"Oh, look at this little nose, it looks just like Chen'er, they look like they were carved from the same mold." Grandma Lu said excitedly.
"Look at those eyes and mouth, they are so similar to Ruoli." Qiao Yunrong also agreed.
Father Lu rubbed his hands and said, "Give me a hug too!"
Grandpa Lu also came forward and said, "I want a hug too."
Qiao Yunrong carefully placed the baby in Mr. Lu's hands, "Be gentle!"
"Okay, okay, take your time." Grandma Lu also carefully supported him with her hands, fearing that she would drop her great-grandson.
As they were talking, the nurse pushed Su Ruoli in. Su Ruoli had already fallen asleep. Jian Zhongyi and Fang Yi followed beside her with distressed looks on their faces.
Seeing that Su Ruoli fell asleep, everyone lowered their voices.
At this moment, Su Ruoli woke up. She looked at the people around her and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"Child..." Su Ruoli said weakly.
Qiao Yunrong quickly took the child from Mr. Lu's arms and held him next to Su Ruoli, "Ruoli, look, this is your child."
Su Ruoli looked at the child and couldn't help but shed tears. "I don't know how Lu Chen is doing. He doesn't even know our child is born..."
Although she was pregnant, she still went to the army to ask about it every few days, but every time they said that the person was alive and nothing else.
As long as people are alive, they will definitely come back. But they have been gone for so long, and no one knows when they will come back.
Mr. Lu quickly comforted her, "Ruoli, don't worry, Achen will definitely come back safely.
During this time, you can rest at home and we will take good care of you and your child."
Su Ruoli nodded. She also believed in her heart that Lu Chen would definitely come back.
"Ruoli, have you thought of a name for the child?" asked Grandpa Lu.
"Let's call you An An as a nickname. I'll choose a real name after Lu Chen comes back." Su Ruoli said weakly.
"An An?" Qiao Yunrong called out, "It's great that the whole family is safe and sound!"
"Little An'an, you have to be good!" Grandma Lu also said, looking at the child with eyes full of love.
The next morning, Zhang Sitong rushed over and saw Su Ruoli lying on the bed. "You really made me look for you so hard. When I got home, I saw that the door was locked. I guessed you might have given birth."
"Why are you the only one here?" Zhang Sitong found that Su Ruoli was the only one in the ward, without even a caregiver.
"Grandpa and grandma stayed with me all night last night. I asked them to go back and rest. My mother-in-law went to get some water, and my father-in-law went to work." Su Ruoli said, looking at Zhang Sitong again.
"Thank you for your hard work. You have been with me throughout my pregnancy. Thank you." Su Ruoli expressed her gratitude sincerely.
"That's too formal. After all, I am his aunt!" Zhang Sitong said as she walked to the cradle to look at the child.
"What's his name? Boy or girl? He's so cute." Seeing the child, Zhang Sitong felt her heart melted by the cuteness.
"Your nickname is An An, and you can choose a full name when Lu Chen comes back. It's up to you whether it's a boy or a girl." Su Ruoli said.
"Ruoli, I want to arrange a marriage with you. Such a handsome boy cannot be snatched away by other girls." Zhang Sitong said shockingly.
"What if you give birth to a son?" Su Ruoli asked with a smile.
"No matter what, I must give birth to a daughter and then bring your boy home." Zhang Sitong said, determined to give birth to a daughter.
"Are you sure you want to go back? You're not going to marry your daughter to my family?"
"That doesn't matter, as long as we're a family."
"Since you are so persistent, I agree to this child marriage. But it depends on them themselves. If they don't like each other in the future, we can't force them to be together." Su Ruoli said.
“This is natural.”
As they were talking, Qiao Yunrong came back with a kettle, "Sitong is here."
"Auntie, I came to see Ruoli and the baby." Zhang Sitong said politely.
"She will be happier with you by her side. Thank you, auntie." Qiao Yunrong was really grateful to Zhang Sitong. His son was not at home, and he relied on Zhang Sitong to accompany him throughout the pregnancy.
"We are good friends, this is what we should do." Zhang Sitong said with a smile.
Zhang Sitong stayed with Su Ruoli until the afternoon before going back. When Su Ruoli was awake, she chatted with her, and when Su Ruoli fell asleep, she looked after the child.
Su Ruoli was discharged from the hospital after two days and returned to Li'an Courtyard with her child.
Qiao Yunrong also followed Su Ruoli to Li'an Courtyard to take care of her during her confinement.
Fang Yi was there too, and the two of them, one responsible for cooking and the other for washing diapers, lived a happy life. It was just that Su Ruoli had no milk at all, probably because she was too worried. Fortunately, she had prepared bottles and milk powder, so the child would not go hungry.
She still had diapers in her space, but she couldn't use them on the child in front of them. She could only let them go back after the confinement period was over, and she would take care of the child alone and use diapers.
The days passed one by one, and soon it was the full moon. Early in the morning, Zhang Sitong rushed in from outside, "Ruoli, Ruoli, look at what I made for An An."
As she spoke, Zhang Sitong ran in with a pair of tiger-head shoes in her hand and handed the small shoes to Su Ruoli.
"You can do it. You can do all this." Su Ruoli praised without hesitation.
"It looks good, right?" Zhang Sitong said proudly.
"It looks good. Give me your hand!" Su Ruoli said.
Zhang Sitong pulled her hands back. Her hands were now full of needle holes.
Su Ruoli pulled Zhang Sitong's hand and said, "Are you stupid? Look at how badly you're injured. Does it hurt?"
Zhang Sitong suddenly looked pitiful. "It hurts, it hurts so much! But the moment I saw it was done, I felt a great sense of accomplishment."
Su Ruoli turned around to find some ointment and carefully applied it to Zhang Sitong. "How is it? Is it feeling better?"
"It feels cool and much better." Zhang Sitong said.
"I mixed the ointment myself. It's much better than the ones sold outside. Take it when you go back later." Su Ruoli said.
"Okay!" Zhang Sitong put it directly into his pocket.
Fang Yi and Qiao Yunrong were busy in the kitchen. Today was the full moon, so they had to prepare a good meal to celebrate An An's full moon and congratulate Su Ruoli on her confinement.
They didn't invite anyone else, only a few people they knew well.
(Zhang Sitong, Niu Jianguo, Liu Yuting, Gao Shenghua, Liu Jingtao, Fang Yijian Zhongyi, and the Lu family.)
Liu Yuting, Gao Shenghua and Liu Jingtao returned to the city together. Su Ruoli's belly was very big when she returned, but she still made noodles for them personally.
At noon, everyone sat together happily, eating and chatting, and several people gave little An An gifts.
