Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Get in the car!"

Wang Erhai flew into a rage.

Wang Changgen had just gotten out of the car when he urged Wang Changgen to get back in.

"Get in the car for what! We just got here!"

Wang Changgen wore a long face.

Wang Erhai said:

"Taking you back to Shangou Village right now! You running your mouth like this, are you trying to ruin Big Brother and Sister-in-law's relationship!"

Wang Changgen quibbled:

"I didn't mean that!"

Wang Erhai said:

"Unless you promise me that when you see Sister-in-law later, you shut your trap, I won't take you to see them!"

Wang Changgen was speechless:

"We're already downstairs; if you won't go, I'll go myself. I'll ask around door to door — I don't believe I can't find them!"

Wang Erhai was so angry he laughed, and could only say:

"When you see Sister-in-law later, can you just say a few words less, okay? I'm begging you!"

Wang Erhai didn't even dare imagine what Du Xiaojuan would think if she heard Wang Changgen's words.

Before long, Wang Erhai brought Wang Changgen to the 12th floor of this postpartum center and found the room Du Xiaojuan was staying in.

Pressed the doorbell.

Before long Wang Dashan came to open the door.

"Dad, how come you're here at this hour?"

Wang Dashan's weary face carried a bitter smile.

"Didn't I say I was coming today? Where's the child? Let me see the child!"

Wang Changgen looked impatient as all get-out.

Wang Dashan said:

"He's drinking milk with Xiao Juan right now!"

Wang Erhai swept a glance over the postpartum center's room — the environment was beyond reproach, and the space was plenty large besides.

One bedroom, one living room — the living room alone had fifty or sixty square meters.

The living room not only had a sofa, coffee table, TV, and whatnot — it had everything.

And in the corner of the living room sat a folding bed — that was where the confinement nanny slept.

Beside the folding bed there was also a pretty baby stroller; usually after drinking milk, Du Xiaojuan would have the infant lie in the stroller — this was to try to reduce nursing-to-sleep, a habit already formed, and Du Xiaojuan felt she had to start weaning it now.

As for Wang Dashan, he slept in the inner room together with Du Xiaojuan.

Right now the confinement nanny was inside the room, assisting Du Xiaojuan with feeding the infant.

Before long, the confinement nanny came out.

Wang Dashan hurriedly made introductions:

"Dad, this is the confinement nanny, Aunt Kang! Aunt Kang, this is my dad, this is my second brother!"

Aunt Kang beamed:

"Good evening, good evening. How come you're only coming over this late? The new mother will be going to sleep once she's done feeding."

Wang Erhai could only answer with a bitter smile:

"Long drive, traffic jam, no choice. We'll just take a look at the baby and leave."

Aunt Kang said:

"In a bit — he's drinking milk right now!"

Then she busily greeted them:

"You two sit! I'll go pour you a cup of water!"

Aunt Kang hurried off and poured two cups of water, giving them to Wang Erhai and Wang Changgen.

Wang Changgen asked:

"How's the child doing?"

Aunt Kang said with a smile:

"Doing great! No need to worry — here at the postpartum center, there's 24-hour monitoring; the slightest little issue and a professional doctor comes over for a consult! Guaranteed to grow up healthy and strong!"

Wang Changgen lowered his head and took a sip of water:

"This place... costs a pretty penny, doesn't it..."

Aunt Kang said with a smile:

"Expensive, sure it's expensive. In this district there are nearly ten postpartum centers, and ours is the most expensive — of course, the service is also the best!"

Wang Changgen's face fell.

It was obvious he felt this money was spent unnecessarily.

Seeing Wang Changgen's expression turn sour, Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"Right, Big Brother, I brought some clothes for the child, and some things to wipe the body with!"

Then he handed the things over.

"Second Brother, you're too kind!"

Wang Dashan thanked him with a smile.

Wang Erhai then said:

"How about we take Dad out to eat first? The old man hasn't eaten anything all day!"

