Su Jingwan looked suspiciously at the baby in the crib, and then at Li Su. “Mum, is this really my younger brother? How can he be so ugly?”
Li Su smiled and moved her lower body. She was unable to speak due to pain. Although she gave birth naturally, she also had a side cut and had a few stitches, so it hurt when strain was applied to it.
Su Jingwan immediately abandoned her younger brother. “Mum, are you in pain?”
Li Su slowly shook her head. “Mum is fine. You may have to work hard these days. Auntie has to take care of mum and younger brother in the hospital. If you are alone at home, your mother is not at ease. You will be wronged for a few days.”
“It’s not hard and I don’t feel wronged. I like being with mum and younger brother.” Su Jingwan smiled. “Mum, we had a math test today and I got a 100%!”
Li Su smiled and said, “Really? That’s great. What kind of reward does Jingwan want?”
“Mum, can I give my younger brother a name?” Su Jingwan thought about it and asked.
“Do you want to name your younger brother? Well, what do you want to name your younger brother?” Li Su asked. In fact, Li Su had already thought of a name, but since Su Jingwan spoke up, Li Su was willing to accept her opinion as long as the name was not outrageous.
“Let’s make it simple! Otherwise, my younger brother will cry when he learns to write his name. I have a classmate named Chenyang Xinyun1, and every time she writes her name in the exam, she will cry!” Su Jingwan said. In fact, her name was also difficult to write2, but she was very smart. She was worried that her younger brother may not be so smart, and if his name was too complicated, he would definitely cry.
“Chenyang Xinyun? So complicated. No wonder she cries.” Li Su could not laugh or cry. “Then give your younger brother a simpler name!”
“My younger brother’s name is Su Jing’an3, okay? My name is Su Jingwan, and my younger brother’s name is Su Jingan. You can tell that we are family at a glance!” Su Jingwan wanted to use all means to prove that they were a family.
“Su Jing’an? It’s a good name, so let’s call him this.” Li Su also thought it was a good name. “Auntie went to the cafeteria to get dinner. You should do your homework first and then you can eat when the food comes.”
Su Jingwan was very happy when she saw that her mother had accepted her opinion. She immediately took out her schoolbag and sat down on the stool to do her homework.
The mother of the mother in the bed next to Li Su saw this and praised Li Su. “Your daughter is so sensible, unlike my granddaughter. When her mother gave birth to a second child, she was so angry. No matter how they tried to persuade her, she would not come to the hospital to see her mother and younger brother.” She then took some snacks. “Little girl, this is for you.”
Su Jingwan shook her head and said, “Thank you, grandma, but I’m not hungry.”
When the other party saw this, she put the snacks on the cabinet beside Li Su’s bed. “The first few years are more difficult, but it will be fine in the future. You have both a son and a daughter, so your luck is pretty good!”
Li Su nodded. “I know. Thank you, auntie.”
As she was talking, Li Su’s leader and colleagues came with flowers and supplements. They looked at the children, and said a few words to Li Su before finally handing over a thick red envelope. “This is a little something from the leader of the unit and your colleagues. Accept it and take good care of yourself. Take care of yourself and your children. If you have any difficulties, just say something.”
Li Su was grateful. “Thank you, leader. Thank you, everyone.”
After a few words of greeting, most of them left. Only a few colleagues who had a good relationship with Li Su stayed behind. “We discussed things. A few of us will work shifts and the hospital will take care of you after we get off work every day until you go home. Let Fang Ru take care of your Jingwan these few days! She is alone. Her boyfriend is away and she is bored. ”
“Thank you, but it’s alright. Aunt Wang is here.” Li Su declined.
“Why are you being polite to us! It’s settled. I’ll come tonight. You guys go back first!” Yang Hong said.
The rest of the people stood up. “Then let’s go back first. We’ll come tomorrow after getting off work.”
“Jingwan, go back with Aunt Fang Ru!”
“I’m not going anywhere. I want to watch over my younger brother!” When the others came in, Su Jingwan obediently stood aside. When they left, she sat down on the bench and continued to do her homework.
“Forget it. Let her stay here! She has never left me since she was a child, so she is reluctant to part,” Li Su said.
They looked at each other, smiled, and then left.
Yang Hong made a phone call and asked her husband to bring her toiletries. She then took a thermos flask. “This is the chicken soup I asked my mother-in-law to stew for you. It has been stewed for several hours and the oil has been skimmed off. You can try it.”
Li Su called Su Jingwan over to drink chicken soup.
Yang Hong rolled her eyes angrily. “Eat it yourself first and I’ll serve it to her.”
Su Jingwan shook her head. “I don’t want to eat. Give it to mum! Mum needs to replenish her body.”
Yang Hong glanced at her approvingly. “She is a sensible and good child. There is plenty of soup. You can drink it too.” She was also an easy-going child.
At this time, Aunt Zhao came to pack the meals and they had dinner. In the evening, Aunt Zhao fed the baby well and changed the diapers. After the baby fell asleep, she fell asleep herself. Su Jingwan snuggled up next to Li Su and fell asleep. Li Su looked at the time and said, “It’s getting late. You should go back quickly. There’s nothing to do here.”
