Tan Xi Yuan gave birth, a son was born.
Gu Ya made chicken soup and went to see her.
Tan Xi Yuan was delighted to see the chicken soup brought by Gu Ya and exclaimed, "I'm glad you're here."
Gu Ya handed a bowl of chicken soup to Tan Xi Yuan and asked, "Didn't your parents say they were coming? When will they arrive?"
Tan Xi Yuan took the chicken soup, sighed, and said, "My sister-in-law is also pregnant, so my mom will take care of her and won't come."
Gu Ya consoled, "Then let her take care of your sister-in-law at home. Don't argue about it. It's the same if we hire someone to take care of you."
Tan Xi Yuan scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and brought it to his mouth, saying, "Yeah, that's why I told her not to come. It's troublesome for her to run around."
Gu Ya looked at the newborn baby and liked him very much. She asked, "Did you give him a name?"
Tan Xi Yuan nodded, looked at his son tenderly, and said, "His English name is Tam, and his Chinese name is Tan Wei."
"Yeah, it's good to take your surname."
Tan Xi Yuan smiled and pursed his lips, "Of course, he has to take my surname. He can't take Lu Feng's surname."
"What will you tell him when he asks about his dad?"
"What else can I explain? I'll tell him the truth. Whether he recognizes his dad or not is his freedom. I won't stop him."
Gu Ya nodded and said, "That's good."
Tan Xi Yuan finished the chicken soup, handed the bowl to Gu Ya, and said, "I'll call Li Man and let her know I've given birth."
Gu Ya said, "Li Man has already gone home. Call Xiao Hui later."
"Okay."
Saying that, Tan Xi Yuan dialed Li Man's phone.
At this time, Li Man and Huo Jian Sheng had just returned home from the supermarket. Li Man hadn't had a chance to put down the things when she received Tan Xi Yuan's call.
Hearing that Tan Xi Yuan had given birth, Li Man was pleasantly surprised and smiled from ear to ear. "You've given birth? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"A boy," Tan Xi Yuan replied.
Huo Jian Sheng considerately took the things from Li Man's hand, and she sat down in the living room happily, saying, "That's great. Who is taking care of you now? Did your mom come over?"
"My sister-in-law is pregnant, so my mom is taking care of her. I hired a nanny here for a month," Tan Xi Yuan explained.
"That's good too, but you have to take good care of yourself during the postpartum period. Don't follow the Western women who give birth and then drink ice water to go swimming. When you get old, you'll regret it," Li Man worriedly reminded.
Tan Xi Yuan smiled and said, "I know. I'm not a child. You worry more than my mom."
Li Man also laughed and said, "I'm just worried that when you're abroad, you'll adopt the ways of foreign women."
"Don't worry. With Gu Ya accompanying me there, I won't dare to do anything reckless."
"I feel relieved knowing that Gu Ya is with you."
"You guys should come over soon. I miss you so much."
"We're waiting for the school's notification. Once we receive it, we'll come find you."
"Are you with your mom at home now?"
"Indeed, my mom will also accompany us."
"It's really great that Auntie is willing to come."
"Yes, at first I was worried that she wouldn't agree to come. If she didn't want to go, I wouldn't go either."
"..."
They talked for a while longer before finally hanging up the phone.
Huo Jian Sheng and Zhang Yan had already sorted the things they bought and placed them in the refrigerator, leaving only the ingredients for tonight's meal.
Li Man walked into the kitchen wanting to help, but was quickly shooed out by Huo Jian Sheng. "Go sit outside, I'll call you when it's ready."
