"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to be like this? Yelena is a foreigner, and her parents aren't here.
But what about Li Minxi? Would her father agree to you being together like this, without any clear commitment?"
"Mom, please don't worry about it. Things will work out in the end. When the time comes, there will be a solution."
"Yangzi, I've noticed you're becoming more of a scoundrel lately, flirting with everyone and bringing them home. I really don't know what's so great about you."
"Mom, why do you speak about your son like that? It just shows that your son is capable and likable."
"Just you brag." Wu Shangqing said hatefully, then quickly went back to look after her precious grandson.
Guo XuYang went to the outdoor smoking area to light a cigarette.
He also thought a lot.
His mother was right. Yelena didn't mind, Guo Yiyang didn't mind, Yezi didn't mind. This was because their parents weren't here, and they weren't Chinese, so they didn't have such strong views on marriage and relationships.
But Li Minxi was different.
Li Minxi's father was a powerful figure, and he would absolutely not allow his daughter to be with him in such an unclear way.
And what about Xiao Yun? Even if she was willing, what about her family?
Indeed, after he awakened, he knew that this Xiao Yun was his wife in his previous life.
But that was a past life.
This life, she had come together with him again, and she was willingly running around for him. Had she also awakened memories of her past life?
Once this thought came to him, he couldn't stop himself from wanting to find out if Xiao Yun had truly awakened her past life memories.
However, he still suppressed his curiosity.
Sometimes, giving people a little privacy was better than knowing everything.
Life was full of unknowns that needed to be explored.
If every day was the same, repeating yesterday's story for decades on end, such a life was not worth living.
He exhaled the last puff of smoke, extinguished the butt, and threw it into the trash can before turning back to the ward.
The baby was still sleeping. Yelena, perhaps due to having slept, was quite energetic and was chatting with the other people.
"Yelena, for the next few days, you cannot wash your hands or face with cold water, nor can you brush your teeth. Only use warm water to rinse your mouth.
And absolutely no bathing, and be careful not to catch a cold. Let me know immediately if you need anything. I'll stay with you for these few days..."
Wu Shangqing was constantly giving instructions.
"Mom, you don't need to be so tired. I'll contact a confinement nanny." Guo XuYang said.
"What confinement nanny? I don't trust a confinement nanny to take care of me.
I'm not so old that I can't move. I'll take care of Yelena for these few days.
However, for the diet, you need to find a master chef to prepare different styles of confinement meals for Yelena every day."
Wu Shangqing glared at Guo XuYang and said.
"No problem. I'll have Liu He arrange for a master chef to come and specifically prepare confinement meals. But we don't have a recipe book." Guo XuYang said.
"Are you stupid? What recipe book do you need? Just make whatever Yelena wants to eat.
As long as the nutrition is adequate, the milk is sufficient, and the baby isn't starved, that's all that matters," Li Minxi said from the side.
"You can't say that. Confinement meals aren't about making whatever Yelena wants.
Instead, they are about providing appropriate supplements based on her physical condition.
It's necessary to ensure sufficient milk supply for the baby to eat,
And also to help Yelena recover her health so that she can get out of bed sooner." Xiao Yun said from the side.
"Yelena's physical condition is so good, she should be able to get out of bed in a couple of days," Li Minxi said.
"You absolutely cannot get out of bed so early. If there's nothing wrong, it's better to lie in bed. This is conducive to recovery.
Getting out of bed too early is not good for recovery and can easily lead to various sequelae." Wu Shangqing said.
"Auntie, my body isn't that delicate. I can get out of bed now," Yelena said from her bed.
"That won't do. If you force yourself out of bed now, your joints will easily ache in the future, your stomach will easily get bigger, your uterus may prolapse, and also your marital life will be disharmonious." Wu Shangqing paused before the last point.
"You'd better stay in bed honestly and let Mom take care of you for a few days. You should be filial to Mom in the future," Guo XuYang said with a smile.
"You don't need to tell me, I will be filial to Auntie in the future too," Yelena said, looking at Guo XuYang.
"You're still calling her Auntie? Mom has been taking care of you, and you still call her Auntie?"
Guo XuYang looked at Wu Shangqing and said to Yelena.
"It's just hard to change immediately. I will definitely be filial to Mom in the future," Yelena said, looking at Wu Shangqing.
"Yelena, whether you call me Auntie or Mom, I consider you my daughter-in-law. It's okay, I don't mind."
"Mom, please don't say that. In my heart, I've already considered you my mother."
Yelena's eyes showed sincerity.
"You know, I came to this place from faraway Africa because of Yangzi's charm.
I am alone here, with no family. Your kindness and care make me feel warm.
Really, if my mother were still alive, she might not have taken as good care of me as you do."
"Yelena, from now on, you are the daughter-in-law of the Guo family, and I am your mother.
If Yangzi bullies you, tell me, and I'll be the first to not let him off."
"Mom, Yangzi treats me very well.
Really, I didn't think about any status when I got together with him. Being able to live with him makes me very happy.
What's more, he even brought me a little angel. I'm already grateful."
"Tell me, what exactly is so good about Yangzi that you are so devoted to him."
"If I were to talk about his good qualities, I can't pinpoint them. It's mainly that he has a charm that makes people unconsciously want to get close to him," Li Minxi said.
"Mom, did you hear that? Although your son isn't perfect, he does have personal charm." Guo XuYang said smugly.
"Just you be conceited." Wu Shangqing glared at him and said.
As they were talking, little Guo Yishun woke up. He rolled his eyes, parted his little mouth, and then kicked his legs and started crying.
"He either pooped or peed," Wu Shangqing said as she untied the baby's swaddling clothes.
Indeed, the little fellow had pooped a large amount of meconium, smearing his bottom and the swaddling clothes everywhere.
"Quick, quick, go get some warm water to wash the baby's bottom."
Wu Shangqing said as she used a wet wipe to clean the baby's bottom.
Xiao Yun brought a washbasin with half a basin of warm water.
Wu Shangqing tested it with her hand, then placed the baby into the washbasin and carefully washed him.
Ye Zi also went to get half a basin of warm water and brought it over.
Wu Shangqing washed the baby with the water Xiao Yun brought, then rinsed him again with the warm water Ye Zi brought, quickly dried him, put on a diaper, and wrapped him in a brand new swaddling cloth.
