When Li Sisi took the baby from the midwife's arms, her heart and hands were shaking.
It's so small and soft that it feels like it would hurt her if I use a little force.
She nervously carried the child to the bedside and half-knelt. She bent down and brought the child close to Li Nian. She excitedly lowered her voice so as not to disturb the child: "Niannian, look at our baby."
Li Nian turned her head to glance at the baby in the cradle, frowning slightly: "Why is she so ugly, wrinkled, like a little old man." Will she always be like this in the future?
When the midwife heard her words, she hurriedly explained with a smile: "Newborn babies are like this, they haven't grown up yet! You are so beautiful, like a flower, this girl must be a beauty!"
Li Sisi took out a silver ingot from her bosom and put it into the midwife's hand: "Auntie, you have worked hard. Today is thanks to your troubles and worries."
When the midwife saw the silver ingot, her eyes lit up instantly and she smiled from ear to ear: "It's not hard at all, it's what I deserve. Congratulations to the madam on the birth of your daughter. Madam and the young lady will surely be blessed with great wealth and prosperity in the future!"
Li Nian listened to the midwife's endless flattery and couldn't help but interrupt her with a smile: "Madam, there are many things the servants at home don't understand. I'd like to trouble you to explain them carefully."
The midwife smiled and replied, "Okay, okay!"
Li Nian said to Li Sisi again, "Go open the door. Aunt Pei must be waiting anxiously outside. Hand the child to the wet nurse while you're at it."
Li Sisi nodded "OK" and turned to open the door.
Aunt Pei was already standing outside the house, extremely anxious. When she saw the door open, she immediately walked in.
Also waiting at the door were Yu Niang, Xiao Ying and the wet nurse, and they followed Aunt Pei into the house.
Li Sisi was originally planning to hand the child over to the wet nurse, but Aunt Pei came in first, with a smile on her face, and walked over to hold the child.
Li Sisi then gave the child to Aunt Pei to hold.
Aunt Pei held the child in her arms, lowered her head and praised with a delighted look: "Oh, this little fellow, his eyes and face look so much like Nian Nian, so beautiful!"
Li Nian looked at her with a faint smile, and thought helplessly in her heart: It's a good thing that the aunt can compliment her like this. How can such a wrinkled child be beautiful?
Suddenly, Aunt Pei seemed to have just remembered something. She cried out "Ouch!" and handed the child to the wet nurse beside her, saying, "I have to quickly go get the old hens and a basket of eggs I ordered a long time ago to make soup for you. This is very important for your health!"
After handing the child to the wet nurse, Aunt Pei hurried out.
Li Sisi couldn't help but remind her: "Auntie, please walk slowly, don't be in a hurry..."
Before she could finish her words, Aunt Pei came back and ordered Yu Niang, "Yuniang, go and boil some sugar eggs to fill Nian Nian's stomach first. No one has eaten lunch yet, so it's time to make lunch. I'll catch the old hen and slowly stew it in the small stove. I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it until tonight!"
Yu Niang nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Li Sisi said to Xiaoying, "Go to the kitchen and help too."
"Okay," Xiaoying responded and followed Yu Niang out.
There are only two best friends left in the room.
Li Sisi closed the door mysteriously, then turned back to the bed and spread out her palm: "Niannian, eat this."
Li Nian looked at the pill in her palm. The color and size were very familiar. She immediately understood that this was the pill that Li Sisi exchanged with the system.
He frowned and asked, "What are you exchanging this for?"
Li Sisi's eyes lit up: "The system said that after taking this pill, your body will instantly recover to its healthiest state."
Li Nian pressed on: "How many points did you spend?"
Li Sisi said nonchalantly, "Ten years."
Li Nian lost her composure when she heard this: "I can take the confinement period to slowly recuperate my body, why are you wasting this life value!"
Li Sisi explained seriously, "I know you probably only have about seventy years left to live. I only spent ten years of my lifespan to exchange for a fake body, so I still had ninety years left! Now, after exchanging this pill, I only have eighty left. So, I'll still live a few years longer than you."
Li Nian was so stunned by her words that he didn't know what to say for a moment. Anyway, the pills had already been exchanged and couldn't be returned. It was too late to say more.
She took the pill and warned him seriously, "Don't waste your life points like this again!"
Li Sisi sat down on the edge of the bed, pouting and coquettishly defending herself, "This isn't a waste. Even if you've taken good care of your body, after having a child, your body won't be as healthy as it used to be. This pill is well worth the money!"
Li Nian looked at her helplessly: "Okay, I understand, but don't use points carelessly next time!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you." She poked Li Nian, "Then eat quickly."
Li Nian raised his hand and stuffed the big pill into his mouth, swallowing it with difficulty, causing his throat to become strained.
The pills produced by this system really need to be improved. They are too irritating to the throat.
After swallowing the pill, a warm sensation spread throughout her body, like a soak in a hot spring. The pain she'd felt instantly vanished. Her limbs felt full of strength, and she felt even more energetic than before she gave birth.
Li Sisi looked at the obvious change in her expression, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter: "How do you feel?"
Li Nian had just squinted his eyes in enjoyment, but upon hearing Li Sisi's words, he opened his eyes and exclaimed in admiration: "It's worthy of being a system product. Although it strains the voice, the effect is very good."
"That's good." Li Sisi smiled with relief: "Now I feel much more at ease."
"Knock knock knock" there was a knock on the door.
Li Sisi quickly got up to open the door, and saw Yu Niang standing at the door holding a bowl.
"Second Miss, the sugar eggs are ready."
"Just give it to me, you go to the kitchen and get busy!" Li Sisi took the bowl from Yu Niang and turned to walk towards the bed.
Li Nian sat up and ate the candied eggs in small bites.
Li Sisi brought a stool to the bedside and chatted with her while watching her eat.
"Niannian, have you thought of a name for the child? I've thought of a few, let me show you!" She took out a piece of paper from her bosom and spread it out, reading: "Li Zhiyi, Li Suyue, Li Yuexi, Li Lele, Li Yue, Li Shuyao, Li Yueji, Li Jinhe, Li Anan, Li Shuangmei, Li Anyue..."
Li Nian blinked and said, "Li Jinhe..."
Li Sisi paused and looked at her questioningly: "Why did you choose this? What's so good about it?"
Li Nian: “Because it has the most likes.”
Li Sisi: ...
Li Sisi sighed with some regret: "Okay, then call her Jinhe. I'll go to the government office to register her tomorrow."
Li Nian glanced slightly to the side, just in time to see a figure approaching from behind the screen. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You don't have to go. The errand boy is here."
"Hmm?" Li Sisi looked in the direction her gaze looked at in confusion.
Pei Yanli, dressed in a dark official uniform, approached with steady steps. When he turned out from behind the screen, his cold eyes instantly fixed on Li Sisi, and his gaze softened.
Li Sisi just turned her head to look at him, and her eyes met those deep eyes that seemed to be melting ice and snow. Her heart suddenly started beating wildly, and she quickly turned her head away and stopped looking at him.
