Chapter 547: Gossip Survival System (46)

Xie Yang and Gu Yu'an, who had entered last, exchanged a smile: This kid, no one knows who he takes after, there isn't anything he doesn't like to eat.

While eating, Xie Yang spoke to Gu Yu'an about some business: "Miao Miao was admitted to the hospital yesterday and could give birth at any time. I plan to swing by the hospital to see her before I go to work later."

Gu Yu'an placed a piece of egg pancake in her bowl: "Mm, I'll take the kids."

Gu Xi was eating a piece of egg pancake with great relish, but his ears were sharp; he raised his little face and chimed in: "Mom, I'll go with you."

"You and your uncle are both going to school." Xie Yang urged her son to eat quickly, "Be good. When the holidays come, I'll send you to see Grandma and Grandpa."

These past few years, either during summer or winter break, they would always send Xiao Shitou back to Dongjiang County to stay for a few days. The Chen Family doted on him so much that the kid loved going there.

The little guy pouted: "Alright then. Although the snacks at kindergarten are terrible, if I don't eat them, Mom's money will be deducted, so I guess I'll go."

"..."

Who exactly does this kid take after?

He's only three, yet he has a whole set of reasons for everything.

Xie Lei glanced at his little nephew: "You should be content! There aren't even terrible snacks at elementary school."

"Uncle, you're so pitiful. Then you should eat more! If you're full, you won't be hungry."

Gu Xi handed the egg pancake he had taken a bite of to his uncle and reached out to take another one from the plate. Being able to eat an extra bite is truly great!

"..."

Xie Yang and Gu Yu'an looked at each other.

The couple exchanged glances:

—This must take after you, right?

—Impossible! Even I am not as shrewd as him now.

—...

After finishing breakfast, Gu Yu'an took the two children to school first.

The kindergarten is right next to the elementary school, so there was no need to worry about who to drop off first; one trip took care of it.

However, the kindergarten provides lunch snacks, while the elementary school does not; one needs to bring their own lunch. It is brought in the morning, placed in the Canteen Steamer according to the class, and picked up at noon.

"Lei Lei, eat something simple for lunch today. In the evening after school, Sister will pick you and Xi Xi up to go to Grandma's house, and we'll have a good meal tonight."

As Xie Yang spoke, she sealed the lunchbox tightly, placed it into a handmade lunch bag, pulled the drawstring shut, and handed it to Xie Lei.

Xie Lei had just caught a glimpse; it was the Chinese sausage his sister had made herself, mixed with green peas, Corn kernels, and diced carrots, all stirred into washed rice. Once at the Canteen, he would just add water and put it in the Steamer, and by noon, it would be a box of sausage mixed rice.

And this is called simple?

His classmates couldn't be more envious of him!

He grinned: "Sister, I just love eating mixed rice."

Xie Yang said with a smile: "It's certainly fine to eat it occasionally. Tonight we'll have chicken soup, eat chicken meat, and there are also the small yellow croaker fish your brother-in-law's unit issued; Sister will fry them until they're crispy for you all."

"Great!"

"Mom, and Xi Xi too! Xi Xi wants to eat too!"

"Alright, listen to your teacher at school, okay?"

"Got it."

Gu Yu'an hauled the two children out the door, and with his back to them, he lowered his head and pecked his wife on the corner of her mouth: "Call my office if anything happens."

"Dad, hurry up!"

The children were urging him from outside the door.

Director Gu sighed silently; when will he ever be able to have some time alone with his wife?

He went downstairs, pushed his bicycle out of the shed, and Director Gu carried the two boys to school.

Actually, with his current position, he is qualified for an official car.

But the two children just love sitting on his bicycle, especially the little one, who sits on the front bar, resting his hands in front, and excitedly waves to greet any peers he sees:

"Hello, Junjun!"

"Goodbye, Tong Tong!"

"Tie Dan, why are you still playing?"

