Zhou Ying, without mincing words, said, "Of course! My sister-in-law is so beautiful! There aren't many who are prettier than her!" Then she teased the child, gently touching her delicate face with her finger, and said, "Oh... little darling, call me auntie, call me grandma, call me second auntie..."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard Zhou Ying's words; this child naturally didn't understand anything.
Immediately afterwards, the attending physician, a woman in her forties, came over to examine Fu Ying. When she saw Fu Ying's radiant expression, she was taken aback. How could she have such good energy just one or two hours after giving birth? Moreover, Fu Ying was sitting down and there was no sign of any discomfort.
The doctor immediately examined Fu Ying, asking her questions as he looked at her, such as how she felt here and there. Fu Ying moved her body around, trying different places, and shook her head in response, saying that everything was fine, she was healthy, and had plenty of energy.
"That doctor is really strange." But there are women who are healthy and strong, and childbirth is not a major operation. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you insist on being discharged, that's fine too. I think you are in good physical condition and can recuperate at home!"
She didn't know that Fu Ying's body was exactly the same as it had been after three months of recuperation. If she were to examine Fu Ying's surgical wound again, she might be shocked. The wound was completely healed, and the stitches had been absorbed by Zhou Xuan using his supernatural abilities. Even if she had to go to the hospital to have the stitches removed in a few days, she wouldn't need to come back.
Fu Ying's body, whether internal or external injuries, has recovered to 90%. Even the doctor, after examining her, said in surprise, "Strange, how could she recover so quickly?"
Fu Ying herself knew that it was all thanks to Zhou Xuan's abilities, but of course she couldn't tell the others or the doctor.
"I feel great, doctor. I'd like to go home. It'll be more convenient at home!" Fu Ying said directly to the doctor. The doctor was surprised to see that Fu Ying's mental state and physical tests were both very good. He immediately nodded in agreement, but then gave some instructions on how to deal with the symptoms that might occur at home.
Then Zhou Ying and Li Li went to complete the discharge procedures. After arriving at the hospital, Zhou Ying drove her car out of the parking lot. When Zhou Xuan was about to help Fu Ying, Fu Ying had already walked a few steps to the car, opened the door, and got in.
Jin Xiumei frowned. This daughter-in-law was really too carefree. It was a good thing that she didn't have the spoiled temper of a rich lady, but being too carefree wasn't good either. She had just given birth and was still in her postpartum period. If she wasn't careful, she might develop gynecological problems later, which wouldn't be good for her.
Jin Xiumei and Zhou Xuan got into the car one on each side and sat next to Fu Ying, surrounding her in the middle, while Li Li took the child and sat in the front passenger seat next to Zhou Ying, just enough for everyone.
After everyone was seated, Zhou Ying slowly started the car, keeping the speed very slow. The car was of good quality; among the family's cars, hers was the best, costing nearly a million yuan. Everyone else's cars, including Fu Ying's own, were worth five or six hundred thousand yuan. The car drove home smoothly all the way.
These past few days, Zhou Ying and Li Wei have been at their own homes, not with Zhou Xuan. Old Li is in low spirits because of his grandfather's passing, and his family is worried. They have been going home to be with Old Li almost every day after get off work.
Zhou Tao and Li Li also moved in because Fu Ying was about to give birth. Only her parents were in the villa. After the wedding, as arranged by Zhou Xuan, she and Zhou Tao brought the elderly couple to live with them.
After Zhou Ying drove back to Hongcheng Square, Zhou Xuan suddenly remembered that Wei Xiaoqing was going to see Xiao Sizhou ahead. He wondered if she had left yet. If she hadn't, then she would run into Fu Ying, and Fu Ying might get angry. Normally it would be fine, but today was the day Fu Ying was giving birth, so even if she was angry, he wouldn't say anything.
