Chapter 504 - Discharge from the Hospital
Chapter 504 Discharge from the Hospital
After hearing his father, Xiao Tong froze for a moment.
But then, he opened his eyes a little and gave his father a disdainful look. Then…
“Oh, the baby peed!” Mother Xiao was arranging the baby’s clothes and diapers when she saw the baby peeing on Gong Tianhao.
Gong Tianhao,”…” He definitely saw the deliberate gaze the brat shot him.
Mother Xiao noticed Gong Tianhao, who was in a daze and immediately took the baby from his hands. She smiled and said, “Tianhao, why is the child so against you? Haha…”
Gong Tianhao,”…” He also wanted to know.
Mother Xiao looked at her chubby grandson and said with a laugh, “Baby, why do you dislike your father so much? Your father dotes on you very much and loves you very much.”
After the child peed, he fell back into a deep sleep. He didn’t hear his grandmother.
‘Hmph. This man is here to snatch mommy from me!’ Of course, no one knew what Xiao Tong was thinking.
Mother Xiao skillfully changed the baby’s diaper, tidied up his clothes, and gently placed him next to Xiao Lingyu. Then, she looked at the baby and said with a smile, “Our baby is really beautiful.”
Xiao Lingyu had expended a lot of energy during the birth. Therefore, she spent most of her days lying in bed. Occasionally, she would get down from the bed to move around.
Xiao Lingyu looked at the baby next to her and said with a smile, “Yes, the baby is really beautiful!”
Mother Xiao said, “Yu ‘Er, you will be discharged from the hospital soon. Are you feeling well?”
Xiao Lingyu nodded. “Yes, I feel fine.” She was a little tired at first, but she felt better after a long sleep. It was probably the effect of the spring water. She gave birth yesterday afternoon, and she could already leave the hospital today.
She didn’t want to stay at the hospital for too long. Even if she had a VIP ward with great disinfection, the baby had weak resistance. She wanted to go back as soon as possible. To give birth to a healthy baby, Xiao Lingyu took good care of her health.
At that moment, Gong Tianhao came back after cleaning his shirt from his son’s pee. Following behind him were Father Xiao, Xiao Lingyun, and the two girls.
They were here to pick up Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Tong.
Mother Xiao was wrapping a scarf after Xiao Lingyu’s head. It was to shield her from the wind. The next month was the most important moment for a new mother. If she had a good Yue Zi, she would heal well.
Gong Tianhao took a coat from the side and helped Xiao Lingyu put it on. Autumn had gone, and they were entering winter. Inside the hospital, there were heaters to keep them warm, but outside, the cold wind was bone-piercing
When Mother Xiao saw this, she immediately took off the coat and said, “Tianhao, the coat looks fashionable, but it’s too thin. Yu ‘Er needs something thicker.”
Then, she put on a thick cotton-padded jacket for Xiao Lingyu. The moment she put it on, Xiao Lingyu felt especially warm. Gong Tianhao, “…”
Looking at Xiao Lingyu, who was wearing a bloated coat, Gong Tianhao felt that Xiao Lingyu was very cute and couldn’t help but smile.
“…” Xiao Lingyu said unhappily, “I know I look ugly in this large jacket, but you don’t need to smile at me.”
Mother Xiao chided her, “Xiao Lingyu, what do you mean? Tianhao is smiling because you’re cute in the jacket.”
Xiao Lingyu, “…” Ever since they got married, her position in her parents’ hearts had plummeted. They favored their son-in-law more and more.
Gong Tianhao tidied Xiao Lingyu’s hair and clothes and said with a smile, “Mom, Yu ‘Er looks so cute in this outfit!”
Xiao Lingyu had spent a few years in the big city and worked hard in the workplace for a few years in her previous life. Her taste in clothes was definitely fashionable. Even after she was pregnant, her clothes were impeccable.
However, the cotton-padded jacket was like an ugly sweater. It was more functional than fashionable.
Mother Xiao chuckled, “She does look cute. But…” Mother Xiao said with a serious expression, “For this month, she has to pay close attention to things. Don’t stand out in the wind. Don’t take cold water or icy things. Got it?” Mother Xiao sternly instructed.
Xiao Lingyu nodded. “Got it, Mom!”
Gong Tianhao secretly nodded and remembered this too.
“Also, you should not shed any tears during this month.”
“Okay, I know.”
Gong Tianhao nodded his head to show that he also remembered.
Father Xiao said with a smile, “Have you packed everything? The cars are waiting outside.”
Xiao Lingyun came in to help clean up. Rourou and Lulu lay by the bed and looked at their newborn cousin.
“Is this our new little brother? He’s so pretty and cute!” When they saw their fair and tender little cousin lying on the bed, the eyes of the two elder sisters immediately lit up.
“But he’s so small!” Rourou said in confusion, “Mommy, why is our little brother so small?”
When she asked this, her little hand reached out to pinch the baby’s face and exclaimed, “Little Brother’s face is very easy to pinch. It’s soft and smooth.”
Lulu also went forward and pinched her little cousin’s face. She nodded in agreement and said, “Little Brother is so tender!”
The adults, “…”
Xiao Lingyun went forward and gently patted the two children. She smiled and said, “Lulu, Rourou, you can’t pinch your little brother at
will.”
“Why?” The two sisters asked in puzzlement.
“Because little brother is too young now,” Xiao Lingyun explained, “If you pinch him, he will hurt. Do you understand?”
The two little babies nodded and said, “Yes, yes, we understand. Mom, why is little brother so small?”
Xiao Lingyun said, “Hehe, when you were born, you were even smaller. Your brother weighs more than seven pounds, while you only weighed six pounds.” Xiao Lingyun gestured with her hands.
