Chapter 299 - 299 Little Baby

299 Little Baby

Gu Qingming gave birth naturally. After successfully giving birth in the hospital, she returned to Stoneback Village to confinement the next day.

When she was discharged, everyone wrapped Gu Qingming tightly!

She was wearing a long down jacket with a sweater inside. The shirt inside was made of high-tech material that automatically adjusted the temperature. Then, she put on a scarf. Her head was wrapped in a confinement scarf and she was wearing a woolen hat. She was wearing thick confinement pants and a pair of soft pink cotton shoes.

Looking at her bloated self in the mirror, Gu Qingming couldn’t accept it.

!!

She had always loved to look beautiful. It was really hard to accept that she was dressed like this.

Gu Qingming asked, “Grandma, Mom, do I have to dress like this? This… this outfit is too ugly.”

Grandma said very seriously, “Yes! It’s very important for a woman to go through confinement. Otherwise, she will suffer from confinement illness. Confinement illness is very troublesome. Some illnesses can plaque her for the rest of her life!”

Gu Qingming said, “But I’m wearing a thermal suit. I can’t freeze at all!”

Grandma said, “No, it’s better to be safe. You just gave birth and your body is weak. Now that the weather is cold, you have to wear warmer clothes! You don’t know, many people give birth in June and July. On hot days, they have to wrap their long sleeves. You can’t go near the fan or the air conditioner. You’re in confinement in this season. No matter how much you wear, you won’t feel hot.”

Even if Gu Qingming felt that it was not cold and there was no need to wear such thick clothes, it was not good to reject her grandmother’s good intentions. Gu Qingming continued to wear them.

Gu Qingming was not in the villa after confinement. She was at her grandmother’s house in the countryside.

Some people said that it was not good for a married woman to go through confinement at her maiden home. It would affect the feng shui of her maiden home.

Therefore, many people had to endure it no matter how bad their lives in their in-laws’ families were. They did not return to their mothers’ families, or their mothers’ families were unwilling to have them return to observe confinement.

However, the Shi Family did not believe in such things.

They believed that a harmonious family was the best feng shui.

Before they reached home, a group of people stood at the entrance of the courtyard.

When they heard that she had given birth to a daughter, they quickly set off fireworks to celebrate.

When the child came back, they definitely could not set off the fireworks. It would scare the child.

“They’re back, they’re back!”

When everyone saw the car from afar, they exclaimed excitedly.

“Everyone, move aside. Let the car enter first.”

After the car drove into the courtyard, everyone rushed to surround the car, wanting to see the child as soon as possible.

When Eldest Sister-in-law opened the door, she said to Gu Qingming first, “Congratulations, Sister. Come, let me see the child! Wow, the baby is so beautiful. She’s even more beautiful than a one-month-old child. Come, sister, let’s get out of the car first. Come slowly!”

Eldest Sister-in-law helped Gu Qingming out of the car.

On the other side, Third Aunt first took the child from her grandmother.

Everyone rushed forward. When they saw the fair and chubby baby, they exclaimed, “Wow, the baby is so beautiful! I’ve never seen such a beautiful baby!”

“I’ve never seen her before either. She’s fair and tender, and there’s a hint of red in her fair skin. She’s really beautiful!”

“Ah, I really want to kiss her!”

“Ah, you can’t kiss her now.”

“You can’t kiss the baby!”

…

Actually, when Gu Qingming was hospitalized after giving birth, many people went to see the baby.

However, every time they saw the baby, they were astounded.

Grandma immediately said, “Hurry up and bring the child back. Don’t let the baby catch a cold!”

They had to be very careful with newborns.

“Also, everyone, don’t gather together. The air circulation is not good. If you want to see the baby, you have to wait for a while before you can see her one by one!” Grandma added.

Grandma Gu walked up to Third Aunt and said with a smile, “Third Aunt, let me carry the child!”

Looking at this cute and beautiful child, Grandma Gu’s heart almost softened.

Third Aunt could snatch the child from others, but she could not snatch the child from Grandma Gu and her husband.

This was their great-grandson.

Third Aunt handed the child to Grandma Gu and smiled. “Congratulations, Grandma and Grandpa. You’ve been promoted to great-grandmother and great-grandfather!”

Grandma Gu carefully took the child and smiled. “Hehe, thank you!”

Then, she looked at the child and said excitedly, “Aiyo, my good grandson! Welcome to the Gu family. From now on, you’re the little darling of the Gu family!”

Grandpa Gu rubbed his hands excitedly and said, “Madam, let me carry her. Let me carry her!”

Grandma Gu glared at him and said, “You’re clumsy. Do you know how to carry a child?”

Grandpa Gu immediately said, “Why don’t I know how to carry a child? I’ve changed babies’ diapers before.”

Indeed, whether it was his son or granddaughter when they were young, Grandpa Gu had carried and taken care of their children. He had even changed their diapers countless times.

Grandma Gu was still unwilling to let go of the child. She said, “You were still young back then, but it’s different now! In short, you can’t carry the child!”

Grandpa Gu was speechless. He asked, “How am I different? Am I not me anymore? Even if I’m a little old, my hands and feet are still very agile. It doesn’t affect me from carrying the child at all. Madam, let me carry her for a while. Just a while, okay?”

Everyone was speechless.

This was the first time they had seen Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu disagree.

“Alright, just carry her for a while!” Grandma Gu handed the child to Grandpa Gu, but she was still worried. “Just carry her for a while!”

Grandpa Gu took the child and did not want to let go.

He chuckled and said, “Aiya, my good grandchild, come, come. Great-grandfather will give you a welcome gift!”

...

He took out a big red packet!

Everyone also took out the red packets they had prepared.

“Welcome, baby!”

Everyone was envious and wanted to carry the child, but they were too embarrassed to carry the child from Grandpa Gu.

Grandpa Shi walked over and said, “In-law, you’ve carried her for a while. It’s time for me to carry her!”

Grandpa Gu glared at him and asked, “In-law, do you know how to carry a child?”

It was Grandpa Shi’s turn to be speechless.

He asked, “Why don’t I know how to carry children? The children I’ve carried add up to ten fingers.”

“No, let me carry her!” Grandpa Gu said unwillingly. “I’ve only carried her for a short while. I still want to carry her for a while more!”

Grandpa Shi couldn’t take it anymore.

He said, “Alright, I’ll let you carry her for a while. Then it’s our turn!”

...

Grandma Gu and Grandma Shi looked at each other.

Grandma Gu walked forward and said, “You’re clumsy. You have carried her for a while. Give her to me.”

Then, Grandma Gu snatched the child from Grandpa Gu’s hand and turned around. She handed the child to Grandpa Shi and said, “In-law, come, carry her for a while!”

Grandpa Gu was speechless.

Grandpa Shi carried the child and was satisfied.

Grandma Shi said, “Alright, let’s go in quickly. Mingming, you just gave birth and can’t take the stairs. Let your brother carry you up!”

Gu Qingming said with a slightly stunned expression, “Grandma, there shouldn’t be a need for that?”
