Chapter 556

The arrival of Teacher Ke was still somewhat of a surprise to Wu Juying.

She figured that even if Teacher Ke wanted to come, it should have been in the evening when it was quiet and there were fewer people; she never expected the mother and daughter to rush over first thing in the morning.

After everyone else in the ward had left, Teacher Ke opened her lunch box.

"I only heard from Xiaoyu this morning that Sister Xiao Yue had given birth. There were no fresh crucian carp at home, so I only had time to stew a bowl of pig's trotter soup. I'll stew some fish soup tonight and have Xiaoyu bring it over."

Wu Juying hurriedly said: "You can't go to such trouble. You're so busy, don't let it delay your work..."

"Auntie, don't be so formal with me," Teacher Ke shook her head and smiled, pointing at Watching Wen Leyu: "Three years ago, my daughter looked like a bean sprout,

later she followed Sister Xiao Yue and Li Ye and ate home-cooked meals for three years. Look, our family owes Sister Xiao Yue three years of meals now!"

For these three years, Watching Wen Leyu had indeed been "fed" by Li Ye, and the effect was excellent. Her small frame had completely moved out of the "skinny" category,

especially her two long legs, which had already taken on the slender, rounded characteristics that Li Ye liked best, and her small chest had also developed quite a bit.

Decades later, when a certain fairy had a pair of thick legs, it wasn't without reason that there was a trend to reverse aesthetic standards.

Being slender with a bit of meat is still much better than being a skeleton.

"You can't say that," Wu Juying shook her head repeatedly: "It's no trouble for the children to cook a meal. Your time is so precious. Besides, how come I heard that it was Xiaoyu cooking for Li Ye?"

"Hahahahaha"

Teacher Ke laughed heartily: "Indeed, Xiaoyu has learned to cook now, but the food she made at the beginning! Only Li Ye could eat it..."

"You can't say that, you can't say that. Xiaoyu is a very smart child..."

Wu Juying was also full of smiles, feeling very comfortable inside. Teacher Ke's current demeanor showed she truly treated the Li family as relatives.

Only Watching Wen Leyu, who was to the side, pouted, looking very unhappy.

Her cooking skills were already top-notch now, okay? Otherwise, why would Li Ye praise her in all sorts of ways all day long, saying "Xiaoyu, you're amazing" and "Xiaoyu, make another plate! I'm not full"?

You are all old-fashioned; all you know about cooking is adding more oil, hmph.

Seeing that his little wife was unhappy, Li Ye led her to his big nephew's side.

Watching Wen Leyu was indeed delighted to tease the baby, poking the infant's arms, poking the infant's little face, feeding milk powder, changing diapers—for a while, she was having a great time playing.

Later, even Teacher Ke couldn't watch anymore and said with a straight face: "You two have had enough, right? Are you treating a child like a toy? His skin is so delicate! Can he handle you two messing around like this?"

But Wu Juying looked at Teacher Ke and said: "Hey, let them learn to handle it! Otherwise, they'll be in a panic themselves later on..."

Teacher Ke looked at Wu Juying and said with a smile: "Big Auntie, Xiaoyu's older brother is getting married in a few days. After I finish dealing with this big one, how about we discuss the marriage of the two little ones?"

"What else could we do? We're old now; isn't it just hoping that our children and grandchildren can have good fortune? Li Ye is a lucky one..."

Wu Juying's face was wrinkled with smiles. How did a marriage that others saw as unattainable become so natural when it came to her own family?

It's just that she didn't notice the concerned look Teacher Ke gave her own daughter.

Only Teacher Ke knew that if she hindered the marriage between Watching Wen Leyu and Li Ye, she couldn't say for sure what would happen to Li Ye, but her own daughter would lose at least half her life.

By the afternoon, Grandma, who had been tired for a whole day and night, couldn't hold on anymore and was dozing off while sitting on the bed.

"Grandma, I'll send you back to sleep for the night, and you can come back tomorrow to keep my sister company, okay?"

"Tomorrow? Isn't your father coming tomorrow? Do you still need me?"

Wu Juying said with a smile, but she still followed the advice of Li Ye and Yang Yumin and returned to Zaojunmiao.