Back then, when she was told she was carrying girls, the Cheng Family didn’t care about her at all. Fortunately, her parents were there for her. When she couldn’t cook, she went to her parent’s house to eat. It was thanks to her parents that Xiao Lingyun managed to give birth to the two girls safely.
When she thought about how hard it was at that time, Xiao Lingyun couldn’t help but show some bitterness.
Fortunately, things had changed. She was now living very well with her daughters with her maiden family.
The two girls couldn’t believe they were once smaller than their little brother.
“Then, mother, will little brother grow bigger? Will he get as big as us?” Lulu asked curiously.
“Of course.” Xiao Lingyun patted Lulu’s head and said with a smile, “In four to five years, your little brother will be as big as you are now. You have to eat well and not be picky-eaters so that you can grow up to protect your little brother, alright?”
When the girls first returned to Taoyuan Village, they ate everything. After all, they were used to being starved by the Cheng Family. However, after they were sure there was enough food, they started to become pickier. Xiao Lingyun had lectured them a few times, but they didn’t change.
When the two little babies heard this, their eyes lit up, and they immediately nodded. “Yes, yes. In the future, we won’t be picky about food anymore. We have to grow up big, tall, to protect our little brother.”
Xiao Lingyun said with great relief, “That would be great.” In the past, no matter how hard she lectured them, they wouldn’t change their ways. However, with their brother’s arrival, they promised to stop being picky eaters.
At this time, Xiao Lingyu also said with a smile, “Lulu, Rourou, your little brother is still young, so he needs you as his older sisters to protect him. When he’s older, he’ll protect you back.” Lulu asked with some confusion, “But Aunty, we are elder sisters. Shouldn’t we always protect brother?”
“But your brother is a man.” Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “He’ll grow up tall to protect
you.”
“Oh. Okay.” The two little girls nodded with some understanding.
After a while, Lulu whispered to her younger sister, “If that’s the case, then I don’t wish for little brother to grow up. In this way, we will always be the elder sisters protecting little brother.”
The adults, “…”
The children were so innocent and cute.
At this moment, the baby suddenly cried out. Mother Xiao thought he was hungry or his diaper needed changing, but that was not the case.
Mother Xiao frowned. “Is he disagreeing with his two sisters?”
Gong Tianhao, “…” His gaze deepened.
His son was different from others. It confirmed his guess. If Xiao Tong had reincarnated, would he have misunderstanding against his father? After all, Gong Tianhao was never a part of his life in Xiao Lingyu’s previous life.
In his previous life, Xiao Tong had suffered a lot, so Gong Tianhao understood if he had some reservations about his father.
In this life, he would definitely be by their side.
However, Gong Tianhao did not know that accidents always happen. It could be natural or man-made.
This accident caused Gong Tianhao, who should be with his wife and son wait for another four years before he would reunite with them.
Life was like a dramatic story.
Xiao Lingyu thought that her family of three would finally be together in this life after they missed out on that chance in her previous life. However, she later found out God had more trials for her. Her happiness was destroyed in that instant.
However, many years later, she understood that the accident had made their life more interesting
“Alright, pack your things. Let’s leave,” Father Xiao said. Then, he said to Mother Xiao, “Qiuying, let me carry the child.”
Everyone loved Xiao Tong. Even his grandfather, Father Xiao only had a small window to carry his grandson. His little grandson was so beautiful and cute that he wanted to keep it in his arms.
Mother Xiao rolled her eyes and said unhappily, “No. You’re so clumsy. You’re not going to carry my grandson well.”
Father Xiao was speechless. “But I’ve already raised two children. Didn’t I carry Yu ‘Er and Ye ‘Er when they were young?”
“…” Mother Xiao immediately defended herself, “Oh, did someone forget that once he carried the two children, they cried non-stop?”
Gong Tianhao, “…” Did his father-in-law face the same situation as he did now?
Father Xiao’s expression became a little shy as he said, “That only happened once or twice. Qiuying, I want to hug my grandson. I only hugged him for a short while yesterday before he was taken away.”
However, Mother Xiao refused immediately, “No. You’re so clumsy. I’m afraid that you’ll make my good grandson cry. The weather is freezing now. What if my precious grandson cries?”
“…” Father Xiao sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll hug him to my heart’s content when we’re home!”
Then, the group of people carried their belongings to the entrance of the hospital.
There were two cars. Including the driver, there were more than ten people.
“Mother, I want to share a car with little brother.” The moment they came out, Lulu told Xiao Lingyun.
“I want to share a car with little brother too!” Rourou added.
If the two girls wanted to share a car with Xiao Tong, then their mother had to accompany them.
“This…” Xiao Lingyun hesitated.
“Alright, let’s share a car.” Mother Xiao said decisively, “Yu ‘Er’s family of three and Yun ‘Er’s family of three will take the same car. The rest of you can take the other car.”
“That’s overloading.” Father Xiao said disapprovingly, “There are already seven people in one car, including the driver. This won’t do.”
Father Xiao had always taken traffic safety very seriously.
“No, we want to be in the same car as little brother.” Lulu and Rourou were very stubborn.
Gong Tianhao said, “Mom, how about this? Yu ‘Er should be able to take care of the two girls. Sister-in-law doesn’t need to worry. The road from here to home is very smooth. It’ll be fine.”
Xiao Lingyun nodded and said, “Alright then.”
Father Xiao frowned. “But there’s still one more extra person.”
Gong Tianhao, “…”
Father Xiao was still very insistent on this point.
They had to abide by the traffic rules no matter what.
This was for the safety of the family.
