Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 955 - 777: New Objective_2

"After the New Year, Xiao Wan will only be eight months pregnant, so driving back won’t be a problem. It’s a bit far from here. If Xiao Yi is unable to leave the military due to work, she’ll be there with just her godmother, and if anything happens, there won’t be anyone to discuss things with. Z City is quite a distance from here, and her mom’s visit would be inconvenient. S City is even farther, it would be inconvenient for her mother-in-law to come. Don’t you agree? I think after the New Year, they should hurry back to prepare for delivery. Once the postpartum month is over, if you two elders want to see the baby, let them bring the child over." Lin Guozhi spoke cleverly, leaving the Mei family without words.

The people present heard and knew it was a refusal. Mr. Mei quickly gave his wife a look.

He then turned to Lin Guozhi with a smile, "It doesn’t matter where the baby is born, ultimately it depends on the couple. We think Kyoto Hospital is generally more advanced than Z City’s. But having said that, you have a lot of family in Z City, so you wouldn’t be short of people to help."

"Z City’s hospitals are no worse than Kyoto’s, Uncle Mei, rest assured," Lin Guozhi replied with a smile.

Mei Shuping quickly switched topics, introducing their private stash of tea leaves.

Mei Shuqing, however, hadn’t said a word since he arrived. This matter was originally meant to happen in Z City.

His parents just wanted to be near the child, and they couldn’t let Lin Wan stay alone in Kyoto. Besides, Ai Yi probably wouldn’t agree in the first place.

The matter of where Lin Wan would give birth wasn’t discussed further. Lin Guozhi had a meal at the Mei family home and then went directly with Xiao Wan to their courtyard home.

It was peculiar today; Chen Haichang had said he would come over, yet even after the meal ended, he hadn’t shown up.

Originally, she thought her godfather and godmother would take her father to visit their home after dinner, but it didn’t happen.

It wasn’t until the way back that her father told her he and godfather had met every day in the military recently, and already talked about everything they needed. Now he just wanted to see their home in Kyoto.

"Dad, are you really leaving?" Lin Wan asked.

"Yes, I’ll be leaving tomorrow. Shao Li and Xiao Zhang are waiting for me. Xiao Zhang has a vacation this year; I can’t delay his leave," Lin Guozhi said with a smile.

The military doesn’t often allow leave, so it should not be my fault that delays someone else’s family visit time.

The house only had one quilt, and it was late, Lin Wan wanted her father to stay at home, but alas, there was no quilt.

So after visiting their courtyard, Lin Guozhi directly asked Han Yi to send him back to the military district.

Her father left the next day, and Han Yi was still finishing his post-work tasks at the military base, so he was also headed there the following day.

It left her and Little Star at home. With plenty of firewood, Lin Wan bought cotton and quilt covers outside, keeping the stove fiercely burning at home. She made two quilts in a row and even made Little Star a set of cotton clothes and pants.

These past couple of days, Chen Haichang hadn’t come to visit, the front door was tightly locked from the outside, no idea where he had gone.

But Ye Qing. These past two days, has been circling around her house, thinking she was being discreet, unaware she was already being noticed.

Lin Wan knew she was up to no good again, her first concern was the baby in her belly.

During her previous pregnancy with Little Star, this kind of incident had occurred before, and now it seemed to be happening again, clearly wanting to use the same tactic.

Lin Wan wouldn’t be foolish enough to let her push her again.

She was outside, and I am inside; rather than Ye Qing monitoring her, it was more like I was monitoring Ye Qing. Lin Wan deliberately poured several basins of cold water where Ye Qing often hid at night. By the next morning, it had turned into ice. Such a slippery spot would ensure, if she didn’t break a leg, she’d at least be sore all over.

"Mommy, why does Huahua’s mom always watch us?" Little Star asked curiously.

"She wants Little Brother to come out early. Look, Little Brother isn’t fully grown yet, he can’t come out early. Huahua’s mom wants mommy to fall. If mommy falls, the little brother in the belly will get hurt."

"Wow, Huahua’s mom is so bad, Little Brother didn’t do anything to her, why does she want to harm you and Little Brother?" Little Star frowned and snorted.

"Huahua’s mom doesn’t want mommy to give birth to a little brother. Okay, let’s not worry about her. We have food at home, and we won’t go out these days. Let her freeze outside."

"Okay, I’ll stay with mommy." Little Star obediently held Lin Wan’s hand.

...

"She’s been staying home these days, not going out at all. I’ve been watching her for days, no options left."

"Aren’t you usually full of ideas? Why are you so clueless this time?"

Ye Qing felt a punch to the gut when Mei Langchi said this; she wanted to find people, but few lived in that alley, mostly elderly. Ye Qing found two, but they refused to engage in such harmful schemes, one old lady even nearly dragged her to the police station upon hearing her plan.

So after considering, she could only guard a few days herself.

Mei Langchi’s comment sparked an idea in Ye Qing, who bought some supplements and went to the old residence early the next day.

It was fortunate Chen Haichang was also there today. Moreover, he brought some ginseng and bird nests for Mr. Mei.

The sun must have risen from the west today, there must be an issue here.

Ye Qing thought to herself but dared not tell Old Mrs. Mei, a sentiment she shared as Old Mrs. Mei seemed uninterested in what Chen Haichang gifted.

"These supplements I specifically arranged in recent days are for elderly people, the best for your health. See, those silkies outside too. I plan to slaughter one today for lunch, let’s have a taste. Aunt Wu, please handle one." Chen Haichang sat aside, glaring at Old Mrs. Mei not allowing rejection.

"If you want to eat, eat it yourself. We wouldn’t dare eat your stuff. My eldest yesterday prepared a huge jar of medicinal liquor, far more effective than your chicken and ginseng. You take it back and eat it yourself." Old Mrs. Mei was blunt to Chen Haichang.
