The children's names had been chosen: Li Xianglin for the daughter and Li Xiangrui for the son, the same names from their last life. After all the necessary matters were settled and seeing it was getting late, everyone got up and went home.
Zhou Lian sat to one side, holding a cup of red date water as she watched Li Xiu tidy up. She took a contented sip and smiled, feeling a sense of relief. Things were different now; the days ahead would be much more comfortable. She stroked her belly. Her precious daughter was here now, too. She would take excellent care of her and give her a happy, carefree childhood. Unlike in their last life, her daughter wouldn't have to live in fear of her parents fighting, nor would they be scraping by with just enough to eat and stay warm, never having any delicious food or nice clothes.
"Li Xiu, come here." Seeing he had finished tidying up, she beckoned him over.
