Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Chapter 248

Now let's talk about the hospital.

He Chunru had to stay in the hospital to take care of the mother and newborn, so she asked Gu Youtao to take the pig's feet back and stew them.

As the eldest grandson of the Gu family, Gu Youtao has never done housework since he was a child, let alone stewing soup.

As soon as he left the hospital, he started to worry.

Before getting married, he didn't know what to do and needed help. Perhaps the first place he would think of was the Gu family's old house.

After all, there is a nanny in the old house.

There is still a difference between a man before and after marriage.

The first person he wanted to ask for help at this moment was his mother-in-law.

Old Mrs. Niu was hanging clothes in the yard and saw Gu Youtao coming back from a distance carrying a big pig's trotter.

"Youtao, where did you get this big pig's trotter?" Old Mrs. Niu's eyes lit up when she saw the pig's trotter.

He took two steps at a time and took the pig's trotter. He weighed it in his hand and said, "This weighs at least three pounds."

The pig's foot that Lin Shu bought was not a pig's trotter, but the entire pig's front leg.

"Mom, this is what my aunt made for Xiaoqin to produce milk. You can stew it and I'll give it to Xiaoqin at noon. It's been a few hours since she gave birth, but she still hasn't produced milk. My mom said she needs some pig's trotter soup."

"Okay, you wait." Old Mrs. Niu didn't even hang up the clothes and went into the kitchen carrying the pig's trotter.

Having not slept the whole night, Gu Youtao was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyelids.

Since stewing the pig's trotters would take time, he simply went into the house, found a bed and lay down to rest.

After the soup was ready, Old Lady Niu woke Gu Youtao up to eat.

After the two finished their meal, Old Lady Niu asked Gu Youtao to bring the pig's trotter soup he brought for Niu Xiaoqin, and she also brought two lunch boxes.

"Mom, why do you bring so many lunch boxes?" Gu Youtao looked confused when he saw the lunch boxes in Old Lady Niu's hands.

Old Lady Niu turned around and locked the door, saying, "This meal is for your brother. He is working outside and won't be back at noon. I'll bring it to them."

"Is the place where I work on the way to us?" Gu Youtao put the lunch box in the basket in front of the bicycle.

"It's not on the way. You take the soup to the hospital for Xiaoqin first. I'll go to the hospital to see her after I deliver the meal." Old Mrs. Niu didn't let Gu Youtao go with her.

Gu Youtao didn't think much about it. Worried that Niu Xiaoqin would be hungry, he rode his bike and left first.

Old Mrs. Niu watched Gu Youtao leave, smiled while holding the lunch box, turned left and right in the alley, and finally entered a private house.

There were several baskets of fresh bean sprouts in the yard of this house, and a lot of soybeans and mung beans were soaking by the well next to it.

Obviously, this is a bean sprout processing workshop.

Niu Xiaodi was soaking beans. When he saw Old Lady Niu come in, he put down his bucket and went to greet her. "Mom, why are you here?"

Old Mrs. Niu smiled at the other workers, then pulled Little Brother Niu out of the yard.

"Mom, if you have something to say, just tell me. Why did you pull me out here?" Niu Xiaodi had worked all day and was too tired to move.

Old Lady Niu pulled him out, and he was a little reluctant and impatient.

"Shh, don't make any noise. I brought you some food and stewed pig's trotters."

"Pig's trotter?" When Niu Xiaodi heard about pig's trotter, he swallowed hard and said, "Did your family buy pig's trotters today?"

"Yes, I went to the market to buy it for you, just to nourish your body. You do hard labor here, and if you don't eat some meat to nourish your body, your body will collapse in the long run."

Old Mrs. Niu opened the two lunch boxes she brought. One lunch box was filled with rice, and the other was filled with stewed pig's feet.

Niu Xiaodi looked at the trembling pig's feet that he picked up. They were soft, tender and chewy. He felt a little comforted after taking a bite, as his stomach, which had not tasted meat for half a month, felt a little better.

"Eat slowly and don't choke."

Seeing her precious son wolfing down the food, Old Lady Niu felt very distressed.

"Mom, have you eaten?" After eating half full, Niu finally had time to care about old lady Niu.

"Don't worry about me, there's still half a pot at home."

......

