Looking at the baby in Fang Yue'e's arms, who was nursing happily, she asked, "Where's the baby?"
"It's all good. Although it was premature, it weighed six pounds. The doctor checked it and there were no problems. He just told us to come back and take good care of it."
Li Xiyue was completely relieved. The baby was only seven months old and already weighed six pounds, which showed that Xu Dashan was taking good care of his wife.
Fang Yue'e looked at the child in her arms and smiled, saying, "You saved both my life and the child's. Dashan and I have discussed having the child recognize you as his godmother."
Li Xiyue: "..."
Isn't that really unnecessary?
“However, the brigade leader said that since you are not married yet, adopting a godparent would affect your marriage. So we were planning to have the child recognize you as his sister. But then we thought, you are so outstanding, we can’t take advantage of you.”
At this point, she sighed, "Li Zhiqing, we don't know how to repay your great kindness."
She wasn't just being polite; she genuinely didn't know how to repay her.
Li Xiyue said, "I am a doctor, saving lives is my duty. Besides, Uncle Dashan has already given a thank-you gift, so let's not talk about gratitude anymore."
“You saved my life and my child’s life, no, three lives. If something had happened to me and my child, Dashan wouldn’t have survived either. You saved our whole family, how can we not repay you?” Fang Yue’e shook her almost asleep child. “But there’s plenty of time, no rush, we’ll repay you slowly.”
The food was ready, but Fang Yue'e was still in her postpartum confinement period and couldn't go out. Xu Dashan brought the food into the house before going out to entertain the guests.
The wine Xu Guoqiang brought was the same bottle that Li Xiyue had drunk at his house that day, and Xu Xiangyang poured it for everyone.
Xu Dashan raised his glass and said excitedly, "I'd like to toast everyone. If it weren't for everyone here, my family would have already... sigh, never mind, it's all in the wine." He then drank the glass to the brim.
Everyone drank the wine in their glasses.
Xu Dashan filled everyone's cups again, toasting each one to his benefactor. Finally, he filled one cup, looked at Li Xiyue, and seemed to have a thousand words to say. "This cup is for you, Li Zhiqing. Thank you for saving my wife and children, and for saving me too... I'm a rough guy and not very good at talking. I'll just say this: if you need anything in the future, just ask your uncle. Your uncle will definitely help you."
Li Xiyue smiled gently, "Uncle Dashan, you're too kind."
"I'll finish mine, you can drink as you like." Xu Dashan tilted his head back and drank it all.
Li Xiyue also downed her drink.
Xu Guoqiang also raised his glass to Li Xiyue, saying, "Today, taking advantage of this meal in the mountains, I would also like to toast Li Xiyue. You have brought glory to the team, and on behalf of the entire production team, I thank you."
Uncle Xu also said, "Even the old man shamelessly used other people's money to toast the girl with a glass of wine."
Li Xiyue blushed deeply. Everyone present was an elder, and she was the youngest. They all came to toast her, how could she accept that?
However, she returned the toast to each of them.
Xu Xiangyang watched silently. She had already drunk several glasses without changing her expression, so it seemed she had a good alcohol tolerance.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely, and it wasn't until late at night that everyone happily departed.
"On National Day, you take Sister Li back to the educated youth settlement," Uncle Xu said to his grandson.
Xu Lanlan fell asleep, held by Sun Xia. Hu Zi was also sleepy and lay on Xu Guoqiang's back. Grandma Yu was too old to see the road clearly, and he himself had drunk a few more cups because he was happy and was a little drunk.
As for Xu Xiangyang, he wouldn't agree to send someone off, so the task of sending them off fell to his still energetic grandson.
Li Xiyue refused, "I have Xiaobai with me, nothing will happen, there's no need to see me off."
“How can that be? Even if Xiaobai is here, you’re still a young lady. It’s not safe for you to go home alone so late,” Xu Guoqiang said.
Xu Xiangyang, who had been silent until now, said, "Let Guoqing accompany Uncle Liu back, and I'll take Li Zhiqing back."
Everyone: "..."
Has the sun risen in the west again?
