Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1413: Boosting Daddy Skills, Finding the Traitor and Gift Giver (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
"Look, it's all here." Xiao Zhang took out a box and placed it in front of Fang Yan.

Fang Yan then saw the contents: bird's nest from Hong Kong, Korean ginseng from Southeast Asia, pure cotton baby clothing sets from Japan, and infant formula from Switzerland—all imported through foreign trade channels.

In addition, there is a pocket watch inside, with a simple blessing engraved on the dial.

Pocket watches are different from wristwatches. They are named for the fact that they are meant to be placed in a jacket pocket or vest pocket. They have a solid gold chain, with one end fixed to the pocket watch and the other end fastened to a clothing button or belt. They are smaller than regular pocket watches and are considered a branch of pocket watches.

"Is there a letter or something inside?" Fang Yan asked.

Xiao Zhang shook his head and said:
"No, it's very clean inside."

Fang Yan looked at these things, glanced around, and then said to Xiao Zhang and the others:

"Even if there's nothing wrong with these things, I didn't intend to keep them. You can take them with you."

Xiao Zhang nodded, saying that he definitely wouldn't want it for safety reasons if it were him.

Choosing a dialect is perfectly normal.

Then, Fang Yan told them his guesses about the gift-giver. After listening, Xiao Zhang said:
“We came here to continue looking for the person who gave the gift. The Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council wants us to investigate the matter thoroughly.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan immediately understood that it was Director Liao's intention.

He then recounted Zhu Lin's previous analysis to Xiao Zhang, and Xiao Zhang and the others felt that the analysis made relatively sense.

Then they went to find the nurse they had met before, intending to take her to the school to confirm her identity. After all, any professor at the school would have a file, and they wouldn't need to be there in person to recognize her.

As for the messenger mentioned in the local dialect, they believe that once the person is found, they can dig him out together.

Soon, Xiao Zhang and his group took the nurse away.

Along with that, there were also those gifts.

Back in the room, Fang Yan told Zhu Lin about it, and she also thought that Fang Yan's method was more reliable.

Fang Yan waited for news from Xiao Zhang and the others, but by 10 p.m., they still hadn't arrived, and even the nurse who had been called away earlier hadn't returned.

Based on dialect analysis, could this nurse be the one who delivered the message?

Moreover, Xiao Zhang and his team discovered other problems, so they haven't returned yet.

A while later, the police station called to tell them that the nurse from before wouldn't be coming back that night, saying she needed to cooperate with the investigation. Fang Yan became even more certain of her guess.

Then Fang Yan stopped waiting and went back to her room to sleep and rest. After having a child, sleeping was no longer the same as normal.

Because a newborn's stomach capacity is only about 30 to 60 milliliters, and breast milk stays in their stomach for about one and a half to two and a half hours, it empties very easily. Therefore, they need to be fed every two or three hours to avoid hunger.

So every two hours, the nurses on duty outside would come and wake Fang Yan and the others up to remind Zhu Lin to breastfeed the baby.

As soon as the time came, Fang Chengze started grabbing around with his little hands, twisting his body, and making soft humming and smacking noises.

Not only that, but after feeding, you also have to change diapers and soothe the baby.

The two of them were really exhausted after one night.

On the first night after giving birth, the Fang couple experienced what hardship truly meant.

The key issue is that Zhu Lin's milk production is still limited, so she can't stock up on it in advance. Fang Yan suddenly remembered the patient who hadn't been producing enough milk even five years after giving birth, and thought to herself, "I should have bought some and stocked up..."

However, the colostrum secreted by the mother on the first day after childbirth, although small in quantity, is extremely nutritious, so the couple has to endure it for the sake of the baby. Later, once the milk ducts are fully open, they should be able to start storing milk in advance.

The situation was similar at Lao Hu's house. Although they had prepared formula, they still tried their best to breastfeed their daughter if possible.

When the next morning arrived, both Fang Yan and Zhu Lin felt exhausted, but looking at their sleeping child, they felt it was all worth it.

Somewhat amusingly, that very night, with the help of the dialect system, he had already mastered skills such as holding a child, comforting a child, and changing a child's diaper.

She was as quick and efficient as a seasoned caregiver who had looked after hundreds of babies.

Under his father's care, little Fang Chengze rarely felt uncomfortable. Fang Yan knew what the little guy needed from just a gesture and made sure he was well taken care of. Compared to the crying and fussing of the girl at Old Hu's house next door, and the commotion caused by the nurses, Fang Yan's family was in stark contrast.

In the end, even Lao Hu realized that something was wrong with both sides and came to Fang Yan for advice.

After receiving guidance in dialect, Lao Hu made rapid progress, and the time his precious daughter spent crying was reduced considerably.

In the morning, Fang Yan urged Lao Hu to do his morning exercise, but he couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep again.

Fang Yan started practicing stances and boxing in the open space in front of the rehabilitation department. Soon after, Sophia and Zhao Zhengyi arrived. The two apprentices accompanied Fang Yan in his morning exercise. Later, the retired cadres who were recuperating here saw this and also came to exercise together.

Many of these elderly people have practiced martial arts; they've seen kung fu from all over the country and various dialects in this rehabilitation department this morning.

After a while, the staff from Yanjing Hotel came to deliver the postpartum meals. Fang Yan went back to the room to check on his wife and child who were sleeping soundly. Without waking them, he took his two apprentices to the cafeteria for breakfast and then went to see Director Liao for a check-up.

He also wanted to find out some information about last night.

“We found him yesterday. He’s a pharmacology professor at the university named Gu Xinmin.”

"Wang Zhenlin visited him before. The two are from the same hometown of Tianjin. When Wang Zhenlin left Beijing, he gave him some money and asked him to help him, saying that as soon as he heard that your child was born, he must send over the prepared gifts," Director Liao revealed to Fang Yan.

He asked in dialect:

"Didn't you ask any other questions?"

Director Liao shook his head:

"Not yet."

Fang Yan thought for a moment and then asked:
"What about the nurse who went with us to cooperate with the investigation yesterday?"

Director Liao said:
“She lied. Actually, she knows Gu Xinmin and even received five yuan from him. She was waiting for news of your childbirth so she could inform him. However, she didn’t want others to know that she made this money, so she didn’t tell you in the first place.”

"..." Five yuan?

I don't know what to say in the dialect anymore.

Director Liao said to Fang Yan:

"I've already discussed it with Dean Cui, and the nurse has been transferred to another department."

Fang Yan thought for a moment and said:
"Forget it, no need to adjust it. I'll arrange for Zhu Lin and the child to go home to live right away."

P.S.: I still owe you 15,000 words after finishing this chapter.
