"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Lu Huaijiao rudely interrupted the self-reproaching man.
However, she may have been talking too loudly, which caused her wound to hurt a bit.
She hissed, her face turning deathly pale.
Gu Changzheng couldn't even care less about blaming himself now, and quickly grasped her hand that hadn't been injected.
"Honey, what's wrong? Does your wound hurt a lot? I'll go ask the doctor to give you some painkillers."
"No, my chest hurts, it's just because you made me angry."
Lu Huaijiao grimaced, as if she really was in a lot of chest pain.
Gu Changzheng didn't know exactly where his wife was in more pain, but he knew he couldn't make her angry or say anything she wouldn't like to hear.
"Honey, don't be angry. I was wrong. You can hit me however you want to vent your anger when you're better. Let's not be angry now, okay?"
"Then don't say anything stupid again, or you'll really drive me crazy."
Lu Huaijiao stared at him rudely and continued, "If I get so angry that you die, you won't have a wife anymore, and your child won't have a mother either. Will you be able to breastfeed your child then?"
"Okay, okay, I'll feed him, I'll feed him."
The man, so nervous he'd lost his mind, didn't even hear what his wife was saying. He was just convinced that if he echoed her words and agreed with her, he wouldn't make her angry.
He Meizhu, who was standing to the side, laughed in anger upon hearing her son's words.
"Jiaojiao, don't pay attention to him. He's out of his mind right now."
Lu Huaijiao nodded affirmatively.
"Mom is right. I hope the child won't be like his father, otherwise he'll be too stupid and won't be able to find a wife in the future."
There will never be another girl in this world as unpretentious and kind as her.
He Meizhu certainly agreed with her daughter-in-law's words.
"That's natural. Sons resemble their mothers and won't inherit traits from the fourth child."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked back and forth, completely ignoring the presence of Gu Changzheng, the person directly involved. Or perhaps he was everywhere? Present in the corners they disliked…
After Lu Huaijiao wakes up, she needs six hours before she can eat.
She entered the operating room at noon and came out at three o'clock.
It's already 6 PM.
We have to wait another three hours before we can eat.
He Meizhu asked Gu Jianhua to go home and kill a chicken, but Gu Changzheng stopped her, saying that he had already asked Tiezhu and the others to prepare it, and they should deliver it in a little while.
"Tiezhu?"
“It’s the dead of winter, and it’s not safe for his wife to be home alone.”
"It's okay, I brought them all along, they have bicycles."
The brigade's tractor drove back in the afternoon. On the way back, Gu Changzheng gave Gu Tiezhu some money and asked him to buy a chicken every day for the next few days to make soup and deliver it to him.
He's never skimped on food, so he's even less likely to skimp on it now.
He Meizhu nodded.
"Okay, then I'll have your dad go back now?"
"The hospital cafeteria is open now, let Dad eat before we go back."
Although the security situation is good now, I'm still a little worried because no one is home. Besides, Gu Jianhua can't be of much help here, so it's better to come during the day.
They might have to spend this New Year in the hospital.
He Meizhu thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go eat with your dad. I'll bring you some food in a bit."
"Yes, Dad, Mom, I have some meat coupons here. Let's get some meat to eat."
Gu Changzheng handed He Meizhu several meat coupons, which weighed about two jin in total.
"So many meat coupons? Why would we need so many? We've had pork cracklings at home, and we still have meat at home. We won't eat it at the canteen." He Meizhu knew her youngest son had connections, but she herself wasn't the kind of person who indulged in extravagance.
In the end, she didn't accept the meat ticket. She and Gu Jianhua got rice, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and Mapo tofu at the canteen, and ate it all up in big mouthfuls.
When buying food for her son, He Meizhu chose a meat dish.
I paid for the meat myself.
Yes, she refused to accept Gu Changzheng's hostage, but that didn't mean she wouldn't let Gu Changzheng eat meat.
After finishing his meal, Gu Jianhua prepared to go back.
He Meizhu told him to pack up tomorrow and cook some dishes at home to bring to the hospital.
“Your three grandsons wanted to come and celebrate the New Year, so tomorrow we’ll have a lively New Year in the hospital room.”
"I understand, I'm going back now. Be extra vigilant tonight, you have three grandsons, you can't be careless."
"Alright, do you think I don't know? Didn't I raise four children all by myself?"
He Meizhu gave Gu Jianhua a disdainful look, then gave him two yuan and told him to go home quickly.
There are no buses now, so I'll definitely have to walk home. Luckily, I walk fast, and I got home in an hour.
For a grown man, walking a little distance is no big deal.
After Gu Jianhua left the hospital, He Meizhu returned to her ward.
Inside the ward, the three children, who had been sleeping soundly, woke up. They made little kitten-like noises and pouted, looking for food!
The nurses had already told them that if the babies looked for food, they should be brought over and allowed to try breastfeeding.
So at this moment, Gu Changzheng followed the doctor's advice and carried his brother, who was crying the most, to Lu Huaijiao's side.
Lu Huaijiao had just had surgery, so she definitely couldn't sit up on her own. Even turning over required Gu Changzheng's help. Once the baby was placed on the ground, Gu Changzheng had to help pull up her clothes.
