The two men approached Shen Yu while talking, clamoring to hold Shen Yunhai in his arms. Shen Yunhai, who was sleeping like a piglet, was woken up by them. The little guy didn't cry. He opened his eyes and yawned, and found that he was back home. He opened his little mouth and smiled sweetly at the two uncles.
His adorable appearance attracted Liu Jianli and Xu Yuting to rush to grab him. Shen Yu pushed them away and handed his son to Meng Tao. The little guy had slept for a long time and must be hungry. He decided to eat first.
Shen Heping asked Aunt Gao to prepare something for Xu Hengkai. Aunt Lin and Aunt Gan had already prepared hot water. The baby had taken a bath at Xu's house, so Meng Tao asked Xu Zhen to take a bath first and she went into the inner room to feed the baby.
Aunt Gao asked Xu Hengkai and cooked a big bowl of noodles with broth, accompanied by braised beef, fried eggs and tender green cabbage. It was fresh and fragrant, making people salivate.
Xu Hengkai was eating heartily when the baby came out after drinking milk. Liu Jianli and Xu Yuting also knew that they should not shake the baby after drinking milk, so they lined up honestly. Xu Yuting held the baby first and patted the baby's back in an orderly manner to make him burp.
Shen Heping was very happy to see his precious grandson was in high spirits. He called his name and teased him. Shen Yunhai waved his little fist and smiled at his grandfather and father. His two black grape-like eyes turned smartly and stared at Xu Hengkai. Then the smile disappeared and his little mouth smacked twice.
Xu Hengkai, who was putting the braised beef into his mouth: "..."
No way, I teased the little guy with meat last night, and tonight he found me eating alone while no one else was eating. Will the little guy think that this uncle does nothing but eat and always eats alone?
Xu Hengkai looked at Shen Yunhai and was quickly defeated. The little guy's pure and clear eyes seemed to penetrate his soul. He couldn't help but smile. He felt the need to rebuild a good image and picked up the bowl to go to the restaurant.
Shen Yu said, "It's okay. He just ate a lot and isn't greedy anymore. Ignore him and he won't be watching for a while."
In order not to disturb Xu Hengkai's meal, Shen Heping smiled and stretched out his hand to his grandson: "Grandpa, hold me. Let's go into the house to find grandma, okay?"
Xu Yuting turned away and refused to give him the chance. Liu Jianli said, "We want to play with Xiao Wangcai! Hey, where's Xiao Wangcai? Go find Xiao Wangcai!"
The two men carried Shen Yunhai out of the living room. Shen Heping knew that he could not snatch him away from them, so he followed them to the door and told them to slow down, then came back and sat down to continue making tea.
Xu Hengkai continued to eat noodles while talking to Shen Yu. Meng Tao washed and cut a plate of fruit and brought it over from the kitchen. She asked her eldest cousin if it was enough. Aunt Gao cooked too much, so there was still a bowl left.
Xu Hengkai nodded: "I'll eat it later. One bowl won't fill me up. It's all because Shen Yunhai is so cute. I can eat three bowls just by looking at him!"
Shen Heping laughed out loud. He loved hearing good things about his precious grandson the most. He was happier than hearing the praises about himself.
Meng Tao smiled and said, "My cousin is indeed a good person who can see the good qualities of little Yunhai. He will definitely be a good father in the future."
Shen Yu pulled his wife closer to him and ate the fruit in her hand: "I also passed the test. Sister Gan said that I am very good at taking care of children."
"No, you don't see the baby's advantages, and you still dislike him for this and that."
Shen Heping glared at his son, "Who has seen my eldest grandson and not said that he is smart and clever, and a rare warm-hearted and good boy? When you were a child? Just like you when you were a child, like a little mute, you couldn't fart even after being coaxed for half the night, you couldn't cry or laugh, what did I say to you? Didn't I still praise you and encourage you? You, you'd be lucky if you could be half as good as my good grandson!"
With his lovely wife on one side and his father on the other, Shen Yu had no choice but to surrender: "I will change. I will not say baby casually in the future. I will definitely change."
Shen Heping had been sharing tea with his son, but when he got angry he took the cup away and refused to let him drink. "If you don't change, I will bring Yunhai to our house. Your mother and I will raise him ourselves. We will feed him milk. When he grows up, he can eat rice porridge and meat. He will be taller than you!"
Shen Yu: “…”
He stopped talking and just turned to look at his wife, with a smile in his eyes.
How could Meng Tao not understand what he was thinking? She just randomly provoked him, hoping that her father-in-law would give Shen Yu a lesson, so that he wouldn't be too overbearing. He always complained that the baby was a hindrance to him, and that he wouldn't allow himself to hold the baby to sleep except when feeding at night. Such a small baby had to sleep in a crib by himself, under the pretext that a man should develop independence from an early age.
However, the development of the situation turned out to be exactly what he wanted: his father-in-law actually suggested feeding Shen Yunhai milk, and even took the initiative to take the baby to their house to raise.
This is what Shen Yu has been longing for and he has been thinking about it for a long time.
After all, they are father and son, so no matter how they think, they will still be on the same channel.
The more Meng Tao thought about it, the more depressed she became. While her father-in-law went to the door to see his grandson, she reached out and twisted the soft flesh on Shen Yu's waist. Shen Yu took a deep breath, grabbed his wife's naughty little hand, brought it to his lips and pecked it, smiling even more smugly.
Xu Hengkai was busy eating noodles, and Aunt Gao brought him another bowl. At this time, the lights in the hall and the courtyard were bright, and the adults' hearty laughter, the babies' sweet and crisp babbling, and the obviously happy cry of little Wangcai made a light and joyful atmosphere. Xu Hengkai ate two large bowls of noodles without feeling full, but felt very satisfied. He sighed with satisfaction and said with a smile, "We still have to have a baby in the family. Since little Yunhai was born, our family has added so much fun, especially grandpa and grandma. They can laugh for a long time just talking about little Yunhai."
Meng Tao nodded: "Yes, my eldest cousin and his wife can have a baby to make grandpa and grandma happier. Every time we come back from there, grandpa and grandma are reluctant to let go of Yunhai. In the past, they were looking forward to my second cousin and Pan Lina, but now it has changed like this... The elders are very sad."
"Yingying and I have agreed to have a baby in two years. By then, Yunhai will be a little older and it will be a good time for us to play."
Xu Hengkai smiled as he talked about their plans as a couple, but his expression turned cold when he mentioned Pan Lina: "When Hengze wanted to marry Pan Lina, I made a special trip to talk to him, and Shen Yu was also present, but he didn't listen... The second brother and Pan Lina divorced, as expected, they were not suitable.
In Tian Zhigao’s previous life memory, I married Gu Panpan, which to be honest was disgusting. There was no way I could succumb to a family marriage, as it did not suit my character. It could only be some kind of shady operation, and it happened in my own home... Pan Lina was definitely involved here, and she helped Gu Panpan.
If it weren't for this one today, there would be others. I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. Pan Lina must leave the Xu Mansion."