Lin Shu was busy at the garment factory all day. After staying there for a day, she learned that Gu Nuan had applied for a dormitory at the company and was planning to move into the factory dormitory.

"Are you planning to separate the family?"

When Gu Nuan mentioned her husband's family, the smile on her face disappeared, and she frowned slightly and said, "My mother-in-law doesn't want to split up the family, but on the one hand, she is greedy for our living expenses and wants to rely on us for support. On the other hand, she despises my three daughters and favors her two precious grandsons."

Every family has its cupboard.

Lin Shu didn't know why Gu Nuan married Hu Renyou. It was said that one should marry a daughter with one's head held high and marry a daughter-in-law with one's head lowered.

The Hu family's conditions are not good in the provincial capital, and are far inferior to the Gu family's family background.

How did the two of them get together?

"Far away, but smelly nearby. Maybe if you live separately, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be eased." Lin Shu's consolation was a little pale and powerless.

Gu Nuan smiled indifferently: "Don't talk about me, while it's still light, hurry up and accompany me to the hospital."

Lin Shu got on his bike and asked with a smile, "Will you come to my house for dinner again tonight?"

"I do want to, but my three daughters are at the Hu family, and I really don't feel at ease if I don't go home. I'm afraid the three children won't have enough to eat at night."

Lin Shu was surprised and said, "It's not that exaggerated, right? After all, your brother-in-law is still at home when you are not at home. He can't be unable to take care of his own children, right?"

"Men are always unreliable. It's better to rely on myself than on him." Gu Nuan smiled sadly.

If a woman marries an unreliable man and does not change, she will suffer endless pain in her life.

Lin Shu noticed her expression and changed the subject, "Now that Gu Youtao is a father, when do you think Youhui can get married?"

Speaking of Gu Youhui, Gu Nuan's face became much better. "That boy is so focused on his career. If we want him to date and get married, we don't know when that will happen."

Lin Shu: "Marriage cannot be rushed. Maybe it's not his destiny yet. When it's his destiny, he will arrange it himself if you don't push him to get married."

The two chatted and laughed all the way, and when they arrived at the hospital, they found that only the mother, the newborn baby and sister-in-law He Chunru were in the ward.

"Aunt, little aunt."

"Aunt, why are you here at this time?"

Gu Nuan held her sister-in-law He Chunru's hand and looked at the newborn in the crib. The red skin was still the same as in the morning.

"Sister-in-law, now you have been promoted to a grandmother, how do you feel?"

Lin Shu smiled at Niu Xiaoqin who was leaning on the bed: "How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

Niu Xiaoqin forced a smile, "It hurts below and above, anyway it's uncomfortable."

He Chunru explained: "The lower part is episiotomy, so it must be painful, but it will slowly get better after the stitches are removed in a few days. As for the upper part, it will get better after the baby is sucked through."

It is not easy to comfort a mother, as every mother has to go through this stage. It is precisely because of the untold hardships and the life-and-death test of giving birth to a child that the greatness of a mother can be demonstrated.

Niu Xiaoqin felt wronged and wanted to cry: "I drank half a bowl of pig's trotter soup at noon, and it has been swollen and uncomfortable here since the afternoon. The child is weak, I really don't know how to get it unblocked?"

Gu Nuan patted her on the shoulder and consoled her: "If it really doesn't work, ask You Tao to help you at night."

Lin Shu held back her laughter and glanced at the baby in the crib. It seemed that she had forgotten to ask whether the child was a boy or a girl.

"Sister-in-law, is this baby a boy or a girl?"

"It's a baby girl."

"Aunt, aunt." Gu Youtao walked in from outside carrying a lunch box.

"This is food for Xiaoqin." Gu Nuan took the lunch box from Gu Youtao's hand, helped open it and prepared to feed her.

Just open the lunch box and you will find egg soup inside.

"Xiaoqin is in the milk production period now, don't you make pig's trotter soup for her?"

He Chunru was slightly stunned when she heard this, "I made pig's trotter soup at noon."

Lin Shu found egg soup in the lunch box and turned to look at his sister-in-law.

Gu Chunru naturally saw the egg soup in the lunch box and asked angrily, "Boss, why didn't you bring pig's trotter soup for Xiaoqin? This egg soup is not as nutritious as pig's trotter soup!"
