Chapter 406 Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain
After Cheng Cheng turned one, the couple decided to wean him off breastfeeding. He was fed until he was exactly one year old, which was normal.

Liang Ziqiang had seen how difficult it was to wean a baby in his previous life, so he suggested taking Cheng Cheng to Huagu Village and letting her grandmother take care of her for a while. Without her mother, Cheng Cheng naturally stopped breastfeeding.

"Let him go to my mother's house?" Chen Xiangbei, who had just made a decisive decision to stop breastfeeding, suddenly showed a protective look on her face. "Can he get used to it? This is too cruel!"

Liang Ziqiang was unable to convince his wife, so he finally compromised and decided to temporarily leave his son in the care of his mother.

Living under the same roof every day is bound to break up, so Liang's mother temporarily moved to her eldest brother Liang Tiancheng's house and took Cheng Cheng to sleep with Xiao Hai, while Zifeng switched and slept with Liang's father.

Both homes are in Juzipo, neither close nor far.

Usually Chen Xiangbei deliberately avoided her and would not openly go to her sister-in-law Kuang Haixia's place. But not going openly does not mean that she cannot go there secretly. Every time she missed her son so much, she would sneak over to her son when he was asleep and take a few glances at him through the window.

Liang Ziqiang finally understood. The main reason why she didn't want to take her son to Huagu Village was that it was inconvenient for her to secretly visit her son every day, and she couldn't stand it.

But the drawbacks of this method were exposed within a few days.

Liang Jingcheng was willing to drink milk powder and eat porridge. It was fine when Liang Xiaohai played with him in all kinds of ways during the day, but at night, he would look for his mother everywhere.

After all, they were only so far away that he could barely tell the direction. He pointed in this direction and insisted that his grandmother carry him back home.

In particular, one day, Chen Xiangbei accidentally spoke a little loudly, and Liang Jingcheng heard it from afar. He was so angry that he burst into tears, crying heart-wrenchingly, and his tears flowed like a dam bursting. His grandmother tried every way to comfort him but it didn't work.

The whole Orange Hill knew about his grievances.

The crying was so loud that when it reached this side, Chen Xiangbei's tears suddenly welled up and fell one by one.

Later, she hid in the inner room, sat on the bed, buried her head in her knees, and burst into tears, unable to control herself any longer.

Across the night wind of Juzipo, the mother and son echoed each other and cried as if they were competing.

Liang Ziqiang looked helpless, but he was not too sad, because he knew that this was a stage and a hurdle that he had to get through.

He hugged his wife in his arms and was surprised to find how long this woman had been holding back. She cried so many tears that she leaned on his chest as soon as he hugged her.

When she lifted her head from him, she wiped her eyes that looked like two red peaches, and her tone became very decisive:
"My son has been weaned for many days. He is used to drinking porridge. Even if he comes back to me now, he will definitely forget about drinking milk. I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to bring him back now!"

"Don't give up halfway!" Liang Ziqiang hurriedly tried to pull and persuade his wife.

However, he didn't hold her back. The daughter-in-law changed into her daytime clothes, and it seemed as if two roller coasters were installed on her feet. She ran out with steps two beats faster than the wind on a summer night.

In fact, he wanted to say that the worst thing about weaning is to give up halfway. If you are not careful, all the previous efforts will be wasted. But he could see that his wife was heartbroken when she heard her son crying in the distance, so how could she care so much?
Soon the daughter-in-law came back from Xiaohai's house. The son lay on her shoulder and stopped crying. However, his eyes, which were as beautiful as his mother's, were like black stones melted by water, wet and filled with grievance and happiness.

It's like a reunion after a disaster.

That night, the son refused to go anywhere and refused to sleep in the cradle. He squeezed in between the two of them, fearing that he would lose his place in the middle of sleep.

Needless to say, Chen Xiangbei was a new mother after all, and she underestimated the stubborn memory of her child drinking milk. That night, Cheng Cheng relapsed.

I tried to wean my baby off breast milk at my eldest brother's house for more than a week, but failed.

