After a while, Li Ping said again, "Why don't we go there again in a few days? If no one is targeting my aunt and the others, then we can rest assured. If there is, it's better to resolve the matter as soon as possible."

Sun Xiu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

After all, what if someone with a stupid brain really comes looking for trouble?

Everyone talked for a while and then went back to rest.

The next day everyone started working again.

When I arrived at the purchasing department, the first words everyone said to each other were "Happy New Year."

No matter whether you are in a good mood or not, you should smile when you say this.

After everyone finished talking, he returned to his idle state.

Liu Gang was still asking Li Xu, "How have you been these past few days?"

Thinking about what happened these days, Li Xu also laughed, "Great."

It’s really good. Apart from anything else, I’ve been eating a lot of meat these days.

Eating meat is like being a thief, afraid that others will come and ask questions.

But you can eat it with confidence these days.

Because every household eats meat during the Chinese New Year, it won't attract anyone's attention.

Liu Gang nodded. "That's good. By the way, when will you come to my house?"

Li Xu scratched his head. "Wait a couple of days. I'll tell you in advance when I go."

"OK."

Since everyone has already started working, we can only go to pay New Year’s greetings in the evening.

Anyway, as long as it is the first month of the lunar year, you can go to pay New Year's greetings.

There is still a long time.

In the next few days, Li Xu also went to Uncle Xu's house to pay New Year's greetings, and received red envelopes and some return gifts when he left.

During this period, many people came to Li Xu's home to pay New Year's greetings, such as Hu Guilan's parents' home.

The day of Lantern Festival soon arrived.

After eating dumplings as usual that evening, Li Mei sighed, "This year's Lantern Festival is so boring. There aren't many performances."

Li Ping was the first to respond, "Who has the energy to perform in this weather?"

Everyone also expressed their agreement.

The Lantern Festival is also one of the important festivals here, and there is a saying that "the fifteenth day is like the New Year."

People will also perform shows on this day, including dragon and lion dances, waist drum teams, dry boats, yangko, etc.

But the problem is that these programs require a lot of physical energy.

Last year there were quite a few people performing on the streets, but this year there are not many people.

Even Li Chen was unhappy, "No one is out playing on the streets now."

Normally, children would go out to play tonight, carrying paper lanterns or simple lanterns made of wood boards and candles.

But there are not many children on the streets today.

The only thing that remains unchanged may be the red lanterns hanging in front of every household.

Li Jiakang also said bluntly, "Then you should just behave yourself at home."

No one was very happy because we didn’t see any good programs today.

But it was an important festival, so Li Ping took out his playing cards and said, "Let's play Zha Jin Hua."

Everyone thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Soon the room was filled with the sounds of joy from winning money and regret from losing money.

After playing until around ten o'clock, everyone ate some dumplings and then went back to the house to rest.

In the following time, everyone went to work and came home as usual, and nothing special happened.

Until this morning.

Hu Guilan started complaining of stomachache early in the morning.

Everyone rushed her to the hospital without even eating.

After arriving at the hospital, the midwife checked and said that the baby would not be born for several hours.

Everyone looked at each other, and then unanimously decided to go back and ask for leave.

Everyone hopes to see the birth of the first child of the next generation.

Only Li Ping, Li Chen and Li Ju were left in the hospital.

It didn't take much effort and everyone was back soon.

Sun Xiu held the things for the child that she had prepared earlier.

Li Xu also held a cup, milk powder and brown sugar.

After arriving at the hospital, I found some water to make a cup of milk powder and added brown sugar to it.

Then he gave it to Hu Guilan to drink so that she could replenish her strength.

Hu Guilan also drank two large cups.

Then Sun Xiu and the others stayed there to talk to her and help her divert her attention.

We waited until 11 o'clock before the midwife kicked everyone out.

Everyone was waiting anxiously outside the door.

Li Ping was also walking back and forth, but his eyes were always fixed on the closed door.

This made Li Jiakang anxious, "Take a break, I'm dizzy from walking so much."

Sun Xiu patted him directly and said, "How can he not be anxious when he becomes a father for the first time?"

Li Jiakang muttered, "This is my first time being a grandfather, and I haven't seen anyone so anxious."

Sun Xiu glanced at him and ignored him.

Li Ping ignored him and continued walking.

Fortunately, it didn't take long. After just over twenty minutes, I heard the crying of a child inside.

Everyone was very happy.

Then after a while, the midwife came out and said, "Congratulations, mother and child are safe."

After listening to this, everyone thanked him and rushed inside.

Then everyone gathered around the bed and were overjoyed to see the wrapped baby.

Only Li Chen said, "My nephew is so ugly."

No one bothered with him on this happy day. Sun Xiu said, "You were uglier than this when you were born. You'll be uglier after a while."

Li Chen looked incredulous.

Li Ju also said, "I wish my nephew could grow up quickly and play with me."

Hu Guilan responded, “It will only take a few years.”

Although she had just given birth, Hu Guilan was in good spirits. She sat on the bed and looked at the child with a smile on her face.

Perhaps due to the good food he ate during this period, this child was born heavier than other children.

Especially Li Ping and his friends, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

It is now generally believed that the heavier a newborn baby is, the healthier he or she will be and the easier it will be to raise.

It was not like the later times. Even if it was a normal birth, one had to stay in the hospital for two or three days before going home.

Generally speaking, you can wait for a while and leave if nothing unexpected happens.

So everyone waited there for two hours, and only went home together after seeing that there were no other problems.

Hu Guilan was also wrapped tightly and sat in the back of the car with her child in her arms.

After arriving home, he asked her to sit on the bed again.

Li Mei was preparing food in the kitchen, after all, no one had eaten all morning.

After everyone finished their meal, Li Ping and others went out to announce the good news.

Relatives must be informed of this matter.

Sun Xiu was also preparing red eggs in the kitchen.

As Hu Guilan's due date drew closer, Sun Xiu began to consciously save eggs.

But eggs have a very short storage life, so not many can be accumulated.

After Li Xu knew about it, he took the basketball hoop and went out for a walk, and when he came back he handed over a basket of eggs.

He had been consciously accumulating eggs before. After all, eggs in the space would not go bad, so he only took out a small amount each time.
