I'm back in 1990

Chapter 441: Golf Club

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Yu Wei's son, Yu Chengping, turned one month old.

Tangyuan, disheveled and filthy, burst into tears of joy. This was too damn miserable! This was no postpartum confinement; it was pure torture. The food was bland and tasteless, either fishy (fish soup) or oily (pork hock, chicken soup).

"Yu Wei, I want to eat ice cream, I want to get my hair permed, and I want to buy clothes." Tang Yuan was already planning her postpartum period.

Yu Wei glanced guiltily at the door, afraid his mother, Zheng Aiying, would hear him and give him a good scolding. Seeing no movement at the door, Yu Wei coaxed Tang Yuan, "We can wait a while before eating ice cream. Your hair is amazing. Wash it and dry it, it'll look good no matter what. A perm like a bird's nest wouldn't look good. We have to buy clothes, let's go on a shopping spree, buy whatever you want!"

Although not all the conditions were met, Yu Wei's attitude was very good, and Tang Yuan still happily kissed him.

"Hey, here's one as a reward!"

The couple was just about to get cozy and affectionate.

Just then, Yu Chengping started howling on his small bed.

Yu Wei was speechless. This little brat is at it again. Isn't he ruining his own father's plans?

Sure enough, Tang Yuan pushed him away: "Go check if our son has wet himself. He just ate, so he shouldn't be hungry right now."

Yu Wei went over and lifted the diaper. A strong smell of milk hit him, making him quickly cover his nose and run to the door to stick his head out to ask Zheng Aiying for help.

"Mom, Mom! Your grandson pooped!"

Wearing an apron and wiping her hands, Zheng Aiying complained, "He's a father now, and he still can't even change a diaper. What good is he?"

As they reached the room door, Zheng Aiying, with a stern face, shoved Yu Wei aside: "Get out of the way, don't block the doorway, you're getting in the way and tripping me up."

Upon seeing her beloved grandson, Zheng Aiying immediately put on a smiling face: "Pingping, you pooped again? That's great, you eat and poop a lot and grow fast. Come on, Grandma will wash Pingping's bottom and change his diaper."

Seeing this, Yu Wei pouted in dissatisfaction, inwardly complaining that his mother, Zheng Aiying, was fickle and easily bored.

"Yu Wei, go wash the diapers!" Zheng Aiying saw Yu Wei standing there dumbfounded, not knowing how to help, and she was so angry that she ordered him to wash the diapers.

Tang Yuan, with a helpless expression, secretly made a face at Yu Wei.

Yu Wei took the diaper, pinched it between two fingers with a look of disgust, and turned his head to the other side, wishing he could get as far away from the diaper as possible.

By the pond in the courtyard, Yu Wei was washing diapers while complaining, "Why use cloth diapers when disposable diapers are available? It's really something."

At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan brought Yu Xiang in from outside. Seeing Yu Wei washing things in the sink, he guessed that Yu Wei was washing diapers.

I teased him, "Wow, what a model dad! He deserves praise!"

Upon hearing the sound, Yu Wei looked up and greeted Yu Xiang, "Big sister, you're here. Come in quickly."

As for Huang Xiaochuan, Yu Wei ignored him completely, and given what Huang had just said, Yu Wei didn't want to pay him any attention.

After the couple entered the door, they greeted Lao Yu first.

"dad!"

"dad!"

Old Yu had heard the noise outside and knew that his eldest daughter and son-in-law had arrived. He stood up from the sofa early and waited for the young couple to come in.

Now that Lao Yu and Lao Huang have both retired, they've come to Shanghai with their wives. Life is really tough for single men these days; cooking, washing clothes, and a whole host of housework—things would be a mess without their wives at home.

"Xiao Chuan's here! Yu Xiang, slow down!"

Seeing Yu Xiang struggling to enter the house, Old Yu quickly went forward to help his eldest son-in-law help his eldest daughter sit on the sofa.

After sitting down, Yu Xiang asked, "Where's my mom?"

Old Yu pointed upstairs: "Your mother is upstairs. Pingping just pooped again, and your mother went to change his diaper."

Yu Xiang asked, "Is Pingping a month old today?"

Yes, it's a full moon today.

By this time, Yu Wei had already hung the diapers up to dry and walked into the living room.

"Xiao Chuan, give me your bag." Yu Xiang pointed to the bag on Huang Xiao Chuan's body.

These days, Huang Xiaochuan carries everything when they go out, so Yu Xiang's bag is naturally carried on his back as well.

Huang Xiaochuan handed the bag to Yu Xiang.

Yu Xiang took out a red envelope and a card from her bag and handed them to Yu Wei.

