The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 381 - 370: New Parents

Last night, Aunt Zhang stayed with her, and Jiang Nanzhou slept well on the floor below.

The next day, Aunt Zhang made her brown sugar rice wine egg drop soup with five poached eggs and a plate of greens.

Early in the morning, Jiang Nanzhou was washing diapers in the yard.

By around noon, the little aunt brought Big Sister Erping over.

Actually, with so many people in the house, they didn’t really need Big Sister Erping’s help.

However, the little aunt said it would be good for Sister Erping to familiarize herself with the baby’s routine, coming over every afternoon would suffice.

In the afternoon, the women finally managed to feed the baby its first bottle of milk.

The little one didn’t mind whether it was formula or breast milk; it liked both.

The little aunt said, "That’s good, not picky at all, easy to feed. You can’t do without a mosquito net in your room. Nanzhou, go buy a mosquito net tomorrow, and get one for Xiao Cheng too, babies are most vulnerable to mosquito bites."

Jiang Nanzhou quickly agreed, "Is there anything else needed?"

"Get some floral water and prickly heat powder if you have them."

Jiang Nanzhou made a note of each item.

Because there were many visitors during the day, Lu Jingqiu needed to rest properly, so the baby was placed on the first floor.

Whenever the baby needed feeding or anything, Jingqiu would just come downstairs.

That afternoon, Lu Jingqiu was pressed by the little aunt to go to sleep quickly.

She needed to breastfeed at night and could hardly get any good sleep.

If she didn’t sleep during the day, she would develop health issues.

The little aunt left without having dinner, but Niannian came over with some stuff.

"Here, I brought you some bananas. You can only eat bananas now. I just went downstairs to see the baby, and the old man and your little uncle were amusing the child, so adorable."

Lu Jingqiu laughed, "As long as there are no illnesses or disasters, it’s fine, oh dear, after ten months, it’s finally here. You’re on vacation, don’t you plan to go back to Yangcheng City?"

"Not yet, I’ll go back next month. They’re discussing land acquisition here."

"Did Comrade Shang find something out?"

"Yes, it’s government land. They are negotiating at the moment, but the land is quite expensive, too costly to buy."

"Ah, how much?"

"Over a million."

Lu Jingqiu was stunned, she had thought if Wei Jincheng couldn’t get it, she would ask her second cousin to buy it. But over a million was indeed too expensive to afford.

Although the second cousin had made some money, definitely not a million.

"Yeah, so we can only rent. Fifty thousand a year."

"That expensive?"

"Yes, much more than buying that suburban land before. Comrade Shang said that area is planned to be turned into a commercial zone."

"If it’s going to be a commercial zone, it will definitely be valuable in the future. If you manage to buy it, how much short are you?"

Xue Jianian laughed and gestured to her, "This is all we have."

Fifty thousand, Lu Jingqiu was shocked. That wasn’t just a little over.

"We still need to purchase machinery and hire workers."

"Oh, the rent is too expensive; there’s always a way. Why not consider partnerships? You could ask my second cousin."

"Wei Jincheng is asking around. Of course, we’re open to it. One person can’t handle it all, didn’t I tell you before? What have you considered? But such a big place and it being our first time in this line, Jincheng hasn’t done this before either. It might not go well at first, we could even make losses."

Lu Jingqiu smiled. If Wei Jincheng couldn’t make a business work, then there wouldn’t be many successful people in the world, "Of course I’ll invest. Investment comes with risks, and there are pros and cons, which I understand. Once you finish dealing with it, let me know how much starting capital you need and how much you want me to put in?"

"We haven’t secured the land yet, no rush. I also asked Xinyue today, and she said Shang Ze later on in the agency, isn’t allowed to. So he can’t invest."

"That’s true, they’re not cut out for this path. How is her Junjun, has he gained weight?"

"He has, completely transformed. In another two weeks, he’ll be out of the postpartum period. She can’t go out, so she’s anxious too. Hearing that you’ve given birth, she’s been eager to come over."

"It’s just a month, but even after the postpartum period babies are too young to go out."

"Yeah. However, they’re having the postpartum celebration in three days. What about you guys, when are you planning to have it?"

"Not sure yet, I’ll ask later."

Last night Yiyi came back for a bit, saying she was going to stay at Xiao Hua’s for a few days. She grabbed her stuff and followed Xiao Hua out. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Lu Jingqiu wondered, "Is the child feeling that our house is too crowded and not used to it?"

Jiang Nanzhou replied, "She’s scared of me, am I that scary?"

Lu Jingqiu looked her husband up and down and said, "Handsome men aren’t scary at all, maybe she can’t stand the oppressive aura you naturally have?"

"Do I have it?"

"You do, but I’m used to it. Honey, sleep with me tonight."

"Yeah, tonight I’ll watch the baby. You just sleep, and if the baby gets hungry I’ll feed him formula."

"I can nurse. I slept a lot during the day, so I can’t sleep at night. Honey, you worked hard washing the diapers today."

Jiang Nanzhou laughed, "If I don’t wash our son’s diapers, who will? Ah Mu glanced at them and nearly threw up. That kid just wait, when he has children, he won’t be able to escape this either."

Lu Jingqiu laughed, who knows about that.

At night, the couple lay in bed, with Lu Jingqiu asking about the preparations for the celebration.

Jiang Nanzhou said they would have it in a week when dad would come too.

"Niannian and the rest are waiting two weeks to have theirs. Does dad have vacation time?"

"For his daughter giving birth he’ll definitely find time to come over, and mom and Uncle Shen will come too. They’re all aligning with the elders’ schedules."

"It’s not easy for them to come here, you arrange it."

"Yeah. Tomorrow I’ll go to the department store. Do you want anything?"

"There’s nothing I want. Sweets and stuff, I can’t eat too much or I’ll get fat. I’ve even had Aunt Zhang help me prepare lighter meals. I haven’t eaten that many eggs either."

"You’re not fat at all."

"How am I not, my stomach has gotten bigger."

"Not at all, my wife is still so slim."

"You’re good at flattery."

"Don’t you like it?"

"I like it, I like it."

The couple had been apart for so long, and these past few days they were all about the baby. They rarely had the chance to snuggle up, having such brief moments alone together.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before the little guy woke up.

The two of them changed his diaper together and began feeding him.

That night, Jiang Nanzhou counted. They needed to get up five or six times.

He also worried that if it was like this every night, Jingqiu going to school during the day would definitely be impossible.

In the morning, he discussed with Aunt Zhang whether they should have Big Sister Erping stay overnight to help out.

Aunt Zhang laughed and said, "It’s normal for newborns to wake five or six times a night, sometimes even seven or eight. As they grow older, they wake up less. Once the child is a bit bigger it will get better, at most once or twice a night."

Jiang Nanzhou had thought it would always be like this, but hearing this reassured him.

After breakfast, Shen Mu went to work, Jiang Nanzhou rode his bike to the department store, leaving the old man and Aunt Zhang downstairs to watch the baby, while Lu Jingqiu felt refreshed and wandered between the first and second floors. She played with the baby for a bit, then went upstairs to fetch diapers and clothes. It was a lively scene at home.
