After forty-five days, Shen Yunshu finally made it through. He ate thirty chickens, eighteen crucian carps, half a rack of spare ribs... and became much fatter.

On the first day after her confinement, Shen Yunshu took a good bath, using up half a bar of soap. The pants she wore before she got pregnant still fit her well.

It's just that the top is a bit too tight. In this overly strict era, if Shen Yunshu dares to go out wearing it like this, the person who reports him will be at his doorstep.

As a last resort, Shen Yunshu picked out a clean nursing dress and put it on, which covered a lot more.

If I meet Sister Mengpo tomorrow, I will ask her if there is any way to make it smaller. That place really can't grow any bigger, otherwise it will hurt when I walk.

The moment Shen Yunshu pushed the door open, Gu Jiuyan's reaction was like a hungry wolfdog that suddenly saw meat, with his eyes shining.

Chen Yunshu glared at him: "Mom and Dad are watching, you should be careful of the impact."

"I know." Gu Jiuyan's liver ached when he thought that his happy life would only last for two months.

To celebrate the happy moment of Shen Yunshu's confinement, Wan Xinyu and other family members prepared a sumptuous meal.

The sweet and sour spare ribs that leave a lingering taste in your mouth, the braised carp with rich sauce flavor, the sour and spicy stir-fried pork belly, the soft and chewy soybean pig's trotters... and the crispy, sweet and spicy eggplant.

Grandpa Gu, who had twisted his waist, was unable to come over, so Grandma Gu picked up some of his favorite dishes and brought them to him early.

The kid was coaxed to sleep, and without any external disturbances, everyone gathered together and had a rare peaceful reunion dinner.

When it was almost over, Wan Xinyu looked around and finally stopped at Shen Yunshu. He pursed his lips:

"Thank you all for your care during this time. After today, I will be leaving. Everyone remember to take care of yourselves. I will be back in the future."

The lively atmosphere cooled down instantly, and everyone looked at Wan Xinyu. After seeing the seriousness in his eyes, a sense of reluctance welled up in their hearts.

They have long regarded Wan Xinyu as a member of the family.

Shen Yunshu fully supported her friend's choice. She drank water instead of wine and stood up to toast Wan Xinyu:

"Lao Wan, no matter what happens, you are the uncle of my sons. The doors of the Gu and Shen families are always open to you. If you are tired outside, come back and rest."

"Shen Zhiqing, being able to meet you is the greatest blessing in my life, Wan Xinyu. Thank you."

After saying that, Wan Xinyu picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. The spicy taste of the liquor mixed with tears went down his throat.

He was reluctant to leave, but escape was not an option. If he went back this time and the situation remained deadlocked like before, he would have to bravely say goodbye to the home that had shackled him.

As for where to go, he already had a plan in mind.

There was a sense of sadness of parting over the Gu family.

Grandma Gu and Shen's mother helped to pack up, and Shen's father secretly gave the small treasury he had accumulated for a long time to Wan Xinyu.

Wan Xinyu refused: "Uncle Shen, I have money."

Father Shen said with a stern face, "Just take it if I tell you to. Don't think I don't know that you have a falling out with your family. If you have any problems in the future, just call home. Don't be embarrassed."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Wan Xinyu couldn't resist and finally accepted the money.

Grandpa Gu, who had a sprained waist, had tears in his eyes when he heard that Wan Xinyu was leaving. He asked someone to call Wan Xinyu to his bedside and said:

"You've been busy taking care of me lately, and you've lost a lot of weight. If that shameless old man forces you to do something you don't like again, just call home and I'll go over to support you. The treasures that our Gu family protects are not something that anyone can bully."

Wan Xinyu said sincerely: "Grandpa Gu, you are so kind to me."

Grandpa Gu blushed shyly after being praised, and his white beard twitched at the corners of his mouth: "Next time you come back, don't forget to give me braised pig intestines to eat."

This guy's skill in braising food is amazing, especially the most inconspicuous pig intestines. Whenever it passes through his hands, it is so delicious that it makes people drool.

"I'll braise more for you next time we meet." Wan Xinyu agreed readily.

He was afraid that the old man would suddenly crave it, so he wrote down the recipe for the braised food and gave it to Grandma Gu. The proportion of each seasoning was accurate to the gram, so that even if he was not around, he could replicate the same taste of braised food.

What Wan Xinyu was most reluctant to leave were the six little kids at home. He stayed by their bed and played with them for a long time.

Shen Yunshu saw the reluctance in Wan Xinyu's eyes and said:

"After a few days, I'll take them to the city to take some photos and send one to you. That way, you can look at them whenever you miss them."

"I'll send you the address then."

Send?Where is Wan Xinyu going? Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Shen Yunshu did not dare to ask more.

Everyone has their own choices, as long as it is the path that suits them.

She hopes that her good friend Wan Xinyu will be successful.

Unexpectedly, the always well-behaved little No. 2 gave Wan Xinyu a big one as a souvenir before he left.

Wan Xinyu was stunned when he saw the yellow, indescribable excrement on his clothes. It was only when Grandma Gu urged him to go to the next room to change clothes that he came to his senses.

Brat, quite naughty...

However, when he met the crescent-shaped smiling eyes of the little second child, he couldn't even feel angry. This child was so cute.

Wan Xinyu changed into clean clothes and came back, holding the little one in his arms and kissing him again and again.

"I'm your uncle, call me uncle."

“Ahhh…”

"……uncle……"

Bang, the little one landed on Wan Xinyu's face with a waving hand. The force was just like a tickle to Wan Xinyu, who had thick skin.

The others in the room were amused. Grandma Gu joked, "How old are they? How can they call uncle? At least they should be two years old before they can call someone uncle."

Mother Gu added, "Jiuyan was late in speaking. I remember he didn't speak until he was three years old. I don't know how old these little ones were when they started talking."

Shen Yunshu exclaimed: "Three years old? That long?"

Mother Gu said: "At that time, he didn't speak for a long time. We were very anxious. We took him to see doctors everywhere, but there was no result. Then on his third birthday, he suddenly called out "Mom", and I felt relieved."

Gu Jiuyan is so stupid...

At night, Shen Yunshu teased Gu Jiuyan about this: "Son, you can't be as stupid as you. I'm still waiting for you to call me mom."

The happiest moment for an old mother raising her children is probably the moment she hears them calling her "Mom". All the suffering and pain she has endured seem to disappear in the face of that word.

"Yeah?"
