Zhao Qinglan arrived with a large pile of things and met Ji's mother.
The last time these in-laws met was when their two children got married.
Ji's mother knew that Zhao Qinglan had only visited once during her daughter's pregnancy, but she had sent a lot of things, including this spacious house and the nanny they had hired.
She had absolutely no complaints about her daughter, her mother-in-law; on the contrary, she was very grateful.
Being a daughter-in-law is different from being a daughter. Her daughter was also spoiled at home. Even though she knew that her eldest daughter was a good person, she was still worried about her daughter's life after marriage.
Now that her daughter is married, not only are there no conflicts between her and her mother-in-law, but her life seems even more comfortable than before she got married. How could she, as her mother, not be happy?
"I'm so sorry, I just got here." Zhao Qinglan said apologetically.
"Not at all, you and your father-in-law are both very busy. It's already very kind of you to still remember them."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhao Qinglan finally inquired about Ji Rou's condition.
With only a few days left until her due date, Ji Rou looks to be in good condition, with a rosy complexion.
Ji Rou stayed at work until half a month before her due date, and now she's just waiting to give birth.
After discussing it with Ji's mother, Zhao Qinglan realized that Ji might go into labor at any time, so she had her checked into the hospital in advance to wait.
With his mother and mother-in-law both there, Da Wa felt much more at ease. However, while working, he would occasionally drift off and think about his pregnant wife.
Da Wa's house is not small; even if Zhao Qinglan and Ji's mother both live there, it is still spacious.
When the older child goes to work, the two of them can still get along well at home.
Because Ji Rou hadn't given birth yet, Zhao Qinglan and Ji's mother took turns going to the hospital to accompany her, and Da Wa would also go to the hospital to visit his wife after work.
Ji Rou was asleep when she felt wetness beneath her and immediately opened her eyes.
"Mom, my water broke."
Her shout immediately woke up Ji's mother, who was staying with her at the hospital.
After the doctors and nurses came and wheeled Ji Rou into the delivery room, Ji's mother remembered to make a phone call.
Zhao Qinglan and Da Wa rushed over, with Da Wa pacing anxiously back and forth outside the delivery room.
"Big brother, sit down and wait. Giving birth is not something that happens in a short time."
The son-in-law was worried about his daughter, which naturally pleased Ji's mother. However, she was also afraid that her son-in-law might cause problems before the daughter was even born. She also advised her eldest son to sit down and wait, as childbirth is something that cannot be rushed.
Perhaps because Ji Rou had a good constitution and paid attention to nutrition during her pregnancy, and also moved around frequently, the sound of a newborn crying could be heard about an hour after she went in.
"It's born! It's born!" Zhao Qinglan stood up excitedly.
Several people rushed to the entrance of the delivery room.
The door opened quickly, and the nurse came out carrying the wrapped-up baby.
"It's a girl."
"How is my wife?" Da Wa asked anxiously after only glancing at the child.
"The new mother is doing well, she's just a little tired, she'll be out soon after she's ready."
Upon hearing this, Da Wa finally smiled.
Seeing how much her son-in-law cared for her daughter and didn't mind that she had given birth to a girl, Mrs. Ji was finally relieved. Her daughter was lucky to have found someone who knew how to cherish her.
The family planning policy is quite strict now. Unless Da Wa and Ji Rou decide not to work, they can only have one child.
Because of this, some families that were not originally so sexist actually prefer to have sons.
Zhao Qinglan held her granddaughter and looked at her, then smiled at Ji's mother and said, "This child is beautiful."
Ji Rou was quickly pulled out. She was still awake. Da Wa held her hand and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
"Thank you for your hard work." Thank you for risking your life to give birth to our child.
Zhao Qinglan and Ji's mother looked at them with smiles on their faces.
As soon as the child was born, they notified their families.
However, neither Li Huai nor Ji's father could arrive immediately.
Knowing that the mother and daughter were safe, they were all relieved.
Besides her husband, Zhao Qinglan also called her mother, sister, and others to share the good news.
Ji Rou didn't suffer much during childbirth. She stayed in the hospital for two days, and after being observed and found to be fine, she was discharged and went home with her baby.
After she returned home, Zhao Qinglan stayed for a few more days before leaving with peace of mind.
Despite her concern for her daughter, Ji's mother stayed behind to help take care of her during her postpartum period, along with the nanny.
When the eldest child isn't working, he also helps take care of the daughter.
When Zhao Qinglan came, she had already brought some diapers that she had bought from Hong Kong.
The older child was worried that her daughter's skin was too delicate since she was just born, so she used a comfortable cotton diaper pad for her first.
Even when it comes to washing the diapers, he enjoys it immensely.
When Zhao Qinglan returned home, her husband kept asking her what her little granddaughter looked like.
"The child is still young and hasn't fully grown yet. Besides, children this age change every day."
Even so, Li Huai still tirelessly inquired about all sorts of details concerning his granddaughter.
The two of them will go over again when their granddaughter turns one month old.
Li Huai eagerly awaited the arrival of his granddaughter's one-month celebration.
He and his wife arrived a day early, and as soon as he saw his fair-skinned and adorable granddaughter, he hugged her and couldn't bear to let go.
After not seeing her for more than twenty days, Zhao Qinglan felt that her granddaughter had changed a lot. She had inherited the best features of her parents and was very beautiful.
Seeing how much her husband loved it, she and her son exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.
The eldest son has already chosen a name for his daughter: Li Jin, with the nickname Jin'er.
"Jin'er, little Jin'er, oh, she's smiling, she's smiling!" Li Huai was so kind and happy, you could hardly see the coldness and sternness he once had.
“Everyone says grandparents love their grandchildren more, and now I believe it. When my second child and I were little, my dad rarely gave us a smile,” the eldest child complained to his wife.
Even Ji's father was overjoyed to see his little granddaughter.
A grandfather and a maternal grandfather, when they get together, can't stop talking about the little guy.
Xiao Jin'er's full moon celebration was not a big affair; only Zhao Qinglan and her husband, along with the Ji family couple, came.
Da Wa and Ji Rou also invited their close colleagues and friends, so they sat at two tables and had a lively meal together.
Both Li Huai and Ji's father were wearing military uniforms, and their ranks were clearly displayed.
Only then did Da Wa's colleagues realize that Da Wa and his wife's families were from very different backgrounds.
I used to think that Da Wa and his family were rich just because they moved into a big new house.
Although Erwa and Sanwa didn't attend their niece's one-month celebration, they all sent gifts.
Zhao Qinglan's family has quite a few relatives, including those from Hong Kong, Beijing, and the provincial capital. The gifts they sent and the gifts they asked them to bring over have piled up in large quantities.
These gifts included valuable items such as gold and silver. Since the child was still young, Da Wa and Ji Rou could only help their daughter put all the gifts away for the time being.
Little Jin'er, who is only a tiny bit old, is already a beloved and wealthy little darling.
