Ye Caiping handed the child to Shen Zhiyan.

Shen Zhiyan took the soft, fluffy bundle and his heart melted at the hug.

The child, whom he had just thought was insignificant, now seemed to be closely connected to him, filling him with boundless tenderness and emotion.

Shen Manman looked at the soft, cuddly child in his arms: "Huh... why does he look so ugly?"

Shen Zhiyan smiled and said, "Just like when you were a child."

Shen Manman's face stiffened: "Uh...actually, it's not ugly, it's pretty."

Ye Caiping chuckled.

Grandma Ye laughed and said, "She's not ugly at all, she's already quite pretty. The baby will only get more beautiful as she grows up."

Hu Xiuxiu said, "My Zhuzhu was even more wrinkled when she was born, but she's so beautiful now."

Ye Erquan asked, "What's the child's name?"

Shen Zhiyan said, "Shen Xinghui."

The couple had already chosen names for their child, one for a boy and one for a girl; if it was a boy, they would name him Xinghui.

Ye Daquan and the others immediately exclaimed, "It sounds wonderful!"

By this time, it was already broad daylight. Everyone had breakfast before heading home.

Before long, the whole village knew that Ye Caiping had given birth to a boy.

The Wei family also heard this, and their faces turned very ugly.

Ye Caiping's belly is so round, and she loves spicy food, how could she give birth to a boy?

Moreover, why should she give birth to a boy?

Full of resentment, Madam Wei stood in the courtyard with Ye Yaozu in her arms, and snorted in the direction of Ye Caiping's house:

"Xing Hui, Xing Hui, I don't know what that name is, it's not as nice as my Yao Zu's at all. Anyway, my great-grandfather will definitely be the most successful one in the future!"

......

After giving birth, Ye Caiping felt completely relaxed.

The baby is cared for by three wet nurses. Originally, they planned for the baby to live with the wet nurses in the small courtyard next door so as not to disturb their rest.

But once the child was born, Ye Caiping couldn't bear to part with him.

The child must sleep in her room; she can only feel at ease if she sees him as soon as she opens her eyes.

But because of the wet nurse, she had a very easy time taking care of the child.

On December 12th, Ye Caiping's family held a lively celebration for their child's one-month birthday.

With Ye Caiping out of her postpartum confinement period, the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year is getting stronger.

Ye Caiping was holding her child and playing with him in the room that day.

Grandma Ye walked in and hesitated before saying, "The New Year is almost here. How about we have our New Year's Eve dinner at your older brother's house?"

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Okay."

Grandma Ye smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Caiping."

"No need to thank me, you're my mother."

Ye Caiping knew that this was her last New Year's Eve dinner in the village, so Ye Daquan's family naturally had to eat with her.

If the banquet is held at her house, then Madam Wei, Ye Peng, Wei Xiaojuan, and Ye Yaozu won't be able to come and will have to eat at home by themselves. So, will Ye Erquan and Yinhua come or not?

If the event were held at Ye Daquan's house, the Wei family members could also attend. Ye Erquan wouldn't make things difficult for them.

Ye Caiping knew that the elderly loved family reunions, and since she would be leaving the village after the New Year, she wanted to fulfill the elderly's wish.

Soon, it will be December 30th, time for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The entire Ye family gathered at Ye Daquan's house.

Although there were servants in the house, Du Shi still couldn't stay idle. She sat in the yard with a large bunch of vegetables, picking them.

Grandma Ye was also helping out.

Ye Caiping and Hu Xiuxiu were both holding their children, sitting to the side chatting and laughing.

Xiao Xinghui is only a little over a month old, while Xiao Mingzhu is already eleven months old.

Although Ye Jin'er and her sisters, along with the maids Jin Hua and Yin Hua, were sitting together with Ye Caiping and the others, they huddled together, chatting and laughing.

Shen Zhiyan and Ye Daquan, along with several other men, were inside the room, chatting about something.

This year is more lively than usual because there are two more children.

At this moment, Wei Shi, Ye Peng, and Wei Xiaojuan carried Ye Yaozu in together.

Ye Caiping didn't look at them much.

The Wei family members didn't gather together and sat on the other side.

Ye Peng couldn't help but glance at Ye Caiping's side, where he saw Ye Jin'er chatting with Shen Manman, her face beaming with smiles.

He felt uneasy.

In his mind, he had married another woman, doted on his wife, and had a healthy baby boy, living a happy life.

Even if Ye Jin'er were rich, she would still feel lonely and think that life is full of disappointments.

But in reality, Ye Jin'er was radiant and doing better and better, and didn't care about him at all.

This made Ye Peng feel extremely upset.

and......

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance at Wei Xiaojuan.

Since giving birth to her great-grandmother, Wei Xiaojuan has been taking all sorts of supplements to nourish her body, and she has become several sizes larger. Even now, wearing a fine silk flowered jacket and a gold hairpin in her hair, she still looks rustic and is not even a fraction as good as Ye Jin'er.

This made Ye Peng want to kick Wei Xiaojuan back home, as if it were shameful for her to sit next to him and bear the title of his "wife".

Ye Peng was feeling extremely uneasy and wished he could go home immediately.

But since we've already come all this way, wouldn't going back make us seem ashamed to face people?

Grandma Ye put down the vegetables she was holding and said with a smile, "Grandma's here."

After all, he was her great-grandson, and Grandma Ye still doted on him.

Madam Wei quickly picked up Ye Yaozu and said, "Come on, Grandpa, quickly wish your great-grandmother a Happy New Year!"

But the child just stood there blankly, not even reaching out or smiling. He was staring at something, drooling, and didn't respond at all.

"Grandpa? Grandpa?" Old Mrs. Ye called out a few times, but Ye Yaozu was still staring blankly elsewhere.

Grandma Ye frowned: "Why does this child always ignore people?"

She felt that the child was a bit slow-witted.

Madam Wei snorted: "Mother doesn't know, my great-grandfather is called calm and composed, unlike other children who are so noisy. You can tell at a glance that he is destined for great things."
