When Ji Ziâang asked this, Liang Huimeiâs expression became a little uncomfortable.
She lowered her head to look at Li Xu and Liu Guihuaâs expressions.
Li Lei did not notice his Mother-in-lawâs abnormality and said happily, âItâs a little girl. Sheâs in the nursery now. The nurse will bring her over later.â
When Li Lei spoke, Liu Guihua and Li Xu both had smiles on their faces.
Liang Huimei heaved a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that the Li family favored boys over girls and would be unhappy to see a granddaughter.
Fortunately, it seemed that the Li family didnât have any complaints about Xiaoning because of this.
Ji Ziâang could not wait any longer and went up to hold Li Leiâs hand. âEldest Uncle, take me to see it now. I want to see it now!â
Seeing this, Li Lei hesitated.
To be honest, Ji Ziâang was not the only one who wanted to see it. He wanted to see it too.
Meng Xiaoning saw Li Leiâs dilemma and said with a smile, âGo and take a look. Thereâs no need to crowd around me. Just go and take a look!â
Li Lei held Ji Ziâangâs hand and happily said, âLetâs go. Uncle will take you to see your sister!â
Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan also followed closely behind.
Even Li Xu and Liu Guihua couldnât help but want to take a look.
Meng Xiaoning saw that the two of them were restless and took the initiative to say, âMother, Big Sister, you can go if you want to. I have my mother here.â
Liu Guihua smiled cmbarrasscdly and stood up. âAlright, Iâll go take a look then. Iâll be back soon.â
Li Xu and Liu Guihua had left. Zhang Kun was also embarrassed here, so he could only follow.
Liang Huimei and Meng Xiaoning were the only ones left in the ward.
Liang Huimei moved closer to Meng Xiaoningâs ear and whispered, âI think theyâre all very happy. I just donât know what your Father-in-law is thinking.â
Meng Xiaoning knew what her mother meant and immediately retorted, âMy in-laws arenât that kind of people. Otherwise, why would they send my Sister-in-law to college?â
In the past, when their family was poor, they insisted on letting her study in high school.
If it were a family that valued boys over girls, they would not do such a thing.
She had given birth to a daughter. Even if her in-laws were a little disappointed, they would definitely not show her any face. They also loved their granddaughter as much as they did.
Meng Xiaoning was well aware of this.
Liang Huimei said. âItâs good that the first child is a girl. You can have a second child.â
They were both from the countryside. The government could still consent to a second child if the first child were a girl. However, there would be no second child if the first child were a boy.
Meng Xiaoning frowned and said in an unpleasant tone, âCan you not say such things now?â
Liang Huimei saw that her daughter was unhappy and quickly changed the topic. She picked up the chicken soup beside her and said, âHave some chicken soup. Look at how well itâs stewed. Look at its colorâ¦.â
Soon, Li Lei arrived at the nursery with a group of people.
There were many children in the nursery. Li Lei pointed at one of them and said, âThat, thatâs the Little Sister!â
Ji Ziâang leaned on the glass and tiptoed to look inside.
Seeing how much effort he was putting in, Zhang Kun reached out and carried him up.
This time, he finally saw it clearly.
However, he looked disappointed. âEldest Uncle, are you sure thatâs Younger Sister? Why is she so ugly?â
Li Lei could not help but knock Ji Ziâangâs head. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Sheâs so beautiful!â
Ji Ziâang touched his head, thinking his uncle must have bad eyesight.
âSheâs obviously very ugly!â He mumbled.
âShe just came out, and her feature hasnât opened yet! When you were born, you were even uglier than Little Sister, right, Mom?â Ji Yuanyuan spoke up for her Little Sister.
Li Xu nodded. âItâs almost the same!â
Ji Ziâang looked at Ji Yuanyuan and scratched his head in surprise. âIâm older than you, and you werenât even born when I was born. How do you know that Iâm uglier than a Little Sister?â
Ji Yuanyuan, who had been caught for a mistake, blinked and asked for help. âMom, was Second Brother very ugly when he was born?â
Li Xu explained patiently. âAll newborn children are basically like this. Look at the other children. Theyâre all like this too, right?â
Ji Ziâang looked at the other children in the nursery.
As expected, the other children were the same.
It was red and wrinkly.
Ji Ziâang smacked his lips and sighed in disappointment.
After all, Meng Xiaoning was young and had a natural birth. By the third day, he had almost recovered.
Li Lei went through the discharge procedures, found a taxi, and took Meng Xiaoning home.
The entire family doted on this child very much.
During Meng Xiaoningâs confinement period, besides feeding her milk, she was not allowed to do anything about the child.
A newly born child would change almost every day.
By the time Ji Ziâang returned to his grandmotherâs house on the weekend, the little sister had already turned from red and wrinkled to fair and tender.
Ji Ziâang lay on the brick bed and stared at it without moving.
Li Lei still held a grudge! He still remembered how he said his daughter was ugly.
He immediately reached out to block her daughterâs face and asked Ji Ziâang, âHow is it? Is Younger Sister still ugly?â
Ji Ziâang anxiously pried Li Leiâs hand away. âNot ugly, not ugly, not ugly at all.â
Li Lei was still not satisfied and asked again, âWhat do you mean by not ugly? Is she pretty?â
âYes, yes!â Ji Ziâang nodded hurriedly. âSheâs beautiful! Sheâll definitely be prettier than Yuanyuan in the future!â
Li Lei retracted his hand in satisfaction, and Ji Ziâang looked at the young lady with interest.
It looked around with its big eyes, and its mouth kept moving, making a humming sound.
Her hands were so small, but they seemed quite strong as she waved them in the air.
Ji Ziâang curiously put his index finger into the young ladyâs hand.
The little girl clenched her fists.
Ji Ziâangâs eyes widened.
Li Xu and Meng Xiaoning were chatting beside them.
âHave you given the child a name yet?â
Speaking of this, Meng Xiaoning found it a little funny. âNo, her father has been flipping through the dictionary for half a month. He said that none of the words were good enough for his daughter and that he needed to give her a special name!â
When she was pregnant, they didnât know the gender, so they didnât name her in advance.
On the other hand, the parents of both parties had thought of a few backup plans.
After the child was born, Li Lei cherished it very much. He crossed out all the names that both parents had thought of.
He felt that the names they had chosen were too tacky.
He was determined to give his daughter a different name.
In the end, he didnât know anything. He flipped through the dictionary for half a month and still couldnât find a suitable name.
âUncle, how about Li Jie? It was simple and easy to remember! Is it special enough?â Ji Ziâang said casually as he lay beside the young lady.
Before Li Lei could say anything, Li Yong came in from outside and said, âGood, this name is good. When Big Brother and Sister-in-law have a second child, theyâll be called Li Mao!â
Understand? Courtesy??
Li Leiâs face darkened as he looked at the uncle and nephew. âGo, go, go. You two stay away from my daughter.â
