Chapter 815 The Childishness That Should Be
Chapter 815 The Childishness That Should Be
“These fireworks are so beautiful.”
"It's indeed different from our Qinghe Bay."
Everyone was chatting and laughing while enjoying the fireworks.
The night of New Year’s Eve was very cold, and the snow emitted a cold silver light under the reflection of the fireworks.
The wind was a bit strong on New Year's Eve, and even standing under the porch I could feel the wind blowing in my face.
Gu Taohua and Su Chengmin were responsible for setting off the fireworks, while Maner Yaozu and Huaer and several other children were there to create the atmosphere. Every time the fireworks went off into the sky, the children would exclaim "Wow".
Influenced by Man'er and the others, the crown prince raised his head and grinned happily.
Maner made a snowball and threw it at the prince, who hit back.
Soon, snowballs were flying everywhere and several children started a snowball fight accompanied by fireworks.
The Crown Prince has heavy study tasks in the palace every day, and is bound by various rules and even assassinations from time to time. It is impossible for him to relax and play snowballs in the palace.
Only when he went to Tong Huaqiong's house could he regain his childishness.
Seeing Gu Taohua setting off fireworks in the snow, Lu Zhaozhao felt like playing around. She said to Gu Jingzhe, who was supporting her, "I want to set off fireworks, too."
As Lu Zhaozhao's belly grew bigger, Gu Jingzhe didn't dare to be careless at all.
Afraid that Lu Zhaozhao would slip on the ice and snow.
Gu Jingzhe said, "It's windy in the yard. It would be bad if we caught a cold. Let's just watch them from the porch."
Lu Zhaozhao frowned.
Ever since the beginning of winter and the snow, she has been closely protected by her family.
I was afraid she would get cold or slip.
Even if you go to a shop, you will be surrounded by people.
The New Year atmosphere is so lively now that she can't even set off fireworks.
This pregnancy is really hard.
Tong Huaqiong saw this and said to Lu Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, there will be plenty of opportunities to set off fireworks in the future. You're really not in a good condition to set off fireworks in the snow right now."
The yard is so slippery. If you slip, you can easily hurt the baby in your belly and yourself.
With the medical methods of this era, neither adults nor children can be saved.
Tong Huaqiong knew that Lu Zhaozhao was in pain because of losing her short freedom, but compared with her life, she really didn't dare to be careless.
After hearing what Tong Huaqiong said, Lu Zhaozhao gave up the idea of setting off fireworks.
Tong Huaqiong said, "When your child is born safely, we'll buy you a yard full of fireworks."
Lu Zhaozhao chuckled, then sighed, "I'm more precious than Man'er and Yaozu now."
Zhao said, "Zhao Zhao, listen to your mother-in-law and take good care of yourself. Don't think you're being squeamish. It's better to be a little squeamish during pregnancy. Don't listen to what others say about women who act like they're fine during pregnancy, washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of the whole family. Giving birth is as easy as laying an egg, and they can go back to work in the fields right after. Anyone who does that will have to endure the hardship. Most women in Qinghe Bay are like this. Who hasn't developed some kind of illness? What woman wouldn't want to stay home and take care of herself during pregnancy? That doesn't mean she doesn't have the conditions, does it?"
"Look, your mother-in-law is in better health than me. When she was pregnant, no matter how your great-grandmother scolded her or what the villagers said, she insisted on not working in the fields or washing clothes. At most, she would light a fire and cook a simple meal. It is because she is in good health that she has the strength and energy to do business."
After hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao smiled and said to Zhao, "Aunt Zhao, I understand this truth. My mother-in-law protects me for my own good."
Liu Yue'e said sourly, "Zhao Zhao is lucky. When I was giving birth to Yaozu, I used to cook for him from time to time."
Zhao glared at Liu Yue'e and said, "How could things be the same back then? Back then, families were poor and everyone worked hard. Compared to other wives, you were quite good. When you were pregnant with Yaozu, you just helped cook meals for the family. You didn't go out to the fields or wash clothes, and you were quite well-rested during the confinement period."
