Chapter 215 - 214: Taking Care of Postpartum Confinement 3
Over the next five days, the whole commune was in a frantic race to harvest the rice, even Sanni, a little girl, was required to help in the fields.
Once she left, there was nobody at home to look after Li Chunhua who had just given birth.
So, at lunchtime, Ma Xiulian assigned a task to Chen Xiaobao at the dining table: "In a while, all your elder brothers and sisters will be working in the fields. You’re the oldest one left at home. Your mom is weak after giving birth yesterday, you’ll stay home and take care of your mother and your little brother."
Chen Xiaobao was naturally unwilling, but looking at his stern-faced grandmother, he could only nod reluctantly with an unhappy expression, sighing "Oh".
This was clearly a girl’s job! He would not do it!
So when all the adults went to the fields, he completely dismissed his job from his mind and ran out to play, forgetting all about Li Chunhua, his own mother.
Just having given birth yesterday, Li Chunhua was all weak and mainly had trouble moving the lower half of her body, which caused severe pain with even the slightest movement.
In the hot weather, she felt thirsty after a while and called out towards the door, "Sanni, I want water!"
But nobody came in after a long wait, she then shouted in anger: "Where the hell has that girl gone off to?!"
