With so many people visiting that day, even Lin Xiazhu, who is in good health, was exhausted. Her husband helped her lie down, saying, "I need to sleep for a while; I'm so sleepy."
Bai Ruan tucked her in and touched her forehead. "Go to sleep. I'll stay here with you."
"Hmm, keep an eye on the baby, the little one has quite a temper," Lin Xiazhu said, closing her eyes before opening them again a moment later. "An, Gu Yan doesn't seem to be feeling well, I feel like something's not right."
"It's alright, I'll have someone keep an eye on her," Bai Ru'an said softly.
Lin Xiazhu was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Gu Yan really had something to do, otherwise An would not have said that. She wanted to ask her in detail, but she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep the next second.
"Is my sister asleep?" Lin Taozi asked in a low voice as she looked over. She was sitting by the crib, watching her little nephew sleeping soundly.
"Okay, you go eat first, I'll watch over things here," Bai Ru'an instructed.
"Okay, I'll go eat first, and my brother-in-law can eat when I get back." Lin Taozi said, and was about to leave.
"You don't need to go out. The maid has brought the food over. You can eat in the lounge next door." This VIP ward is a one-bedroom apartment with a balcony and bathroom, as well as a room for family members to rest. This way, nothing will disturb the patient's rest.
Before we knew it, it was the day of Xiao Mo Xun's one-month celebration. The little guy was awake for longer periods of time. When he wasn't sleeping, he loved to look up at his mother, blowing bubbles as he did so, his little hands tightly gripping the front of his mother's clothes, and sometimes he would babble a few times.
Lin Chacha and Song Cheng arrived a week early with their twins. A couple of days ago, Lin Shanfu, Zhang Yu, Zhang Longfei, Zhang Shengli, and other relatives and friends came. They had already calculated how many people could come, and the Bai family had bought round-trip tickets so they could just come directly.
Lin Chacha's family is temporarily staying at the Bai family's house, while the rest of the family is staying at a hotel. The twins started walking after their first birthday, and now they are one year and five months old. The older twin walks quite steadily, while the younger twin is still a bit unsteady and comes to bother his little brother all day long.
Every day after waking up and having breakfast, I would come to the crib to check on my sleeping little brother. After a while, I would get bored and the two brothers would start playing by themselves, chasing each other around – it was quite a lively scene.
The entire Bai family mansion was filled with the voices of the twins. The two little ones were incredibly energetic and strong. Often, if you didn't keep an eye on them, they would carry an antique vase around, which terrified the servants.
This terrified Lin Chacha and Song Cheng. An antique vase costs at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions, or tens of millions. If these two kids break one, will they have to pay for it or not?
"Song Cheng and I should just take our eldest and second sons to live in the Garden Community. We're so worried every day, afraid that they'll break something and we'll have to pay for it ourselves!" Lin Chacha complained bitterly.
Lin Xiazhu was both amused and exasperated. "Who knew they were so strong? That vase must have been over a meter tall, and those two brothers were able to carry it. They're quite capable."
"Sister, don't be too happy yet. Your little nephew is still young and you can't tell what he'll be like. When he gets older, he might be very strong. You'll really have to be careful with your antiques then. If you don't hide them well, he might really mess them up and lose them."
No way!
Lin Xiazhu's expression stiffened slightly as she looked down at the little one sleeping soundly in her arms. How adorable and lovable! Although he was a bit temperamental sometimes, he wasn't as noisy as Song Ran and Song Yu, was he?
However, she wasn't sure. Actually, it's a good thing for boys to be stronger; at worst, they can just pack up all the fragile items.
"Put these antique vases away now, or I won't dare stay here anymore," Lin Chacha said, patting her chest.
After consulting with Bai Zhengping and obtaining his consent, Lin Xiazhu instructed Guan to arrange for someone to put away all the antique vases in the house, as well as other fragile decorative items. It didn't matter if those broke, but she was worried that the shards might injure the twins.
Because of the celebration for Xiao Moxun's one-month birthday, Lin Xiaoxue and Lin Taozi stayed at the Bai family's old house last night. Now that the weather is a bit warmer, Xiao Moxun no longer needs to be wrapped in a blanket and can wear only three layers of clothing.
He wore a monk's robe as a base layer, a small sweater in the middle, and a thick onesie on top. The room was heated, so he wouldn't get cold. The little guy was probably happy that he wasn't wrapped in such a thick blanket, and he was always waving his little hands, very lively.
"Come here, let your second aunt hold you. Oh my little darling, you're heavier than your two cousins. Your two cousins weren't this big when they were a month old." Lin Chacha was very fond of him and kissed Xiao Moxun on the face.
Lin Xiazhu smiled with her eyes narrowed, "This child is taller than average. He was bigger than other children when he was born, and he has grown a lot in the past month. Fortunately, he is just growing rapidly and is not too fat, otherwise I would really be worried."
“My brother-in-law is about 1.9 meters tall, and you are 1.7 meters tall. Since you are both tall, your child will definitely be tall too. It’s genetic, so there’s nothing to worry about.” Lin Chacha was quite carefree.
However, Lin Xiazhu wasn't worried. The Bai family had a private doctor who was frequently called over by the old man to check on Xiao Moxun's health. In fact, the old man cared more about her than she, his mother. Now, he didn't go out to play with people anymore and just stayed at home, occasionally inviting old friends over to play chess or something.
More often than not, he would be in the living room, having someone carry Xiao Moxun downstairs, and then showing off his great-grandson to his old friends. Come to think of it, none of his old friends actually had a great-grandson; some of their grandchildren were quite young and not yet of marriageable age.
Those who have reached marriageable age do not want to get married too early. In fact, it is rare for a family to have four generations living together. Bai Zhengping also got married early and was only twenty years old when he gave birth to Bai Junsong. Later, Bai Junsong was nearly forty when he gave birth to Bai Ruan.
Bai Zhengping is almost eighty years old now, and Bai Ruan is already twenty-six. Bai Zhengping feels that he needs to live a few more years to see his great-grandson at the age of jumping around, otherwise it would be too much of a loss.
But now he's a winner in life. None of the other old guys have great-grandchildren, only he does, so he always likes to show off in front of those old guys.
Xiao Moxun received so many gifts today, including six pairs of gold bracelets and six gold locks, which were given by her three aunts and Yan Xin, as well as by Bai Xinyu and Bai Xinru.
The most generous was Bai Junbai, who directly gave away five percent of the shares of Songbai Group without even blinking an eye.
He gave it to her in private; no one except Bai Zhengping knew about it. If Bai Xinru and Bai Xinyu found out, they would be furious.
Lin Xiazhu didn't stand on ceremony with Bai Junbai. Since he was willing to give her a ride, she was happy to accept it; her son could afford the money.
Instead, Bai Zhengping transferred one million to Lin Xiazhu, saying it was pocket money for Xiao Moxun. He didn't give her anything else. Lin Xiazhu felt this was unreasonable. The old man usually doted on Xiao Moxun. How could he just give her a measly one million? Wasn't this the treatment she deserved?
As if sensing her confusion, Bai Zhengping revealed his plan, "From now on, all the shares and assets under my name will belong to Xiao Moxun, and you will have no share."
