Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife Chapter 1503 - 1504: I Want to See My Grandson Too

The Qi family welcomed a third-generation grandson, holding grand ceremonies to inform the ancestors and honor the Bodhisattva. As soon as the rites ended, Father Cheng made his appearance.

His daughter had delivered safely, with both mother and baby healthy. Father Cheng's face glowed with happiness. Smiling warmly, he greeted his in-laws, "Congratulations, my dear in-laws."

"Congratulations to both families," Father Qi responded, his grin stretching from ear to ear. "We've just wrapped up the worship and butchered a chicken at home. Jianguo was on his way to invite you for a feast!"

"Perfect timing for my unannounced visit!" Father Cheng chuckled loudly.

"Absolutely, let's raise a few glasses in celebration today."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

With the in-laws present, the Qi household bustled with preparations for a hearty welcome. Soon the table was laden, and they feasted on food and wine amid cheerful clamor.

After a couple of rounds, Father Cheng remarked, "During Susu's pregnancy, we kept around ten chickens at home, planning to deliver them after the birth. Mother Qi can't move easily now, and her mother is caring for her without returning. I figured we'd bring those chickens soon. Since we're heading there anyway, anything else you'd like us to deliver?"

"We've got some raised here too, and we'll select the plumpest ones to send along for sure," Mother Qi declared. "Our daughter-in-law has done us a great service by bearing a grandson; she must receive top-notch care. In my view, a chicken daily isn't excessive at all." Plenty of nourishment ensures ample milk for the little one!

Father Cheng's heart swelled with contentment upon hearing this, stirring a wave of generosity within him.

"When are you thinking of going? Why not join us? Managing all those chickens solo is tough!" Father Qi proposed.

"Great idea—let's head there together to visit the grandson. Word is he's thriving splendidly," Father Cheng agreed with delight.

Father Qi burst into laughter, "Both parents are good-looking, so the child must be a real charmer!"

"True, true!"

Mother Qi overheard from nearby, her heart aching with longing. She yearned desperately to behold her precious grandson, that marvelous little boy.

Yet gazing at her leg encased in plaster, frustration gnawed at her deeply. She longed for instant healing to stride freely once more.

The families settled on transporting the chickens in a few days, coinciding with Cheng Su's hospital discharge. Father Cheng departed afterward.

Unable to restrain herself, Mother Qi pleaded, "What if I tag along too?"

Father Qi eyed her plastered leg and replied, "How? You'd need carrying everywhere. It's impossible—don't stir up trouble. Wait till you're fully recovered to visit!"

Bitterness welled up in Mother Qi, "Couldn't you just bring me for a quick peek? Who knows how long it'll take for my leg to mend before I see my grandson again!"

For years she'd awaited a grandson, and now one arrived—yet she couldn't even glimpse him, like meat simmering nearby but forever out of reach!

Even fate seemed unjust, heaping this trial upon her.

"The boy isn't going anywhere. But if your leg worsens and snaps again, you'll regret it forever—want that? Stop fussing!" Father Qi firmly refused.

Mother Qi's bitterness deepened, tears glistening in her eyes.

She ached to see her grandson!

"Okay, okay. No tears on this happy occasion. Focus on mending that leg properly so you can cradle the boy yourself. Botch the recovery, and how will you hold him?" Father Qi coaxed.

Wiping her eyes, Mother Qi muttered, "Easy for you to say—you get to see him. You have no idea how this tortures me!"

Grumbling, Father Qi shot back, "Fine, I'll visit him multiple times and report every detail back to you, deal?"

Mother Qi shot him a glare but held her tongue, stewing silently over her useless leg.
