"I'll make a phone call to let them know. If that doesn't work, Xiao Hong can tell her family," Guo Xuyang said.
"Who else is in her family?"
"I remember her saying she was the only one at home."
"How about this. When we get back, you get her mother's phone number, and I'll call her mother."
"Wouldn't that be bad? It's better if I call them myself.
If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility.
If you call them, there will be no room for turning back."
"That works too. You should think about what to say beforehand."
"It's fine. The baby is born now, I don't think her parents will say anything."
"It's precisely because the baby is born that you're thinking of announcing the good news.
Although our situation here is quite special, some matters still need to be done according to custom; we can't neglect the formalities," Wu Shangqing said.
"Elena should have announced the birth of Xiao Bao as well, but Elena is a special case.
This Xiao Hong's home isn't too far from us.
Even though we haven't had any contact with her family, giving birth is a major event, and you must personally deliver the good news."
"I understand. I'll ask her for her family's phone number when she comes out later."
As they were talking, the doctor came out.
"Wang Lihong's family, please come to sign. It's a boy."
"She's given birth? So quickly? Where is the mother?" Guo Xuyang seemed incredulous.
"The mother will be out in a moment. We'll take the baby away first." The doctor brought the baby out.
"I'll hold him." Guo Xuyang took the baby.
"Let me see. The little guy has such dark hair and long eyelashes," Li Minxi leaned over and said.
"Have the beds been arranged?" Guo Xuyang turned and asked.
"They've been arranged. When we paid earlier, the doctor said it had already been paid," Elena said.
"Who arranged it?"
"Who else could it be? It wasn't you," Li Minxi retorted.
"Having you, Xiao Xi, saves me a lot of trouble. Thank you."
"You're being so polite? I'm not quite used to it."
Li Minxi said, rubbing her arms.
"We've all booked our rooms.
The rooms were reserved a week before our due dates.
We all know our due dates anyway."
"That's for the best, it saves us from being flustered. I was just feeling nervous.
Oh, right, Elena, take this young lady to help check the leg of that other young lady.
I accidentally bumped the other young lady's leg when I came out earlier," Xuyang said, pointing to Xiao Yi.
"My name is Mao Yiyi," Xiao Yi said to Guo Xuyang.
"The one whose leg was bumped is Hu Jun. We're here for a nursing interview."
"We'll talk about that later. Let's check Hu Jun's leg first, to avoid any lasting issues.
Li Xiaolu, you go with them too," Guo Xuyang said.
"Mr. Guo, Sister Xiao Hong will be out soon. I should stay here and help?"
"That's fine. Let Lu Lu stay. I'll go with Elena," Li Minxi said.
"Is it convenient for you in your condition?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"It's fine. As long as I don't fall."
"Then the three of you go. Let the doctor examine her and perform surgery if needed."
"You don't need to worry about that.
When Xiao Hong comes out, be mindful of your words.
It's best to ask for her opinion regarding the announcement of the good news.
And don't announce it in front of her.
Although Xiao Hong has been living with us, she has very little contact with her family.
We don't know what went wrong between her and her family," Li Minxi said.
"I understand. You guys go ahead."
