Chapter 292 Little Duoduo's "Luxury Goods"
This was the first time Shen Shen had shown such a violent side, which startled Old Lady Tu, and the room fell silent for a moment.
Tu Xiaoqi was also startled by him, and after a long pause, she gently tugged at his sleeve: "Old Shen..."
After venting his anger, Shen Shen regained his composure and forced a smile at Tu Xiaoqi: "I'll go back to my office first; I have some things to take care of." With that, he hurriedly left.
Actually, what else was there to deal with? He just didn't want to face this mess.
Pei Jiuyan would certainly not let the person who harmed his wife get away with it.
Ah Shao is already 14 years old, and he intentionally harmed a military family member and caused injury, so he will bear legal responsibility. If it weren't for Qin Suisui's excellent medical skills, there would be two lives lost! That would be intentional homicide!
So Ah Shao was taken away that very night, and he'll probably have to spend the rest of his life in a farm for reform through labor.
Gangzi and his wife's pleas for mercy failed, so they turned to Shen Shen, who was their only hope.
But will Shen Shen help them?
Shen Shen hated them to death. He had finally gotten out of the shadow of his ex-wife's affair, and the organization had just given him an important position. His work was finally getting back on track, and now this had happened! He didn't even know when he would be reinstated!
Since Shen Shen didn't help, Gangzi's family broke through all defenses and started making a scene right there in the family compound, disturbing the peace of the neighboring families.
Qin Suisui was naturally unaware of the farce unfolding on their end. She had a cesarean section and was discharged from the hospital after five days of observation.
However, her body was quite damaged, and with the insistence of Liu Qianyun and Hua Qing, she would need to rest for at least two months after giving birth.
Fortunately, she didn't have to worry about things at home; all she had to do each day was eat, sleep, and feed Xiaoduo.
But breastfeeding is no easy task. The baby needs to nurse almost every two hours, and Qin Suisui isn't getting enough rest. Her hair is falling out in clumps, and she has to constantly drink various nourishing soups, otherwise her milk supply won't be sufficient. Sometimes the baby's feeding posture is incorrect, causing Qin Suisui to bite and grimace...
Pei Jiuyan couldn't bear to see his wife suffer like that, so he actually went to the city and bought imported milk powder.
However, the milk powder of this era was not specially formulated for infants. Little Duoduo couldn't digest it, so she vomited a lot of milk and her stool was full of milk curds.
Hua Qing and Liu Qianyun were heartbroken and scolded Pei Jiuyan for doing something inhuman.
Qin Suisui was heartbroken. After all, it was her daughter whom she had risked her life for. She still insisted on getting up every night to breastfeed her, even if it meant sleeping more during the day.
Hua Qing and Liu Qianyun took care of her here for more than a week before reluctantly leaving.
After they left, Pei Jiuyan immediately applied for leave. All his miscellaneous leave added up to more than a month.
Since becoming a big brother, Zan Zan has become more sensible. He no longer needs adults to pick him up and drop him off every day. He gets up early to touch his little sister's face, covers her with a blanket, and then goes downstairs to eat breakfast and go to school with the other children in the yard.
Every Wednesday at noon, he would save the milk that the kindergarten gave out for Qin Suisui to "supplement her nutrition."
Qin Suisui was both amused and exasperated. She had plenty of milk in her own space, but she didn't want to disappoint the little guy's good intentions. She could only remind him not to bring it next time. Zan Zan agreed, but said that he would still bring her back whatever delicious food he sent next time.
When their daughter, Xiaoduoduo, turned three months old at the end of December, Song Yunlai and Su Yunyi finally tied the knot and got their marriage certificate. Song's mother and her three older sisters were all very busy with work at the end of the year and couldn't find the time to congratulate them from afar, so they could only call to send their congratulations.
