Chapter 1768 - 1770: A Chubby Baby Boy Weighing Seven Jin Eight Liang
Second Day of the Lunar New Year
Early in the morning, the three sons of the Yang Family brought their wives back to their mother’s home.
Yang Ming’s mother was in the kitchen preparing the food needed for today.
This year was different from previous years; those years, there weren’t any daughters and sons-in-law coming back.
This year she has two daughters coming back!
Yang Ming’s mother was overjoyed, pulling Xiaoqiu to busy around in the kitchen, "Xiaoqiu, do you think what we’ve prepared is okay? Will it be too shabby?"
The two sons-in-law are from wealthy families, and Yang Ming’s mother feared she might be neglecting them.
"Mom, it’s not shabby!"
Yang Qiu felt that her mother was just too nervous; didn’t they usually eat together at other times? Never seen them being picky, so why worry now?
The main thing is that what their family prepared was anything but shabby!
Chicken, duck, fish, meat, drinks, and pastries, all complete! No family has ever been this lavish during New Year.
Yang Ming’s mother started nagging again, "I don’t know if your Sister Xiangxiang will be able to come back. I’m really getting forgetful; I should have told them earlier not to come, she’s about to give birth, can’t be moving around like this!"
"Mom, don’t worry. Chu Brother-in-law is a reliable person; he won’t let Sister Xiangxiang be in any danger." Yang Qiu reassured.
"Hmm, I wonder when your sister will arrive?"
"They will, at the earliest, arrive in the afternoon, certainly before it gets dark!"

The family was preparing in the kitchen while chatting, suddenly hearing a commotion at the gate, Yang Ming’s mother immediately stopped her work and said while walking out, "Seems like your sister is here."
Yang Qiu followed her out the door.
Yang Dad and Yang Dong heard the noise and came out from the house too. Before they reached the gate, they saw a coachman entering the yard, whom they recognized as the coachman from the Chu Family.
The coachman entered the yard and said, "Happy New Year, In-law Grandfather, In-law Grandmother."
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year," Yang Dad greeted him, while calculating in his mind, which meant Xiangxiang did not come back.
Just as he was about to ask, they heard the coachman speak, "Congratulations, In-law Grandfather, In-law Grandmother. My master asked me to tell you that the young master has given birth to a seven-jin-eight-taels chubby boy, both mother and son are safe, but today they won’t be able to come over, busy with the little young master’s affairs at home."
Yang Ming’s mother was overjoyed, "Her father, we have grandchildren now!"
"Yes, yes." Yang Dad was very happy too, though Wang Xiangxiang had been taken as a goddaughter, she wasn’t much different from a real daughter, even a real one wouldn’t have spent many days with them.
He quickly told the coachman, "Tell them, no need to come, no need to come."
At this moment, Yang Ming’s mother asked, "Her father, should we go over to take a look?"
"My master specifically instructed that as your family’s daughters and sons-in-law would be coming, you need not come over today. If you wish to see the child, you can go in a few days."
After hearing the coachman’s words, Yang Dad was relieved, worried the in-laws might misunderstand, unexpectedly they were more considerate than themselves.
"Please thank your master for me." He turned to Yang Qiu, "Xiaoqiu, quickly bring some tea."
"Come in, quickly, after coming such a long way!"
"No need, In-law Grandfather. I’ll return to report, can’t stay long!"
After the coachman finished speaking, he was about to leave, Yang Dad and Yang Ming’s mother hurried forward to see him off.
After sending off the person, the two returned to the yard, this kind of good news couldn’t be more delightful.
"Her father, this is truly joyful news!"
"Yes, yes!"
