The next day, Li Chengxi was reading documents in the office when Political Commissar Meng came.

"Commander." Li Chengxi put down the documents in his hand and stood up.

Political Commissar Meng smiled, sat opposite Li Chengxi, and said, "I heard that during the training yesterday, he had a competition with Deputy Battalion Commander Shen of your regiment?"

Li Chengxi didn't explain, but just nodded. In fact, when Political Commissar Meng came, he guessed what it was about.

However, Political Commissar Meng did not come here to criticize Li Chengxi this time, otherwise he would not have come here specially, and still had this expression.

"Now those who are dissatisfied with you know that you are a sharpshooter, and you are truly worthy of the title of regiment commander. They have nothing to say." Political Commissar Meng said, "But Xiao Li, you still need to pay attention to the impact. After all, you, a regiment commander, broke the arm of the deputy battalion commander under you. It would not sound good if this news spreads out. Next time this happens, be a little more careful when you strike."

Political Commissar Meng was very clear about what kind of person Shen Guobin was. Shen Guobin not only did not submit to Li Chengxi, but also to him.

He rarely saw Shen Guobin anyway, but Shen Guobin was Li Chengxi's subordinate, so he could let Li Chengxi teach Shen Guobin a lesson to establish his authority.

**********************************

About twenty days later, Lin Tao received a package sent by Li Mingcheng from Shanghai.

It was a particularly large bag. When I opened it, I saw that there was everything in it, from children's clothes, diapers, milk powder and bottles, to some vitamin tablets. Then I looked at the clothes, and there were all kinds of sizes. The small ones were suitable for newborns, and the big ones were even suitable for several years old.

Since I didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, I bought both types, but there were more girls' clothes. It seemed that Li Mingcheng also liked little girls.

When Aunt Fang opened the package, she looked at so many things and didn't know what to say.

Before we knew it, it was already October.

It was just a week after the National Day holiday, and Aunt Fang and Lin Manman had already lived on the island for more than a month. Even the rabbit at home had given birth to a litter of rabbits, but Lin Tao's belly was still not moving.

Lin Tao went to school in the morning and happened to meet Yang Ai Dang.

Yang Ai Dang looked at Lin Tao's belly and asked, "Your belly is still not moving? Why did I hear Xiao Li say that your due date was during the National Day? It's past the due date, right?"

Lin Tao touched her belly and said, "Not yet. I don't know what's wrong with this baby. He's very slow and just won't come out. The doctor said if there's still no movement, we have to find a way. If it doesn't work, we can only do a caesarean section."

"Oh, then we have to think of a way. It's best to give birth by yourself if you can." Yang Aidang said. She knew about caesarean sections, but there were very few people doing them these days. Even Yang Aidang thought it was better to give birth by yourself. "Let Xiao Li take you out for a walk these two days. You can't just sit at home all the time. That won't work."

Lin Tao agreed to everything Yang Ai Dang said.

They both had their own things to do, so it was not appropriate for them to talk too much on the way. After a few words, they agreed to talk about it next time.

Lin Tao touched her belly and told the child to stop hiding in her belly and that it was time for the child to come out and meet people.

When they arrived at school, Xu Yuting was holding little Qingming and playing with him. When she saw Lin Tao coming over with such a big belly, she sighed, "It must be tiring to go to get off work and come home with such a big belly every day. I couldn't stand it even when I was nine months pregnant. You are different. It's been ten months and your belly is still not moving."

Xu Yuting walked to Lin Tao with little Qingming in her arms, pointed at Lin Tao's belly and said, "Qingming, let the little brother and sister in your aunt Lin's belly come out to play with you. Don't be lazy in there anymore. No matter how comfortable you are in there, it's time to come out and get some sun."

Xu Yuting became pregnant four months earlier than Lin Tao, and gave birth to Xiao Qingming a month earlier. Xiao Qingming is now more than five months old.

From being so tiny at the beginning, he has now grown to a size that can be held upright. His little face has become a lot rounder, and his eyes are not very big but full of spirit.

Not sure if he understood what Xu Yuting said, but he smiled at Lin Tao, looked at her bulging belly, and hummed a bunch of baby talk.