Su Yunyi's mother did come over, but she was busy with work and only stayed for three days. During that time, she made a special trip to see Qin Suisui and Xiao Duoduo, and even brought Xiao Duoduo two clothes that she had embroidered herself. Qin Suisui and the others only realized after they left that, wow, the embroidery on Xiao Duoduo's clothes was Su embroidery!
This young girl is already wearing "luxury" clothes at such a young age.
Thinking of this, Qin Suisui suddenly had a whim and went to check Xiao Duoduo's current "assets" again.
When she was born, Liu Qianyun and Pei Huoshan gave her a pure gold longevity lock, a pair of gold bracelets, and 800 yuan, saying it was to thank her for the hard work of giving birth to Duoduo.
Her parents also gave her a gold necklace, as well as tiger-head shoes and a baby swaddle blanket that Hua Qing sewed herself.
Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai specifically requested to be the child's godfathers. Chi Donglin took a stone he had bought with Qin Suisui and the others during a gambling trip and had a master craftsman make a jade safety buckle, hoping that Duoduo would have a peaceful and prosperous life. Song Yunlai gave her a small gold-inlaid jade pendant, symbolizing a house full of gold and jade.
Master and senior brother gave Xiaoduo a sandalwood safety lock, which she should wear when going out and hang above her bed when not going out to ward off evil spirits. There was also a teak cradle and a teak stroller made by Paman himself.
Sun Ruwen went even further. It was unclear whether it was because he had connected with Zhang Mingzhu that his black market business had recently taken off. He directly gifted Duoduo a three-piece set: a longevity lock, a safety buckle, and a gold bracelet, along with an extremely valuable gilded pocket watch. Qin Suisui was stunned and dared not accept it.
Sun Ruwen, however, insisted that what he, as her uncle, had given her was not enough, and that he would immediately send any good stuff he found on the black market to Xiao Duoduo.
Of course, during this time, Qin Suisui also received a constant supply of tonics such as fish maw and bird's nest. He would bring some over every few days, urging Qin Suisui to eat as much as she wanted and not to skimp on his money. As a result, Qin Suisui gained eight pounds during her month-long confinement period!
Besides these "hard currencies," there were also more than a dozen baby clothes made by Su Yunyi herself. Some were pure cotton, and some were silk. Each garment was embroidered with cute patterns, making everyone speechless at first glance. Qin Suisui didn't have to worry about Duoduo's clothes; Su Yunyi took care of almost everything.
Jia Zhenzhen and Chen Zheng also gave Duoduo a silver bracelet and a wooden cradle.
Aunt Tang also specially sewed a patchwork quilt for Xiao Duoduo, symbolizing peace and good fortune.
Other women in the family compound, as well as acquaintances from the lower brigades, such as Mai Defu's family, Grandma Mai, and Wen Lian, also brought clothes, diapers, and other supplies for the child. They also brought Qin Suisui a lot of food.
Since that incident, Tu Xiaoqi has completely severed ties with Old Lady Tu. After Qin Suisui returned home from the hospital, she came over almost every day to deliver stewed soup.
Soups like fish maw and pigeon soup, five-finger peach and free-range chicken soup, dried sandworm and chicken soup, angelica and astragalus black-boned chicken soup, pig's feet soup... are all local tonic soups from their hometown.
Some of the ingredients in these soups are very expensive, things that Tu Xiaoqi herself wouldn't normally buy, but when she thought about it being for Qin Suisui to nourish her body, she spent the money without batting an eye.
Qin Suisui knew that she felt guilty, but she also knew that this matter actually had nothing to do with Tu Xiaoqi.
But if she doesn't accept Tu Xiaoqi's kindness, who knows how much internal strife this girl will cause.
Fortunately, Palon had also seen these nourishing soups, and they were indeed helpful for someone like her who had suffered a great loss of energy and blood after a cesarean section.
As the Lunar New Year approaches once again, the family compound becomes exceptionally lively because Su Yunyi and Song Yunlai are officially moving in.
