Chapter 31 The Ungrateful Younger Brother, the Terrible Uncle-in-Law 31
After they left, Ji Huaizhi still looked at them with some hostility.
Xiao Liu touched his nose: "Um... someone just called and said their parents are on their way. To avoid trouble, I called you to leave first."
Ji Huaizhi didn't say anything more, only regretting that he hadn't held the baby earlier.
I haven't even asked her name yet.
The couple felt even more heartbroken when they saw him leave.
Ji Renyi wanted to chase after him, but Qin Shuang stopped him: "Don't go, let's not cause him any trouble. It must have been difficult for him to come and see us."
"The fact that he told us his name means we can no longer call him by his old name."
Qin Shuang looked at the baby in her arms: "It's a pity that your uncle didn't get a chance to hold you."
Ji Renyi handed her a tissue to wipe her tears: "Don't cry, you can't cry during your postpartum period."
"I'm just happy."
Qin Shuang took the paper from her hand: "I'm so happy. He's grown so tall, and his voice has changed, but I didn't see his face."
"I estimate it won't even take a year for it to be higher than yours."
"yes."
Ji Renyi exclaimed, "They're almost taller than me."
The two suddenly noticed a black bag on the corner of the bed, and Qin Shuang pointed to it: "Go and get it."
Ji Renyi took the child after receiving it.
Qin Shuang opened the bag, and on top were some tonics. When she saw the red item below the tonics, the two exchanged a glance and were startled.
"this……"
"many."
Ji Renyi's heart skipped a beat: "Shuangshuang, did you think the person who took him away back then was legitimate?"
"I think so. Wasn't it said that the bureau chief introduced them?"
Before the two could think of anything else, they heard Qin's mother's voice outside.
Qin Shuang looked at it in alarm and quickly hid the bag under the blanket.
"Did the child make a fuss?" Qin's mother asked as she came in.
Qin's father was still carrying a lunchbox and took out a small table, intending for Qin Shuang to eat first.
"No trouble."
As soon as Qin's mother came in, she hugged the baby: "You'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I'll have your father find a car in a little while. Don't worry about the postpartum care. Your father and I will help you."
Both of them already had something on their minds.
Ji Renyi didn't hear what his mother-in-law said.
Qin Shuang quickly said, "Mom, there's no need to find a car tomorrow. I'll just stay at the hospital for two days."
Qin's mother frowned: "What are you staying at the hospital for?"
Qin's father didn't understand either.
Ji Renyi then spoke up: "Let's observe him in the hospital for a couple more days, it won't hurt."
"Yes, Renyi was shocked when he saw me giving birth, and he insisted that I stay in the hospital for a couple more days, so..."
Qin's mother and her husband exchanged a glance: "Alright then."
"That car is too much trouble, let's wait two more days."
Ji Renyi: "I'll find a car then, don't worry. It'll also be a good opportunity for me to learn how to take care of her."

After Ji Huaizhi left, he returned to the post station.
The distance was still quite far, and it was already late when we arrived at the post station.
Ji Huaizhi finished washing up early, and someone brought him his meals.
After dinner, Ji Huaizhi knocked on Xiao Liu's door, and the door opened immediately.
"Brother Ji."
"Make me a gold lock."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu immediately remembered: "What kind of golden lock?"
"For children, make sure it's big and solid, you know what I mean?" Ji Huaizhi looked at him, and Xiao Liu nodded vigorously under his gaze.
"Can."
Ji Huaizhi patted him on the shoulder: "Remember to go for the big ones, from my salary card. If that's not enough, get an advance on my salary and buy some lottery tickets..."
"Don't worry, but I've already spoken to the higher-ups about the lottery, but we haven't received a reply yet."
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "What I mean is that we don't need to rush the lottery. Let me earn more money first, and then I'll let my brother win more."
Xiao Liu felt inexplicably envious of his older brother and sister-in-law.
The next day, Ji Huaizhi put on a food delivery worker's uniform again.
I took a takeout box to the hospital.
This time, Xiao Liu and Shunli did not wear the deliveryman's uniform.
The three of them standing together seem to stand out even more.
"Hello, takeout."
Qin Shuang was supposed to have a double room in the hospital, but there was no one next to her.
However, a pregnant woman came to the next room last night. While she and Ji Renyi were worried about whether they would be able to get a proper rest, a doctor came over and said that she had been upgraded to a single room.
But I won't say anything unnecessary.
Ji Renyi and Qin Shuang guessed that Huai Zhi did it.
But just to be on the safe side, she had Ji Renyi wait outside the original ward.
Thinking, what if...
What if he comes again today, but I don't know which ward I'll be in?
"Enter."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Qin Shuang immediately called Ji Renyi.
"Um... you've worked hard, have some water."
A glass of water was already placed on the table, and Ji Huaizhi drank it directly.
He put down the takeout box he was holding: "This is your takeout."
Qin Shuang felt a pang of sadness when she thought about all the money she had spent yesterday: "Ji Wang, right? Um... just take care of yourself, you don't need to deliver 'takeout' to us."
At this point, tears started flowing uncontrollably again.
"Keep it for yourself, we'll keep it safe for you, just take good care of yourself."
Ji Renyi rushed over and saw two people sitting on the bench by the door before he even reached it.
Xiao Liu and Shunli glanced at him and then turned away.
Ji Renyi could tell at a glance that the two men came from the military.
Pretending to be calm, I went inside, but my heart skipped a beat when I saw a familiar figure: "It's takeout again..."
He didn't really know what he was saying. Seeing his long-lost younger brother standing in front of him, he was too excited to say anything.
She dared not openly express her longing for him.
"Is delivering food hard work?" Ji Renyi asked softly.
"It's alright," Ji Huaizhi replied.
"I know there are many things I can't say, but I won't ask, brother." Ji Renyi felt his heart clench, and his hand trembled as he tried to pat his head: "Brother regrets it."
Qin Shuang, holding the child, said, "Quickly, hold her, you're pregnant with... Ji Wang."
"Her name is Ji Wansheng." Qin Shuang handed the child to him.
The baby was very well-behaved, neither crying nor fussing, smelling of milk, and blowing bubbles.
Ji Huaizhi gently held her, his movements clumsy.
If you look closely, you can see that his arm is a little tense.
Qin Shuang said softly, "Give her a nickname."
Ji Huaizhi held her carefully; this was the child who had never been born in his previous life.
He looked at her with gentle eyes and said, "Xiaoman is a time of perfect success."
"Xiaoman." Qin Shuang murmured the name softly, "Okay, from now on, her nickname will be Xiaoman."
After Ji Huaizhi left, Ji Renyi and Qin Shuang looked at Jin Suo, whose face was even bigger than their daughter's, and stared at each other in bewilderment.
"this……"
Ji Renyi's anxiety returned: "Is he really doing something legitimate?"
Qin Shuang pinched Ji Renyi.
He screamed in pain.
Is this true?
After the initial surprise, his eyes dimmed again: "You said that aside from yesterday's 200,000 and such a large gold lock, what he did must have been dangerous, right?"
Jiang Xinyi's sister-in-law came to help when she gave birth, and she no longer wears all sorts of fancy makeup on her face.
Ji Huaizhi's gaze fell on her for a moment and then quickly looked away.
Jiang Xinyi, holding what she was carrying, brushed past him.
After taking two steps, I realized something and turned back.
My heart trembled as I looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
