After Mrs. Sheng was discharged from the hospital, she was personally cared for by Old Mrs. Sheng.

They did hire a nanny for the family.

But they were all doing manual labor.

Grandma Sheng insisted on personally handling the soup-making process to ensure she felt at ease.

But she also wanted to take care of the child and do grocery shopping and cooking, which left her exhausted.

Mr. Sheng took over the childcare, allowing the old lady to focus on making soup.

I'll leave the grocery shopping to Mr. Sheng.

The nanny was supposed to buy it.

However, Mrs. Sheng felt that the nanny would skim off the top when buying groceries, thus reducing the amount of food available, which would prevent her daughter-in-law from getting proper nutrition.

She knew her son had gone bankrupt and the whole family depended on her granddaughter for support, so she wanted to save some money.

I carefully budget every day.

They were afraid of spending too much.

When Sheng Yueqing found out, she told her not to worry about the money, "Just spend it, I'll earn it back."

She now has a stable income, enough to support her family.

Grandma Sheng felt sorry for her, saying, "That's different. You're not just supporting us, you're supporting everyone in the factory."

Even the supermarket employees and the cake shop employees depend on her to earn money to support them.

Sheng Yueqing hugged her, "That doesn't mean you have to be so frugal when buying groceries. I earn money so you can spend it."

She wanted the old lady to live a more comfortable life in her later years, not to be so frugal.

Grandma Sheng wouldn't listen.

"I can spend it however I want."

The nanny's money can't be skimped on, but she wants to control the cost of groceries herself.

Sheng Yueqing couldn't argue with her, so she just let her be.

"Then please buy more meat next time, I'm never full."

When Grandma Sheng saw that her face had indeed become thinner, she realized that she had been so busy taking care of her daughter-in-law this month that she had forgotten about her granddaughter.

She felt extremely guilty, saying, "It's all my fault. I knew you were busy on your business trip, but I forgot to make you beef jerky. Look how thin you've become."

In the past, when Sheng Yueqing went on business trips, she would make her a lot of beef jerky and pork jerky so she could have something to eat when she was hungry.

Otherwise, she gets so busy that she forgets to eat.

This time, she was busy with her grandson and nourishing her daughter-in-law, and she neglected her granddaughter.

Grandma Sheng felt extremely guilty and took Sheng Yueqing to weigh herself.

Well, now I weigh 85 pounds, I'm even thinner.

Grandma Sheng was heartbroken. "It's my fault, it's my fault. Starting today, Grandma will make it up to you. You have to make it up."

In this era, plumpness and a full figure are fashionable. Sheng Yueqing is 168 cm tall and weighs only 85 kg, which is indeed too thin.

But she did this because she forgot to eat.

Now that I'm back from a business trip, I've been eating well at home every day, and in less than two months, I've gained over 90 pounds.

Grandma Sheng was very pleased to see her plump face.

"I told you that eating and drinking well every day would make up for it, did you believe me?"

Sheng Yueqing picked up the flesh on her face and said, "Believe, believe."

If I eat any more, it will probably exceed 100.

However, once she gets busy, she quickly loses weight again; there's nothing she can do about her naturally thin physique.

When Xiao Xile was six months old, she wanted to go out to play every day; she was a restless child.

He was well-fed and plump, so much so that even Grandma Sheng had difficulty holding him.

He was especially playful; at only six months old, he was already pupating on the ground and even tried to stand up—a precocious little guy.

Old Mrs. Sheng was very proud, believing that the Sheng family had produced good offspring.

Look at these people, they're all elites.

Even the youngest grandson, who is only a few months old, is so amazing.

They will definitely be successful in the future.

Mr. Sheng smiled but said nothing, though he also felt that his son was full of energy.

Mrs. Sheng can no longer take care of him. Now she has weaned him and is feeding him formula and complementary foods directly.

After all, giving birth in one's forties is a bit tiring.

This child seems to have an inexhaustible supply of energy; he's quiet only when sleeping, and never still once he's awake.

Everyone in the family took care of him, and they were all exhausted, but he was still full of energy.

He Yushen helped take care of the children when he had free time, and for the first time he felt that someone had more energy than him.

As a child, he was so hungry that he was thin and pale, but he still had the strength to work in the fields.

I thought he was already pretty amazing, but I never expected that his brother-in-law, who was only a few months old, would be so busy all day long.

He was exhausted after a whole day of work.

Once inside, he complained to Sheng Yueqing, "Wife, my brother-in-law has way too much battery. If we used him as a shop light, all the lights in this house would be on forever."

According to later accounts, if you put your phone on Xiao Xile, you can walk at least 20,000 steps a day.

Sheng Yueqing smiled.

"You're already this tired after just one day of taking care of her, so should I even give birth?"

"What if you give birth and can't take care of the child?"

He Yushen had never taken care of children before, and he didn't know how to take care of his nephews and nieces in the past either.

The family only asked him to do chores; they never asked him to take care of the children.

Besides, he didn't have much patience for his nephews.

Old Mrs. He was afraid he would beat the child, so she dared not let him take care of him.

Having spent the day with his brother-in-law, he's starting to lose confidence.

"What if our child is just as unruly and can't stand not going out to play for even a day? What will we do then?"

Both of them have to work and travel for work from time to time.

There's simply no way to raise a child.

He Yushen sighed, "Or, how about we wait until we retire to have one?"

By then, I'll have a job, savings, and time to focus on raising my child.

Sheng Yueqing was both amused and exasperated.

"That's a good idea."

pity.

"What's a pity?"

Sheng Yueqing handed him the report, saying, "Unfortunately, I'm pregnant."

The couple had originally planned to have a child in the next two years.

I never expected that the child would arrive so soon after I started planning.

It happened so fast it caught everyone off guard.

He Yushen exclaimed "Huh?", completely stunned.

"She's pregnant already?"
