Tang Bei and Tang Nan didn't have much of an impression of when Tang Dong was born, but they were already old enough to remember when Tang Yue was born. To be fair, Tang Yue wasn't as pretty as Tang Xi back then.
They still remember that Tang Yue was so small back then, with hardly any flesh on her body, looking like a monkey that hadn't gained any weight. She was also extremely weak, as if even breathing was difficult for her.
Tang Yue actually somewhat agreed with Tang Dong's statement; this child really didn't look good, how could he be so ugly?
Grandma Qiu looked at Tang Dong and smiled.
"You silly child, all newborns are like this. This Xixi is considered good. There are many babies who don't look as good as our Xixi. Come on, take a closer look. Isn't this baby beautiful?"
Although Tang Dong complained, this was his younger brother, so naturally he liked him.
Tang Yue leaned closer to examine the baby closely. The baby's tightly closed eyes were like crescent moons, and its long eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows beneath them. Its small mouth occasionally twitched, emitting soft cries, like the first chirping of a fledgling bird.
Her little body was pink and tender, as if it would break at the slightest touch. But the more Tang Yue looked at her, the softer her heart became.
Old Li had already prepared the meal in the kitchen. She didn't know what Cui Cui ate during her postpartum period, so Grandma Li went over to help. She said that women should eat more brown sugar to nourish themselves during their postpartum period. These days, brown sugar was a rare commodity, and most families really couldn't afford it.
However, since they all lived in the family compound, every household had prepared some brown sugar. Lin Cuicui had some too. Grandma Li taught Old Li to stuff two eggs into a purse, cook some millet porridge, and add some brown sugar, saying that this was the best thing to eat.
Old Li listened attentively, preparing to cook for Lin Cuicui in this way from now on.
Everyone helped out a lot today, and Old Li wanted everyone to stay for a meal at his house, but as soon as they heard that, they all left immediately. Only Grandma Li and Grandma Qiu stayed to help out.
With no one at home to take care of Lin Cuicui, Grandma Qiu and Grandma Li realized this and had no choice but to eat here, even if it meant taking the liberty of doing so. However, both of them were thinking of having someone bring over some of their own food rations later.
After Tang Yue finished admiring Xiao Xixi, Grandma Qiu felt that the room was a bit stuffy, so she took Xixi to the main room.
Only Tang Yue and Lin Cuicui remained in the room. Lin Cuicui could no longer hold back. Her voice choked with sobs, she spoke, "Yueyue, your father..."
Tang Yue was also anxious, but she knew that being anxious was useless. In her previous life, she had encountered similar situations many times, and her senior brothers and sisters had also lost contact with her.
"Mom, don't worry, we need to trust Dad."
Tang Yue's eyes were firm, and Lin Cuicui seemed to find some strength.
"But..."
"Mom, I'll go ask Commander Kang about the situation later."