"The red envelope is for Pingping; it's a full-month gift from his aunt and uncle. This card is for Tangyuan. After her confinement period, you should go with her to buy some clothes and bags. Tangyuan has worked so hard; don't make her angry."

Yu Wei chuckled and accepted the red envelope and card from Yu Xiang: "Look at what you're saying, I'm already treating her like royalty, why would I want to upset her?"

"Where are the tangyuan?"

"Upstairs, I guess she's getting ready right now. She hasn't left the house in a month, and she says she's going crazy from boredom."

"I won't go up there, I get tired after just a few steps." Yu Xiang rubbed her stomach.

Lately, I don't know what's wrong with her. It's not even July yet, but Yu Xiang is sweating a lot. She just sat down for a short while, and she was covered in sweat again. Huang Xiaochuan took out a handkerchief to wipe Yu Xiang's sweat.

While Yu Xiang was wiping his sweat, Huang Xiaochuan started chatting with Lao Yu.

"Dad! What have you been busy with lately?"

Old Yu was very frustrated: "I'm so bored. I'll go out for a walk, but I can't understand what the people here are saying. I can't even find someone to play chess with."

Huang Xiaochuan laughed: "My dad's the same way. Can't you two just make plans to go out for a drive together? I'll arrange a car for you two."

Old Yu waved his hand dismissively: "There's nothing fun about it. Your dad and I are both getting on in years, and we don't like shopping. Let's just stay home!"

"You can go play ball!"

Old Yu was stunned for a moment. With these old arms and legs, he could play ball?

Huang Xiaochuan knew that his father-in-law didn't understand what he meant by "playing ball".

He explained, "It's not basketball, football, or table tennis; it's golf. You use a club to hit the ball into the hole. Because the holes are quite far apart, you have to take turns hitting them. You hit a ball and then walk around. It's quite suitable for you and Dad to play together, and it's good exercise."

Old Yu's interest was piqued: "Really?"

"Would I lie to you? How about I take you guys to check it out in the next couple of days, you can practice first, and if you like it, I'll arrange a car for you to take you to play ball."

"Is it quite far?"

"It's alright! It's near Dianshan Lake. The court is big, the environment is nice, and there are places to eat, rest, and shower. You can have lunch there, take a shower after playing, and then come back."

The place Huang Xiaochuan was referring to was a golf club in Shanghai. This club operates on a membership system, and a membership card costs 300,000 yuan. Huang Xiaochuan had one, but he didn't buy it. The golf club gave it to Nan Hui to leverage her celebrity status, since Nan Hui is now one of the top real estate developers in Shanghai and Shenzhen.

The club's promotional strategy in this way will attract many entrepreneurs to become members. It's rare to have the opportunity to meet these business tycoons normally, but by becoming a member of the golf club, they will have the chance to meet them. In essence, the golf club is a high-end business club.

But this sport is really good. Huang Xiaochuan thinks it's perfect for Lao Huang and Lao Yu, so they won't get bored at home.

I'll take them to try it out with my own card first. If they like it, I'll have Nan Hui get one for each of my dads and put some money in it. They can just use the card for meals and rest.

Hearing his son-in-law say this, Lao Yu was tempted. Moreover, with his in-law Lao Huang accompanying him, going out and getting some exercise would be better than staying at home. With this in mind, Lao Yu immediately decided to go with his son-in-law to see the place in person in the next couple of days.

After sitting for a while, Tang Yuan came downstairs.

"Big sister!"

Tang Yuan sat down next to Yu Xiang, took Yu Xiang's hand, and looked at his sister-in-law.

"Hey lady, how come your belly has gotten so big again in such a short time?"

Yu Wei interjected, "Of course there are two inside, how could they not be big!"

Tang Yuan glared at her: "Get out of the way, don't interrupt us women."

Yu Wei looked resentful, but he couldn't afford to offend either of the two women, so he simply called Huang Xiaochuan to go to the yard with him.

Old Yu didn't stay inside either, and went out into the yard. He planned to have a smoke. Now, the smoker has the lowest status in the house. Zheng Aiying doesn't allow him to smoke at home, not even in the toilet. If he wants to smoke, he has to go outside into the yard.

"I heard from my sister that you're planning to take her to Hong Kong to give birth?"

Huang Xiaochuan nodded: "To be honest, the medical conditions over there are still better. I feel tired just looking at your sister's belly. I plan to take her to Hong Kong as soon as I have a holiday, let alone give birth. They have everything there, and even a nanny to take care of the baby has been found. Your mother and my mother don't need to go. They can stay there for postpartum confinement and then come back."

"That's good too." Yu Wei expressed his support for Huang Xiaochuan's decision.
