Chapter 973: Your Eldest Sister Gave Birth to a Son on Her First Try; This Is Great News

Since the mother and son hadn't mentioned it, Liu Chuxue pretended not to hear; it wasn't that she was hard-hearted, but she feared causing trouble for Fu Yan Cheng, after all, the car he drove was borrowed from a close comrade-in-arms.

Before, she had been an atheist, but now that she had transmigrated here, she felt some concerns in her heart.

Moreover, she truly did not want to get involved in An Xiaojing's affairs or tie herself to the An family; after all, she was no saint, and the health station was only about twenty minutes' walk from the Qiu family home.

Seeing her youngest son turn to leave, Qiu Mu opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing more.

Liu Chuxue did not want to seek trouble; she turned to her eldest sister-in-law, Qiu Shaomei, and said, "Wait for me a moment; I'll go ask the Physician about taboos and will be back shortly."

Xiao Fu glanced at everyone in the room, drew his gaze back, and sat there quietly watching Xia Qiu.

After asking the Physician many questions, Liu Chuxue called Qiu Shaomei to prepare to return.

Before they even left the health station, she spotted Fu Yan Cheng in the gatehouse, chatting happily with Grandpa Liu Qi.

Before she could speak, Fu Yan Cheng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head: "Grandpa Qi, Chuxue is out; let's talk later."

Liu Chuxue stepped forward and greeted Liu Laoqi: "Grandpa Qi, we have matters to attend to and must take our leave."

The health station was not large to begin with, and there were only two women in labor today; he had long known that Xia Qiu had given birth to a son: "Go ahead, go ahead; your eldest sister gave birth to a son on her first try; this is great news."

Seeing Liu Chuxue approach, Fu Yan Cheng asked, "How shall we arrange it?"

Liu Chuxue looked into his bright, spirited eyes: "Let's first return to my brother-in-law's house to bring the chicken soup to my eldest sister."

No further explanation was needed; Fu Yan Cheng understood her meaning.

Chunxiao ran out after them: "Shaomei, your mother said to bring some steamed buns from home."

Qiu Shaomei raised her hand and said, "Okay."

When the car arrived at the Qiu family home, Qiu Shaohu was just preparing to return the vehicle.

They had barely returned when this man drove up immediately after; he felt very displeased but, due to Fu Yan Cheng's status, ultimately dared not speak up.

As soon as Qiu Shaomei got out of the car, Aunt Qi from next door came out: "Shaomei, I've kept the chicken soup warm on the stove for you; fearing someone might sully it, I specially used my own lock to secure the kitchen, and I'll go open it for you right away."

Qiu Shaomei, who knew how to handle social situations, said, "Auntie, thank you so much; you've seen so much in life, while I simply didn't think of that."

Flattered by the praise, Aunt Qi's face beamed with smiles: "Just now, I heard your second brother say your eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a son?"

Qiu Shaomei nodded heavily with a smile: "Yes, exactly six jin; that child will grow up to be fine, picking out only the best traits from my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law."

As Aunt Qi walked toward the kitchen in the courtyard, she teased, "Your mother must be so happy she can't find her way."

Hearing this, Qiu Shaomei couldn't help but laugh: "You know my mother best."

Aunt Qi nodded to Liu Chuxue, who was getting out of the car on the other side, then hurried into the courtyard; after unlocking the kitchen door, she said, "Smell that? It's fragrant."

Aunt Qi did not stay long: "Shaomei, you're busy; I still have things to do at home, so I'll head back now."

After thanking Aunt Qi, Qiu Shaomei turned to Liu Chuxue, who had followed inside, and said, "Wait a moment; I'll be done immediately."

First, she ladled a small bowl and brought it to Great-Grandmother Qiu's room: "Great-Grandmother, hot chicken soup is here; today you've gained another great-great-grandson; come, have a bowl of chicken soup to celebrate."

Upon hearing this, Great-Grandmother Qiu seemed much more spirited: "Your eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a boy?"

Qiu Shaomei nodded: "Yes, a boy; I'll put the chicken soup on the kang table for you to drink slowly; I'll go get busy now, as I still have to return to the hospital later."
