Chapter 226 The Old Man Roars
In fact, it wasn't just Gu Guoliang's children who were sent to the countryside; Gu Guoping's children also had to go.
Gu Guoping's youngest son went to the countryside several years ago, and now they are trying to get him transferred back.
Gu Guoping is now capable of doing things himself, so he doesn't need to ask anyone else to take care of his children.
When his son was sent to the countryside, he had actually considered staying in Beijing, but then a series of unfortunate events occurred, so he decisively sent his son away, fearing that his son, being young and impetuous, might follow others and act recklessly.
Gu Hanchuan also received a call from Beijing while in his office.
Gu Hanchuan held the microphone far away, looking disgusted.
The old man's roar came through the phone, making Han Jinzhong's face turn into a colorful mess.
Only when the other person's voice softened did Gu Hanchuan bring the phone to his ear: "I know, the baby weighed 6.6 pounds at birth, very strong. Both mother and child are doing well now, and Nuannuan will be out of confinement soon and then go back to work."
"What about the child? Should we just let your cousin take care of him?"
"Otherwise what? Do you expect me to bring it?"
Gu Dongfang was so angry he almost fell over backwards!
"You bastard! Can't you speak properly?!"
Gu Hanchuan remained silent.
After shouting a few more times, Gu Dongfang said angrily, "I'll send someone over."
"No need." Gu Hanchuan refused without even thinking.
"Why not? Who knows if your cousin can take good care of the child? Besides, children are prone to illness and are too delicate. If you don't want my people to go, then let your wife go back to work a year later."
"That won't work."
Gu Dongfang laughed in exasperation: "Ha, you sure know how to talk fast! What's wrong? This arrangement won't work, that arrangement won't work, what do you want?"
"You just need to enjoy your retirement peacefully and don't need to worry about anything else. If we really can't manage, my grandma will help figure something out. I'm a grown man and I don't know how to take care of children, so you, an old man, are even less likely to."
The implication is that you shouldn't get involved and cause trouble.
But to Gu Dongfang, this had another layer of meaning.
Gu Hanchuan is trying to distance himself from him!
He'd rather trust the Li family's side in everything than be close to his own grandfather. How can this be allowed?
"No way! He's my great-grandson, how can I not care?"
"Don't you have enough great-grandchildren? Tell me, which of your grandchildren didn't give you a son?"
Gu Dongfang was so angry after being rebuked that his face turned red and his neck bulged.
Gu Hanchuan was also exhausted. He had come here to avoid getting involved in his family's affairs, but his father insisted on leading him into a pit. How could he possibly ruin his grandson's life like that?
"Alright, I still have training to do, so I won't chat with you any longer. You can just stay home and fish and play chess, and don't get involved in my affairs anymore."
Gu Hanchuan hung up the phone decisively, still pondering how to get Ye Nuan to eat more.
Ye Nuan doesn't have much breast milk, so Li Qiang is trying all sorts of ways to stew pig's trotters and pork hocks for her, hoping to increase her milk supply.
Otherwise, Ye Nuan probably won't have enough breast milk before the baby is 100 days old.
Ye Nuan was actually trying her best; she had indeed been eating less lately.
It's not that I'm intentionally controlling my diet; it's just that I have no appetite.
Ye Nuan drank crucian carp soup today, which is said to be the best for promoting lactation.
Surprisingly, it seems to actually work.
Seeing that her breast milk was indeed plentiful and that Xiao Liu wasn't fussing today, Li Qiang thought that she would have to buy crucian carp tomorrow.
"You probably drank too much pig's trotter soup, that's why you have no appetite. Let's switch it up from now on."
"Sis, you can add some salt, otherwise I really feel like throwing up when I drink it."
If you don't add enough salt to the pig's trotter soup, it can taste a bit fishy.
Li Qiang nodded: "Okay. At worst, we can have a steamed pear after we finish the soup."
Ye Nuan can't eat cold food now, so Li Qiang steams or boils the fruit for her. And it turns out, this method works quite well.
Perhaps because she ate a lot of vegetables and fruits during her postpartum period, Ye Nuan did not experience constipation, which was really thanks to the thoughtful care of her kind cousin.
My son, nicknamed "Little Cannon," has officially started working and has been very excited these past few days.
Ye Nuan could understand the feeling of suddenly being able to make money; it gave her a sense of being a pillar of the family.
Ye Nuan's maternity leave was not short; the hospital approved three months.
In other words, she will have to go back to work when her child turns 100 days old.
The child's formal name hasn't been chosen yet, but the nickname is Liu Liu, because it weighs six jin and six liang, and the number six is considered very auspicious in people's minds. It is hoped that the child will have a smooth and successful future, so we named him Liu Liu.
Perhaps because he was a boy, he was called Xiao Liu or Xiao Liuzi over time.
"Gu Hanchuan, have you thought of a name for the child?"
"Dad said he has to come up with this name, I'll call and ask him tomorrow."
"alright."
Grandpa naming his grandson is perfectly fine.
Meanwhile, back at the Ye family's place in Anshi, Li Xiu finally managed to get leave and quickly packed her things to take care of her daughter.
Yu Huiru originally said she could go too, but Li Xiu was worried. She felt it was better to see her own daughter in person.
When Ye Hehua heard that Li Xiu was going to Zhejiang Province, she immediately prepared a lot of things for him. But when she started packing, she found that there were too many things to take with him.
"It's okay, I can carry it."
Liu Zhengang stepped forward, looking smug: "I'm strong enough, I'll go take care of Sister Nuannuan."
Gu Hong booked the tickets to Zhejiang Province. The original plan was for the two of them to go together, but now that the time has come, Gu Hong can't go because she has to entertain her superiors.
There happened to be a free ticket available.
None of Ye Jiabian's father and sons could go, but Liu Zhengang, being a rural resident, could go directly with just a letter of introduction.
"Alright, let Gangzi go. Besides, Gangzi is tall and strong, and he'll have someone to protect you along the way."
Ye Anjia was initially a little worried, but after seeing Gangzi's big size, he immediately felt reassured.
Liu Zhengang had been used to farm work since he was a child and had plenty of strength. Moreover, because he had become close to Ye An's family in recent years, and Ye Nuan would send some food back almost every month, Liu Erniu's family was the best-off family in the whole village.
Who can blame Ye Hehua for being a city dweller?
Everyone knows that Liu Erniu has a formidable niece and nephew-in-law, so no one in the village dares to bully them.
Because of the good food they eat, Liu Zhengang and his sister have grown taller and stronger in recent years. In an era when every family lacked food and clothing, their physique was quite eye-catching.
And so, Liu Zhengang carried a large package on his back and a large suitcase in one hand, while Li Xiu only had a backpack and a small bundle left.
Sure enough, having a strong laborer makes everything easier and less strenuous, no matter where you go.
