Chapter 567 Buying a Car
Her friends all took a year after weaning their children to slowly recover to their pre-pregnancy state.
"certainly."
Arno puffed out her chest and said confidently, "I inherited my grandmother's skills."
Xu Ying remembered what her sister-in-law Yao Jianshu had told her: the Qiu family ancestors had served the concubines in the palace during childbirth and postpartum periods. Grandma Qiu's skills were passed down from her mother-in-law. In her generation, her son was gone, and her daughter-in-law...
The craft can only be passed down to the granddaughter so that it can continue to be passed on.
It's true that Arnold learned the true skills.
Xu Ying touched her still-protruding belly, feeling both weak and happy. "Okay, then I'll leave my recovery to Arno."
Arno grinned, "Don't worry, Second Sister-in-law."
Xu's mother recounted the harrowing experience to Li Banxia, "...I felt unwell the whole time, my heart was pounding wildly, and I had a feeling something was about to happen. I dragged her father to drive to see Nannan, and coincidentally, we saw Min'an holding Nannan and trying to flag down a car. The driver didn't even stop when he saw he was carrying a pregnant woman. I got out and asked, and they said her water had broken. The young couple looked deathly pale; it scared me half to death..."
"That was so close!"
Hearing this made Li Banxia's heart tremble. "They should have had another person with them, and the car should have been ready too! It's a miracle that you and your daughter were on the same wavelength and got there in time..."
Li Banxia felt guilty. There was an accident when Jian Shu was giving birth. She was calculating the time, thinking that after finishing her work today, she would stay by Xu Ying's side tomorrow to wait for her to give birth.
As it turns out, no matter how much you plan, things can't always go as planned.
Li Banxia glanced at Xu Ying, whose face was still slightly pale, and slowly exhaled.
Fortunately, Xu Ying gave birth smoothly without any other complications.
"That's right. Although these two are both older than each other, it's their first time having a child. Without an experienced person by their side, even the most composed person will have oversights."
Xu's mother smiled, quite satisfied that Li Banxia had arrived at the hospital in half an hour and brought Arno over to take care of her daughter during her postpartum period.
Just looking at Arno's bag of repair tools, it's clear that it wasn't packed just now; it must have been prepared long ago, waiting for the baby to be born.
With such a family to rely on, a loving husband, and a fortune of hundreds of millions from her in-laws, her daughter and her children will never have to worry about anything in their lives.
Thinking of how terrified and helpless Min'an was during his daughter's delivery, Xu's mother couldn't help but laugh.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, then Li Banxia left Arno behind and got up to go see Liu Mingcui and Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue has been cleared by the doctor to get out of bed. At first, she still needed Liu Mingcui's support, but after regaining control of her body, she began to move around a little in the room and gradually increased her workload.
After more than half a month, I can now walk slowly for half an hour.
He greeted her with a smile as she approached.
Li Banxia praised Xu Ying for a few moments, then told Liu Mingcui about Xu Ying's delivery. Liu Mingcui exclaimed, "Then her parents' wish has finally come true..."
Then they asked, "Are you planning to have a second child?"
Li Banxia shook her head, "The second child was terrified, he probably won't have any more children."
"How scared he was..."
Liu Mingcui was puzzled, and after asking half of the question, she suddenly realized and said, "The two of them have a good relationship. Your second son doesn't want Xu Ying to go through the pain of pregnancy and childbirth again, right?"
Li Banxia nodded.
"That's fine, as long as the two of them agree on it."
Li Banxia smiled and said, "That's what I think too."
The two chatted for a while, then Li Banxia checked the time and said she would go back to Xu Ying's place first. Liu Mingcui went with her to say hello.
That evening, Li Banxia called Su Laosan into the study and talked to him about buying a car.
Do you know anyone in this field?
Su Laosan was taken aback. "Mom, are we going to buy a car? Aren't taxis convenient enough?"
Li Banxia frowned and shook her head, telling them about Su Lao Er taking Xu Ying to the hospital to prepare for childbirth, and sighed, "Your second brother and sister-in-law are lucky. Her parents arrived in time. What if... it's still more convenient to have a car."
"……Too."
Su Laosan nodded, frowned and thought for a while, then said, "A few days ago, I hitched a ride with someone from Hong Kong who said he could get foreign cars, but the price might be much higher."
"Price is not an issue, quality is the key. If possible, I'd like to take... three vehicles."
Li Banxia thought about it for a while and decided that once the postpartum care center was built, she would also need her own car to pick up and drop off new mothers who had just come out of the hospital. A bigger car would be more comfortable.
Realizing she had been thinking a bit too far ahead, Li Banxia brought her thoughts back to the present.
Su Laosan nodded, "Okay, I'll organize a dinner party and ask how long it will take to get the car."
"good."
Three days later, Su Laosan said to Li Banxia at the dinner table, "It's all settled. It will arrive in Hong Kong next month and then be driven over. It should arrive home around the time Second Sister-in-law finishes her postpartum confinement."
Li Banxia hummed in agreement.
Su Laoda glanced at Su Laosan, who then offered a brief explanation.
"I ordered different models for my third brother. For my eldest brother and sister-in-law, since you both work in government departments, I chose one with a more understated exterior but excellent interior quality. I also chose a women's car for Mom, and for my second brother and sister-in-law, I chose one prioritizing comfort..."
Boss Su frowned. "Where's yours?"
"I?"
Su Laosan grinned and said, "I don't want to. I can't drive, and besides, I have a lot of social engagements at night. It's not safe to drive after drinking too much. I think taking a taxi is more convenient."
The eldest and second eldest Su exchanged a glance, but neither of them said anything more.
The next day, Xu Ying was discharged from the hospital. Xu's father took out the names he had prepared and let his daughter and son-in-law choose one. Xu Ying chose Haoyang, Xu Haoyang.
Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu exchanged a glance.
Xu's mother read it a few times, "Xu Haoyang, how about the nickname Yangyang, the Yang of the sun? It sounds like it has vigorous vitality, what do you think?"
Xu Ying looked up at Su Lao Er, who smiled and nodded, "Mom, this nickname is good. Boys should be like this."
“Okay, it’s settled then. I’ll call the people back home later and get the child added to the family genealogy.”
Mr. Xu waved his hand, his eyes almost overflowing with laughter.
Xu's mother hugged Xu Haoyang, calling him "Yangyang, Yangyang" affectionately.
Xu Ying and Su Lao Er looked at each other and smiled.
After finishing my postpartum confinement and having my baby's one-month celebration, it was almost the end of the year.
The vehicles that Su Laosan ordered have all arrived.
Su Laosan made a call in advance, asking someone to drive the cars to the courtyard house and park them in a row in the front yard, so that the group could see them as soon as they got off work.
As a result, when he got off work, he found a domestically produced Audi parked next to the three cars.
Su Laosan exclaimed in confusion, "This..."
"Third brother, here you go."
Su Lao Er got out of another car and tossed the car keys over, which Su Lao San instinctively caught.
"Second brother, what is this...?"
