After they walked into the house, Li Chenze and Zhang Ermu unloaded their items and carried them inside the house. As for Zhang Dongmei, she followed them into the house.
The moment they entered the main house, Dong Li came out of his bedroom and saw his parents returning with his younger siblings. Due to his school, he couldn’t visit his mother in the hospital and had been waiting anxiously at home.
Now that he finally saw his mother, he walked over and asked, "Mother, how are you?"
"Mother is fine, just a little bit tired," Lu Jueyu replied with a smile.
Hearing that his mother was tired, Dong Li reached out and said, "Mother, let me carry my younger sibling."
Lu Jueyu handed the baby to her son and said, "This is your second brother. Mother and Father haven’t given your younger siblings a name yet."
Dong Li hugged the little baby gently while looking at him and said, "Hello, Second Brother. I’m your eldest brother, Dong Li."
The baby was sleeping at this moment. When he heard his brother’s voice for the first time, he pouted his mouth before giving him a smile.
Seeing this, Dong Li’s smile widened as he said, "My second brother is so smart."
Li Chenmo shook his head when he saw how silly his eldest son was and said, "Let’s go inside first."
The group quickly settled in the bedroom. The Kang bed had been preheated by Dong Li when he received the news about his mother returning today.
Beside the Kang bed were three cribs with thick cotton quilts inside, serving as beds. On top of the quilts was a waterproof blanket.
Since the weather had been warming up, they would place the babies in the crib during the day and let them sleep on the Kang bed at nighttime. This way, the babies wouldn’t catch a cold or get rashes. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
After Li Chenmo settled his wife down, he covered her with a thin blanket before he opened the window and put down the curtain to block the strong wind and sunlight. With the curtain, the room would still get enough ventilation without being too windy.
When he was done, he went to help his eldest brother arrange the items and store the bicycle in the woodshed. Before they left, Li Chenmo handed a basket of eggs, two kilograms of meat, and a red envelope to his eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law.
"Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, thank you for your help taking care of my wife. My mother-in-law will come later to take care of my wife’s postpartum period," he said.
Hearing this, Zhang Dongmei accepted the gift and said, "If you need anything, just let us know, Third Brother."
"Okay."
Then Li Chenmo turned to Zhang Ermu and gave him a basket of fresh vegetables and fruits while saying, "Thank you for your help, Brother Ermu."
Zhang Ermu accepted the bamboo basket and said, "It’s just a small matter."
