Gu Guanhai, who had been keeping an eye on the outside, lit up when he heard her call out to Qin Xiangdong.
But the next second...
Yu Mingxiang's professional voice came through, "Pay attention to the injuries on his shoulder and side, and remind him to avoid pulling on the wounds while eating to prevent them from reopening."
Gu Guanhai: ...
The light in his eyes went out instantly.
Outside, Yu Mingxiang finished instructing her son and then took the food to the backyard.
After Gu Guanhai left, as the weather turned cold, the family of four moved their dining table to the main room in the backyard.
There was a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) in the main room, making it warm to eat.
Grandma Gu, who was resting in Yu Mingxiang's room, anxiously went up to ask about her son's condition when she saw her return.
Yu Mingxiang was afraid that the old lady would faint again, so she blurred the details of Gu Guanhai's injuries, only saying that he was probably too tired, which was why he fell ill, and that he would be fine after resting for a while.
Grandma Gu believed it to be true and started cursing.
"That brat's always running around outside doing nothing productive, and he's actually tired? He's really something..."
Yu Mingxiang: ...
He offered to stay for dinner at the right moment, interrupting Old Mrs. Gu's incessant grumbling.
This time, Grandma Gu did not refuse.
She was so frightened by her son that she lost her appetite and couldn't go home to cook.
Yu Mingxiang invited Gu's mother to stay for dinner, but she couldn't stay with her the whole time.
Her daughter-in-law had just given birth and needed constant care, so she quickly finished her rice and excused herself to go and relieve her eldest son.
Inside the east room.
Xue Ru and the infant in swaddling clothes lay side by side on the kang (a heated brick bed) asleep.
Yu Mingxiang sat by the bed, looking at the sleeping mother and son, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
A little while later, the little grandson closed his eyes and started humming.
Yu Mingxiang knew he was hungry, so she quickly got up to get the thermos.
The thermos contained warm spring water. She made formula for her grandson and watched as he sucked on the nipple, gulped it down, and fell asleep contentedly. Her eyes crinkled with a smile.
This is the first time in my life that I'm experiencing what it's like to be a grandmother, and this feeling...
very nice!
Yu Mingxiang hadn't had enough time to look at her grandson when Qin Weiguo finished his meal and hurriedly went back to his room.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
She glared at her son, then reluctantly went out to continue her work.
According to the local custom in Hedao Village, a red cloth is hung at the door of a family after a child is born. The next day, relatives and neighbors will come to congratulate them when they see the red cloth.
Now, the red cloth has been hung up in front of their house.
Yu Mingxiang's task was to boil the red eggs in advance.
The kitchen was already cleaned by the youngest son, and Yu Mingxiang had prepared the sorghum husks and sappanwood needed for boiling red eggs. However, the eggs themselves were still missing…
That's a bit too much!
One pot probably won't be enough, we'll need two!
Yu Mingxiang wouldn't say she was particularly popular, but her family had been in Hedao Village for three or four months. As the village doctor, she and her daughter-in-law inevitably interacted with the women in the village, and over time, they became acquainted with many people.
In addition, the joy of having a new baby is a happy occasion, and acquaintances will inevitably come to share in the joy.
Yu Mingxiang wasn't a stingy person; the eggs she had saved up for a long time finally came in handy. She washed them all with water and then put them in the pot...
But.
She was boiling eggs when she suddenly heard arguing coming from Gu Guanhai's house.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
Living under the same roof, she couldn't pretend not to hear what she was hearing.
She took off her apron and hurried over.
As soon as Yu Mingxiang entered the house, she was stopped by Old Mrs. Gu.
"Dr. Yu, please help me talk to this brat."
The old woman said anxiously, "Why didn't this guy say he wanted to move out earlier or later? Of all times, he's in this half-dead state and he's making a fuss about moving back home."
"Tell me, how can I, an old woman who doesn't know anything, let him go home in this condition? Dr. Yu, you are a doctor, I can only feel at ease if he stays with you!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang said: ...
She looked at Gu Guanhai with a surprised and uncertain expression.
Move away?
This man is actually making a scene and wanting to move out at this time?