A lot of tears were wasted. I heard that Xiaohai had several toys destroyed by Liang Jingcheng. It seems that these toys were wasted. But this is not a solution. After one year old, the nutrition provided by the mother is actually insufficient. He must switch to eating more normal meat porridge, vegetable porridge, and rice. Otherwise, if he continues to feed like this, his son will be even more unwilling to eat normal food, and he will become thin.

After a while, seeing that there was no way to quit smoking, the couple discussed it and Chen Xiangbei finally made up her mind to send her son to her mother's home in Huagu Village.

Huagu Village is relatively far away, and even if Cheng Cheng looks for his mother everywhere, at least he can't hear her voice. After crying for a while, he might slowly forget about her. When he completely forgets about her, the milk will be successfully stopped.

In fact, a considerable number of children may not be able to wean successfully in one go, and they will have to do it intermittently and repeatedly. In the end, they are sent to their grandmother's house or other distant relatives' homes for a month or so, thinking it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one.

Now she no longer heard the heart-wrenching cry of her baby at night, but Chen Xiangbei felt like she had lost something and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Liang Ziqiang saw through it: "It's not that my son wants to give up, I think you've gotten used to holding him in your arms over the past year, and you get nervous when your hands are empty. The child will grow up eventually, can you still hold him in your arms for a lifetime?"

"You are so cold-blooded!" The daughter-in-law was missing him so much that she complained, "It's just a kitten or a puppy. You've kept it by your side for a year and it suddenly ran away for a while. You must feel empty inside, right? That's your own son!"

Liang Ziqiang, who was accused of being cold-blooded, thought about it seriously, then came over and suggested constructively:
"If you really want to hold the baby, there are ways. Cheng Cheng is getting bigger and bigger. Even if you want to hold him in the future, he will definitely not let you. This is the simplest way. How about I give you another one?"

Liang Ziqiang dressed himself up like the goddess of fertility and looked at his wife eagerly.

The daughter-in-law's face was confused for a moment, and her eyes were misty. She couldn't help asking:
"Is it really possible? But our first child is a boy, so we shouldn't have any more children, right? If we really have another one, wouldn't that be an extra birth?"

"Well, it's not completely unsolvable. When the time comes, we can hide and give birth to the baby. Who can do anything about it? We will punish them if necessary. It's not like our family can't afford the punishment."

"Forget it, let's go to sleep." Upon hearing how troublesome it was, her originally wavering thoughts suddenly came to a halt.

"Come on, you can't sleep if you toss and turn. At least you can find something to do!" He hugged his wife's waist and attached himself to her like a magnet. "That guy is not here now, and I have locked the door. How can I sit idle with such a good opportunity?!"

In fact, they have not been "idle" in the past six months. They always put Cheng Cheng in the cradle and coaxed him to sleep, and then the couple began to have fun together.

The reason why she didn't get pregnant was because Liang Ziqiang would choose the safe period. If it wasn't the safe period, he would take another approach, in vitro fertilization.

So far, the combination of these two methods has been very effective, at least there has been no case of unexpected pregnancy.

Soon, the daughter-in-law was no longer so passive. Perhaps because she was confident in the quality of her own walls, a sweet and innocent voice came out of her throat. Liang Ziqiang felt like he was stepping on the crests of the waves, as if he was going out to sea.

But at the critical moment, he still didn't dare to invest billions of dollars in his wife, and all of them were spent outside.

Whether or not to have more children is another matter. Most importantly, my son is only one year old now. If I make another big investment now, the second child will only be one year younger than the first one, so the two babies are still too close together.

At least wait until Chengcheng is a little older and more sensible.

"I thought you really had the guts," the wife glanced at him, "You're just being stubborn!"

It is not possible to have a second child for the time being, but Liang Ziqiang’s actions tonight are not useless.

At least Chen Xiangbei was a little tired and didn't have the energy to think about Cheng Cheng anymore, so she fell asleep soon.

Liang Ziqiang’s injection can calm the nerves and help you sleep, and the results are immediate!
