"This is too ugly," Li Shutao said.

"Shut up! You were like this when you were born, you're not even as good as your niece!"

Li's mother stepped on Li Shutao's foot and said, "Get out of here. If you don't like it, don't look."

Li Shutao: "Mom, that's not what I meant. I love watching it!"

They had helped their older sister take care of her nephew for a while before, but this was still a little girl in the family, and Li Shutao was extremely excited about her.

"It's too late now. I'd like to wait until dawn to tell your father, is that alright?"

Li's mother glanced at Bai Jiaojiao.

It's already 3 o'clock. It's hot now. The village's radio starts calling people to get up at 4:30 in the morning. We have to be at work by 5 o'clock. It doesn't make much difference in time.

“Okay, everyone is in a rush right now, it would be too much trouble for my dad and the others to come over.”

"Yes, yes, that's what I meant too."

If a woman is not from the same village as her husband, her family usually won't know until the day after she gives birth. But Bai Shiqing's family is from the same village, and Li's mother was afraid that if she didn't tell them in time, the Bai family would have objections.

Hearing Bai Jiaojiao say this, she felt relieved.

"Come here, give your little nephew a hug."

Li's mother handed the child to Bai Jiaojiao.

Bai Jiaojiao looked nervous and carefully took it.

"Waaah—" The little nephew, who was originally very well-behaved in his mother's arms, immediately started crying when he was in his aunt's arms.

Bai Jiaojiao immediately handed the child to Li's mother: "Auntie, you should hold the child, I don't know how to hold a baby."

Li's mother quickly took the baby and comforted her, without blaming her. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's alright, you've never held a baby before, you'll get used to it with practice."
