Along with the brothers' cheers, a baby's loud cry also rang out.
"Old Huo, did you hear that? It's born! My wife has given birth!"
"Yes, I heard that." Huo Tingzhou was also happy for his brother.
Xiao Zhengjun excitedly scratched the back of his head, then quickly opened the door.
When the two came out, one of the little ones had its ear pressed against the door, while the other was lying on the ground like a gecko, peeking through the crack in the door.
Xiao Zhengjun found it both infuriating and hilarious.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door, his face showing both the joy of being a father and the worries of being a husband.
"Beautiful, how are you?"
Hu Meili was panting heavily, her voice filled with exhaustion.
"I...I'm okay...it's just that I'm exhausted..."
"I'm telling you... after this baby is born, I'm never having another one."
"No more children! No more children!"
Xiao Zhengjun plans to have his tubal ligation done at the hospital after he returns from this mission.
He had already inquired with Mr. Liang beforehand and learned that he could be discharged from the hospital on the same day as the tubal ligation surgery.
Since the scars left by ligation surgery do not affect flight safety, there is no need for multiple levels of approval.
All you need to do is submit a report to the division headquarters.
At this moment, Hu Meili's voice rang out again, "Dr. Jiang, did I give birth to a girl or a boy?"
Dr. Jiang is currently cleaning the amniotic fluid and bloodstains off the baby. This is Jiang Si's reply.
"Congratulations, sister-in-law, you've given birth to a big, healthy baby girl! The baby is doing well, don't worry."
Jiang Si didn't lower her voice when she said this.
Everyone inside and outside the house heard it.
Xiao Zhengjun was so excited he was almost incoherent, "Old Huo, did you hear that? My wife gave birth to a big, healthy daughter!"
Upon hearing that she had given birth to a daughter, Hu Meili burst into laughter.
Her laughter was so loud that she accidentally aggravated her wound, causing her to gasp in pain.
Dr. Jiang turned around and handed the swaddled baby to Jiang Si.
Newborn babies are soft and fluffy, like a ball of cotton.
Jiang Si didn't dare to use any force when she took it.
"Comrade Hu has a slight tear down there. I'll disinfect it first. Comrade Jiang, could you please go out and give Commander Xiao and the others some good news?"
"Sister-in-law, I'll head out now."
Hu Meili was too exhausted to speak at the moment, so she just smiled and nodded.
Soon, the door opened.
Jiang Si came out carrying the child.
"Congratulations, Brother Xiao! Your wife gave birth to a daughter, and both mother and daughter are safe and sound."
"Waaaaah—I have a little sister!"
The second child jumped three feet high and reached out his hand the next second, "Aunt Jiang, can I hug her?"
The eldest child didn't say anything, but his desire to hug his younger sister was stronger than ever before.
However, with their father, Xiao Zhengjun, around, the two of them had to step aside.
"You can hold your little sister when she's older."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhengjun carefully took the child from him.
This wasn't his first time being a father, but the mindset towards having a son and a daughter is truly different.
"Old Huo, look! This is my daughter! I have a daughter!"
After saying that, he gently weighed it in his hand, calling it his precious darling.
Huo Tingzhou was already green with envy, but his face remained as calm as a rock.
"Yes, in three months, I'll be having a daughter."
Xiao Zhengjun, ever the opportunist, brought up the very thing he didn't want to discuss: "That's not necessarily true. You might end up like me, with two sons!"
Huo Tingzhou tilted his head back and glanced at his brother.
He finally understood whose personality his second son inherited from.
Xiao Zhengjun was completely absorbed in the joy of having a daughter, unaware that his words had almost angered his good friend to death.
And here he is, still showing off, "Old Huo, look at my big, chubby daughter, she's so beautiful."
"That nose! That little mouth! She's practically a carbon copy of her mother."
"Dad, I want to see my little sister too!" The second child was almost frantic with worry.
"Okay, okay, but you can only look, not hug. And don't poke Honghong's little face with your turtle claw, or she'll start drooling!"
"Mmm-hmm-hmm." The second child nodded repeatedly.
They had said these things many times before, and the younger brother said he was tired of hearing them.
The eldest son looked over with a surprised expression. "Dad, who is Honghong?"
"Oh right, who is Honghong?" The second child realized at this moment.
"Are you two so happy you've gone mad?"
Xiao Zhengjun stared intently at his daughter, "Honghong is of course our little darling."
"I've made up my mind! My formal name will be Xiao Weihong, and my nickname will be Honghong. What do you think? Don't you think it sounds nice?"
Xiao Zhengjun was quite satisfied with the name he had chosen.
But soon, the second son's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on him.
"It's not good, and it doesn't sound nice either!"
The eldest also felt that the name didn't sound very good.
He also gave his reasons.
"Dad, there are six people named Honghong in the family compound. If we call out Honghong, won't a whole bunch of Honghongs come running?"
"Exactly, there are so many red ones, it's impossible to tell who's who."
Xiao Zhengjun paused for a moment, then said, "Oh, that's true."
"How about we name her Zhuzhu?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si almost lost control of her expression.
Huo Tingzhou frowned as well: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, it sounds so nice, it's like our precious little one."
