Chapter 168: Don’t Let Him Leave After Just One Day

Du Ximei hadn’t seen many newborn babies before. She huddled with Jiang Xiaochao, watching him and touching her own slightly pregnant belly.

“Godmother, why doesn’t my brother look like me? He’s not as handsome as me,” Jiang Xiaochao studied his brother for a long time.

“He might look like your father,” Du Ximei hesitated, looking at the little guy’s features carefully. She thought his eyebrows and eyes didn’t resemble Hu Yao much.

“Dad said he’s ugly, that means Dad is ugly too!” Jiang Xiaochao looked again.

Hu Yao chuckled, “Don’t let your father hear that.”

Otherwise, he’d beat him up again.

Jiang Han went to handle her hospital admission procedures. Although her delivery was smooth, her perineum was still torn and painful, so she had to stay for a few days.

The little drunkard Qiu Yarong was still leaning on Qiu Yingwen’s shoulder, drunk and oblivious to the arrival of her new playmate.

Hu Yao and the baby were doing well. After sitting for a while and checking on the child, she left with Du Ximei, promising to visit again tomorrow.

“Mom, are you still in pain?” Jiang Xiaochao asked for the fifth time.

“Mom is not in pain anymore,” Hu Yao shook her head with a smile.

Jiang Xiaochao still didn’t believe her, because he heard Hu Yao crying in pain.

“Dad thought Mom was going to die, he was so angry, he yelled at that aunt,” he told Hu Yao.

Hu Yao was slightly stunned. She heard noisy sounds outside during her delivery, but she was too preoccupied to pay attention.

“Mom is fine,” Hu Yao stroked his little head, knowing he was also very worried about her.

“This kid looks even dumber than Jiang Fuchao,” Jiang Han returned after paying the fees, holding the little thing in one hand and looking at him carefully.

This was the first time he held his son as a father.

“Where do you see him being dumb? His eyes haven’t even opened yet,” Hu Yao frowned at him.

“You said he can’t even open his eyes, isn’t that dumb?”

“…”

The child was just born, and he was already finding reasons to dislike him.

“Was I like this when I was a baby?” Jiang Xiaochao asked curiously.

Jiang Han glanced at him, “You weren’t. You could open your eyes right after birth, but you were still a fool!”

Jiang Xiaochao pouted, “I’m not a fool, I’m a stupid one.”

“Yeah, you’re amazing,” Jiang Han couldn’t help but mock him.

The little guy in his arms, except for the cry he let out when he was slapped on his butt after birth, had been sleeping all along. Their conversation didn’t affect him at all. He was still sleeping soundly, clutching his little fist, completely unaware of the bad words his own father said about him.

“Let me hold him,” Hu Yao gave him a playful look and stretched out her hand.

He held the child casually, but the child seemed quite comfortable. On the contrary, she was a bit cautious.

In the past, the only baby she had interacted with was her younger brother, Hu Yaoguo , but she was not very old then. Hu Guifen treated Hu Yaoguo like a precious gem, holding him in her arms and rarely letting go. She helped her neighbors’ wives and aunts look after their children, but she didn’t take care of such tiny babies.

The situation was different when she gave birth to Jiang Xiaochao. He wasn’t raised by her, so Hu Yao was still unfamiliar.

“Not tired? You were crying your heart out. Go to sleep quickly. He’s opening his mouth to ask for you to hold him?” Jiang Han slapped her hand.

A newborn baby would be strange if he could talk! Hu Yao looked up at him, her heart suddenly softened.

He was not exactly clean, even dirty, with her amniotic fluid and blood all over him, a mess. He also had the lingering smell of alcohol.

Despite his messy appearance, she couldn’t bring herself to dislike him. In fact, she felt warm inside.

Before holding the baby, he only washed his hands.

“Do you want to go home and take a shower? It will be more comfortable,” Hu Yao didn’t fight him for the baby, she said softly to him.

If she hadn’t just given birth and couldn’t shower, she would have wanted to wash herself too. She didn’t expect the baby to be born tonight. They were still eating roasted mutton an hour ago.

“You and Chaochao go back. It’s so close. I’m fine here,” seeing his reluctance, Hu Yao’s voice softened even more.

After all, he was too dirty. Jiang Han looked at her for a moment, nodded, stuffed the child into her arms, patted her head, and took Jiang Fuchao home.

He quickly washed up and changed clothes when he got home. The father and son returned immediately, less than twenty minutes, very fast.

“Mom, can I sleep with my brother today?” Jiang Xiaochao pulled his little shirt up and down, a little excited.

Jiang Han was willing to spend money. Hu Yao’s ward was only for her, with another bed inside.

“Your brother just came out. Don’t let him leave after just one day!” Jiang Han answered for Hu Yao.

“Don’t you know what a mess you sleep like? You want to flatten your brother into a pancake?”

“…”

“…Wait until your brother grows up a bit before you sleep with Chaochao, okay?” Hu Yao looked at his flattened little mouth and quickly comforted him.

“Okay,” Jiang Xiaochao disappointedly nodded his little head. He even brought his own little pillow, intending to share it with his brother.

The father and son went back home and brought back a lot of things, including clothes for Hu Yao to change and food.

Hu Yao wasn’t hungry, so she left it alone. Jiang Xiaochao kept grabbing and eating, even wanting to share some with his brother.

“Your brother can’t eat now,” Hu Yao watched them, a smile deepening in her eyes.

Jiang Han also brought some milk powder, but it wasn’t for Jiang Fuchao, it was for the newborn.

He didn’t realize it either, because Jiang Fuchao had always been drinking milk powder.

Only when he saw Hu Yao feeding the little guy milk did he realize.

While Jiang Fuchao was chattering and nibbling on the cake with Hu Yao, the baby who had been sleeping soundly woke up. He was hungry. Hu Yao, with the guidance of the nurse, clumsily fed him milk, her face turning slightly red.

It wasn’t so awkward after she got used to it.

“Brother drinks mama’s milk, not my milk.” Jiang Xiaochao told Jiang Han.

“Let him drink yours!” Jiang Han held his head, which was trying to look around, and glanced at her half-undressed clothes and the little one buried in her chest drinking milk. He didn’t really want him to drink Hu Yao’s milk either.

Jiang Fuzhao didn’t even drink her milk back then, why was this one being treated specially? He couldn’t spoil him!

“Brother doesn’t talk to me, he only sleeps.” Jiang Xiaochao let him pinch his little face, he didn’t move, his speech was slurred.

“You share some words with him, don’t say so much yourself.”

“How do I share?” Jiang Xiaochao wasn’t unwilling.

The two of them were having a strange conversation, Hu Yao noticed his gaze constantly sweeping over and landing on her chest, her cheeks flushed even more.

She already felt embarrassed, but this made her even more uncomfortable.

After feeding him, she quickly gathered her clothes and gently wiped the baby’s little mouth.

He was drowsy after drinking his fill, cute and soft, Hu Yao smiled and gently stroked his small hand.

“What are you going to name him?”
