(2) New life is born
Shen Rumeng and Yao Zhiwen's husband and wife's new home life began like this, without the care of their parents and brothers and sisters, everything had to be solved by the little couple themselves, and the housework and trivial matters in life suddenly became more, which really made the two of them busy for a while!
Because of the nature of Shen Mengru's work, she couldn't go home at noon, so she would cook a little more food every morning, just so that Yao Zhiwen, who went home at noon, could have a ready-made meal to eat. For Yao Zhiwen, who doesn't know anything about cooking, the problem of cooking is really a very serious problem, but every time he sees his wife busy in the kitchen with a big belly, he really can't bear to just look at it like this and wait for it to be ready-made! So the work of chopping wood, lighting fire, pressurizing water, and boiling water was all covered by him alone, and in addition to cooking at home, the capable Yao Zhiwen would also take the initiative to do it.
Because in those days, there was no running water and gas, and you had to make a fire once you cooked, which was really troublesome and tiring! Fortunately, Yao Zhiwen bought a big water tank, and there is a pressurized water well in the house, so he doesn't have to go to any well to carry water, and every day Yao Zhiwen will fill the water tank to the full, and he will immediately refill the water tank every time he uses it, so that his wife will not be anxious because there is no water. Yao Zhiwen also got up early every day before his wife cooked the fires on the two stoves at home, and never let his wife worry about cooking because she was in a hurry. During the lunch break, Yao Zhiwen would always clean up the house after he went home for lunch, and even after getting off work at night, he would always go directly to the vegetable market to buy fresh food and go home, and never let his wife worry about buying vegetables.
As a wife, Shen Mengru is the same, in addition to cooking family meals every day, she will also bring a change of clothes to the unit every day at work, use the lunch break to wash clothes with her colleagues, and then fold all the dried clothes with those female colleagues when she gets off work. Although her husband's oil-stained overalls are thick and heavy and very difficult to clean, with the power of love, even if she suffers from physical exertion over and over again every day, she doesn't feel that this laundry work is tiring when she talks and laughs with several female colleagues.
Yao Zhiwen doesn't say so many sweet words, he will only use actions to care for and take care of his wife, and although Shen Rumeng is very arrogant, she also feels the love from her husband in these bits and pieces, and she also works hard every day for their small family. In this way, the young couple looked forward to the birth of their first child together in the deep affection for each other, in the busy and fulfilling days and nights.
Although Yao Zhiwen and Shen Rumeng's neighbors are all married couples in Shen Rumeng's unit, none of them have given birth to children, and they are still young people with no experience as parents. Although everyone spends every day in the same hustle and bustle, but on weekdays, there will always be a stumbling quarrel between these neighbors and husbands and wives, so a harmonious and respectful relationship like Shen Rumeng and his wife, such a happy smile on their faces all day long, really makes everyone feel a little envious!
The happy life of the little couple in the new home passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Shen Rumeng was about to give birth, and after she asked for leave from the unit, she started to give birth at home with peace of mind. Although his wife is about to give birth, Yao Zhiwen is very worried about letting her stay at home alone, but his life is still busy every day, it is really a unit and family that keeps running, and life and work are constantly busy, even if he wants to be by his wife's side, it is impossible to do it!
Because Shen Rumeng's current physical condition has become very bulky and not so easy, no matter what she does, she will feel a little powerless, but she feels that she has finally gotten a vacation when she is focused on her husband, so she should seize the time to work more while the child is not yet born. So Shen Rumeng works hard every day to make herself do as much as she can, and she very much hopes to share a little for her husband, and she can share a little bit as much as possible. It's just that such days didn't last long, and the little angel who had been waiting for them for a long time was anxious to meet them.
On the night of this day, Shen Rumeng, who was asleep, was suddenly awakened by the pain coming from her stomach, and she was so frightened that as soon as she opened her eyes, she quickly woke up her husband, who was sleeping sweetly.
Yao Zhiwen, who was suddenly woken up, heard that his wife said that he was about to give birth, he immediately sat up from the bed, and then hurriedly ran out of the house after casually putting on a piece of clothing, and quickly rode a bicycle to call all the people in the Yao family. As soon as the Yao family arrived at the home of the young couple, they carefully helped Shen Rumeng to the wooden two-wheeled cart that had been prepared in advance, and then they hurried all the way to the only local general hospital.