Zhao didn't have the courage to say that Liu Yue'e was much better than Chen Sufen.
Among the wives in the Gu family, Chen Sufen suffered the most. She had to work even before she was out of the confinement period.
At that time, the mother-in-law treated her step-son and his wife so cruelly.
She is completely different from my current mother-in-law.
Fortunately, Chen Sufen was able to rest peacefully after giving birth to Ying'er, and her physical weakness was compensated.
Liu Yue'e envied Chen Sufen and Lu Zhaozhao, who became national treasures after becoming pregnant at home. She wanted to get pregnant again and enjoy the life of being pampered by the whole family.
Tong Huaqiong was speechless at Liu Yue'e's thoughts and said, "No matter how well you take care of yourself during pregnancy and how well you recuperate after giving birth, your body will still be more damaged than before the birth."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Jingzhe.
Gu Jingzhe didn't even need Tong Huaqiong to continue speaking, and immediately said, "Mom, I will understand Zhao Zhao's hard work, I will be good to Zhao Zhao, and I won't make Zhao Zhao angry."
Zhao sighed, "Jingzhe is a caring person."
Soon, the fireworks were over.
Gu Taohua rubbed her red, frozen hands and brought Maner and Yaozu to the corridor.
"The remaining fireworks will be set off on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Gu Taohua ordered people to put away the unopened fireworks.
At this time, Su Chengmin came over and said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, the time has come. You should return to the palace."
The crown prince was originally talking to Man'er and was getting ready. When he heard Su Chengmin's reminder, his face showed disappointment.
The Gu family calls New Year’s Eve the Chinese New Year.
He didn't want to go back to the palace at all.
But he had no choice. The prince threw away the snowball in his hand. Chen Sufen took a hot towel and carefully wiped his hands. Tong Huaqiong ordered someone to bring a hand warmer to the prince.
"Grandma, I'm going back." The smile on the prince's face faded and he said to Tong Huaqiong.
"Go back." Tong Huaqiong smoothed the crown prince's collar and said, "You have won the first good fortune of the year. From now on, you will have peace and security every year."
The grandson smiled and said, "So does Grandmother."
"Dad, Mom, I'm going back."
The prince came to Chen Sufen and Gu Dahan, looked up at them with his eyes shining.
Chen Sufen held the prince's hand and gave him instructions on everything from diet to dressing, from studying to resting, before reluctantly letting go.
Gu Dahan had a lot to say to the crown prince, but he didn't know how to start. Finally, he raised his hand and brushed away the snow on the crown prince's shoulders.
The prince's nose felt sore and tears almost came out.
At the so-called royal family banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve, there were no father and mother among the familiar figures in the room.
In his memory, at the New Year's Eve palace banquet, his father and mother sat below his grandfather.
He was young at that time, and his emotions were all expressed on his face. He was having fun at the banquet.
Prince Ning's uncle said he was a bad boy, but his father patted his head lovingly and said he was still young and that children should have fun. His mother held him close, worried that he would catch a cold, and fed him hot soup spoonful by spoonful.
Such a scene will never happen again.
My father and mother disappeared completely inside and outside the palace walls in a cruel way.
Gu Dahan and Chen Sufen's concern for him reminded him of his father and mother again.
"Happy New Year, don't be sad. Come out on the 15th and we'll go see the lanterns." Man'er saw that the prince's eyes were red, so she walked over and held his hand and said.
The Grandson blinked and said with a smile, "Okay."
After saying goodbye to everyone, the tightly wrapped Crown Prince was carried onto the carriage by Su Chengmin.
The carriage slowly drove away from the Gu family. The prince looked back reluctantly and saw the lanterns under the corridor of the Gu family swaying in the wind on New Year's Eve.
He had a very happy New Year's Eve this year.
Tong Huaqiong and others stood in the corridor and watched the prince's carriage go away before returning to the house.
