NCCnovel Chapter 211 Welcome Ceremony
Chapter 211 Welcome Ceremony
After An Xiaoyue and Fu Shengyang got into the car, they went straight back to Fu Garden.
During the pregnancy, the couple agreed that after Xingyun was born, they would move to the more spacious Buzhichun.
A seven-seater van drove into Fu Garden and headed towards the unknown spring.
From afar, An Xiaoyue could see Grandpa Fu, Grandpa Leng, her parents, and her uncle's family of three standing at the entrance of Buzhichun.
All the family members are here waiting for Fu Shengyang, her, and Lucky to return.
The driver got out of the car to open the door for her, and Fu Shengyang got out of the car carrying the baby carrier.
"Grandpa, I'm back." An Xiaoyue was afraid that if she shook hands with one of them in turn, the other would feel uncomfortable, so she simply shook hands with both of her grandfathers at the same time.
Haha... She's so clever.
Fu Jinyun was overjoyed, tears welling up in her reddened eyes. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
“My Xiaoyue is the best.” Leng Shide said softly, his tone full of pride.
Fu Jinyun disagreed, emphasizing, "It's also my Xiaoyue. When Xiaoyue married Sheng Yang, she wasn't even yours yet."
“This…” Leng Shide’s face fell.
What Fu Jinyun said is true, and there's no way to refute it.
He glared at his youngest son, Leng Shize, but if it weren't for him, Xiaoyue would have grown up in the Leng family and been raised by him personally. Fu Jinyun's words would have been so hurtful.
If Xiaoyue had grown up in the Leng family, he could have been proud and smug when Fu Jinyun proposed to him on behalf of the Fu family.
Unfortunately, Leng Shize squandered this excellent opportunity.
He is angry.
The colder the air, the colder the gaze directed at his youngest son, Leng Shize.
Leng Shi could not possibly be unaware of his father's "disappointment in his son's lack of ambition."
He could only pretend not to know, touch his nose, and look away guiltily.
Fang Mei has gotten used to the bickering dynamic between her two elders, and she adheres to a "three no's" principle.
Silence, silence, ignorance!
Even if you hear it now, just pretend nothing happened and keep walking forward.
"Wow~"
An Xiaoyue, arm in arm with her two grandfathers, stood outside the gate of Buzhichun's courtyard, marveling at everything she saw before her.
"So beautiful!"
Unaware of spring, the corridor was surrounded by many flowers whose names she did not know.
A profusion of flowers, a scene of romance, each bloom vibrant and full of life.
Even more beautiful was the cake in the yard; she counted it—it had ten layers.
Each floor had a different theme, and besides "beautiful" and "good-looking," she was too excited to find any other adjectives to describe it.
The cake was surrounded by white flowers and light blue balloons, and a sign on one side read:
Welcome home, Xiaoyue and Lucky! You've worked so hard, little ones.
Giving birth to Lucky was something she was supposed to do, and she didn't find it difficult.
However, being so valued by her family and hearing them say "you've worked hard" made her feel that having a child wasn't just his responsibility.
What's important isn't the rituals, but that everyone knows about her sacrifices and responded to her collectively.
Since leaving the hospital, everything has gone smoothly for her, thanks to the careful arrangements made by Fu Shengyang and her family.
An Xiaoyue was deeply moved; her eyes reddened, her nose tingled, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.
"You can't cry during your postpartum period." Fang Mei was prepared and quickly pulled out a handkerchief to gently wipe away the tears that were about to roll down her cheeks.
An Xiaoyue was amused by her aunt's actions.
No matter what, Auntie is always so thoughtful and makes people smile. Fang Yi is just like Auntie in private.
"Now, Xiaoyue, please lead us towards a happy life," Fu Jinyun said, pointing to the ground to signal her to watch her step.
An Xiaoyue then realized that a thick red carpet stretched all the way from where she got out of the car to the main hall.
Although she was wearing comfortable shoes, the ground she stepped on from the moment she entered her home was soft.
An Xiaoyue pouted, trying her best to hold back her tears.
The feeling of being cared for by family is happiness everywhere.
She took the arms of her two grandfathers on either side, and strode forward, saying, "Let's walk together. In the future, we will live a healthy and peaceful life, a happy and fulfilling life, and may everything go smoothly for us."
"May you be healthy and safe."
