Chapter 466: A Man in His Forties



Chen Ying rolled her eyes. "What can you do? You stay here to take care of her and her mother. I'll go back."

"Shuhe will finish eating soon, take a nap."

Gu Shuhe raised his shrunken head and asked, "Have you been awake since last night?"

Shen Tingci raised his hand and touched her head, "Not sleepy!"

Chen Ying said, "It's his first time being a father, and he's very happy."

Gu Shuhe said, "You'd better go to sleep, otherwise you'll ruin your health. I still have to take care of you!"

Shen Tingci “…”

It's a word of concern, but it doesn't seem like a word of concern.

Chen Ying cheerfully replied, "At such a young age..."

Gu Shuhe drank his porridge and said, "I'm not young anymore. I'll be thirty this year."

Shen Tingci “…”

Chen Ying: “…”

Chen Ying looked at her son and then at her daughter-in-law.

My son is not old, he is in his prime, but...

Chen Ying quickly tried to smooth things over for her son, saying, "A man is in his prime at 41."

"Pfft," Gu Shuhe couldn't help laughing when he heard it, "My eldest brother-in-law became a grandfather a few years ago when he was just over 40. He's nothing like a flower!"

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Shen Tingci, "If he gets married earlier, he will become a grandfather by then."

Chen Ying: “…”

Seeing that Chen Ying was about to say something, Shen Tingci said, "Go back now and see if you can buy some fresh vegetables."

He didn't dare let his mother talk to his wife, otherwise her words would hurt him deeply.

Shen Tingci wanted to drive his mother away first, but Shuhe thought it was too hasty, "I haven't even finished eating yet!"

"If you want to stew the soup, you need to prepare it early. You can eat it slowly. I will take the lunch box back." Chen Ying was not going to continue talking to her daughter-in-law.

If I continue talking immediately, my son will be worthless.

The second son has been exploited to the point where he is worthless. I can't just watch my eldest son become worthless too.

Chen Ying was about to leave, so Gu Shuhe quickly drank the last bit of porridge.

Then Chen Ying took both lunch boxes away.

After Chen Ying left, around ten o'clock, the child started crying again.

This time, he kept crying even after his diaper was changed.

Shen Tingci took the child to the doctor and asked, and the doctor said, "The child must be hungry. Does the mother have breast milk?"

"If not, give me some water first!"

"Then let the child breathe more."

Shen Tingci took the child back.

After entering the ward, the child was still crying. Gu Shuhe asked, "What did the doctor say?"

Shen Tingci’s face flushed all of a sudden.

He turned around and closed the ward door, then locked it from the inside before stumbling over it, "...Child, I'm hungry, hungry."

"I'm hungry..." Gu Shuhe murmured, blushing.

"Then I feed you?"

"Um!"

Shen Tingci held the child over. Gu Shuhe looked at him and was embarrassed to lift his clothes, so Shen Tingci quickly turned his face away.

After a while, Shen Tingci asked, "Is there any breast milk?"

"If that doesn't work, I'll go get some milk powder."

Gu Shuhe looked at the child who had already eaten, "It seems so!"

"Look!"

Shen Tingci blushed even more, but turned around.

——

The child was still too young, and not long after Shen Tingci turned around, the child had already eaten and fell asleep again.

Shen Tingci put the child in the crib, and then filled some hot water to help Gu Shuhe wipe his body. At this time, both of them tacitly kept silent.

After that, until Chen Ying came, one sat on the bed and the other sat on the chair, without making a sound.

Only after Chen Ying arrived did the two gradually return to normal.

At night, Shen Tingci was still there to accompany her.

The next morning, Chen Ying came early. After Shen Tingci waited for her to come, he went home, took the red eggs she cooked, and went to Gu's house.

Only Lin Liansheng was at home in the Gu family.

When he saw the red eggs that Shen Tingci had sent over, he knew that Gu Shuhe had given birth, and he quickly asked, "When did you give birth?"

"The night before last, in the middle of the night."

"I was delayed yesterday and didn't have time to come here, so I came here today."

Lin Liansheng nodded to show his understanding.

He asked Shen Tingci to sit down and drink some tea, but Shen Tingci didn't drink it. "Shu He and the child are still in the hospital, so I won't drink the tea. Come back later when I have time."

Lin Liansheng didn't try to keep anyone else, "Okay, drive slowly on the road."

As soon as Shen Tingci left, Lin Liansheng went to ask Xu Zhongguo for help to send a telegram to the town.

But when I got to Xu Zhongguo's house, there was no one there.

Lin Liansheng had no choice but to go back first.

At noon, during the lunch break, Lin Liansheng was telling Wu Guifang, who had just returned home, to tell Xu Zhongguo to accompany him to send a telegram, when he heard Xu Zhongguo's voice.

Xu Zhongguo was riding his bicycle, making a clanging sound, and he started shouting "Liansheng, Liansheng..." from a distance.

Lin Liansheng looked in the direction of the voice, took two steps forward, and said to Xu Zhongguo with a smile, "I was just telling Guifang that I'd have to trouble you to come this afternoon. Shuhe has given birth. Dad and the others told me when they left that they would send them a telegram after Shuhe's birth."

"I've never done this before, and I don't know how to do it. I thought I'd ask you to take me there."

Xu Zhongguo panted and nodded, "Okay!"

"Will Yan Li's wife come back with us?" Xu Zhongguo asked again.

"Well, come back. We will definitely come back together then."

"That's perfect, I can finally get this resolved." Xu Zhongguo sighed, "I feel uncomfortable every day if the Lin Guangqian family doesn't find something to do for me."

As Xu Zhongguo was speaking, he took Qiu Yuefang and her group to the commune to complain, saying that Wen Tang abused his power for personal gain, and that the soap belonged to the entire Xiangxing Brigade, but none of Qiu Yuefang's families (Luo Tian coaxed them into dividing the family home after the New Year) had touched any of the work.
