Chapter 320: A Family (Extra Update for National Day)

Who knew that Cherry would hear hurried footsteps just as she was about to open the door.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

The sound of the baby's voice was that of Tai Ge'er, so when she opened the door, she saw her own general holding the furry Tai Ge'er in his arms.

Shang Ji was wearing a silver cloak, while Tai Ge'er was wearing a red patterned coat and a cute felt hat, which made his little face look chubby.

Now he is almost eight months old, and he can be held in his arms, so he looks energetic.

The father and son are very similar, and now they look even more alike.

Cherry was stunned for a moment, and then immediately greeted and said.

"I greet the general and the young master."

"Is the young lady awake?"

"I woke up, and I just had half a bowl of porridge. I was just about to ask the young master to come over."

Shang Ji nodded, and then carried the child into the door.

The greenhouse was specially built after Mrs. Xing came back. Unexpectedly, it was really useful. As soon as she entered the door, the coldness dissipated at the door. When she entered the house again, it was much warmer.

When Du Jingyi saw the father and son coming in, he relaxed a lot.

"Tai Ge'er..."

Her shout made Tai Ge'er look over immediately, and stretched out his hand for a hug, which made Du Jingyi's nose sore.

Shang Ji pulled Tai Ge'er and whispered in his ear.

"Be gentle, your mother is still sick now."

Tai Ge'er didn't understand these words, but he could feel that his mother seemed different from before, so he, who was originally active and naughty, became much quieter after getting close to Du Jingyi.

The little hand touched Du Jingyi's face, and some giggles came out, which made the originally dull atmosphere warm all of a sudden.

"Brother Tai, Brother Tai..."

Du Jingyi wanted to hug the child, but her body didn't allow it, so Shang Ji had to hold the child in his arms and gently hold her hand.

Seeing this, Yingtao went out quietly, leaving the three of them some space.

Shang Ji sighed slightly and said.

"You scared me."

Du Jingyi also knew that she had gone to the gates of hell, but fortunately, God blessed her and the child, so she would not make trouble next time.

So she changed the subject and asked.

"General, have you arranged the ancestor worship?"

"Well, it's almost done. It will be scheduled for six days later. You should just stay in bed and rest. Yun Zhan and I will go. It will take at least half a day. You can't stand it with your body."

This was the first time Du Jingyi followed Shang Ji back to worship the ancestors, so she naturally wanted to attend.

But the reality does not allow it, and she will not hurt herself for this, so she nodded and agreed.

Then she took her son Tai Ge'er's hand and said.

"In the future, our Tai Ge'er will be the father-in-law of the Gu family. You have to grow up quickly to take care of the great-grandmother and the grandmothers, understand?"

How could a little child understand this? He just smiled happily as always. Every time he saw this, Du Jingyi felt that everything became much simpler and more comfortable, no matter how uncomfortable or difficult it was.

But Shang Ji was still worried about another thing in his heart.

Originally, they planned to leave in early February next year, but Du Jingyi could not move at all now, which meant that Tai Ge'er had to stay.

When he came, there was a whole family, but when he left, he was alone. Thinking about it, he felt lonely.

But now he didn't want to mention this matter in a bad mood and make his wife feel uncomfortable. If it affected his recovery, wouldn't he be even more sad?

So, he just talked to Du Jingyi about other happy things.

"You were sick, so my aunt didn't hold this welcoming banquet. She said we would do it when you get better. We still have some old friends in Jinling City, and they are all looking forward to meeting you and Brother Tai."

Shang Ji got married in Sui'an City.

He hurried to Cezhou that night and was gone for three years.

Therefore, he was supposed to bring his new wife to visit his grandmother's relatives, but it was delayed until now, so everyone was looking forward to it.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi deliberately teased him and said.

"Wouldn't that disappoint these old friends? They might still be thinking in their hearts why the general found a weak wife. She is so sick at such a young age."

"Then Madam, you must take good care of your health, just to let them see how you have brought prosperity to our Gu family. Since you entered the mansion, the sufferings of the Gu family have been reduced too much."

Shang Ji's words were not false at all.

Because Du Jingyi and Tai Ge'er brought new hope to the Gu family. Before that, the place was as quiet as a big ice cellar.

Now with her, Tai Ge'er, and the child in her belly, the ice cellar slowly melted, and now it is blooming with the warmth of spring. Even though it is already the coldest time of winter, everyone's heart is warm.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi was also moved.

The Gu family's care for her, from the old lady Gu to the bottom, is careful and serious.

For example, the furnishings of Qiwu Courtyard are roughly the same as those in Xitang Courtyard. It's not about the furnishings, but the feeling of relaxation.

Especially the red heart sandalwood plums in the yard outside the window, which made her feel comfortable even if she couldn't leave the yard while recuperating.

These are all made possible by the efforts of the aunts, so Du Jingyi is grateful.

The family of three had not sat and talked like this for a long time.

Yingtao came in to deliver medicine and then left.

It must be said that Doctor Tan is very good at treating patients and the medicine is simple.

Pills are much easier to take than bowls of medicine soup, so Du Jingyi did not resist at all.

Especially after thinking that the pills helped her keep the baby in her belly, she was even more grateful to Doctor Tan, and also to Dong Niang who came to see her two or three times a day.

After talking for about an hour, Du Jingyi's medicine took effect.

Shang Ji was so sleepy that he spoke out.

"I will send Tai Ge'er to his grandmother first, and then I will come back to accompany you. You just need to sleep well, understand?"

Du Jingyi held his son's hand, and he was reluctant to let him go.

But she also knew that only by recovering from the illness early could she spend more time with her son, so she had no choice but to nod and agree.

Tai Ge'er was carried away by his father obediently, and not long after the father and son left, Du Jingyi fell asleep.

Yingtao came in and stayed quietly in the room, doing some simple needlework in her hands, accompanying her young lady.