Xu Yuting and Lin Tao both said they didn't understand.

As usual, after finishing two classes in the morning, Lin Tao was going back. Xu Yuting had an art class in the afternoon, so she didn't go with Lin Tao.

When Lin Tao returned home, Aunt Fang was already preparing lunch.

As soon as she walked into the yard, she smelled a fragrance, the fragrance of mushrooms fried with bacon. Aunt Fang was thinking that Lin Tao was about to give birth, and she would have to breastfeed after giving birth, so it would be better for her not to eat this bacon, as it was not good for the child, so she made it for her in the next two days.

Speaking of mushrooms, Aunt Fang couldn't stay idle at home, so she went to the back mountain with Chen Shuifen to pick them.

Lin Tao has been on the island for more than a year, but has never been to the back mountain. She never expected that there were mushrooms growing there.

In addition to stir-fried bacon with mushrooms, Aunt Fang also stewed a fish soup. The doctor said that there was no movement in Lin Tao's stomach yet, and the most worrying thing was that the amniotic fluid would decrease and the fetus would suffer from hypoxia. So in the next few days, she should exercise more and drink more soup to ensure the amount of amniotic fluid.

Aunt Fang was very scared after hearing what the doctor said. She kept making soup every day and kept saying, "The baby please come out soon. It's not easy for mom to carry you, so please don't make things difficult for her."

Even Li Chengxi was extremely anxious and threatened to give this little brat a good beating when she came out. Why did she just stay there and not come out?

Lin Tao was actually a little nervous, but when she saw that they were more nervous than her, it seemed...she wasn't that nervous anymore. She herself couldn't explain why.

I just feel that this child can't really torment her that much.

This child is just too lazy. He wants to stay in her belly for two more days. He will definitely come out obediently in two days.

"Aunt Fang, what kind of soup did you make today? It smells so good." Lin Tao walked into the yard and called out.

Aunt Fang came out from the inner room, took out a wet towel and handed it to Lin Tao to wipe her face, and said with a smile: "Make fish soup. The fish here is cheap and nutritious."

Lin Tao wiped her face and hands and handed the towel to Aunt Fang. Not seeing Lin Manman in the yard, she asked, "Did Manman go swimming with her elder sister again?"

"That's right. Ever since I went back last time to catch her, she's become addicted. The child who was so quiet before has now become a crazy girl." Aunt Fang said helplessly.

Lin Tao smiled: "It's not good for Manman to be too quiet before. She should go out more often. If she is happy, let her go. It's nothing."

Aunt Fang nodded: "I thought so too, so I just said it in front of you. When she told me that she wanted to go to the sea, I agreed immediately."

The two smiled at each other, and Aunt Fang said she would go in to see if the soup was ready.

At this moment, Zheng Hongxing's voice came from outside: "Auntie Lin, Auntie Lin, look what good things I brought you, look what good things I brought you..."

Hearing the voice, Lin Tao smiled at Aunt Fang and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. She opened her mouth and was about to speak when Zheng Hongxing ran over and bumped into her stomach.

Zheng Hongxing ran too fast and accidentally tripped over the door threshold. He fell forward and hit Lin Tao's stomach.

Lin Tao's face turned pale and her stomach immediately started to hurt. She didn't care about Zheng Hongxing and shouted, "Aunt Fang, Aunt Fang, my stomach hurts..."

Aunt Fang was just about to say that the soup was ready and was planning to call Lin Tao to eat, but she unexpectedly heard Lin Tao complain of a stomachache. She ran out to take a look and saw that Lin Tao was holding her waist with one hand and her stomach with the other. Water had already started to flow from her calves. Her amniotic fluid had broken!

"Go to the hospital, go to the hospital quickly!" Aunt Fang was so scared that her face turned pale.

When Lin Manman and Chen Shuifen came over, they saw this scene. Lin Manman even dropped the bucket in her hand. She hurried over to help Aunt Fang hold Lin Tao and send her to the health center.

