Not long after they left, Li Lei returned.
With a red bag in his hand, Li Yong let him get into the car and carried him out.
Li Xiang was still sobbing. She hugged Li Miaoâs neck and asked, âAuntie, whatâs wrong with my mother?â
Li Miao was still thinking of an excuse when Ji Ziâang said quickly, âYour mother went to pick up your Little Brother for you. In a few days, your mother will come back with your Little Brother.â
âFrom where?â Li Xiang asked curiously.
âOf course, itâs the trash bin⦠Sighâ¦â
Ji Ziâang covered his head and looked behind him.â Why did you hit me?â
He retracted his hand and asked, âI think youâre the one who was picked up from the trash bin. Our Mom shouldnât have picked you up back then.â
When Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming heard this, they exchanged glances.
Ji Ziâang secretly made a face at Ji Zixuan, causing Li Nian to giggle.
Ji Zixuan stepped forward and carried Li Nian back to the courtyard.
At night, Ji Zixuan, Ji Ziâang, Gong Wenbai, and Li Zhiming slept in the east room.
Li Miao and Liu Guihua brought Ji Yuanyuan, Li Xiang, and Li Nian to sleep in the west room.
It was a little cramped. Fortunately, it was winter now, so it was warmer to squeeze together.
In the hospital, Meng Xiaoning was pushed into the delivery room.
Zhang Kun, Li Yong, Qin Xiaomin, Li Lei, and Li Xu were waiting on the chairs outside.
When Li Lei thought about his wife, she almost lost her life on the operating table. He was terrified.
He couldnât sit still and would get up and walk around every now and then.
Li Xu was annoyed by his movements, but she also knew he was definitely more annoyed at this moment, so she could only close her eyes.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Li Lei started to mumble again, âI said itâs good to have one child, but she insisted on having another one to keep Xiangxiang company. What company? With Niannian by her side, she wasnât lonely at all. She just wanted to have a son. She kept talking about it as if someone was forcing her to have a son.â
Li Xu sighed and wanted to cover her ears.
âShe really forgets the pain after the scar heals. I think she has forgotten how much she suffered when she was giving birth.â
âI didnât mind it, and our parents didnât mind it either. Why did she have to have a son? If this child was a daughter again, wouldnât she still have to give birth again?â
Li Yong rubbed his ears, âBrother, if you have the ability, go complain to Sister-in-law. Donât poison our ears here.â
Li Lei let out a long sigh and sat down on the chair. Suddenly, he remembered something, âOh right, I havenât called my parents-in-law yet!â
He got up and was about to leave.
Li Xu couldnât take it anymore and pressed him onto the chair, âAlright, sit down and rest. Your Brother-in-law has already called their family when you paid the bill just now. Also, you have to know that having a second child is better than the first. This time, it will definitely be faster than before!â
âReally?â Li Lei was surprised.
Li Xu nodded.
With Li Xuâs words, Li Leiâs heart calmed down a little.
Liang Huimei and Meng Qingxin came over not long after. When they saw so many people guarding outside, the husband and wife were grateful.
Li Lei waited and waited until one oâclock in the morning when Meng Xiaoning came out of the delivery room.
Compared to last time, it was indeed faster.
âCongratulations, mother and son are safe!â the nurse said happily.
Li Lei didnât care about the child. He grabbed the nurseâs arm and asked, âWhereâs my wife? How is my wife?â
Li Xu tugged at him, âEveryone said that both mother and son are safe. Your wife is doing well.â
Li Lei didnât seem to believe her and looked at the nurse with eager eyes.
The nurse smiled and said in a different way, âBoth the mother and the child are fine. Itâs a little boy, weighing six pounds and eight taels.â
Li Lei heaved a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing that she had a son, Liang Huimeiâs face was full of smiles, âThis is great. We have both a boy and a girl!â
Thinking that Liu Guihua and the others were most likely asleep, Li Xu did not call to report the good news.
The child was born and sent to the nursery.
Meng Xiaoning had a natural birth, so there was no problem.
Therefore, Li Lei was left to keep watch while the others went back to sleep.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun followed Li Yong and the others to their villa in the city to rest for three to four hours.
They woke up at six oâclock to report the good news and make breakfast for Meng Xiaoning.
When they went back, Liu Guihua and the others were already up.
How could they sleep soundly when they were thinking about Meng Xiaoning?
Therefore, they woke up early in the morning to make soup.
Liu Guihua was making a lot of noise in the kitchen. No one could fall asleep, so they all got up.
Of course, the two children were sleeping soundly.
Seeing that Li Xu had returned, Liu Guihua quickly wiped her hands on her apron and ran out, âHow is it? Did it go well?â
âXiaoning has given birth to a grandson of 1.5 kilograms,â Li Xu said with a smile.â
âDid Xiaoning suffer?â Liu Guihua asked again.
Li Xu shook her head. âNo, she gave birth at one oâclock in the morning. It was too late, so we didnât come back.â
Liu Guihua put her palms together.â
As she spoke, she returned to the kitchen, âYour father went up the mountain early in the morning to kill a chicken. Iâve stewed it. Youâve been up all night. Go and sleep. Iâll get Xiao Gong to send me there later.â
These people were indeed exhausted. They only slept for three to four hours a night.
Therefore, when they heard Liu Guihuaâs words, they all went to catch up on sleep.
After the chicken soup was cooked, Gong Wenbai and Li Miao brought Liu Guihua, Li Zhiming, and Li Xiang to the hospital.
The child was beside Meng Xiaoning. She had just finished feeding him and was fast asleep.
Meng Xiaoning and Li Lei gathered together and looked at the child without blinking.
Seeing them, Li Lei stepped forward and carried Li Xiang, âXiangxiang, this is your Little Brother!â
Meng Xiaoning looked at Li Miao and was a little embarrassed, âMiaomiao, Xiao Gong, Iâm really sorry. I canât help you with your marriage, and 1 even causing trouble.â
âOf course not. Giving birth is a joyous occasion. Our family is now even happier.â Li Miao said as she moved closer to the child.
She reached out and poked the childâs face, âSo cute, fair, and chubby.â
âSince you like children, then hurry up and have one after you get married,â said Meng Xiaoning.â
Li Miao was a little helpless.
Liu Guihua, who was beside her, had already silently opened the lids of the thermos.
âIâve already removed the oil from the chicken soup I made for you. Itâs not greasy at all. Do you want some now?â Liu Guihua asked in a low voice.
Meng Xiaoning nodded and was about to get up.
Liu Guihua quickly went forward and helped her sit up.
Liu Guihua poured the chicken soup into a bowl and placed a small spoon on it before handing it to Meng Xiaoning.
After doing all this, Liu Guihua finally had time to see her fair and chubby eldest grandson..
