Chapter 449 Guo Guo
On the third day of her baby's bath, Xia Miao was discharged from the hospital. She was able to walk and move on her own and had recovered very well.
However, she had to take good care of herself during the confinement period. When she returned home, her mother-in-law and aunt asked her to lie down and rest, and would not let her get out of bed easily .
There is a nanny, mother-in-law and aunt at home, so she doesn't have to worry about the child at all, as someone is taking care of the child day and night.
In order to increase her milk supply, Xia Miao added tongcao to various soups. Even if the taste was strange, she would drink it in big gulps.
I ate several meals a day during the confinement period, and I didn’t care whether my figure would be out of shape in the future. I ate every meal very seriously.
Later on, the child was unable to finish the milk, and his clothes would often be soaked by the overflowing milk while he was sleeping at night.
My breasts are also swollen and uncomfortable, and I have to squeeze it out to feel comfortable.
It turns out that giving birth is not the hardest part, raising a child is.
This is because the young couple has relatives to take care of them and a nanny to serve them.
At night, when the child wanted to feed, someone would bring him over to feed him, and then take him away after feeding, so it didn't affect Xia Miao's rest too much.
If it were an ordinary family with no one to help, how hard would it be for a new mother?
Xia Miao is really a very strong person. She transitioned from the role of girl to mother very naturally without ever complaining.
Even though there were stretch marks on her belly, she just smiled and asked He Shu if he would dislike her?
He Shu shook his head and didn't say anything nice to comfort her. He just touched Xia Miao's still soft and fluffy belly every night before going to bed.
He was also learning how to be a good father. After a few days, he felt more natural when holding Guoguo.
Guoguo is very easy to worry about. He doesn't cry very often. In the first few days, he would only cry when he wanted milk, or when he had a bowel movement or urinated.
After feeding him and cleaning him up, I slept soundly.
When I open my eyes, I like to look towards the light and always turn my head towards the window.
Babies in confinement cannot see bright light, and the windows are covered with gauze curtains, but they still like to twist their necks.
Children change so quickly. In just one month, Guoguo has grown a lot bigger, and is now fair, tender, chubby and more and more lovable.
Xia Miao loves Guoguo very much. She always holds Guoguo and says that he looks more and more like He Shu and will definitely be a handsome boy when he grows up.
He Shu couldn't tell how they were similar. Instead, he thought Guoguo looked like Xia Miao.
My godfather now spends half a month in Dadu as he really can't bear to leave his grandson.
He even quit smoking because people wouldn't let him hold his baby because he smelled of cigarettes. This is a good thing.
The old man and uncle would come to see Guoguo from time to time . The uncle, who was always serious, looked like a different person when he looked at the child.
When Guoguo was not a month old, his uncle bought him many toys.
Pistols, cars, some are bigger than fruits, and I don’t know how many years I will have to wait before I can play with them.
After the confinement period, He Shu should take care of his own affairs.
The research institute did not retain him, but He Shu did not care. He continued to study at school, write papers, and participate in scientific research experiments on campus.
I go home in the evening to be with my wife and children, and watch Guoguo growing stronger day by day. My life feels fulfilling and energetic.
After Xia Miao finished her maternity leave and returned to work, He Shu's previously published papers won several awards again, followed by another invitation from the research institute.
This time, He Shu will face a choice again.
At night, Xia Miao held Guoguo, who was just over three months old, and fed him. After feeding, He Shu skillfully placed his son on one of his shoulders and gently patted him to burp.
"Go if you want to. The child has his aunt and godfather. My parents will come over every few days. There is also an aunt to help at home. What are you worried about?"
Xia Miao looked at He Shu gently holding his son and knew what he was struggling with.
But life is like this, how can it always be perfect?
Especially He Shu, his ideals are different from those of ordinary people, he has higher pursuits.
“Home should be the warmest harbor. It is not a place of restraint, but a place where you can come back to rest when you are tired.”
"Hubby, love doesn't necessarily mean you have to be together every day. Just do what you want to do, and I will try my best to adapt to you."
He Shu gently put down the sleeping Guoguo and looked at Xia Miao, feeling so moved that he couldn't express it in words.
He looked down at his son again and whispered, "How lucky..."
Sure enough, their son’s name is the best interpretation of their love.
…
Time flies and never comes back.
Fortunately, I grew up day by day under the care of my elders, from a little baby who could only scream, to someone who could sit, walk and run.
He grew up to be an extremely lucky, super spoiled, but very mischievous kid.
He liked to go to his great-grandfather's house in the compound to play the most because his mother was too strict, and at his great-grandfather's house he could be naughty and lawless.
He used my great-grandfather's walking stick as if it were a horse and broke several of them.
The flowers and fish that my great uncle planted and raised were destroyed by him many times.
Sometimes Qi Zhijun would get so angry that he pretended to hit someone. He would raise his hand, but before the strike came, he would open his mouth and howl, and the sound was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire compound.
Once he had cried out his great aunt, he would be safe, hiding behind her and grinning with his little teeth bared.
A little boy who just turned three years old and still has the scent of milk, has a hundred ideas and a pouting mouth. Qi Zhijun often says that He Shuque's ideas are all in his son's body.
But there is no way, she is spoiled. Xia Miao has to go to work, and even if I am strict, I don’t have enough time to care about her.
And there are too many elders, the whole family is surrounding this one, as long as Guoguo purses his lips, they will really coax him like a darling.
Xia Miao also knew that this was not going to work, as the child would be spoiled. However, ever since Guoguo was born, her aunt, who had once stood on the same side with her, had turned against her.
My own parents are even more outrageous. Every time they come from Danhe to see their grandson, they wish they could move their home here.
When he left, he cried and was reluctant to let go. Zhao Qishui, who had become a grandfather, treated his grandson like a horse and didn't know how to spoil him anymore.
While working, Xia Miao was still sighing, thinking that it would be great if He Shu was at home, he would definitely be able to educate the child well .
Just as Xia Miao was thinking this, a thin figure walked in from outside the courtyard.
He Shu, who had been away from home for more than two years, suddenly felt a little homesick. He first went back to his own home to give his family a surprise, but the nanny said that Xia Miao had gone to work and Guo Guo was in the compound.
He came straight over again, without even changing his clothes or shaving, looking very sloppy.
In the past two years, He Shu has been immersed in the innovative research of intelligent weapons, cutting off all social interactions, including reuniting with his family, and finally achieved results two months ago.
After a series of anxious tests and waiting, he can now finally put down his burden and go home.
Walking up to the familiar small building, He Shu felt that there seemed to be no major changes in his grandfather's house.
Just as he was about to enter the house, he heard a "bang" and was hit on the back of his head. The pain made He Shu drop the bag in his hand and cover his head.
He looked back and saw a round little head leaning out from the side of the courtyard wall, and a little boy was staring at him with round eyes.
He Shu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help feeling excited. He recognized her. This was Guo Guo!
