Su Qinghu didn't sleep well that night.
Suddenly there was another person around me, and he was a heat source, which was simply impossible to ignore.
She kicked Chen Lie awake twice and asked him to pour her some water. Chen Lie completed the task quickly and well, so much so that Su Qinghu couldn't vent her temper, which had been growing recently.
The next morning, Chen Lie got up quietly, carefully closed the bedroom door, walked out of the living room, and saw his mother, Ms. Meng, busy in the kitchen.
He: "Mom, let me do it."
"Why are you here? Come on, Xiao Su's taste has changed recently. Do you know what she likes?" Ms. Meng glanced at him with disdain. "What do you want to eat?"
Chen Lie: “I can do either.”
"What time did Xiao Su go to bed last night? Did she sleep well?" Ms. Meng asked as she worked. "From today on, she doesn't have to go to work. Did you wake her when you got up?"
Chen Lie: "I went to bed before midnight last night and woke up twice during the night. When I got up, I didn't wake her up."
Ms. Meng stopped what she was doing, turned around, and looked at her son. "Did you wake up twice during the night?"
"Yeah, I drank some water." Chen Lie saw that Ms. Meng's face was serious, so he also looked serious. "Is there something wrong?"
Ms. Meng: "Did she say she felt uncomfortable? Or that she felt pain coming on?"
"No." Chen Lie was sure of this.
Ms. Meng relaxed her expression and turned back. "Oh, that's okay."
Chen Lie looked at Ms. Meng's back, thought for a moment, and walked out of the kitchen.
Ms. Meng suddenly called him, her voice low, "Don't wake her up. Xiao Su just started skipping work. Tell her to sleep a little longer."
When she is not working, she sleeps as much as possible. When she was young, she would just sleep all day long when she was very tired, not to mention that Xiao Su is pregnant.
Chen Lie said, "I didn't mean to wake her up."
"Then please be gentle and don't wake anyone up." With more people at home, I have to give more instructions early in the morning.
When there were only four of them at home, they were in sync and automatically formed the current habit of getting up in the morning, washing up, and speaking quietly without being reminded.
Chen Lie: “…Got it.”
Is he the kind of person who needs to be reminded before he pays attention to things like this?
Feeling Ms. Meng's disgust, Chen Lie suddenly thought of what happened last night.
Could it be that he came back suddenly and she wasn't used to it, so she woke up twice during the night?
Chen Lie didn't realize that he had already figured out the truth. He washed up, said hello to Ms. Meng, and went out.
Dadan and Erdan woke up and tiptoed to the kitchen.
Erdan: "Grandma, my dad hasn't woken up yet?"
"I'm awake. I just went out." Ms. Meng looked at Erdan. "Have you thought of the poem about the sunset last night?"
Erdan: "...I can finish it before I get home from school today."
"That's good." Ms. Meng's eyes were kind and joyful. "Grandma is waiting to excerpt the words from your poem to add to the sunset I took last night."
Erdan really wanted to scratch his head.
I was careless for a moment. The poem is short, but it was a bit difficult to write.
I need to ask the teacher about some things to pay attention to during the break today so that I can finish it in one go...
"Hurry up and wash up with your brother," Ms. Meng urged. "You got up ten minutes late today. You need to hurry up."
I made fried eggs for the child, warmed up the milk, and prepared steamed buns and steamed yam slices, as well as blanched green leafy vegetables.
Anyway, it’s a mixture of Chinese and Western styles. You can eat it in any way that is nutritious and comfortable.
The two children quickly washed up, went to the kitchen together, set up the folding table, and the three of them ate first.
While Erdan was eating, he said to Ms. Meng, "Grandma, do babies have to wash their clothes before wearing them?"
"Yes," Ms. Meng nodded, peeling the yam while saying, "Especially for newborns, clothes must be washed and aired. Not only for cleanliness and hygiene, but also to prevent dust or other irritants from irritating the baby's skin."
Children's skin is delicate. If something happens to them, they will have to take medicine at such a young age, which is heartbreaking.
Erdan and Dadan looked at each other, and he suddenly sighed, "Okay then."
"What's wrong?" Ms. Meng was curious. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
The clothes prepared for the children at home have been washed and dried many times, so there is no need to worry.
Dadan: "Grandma, Erdan and I bought some clothes for...my little brother and hid them in our room."
Ms. Meng was shocked.
"It was only washed once and dried in our own bedroom," Erdan added.
Ms. Meng: "When did this happen? Don't you two always go home on time after school?"
"We went there at noon." Dadan told the truth.
Ms. Meng: “You guys…”
What do these two kids know? There are so many tricks to buying clothes. Don’t buy clothes that don’t fit and end up not being able to wear them. It’s a waste of effort and makes the kids sad!
"We measured the baby clothes you bought, grandma. The size won't be wrong." Erdan grinned proudly.
After feeling proud, he sighed, "Those clothes have never seen the sun and have only been washed once. Grandma, can you ask my dad to wash and dry them again today?"
Grandma is going to accompany grandpa today, so only dad and mom are at home.
I originally wanted to tell my dad, but now I have no choice but to tell my grandma.
Ms. Meng naturally agreed.
After the two children carried their schoolbags and walked out of the yard, Ms. Meng did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she put the clothes the two children took out into the basin, washed them by hand, and hung them up to dry before she breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s safer to wash it yourself!
When Chen Lie came back, he saw the small clothes hanging in the yard, and his heart immediately softened.
After looking at them for a while, it suddenly occurred to me that these clothes were different from the packages of baby clothes in their bedroom.
These two...
It's obviously for boys!
"Mom," Chen Lie walked over to Ms. Meng, who was wiping her hands, "this dress—"
"These clothes were bought by Dadan and Erdan," Ms. Meng said with a smile. "They used their pocket money saved."
No wonder these two kids seemed to be living a tight life before, it turns out they spent their money here.
"You already know the gender of the baby?" Chen Lie frowned.
He believed Su Qinghu, she would never ask anyone to check the gender of the child in advance.
Ms. Meng: “I don’t know.”
Ms. Meng was puzzled. "We like boys and girls, so we didn't bother to do anything."
She and Chen Bai have experienced so much that they don’t care much about whether the baby is a boy or a girl. As long as the baby is healthy, they are happy.
"That--"
Chen Lie had barely spoken a word when Ms. Meng followed his gaze, landing on a few small clothes clearly designed for baby boys, and smiled. "Once, Xiao Su was wronged and burst into tears. That was when Erdan firmly hoped that Xiao Su would give him a brother..."
Ms. Meng spoke with a laugh, and her mood became happier and happier as she spoke.
