"Grandpa, I'm sorry to bother you again." They sat down on the sofa and started to exchange pleasantries. As the head of the family, Zhong Jing was also the spokesperson.
"Don't bother me. We're all family, so what do you mean by bothering me? It's so formal." Old Master Yan was happy, pleased that only the Zhong family came this time. Having someone who couldn't be easily manipulated didn't spoil the fun. Fortunately, the Zhong family were sensible and didn't bring that kind of person with them. "You've worked hard on the journey. The train ride is tiring. It's exhausting to eat and sleep poorly."
That's what riding a train is like. Be wary of thieves and criminals, and hold onto your wallet and valuables. If there aren't many people on the train, you can't sleep for a moment. It's okay if you're close by, but if you're too far away, it's really exhausting.
"It's not hard, it's not hard at all. Grandpa, how is Yuxiu?" Zhong Jing shook his head and asked with concern.
Old Master Yan said, "Yuxiu's vitality has been damaged. The doctor recommended that she stay in bed for two months, which means two months. But it will be hard on her. This child can't sit still. Making her lie down for two months and do nothing is really putting her in a difficult position."
Feng Jianhong and Zhong Jing's hearts skipped a beat. "Is it really that serious?"
"Yuxiu gave birth quickly, which was considered a good thing. She gave birth to three children, all three of whom were born within an hour of being taken to the hospital. If she had given birth more slowly, it would have been more harmful to her body."
"Third baby?!"
The son-in-law didn't tell them! They always thought it was just one baby.
"Don't you know that Yuxiu is pregnant with her third child?" Old Master Yan was also stunned.
At this time, Yan Rushan came down from upstairs and continued, "Grandpa, I forgot to tell you two before, and then I never thought about it. It's our fault."
"You guys! Young people are not careful in their behavior. Please don't mind it, in-laws." Old Master Yan seemed to be scolding his eldest grandson, but in fact he was still making excuses for him. "Yuxiu gave birth to three boys for our Yan family. She is a great contributor to our Yan family."
Feng Jianhong and Zhong Jing were both stunned, their heads buzzing. Three babies? One was hard to give birth to, let alone three. No wonder she'd lost her energy and needed two months of confinement.
Their worry and confusion didn't seem fake. Old Master Yan nodded repeatedly with satisfaction and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, in-laws. Dashan goes out every day just to give Yuxiu nourishing foods."
"For Yuxiu's speedy recovery, we didn't let her breastfeed. We bought the milk powder for the children. If the children competed with their mother for nutrients, it would have harmed Yuxiu's health, so we stopped feeding them long ago. Therefore, you can relax. Everyone in our Yan family truly loves Yuxiu. She is a good child. We are not a heartless family and will definitely take good care of Yuxiu's health."
"Family planning is very strict now, so we'll just have this one baby. After that, Yuxiu will be able to recover after a few years of nursing her."
Zhong Jing took a deep breath and sighed, then came back to his senses and said, "Grandpa-in-law is right. Maybe we can go see Yuxiu?"
"Of course, please come in." Old Master Yan politely invited, "Dashan, take my in-laws upstairs to talk to Yuxiu."
"Okay." Yan Rushan turned around and said to the two of them, "Please go upstairs. Yuxiu just finished her meal."
Zhong Jing nodded and went upstairs with Feng Jianhong. When they pushed the door open, Yan Rushan said, "Yuxiu, Zhong's parents are here to see you."
She didn't know what to address him, and Yan Rushan couldn't say the Zhong family had come to see her; that would probably be disheartening. They cared about their daughter, traveling thousands of miles and bringing so many bags to visit. Their heart was worth changing their words.
Zhong Yuxiu leaned against the head of the bed, her eyes fixed on the old couple who followed in; their concern for her was heartwarming, but it did not arouse much enthusiasm in her.
"You're here."
The girl on the bed had a rosy complexion. After recuperating for ten days or so, the weakness and paleness she had felt during childbirth had subsided. Even though her vitality had been damaged, she now looked younger than many women who had given birth in the countryside.
"Yuxiu, we came to see you." Feng Jianhong pulled Zhong Jing and walked forward bravely.
Yan Rushan brought them stools and said, "Please sit down, both of you."
"Thank you." Zhong Jing nodded and thanked him, then sat down with Feng Jianhong.
"You two can talk for a while. I'll go see if there's anything to eat in the kitchen. You two elders just arrived and probably haven't had lunch yet. I'll ask the nanny to make some for you. You can just have a bite first, and I'll prepare a welcome dinner for you two in the evening." Yan Rushan was thoughtful in his words and considered them in every way.
"Thank you, you don't have to prepare any special dishes, just eat whatever you want; otherwise, we won't dare to come next time." The last time I ate and drank here for three days, and every time I come here, the food is like Chinese New Year.
Yan Rushan smiled and looked at Yuxiu. When she nodded, he said goodbye and went downstairs.
When going downstairs, I don't know whether Yan Rushan did it on purpose or unintentionally; the door of the room was wide open. Since there was a heater installed in the living room, there was no need to worry about the cold wind blowing in through the door.
Feng Jianhong glanced at the door, stood up, and walked over to it, leaving it ajar. "Yuxiu, you can't be exposed to the cold wind at this moment, and you can't touch anything cold. Remember, you young people just don't pay attention. It's okay now, but when you get old, all kinds of problems will appear."
Zhong Yuxiu paused, and the long-lost earnest advice came out, which was a caring advice from her mother.
She didn't say anything. Feng Jianhong subconsciously felt that she was impatient to listen to this, and her mentality withered. "Yuxiu, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say it anymore. But, your health is the most important thing, you have to take care of it."
"I understand, thank you." She thanked him lightly. Zhong Yuxiu didn't dislike her concern, but she wasn't very touched either.
Feng Jianhong felt a little distressed, his eyes subconsciously turned red, and he slowly swallowed the bitterness in his heart.
Zhong Jing glanced at her and said to Yuxiu, "We're relieved to see that you're in good health. Jiaquan and his wife didn't come this time and are staying home to look after the house. We're here to see you and will leave tomorrow."
Yuxiu was stunned. Seeing Feng Jianhong lowering her head and wiping her eyes, she felt bad too. "Since you're here, why don't you stay here for a few more days?"
"Yes, okay." Feng Jianhong agreed excitedly.
Zhong Jing smiled helplessly. He was relieved and expectant that his daughter's attitude had softened; at least, they saw a glimmer of hope.
"Have you seen the children?" Not knowing how to get along with them, Yuxiu changed the subject and tried to find something to talk about related to Workers' Stadium.
"Not yet. We heard you had your third child when we got here, but we forgot about it in our rush." Feng Jianhong paused. "Let's go downstairs and see what the doctor said. Is it really okay to just rest for a while?"
Zhong Yuxiu nodded. "Yes, Grandpa and Rushan prepared a new medicine for me. I should drink it after the first month of confinement. By then, I won't need to observe the double confinement period."
She didn't dare take any medicine randomly during the confinement period, otherwise she would have been out by now.
Feng Jianhong and Zhong Jing looked at each other, confused.
