Chapter 1692: Chapter 1109: Unusual Behavior

Second post.

"Calm him down first and then eat, or else, you hand him to me, and I’ll hold him?" Liu Meijun said as she reached out to Luo Xiaoqiong, signaling her to give Longlong to her.

"It’s not a matter of holding or not..." Luo Xiaoqiong sighed, "Wait until you become a mom, then you’ll understand, there’s a little rebellion happening here, damn it..."

Only when Luo Xiaoqiong began to untie the little quilt with a bitter face did Liu Meijun understand: "Did he poop?"

"Yes." Luo Xiaoqiong apologized to the group, "If any of you can’t eat anymore, I apologize. He just has to choose this moment to do it, and I can’t help it..."

"Alright, it’s not such a big deal, listen to you going on and on..." Chuxia gave her a look, simply put down her chopsticks, stepped forward to help, cleaned up neatly, then fetched a basin for washing, first letting Luo Xiaoqiong wash her hands, then washed her own hands, sat back and picked up her chopsticks to continue eating, while giving a look to Luo Xiaoqiong who just sat there watching and not acting, "If you don’t adapt properly, you might end up starving. The key is, it’s not a big deal if you starve, but if the milk becomes less, the one who suffers is Longlong, and can you bear that?"

"Did Nannan and Beibei often do this kind of thing before?" Luo Xiaoqiong looked unbelievingly at Chuxia, "That’s not right, I haven’t encountered it, don’t lie to me."

"Oh..." Chuxia gave her a look, "You only saw them once or twice just after the month, it’s quite normal not to encounter it. Having kids means going through these things, just force yourself to adapt." As she spoke, she glanced at the gloating Yun Doudou, "You can’t escape either, you don’t need to laugh so gleefully."

"I’m not laughing at that..." Yun Doudou waved her hands repeatedly, "Huhu has done these things quite often, I’ve already adapted, so seeing Xiaoqiong like this, I find it particularly amusing."

"You’ve adapted early?" Luo Xiaoqiong frowned, "We spent the month together, I didn’t see Huhu doing such things, you’re lying without a draft."

"After coming back, I got a craving for some fruit, it was a bit cold, and who would have thought it led to Huhu having constant diarrhea, so..." Yun Doudou spread her hands, "I really adapted, the first time, I also was too nauseous to eat, my mom just told me that after she gave birth to Guoguo and me, not to mention cleaning up the poop and continuing to eat, she’d smell it each time, saying you could judge a newborn’s health from the smell of the daily poop."

"Really?" Luo Xiaoqiong’s eyes widened in shock, "Your Auntie Lan indeed smelled your poop, I see Auntie Lan is so clean, doesn’t look like... someone who’d do such a thing?"

"Do you think my mom would lie to me about this?" Yun Doudou gave her a look, "If you dare to say this in front of my mom, she’ll definitely turn against you."

"Okay, okay, it’s all my fault, don’t tell Auntie Lan about what I said..." Luo Xiaoqiong quickly begged for mercy, "I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I’ll eat, I’ll eat right now, is that okay?"

"Erniu, we’re the lucky ones..." Liu Meijun looked at Zhang Erniu, who was sitting next to her, "Right?"

"Yes." Zhang Erniu nodded, hesitated a bit, then added, "However, sooner or later we’ll have to face this too, right?"

"As long as current times are happy."

"No..." Zhang Erniu bit her lip, "Seeing them like this now, I envy them, regret not marrying earlier. I should have gotten married first, that way, my in-laws would be even happier."

"Erniu..." Liu Meijun was speechless staring at Zhang Erniu, unexpected such a straightforward person said such things, truly refreshing her view of her.

"Erniu, if my parents knew you thought like this, they would definitely be very happy..." Luo Xiaoqiong looked softly at Zhang Erniu, "However, don’t regret it or blame yourself, only people like Doudou and I, who are carefree, can do such things. Someone as traditional as you making such a choice is really difficult.

Besides, your family situation is different, if you hurriedly got married, people in the village would surely gossip, wait until my brother returns, plan it well, that’s the best."

"Mm." With a responding sound, Zhang Erniu’s voice carried a choking sensation, "I know saying this now is like closing the barn door after the horse has bolted, but I’m truly regretful, you have to believe me."

"I believe you, of course I believe you..." Luo Xiaoqiong quickly grabbed her hand, "You are too sensitive, I’m speaking from the heart, not deliberately saying good things."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Erniu sniffled and smiled embarrassedly, "You used to come back and immediately look for me, this time you didn’t show up, I thought you hated me."

"Alright, I said Meijun was sensitive yet the most sensitive one is you..." Luo Xiaoqiong sighed helplessly looking at her, "Sis, I just finished the confinement period, can I be the same as before?"

"I’m sorry..." Zhang Erniu’s face turned beet red, "I forgot about this."

