The child was still asleep and knew the conversation between his aunt and mother.
In the end, Shen Qiuyu accepted the gift.
"Xiaoxiao, you must be tired from the car ride. Take a rest first. After dinner, we'll go check out the hotel I booked for you."
The new house has three bedrooms and two living rooms. One of the living rooms has been converted into a study with a single bed in it.
Ye Xiaoxiao can go to the house where Miao Cuifang lives now to rest, and Duan Hongxiao can go to the study.
All in all, if you are picky, the rooms in the house are enough.
Ye Xiaoxiao came out of the baby's room and sat on the sofa: "It's okay, I'll sit for a while."
Duan Hongxiao sat on the side of the sofa, but she was used to being alert, so she looked a little reserved.
Mother Shen brought over some tea and snacks.
"Xiaoxiao, Miss Duan, you guys eat something, just think of it as going home, don't be polite."
"I know, Auntie. You don't have to entertain us. We can get whatever we need ourselves."
Shen's mother likes Xiaoxiao very much, "Okay, then you can do it yourself."
Shen Qiuyu called Shen's mother aside.
"Mom, call your sister-in-law and ask your dad and brother to come over for dinner tonight."
Shen's mother: "They all come here and make so much noise, and you are still in confinement."
Shen Qiuyu: "Then you guys should go to a hotel outside to have a meal. Xiaoxiao can come easily. Although I can't go, your dad will treat me."
Mother Shen thought for a while and said, "Okay, we'll bring you some after we finish eating. Just tell your in-laws and use it to cook."
Shen Qiuyu: "It's just right for my mother-in-law to have a rest."
Miao Cuifang was too diligent, and Shen Qiuyu was always worried that she would be too tired.
Ye Changan will go back to the army these few days. He will definitely see his mother-in-law looking tired and thin when he comes back.
Shen went to make a phone call and asked his father to bring his family to a nearby hotel for dinner.
Miao Cuifang knew that they were going to eat at night and was worried about Shen Qiuyu.
"You guys go eat, I'll stay at home with Xiaoyu, she can't take good care of the child at home alone."
Shen Qiuyu smiled and said, "Mom, you can come with me. I'm still a newborn now, and I still know how to hold a baby."
When Shen Qiuyu was in the hospital, facing a newborn baby, she was really at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law had experience in taking care of children, so she helped take care of the baby for several days.
Ye Changan was always with her and comforting her.
Later, when her mother came over, Shen Qiuyu gradually became less afraid and learned to hold and coax the baby by herself.
During the confinement period, Miao Cuifang was the one who prepared milk powder for the baby at night. She slept very deeply many times, and the baby knew when he woke up in the middle of the night.
When Shen Qiuyu was in the hospital, he heard from the nurses there that many pregnant women wanted to jump off the building after giving birth.
Now that I think about it, there is definitely no mother-in-law or family member as nice as her.
Miao Cuifang was still relieved. "Then I'll make the soup for you now. You can have a meal later. I'll be back soon after dinner."
Shen Qiuyu nodded, "Okay."
There is still some time before dinner.
Shen Qiuyu sat there and chatted with Ye Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I couldn't even go to your wedding, you're so embarrassed."
Ye Xiaoxiao: "How can you be so embarrassed? My second sister-in-law was waiting for a baby at that time, so of course the child is more important."
And sitting in the car for several hours is too difficult for pregnant women.
Ye Xiaoxiao will be happy about this.
Shen Qiuyu started gossiping again, "How is your life after marriage? How does your brother-in-law treat you?"
Ye Xiaoxiao: "Lu Hanchuan and I are the same as before. We meet many times every month. The Lu family is very nice."
Shen Qiuyu: "In fact, Comrade Lu's military position already qualifies him to apply for military dependents. You can definitely apply to live with him."
Ye Xiaoxiao had certainly thought about it, but considering her own career, it would be more convenient for her to go near Lu Hanchuan's troops.
"Let's wait and see."
Ye Xiaoxiao is not thinking about this matter at the moment.
Shen Qiuyu knew from looking at Xiaoxiao's appearance that they were still quite happy together, and indeed there was no difference from before.
While the two were chatting, Ye Yijia woke up.
He whimpered twice, and when he was picked up, he cried obediently, staring at people with his black eyes.
"So good."
Ye Xiaoxiao had never held such a young child in her arms.
When Shen Qiuyu took the child and handed it to Xiaoxiao, her whole arm was a little stiff.
He held the baby for a minute and then quickly handed it to Miao Cuifang.
Miao Cuifang joked: "That's possible, but what if you encounter a child patient?"
Miao Cuifang knew that doctors were actually experts in different fields, while Ye Xiaoxiao was good at internal medicine and rarely saw pediatric patients. Although she knew how to treat them, she had no experience in taking care of children.
"We are a very good medical profession. We have a lot of surgery, a lot of internal medicine, a lot of obstetrics and gynecology, and we would rather die than do pediatrics. After hearing this, you know how difficult it is to take care of children."
After listening to this, Shen Qiuyu laughed so hard that she was shaking with laughter.
Miao Cuifang gave Xiaoxiao a reproachful look and said, "You are talking nonsense. This is a fabrication."
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't explain. Now that Miao Cuifang was holding the child, she finally dared to reach out and tease him.
Ye Yijia opened her watery eyes and at first glance she looked like a pretty doll.
Miao Cuifang held the child for a while and then put him on the bed to play by herself.
It is right to hold a newborn baby in your arms all the time because his bones are not fully developed yet.
The child is well behaved. He occasionally kicks his legs and stretches his arms and seldom cries.
Duan Hong was a little surprised when she saw this. It turned out that children were so fun to play with.
When Shen Qiuyu's father called the hotel to inform them that they had arrived, Shen's mother invited the whole family to come down for dinner.
Miao Cuifang used to make pig's trotter soup and millet porridge for Shen Qiuyu and let her eat it at home.
Shen Qiuyu: "Mom, don't worry about me. Come back after you're full."
…
Shen Qiuyu's brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and father were all in the hotel.
Mr. Shen greeted Ye Xiaoxiao enthusiastically.
After everyone was seated, Father Shen handed over the menu and said, "I just ordered a few dishes. Mother-in-law, please take a look at what you want to eat. Let's order a few more."
Mother Shen said, "Qiuyu told me to treat my in-laws well. My in-laws have worked hard these days. Xiaoxiao has come so far from the capital, so please don't be polite to us."
Miao Cuifang said that this was what she should do as a mother-in-law. There were enough dishes and she could eat everything without being picky.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the dishes on the menu and simply added a few more.
Then Mr. Shen looked at the menu and selected a few more dishes.
"Uncle and aunt, that's enough."
"It's okay. Let's pack it up and take it home after we finish eating. It won't be a waste."
While waiting for the food to be served, Shen Qiuyu's nephew Xiaoqiang was running around in the hotel.
Mr. Shen said a few words, then calmed down for a while, then started moving around again, scratching his ears or moving his butt.
