Where is my daughter?
As soon as Li Shuhe saw Li Shuyang, she looked up and gazed in his direction.
Li's mother went over and pressed her back onto the bed: "Lie down and don't move around."
Shen Qingwen followed behind Li Shuyang and hurriedly said, "Here, here."
He pushed the hospital cart, looking somewhat lost and helpless.
The car was placed next to Li Shuhe, and Xu Ruantang and Wang Xiuxiu immediately surrounded it.
As for Li Shuyang's dejected look, no one noticed it, assuming he was just happy to be an uncle.
The little baby is lying in the crib, and even with his eyes closed, you can see that he has big eyes just like his mother.
Her face was fair, tender, and plump, and her body had no dandruff or vernix caseosa.
Even when asleep, it's restless, its mouth keeps moving, and its little head twitches slightly.
"It's so beautiful."
With a small nose and a pointed chin, she looks delicate and cute.
Wang Xiuxiu couldn't help but mutter, "I thought all babies were wrinkled."
Mother Li's voice came from behind, "That depends on the child's weight. Generally, chubby children won't be too wrinkled. I remember Xiao Zhao wasn't light back then either, so he probably wasn't wrinkled either. Xiuxiu, have you forgotten because it's been so long?"
Wang Xiuxiu turned around and said with an embarrassed smile, "He wasn't as pretty as a young girl back then. Shuhe, have you named the child yet?"
Afraid that her mother would ask too many questions, she quickly changed the subject.
Li Shuhe shook her head, "Not yet. My dad has suggested some names, but I'm not very satisfied with any of them."
"And what about your nickname?"
Xu Ruantang couldn't resist touching the little girl's face and turning to ask.
Li Shuhe smiled and said, "How about calling it Watermelon?"
Xu Ruantang: "......"
Why call it watermelon?
Li Shuhe glanced over here, "When I was pregnant with her, I really wanted to eat watermelon, but I couldn't."
Wang Xiuxiu was speechless. "You can't call it watermelon. When the child grows up, if you call her home for dinner, the whole courtyard will hear you calling 'watermelon' for ages. They'll think a watermelon seller has come into the yard."
Li Shuhe belatedly realized, "That's right, that won't work, let's think about it again."
Perhaps because everyone was talking too loudly, the little girl smacked her lips twice.
The next second, she started wailing.
Shen Qingwen, who was originally standing to the side, rushed over upon hearing the noise and hurriedly picked up the child.
He had little experience, and his whole body tensed up while holding the child, and he couldn't stop the crying.
In the end, it was only after Li's mother took her in that the little girl slowly stopped crying.
"She's hungry."
Xu Ruantang looked at the child and said something.
Shen Qingwen scratched his head. "It shouldn't be. I just drank milk."
"I'm feeding her with a bottle; I don't have any milk yet."
Li Shuhe added.
Xu Ruantang sensed something was wrong and pointed to the little girl's mouth, saying, "Look at her, she keeps looking for something, she must be hungry."
After asking her questions, Xu Ruantang finally understood what Shen Qingwen meant by "just having drunk milk".
He prepared half a bottle of formula for his child as instructed by the doctor. However, it only contained one scoop of formula powder and a little over half a cup of water.
At that time, Li's mother was with Li Shuhe and didn't notice anything.
"That's not enough. You're starving her."
Sure enough, Shen Qingwen prepared the milk again, and the little girl immediately started drinking it as soon as she touched the bottle.
After drinking his fill, he fell asleep immediately.
"You said you weren't hungry, but the baby is already impatient to drink milk."
Wang Xiuxiu complained, "Luckily, Ruan Tang saw it, otherwise you little girl would have had to endure hunger for who knows how long."
Shen Qingwen blushed deeply with embarrassment.
The little girl was sleeping in her crib, and Li Shuyang stood beside her watching.
Congratulations on becoming an uncle!
Xu Ruantang jokingly struck up a conversation with Li Shuyang, "I've seen you here for ages, do you want a hug?"
She could understand Li Shuyang's feelings.
When her younger brother's child was born, she had the same thought: the child was innocent, and after all, they were related to her by blood.
Shen Qingwen spoke up in time: "Shuyang, you can try. She's eaten and sleeping soundly, she'll be fine."
Li Shuyang didn't know what to do with his hands and feet, looking embarrassed: "Me? I can't, I'm scared."
He was actually very happy inside.
This is his sister's child, the little darling who will follow him around calling him "Uncle" in the future. Just looking at her makes my heart melt.
Mother Li walked over with a smile, "She's your niece, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid she'll fall."
Finally, encouraged by everyone, he reached out his hand.
He couldn't lift the child for a long time, completely unsure of where to start. The child was too soft for him to handle.
Li's mother stepped forward, picked up the child, and then slowly moved him into his arms.
The little girl smacked her lips twice in Li Shuyang's arms, snuggled up, and fell asleep peacefully.
Li Shuyang stood stiffly, not daring to move, which made everyone else laugh.
"Relax, she likes you a lot."
Xu Ruantang whispered to Li Shuyang, "I bet you'll be a doting father to your daughter after you get married."
Li Shuyang's affection for his little niece was almost overflowing, and Xu Ruantang could see it.
Wang Xiuxiu stayed in the ward with Xu Ruantang for a while. She still had to pick up Lu Xiaozhao from school, so she planned to go back.
Chen Ji arrived before I even left the ward.
He didn't come to see the children; he came to find a wife.
"Alright, does your wife have wings to fly away?" Mother Li teased with a laugh. "Go back quickly, Ruan Tang is pregnant, you should come to the hospital less often in the future."
Chen Ji smiled slightly, "Aunt Li, I'll bring my wife over after the baby's one-month celebration. We were in a rush today and didn't have time to prepare a red envelope for the baby."
