He Jie was quite surprised to see Xiao Li, "You’re back already?" Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, I’m back to report Little Stone’s situation to you!" He Jie laughed and lightly patted Xiao Li on the shoulder, "What’s there to report? I know my son; he must be upset that I didn’t accompany him back, right?" Xiao Li nodded, "Correct! But he’s not as mad as before. Instead, he’s been quite upset recently because Mianmian and Xiaoli have been giving him a hard time." He Jie became interested upon hearing this, "How are they giving him a hard time? Tell me about it..." He Jie talked to Little Stone daily over the phone, but Little Stone would never bring up these setbacks on his own! Xiao Li explained how Mianmian had developed an interest in family studies and how Xiaoli had been auditing the classes. After listening to Xiao Li, He Jie even felt a bit disheartened for Little Stone. Patting Xiao Li on the shoulder, He Jie commented, "I can see it now, Qian Xiao was meant to give Qin Tan a hard time, and now Mianmian is here to give Little Stone a hard time! But, honestly, these setbacks are good for him. I’ve always thought Little Stone is too weak, and that’s not okay for a boy." He Jie thought about how he was going to sprinkle salt on his son’s wound over the phone later that night! Just as she was thinking about this, she felt a slight pain in her stomach again. Xiao Li noticed her change in expression and asked, "Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?" He Jie shook her head, "It’s nothing, just some discomfort in my stomach." Xiao Li quickly asked, "Is it pain? How long has it been hurting?" He Jie replied, "It started feeling uncomfortable this morning, but it’s not constant pain, just occasional." Upon hearing this, Xiao Li suggested, "You should go to the hospital for a check-up!" The source of thɪs content is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥 He Jie waved her hand, "No need, there’s still half a month until the due date. When I gave birth to Little Stone and the others, it never happened this early..." Before she could finish speaking, He Jie fell silent because she felt her water break. Xiao Li saw her standing there in a daze and asked, "Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?" He Jie took a deep breath and said, "It’s nothing, my water broke. I really need to go to the hospital." Upon hearing this, Xiao Li was both amused and concerned. She quickly arranged for a car and called Qin Tan. Qin Tan was in the middle of a meeting at the company. He had been busy handling business matters, planning to return home to be with his wife in a couple of days, as her due date was approaching. But right in the middle of the meeting, his assistant came in with his personal phone. Plans never keep up with changes! He Jie’s water broke, and she was rushed to the hospital and directly into the delivery room. Qin Tan hadn’t even made it to the hospital yet when she had already given birth. Outside the delivery room, only Xiao Li was waiting. She was the one who held the baby when it was brought out. By the time Qin Tan finished the meeting and rushed to the hospital, He Jie had already come out of the delivery room and was moved to a patient room. Qin’s mother and Xiao Li were both there, and Qin’s father stayed home to look after the twins. As soon as Qin Tan arrived, he got scolded by his mother, "How did you get here so late? Little Jie has already had the baby, and you’re just arriving now." "Mom, I was in the middle of a meeting. How’s Little Jie doing?" Qin Tan spoke as he approached the bed to check on He Jie. He felt rather helpless too! He hadn’t expected He Jie to give birth today or for it to happen so quickly. The meeting today was about the company’s strategic plan for the second half of the year, which was crucial, and he couldn’t leave halfway through. If he had known He Jie would give birth today, he surely would have rescheduled the meeting! Leaving halfway through is the most difficult thing to handle! This time, the delivery was quite quick, so He Jie was still quite alert. Seeing Qin Tan arrive, she didn’t blame him for being late. She was aware of Qin Tan’s arrangements; it was just that none of them expected this child to be in such a hurry to come out and mess up their plans. He Jie smiled and said to Qin Tan, "I don’t blame you, it’s this little guy who’s in a rush." Qin Tan held He Jie’s hand, "This is the first time I haven’t been with you in the delivery room. You’ve worked hard!" He Jie shook her head, "This little guy was in a hurry, so I actually didn’t suffer as much!" Qin Tan, hearing this, went to take a look at his youngest son. Oh... another boy. Why couldn’t he have had a soft little daughter? After a while, Qin Xiao also arrived at the hospital. After seeing his little nephew, he took Xiao Li home. On their way back, Xiao Li remembered that Qin’s father hadn’t decided on a name yet and said with a smile, "Uncle, Dad is probably going to have trouble sleeping tonight." Qin Xiao thought for a moment and understood what Xiao Li was referring to, nodding with a smile. After a night of sleepless effort, Qin’s father finally came up with names for the three children. Little Maruko is named Qin Chen. Little Glutinous Rice is named Qin Xi. Little Apple is named Qin Zheng. Little Apple is the nickname of Qin Tan and He Jie’s youngest son. Upon hearing the names of the three children, Qin’s mother was quite dissatisfied and directly asked Qin’s father, "Is this the good name you’ve been thinking of for a year?" Qin’s father touched his nose and remained silent in response! Regardless of whether Qin’s mother was satisfied, the names given by the grandfather had to be used, no matter how inadequate they seemed. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the twins were already a year old. After the children’s first birthday, Xiao Li no longer stayed at home. However, she didn’t go back to work; she went back to study! Because she had been accepted for full-time graduate studies. From the time she was pregnant and resting at home, Xiao Li started picking up her books to study again. After giving birth, she continued to review at home with Qin Xiao helping her by highlighting key points and solving difficult problems. Finally, this year, Xiao Li was admitted to the graduate program at B City Medical University. Now she had to return to school for three more years of study. When she first returned to life, Xiao Li didn’t have clear pursuits for her career or studies. At that time, she only thought about marrying Qin Xiao, graduating as usual, and being a doctor if possible. But as she found love and had children, creating a happy family, Xiao Li felt she needed to enrich herself. To enrich oneself, learning is naturally the way to go. In the parking lot of B City Medical University, Qin Xiao was parking the car. Once parked, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li got out of the car together. "Uncle, I’m going to find the teacher to report!" Qin Xiao pulled Xiao Li into a gentle embrace, kissed her on the head, and then said, "Go!" Xiao Li waved her hand with a smile and then walked away, starting her classes today! Qin Xiao watched Xiao Li’s back for a moment before heading to the laboratory. His laboratory was still within the university. Xiao Li hurried all the way to find her mentor Professor Chen to report, and when she arrived at the office, she saw two other graduate students as well. Under Professor Chen, there were a total of three graduate students. Besides Xiao Li, there was another woman named Shao Yu and a man named Chen Wei. Upon arrival, Xiao Li greeted Professor Chen with a, "Teacher!" Professor Chen was reviewing some materials, and upon hearing Xiao Li’s call, he nodded slightly. Seeing this, Xiao Li stepped aside to stand with Shao Yu and the others. The two nodded at her, and Xiao Li immediately returned the gesture! They were all students of Professor Chen and would often see each other in the future, so it was important to establish a good relationship first.
