Newborn babies spend most of their time sleeping, eating, sleeping, and urinating.
He Yuhan has experience taking care of children, so she is not at all as flustered as a new mother.
Watching her daughter-in-law take care of the child so methodically, Wen Jinyu praised her daughter-in-law, "Yuhan, you take better care of the child than I do. You know so much about childcare."
He Yuhan listened to her mother-in-law praising her and said with a smile, "To be honest, I basically raised my three younger brothers, and I also took care of Haobo and Huayang for a while, so I'm no stranger to taking care of children."
Wen Jinyu smiled and said, "No wonder you take such good care of the child. You must have been experienced before. I'm relieved. I was worried that you would be overwhelmed when you first became a mother."
Han Yixian stayed home to take care of his wife for a few days before He Yuhan urged him to go back to work. A grown man in a very important position at work, he couldn't always take leave to stay home and take care of his wife and child.
However, Han Yixian would wash and hang up the baby's diapers every morning, and he would also go home at noon to see his wife and child and wash the diapers as well.
The weather is still very cold, and the water is cold too. His mother is not in good health, and he is worried that washing diapers with cold water all the time will be bad for her health.
He Yuhan also wouldn't let her mother-in-law wash the diapers, leaving them for Han Yi to wash first.
Wen Jinyu was overjoyed to see how filial her son and daughter-in-law were. She became even more attentive to serving her daughter-in-law.
Han Yi took some time to visit Laohewan Village to share the good news with his uncles. Du Lianqiao and his wife, Liu Zhongyi and Liang Shouzheng were overjoyed to hear that He Yuhan had given birth to a big, healthy boy. They quickly packed their things and came to see He Yuhan and the baby.
Previously, Liu Zhongyi, the Du family, and the Liang family had all guessed that He Yuhan was about to give birth, so they had collected a lot of eggs for her, which they brought over this time.
Seeing the number of eggs brought by these families, Wen Jinyu said gratefully, "Chickens don't like to lay eggs in this cold weather, how did you manage to collect so many eggs?"
Wang Yuqiao said, "We know that Yuhan needs eggs during her postpartum period, so we have been taking good care of the hens, and they have been laying eggs quite well."
Wen Jinyu had also saved up quite a few eggs, so He Yuhan now had plenty of eggs to eat.
Wen Jinyu would give her daughter-in-law eggs for every meal, and in large quantities. Eventually, He Yuhan felt she was tired of eating eggs and didn't want to eat them anymore.
When Du Lianqiao and his wife saw that their daughter had given birth to a big, healthy baby boy, they were overjoyed to become grandparents, and their eyes crinkled with laughter.
If He Yuhan hadn't stopped her, Wang Yuqiao would have wanted to stay and take care of her daughter during her postpartum period.
He Yuhan knew she had a younger brother who needed care, so how could she let her mother stay to help her during her postpartum period? Besides, her mother-in-law and husband were already more than enough; she didn't need another person to take care of her.
After visiting He Yuhan and her child, Han Yixian drove them back home.
Han Xiao was blessed with a big, healthy grandson. He shared the good news with all his relatives and friends, and everyone congratulated him and sent gifts to He Yuhan and the baby.
Han Yixian's child is the first boy born in his generation, making his birth of great significance. The Han family no longer needs to worry about its next heir.
He Yuhan's son has brought joy to some and dislike to others.
The Han family, far to the south, also received the news of Han Yixian's birth of a son.
But none of the family members were in a good mood.
Han Sheng sat on the sofa in the living room, glared at his eldest son with a deep expression, and said, "You got married two years earlier than Han Yixian. With such a big advantage, you still didn't give me the eldest grandson of the Han family. You only gave birth to a girl. What's the use of that?"
Han Yigan said helplessly, "Dad, I got married early as soon as I reached the appropriate age, and it's not something I can control whether I can have a son. Besides, what's the use of having a son before my cousin?"
Han Sheng snorted and said, "At least your eldest son in the next generation is in our branch of the family. Some things can be resolved. But now Han Yi has gained the upper hand again, and I have no excuse to seek benefits for you."
Your transfer to Kyoto was already arranged, and you were even in Kyoto, but then your uncle said one thing and you were transferred back. Does this mean our branch of the family is destined to remain adrift like this forever?
Han Sheng's mother, Liu, was also very unhappy. She and her son had been banished from the capital by the old man years ago and had stayed there for decades. She dreamed of returning to the Han family and becoming the matriarch of the Han family. Otherwise, why had she gone to such lengths to climb into the old man's bed in the first place?
But after decades of painstaking planning, they still haven't gotten what they wanted. Han Yixian even had a son, making their hopes even more distant.
Han Yigan knew that his father and grandmother were extremely unwilling to be excluded from the core members of the Han family and always wanted to return to Kyoto, which had almost become an obsession for them.
Back then, my grandmother was a maid in the Han family. She schemed against my grandfather to have my father. The elders allowed my grandfather to take my grandmother as a concubine because of the Han family bloodline.
However, Grandpa loathed and even hated his grandmother. Even after she gave birth to a son, she received no affection from him. Once Father came of age, he sent Father and Grandma to the south, where he bought them several properties so they could live a comfortable life.
Before his death, Grandpa forbade Grandma and Father from returning to Kyoto and the Han family. He even left a will forbidding Father's branch of the family from returning to Kyoto, intending to isolate Father's branch from Kyoto and exclude them from the core members of the Han family.
This would ensure that the father's branch of the family could never compete with the legitimate line for the inheritance. How could the grandmother and father possibly accept this?
Han Yigan didn't actually have that much ambition. In his view, he was capable of supporting himself, his wife, and his children, and that a modest life at home was enough. There was no need for him to compete with his uncle's family, who were born in the capital.
He didn't actually want to go to Kyoto, but his father and grandmother were determined to have him develop his career there. They even made him get married early and have him give birth to their eldest son.
His wife did give birth to a daughter, but it was his older cousin who stole the firstborn son of the Han family, which infuriated his father, and he was also reprimanded quite a bit.
Sigh, I wonder when Grandma and Father will give up those unrealistic ideas.
Han Sheng was indeed very unwilling, because just because he was born out of wedlock, he was deprived of the opportunity to inherit the Han family, and his descendants would gradually become marginalized members of the Han family.
He is also Han Zhengqing's son. Why is it that only Han Xiao can control the Han family, while he can't even get a piece of the action? This is so unfair.
In today's society, there is no longer any distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children; they are all equal, and he should have the right to inherit the Han family's property and enjoy wealth and luxury.
But Han Xiao stubbornly adhered to the old man's dying wish and refused to let them return to the capital. Hmph, wasn't it because he was afraid they'd go back and fight him for the family fortune?
