It was like a pillow being delivered just when you're sleepy. Zhu Fanfan naturally nodded eagerly. Grandpa is so good. She decided that she wouldn't dislike Grandpa anymore.
Zhu Jiabao asked again, "Can you grow crops in this space?"
Zhu Fanfan nodded happily, "Yes, yes! Give her a seed today, and tomorrow's harvest will crush her!"
Zhu Jiabao was relieved and then thought about what kind of seeds to get. Wheat and corn were a must, and he didn't know if he could grow rice, as these were the main grains. He also thought about potatoes and sweet potatoes, which were filling foods.
Suddenly, Zhu Fanfan needed to urinate urgently and started screaming. Zhu Jiabao was still thinking and didn't notice. By the time she noticed, Zhu Fanfan had already wet the bed. After urinating, Zhu Fanfan felt utterly hopeless. Suddenly, she remembered that she could find a way to relieve herself.
Zhu Jiabao realized he had made a mistake when he saw the blanket was wet, so he wrapped Zhu Fanfan up and ran away. Zhu Fanfan was completely bewildered. She had only wet the bed, and they just abandoned her. Did the Zhu family really treat their child like this?
Zhu Jiabao knocked loudly on the door next door. The door was open, but his younger brother Ming was at work today, so he knocked to let his sister-in-law know he was at her house. He knocked and went straight in, heading straight for the bedroom door. He knocked again, and Da Mei came out.
Da Mei asked curiously, "Brother Zhu, what brings you here? Old Ming hasn't come back yet."
Zhu Jiabao had no choice but to say, "Fanfan peed. She's a girl, and I'm too embarrassed to change her diaper. Could you help me change it?"
Da Mei: ...What does a child know when they're so young?
Yan Xiaoxiao was about to take the baby when Da Mei immediately stepped forward: "You're about to give birth, why are you causing trouble? I'll hold the baby."
After saying that, she took Zhu Fanfan and carried her into the house. Zhu Jiabao followed her in. While Da Mei was changing the baby's diaper, he sat in the living room waiting.
Looking at Zhu Fanfan from inside the room, Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but find him adorable. She then gave her mother-in-law a wink, and Da Mei understood, quickly changing Fanfan's diaper.
She went out and saw Zhu Jiabao, saying, "Brother Zhu, you've been busy for so many days. You finally have a day off, why are you still taking care of the child? Here's what we'll do: you go back and get some rest. I'll take care of the child for you. You should rest properly on your day off."
Zhu Jiabao naturally objected; he hadn't had enough of his granddaughter yet! Usually, his wife takes care of her, and he only holds her when she's too busy. Now that she has all the time in the day, he should be in charge.
“Your sister-in-law Yumin doesn’t let the child out of my sight, so I can take care of her. Your Xiaoxiao is about to give birth, so taking care of Xiaoxiao is more important.”
Yan Xiaoxiao's voice came from inside the house: "Uncle Zhu, I still have quite a few days before I give birth. I can take care of Fanfan whenever I have time. You should go and get some rest!"
Zhu Fanfan was more familiar with her grandfather, and she was about to cry because she was scared; there was a strange aunt here!
Zhu Jiabao naturally refused: "Xiaoxiao, you're pregnant, so your mother can take good care of you. The child is too noisy; I don't want him to accidentally bump into you."
Da Mei immediately took action: "Do you think it's convenient for a grown man like you to take care of a child? You don't even know how to change a diaper. I don't trust you, sister-in-law. I know better than you. Go back and get some rest! I'll bring it over when you get back."
As he spoke, he pushed the person out. Zhu Jiabao naturally didn't dare to push him back forcefully. He was pushed out of the door with a bang, and then the door was slammed shut and locked neatly.
Zhu Jiabao: ...My granddaughter got lost while I was out.
Resigned to his fate, he went back to pack his things, and carrying a large bundle, he returned to the Ming family home.
When Da Mei saw it was Zhu Jiabao, she didn't even want to open the door. Zhu Jiabao quickly said, "I just had to go out to run some errands. These are Fanfan's clothes and formula. I'll come back to pick up the child at noon."
Da Mei then opened the door with a smile, took the things, and urged them to leave: "Your business is important, go quickly! You can come back to pick up the child tonight."
With a "bang," Zhu Jiabao was locked out again and had no choice but to leave. He needed to find seeds and burlap sacks. Don't ask why he needed burlap sacks; it was just to be prepared for a rainy day and to store the grain. He never doubted whether the crops would grow successfully.
Inside the house, Yan Xiaoxiao looked outside: "Uncle Zhu is gone?"
Da Mei said happily, "I saw it leave with my own eyes."
Yan Xiaoxiao was about to pick him up when Da Mei quickly picked him up, saying, "Just look at him for now. Your belly is so big, you might get kicked."
Yan Xiaoxiao didn't care: "He's not a brat, how hard could he kick me? Mom, I heard that if you hold a boy a lot during pregnancy, you'll have a boy, and if you hold a girl a lot, you'll have a girl. Let me hold him more."
Da Mei slapped away Yan Xiaoxiao's outstretched hand in annoyance: "That's for when you're newly pregnant and the first child you hold. You're about to give birth, so it doesn't matter anymore. Don't be silly, this child looks like a New Year's picture doll, so adorable. No wonder Sister-in-law Yumin holds him every day and can't bear to let him go to daycare."
This chubby, white thing looked like a steamed bun, with its little arms segmented like lotus roots. It kept smiling, looking so festive. But glancing at Yan Xiaoxiao's belly, she felt that things were probably going to be tough this time too.
Yan Xiaoxiao said, "Mother, I consulted an old doctor and had him take my pulse. He said I'm having a girl this time, so our Ming family will have a girl in the future."
Da Mei was naturally happy. Old Zhu always teased her, saying that they were all men and no women, and that the house was full of monks. She had been eyeing girls for a long time.
Yan Xiaoxiao said, "Mom, I wish the child was as good-looking as Fanfan."
Her children are all mischievous little devils; they make her angry whenever she sees them, and she wishes she could put them back in her womb and give birth to them all over again.
Da Mei wasn't quite sure: "I heard that Fanfan's maternal grandparents were heartthrobs when they were young, her mother was also a beauty, and her father's looks alone were enough to make her mother devoted to him..."
It's not that she's belittling her youngest son and daughter-in-law; they're just ordinary people. Her son, because of his military service, has now entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has developed a convincing aura. But he's really not good-looking; he has a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. Aside from praising his good looks, there's nothing else to say.
As for the younger daughter-in-law, she can't be described as ugly, but she does know how to dress well; her clothes are quite nice.
Yan Xiaoxiao didn't care. So what if she liked good-looking people? Seeing good-looking people made her feel good.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did nothing all morning but feed each other water and milk, and play with each other occasionally. Zhu Fanfan seemed to be enjoying it, crossing his legs and shaking his feet. This is the ultimate luxury; everything is taken care of for him wherever he goes. He's very comfortable.
Da Mei exclaimed in delight, "Xiao Xiao, don't you think she looks beautiful when she smiles?"
Yan Xiaoxiao said regretfully, "It's a pity I don't have a camera. I wanted to take more pictures of her to keep for myself. Aunt Yumin is very strict with her. In the hospital, she doesn't allow anyone else to touch her except for herself and the hospital director."
It was soon noon, and Zhu Jiabao came to pick up the child. Da Mei tentatively asked, "How about letting Fanfan stay at home for another afternoon?"
