Chapter 350: Visiting the Eldest Grandson
Li Aihua, having been through it herself, understood why Luo Zhiyong had suddenly rushed out, and she smiled to herself.
After a while, she leaned in close to Fang Pingying and whispered, "You must remember, during the postpartum period, you and your husband should abstain from intimacy; otherwise, it could take a toll on your body."
Fang Pingying blushed and scolded Li Aihua with a glance, whispering, "Mom, I know."
Li Aihua laughed, but still admonished her, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's the same for all women who have children. Just take care of yourself."
"Mhm."
The two little ones were full and contentedly fell asleep.
Although Fang Pingying couldn't hold them, she still wanted to be close to the two children, so she let them sleep beside her.
Luo Honglan looked at the two children, grinning foolishly, then turned to Fang Pingying with a pleading look, "Sister-in-law, this month I'll work in the shop with Yu'er in the mornings, and in the afternoons I'll go to Aunt's house to help you take care of the children. Aunt can't manage two by herself."
With children now, the shop couldn't be left unattended.
Fang Pingying smiled and patted Luo Honglan's head, "No need, just come over when you have time. We have Sister-in-law Zhou at home who can help watch the kids."
Luo Honglan reluctantly looked at the two children, pleading with Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, I really love them, let me help you take care of them."
"There's no rush this month," Fang Pingying smiled, saying, "Once I'm through the postpartum period, I'll move back to my own home, and the children will be taken to the shop. You can look after them then."
Luo Honglan felt that this arrangement was acceptable and immediately agreed, "Okay, then I'll keep an eye on them later."
"Pingying, when your postpartum period is over and if you return to your own home, take Sister-in-law Zhou with you; she can lend you a hand," Li Aihua knew Fang Pingying was also concerned about the shop and did not oppose her returning home after the postpartum period, adding, "I still have to work, I can help during the day, but I have to go home in the evening."
Fang Pingying got along well with Sister-in-law Zhou, who was also from her hometown and trustworthy, so she agreed, "Okay, let Sister-in-law Zhou take care of the kids for me. She's a nice person."
"Alright, let's settle on that." Li Aihua thought for a moment, then tentatively spoke to Fang Pingying, "You don't have to worry about Sister-in-law Zhou's salary; I'll pay her."
Fang Pingying understood Li Aihua's feelings, realizing that she felt guilty and didn't know how to make it up to her, so she tried her best to be good to the two children.
During the months Fang Pingying was pregnant and stayed in her home, Li Aihua bought many things for the children, insisting on paying herself because she was most afraid that Fang Pingying would reject her kindness.
Having acknowledged Li Aihua as her mother, Fang Pingying no longer dwelled on past grievances. Since acknowledging her, Li Aihua had indeed treated her very well, letting Fang Pingying truly understand how blissful it is to have a mother.
Not wanting her to feel uneasy, Fang Pingying cheerfully agreed, "Alright, consider it money you spend on your two grandsons."
"Alright then." Li Aihua was very happy, feeling that she could finally do something for her daughter and grandsons.
"Mom, you stayed here last night, you should go home to rest today," Fang Pingying noticed the bloodshot eyes of Li Aihua and discussed with her, "Tonight, I'll ask the doctor. If there's nothing to worry about, I'll be discharged. It's ultimately more convenient at home."
"That's fine, if the doctor says it's okay to be discharged then we'll leave the hospital," Li Aihua thought going home was also a good idea and said, "Then, I'll go and ask Doctor Zhou now. If we can be discharged, I'll have Zhiyong handle the discharge procedures later. We won't stay in the hospital anymore; the air here isn't good, and it's not very good for you three."
"Okay."
Since Fang Pingying had a natural childbirth and was in good health, Doctor Zhou had checked her over and allowed her to be discharged in the afternoon.
However, he still instructed her to properly do her postpartum confinement for a full month to avoid any future health issues.
They returned home to Li Aihua's place once more because Luo Zhiyong could only take care of Fang Pingying for the first few days as he had to return to the military base for work soon. Staying at Li Aihua's home, Fang Pingying and her three children could receive better care, and Luo Zhiyong also preferred having them stay there.
After settling everyone in at home, Fang Pingying's first order of business was to urge Luo Zhiyong to decide on names for the two little ones.
Before the birth, the couple had already prepared a few names but hadn't settled on any, since they didn't know the sex of the babies.
After discussing it, Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying named their son Luo Rui and their daughter Luo Yao.
Simple and easy to remember, and the meanings were also quite good.
The two little ones were not only beautiful but also easy to take care of. They would cry for a bit when they needed to feed or had wet the bed, but other than that, they were very calm and mostly slept after feeding without making much fuss.
This made the adults in the home extremely fond of them, saying they had never seen such well-behaved children before.
Li Aihua was especially fond of them, wishing she could skip work every day just to play with the two little ones.
Before long, Fang Pingying had already completed most of her postpartum confinement period happily at Li Aihua's home.
Fang Pingying's daily routine was just to nurse the children and look after them; Aunt Zhou and Li Aihua took care of everything else.
Fang Pingying was extremely touched and felt fortunate that she had forgiven Li Aihua in the past, allowing both mother and daughter to live peacefully now, as forgiving someone is much better than holding a grudge.
Today, Luo Zhiyong had a day off, and after returning from the military base, he planned to go home to pack some things for Fang Pingying.
After giving birth, Fang Pingying hadn't gained much weight, and her old clothes still fit her. She had already asked Luo Zhiyong to pack some clothes to bring to Li Aihua's place, to save buying new ones.
Now with two children, she also had no time to go shopping.
But just as Luo Zhiyong entered the house, he heard knocking from outside and the sound of women talking. He faintly heard Zhou Yunmei talking, and a bad feeling immediately struck him.
He walked over, opened the door, and when he saw the several people standing outside, Luo Zhiyong's temples throbbed repeatedly.
This time it was not only Zhou Yunmei but the whole family of women had come.
Outside the door besides Zhou Yunmei, there was Luo Honglan leading them, along with Fang Xiu and Luo Cuilan.
As soon as Zhou Yunmei saw Luo Zhiyong, she excitedly exclaimed, "Where's my grandson? I've come to see my grandson."
Luo Zhiyong, feeling exasperated, massaged his temples and said, "The children and Pingying are at my mother-in-law's house."
"Then you should quickly take me to see them," Zhou Yunmei barged in, putting down her things, and began to scold Luo Zhiyong, "You two are really too much. Having a baby and not even telling me. If I hadn't guessed that Pingying was due this month and decided to come over to see, I wouldn't have known that you had children." (To be continued.
