After having dinner with Zhong Qing, Yan Yi returned to the Yan residence.
The Yan family always has dinner late. When Yan Yi returned, the Yan family was still eating.
Seeing Yan Yi coming back, Yan Su immediately asked the nanny to add a set of clean dishes and chopsticks. Yan Yi did not refuse and sat at the table to eat with the old man and his parents.
Old Man Yan is in his early 80s and has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for several years. He stared at Yan Yi for a long time with his frail eyes, but he called out the name of Yan's father, and everyone was not surprised.
The old man was in poor health and had a poor appetite. After being coaxed by Yan Yi to drink half a bowl of soup, he clamored to go out to see the moon.
The nanny was about to go forward to serve, but Yan Yi waved her away with his hand. He stood up and personally pushed the old man's wheelchair to take a walk in the garden.
After dinner, Yan Su found Yan Yi chatting with the old man in the backyard.
"Why are you back today?"
Yan Yi went abroad to study very early, and after returning to China, he bought a place to live outside and usually only returned to Yan's house on weekends.
"Sister, she gave birth to a daughter."
Yan Su was a little stunned.
It's not that she didn't know that "she" referred to Shen Mingzhu, but she was surprised that Shen Mingzhu gave birth to a daughter.
"Sister, please help me choose a full-month gift when you have time. You are more experienced in this area."
Yan Su looked at him and asked, "You came back all the way here just for this?"
"It's not a special trip, I just wanted to come back and take a look."
Sensing the loneliness and desolation coming from her brother, Yan Su couldn't help but urge him to get married. "You're not a child anymore, you should get married soon. Zhong Qing is a nice person, intelligent, gentle and generous. If you wait another two years, she'll become an old maid."
Yan Yi asked back, "What about you?"
Yan Su paused and said, "I am different from you."
"It's been seven years. It's time to let it go."
Yan Yi reached out his hand and held Yan Su's. "Brother-in-law has been gone for seven years. I believe he hopes more than any of us that you can let it go and start a new life."
"Has it actually been seven years?"
Yan Su seemed to be muttering to himself, or sighing, with tears welling up in his eyes.
How can she let go of the fact that the man she loved deeply left her when they were most in love?
"Susu, don't cry."
Old Man Yan, who was originally looking up at the night sky, turned around at some point and tremblingly took out a handkerchief to wipe Yan Su's tears.
Yan Su bent over and squatted, looking up like a child.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"good."
Just when the siblings thought that the old man had temporarily regained consciousness, they heard the old man calling Yan Yi's father's name again, and pointed at Yan Su and asked if this was Yan Yi's father's girlfriend.
The brother and sister were helpless while trying to coax the old man.
…
In a blink of an eye, it has been three days since Xiao Guoguo was born.
With the help and guidance of Sister Yu, the family of three have mastered the tasks of feeding, changing diapers and burping.
During the day, it was mainly Sister Yu and Pei Ziheng who helped take care of Xiao Guoguo. Apart from feeding, she basically rested.
But I couldn't rest well because relatives and friends came to visit me from time to time.
In the evening, Pei Ziheng and Sister Yu went back, and she and Pei Yang took turns to take care of the child.
The one who worked the hardest was Pei Yang. During the day he had to work at the food factory and clean up the new home, and he couldn't get a good rest at night.
Fortunately, Xiao Guoguo is quite well behaved. He just eats and sleeps and doesn't cry much.
"The wound has healed well and there is no bleeding. If you want to go home early, you can go through the discharge procedures this afternoon."
Shen Mingzhu was ecstatic when she heard the doctor's words.
She didn't want to stay in this ward for even a single day longer. Not only was the environment and air bad, but the child in the next bed would cry loudly at night and could last for an hour or two. Not only did it give her a headache, but even Xiao Guoguo was affected and couldn't rest well.
Thinking about being discharged from the hospital, Shen Mingzhu felt indescribably good. Plus her health had recovered a lot, so after lunch she began to slowly pack up.
"Why don't you lie down and rest?"
As I was packing, I heard a familiar voice behind me.
When she turned around and saw that it was Yan Su, Shen Mingzhu was not surprised.
"Second Miss, why are you here?"
Yan Su looked at the clothes on the bed and the luggage on the floor. "Are you going to be discharged from the hospital now?"
"Well, the doctor said I can go home and recuperate, so I want to be discharged early."
Seeing that Yan Su was of unusual status, Sister Yu diligently brought a stool over.
"I heard you gave birth, so I stopped by to see you."

"Thank you, Second Miss. Xiao Guoguo and I are both fine."
As he was speaking, little Guoguo started to make noises and babbled, attracting Yan Su's gaze towards the crib.
Sister Yu bent down and picked up Xiao Guoguo. After checking, she found that the baby had peed. Pei Ziheng immediately found a clean diaper and helped Sister Yu change the diaper. He put the changed diaper in a basin and took it to the bathroom to wash it.
Yan Su stared at Xiao Guoguo for a while, then turned to Shen Mingzhu and said, "The child looks quite like you."
Shen Mingzhu smiled and nodded.
After changing the diaper, little Guoguo did not continue to sleep, but opened his black eyes and looked at this and that.
Seeing that Yan Su was always staring at the child, Shen Mingzhu took the initiative to ask, "Second Miss, do you want to hug Xiao Guoguo?"
Without waiting for Yan Su to respond, Sister Yu had already handed the little Guoguo in her arms to her.
From Yan Su's awkwardness when picking up the child and the stiff posture he held the child, it can be seen that he has little experience.
Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but teach the other person how to hold a baby.
When they got back in the car, Yan Su was in a very good mood and told the driver to drive to Friendship Shopping Mall.
After entering the mall, Yan Su went straight to the jewelry counter and chose a pair of gold baby bracelets and a gold lock.
When checking out, the salesperson took out the receipt and asked Yan Su to sign it, but Yan Su waved his hand and said, "No need to record this. I'll pay in cash."
"Okay, Second Miss."
…
"Oh, this house is really nice, quiet and spacious. It's a good house to stay in in a busy place."
As soon as I stepped into the yard of the new house, Sister Yu started to praise me with a smile.
Shen Mingzhu also looked at the yard with curiosity. The last time she came here, the weeds in the yard had just been cleared away, revealing the bare soil.
Nowadays, flowers, plants and trees are planted in the soil, and bricks are used to build lace in different categories. The sidewalk in the middle is paved with brand new bluestone slabs, which makes it smooth to walk on without getting your shoes dirty.
The stone path extends all the way to the front entrance steps, and the living room is right after you walk up the steps and into the door.
The interior of the house has been completely renovated. The walls have been painted white and all the old mahogany furniture has been given a new coat of paint, making it shiny. The floor tiles are beige with natural patterns, and paired with the old vermilion lacquered furniture, the overall style is both classical and elegant.
"I haven't found a suitable crystal chandelier for the time being, so I just installed one at random. I'll go to the lighting market to look for one when I have time."
Hearing Pei Yang's words, Shen Mingzhu looked up subconsciously.
The main lamp in the living room is a very retro six-claw chandelier, each of which has a white lampshade in the shape of a magnolia.
"It's okay, this one looks pretty good too."
Seeing that she liked it, Pei Yang's expression relaxed and he took her to the master bedroom on the first floor.
The off-white wallpaper, light green floral curtains, walnut bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside stool are the pastoral style she imagined.
"How about it, do you like it?"
