Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

Zhou Nuannuan wiped away her tears and sat down next to Zhou Yanchen. Her eyes were glistening with tears, but she was smiling. "Third Brother, you will definitely stand up again."

After saying that, tears welled up again.

Zhou Yanchen reached out and wiped away her tears, sighing helplessly, "Alright, stop crying."

Zhou Nuannuan nodded repeatedly, choked out a "hmm," and tears fell to the ground as she moved. "I won't cry anymore, Third Brother. Just cooperate with Sister Yanyan. We all believe in Sister Yanyan."

Zhou Yan hummed in agreement.

Jin Aiyun smiled and said, "Alright, alright, let's go out first and let your third brother rest."

The third child prefers quiet and shouldn't be constantly making a ruckus around him.

After the group left, Jin Aiyun's smile disappeared, and she looked at Zhou Yanxing, "Go and find the gift list for me."

Zhou Yanxing: "Mom, I'm going right now."

A few minutes later, Zhou Yanxing came over with the gift list.

Jin Aiyun found Tang Wenlin's family's bill and asked Zhou Yanxing to write it down.

After confirming that there were no more gifts, Jin Aiyun put down the gift list and said, "Make me a list."

Zhou Yanxing took out a pen and paper and wrote on a piece of paper, "Mom, the total gift money is two hundred and sixteen, four quilts, five small quilts, ten sets of children's clothes, five pairs of silver bracelets, and five gold longevity locks."

The quilt was a gift from Tang Wenlin and his wife to the newlyweds when their eldest and second sons got married, and the other items were gifts for the baby's one-month celebration.

These gifts all went to the eldest and second eldest sons, and she definitely wouldn't let them return them.

But she was unwilling to make the quilt and waste time choosing bracelets and longevity locks, and she felt they were not worthy of it.

Jin Aiyun started calculating the approximate cost of these items.

According to market prices, a quilt costs 25 yuan, a small quilt costs 15 yuan, and the same amount of ration coupons are needed. A set of winter clothes for a child costs 9 yuan, and silver bracelets are priced at the highest, at 50 yuan for a pair, and longevity locks cost 80 yuan, totaling 1140 yuan.

Including the gift money, the total was 1356 yuan.

After lunch, Jin Aiyun took out 1,400 yuan and handed it to Zhou Yanxing, saying, "Send it to their house, just leave it there and go. Don't tell them anything."

Although I don't like their family, I will never take advantage of them.

These words were exactly what Zhou Yanxing thought.

After Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan left, Lu Yan was about to tell Jin Aiyun that the family was running out of food and that she would be going out to buy some in the afternoon when Jin Aiyun came over with money and food coupons.

"Xiao Lu, when Wang comes in, have him take you out to buy things. Also, we have to pay for the acupuncture you give Yan Chen."

Lu Yan didn't stand on ceremony, "Then let's go with Political Commissar Zhu's price range."

She doesn't know if she and Zhou Yanchen will be able to stay together in the end, so she can't let him get treatment for nothing.

"Okay, the cost of the medicinal mud also needs to be included. It's all in here. Subtract the treatment cost, and use the rest to buy things."

Lu Yan: "Auntie, you paid for the ingredients to make the medicinal paste for Mr. Zhou. This medicinal paste is for Mr. Zhou's exclusive use and cannot be sold to others, so I only plan to make two or three boxes. You don't need to give me any money."

You can't be too calculating in business; she's already made too much money from the Zhou family.

Jin Aiyun glared at her, "This is what you deserve, just take it. There's a lot going on in the army at the end of the year. Another batch of soldiers are retiring soon. At the end of the year, we have to take care of the soldiers' personal matters. Lao Zhou and I have to go to the army often. If there's anything urgent, just tell Wang Jin and have him go to the army to tell us."

Lu Yan nodded, "Okay."

I gave Zhou Yanchen acupuncture this morning, so he doesn't need a massage this afternoon.

The market wasn't far from here, so Lu Yan didn't wait for Wang Jin; she planned to ride her bicycle there.

Lu Yan led Lu Yaguang to Zhou Yanchen's bedroom. "Mr. Zhou, could you please watch the child for me?"

Lu Yaguang blinked at Zhou Yanchen, his eyes secretly glancing at the airplane on the table. "Handsome uncle, can I play with your airplane again?"

Lu Yan: "Ya Guang, you're not allowed to keep playing with Uncle's airplane. If you do this again, you won't be allowed to play with Uncle next time."

Lu Yaguang hung his head and said, "Fine, then I'm not playing anymore."

Zhou Yanchen pursed his lips, stretched out his long arm and took the airplane from him, "Go play with it."

Lu Yaguang's eyes lit up immediately, and he hugged the bag to his chest, saying, "Thank you, handsome uncle."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be forcing her, Lu Yan let him be.

"Mr. Zhou, then I'll leave my son in your care. I'll buy you both some Zhen'er cake when I get back."

Lu Yaguang jumped up, "Mom, I want to eat candied hawthorns too!"

Lu Yan rubbed his head. "Okay."

Lu Yan tilted her head and looked at Zhou Yanchen. "Mr. Zhou, what would you like to eat?"

Zhou Yanchen didn't look at her, and said in a flat voice, "I don't really want to eat anything."

Lu Yan said "Oh," and then she left.

Only after confirming that Lu Yan had turned around did Zhou Yanchen look at her.

As if on cue, Lu Yan suddenly turned around and met Zhou Yan's deep and affectionate gaze.

Zhou Yanchen didn't expect Lu Yan to suddenly turn around, and before he could look away, his eyes met hers.

Lu Yan suppressed a laugh and waved to him, "Mr. Zhou, please don't miss me. I'll be back after I finish shopping."

Zhou Yanchen's breathing became heavier. He wanted to deny it, but when he met her smiling gaze, he ultimately didn't say anything.

Lu Yan was very satisfied with Zhou Yanchen's reaction and stopped teasing him. "I'm really leaving this time. You two have a good time."

This time, Lu Yan wasn't lying; she really left.

Lu Yaguang: "Handsome uncle, Mom will be back soon, let's not miss her."

Zhou Yanchen looked at Lu Yaguang.

He had never been very patient with children since he was a child, but for some reason, he didn't feel that way about the little boy in front of him. He even felt a sense of familiarity with him.

Perhaps this is what they mean by "love me, love my dog".

Do you want to study?

Lu Yaguang blinked and pointed to a pile of books on the bookshelf next to him, "Handsome uncle, are those the ones up there?"

"If you don't understand those things, you can start by learning math."

Lu Yaguang responded with an "Oh," and said, "I know math; my godfather often taught me."

Zhou Yanchen: "What did he teach you?"

Lu Yaguang placed the toy plane on Zhou Yanchen's lap and began counting on his fingers. "My godfather taught me to count and recognize words. Now I can count from 1 to 100. I can also do addition and subtraction."

Zhou Yanchen was somewhat surprised.

Seeing that Zhou Yanchen didn't believe him, Lu Yaguang patted his chest, "Handsome uncle, test me!"

Zhou Yanchen was amused by him. "Okay, then let me ask you. I'll give you five yuan. You spent two yuan on meat and one yuan on vegetables. How much money do you have left when you get home?"

Lu Yaguang's face fell instantly.

Zhou Yanchen smiled and asked, "Do you need some paper and pen to calculate it?"

Lu Yaguang was stunned for a moment, but quickly began to think, "Handsome uncle, let me calculate."
