Lin Zao stepped forward, walked to Li Xiaotao, and carefully took the sleeping child into her arms.
"This child is so well-behaved, and can sleep quite a lot."
Lin Zao smiled and gently rocked the child. It seemed that the child had been sleeping most of the time since birth, and was still a little lazybones.
"Zao Niang, quickly bring the child to me so I can see him/her."
Tang's mother was somewhat envious.
Since Hu Tou and Ya Ya turned four, they rarely asked Tang's mother to hold them anymore. She knew the two children were worried about pressing on her legs.
So when the two children get close to her, they always rush into her arms; she has never picked them up.
Now she can hold little Han Li. Once Xiao Tao moves into the General's Mansion, she'll have more opportunities to hold the child.
Lin Zao knelt down and handed the child to Tang's mother.
Tang's mother smiled kindly as she held the child in her arms and examined him carefully.
"This child looks like Qingyuan, and his mouth is like Xiaotao's. He's good-looking. I wonder how many girls he'll charm when he grows up."
When the baby was celebrating his third-day birthday, Xiao Tao was not feeling well, so the celebration was rather simple, and the family also came quietly.
The baby was only three days old then, and hadn't fully developed yet, so you couldn't see anything. Now the baby has suddenly become plump, with chubby cheeks, fair skin, and is incredibly cute.
Han Qingyuan and his wife smiled happily as they listened to Tang's mother's praise and looked at their child.
Everyone present made a joke about it.
After everyone was seated in the main hall, more people arrived at the door.
Tang Jian, as Han Qingyuan's sworn brother, went out with him to greet the guests.
It turned out that Hua Nanxing and Doctor Zhang had come together. In fact, they were Li Xiaotao's saviors, so Han Qingyuan would definitely invite them.
After the group entered the house, there was naturally another round of joy and excitement.
When the auspicious time arrives, the child's head is shaved. In ancient times, there was a custom of shaving the child's head at one month old.
Han Qingyuan carefully cut a small tuft of hair from the top of the child's head, and only felt relieved when he saw that he hadn't woken the child up.
The baby hair that was shaved off was then placed in a silver box for safekeeping, as it was believed to ward off evil spirits.
After the head-shaving ceremony, the banquet, also known as the full moon celebration, will begin.
Han Qingyuan began to toast each person one by one.
"Godmother, Qingyuan thanks you for giving me a new identity and allowing me to have so many caring relatives."
"Big brother, thank you. You gave me a new life. You will always be the big brother I respect the most!"
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much for taking care of Xiaotao all this time. If it weren't for you, Xiaotao and the child might not have made it to me."
······
By the end, Han Qingyuan's eyes were red. Almost everyone present had been kind to him. Heaven had been kind to him, giving him a lover and children, as well as so many relatives and friends.
"Alright, it's such a joyous occasion, why are you making that face, you're a grown man?" Tang Jian reached out and patted Han Qingyuan.
"Brother is right, it was Qingyuan who was rude. Everyone, please eat."
The atmosphere shifted from sadness to liveliness, with everyone toasting and laughing, bringing the full moon celebration to a perfect close.
Since Han Qingyuan was going back to the military camp, Lin Zao had previously agreed to bring Li Xiaotao and the child to live in the general's mansion, so that Han Qingyuan wouldn't have to worry about his wife and child while he was away.
Therefore, after seeing Hua Nanxing and Doctor Zhang off, Han Qingyuan and his wife began packing their things to move to the General's Mansion.
After loading everything onto the carriage and preparing to head back, Tiger Head and Ya Ya were still somewhat reluctant to leave.