Jin Xiumei, feeling sorry for her daughter-in-law, rushed to help Fu Ying as soon as she got out of the car. Zhou Xuan got out of the car from the other side and hurriedly ran to the front to open the door. He strode into the living room and looked around to see if Wei Xiaoqing was there.
In the living room, only Aunt Liu was holding and playing with Xiao Sizhou. There was no one else around. Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could ask Aunt Liu anything, Jin Xiumei helped Fu Ying in, Li Li carried the child, and Zhou Ying drove to the garage.
Aunt Liu was somewhat surprised to see everyone back, not expecting Fu Ying to be discharged from the hospital so quickly. Seeing Li Li holding the baby, she immediately put Xiao Sizhou in the stroller, then helped Fu Ying to sit down on the sofa. She then went over and took the baby from Li Li's arms to examine him, praising him repeatedly, "This child is exceptionally bright and beautiful, just like Miss Yingying!"
This is not flattery or praise; Zhou Xuan's daughter is indeed beautiful, so much so that one can't help but want to hug and kiss her upon seeing her.
The child stared wide-eyed at Aunt Liu, but after a few moments, he pouted and burst into tears. The child's crying immediately threw the whole family into a panic, and everyone frantically searched for formula and bottles. Zhou Ying took out one of Xiao Si Zhou's new bottles, put a tiny bit of his formula in it, added some warm water to dilute it a little, and then gave it to the child to drink.
As soon as the pacifier was put into the child's mouth, the child stopped crying and sucked on the milk in big gulps. Watching the child's fair face and the rise and fall of her little cheeks was very cute. After she finished about 30 milliliters of milk, she stopped crying and fell asleep again after a few minutes.
Newborn babies only wake up briefly when they are eating; otherwise, they spend the vast majority of their time sleeping and rarely cry.
Jin Xiumei immediately instructed Zhou Xuan, "Son, go to the supermarket and buy some baby formula. Xiao Sizhou drinks stage two, which is for babies four to six or seven months old. Babies one or two months old and newborns shouldn't drink it." Also, buy two bottles. Remember, they must be silicone or glass. "They say plastic bottles are toxic; the TV keeps talking about the toxicity of plasticizers. So, we can't use plastic bottles!"
Zhou Xuan had bought these at the supermarket before for Xiao Sizhou, so they were quite familiar with the place. However, despite having been looking forward to their daughter's birth for a long time, the family was still caught off guard and hadn't prepared anything. Back in their hometown, people in the countryside use torn old clothes as diapers, so they didn't need to prepare anything. But in the city, everything a baby needs after birth is bought from the supermarket, and there are special ones available. So, they hadn't prepared anything, and now, they could say they had nothing at home. The ones Xiao Sizhou was using were also too big for her.
Although Zhou Xuan was flustered, he was much more experienced this time than last time. He bought milk powder, baby bottles, diapers, and other baby supplies at the supermarket at the entrance of the community. He bought almost everything that a baby would need, filled two large bags, and then carried them home.
When they got home, the child was still fast asleep, placed on the sofa next to Fu Ying. He was sleeping in an adorable position, with his little hands by his ears.
Zhou Xuan couldn't help but lean down and kiss her. Zhou Ying asked, "Brother, what name are you going to give our little niece?"
Zhou Ying's words immediately drew everyone's attention, and everyone started talking, especially Zhou Ying herself, who said a lot of things like "Zhou Hua Zhou Xiang," which made everyone laugh.
Even Jin Xiumei scolded, "A man who abandoned his wife and still doesn't have a proper wife, how could you give this little girl such a rustic name? When she grows up and finds out that her aunt named her, won't she be furious?"
Zhou Ying said with a grin, "What do you mean by 'rustic'? People nowadays are into the rustic charm; it's called returning to simplicity!"
Whether it was a return to simplicity or not, everyone knew she was joking, and the child certainly wouldn't have that name. Just then, Li Wei and Zhou Tao returned. Seeing everyone chasing after and hugging the child, they all gathered around. Li Wei couldn't help but exclaim, "What a beautiful little girl!"
