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. “You must be hungry. Hurry up and eat.”
“Did you follow the recipe for a delivery confinement meal?” Zhou Ying glanced at the things he had brought in.
“Yes, it’s nutritious, and it can also help with your discharge. It’s a good thing.” 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, “This is too smelly. How can I eat it?”
“Let’s make do. I’ll cook it next time. It’ll definitely be nutritious and delicious.”
Zhou Ying tried to taste it, but she quickly spat it out. She pushed it away and said, “Hurry up and make it then. I don’t want to eat this. It tastes too bad.”
“Alright, I’ll make you a cup of brown sugar water first. Remember to drink it while it’s hot. I’ll make it again for you now.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he carried the food out.
However, although the food he made still smelled, it wasn’t 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. “Alright, our little princess is awake.”
After saying that, Gu Chengrui carried her from the cradle and handed her over.
“Don’t call her that,” Zhou Ying reminded him. “It might cause a misunderstanding.”
Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment. He raised his hand and patted his mouth.
They were in a feudal dynasty, so he couldn’t call their daughter that. He hesitated momentarily before saying, “Let’s call her Guoguo. Guo means fruit, and she’s the fruit of our love. It’s also the season of autumn harvest, where fruits are plentiful.”
“Guoguo. It sounds like a boy’s name,” Zhou Ying commented as she fed the baby.
“Neutral, not too masculine.”
“I’ll follow you. I’ll leave her main name to you too.”
“Alright, put her to sleep after you feed her. I have to prepare to report the good news.” 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 Guoguo’s one-month-old birthday.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Through Gu Chengrui’s 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, “Master, Mistress, people from your hometown came. They said that they are from your father and uncle’s family.”
Gu Chengrui was surprised to hear that and figured out they might have come for the child. He quickly stood up and said, “Help clean this place up. I’ll go and invite them personally.”
“Yes, Master.” 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.
“Don’t move,” Mrs. Liu said hurriedly. “You mustn’t catch a cold at this time.”
“Yeah, we’re not outsiders. Just sit there in peace.” Mrs. Yao echoed.
She walked over and sized her up. “Your little face is so rosy. It looks like you’ve recovered quite well.”
“Yeah, it’s mainly because of Chengrui’s herbal dishes.” Zhou Ying smiled and replied..
