[Chapter 267 Chapter 267 Confirmation of Identity]
After all, she had just given birth and was very weak.
After Shen Yuyao finished her meal, she fed the baby under the guidance of her mother and soon fell asleep.
At this time, Cheng Liyan had already washed the baby's diaper and hung it outside.
When he came back, he saw the untouched food on the table and said to Mrs. Shen apologetically, "Mother, you can eat when you are ready in the future. You don't have to wait."
Afraid that the old lady would think he was being polite, Cheng Liyan explained to her, “The doctor told me today that Yuyao is still very weak, and she needs to breastfeed, so she needs to eat more meals a day.
Besides, the weather is getting colder, and I am afraid that she will catch a cold if she keeps getting up and lying down. So I don't let her get out of bed if she can, and she can just eat at the small table.
I have to go to work tomorrow. I don't know if I can get back on time for dinner.
So, mom, let's not be so particular. It's a special situation, so let's do whatever is convenient for us, okay?"
Listening to everything her son-in-law said, the implication was that he put his daughter first. What else could Mrs. Shen be dissatisfied with?
She agreed immediately.
The two of them ate something casually, and Cheng Liyan started to get busy again.
He knew very well that his mother-in-law was the prime minister's wife and there were always many people serving her.
In the past, when watching movies, the big landlords had to hire a special maid to fan them. Cheng Liyan guessed that his mother-in-law not only had to fan them at home, but also had to have a special person to bring them basins and pour water!
There is no need for anyone to tell you this; you can tell by just looking at the old man’s appearance and demeanor.
When they sit there, even if they are not wearing any gold or silver, their aura cannot be underestimated.
At a time like this, if I don't have some eyes and keep the house well managed, how can people trust the girl to be left to me?
For the sake of his wife and to avoid any future rifts among the family, Cheng Liyan now undertakes all the housework without regrets and also wishes to do everything to perfection.
After finishing his meal, Cheng Liyan went to clean up the hut immediately.
My mother-in-law doesn’t know how long she will stay, but no matter how long she stays, she has to make the old lady as comfortable as possible within her ability.
Cheng Liyan first dug out the new bedding that Master Ding had helped to make for them when they got married and took it out to the yard to dry in the sun.
This way you can lay the floor in the afternoon.
The bedding was brand new inside and out and had never been used. The old lady shouldn't mind it.
After packing up his bedding, Cheng Liyan discussed with the old lady about going out.
"Mom, the situation here is different from other places. After all, we are a military unit and the management is relatively strict. I have some things to deal with." Cheng Liyan said to Mrs. Shen.
Old Madam Shen understood that Cheng Liyan was going to solve his own identity problem.
She had actually guessed this before.
When she went out in the morning, she heard Cheng Liyan introduce herself to others as his godmother more than once. She thought he wanted to make this identity a reality.
So the old lady nodded immediately and said: "You can go, don't worry about the things at home. It's not like mother can't do everything. I'll take care of Yuyao and the child here."
With the old lady's words, Cheng Liyan felt much more relieved.
He also specifically explained to the old lady how to open the door, how to turn on the lights and how to turn on the faucet, promised that he would be back before dark, and then hurried away on his bicycle.
The first place Cheng Liyan went to was the guard post at the main gate.
There are also sentries standing guard at the gate of the family compound.
Although it is not as strictly controlled as the division headquarters gate, registration is still required for entry and exit.
Fortunately, this is just a family compound, and Cheng Liyan was previously in charge of the guard battalion, and the sentinels are actually soldiers of the guard battalion.
Therefore, Cheng Liyan can still find some loopholes if he wants to.
He first registered Old Madam Shen in the duty book, registering her as his godmother, and wrote that the purpose of his visit was to visit relatives from Pingyang County.
He made some changes to the visiting time and simply wrote this morning.
If this is changed, if someone investigates in the future, they will only think that the old man went directly to the hospital and came back with them.
Although the sentries stand guard 24 hours a day, they need to change shifts during this period.
After Cheng Liyan made this change, no one could tell when the old lady came to the yard, or which shift she was on.
Besides, there are so many people coming and going in the hospital. Unless something happens later, someone will specifically investigate it, just like what happened to Wei Chengshan’s family back then.
Generally, when a guest comes to a house, as long as the people in the courtyard recognize and confirm that he or she is a relative, many people will not register.
After all, not many people in the countryside can read these days.
Not to mention people coming from my hometown, even among the military dependents there are few who can fill out the registration form clearly.
Therefore, Cheng Liyan was already very abiding by the rules by coming here to complete this formality.
After completing the formalities, Cheng Liyan rode his bike to the city post office and then made a long-distance call to Wang Pingyuan.
In fact, the division headquarters has long-distance calls, and Cheng Liyan can make long-distance calls directly from his own office.
But now all calls need to be transferred manually, not to mention in the military, where everyone’s phone may be monitored by the operator team.
To be safe, he decided to make this trip.
Cheng Liyan called and asked someone to help find Wang Pingyuan, and then called again ten minutes later.
When I called again, Wang Pingyuan had probably just arrived and was still panting when he spoke.
Wang Pingyuan obviously didn't expect Cheng Liyan to look for him at this time. There was still surprise in his tone. The first thing he said after answering the phone was: "What happened? If you need any help, just tell me directly."
Cheng Liyan immediately laughed and said, "Can't you think of me a little better? Does it mean something bad has happened for me to call you? I just want to tell you that your sister-in-law has given birth to a boy, and I'm a father now!"
Wang Pingyuan was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter.
There was genuine joy in his tone.
He congratulated Cheng Liyan several times, and then said that he would definitely find time to go over there in the next two days, and would bring his wife to visit his brother's wife and his little nephew.
Cheng Liyan then said to him: "Brother Wang, don't rush over, just help me with something."
Only then did he tell Wang Pingyuan that he needed a letter of introduction.
Cheng Liyan did not dare to mention the specific relationship between the old lady and his family. He only said that a relative came to help take care of Shen Yuyao during her confinement.
But the old man was old and accidentally lost the letter of introduction on the way.
It would be too troublesome to ask her to go back and make up for it now, but she urgently needs to go to the street office to apply for a temporary residence permit.
So I would like to ask Wang Pingyuan for a favor and open one for me.
Wang Pingyuan agreed immediately without any hesitation.
