Li Minxi went into labor, and it wasn't until after five in the morning the next day that she finally gave birth to a girl weighing seven jin and nine liang.
"How could it be a girl? Didn't you say it was a boy?"
Li Minxi asked Guo Xuyang as she looked at him.
"Would you have been happy if I had said it was a girl?
Besides, Niuniu already has two older brothers.
Our family can't just have a football team and a basketball team; we need a volleyball team too."
Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
"Look, she takes after you, doesn't she? Big eyes and a little mouth."
"Xiao Xi, Yangzi is right.
Our family can't just have a boys' team; we need a girls' team too.
We can try for another one after your body has recovered.
My mom can help us take care of them, anyway, since she's healthy enough now."
Wu Shangqing said, holding Li Minxi's hand.
"Mom? It's not that I dislike having a daughter; it's just that Yangzi deliberately lied to me."
"Didn't you ask when you had all those check-ups?"
"The doctor didn't say anything specific, just that she was developing very well and was very healthy."
"The doctor was right, wasn't he? Seven jin and nine liang is quite a size.
Alright, don't think too much about it. Get some rest.
You've been through a day and a night, and you must be exhausted."
Wu Shangqing comforted her.
"This little girl is so troublesome; all she does is torment me."
Li Minxi said resentfully.
"You shouldn't talk about her like that. She can understand you,"
Guo Xuyang said, looking at Niuniu, who was wide-eyed.
"So what if she can understand? Am I not even allowed to say a few words as a mother?"
"Alright, alright, say no more. Aren't you tired yet?
Yangzi, you get out of here. Don't upset Xiao Xi."
Wu Shangqing said.
"Mom, I just want to look at Niuniu a little longer.
See if she's listening to us?"
"Get out. Little Niuniu needs to rest too.
She's just managed to crawl out of her nest; she doesn't have the energy to entertain you. Hurry up and get out."
Guo Xuyang was driven out of the ward by Wu Shangqing, who was scolding and nagging him.
"What's wrong? Got scolded? Who told you to say such ridiculous things?
Xiao Xi is unhappy about having a daughter, and you're adding fuel to the fire. If you don't get scolded, who will?" Xiao Yun said with a smile as she saw Guo Xuyang come out of the ward.
"Are your ears that sharp? How could you hear so clearly?"
"We've been waiting outside the whole time.
Director Yin Hong has been busy for a day and a night; aren't you going to thank her?"
"She's not finished yet. Did you go?"
"Xia Li and Wu Jia have gone. You should go too.
We'll need to trouble them a lot in the next couple of days."
"Have you guys eaten?"
"No. We're not hungry."
"Is everything alright here?
You should all go back and rest. You'll have to stay here for at least three or four days, right?
Don't wear yourselves out.
And you two, what are you doing here joining the fun? Hurry up and go back to rest."
Guo Xuyang said to Guo Yiyang and Lin Zixuan.
"It's fine; we lay down in bed for a while last night."
"That's not good enough. If you're like this, the baby won't rest well either.
Go back. You can come back in the afternoon.
All of you go back. We'll just have Wu Jia and Yang Bin stay here."
Guo Xuyang said to everyone.
"Mom can't be alone; someone needs to stay with her.
She didn't close her eyes all night yesterday."
Xiao Yun said.
"Yu'er and Yezi can stay.
Everyone else, go back.
I'm going to check on Director Yin. Xia Li will also go back later.
You all go back and get some good rest. Come back in the afternoon.
After you get back, just tell Xiao Hong and the others."
"You should call Xiao Xi's parents and tell them the good news, don't forget."
Xiao Yun reminded him.
