Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

The postpartum period was really tough. After a month, I felt uncomfortable all over. As soon as my postpartum period was over, Qiu Yingying quickly washed her whole body and felt like she had lost several pounds.

During her postpartum period, we hired two nannies, one to take care of the baby and the other to take care of Qiu Yingying's diet and other aspects. Qiu's mother said she wanted to stay and take care of Qiu Yingying during her postpartum period, but we didn't allow it, not wanting Qiu's mother to work too hard.

Every day when Shen He comes home from get off work, he first cares for Qiu Yingying, then holds the baby himself, and learns to bathe and breastfeed the baby. Qiu Yingying thinks it's good. Men can't truly understand the pain of childbirth, so at least she should learn to take care of the baby and share the burden. Even though there is a postpartum nanny, she still wants to experience the hardship of taking care of a child.

After my postpartum period, I'm going to have a delicious hot pot meal. I've been eating very bland food during my postpartum period, and my mouth has lost its flavor. I just miss hot pot, especially spicy hot pot. I also like barbecue and some beer.

Shen He accompanied her throughout the entire process. After the child fell asleep that night, the two of them sat and ate barbecue and drank beer, feeling incredibly happy. After finishing their meal, Qiu Yingying got up to wash up.

After washing up, I lie in bed and read a novel. I used to pass the time during my postpartum period by reading novels, and I've started reading novels again recently.

After taking a shower, Shen He hugged Qiu Yingying, feeling a little excited. Thanks to cultivation and the effects of the spiritual spring water, her postpartum figure had recovered very well, and her skin was delicate and smooth. She didn't look like someone who had given birth at all. Shen He's eyes darkened, and he felt a surge of heat.

. . . .

The next morning, Shen He got up early and went to work. Qiu Yingying felt sore all over and angrily scolded Shen He for a while.

The maternity leave and postpartum period haven't started yet, and Qiu Yingying doesn't have to go to work today. She got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. Wearing a nightgown, she looked at the marks on her body in the mirror and scolded Shen He again.

After washing up and having breakfast, I watched my son sleeping soundly. The nanny had already fed him. I sat on the sofa, read a novel for a while, and then went back to my room to cultivate myself.

Life went on like this. The pain of childbirth and Shen He's heartache for Qiu Yingying led them to tacitly decide not to have a second child. They would just raise their son and that being a family of three would be fine.

After getting off work, we learn how to take care of the child. The two new parents take turns feeding the baby with formula, which is a different kind of fun.

Before I knew it, my son was already in kindergarten.

Shen Qiu: "Mom, I want to sleep with you tonight, but Dad won't let me. Dad is bad."

Little Shen Qiu adorably tattled on her mother.

Qiu Yingying: "Okay, baby, you'll sleep with Mommy tonight, we'll ignore Daddy."

Little Shen Qiu was happy.

When it was time for bed, little Shen Qiu took her little pillow, climbed onto her parents' bed, and snuggled into her mother's arms.

Shen He entered the room and saw his son occupying his spot.

Shen He: "Shen Qiu, didn't I tell you that you're old enough to sleep by yourself?"

Shen Qiu: "Mom said I can sleep with her tonight, but Dad is bad."

After saying that, he turned his back to Shen He.

Qiu Yingying laughed heartily: "You'll sleep with us tonight."

Shen He had no choice but to sleep with the three of them.

In the middle of the night, Shen He got up, carried the sleeping Shen Qiu to the side and slept alone, then moved to the other side and cuddled his wife to sleep.

Fortunately, the bed was big enough, otherwise little Shen Qiu might have fallen off.

When Shen Qiu woke up the next day, her parents were already up, so she didn't notice.

I took my son home to visit Mr. and Mrs. Shen over the weekend.

As soon as the car stopped and the door opened, Xiao Shenqiu rushed inside.

"Grandma, Grandpa, I'm back to see you." A cute child's voice rang out.

Mrs. Shen: "Oh my, my little darling, come here! I've missed you so much! Have you been eating and sleeping well lately?"

Mr. Shen also went over and picked up Shen Qiu, his eyes full of love.

Shen Qiu: "Grandpa and Grandma, I have been eating and sleeping well."

The grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter exchanged affectionate greetings.

Qiu Yingying walked in: "Mom and Dad, how have you been lately?"

Mrs. Shen: "Don't worry, we're all fine. We're relieved that you're doing well."

Mr. Shen also nodded in agreement.

Shen He carried the things inside, and the family had a lively meal together and stayed at home for the night.

Qiu Yingying's family home is quite far away, so she usually goes back to stay for a few more days when she has a few extra days off. During the National Day holiday, she would bring people back to stay for four or five days.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiu were overjoyed that the young couple had brought their child back. Little Shen Qiu was doted on by both his grandparents and maternal grandparents.

After all, he is the only grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

Qiu's parents refused to go to Shanghai to be with Qiu Yingying, fearing it would be too much of a burden. So, Qiu Yingying bought a shop for the two elderly people in the small county town and opened a supermarket there, hiring people to work there. The elderly couple didn't have to worry about much; they just needed to collect the money.

She occasionally comes to Shanghai to help take care of the children when she has free time, stays for a while, and then goes back to Shanghai.

Both sets of parents regularly drank the spiritual spring water, so they were in good health and lived to a ripe old age, passing away peacefully without any regrets.

Qiu Yingying was almost sixty years old at this time. Due to years of cultivation and the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, she looked like she was only forty years old. Shen He was about the same age. The two of them retired early. Shen Qiu was married and had children and grandchildren who were all grown up. She would occasionally bring her grandchildren back to visit Qiu Yingying and Shen He.

Qiu Yingying enjoys drinking tea and tending to her flowers in her spare time. Because she is in good health, the couple often travels to see the sights around the world. When they were younger, they would take time to travel every year, and now that they are retired, they have even more time. Sometimes, the two of them travel all year round.

Qiu Yingying and Shen He have always had a good relationship, and it is a blessing that they have been able to accompany each other all this time.

Looking back on my life, I have no regrets. Thinking back to this world of Ode to Joy, I realize that I haven't seen everyone much since I got married, except for once after I gave birth.

Later, after attending everyone's wedding, Qu Xiaoxiao and Dr. Zhao had a daughter after their marriage, and the two lived a pretty good life.

Aside from some conflicts between Mrs. Bao and Andy after their marriage, Andy and Bao Yifan's life was pretty good. After giving birth to a son, Andy focused her energy on her grandson.

Fan Shengmei met the right person and got married and had children after she turned thirty-five. Guan Guan, on the other hand, did not end up with Xie Tong and eventually got married through a blind date arranged by her parents.

When Qiu Yingying was eighty-five years old, she saw Shen He off and sat quietly, feeling lonely. Shen Qiu was afraid that his mother would do something rash, so he often brought his grandson back to keep Qiu Yingying company.

I wouldn't be upset, but I do feel a little lonely. It's hard to let go of someone who's been with me for so many years. I've had a very happy life with Shen He by my side. He's been very good to me even in my old age. We've been together for so many years and our love for each other has grown very deep.

Five years later, Qiu Yingying passed away at the age of ninety.
