Chapter 569: You Can Live a Very Long Time
These past two days have been so restless!
On the morning of the 18th, Qi Zhengwei watched the news on TV and sighed.
In Han Guo, a big shot's suicide came to light, dragging many bigwigs into it.
And over in Little Japan, some badass blew up a building everyone hated.
No idea who did it!
The current investigation shows the attacker used a weapon like a rocket-propelled grenade.
Shu Xiaohui walked over, picked up the remote and turned off the TV: "It's almost 8:30—is the news more important than our grandchild?"
Oh oh!
Qi Zhengwei quickly stood up.
The couple quickly got ready and left, carrying a big bag of stuff they'd bought yesterday; after ten-odd minutes they arrived at Qi Yao's large villa.
Aunt Wang had just finished breakfast and was strolling in the courtyard.
Sis, is she still not up?
Shu Xiaohui entered, glanced around, then stepped forward and asked.
Aunt Wang laughed: "No! Xiao Feng came last night and the kid fussed all night."
Qi Zhengwei chuckled, picked up the things and went into the kitchen.
Shu Xiaohui pulled Aunt Wang aside and asked again: "Why would the child cry and fuss? Normally he's well-behaved at night and sleeps till morning."
Aunt Wang said: "Maybe the kid is shy of strangers! Xiao Feng held and rocked the child all night last night, only falling asleep after six."
Aunt Wang obviously didn't want to tell Shu Xiaohui the truth.
If the child is hungry, not crying would be strange; the little one is naturally unwilling to drink formula.
When Lin Feng arrived, Shu Xiaohui felt awkward going straight upstairs to see her own grandchild, Lin Eleven.
The couple and Aunt Wang entered the kitchen and started helping with cooking.
Various supplements were taken out of the bag…… These things aren't just good; they also need to taste good.
Recently Qi Yao has been a bit picky about food.
Of course, it's because she's eaten too much—eating mountain delicacies every day will get boring!
The little one has a big appetite.
To make sure the grandchild eats his fill, Qi Zhengwei and Shu Xiaohui have put in a lot of thought.
After returning home, the TV program they watch most is cooking shows.
So today we're stewing pig's trotters and wild crucian carp soup…… Guarantee that two bowls will take effect immediately.
In Qi Yao's bedroom upstairs.
Yao Yao...
Lin Feng embraced Qi Yao and softly called.
Hmm?
Qi Yao stared at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng glanced at their son lying in the cradle and asked: "Are you having another episode?"
A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Qi Yao's face.
The day before yesterday afternoon she held their son while they were active in the courtyard; after going back inside, just as she was about to feed the child, she discovered the little one clutching a rather large cockroach in his hand.
A cockroach showing up in winter…… also blame Lin Eleven's bad luck.
Who told him to curiously grab a 'bug' resting on a tree?
As a result, Mom got scared.
That night Qi Yao took a scalpel and shaved Lin Eleven's head and eyebrows completely……
The knife work looks really impressive—not a bit of skin was nicked.
Although he'd only slept two hours, Lin Feng's spirits were high.
Yao Yao...
Hmm?
Your confinement period is up, right?
Qi Yao immediately knew what Lin Feng wanted upon hearing that.
She hurriedly sat up: "Let's get up and have breakfast!"
I'm not hungry anymore.
Lin Feng sighed.
Sure enough, after a woman has a child, her husband falls to second place.
Seeing Lin Feng's miserable look, Qi Yao couldn't bear it: "Just like before."
Lin Feng gave a hehe laugh: "Got it!"
It was almost ten when Lin Feng and Qi Yao finally carried the child downstairs.
Lin Feng came back this time to make up the baby's full-month celebration.
No guests were invited; just the family gathering together for a lively meal would do.
For the previous children, Lin Feng often missed not just the full-month but even the first‑birthday celebrations.
At lunchtime, Qi Yao's younger brother Qi Lei and Wang Si also came with their child.
Lin Feng phoned in a table of dishes from a hotel to be delivered, and the family enjoyed a hearty lunch at home.
After lunch, Qi Yao brought up work matters.
She wasn't that delicate; after leaving the hospital and returning home, she started exercising.
In a month, she shed the weight she gained during pregnancy.
When Qi Yao brought up the matter, her mother Shu Xiaohui frowned and said, "The child is still small; what class could they attend? Wait until the child is past one year old."
Opposition is, of course, ineffective.
Things Qi Yao decides are rarely altered by anyone.
The workplace is nearby; she teaches forensic medicine at a medical institute in Hangzhou.
The base salary each month is 8,000 yuan, with bonuses, and the year‑end bonus equals about three months' wages.
She can also be allocated an apartment of over one hundred square meters.
Qi Yao's parents, plus a nanny, are more than enough for the household.
"This job isn't as hectic as before; I'll have more time to rest and look after the child…"
Qi Yao gave an explanation.
Shu Xiaohui frowned and said, "Forensic medicine means handling corpses every day, then coming home to handle the child. No, I absolutely won't agree!"
Shu Xiaohui isn't foolish either.
She knows which medical institute it is.
All the teachers there are big shots in forensic medicine.
Besides teaching, they sometimes go on business trips.
The trips are, of course, to assist investigations across the country.
The child is still small, so it probably won't run around too much, but after the child grows older and weans off milk, things will be different.
Seeing her mother's strong objection, Qi Yao turned her head toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng thought, "Don't make me take the blame!"
But the whole family's gaze shifted onto him.
Lin Feng said helplessly, "Whatever Yao Yao wants to do, I'll fully support."
"Just indulge her!"
Shu Xiaohui furrowed her brows.
Qi Yao's job was happily decided like that.
In the afternoon, Lin Feng and Qi Yao left the child at home and went out shopping.
Although it was winter, Hangzhou's weather was not cold.
The two walked and talked.
Qi Yao talked about her theory of raising the child modestly.
She isn't as strict as Lin Feng's parents, Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shishao.
The family situation lets the child know from a young age that they are not poor, but not exactly ultra‑rich either.
From childhood, they must hold Lin Shiyi to strict standards, striving to become a scholar with progressive thinking.
"Then who will inherit my trillions of assets?"
Lin Feng widened his eyes.
Qi Yao said lightly, "You have so many daughters; just use them as dowry!"
Lin Feng: "Uh~"
Qi Yao was, of course, joking.
It was a rare joke.
Seeing Lin Feng depressed, Qi Yao said, "One Lin Feng is enough in this world. You may live a long life, but the children are different."
When the words finished, Lin Feng was stunned.
He had never considered that question before.
Qi Yao said, "I've analyzed your genes; you could live for several hundred years, maybe even longer. So there's no need to worry about heirs at all."
In these hundred years, you may watch your children and us grow old and die.
But don't be sad; for us, the few decades we have together are already enough…
After Qi Yao finished, Lin Feng took a long while to recover his composure.
He frowned and said, "Could we use the blood of a younger witch to alter your cells, so you could also live longer?"
Lin Feng recalled Shan Tian Guangzheng.
That guy, after drinking Witch Tribe blood, is over a hundred years old yet still retains a youthful appearance.
Qi Yao hummed, "I'll give it a try!"
Lin Feng suddenly laughed, kissed Qi Yao's forehead and said, "Today's topic is too heavy; let's not think about it now and just enjoy each day happily."
"Hmm!"
Qi Yao nodded.
Lin Feng chuckled, "How about having another?"
"No!"
Qi Yao quickly shook her head.
Actually, Lin Feng didn't want any more children either.
If, in these few decades, the longevity elixir isn't developed, watching your children and the women beside you age and die.
That would be a very painful thing.
Just thinking about it feels distressing, let alone facing it directly.
