Hualing ca back from work, saw Cheng Su and the others chatting animatedly in the kitchen, and joined in on the conversation. A group of won standing in the kitchen were talking about work, then shifted to discussing their kids.
This Southwest Ladder building had four apartnts per floor. Among the families here, everyone had kids, either already born or on the way, except for Cheng Su.
"Didn’t you say you would have one this year? Still no signs?" Hualing glanced at Cheng Su.
She rembered when Cancan was born, Cheng Su had ntioned wanting a child this year, but it seed like there was still no sign of it.
Cheng Su shook her head and said, "I’m still taking pills to regulate my body right now!"
The others were taken aback.
"After what happened last year, my health hasn’t been great. My hands and feet are too cold, and my uterus is chilled, so I need to regulate it first," Cheng Su explained.
Hearing her say this, the others recalled that upsetting incident and felt a bit embarrassed, realizing they had brought up sothing painful to her!
Hualing felt sympathy for Cheng Su. She herself had experienced the distress of Chen Shouwang’s affair. For soone as glossy as Cheng Su, she too had suffered from so flashy scoundrel’s deed back then.
It shows that in life, eight or nine out of ten things don’t go as one wishes. No one should assu others have it easy; you never know what they’ve gone through privately.
"Oh, let’s not talk about this. Cheng Su, you’re still young; there’s no rush," Chunhua said. "Let tell you, don’t think having kids is so fun. Just look at , a complete yellow-faced woman now, not as fresh as before. My Old Liang isn’t even interested in anymore. If it weren’t for taking the initiative, he probably wouldn’t even think of touching !"
Guiying blushed and lowered her head. Being thin-skinned, she couldn’t bear to hear such bawdy talk.
Hualing spat, "Shaless, you’ll say anything, don’t you have any decency."
"We’re all adults, all married, what’s there to be afraid of saying? Really, after having a kid, down there isn’t as good as before. When you do it, it’s not as comfortable as when you haven’t given birth. If you don’t believe , ask Guiying," Chunhua pointed to Guiying. "After she and Dahe had a baby, is it as loving as before? And our skin can’t compare to pre-birth, it’s all rough."
Guiying was so embarrassed she wished she could find a hole to hide in.
"No way, I think Guiying looks even more beautiful after having a kid!" Hualing deliberately teased her.
"Really?" Chunhua leaned in for a closer look and said, "Then I should buy so ginseng cream for my face too."
Cheng Su was amused and burst out laughing, saying, "Actually, I’ve heard that giving birth is like a rebirth for won. The key is to have a good postpartum recovery. If you handle that well, you can be even prettier than before. Chunhua, don’t underestimate yourself. I noticed your mother-in-law took good care of you during your recovery, and after having the baby, you looked even better, fair and rosy, really nice-looking."
"Really?" Chunhua touched her face delightedly and said, "You’re the one who knows how to talk!"
Hualing rolled her eyes speechlessly; she thought this person was really easy to please.
"Your due date is July, right?" Cheng Su asked her, "When will you start resting, and how will you arrange your postpartum recovery?"
"Early July. We’ve got it all planned out; I’m going back to my mom’s for the recovery. I can’t count on his mom to take good care of ," Hualing said, pursing her lips.
On this point, Cheng Su agreed. Only your own mother will truly care about her daughter and take good care of you during recovery. It doesn’t matter where you recover, as long as you’re comfortable.
The group chatted for a while. Those who needed to cook did so, and those who needed to rinse rice did. There was lively commotion, with a holy atmosphere filling the kitchen.
