Chapter 215 The Child Has a Secret
Seeing that she could not gain any benefit, Old Lady Liu waded back through the thick snow. She had to go back. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that Liu Pan would look at this stupid girl and take her to the hospital and ask her to pay for Shen Xue's hospitalization fees.
Liu Pan looked at her mother striding away, with her hands on her hips and her head held high, like a hen that had won a battle. She was extremely proud.
It was impossible to take things from Liu Pandi. She had to go back to her parents' home tomorrow to ask for some things. She had been married for so many years and had taken a lot of things back to her parents' home from her husband's home.
Now that she has a son, she has to be careful with everything, otherwise she won't be able to support her son. She has to find a way to get back whatever she has taken back to her parents' home.
She was pregnant now, and she didn't believe that her sister-in-law and sister-in-law would hit her. If they dared to do it, she would lie down and cry about the stomachache, and extort a few eggs from them. The more Liu Pandi thought about it, the more he felt that his brain was working well.
The malted milk she drank these days was not in vain. It was not only nutritious, but also helped to grow her brain. It was great. She had to go back to her room and make a bowl of it. She should drink more malted milk so that the son in her belly would be fat and white when he was born.
Shen Chunling looked out through the crack in the door, "Mom, my third brother's wife has returned to her room. She was not deceived by Old Lady Liu."
This time, my third brother’s wife dared to challenge her mother. It’s really rare and really makes people happy to see it.
Old Lady Shen listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter and snorted, "This time she is not stupid enough to miss her own little family."
Although the third son can control his family, he has a daughter-in-law who wants to move out of the house every day. The third son has to look after her every day. After a long time, he becomes tired and his mother feels sorry for her son.
It snowed almost every day that day. Every time Shen Shuyu opened the door, the cold wind blew in and she shivered.
Shen Shuyu, who used to be lazy and had a lot of poop and pee, had reduced her visits to the toilet. There was nothing she could do. The cold wind was blowing and her butt was frozen. She couldn't squat down. She would not go to the toilet if she could avoid it.
If she wasn't afraid that her family would find out that she didn't go to the toilet, and had to go once or twice to show her respect, Shen Shuyu would have wanted to solve the problem directly in the space.
Shen Shuyu has hardly gone out recently. Every day, she goes to and from school, either roasting sweet potatoes and chestnuts in the kitchen or staying in the house.
In contrast, Gu Jiandong has been like a busy man these days. He gets up every day, eats breakfast, pushes his bicycle, and says with a smile that he wants to go out to play. He only goes home after dark.
When asked where he went to play, the child had learned to evade her and kept talking about other things and refused to tell her.
Shen Shuyu also sighed, thinking that the child might have grown up and had secrets, and now he had things to hide from her.
Knowing that he had a secret, Shen Shuyu asked him, but he refused to tell her. Shen Shuyu did not ask any further questions. Even though the child was still young, she had to respect him.
Besides, what big secrets could a child who needs to be coaxed to sleep have? He was probably playing hide-and-seek treasure with Goudan, Jinbao and the others and just came back late.
Today, Gu Jiandong came back earlier than yesterday, at around 4:00 p.m. As soon as he entered the yard and saw Shen Shuyu under the eaves, he smiled brightly.
"Shu Yu, I'm back. I brought you a gift today."
He parked his bike and strode to the kitchen. He came out two minutes later and walked in front of Shen Shuyu.
When he opened his military coat, he revealed what he had hidden inside. It was a flat round pot. Shen Shuyu couldn't remember what it was for a moment.
"Shu Yu, reach out and touch it."
Shen Shuyu reached out and touched the flat round pot in his arms. It was made of copper, warm, and had a hole like a bottle cap. "Is this a hot water bottle?"
Gu Jiandong showed his big white teeth, "Yes, it's a hot water bottle. Fill it with hot water every day. Then when you go out, hold it and you won't feel cold."
No matter how much Shen Shuyu wore, she would always feel cold every time she went out of the house. Maybe she was a southerner in her previous life and was not used to the cold in the north.
Gu Jiandong saw this and took it to heart. He went out to do things these days and never forgot to look for a hot water bottle.
A hot water bottle was not easy to find, and Gu Jiandong took some effort to find one that worked.
"Shu Yu, the hot water bottle is a little hot. Please wrap it with clothes before taking it. I will go back to the room to make clothes for it."
Gu Jiandong went into his room, took needle and thread and started to sew an insulating cover for the hot water bottle. He sewed quickly and finished it in ten minutes. The cloth he cut was red. After the insulating cover was made, he put it on the hot water bottle, making it look very festive.
Shen Shuyu held the hot water bottle in her arms, "Gu Jiandong, where did you find the hot water bottle? It's really warm."
Gu Jiandong: "It fell from the sky and I picked it up."
Shen Shuyu: “…” The naughty kid is getting more and more naughty and is even playing jokes on her.
Gu Jiandong had just returned and was shivering all over. He took off his military coat and shook the snow off his clothes. He also brushed the snow off his hair with his hands.
He also took a shower and smelled delicious before approaching Shen Shuyu.
"Shu Yu, do I smell good?"
"Fragrant!" Shen Shuyu felt it was very strange. They were obviously using the same scent of soap, but the soap used by Gu Jiandong was more fragrant and smelled better than the one she used. She didn't know if it was her illusion.
Shen Shuyu really likes the smell of him, and every time he comes out of the shower, Shen Shuyu will get closer to him.
After recovering, Gu Jiandong seemed to have discovered this as well. He would rub the soap vigorously while taking a bath, wishing that the soap would soak into the water so that he could seduce Shen Shuyu.
His soap had just been used for a week and it had shrunk by half. Shen Shuyu was quite surprised to see that his soap was so small.
After all, soap is quite durable. She used her soap for more than a month and still had a small piece left. If she remembered correctly, his soap was only used for a week.
"Gu Jiandong, are you playing with bubbles with soap?"
Of course, Gu Jiandong would not say that he was rubbing himself hard, trying to turn himself into essence to attract Shen Shuyu's attention.
"White Radish, it always wants to play with bubbles, so I rubbed it a little more during the bath and gave it to play with."
Gu Jiandong discovered that it was quite good to have white radish around, as he could blame it for everything.
The white radish playing in the snow in the yard has a big question mark on its black head: When did I play with bubbles?
The white radish tilted its head and thought for a while, then it realized that Gu Jiandong was throwing the blame on it. The docile and family-oriented white radish suddenly bared its teeth at Gu Jian, ran in front of him, and kept digging snow with its four legs, splashing snow all over Gu Jiandong.
Gu Jiandong wiped the snow off his face, stood behind Shen Shuyu, and complained fearlessly, "Shuyu, look, Bai Luobu is bullying me."
Shen Shuyu suppressed her laughter and said, "I'll talk to you about Bai Luobo later. You should go back to the house first. It's cold outside."
Gu Jiandong had just come out of the shower and was wearing a long-sleeved shirt. He stood under the eaves for so long, but the kid didn't even feel cold.
