Chapter 759 Recent News
After completing the prenatal checkup for Ying, Shao Yun supported Ying, who was eight months pregnant and had difficulty moving, and returned to their cottage on the outskirts of Fontaine.
Before they knew it, they had spent nearly five months in this cozy little house.
Just then, three good friends, Navia, Clorinde and Funina, came to visit together.
When they saw Shao Yun, Ying, and Paimeng coming back, Navia immediately came forward with a smile on her face and welcomed them warmly:
"You're finally back! What were the results of the prenatal checkup? Is the baby healthy?"
Ying felt Navia's concern and responded with a smile: "Navia, thank you for your concern. Everything is going well and the baby is healthy."
Fu Nina's eyes fell on Ying's bulging belly and she asked casually, "Looking at the shape of your belly, are you about to give birth?"
Ying gently stroked her round belly and replied softly, "Well, it's almost time. Sigwen said that the baby's due date is coming soon, so I should pay more attention to my physical condition."
"She also suggested that I go directly to the infirmary in Mello Petersburg, which would be safer."
Funina stared at Ying's bulging belly and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"It must be a wonderful feeling to have a little baby in your belly, right? Ying, you must be very busy every day."
Ying nodded, then glanced at Shao Yun beside her with some anger, then reached out and pinched his face mercilessly, muttering as she pinched.
"It's all Shao Yun's fault. He's the one who made me pregnant. He's the one who made me suffer so much now!"
Shao Yun did not resist Ying's action. Instead, he let her pinch his face with a helpless smile on his face.
"Okay, don't be angry, it's all my fault..."
……
A group of people sat down on the sofa in the living room and started chatting casually.
Suddenly, Ying turned to look at Navia and asked, "By the way, Navia, what is the current situation of the Thorn Rose Society?"
Navia shrugged her shoulders at first, then said with a nonchalant expression: "The Thorn Rose Club, um... how should I put it, there's nothing special about it, it's still the same as always."
Ying nodded, then turned her gaze to Funina and asked, "What about you, Funina, how have you been lately?"
Finina's answer was exactly the same as Navia's. She smiled and said, "As for me, I'm still the same as before. There's not much change in my daily life."
"It's just that Xavier always comes to me to discuss scripts and filming commercials."
Then, Fu Nina changed the subject and suddenly looked at Shao Yun in a teasing manner, and then said: "Shao Yun, you really made me suffer! Now I can't even sleep in."
Shao Yun, who was standing aside, didn't know what to say when he saw that Fu Ningna actually started to blame him.
When you were counting the 100 million Moras and taking pictures with your little golden man, why didn't you say a word of complaint?
You're still being ungrateful after getting a bargain...
At this time, Ying turned her gaze to Clorinde who was sitting next to Navia, and asked with a smile: "Clorinde, how have you been recently?"
Clorinde recalled her daily life briefly after hearing this, and then replied: "Well, I'm still the same as always."
"Every day I go to work, get off work, and then get dragged by Navia to go shopping. But to be honest, shopping is really meaningless to me."
For Clorinde, her shopping was very purposeful, wandering aimlessly... was not her character.
Then, Clorinde suddenly remembered something and continued, "Oh, right! If there is anything new and interesting recently, it should be the Thousand Rock Army stranded in Soft Light Harbor."
Paimon heard this and couldn't help but interrupt curiously: "Huh? Those Thousand Rocks soldiers who helped with the disaster relief haven't left Fontaine yet? The reconstruction of Fontaine has been completed, right?"
Clorinde nodded and explained, "Yes, I also find it strange. So I took the time to ask about the situation, but even the Thousand Rock Army doesn't quite know the specific reason."
"It is said that Liyue has not issued any orders yet..."
Paimon stretched out his little hand and counted the days that the Thousand Rock Army stayed in Fontaine by counting his fingers carefully.
"One, two, three... um, it should be four or five months! What happened in Liyue? Why did the Thousand Winds Army stay here for so long? Ah..."
Clorinde on the side added, "Then Lord Villette is planning to send someone to Liyue to inquire about the details."
“Although Fontaine is grateful for Liyue’s help, it is still inappropriate for the Thousand Rocks Army to remain in Fontaine.”
After all, there have been troops from other countries stationed in their own port. Even if they came to help, the flood in Fontaine and the disaster relief operations happened a long time ago. Isn’t it a bit too much for them to still stay here?
Just as everyone (except Ying and Shao Yun) was discussing what had happened in Liyue, an enticing aroma wafted over.
Shen He had already prepared lunch and was standing in front of the dining table, inviting everyone to come over and eat.
