"You have no idea, he was terrified when he didn't hear your voice all night. He was sweating so much that his clothes are still wet."
Xu Yan tried to pull her hand back to touch Xie Zhuo's clothes, but Xie Zhuo held her hand and she couldn't pull it away.
“It’s all good now that the baby is born,” Chen Lihua said. “Your baby is in the right position, everything is normal, and it was a natural birth. As long as you take good care of yourself during your postpartum period, you will recover quickly.”
Xu Yan then remembered to go see the child.
“Come here, take a look,” Chen Lihua carried the child to the bedside, her face full of smiles, “He looks exactly like you when you were little.”
Xu Yan looked at the wrinkled baby and the smile on her face vanished.
The baby, who was nursing, probably sensed the mother's emotions and started crying while still holding the bottle.
The ward was immediately thrown into chaos.
Xu Yan was supposed to be accompanied by Chen Lihua during her postpartum period, but Xie Zhuo was still worried. For the entire month, except for some meetings that he had to attend, he hardly left the house.
By the time Xu Yan finished her postpartum confinement, he had gone from being too afraid to hold the baby to being very skilled at changing diapers.
Yan Dan visited Xu Yan several times, but didn't speak to Xu Shu for two days after returning home.
Xu Shu also felt a little wronged. His situation back then was completely different from Xie Zhuo's situation now. He was working in the factory at the time and had no way to ask for such a long leave.
Unlike Xie Zhuo, who is his own boss and can take a vacation whenever he wants.
If he wasn't afraid of the company going bankrupt, no one would say anything if he didn't go to work for a year.
The little princess was born on the fifth day of the eleventh lunar month. Xu Yan gave her a very simple nickname, Xiao Wu, but Lin Dong insisted on calling her Sanbao.
“You are the third treasure of our family,” Xu Yan said. “She doesn’t even come close to being number three.”
“Calling it Four Treasures doesn’t sound good either,” Lin Dong frowned. “Let’s call it Three Treasures, and I’ll be the Big Treasure.”
The phrase "Da Da Bao" made Xu Yan laugh for a long time. "Okay, call me whatever you want."
Xiao Wu's full name is Xie Muchen, given to her by Xie Zhuo. He said that the child was born bathed in the morning light and love at dawn, so he chose this name, hoping that her future life would be smooth and peaceful.
Xu Yan had no objections, as long as it wasn't a name that reflected the era, like Su Fen or Xiu Hua, she was fine with it.
When Xiao Wu turned one month old, Chen Lihua and the others came over, and everyone held a one-month celebration for her while she was still in swaddling clothes.
Liu Mancang is not married yet, but he already has a girlfriend, a girl from City B. The two of them came together and gave Xiao Wu a longevity lock.
Zhao Jisheng was in Hong Kong and couldn't make it over, but he sent a gift through someone: a pair of finely crafted silver bracelets.
Yan Dan held the baby tightly, finding him more and more adorable. In just one month, the wrinkled little baby had grown a bit, and his big, grape-like eyes blinked as he looked at people, truly melting their hearts.
Xu Shu leaned over and teased his little niece for a bit, then lowered his voice and said to Yan Dan, "If you like, let's have another baby girl for Nannan?"
Yan Dan glared at him. "If you're so capable, say those words again in front of your daughter later."
Xu Shu shut his mouth.
He was just teasing Yan Dan casually.
I really have no plans to have another child.
His one daughter is already enough of a headache for him.
Everyone says that boys are difficult to manage during their rebellious phase, but he sees that his three kids, Da Bao, Xiao Bao, and Lin Dong, are all fine and not difficult to manage.
On the contrary, the girl, who is only ten years old, seems to have entered her rebellious phase early. Before she even graduated from elementary school, she was already climbing on walls and tearing off tiles all day long. She attends school five days a week, and the teacher has to call her parents seven times.
Xu Shukuai had almost become familiar with every leaf on the tree in the schoolyard.
Now he runs his own small company and is his own boss; otherwise, if he kept going to the school so often, he would have been scolded to death by his superiors long ago.
When Xiao Wu was almost one year old, Xie Zhuo hired a nanny to take care of the child at home, which relieved Xu Yan's burden.
But Chen Lihua was not entirely at ease, so whenever she had free time, she would come over to help the nanny take care of the child.
Xu Yan's novel, which she had previously serialized in the newspaper, has ended. She is currently brainstorming new stories and plans to write a book, but before she can start writing, she receives a call from the Qingshan Brigade.
In recent years, society has developed well, but places like Qingshan Brigade are still much the same as before. Apart from farming, there are no other ways to make money.
Fang Xia used to run a small tailor shop making underwear, and the customers who came to her shop were mostly wealthy people from the city. Now she wants to open her own underwear factory, hire some local women to make underwear, and sell the underwear that Xu Yan designed to all parts of the country.
I'm calling now partly to tell Xu Yan about this, and partly...
She didn't have that much money on hand, so she wanted to ask Xu Yan if he could invest some, and then give her a share of the profits.
After hearing her explain her plan, Xu Yan laughed, "So you know about profit sharing now."
“Then look,” Fang Xia smiled, “the conditions are better now than before. We bought a TV before the New Year and learned from watching it.”
Xu Yan did not agree immediately, but discussed it with Xie Zhuo after he returned home that evening.
In the end, they decided to invest, but also let Li Aihua join the factory, her position being roughly that of a supervisor.
When Li Aihua received Xu Yan's call, she was flattered and wanted to decline, but Xu Yan said that he had invested a large sum of money and couldn't afford to lose it. She was the person Li Aihua trusted most, and he had to keep an eye on things for her.
Li Aihua then agreed.
After arranging everything, Xu Yan began to do her own thing again.
After Xie Zhuo finished showering, he saw her still sitting at the table, so he scooped her up and carried her to the bed.
Xu Yan, who was still holding a pen, was startled by him.
"What are you doing?" Xu Yan capped the pen and pinched Xie Zhuo's cheek.
"Fuck you," Xie Zhuo threw her onto the bed and pressed down on her.
The mattress, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, proved its worth at this moment. Xu Yan bounced on the bed once and then sank into the soft blankets.
“You’re getting rougher and rougher with your speech,” Xu Yan said, pressing her pen against Xie Zhuo’s chest. “Do you remember what it was like when we first got married? Your face would turn red just from a kiss.”
Hearing her mention the past, Xie Zhuo stopped doing anything, supporting himself on the bed with one hand and gently stroking her long hair with the other.
“So many years have passed in the blink of an eye,” Xu Yan said. “You’ve gone from that innocent young girl to that old rogue.”
Xie Zhuo chuckled, his gaze carefully sweeping over Xu Yan's face. "You really haven't changed at all over the years. You're still as beautiful as you were back then."
Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, about to say, "Of course."
Then Xie Zhuo continued, "Just like before, one kiss and her eyes turn red, a little more and her eyes and clitoris are all wet. If I do anything else..."
Xie Zhuo couldn't finish his sentence before Xu Yan grabbed his neck and silenced him with a kiss.
