Chapter 360 - 359: Sending Word of Safety

"By the way, have we reconnected with the outside world on Huan Sha Island?"

On the way back, Gu Jia Ning suddenly remembered this and asked Sheng Zexi, who was driving.

"Yes, it’s been restored. It was just fixed this morning."

"Then when we get back, please help me call my parents. I don’t know if they’ve tried calling these past few days. If they have, and couldn’t get through, they must be very worried." Knowing how her parents are, Gu Jia Ning thought.

She felt sure that her parents must have called these days.

After all, her parents knew her due date was around this time.

They would definitely call to ask.

"Okay, I remember." Sheng Zexi agreed.

Soon, the car returned to the military district and stopped in front of their home in the family quarters.

"The car’s here. Is it Mom and Dad and Tuantuan coming back?"

Waiting at their doorstep were Xingxing and Yueyue with Amber.

Knowing that Dad would bring Mom home from the hospital today, they waited there early.

Actually, they were doing quite well at the Zhao Family’s place.

Sister-in-law Zhao and Gou Dan were very good to Xingxing and Yueyue.

However, no matter how good someone else’s home is, it’s never as good as your own.

Your own home, with Mom and Dad there, is the best.

Soon, they saw Sheng Zexi driving the car.

"Xingxing, Yueyue, be careful, watch out for the car." Sheng Zexi reminded the little ones from inside the car.

Then he slowly parked the car.

The car door opened.

Xingxing and Yueyue saw Gu Jia Ning inside the car.

"Mom~"

Gu Jia Ning responded and was then carried horizontally into the house by Sheng Zexi again.

Sister-in-law Zhao carried Tuantuan, and with Xingxing, Yueyue, and Amber, they all went in together.

Once Gu Jia Ning was inside, Xingxing and Yueyue snuggled up to her, full of reliance.

Gu Jia Ning asked them one by one how they had been.

Upon learning they had a good time at the Zhao Family’s, she was very grateful to Sister-in-law Zhao.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for helping me take care of Xingxing and Yueyue, and today for taking care of Tuantuan too, really, thank you."

Hui Juan waved her hands, "Doctor Gu, it’s nothing. Between neighbors, it’s natural to help each other out."

"Besides, you didn’t blame me for being deceived back then, causing Xingxing and Yueyue to almost... I’m already very content."

Recalling this incident still made Hui Juan shudder.

Her husband, Zhao Jianguo, also scolded her severely after finding out.

Which taught Hui Juan to never easily trust others again.

-

After Hui Juan left, Sheng Zexi went to the communication office and made a call to Huaihua Village.

In Huaihua Village, Yao Chunhua and Old Gu, along with the rest of the Gu Family, who had made several unsuccessful call attempts these past few days, were very anxious and worried.

Though they knew it was due to the typhoon causing the communication breakdown.

They still feared their daughter’s family might have been affected by the strong typhoon.

"I wonder how Ningning and the others are doing?" muttered Yao Chunhua as she sewed.

"Yes." Old Gu puffed on his cigarette, his brow furrowed without relaxation.

Because of this matter, they hadn’t eaten or slept well these days.

Yao Chunhua even had nightmares, dreaming of her daughter being swept into the sea by the gale.

No one knew that when she woke up, cold sweat had soaked Yao Chunhua’s back.

As the couple fretted, suddenly a broadcast echoed.

"Yao Chunhua, Gu Changchun... your son-in-law has called, hurry to the village committee to take the call."

Yao Chunhua and Old Gu stood up at once.

"Son-in-law? Is it Xixi?" Old Gu said.

Yao Chunhua shot him a look and rushed outside, "We only have one daughter, if not Xixi, who else would it be?"

"The communication must be restored."

They originally planned to call later, but unexpectedly the son-in-law called first.

The couple trotted to the village committee and picked up the phone.

"Dad, Mom..."

Upon hearing the familiar voice of their son-in-law, Yao Chunhua’s eyes instantly turned moist.

"Xixi, I heard there was a strong typhoon on your side? Is it true."

"Why did the communication break? We couldn’t reach you these days."

"..."

Once on the phone, Yao Chunhua couldn’t stop talking.

While Old Gu was the first to react, "Ah, you keep talking, how is the son-in-law supposed to respond?"

Only then did Yao Chunhua realize.

She hurriedly stopped but still asked one last question.

"Son-in-law, how are Ningning and the kids?"

On this end, Sheng Zexi didn’t mind the mother-in-law’s endless chatter.

On the contrary, he knew it was a mother’s concern.

This made Sheng Zexi, who had lost his mother early, very envious.

"Mother-in-law, Father-in-law, you don’t have to worry, Ningning and the kids are fine."

"Yes, there was a strong typhoon and the communication was out, but it was fixed this morning."

"Ningning was worried about you both, and once the communication was restored, she asked me to call you to assure you everything is okay."

"Oh, that’s good; it’s important to let us know.’

"By the way, why didn’t Ningning call herself? She wouldn’t, wouldn’t..." Yao Chunhua suddenly sensed something amiss.

If her daughter missed them and was worried about them, she should’ve called personally to assure them.

Why then did the son-in-law call instead?

Suddenly, Yao Chunhua had a bad feeling.

"Mother-in-law, don’t worry, Ningning gave birth, and she’s recuperating at home now."

"Ningning gave birth? Yes, she was due these days. Look at me, worrying so much I forgot."

"How’s Ningning? Was the delivery smooth? Is she okay now?"

If it were anyone else, they would first ask about the child, whether it was a boy or a girl.

But for Yao Chunhua, her daughter was most important.

Her daughter’s safety and health mattered more than the child.

Old Gu nodded along as he listened to his wife’s questions.

Indeed, he also wanted to know how his daughter was doing.

"Ningning gave birth smoothly; it’s a boy, weighing six pounds..."

Sheng Zexi explained to them.

Then he mentioned Grandma Sang’s leg injury, making it impossible for her to help with Gu Jia Ning’s postpartum care.

"What, the old lady’s leg is injured, oh, why are we only being told now? We had no idea."

"How is the old lady doing now?"

"Yes, and if the old lady’s hurt, what about Ningning’s postpartum care?"

"Oh, I should be there, I should be there."

"Mom, don’t worry. I took leave; I’ll take care of Ningning during her postpartum. Rest assured, I can take good care of her."
