Mother Cheng followed the nurse carrying her grandson back to her daughter’s hospital room and saw her son-in-law carefully wiping her daughter’s sweat, which made her heart burst with joy and comfort.
Her daughter gave birth to a son, but he wasn’t anxious to hold him; he was more concerned about his wife, caring for her with tenderness. How could a mother-in-law’s heart not be soothed by this?
Mother Cheng took the baby from the nurse, smiling, and said, "Son-in-law, come and take a look at your son. He weighs six pounds and two ounces, good bones."
Qi Taiguo then turned his gaze towards the baby, seeing Cheng Su asleep, he stood up and took the baby from Mother Cheng.
It was his first time being a father. Although he had held younger siblings when he was a child, that couldn’t compare to now; the child today is precious, so he felt completely uneasy, awkward, and inexperienced holding him.
Mother Cheng adjusted his posture slightly, making him more comfortable, and Qi Taiguo looked at the child.
His hair was jet-black and thick, his eyebrows were a bit dense too, his eyes were closed, but even his eyelashes were remarkable, long, neither he nor Cheng Su had such long eyelashes. His little nose was straight, and his lips were closed perfectly.
"Broad forehead, a sign of a blessed child," Mother Cheng remarked joyfully.
Qi Taiguo responded with a hum, a slow smile spreading across his face, his eyes filled with tenderness.
This was his son, his beloved Cheng Su’s son, the precious child she bore him.
Starting today, Qi Taiguo was a father, and the responsibilities on his shoulders increased.
"Son, I am your dad."
When Cheng Su was suffering during pregnancy, especially during those soul-crushing moments of morning sickness, Qi Taiguo didn’t remember how many times he said he’d spank the kid once he came out for torturing his mother like that.
But now holding his son, he couldn’t bring himself to hurt him; how could he bear to spank him?