Although it was the first child, Shen Rumeng gave birth very quickly, and was just pushed into the delivery room by her in-laws' family for less than an hour, Yao Zhiwen's third sister Yao Fanghua, who was an apprentice in the gynecology department not long after graduation, ran out of the delivery room happily and announced loudly to the Yao family: "Birth, birth!" My second sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, so beautiful! ”
Because the eldest son of the Yao family just gave birth to a son last year, the second elder of the Yao family had an eldest grandson who inherited the incense, and this time the second son gave birth to a daughter, so that the second elder of the Yao family had both a grandson and a granddaughter.
Mother-in-law Li Lan looked at her wife and smiled happily and said, "Old Yao, now we have our grandsons and granddaughters, but it's really perfect!" ”
Father-in-law Yao Hai also happily looked at his wife and nodded again and again, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he couldn't stop saying vigorously: "Good, good, good!" ”
Although Yao Zhiwen was also very excited like his parents, he was still very worried and asked his third sister, "How is your second sister-in-law?" Adults and children are all right, right? ”
Yao Fanghua was afraid that the second brother would be worried, so he explained with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!" Wait a while for my second sister-in-law and baby to be transferred to the ward, second brother, don't worry about it! ”
The third sister's words were like a reassuring pill, Yao Zhiwen finally felt a lot more relieved after hearing this, and everyone in the Yao family was no longer so worried about Shen Rumeng's mother and daughter.
After Yao Fanghua finished reporting the good news to her family, she hurriedly returned to the delivery room to do the rest of her work, and everyone in the Yao family waited at the door of the delivery room for a while, and finally waited for her to open the door of the delivery room again. Yao Fanghua asked everyone to carry Shen Rumeng and the baby to a ward, and then she continued to work with her work in a hurry.
At this moment, Shen Rumeng, who had just finished giving birth, looked a little pale and tired, but she still smiled and whispered to her in-laws that they didn't have to worry about themselves. The little baby beside Shen Rumeng has been tightly closing his eyes, and the little guy is lying there quietly as if no one is asleep, such a delicate and tender little life, so that everyone in the Yao family feels very loved. No one dared to say a word out loud, and they all gathered around the mother and son lightly, looking at this little beauty who had just come into the world, everyone was immersed in the infinite joy brought by the birth of a new life.
At this happy time, Shen Rumeng's mother's family also hurried to the hospital to visit Shen Rumeng's mother and daughter. Among them are Shen Rumeng's younger sister Shen Rumei, two younger brothers Shen Feiyang and Shen Jingyang, as well as Shen Rumeng's father Shen Xiang and mother Zheng Rong.
As soon as the Yao and Shen families met, they happily whispered greetings to each other, and then Yao Zhiwen hurriedly walked to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and briefly described the process of Shen Rumeng's birth to the two elders. After the second elder of the Shen family listened to the explanation of the eldest son-in-law, they had been nervous and worried before they came, and now they could finally relax.
Old man Yao saw that his second son had already appeased his in-laws, so he walked to his father-in-law's side and said a few words, and then he took out the name of the baby and wrote it on the paper and announced it to everyone. Of course, the most important thing is that Mr. Yao wants to ask for the opinion of his father-in-law, and then he can officially set a name for his granddaughter, after all, the baby is also the granddaughter of his father-in-law!
Mr. Yao named his granddaughter Yao Jingshu, hoping that the baby could grow up to become a quiet, elegant, dignified and virtuous woman. After hearing this, the Yao and Shen families felt that the name was very good, which was also the expectation of the old man Shen for his granddaughter, so the name of Yao Zhiwen and Shen Rumeng's eldest daughter was decided in the praise of the Yao and Shen families.
After a few hours of rest, Shen Rumeng's mental state became much better, so under the support of relatives like stars holding the moon, Shen Rumeng's mother and daughter returned to their own small home.
Because women in the north have a tradition of confinement after giving birth, and the workplace will also give the mother a 3-month maternity leave, so Shen Rumeng started her 3-month maternity leave life from this day.
There will always be a lot of misunderstandings and first-time experiences for new mothers and first-time children, not to mention new fathers, who are also confused and have no clue how to take care of their children. Fortunately, the old mother-in-law Li Lan and her mother-in-law Zheng Rong will take turns to come to their small home to take care of Shen Rumeng and Xiao Jingshu, and Shen Rumeng also has plenty of breast milk, so she quickly passed the confinement life without going to the kang for a month.
Because Li Lan and Zheng Rong are both people with jobs, and both of them have endless work at home, and the sensible Shen Rumeng also feels that she has recovered very well and should be able to cope with it, so she no longer wants to continue to trouble her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, who are already very hard. As soon as the confinement was over, Shen Rumeng immediately politely declined the help of the two mothers, and then she began to spend the rest of her maternity leave at home alone with the child.