Zheng Hongxing was in the same position as when he fell, with a dull look on his face, as if he was frightened. He looked at the squirming octopus on the ground, and when he caught the octopus, he said he wanted to give it to Aunt Lin.

Chen Shuifen was so angry that she slapped Zheng Hongxing on the buttocks several times and cursed: "You little bastard, if anything happens to your Aunt Lin, I will beat you to death."

After beating Zheng Hongxing, Chen Shuifen no longer cared about him and quickly chased after him to send Lin Tao to the health center together.

Fortunately, this place was not far from the clinic, and Lin Tao was almost carried by Aunt Fang and Lin Manman, and her feet were wet. When they arrived at the clinic, doctors and nurses came quickly, let Lin Tao lie on the bed, and pushed her into the delivery room.

Aunt Fang was so frightened that her hands were shaking and she spoke incoherently: "Manman, you, you go, go and call your brother-in-law over..."

Lin Manman was also very frightened, her face was pale, Chen Shuifen was about to say that she would go and call, but Lin Manman turned around and ran away. Although she was so scared that her legs were weak, she still ran vigorously.

She was afraid, she was afraid that something might happen to Sister Tao.

On the other side, Li Chengqi just came out of the meeting and heard from Lin Manman that Lin Tao was sent to the hospital. The key point is that it was not a natural birth, but that Zheng Hongxing, that brat, hit her in the stomach!

He didn't even dare to think about what he would do if something happened to Lin Tao, and could only run to the clinic quickly.

Lin Manman followed behind, panting as she ran, and soon Li Chengxi disappeared.

When Li Chengxi arrived at the clinic, he ran directly to the delivery room. Aunt Fang and Chen Shuifen were in the corridor. Chen Shuifen saw Li Chengxi and didn't dare to say anything. She was too embarrassed to say that it was all Zheng Hongxing's fault. If anything happened to Lin Tao, she would really die!

Li Chengxi went to ask Aunt Fang: "Aunt Fang, what's going on?"

"A Tao was frightened... and suddenly said she had a stomachache..." Aunt Fang's voice trembled. She would never forget that her good sister died after falling.

Li Chengxi looked at the closed door of the delivery room, the veins on his forehead tensed with anxiety.

He clenched his hands into fists, said nothing, and sat on a seat in the corridor. He looked fine, but Aunt Fang noticed that his hands were shaking, and sweat was running down his cheeks, soaking his collar.

No one waiting in the corridor was not nervous.

Time passed by minute by minute. When Lin Tao was sent to the health center, it was around one o'clock in the afternoon. Now it is already past four o'clock, and more than three hours have passed.

Everyone was waiting anxiously, and at this moment, the sound of a baby crying came from the delivery room. The sound was so loud that it instantly broke the suffocating silence in the corridor.

Everyone's eyes turned to the delivery room, and Chen Shuifen quickly said, "It's born, it's born, the baby is crying!"

Aunt Fang, Li Chengxi and Lin Manman did not dare to let their guard down. The child was born, but they did not know how Lin Tao was doing!

After a while, the door of the delivery room was opened. A nurse holding a child walked in front, and Lin Tao was pushed out lying on the hospital bed. Although she looked weak, she was indeed fine.

Not until this moment did Li Chengxi and the others feel relieved.

The nurse smiled and said, "Congratulations, Captain Li, on the birth of a baby girl."

However, Li Chengxi did not go to see the child immediately. Instead, he ran directly to Lin Tao's side. He held Lin Tao's hand and couldn't stop shaking. His eyes were a little red and his voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time: "A Tao, thank you for your hard work."

Lin Tao had put a lot of effort into giving birth, and now she was a little weak. She smiled at Li Chengxi and said, "I'm fine. Go see our daughter."

When Lin Tao mentioned it again, Li Chengxi remembered that he had never seen his and Lin Tao's child.

Aunt Fang had already taken the baby from the nurse's hands. She was standing by the side holding the baby, and said with a smile, "Look at this baby, he's really good-looking, chubby and plump. At my age, this is the first time I've seen a baby so good-looking right after birth. But I think he looks more like Cheng Xi, can you guys tell me if he looks like Cheng Xi?"

