Chapter 232 is completely unscientific.
Chen Xiangxiang watched from the side, her anxious heart finally calming down. It was her first time visiting her grandmother's house, and she was afraid that they would look down on her. After all, she was the one who pursued Zheng Xiangqian back then, and her words and actions were quite bold. Thinking back on it now, she blushed.
Fortunately, my maternal grandmother, uncle, and two aunts were all very warm and welcoming, showing no discrimination whatsoever. My younger brother and sister also liked Binbin very much.
However, Chen Xiangxiang was overthinking it all. After marriage, she lived a quiet and obedient life with Xiangqian, respected her elders, cared for Ruidong, and managed the household and other affairs well. Qian Shuzhen and the others did not care about what happened before marriage.
"Sister-in-law, is Binbin hungry? Look, he's even trying to lick Mingcheng's fingers." Tingnan couldn't quite remember if this meant the baby was hungry.
Chen Xiangxiang hurriedly stepped forward, "That should be it, it's been a few hours."
"Tingnan, take Xiangxiang to my room. It's warmer there because of the stove." Qian Shuzhen heard this and quickly instructed Tingnan. Her room was the warmest in the house; the children, practicing martial arts, weren't afraid of the cold, and they didn't have many blankets or bedding.
Qian Shuzhen said to her granddaughter-in-law, "Xiangxiang, you can stay in my room tonight. Your aunt cleaned the room a couple of days ago and changed the sheets and blankets this morning."
"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you, Aunt!" Chen Xiangxiang said hurriedly, feeling everyone's respect for her.
Zhao Xiaojuan liked women who dared to do things and was especially gentle with Chen Xiangxiang, saying, "Don't be polite. After you feed the child, stay with him and rest for a while. I'll call you when it's time to eat."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie!" Chen Xiangxiang didn't refuse and followed Ting Nan into the room.
After Chen Xiangxiang finished eating and put Binbin to sleep, she gently closed the door and came out. This was often the case at home; after the child fell asleep, she would busy herself with housework, and if the door wasn't closed tightly, the child could hear her waking up.
But as soon as she sat down and hadn't chatted with everyone for more than a few words, she heard Binbin crying, and Chen Xiangxiang quickly got up.
“Mom, I’ll go in and see him too. Binbin always sleeps well; he can sleep soundly for more than two hours after he’s eaten.” Song Xiuying said, getting up and following her into the room.
Later, Chen Xiangxiang tried to soothe Binbin, but he just couldn't sleep soundly and would cry as soon as she put him in bed. Zheng Xiangqian tried to hold him, but he still cried, and Ting Nan tried to hold him too, but he still cried.
"Are you feeling alright?" Qian Shuzhen stepped forward and touched her head. "No fever, and nothing seems wrong."
"Mother, should I go and call the doctor to take a look?" Song Wanli was a little worried, as his family had lost two daughters in infancy.
Qian Shuzhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait, light three incense sticks for me!"
Song Wanli was somewhat confused, but he did as instructed anyway.
Qian Shuzhen took the incense sticks, walked to the portrait of Song Wanli's father in the main room, bowed, and said, "Old man, this is your daughter Song Xiuying returning with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Her grandson Binbin is still young. No matter how much you like him, you must not tease him, understand? Don't disturb him, let him sleep well, and you must bless him to be healthy..." After finishing her rambling, Qian Shuzhen inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner in front of the portrait.
Ting Nan watched as her grandmother finished doing all this, and then went back into the room to find Binbin sleeping soundly in bed. This was too amazing, wasn't it? It didn't make any sense at all!
Later, my grandmother said that children's eyes can see things that adults cannot. This is because children's eyes are pure, and their third eye is not closed, so they can see friends or souls in the spirit world.
Souls? Ting Nan wasn't really a believer, but she couldn't explain what she had seen. Could it really just be a coincidence? However, she didn't press her grandmother for more questions; she still held the unknown in awe.
Grandma asked her not to go out late at night, and Tingnan agreed to try her best to do so, because Grandma said she was afraid she would be haunted by "evil spirits," so she just wanted to put Grandma's mind at ease! These kinds of things are a matter of belief; if you believe, they exist, if you don't, they don't.
