Aunt Lu didn't even look at Ling Yifei's expression, and asked the old lady with a smile, "Auntie, I'm going to the cafeteria. Is there anything I can buy for you?"
The old lady waved her hand, "It's alright, we just ate at home and came over. We'll talk about it after my grandson-in-law finishes his work."
The women accompanying their children on the opposite bed exchanged glances. A well-dressed middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Auntie, your family is so lucky to have such a handsome and capable grandson-in-law."
Ying Yan returned to the capital, and thanks to his sworn brothers, everyone in several large courtyards knew about it.
Before everyone could laugh at them, they accomplished several things in a spectacular fashion.
For example, he partnered with Charles to start Hanks. While they were watching and waiting to see him fail, the store's advertisements suddenly and violently appeared all over the city like a torrential downpour. Most people in Kyoto had heard of the store, not to mention its very prominent location, right next to the department store in the city center.
The bright red signboard, the two-meter-tall human idol, the fountain in the square directly opposite the gate, the row of electric rocking cars outside the gate that make children cry, and the unique music—everything about it is so distinctive.
Gradually, going to Hanks has become a topic of conversation, a way of life that is not associated with capitalism, but rather a place for people to find peace of mind. It is a transit point for people to indulge themselves a little and spend money to enjoy themselves before continuing their journey in formal attire!
Business was booming, making people envious. No matter what tricks or schemes anyone tried to use in secret, Ying Yan silently defeated them all.
Ying Yan didn't know what being low-key meant. He always acted on his own whims. He led the establishment of four well-known real estate agencies in Kyoto. His first case was helping a homeowner recover a house that the organization had returned.
There were also many such industries in the four compounds, which caused a great stir, and then soon returned to calm.
No one knew why Old Master Qin was gone. This young man who went to the countryside as an educated youth and then returned to the city had such abilities that many forces were rendered powerless overnight because of him.
When everyone finally realized Ying Yan's value and tried to build a relationship or arrange a marriage, they were told that a village girl had already beaten them to it! They were furious and regretful.
After they calmed down, they still tried to befriend Ying Yan.
The old lady nodded happily, "That's right, my granddaughter is so lucky, she got engaged to her husband so early. The young couple's life is getting better and better."
"The Qin family's house is still standing. Are you planning to spend the New Year there this year?"
Last year, Ying Yan spent the Lunar New Year with Ke Meiyu in the courtyard, just like when the old man was alive. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were many people coming and going to pay their respects.
"That depends on my grandson-in-law's wishes. He's a kind-hearted and sentimental young man, so he'll probably spend the New Year in the compound. With another pair of children on the way, we old folks will probably have to join them too." The old lady peeled oranges one after another, finishing five in total, and then washed an apple.
Ke Meiyu's mouth was never idle. After finishing these, she started munching on authentic honey-glazed fried dough twists and ginger shreds, eating one after another.
I can't help but envy the two pregnant women opposite me.
One of the voices said softly and hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, pregnant women should eat small, frequent meals. It's best to eat less oily and sweet food, otherwise it will cause too much internal heat."
Ke Meiyu smiled and nodded, "I know, that's how ordinary people should do it. But I've always had a big appetite, my stomach is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much I eat, I don't gain weight."
"I was greedy and couldn't help eating. But don't follow my example."
With many people helping, the old man, Ying Yan, and two young men quickly moved the things over and filled the space under the bed.
The old lady directed her husband and grandson-in-law to sort out the necessary items into categories for easy access.
She had just taken out the food box when a group of people rushed into the room.
Mr. and Mrs. Ke took leave from work and brought over a meal. Upon receiving the news, the Ke brothers also arrived with their wives and the things they had prepared.
However, given the small size of the ward and the presence of other families, they would come in twos, exchange a few words with Ke Meiyu, discuss the duration of their stay, and then leave.
Time was tight, so Ke's mother got the food from the cafeteria.
After dinner, Ke Meiyu went for a stroll in the corridor. This was the VIP ward; the corridors and stairs outside the regular wards were full of people.
In winter, it's cold, doors and windows are tightly closed, and various smells permeate the air.
She couldn't go downstairs either, she just leaned on the railing and looked down a couple of times.
In the short time it takes to eat a meal, everyone in the VIP ward heard that Ying Yan's wife was about to give birth, and they all came over with gifts.
She was surrounded by people, like a giant panda being observed.
Ying Yan had a cold and aloof expression, like a gatekeeper. Not just anyone could successfully put down the nutritional supplements, nor could anyone get a few words or a smile from him.
After that, a note was posted on the door stating that the pregnant woman needed to rest and that visitors were not allowed.
At this moment, Ke Meiyu was surrounded by a bunch of malted milk powder, milk powder, canned food, fruit, candy, and pastries!
Compared to Ke Meiyu and Ying Yan's popularity, the people on the two beds opposite could at least exchange a few words with the newcomer. Ling Yifei, however, was completely ignored, sitting there awkwardly with a book, unable to turn a single page for ages!
It was so infuriating that her stomach started hurting more frequently, and she was taken to the hospital in the evening.
Ke Meiyu woke up comfortably.
Ke's mother had already started using the stove on the balcony, cooking pork rib rice porridge and steaming meat buns. "I can see that you're in pain enough. Hurry up and finish eating. You can't eat salty food during your postpartum period after giving birth."
