Chapter 117: Little Aunt 0117
Chapter 117
Song Anan and Pei Kuang were quite hands-on when it came to raising their child.
During Mu Mu's developmental years, they both placed great importance on accompanying him.
Although Song Anan's job seemed relatively stable, when it came to taking care of their child, Pei Kuang did far more than she did.
As a surgeon working three shifts, the nature of her job meant that sometimes when she got home, Mu Mu would already be asleep, not to mention overtime was a daily occurrence.
But from the time Song Anan became pregnant, Pei Kuang basically suspended all his work except for occasionally guest starring in some roles, and didn't start filming again until Mu Mu turned two.
In comparison, they both placed more emphasis on personal privacy, and weren't very keen on having other people in their home, so after Mu Mu turned one, the nanny who had been taking care of him transitioned to a part-time live-in role.
What does part-time live-in mean? It means that as long as either Song Anan or Pei Kuang was home that day, the nanny could take the day off and they would take care of Mu Mu themselves.
Although it was a bit tiring, the effect was obvious - after all, compared to a nanny, a parent's company gave a child more of a sense of security.
Plus, there were many things that children needed to learn through their parents' words and deeds.
One weekend, Pei Kuang was on location for a TV drama shoot, and Song Anan happened to be off, so she was home alone with their son that day.
But right after the mother and son pair woke up from their nap, Song Anan suddenly got an urgent call from the hospital saying there was an emergency meeting she had to get back for.
Since the nanny had the day off, it wasn't appropriate to call her back on such short notice, so she had no choice but to bring her son to the hospital with her.
After arriving at the hospital, Song Anan brought Mu Mu to the cardiothoracic surgery nurses' station and asked the nurses on duty to help keep an eye on him for a bit.
She left the desserts she'd brought next to them and said, "Sorry to trouble you, my family will come pick him up later."
The young nurses gleefully replied, "Don't worry Doctor Song, leave Mu Mu to us, you go ahead to your meeting!"
Song Anan smiled and thanked them again, then squatted down to tell Mu Mu, "Mommy has to go work, be good and listen to the nurse aunties, okay?"
Four-year-old little Mu Mu acted just like a little grown up, patting Song Anan on the shoulder and saying, "Don't worry Mom, go focus on work, I'll be fine on my own."
After that, he looked around the nurses' station and finally pointed to a corner and asked, "Nurse auntie, can I sit over there?"
The nurses were instantly charmed by Mu Mu's cuteness.
Awwww, Doctor Song's son is just too adorable!
Such a little guy, with delicate features and so well-behaved, who wouldn't dote on him?
Makes me want to effortlessly become a mom!
Seeing the group of nurses fawning over Mu Mu, asking him questions nonstop, Song Anan couldn't help covering her forehead.
It seemed that by comparison, Mu Mu was the most mature one.
But she was at ease leaving her son given his temperament, so as Mu Mu looked over, Song Anan gestured to him before leaving.
This wasn't Mu Mu's first time coming to his mom's workplace.
When his dad was home, he would often bring Mu Mu along to bring food for his mom, so he wasn't unfamiliar with this place.
The nurse aunties were really nice to him, always giving him lots of snacks he liked, so Mu Mu really liked them, but sometimes it was also troubling.
Like right now, the nurse aunties had given him lots more snacks, but his parents had limited his snack intake and he'd already reached the quota for today.
If he ate any more that would definitely be a no-go, even though Mom wasn't here, as a little man he had to keep his word and not go back on a promise.
Mu Mu clenched his little fists with determination and firmly said, "Thank you aunties, but I can't have any more snacks today, next time!"
Seeing the little guy like this, the nurses were even more endeared.
So young yet already so disciplined, he's just too amazing!
The head nurse saw her unmarried young nurses going on about how they wished they could have a child like Mu Mu, and jokingly scolded them, "You girls don't even have boyfriends yet you're dreaming about having kids, how bold!"
"Alright, stop crowding around here, get back to work!"
After joking around, those who should work still had to work, and they all scurried off again.
The head nurse came over to Mu Mu's side and smiled as she brought him over to the side, "Mu Mu, will you stay here and be good?"
Mu Mu obediently nodded, "Okay, thank you head nurse auntie."
Then he asked, "Auntie, can I draw here?"
The head nurse smiled, "Of course, do you need me to get you paper and pens?"
Mu Mu shook his head, "No need, I brought my own."
After saying so, he took out pens and a sketchbook from his little backpack, and sat down like a little adult to start drawing.
Seeing Mu Mu's well-behaved manner, the head nurse couldn't help a doting smile spreading across her face.
Ah, it really is someone else's child - not at all like her own little monkey at home, unable to sit still for even a minute.
Right then the head nurse didn't have anything else to do, so she lingered at the nurses' station for a bit.
