Li Yu had a good night’s sleep. Just as she woke up and was about to get out of bed, Xing Hua and Granny Chen pushed the door open and entered. Li Yu touched her swollen and painful chest and asked the two of them with a smile, “Did the children drink milk last night? Why didn’t you ask me to feed the child?”

“Madam, Master instructed us not to wake you up. The nannies fed them at night. Last night, the two young masters drank milk twice. This morning, the nannies fed them again. What do you want to eat this morning?” Granny Chen smiled.

“I’ll go see the child.” Li Yu looked at Granny Chen. “Nanny, go get some hot water. I’ll wash up before eating. Otherwise, I won’t be able to eat.” “Madam, you can’t wash up during confinement. It’s not good to get wet.” Granny Chen looked at Li Yu disapprovingly.

“Listen to me. I washed up when I gave birth to Eldest Young Master and went through confinement. Granny, I really can’t eat without washing up. Go! Listen to me. If Master scolds you, I’ll back you up.”

Granny Chen bargained. “You can’t get wet. Ill scrub you with a damp handkerchief.”

Li Yu knew that this was the only way. “Alright, go ahead! I’ll go to the toilet first.”

Li Yu got out of bed. Xing Hua hurriedly put on her thicker clothes for her. When Li Yu came out, Granny Chen also brought a basin of hot water.

When Granny Chen saw Li Yu standing in the outer room looking at the children, she pushed Li Yu in disapprovingly. “Madam, quickly go to the bed and lie down. You can’t stand like this. The cracks in the woman’s bones have

been opened after giving birth. You can’t stand and carry the child tor the first few days. Xing Hua, help Madam in and lie down.”

Xing Hua hurriedly helped Li Yu in. “Madam, go in and lie down. I’ll carry

Second Young Master and Third Young Master in.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you in the future.” Li Yu smiled awkwardly.

“I was rude.” After Granny Chen smiled and bowed, she wiped Li Yu with a handkerchief. After Li Yu was wiped, she felt much more refreshed and sighed.

“Sigh! I’m finally alive.”

Granny Chen and Xing Hua pursed their lips and smiled when they saw Li Yu sigh. They thought of what Master had said when he went out. Madam would ask to wash up when she woke up. They were not to agree to her. They had to tell her that she couldn’t touch water. At most, they could just wipe her with a warm handkerchief.

Xing Hua brought Li Yu a set of soft cotton pants. Li Yu put them on and put on her hat. Auntie He and Old Madam Liu walked in with a tray. Li Yu ate a bowl of noodles and drank some soup before putting it down.

She turned to look at her two sons, who were sleeping together. Their small hands were by their mouths and their faces were red from sleep. She felt that children were really different every day. They looked much better today.

Li Yu pinched them gently and kissed their faces. “Two little baddies, why were you in such a hurry? Were you in a hurry to come out and receive the red packets?”

Xing Hua laughed when she heard that. “Madam, Young Masters still don’t know what the New Year is! How would they know about the New Year money?”

“Silly girl, Madam is teasing the child!” Granny Chen carried a big pillow and placed it behind Li Yu’s waist. She instructed with concern, “Madam, sit against it for a while. You have to lie down more.”

Li Yu recalled the scene of confinement when she gave birth to Yangyang and sighed. “Sigh! I still have to be locked in the house for a month or two. I’m afraid just thinking about it.”

Xing Hua smiled at Li Yu. “Madam, don’t worry. I’ll accompany you every day.”

When Zhou Jia returned from the government office, Old Master Zhou also came. He looked at Zhou Jia excitedly. “Zhao Cai said that your wife gave birth to a pair of sons last night. Is that true?”

Zhou Jia looked at the happy Old Master Zhou and nodded with a smile. “It’s true. I’ll carry them over to show you in two days.”

Seeing Zhou Jia’s pleasant expression, Old Master Zhou felt much more at ease. He looked at Zhou Jia proudly. “Jiahe, I made a big sale yesterday and sold more than ten pots of winter plums and more than ten pots of orchids. I have to think about what to buy for the two babies.”

Seeing his happy expression, Zhou Jia also smiled. He couldn’t help but think to himself, that had he been this serious when Grandfather was still alive, how happy would Grandfather be? Every time he saw the old man, he would either ask for money or complain. The father and son didn’t even talk for more than three sentences before they started to quarrel.

“What do you want to eat? Go and instruct the stove to make it for you. Old Madam Liu bought a bass; I’ll ask her to steam it for you. How about that?”

When Old Master Zhou heard Zhou Jia ask him softly if he wanted steamed bass, his heart warmed and a poignant feeling surged in his heart. “Hehehe!” He hid his laughter and said, “Alright, steamed bass it is.”

Yangyang ran in with his school bag on his back. When he saw Old Master Zhou and Zhou Jia standing under the eaves of the outer courtyard, he went forward and held Old Master Zhou’s hand. He smiled and asked, “Uncle, are you cold? Mother gave birth to two identical younger brothers for me last night.”

“I’m not cold. I know that Yang’er has a younger brother.” Old Master Zhou smiled until his face was full of wrinkles. He touched Yangyang’s furry head and took out a box from his pocket. He handed it to Yangyang. “There are a few wooden carvings in it. I saw them in Nan City yesterday. See if you like them.” Yangyang took the cup and bowed. “Thank you, Uncle.”

“Yang’er, bring your uncle into the house to sit. It’s warm in the house.” After saving that, Zhou Jia turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Yangyang brought Old Master Zhou into the house and opened the box. He saw a few chubby wooden dolls with angry expressions and smiling eyes inside. He didn’t know what material they were carved from, but there was a faint fragrance. Some of the dolls had collars hanging from their necks, some were lying on their stomachs, some were lying on their sides and turning their heads to look, as if they were chatting with other children lying on their stomachs. There was also one who was sitting on his tiptoes… They were of all shapes and sizes and looked charmingly silly.

Yangyang rejoiced and bowed to Old Master Zhou with a smile. “Thank you, Uncle. I like them very much. Go play with Grandmaster first. After I finish my homework, I still have to teach Brother Loach and the others.”

“Go! I’ll go play chess with Old Liu.” Old Master Zhou smiled and waved his hand.

Yangyang took the box into the inner courtyard and went to Li Yu’s room. She stood at the door and looked at Li Yu and her two brothers lying beside her.

Li Yu leaned against a big pillow and waved at him with a smile. “Yang’er is back! Silly son, why aren’t you coming in?”

Only then did Yangyang walk in. Looking at the wool hat on Li Yu’s head, he asked curiously, “Mother, why are you wearing a hat in the house?”

“Mother has to wear a hat during confinement.” Li Yu smiled and touched his small hand. It was a little cold. She asked with concern, “Son, are you cold?

Why aren’t you wearing thicker clothes?”

Yangyang saw that Li Yu was still the same as before. When she saw him, she touched his hand and asked him if he was cold. He climbed onto the bed and snuggled into Li Yu’s arms. He smiled and said, “Mother, my classmate said that you won’t like me anymore after you have a little brother. In the future, you’ll only like little brothers. He didn’t believe me when I said that Mother wouldn’t dislike me..”
