Chapter 31 Chapter Four

The labor pains, which came two days past the due date, lasted seventeen hours.After experiencing severe pain like being crushed in the back, the first time I saw Sakura who was hugged by the midwife, I was so touched that any joy in my past life could not be replaced.Sakura is so cute.From today, I am the mother of this child. She was sweating profusely and her hair was in a mess, but Sakura's cry melted away all the tiredness after giving birth.In the face of this lovely child, restaurants, hair salons, and shopping centers have all become trivial matters.Nothing is a pity.Dedicating the next few years to Sakura is nothing at all.

When everyone saw Sakura, they all said she looked like her father.Different from Yoshie's double eyelids and oval face, Sakura has a round face with single eyelids. When Liangzhi proposed to name the child Sakura, Xue said: "Huh? We also want to have this name in our family?" Liangeda was surprised, then disappointed. "What's this kind of name?" The voice asked back was cold and hard, not like his own voice. "Isn't the name Sakura very common? It's very cute. I've thought about it for a long time. Recently, many children's names have a lot of strokes, and they don't know how to pronounce it. It's so pitiful, so I decided to take it. A name you can read at a glance."

"However, seeing the word '吉良' and knowing how to pronounce it as 'SAKURA', I don't think there are many people. And it's fine if she was born in spring, she was born in summer. Besides, '良' Can it be pronounced 'RA'?" "Don't you know the idea?" Yoshie frowned.In the maternity magazine she subscribed to, there was a section introducing newborns with photos, and it was the right way to read it.She resented her husband's ignorance and dullness. "Sakura's 'Ryo' is Ryoeda's 'Ryo'." It's a very girly and cute name.In Liangeda's heart, this child is already Sakura.She has always called the child that way, and it has been written in the manual.

"It's not that it can't be done." Xue hurriedly said as if to smooth things over.But it's too late to please now.Liangzhi was so angry that her name was picked on. She was angrily silent and ignored Gaku. She thinks she knows what kind of name the doctrine "such a name" refers to.They are "RUKIA" and "NOERU" with multiple pronunciations and special names.She felt that this kind of name often appeared in the terrible news of child abuse, and it was often associated with words such as "little mother who has not yet grown up", "living-in boyfriend" and "unemployed".She once saw a well-known speaker in the education circle comment on TV that "the sensibility of modern people in naming children is no different from naming pets."She felt very unwilling, and felt that there were only a small number of people who did that.Yet Yoshie couldn't forgive her husband for learning to think of our precious daughter as that kind of person, even for a moment.

The newborn Sakura has been a crybaby since she was born. When she was hospitalized, Sakura was placed in the nursing station at night. After returning home from the hospital, Liangzhi's parents and grandmother called their granddaughter and great-granddaughter "Xiaofu" and pampered them very much.Whenever she was free, she would go to the room where Sakura and Yoshie were sleeping, pick up Sakura who started babbling, pinch her chin and stroke her.Everyone said that they had never seen such a cute baby. During the confinement period after giving birth, Liangzhi wanted to spend it leisurely at her mother's house, but when she was just discharged from the hospital, her mother said softly: "Maternity is like being injured, so you should take a good rest." After three weeks, she set a strict deadline : "It's time to go home in a month."

"Study, I have to take Liange and Sakura back to her mother's house once in a while. If Liange suddenly explodes, it will be bad for Xiao Fu." The mother joked and sent them away with a smile.To leave such a beloved granddaughter, the mother must also feel extremely lonely.Even so, he returned his daughter to his son-in-law. Liangzhi felt that his parents' attitude was correct. In the back seat of the car that came to meet him before the school, Yoshie sat next to the baby seat, looking at the distant scenery of his hometown.The loneliness of leaving her natal family, where she lived for nearly three months, and the anxiety of living in the future made it difficult for her to calm down.

During the one-month stay at her mother's house, the crybaby Sakura cried every night every hour: baby-care books and the Internet said that the interval between breastfeeding would be "gradually lengthened", but there was no sign of it getting longer at all.In her natal life, her mother helped to wash diapers. In the apartment in Tokyo, Yoshie couldn't afford to wash them one by one by herself.She felt helpless, but there was no way out.The child has been born, and from now on, she needs Liang Zhi's support to survive.And Liangzhi realized that the life with the baby is this kind of communication that must not be neglected for a moment.

Already started. On the day Liangzhi returned to his apartment in Tokyo, his mother called and asked, "Did you get home safely?" Her mother's voice sounded a little tearful. "Although the days with Xiaofu by my side are hectic, every day is very happy." When talking on the phone, Sakura burst into tears, and Liangede leaned over the receiver and said, "Did you hear that?" His mother was almost exaggeratedly happy: "It's only been a day, and I've already started to miss Xiaofu." She didn't understand, but her mother called her name on the other end of the phone.

"Did you hear that? Xiao Fu, it's grandma. Xiao Fu, you must obey your mother obediently from now on." Hearing her mother's happy call, Liangzhi was about to cry again. "I'll call again." Liangzhi responded, suddenly realizing that he was a child who grew up in a beautiful family. The way parents and grandmothers treated, loved, and cared for Sakura should be the way Yoshie was treated when he was born.I used to be cared for and loved, and I was the apple of their eye.Through his daughter, Liang Zhi saw the scene nearly thirty years ago.
