Chapter 87: A Bio Baby

On the third snow of winter, Chen Xiao Mi finally gave birth.

"Congratulations, Master Lin. It's a handsome baby Bio," the midwife said with a smile.

Lu Lin smiled brightly. "Thank you so much."

Lu Lin handed a red envelop with 200 cents inside to the midwife as luck money, the midwife thanked him profusely and took the red envelope.

Many people didn't like to have Bio baby. The midwife couldn't help but recall when the last family heard that the wife gave birth to a baby Bio, they just left the room in a huff, no one said a thank you to her, let alone giving her red packet money. She looked at the baby Bios and felt sorry for him.

The midwife sized up Lu Lin's happy expression and thought that Lu Lin really liked this baby.

The midwife then thought of the rumors she had heard and felt that Lu Lin might not dare to dislike it. After all, Chen Xiao Mi was a ferocious partner. Lu Lin might end up getting beaten up if he showed any sign of dislike.

Chen Xiao Mi lay in bed, perhaps because he was too tired, he had fallen asleep in a daze.

Lu Lin blinked at the baby doll.

The baby closed his eyes and slept soundly. The gazes from people surrounding him didn't seem to affect him at all.

Lu Lin named the baby Chen Yu, nickname Yuan Bao (T/N: meaning gold ingot).

Chen Xiao Mai looked at the baby in and said worriedly, "He is my little nephew, he is so ugly!"

Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiao Mai and said, "Mai, yes, he is your nephew. And no, he is not ugly, he is just wrinkly looking due to the labor, he will be all handsome and pretty, just like you, in just a few days!"

.

Chen Xiao Mai nodded, then he clapped his hands and said, "That's great. I was just thinking who is gonna marry him if he stays this ugly."

Lu Lin was amused by Chen Xiao Mai and thought to himself, 'Everyone keeps saying Mai is slow, but he is so thoughtful, he is considering his nephew's future happiness already!'

"Don't worry, your nephew will marry well. But Mai, what kind of partner do you want to find?" asked Lu Lin.

Chen Xiao Mai glanced at Lu Lin and straightened his chest, "I want to find someone brave like my Big Brother."

Lu Lin nodded with a smile.

Chen Xiao Mai looked at Lu Lin and said, "You and my Big Brother make a perfect match! You guys are lucky to find each other."

Lu Lin once again thought Mai was actually very smart.

The baby made the household more lively, Lu Lin had been in such a great mood. Chen Xiao Mai stayed with the baby all day long, Granny Shen always visited Mi and the baby as well.

Lu Lin was right, Yuan Bao became so pretty in just a few days, chubby and adorable.

His eyes were crystal clear, making people feel happy at first glance.

......

"Grandmother, are you making this outfit for Yuan Bao?" asked Shen Chi.

Granny Shen nodded and said, "Yeah! Lu Lin is such a good person. He likes Yuan Bao very much. It's rare to find a man who loves the baby regardless of the gender."

Granny Shen was well aware of the fact that the Lu Cheng Yu had a baby girl. She had also heard that after the baby was born, Lu Cheng Yu showed nothing but indifference to his wife and the newborn baby girl. Li Fang Yue did not have enough milk, so she could only beg other breast-feeding women to help her. It was said that the baby girl was so thin and looked so pitiful.

Granny Shen had been worried that if Chen Xiao Mi gave birth to a Bio, it would affect the relationship between Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi. However, Yuan Bao was a Bio and Lu Lin didn't mind at all.

Granny Shen then cast a glance at Shen Chi. Bios tended to give birth to Bio babies. Granny Shen used to worry that Shen Chi would be disliked if he gives birth to a Bio in the future. But now she was relieved, Lu Lin had set a good example for Chen Xiao Cai.

Shen Chi had no idea what Granny Shen was thinking about. He just felt that the house was much more lively.

......

The news that Chen Xiao Mi had given birth to a baby Bio spread to Grandma Lu's ears.

Grandma Lu gloated over the news, she thought Lu Lin now must have disliked Chen Xiao Mi. But she was less Chen Xiao Mai as she thought that Li Fang Yue gave birth to a girl.

Compared to Lin Xiu'er's pregnancy, Grandma Lu was more concerned about Li Fang Yue's pregnancy. She always hoped that it was a great-grandson.

Li Fang Yue's position at home suffered a disastrous decline since she had a girl.

Li Fang Yue was a plain-looking woman. She looked more average since her pregnancy.

Lu Cheng Yu always made excuses to hide in the study, not caring about his wife or his new daughter.

There were more and more contradictions between the Lu An and Lu Ming. Grandma Lu used to favor Lu Ming, Lu Cheng Yu's father, more. But Grandma Lu favored Lu An more since his wife Lin Xiu'er gave birth to a son.

Lu Cheng Yu felt that his family was in a mess and was very annoyed.

......

Lu Lin boiled some goat milk and fed it to chubby Yuan Bao.

