Chapter 564 The Early-Death Bystander in the Reborn Mother-in-Law Novel (32)

In October, Bai Ze finally returned, bringing with him several new technologies that took some time to rationalize. He also brought back a lot of milk powder. Well, if you're not pregnant, don't even think about breastfeeding. This milk powder isn't ordinary milk powder; it's comparable to breast milk, and in some ways, even better.

After seeing Bai Ze busy taking care of Jiang Yue, Jiang's mother lost all her anger towards him and became the good mother-in-law she always was.

After Bai Ze returned, Jiang Yue went back to live in the compound. Bai Ze would pick her up and drop her off every day. Whenever Jiang's mother and the others missed her, or whenever she missed them, they would bring her over to stay for a few days.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't leave her home, Jiang's mother would have liked to come and live with her. However, everyone in her family is at work or school, and it would be too tiring for her to take care of everything by herself. This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Yue moved here. Although Jiang Yue's pregnancy was fake, Jiang's mother didn't know that and took care of her as if it were real. Even though Jiang Yue had less to do, Jiang's mother looked quite haggard after a few months.

Two months have passed since we moved to the compound, and now it's the end of December, about a month before the Chinese New Year. The station has been quite busy during this time.

The end of the year is always like this, but because Jiang Yue is pregnant, her work has become much easier. Several of her dining companions have helped her with a lot of the work, and Bai Ze even bought some gifts and went to their homes to express his gratitude.

With only ten days left until the Lunar New Year in mid-January, the station's welfare benefits were distributed. This year's benefits were even better than in previous years. A lot of New Year's goods were prepared this year. Jiang Yue also sent a lot to her parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents, all of which were brought back by Bai Ze. He also sent a lot to other people. He was the one who developed these relationships, so Jiang Yue didn't need to get to know them; there was no need for it.

On the day before the Lunar New Year, Jiang Yue brought Bai Ze home. Jiang's mother had already started preparing the dumpling fillings. She prepared quite a few kinds: pork and cabbage, chives and eggs, and three-delicacy filling. Jiang's mother also said that life has indeed improved a lot in recent years. Unlike before, when a pork crackling and cabbage filling was considered quite good.

After staying at her parents' house for a day, Jiang Yue returned to her own home the next day. Bai Ze was busy for a few days during the Chinese New Year, and with people coming and going, it was difficult to use the puppet. So, Jiang's mother and three children came with her, leaving her sister-in-law to take care of her father and eldest brother at home.

There was a day off in the middle, so I delivered the New Year's gifts to my grandparents. Jiang Yue was heavily pregnant and didn't run around during the New Year. The road back to the village was difficult to walk, as my grandparents knew. Just like my sister-in-law did back then, my grandparents caught two hens for me, so I could eat the eggs and make chicken soup.

Jiang's mother wasn't bored at all, spending time with Jiang Yue and the other children. They were always out playing, only coming back for meals. Jiang Ze also had Bai Ze tutoring him in the evenings, so he didn't fall behind in his studies.

On New Year's Eve, Jiang's father, elder brother, and sister-in-law all came over. They didn't want Jiang Yue to go through too much trouble; as long as the family was together, it didn't matter where they spent the New Year.

The kitchen here is much bigger, so cooking is much faster than at the old house. Also, the dishes this year are much more plentiful than in previous years. Life is getting better and better.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang's mother stayed at home with Jiang Yue, while everyone else went to their grandmother's house. The only time everyone could be together all year was during the Lunar New Year. This year, because of Jiang Yue, they came back in the evening and did not stay overnight.

When they got off the bus, each of them was carrying a large package. These were small clothes that Grandma, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, and Eldest Aunt had made for the children. They were originally supposed to bring them over when they came in a few days, but Bai Ye had a car, so he asked him to bring the things back first, and they could come over later.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Ze took Jiang Ma to her maternal grandparents' house. When he came back, he brought back a bunch of things, all for the children.

Two days later, her second uncle and aunt came to visit. Jiang Yue let them stay for a few days. Anyway, the house was big and there wasn't much work to do during the New Year. But they didn't stay for nothing. They took over the cleaning duties that Kuilei was supposed to do and cleaned the whole place. Jiang Yue couldn't stop them.

January ended and February arrived. Jiang Yue took maternity leave, and her due date was just a few days away. Jiang's mother had been staying at home for half a month, just in case something happened and Bai Ze panicked and couldn't handle it. Her sister-in-law also came to check on her every few days. The family was also worried.

On February 8th, Jiang Yue gave birth. After entering the delivery room, Jiang Yue asked Bai Ze to set up the illusion array. After the child was born, Jiang Yue had the puppet bring the child up. At this point, the year-long disguise was about to end. Jiang Yue asked Bai Ze to check carefully, so that they wouldn't end up opening champagne halfway through.

"Mother and baby are safe and sound. The baby weighs 6 pounds and 8 ounces."

Hearing the nurse say this, the people outside finally smiled. Bai Ze distributed the gifts he had brought to everyone, especially the medical staff, and gave them very generous gifts. He felt he should apologize to them for not giving them something.

Because of Bai Ze's insistence, Jiang Yue stayed in the hospital for a week before returning home. After returning home, her mother took care of her during her postpartum period. After the baby was a month old, the name was chosen: Bai Qixian. "Qi" means to enlighten and open wisdom, and "Xian" represents virtue and ability. It is hoped that the child will be wise, virtuous, and of noble character.

We had a simple celebration for the baby's one-month birthday. These days, there's no custom of having a big celebration. The family just had a simple meal and that was it. There were quite a few people who came to give gifts, though. After all, Bai Ze's business in the mainland is growing, and he can't avoid dealing with people.

"Mom, I want to eat wontons tomorrow morning, with extra vinegar and chili."

Now that Jiang Yue had officially finished her postpartum confinement, she started ordering meals. The most unacceptable thing about the fake pregnancy for Jiang Yue was probably the diet. She couldn't eat many things, which was quite difficult. She had to secretly eat extra meals when no one was around.

"Okay! I'll make it for you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mom!!"

"Nonsense, come here, hold the baby, I'll go check if there's enough food in the fridge."

"oh."

The next morning, Jiang Yue finally got to eat the wontons she wanted. After breakfast, she went out for a stroll, but not long after, her mother called her back to the room. She said that since she had just finished her postpartum period, the weather outside was still cold, and she shouldn't wander around aimlessly to avoid headaches later.

While Jiang Yue was still thinking about what to eat at noon, an unexpected person came to her house.

"Sister Zhang?! Why are you back? When did you get back?"

"Xiao Jiang!! Ugh, don't even mention it! We rushed to make it to the baby's one-month celebration, but we were still a day late." She glared at the man and child next to her as she spoke.

"If you missed it, you missed it. It's alright. Oh dear, my brain is fuming. Brother-in-law, Xiaojun, and Xiaodang, please sit down!"

"Xiaobai, go get the child some food."

"good."

"Stop making a fuss, I just ate something before I left."

"It's okay, they're just snacks."

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and had so much to talk about. Holding her child, Sister Zhang whispered to Jiang Yue, "Your child is so beautiful. When I had my second child, he was so ugly that I didn't even want him anymore."
