The next day, in front of the whole family, Qiao's mother asked Tang Xia when she would go for IVF again.

“You’re not young anymore. They say that children born before the age of 25 are the smartest and healthiest. You should hurry up and take advantage of the fact that your father and I are still in good health and can help you take care of the child.”

Tang Xia paused in her eating, then laughed in exasperation at her last sentence.

Since Niannian came home, she has hardly hugged or comforted her, and she has not secretly cursed her as a good-for-nothing behind her back, which is already quite good.

She's still so eager to let her younger siblings take away the care she receives.

"Mom, what are you saying? You and Dad are both in poor health, either your legs hurt or your chest hurts. Zhiyu and I can't be so unfilial and make you suffer."

This is an excuse that Qiao's mother often comes up with in order to avoid taking Niannian with her.

Now, it's become Tang Xia's way of criticizing her.

Qiao's mother looked rather unpleasant and kept giving Qiao Zhiyu meaningful glances.

Just as Qiao Zhiyu was about to speak, Tang Xia stuffed a whole hard-boiled egg into his mouth, silencing him: "Zhiyu, you've been working too hard lately, eat more eggs to replenish your energy."

Qiao Zhiyu nearly choked to death after eating a whole egg.

He picked up the cup beside him and drank it down in one gulp.

As a result, his face suddenly changed, and he vomited, gagging incessantly.

"Didn't I say I can't drink milk?" Qiao Zhiyu frowned and questioned Tang Xia.

"I don't know," Tang Xia blinked innocently. "It seems that Miss Lin got up early to make breakfast today."

Perhaps worried that Qiao Zhiyu would stop renting rooms for them, Lin Yiyue became even more attentive.

Upon hearing that it was Bai Yueguang who made breakfast, Qiao Zhiyu's anger immediately subsided, and he even made an excuse for her: "It must be because Yiyue has been abroad for too long and forgot that I can't drink milk. That's fine, I'm going to be late for work, I'll go first."

Tang Xia saw him to the door.

Before leaving, she suddenly spoke up: "Zhiyu, do you remember when we first got married, I accidentally poured you a glass of milk?"

Qiao Zhiyu frowned, her tone somewhat impatient: "I forgot. Why are you asking this?"

"Nothing, just asking."

Just then, the elevator arrived.

Qiao Zhiyu didn't even say goodbye to her, and turned and left.

Tang Xia couldn't help but fall into her memories.

When they were dating, Qiao Zhiyu would bring a bottle of fresh milk every day and wait for her downstairs at the girls' dormitory.

He never said how much he hated milk, and he did everything according to her preferences.

After that, the two lived together, and Tang Xia gradually learned about each other's habits.

I don't know when it started, but there has been no milk in our house anymore.

Before marriage, Qiao Zhiyu doted on her; after marriage, he was the one who kept changing and making concessions.

Perhaps the love at the beginning was real, and perhaps it was also real that the love disappeared later.

Tang Xia gave a self-deprecating laugh, but stopped dwelling on it.

She turned and went back to the living room. Just as her mother was about to continue talking about having her undergo IVF again, her phone suddenly rang.

She answered the phone, her tone not very friendly: "Who is it?"

But after hearing the other person's voice, she immediately changed her attitude: "It's her aunt. Is there something you need on the phone?"

"I was going to say something to you guys, aren't you planning to send us invitations to your baby's one-month celebration?"

Mrs. Qiao's expression changed, and she beckoned her husband over.

Mr. Qiao answered the phone somewhat hesitantly: "Sister, we haven't started preparing yet. It's not that we forgot to send you the invitation."

"Not ready yet? That's not right, the baby's one-month celebration is in less than two days. You don't mean you're not planning on having a celebration for the baby's one-month birthday?"

"This……"

Mr. and Mrs. Qiao exchanged a glance and chuckled awkwardly.

They really weren't planning to do it.

After all, she's just a girl, not a grandson. What can be done about it?

However, these two are very concerned about their image, and they definitely wouldn't say things that might get them scolded.

"How could that be? We'll definitely hold it, it's just that Zhiyu has been working overtime lately and is too busy. You know, doctors are white-clad angels who save lives, how can they just take leave? Don't worry, sister, we'll definitely invite you first to the baby's one-month celebration."

After hanging up the phone, the elderly couple both sighed deeply.

Tang Xia couldn't help but laugh after hearing their conversation.

It can only be said that evil people will be punished by evil people.

Although Qiao Zhiyu's aunt was not an easy person to deal with, Qiao's parents were always quite afraid of her. Every year when they visited relatives, they would lose to her and slink away in disgrace.

She was about to go back to her room when Qiao's mother suddenly called her back.

"Tang Xia, since you don't have anything to do lately, you can arrange Niannian's full moon celebration. It doesn't need to be too extravagant, it's not good for the child."

Tang Xia remained expressionless.

If Niannian were a boy, they would probably announce it to the whole world.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

Two days is actually a very tight schedule.

From booking the hotel to the guest list and gift packages, Tang Xia had to arrange everything by herself.

Those two old men said they had chest pains again.

One spends all day lying at home scrolling through short videos, while the other still has the energy to go fishing.

Even though Tang Xia has been so busy these past two days that she's barely slept, they haven't offered to help her.

While Tang Xia was writing the list, she suddenly thought of someone.

She immediately took the invitation and a list of Qiao's relatives and knocked on a door.

Lin Yiyue never expected that Tang Xia would take the initiative to come to her one day.

"Sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'm here to ask for your help." Tang Xia acted perfectly normally, showing neither hostility nor obsequiousness. "Miss Lin, do you have some time now?"

"You want me to help you?" Lin Yiyue was also a little confused.

"Yes, Niannian's full moon celebration is coming up, and I'm really too busy to handle everything by myself, so I thought I'd come and ask you for help. You've known the Qiao family for so long, you must be quite familiar with their relatives, right?"

Lin Yiyue then noticed what she was holding.

She wasn't familiar with the Qiao family's relatives, but she could also become familiar with them.

During this time, Lin Yiyue had been thinking about what opportunity to get closer to the Qiao family, but unexpectedly, Tang Xia actually offered herself up.

She quickly took the things: "I happen to have some free time. You and Brother Zhiyu have helped me so much, so it's only right that I help you too."

Tang Xia smiled and said, "Then, thank you very much."

However, the smile did not reach his eyes.

Tang Xia entered the room and subconsciously looked around.

Lin Yiyue thought she was looking for her son, so she said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, An'an is still playing downstairs at this time. He won't come over to bother us. You know, boys are just naughty. I wash his dirty clothes every day, and I can hardly keep up with the workload."

Although he said it with disdain, his tone was blatantly boastful.

“I’m not as lucky as my sister-in-law, who had a girl. I’m sure Niannian will be just as quiet as her when she grows up.”

After saying that, a hint of malice flashed across Lin Yiyue's eyes.

That child has a health problem; even if he's not quiet, he still has to be.
