The baby in the swaddling clothes was sleeping with its eyes closed, its little face chubby.
"Wow, his mouth is so beautiful." Hu Mingyue exclaimed as if she had discovered something new. "Brother Peng, his mouth looks just like yours."
"Not really, I think it looks more like Mingzhu's mouth shape." Li Mengjiao reached out to touch the child's mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then withdrew her hand.
A group of people stood at the entrance of the delivery room to watch the chubby baby boy who weighed six pounds and eight ounces.
Wang Song grinned foolishly; ever since he saw his grandson's face, the smile on his face had never stopped.
"Old Wang, congratulations! You finally have a grandson." Hu Juan smiled gently, her eyes filled with joy.
"Great, that's really great." Wang Song nodded repeatedly.
He has a granddaughter in England whom he has only met once or twice, but he will have to keep this grandson by his side every day from now on.
"Xiaopeng, let me take care of this child when he's over six months old," Wang Song said. "I won't do anything else after that, I'll just take care of my grandson."
“Dad, my brother definitely won’t agree.” Wang Xia said with a smile, “Look at my brother, his eyes are so tender.”
Everyone looked at Wang Peng's face and chuckled softly.
Wang Peng hugged his son tightly, a silly smile on his face like that of an old father. The more he looked at his son, the more handsome he became, and the happier he felt.
This heavy feeling instantly made him feel the pressure and responsibility.
At this moment, the delivery room door opened again, and the nurse pushed Li Mingzhu out.
Wang Peng immediately handed the child to Li Mengjiao and took the wheelchair from the nurse: "Mingzhu, are you feeling alright?"
"Mmm." Li Mingzhu's face was covered in sweat, and her voice was tired and weak.
"Xiao Peng, hurry up and take Mingzhu back to rest," Hu Juan hurriedly reminded him.
"Let me see my son." Li Mingzhu hurriedly shook her head and stared at the swaddled baby in Li Mengjiao's arms.
Li Mengjiao quickly squatted down beside her and said softly, "Baby, Mommy is here to see you."
Li Mengjiao looked at her sleeping son, smiled silently, and reached out to hug him.
"Wait a minute." Li Mengjiao quickly stepped aside. "You're too weak right now. I'll put the baby on your bed later."
"Mmm." Li Mingzhu reluctantly turned her gaze away from the child and said weakly, "Honey, let's go back to the ward."
Wang Peng immediately pushed the wheelchair back to the ward and carefully carried her to the bed. Li Mengjiao also placed the child beside her and gently covered her with a thin blanket.
"Mingzhu, you must take good care of yourself during your postpartum period. You need to know that postpartum illnesses can stay with you for life."
Hu Juan said, "If you cough now, you'll have a cough for the rest of your life, and it will be incurable."
Wang Peng found her words a bit frightening and asked incredulously, "Aunt Hu, is it really that exaggerated?"
“It’s not an exaggeration at all,” Wang Song said. “You can’t be careless during postpartum confinement; you must take good care of her.”
He looked at Wang Peng and said with a smile, "Son, have your parents-in-law returned yet? You can call them to share the good news."
Wang Peng immediately took out his phone, ready to make a call, but then Li Mengjiao said, "Go outside to make the call, the phone emits radiation."
"Oh!" Wang Peng was taken aback, and immediately took his phone outside the ward to call his father-in-law, Li Kefan.
After the call went unanswered, he called three times in a row, finally calling his uncle Li Keyong directly: "Uncle, this is Wang Peng."
"Xiao Peng, I'm on duty outside, is there anything I can help you with?" Li Keyong asked.
Hearing that things were chaotic on his end, Wang Peng cut to the chase: "Mingzhu gave birth. Have my parents come back yet?"
"You've given birth? Where are you? Wait a minute, I'm going back to the car," Li Keyong said.
A moment later, Wang Peng heard the sound of a car door opening, and the noise on the phone lessened considerably.
Li Keyong hurriedly asked, "Xiao Peng, is it a son?"
Wang Peng nodded: "It's a son, weighing six pounds and eight ounces. Mingzhu and I are in room 307 of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital."
"Take leave immediately and come over. Wait for me." Before Wang Peng could speak, he hung up the phone. He had obviously forgotten about his older brother and sister-in-law.
Wang Peng was somewhat amused and exasperated. Just as he was about to call his father-in-law again, his phone suddenly rang. He answered the call and held it to his ear.
"Brother Peng, has your wife given birth yet?" Du Lei's voice came through the phone.
"The baby was just born." Wang Peng was in a great mood and said in a half-joking tone, "Now people are calling you uncle, right?"
"Hey, wait a minute." Du Lei shouted into the phone, "Uncle Li, Auntie, the baby's been born."
Immediately afterward, Wang Peng heard his father-in-law's startled cry: "Xiao Peng, Mingzhu has given birth? Where are you?"
Wang Peng was taken aback and asked, "Dad, when did you get back?"
Li Kefan hurriedly said, "Your mother and I just returned to the supermarket from the train station. Tell me quickly, where are you?"
Duan Cuilu's voice came through the phone again: "Xiaopeng, tell me which hospital it is."
Sensing their urgency, Wang Peng smiled slightly: "Ward 307, Maternal and Child Health Hospital. Mom, don't worry, be careful on the road."
"We'll be there soon. You must take good care of Mingzhu and make sure she doesn't catch a cold," Duan Cuilu said anxiously. "Old Li, let's go quickly."
Wang Peng heard their footsteps, and then he heard Du Lei's voice: "Brother Peng, I'll take them there."
"Brother Lei, get the ads up and running. All items at Brother Supermarket are 10% off. Give me a three-day super sale," Wang Peng said in a deep voice.
"Great! We must accumulate good fortune for our child. I'll make the arrangements." Du Lei couldn't stop smiling.
The two men chatted for a few more minutes, and then Du Lei arranged for his assistant to drive the company car to take Li Kefan and his wife to the Women and Children's Health Hospital.
He immediately went into the control room and turned on the loudspeaker: "Attention all units, the boss has a son! Starting now, all of my stores will offer a 10% discount for three days."
Du Lei's excited voice quickly spread throughout the Brothers No. 1 store.
"The young master has been born! The boss is so lucky!" A female shop assistant clapped with a smile.
"This child is so lucky to have been born into the boss's family. He'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of his life," said one of the older employees.
"Indeed, being born into the right family is a skill," all the shop assistants were discussing.
At the same time, the customers in the store were also excited, as the factory-wide 10% discount was a real benefit.
After Du Lei finished broadcasting, he was about to drive to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital when the four key employees from the supermarket arrived together.
Warehouse supervisor Dong Jianguo said, "Old Du, we were just discussing how much money we should give the child as a meeting gift?"
Du Lei was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "Don't give me a gift when we meet; the boss doesn't like that."
"Huh?" Dong Jianguo scratched his head. "Old Du, what do you mean?"
Du Lei opened the drawer, took out a notebook, and said with a smile, "The boss just added a rule: all managers, including the boss, are not allowed to accept money from company employees for weddings or funerals. Anyone found doing so will be fired immediately."
The four key members were all dumbfounded. Dong Jianguo asked in a low voice, "Old Du, what does this mean?"