"..."

In the entire residential area, there isn't a single peer he doesn't know.

On this point, even Gu Yu'an, as his father, feels inferior.

According to Xie Yang, he is just a natural little social butterfly.

Ever since this lively treasure joined the family, they are never lonely wherever they go.

She tidied up the house, changed into her work clothes, and headed out as well.

She rode her bicycle to the obstetrics and gynecology hospital first.

Zheng Miaomiao was nearing her due date, and Zheng Shu and Miao Yi were worried, so they had her admitted to the maternity ward in advance to avoid any panic if she suddenly went into labor.

Xie Yang only found out yesterday evening when she ran into Tang, who is Zheng Miaomiao's husband, in front of the Unit Building after work.

Zheng Miaomiao's husband is a police inspector at the Public Security Bureau; Gu Yu'an introduced them to each other after he transferred to the bureau.

They dated for half a year and got married in the middle of last year; their marital home was assigned on the fourth floor of the building diagonally behind Xie Yang's house.

Standing in front of the back window of her own kitchen, Xie Yang could see the south balcony of Zheng Miaomiao's home.

However, Zheng Miaomiao's home was assigned a two-bedroom apartment; it was a bit small, but fortunately, Tang's hometown is in the surrounding countryside.

He is the youngest in his family and has three older brothers above him; his parents live with the eldest, so they generally wouldn't come to live at their youngest son's house unless there were special circumstances.

The Zheng family is even closer, right across the street in the Family Building built by the department store itself. So, the couple lives in this apartment alone, and even with a child, the two-bedroom is enough for now.

Xie Yang parked her bicycle and hurried to find Zheng Miaomiao's ward, carrying a tin of goat milk powder that even a newborn could drink.

Unexpectedly, before she could say a few words, she saw Zheng Miaomiao knit her brows: "Ahhh! I think I'm going into labor! My stomach suddenly hurts so much!"

"..."

After a flurry of chaos, Zheng Miaomiao was wheeled into the delivery room.

Xie Yang waited outside with Miao Lan.

"I should have let Tang stay a while longer if I had known."

Miao Lan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

Her son-in-law had stayed at the hospital to keep watch last night and only left for his workplace this morning after having breakfast with her daughter.

As it turned out, no sooner had he left than the baby arrived to report for duty.

Xie Yang said, "When Miao Miao comes out, I'll go to the office and call Gu Yu'an, and have him pass a message to Tang to ask for leave and come over if there's nothing urgent at work."

Miao Lan nodded; that was all they could do.

"Your Zheng Shu had a meeting this morning, otherwise he would have come over with me. I didn't expect labor to start three days early..."

Then, she would occasionally mutter, "Bodhisattva bless," hoping her daughter would have a safe and smooth delivery.

Her daughter had been in poor health when she was young, and although she hadn't had many major or minor illnesses in recent years, a mother always worries.

She didn't know how much time had passed, long enough that Xie Yang couldn't help but wonder, does giving birth really take this long?

Not to mention other planes, but three years ago when she gave birth to Gu Xi, it seemed to be over in less than half an hour.

【That is because you, Host, had consumed a Physical Fitness Potion, and all your physical indicators had reached the maximum optimal level, so giving birth was just like laying an egg.】

"..."

If you don't know how to describe it, you don't have to describe it.

After waiting for quite a while longer, the delivery room door finally opened, and a nurse came out carrying a swaddled infant: "Family of Bed 16, Zheng Miaomiao!"

"Here, here!" Miao Lan walked forward excitedly, "Nurse, I am Zheng Miaomiao's mother."

"Both mother and daughter are safe! The mother is a bit exhausted, but it's not a major issue; she will recover after resting well once she is moved to the ward."

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Miao Lan took the tiny bundle of her granddaughter, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Giving birth really is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman.

Especially since her Miao Miao had always been frail, it truly tugged at her parents' heartstrings.
