"Your family should be here in a few days. They must have been delayed by something." Zhu Weidong pulled his wife away. "Father-in-law and eldest brother love you very much. How could they not miss you when you give birth to a child?"

Ji Ling smiled and said, "Actually, Sanmei called me and told me that Ji Ke had an appendectomy surgery, so it was delayed. Otherwise, they would have come a long time ago."

"That's good."

Ji Ling didn't want to say anything because these were all excuses. Ji Ke could be taken care of by Xu Fang, and her father and elder brother could come over first.

Knowing clearly that her family didn't care about her, she was too lazy to explain these excuses to her husband's family.

Furthermore, if this is true, their family could have called them, but they didn't call at all, which shows that they are guilty.

There are no stupid people in the Zhu family. Everyone can understand what is happening in the Ji family.

The next day, Zhu Weidong left. Ji Ling could not leave the house, so the four brothers of the Zhu family went to see her off.

The Zhu family was worried that Ji Ling would feel upset, and they didn't know if it was Zhu Yaowu's fault. Three people from the dormitory came over, and Wang Sanmei also came.

All of a sudden, four people came to chat with Ji Ling, and Ji Ling's attention was distracted.

As there were many girls in the family, Mrs. Zhu would ask her aunt to prepare delicious food.

Looking at my four grandsons and then at my four daughters, I always feel that they are a good match.

However, the Zhu family has always adhered to the principle of not interfering in the relationships of young people.

At noon, when a large group of people were having lunch, the doorbell rang.

Zhu Yaowu opened the door and saw the Ji family members who were late.

The person who rang the doorbell was Ji Jianhua. He had been to the Zhu family before. When the guard saw him and heard that he was a member of the Ji family, he let him in.

Zhu Yaowu called "Brother Ji" and greeted Xu Fang and Ji Yong. Then he ignored Ji Ke and let someone in while shouting inside.

"Grandpa and grandma, Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji are here."

When they heard that the Ji family was coming, everyone put down their chopsticks immediately.

When Ji Yong's family saw the Zhu family having dinner, they felt it was awkward to come at this time, and then they felt even more unnatural when they saw so many people at home.

Among them, Wang Sanmei and the others knew each other, as well as the Zhu family. After the three unfamiliar girls were introduced, they found out that they were Ji Ling’s classmates who came to play today.

The Ji family came, and there were many people at home. Ji Ling also came down from the building. After saying hello, Miao Man and the others proposed to leave. Ji Ling did not keep them, but only told them to come back in a few days.

Once the outsiders left, only the Zhu family and the Ji family were left.

After sitting down and exchanging pleasantries, Ji Yong said awkwardly, "I'm really ashamed. We came here just when Xiaoling was about to leave the hospital after her confinement. Ji Ke was suddenly hospitalized, and the hospital said she would be discharged in seven days, so we thought we would wait until she was discharged before coming here together."

Who would have thought that it would take more than twenty days and my daughter is almost out of confinement.

Ji Yong didn't dare to look his daughter in the eye for too long, as he always felt guilty.

"Being far away and having things going on at home, no one wants this to happen. We can understand that. But you let our family take care of Xiaoling, and we are very grateful." Zhu Chuang's gratitude made the Ji family's faces hurt even more.

"Xiaoling is so lucky to have a husband-in-law family like you who loves her so much." Ji Yong said from his heart.

Zhu Chuang naturally understood the situation of the Ji family and knew that Ji Yong also loved his daughter, but he did not like Ji Yong's personality.

He is indecisive and timid in doing things. He is a capable man, but he is held back by his wife.

He is not saying that you cannot love your wife, but you must distinguish right from wrong and not give in blindly.

It was just the Ji family’s business, they were just in-laws, he didn’t want to say more.

Everyone sat and talked for a while. Auntie had prepared the dishes again and everyone sat back in the restaurant.

Because Ji Ling was still in confinement after giving birth, the meals she ate were specially prepared for her by her aunt.

Kong Siya also asked her aunt to bring a portion to Ji Ke, "Ji Ke just had surgery. Although she has been discharged from the hospital, she needs to eat lighter food. Then eat your sister's confinement meal."

"Thank you, Auntie." Ji Ke thanked her quietly, looking very well-behaved.

Xu Fang walked next to Kong Siya and thanked her, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"What's the trouble? It's just a matter of convenience. Auntie always prepares Xiaoling's meals individually."

When the aunt brought the food to her daughter, Xu Fang took a look and her eyes paused slightly.

But the white porridge is not simple white porridge. The ingredients in it seem to be made from seafood.

It is normal to eat seafood in coastal cities, but in their small places, the only seafood you can eat is dried shrimp and kelp.

Nowadays, if you see prawns in porridge, you can only find them in big cities.

Ji Ke was also surprised. She had eaten prawns at her grandfather's house in Taipei City, but they were dried shrimps, not fresh ones like this.

Finally, I saw some black things with thorns. They had no taste in my mouth and were very tough. I had no idea what they were.

Ji Ling was afraid that the child would wake up, so she went upstairs after eating.

Ji Ke also put down his chopsticks at the same time, "Sister, I'll go with you. I want to see my little niece."

"Let's go." Ji Ling said with a smile, "Didn't you come here just to see Niuniu?"

Ji Ke blushed and followed obediently.

If an outsider saw this, they would naturally think that Ji Ke was well-behaved and lovely. However, the Zhu family knew very well how much Ji Ling had suffered because of her, so when they looked at Ji Ke again, they could not say that they liked her.

Upstairs, Ji Ke looked at the soft baby and stood by the bed for a while, not daring to get too close.

"Sister, she is so small."

Ji Ling looked at her daughter, her eyes and face filled with tenderness, "She was even smaller than this when she was born."

When talking about her daughter, she became less cold towards Ji Ke, and Ji Ke noticed it.

She slowly squatted down, "Sister, what's her name?"

"Zhukova."

"Ke Wa? That sounds nice. Did your brother-in-law give you this name?"

"I took it." Ji Ling saw her daughter slowly open her eyes and look at them with her big eyes.

Ji Ke held his breath excitedly, "Ke Wa is awake, she is looking at us."

"The baby can't see us now. She will have to wait until she grows up a little bit before she can see clearly." Ji Ling picked up her daughter, opened her clothes and fed her milk.

Ji Ke blushed and looked away, her gaze suddenly fell on the balcony outside, and she walked over unconsciously.

"Sister, what kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful."

"Rose represents love."

"Rose? It's very similar to Chinese rose, but also different." After hearing what it represents, Ji Ke couldn't help but take a few more glances at it, "Is it a gift from my brother-in-law to my sister?"

"Yes." Ji Ling admitted frankly, "He knows that I like flowers, so he planted flowers all over the balcony. That one is wisteria, and I can't even name some of the other flowers."
