My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 287 - 13: Multiple Birth Pills
Chapter 287: Chapter 13: Multiple Birth Pills
Recently, Luo Yufang was in a very good mood because her eldest grandson had mentioned over the phone that his wife was pregnant, and she’d get to hold a great-grandchild again.
Just then, Shen Zhangming returned with a winnowing basket from outside.
"Did you get the stuff?" Luo Yufang leaned forward to peek at the motherwort seeds in the basket.
"Mhm." Although Shen Zhangming’s face was expressionless, his mood was clearly very good as he set down the winnowing basket and said, "I gave Old Lu one yuan, and he split half of it with me."
"Money-grubber! How dare he ask for one yuan for just a few seeds." Luo Yufang cursed, then turned her head and cheerfully said, "This is good, I’ve heard motherwort is better than brown sugar for expelling lochia. I’ll sow them next spring so that Wanwan can use them after she delivers the baby."
"Just be careful, we only have so many seeds, don’t ruin them," warned Shen Zhangming with concern.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already asked around about how to plant them. It’s very simple; I definitely won’t mess it up," replied Luo Yufang, brimming with confidence.
Ding-ling-ling—
"It’s either Xiuwa or Chi," Luo Yufang said as she went inside to answer the phone, "Hello?"
"Grandma, it’s me." Shen Chi’s voice came through the phone.
"Chi, have you had your meal?" Luo Yufang’s smile deepened.
"I have." Shen Chi’s throat tightened before he continued, "Grandma, I want to bring you over to take care of Wanwan."
Luo Yufang was naturally willing to care for her pregnant granddaughter-in-law, but she felt somewhat nervous about going to the Capital, even though her current city, Hang City, was not a small place, it still differed from the Capital.
Moreover, her grandson was now doing well, and as a country woman, she feared embarrassing him. There were also blood relatives of her grandson in the city; would they look down upon him for being raised by a country bumpkin like herself?
"Grandma, Wanwan’s pregnancy is difficult, she vomits everything she eats and has gotten so thin she cannot even leave the bed, let alone prepare meals three times a day. And with me busy with military affairs and so many other things to take care of at home, I just can’t do it all," explained Shen Chi. He was unaware of the old woman’s convoluted thoughts, thinking she might be reluctant to spend money on a train ticket.
"What do you mean ’not good’?" Hearing this, Luo Yufang became anxious.
The sound insulation of the phone was not good, and Shen Zhangming overheard the conversation, leaning over in a hurry.
"I don’t know either, she’s been like this since we found out. The doctor said it’ll get better after the first three months, but Wanwan can’t even finish a bowl of rice a day now, I can’t just do nothing," sighed Shen Chi.
"Well then, I’ll come right away," Luo Yufang made up her mind for the sake of her great-grandchild, then after thinking, she asked, "Should I bring Grandpa too?"
She thought about how her husband would have no one to make meals for him at home, and it might not look good to depend on her daughter-in-law’s parents’ house. It would be better if he followed her to the Capital. As for her son, he could make do at Wang Zhaodi’s for a while.
"Bring Grandpa and my dad over," Shen Chi massaged his brow as he spoke, "Once you come this time, don’t go back. Wanwan and I bought some land to build a farmhouse to move you all in with us." He did not mention the size of the farmhouse.
"What?" Luo Yufang was taken aback, "What farmhouse? Why waste the money?" While she was happy her grandson wanted to bring them to live with him, she also couldn’t help but worry about the expense.
Shen Zhangming was overjoyed, snatching the phone and saying, "Chi, are you really letting us live with you in the Capital?" Their son might be living with them, but Shen Zhangming always felt restless and longed for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He found his son too quiet, not knowing how to cheer people up, which did not bring Shen Zhangming the joy of family togetherness.
And men usually don’t ponder as much as women. For Shen Zhangming, who had never left Z Province his whole life, the opportunity to experience the Capital was truly exciting.
Most elderly people can have a hard time leaving their hometowns, but this was not exactly true for Shen Zhangming and Luo Yufang; they had left their homes several times, and though initially sad, they had grown used to city life. Besides, hadn’t their grandson mentioned that he bought land in the Capital to build a farmhouse? Surely they could be of use there.
On the other hand, Shen Mincheng, who learned the news upon his return, was somewhat hesitant. Still, the temptation to see his grandson more often quickly replaced his hesitation with excitement.
On December 1st, a weekend, Shen Chi personally drove to the train station to pick up his family.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad!" freeweɓnovel.cøm
"Chi, Little Niangao!"
When the two parties met, Shen Mincheng immediately doted on Shen Yinian, while Luo Yufang looked behind Shen Chi, "Didn’t Wanwan come?"
