Chapter 285 What are you doing again?
Along with a short snowfall, little Shang Zhuoming was hit by a cold wind.
For this reason, Bai Jinyu felt very guilty and thought that she should have stopped her child from going out so that he wouldn't have to take medicine every day because of catching a cold.
Fortunately, the little guy was in good health and only had a high fever for one night. After taking medicine for two days, he gradually recovered.
After New Year's Day, Shen Chaoxi and Shang Jianghan moved back to Shujing family.
That day, when the two of them were carrying the sleeping child in the car into the elevator, Shang Jianghan's work phone rang. He had official business to attend to, so he left in a hurry.
Shen Chaoxi opened the door and was greeted by his aunt's smiling gaze.
She didn't do what he expected. She put the child in the bedroom first, then changed her clothes and went downstairs.
The aunt was waiting in the hall with a smile on her face, pointing her finger towards the locker on the balcony.
"My husband had it delivered a few days ago. He said it was for his wife. The packaging was really beautiful. He asked us not to open it yet and wait for his wife to come back and open it herself."
Shen Chaoxi was confused. Shang Jianghan had kept his mouth shut these past few days and hadn't revealed a single word.
What are you doing again!
Shen Chaoxi was not too surprised as he was used to it. However, he was still shocked when he got closer. There were dozens of boxes of various sizes, with exquisite packaging and colorful bows. The big ones required both hands to hold, while the small ones could be held in the palm of the hand.
Shen Chaoxi's mouth corners curled up unconsciously.
Judging from a sign nearby, these gifts actually came from a street across from Peking University.
During class, it is not uncommon to see classmates taking out one or two items.
So, after returning home, Shen Chaoxi sat on the thick carpet, crossed his legs and began to unpack the boxes for the entire afternoon.
At first she opened the gift box by herself, and when Shang Zhuoming woke up, she joined in.
The mother and son became more and more excited as they took the toys apart, and they had a lot of fun.
What Shang Jianghan saw when he returned home was a pair of people, one big and one small, sitting on the floor in an ungraceful manner. Around them were piles of colorful paper bags and ribbons. Those various small objects were placed together, forming a circle.
After New Year's Day, in February, Mr. Shang fell seriously ill and was in critical condition twice when he was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Fortunately, the merchant spared no effort and recruited experts from all over the country to bring the old man back from the brink of death.
Because of the old man’s illness, Bai Jinyu’s plan to return to Zurich had to be postponed.
All in all, the old man is almost ninety years old. He had to deal with the ups and downs of the business world in his early years, which is why his mind is dull in his old age.
The old man was admitted to the VIP ward of Peking University.
Shen Chaoxi went to visit several times, and once he was asked why he didn't bring his children with him.
The old man was seriously ill and sometimes he was confused and didn't recognize people, but he was always thinking about Shang Zhuoming.
The fate between people may be destined.
On this day, the weather was clear and Shen Chaoxi was at home on winter vacation, so he brought his child to the hospital.
At the door of the ward, Shen Chaoxi had already grasped the door handle with one hand, but stopped when he heard low crying sounds coming from the ward.
The voice came from my great aunt.
Ever since the old man fell ill, apart from family members and nurses, the person who has spent the longest time in the ward is my aunt.
"Yaoxiang, do you still remember me?" This was the first time the aunt called the old man's name like this.
The old man hesitated for a moment and stammered two words.
The aunt sobbed softly, and then said: "I know that you only have sister-in-law in your heart, but I don't blame you, after all, I am the one who can stay by your side for a long time!
You once said that if you had met me first and married me, you would have treated me wholeheartedly.
It was just fate that made you marry my sister-in-law, so you put away your feelings for me and kept doing so for decades. No matter how I treated you over the years, in your heart you were determined that the one you cared about the most was my sister-in-law.
I know that merchants have a rule to marry only one wife in their lifetime.
But, Brother Xiang, are you unwilling to admit it or has it become a habit? You clearly said at the beginning that there is only room for me in your heart!"
As she got emotional, her sobbing became louder. The little guy in Shen Chaoxi's arms was already impatient and twisted his body to get off.
Shen Chaoxi had no intention of eavesdropping on the old man's thoughts, so he quietly left with the child in his arms.
Qiao Huihui is on the day shift today and had just returned from her ward rounds. On her way back to the office, she saw a couple, one big and one small, walking towards her.
"Xiao Mingming, are you here to see your second aunt?"
The little guy tilted his head and thought about it, then shook his head: "Look at Grandpa!"
Today, Shang Zhuoming has excellent language skills and can speak simple sentences.
Qiao Huihui pretended to be angry: "Can't you just coax your second aunt?
So children’s words are innocent and they will never lie, right? "
After teasing the child for a while, Qiao Huihui asked Shen Chaoxi: "Are you here to see grandpa?"
Shen Chaoxi's eyes flickered for a moment, and he entered Qiao Huihui's office before saying, "I went to the ward, and my aunt was talking to my grandfather, so I left first."
She used the word "avoid" in her words, and Qiao Huihui roughly guessed the reason.
"Hey! Let's not get involved in the emotional entanglements of the older generation."
After leaving the hospital, Shen Chaoxi took Shang Zhuoming to the Zhong family villa.
Zhongli has been at home taking care of the pregnancy during this period.
The school was on vacation, and Su Tian was sent to the villa by Jong Suk-hee.
Anyway, taking care of one pregnant woman is the same as taking care of two pregnant women.
Shang Zhuoming's arrival undoubtedly added endless fun to the villa, which was carefully dominated by two pregnant women all day long.
Liang Jing kept complaining: "You said these two kids, neither of them is worry-free. They were a little better today, and I made them delicious food, but the next day they all vomited and felt dizzy!"
Although complaining, Liang Jing still had a smile on his face.
Shang Zhuoming was playing downstairs, and Shen Chaoxi went to Zhongli's room to whisper to her.
Ever since the Song family found out that Zhongli was pregnant, they came to visit her almost every day, and skin care products were sent to the Zhong family in large quantities.
"I feel like my child and his grandmother don't get along. Whenever she comes, I feel uncomfortable all over!"
There is an insurmountable gap between Zhongli and Tian Fangfang.
Shen Chaoxi pointed out: "It's not that you and the child are incompatible, it's that you feel uncomfortable."
Zhongli rolled his eyes and talked about happy things.
"We plan to get the marriage certificate on Valentine's Day. Song Yang said that we will hold a celebration ceremony at that time. Remember to come and bring my godson with you!"
After having lunch at the Zhong family villa, Shang Zhuoming wanted to leave, so Shen Chaoxi took him back to Chongyuan Road.
The weather is getting colder and colder. This year the Chinese New Year falls at the end of the month.
After attending Zhongli and Song Yang's wedding registration ceremony, Shen Chaoxi concentrated on handling studio matters for a few days and then stayed at home to prepare items for the New Year.
Last year during the Spring Festival, the child was still in swaddling clothes, but this year he was clamoring to set off firecrackers and wear new clothes.
Shen Chaoxi specially ordered a set of Tang suits for the little one, as well as Yaya and Diandiandi, from Ejia children's clothing store, and then began to buy window paper-cuts and lanterns online.
During this time, Shen Chaoxi asked Shang Jianghan where they would gather for the New Year.
The old man is in the hospital and no one has lived in the main house for a year, so it is not realistic to clean it up temporarily.
"Stay here. I'll tell my parents. The weather is too cold. Take care of the children first."
Recently, there was another outbreak of influenza A in the city, mainly targeting children.
The family is unwilling to take any risks and puts the child's health first.
