Volume 7: Frost Chapter 59: Hold on tight
Jiang You spent the rest of September quite leisurely, tidying up the yard, playing with the birds and taking the children out for a walk.
Two days before the National Day, he and Chen Nan took Jiang Mo and Yunyun to Zhuzhou. Before the holiday, they went shopping and eating in Zhuzhou, and then met up with Yuan Shu at the hotel.
Yuan Shu came alone. Jiang You and Chen Nan were carrying a lot of bags and dragging two children. They walked towards the elevator while chatting.
While waiting for the elevator, Yuan Shu bent down and looked at Jiang Mo. He asked, "Xiao Mo? Do you still recognize me?"
Jiang Mo glanced at Jiang You and nodded.
Yuan Shu was very pleased. After standing up straight, he looked at Chen Nan and said, "Is this your daughter?"
"That's right," Chen Nan turned to Yunyun and said, "Call me Uncle Yuan."
"Uncle Yuan." Yunyun called obediently.
At this moment, the elevator door opened with a ding and they walked in.
After the door closed again, Yuan Shu said, "Xiao Wei was originally going to come, and she had already taken leave, but one of her colleagues got sick, so she had to take over."
"Do you still have to go to work on the 11th?" Jiang You asked.
"She works at an exhibition. When it's a holiday for others, it's her day to work overtime."
“It’s not easy.”
"yes."
After entering the room, putting down the luggage, and sitting on the sofa for a while, I heard the sound of boiling water. I looked up and saw Chen Nan turned around. Chen Nan smiled, took off his coat and put it in the closet, then walked to Yunyun and said, "Are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?"
Yunyun shook her head.
Chen Nan took a look and asked, "Then why don't you take your brother to play?" Chen Nan asked again.
"good."
Hearing this, Jiang You stood up and walked to the suitcase, took out a tablet game console from it, and took out some snacks from the shopping bag, and placed them all on the round table.
By the time he had connected the charging cables, Chen Nan had already sat down at the round table with Yunyun and Jiang Mo.
She watched Jiang You sit back on the sofa and said, "The water is boiling. Do you want tea or coffee?"
"Tea, please." Jiang You said.
"OK."
Jiang You was half lying on the sofa, reading a novel and drinking tea. He could see Chen Nan's ginger-yellow floral skirt by tilting his head. Chen Nan was watching a TV series with Yunyun on a tablet. Jiang You heard a few lines here and there, it seemed to be a fairy tale. There were also the sounds of buttons and game special effects, all these sounds merged together and sank into the room.
After an unknown amount of time , the doorbell rang. Jiang You stood up and walked to the door. When he opened it, it was Zhou Tao. Just as Jiang You was about to welcome him in, Zhou Tao said, "Shiqi is here. He's at Yuan Shu's place."
So Jiang You said hello to Chen Nan and followed Zhou Tao forward.
Yuan Shu's room was on the same floor. Walk forward about twenty minutes and turn a corner to get there. The door of the room was open and the sound of chatting could be faintly heard. Jiang You pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Zhao Shiqi at a glance. He seemed to be in a good mood and had gained a lot of weight since the last time he saw him.
"Jiang You is here?" Zhao Shiqi stood up and walked forward a few steps, looking around a few times, "Hey? Where's your son?"
"In the room." Jiang You said as he pulled out a chair and sat down.
Yuan Shu said: "He has a son and a daughter now, Shiqi, you have to have a second child to catch up."
Zhao Shiqi sat down and shook his head, saying, "No, no, one baby is enough. If I have another, I'll be dead."
Jiang You said: "I see you have gained weight?"
"That's right. When I first got pregnant, Qingsu had a strong reaction. She would only eat a few bites of anything and then stop. I had to be her trash can. At that time, I suspected that she had pica. She had to eat that kind of food... Anyway, I had never seen her eat that kind of food before," Zhao Shiqi complained, but there was a smile in his eyes. "Later, the morning sickness was over, and her appetite was good. She wanted to eat this and that at night, six meals a day. I was afraid that she would eat too much and it would be difficult for her to give birth, so I had to compete with her for food. That's how she got fat."
"Where are my sister-in-law and the children? Are they still at home?" Yuan Shu asked.
"Come over later. I'll come over to take a look. My father-in-law, mother-in-law, and parents are all surrounding my wife and children. I am the one on the edge, being scolded and bullied." Zhao Shiqi looked at Jiang You and asked, "Are you really going to be with that, the bookstore owner?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"It's a bit unexpected," Zhou Tao glanced at Jiang You, "If you think it's good, then that's good."
"The boss lady is a nice person," Yuan Shu said with a sigh, "I wanted you to meet Xiao Wei..."
"Alright, alright, stop showing off your affection. I'm here today to see my godson," Zhou Tao said, looking at Zhao Shiqi. He asked, "Have you chosen a name for my godson?"
"Get up early, Zhao Chengyu, Cheng means inheritance, Yu means universe."
Jiang You commented: "It's quite grand, what a good name?"
"My dad named it, and he even asked someone to calculate it. His nickname is Taro, and it was given by his mom," Zhao Shiqi smiled, "I don't have to think about anything."
At this time, Zhao Shiqi's cell phone rang. He picked it up and said a few words to the phone. Then Zhao Shiqi hung up the phone and said to Jiang You and the other two, "I'm going to go back. Dinner is in the Lotus Box on the fourth floor. You guys should go there around 5:30."
Jiang You and the other two said, " Okay , okay, go ahead and get busy."
After Zhao Shiqi left, Jiang You and the other two chatted for a long time. After five o'clock, Jiang You returned to his room. After tidying up a little, he went to the Lotus Hall on the fourth floor with Chen Nan and the two children.
There were five tables in the hall, half of which were already occupied. Jiang You brought Chen Nan and the two children to Zhang Qingsu.
Zhang Qingsu's face was a little swollen, and there was a dark blue tint under his eyes.
Jiang You took out the prepared red envelope and stuffed it into Qing Su's hand, "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard." He looked at the child in the stroller. The child was awake and seemed to be looking at him with his eyes open. He said, "This child has eyes like yours, and nose and eyebrows like Shiqi. He has selected your best features."
Qing Su smiled and said, "Thank you for coming here."
"It's just the right time for the holidays..." Jiang You just opened his mouth and little Yutou started crying. Qing Su reached out and picked up little Yutou.
"Are you hungry?" Zhao Shiqi asked.
Qing Su shook her head, "She had just been fed when she came out, and she didn't pee."
After coaxing him for a while, Xiao Yutou stopped crying. After he fell asleep, Qing Su put him back in the crib.
The guests gradually arrived, and Jiang You and the other three returned to their seats and sat down. They poured orange juice for Yunyun and yogurt for Jiang Mo.
Zhou Tao said with emotion: "Sister-in-law has changed a lot since she gave birth to a child. Do you still remember her two years ago?"
"Remember, Shiqi has changed a lot too," Jiang You poured himself a Coke, "so you have to hurry up, otherwise we won't have anything in common in the future."
