Chapter 147 Taking 3 Children
Chapter 147 Taking 3 Children
After the guests left one after another, Shang's mother and Gao Jianguo came to see the child, and Shang Guokang took the opportunity to escape.
"Wife, are you tired?" Gao Jianguo asked his wife with concern.
"I'm not tired." She just sits inside the house, chatting with people who come to see the children, and saying thank you and returning a red egg when someone gives her a gift.
Aside from talking a lot, I'm not very tired.
"You and Mom rest for a while, I'll go return the borrowed table." Gao Jianguo looked at his mother-in-law gratefully.
"Alright, Mother will rest for a while. Have Xiao Kang go with you to return the table later." As Shang's mother lay on the kang, her back began to crack.
"I understand, Mother." After Gao Jianguo left, Shang's mother fell asleep shortly afterward.
She was really exhausted. She woke up very early in the morning to prepare breakfast for the family, make little clothes for the children, and receive people from the village.
Shang Yanfang looked at her mother with heartache, then at the three culprits lying on the bed.
"You three have made Grandma work so hard to take care of you, so you must treat Grandma better in the future." Shang Yanfang muttered to the babies like she was chanting a mantra.
When Gao Jianguo returned after returning the table, he saw his wife and child getting along very harmoniously. A gratified smile appeared on his face.
"Honey, you must be tired too! You rest for a while, I'll take care of the kids."
"Hmm~ Honey, you're back." Shang Yanfang only noticed Gao Jianguo when he spoke.
"Okay, you can take a nap." Gao Jianguo sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) with affection and hugged his wife.
"Honey, let's leave all three kids in our room tonight! Mom probably hasn't been sleeping well these past few nights," Shang Yanfang suggested, looking at the three babies.
“Sure.” Gao Jianguo would never refuse anything Shang Yanfang said, especially not this matter.
"Honey, I haven't told you yet, my space has been upgraded! I can buy things in there now. We won't have to worry about the kids wetting the bed when we put diapers on them at night." Shang Yanfang said, taking out the diapers she had tried out earlier.
Shang Yanfang had this idea when the children kept crying at night.
At night, Gao Zichen sleeps with his maternal grandmother, while Gao Zixuan and Gao Zihan sleep with Shang Yanfang and Gao Jianguo.
Gao Jianguo wakes up twice every night to feed the children formula and change their diapers. He doesn't let Shang Yanfang get up at night to feed the children.
Besides, Gao Jianguo has already washed enough diapers for his three children every day.
"After using this, will we need to use diapers?" Gao Jianguo asked, picking up the little gadget from Shang Yanfang's hand.
"No need. This thing is like a diaper, but you just use one and throw it away, no need to wash it or anything." Shang Yanfang enthusiastically recommended it to Gao Jianguo.
"Okay, let's use it tonight."
When Shang's mother woke up again, it was already dark. In her drowsy state, she saw her son and daughter studying nearby.
She sat up abruptly and rushed into the kitchen; she had forgotten to cook.
"Mom, go back and rest a little longer. Dinner will be ready soon," Gao Jianguo said, trying to comfort his energetic mother-in-law.
"Jianguo's cooking!"
"Yes, Mother, dinner will be ready soon. You can go back now!"
"Okay, okay." Shang's mother returned to her room and sat there blankly.
"Mom, you've been working very hard lately. Jianguo and I can take care of the child tonight."
"My dear children, there are too many for you to take care of," said Shang's mother, worried that the two young people wouldn't be able to handle the three children.
"It's alright, Mom. We'll take better care of you tonight so you can get a good night's sleep, and you can take better care of us during the day so we can catch up on some sleep too," Shang Yanfang said sincerely to her mother.
"Alright then! If you two can't take good care of them, remember to call me." Mrs. Shang was still very worried.
"Dinner's ready." Just as Shang Yanfang was thinking about how to comfort her elderly mother, Gao Jianguo's meal was ready.
Tonight's dinner is a proper stew in an iron pot, using the leftover vegetables, meat, and vermicelli from lunch to make a whole pot.
"Nannan, Jianguo, if you can't take good care of her, come find me," Shang's mother said worriedly as she went back to her room to rest.
Looking at the several children who were like night owls, Shang Yanfang reluctantly agreed.
"Okay, Mom, we'll call you if we can't control it."
Only after receiving her daughter's assurance did Shang's mother return to her room.
Shang Yanfang took a diaper from her spatial storage and put it on each of the three children.
They just let the children wave their limbs around there.
"Honey, you need to get up early this morning and put these diapers away. Then put them in my space when I get up." Shang Yanfang blinked her big eyes at Gao Jianguo.
"Okay, I understand." Gao Jianguo looked at his wife with affection, while holding a rattle drum to amuse the children.
Shang's mother didn't know if it was because she slept too much during the day or because her child wasn't by her side, but she didn't sleep well all night.
She got up early in the morning and went to the door of Shang Yanfang and Gao Jianguo's house. Seeing the few people who were fast asleep, she quietly closed the door and went upstairs to cook.
The moment the door closed, Gao Jianguo got up and changed all the diapers off the three children.
Each of the baby's diapers was full, but not a single diaper leaked out.
Gao Jianguo washed each of his three children's little diapers with warm water and changed them before going to help his mother-in-law cook.
"Mom, why didn't you sleep a little longer today?" Gao Jianguo asked, puzzled.
"I slept too much yesterday and couldn't sleep last night. Were you able to take care of the children last night?" Mrs. Shang was very concerned about this issue.
"Mom, I can manage. The children all wake up around that time. I just feed them formula and change their diapers together." Gao Jianguo really thought the children were very well-behaved. They only cried when they were hungry or needed a diaper change; otherwise, they were generally very well-behaved.
"That's good then." Mrs. Shang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, what are you making for breakfast this morning?"
"Steam some buns."
"Then I'll help."
When Shang Yanfang got up, the three children had already finished eating quite some time ago.
"Mother, did you sleep well last night?"
"You've rested well, hurry up and eat. You're so lazy, you've been sleeping in until now," Mrs. Shang now sees no good in her daughter, not even half as good as her son-in-law.
This is what is meant by a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law and becoming more and more pleased with him.
"Mother, you don't love me anymore." Shang Yanfang looked at her mother accusingly.
Within a month, Shang's mother successfully realized that her daughter had indeed found a good man.