Lu Lin found a wet nurse for Yuan Bao days before Chen Xiao Mi's due date, but the wet nurse was not willing to make a trip to their house due to the coldness.

Luckily, Yuan Bao was not a picky eater. He always had a good appetite. He ate, slept, ate, slept day and night, he rarely cried.

Chen Xiao Mai was also very interested in the goat milk. Lu Lin raised three female goats to make sure Yuan Bao wouldn't run out of food.

Although Yuan Bao had a good appetite, he was an infant after all, and the wet nurse would come over from time to time. No way could he finish the goat milk.

Therefore, when Lu Lin was free, he would also cook some goat milk tea for the kids in the house.

Lu Lin would add some tea leaves and sugar for the kids.

The price of tea leaves differed vastly. Good tea leaves were very expensive, but some ordinary tea leaves were much cheaper. Lu Lin doubted the kids would be able to appreciate good teas, so he just bought the ordinary tea leaves.

In Lu Lin's opinion, goat milk tea was very nourishing with high Calcium. It was a little late for him, but the kids should drink more and hopefully they could grow taller.

The sweet goat milk tea was liked by many people in the family. At first, Chen Xiao Mi thought that goat milk was for babies, he turned up his nose at Lu Lin when he offered him the milk tea, but when he saw Mai's happy face when Mai held a bottle of milk tea, he tasted it and got addicted.

Lu Lin often saw the Chen brothers sitting in a row and drinking goat milk tea, laughing and talking.

Lu Lin cooked some steamed cakes this day.

The sweet and glutinous steamed cakes had captured people's heart as well, it was so nice to have something warm and sweet on a cold winter day.

Chen Xiao Mai had been so excited since Yuan Bao was born.

Chen Xiao Mai had been the youngest one at home for so long. His brothers were doing so much to support the family, Chen Xiao Mai was a little anxious. However, he was so young and he was a bit slow, he couldn't help much.

Chen Xiao Mai now was so glad that he was not the baby at home any more.

"Yuan Bao, look, look, this is a tiger," Chen Xiao Mai held the tiger doll and kept showing off to Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao was too young to give Mai any interactions. Occasionally annoyed by the noise made by Chen Xiao Mai, he would open his eyes and glance at Chen Xiao Mai, then he would go back to sleep. Lu Lin found that very amusing.

Yuan Bao was calm and composed. Lu Lin felt that his son had, indeed, the way of great generals!

Mai who was ignored by Yuan Bao was not upset. He continued to show off his tiger doll when Yuan Bao woke up.

Joy was overflowing in the entire house, everyone lived in Lu Lin's house was having a great time.

......

The cold wind was blowing hard, but everyone felt so warm at heart.

The Qins were having some porridges for dinner, they sat by the stove and they would look at each other with a smile from time to time, they were so grateful to Lu Lin that they didn't have to spend winter in their cave.

For mountain people like them, winter was difficult to endure, food shortage was a problem, and hungry beasts were a bigger problem.

A beast usually wouldn't provoke or hunt people, but a hungry beast would.

"Father, I didn't know winter could be this comfortable!" Qin Ming let out a sigh.

Qin Yi nodded, "I feel the same way!"

However, they all knew if it were not for Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi's help, it was impossible for them to have such a comfortable life.

Qin Yi looked at his two sons and felt relieved. Qin Yi always felt that he hadn't done enough for his two sons when they were back in the mountains. Seeing his two sons working and progressing so much lately, Qin Yi finally saw some hope.

"The wind outside is howling but it's still so warm in the house. This house is so much better than a cave," Qin Ming said.

"It's also because this house is well-built, the houses in the village are not this great, there will be leaks in the windows and the door, there are villagers freeze to death every year."

Qin Yi hoped he could build a good house in the village one day.

......

In the other room, Wan Li looked at his wife and son with a smile on his face.

Wan Xiao Fan was holding a doll in hand.

They made many dolls for the store and there would be some defective products. These defective products were usually not for sale. Lu Lin would give them to the kids in the house, and Wan Xiao Fan got several.

In the past few months, Wan Xiao Fan had become more and more cheerful.

Yun Niang looked at Wan Xiao Fan who was having fun and showed a grin. There were two young masters in the house, Chen Xiao Cai and Chen Xiao Mai, but both of them had good temperament and never had they bullied Xiao Fan. Yun Niang hoped they could have a peaceful life like this.

"This year, our masters must have earned a lot of money. I wonder how the next year will be."

"Next year should be a good one. The products in the shop this year are very popular," Yun Niang said.

Wan Li said with some concern, "I'm not too sure about that. There are imitations shops already."

"Don't worry, I'm sure the master will launch new products," Yun Niang was very convinced of Lu Lin, she admired Lu Lin's various wonderful thoughts.

Wan Li was full of admiration for Lu Lin as well, he said, "Our master is not an ordinary person, next year will be even better for everyone."
