Chapter 643: Living Separately
Lin Jiaojiao's birth this time was a natural birth, and the mother's recovery after the natural birth was very fast, and within a week, the hospital notified her that she could be discharged.
On the eve of discharge, in a small pavilion in the hospital, Lin Zhongda and Yan Xihua had an argument that lasted for nearly an hour.
After the argument, the couple calmly returned to the obstetric inpatient department, their daughter's room.
Yan Xihua walked in expressionlessly and gently picked up his infant granddaughter.
Lin Zhongda came to sit on the edge of her daughter's bed, at this time Julie was not there, Lin Jiaojiao on the hospital bed looked at her expressionless mother, and then looked at her father who barely squeezed out a little smile, she smiled slightly, and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with my mother?
Lin Zhongda shook his head, glanced at the other two pregnant women and their families in the same ward, pursed his lips, Lin Zhongda suddenly said: "Jiaojiao! I have discussed with your mother, after you are discharged from the hospital tomorrow, you should take the child and go home with us! It is not a matter for your mother and daughter to stay here, besides, you stay here alone with a child, and your mother and I can't feel at ease when we go back, so you and the child will go home with us tomorrow morning! Tomorrow morning, I will go out to charter a car, so that you and the child will not have to change all the way. ”
"This ......"
Lin Jiaojiao frowned slightly, looked at Yan Xihua, the mother who was holding the child expressionlessly, and shook her head with a smile, "Forget it! Dad, this is what you mean, right?
Actually, it's okay, I have friends here, I and the baby can stay here, so I and the baby still don't go back for the time being, my mother wants to save face, if I take the baby back like this, it will make her faceless, I can understand!"
"Jiaojiao! Don't worry about your mother's side, I've already convinced her, how can you stay here with your child? Even if your friend can take care of you a little bit, can she help you take care of the child every day? You will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, but you still have to go to confinement! You completely rely on your friend to serve you in confinement? You still have to help take care of the child? Does your friend not have to go to work? Huh?"
Lin Zhongda retorted in a deep voice.
Lin Jiaojiao frowned again, because she knew that what her father said was a very real problem.
Lin Zhongda saw that she was a little moved, so he patted the back of her hand that was placed outside the quilt, "Obedient! Come home with us tomorrow! Go home, your mother and I can help you take care of the child, your mother can also serve your confinement well, a woman's confinement is not a trivial matter, if the confinement is not good, you will suffer in the future." ”
"This ......"
Lin Jiaojiao glanced at Yan Xihua's face again, and still shook her head, "Forget it, Dad, I know you mean well, but I embarrassed you this time, I can't take the child and just go back with you......"
Before she finished speaking, Yan Xihua, who was holding the child not far away and had an expressionless face, suddenly said angrily: "What are you talking about? Who wants to listen to you? Your father told you to go home together tomorrow! Do you care if your mother has the face to see people? At this time, you know that you are embarrassed by the old lady? What are you talking about? Go home together tomorrow! That's it! A bunch of nonsense!"
Lin Zhongda turned around.
Lin Jiaojiao looked at her mother in surprise.
The father and daughter were both surprised, and then Lin Zhongda smiled and said to Lin Jiaojiao: "How is it? Now that your mother has spoken, you have nothing to say, right? Go back with us tomorrow?"
Lin Jiaojiao hesitated and nodded slightly.
……
On the other hand, Zhou An didn't receive any news about Lin Jiaojiao, he naturally didn't know that Lin Jiaojiao had a child, and he hadn't heard all the news about Lin Jiaojiao for a long time.
For him, Lin Jiaojiao is a regret in his heart, a mark of the past.
On weekdays, no one would have nothing to say in front of him.
Most of the time, he won't take the initiative to think about this person, only occasionally inadvertently remembering some bits and pieces of what he had with Lin Jiaojiao, he will miss this "drinking friend", and a lot of her beauty when she "drinks" will appear in his mind.
These are all good memories in his heart, but the conversation she had with him on the night she ended her relationship with him was a pain in his heart, and he always controlled himself not to remember.
On July 1, he and Shen Jinke, Tong Jinzhi, Tong Xue and Yao Jing jointly owned the Xinzhuang Flavor Garden.
The scene of the day was very lively, Shen Jinke invited two lion dancers from somewhere, adding a festive atmosphere to the opening of Xinzhuang Flavor Garden, by the way, the business hours of Xinzhuang Flavor Garden, continuing the business hours of Yuanzhuang Flavor Garden, including lunch and dinner.
Therefore, the official opening time is set for 10:30 a.m. on July 1.
The scorching sun was shining that day, and many relatives and friends from Shen Jinke, Tong Jinzhi, Tong Xue and Yao Jing came to cheer.
The flower baskets brought by these people are in front of the gate of Xinzhuang Flavor Garden, and two long queues are arranged.
Only Zhou An's side did not have any relatives and friends to congratulate him.
Cause?
First, his family's relatives and friends are basically not in Liugu City, only his third uncle Zhou Taiming is fooling around in the city.
Second, it is also because he has opened one branch after another, his relatives and friends have become accustomed to it, first the branch of Xinbai Commercial Street, and recently the branch of Longma Lane, and now he has partnered with others to make a new store on Xinbai Commercial Street, so frequently opening new stores, not to mention that he did not notify those relatives and friends, even if he notified, it is estimated that not many people will come to congratulate.
If he did notify, maybe some of those relatives and friends would come, but most of them should have brought the gifts through others, and people probably wouldn't come in person.
For Zhou An, if he just came to give a gift and didn't come to someone, then there was no need to notify.
Now he still cares about a little gift money from those relatives and friends?
He didn't value the gift money, but he knew that it was a pressure for some of his relatives who were not financially well-off.
So he simply didn't tell anyone.
Even so, at noon on the opening day, Shen Jinke and his relatives and friends who came to congratulate them still filled the hall and box of the huge Xinzhuang Flavor Garden, and there was no place for outside diners to eat at all.
On the opening day of Xinzhuang Flavor Garden, Zhou An first launched the membership system.
He intends to use this system to accumulate regular customers.
This membership system, just like the membership recharge of the Internet café, has a membership card, you can charge money into the membership card in advance, and every time you come to consume in the future, you can use the membership card to settle the bill, and according to the level of the membership card, the cardholder enjoys different discounts.
This system is slightly different from the meal coupons he promoted in several of his crayfish restaurants.
The meal coupons promoted by several of his crayfish restaurants are given by diners every time they check out, and the membership system is pre-recharged, which can be recharged at a time of 200, 500, and 1,000, and the maximum amount can be recharged at one time 10,000.
Whether this system is superior to the meal voucher system?
However, at noon on the opening day of Xinzhuang Flavor Garden, many relatives and friends of Shen Jinke and others applied for membership cards on the spot, with a total pre-charge amount of more than 100,000 yuan.
