Chapter 175 Good Luck

Gu Mingda saw that this move was effective, and hurriedly sent Niu Niu to the carriage.

As soon as Niu Niu opened the curtain of the carriage, she saw Changshou had already turned his little face to the curtain.

His little nose moved, as if he smelled Niu Niu's scent, and immediately stretched out a pair of hands towards him.

Niu Niu was only six years old, so naturally she couldn't hold him, so she could only use one hand to hold his hand.

Changshou's white and tender face immediately wrinkled into a ball, making a wronged expression.

Niu Niu whispered: "Be good, brother, let's stop crying, okay?"

Changshou tightly held Niu Niu's fingers, as if he was afraid that she would run away, and the grievance on his face gradually disappeared with Niu Niu's gentle comfort.

"I don't know what's wrong with him, he keeps crying, and he won't let us wipe his tears. If we wipe them, he will cry even harder." Li looked puzzled.

As Changshou stopped, He Niangzi's daughter beside him stopped crying.

Niu Niu took out the handkerchief in her arms and gently wiped the tears from Changshou's face.

Changshou, who used to make a fuss when touched, was unusually well-behaved when facing Niu Niu. However, when Niu Niu took a handkerchief to wipe the tears of He Niangzi's daughter, Changshou seemed to be jealous, and his mouth kept drooping, as if he would cry again in the next second.

Seeing this, He Niangzi wanted to hug her daughter far away. Although it was cold today, it would be easy for the baby's face to be chapped if the tears were not wiped dry, but she was more afraid that Changshou would be unhappy, and thus make Li displeased.

Although Niu Niu was young, she was already very much like an elder sister, and gently coaxed her brother: "Be good, we must be generous and good children."

Changshou's mouth drooped, and then Li saw with her own eyes that her son, who was less than three months old, had a flattering smile on his tender face.

"Your sister is still powerful, she has plenty of ways to deal with you, a little bad guy." Li stretched out her hand and tapped Changshou's nose.

Changshou turned his head away in dissatisfaction.

Li scolded, "I worked so hard to give birth to you, you little brat, but you don't feel sorry for me at all."

Little Changshou didn't respond to her mother.

But Niu Niu stuck to Li and said obediently, "Godmother, my brother is still young. When he is as old as me, he will be especially considerate."

Niu Niu praised two people with this sentence.

Adults' boasting will only make people bored, but children are different. Li felt that Niu Niu looked so lovely.

She couldn't help thinking that even if her third brother's wife's family exchanged their twin daughters for Niu Niu, she would definitely not exchange them. Such a considerate and well-behaved daughter is really hard to find in the world.

In the second half of the day, Niu Niu sat in Li's carriage.

In the Gu family's carriage, although Zhang Yunniang was happy that Changshou finally stopped crying, she couldn't help feeling empty without her daughter. However, she also knew that Li needed Niu Niu more than she did and would never let Niu Niu suffer any grievances.

Gu Zhao suddenly said, "I also want to go to the carriage at the back."

Zhang Yunniang was stunned and asked directly, "You can't bear to leave your sister?"

Gu Zhao nodded, but didn't say what was hidden in his heart.

He wanted to accompany Niuniu and Li, because Li always had a lot of cakes and preserved fruits in her carriage, and she didn't limit how much the child ate.

But Gu Zhao has always been very cautious when it comes to eating, and he instinctively felt that it would be better not to say it.

Zhang Yunniang was also thinking of ways. After separating from her daughter, she realized how difficult it was for mother and daughter to be separated.

Before dark, the carriage entered the next post station.

Perhaps because the journey was too bumpy and Xiao Changshou was too young, he didn't sleep well at night.

He suddenly cried in the middle of the night, and Niuniu, who was originally sleeping upstairs, was sent downstairs by Zhang Yunniang.

In the second half of the night, Niuniu slept directly with her brother.

The next morning, just after breakfast, Zhang Yunniang pulled Gu Zhao to run to Li.

"Sister-in-law, Ah Zhao kept saying yesterday that he wanted to be with me. I thought I also took care of a lot of children, so why don't I take Ah Zhao with you so that you can take care of him." Zhang Yunniang said.

Compared to accompanying her husband, Zhang Yunniang wanted to accompany her daughter more.

Li was naturally overjoyed when she heard that Zhang Yunniang wanted to help, and said, "Sister-in-law, I should have been polite, but with the relationship between our two families, it would seem strange if I refused."

Li's carriage was spacious, so she sent two maids to the back of the carriage and replaced Gu Zhao and Zhang Yunniang.

Li was originally afraid that a boy like Gu Zhao, who was only seven or eight years old, would make a fuss, but she didn't expect that Gu Zhao would be quiet because he stuttered.

The Sun family was large and powerful, and they never cared about a bite of food. After Gu Zhao finished eating, the servants would fill his mouth, and Gu Zhao's mouth never stopped.

Zhang Yunniang's eyes were about to be connected into a line, but Gu Zhao pretended not to see it.

He had only been in the Sun family's carriage for half a day when Zhang Yunniang drove him away to accompany Gu Mingda.

Zhang Yunniang's arrival did relieve Li's pressure. The older women around Li were not energetic, and the young and strong maids had no experience in raising children. Even He Niang had only given birth once. Zhang Yunniang was young and experienced, and she taught her all the little tricks of raising children.

"When he is six months old, you don't have to feed him milk all the time. You can add some rice paste to him and slowly feed him some mashed meat and vegetables." Zhang Yunniang said.

Li was surprised: "I was thinking of letting Changshou drink milk until he is three years old."

Zhang Yuniang said: "Many wealthy families raise children like you. My method is the way of rural families, but according to my observation, raising children in this way can make people stronger."

Li was doubtful, so she asked again: "Sister-in-law, how many children in your family were raised like this?"

Zhang Yunniang nodded.

Li looked at Zhang Yuniang with envy, not because she envied her having many children, but because she envied Changshou for being extremely well-behaved when she fell in her arms. Apparently Zhang Yuniang was good at holding children, making Changshou very comfortable.

"Sister-in-law, please teach me. Every time I hold this child, he won't be happy after a while." Mrs. Li said eagerly.

Zhang Yuniang shook her head gently and said, "I will teach you at least five months later."

Li was puzzled.

"You have just given birth to a baby, and your body has not fully recovered yet, so you should hold the baby less."

Zhang Yuniang continued: "This is what my mother-in-law taught me. I gave birth to three children. In the first few months, except when breastfeeding, my mother-in-law never let me hold the children. Even when breastfeeding, she always leaned on them like this. Hey, so now I rarely have back pain.”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she felt mixed emotions.

They all married into the same family as the three brothers. The Sun family was rich and powerful, while the Gu family was an ordinary rural farmer and lived a poor life.

But the Gu family's parents-in-law are kind and willing to love and care for their daughter-in-law. This kind of family atmosphere is far beyond comparison with the Sun family.

Mrs. Li had always felt that her life was good, but suddenly she felt that Zhang Yunniang was the one with the real good life. She had a good husband, doted on by her parents-in-law, good luck with her children, Gu Yan was sensible, Gu Zhao was lively, and Niu Niu was a peerless good daughter. Except for her second son, almost everything in her life was No regrets.

She even wondered in a daze, if she were the Gu family's wife, would she be Niuniu's favorite mother now?
