Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1016: Returning Home

New book "Reborn: Not Your Perfect Wife" seeking collection!The next day, Zhao Xiaoli hurried Old Yang to ask the doctor; ever since mentioning the cold bed yesterday, she felt even more uncomfortable at night. She didn’t want to stay in the hospital a minute longer.

The baby was eating and drinking well, urinating frequently, feeding energetically, and nothing seemed wrong.

So it’s still more comfortable at home. Who wants to stay here when eating and living are inconvenient?

Old Yang had no choice but to find the doctor after breakfast.

"My wife wants to be discharged. Doctor, is it possible?"

"Yes, your wife gave birth quickly and didn’t suffer much, plus the baby’s healthy, so discharge is fine."

Only then did Old Yang breathe a sigh of relief, afraid the doctor would say no and his wife would insist on going home, which would be troublesome.

Since discharge was possible, going home was good.

He went back to tell Zhang Qiu’e to pack up, while he handled the discharge procedures.

Zhao Xiaoli, hearing she could be discharged, was suddenly energized, fed the baby till full, and sat on the hospital bed waiting.

Finally going home, she’s had enough of being here.

Old Yang was very quick; after handling the discharge, he filled six glass bottles with hot water, as the car wouldn’t be warm.

Then he neatly folded his quilt on the backseat, placing the hot water bottles on top, making it comfortable for his wife to sit.

He brought all the items to the car trip by trip, helping his dressed wife out.

Zhang Qiu’e followed holding the baby. After getting in the car, they didn’t let his wife take off the coat, as it wasn’t warmer inside.

"Finally going home."

"Sit tight, we’re off."

Wei Kaiyun started a fire in Old Yang’s room in the morning. Though he didn’t know if they’d be back today, he prepared as if they would.

Steamed sweet potatoes and squash directly at the big stove, and lit the stove as well.

Being a room for permanent residency, the temperature rose quickly.

"Dad, why steam sweet potatoes now?"

"Uncle Yang might return with Aunt Yang and little brother today, the room’s temp isn’t high; need to start a fire more."

"Coming back today?" Shi Jing asked.

"Uh-huh, I’m unsure, but should be within these days; Aunt Yang doesn’t want to stay in the hospital, prefers home."

"Dad, a pity Aunt Yang didn’t have a sister."

"No one can decide that; a brother’s good too; as he grows, you can play with him.

If it were a sister, she might disdain your messy running, not wanting to play with you."

"Is that right?"

Wei Kaiyun nodded but couldn’t let the kids think that way.

With the room’s temperature rising, Du Fengying came over, feeling uncomfortable in the morning. Even though Lu Tiezhu refused to let her move, treating her like an egg, afraid she’d get bumped.

"Xiao Wei, are Old Yang and Xiao Li coming back?"

Already aware that Zhao Xiaoli had a son, but didn’t expect them back so soon.

"Not confirmed yet, but likely soon, hospital’s too cold."

"True, hospital’s rough; Xiao Li’s childbirth wasn’t ideal timing.

Steamed sweet potatoes, let’s have sticky bean buns for lunch."

Wei Kaiyun had no objections. With Du Fengying accompanying the wife these years, she’s learned her tastes. Whatever she does is fine.

Old Yang got home almost at 11. Travel was tough; feared his wife and child weren’t comfortable.

Wei Kaiyun heard the car’s sound, knowing it was Old Yang back, quickly went to open the gate for direct car entry.

Zhao Xiaoli saw the familiar courtyard, realizing her deep attachment to this home.

Old Yang helped her off the car, directly carried her inside. Du Fengying had laid out a mattress, made of wolf skin, warm even on a cool kang bed.

"Xiao Li, did you suffer?"

"Hmm, Sister Du, I’m fine. Didn’t suffer in childbirth, just the hospital was too cold."

"Home’s comfy; take off your coat; lie directly in bed later. By the way, what for lunch?"

"Sister Du, craving wontons, stuffed with meat and shrimp."

"No problem, will prep that. Half an hour and you’ll have it, starting with a steamed egg custard."

Zhao Xiaoli nodded with a smile, home’s best, get what you want.

The baby in a warm setting, lying on the heated kang, also relaxed greatly.

Zhang Qiu’e changed the baby’s diaper, daring not to wash, waiting next time, letting the baby adapt to the temp.

"Sister Zhang, it’s fine here. Go help Sister Du cook."

"Okay, call me if needed."

Three children, after class, hurriedly ran inside, seeing the baby on the kang, Shi Jing felt very disappointed. Despite his young age, Shang Zhenkun taught them life skills early, so he didn’t express his disappointment bluntly.

Zhao Xiaoli, being an adult, though a bit naive, still saw more than a child. "Shi Jing, what’s wrong? Don’t like your brother?"

"Aunt Yang, I initially wanted you to have a sister, gentle and cute, better behaved than Shi Xian.

But dad said sisters may not want to play with us later; so I think a brother’s fine too."

"Why you looking so disappointed?" Old Yang laughed asking.

Shi Jing glanced at the brother on the kang, feeling conflicted.

"Shi Jing, what’s wrong?" Zhao Xiaoli asked with a grin.

"Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang, I feel the little brother is too ugly. I remember the looks of Shi Xian and Tingting when carried home; better-looking than the brother."

Old Yang chuckled beside. Zhao Xiaoli also laughed.

"Shi Jing, the brother will look better in days. Our lovely Shi Jing should often be with him, let him see you a lot; maybe he’ll grow to look like big brother Shi Jing."

"Is that possible? Really?"

Old Yang and Zhao Xiaoli both laughed, nodding.

Shi Jing, still conflicted, looked again at his little brother on the kang.

Finally nodded, "Alright, I’ll come play with him daily." Family’s all good-looking; this one’s too ugly, hardly bearable.

Jiang Feifei laughed aside, this brother is pretty easy to tease.

Suddenly hearing Shi Xian crying, Jiang Feifei immediately dashed out. Now this little brother only listens to her.

Wei Kaiyun saw his daughter come in, relieved.

Shi Xian, seeing his sister enter, instantly turned crying into laughter.

Wei Kaiyun rubbed his temples, helpless; this son is just too unlovable, specifically oppositional. Otherwise, the wife wouldn’t frequently worry.