By eight o'clock in the evening, Yang Yumin had also sent Yang Huaihua back. Yang Huaihua hadn't rested well these past few days either, and now that the heavy stone in her heart had fallen, she was also extremely exhausted after relaxing.

Li Juan and Zhao Meiwen were freshmen now, and Li Ye didn't allow them to stay out overnight, so after eight o'clock, only Li Ye, Watching Wen Leyu, and Fu Yiruo were left in the room.

Fu Yiruo gave Li Ye a wink and gestured toward the outside.

Li Ye nodded and pulled Watching Wen Leyu out with him.

A moment later, Hearing Fu Guiru walked into the ward from outside and sat at the head of Li Yue's bed.

"Mom, why are you here..."

"Shh, I came to see you and the baby. Don't make a sound."

Li Yue pursed her lips, wanting to smile, but in the end, she didn't, and instead shed tears.

She had dreamed of Hearing Fu Guiru just when she was sleeping earlier! As soon as she opened her eyes, the dream came true.

Hearing Fu Guiru wiped Li Yue's tears and asked with a smile: "Stop crying. It's not the time to cry now. Have you named the child yet?"

"My grandma gave him a nickname, called Xiaodun'er. Everyone says it's good, so I didn't dare to object..."

"Your grandma is just a country bumpkin."

Hearing Fu Guiru said dismissively, picked up her little grandson, looked at him carefully for a long time, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, he looks like you."

"Right! Brother Xiao Ye also said he looks like me, but I think his eyes look more like yours, Mom!"

Li Yue was quite proud, completely missing Hearing Fu Guiru's subtext—thank goodness he doesn't look like Yang Yumin.

Hearing Fu Guiru affectionately rubbed her face against the child's and asked Li Yue with a smile: "After you finish your confinement, why don't you come stay at my place for a few days?"

Li Yue was stunned and pouted, saying: "What do you mean after I finish my confinement? I'm going to your place for my confinement. You promised me that, Mom."

Hearing Fu Guiru glanced at Li Yue and said: "Don't say such angry things. If you go to my place for your confinement, how will your father arrange things? If you don't let your stepmother take care of your confinement, your father won't be happy, right? Since things are like this now, some things can only be mutually tolerated."

"I'm a mother myself, why do I still have to worry about my father? Besides, I have a biological mother, why..."

Li Yue stiffened her neck, indicating that she was an adult who had already overturned the mountain on her head,

but before she could finish speaking, she heard Li Ye's voice in the hallway: "Dad, why did you arrive early? Wasn't the train tomorrow?"

"I rode my motorcycle here. I had a flat tire on the way which delayed me, otherwise I would have arrived during the day."

"My sister is asleep. You come back to Zaojunmiao with me first! Grandma has some things to tell you!"

"Oh, oh, I'll put the things down and go. It's the diapers Xiaojuan's mother cut..."

Hearing Fu Guiru looked at Li Yue in surprise and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Did you two arrange this?"

Li Yue shook her head repeatedly; the shock in her eyes couldn't be faked.

Hearing Fu Guiru didn't dare to delay, stood up, walked to the window, opened it, and climbed out, her movements as agile as a woman in her forties or fifties.

"Mom, you..."

Li Yue couldn't help but exclaim. The ward she was in was on the second floor; one careless move could lead to an injury.

Just at this moment, her father, Li Kaijian, entered the room and happened to hear Li Yue's exclamation.

"What were you shouting about just now?"

"No, I wasn't shouting anything?"

Li Yue hurriedly denied it, but unfortunately, her evasive eyes couldn't escape the eyes of a scout.

Li Kaijian looked at his panicked and flustered daughter, feeling somewhat confused and surprised.

But suddenly, he saw the open window, and a flash of light crossed his mind, making him think of something.

Li Kaijian rushed to the window and happened to see the figure downstairs moving away quickly.

In an instant, the shrewd and alert scout company commander was stunned.

"You two siblings are really something..."

A moment later, Li Kaijian scolded angrily. He didn't even care about the things he was carrying, placed both hands on the windowsill, and flipped out of the window.
