After all this, Su Ziling was already very sleepy, and his eyes were about to close. Su's mother's face was full of heartache, and her tone was a little softer, "You go to sleep for a while, your grandmother and I are taking care of the child. We will call you when she is hungry later."

Su Ziling didn't even have the energy to reply, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Su's mother and Su's grandmother also left, leaving a female doctor here to look after the family.

When they went out, they saw Mr. Su, Su's father, and Su Zizhong waiting at the door. When they saw them come out, they took a half step forward and asked, "How is it?"

"Everything is fine, mother and daughter are safe. Xiaoqing and the child are asleep now, so let's keep quiet." Su's mother gently closed the door.

A group of people walked towards the old house. "Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu?" Mother Su turned around to look for Lu Yan. "After dinner, you and your eldest brother will go to your uncle's house to announce the good news. You should also go to your sister-in-law's family and the Bai family."

"We've been close for the past two years, so it's not good to miss it. Whether we say it or not is our business, and whether they come or not is their business. Don't let anyone say that this is too polite. I won't set up a stall today. You can ask Twenty to go to Wang's house."

"The Bai family asked your father to go, but he still has to go to the county to tell your third aunt and the others."

Su's mother carefully instructed which families needed to announce the good news, and Lu Yan wrote them down one by one.

"Okay, I've got that." Lu Yan didn't quite understand, so he took the responsibility to do what Su's mother and Su's grandmother told him to do.

"Oh, right," Su's mother suddenly remembered, "ask your uncle to catch two more fish for you, and come back to make soup for Xiaoqing. I'm afraid she'll get tired of drinking chicken soup every day."

After arranging all this, they hurried back to cook. After having a couple of bites, Su Zizhong took Lu Yan to his uncle's house in Liushugou to announce the good news, and then went to Wang's house.

The Bai family asked Su's father to go. There was a lot of noise in the morning and several families nearby noticed it.

"Pei Lan, is your Xiao Qing giving birth?"

"Oh, it's born, it's born."

"What is it? A boy or a girl?"

"I gave birth to a big fat girl. Come to my house for dinner later."

"Well, it's fine. We have to eat this meal. This girl is great. If we give birth to a girl, she will be as smart and capable as your Xiaoqing. They say that girls take after their fathers. When she grows up, she will definitely be the one to knock on the door."

"Yes, yes, as the saying goes: flowers bloom before fruits grow, and the next baby will be a son."

Mother Su smiled and said, "The daughter's and son's are the same, but I still like the eldest granddaughter's more."

Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, and within the time it took to eat a meal, the news that Su Ziling had given birth to a daughter spread throughout the village.

The two aunts-in-law came very quickly, as did Su Yongan's mother. Because he was the shopkeeper of a restaurant, the Su family took good care of their family, so they should come and visit at this time.

Then there is Liu Guilan's family, Ji Yunchu, and Su Yonghe's family. Su Yonghe has gone to another county, and Su Yongning is in the workshop, so his grandmother is the only one at home.

He was a grown man and didn't understand any of this. When he heard that Su Ziling had given birth and so many people had come, he ran back to ask her grandmother and finally carried her to the Su family.

For a while, the Su family was extremely lively.

The two aunts went to see the child and came back praising her, "Oh, I think the child takes after her father, she is really pretty."

"It looks like she takes after Xiaoqing, with her small nose and small, pink mouth."

"Oh, right, I caught a hen, an old one. Remember to kill it and make soup for Xiaoqing. The older the chicken is, the more nutritious it is, so you just need to stew it more often."

The third aunt-in-law was extremely excited. In the past few years, Su Ziling and his family had really taken good care of their families.

"As for chickens, we have some at home. Let's save them for the third son's wife next time. She's about to give birth."

"It's still early for her. Besides, we have chickens at home."

My fourth uncle’s wife has few chickens but many ducks. “I don’t have any old hens at home, but I do have a few old ducks. I’ll catch two for you later. By the way, do you have enough eggs? I have saved some at home.”

"That's enough. That's enough. There are enough eggs. Come over to my house for dinner later."

There were three tables for dinner, with chicken, duck, and the fish that Lu Yan brought back.

Li Dazhu directly caught two buckets of fish for him and carried them back. The fish were not particularly big, but they were just right for making soup.

The old house was bustling with activity, but Su Ziling's side was deserted. She had already woken up, but the child was still sleeping.

When Lu Yan entered the room carrying the fish soup, he saw Su Ziling poking his daughter's face.

"Fell asleep?"

"Yeah," Su Ziling responded, her eyes never leaving her eldest daughter, "She's really good at sleeping. She sleeps when she's full and eats when she wakes up, just like a little piglet."

"All children are like this," Lu Yan put the fish soup aside, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, I feel much better." After drinking chicken soup at noon and taking a nap, he felt much better now. "What are we having for dinner tonight? Is there a lot of people in the old house? It feels quite lively."

"I made fish soup for you. My uncle caught some fish this morning. He said he kept it for you. My mother killed a chicken and a duck and invited a few families on good terms to set up a table together."

"Want to drink now?"

Su Ziling shook his head. "Let me rinse my mouth. I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Okay, I'll get you some water." Lu Yan went out and brought her some hot water. She simply rinsed her mouth and washed her face before starting to drink the fish soup.

She thought it was okay at first, but after a few more sips, she couldn't drink it anymore, "It's so bland."

Thinking that she would have to live like this for another month, she felt numb. She had a strong taste for strong foods and had been on a diet when she was pregnant. Now drinking this without salt or ingredients was really not very tasty.

As for the children's surnames, the couple agreed on it when she was pregnant. The first child would have the surname Su, and the second would have the surname Lu Yan.

Her nickname is Youyou, and her full name is Su Ning.

"Have you told your elder brother and godfather the good news?"

"The message has been sent. I don't know if she can come to the full moon banquet. As for the Bai family, grandma has also asked someone to talk to them."

The couple spoke softly, and Youyou was sleeping particularly soundly beside them.

Su Ziling nodded, "What should I say? Where are Third Aunt and the others?"

"I've also asked someone to notify you. I've also bought you a pig's trotter and will stew it for you tomorrow morning."

Seeing that she had finished eating, Lu Yan took the bowl away and said, "You take a rest first. I'll be back after I send the bowl and chopsticks over."

"You haven't eaten yet? Go eat quickly. You don't have to stay with me. I'm fine. Youyou has fallen asleep. Besides, there's a doctor here."
