After returning home, Jianshu's postpartum confinement life became much more comfortable.
Little Gu Yiyi is a very well-behaved baby. As long as she has food and drink and her diapers are changed in time, she hardly cries.
Without the piercing noises, the whole family felt much quieter. Plus, with so many people taking care of the family, taking turns ensuring everyone had a good rest and plenty of energy, both adults and children felt comfortable.
Over the past two days, some people who were somewhat acquainted with Jianshu and the child have come to visit. Regardless of their inner thoughts, they all have nothing but praise. There were also those who jokingly suggested arranging a marriage for the child, but Jianshu directly rejected them.
Are you kidding me? What era are we still seeing arranged marriages? She only has this one little darling, so of course her future is hers to decide. She can be with whoever she wants, and if she's not satisfied, she can just leave and move on. Even if she doesn't want to get married, that's fine. Her happiness is what matters most.
Anyway, her family didn't have a throne to inherit, so there was no need to leave a bloodline. The people in front of her were the most important, and the empty future was not worth mentioning.
Especially now, how many of those who come to propose marriage are truly attracted to the child himself? What can you tell from a baby that's only a few days old? Aren't they just after the status?
Jian Shu understood their thoughts and clearly cut off this possibility. Those people naturally understood their expressions and simply ignored the topic without bringing it up again.
After most of the visitors had arrived, the house was filled with a lot of miscellaneous things, including the usual eggs, brown sugar, etc., and someone even brought two fish to the door.
Seeing this, Jian Shu made a joke, "Little Gu Yiyi is finally not just in and out. At least he got back the gift I gave him earlier."
In the past two years, she hasn't given gifts to anyone. She only gives gifts to those who have children, those who marry off their daughters, and those who marry their daughters-in-law...
She finally understood why so many people like to have more children nowadays. If you have fewer children, you can't even get the gifts back. Others have three or five children, but you only have one, which is just a loss.
"The gifts I received in the past few days are not enough to cover the cost of milk powder for one or two months. There will be much more in the future when there is only income and no expenditure." Zhao Yueling did the math in her mind and couldn't help but criticize her sister.
Jian Shu glanced at her dimly, "If that's the case, then shouldn't you, as her aunt, be generous and donate? For example, cover all of your niece's food rations?"
Zhao Yueling immediately covered her pockets and said, "I have no money!" She was so poor that she didn't even ask her sister for some support. But her sister, a rich woman, was still eyeing her meager money?
People’s hearts are no longer the same as they used to be!
"What are you secretly criticizing me for?" Jian Shu raised his eyes warily.
"I didn't!" Zhao Yueling immediately retorted.
Jianshu: "...Do you know that this is called confessing without being asked?" Stupid sister.
Zhao Yueling immediately shut up and looked up at the sky and down at the earth, but not at her sister.
"Okay, stop standing in front of me and go read your book. Have you finished your elementary school books? You're such a grown-up, it would be embarrassing if you can't even get full marks on elementary school content." Jian Shu waved his hand and started to drive him away.
After coming back, she began to pay close attention to Zhao Yueling's studies again.
"Oh." Zhao Yueling responded dejectedly and went to review resignedly.
Her sister did what she said and actually kept a close eye on her studies every week and even gave her tests. What kind of crazy person could do such a thing?
After teasing his sister, Jianshu felt very happy.
But when she looked at her little girl sleeping soundly in the cradle beside her, she began to worry about this.
"Yi Yi, are you a little too fat?" Children change every day. Compared to when he was just born, little Gu Yi Yi has become a lot stronger.
The little hands and feet are chubby, and the arms and legs are segmented. Basically everyone who comes to see the child at home will say that this child is blessed.
What's lucky? Isn't it just being fat?
Although it is cute for children to be a little chubby, she is worried that if they continue to grow like this, they will really become a little fat boy.
And not only the child, but she herself has gained a lot of weight.
During the confinement period, she had all kinds of meat and soup every day. Meng Ying also often prepared special meals for her. In addition, she didn't do much exercise. At most, she would walk around the house and couldn't even step out of the door.
How can you not gain weight if you eat and drink well every day but don’t exercise?
Every time she wanted to eat less and worried about the fat on her face, others seemed to be blind and kept saying that she was not fat at all, and then stuffed her with all kinds of delicious food, causing her diet plan to fail.
Meng Ying walked in and overheard her sigh. She immediately knew she was having another one, so she said, "Why are you fat? Giving birth takes a lot of energy, so you need to make up for it during the confinement period. Other people get scolded for wanting a few eggs after a baby's birth. If I make you chicken soup and you refuse to eat it because it's too greasy, people will definitely gossip about you behind your back."
Jian Shu touched her nose in dissatisfaction and said, "Isn't that just my feeling?" But her words did cause some hostility. These days, it is not always possible to gain weight.
"I see you're just sitting around at home with nothing to do." Meng Ying tapped her forehead. "Go lie down on the bed. Didn't I tell you to wear socks? Why did you take them off again? Be careful not to cause any illness. I won't care what you do in the future. Now just listen to me. Eat and drink as you should. If you want to lose weight, wait until you're out of confinement. Do you understand?"
"knew."
Jian Shu obediently returned to her bed and continued to lie down. Meng Ying had always been very strict regarding her health and would not let her do what she wanted. Even other people would not stand on her side.
But she also knew that Meng Ying was doing this for her own good, so most of the time she would just protest a few words and then obey him obediently.
What she is looking forward to most now is to get out of confinement as soon as possible. She wants to lose weight!