Lin Tao smiled at Li Chengxi, and Li Chengxi looked at the baby with closed eyes in the cradle.

The child cried a few times when he was born, and now he is asleep again. To be honest, the child is still too young to tell much, but if you look closely, he does look like me.

Li Chengxi wanted to hug the child, but it was his first time as a father and he had never held such a young child before. He was a little overwhelmed for a moment, fearing that such a small child would fall from his arms.

Aunt Fang taught him how to hold the baby, and after a while he finally learned it.

The man who was a father for the first time, holding the glutinous rice dumpling in his arms, finally smiled and said to Lin Tao: "A Tao, this is our daughter. I am a father now."

"Yeah." Lin Tao pursed her lips and smiled.

Not only is Li Chengxi a father, she is also a mother.

Although Lin Tao gave birth to the child because she was frightened and hit in the stomach by Hong Xing, both mother and daughter were safe. And because of this episode, Lin Tao gave birth faster. Generally, for people who give birth to their first child, even if they are pregnant quickly, it will take at least seven or eight hours. Lin Tao gave birth to the child in more than three hours, which can be considered a blessing in disguise, as she suffered less.

After all, dilation and painful contractions every two or three minutes are really torturous.

When she arrived at the ward, Chen Shuifen was still chanting Amitabha, thank you □□, thank you God...

Lin Tao couldn't help laughing when she heard this. It was really like everything was mixed together. She knew that Chen Shuifen felt bad because of Zheng Hongxing's matter, so she comforted Chen Shuifen with a few words.

Chen Shuifen felt relieved because Lin Tao gave birth to the child safely. She stayed in the ward for a while, looked at the child and talked to Lin Tao, then said she had to go back to check on her. She hadn't cooked dinner yet.

Speaking of meals, Aunt Fang also said, "A Tao has put a lot of effort into giving birth, so she must be hungry now. I'll go heat up the food and bring it over. Cheng Xi, if you have nothing else to do in the group, why don't you stay here with A Tao and have dinner here tonight."

Lin Manman said, "Mom, why don't I go? If you leave, Sister Tao, my brother-in-law and I won't know how to take care of the child."

Aunt Fang said, "With your cooking skills, I'll do it. Your sister likes the food I cook."

As I was talking, I taught Li Chengxi how to change a baby's diaper, saying that if the baby cried, it might be because he had peed, pooped, or was hungry.

Speaking of being hungry, Lin Tao had just given birth and had no milk yet. Aunt Fang had to go back and bring the milk bottle and milk powder. Before Lin Tao started producing milk, the baby had to drink milk powder.

She also said that it is better now because the children can have milk powder to drink. When they gave birth to their children, the food was poor, and the children were born without milk and were hungry. The children cried because of hunger, and some of them would be fed with rice porridge.

But in the final analysis, Lin Tao married well and met Li Chengxi. After all, at that time, not every child could have milk powder to drink after being born.

The more Aunt Fang looked at Li Chengxi, the more satisfied she became, and she was happy for Lin Tao.

*****************************

When Chen Shuifen returned home from the clinic, she saw Zheng Hongxing still standing at the door of Lin Tao's house, holding the octopus in his hand.

When he just caught the octopus, he said he would give it to Aunt Lin to eat, and that after Aunt Lin ate the octopus, she would give birth to a little sister who would be as powerful as Nezha with three heads and six arms, who would be very good at fighting and could beat several people alone. If he took his sister out, he would beat all the children on the island until they cried.

On the way back, I ran all the way here. That's why I bumped into Lin Tao accidentally.

Zheng Hongxing didn't know how long he had been standing at the door. His head was covered in sweat and his clothes were dirty. He didn't even bother to brush them off. When he saw his mother coming back, he didn't say anything but just stared at her closely, as if he wanted to read something from her face.

Seeing him like this, Chen Shuifen was so angry that she poked him on the forehead and said, "Okay, your Aunt Lin is fine, and she even gave birth to a little sister."

After hearing this, Zheng Hongxing's tense face finally relaxed, revealing a big smile.

