Volume 1 Chapter 295 Discharge

"Is everything okay in the hospital these days?"

"Granny, it's okay."

Sheng Wanyan didn't want to make the old lady worry, so she didn't tell her what happened last night.

Who is Grandma Sheng? She was the one who raised Sheng Wanyan herself. She could tell whether Sheng Wanyan was lying or not just by looking at her.

But since my granddaughter didn't say anything, I didn't ask any more questions.

Since my granddaughter said it was okay, that meant the problem had been resolved.

Fortunately, she asked Xiaoze to go to the hospital to keep watch just in case.

"I'm glad you're okay."

"You need to be careful during your confinement period and watch out for the wind."

"If you get postpartum illness, you'll suffer in the future."

Sheng Wanyan nodded. She naturally knew the consequences of a woman not taking good care of herself after giving birth.

Those with better conditions suffer from hair loss, while those with worse conditions suffer from a swollen belly and postpartum illness.

"Granny, I know."

"My son-in-law is on vacation too, and your mother-in-law is here too."

"I can also feel more at ease."

Sheng Wanyan smiled and nodded. She was naturally happy that Gu Tingxiao was by her side while she was in confinement.

"I wrote a letter to your parents. If they knew you had a daughter, they would be so happy."

Especially Father Sheng. Before Pan Yue gave birth, she asked Father Gu to buy a doll for her.

Unfortunately, Pan Yue gave birth to a boy, so the doll was no longer needed, and Sheng's father had to take it home again.

"Yan'er, you gave birth to a daughter. Did your mother-in-law say anything?"

Grandma Sheng was a little worried. After all, among the three sons of the Gu family, only Gu Tingxiao had no son.

What's more, in this day and age, having a son gives one confidence, and she was afraid that Sheng Wanyan would have a hard time in her husband's family.

"Grandma, nothing to say."

"My mother-in-law is very happy. You can see how much she loves me."

That being said, Grandma Sheng has lived to such an age that she should naturally be able to understand some things.

She knew that although Gu's mother didn't say anything on the surface, she definitely hoped in her heart that Gu Tingxiao would have a son to take care of him in his old age.

Otherwise, when Yi Yi gets married in the future, there would be no reason for her to bring her parents with her, right?

However, this is Sheng Wanyan’s first child, so even if she gave birth to a girl, her in-laws would not directly deny it.

But if the second child is also a girl, it would probably be different.

"Grandma, don't worry about that."

"Ting Xiao and I are capable, not to mention that the Gu family has also split up."

"Children are born at random. They are my children regardless of gender."

Sheng Wanyan knew what Grandma Sheng was thinking. That was how it was in that era. If you couldn’t give birth to a boy, you would be looked down upon.

Even in later generations, there were many families that favored boys over girls, and she had no way to change this deeply rooted idea.

She didn't care what other people in the family thought, she just wanted to be a competent mother.

"You are so open-minded. I don't know how much your fourth brother and sister-in-law will look down on you when the time comes."

Although Grandma Sheng didn't have much contact with Wang Chunmei, Wang Chunmei was jealous of the new house that Gu's mother prepared for Gu Tingxiao when they got married.

She knew all these things, otherwise Mother Sheng wouldn't have been so rude in front of Mother Gu.

She would make a fuss over even the smallest things. Now her granddaughter has given birth to a daughter, and she has given birth to a son.

She didn't need to think about it to know how much contempt her fourth brother's wife felt for her.

"Grandma, I don't care what she thinks."

"But Yi Yi can't be bullied."

She didn't care whether Wang Chunmei looked down on her or not, she didn't need her to support her.

She could cause trouble for herself, but she couldn't cause trouble for Yi Yi, or say something that made Yi Yi doubt herself.

As a mother, she is not a pushover.

"I'm relieved that you think so."

"Adult matters should not involve children."

Grandma Sheng was afraid that when she returned to Kyoto, Wang Chunmei would look down on her.

At that time, I will say some things that I shouldn’t say in front of Yi Yi, and Yi Yi will feel traumatized.

"Nana, this is natural."

If she was that kind of narrow-minded person, she wouldn't have cared so much about Gu Jingjing in Kyoto.

If the child has done nothing wrong, I will naturally not target him.

Whoever it is, go to that person for help!

Seeing that she knew what was going on, Grandma Sheng didn't say much. She went to see her great-granddaughter for a while and then went back happily.

After Grandma Sheng left, Gu Tingxiao tidied himself up before entering the room, for fear of bacteria.

"Wife, are you hungry?"

Sheng Wanyan shook her head. The meals that Gu's mother cooked for her were without oil or salt, and she ate them for a week.

She felt her mouth was so tasteless that it was almost watery.

"While the weather is good, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some food to store when you have time."

It is now early September, and it will snow in the Ice City in a month or two, making it difficult to travel.

Although saving a little food at home is enough to get through the winter, it is still better to prepare more.

"Okay, I still have more than a month of vacation, and I'll prepare more by then."

Gu Tingxiao knew that his wife didn't like to go out during the winter. Last year, she had not gone out except for prenatal checkups.

"Wife, take a rest first and don't worry."

"I'm at home."

Gu Tingxiao felt sorry for her when he saw that she was worried just after returning home.

Sheng Wanyan nodded, and she asked Gu Tingxiao to bring her a book so that she could read it while lying down.

She didn't plan to take on the translation job this month and had already written a letter to the Kyoto newspaper to let them know.

Moreover, the number of translations had to be reduced. After discussing with the newspaper for a while, we finally decided to set it at 3 books per month.

After she finishes her confinement, she will continue translating.

Don't mention how reluctant the above is, after all, there is a severe shortage of talent in this area in the country.

It's so hard to find a translator with such a large vocabulary, and the country is eager to let her do more.

Unfortunately, everyone also thought that she had just given birth to a baby and the child needed care.

What's more, she is the granddaughter-in-law of General Gu. Even if some people disagree, they dare not speak.

Sheng Wanyan gave birth to the great-grandson of General Gu. If you dare to object, General Gu will probably go straight to your house.

The people above had no choice but to hand over some complicated translations to Sheng Wanyan.

Since we don’t have that much time, we can only strive for excellence.

———

Sheng Wanyan officially began her confinement life, spending her days either lying down to rest or breastfeeding her baby.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, Yi Yi wants to drink milk and will cry if he has poop.

Sheng Wanyan’s sleep quality is also poor and she has to get up in the middle of the night to feed her baby.

Gu Tingxiao pinched his eyebrows when he saw this. If this continued, would his wife's health be able to recover?

"Wife, how about giving the baby milk powder at night?"

Gu Tingxiao saw that Sheng Wanyan was so sleepy that she had to get up in the middle of the night. He thought his wife would not be able to bear it if she continued like this.

"The child is still so young, his spleen and stomach are fragile, he can't stand drinking milk powder."

Sheng Wanyan knew that Gu Tingxiao felt sorry for her, but she had milk, so there was no need to let the child suffer.

Seeing that she insisted on feeding herself, Gu Tingxiao didn't say much and let her lean on him to feed, which would be more comfortable.

After feeding the child, Gu Tingxiao let Sheng Wanyan rest while he coaxed the child to sleep.