“There’s no hurry. I called Old Wang to pick me up at 11:30. There is still half an hour, so let’s chat.” Yang Hong said softly.
Li Su knew what Yang Hong was going to say. She glanced at Su Jingwan, who was snuggling close to her. She realised that she was pretending to sleep, so she smiled helplessly.
“Everything is fine, but your heart is too soft,” Yang Hong glanced at her and said softly.
“Older sister, you have also seen that Jingwan is a good child. Work harder now, and it will get better in the future,” Li Su said.
“I hope!” Yang Hong said. “I hope this child will not let you down in the future.”
“My Jingwan is a good child!” Li Su repeated.
“Okay, I know you want to protect the child. I won’t say anything more. If you need anything in the future, just tell us. We can help. We will try our best to help.” Yang Hong patted Li Su’s hand.
After a while, Yang Hong’s cell phone rang. She pressed it off and stood up. “I should go. You should rest as well!”
Li Su nodded and watched her leave.
Li Su was also a little sleepy, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After Li Su fell asleep, Su Jingwan in her arms quietly got up. She pulled her younger brother’s cot to her side, sat there without blinking, and guarded her younger brother.
When the aunt who was next to the bed saw her, she turned over and got up. She patted Su Jingwan on the shoulder, and whispered, “Little girl, why are you still not sleeping?”
“I want to guard my younger brother. I’m afraid that, while we are all asleep. and someone will come in and take my younger brother away!” Su Jingwan said seriously.
“What a good child! Don’t worry. Grandma will lock the door, so no bad guys will come in. You should go to bed quickly or you won’t have enough energy for school tomorrow.”
Then, she really went to lock the door. She then pulled a chair to lock the door.
Only then did Su Jingwan feel relieved. She lay down again and fell asleep.
In a few days, Su Jingwan was unanimously praised by other family members. They all said that this little girl was very sensible and obedient. Some aunts also warned Li Su not to prioritise sons over daughters.
Li Su didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Four days later, Li Su was discharged from the hospital. After returning home, Li Su relaxed a lot. She recovered well after giving birth. The house was clean and she could rest well.
Aunt Zhao was good at everything except that she didn’t know how to cook. She was also very careful in taking care of the children. She loved Su Jingwan very much, treating her like her own granddaughter.
Later, the two became acquainted with each other and gossip was commonplace. Aunt Zhao told Li Su that her son came out to the couple when he was in college. The old couple cried and quarreled, went on hunger strike, exhausted all methods, and said all kinds of cruel words, but their son refused to let go.
In the end, her son suffered from depression and tried to commit suicide by cutting his wrists. Aunt Zhao finally came to her senses and realised that if she continued to force her things, she would have no son. Therefore, she chose to stand on her son’s side and support him.
But her husband didn’t understand her and was ashamed of such a son. Finally, the two divorced. Aunt Zhao followed her son, but she had nothing to do at home, so she came out to find something to do.
Aunt Zhao hugged her with a satisfied smile. “My son wants to adopt a child and let me have the experience of being a grandmother. I thought about how children can’t do without a mother. I am old and only know how to spoil children. This would be irresponsible to children, so I didn’t agree. So, I just went out to find something to do. It didn’t matter if you have more money or less money. It is best to help take care of the children. ”
Li Su smiled and said, “Then how is your son now?”
Aunt Zhao restrained her smile and sighed. “It’s actually not easy for him. He’s under a lot of pressure at work and his relationship is not going well. He has a boyfriend and they have a good relationship, but the other party’s parents don’t agree. The two of them can only sneak around, and I don’t know the end result will be. Alas, why bother thinking about it? The children have grown up and have their own ideas. As parents, we should respect their choices. Why force them to live according to our own ideas? I only understood this when I saw my son lying in a pool of blood. Compared with losing him, him liking a man is really nothing!”
Li Su smiled and said, “Auntie, it will get better in the future.”
Aunt Zhao looked at Li Su and smiled. “Yes, it will get better in the future. There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. Everything will be fine.”
Only then did Li Su understand that this was her aunt trying to comfort herself with her own experience. She lowered her head and smiled.
Aunt Zhao glanced at her, worried. She feared that she would feel troubled. At first, she just felt sorry for Li Su, a woman with two children. It was not easy. Later, when cleaning, she accidentally saw Su Jingwan’s adoption certificate and then realised that Su Jingwan was not Li Su’s biological child. In fact, she also understood that in such a situation as the Su family, it was really hard to raise two children. She really loved the little girl and couldn’t help but think about her. That’s why she said, “Maybe I am talking too much. Jingwan is really a good child. You will have good news in the future!”
Li Su smiled helplessly. This girl was really charming. Why was she so attractive!
“Auntie, don’t worry. I understand.” In fact, with Li Su’s previous temper, she was too lazy to explain this. But, after all her transmigrations, her mentality became more peaceful. She understood Aunt Zhao’s good intentions, so she was willing to take the time to explain things.
Aunt Zhao smiled. “I can see that you are also a good girl. Good people are rewarded. Don’t worry! In the future, you will enjoy happiness!”
“Thanks for your blessing.” Li Su said with a smile.
