The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 380 - 369: Go Home

While the two in the beds were chatting, Shen Mu came with Aunt Zhang, who had even made her a millet and red date porridge.

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, we both don’t have to stay here the whole time. Qiuqiu will be discharged tomorrow, and there will be plenty to do once we get home. How about this, you go back today, get a good night’s sleep, and you don’t need to come tomorrow either. She’ll be discharged in the afternoon, just prepare some good lactation foods at home, and wait for us."

"Aunt Zhang, how can I let you stay up all night?"

"That’s nothing, I can still sleep at night, and don’t worry, Nanzhou is also here."

Jiang Nanzhou hadn’t slept much since last night, and everyone was worried he couldn’t hold up.

Shen Mu said, "Big brother, why don’t you go back with Aunt Zhang, and I’ll stay with sister-in-law tonight?"

Yang Mingchao said, "Nanzhou, my mom and I can stay here tonight, you go back and sleep. It’s not too late if you come back early tomorrow morning."

Jiang Nanzhou shook his head, "I’m fine, you all go home to rest, I can take care of them at night."

The aunt frowned and hit him lightly, "No matter how energetic a single person is, they still can’t watch over everything, when you fetch water, go to the toilet, we can’t do without an adult with the child."

Aunt Zhang nodded repeatedly, "That’s right, we must never leave the child without an adult nearby."

At first, Jiang Nanzhou didn’t understand, but once they mentioned holding the baby, he perked up immediately and insisted on staying, refusing to leave.

Since they couldn’t persuade him, they had to let him stay.

However, after Yang Mingchao sent his father back, he came over as well.

When he arrived, he also brought over a military coat, gave it to Jiang Nanzhou, and let Jiang Nanzhou nap in the corridor for two or three hours with the coat.

Lu Jingqiu couldn’t finish the meal sent over by Aunt Zhang and the aunt by herself in the evening, so she shared some with the neighbors.

Only then did the atmosphere lighten, and the mother and daughter felt better.

The woman chatted with Lu Jingqiu, "Your family is so good to you. Ah, I’m less fortunate, both of my children are daughters."

Lu Jingqiu said, "What’s wrong with daughters, sometimes daughters are stronger than boys, and when they grow up, it’s usually the daughters who are more filial. Don’t just look at now, big sister, raise your two daughters well. When the children grow up and become successful, they will be the ones regretting."

"That’s true, I also have a job now, and even though my husband’s family doesn’t appreciate me, my man is still decent to me. When I go back this time, I’ll let my mom make a scene, and we’ll separate from the family. We’ll live our own little life. I’m happy with my two daughters. Though having daughters makes me feel bad, I won’t cry and wail like my mom did. There’s nothing to cry about."

A nearby eldersaid, "What are you saying, if the in-laws ignore you, how are you going to live with them in the future, you must not be bullied."

"With my daughters like this, I won’t be bullied."

Seeing that the woman had an open mind, Lu Jingqiu didn’t say anything more.

The aunt let her cuddle with the child to sleep at night.

Lu Jingqiu was very careful at first, but later she fell asleep and didn’t know if she had pressed against the child.

Anyway, when she woke up the next day, Jiang Nanzhou was skillfully feeding the child.

"Where are the aunt and second cousin?"

"The aunt went to make you something salty, she’s making you shredded pork noodles. Second cousin also went with her. Qiuqiu, look how I am feeding."

Seeing the child eating heartily in his arms, Lu Jingqiu said eagerly, "Let me hold and feed too."

Jiang Nanzhou carefully placed the child in her arms, but the little one was so focused on eating that he didn’t realize the change at all.

"He’s eating a lot."

"Only twenty milliliters, that’s nothing for me. Is that a lot?"

"Oh, twenty milliliters, right. Oh, by the way, has Xiao Zhang left, do we need to send a telegram to dad?"

"I had Shen Mu talk to him yesterday, he should be on his way back by now. Dad will know by tonight."

"Oh, we should really thank them someday, they’ve traveled all this way for us every day."

Jiang Nanzhou smiled, "Don’t worry, I have it in mind. Do you want to wash your face, brush your teeth...that should be okay, right?"

"Yes, I want to wash, to brush. And I need to fix my hair." She felt her hair was as messy as a chicken nest.

After feeding the baby, Jiang Nanzhou placed the child in the car seat and then warmed some water to wipe Lu Jingqiu’s face and hands. Even the water for brushing her teeth was warm.

It was Jiang Nanzhou who took care of her hair, but she felt it was still messy after he had finished. Never mind, she couldn’t afford to spoil her husband’s efforts. A little ugly was okay.

Jingqiu had a bowl of shredded pork noodles made by her aunt in the morning, though there were few noodles.

Her aunt said she should drink more soup.

After lunch, Jiang Nanzhou started to handle the discharge procedures.

Second cousin went back to bring a military vehicle over.

In just two days, they had already accumulated lots of bags and packages.

When leaving the hospital, her aunt hugged the baby for her, covering her head with a military coat, "Auntie, it’s so hot, why a military coat?"

"Even in the heat, you cannot expose yourself to the wind. Once you’re in the car, it’ll be fine."

"Oh."

Jingqiu didn’t understand, but she was sure following her aunt’s advice was the right thing to do.

Luckily, they were home in no time.

Aunt Zhang had already made up her bed at home and had simmered brown sugar eggs in their shells for her. There was also a table full of dishes waiting for them.

Upon reaching the bedroom, Jingqiu finally let out a sigh, "Home is best after all."

While arranging the baby’s little bed, her aunt said, "Home may be best, but you still can’t take a bath or turn on the fan."

"Auntie, can the fan be placed a little farther away? It’s so hot."

"No, even if it’s hot, you can’t do that. Nanzhou, keep an eye on her, she’s not allowed to bathe."

Unable to bear his wife suffering in the heat, Jiang Nanzhou quickly asked, "Can we at least use a towel for wiping, auntie?"

"That’s okay, as long as it’s with warm water, not too hot."

"Alright."

After getting her settled, her aunt went downstairs to have dinner with Aunt Zhang.

Grandpa Jiang was also downstairs entertaining the guests.

"Husband, you go down and eat something, then take a bath and have a good sleep. I’m not sleepy at all right now and I can walk around the room," she said.

"Okay. I will get some warm water for you in a bit and help you wipe down."

"Okay."

Once all the adults had gone down, Jingqiu walked over to the little bed to take a look at the little fellow and smiled, "Little guy, you’re sleeping so soundly. Do you know we’re home now?"

After dinner, her aunt told her she would come back tomorrow.

Jingqiu told her to rest at home for two days and that she would get Big Sister Erping to come over tomorrow.

"Don’t worry about it, I’ll call her over when I come tomorrow," her aunt assured her.

After her aunt had left, with Jiang Nanzhou’s help, Jingqiu wiped herself down and changed into pajamas, feeling much more comfortable.

Jiang Yiyi came back in the evening, and after much curiosity, she was hesitant to touch the tiny baby.

In the end, it was Jingqiu who held the baby, letting Yiyi touch him lightly, "Wow, so tiny."

Jingqiu laughed and said, "You were like this when you were born, too."

Yiyi responded, "It’s a pity, I don’t remember it."

After playing in the room for a while, Yiyi went to do her homework. Even though she helped out at the shop during the day, she couldn’t fall behind on her homework during the summer vacation. She earned money, but she never neglected her studies.
