This postpartum period was very easy. After the full moon, Song Yan found that her body had recovered a lot.
The day after the full moon, Wei Aiguo returned from his holiday.
My friends have all come.
Especially today, Mr. and Mrs. Song and Song Jun's family of three came.
Neighbors who saw his family coming and going all said that the Wei family was very generous; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to afford to feed so many people.
Mr. and Mrs. Song came by train, so let them rest. The rest of the women are busy in the kitchen.
Several tables were set up in the main room, all of which were borrowed from the neighbors.
General Shen arrived on the day Song Yan gave birth, but he didn't visit the child for a whole month.
Is he busy with work? Actually, it's quite nice that he came to sit for a while today.
Song Yan quietly pulled Wei Aiguo aside and asked him what to do about General Shen.
Wei Aiguo knew that Lao Zeng must have scolded Shen Changchuan that day.
He seemed a bit... when he left.
But it was just a scolding; he'd heard that Old Zeng used to scold Shen Changchuan all the time.
Wei Aiguo: "Why don't you ask Ruomei to inquire?"
Song Yan asked Shen Ruomei if her father was very busy and if he had time to come today.
Shen Ruomei wanted to say that her father wasn't busy right now. He kept asking about the child whenever he saw her. But subconsciously, she swallowed her words, feeling that her father wouldn't want to talk about it.
Shen Ruomei: "I'm going to call my dad!" Shen Ruomei ran out to make the call.
Song Yan had told her parents about Wei Aiguo's background before, and knew that they interacted like relatives and friends, but they had not acknowledged each other.
Shen Changchuan and Secretary Fang arrived just as it was time to eat, and everyone introduced themselves to each other.
Avoiding the topic of Wei Aiguo's background, it was quite nice for them to sit together and chat like friends. Shen Changchuan also appeared very calm.
It was only when the child was brought over for everyone to see that his eyes were glued to the baby and couldn't look away that his true intentions were revealed.
However, he didn't stay long and was the first to leave after finishing his meal.
Secretary Fang knew that Song Yan had some unpleasantness when she gave birth, but what could have made Shen Changchuan so... unsure of himself?
It was clear that Shen Changchuan really liked the two children, but he didn't reach out to hold them. Even when Yueyue came over, he held her hand, not carried her.
Old Zeng also figured it out.
He was indeed very angry that day. Afterwards, Wei Aiguo said that Song Yan was just a little angry, but the child was born normally.
After calming down, Lao Zeng's anger subsided.
He sighed as well, knowing full well that Shen Changchuan's father was a muddle-headed man.
Seeing Shen Changchuan so reserved, he also felt uncomfortable.
Moreover, Song Yan noticed that his third aunt had stopped going to the library these days.
She previously said she would stay home to help take care of the children.
Yueyue can dress herself and feed herself now. Every day, she rests her chin on her hand, lies on the bed, and watches her younger brother.
The two children don't cry much.
If they cry, Yueyue will laugh at them, saying, "Look how disobedient your little brother is, crying like this."
Then she went to find her great-grandfather.
The two of them went for a happy stroll. Yueyue would run off to find Gu San'er again. Often, she would follow Gu San'er around, exchanging things.
Grandpa said these things might be valuable. Yueyue said she would save them all.
So that I can find wives for my two younger brothers.
Actually, Yueyue didn't know anything about what a wife was; she just learned it from listening to these old ladies gossiping.
Yueyue doesn't need her aunt to look after her. As for the two little ones, they eat and sleep, and sleep and eat again. Wang Wenli can do all the chores except for breastfeeding.
Di Minxia helps with the other household chores.
When Song Yan asked her third aunt again, she was told that the library cards had all been returned.
Song Yan was genuinely puzzled; someone who loved reading so much would actually return their library card.
Auntie San now has plenty of time to accompany Song's parents on their travels around Kyoto. Song Yan's younger brother, Song Erbao, has also broadened his horizons along the way.
Shen Changchuan now knows about this as well.
His old comrade-in-arms, Director Xie, was standing in front of him, looking like a primary school student making a self-criticism.
"...I recently discovered that Comrade Liu hasn't been coming to read books."
Comrade Liu had a striking scholarly air about her, and she spoke very politely. Everyone noticed that her handwriting was exceptionally beautiful when she took notes. The staff all remembered her.
I asked casually, and everyone immediately knew who I was referring to: she had returned her library card.
When I checked, it turned out to be a refund from half a month ago.
That woman really loves reading. The fact that she suddenly returned her library card is definitely my fault for talking so much…
Shen Changchuan rubbed his temples in frustration; he also felt the situation had become somewhat awkward. He hadn't expected Song Yan's third aunt to return the library card.
He really can't even help with this small favor.
Director Xie glanced at his old comrade's expression. "I'd like to bring something to apologize in person, is that alright?"
"Can't you just shut up? You know you're asking for trouble, right?"
"From today onwards, don't mention this matter again. Otherwise, gossip will spread and it won't be good for that woman." Shen Changchuan wasn't exactly embarrassed, because he would try to go less often in the future, and the chances of running into her were slim.
He had intended to mention to his daughter that the man surnamed Qi was harassing Song Yan's third aunt. But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he didn't say anything. They were adults; they knew what to do. He shouldn't get involved.
"Alright, you can go now. Don't cause any more trouble!"
Old Xie ran into Secretary Fang as soon as he went out. Secretary Fang asked him what was wrong. Old Xie thought for a moment but didn't dare to say anything. "Forget it, it's all my fault for being so talkative. Don't be so talkative again."
