Yang Chenggong looked at the time and it was getting late, stood up with a smile, "Xiangjun, Xiao Wei, Old Yang, we’re heading back now. Shall we eat at the restaurant tonight?"

"Better not. The kids are focusing now, and frankly, I don’t want to have dinner with you."

"Cheeky brat, invite me for a meal when you have time."

"Sure."

After seeing off the Yang couple, Yang Run Tai stayed behind.

He also went into the study; this wasn’t his first time listening to Master Shang’s lectures. They were truly interesting.

Lv Beiguang and Guodong stood up as well, "The two of us are heading to the factory."

"Xiao Jiang, the Master Wu I found for them, there are two, do you want to choose?"

"Old Han, what do I know about this? You just handle it."

"Alright, there’s a female comrade; she’s extremely skilled. I’m inclined to let her go."

Jiang Xinyu looked at Wei Kaiyun.

"Alright, let’s have Dong Hong go then."

"Then let her leave with you guys; I’ll notify her once I’ve booked the tickets."

"Alright, let her come along. It’s mainly to let Shi Xian get familiar with her."

Han Xiangjun nodded with a smile.

The snow here has already melted; I guess by the time we get to the Northeast, it’ll have thawed there too.

"The ticket booking is handled by He Run; let’s ask him the specifics and timing later."

"Okay, let’s leave in the next few days."

Yang Chenggong and his wife took people directly back home.

"This Wei Family really shouldn’t be underestimated; I finally understand why He Run loves going over there."

"Hmm, but they don’t recognize our family."

"Over time, with more interactions, things will get better. Just seeing the house they live in, you know they’re just lying low for now."

"Hmm, probably. But I’ve heard from He Run that both are factory directors at the textile factories. If they made money over there, it wouldn’t go undiscovered, nor would they pass through so easily."

"Han Xiangjun has insight and intelligence; look at Jianbin? He used to be a simple kid, now he’s changed a lot; this is why I want the two kids to learn from them. One becomes red by being close to red ink, and black by being close to black ink."

Wu Fengying nodded, understanding her husband’s intent. She’s not one to cling tightly to the children. As long as the kids can thrive, that’s all that matters.

"Let’s hope He Run can find a way."

"Old Yang, I suspect they might not be interested in our kids, Xiao Jie’s temperament—you know it. Something unfortunate probably happened in the dining hall."

"Possibly. This girl needs to be managed."

Parents always want the best for their children. At a time when their thoughts aren’t mature, provide proper guidance.

Jiang Xinyu knew they would leave in the next few days, so she started packing many things that wouldn’t be needed, putting truly valuable items into the space.

She suddenly remembered that Du Fengying should be delivering soon. Hurriedly instructed Wei Kaiyun, "Go buy infant formula, buy a lot. The sister Du is about to deliver, and she’s older, might not have enough milk. So let’s take some back with us."

"Alright, I’ll help you with the work first. We’ll definitely get the formula."

This time Jiang Xinyu didn’t plan to bring gifts back. There were just too many, too many people to give to, so she decided not to give anything to anyone, making it easy.

Jiang Xinyu was exactly right; Du Fengying was in labor right now.

It scared Lu Tiezhu terribly. He was driven out, pacing in circles in the yard.

Even though it’s already zero degrees during the daytime now, not as cold, but temperatures are still low, Secretary Lv was still drenched in sweat.

Xie Chunfen and the village’s Dazhuang’s wife were inside the house.

"No worries, the position is quite right, and the baby isn’t too big. As long as you cooperate with me, not only will it not be too painful, but the baby will come out quickly."

"Doctor Xie, I listen to you, I understand."

"Hehe, don’t be nervous; that one outside is more nervous than you. Once you safely deliver the baby, you’ll need one less pair of shoes in the future."

Du Fengying let out a snort of laughter. But immediately her face returned to a look of pain.

Roughly two hours passed, and Lu Tiezhu heard the baby’s cry, and his eyes turned red.

So moved, he nearly shed tears. He’s a traditional man, always feeling inferior for not having a child.

Now, at this age, he finally had a child. How could he not be emotional?

He happily crouched by the door, listening to the commotion inside.

Yet, he didn’t dare make a sound for fear of disturbing the interior.

"Fengying, congratulations, it’s a boy."

Du Fengying’s exhaustion vanished; she is a traditional woman, and in her belief, having a son means having continuity.

Though Lu Tiezhu always said having a daughter is the same, she knew deep down he hoped for a son.

Now, it’s a son; she finally had a son.

Lu Tiezhu felt like he had been waiting out there for ages, actually just half an hour.

Dazhuang’s wife came to open the door, "Master Lu, congratulations. My aunt gave birth to a big baby boy for you. He’s chubby; we just weighed him, six pounds."

"How’s my aunt?"

"My aunt is fine; right now Doctor Xie is helping clean up; it’ll be ready soon."

Lu Tiezhu finally eased up, suddenly realizing he now had a son.

The Lu family finally had a successor; ever since marrying that wife, he made up his mind on having no descendants.

Unexpectedly at forty-something, he suddenly had a son.

He stood at the door grinning foolishly, making Dazhuang’s wife laugh.

At this time, Xie Chunfen had finished tidying up, remarkably, at Du Fengying’s age, for a first birth, delivering successfully, and the placenta was expelled cleanly and swiftly.

Seeing Doctor Xie come out with a smile, Lu Tiezhu immediately pulled out two red envelopes from his pocket, handing the large one to Xie Chunfen and the small one to Dazhuang’s wife.

"Thank you, Doctor Xie, thank you so much."

"Master Lu, we won’t be polite. I have to congratulate you again. Fengying is quite healthy. You must take good care of her during this postpartum period."

"Definitely, definitely. Doctor Xie, I remember everything you told me before. But if there’s anything unclear, I’ll have to trouble Doctor Xie."

"What’s troubling about it? If there’s anything, or anything you don’t understand, just ask me. Alright, I’ll help you get the chicken soup going, and prepare the pig’s trotters."

"Doctor Xie has everything ready."

"Alright, I’ll teach you how to make soup for the postpartum woman.

Actually, boiling it in plain water, add some green onion and ginger to remove the gamey smell, add a bit of salt when it’s almost done.

But don’t make it salty, otherwise, if the baby drinks milk, it’s easy for them to have heat and inflamed eyes."

"Got it, got it."

"Also, I’ll come again tonight, check if Fengying’s milk comes down. For now, just give this little one some water to drink."
