Chapter 1: Morning Rising

Next Chapter

As soon as I get up in the morning, Shin Shin starts to get busy. Fold the quilt, clean up the bed, wash the child's face, buttocks, and clothes. As soon as she finished tossing, her mother-in-law took the bowl and went to her house: "Is the child up?" ”

Xinxin nodded, squeezing out a little smile: "Get up." ”

The mother-in-law walked in happily when she heard this, sat down on the bed, lifted the half bowl of porridge she was eating in front of the child, and began to tease the child: "You are up, will you eat?" The three-month-old child danced her little hands curiously, which was her answer. The old lady was even happier, and brought the rice bowl closer to the child, as if she really wanted to feed him. Xinxin knew that she wouldn't feed it, and the child was still breastfeeding, and she couldn't drink porridge at all. But she still began to interrupt her mother-in-law: "Mom, you can eat quickly, and after eating, give me a fried green onion egg." ”

The mother-in-law let out an "oh" happily, but with obvious reluctance on her face, she walked out step by step.

Xinxin knew that she wanted to play with her children for a while, but why did she have to pick this time, couldn't she finish eating? My mother-in-law likes to eat hot food, so although some of the porridge in the bowl has been drunk, it is still bubbling hot. It is actually very dangerous to hold the bowl so close to the child. My son is very active and very active now, what if he knocks over the bowl and burns the child? This old lady, how many times has she said, she just doesn't listen.

While secretly venting her dissatisfaction with her mother-in-law in her heart, Xinxin was busy with her hands and feet, she made several quilts into long strips, layered them into a large oval circle, and put the child in the middle. There is no floor heating at home, and the room temperature sometimes can't even reach 16 degrees Celsius in winter, so for fear of freezing the child, her husband Mu Nan installed an electric heater in the house. Therefore, the temperature in Shin Shin's room is always a few degrees higher than that in other rooms. It doesn't matter if you close the door at night, as soon as the door is opened in the morning, as soon as the air circulates on both sides, there will always be a cool breeze coming in. The room is too small, the door is facing the bed, in order to prevent the child from blowing a cool breeze, Shin Shin always folds the quilt high to block the child a little. And now that the child is getting older and older, I don't know when I have to learn to turn over by myself, and I am not afraid that he will turn over and fall off the bed.

The mother-in-law also knew Xinxin's thoughts, but for some reason it was so unpleasant to look at the quilt, and when looking at the child, it was inconvenient to rely on the child, as if she wanted to separate her from her grandson. When I went out and saw Xinxin working on the quilt again, I couldn't tell the greasy smell in my heart. Xinxin didn't see the old lady's expression, but she couldn't see it and guessed it. No matter what, the child is the most important, and everything else is on the back foot.

By the time she had finished the quilt, her mother-in-law had already gone into the kitchen to scramble eggs.

"It's really neat today." Xinxin was secretly surprised in her heart, the daily routine is that her mother-in-law eats breakfast first, and then comes to see the children, and then goes to eat in exchange for Xinxin. Usually don't wait for Xinxin's stomach to growl with hunger, and her mother-in-law can't finish breakfast. Can be ...... today Xinxin looked up at her watch and finally came to her senses. I got up more than half an hour later than usual today, and the little guy made a fuss for half the night last night, so both of them got up late this morning, and they had to take care of Mu Nan's breakfast at work, but it was on time, so Xinxin was busy, and her mother-in-law also finished breakfast.

Thinking of last night's situation, Xinxin couldn't help but sigh, it's really tiring to make children alone at night. When she didn't give birth to a child, Mu Nan often boasted to Xinxin, her mother-in-law had seen six children, the sister-in-law was coarse, and she died very well when she slept, and her mother-in-law was afraid that she would turn over and press the child when she became a mother for the first time, so the sister-in-law's children slept with them for the first half of the year. The second sister-in-law's milk is not good, although the second brother and sister-in-law make the child by themselves at night during the confinement, they have never slept with the second sister-in-law since the confinement child, and the mother-in-law sleeps alone. Xinxin listened to it at the time and looked forward to it, thinking that when she had a child, as long as she took her mother-in-law over, she could be a relaxed mother, but ...... Xinxin smiled bitterly, but the fact is that Xinxin's fetal position was not correct, and she had a caesarean section in advance, and her mother-in-law only accompanied her in the hospital for two nights, and she began to sigh and sigh, and she couldn't stand it. At that time, Xinxin's mother came to help for one night, otherwise her mother-in-law didn't seem to be able to survive these two nights. Xinxin's mother saw that it couldn't be done, so she hurriedly invited the confinement sister-in-law to come, and then dealt with the confinement in the past. Also, my mother-in-law is sixty years old, after all, when I saw those two children, she was only fifty years old, and she was an old man. Who called Mu Nan to be the youngest, and to get married so late and have children so late. Thinking of this, Xinxin laughed again, indeed, in the eyes of her parents-in-law, Mu Nan got married at the age of twenty-seven, and it was very late to have a child at the age of thirty. Alas, these old people, when will they be able to change this old concept? What age is it?

Xinxin waited in the room for a while, but she didn't see her mother-in-law come to change her, her lower abdomen hurt for a while, and she knew it was time to go to the toilet. What to do, I had to be cheeky and ask my father-in-law to help. In Mu Nan's hometown, men don't do any housework. Although Mu Nan did not abide by this stereotype, his father-in-law has been like this all his life, so Xinxin is unwilling to open this mouth to the public until it is absolutely necessary. But today, she couldn't wait. So, I came out of the house and wanted to ask my father-in-law to come and see the child for a while, but I didn't find my father-in-law after turning around, and later found that he was busy helping his mother-in-law in the kitchen. Shin Shin not only began to sigh that her father-in-law's days had really changed dramatically. But seeing that the old couple were busy, and seemed to be saying a few private words from time to time, Xinxin really didn't want to bother, but her stomach hurt even more, anyway, the child didn't make trouble, so she went to the bathroom first. As soon as I closed the door of the bathroom, I heard my father-in-law teasing the child, the old man was actually waiting, and he was embarrassed to go in directly, after all, it was his daughter-in-law's room. Even though people are in the kitchen, their ears are always listening to the movement of this house. As soon as Xinxin left, he was in a hurry to go in to see his grandson.

This grandfather really loves his grandson. Xinxin often feels that her grandfather's love for her grandson sometimes even surpasses that of her grandmother. During confinement, the confinement sister-in-law has not dared to take the child out in view of the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, and the father-in-law is embarrassed to often run to the daughter-in-law's room, so he stands outside the door every day, as if it is good to listen to the voice of the little one. Or, just sneak in and check on the kids while Shin Shin is on the toilet. Today, my father-in-law has long been thinking about his grandson, so as soon as Xinxin left, he immediately went in.
