Chapter 226 226. Mother's Responsibility
In the delivery room, loud cries were heard.
It is said that the louder a newborn baby cries, the healthier it is and the less likely it is to die.
Until the crying subsided, people entered the delivery room curiously.
Lanlan hugged her child weakly.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Evelyn asked softly.
Although it is most likely to be a girl, the possibility of it being a boy cannot be ruled out.
Lanlan gave birth to a son.
This low-probability event pushed her to the forefront.
The maid sisters all looked at her with envy and jealousy, wanting to verify it, but Lanlan refused to let them see it.
"Okay, everyone get out." Lovi drove the women away one by one.
Too many people can easily bring unknown germs, which is not good for the baby's health.
He stroked Lan Lan's tail to calm her restless mood, and then slowly moved closer to her face to take a closer look.
Sons will inherit more of their mother's characteristics, such as ears and tails.
Therefore, the characteristics of the newborn are basically very similar to those of the Ice Wolf Clan. The sub-human bloodline is dominant, and the newborn will also inherit a small number of characteristics from the father, such as black pupils.
At this moment, my son is eating.
Lanlan couldn't even open her eyes. Giving birth had consumed too much of her energy, and she let out a series of light hums from her nose.
Lovey didn't disturb Lan Lan. He stroked her tail and left.
A few more days passed.
Lanlan has recovered a little from her postpartum weakness.
He can now walk freely and just needs someone to keep an eye on him to avoid accidents.
"Have you decided on a name for the child?"
"Gray."
"Why did you choose this name? Is there any explanation?"
"I don't know, don't ask me." Lan Lan covered her drooping ears.
Luo Wei was very angry and noticed Lan Lan's perfunctory attitude. Her next sentence was: "Master, can I resign?"
"No, you signed a 20-year indenture."
"Oh, okay."
As long as her son was hers, Lan Lan was content. After a period of adaptation, a smile returned to her face.
"Stingy Lanlan, can you show it to us?"
"No, if you have the ability, give birth to one yourself."
In the great hall, the sounds of the maids' laughter and chatter could be heard.
On the fifth day of Lowe's deep meditation, a group of guests from afar visited him.
Lanlan's mother Tina, her sister Youyou, and her cousin Lucy Fei from the same clan.
Braving the heavy snow, the three people who came from afar were warmly received.
"Mother, why are you here?"
"I came here because I thought you were about to give birth. It's safer in the village, don't worry." Tina took the baby from Lan Lan's arms and held it carefully: "A boy?"
She asked in a tentative tone, unable to believe it.
"Yes!" Lan Lan nodded proudly.
"Sister, you are so awesome!" Youyou blinked cutely. Her face, which used to be chubby, has now become much thinner and she has gradually become a beautiful girl.
"What can I say? There hasn't been a boy born in our village for a long time." Tina had a surprised expression on her face, her gentle eyes fixed on Gulliver's ears.
The Ice Wolf Clan's bloodline is dominant, so he can be completely classified as one of their own family members. I'm sure the Great Elder will not object.
"Sister, everyone misses you so much since you didn't go back!" Youyou hugged Lanlan tightly, her nose moving slightly.
"Isn't it impossible to go back in time? I'll go back next year." Lan Lan pushed her sister away and took her son back.
"I want to discuss something with you. The situation in the village is better now, and we have no worries about food and drink. Let's take Anus back." Tina said to Lanlan.
"Well, sure. I don't have the energy to take care of Anus recently. It's also very depressed staying here." Lanlan lowered her head and responded nonchalantly.
She has poured almost all her love into Gulie and doesn't care about anything else.
"Next year, when Greg is older, you can take him back to the village with you," Tina reminded.
"I know." Lan Lan said without even raising her head.
Tina, Youyou, and Lucy stayed in Fulin Castle for three days and then left.
Before leaving, he negotiated with Lodel and took Anus with him.
In November, snowflakes kept falling from the sky. The snow on the ground became thicker and thicker. The scene of heavy snow blocking the roads caused great trouble to the residents.
The best-selling product recently is the thermos.
Since the assembly line was built, the price of thermos flasks has plummeted, and basically you can buy one for just one silver dollar.
Of course, Fulinbao has set purchase restrictions.
Each person can only enjoy the discount once. The second purchase will require ten times the price, which is ten silver dollars.
Despite this, thermos bottles are also the most popular product among foreign merchants in the East Continent.
The Chamber of Commerce of Black Blade Fort placed an order of 10,000 pieces at one time, paying a deposit of 240 gold royals.
The third generation of thermos kettle adopts double-layer glass liner and ceramic shell.
The surface is frosted, and it has both beautiful craftsmanship and practicality. But you must be careful when using it. If you drop it from the table, it will most likely break.
Some people suggest using metal as the casing, which is less likely to break and more practical.
However, it was unanimously rejected by the workshop's director and craftsmen. Undoubtedly, ceramics are more classy and luxurious.
Besides, if it is not broken, how can you buy a new one? In addition to the thermos, cement stoves, which are essential for winter, have been popularized in thousands of households.
Combined with the supply system of honeycomb briquettes, sales have always been lukewarm because everyone who should buy has already bought it.
Thick cotton quilts replaced animal skins and became a luxury item for keeping warm in winter. The average price of one quilt was thirty silver dollars to one gold coin.
Prices are always going higher.
The reason is that the territory's cotton fields have limited production and can only rely on foreign imports.
Even from the Magic Kingdom in the East Continent, they couldn't get any goods, as they had issued a ban on the Free Territory. They could only buy raw materials from the distant Central Continent.
The arrival of Hengyuan solved the urgent need for cotton raw materials.
Captain Meilin delivered the raw materials of cotton, white rubber and black rubber as agreed.
They took away mercury mirrors, ceramics, thermoses, soaps and other goods in stock, and also took away a lot of bicycles.
"By the way, someone asked me to bring you a message. There is a school in our country that hopes to join East Port City and engage in alchemy academic research. They think your path of development has great potential."
"Is this school a spellcaster school or..."
"The upper levels of the school are controlled by spellcasters, while the middle and lower levels have many ordinary scholars."
"We do have some important research projects waiting to be carried out, but we lack talent. If you are sincere about joining us, we will accept you. But you need to settle down here in the future, and you are not allowed to go back."
Evelyn made her words very clear.
"I understand." Luo Lin nodded slightly. "In the kingdom, ordinary people have no way to rise and are not valued by the upper class. As long as the road to Fulin Castle can give them a little hope, these should not be a problem."
