Chapter 1613: Fu Yanwan Has Given Birth

Now, following the principle of simplicity, the old master's body lay in state at home for two days before being cremated on the third.

In accordance with the old master's prior wishes, after cremation, he was taken to the public cemetery to be buried alongside Grandma Fu, who had passed away long ago.

Once the funeral rites were concluded, it was not until the next day that Liu Chuxue returned to the military district with the triplets.

The weather had been excellent these past few days; upon entering the courtyard, they saw it filled with dried vegetables laid out to dry.

With no one else at home but Wei Wenbin, Liu Chuxue was truly moved by the boy's diligence; she hadn't expected that in their few days away, he had taken all the ripe vegetables and dried them.

Liu Chuxue looked at Auntie Wei and said, "This child Wenbin has a good heart; from now on, you just sit back and enjoy your fortune."

With her grandson praised, Auntie Wei's face was all smiles.

In truth, she hadn't expected it either, and felt deeply gratified in her heart.

As soon as they settled in, Wei Wenbin came rushing back in a panic: "Grandma, Auntie, I'm back."

Seeing his own grandmother coming out of the kitchen, he asked, "Where are Fu Bao and the others?"

Auntie Wei pointed to the main hall: "They are in the main hall."

Wei Wenbin ran straight in: "Fu Bao, Lebao, Kangbao, did you miss your big brother?"

The three little ones had already looked out the moment they heard Wei Wenbin's voice; now they stretched out their arms, each one overjoyed.

Wei Wenbin hugged each of them in turn: "Look, big brother dried lots of vegetables for you; in a few months you'll be able to eat vegetable bits, and then Grandma will make you delicious food."

Liu Chuxue, her eyebrows curved in a smile, asked, "How did you know?"

Wei Wenbin's small face was perfectly serious as he said, "I saw that the children in the family compound can start eating soft rice and dishes after their first birthday.

Our little ones start smacking their lips and wanting to taste food as soon as mealtime comes; I thought that when they turn one, the weather will still be cold with no fresh vegetables, so I wanted to dry some for them to eat then."

Liu Chuxue was moved by Wei Wenbin once again; to outsiders, it seemed they were caring for the Wei grandfather and grandson, but for them, how was it not the Wei grandmother and grandson who had helped the couple greatly?

After spending so much time together, they had truly come to regard each other as family; she was now thinking that if things continued like this, it might not be a bad thing.

Whether it was Auntie Wei or the child Wenbin, their kindness toward their whole family was truly comforting.

Time passed swiftly; soon it was October, and finally the phone call bringing good news from Ren Jiangfeng arrived: "Is Xiao Wan doing well?"

"Fourth Sister-in-law, rest assured; this pregnancy went quite smoothly, Xiao Wan suffered little, and both mother and child are in very good condition."

"That's good, that's good; it's too late today, so I'll go see the mother and child tomorrow."

After hanging up and returning, she picked up Lebao, who was closest to her: "Lebao, your little aunt has given birth to a baby brother for you; you are now big brother and big sister."

Hearing this, Auntie Wei asked, "Xiao Wan has given birth?"

"Yes, she has; mother and child are safe. That's wonderful. Auntie, I'll be going to the city tomorrow, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to watch over these three little rascals."

Auntie Wei's hand did not stop her work on the shoe sole, and her face was all smiles: "Our triplets can understand words now and are very easy to handle; you go ahead without worry."

The next day, when she arrived at the hospital and saw her sister-in-law, the latter had just finished feeding the baby: "Has your milk come in?"

Fu Yanwan's face was all smiles as she whispered to Liu Chuxue, "Fourth Sister-in-law, as soon as I finished giving birth, I drank that medicinal water you gave me earlier; after eating last night, my milk came in, and it's plentiful; the mother in the next bed was so envious she cried."

Seeing Liu Chuxue didn't understand, she whispered, "She still hasn't produced milk; at first, no formula was prepared for the baby, so the child was starving and crying nonstop. Finally, the mother in the bed farthest out, worried her son's rest would be disturbed, gave two spoonfuls of formula, which calmed the baby down."
