Fang Yuan was shocked for a moment when she was surrounded by four young men. Before she could react, the child in her arms had been taken away.
"Oh, you don't know how to hold the child? Give the child to me quickly." The voice of Old Mrs. Zhu was heard outside.
Zhu Yaowu was also impulsive, and when he hugged the child, he froze in place.
This kid is too soft, not soft at all.
The other three brothers around also wanted to hug her, but they didn't dare to compete with grandma, so they could only give up their seats and help grandma forward.
Old Mrs. Zhu took the great-granddaughter from her grandson's hands with a smile on her face and eyes. After holding the child firmly, she looked up at Fang Yuan.
"How is Xiaoling in there?"
"I'm dealing with the rest of the matter inside and will be out soon." Fang Yuan came back to his senses and replied with a smile, "Auntie, this child is handsome, like Weidong."
When Mrs. Zhu heard that Xiaoling was fine, she looked at the child in her arms again, "He looks like Weidong, handsome, and also like Xiaoling."
"Grandma, she opened her eyes. They are so big."
"Her mouth is moving. Is she hungry?"
“Wow, she’s not scared at all when she looks at us.”
"Will you cry?"
Just as the Zhu brothers finished talking, the baby in old lady Zhu's arms burst into tears.
Old Mrs. Zhu was not frightened, but the four brothers of the Zhu family were so scared that they dared not to move.
"Grandma, why is she crying? Is she hungry?"
"Can I have some milk? The milk is warm." Zhu Weiyue turned around and went to find milk.
"Is she cold?" Zhu Heping went to turn over the quilt.
Zhu Yaowu frowned, "Grandma, is she beating my sister-in-law?"
Old Mrs. Zhu looked at her grandchildren's flustered look, her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled, "She is happy. She is happy that she came into the world and came to our family. She is not crying, she is saying hello to us."
Zhu Weiming, who was usually the calmest person, also widened his eyes at this moment, obviously frightened by the little kid in front of him.
Zhu Yaowu smiled and said, "Grandma, you carry Niuniu to the ward first, we will wait for my sister-in-law here."
"No, the child has to see his mother." Old Mrs. Zhu did not move.
Zhu Weiyue and Zhu Heping, who came with things, also opened the door with their things in their arms.
Fang Yuan looked at this scene and wondered in his heart, are these family members happy or unhappy? Mingming's face changed when he heard that it was a girl, and he froze in his place.
Now he looks like this again, could it be... I suddenly realized that there is an outsider here.
"Auntie, why don't you take the child and go back first."
"Just wait here. Xiaoling is a great contributor to our Zhu family. She has suffered so much for our Zhu family. How can we leave her alone now?" What Old Mrs. Zhu said was in her heart, but to Fang Yuan, she felt that the old lady was blaming her.
She laughed dryly and said, "Aunt is right. Xiaoling is lucky to meet an elder who loves the younger generation as much as Aunt."
At this time, the door of the delivery room opened and Ji Ling was pushed out.
Fang Yuan was thrown where he was and the Zhu family members gathered around him.
Some call her sister-in-law, some call her Xiaoling.
The sounds came one after another.
Ji Ling tossed and turned all night, and after the child was born, she was completely exhausted. When she heard someone calling her, her eyelids were too heavy to lift them. She could only vaguely see that it was her grandmother and others. She moved her lips only slightly before she fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.
"I'm too tired. Don't bother your sister-in-law. Go back to the ward first." Old Mrs. Zhu lowered her voice. She was afraid that her grandchildren's voices would be too loud and scare the child in her arms. She was also afraid that they would shout, "Be quiet. Don't bother Niuniu."
The nurses and doctors who came out of the delivery room couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene, and at the same time they envied the happiness of marrying into the Zhu family.
The ward was a single room. After Ji Ling was moved to the bed, she fell into a deep sleep.
It was already daybreak outside. Old Mrs. Zhu sat on another bed, holding her great-granddaughter in her arms. "What did I tell you before? Now you all go and get things done."
There are indeed a lot of things to do, such as making phone calls and going home.
"Grandma, you haven't slept all night. Put Niu Niu on the bed and you should get some sleep too." Zhu Yaowu advised.
Mrs. Zhu was indeed a little exhausted. She looked at her great-granddaughter in her arms and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take a nap too."
She tried to put the child down. The child was very well behaved and did not cry or wake up. He mumbled a few times and then fell asleep again.
The four Zhu brothers came over and thought it was so cute.
Zhu Heping couldn't help it, and gently poked his little niece's face with his finger, then stepped back as if frightened.
"So soft."
The other three laughed.
Mrs. Zhu also laughed, but still said, "Wash your hands before touching them. There are bacteria on your hands, and children's skin is the most tender."
After that, he urged a few people to do the work, and then said, "Call the Ji family as well. We have to tell them about such a big happy event."
"Grandma, you should get some sleep too. I'll go make the arrangements." Zhu Yaowu responded.
"Oh, and I have to go home to get some milk powder. I have the bottles, but I didn't bring the milk powder."
After giving all the instructions, Mrs. Zhu finally lay down on the bed with peace of mind. Before closing her eyes, she couldn't help but take a look into the baby's crib.
The ward was quiet. Zhu Yaowu and his three brothers tiptoed out.
"Second brother, you stay here and watch. What if someone steals the child? We can handle it." Zhu Weiming said.
The other two did not think what he said was childish and nodded in agreement seriously.
Zhu Yaowuyuan had no plan to leave, as he was also worried that someone would steal the child.
The other three were busy, and far away in the southwest, Zhu Weidong had just returned from the construction site, having not slept all night.
Chi Fangping came in from outside, "Weidong, here is the hot water from the kitchen, wash your face and go to bed first. You didn't come back last night, and the director was worried, afraid that something might happen to you again."
"It's okay. Something went wrong with the project and needed to be dealt with promptly, so I stayed up all night." Zhu Weidong thanked him and then asked, "By the way, no one called last night, right?"
"I went to bed early yesterday and didn't pay attention. Let me ask someone else for you."
"No need to trouble you. We've been busy all night, so let's take a rest first." Zhu Weidong declined.
Chi Fangping nodded, "Okay, you take a shower and rest first, I'll go back first."
After Zhu Weidong sent the person away, he did not wash his face first. Instead, he walked over, picked up the phone and called home. He now calls home every night, but he did not call last night. Xiaoling must be worried.
No one answered the phone. Zhu Weidong looked at the time on his wrist. How could no one be home at more than seven o'clock?
Could something have happened at home?
After Zhu Weidong came up with this idea, he made his second call to the hospital, but no one answered the phone in his mother's office.
He put down the phone, stood up, turned around to look for someone, and heard the phone ringing behind him.
Happy May Day! I have to take a day off tomorrow and spend May Day. I have been updating late these days, mainly because I have to go out for injections every day and feel uncomfortable.
