Chapter 340: A Visit from My Mother's Family



Several elders who were chatting together heard the two of them learning the child's name.

Only then did I remember that they didn't even know whether it was a boy or a girl.

"My dear wife from Tsinghua and Peking University, is the baby a boy or a girl?"

"The boy's full name is Gu Chaoyan, and his nickname is Mobao, which means "ink".

I just hope he will study hard when he grows up and have more knowledge in his head."

This made everyone laugh.

"Look at what you said, based on your and his father's genes, this kid will grow up to be extraordinary.

He should also pass the college entrance examination like his mother did. Our Gu family is so promising to have two college graduates."

"That's right. Maybe he'll become an officer in the future like his father and grandfather. He definitely can't be buried in our countryside."

Jiang Mengxue was really worried about Mo Bao.

Everyone has high hopes for him as he was just born. If he doesn’t develop as expected in the future, no one knows what others will say.

But as a mother, she doesn't expect her child to be very successful, she just wants him to grow up healthy and happy.

Aren’t all the resources accumulated by them as parents his?

If he has ideals, ambitions and is willing to work hard, they will do their best to cultivate him.

But if he is content with what he has and only wants to eat, drink and live happily all his life, his parents will support his decision.

Gu Yuyan sat beside Xiao Mobao, touching his little face and his little hands.

Wang Daya and Zhang Qiuju also knew that the child was still young, so they did not suggest holding the child.

Jiang Mengxue breathed a sigh of relief. The baby was still young and she didn't want him to be carried around by others.

I don’t like elders holding children’s faces and kissing them, especially on the mouths.

No matter how embarrassed she was, she firmly refused for the sake of her child.

Many bacteria in adults' mouths are inadvertently transmitted to children.

Especially mouth-to-mouth kisses, or chewing the food into pieces before feeding it.

Jiang Mengxue could not accept this no matter what.

They sat for a while and then left. The meal was ready in the kitchen, so Li Cuiying invited them to stay for dinner.

But no matter how Li Cuiying and the others tried to persuade her to stay, Zhang Qiuju insisted on taking Gu Yuyan back.

They all came after dinner, and left when I saw they were about to eat.

Wang Daya also went back, saying that she had not finished the work on her own private plot. There was no way Li Cuiying could keep her.

Jiang Mengxue was in confinement because there were many people at home.

If anything happens to the child, she basically doesn't need to do anything.

Even at night, Gu Qingbei was the one who got up to work.

If Jiang Mengxue slept deeply, Gu Qingbei would feed her with milk powder prepared in the space at the right temperature.

So Jiang Mengxue took good care of her body during the confinement period. Li Cuiying said that the best confinement period was forty days, since there was nothing much to do at home anyway.

They don't have to go to work. If there is anything at the health center, they can just come to Jiang Mengxue's house.

The Jiang family arrived three days after Jiang Mengxue returned.

Jiang's mother brought Jiang's wife and several children to the family.

Mrs. Jiang Er and Mrs. Jiang San are now eight months pregnant, but they stopped having their periods when the period got further along.

There are also Aunt Jiang and Aunt Jiang, two aunts' families, and two uncles' families.

Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, and Gu Qingbei's aunt Gu Meilin all came together today.

Knowing they were coming, the Gu family planned to host a banquet for the guests today and not hold a full-moon party.

Including the relatives from the Gu family, there were eight tables in total.

The tables are not big, they are all square tables borrowed from other houses, and they cannot seat as many people as the round tables.

Jiang Mengxue got up early in the morning, gave Xiao Mobao a bath, applied some anti-powder on him, and put a red bellyband on him.

There is also a touch of red on the forehead, and the chubby little face is so cute.

After feeding him milk powder and changing his diaper, it’s time for everyone to take turns holding him.

The Jiang family arrived around nine o'clock. There were many people and a lot of things, so they borrowed the team's ox cart.

Although he knew that the weather outside was quite hot and there was not much wind, Gu Qingbei still did not let Jiang Mengxue go out.

Jiang Mengxue could only take out some candies and snacks prepared by Gu Qingbei and put them in the house to entertain the guests.

When the person arrived, Luan Huiying immediately invited them into the house.

This was the first time that the in-laws met. The last time Luan Huiying came back, the two families didn't get together.

After returning, Luan Huiying asked Gu Zhenhai to tell her that she should invite her in-laws to dinner. After all, she didn't go back often, so she should go and see them.

But Luan Huiying really didn't expect this.

Jiang Mengxue felt that there was no need for that. The in-laws didn't meet very often, so there was really no need to go out of their way to meet. If anything came up, she and Gu Qingbei would naturally handle it.

"Father, mother, sister-in-law."

The relatives behind also followed in, and Jiang Mengxue and Gu Qingbei called them one by one.

Gu Qingbei didn’t know many of them. Although they all came to the wedding, they were busy that day and came back after picking up the bride. He didn’t have a formal acquaintance with these relatives.

But they all knew Gu Qingbei. After all, he was the protagonist of the wedding. No matter who they knew, they had to know him.

"Why are you wearing short sleeves, kid? Change into long-sleeved clothes, otherwise your joints will hurt in the future."

As soon as Jiang's mother came in, she noticed that Jiang Mengxue was wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

In the minds of the older generation, women should wrap themselves tightly during confinement and exposing their arms is not allowed.

But Jiang Mengxue felt that it was enough. If she wore too much, the heat would be more troublesome.

"It's okay. I'm not going out. I've been staying in the house since I came back. I eat and do everything else on the kang. What are you afraid of?"
