Chen Zheng took it and said with a smile, "Yes, thank you, Grandma."
Since Yi Yi was born, Tang Wan's emotions have become somewhat unstable.
Chen Zheng works during the day and tries his best to help when he comes home at night.
But often, he felt powerless.
After all, he can't replace his wife in breastfeeding.
The family has a housekeeper who cooks for them, and their mother and grandmother are also there, but Tang Wan is always worried about trusting others to do many things.
She didn't even trust her own mother, which made her look extremely haggard.
Chen Zheng tried to talk to her, but she just gave him perfunctory replies and forgot about it as soon as she turned her head.
Seeing his wife's mood getting worse and worse, Chen Zheng was very anxious.
But people of this era naturally don't know that this could be an illness.
Ye Lan remained silent for a while before finally speaking: "Boss, does Wanwan have some kind of grudge against me?"
Ye Lan's eyes were slightly red. "If Mom does anything wrong, please tell me, and I will try my best to correct it."
Her tone was slightly flustered.
Chen Zheng quickly waved his hand, "Mom, don't overthink it, Wanwan didn't say anything."
He didn't know how to explain it, and the more he talked, the more powerless he felt, until finally he sighed.
Xu Ruantang listened in the background the whole time.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, is your wife's temper completely different from before she had the baby?"
Chen Zheng looked up.
“When I went to Shenzhen on a business trip, my teacher told me that women experience hormonal imbalances after childbirth.”
Before Chen Zheng could speak, Xu Ruantang continued, "I don't remember the exact words, but the gist was that my sister-in-law is probably sick."
She didn't originally intend to say those words.
Because mental health issues are not yet widespread in China, no one would consider them to be illnesses.
If I said it out loud, people would just think I was being pretentious.
Chen Zheng became a little anxious and suddenly stood up from the stool. "What?"
Xu Ruantang quickly continued, "Brother, don't worry. Our teacher said that this is just a mild psychological phenomenon. As long as the family takes good care of her, the mother will recover quickly."
The old lady waved her hand, gesturing for Chen Zheng to sit down, "Zheng'er, let Ruan Tang finish speaking first."
"To put it simply, my sister-in-law was in a bad mood, and taking care of the child was too tiring. Suddenly becoming a mother put too much pressure on her, and she couldn't handle it."
Xu Ruantang said directly, "For example, if a baby has a blocked milk duct, and the baby can't get enough milk, the baby will cry and become even more anxious."
"The more anxious you are, the worse your mood becomes, and the more severe the breast engorgement will be."
"Regarding this, if all else fails, let Yi Yi drink some formula for a few meals. Brother, you should take your sister-in-law to the hospital and let the doctor take a look."
"And the soup too. My sister-in-law's mother came today, and I could tell she didn't want any soup at all."
"This also requires the eldest brother to communicate with his mother-in-law."
Chen Zheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
She is, after all, his mother-in-law; it's inappropriate for him to be in that position.
The old lady spoke up at the right moment: "I'll talk to her. From now on, Wanwan can eat and drink whatever she wants. None of us should interfere."
Xu Ruantang was surprised by the old lady's open-mindedness and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
When Xiao Bao saw this, he started to imitate it as well.
Ye Lan's eyes lit up, her earlier embarrassment at not knowing where to start vanished.
It turns out Wanwan was sick.
It's not that I dislike her.
Ye Lan felt much more at ease instantly.
After all, this was the Chen family's first grandson, and Ye Lan believed she had taken very good care of him.
That's why it was so hard for her to accept being disliked by her daughter-in-law.
"Ruan Tang, tell me quickly, is there anything else we need to pay attention to?"
Ye Lan listened attentively, thinking that she must help Wanwan get better as soon as possible.
Even a minor illness is still an illness.
Xu Ruantang lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then put herself in her shoes and said, "Don't fight with your sister-in-law for the child."
"Brother, talk to your wife tonight and tell her what Mom and Grandma need to do in the future, and they will do it."
"Also, brother, could you take a few days off and take your wife out for a stroll?"
“She’s already out of confinement. My sister-in-law just said that she feels she’s gained weight from eating and sleeping all day. So let’s get some new clothes made for her.”
“Take her out to eat something she likes, watch a movie or something. Just continue the same way you got along before you had the child.”
“Brother, your sister-in-law can only rely on you now. She can’t argue with her own mother’s words because they are for her own good, and she can’t argue with her mother-in-law either, so you have to stand in front of her.”
Xu Ruantang's mouth was dry from talking, so she got up, poured a few glasses of water, and brought them over.
The other three seemed to be processing what she had just said.
They all sat there motionless.
Xu Ruantang fed Xiaobao some water and then drank a large cup herself.
the next day.
She took Xiaobao to the Xifosi Market early in the morning.
After Xiao Bao finished breakfast, she took a nap, and Xu Ruantang stayed with her in the house in the courtyard.
After Xiao Bao fell asleep, Xu Ruantang asked her godmother to watch over her while she went next door.
She hasn't made a cake herself in a long time.
Qiu Liang handed her a set of kitchen uniforms, "These are for Zhang Li; she happens to be off today."
Xu Ruantang took it. "Thank you. How is she?"
I haven't been here for a while, and as the weather gets colder, more and more people are enjoying sweets.
There's always a queue at the store; business is pretty good.
Qiu Liang nodded. "Very good, hardworking and reliable."
Xu Ruantang plans to make almond cookies today.
Chen Zheng will bring Tang Wan over in a little while.
She planned to have her godmother take Tang Wan's measurements and make several sets of clothes that would fit her.
The cookies will be fresh out of the oven by then.
Eating something sweet can improve your mood.
Making almond cookie is not difficult either. Mix butter and powdered sugar and beat until milky white. Add whole eggs one at a time and mix well.
Add low-gluten and high-gluten flour and continue mixing.
Then fold it into a dough, divide it into equal portions, roll it into long strips, brush the surface with water and sprinkle with almond pieces.
Place on a tray and freeze in the refrigerator.
Then take it out, slice it into even slices, bake until cooked, and let it cool.
Xu Ruantang made a lot and left some food for Qiu Liang and the others. She then pushed Sister Juan with the biscuits next door.
Xiao Bao is already awake and is squatting on the ground pulling yarn.
Seeing the cookies in Xu Ruantang's hand, he stood up and ran over.
Her eyes are like radar; once she spotted the cookie, she wouldn't move, reaching out to grab it with all her might, looking like a little glutton.
Xu Ruantang picked one up and handed it to her, instead of giving it to her directly.
Instead, they asked, "Xiao Bao, who gave you the cookies?"
Xiao Bao spun around anxiously, quickly replying, "Mommy, Mommy."
As soon as she got the cookies, she immediately stuffed them into her mouth and ate them.
Sister Juan was intrigued and bent down to ask Xiao Bao, "Baby, is it sweet?"
Little Bao nestled in his godmother's arms, eating while shaking his head, and even knew to answer, "Sweet."
His unclear pronunciation and the way he was chewing something made all the adults in the room laugh.
