Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 963: Discharged from the Hospital

He arrived at the hospital, greeted his sister-in-law, but didn’t get close, as the chill on him was too pronounced.

"Chaoyang, thank you." Hong Lin patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

"What are you talking about? I’m not waiting for you to finish eating, I’m going back for dinner now."

"Take Xue’er back with you. I’ll stay here just fine."

Li Xue sat on the back seat of the bicycle. "Second Brother, have you had classes these past few days?"

"I have, three days of classes, but I’ve missed two days." Chaoyang smiled wryly, regarding his own schooling.

"Second Brother, this time I’ll go back with you, and we can find the teacher to make up the missed classes tonight."

"Alright, but the teacher’s place is inconvenient, no place for us to make up classes."

"We can do it in the classroom, you can pick up and drop off the teacher, can’t you?"

"That’s doable, let’s ask when we get back."

When they got home, everyone was waiting for them to eat, making the two kids feel quite embarrassed.

Li Yunqiao took out some white wine, but no one drank it as he had to work in the afternoon, and the others also declined.

After lunch, Qu Xiaoli wanted to go to the hospital herself, "It’s so comfortable at home, why let Lihong stay at the hospital?"

"Second Aunt, my sister-in-law asked my brother to handle the discharge procedures; she’s coming back today."

"I’ll have Secretary Wang call a car this afternoon to pick up your sister-in-law."

"Dad, that’s not good, didn’t you say a lot of people are watching you? Isn’t this using a work vehicle for personal use?" Li Xue frowned.

"Uncle, we can use the tractor to pick up my sister-in-law, adding a few more blankets. It’s not far, and she’ll be home before it gets cold."

Li Yunqiao felt a bit troubled. He knew using a car was not good, but he also worried his son and daughter-in-law wouldn’t be comfortable with it.

"Brother, let Chaoyang District handle it, I’ll wear a coat and carry the child with me."

"Alright, you go then, it’s midday, not too cold yet; by evening, it’ll be windy."

Lu Fengzhen quickly packed things, laying down three layers of pads, bringing three blankets, and pulling out a military coat, hat, and scarf.

She also filled three infusion bottles with hot water and tucked them between the bedding.

Everything was prepared. Chaoyang and his mother with Lu Fengzhen and Li Xue all got on the vehicle to the hospital.

Li Honglin hadn’t completed the discharge procedures, he didn’t want his wife to go home, feeling relieved with doctors around.

Qu Xiaoli entered the ward, "Hong Lin, go handle the discharge procedures. It’s warm and comfortable at home, let’s go back."

"Second Aunt, there are no doctors at home." Li Honglin replied bitterly.

"You fool, your wife and child are perfectly fine, what do you need doctors for? Hurry up."

Li Honglin thought about it and realized his second aunt had a point, so he went out to handle the procedures.

"Second Aunt, I’m parched from talking, and he just won’t budge. It’s infuriating."

"That’s because Hong Lin cares about you and the baby."

Qu Xiaoli said as she helped Zheng Lihong pack her things.

"Lihong, we’re taking the tractor back. Don’t mind it, you know how difficult it is for your dad."

"Second Aunt, how could I not understand? If you hadn’t brought the tractor, I would’ve thought about walking back holding the baby."

"Good kid, you understand. I’ll hold the baby later, keep him in my arms."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you, Second Aunt."

Lu Fengzhen and Li Xue very quickly packed the necessities. Lu Fengzhen dressed and prepared Zheng Lihong, then they all headed out. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

After getting in the vehicle, Lu Fengzhen draped a blanket over Zheng Lihong’s head, with several hot water bottles around her. "Lihong, endure it for a bit, we’ll be home soon."

A quarter of an hour later, Zheng Lihong was bundled in blankets as she entered the house.

"It’s still warmer at home."

"Lihong, hurry inside and lie down, you need to take care of yourself."

The baby was also placed on the bed, and Wang Wugu put two hot water bottles on it, making Zheng Lihong feel very warm. "Thank you, Auntie."

"No need to thank me. I’m from the countryside, maybe I’m raising the baby all wrong, just tell me anything directly."

"How could that be? Elders have experience." Zheng Lihong knew she was here to help with her postpartum care.

The Lu family’s eldest sister-in-law brought in a bowl of pig trotter soup, with a few chunks of pig’s trotter.

"Lihong, have some, and you can feed the baby later."

As she ate, Zheng Lihong couldn’t help but think, if postpartum care is like this, it’s quite comfortable indeed.

Li Yungui stayed for a while, "Brother, we’re going back, it’s windy and cold if we stay too late."

"Alright, go back and take Xue with you, we got Fifth Aunt here, so we’re managing fine."

The Lu family’s eldest sister-in-law advised Lu Fengzhen a lot, as someone who’s had several children, she definitely had experience.

"Fengzhen, take care of yourself, you’re not young anymore and need to rest well. Mom said she’ll come see you when the weather warms up."

"Mm, I understand, don’t worry, I’ll listen to Fifth Aunt."

"Good, as long as you’re aware. I’m heading back now."

Lu Fengzhen felt a bit embarrassed, as the eldest sister-in-law brought so much food with her, but returned empty-handed, having no time to buy anything.

Just then, Li Honglin returned. He brought eight packs of snacks, two pounds each, giving six to the Lu family and one each to the second and fourth uncles as a gesture.

Though it wasn’t much, it made Lu Fengzhen happy, at least relieving her embarrassment.

Everyone got on the vehicle, Li Xue leaned into Qu Xiaoli’s embrace, not feeling too cold either.

After sending off the two families, Li Yunqiao didn’t have any meetings in the afternoon, so he didn’t go to work.

Wang Wugu told Lu Fengzhen to go rest, that she would take care of Zheng Lihong.

Li Yunqiao cuddled with his wife, "Fengzhen, feeling happy now?"

"Yes, I really adore my Fifth Aunt. Loved trailing her around when I was little."

"As long as you’re happy." Li Yunqiao’s hand slipped under Lu Fengzhen’s clothing, gently caressing her stomach.

"This child and his nephew are the same age."

"Indeed, but different generations."

"Indeed?" Li Yunqiao’s hand began to wander, and Lu Fengzhen slapped his hand away, "I’m tired, I want to sleep."

Li Yunqiao had to let it go. Previously, intimacy was incidental for him, but now just lying next to his wife stirred desires.

Li Honglin also lay beside his wife, the young couple whispering together.

"Honglin, I think your stepmother is definitely pregnant."

"That’s great too."

"You’ll have a sibling younger than your son."

"As long as Dad is happy, it’s fine."

Indeed, as long as the father-in-law is content, it’s fine.

"This Fifth Aunt seems alright."

"Anyone sent over is certainly good. What’s there to worry about? As long as she can take care of you and the baby, anyone will do.

I’ll drop by my mother-in-law’s tonight. Let her know you’ve been discharged, so she doesn’t come for nothing."