Even though Shen He has lived in this house for more than two months, for Ying, Paimeng and Shao Yun, having one more mouth to feed in the house is not a problem at all.
Moreover, Shen He really poured all her tenderness into Ying, and even Yuan Shang admired her meticulous care.
Of course, it is also possible that it was because Shen He has always had a vague hostility towards Yuan Shang.
Ying was also reluctant to let Shen He return to Liyue. Even if she let her return to Liyue, she could only practice spear skills day after day on Mount Ao Zang. It would be better for her to stay with him.
At the dining table, Ying looked at the "Lian Xin Noodles" that Shen He specially prepared for her, and said softly, "Shen He, you took the trouble."
After Shen He received Ying's praise, he felt so happy in his heart. He was so happy to be praised!
Paimeng saw that Shenhe was the only one preparing lunch, and suddenly he asked curiously: "Shenhe, where is Yuanshang?"
Shen He pointed to the door and explained, "He left this morning after you took Ying to the prenatal checkup. He said he was going to buy groceries, but he hasn't come back yet."
When Shao Yun heard Shen He say that Yuan Shang had gone out to buy vegetables, he doubted whether he would go to the place of origin of the vegetables to buy freshly picked ingredients.
……
At the same time, in front of an orchard.
Yuan Shang said proudly: "Boss, I'll buy all the fresh vegetables from your orchard today!"
……
Clorinde and Navia looked at the chopsticks and dragon beard noodles in front of them and looked at each other in confusion for a moment.
For these two Fontaine people who were holding cutlery, using chopsticks was indeed a bit difficult...
However, Funina picked up the chopsticks very skillfully and started slurping the noodles.
After swallowing a mouthful of noodles, Funina looked at Navia and Clorinde who had not yet started eating, and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to eat?"
Navia looked at Funina using chopsticks so skillfully and asked, "Funina, you can use Liyue's tableware..."
Funina nodded. After all, she had lived for more than 500 years, so she knew the tableware etiquette of different places very well!
"About two hundred years ago, I learned some dining etiquette from a Liyue merchant..."
……
Although this lunch was a little difficult for Navia and Clorinde, fortunately they finished it.
After Furninna, Clorinde and Navia finished their lunch, Shao Yun showed them a movie.
Funina didn't feel anything, after all, this was the director's cut and she was the director.
Clorinde wasn't very interested either, after all, she was also filming the whole process.
But Navia was so happy when she saw it. After all, she had only seen the regular release version, and the director's cut was so attractive to her!
It was not until the evening that the three guests left the suburban cottage where Shao Yun was currently living.
……
The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and Shao Yun came to the Buffati Mansion in Fontaine.
The reason why Shao Yun came here was because Ying's due date was approaching.
Although Yuan Shang is around, she doesn't have to worry about taking care of the child, but he is the child's real father after all. He can't just be responsible for making the child happy and then leave the child to Yuan Shang to comfort him when he cries.
He was worried, what if the child would stop being close to him in the future? He had to learn some basic parenting knowledge!
Ask Yuan Shang? I can't lose face like that. I have to save my face too!
So, how do we learn parenting experience?
Shao Yun pondered over it, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of Alechino's Fireplace House.
Isn’t this largest welfare home in Teyvat a great place to learn parenting experience?
Besides, Alechino still owes me a favor!
So, Shao Yun came to the Buffati Mansion early in the morning. After explaining his purpose to the guard, the guard took him to see Arecino.
Walking into the familiar reception room, Shao Yun immediately saw Alechino sitting on the sofa.
"Hello, Alechino! Long time no see!" Shao Yun greeted warmly.
Alechino looked at Shao Yun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and suddenly came to visit him. He asked in confusion: "Mr. Shao Yun, why did you suddenly come to visit me?"
Shao Yun did not exchange too many pleasantries, but directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Ms. Alechino, I came here today to learn something from you."
"You want to learn from me?" Alechino asked incredulously, "What can I teach you?"
Shao Yun replied without hesitation: "I want to learn some parenting knowledge from you."
"You are the director of the 'Heartland House' welfare home. You must have rich experience and expertise in childcare. I believe you can provide me with a lot of valuable advice and guidance."
After hearing what Shao Yun said, Alechino nodded in sudden enlightenment and said, "Oh, I see. But I'm still a little curious, why are you suddenly interested in parenting knowledge?"
Shao Yun licked his lips and explained, "It's like this, Ying is about to give birth, and as her husband and the child's father, I feel that I should know more about parenting so that I can take better care of our child."
"Besides, since you owe me a favor, please teach me."
When Alechino saw Shao Yun mentioned the favor he owed him, he readily agreed.
"Oh, well, follow me."