Previously, both he and Zhou Tao had received good news from Zhou Ying, saying that her sister-in-law had given birth to a daughter, so they arranged for people to go to work and returned home early.
Zhou Ying said, "Li Wei, everyone is trying to name their little niece. You're so good with words, so hurry up and give her a nice name!"
Li chuckled and said, "Naming a name is a piece of cake. How about Zhou Rong or Zhou Yun?"
Zhou Xuan was immediately dissatisfied upon hearing this, while Fu Ying herself disagreed and shook her head. Li Wei then asked, "What about Zhou Zhi?"
Zhou Xuan chuckled and mocked, "Then it would be better to call her Zhou Zhiruo!"
Li Wei also said awkwardly, "Calling her Zhou Zhiruo is fine, but Zhou Zhiruo's fate is bad. My niece's fate is more than ten thousand times better than hers!"
Jin Xiumei was not well-educated and couldn't think of a good name, so she simply remained silent.
Fu Ying thought for a moment and said, "Zhou Xuan, let's name our daughter Zhou Sisi. Our son's name is Si Zhou, and our daughter's name is Si Si. It sounds like we're from the same generation!"
Zhou Xuan laughed and said, "Great! This name is nice. It sounds interesting. Sisi is a nice-sounding and easy-to-pronounce name, and it's similar to Si Zhou. Not bad at all, let's call her Sisi!"
Jin Xiumei and Zhou Ying had no objection to the name. A girl's name should be gentle, and the name Sisi sounded pleasant to the ear.
Babies are very sleepy. They will sleep for several hours after eating, and at least 20 hours out of 24 hours. When they wake up, they will only eat or urinate.
Originally, Fu Ying was supposed to be quite sleepy after giving birth, but after Zhou Xuan used his supernatural power to restore her physique, she was in great spirits and not sleepy at all. She chatted and talked with Zhou Ying, Li Li and others with great interest. The addition of two children to the family brought even more joy and happiness. Zhou Cangsong also returned early. With the addition of a granddaughter, the matter of wanting a grandson was perfectly resolved.
Volume 1, Chapter 628: Conspiracy
After his daughter Sisi was born, Zhou Xuan prepared to return to his hometown. After finishing everything, it was time to set off.
Two weeks later, everything was basically arranged. The main issue was the legal representative of Zhou Zhangdian and Zhou's Jewelry. Zhou Xuan didn't find this too difficult. The shareholdings weren't changed much; he just gave a written appointment. Zhou Tao and Zhou Ying both had shares in the antique shop and Zhou's Jewelry, so they were actually in charge. Zhang Jian was in charge of the antique shop, and Xu Juncheng was in charge of the jewelry company. There was nothing to change; things would remain the same. Zhou Xuan simply delegated the authority for major incidents to Zhou Tao, Zhou Ying, Li Wei, and Li Li. He stipulated that any major operational or economic issues required the unanimous approval of all four before implementation.
Having resolved these matters, Zhou Xuan could say he was really fine. However, he still had to say goodbye to Li Wei's family and Wei Haihong. He was quite reluctant to part with Li Wei's family. Old Li and his son Li Lei were reluctant to let Zhou Xuan leave and wanted him to stay, but Zhou Xuan was determined to go, so they couldn't do anything about it. After having a quiet meal at their house, he went home.
The next morning, Zhou Xuan arrived at Wei Haihong's house early to say goodbye. Wei Haihong set out tea, and the two sat quietly at the tea table. The seat next to Wei Haihong was empty; the place where the old man used to sit was now empty. It truly brought back memories. Wei Haihong's eyes were red. More than half a month had passed, but he still couldn't let go of the old man's death, and he had lost a lot of weight.
Zhou Xuan paused for a moment, sighed, and then said, "Brother Hong, I'm going back to my hometown!"