"You must remember the lesson today. Don't be so reckless. You want to scare people to death! Fortunately, God bless your Aunt Lin, she is fine. If anything happened, I would have skinned you alive!" Chen Shuifen gritted her teeth, "You are happy this time. Hurry up and go in. Your father will be back soon. I have to cook."

Zheng Hongxing shook his head and pulled his mother's clothes: "I want to go see Aunt Lin and my little sister."

Chen Shuifen said: "I haven't cooked yet."

Zheng Hongxing happened to see his father Zheng Youde coming from the front, so he just said to him: "Let Dad do it!"

Zheng Youde was puzzled: "What? Why do you want me to cook when your mother is here?"

This made Chen Shuifen unhappy, and she snorted, "Why, can't you do it when I'm here? If one day I'm dying of illness, will you also ask me to get up from the bed and cook for you guys?"

Zheng Youde: “…”

Zheng Hongxing said, "Dad, Aunt Lin gave birth to a little sister. I want to go to the health center to see Aunt Lin and the little sister."

"Has the little Nezha next door been born?" Zheng Youde asked in surprise. Since Lin Tao had never given birth, Zheng Youde joked that Lin Tao was pregnant with Nezha.

Zheng Youde then waved his hands and said, "Okay, then go and see her. Help your dad see if this little girl is pretty. If she is pretty, dad will try his best to find her to be your wife in the future."

Chen Shuifen said angrily: "You are so beautiful that Captain Li even refused to marry Captain Wang. Teacher Xu and Captain Wang are so beautiful, but you still want to marry their daughters to be your daughter-in-law. Don't you think about your own character? Just dream on."

Zheng Youde was speechless after being scolded by Chen Shuifen, and went to cook while cursing.

Zheng Hongxing pulled Chen Shuifen and was about to leave immediately, but Chen Shuifen pulled him back to get some water, splashed his face and washed his hands, and then changed into clean clothes.

Chen Shuifen: "You are so dirty, don't scare the little sister if you go over there. Your Aunt Lin likes cleanliness, we have to clean up before we go."

*******************************

In the clinic, Xu Yuting and her husband also brought their children to see Lin Tao.

Knowing that Lin Tao had given birth to a daughter, Xu Yuting kept saying that Lin Tao was really good at giving birth and that she really had a daughter. When she met Chen Shuifen, she still remembered that Chen Shuifen had said that Lin Tao was pregnant with a boy, and she used this to tease her.

"This child is so beautiful, much prettier than Qingming was when he was born. When Qingming was born, his skin was wrinkled and red, like a little mouse. This child's skin is white and not very wrinkled. Look at his little fleshy hands, how heavy are they?" Xu Yuting handed little Qingming to Wang Yuanliang to hold, and went to see Lin Tao's daughter.

Lin Tao smiled and said, "It is said to be six pounds and four ounces."

Xu Yuting: "No wonder, I'm more than a pound heavier than during Qingming Festival."

Zheng Hongxing said that he came to see the little sister, but when he really arrived, he didn't dare to go forward and stood in the corner looking over here.

Seeing this, Lin Tao waved at him and said, "Hongxing, come over and see the little sister."

She also knew that the child was trying to bring her an octopus, and even though he bumped into her, Chen Shuifen would have definitely dealt with him. The child, who was usually very courageous, was hiding in the corner and didn't dare to come over, looking very pitiful.

Only then did Zheng Hongxing dare to walk over and look at the little sister in the crib.

It wasn't very pretty, and it wasn't quite what he imagined, but Zheng Hongxing liked it very much. He looked at Lin Tao and asked, "Auntie Lin, can I touch your little sister? I've washed my hands."

Before Lin Tao could say anything, Chen Shuifen said nervously, "Be gentle, don't hurt the little sister."

This boy is usually very careless, and she is nervous.

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Big sister, it's okay. Hongxing, you can touch my little sister. You know what to do in your heart, right?"

Zheng Hongxing nodded, stretched out a little finger, touched the little sister's small fleshy hand, and ended up being held by the small fleshy hand.

