Researcher Tian stared wide-eyed at his mother spouting nonsense.
A wrinkled little child with red skin, how is that cute?
Lin Chuchu suppressed a laugh, walked up to him, congratulated him, and kindly explained.
"All newborns are like this. Wait a month and you'll see. Your baby will be fair and tender."
Researcher Tian's eyes lit up with hope, and he puffed out his chest. "Comrade Lin, are you telling the truth?"
He genuinely thought his son was ugly, to the point where he wished he could throw him away and have another child, but he was still his son, and no matter how much he disliked him, he had to raise him properly.
Lin Chuchu nodded, "Yes, my two children were like that, but they changed after a month."
The researcher felt comforted and happily went to his son, playfully teasing him.
Lin Chuchu then turned to look at Researcher Hou's family.
The child was held by Researcher Hou, neither crying nor making a fuss; the father and daughter simply gazed at each other quietly.
Imagine how boring a little girl would be if she had a blank, expressionless face.
No, we can't let the children go astray. When they grow up, let them play together.
Grandma Hou was all smiles, she was seeing the fourth generation, who had lived longer than the others.
If I go to the underworld in the future, I can at least give an account to my ancestors.
“Researcher Hou, your daughter looks chubby, she’ll definitely be healthy in the future.”
Lin Chuchu offered her sincerest blessings.
Researcher Hou slowly came to his senses, still feeling a sense of unreality.
"Comrade Lin, thank you."
Thank you, Lin Chuchu. If it weren't for Lin Chuchu, they wouldn't have come to the Beijing base, and the higher-ups wouldn't have considered transferring his partner over as well.
He knew from a long time ago that Lin Chuchu was different from them; the attitude of the leaders from above towards Lin Chuchu every time they came spoke volumes.
He felt very grateful to Lin Chuchu.
Lin Chuchu didn't understand why he suddenly thanked her, assuming it was because of what happened today.
He said with a smile.
"Don't mention it. I'm not doing this for you. They're both my sisters, so of course I'll take care of them."
Suddenly remembering something, Tian's mother slapped her forehead. "Oh dear, I forgot to make chicken soup. I'll go back and make chicken soup as soon as Lingling comes out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuchu quickly spoke up.
"Auntie, I made chicken soup at home, and it will be delivered right away. You don't need to make any more for the next few days. I'll have Aunt Li make it and deliver it."
"This...this is too much trouble."
Aunt Tian instinctively wanted to refuse.
“Auntie, we have a large family, so we can definitely manage. Researcher Tian’s maternity leave is short, so we’ll need you to take care of Lingling.”
"Please don't be shy. My maternal grandmother even helped both of your families buy some hens and eggs, which will be enough for the postpartum period."
Aunt Tian and Grandma Hou quickly apologized, saying that the other party had helped out of kindness, but they couldn't take it for granted and would have to repay the favor later.
Soon the two pregnant women were taken out of the delivery room and into a ward. The hospital was not crowded and they received special care, so they were arranged to share a double room.
Lin Chuchu inquired about the two people's situation, and just then, the family delivered chicken soup.
There were still quite a few red eggs in the two insulated boxes.
Mother Tian was a little ashamed. "My memory is terrible. I've completely forgotten about the red eggs."
In addition to the red eggs, the family also sent over two cans of milk powder, which they had specially saved for Ping An, since Ping An also needs to drink milk powder.
Lin Chuchu looked at the two children, chatted with the two new mothers for a while, and then left with her entourage.
Xiao Lu said enviously, "Lingling and the others are so lucky. One of them doesn't have a mother-in-law, and the other's mother-in-law even took care of her during her postpartum period. I wonder what kind of person I'll end up with in the future."
In the past, after meeting Lin Chuchu's mother-in-law and other mothers-in-law who were kind to their daughters-in-law, she thought that all mothers-in-law in the world were easy to get along with.
All her illusions shattered when she started dating someone herself.
She no longer hopes that her future mother-in-law will treat her like a daughter and pamper her; she just wants her to be free from any hardship.
If her husband were more on her side, her future would be better.
It's just too difficult; at least she hasn't encountered it.
Lin Chuchu smiled and said to Xiao Lu, "Yes, you will definitely get a good mother-in-law in the future."
"I hope so."
Xiao Lu shrugged, not actually having high expectations.
The day off passed quickly, and the next day, Lin Chuchu and her team were very busy because two people in the group had asked for leave.
You need to keep track of reports, monitor the research progress of other members, and provide the fastest and most accurate answers when others ask questions.
Lin Chuchu instantly became the pillar of the group. In the past, because there were other people around, she was unwilling to stand out and preferred to do what she was responsible for.
She doesn't like to meddle, but she's not afraid of trouble either. When she's needed, she'll step forward without hesitation and take on her responsibilities.
Song Luobai looked at Lin Chuchu with envy, wondering when she would be able to achieve that.
When Lin Chuchu turned around and picked up her pen to take notes...
Song Luobai asked Lin Chuchu in a low voice, "Sister Chuchu, how did you manage to be so prepared? Sister Chuchu, you're amazing. If I were in charge, I would definitely make a mess of it."
Lin Chuchu said with a smile, "I didn't know anything at first either. Just observe and learn more. Sooner or later, when you can stand on your own, you will find that these things are not particularly difficult, just a little tedious."
