Zhou Xiuying felt sorry for her daughter-in-law's hard work in taking care of the child, so she took the initiative to take on the task of taking care of the child.
Then he said to his son, "Jianguo, go and keep Baige company. She might be feeling unwell after drinking the rice wine. Please take good care of her and give her some hot water."
Chen Jianguo looked at his son and said, "I understand. You take Dandan with you first, I'll pick him up later."
Zhou Xiu said, "Go ahead! The child will tell me tonight."
She held Dandan over to face her and said, "Grandma's eldest grandson! How about sleeping with Grandma tonight?"
Dandan heard his own name and started giggling.
Zhou Xiuying said, "Look, he's willing to sleep with me. Okay, go back to sleep! I'll bring him back to you when he's hungry."
Chen Jianguo thought that his parents must also want their child to accompany them, so he agreed.
This is good. His parents are happy and his wife can sleep well.
When I returned to the room, Jiang Baige had already taken off her clothes and climbed onto the bed, where she fell drowsily.
She heard that drinking rice wine can increase milk production, so she wanted to drink some rice wine to increase her milk supply so that her baby could eat for a longer period of time.
But she didn't expect that rice wine would be intoxicating. After drinking a few bowls of rice wine, she felt hot all over. After climbing onto the bed, she felt that the bed was spinning with her.
Chen Jianguo followed his wife into the house and only came to the bed after closing the door.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law's face was flushed, he hurriedly poured her a cup of warm water and added two spoonfuls of honey and stirred it.
Sitting beside the bed, he gently patted her back and said, "Wife, get up and drink some honey water before you go to sleep."
Jiang Baige propped herself up and got up, then asked, "How much honey did you put in it? Is it sweet?"
Chen Jianguo said: "Two spoonfuls, sweet."
Jiang Baige opened her mouth and gulped down the honey water in the cup.
"Are you feeling better?" Chen Jianguo asked with concern.
Jiang Baige nodded, "Much better, just a little dizzy."
Chen Jianguo looked at Jiang Baige, his heart filled with guilt.
He knew that his wife had sacrificed a lot for the child, but he could only watch.
"I'm sorry, daughter-in-law. It's all because of your son. How about we stop him from drinking milk? Even formula is fine."
Chen Jianguo said while holding his wife's hand tightly.
Jiang Baige smiled and said, "It's okay. The baby will have a better physique if he drinks milk, and will get sick less in the future. We'll talk about it later."
Chen Jianguo looked distressed and touched his wife's face.
"But you're working so hard. You finally gained some weight, and your son keeps pestering you. It seems you've lost weight again."
Jiang Baige leaned on Chen Jianguo and said, "It's not hard. I'm willing to do it."
Chen Jianguo said distressedly: "Being a mother is always hard. You are working so hard now. If your son doesn't obey you in the future, I will tell you how I will deal with him."
After hearing this, Jiang Baige couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, he's only a little kid, what does he know now? We have to get up early tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings, so go to bed early."
Chen Jianguo gently patted his wife's shoulder: "It's okay, you go to sleep first, I'll go see our son later. Mom said she wanted to take him over to sleep, and I don't know if he wants to stay there."
Jiang Baige looked up at Chen Jianguo, her eyes full of love, rubbed his big hand and said.
"Brother Jianguo, you are like an older brother. It's great to have you."
Chen Jianguo smiled, lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead, "Go to sleep quickly."
Jiang Baige nodded, slowly closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Chen Jianguo looked at his wife sleeping soundly and secretly swore in his heart that he would love her well and make her live a happy life in the future.
The next morning, Jiang Baige gently woke Chen Jianguo with a smile.
"Brother Jianguo, get up, mom wants us to eat."
Last night, because Dandan didn't want to sleep with his grandparents, Chen Jianguo took care of him all night. He fed him milk, changed his diapers, and played with him. He did everything by himself and didn't want to wake up his wife.
In order to take care of the children, Chen Jianguo got up several times at night and fell asleep only at dawn.
Chen Jianguo stretched and saw his wife sitting on the edge of the bed. He leaned forward and hugged her waist.
Seeing that it was just getting light outside the window, I yawned.
"Ah~~ You're here so early! It's just dawn outside. When did you get up?"
Jiang Baige smiled and said, "My son was woken up by the firecrackers, so I got up too. You should get up quickly! I'm going out to help."
Chen Jianguo hugged her waist tightly and said coquettishly: "Stay with me for a while, it's too cold outside."
Jiang Baige stayed with him in the room for a while, and after he woke up, she went to the kitchen to help cook.
Chen Defu took his eldest grandson to the village early in the morning to greet the elders.
As the sound of firecrackers rang out, Chen Jianguo also began to get busy, preparing to welcome visiting relatives and friends.
Every Chinese New Year is the same, the men gather together and visit every household to wish everyone a happy new year.
On this day, every household was bustling with activity, and laughter echoed under the eaves.
Jiang Baige and her sister-in-law followed her mother-in-law in the kitchen to prepare lunch. Her cooking skills needed to be improved, so she also followed her mother-in-law to learn how to cook seriously.
After lunch, the women and the old men sat around the fire in the yard and chatted.
The children were playing with the dog nearby, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
Jiang Baige was holding the child and Zhou Xiuying didn't let her help with the work.
Chen Jiaojiao and her mother cleared the table together and then made tea for the guests.
Chen Jianguo and Chen Wang were playing cards in the main room with a few brothers, enjoying the rare leisure time.
A few friends who grew up together, except Chen Jianguo and Chen Wang who have made some name for themselves outside, the others are farming in the village.
They rarely get together and are a little hesitant to communicate, so the way they keep in touch is to play childhood games.
In one afternoon, Chen Jianguo lost several packs of cigarettes, and the winners were also very happy.
For dinner, Chen Jianguo treated his group of brothers to a meal alone.
As the one with the most respectable job among them, he couldn't help but take the initiative to treat his brothers to a good meal.
In the evening, the guests left one after another.
After Chen Jianguo saw the guests off, only the Chen family members were left. The family sat together, chatting about what happened during the day, and they were having a great time.
Jiang Baige took out the things she bought from her room. The New Year gift she bought for her parents-in-law was a radio.
Thinking about when they are not around, I hope this thing can keep them company and make them feel less lonely.
Jiang Baige came out of the house holding the radio and said.
"Dad, Mom, I bought this radio for you."
Zhou Xiuying asked in surprise: "What, a radio?"
Chen Jiaojiao's eyes were full of excitement. "Mom, my sister-in-law and I bought this together. Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"
Zhou Xiuying glared at her daughter and then said.
"Why not? This is the first one in our village. Hurry up and plug it in to see if there is any sound."
Chen Jiaojiao joked, "You don't have to worry about electricity anymore."
