The next day, Han Shuyun and Xiao Shi brought food to the hospital. It was a postpartum meal prepared by Xue Chenhao based on the menu given by Guagua.
"Shishi, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
"It's okay, I can eat and drink. It's just that my son won't let me get out of bed. He has to carry me to the toilet, and I can only wash my hands with a hot towel. I can't stand it."
"I've decided to stop having children. Four kids are enough. I'm already number one in having children among the wives from the island."
While drinking chicken soup, Shishi announced her grand plan, which made Han Shuyun laugh heartily.
That's right, your two pregnancies are equivalent to other people's four pregnancies. Who can outgrow you in terms of childbirth?
However, since the young couple has a good relationship and is in good health, it's not certain that the pregnancy can be prevented unless one of them undergoes sterilization.
Getting sterilized is never good for your health, so it's better to just let nature take its course.
Unbeknownst to her, Xie Lin had undergone sterilization surgery while Shi Shi was giving birth, and then had Chou Chou repair his wound to ensure that there would be no cases of unprotected babies escaping the net.
In this lifetime, he and Shishi only had four children: the sixth and seventh children.
Zhang Tong knew about it and respected his decision.
A mother is happy to see her daughter, who is her own, and her son-in-law dotes on her and doesn't want her to suffer.
Xie Lin listened with a smile as the child's mother complained about herself. He took the soup bowl from her hand and put the deboned fish meat into her rice bowl.
"Shishi, don't drink too much soup. Eat rice and vegetables first. If you're full, you won't be able to eat anything else."
"Okay, I don't want any more soup, Mom. Why don't you take a bowl to Duoduo?"
Zhang Tong was changing diapers for Da Qi and Xiao Qi, while Da Liu and Xiao Liu volunteered to help.
"Mom, let's go deliver it."
The teacher said she would accompany them.
"Okay, go ahead, and invite Uncle Ugly over for dinner while you're at it."
The two little ones carried a thermos in front, with the little teacher following behind. The three of them happily delivered the soup with love.
When they returned, the woman from the next ward was happily blocking the doorway with a lunchbox, so they waited outside because they couldn't get in.
"Zhang Meizi, I smell chicken soup. Your family brought chicken soup today, right? Can I have a bowl?"
“My daughter couldn’t wait to smell it yesterday. Her water broke and she’s about to give birth. I can’t leave to go back and make her some soup. Drinking a bowl of soup will give her the strength to give birth.”
Zhang Tong told the truth: "We brought chicken soup with us, but we've already given it all away, so we can't share it with you."
"It's all gone? That's impossible. Didn't we just arrive? There was fish and meat, and we're all so familiar with each other. It's just a bowl of soup."
The woman's eyes were glued to the food on the table. She couldn't help but swallow several times, and her voice unconsciously grew louder. She simply didn't believe it and assumed that the man was unwilling to give it to her.
Zhang Tong's expression wasn't good; it turned out he was eyeing their family's meals.
They talk as if they know each other well, but we're just strangers who met by chance and chatted casually.
Her face turned cold.
"Sorry, we've really finished dividing it up. There are a lot of us, so it's only enough for half a bowl each."
"It's just on the table, you can see it. There's really no extra. If your daughter wants some, she can just go to the cafeteria to buy it."
The policy changed at the end of the year, and now the food in government canteens has changed. She has eaten at the hospital canteen, and it's much better than what ordinary families eat.
A month ago, Shishi took over the cafeteria at Peking University, which was managed by Nannan's parents, and the menu was designed by Guagua.
Xue Chenhao also trained the staff in the cafeteria for a period of time, and the food was very good.
Nannan's mother told her that the cafeteria, which had changed its menu and flavors, was very popular. She knew all too well that if it didn't change, it would be squeezed out by its competitors sooner or later.
So, it's just a bowl of meat soup, which can be bought in canteens and state-run restaurants.
The woman looked displeased, wishing she could take all the food away. She muttered "stingy" and turned to leave with the lunchbox in her arms.
He scoffed when he saw the little brat behind him.
"What's the point of a loser drinking chicken soup? Humph."
She thought her voice was very soft, but little did she know that there were more people who heard her than could be counted on one hand.
"Mom, that person isn't a good person. Don't talk to her anymore, and don't let her into our room again," Xie Lin reminded Zhang Tong.
He had actually noticed long ago that the woman's intentions were not quite right, but he didn't pay much attention to it because he thought he wouldn't see her again after being discharged from the hospital.
Shishi's ward was a double room. Since wards weren't in short supply, Dr. Tao arranged for the whole room to avoid disturbing her from other patients and to make it easier for Zhang Tong to take care of her.
This was an arrangement that had been discussed with the dean.
Xie Lin and his two daughters, along with Chou Chou and Gua Gua, were also present during the delivery, so two folding beds were set up. Gua Gua didn't need to sleep in them, and the four beds were enough for the whole family to squeeze into.
Zhang Tong nodded, "I thought she was a good mother and a person of good character because she seemed to love her daughter very much. I was wrong."
"Don't worry, I won't let her in from now on."
After dinner, Han Shuyun went back home alone to take care of the baby, while Xiao Shi stayed behind to look after the child.
She returned less than ten minutes later, her eyes red.
"Shuyun, what's wrong? What happened?" Zhang Tong asked.
Xie Lingang pushed Shishi to go for a check-up with the doctor, leaving only Zhang Tong, Guagua, and the children in the room.
The six children are playing with their younger brother who has just woken up.
Han Shuyun quickly closed the door to block the view from outside.
She was very angry and wanted to yell at him, but she could only lower her voice.
"I just saw the woman who asked for soup in the small garden downstairs. She was arguing with a man."
"This matter originally had nothing to do with me, but when I heard her talking about how stingy people wouldn't give me chicken soup, I slowed down and quietly turned behind a tree to listen."
