Announcing the Good News

"Don't just stare at the baby—you should rest first. Otherwise, you won’t be able to sleep once she wakes up," Zhang Xiaofeng urged Lin Nannan to rest before turning to Lu Hang, who was gazing at his daughter. "Go call our place and the Lin household. Let them know Nan Nan has given birth and that both mom and baby are doing fine, so they won’t worry!"

Lu Hang didn’t leave immediately. He waited until Lin Nannan had fallen asleep before making the calls.

His first call was to the Lin family, and it was Grandma Lin who answered.

"Grandma, it’s me, A Hang. Nan Nan has given birth—a daughter, over seven pounds," Lu Hang recognized her voice and immediately shared the news.

The announcement came so suddenly that the old woman couldn’t believe it at first. She asked again to confirm she hadn’t misheard, then exclaimed joyfully, "How are Nan Nan and the baby? Are they both alright?"

"Yes, both mother and daughter are safe and sound!"

Holding the phone, Grandma Lin kept murmuring, "That's wonderful! As long as they’re safe, that’s all that matters!"

"How is Nan Nan now? Was it very hard for her? A seven-pound baby—Nan Nan must have had a hard time..." Grandma Lin, deeply concerned for her granddaughter, pressed anxiously.

Lu Hang answered each question gently, soothing her worries.

"Mom was with her the whole time. The baby was a bit big, so Nan Nan had a tough time, but the doctor said everything’s fine. She just needs to rest well during her recovery month and recover properly..."

Reassured, Grandma Lin sighed in relief. "That’s good to hear. Is your mother managing alone? If not, I can have Nan Nan’s mother go over to help care for her!"

Lu Hang knew Nan Nan wouldn’t agree. She hadn’t fully accepted the Lin family yet and wasn’t comfortable with strangers around her, even if that stranger was her real mother.

Still, he couldn’t outright refuse the old woman’s suggestion, so he politely said, "If we were at home, that would certainly be helpful. But here in the base housing, it’s a bit difficult to arrange. Once the baby’s a little older, we’ll take her to Beijing to visit you!"

Grandma Lin understood the implied refusal. With a silent sigh, she didn’t take offense but instead said hopefully, "Alright, we’ll wait for your visit. I’ll go spread the word about Nan Nan’s delivery now. If you need anything, just tell me—I’ll have someone send it over."

"Okay!" This time, Lu Hang didn’t decline.

After speaking with Grandma Lin, Lu Hang hung up and called the village...

Lu Fang was the one who answered. Since the scare with Grandma Lu, they had stopped working their stall and had been busy with farm work. When Lu Hang called, Lu Fang was in the fields, not too far away.

Upon hearing that Lin Nannan had given birth to a bouncing baby girl, Lu Fang burst out laughing, repeatedly murmuring, "Good, good..." Too thrilled to speak properly.

Back in the village, Lu Fang hurried home after hanging up. Along the way, he ran into neighbors and happily announced the news—Lu Hang had a chubby baby girl, over seven pounds...

Before he even reached home, half the village already knew Lin Nannan had delivered a daughter.

"Mom! A Hang just called—Nan Nan had a baby girl, over seven pounds, rosy and healthy, just precious!" Lu Fang’s voice rang out before he even stepped through the gate.

Grandma Lu, doing laundry outside, immediately stood up. "Really? Are both mother and child doing well?"

"They're both great! A Hang said both are safe and sound!" Lu Fang was so overjoyed he didn’t know where to put his hands. "Mom, I'm a grandpa now!"

Pan Xiaoping emerged from the house, uncertain. "Brother, what were you shouting about just now? Did Nan Nan give birth?"

She'd only heard bits of the conversation inside and came out to ask.
