Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang exchanged a tacit glance, and then Grandpa Jiang spoke to comfort her, "Shushu, Jiuyan will be fine. I'll keep an eye on him for the time being."

His granddaughter had a very hard life without a father and a mother. Now that she has finally come to an end, he will not allow any accidents to happen.

In fact, even if his granddaughter Shen Yunshu didn’t call them over today, Grandpa Jiang had this plan in mind.

The fate of his grandson-in-law was so strange and cruel that even Judge Cui and the King of Hell could not see through it.

With the powerful old man helping to keep an eye on things, nothing would happen to Gu Jiuyan for sure. Shen Yunshu's anxious heart calmed down instantly.

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma."

Grandma Jiang put on a stern face and pretended to be angry, saying, "You are our granddaughter. Don't say such strange things in the future. It will make us sad."

"I won't do that again, grandpa and grandma, you're so nice to me." Shen Yunshu snuggled in her grandmother's arms and acted like a spoiled child, just like when she was little.

"You are our granddaughter. If we don't love you, who else will we love?"

Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang still had work to do, so they said a few words to Shen Yunshu and left.

With the assurance of his grandparents, Shen Yunshu slept exceptionally soundly that night and did not sleep until he was woken up the next morning.

"Shushu, get up and eat. You are going to move back to the old house with grandma and the others today."

Hey, she almost forgot about this. Shen Yunshu, who still wanted to stay in bed, forced herself to get up slowly. Shen's mother, who was guarding the bed, half-knelt on the ground to put on her shoes.

Mother Gu squeezed the toothpaste and prepared water for washing her face and brought it into the house. Two figures were crowded in the small kitchen. Grandma Gu was guarding the stove, simmering millet porridge over a low fire, and Grandpa Shen was busy pounding cucumbers on the chopping board. He would mix them with sesame oil and vinegar later.

Last night, his granddaughter mumbled that she wanted to eat some cold cucumber salad, so he took note of it.

The cucumbers were so tender that you could squeeze out the juice. He searched in the vegetable garden for a long time before he could barely pick out a few slightly larger ones. He used half for cold salad and washed the other half to take in the car for his granddaughter to eat on the road.

In short, the Gu and Chen families were extremely considerate in all aspects, treating the pregnant Chen Yunshu like a jewel, fearing that she would be bumped, dropped, or even touched, and always putting her preferences first in everything.

Mother Gu helped Shen Yunshu tie her braids, and the three of them went out to eat.

Shen Yunshu's eyes lit up when she saw the cold cucumbers on the table. After everyone was seated, she couldn't wait to pick up the cucumbers with her chopsticks and eat them.

It tasted crispy in the mouth, but not spicy or sour enough. Shen Yunshu looked at his mother beside him with sparkling eyes:

"Mom, go to the kitchen and get me some vinegar and chili oil. I also need an empty bowl."

After she became pregnant, she had a strong taste for food. There were two elderly people at home, and they definitely couldn't get used to sour or spicy dishes.

With the help of Gu's mother, Shen Yunshu added two spoons of vinegar and two spoons of chili oil to the cold cucumber in his bowl.

This just suits Shen Yunshu's current appetite.

The other people at the table looked at Shen Yunshu who was eating heartily, with complicated expressions on their faces. Mother Gu couldn't hold it in any longer:

"Shushu, isn't it sour or spicy?"

Shen Yunshu shook his head: "It's okay, but the chili oil this time is not spicy enough. I'll have someone send some spicier chilies over tomorrow."

Hearing this, Mother Gu's heart began to beat fast. Her daughter-in-law loved spicy and sour food. Could it be that she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl?

As soon as this idea came to mind, Mother Gu couldn't help but feel happy, staring at Shen Yunshu's bulging belly with fiery eyes.

The look was too direct, and Shen Yunshu, who was busy eating, couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to. She swallowed half a cucumber in her mouth and asked:

"Mom, why do you keep staring at my belly?"

Mother Gu, who was caught peeking, felt a little guilty. She touched her nose with her right hand and said in an extremely unnatural tone, "I thought the baby is about to be born, but I haven't had time to choose a name yet."

"There's no rush to name a child. We can still do it after Gu Jiuyan finishes his mission and comes back." Shen Yunshu is bad at naming. She can't do the job of naming a child.

As soon as the three words "Gu Jiuyan" came out, the lively atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly cooled down. The sadness that flashed across Gu's mother's eyes was so quick that it was impossible to catch it.

Mother Shen didn't want her pregnant daughter to be sad, so she cooperated and said, "Listen to Shushu and let Jiuyan handle naming the children."

Grandpa Shen and Father Shen, who had flipped through the thick dictionary over and over again and almost tore it apart, saw sympathy in each other's eyes.

After Liu Meiling learned that Shen Yunshu was going to move back to the old house to take care of her pregnancy, she specially brought her daughter Jiang Shuyao to the Gu family to see her off.

Jiang Shuyao knew that her sister Piao Niang was leaving, so she hugged Shen Yunshu's neck with both hands and refused to let go. Her little face, which was not even the size of a palm, was covered with tears.

She didn't want... Sister Piao Niang to leave...

Liu Meiling was worried that her daughter would hurt the baby in Shen Yunshu's belly, so she angrily told her daughter to let go.

Shen Yunshu took out a handkerchief embroidered with small flowers from her pocket and wiped the little one's tears, but the little one cried so much that the handkerchief in her hand was wet with tears.

"After auntie gives birth to the baby, I'll come back and play hide-and-seek with you, okay?"

"...Sister Piao Niang...I won't lie..."

"Whoever lies to you is a puppy." This little guy is quite smart. Shen Yunshu looked at the little guy in front of him and liked him very much.

Such a well-behaved and cute big-eyed baby, I wish he was hers.

Jiang Shuyao stopped crying immediately, staring at Shen Yunshu's belly with her big, blinking eyes. She clenched her chubby little fists and said very seriously:

"...When my little brother is born...I will protect him..."

It happened again. Every time the little guy saw her, the most common thing he said was that she would protect her younger brother in the future. Shen Yunshu looked at the little guy's serious expression and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

She refused.

After reluctantly saying goodbye to Shen's father and the others, Shen Yunshu, Gu's mother and the other two took a car back to the city.

Grandpa Gu got up early today and bought two pounds of pork and an old hen. Father Gu slaughtered the hen and simmered it on a coal stove over low heat.

He timed it just right: his daughter-in-law came back by car and the old hen soup on his coal stove was ready.

Grandpa Gu and Father Gu were like two stones waiting for their wives, standing behind the gate, tilting their heads and staring eagerly at the entrance of the alley.

Old man Xu from the Xu family, who lived across from the Gu family, was showing off in front of Grandpa Gu with his little grandson, who was less than eight months old, in his arms.

He and Grandpa Gu had been competing with each other all their lives, but he had never won. Fortunately, his granddaughter-in-law from the Xu family lived up to his expectations and gave birth to a great grandson, which allowed him to win over Grandpa Gu.

"Gu Zhenting, look at my little grandson, he's so cute with his chubby face."

Grandpa Gu glanced down at the little guy in his arms and said absentmindedly, "He's just so-so, not cute, but better than a stinky old man like you."
