Qin Jin'an nodded. She would take good care of her mother and would always be her mother's good girl.

Qin Tianhai smiled; his daughter had given birth to a lucky star.

He was relieved; his daughter would do well in the future.

As darkness fell, Zhao's child was finally born.

"Waaaah—" A loud cry came from inside the house.

Qin Tianhai smiled with relief; it was good that the baby was born.

Qin Jin'an's eyes lit up: "My little brother has been born! When can I see him?"

She had known for a long time that the child in Zhao's belly was a boy, but she never said it.

Qin Tianhai raised an eyebrow: "Soon."

It turned out to be a son; that brat miscalculated.

Qin Yulin wanted to have a daughter first.

Thinking of that brat who dared to disobey him, Qin Tianhai looked up at the horizon and thought to himself: Brat, do you know that your wife gave birth today, gave birth to a son, and you're a father now.

A baby's first cry is always a joyful one.

Soon, Granny Wang opened the door to announce the good news.

"Congratulations, Scholar Qin! It's a boy! Your Yulin has a son now. First comes the fruit, then the flower. Wealth and glory will follow you. Congratulations on becoming a grandfather, and congratulations to your Yulin on becoming a father."

Wang Po had a sweet tongue, and kind words kept flowing out.

Qin Tianhai smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words. I also wish your family prosperity and fortune."

Qin Tianhai took out the prepared lucky money and gave it to Granny Wang.

Granny Wang accepted it with a smile.

"Grandma Wang, may I come in?"

Qin Jin'an asked obediently that she had been kicked out and not allowed to go back in since they arrived, and that she could only go back in after the baby was born.

Now that the baby has been born, Qin Jin'an wants to go in and take a look.

Granny Wang said with a smile, "Little Fish, you're a big sister now! But you'll have to wait a bit. They're still tidying up inside. Once it's all done, you can go in and see your little brother."

Qin Jin'an nodded.

Wang Po went inside again; she always comes out to deliver good news first.

After a safe delivery, everything else is simple.

Qin helped Zhao wash herself, and then put a prepared mattress on her and covered her with a quilt to keep her from catching a cold.

Zhang wiped Zhao's sweat.

He washed the child clean with hot water, wrapped him up, and brought him to Zhao, saying with a smile, "Look at him, how well you have raised your son!"

Zhao glanced at it and didn't see anything particularly beautiful about it, but she felt happy nonetheless. This was her and her husband's child, with her and his flesh and blood, and they were connected by blood.

"You had a good birth this time, without any injury or suffering. The baby cried a few times and then became well-behaved. It's clear that he came to repay a debt of gratitude. You will have much more good fortune ahead of you. Just give him some warm water for the next few hours. Once you've calmed down, you can slowly feed him milk."

Granny Wang had a kind smile and spoke sweetly. After speaking, she gently placed the child on Zhao's side.

The He family has already taken care of the follow-up matters.

"Then my mother-in-law and I will go back first, and we'll come back for the baby's one-month celebration."

Granny Wang smiled and took her leave.

Zhang also saw them off with a smile.

After they went outside, Granny Wang smiled and said to Qin Jin'an, "Little Fish, you can go in and see your little brother now."

Qin Jin'an nodded happily and walked into the house.

Zhang saw Wang Po and He Shi off at the door.

Inside the house, Qin was keeping Zhao company.

Seeing Qin Jin'an enter, Madam Qin beckoned, "Come here, my darling."

Qin Jin'an walked over quietly.

This was the first time she had ever seen a newborn baby, and she was somewhat stunned.

This is not what she imagined.

It's so small, it looks a lot like a little monkey.

It's the hairless kind.

It's hard to tell who he looks like.

But he's such a good boy; he knows his mother is too tired, so he's already fallen asleep.

"Little brother is so good."

Qin Jin'an looked at it for a long time before finally speaking.

She couldn't think of anything other than being obedient.

Bai Diandian was adorable when she was little, too. She was so cute and chubby, and she would whine when you pinched her little feet.

She hadn't seen Golden Tail when it was little, but Golden Tail was very beautiful, so it must have been cute when it was young. Therefore, this little brother isn't as good-looking as Golden Tail the monkey.

Even the green snake and the gray rat look better than him.

Qin chuckled.

"They all look like this when they are first born. They will look better as the little brother grows up."

Qin Shi understood Qin Jin'an and noticed her confusion; she was probably annoyed that her newborn brother wasn't cute enough.

Only at this time does her precious child become as innocent and naive as any other child.

"That's good."

Qin Jin'an was relieved.

"Aunt, are you still in pain?"

Qin Jin'an looked at Zhao Shi and asked with concern.

Just now, outside, the screams were truly heartbreaking. She didn't see them, but she could understand that it must have been unbearable pain.

Zhao shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

The pain was not very noticeable after giving birth. She was also in a good mood and had the care of her family, so she didn't feel any pain anymore.

This was a happy night for everyone.

The fragrant chicken soup was stewed with medicinal herbs to nourish Zhao's body.

Sleeping babies are well-behaved and easy to take care of.

When Zhang went back to her room to wash up, she stayed in Zhao's room.

Qin Shi couldn't win against her.

Zhang, hands on her hips, said, "Now that I'm a grandmother, it's my duty to take care of Lan'er. Since your older brother isn't home, your parents should take on his responsibilities. I'll let you know when I'm too busy."

“For the past two months, I’ve been sleeping in the same room as your sister-in-law.”

As Zhang spoke, she patted Qin's hand, recalling the time when Qin gave birth.

"Yu Wan, thank you for your hard work too."

Zhang's gaze softened; they had misjudged her, which was why their daughter had entered this den of wolves and was suffering so much.

"Then I'll take my baby back to the room to sleep. If you need anything, just call me."

Qin smiled and looked away from Zhang, afraid that she would shed tears.

She said to Zhao, "Sister-in-law, you should rest well and take good care of your health."

"Little sister, go to sleep now, I'll get some rest."

After eating the nourishing soup, Zhao felt a little sleepy.

Qin Shi took Qin Jin'an back to the house.

Zhang leaned against the outside of the bed and slept with Zhao, but they didn't share a blanket.

Zhao slept soundly, and Zhang changed the baby's diaper during the night.

Early in the morning of February 17th.

"Mother, how was last night? Was your nephew a good boy?"

Qin came over and asked how things were last night, saying she hadn't heard the child cry.

"This child is so well-behaved. He only whimpered a couple of times at night, and after I changed his diaper and gave him some warm water, he went back to sleep. He hasn't woken up yet. This child is so good and easy to take care of."

Ms. Zhang sighed, saying that newborns are usually not this well-behaved at first, but her baby was different. He seemed to know that his mother was too tired when she gave birth to him, so he didn't fuss.

"That's good, I'll go make fish soup noodles."

Qin was relieved. Seeing that Zhao was still asleep, she quietly went out.

Today, only Qin Tianhai went into the city.

Qin helped take care of the family at home.

When Zhao woke up, she was served a bowl of hot fish soup noodles.

Zhang put the felt hat on her and said, "Are you cold? You can't stand the cold these days. If you get cold, just let me know."
