Letters were exchanged between the capital and Mingzhou, and the family's longing for Cui Weizhen's inability to return to the capital was relieved a little. Seeing that the date of giving birth was getting closer, Ye Zhenzhen was busy arranging the production matters.
Aunt Cui and Ye Mu advised her: "Don't worry, take good care of the fetus, go for a walk on weekdays, and it will be easier for you to give birth in the future. Just leave these chores to us. We have experience before, so just let the servants do it."
.”
They all know that Ye Zhenzhen is very particular about whether it is the delivery room or all the supplies must be washed cleanly. Even Po Wen is an acquaintance of Po Po Tang. She has been living in the uncle's house these days, so they are prepared to prevent her from giving birth early.
Although Ye Zhenzhen was pregnant in ten months and was still less than a month old, she had to be prepared and give birth a month or two ahead of schedule. She had to be fully prepared.
Ye Zhenzhen knew that her mother-in-law and mother-in-law could take care of everything, but she still couldn't help but want to worry: "Where's the wet nurse? Have you invited her?"
"Don't worry, we're ready."
Aunt Cui said: "We didn't invite outsiders this time. They are all born to our Cui family, and they are in the lactation period. You also know that one is the Hu family of the Li Rong family, and the other is the Qian family of the Zhou Ming family. They are in good health.
, the milk supply is sufficient, and all the boys in the family are fed well, so it is the most suitable to be the wet nurse for our little granddaughter."
Li Rong and Zhou Ming are the stewards of the Cui Mansion, and their daughter-in-law Ye Zhenzhen has also met her. She is indeed good-looking, with good temperament and abilities. She would be a good nanny.
The child's nanny must be chosen well. For example, the nanny Zhang and Xu are the top nannies around Cui Zhiduan. They have to help with everything around him, big and small. If they are not capable enough,
, I will not be able to take good care of my children in the future.
Since Aunt Cui can choose between Hu and Qian, it means that there is no problem with their abilities.
Ye Zhenzhen nodded with confidence: "The person chosen by mother is naturally good. But the year is approaching and I am about to give birth. I can't help much with family matters, and I have to make mother tired."
Isn't it? Right now, Aunt Cui is worried about her son, has to worry about her daughter-in-law, and has to take care of the New Year matters, and her chin is so tired.
However, Aunt Cui didn't care too much. She seemed to be in good spirits and waved her hand: "I have servants to help me with it. Just follow the usual routine of previous years. It's not considered tiring."
But she looked at her mother-in-law next to her: "Mother-in-law, how are your family's arrangements for the New Year? You have been working hard these past few months to take care of Zhen'er in my uncle's house, and you have no time to take care of things at home. I am really uneasy.
ah."
The wound on Ye's mother's knee has healed completely, without even leaving a scar. Her main task for the past half month has been to supervise and accompany her daughter on walks.
It's not that Ye Zhenzhen doesn't want to go out, it's that her belly is big now, her legs are swollen, and it's extremely difficult to walk, so she occasionally loses her temper and doesn't want to go out. At this time, only the words of her mother, Ye Zhenzhen, can help and she can supervise her.
No one can walk for a day without touching the ground.
Now she smiled without any burden and said: "Don't worry, our Ye family is a small family. It's easy to celebrate the New Year. The new year's goods have been prepared by the child's father and the boy at home. I can stay at home and take care of Zhen'er with peace of mind."
That's it. It's not easy for you, my mother-in-law, and I still need to take more care of Zhen'er."
Aunt Cui was filled with emotion. Although the Ye family was from a lower level, her father-in-law and mother-in-law really had nothing to say. Although they didn’t have much knowledge or knowledge, they were simple and reasonable people. They didn’t have so many messy things. I don’t know how worry-free they were.
Woolen cloth.
As the weather gets colder and the New Year approaches, Ye Zhenzhen becomes less and less fond of moving.
Ye's mother is also worried that her daughter will catch the cold from walking outside. Recently, she just lets her walk around the house a few times. The house is warm. Ye Zhenzhen always feels sleepy, but she can't fall asleep, so she can only lean on the soft couch half-awake.
On the bed, my mind was in a mess, thinking about some random things.
Probably thinking that she was asleep, Cui Zhiduan lowered his voice and whispered to his grandmother: "Grandma, can't my father come back to celebrate the New Year?"
Ye's mother has also been thinking about this matter recently, but she doesn't dare to say a word to her biological mother and daughter, for fear that they will be sad after hearing it.
When her grandson asked about it, she felt a little embarrassed. There were only more than ten days before the New Year's Eve, and her eldest son-in-law hadn't come back yet. She must have really missed it.
However, she felt sorry for her eldest grandson and couldn't bear his sadness, so she coaxed: "Isn't there still more than ten days? Maybe your father is on his way back."
Cui Zhiduan really believed it, and secretly counted the days on his fingers. Ye Zhenzhen looked sad, but did not point out anything. She could only watch her son becoming more and more disappointed and depressed day by day. When the house hung up red lanterns and put up window grilles,
After even pasting up the couplets, Cui Zhiduan finally couldn't help but blush.
Ye's mother was now anxious. She should not have given hope to her child in the first place, otherwise she would not have been disappointed. She tried her best but could not coax her eldest grandson well.
Cui Zhiduan choked and said: "Dad promised me last year that he would cut window grilles and paste couplets with us every year. This year he broke the promise, leaving me alone to cut window grilles."
Ye Zhenzhen is pregnant and cannot use scissors.
Mother Ye quickly coaxed him: "Your father is a high-ranking official in the court, and he is responsible for major things that benefit the people. This year's special circumstances prevent him from coming back to celebrate the New Year with you. I will definitely be able to accompany you next year."
Cui Zhiduan still looked languid and could not be happy, but in front of Ye Zhenzhen, he put away his sadness and chatted and walked with his mother as if nothing had happened. However, with his immature acting skills, he had already shown the clues.
Ye Zhenzhen was so distressed that she secretly shed tears, but it was of no avail because Cui Weizhen's letter had been sent back, clearly stating that she could not return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.
The imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief. As the imperial envoy, he had to do a good job in post-disaster reconstruction work. He had no chance to return to Beijing to spend the New Year with his relatives. Not only him, but everyone including Guo Jing could not return to Beijing.
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both sides, and this time it is really reflected to the fullest.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't see her son being unhappy, so she kept thinking of ways to cheer him up. From time to time, she would let him listen to his sister's movements in her mother's belly, and make up stories for her with him. After such a distraction, his
My mood gradually improved, at least I no longer hide and cry secretly.
Everyone feels sorry for the sensible child. The way a five-year-old child forces a smile on his face is unbearable for anyone who sees it.
Now that he had shifted his attention, not only Ye Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, but Aunt Cui and Ye Mu also felt relieved.
