Chapter 73: Wait for Me to Return
Xifeng also followed, and she thought if Xie Jinghao was going to give birth, and Shen Meng would accompany her, then it’d be best if Xiao Gang didn’t go. A child going to the county hospital wouldn’t eat or sleep well and would need someone to take care of him; it was really inappropriate.
"Sister-in-law Meng, quickly gather some clothes for Jinghao, and bring the thermos, teacups, washbasin and such, oh, and also the things the child will need."
Xie Jinghao pointed to her cabinet, "In there, I was afraid I’d suddenly go into labor, so I prepared the things the child would need early on. I’m fine myself, just casually grab some things for me."
Shen Meng and Xifeng quickly helped pack things, packing them into bags or pockets while they did.
Xifeng tidied up the things and handed them to Shen Meng, then she reached out and held Xiao Gang in her arms.
"Xiao Gang, don’t be afraid. You follow Aunt to your elder aunt’s house where your brothers and sisters are. Play with them, your mom is going to give birth to your brother or sister. She’ll be back in a couple of days, and you just wait obediently at home."
"Xiao Gang, listen to what your Aunt says, just stay at home. Your dad and I will be back in a few days, okay!"
Xiao Gang didn’t want to be separated from her, as from childhood he had never left Xie Jinghao’s side. Initially, Liu Sanjin, using the excuse of Xie Jinghao’s second pregnancy, tried to take Xiao Gang to sleep in his own room, but Xiao Gang absolutely refused and cried into the middle of the night incessantly, exasperating Liu Sanjin to the point where he had to return the child to Xie Jinghao.
"No, no, I don’t want to go to elder aunt’s house, I want mom, I want mom, Mom, woo woo woo....."
Shen Meng, seeing his anxious and scared expression, simply held him back.
