Chapter 402 Jiang Ziqiang's Diligence
Before, there were only Shen Shuyu, Gu Jiandong and Bai Luobo at home. When Gu Jiandong went out for training and didn't come back, there were only Shen Shuyu and Bai Luobo at home, and the house was cold and deserted.
Now there is a baby in the family, and grandparents, Xiaoqiu and second aunt are all at home and lively every day. Shen Shuyu likes this kind of family atmosphere.
With so many people taking care of her at home, Shen Shuyu felt very comfortable during her confinement period. Apart from breastfeeding, she didn't need to take care of the baby.
When the child cries at night, Gu Jiandong is always the first one to get up and patiently coax the child. He is now better at taking care of children than Shen Shuyu.
It is winter now. Shen Shuyu doesn't feel stuffy while staying in the house every day to recuperate after giving birth, and her hair doesn't feel itchy even if she doesn't wash it.
If this happened during the summer confinement period, Shen Shuyu would not be able to bear not washing her hair or taking a bath for a month.
With her grandparents around, Shen Shuyu felt that time passed very quickly, and before she knew it, she was out of confinement.
She has her own spiritual spring water, so her body recovers faster than others. After sitting for half a month, she feels fully recovered. There is no problem for her to go out for a walk, but her grandmother won't let her go out for some fresh air.
Shen Shuyu lay in bed for a whole month, and her back and waist ached from it.
Xiaoze is one month old, and the child really changes every day. The older he gets, the more Shen Shuyu finds that the baby looks like Gu Jiandong. The father and son are cut from the same mold. It has nothing to do with her as a mother. She is just a product promoter.
Shen Shuyu has realized how close the generation is. Her grandparents fight to hold the child all day long, unwilling to let go. She and Gu Jiandong don't have to take care of the child at all.
Aunt Shen said to her, "Your grandparents love children so much. If you go home and can't see your children, I don't know how much they will miss them."
"Then we won't let grandpa and grandma go back."
"It's okay to let your grandparents stay here for a while, but if you let them stay here forever, they won't be able to stay here.
No matter how good this is, the old people still prefer to be in the village.”
"What about Second Aunt? Does Second Aunt prefer here or at home?"
"They say that no place is worse than your own. Of course I like being at home. Second Aunt will come to help you take care of the children. When you don't need Second Aunt anymore, Second Aunt will pack up and go home immediately."
"Xiaoqiu, bring the diaper over here." Old Mrs. Shen shouted from inside the house.
Shen Qiu is not at home. Jiang Ziqiang came to look for her just now, but this girl ran out happily without even putting on her coat.
Shen Shuyu took the diaper into the room, "Mother, Xiaoqiu is out."
"Did Ziqiang come to see her again?"
"Here I am, holding the chestnuts that Xiaoqiu likes to eat."
While Shen Shuyu was in confinement after giving birth, Shen Qiu went fishing with Jiang Ziqiang almost every day. When they saw that the fish were almost eaten, Jiang Ziqiang came over and went to the river with Shen Qiu.
Jiang Ziqiang had never pursued any girls. He was interested in Shen Qiu, but he didn't know how to express it, so he just kept taking her fishing.
Shen Qiu was only thinking about catching a few more fish for her elder sister and bringing them home so that she could drink fish soup to nourish her body.
She didn't notice any difference in Jiang Ziqiang's treatment of her. She just knew that Brother Jiang was a good person and took her out fishing every day.
"Brother Jiang, you are so old and so outstanding, why don't you get married?"
Jiang Ziqiang was hurt when the girl said he was old. But when he heard the last sentence, he smiled again. "Do you think Brother Jiang is good?"
"Of course. Although you are a little older, you are a good person. You are tall and handsome, and you have such a promising future. If you were in our Shenjiaba Brigade, you would be very popular, and the aunts and grandmothers would all rush to introduce girls to you.
Brother Jiang, I have a colleague who is a nice person with a good personality. She has always wanted to find a military comrade. How about I introduce you to someone?"
Jiang Ziqiang: "..."
"Let's talk later. Let's go fishing first."
Shen Qiu didn't even wear her elder sister's military coat when she came out. Jiang Ziqiang gave her his military coat, but Shen Qiu didn't want to wear it. "Brother Jiang, why don't you put on your military coat? I'm not cold."
It would be unacceptable if Brother Jiang caught a cold because I gave her the military coat.
"I'm not cold, you wear some clothes. I usually don't wear any clothes during training in this kind of weather."
It was just a piece of clothing, and Shen Qiu couldn't push it around. If she scared the fish away, her elder sister would have no fish soup to drink.
The two stayed outside for most of the day and caught half a bucket of fish before coming back.
"Ziqiang, come home for dinner later." When Old Mrs. Shen saw the fish, she couldn't stop smiling.
Jiang Ziqiang was not polite, "Then I'll go home, change my clothes, and come over to help with the cooking."
Jiang Ziqiang and Shen Qiu went fishing every day, and Shen Shuyu ate fish almost every day. She drank too much fish soup, and no matter how delicious it was, Shen Shuyu couldn't drink it anymore.
His wife was tired of drinking fish soup. After dinner, Gu Jiandong and Jiang Ziqiang were picking vegetables in the yard. "We have enough fish at home. Don't go fishing tomorrow. We can't finish it."
"You can stock up more and drink fish soup to replenish your body." If he doesn't fish anymore, what excuse can he find to get Shen Qiu out? They have been brothers for so many years, and this guy is still trying to sabotage them.
"It's so cold, who would take a girl fishing every day to pursue her? Can't you take her to the movies or visit the supply and marketing cooperative?
Xiaoqiu hasn't figured it out yet, I've told you in advance, if Xiaoqiu isn't interested in you, I'm on her side."
"know."
Jiang Ziqiang touched his face, "Do you think I'm old?"
Gu Jiandong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Old."
Jiang Ziqiang: "..."
"Xiao Qiu said twice today that I'm old. I heard that applying vanishing cream can make your skin more tender. How about I go buy two bottles?"
"Go ahead. If Xiaoqiu knew you were wearing lotion, she would be the first to laugh at you."
There are indeed a lot of fish at home. They bring back half a bucket every day when they go out. It’s winter now, so they can just leave them outside to freeze. “Xiao Qiu, you don’t need to go fishing tomorrow. You can’t eat so many fish.”
"That's fine. I don't want to go out either. I want to stay home and play with Xiaoze."
When not fishing, Shen Qiu basically stays at home playing with her little nephew every day. Jiang Ziqiang doesn't know what excuse to find to ask her out.
I can only use it as an excuse to find good brothers to come to their yard and play with the children with Shen Qiu.
They have made no progress at all.
Jiang Ziqiang is a man of discretion. Shen Qiu hasn't figured it out, so Shen Shuyu and the others are planning to interfere.
Shen Shuyu has finished her confinement, and Gu Jiandong has to start getting busy, leaving home early and coming back late every day.
He would get up at night to look after the child. Shen Shuyu felt sorry for him and wanted him to sleep well at night. If the child cried, she would get up to comfort him, but every time Gu Jiandong would move very quickly. When Shen Shuyu just got up, the child was already in his arms.
He is a really responsible father, while Shen Shuyu, as a mother, is like a hands-off boss.
"Gu Jiandong, you have to get up early tomorrow morning, give the child to me."
"No, you go to sleep. Xiaoze is easy to coax. He will fall asleep after I hold him for a while."
