In the morning, Gu Chengrui stayed in the house for the whole morning. After confirming that Zhou Ying was not in danger, he went to the kitchen to give some instructions. In the afternoon, he rushed to the manor.
After teaching Head Fang how to brew wine overnight, he rushed back the following day.
After dinner, he personally brought in a bowl of sesame oil and pork liver soup, together with a bowl of rice. âYou must be hungry. Hurry up and eat.â
âDid you follow the recipe for a delivery confinement meal?â Zhou Ying glanced at the things he had brought in.
âYes, itâs nutritious, and it can also help with your discharge. Itâs a good thing.â After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he wanted to feed her.
Zhou Ying smelled the fishy smell of the pig liver. She immediately frowned and said, âThis is too smelly. How can I eat it?â
âLetâs make do. Iâll cook it next time. Itâll definitely be nutritious and delicious.â
Zhou Ying tried to taste it, but she quickly spat it out. She pushed it away and said, âHurry up and make it then. I donât want to eat this. It tastes too bad.â
âAlright, Iâll make you a cup of brown sugar water first. Remember to drink it while itâs hot. Iâll make it again for you now.â After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he carried the food out.
However, although the food he made still smelled, it wasnât too bad. Zhou Ying had no choice but to pinch her nose and eat it.
Just as she put down his bowl, the baby woke up. âAlright, our little princess is awake.â
After saying that, Gu Chengrui carried her from the cradle and handed her over.
âDonât call her that,â Zhou Ying reminded him. âIt might cause a misunderstanding.â
Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment. He raised his hand and patted his mouth.
They were in a feudal dynasty, so he couldnât call their daughter that. He hesitated momentarily before saying, âLetâs call her Guoguo. Guo means fruit, and sheâs the fruit of our love. Itâs also the season of autumn harvest, where fruits are plentiful.â
âGuoguo. It sounds like a boyâs name,â Zhou Ying commented as she fed the baby.
âNeutral, not too masculine.â
âIâll follow you. Iâll leave her main name to you too.â
âAlright, put her to sleep after you feed her. I have to prepare to report the good news.â After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Then, he began to prepare invitations for their celebration.
However, because there were no elders on both sides, Gu Chengrui brought Mother Qju to give Guoguo a simple bath.
Therefore, the invitation was for Guoguoâs one-month-old birthday.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Through Gu Chengruiâs meticulous care, Zhou Ying clearly felt that her body was much better and her energy had also recovered.
Zhou Ying also resumed her work in her interspace at night.
Of course, Gu Chengrui would take care of the physical labor.
One morning, Zhou Ying had just finished a bowl of red bean soup when Shizhu walked in and reported, âMaster, Mistress, people from your hometown came. They said that they are from your father and uncleâs family.â
Gu Chengrui was surprised to hear that and figured out they might have come for the child. He quickly stood up and said, âHelp clean this place up. Iâll go and invite them personally.â
âYes, Master.â Shizhu nodded and tidied up the room as Zhou Ying changed into a set of clean clothes.
When they were almost done, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Yao, and Mrs. Yang each carried a bag and walked in. Zhou Ying saw this and wanted to get up.
âDonât move,â Mrs. Liu said hurriedly. âYou mustnât catch a cold at this time.â
âYeah, weâre not outsiders. Just sit there in peace.â Mrs. Yao echoed.
She walked over and sized her up. âYour little face is so rosy. It looks like youâve recovered quite well.â
âYeah, itâs mainly because of Chengruiâs herbal dishes.â Zhou Ying smiled and replied..