Everyone: "..." Is this something you can forget?

Zhao Yulan came in, glanced at her two grandkids snoring away, and shook her head with a laugh, "How can they sleep so much today? The relatives want to see them, but it seems these two little guys just don’t want to meet anyone." Then, she puzzledly looked at those staring blankly at Zhang Erniu, "What’s up with you all?"

"Nothing much, just a minor misunderstanding due to lack of communication. It’s all cleared up now..." Chuxia laughed and moved over a bit, "Mom, come sit down and eat something. There are so many people outside, you’ve been busy attending to them and probably haven’t eaten much, right?"

"Today’s not my big day, so I did eat enough..." Zhao Yulan laughed and rubbed her daughter’s head, then looked over at Yun Doudou, "Doudou, go talk to your mom later. She drank a bit too much today."

"My mom drank?" Yun Doudou looked surprised.

"Yeah." Zhao Yulan nodded, "She’s been toasting table after table. Even though it’s red wine, with so many people, it’s hard to handle it all. We’re not that close to her, so it’s not easy for us to say much. Your dad did try to persuade her, but she said it’s a big happy day, and not drinking would let everyone down.

But..." After a pause, she continued, "Even if your mom says that, I can tell she’s got something weighing on her mind. Whatever it is, talk to her, and have a good chat tonight. Don’t let her keep it bottled up."

"Thanks, Aunt Yulan. I’ll go check on her now..." Yun Doudou said while getting out of bed and putting on her shoes, then reminded everyone, "Please keep an eye on Huhu for me. I’ll be back soon."

"Do you think we wouldn’t check on Huhu if you didn’t say something?" Luo Xiaoqiong rolled her eyes, "Alright, go on, such a nag!"

As Yun Doudou’s figure disappeared, Chuxia looked at Zhao Yulan in confusion, "Mom, I always thought Auntie Lan seemed pleased. Why would she be sad at the full-moon banquet?"

With a long sigh, Zhao Yulan said, "I don’t know the details either, but I guess it might have something to do with the child being a grandson."

"Does she want a granddaughter?" Chuxia’s face showed even more confusion. No matter the era, most elders seem to prefer boys, right?

Liu Meijun chuckled at Chuxia and quickly explained, "I think what Aunt Yulan means is that Auntie Lan is upset the child doesn’t carry the Yun surname."

Zhao Yulan nodded, "Yes, that’s what I meant."

Chuxia finally caught on and glanced at Luo Xiaoqiong, who was laughing on the bed, displeased as she gave her a shove, "I just didn’t catch on right away, is it worth laughing that much?"

"I didn’t expect that you could be silly like this sometimes..." Luo Xiaoqiong said, finally suppressing her laughter, her voice hoarse, "You’ve always been so clever it’s scary, but seeing you make small blunders occasionally is really adorable..." She then looked at Zhao Yulan, "Right, Aunt Yulan?"

"You kids..." Zhao Yulan just smiled helplessly, "Chuxia didn’t think much of it because her dad and I don’t usually fuss over things like this, but the Yun family’s background is different, naturally, their thoughts are different too. Of course, this is just my wild guess; maybe it’s not even about that."

"If it is, it might be because someone said something to provoke Auntie Lan. With so many relatives and friends here today, there are bound to be some who don’t get along with Auntie Lan and might say something hurtful. Auntie Lan’s the type who can’t handle provocation..." Chuxia couldn’t help but sigh, "Why do some people have to sprinkle salt in others’ wounds when they’re happy?"

After a while, Yun Doudou brought Lan Ailian in, and everyone turned their gaze to Lan Ailian. Sure enough, she had a bit too much to drink, her face was flushed red, and her eyes were somewhat dazed. Seeing everyone staring at her, she laughed, "Don’t look at me like that, what’s so interesting about an old woman like me?"

"You know you’re not young anymore?" Yun Doudou glared at her angrily, "You drank yourself into this state, aren’t you afraid of people making fun of you? Mom’s always been about keeping face, what happened today?"

"Didn’t you see your Aunt Yue?"

"Aunt Yue?" Yun Doudou thought for a moment and looked confusedly at her own mom, "Which Aunt Yue?"

"Oh, right, I’m getting muddled. I haven’t introduced you to her yet..." Lan Ailian said as she took her daughter’s hand to leave, "Come on, let’s go out and I’ll introduce you."

"Mom!" Yun Doudou turned to Yun Guoguo, who was standing dumbfounded at the side, "Guoguo, close the door."

"Oh." Yun Guoguo quickly dashed to close and lock the door from the inside. She was also shocked. The only other time she remembered her mom drinking like this was after a big fight with dad. But today, why?

"What are you closing the door for?" Lan Ailian glared at her daughter, "Do you think I’m a joke too? Embarrassed by me?" (To be continued.