"Happy and fulfilling".
May everything go smoothly for you.
An Xiaoyue led her grandfathers into the Unknown Spring, and the people following behind also called out Xiaoyue's wishes as they stepped into the Unknown Spring together.
"Xiaoyue, stand over there, let your brother take a picture of you." Leng Fangyi raised the camera hanging on his chest; taking pictures was his main task today.
He wanted to document the happy moments of his sister and nephew after they were discharged from the hospital. If his sister ever dared to upset him again, he would beat her up first, and then show her the photos and videos from today.
An Xiaoyue was wearing a white tracksuit, with a thin jacket over her body, making her look tall and slender.
After giving birth to Lucky, she seemed to have instantly returned to the thin and frail appearance she had before pregnancy.
An Xiaoyue stood in front of the flowers and balloons, with the elegant and romantic house of Buzhichun behind her.
Her smile seemed to bring everything about spring to life, flowing gently and peacefully through time.
A house is just a house, but with Xiaoyue, it becomes a home.
Fang Mei turned her head and said to An Jiaren beside her:
"Xiaoyue is so beautiful. She has your gentle sweetness and my wisdom and carefree spirit. Combined, they create a pure beauty that is serene and profound, especially her eyes."
No matter how many times Fang Mei looks at An Xiaoyue, she will have this feeling.
Xiaoyue's eyes were bright and clear, like the pristine spring water on the mountain that had never been polluted.
When she looks at you with a gentle smile, any evil thoughts or impure intentions will feel like a sin, and you will not dare to do anything reckless.
"Of course!" An Jiaren neither confirmed nor denied her daughter's beauty. "It was because I was sick that she wasted more than two years of her life."
Two years of illness nearly robbed her and Xiaoyue of all hope.
So now that her hardships have finally come to an end, all she wants is for her daughter to return to being the carefree and unrestrained person she used to be.
Hearing her words, Leng Shi felt extremely guilty. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, his tenderness overflowing.
"It's all my fault. I've explained the situation at home to my superiors, and I believe there will be a result soon."
He doesn't dwell on the past; in the first half of his life, he has already become an outstanding diplomat.
From now on, he will stay by Jiaren and Xiaoyue's side, and the three of them will live in the same city and see each other often.
"Mmm." An Jiaren tilted her head and leaned against Leng Shize's chest.
After taking individual photos of Leng Fang and Xiao Yue, everyone took a group photo together.
After cutting ten layers of cake and distributing them to the servants at Fu Garden, An Xiaoyue and Lucky's welcoming ceremony was finally over.
An Xiaoyue returned to the main room, the room that belonged to her and Fu Shengyang.
Lucky was taken back to the house on the east side by Sister Qiu, and Lucky lived there from then on.
Before taking a bath, An Xiaoyue lay on the sofa by the window, watching her mother and Cui Ma direct the servants, carrying buckets and basins in and out.
She was discharged from the hospital today and hadn't washed her hair for several days. The herbal medicine packets for shampooing and showering were already brewed in the kitchen early this morning.
"Don't take a long shower, and put on your bathrobe as soon as you're done. You can't afford to get even a little chilly," An Jiaren instructed.
There are many things to pay attention to during postpartum confinement, and An Jia was afraid that if she wasn't careful, her daughter would develop postpartum illnesses.
Postpartum illnesses are difficult to treat and can last a lifetime, unless you have a second child.
"The water for washing your hair is in a blue basin. After you finish showering, the temperature should be just right, and you won't even need shampoo. Grandpa added some Chinese medicine to help clean your hair. Just rinse it off with the warm water next to you after you're done."
"After washing your hair, use a shower cap to absorb the moisture, and then blow-dry it immediately before putting on a clean hat."
"Okay, Mom." An Xiaoyue's scalp was itchy, but the thought of her scalp's pores breathing freely after washing her hair made her feel refreshed.
If she has a second child in the future, she must plan the timing carefully and avoid having to rest and recuperate in July or August.
She felt stuffy when the central air conditioning was on, but when it wasn't, she was covered in sweat.
Fu Shengyang prepared a change of clothes for her and was the last to come out. "Xiaoyue, go wash up. I've closed all the windows, so no wind will come in."
"Finally, I can take a shower!" An Xiaoyue sat up and happily ran towards the bathroom.