Wang Dashan nodded hurriedly:

"Okay, okay! I'll go in the room and tell Xiao Juan, then we'll go!"

Wang Zhanggen, however, said:

"Let me see the child first. After seeing the child, then we'll go eat or not eat!"

Wang Dashan had no choice but to compromise.

Fortunately, at this time the child had finished drinking milk.

Du Xiaojuan's voice came from inside:

"Kang Yi, the child has finished drinking milk!"

Kang Yi hurriedly stood up and went in.

Before long she came out holding the child.

Wang Zhanggen finally saw the grandson he had been longing for.

His old face, which had been sour the whole time, finally revealed a long-lost smile.

"Let me hold him, let me hold him!"

Wang Zhanggen said excitedly with a smile.

Kang Yi carefully handed the child to Wang Zhanggen and said to him:

"Hold him like this, don't lay him too flat. He just finished drinking milk; if he's laid too flat he might spit up."

Wang Zhanggen held him, looking at his grandson, beaming with joy.

His grandson had just finished drinking milk, neither crying nor fussing, nor shy of strangers, just staring blankly at Wang Zhanggen, this unfamiliar face, with both eyes.

"This child, not only looks like his dad, but also looks like his grandpa!"

Kang Yi spoke flattering words.

The child is still this small, how can you tell who he looks like.

But these words, once spoken, indeed made Wang Zhanggen very pleased.

He smiled even more radiantly.

"Exactly when was the child born? Tell me. When I go back I'll find Wu Banxian to calculate a Bazi for him!"

Wang Dashan said: "I'll send it to your mobile phone in a bit, just afraid you'll forget again once you go back!"

Wang Zhanggen beamed: "Okay!"

Wang Erhai then said:

"How about we go eat now?"

Wang Zhanggen was still beaming:

"Hold him a bit longer, hold him a bit longer, my precious grandson!"

Wang Erhai and Wang Dashan could only watch from the side with smiles.

Seeing the old man this happy, and not saying anything excessive, Wang Erhai's suspended heart finally settled down.

Wang Zhanggen held the child for a good while.

The child became unhappy and started crying.

Kang Yi said to let her coax him; only then did Wang Zhanggen reluctantly hand the child to Kang Yi.

Then together with Wang Erhai and Wang Dashan, they went outside to eat.

Originally the postpartum center provided family meals, but now it was late at night, the kitchen staff had long since gone off duty, so they could only take Wang Zhanggen outside to eat.

Fortunately Guangzhou's nightlife is rich enough; although it was already past ten in the deep night, approaching eleven, the restaurants outside were still brightly lit.

Wang Dashan took Wang Zhanggen and Wang Erhai to a Da Paidang, ordered a few dishes, then sat down to wait.

Wang Zhanggen only now started chattering away:

"Dashan, how much money did Xiao Juan spend on this confinement?"

Wang Dashan replied with a beaming smile:

"Not much, just twenty or thirty thousand yuan."

Actually this postpartum center costs 120,000 yuan for 28 days!

Wang Dashan was afraid Wang Zhanggen couldn't accept this price, so he said only twenty or thirty thousand.

Result: even having lowered it, Wang Zhanggen still had a huge reaction:

"Twenty or thirty thousand is still not much! Your wife really doesn't know how to save money at all! Is she that delicate!"

Wang Dashan smiled stiffly and stopped speaking.

It was Wang Erhai who hurriedly said:

"Eldest Sister-in-law can earn money, what's wrong with spending some on confinement? It's not your money being spent!"

Wang Zhanggen righteously declared:

"The money she earns, isn't it also Big Brother's money! A woman should be thrifty and good at managing the household! Her spending like this, this family will sooner or later be ruined by her!"

Wang Zhanggen also said to Wang Dashan:

"Later when we get back to the postpartum center, you let me talk to your wife, tell her to move back home tomorrow! A natural birth with no major injury, why stay in a postpartum center!"
