Chapter 242: Chapter 242 – Buried in the Heart_1
Zhou Mei’s long-standing childlessness was tied to her postnatal confinement period as well as her own anxieties.
“I can tell you’re looking a bit pale. I brought some red dates from home. Take some and eat them later, they’ll replenish your Qi and blood.” Meng Yunhan figured out that she probably hadn’t taken care of herself well enough during her confinement period.
If she has another child now and properly goes through her confinement period, her health might just bounce back; otherwise, when she gets older, she may fall ill with postnatal disorders.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mei’s eyes instantly welled up with tears, “Little sister, I….”
There were some things she just didn’t want to discuss with her husband.
Such circumstances remained buried deep in her heart.
“Mommy, why are you crying? Did Auntie upset you?” Little Apple instantly asked as she noticed her mother crying.
“Mommy just got something in her eye from the wind. Your Auntie didn’t upset me. Now apologize to your Auntie,” Zhou Mei softly explained to her daughter, instructing her to apologize.
Little Apple sincerely apologized to Meng Yunhan, “Auntie, I’m sorry, I just saw my Mom crying.”
Meng Yunhan reached out to pat her head, “Auntie is not mad at you. You’re a good girl.”
Such a young kid being so considerate – it must be a result of her surroundings.
As it approached lunchtime, Zhou Mei got ready to leave, and Meng Yunhan gave her a large bag of red dates, “Sister-in-law, eat a few every day.”
Being a woman is hard, having to endure a few days of bleeding each month.
She remembers, sometimes, when a woman can’t conceive, the in-laws would insult her, likening her to a hen that can’t lay eggs, not realizing that conceiving a child isn’t only the woman’s responsibility, but the man’s too.
As the night fell, Gu the Party Representative came to the door.
“Little sisters, Xiaoyun, lighten up! You guys aren’t going to bed yet, are you?”
In the downtime, Meng Yunhan was always knitting sweaters, for Little Huzi, for Yun Hao.
“Take him away.” Yun Hao directly handed their son Little Huzi to Gu, along with some diapers and a bowl of porridge.
It had been a long time since Gu had held such a soft little child, thus was quite reserved in his movements, fearing he would drop the baby.
Upon seeing Little Huzi being disdained, Gu sighed, wanting to tell Little Huzi: “You are being shunned by your own father.”
By the time Gu brought Little Huzi back, Zhou Mei had already prepared everything.
Knowing that her baby brother was going to sleep next to her that night, Little Apple was thrilled. She was still wide awake, refusing to sleep even though it was late.
“Little Huzi, Little Huzi….”
“Lower your voice, don’t wake up Little Huzi, or he’ll chant you awake.” Even as Zhou Mei reminded her daughter, she knew Little Huzi rarely cried and wasn’t much of a worry.
She had held Little Huzi quite a few times. Thıs content belongs to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Little Apple quieted down, staring at Little Huzi.
Even though Little Huzi was in a different place, he still slept soundly.
“Here are the diapers, here is the porridge, warm it up when Little Huzi gets hungry and feed him.”
When Little Apple fell asleep, the couple began whispering to each other.
“You wouldn’t believe it, when I went to pick up Little Huzi, I noticed the way Xiaoyun was shunning him. Even as an outsider, I couldn’t bear to watch.”
Zhou Mei was familiar with Yun Hao, she could recall that Yun Hao always had the same expression on his face, no matter when she saw him.
Gu whispered something in Zhou Mei’s ear.
Her face reddened from embarrassment, and she pulled the blanket over her head.
Little Huzi was usually left at Gu’s home.
Little Apple was the happiest one of all. During the day, she could go to her aunt’s place and eat delicious cakes, and at night, she could sleep with Little Huzi.
