Chapter 1172: Xiao Mu's Moment of Triumph

Fu Yan Cheng brought the person to the doorstep, helped carry the items into the courtyard, turned around, and went back to the car to fetch several bags of milk powder.

Xiao Fu was nearly kicked into a wind-fire wheel by him; now he also rushed to the main gate: "Dad, take these bags of milk powder inside. I have matters to attend to, so I won't come in."

Xiao Fu did not stand on ceremony with his son-in-law, thinking it must have been arranged by the second daughter: "Alright, hurry and attend to your business, don't delay."

Saying this, he propped up the bicycle, quickly went up to take his son from his daughter-in-law's arms, and with his other hand loosely supported his own daughter-in-law who was preparing to get off the vehicle.

Xiao Mu did not know what she was thinking; she simply dawdled for a long time without getting off the vehicle.

Xiao Fu frowned and said: "Hurry up and get off the vehicle; Yan Cheng has matters to attend to."

Hearing the commotion, the neighbors on the left and right also came out, since they had already learned from the old couple Xiao that Zhao Lamei, who had conceived in old age, had given birth to a son: "Lamei, you're back?"

"Oh my, this child must have eaten quite a bit of precious things in the womb; look how fair and clean he looks."

Just as this person finished speaking, the hand lifting the swaddle was slapped away by Xiao Mu: "The child is still small and cannot withstand the wind."

"Oh my, look at me; I got so happy I couldn't control my hands, but this boy really does look good."

In fact, for a newborn only two days old, what could be seen? The thought was simply that speaking more pretty words cost nothing, at most wasting a bit of spit.

But this woman before them had a retired father-in-law above, an official elder brother-in-law, and below, a son-in-law who was an officer; although her own husband's job lacked the dignity of an office, the benefits and treatment were excellent, so currying favor was unavoidable.

At this moment, the man from the Cheng family next door also walked over: "Brother Xiao, congratulations."

Someone shouted in excitement: "The Xiao family has gained a son, which is a great joy; you must treat everyone so we can all share in the happiness."

Xiao Mu finally slowly got off the vehicle, the pride on her face impossible to hide: "That is for certain."

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at the watch on his wrist: "Dad, I must go; if I'm any later, I won't make it."

Xiao Fu quickly pulled Xiao Mu, who was still showing off to people: "Yan Cheng has matters; hurry and close the car door properly; he has to go."

Xiao Mu, currently being fawned over, was not angry: "Oh my, look at me, I was just talking to everyone. Yan Cheng, drive slowly on the road. Shi Tou is small and can't drink much milk powder for now; don't trouble yourself to find more for him. What your grandfather sent earlier is enough for him to drink for a while."

Fu Yan Cheng's eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly; he gave no reply, simply nodded toward outside the car, honked the horn once, and quickly drove away.

Although those neighbors were speaking with the mother-in-law, their eyes, openly and covertly, were all on him; without his wife's protection, he could not stay there even for a moment.

Just as he turned onto the main road, he saw the eldest sister-in-law's family rushing over in a hurry; he quickly pulled the car over to the roadside: "Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law."

Xia Qiu heard the sound and looked over: "Yan Cheng."

Fu Yan Cheng waited until they approached: "Did you come because you received news, or..."

Hearing the question, Xia Qiu smiled: "How could that be? I thought Mom's due date was these few days. Only upon arriving home did I learn Mom had gone to the hospital. Grandpa and Aunt Miao were not home then, so we went to the hospital. Unexpectedly, we took different routes; only upon arriving at the hospital did we learn Mom had been taken away by you, so we hurried back."

Remembering something, Xia Qiu asked: "When will Chuxue return?"
