Chapter 427: 420: Going Home

She couldn’t take it anymore, she desperately wanted to give birth now so she could play with her own son. As wonderful, beautiful, and cute as Chengcheng was, he wasn’t her son, after all. In the end, she would have to return him to his real family.

Tang Yuxin massaged her shoulder, she had been doing quite a few surgeries recently. The Dean of the Tao Family performed several surgeries daily. Not only the Dean, but she herself was also exhausted, wanting to just lie down on the ground and not get up. But the Dean never complained. He was indeed a very good and ethical doctor.

She was really fortunate to have chosen such a good mentor. From him, she learnt not just medical skills but also his way of handling things, which benefitted her immensely.

In half a year, she would be a senior. After that, she would have to start her internship and eventually start working. Now she actually wanted to pursue a postgraduate degree at Qing University. Before, she didn’t understand why Zhang Yong’an had to go to great lengths to pursue postgraduate studies. Learning really opens up one’s eyes and ears. Who wouldn’t want to learn more?

“Knock, knock…” She knocked on the door of her mentor’s house.

The door was quickly opened, and as soon as Mrs. Tao saw her, she hurriedly let her in. Entering the house, Tang Yuxin saw Chengcheng and Tao Family’s daughter-in-law snacking.

Who knew how Chengcheng’s little brain worked? He was offering snacks, continuously feeding them into his aunt’s mouth. The two of them, one big and one small, had become inseparable friends, not for any other reason, but purely because they were both foodies.

“Yuxin, you’re here, Mrs. Tao’s daughter-in-law is called Yao Miaomiao. She’s a teacher and absolutely adores children. She waved at Tang Yuxin, “Your little brother is so well-behaved and introduced me to so many delicious snacks. Why didn’t I notice these before?”

Tang Yuxin walked over and saw that the snack on the table was… puffed rice stars, Chengcheng’s favorite. He could eat several packets a day. It was his absolute favorite.

So the Tao Family’s daughter-in-law loved them too?

“Sissy…” As soon as Chengcheng saw his sister, he scrambled up and clung to her leg. It had been nearly a month and he had finally gained some weight. He was now chubby again, comparable to his previous size, and had returned to being Little Fatty. He was back to being a chubby little brother, adorable, white, and chubby, completely lovable.

Tang Yuxin pinched her little brother’s chubby face and stared at the Tao family’s daughter-in-law for quite some time.

Miaomiao, you have gained some weight recently, haven’t you?”

“Really?” Yao Miaomiao touched her own face, “I feel fine, I have not gained much. But I have been eating a lot, the food has been too delicious recently and I can’t help but eat.”

“How about…” her eyes shifted, “Could you take care of Chengcheng for me? He doesn’t picky eat here.”

“He needs to go to school,” Tang Yuxin lowered her head and saw her little brother’s face had grown even rounder. She was worried that when they returned home, even his mother would not recognize him, having grown so chubby all of a sudden.

Yao Miaomiao pouted, just like a little girl. But Tang Yuxin envied her. Being able to maintain such a childlike innocence proved just how happy she was. A man was treating her as a child, nurturing her, otherwise, how could she have retained such childlike innocence?@@novelbin@@

Life should have bent her spirit and made her grow up.

Just like herself, she had long lost the right to act like a spoiled child. She had to grow up, and strive to grow up so she could survive.

After staring at Yao Miaomiao for a while, Tang Yuxin thought that her recent weight gain was somewhat unreasonable.

“Miaomiao, lend me your wrist for a moment.”

She extended her hand to Yao Miaomiao.

Yao Miaomiao handed over her hand happily. Tang Yuxin was studying Western medicine but was also a good practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. This was something Yao Miaomiao was aware of. She always thought that traditional Chinese medicine was mysterious. If Tang Yuxin wanted to examine her, she would let her do so.

Tang Yuxin placed Yao Miaomiao’s hand on her own knee, then pressed two fingers on her pulse. Yao Miaomiao was still eating snacks, her mouth never stopped moving. And her face, which had gained more than a few pounds, was quite noticeable.

“Stop eating this kind of thing in the future,” Tang Yuxin took the snack from Yao Miaomiao’s hand, took one from the pack, popped it into her mouth, and then fed another one to Little Fatty Chengcheng.

Chengcheng’s eyes narrowed with happiness as he ate.

“Why? I really like eating this.” Yao Miaomiao reached out to grab the snacks in Tang Yuxin’s hand.

“You’re pregnant. Eating this is not good, it has too many additives.”

Tang Yuxin said very seriously, then took another one and feed it to her little brother.

With a clatter, Mrs. Tao dropped the food she had just served.

What? Her daughter-in-law was pregnant? She was going to be a grandmother! Quickly wiping her hands on her clothes, she didn’t care about anything else and immediately grabbed the phone on the table to call her husband and son. This was a big deal in the family; they were about to add a new member. Wasn’t that a big deal?

Meanwhile, Yao Miaomiao was still stunned.

“Are you serious?”

“I’m pregnant?” Touching her stomach, “I’m also going to have a Chengcheng.”

What is “a Chengcheng”? Tang Yuxin lowered her head, while Little Fatty wore a confused expression. His little mouth was stuffed full of snacks, his cheeks were bulging like a little squirrel’s.

He was well-behaved and oblivious to everything.

Not long after, Tang Yuxin exited the Tao’s residence, holding her little brother’s hand.

“Sissy, I haven’t finished eating yet,” Chengcheng was still thinking about his bag of snacks.

“All you know is eating, you’ve already gotten so chubby.” Tang Yuxin pinched his chubby face, worried that when they got home, even his mother would not recognize him. And why was this pair of eyesores- their family- hanging around at Tao’s house? Right now, they were celebrating the news of the impending addition to their family. There must be a lot to discuss. Their presence there might just blind everyone with their spotlight.

Chengcheng touched his chubby face and giggled at his sister.

Tang Yuxin bought tickets for the train back to Qing’an. This kid had been playing outside and enjoying himself for long enough. It was high time for him to return home and start being a student. He was almost four years old and hadn’t even finished kindergarten. If he didn’t do well academically in the future and turned out to be a dummy, she would lose face as his sister. People should not forget that she used to be the top scorer in the provincial college entrance exam for liberal arts.
