Tang Yue had already heard the slight clicking sounds coming from Lin Cuicui's body; she knew that this was the sound of her cervix opening.

Following Grandma Li's lead, she left Lin Cuicui's room, giving Lin Cuicui a reassuring look as she went. Lin Cuicui smiled at her with satisfaction.

Grandma Li pulled the girl out, not forgetting to admonish her, "Little Yueyue, you're just a child, you can't be so reckless in the future. Your mother has us adults taking care of her, why did you go in and join in the fun? This is against the rules, you know?"

Tang Yue nodded in agreement. But whether she listened or not was her own business.

As Grandma Li turned around, Tang Yue suddenly remembered something. "Grandma Li, there are too many people in the house, and the house is too small. My mother doesn't need so many people to give birth. Let the aunties come out and wait. I'll go get some water now."

Grandma Li thought about it and realized she was right. There were already quite a few people in the house, and she also felt it was difficult to breathe.

Grandma Li went in, and within two minutes, all the women in the house except for Xu Aijiao came out.

Wei Xin came out and went straight to Tang Yue.

"Little Yueyue, you're finally back. I was so scared just now, thankfully your mother is alright."

"Yes, thank you, Auntie."

"Hey, we're all military families, no need for thanks. But you, Yueyue, where have you been all these days? Your mother is about to give birth, and you're only just getting back. What have you been so busy with? You haven't even taken care of your family."

A glint flashed in Tang Yue's eyes. This Wei Xin definitely had something going on. Others might not have noticed, but she was still trying to find out information at this moment. It seemed that this person wanted to confirm some information.

"Thank you for reminding me, Auntie. I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Auntie. I'll go get you some water."

Wei Xin... this little girl is quite difficult to deal with.

Chang Yin hadn't left. He saw Wei Xin and Tang Yue whispering to each other from afar. Remembering the question Tang Yue had asked in the car, Chang Yin's eyes darkened. Although the little girl was young, she never said anything meaningless. It seemed that they needed to investigate Wei Xin thoroughly.

"It's born! It's born! Oh my, it's another big boy. Congratulations!"

"Oh my, this child is so good-looking, so fair and clean."

"You bet it is, this child is really good-looking."

Congratulations! You've finally given birth.

The sounds from inside the house were heard by everyone in the courtyard. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After such a commotion for so long, everyone's hearts were in their throats, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

Everyone knows that Old Tang's family went out on a mission. If something were to happen to his wife, it would be difficult for everyone to explain.

In no time, Grandma Li and the others had tidied up Lin Cuicui and the child. Although Wang Aihua and Aunt Kong usually didn't get along, neither of them made a fuss at this moment. They took the things that had been changed and went to wash them together.

Grandma Qiu held the newborn baby and couldn't get enough of looking at him. "Oh my, our little darling is so good-looking. This child has such a bright spirit. He's really so precious. Come on, open your eyes and look at Grandma, my little darling."

Lin Cuicui was in high spirits at the moment. She leaned against the bed and watched Grandma Qiu playfully tease her Xixi. This scene made Lin Cuicui want to cry.

She's had four children, and apart from Tang Shengkai, no one has ever cherished her children like this. She had hoped for it before, but all she got in return were insults and disdainful looks. When had her child ever been so loved and played with by his grandmother?

"Oh dear, you little rascal, the baby has been born safely, why are you crying now? I didn't see you shed a single tear even when you were in so much pain."

Grandma Li was just about to make some brown sugar water for Lin Cuicui when she turned her head and saw the girl looking at Granny Qiu with tears in her eyes.

She did have some idea of ​​what Lin Cuicui was thinking. "Alright, Cuicui, I know you suffered a lot giving birth to this child. When your Tang Shengkai comes back, we will definitely tell him how much you suffered for him."

"You shouldn't cry right after giving birth. If you cry too much during your postpartum period, your eyes might get bad later."

Lin Cuicui felt her tears welling up, and her voice choked with emotion. No one had ever said these words to her before. She had never been cared for like this before; it felt so good.

But as soon as Aunt Li mentioned Tang Shengkai, Lin Cuicui's heart sank again. Missing, missing! She didn't even know how her husband was doing now; she was worried sick.

After Tang Yue and the others finished tidying up inside, they rushed in when Grandma Li agreed to let them in.

"Mom, how are you? Is there anything else that hurts?"

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

The brothers didn't know what to ask, they just kept calling for their mother.

Lin Cuicui smiled at the group; these were all her good children.

"Mom is fine, you all go and see your little brother. From now on, his name will be Xixi."

"Hehe, little sister, you'll have a little brother from now on."

Tang Nan was overjoyed. He had already moved closer to Grandma Qiu, who sat down on the edge of the bed so that all the little ones could see.

The younger children huddled together to watch their little brother.

Xixi's little face, nestled in Grandma Qiu's arms, was wrinkled, like a shriveled peach, with a faint blush. Her wet baby hair clung tightly to her scalp, sparse and soft.

Tang Dong immediately grimaced upon seeing it, "So worrying, she's not as pretty as my sister at all."

Tang Yue...

She blinked and looked back at Tang Dong, who smiled at her and said, "You're the prettiest little sister."