It took her awhile before she suddenly recalled that Song Anan had said a family member would come pick up her child - who was that family member, could it be Pei Kuang?
The people in cardiothoracic surgery weren't unfamiliar with Pei Kuang, these past few years he had been a frequent visitor here, often coming to pick up Song Anan after work.
After finishing work, Song Anan did not go straight home, but went to Song Linchuan's house to pick up her son first.
In the past two years, they had changed houses. After having Mu Mu, they always felt that there was not enough space at home, so they bought another villa in a nearby villa area.
Song Linchuan also bought one in the villa area and moved in with Zhou Wei afterward.
So now the two families were still in the same villa area, with only two households between them.
When Song Anan came over, Song Linchuan, Zhou Wei and Mu Mu were playing games in the living room on the first floor.
Seeing his mother come, Mu Mu immediately let go of Song Linchuan's hand and ran over briskly, "Mom, Mu Mu has a sister now."
Song Anan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding, "Sister?"
Where did this sister come from?
Mu Mu nodded his little head like a chick pecking at rice, "Yeah yeah, sister."
Then he turned around and pointed to Zhou Wei behind him, "Sister-in-law has a sister in her belly."
This time Song Anan understood what he meant. She looked at Zhou Wei with delight, "Weiwei, you're pregnant?"
Zhou Wei smiled and nodded.
Song Anan asked again, "Did you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Zhou Wei smiled and said, "I did, the doctor said it's been four weeks and everything is very normal."
"That's great, that's really great." Song Anan was truly happy for them.
Come to think of it, they had been trying for almost two years without any news, and now they finally had it.
Song Linchuan also said with a smile, "We found out at noon today, and went to the hospital in the afternoon. When you called me in the afternoon, we were at your hospital getting checked."
Hearing this, Song Anan couldn't help frowning, "You went to our hospital, why didn't you let me know in advance? I could've helped find someone for you."
She had just assumed they got checked at another hospital, she didn't expect it was at their hospital.
Song Linchuan immediately pointed at Zhou Wei and complained, "Don't blame me, it was her who didn't want me to say anything, she was afraid it would affect you badly."
When they first discovered the pregnancy at noon, Song Linchuan's first reaction was to call Song Anan, but Zhou Wei stopped him, saying she was worried about causing trouble for her.
With no other choice, Song Linchuan could only have his assistant make an appointment first, before the two of them went over.
Song Anan held Zhou Wei's hand disapprovingly, "Weiwei, you thought too much. Our hospital has special care for family members of medical staff, it's hospital policy."
"What's more, we're family. What's all this about causing trouble or not? You're too courteous."
Song Linchuan immediately agreed, "That's right, she's my auntie, not someone else. What trouble could she possibly cause? We're all family."
Song Anan's words warmed Zhou Wei's heart. She smiled and responded, "Alright, Auntie, I won't do that again next time."
To tell the truth, Zhou Wei really liked Song Anan. Back when she wasn't with Song Linchuan yet, she already liked her very much.
Needless to say, after getting together with Song Linchuan, she liked her even more.
Zhou Wei had always felt that it was hard not to like Song Anan after spending time with her.
Song Anan also gave the couple some tips on caring during pregnancy.
But as she spoke, she suddenly asked, "Are you planning to go to our hospital for prenatal exams afterward?"
Song Linchuan replied, "We will. On the way back, Weiwei and I decided we'll deliver the baby at your hospital."
The affiliated hospital of B University was top notch nationwide, especially for large public hospitals where doctors could be trusted.
Song Anan nodded, "Good. The head of our obstetrics department is a senior classmate I'm on very good terms with. Let me give her a call later and refer her number to you."
Song Linchuan nodded repeatedly, "That's great, I feel much more assured now."
To be honest, this was their first child, and Zhou Wei was not exactly young anymore, so Song Linchuan was quite worried. On the drive home from the hospital, he had thought about asking Pei Kuang for advice.
After all, when his aunt was pregnant, that guy had gone all out.
Zhou Wei was courteous no more, and smiled in agreement.
The three chatted for a while longer, and Zhou Wei also laughingly told Song Anan about Mu Mu saying there was a sister in her belly, making her laugh nonstop.
"The last time he saw a little girl at the amusement park, he kept talking about wanting a sister when he came back. I didn't expect he still remembered it after so long," Song Anan said with a laugh.
Song Linchuan lightly knocked Mu Mu on the forehead, "I also think a sister is great."
Then he looked at Song Anan again and said, "They all say a niece takes after her auntie. My daughter will definitely be as cute as her auntie."
Hearing this, Zhou Wei's eyes also lit up.
She had seen many of Song Anan's childhood photos before, they were simply too adorable.
Song Anan paused for a moment, looking at the expectant gazes of the two, and couldn't help feeling confused: "A niece resembles her aunt, but in terms of seniority, I'm her grand aunt!"
Song Linchuan: "..."
You're right!!
