Haitang felt a pang of heartache seeing Dongfang Chen so well-behaved. She watched as Dongfang Chen washed the diapers and hung them outside the door, with a little mermaid baby on his back and Dongfang Meng lying on the rocking chair next to him.
"Xu, don't cry. If you're hungry, your brother will give you honey. Mom didn't get any sleep yesterday because of your crying. You have to be a good boy and listen to me. Your brother will take you to play in a little while." Dongfang Chen said as he looked at Dongfang Meng.
Dongfang Meng blinked at Dongfang Chen's words, staring at him without saying a word. Dongfang Chen washed the diapers and immediately made honey for Dongfang Meng to drink. The mermaid baby was placed in a basin of water not far away.
Dongfang Meng obediently drank the honey her brother poured for her. When she looked at her brother, she reached out and grabbed his hair. Seeing this happen, Dongfang Chen looked helpless but did not stop the child.
"Mommy, you're awake...did I wake you?" Dongfang Chen is almost five years old this year. At this age, he should be carefree, but because of...
Haitang understood immediately. "No, it's because Mommy slept enough that she woke up. Is the child being good?" Haitang asked.
Dongfang Chen nodded immediately, "They are all very obedient and well-behaved. Xiaomeng is the best-behaved."
"Let me hold the baby," Haitang said. Dongfang Chen nodded and held the baby for Haitang before going back to work. When Haitang looked at Dongfang Chen, she thought of Xingxing and Yueyue.
In this era, every child is an obedient and well-behaved baby. They can do many things at a young age. When Haitang has a child, Dongfang Chen chooses to wash Haitang's clothes.
Dongfang Chen has a strong grip, and since the clothes are summer clothes, he can wash them very clean. Now that Haitang is in her postpartum period, Dongfang Chen is washing all of Haitang's diapers and clothes.
Sometimes, he would bring food to Haitang. Perhaps because Dongfang Long was not around, Haitang had a difficult pregnancy and gave birth.
So she needed to rest for a while. During this period, Haitang realized that her baby had grown up. Dongfang Chen was no longer just a child who could act spoiled, but also a child who could protect her.
Dongfang Chen sometimes takes her child out. The chubby little guy attracts a lot of attention, but at such a young age, it's hard to tell who he looks like. In these situations, some people wonder, "Why hasn't your mother been out for so long?"
“Mother said that Dream of the Red Chamber is different from other novels. It needs to be written in detail, and there are parts that she is afraid others will not understand, so she needs to make annotations. Mother is working hard to finish writing it these days, so she is even more tired.” Dongfang Chen said, and the females nodded in agreement.
"I also think so. I don't understand this version of Dream of the Red Chamber. But some people understand it and say it's good, and they cried buckets. They told me to read it carefully. Sigh... If you're not smart, you have to use your brain to read it. Writing it must take your brain too." Those people nodded as they looked at Dongfang Chen.
Dongfang Chen smiled and said, "Yes, my mother said the same thing. But you can watch it a few more times, it will be good for you in the future." Hearing this, the people nodded and left.
After resting for half a month, Haitang started getting out of bed. She had recovered her health after half a month of postpartum care and started going back to work because she felt sorry for Dongfang Chen taking care of the baby alone.
“Mom… Aunt Guyue said you need to lie down for a while, otherwise it’s not good for your health. Aunt Guyue herself only lies down for a month.” Dongfang Chen said as he looked at Haitang.
“Mom is different.” Hearing this, Haitang shook her head and said, “Mom is a beastman, but your Aunt Guyue is not.” Haitang said with a smile, while Dongfang Chen frowned upon hearing this.
“Yes, Mom can transform into a beast, but the problem is that Aunt Guyue has Brother Changning by her side, but you don’t…” Dongfang Chen’s serious words stunned Haitang, and she sighed as she looked at the child.
"Okay, Mom will lie down properly, you silly child." Haitang knew in her heart that she would also be unwell in many ways without Dongfang Long.
At least with Dongfang Long taking care of her, things would be much easier. Now that's gone, Xiao He will come over for a while, but Haitang is different; she doesn't need to trouble anyone else.
In truth, Haitang still longed for Dongfang Long. Sometimes she would secretly cry at night, thinking about Dongfang Long until she cried. Of course, Haitang didn't tell anyone about this.
When Haitang reached out to hug the child and watched the baby blow bubbles, she thought, "You little rascal." The adorable child's bubbles melted Haitang's heart.
Looking at the little baby, she held her with tenderness and said, "In the future... Xiaomeng will be as well-behaved as Xiaotuanzi, and then Mommy will be happy."
"Don't worry, Mom, Xiaomeng will be just like me." Looking at Haitang, Dongfang Chen immediately said, "Mom, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
Haitang nodded. Dongfang Chen went to get some food for Haitang. The baby mermaid was in a basin of water not far away. It grabbed Haitang's hand and licked it to comfort her. Haitang looked at the children.
The sadness in her heart gradually lessened. In fact, after the child was born, Dongfang Long was not around. Haitang knew that this was not Dongfang Long's fault, but she still couldn't help feeling a little lost.
Haitang tried her best to adjust her mood to avoid postpartum depression. When she saw Dongfang Chen bringing over the food, she got up, sat down, and started eating.
Looking at the child beside her, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless. "You should try some too." Dongfang Chen nodded, took a few bites, and found the taste bland, not really to his liking.
