The rain was not heavy, just a misty drizzle, and Du Ruo followed her lead. Fortunately, she had brought her a raincoat before going out.

Du Ruo put a raincoat on her daughter and changed her shoes into waders.

Her mother held her hand and led her home. When they encountered puddles, she happily stepped on the water and giggled.

She raised her head and saw Du Ruo looking at her with a gentle smile.

The mother and daughter walked along the familiar streets together. The sky was hazy with drizzle, and the city seemed to have been washed by water. The old trees at the corner of the street were sprouting new buds.

Passing by her family's breakfast shop, Jiang Yining knew that she was not far from home, but she didn't want to go back so early.

She wished the road was longer, or she and her mother walked slower.

But her mother didn't slow down, still holding her hand and walking forward. She lowered her eyes to look at her daughter and said, "Ningning, be good. There are people waiting for you at home."

There was a sound in his ears, and Jiang Yining slowly woke up.

He Chi put the tissue box back in its place. Seeing Jiang Yining was woken up, he asked anxiously, "Wife, how do you feel?"

Seeing a tear falling from the corner of her eye, He Chi lowered his head and kissed her tear away, then asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Should we call a doctor?"

Jiang Yining shook his head. "No, it's just that I just dreamed about my mother."

She said, "He Chi, please tell my mother that she is going to be a grandmother. The child and I are safe."

He Chi hugged her and replied, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

She looked around and didn't see her daughter, so she asked He Chi, "Where is our child?"

He Chi helped her cover herself with the quilt and said, "The baby is in the outer room, mom and dad are watching."

"You want to see the baby, right? I'll go push her over here."

Seeing Jiang Yining nodded, He Chi went to the outer room.

Teacher Lin followed in and saw that Jiang Yining had woken up. He asked her with concern how she felt.

"By the way, have you named the baby yet?"

Jiang Yining smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it's He Chuyi, nicknamed Yiyi."

The nickname was given by He Chi, implying the only one between him and her.

The name Chuyi reminds Teacher Lin of a line from the poem "He Zhupingshan saw the peach blossoms in front of my courtyard".

The peach blossoms in front of the courtyard are blooming early, and the bright moon on the embankment is shining again.

Teacher Lin looked at her little granddaughter and smiled gently, "Little Chuyi."

"He Chi, you stay here and take care of Ningning and Yiyi. Your dad and I will go back and make breakfast for you."

He Chi probably didn't sleep all night. Jiang Yining saw that he looked very haggard, with stubble on his chin.

Jiang Yining asked him, "He Chi, do you want to sleep for a while?"

He Chi was reluctant to sleep now. He looked at his wife and his gaze fell on his daughter who was sleeping soundly in the crib.

"No."

He held Jiang Yining's hand, his dark eyes full of smiles, his heart softened, and he said with a curled lip, "Wife, we have a daughter."

Jiang Yining cooperated with him and nodded with a smile.

As soon as it was dawn, He Chi took out his cell phone and called all his brothers, wishing that the whole world would know that he, He Chi, had a daughter.

3.

Jiang Yining still remembers that the child was pink when he was just born, and he couldn't tell who he looked like.

A month later, the little one became fair and tender, with a pair of pure and bright eyes, and a delicate appearance that melted people's hearts.

Du Yingzhe brought a photo of Jiang Yining shortly after she was born. Comparing them, her daughter and she looked like they were cut from the same mold when they were little.

Jiang Yining rested leisurely at home for two or three months.

He Chi had been waiting for a long time and finally had a daughter. He was unwilling to leave the child to be taken care of by others.

While Jiang Yining was recuperating, he slept with his child in the next room at night.

That night, Jiang Yining got up and went to the next room to take a look. A small baby was lying on her father's shoulder.