Zheng Hongxing looked up at Lin Tao, her face flushed with excitement: "Auntie Lin, my little sister grabbed my hand."

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Little sister likes you. The doctor said that little sister was too lazy and didn't want to come out of Aunt Lin's belly. It was Hongxing who woke her up. However, not everyone will be like this, so Hongxing should be more careful when walking in the future, right?"

Zheng Hongxing nodded: "Well, I will never do this again. Aunt Lin, I will protect my little sister in the future. I will lead my little sister to beat people."

This made everyone laugh, and Aunt Fang said, "Little sister doesn't hit people."

Xu Yuting asked: "Has the child been named?"

"Yes." Lin Tao glanced at Li Chengxi beside her. The child's name was chosen after discussion between the couple. "Chengxi and I prepared two names. If it's a boy, we'll name him Li Yanxing, and if it's a girl, we'll name her Li Yanyue. It's the character for "Wang" with a moon next to it."

The word "Yan" is taken from "Peach and plum blossoms are like flowers, but they attract people without words". "Yue" means Lin Tao wanted her to be like the moon, bright and clean. There is also a "Wang" character next to it. "Yue" means that this child is the apple of her parents' eyes.

"Li Yanyue, it sounds really nice." Xu Yuting savored it carefully. "Compared to this, the name I gave our little Qingming seems too casual."

Lin Tao was still weak after giving birth, so everyone didn't stay in the clinic for long. They let Lin Tao and the child have a good rest and then went back.

The next day, Yang Aidang also came to see Lin Tao and said that the child was good-looking and had a good name. She told Lin Tao to take good care of herself and not to worry about the school, as the school had already arranged for a substitute teacher.

*********************************

Lin Tao stayed in the hospital for two days and then went home. Right after she was discharged, many people came to her home one after another. They were all parents of students in her class, and they brought her eggs, fish, shrimps and other things.

Adding on the fish and shrimps sent by Zhong Jing, Lin Tao felt that their family now had more supplies than during the Chinese New Year.

The diapers made by Aunt Fang really came in handy. Lin Tao was leaking vaginal discharge during the confinement period, just like menstruation, which was to expel the dirt in her body. At first, Aunt Fang took the dirty diapers to wash, but Li Chengxi washed them in advance and hung them in the yard. Anyway, no one knew whether they were diapers for children or adults.

Lin Tao can eat one chicken for two days, with fish soup and other things. Lin Tao has plenty of milk, so milk powder will soon be out of use.

We have a lot of supplies at home, and I haven’t gone to the grocery store to buy much during this confinement period.

Zhong Jing helps to substitute for the teacher at school, and Aunt Fang takes care of everything at home.

Out of 24 hours a day, the child can sleep for 22 hours, and spend the rest of the time drinking milk. Lin Tao is also relaxed. When he needs to urinate or defecate, Lin Manman and Aunt Fang will take care of him during the day, and Li Chengxi will take care of him at night.

Without having to do any work and without having to worry about other people's family worries, Lin Tao spent her confinement period in comfort.

She was just a little bored, so she asked Lin Manman to get her a book to read. Lin Manman said nervously that her mother said she couldn't read all the time during the confinement period as it was bad for her eyes, and asked her to look out the window more often as it was good for her eyes.

Lin Tao felt helpless and amused at this, but she had no choice but to give in.

At night, she asked Li Chengxi to read a passage to her for her own enjoyment.

After having a daughter, Li Chengxi cherished her very much. Even if the daughter was still sleeping when he came back, he would stare at her for a long time.

That’s all. Lin Tao didn’t know where Li Chengxi learned this trick, but sometimes when he didn’t know whether the girl had defecated or not, he would put his face close to the child’s butt and smell it. If he smelled a foul odor, it meant she had defecated.

Lin Tao found it funny and said that he was not afraid of the smell.

But Li Chengxi argued confidently: "My daughter's poop doesn't stink."

Another thing is the aspect of speaking. Lin Tao could never have imagined that the former "Living King" Li Chengxi would inexplicably use reduplicated words when speaking after he had a daughter.

