The nurse pushed Meng Tao out of the delivery room, and Shen Yu immediately went to meet her. The couple seemed to be separated by a century, staring deeply into each other's eyes. Shen Yu's eyes were red and he could not speak. He just took his wife's almost transparent white hand in his palm, brought it to his lips and kissed it.

Meng Tao smiled: "I don't feel any pain now, really, I'm just a little tired and want to sleep."

Shen Yu's heart ached: "Well, close your eyes and rest, I'm here!"

"Have you seen the baby?"

"See, he's fine."

"I only saw him once."

"Go to sleep, he will be right next to you when you wake up."

"good."

Meng Tao lived in a high-end ward, which was divided into an inner and outer room. She fell asleep in the inner room with the door closed, and it was very quiet. Shen Yu stayed by the bed, and the nurse and Mrs. Gan occasionally went in and out to check on her.

Grandma Xu, her aunt, Xu Mingni, and Meng Lijun and her daughter were in the outer room, surrounding the crib and looking at Shen Yunhai. The more they looked, the more they admired him. Meng Lijun said that the child seemed to be growing up in the wind. In the blink of an eye, his little face gradually became plump, pink and rosy. He was so beautiful that they could not get enough of looking at him.

Everyone else had already gone back. When they learned that Meng Tao was about to give birth, they rushed to the hospital out of worry. But when they saw that both mother and child were safe, they felt relieved and went back to work.

Xu Yuting and Liu Jianli received a task and went out to make phone calls and send telegrams to inform relatives and friends of the good news.

Within a day, everyone who could get a call received the good news.

Shen Yunhai was born a few days early. Shen Heping and Xu Zhen were still in Province D and couldn't make it back. As grandparents, they were both happy and anxious. They wished they could grow wings and fly back immediately.

Meng Tao went home after staying in the hospital for three days. Seeing that she didn't want to stay in the hospital, Grandma Xu let her do as she pleased. After all, it would be more comfortable and at ease to go back home. As for nursing, the confinement nanny was trained, so if she had any other questions, she could just ask the doctor to come to her home.

When the mother and son returned home, Shen Heping and Xu Zhen also arrived home.

Seeing their eldest grandson who was as cute as a pink ball, the couple's hearts melted. Xu Zhen rushed to hold the child. Grandma Xu said that they had come back from a long way and were exhausted, so they went to wash their faces, hands, and change clothes before holding the child.

The couple readily followed the advice. Since there was always hot water at home, they simply washed from head to toe, changed into casual clothes, and then came to hug their precious grandson.

Xu Zhen burst into tears when she saw her grandson for the first time. She then held the soft swaddling baby in her arms. She heard Grandma Xu and Shen Heping say that the child looked exactly like the newborn Shen Yu. Xu Zhen couldn't help crying again. Perhaps she remembered that when she gave birth to Shen Yu, her baby was only this big. She didn't even get to hold him before she abandoned him.

Tears accidentally dripped onto the baby's delicate face. Shen Yunhai was awake. He was obviously stunned for a moment, his black eyes widened, as if he was frightened. Then he opened his little mouth and turned his little head left and right, actually trying to catch his grandmother's tears. His silly little look made everyone laugh.

Shen Heping finally held his eldest grandson in his arms and couldn't stop smiling.

Shen Yunhai is really well behaved. He basically doesn't make any noise or trouble, except for a few hums when he pees or poops, indicating that it's time to change and wash him.

Mrs. Gan would bring him to Meng Tao to feed him regularly. He would fall into a deep sleep after eating and would not cry when he woke up. He would play with himself for a while, and then eat and sleep again... Mrs. Gan said that she had never seen such an easy-to-take baby. He was so lovable.

During Meng Tao's confinement, the Shen's residence had constant guests every day, all of whom came to see the baby. Meng Tao had to stay in the house and was not allowed to go out. Grandma Xu often lived in the Shen's residence to help. She was the stabilizing force of the Xu family. When the stabilizing force came to the Shen's residence, people from the Xu family also followed. Every night, Grandpa Xu, his eldest uncle, second uncle, two aunts, as well as Xu Mingni, Xu Hengkai and Xu Hengrui gathered at the Shen's residence. After dinner, they would tease Shen Yunhai for a while when he woke up, and then go back.

Old Master Meng, Meng Shaokang, and Meng Lijun, mother and daughter, would often come over and would hug Shen Yunhai before leaving.

When Shen Yunhai was more than ten days old, Meng Zhehan finally took leave and returned to Beijing, bringing Jinniu and Bao Dongmei with him. According to the custom in Linshui Village, when a nephew is born, especially the first nephew, a gift must be sent to the uncle.

After receiving the telegram, the relatives and friends in Linshui Village were overjoyed. However, the road was too far and it was the time for preparations for spring ploughing, so Jinniu and Bao Dongmei could only be the representatives. They brought everyone's thoughts and wishes, which were in large and small packages. If Meng Zhehan had not picked them up in a car and took them on a plane, it would have been difficult for them to come all the way here.

Zhou Cuiling wanted to come, but she was pregnant. Zhang Fu in Xingyang County is now too busy to take care of everything. Zhang's parents have to work and arrange the wedding of Zhang Fu and Yu Lili. The couple is planning to hold their wedding on May Day, so they also asked Taurus to send gifts and blessings.

Taurus hugged Shen Yunhai and refused to let go happily, telling him "I'm your uncle, uncle." The little kid was awake, staring at him with his two black grape-like eyes and pouting. Taurus felt that the kid could understand, so he demonstrated to him, shouting "Uncle" and then responding with "Hey" himself. The onlookers burst into laughter.

Bao Dongmei went into the house and talked to Meng Tao, chatting with her about the latest situation in the village and telling her a great news: this year, with the help of Brother Liu Jianxin, the village tried to build two greenhouses for planting, which was successful and the vegetables grown were growing very well! Meng Tao was also very happy to hear that. The vegetable seeds she "brought back" must be correct. As long as the greenhouses were well built, there would be no problem and the harvest would be good.

Xu Yulin and Liu Jianshe also came for three days, but they didn't see Meng Tao and just kept surrounding Shen Yunhai.

Shen Yunhai, who has a sweet and milky smell, has become a real group darling and is very popular. The little guy is very carefree. No matter who of you gets him, he will wake up and sleep at will without being affected at all. When he falls asleep, he will occasionally smile sweetly in his dreams. He is so adorable.

Xu Yuting and Liu Jianli also had to queue up if they wanted to hold Shen Yunhai, and they had to be at the end of the queue, because they were close to the water and could hold him anytime they wanted. When it was actually their turn, it was already very late, and they were either intercepted or their turn was gone - Gan's wife took the baby away, saying that the baby needed to be washed, and Director Shen and Xu's mother were also very aggressive in fighting for the baby. Then there was Shen Yu, who took Shen Yunhai into the inner room and never came out...

The only one who didn't fight or compete was Xiao Wangcai, but it always followed everyone who held Shen Yunhai.

It was so lively and time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was almost one month old. Meng Tao was allowed to walk out of the room. Grandma Xu asked Aunt Gao to boil a big pot of ginger water for Meng Tao to wash her hair and take a bath.

Meng Tao pretended to wash happily.

In fact, she had already washed her hair and bathed, and she couldn't bear not washing for a month. In the space, Shen Yu was still hesitant at first, but at Meng Tao's strong request, Shen Yu himself knew the healing function of the space and the benefits of pine needle dew, so he heated up the mountain spring water, added pine needle dew and let Meng Tao take a bath.
