There was a pregnant woman and a child in the car, so Gu Mingjing drove very slowly and steadily. The journey that should have taken half an hour actually took more than an hour to get home.
Looking out the car window at the familiar courtyard, Jian Shu suddenly felt nostalgic. She had only been away for half a month, but it felt like a long time had passed.
Gu Mingjing had come back early to clean the room. Jianshu was wrapped up like a bear and brought into the room, and then stuffed into the quilt again the next second.
Jian Shu stared blankly at the top of her head. So after being discharged from the hospital, she just had to lie down somewhere else? What was the difference from before?
Of course there is a difference.
First of all, the house is much quieter. There is no longer a group of children shouting loudly at me, and they are competing with each other. Secondly, there is much more space for activities, and I can see different visitors.
The day after Jianshu returned, Wu Xiufang brought Tiedan to visit.
"I've finally got you back. Ever since the day I learned you were born, I've been counting on my fingers every day. Today I've finally delivered the eggs." Wu Xiufang put the basket on the table and went to the cradle to look after the child.
"This must be Yiyi, she's indeed the child of you and Comrade Gu, she's been a beauty since she was little."
Jian Shu smiled and said, "How can you tell what a person looks like when they are so young?"
"Well, that's not the way to say it. You can still tell whether something is good-looking or not. Take Yiyi's eyebrows, nose, and mouth, for example. They're definitely not that ugly." Wu Xiufang used Tiedan as an example. "This kid was born with a dark complexion and hasn't gotten any whiter in all these years. And look at Yiyi, his face is fair with a hint of rosy red. He's so adorable."
Jianshu was speechless, "Sister-in-law, the child is still here, it's not good to say these things in front of him." What if the child thinks she dislikes him?
Besides, what does Tiedan's dark complexion have to do with his childhood? It's obviously because he runs around in the sun all day long, exposed to the sun every day. How can he be white? With two or three exceptions, there are few white children in the family compound. They are all very dark.
"It's okay, he won't care. He would be unhappy if you said he was white." Wu Xiufang waved her hand.
How else can you say a mother understands her son? Tiedan nodded in agreement, "This is the skin color a man should have!" Like his father and other uncles, they are all the same as him.
Jianshu's mouth twitched slightly, kid, wheat color and black are two different things.
"Beautiful sister, can I touch your little sister?" Wu Xiufang had taught her son before coming that children are fragile and should not be bumped or bruised casually. Tiedan was also a little cautious and asked for advice.
Listening to these confusing names, Jianshu felt a little headache. Well, now the generations are really hard to tell.
"Go ahead and touch it, but the little sister is still small, so be gentle, Tiedan."
"I'll be gentle." Tiedan promised.
Then he carefully approached the little girl Gu Yiyi in the cradle, stretched out his index finger and gently touched her face, "Little sister, your face is so smooth, like an egg."
"Children's faces are all tender, Tiedan was the same when he was little." Jian Shu smiled softly. Her daughter's face felt really good, but it was a pity that she couldn't touch it too much. Otherwise, she would kiss her non-stop.
Tiedan reached out and touched his face, a little skeptical, "Really?" But why did it feel different?
He touched it again and came to a conclusion after comparing it, "The little sister is still smoother."
The two adults burst out laughing.
Wu Xiufang looked at the child with envy. She picked him up and felt the weight in her hands. "This child is well-fed and feels good in my hands. He has some flesh on his face and looks healthy."
When her eldest child was born, he was very skinny and she was worried that she wouldn't be able to raise him well. Fortunately, he is tall and big now.
Jian Shu tugged at the blanket. "This child has a good appetite and eats a lot. She was only 5.625 kg when she was born, and in less than a week, she's already 6 catties. How can she not be handy? I'm worried she'll grow into a fat girl if she continues like this."
She was helpless when she talked about this. This child was good in every way except that she was very protective of food and was particularly fierce when drinking milk. Every time she saw her wolfing down her food, she would be glad that she didn't breastfeed, otherwise she would be in so much pain.
"It's better for children to be a little fat. Fat children are blessed." Wu Xiufang disagreed.
People these days prefer a plump figure, and the concept of raising children is that the fatter the better. Jianshu didn't argue with her about this.
The two talked for a while, and soon it was time for little Gu Yiyi to drink milk.
Wu Xiufang didn't stay any longer after seeing him. "You haven't recovered yet, so I won't bother you any more. We can talk about it after you're out of confinement. We'll go back first."
Jianshu didn't try to persuade him to stay. "Okay, sister-in-law, if you're free, come and talk to me. Tiedan too. I'm bored since I can't go out, so I'm looking forward to you guys coming to tell me about the latest news outside."
"Okay, I'll come to see you when I have time." Wu Xiufang agreed readily.
"I came to see my younger sister and beautiful elder sister too!" In just a short while, Tiedan's heart was attracted by the newborn little sister.
The little sister is so cute! But she is always sleeping and can’t get up to play with him.
Jianshu's mouth twitched slightly. "Come on, kid, who are you accompanying? I'm just a bystander, right?"
Sure enough, her status plummeted after the child was born, and even Tiedan was more of a younger sister.
He waved his hand weakly, "Lingling, pack some apples for my sister-in-law to take back. Don't refuse, there are still many at home, and we can't finish them. Take them back and let the children try them."
Meng Ying got these apples. Before she gave birth, she wanted to eat apples, but Meng Ying didn't let her eat too many and promised to buy her a basket after the birth. She had forgotten about it for a few days, but she didn't forget and brought a basket back yesterday.
How can you eat so much at once? It loses its flavor over time because of the loss of moisture. Share some with relatives, eat some at home, and dry the rest and boil it into sauce.
"Then I won't be polite with you. Remember to eat the eggs I brought. They are all fresh and good for your health." Wu Xiufang stood up, took the basket handed to her by Zhao Yueling, and thanked her.
Then he took Tiedan, who was reluctant to leave, out.
"Sister, do you want an apple? I'll peel one for you."
"Okay, pick a small one. I want to save room for dinner."