For example, "poop, drink milk, sleep, take a bath..." is in sharp contrast to Li Chengxi, who is 1.89 meters tall, looks serious and doesn't talk much.

Thinking back to when the child had refused to come out, Li Chengxi even said that he would give her a good beating after she was born. But now he was even cautious when holding her and coaxing her, let alone beating her. How could he bear to do that?

However, what Lin Tao said was like the pot calling the kettle black. She herself treated the child as her own flesh and blood and took good care of him.

*********************************

During her confinement period, Lin Tao personally wrote a letter to her grandmother who was far away in Shanghai.

Ten days later, grandma finally received the letter.

As soon as she got the new letter, grandma couldn't wait to ask my uncle to get her reading glasses. She put them on and opened the letter to read. The wrinkles on her face were smoothed out with joy as she read. She also wanted to explain the letter to everyone.

"The letter said that Ah Tao had given birth to a daughter. Her name is Li Yanyue, and her nickname is Yueyue. Oh, what a nice name. Our Ah Tao is really good at naming. Ah Tao also said that Yueyue looks very much like Chengxi, with the nose, eyes, ears, everything is alike..." Grandma sighed again, "It's a pity that Yueyue is still too young now, so we can't take pictures of her. She said that she will take her outside the island to take pictures when she is older, and then send the pictures to us."

"But I want to see my great-granddaughter right now." Grandma glanced at her second son and said, "Lu Xiangdong, go buy the train tickets, and then take half a month off with your sister to go to the mountain city with me. I want to see my great-granddaughter."

My grandmother was directing the orchestra, and she looked like a female general in ancient times.

Lu Xiangdong said helplessly: "Mom, not to mention that it's hard to get leave from our company, even if my younger sister and I get leave, will your body be able to handle it? You are too old to take long-distance trips. The last time you came back from Xiangcheng, your feet were swollen and it took a week to go away. Have you forgotten this?"

Aunt Lu Xiangxia nodded and agreed: "Second brother is right. You kept it a secret from us and didn't tell Cheng Xi because you were afraid they would worry. If you went there this time, could you still keep it a secret?"

In fact, they also wanted to see Chengxi's children, but it was indeed not very convenient. It was not easy to go there, so they could only wait for an opportunity in the future.

But grandma wouldn't let her go even if there was a chance. She didn't even consider how old she was and was still thinking about what to do.

When the grandmother saw that her son and daughter were against her, she quickly winked at her daughter-in-law, trying to get her to help her.

But my aunt just pretended not to see it, smiled and continued to do her own thing.

The grandmother was helpless. Even though she knew in her heart that her children were doing this for her own good, she still went back to her room in a sullen mood, holding the photo of her deceased eldest daughter, feeling both happy and sad.

"Xiangchun, Mommy congratulates you first. Chengxi and Tao have their daughter. You also have a granddaughter. If you knew, you would be very happy. Tao said in the letter that the child looks very similar to Chengxi. I really want to go and see the child. Chengxi looks like you, so his child will definitely look like you too."

"But your brother and sister wouldn't let me go, and I was very angry. But fortunately, A Tao will send the photos to me after a while. A Tao is a very good child. I have also told you about her. She..."

…………

*********************************

Lin Tao was not aware of what was happening in Shanghai.

After giving birth to little Yanyue, Lin Tao sighed that the child was indeed growing bigger every day. Just after the confinement period, little Yanyue had gained a lot of weight compared to when she was born, and looked even more adorable.

Before, Aunt Fang said her daughter looked like Li Chengxi, but Lin Tao didn't think they looked that much alike. Now she thinks they really do look alike. Except for her eyebrows, which are like Lin Tao's eyebrows and are curved, her nose, eyes, mouth and ears are all like Li Chengxi.

As the saying goes, sons take after their mothers and daughters take after their fathers, and that’s normal.

Originally, Lin Tao felt sorry for not having seen the photo of Li Chengxi wearing a skirt when she was a child. But now she doesn't have to feel sorry anymore. She gave birth to a little Li Chengxi, and in the future she can just let her daughter wear a skirt for her to see.

Unexpectedly, something big happened just after Lin Tao came out of confinement.
