Uncle Ding looked at the three little babies with a smile. The three little ones didn't cry or fuss. Their eyes were bright and round, and their little hands were babbling and grasping at the air. His eyes welled up with tears: "It's good that they're safe and sound. It's good that they're safe and sound."

He was uneasy when Su Wanqing was taken away to find Hao Jianguo. When Ding Xiaomei returned, he learned that her water had broken halfway there, which scared him half to death. Now that everything is settled, he can finally relax completely.

Chen Xiuer also breathed a long sigh of relief. Guo Mingyuan was busy having over a dozen tricycles deliver goods today. She had originally planned to come and see Dr. Su first, bringing some food and supplies, but as soon as she arrived at the house, she heard that the doctor had been taken away because of adulterated gold, which terrified her. Later, Ding Xiaomei came back to get her things, and after explaining the situation, Chen Xiuer quickly followed her to the hospital to stay with her.

Luckily, she thought of coming today, otherwise she would have missed Dr. Su's important life event!

"Someone as good as Dr. Su will definitely be alright," Chen Xiuer thought to herself.

Ding Xiaomei leaned closer to look and gently touched the face of one of the little ones. "Oh dear, these three newborn babies look a bit thinner than other babies. Should we breastfeed them first? Oh dear, how are you going to take care of these three? We might as well stay and take care of them today!"

She was an impatient person, thinking that the young couple would be flustered and overwhelmed as they became parents for the first time, and she was also worried that Su Wanqing was still injured and unable to move, so how could she manage?

Zhou Yanshen first bent down and hugged Su Wanqing, saying, "You've worked hard. Leave the rest to me." Then he straightened up and said to Ding Xiaomei:

"Cousin, you don't need to stay. I'll take care of the child and Wanqing from now on." His tone was calm.

"Newborns should be monitored for breathing and body temperature within two hours of birth. The first feeding can be attempted after four to six hours. If breast milk is insufficient, formula should be prepared with warm water, 10 to 15 ml each time, every three hours."

The baby will pass their first meconium within 24 hours of birth; it's dark green and that's normal. At night, when the baby wakes up, change their diapers, feed them, burp them, and soothe them back to sleep—this cycle repeats about every two to three hours. I can manage on my own, and if not, there are caregivers available, so you don't need to worry.

Zhou Yanshen had already thoroughly studied it, and Su Wanqing nodded repeatedly as she listened.

Ding Xiaomei's mouth gaped open as she listened, too shocked to speak for a moment. She thought to herself that this kid had really put in the effort.

But she was still worried: "No matter how solid your theoretical knowledge is, you've never actually held a baby! There are three of them. What if Wanqing and the babies need you at the same time? Can you handle it all by yourself? Anyway, there's plenty of space. I'll stay and lend a hand. I'll go back and cook during the day, and your brother-in-law can bring it over!"

She rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, looking like she was reluctant to leave. Su Wanqing lay on the hospital bed, watching Zhou Yanshen's slightly furrowed brows as he held back his rebuttal, and found it amusing. That's just how Zhou Yanshen is; if you're tough on him, he'll be as cold as a stone. But if you're genuinely kind to him, he'll be helpless.

So Ding Xiaomei stayed for the time being. Anyway, the hospital was only a little over 100 meters from her home, which was very close, and going back and forth wouldn't cause any trouble.

The nurse settled Su Wanqing into a special needs ward, which was the best-equipped room in the entire hospital. It was not only spacious and bright, but also had a private toilet and a bed for a caregiver. Even the curtains were made of brand-new floral fabric.

Uncle Ding pushed over the wooden baby stroller he had made himself, laid out a thick cotton quilt, and then carried the three little ones in one by one to settle them down, arranging them neatly in a row like three little dough balls.

So cute, Su Wanqing's heart melted.

Zhou Yanshen strictly followed the methods in the book to take care of the child—changing diapers, taking temperature, and making formula. Although his movements were clumsy, he was extremely careful.

The little ones didn't cry or fuss. After eating and drinking their fill, they fell asleep peacefully in the noisy environment, their little mouths slightly open, occasionally making a smacking sound.

The two babies clung to the edge of the stroller, watching curiously for a long time. The little one tilted his head and said:

"My younger siblings aren't fair-skinned at all; they're rosy."

Uncle Ding laughed and said, "Little Bao, you were even uglier than them when you were born. You grew up in just a few days." The ward burst into laughter.

Uncle Ding looked at the three little ones, then turned to Su Wanqing and Zhou Yanshen: "Wanqing, Yanshen, have you come up with any names yet? You can't just keep calling them 'little ones,' can you discuss and come up with some names?"

He glanced at Zhou's mother and added, "Let the young people choose the name themselves; don't interfere."

His older sister neither takes care of the children nor manages anything, so it's best not to get involved and affect the young couple's relationship.

As soon as Zhou's mother moved into the ward, she sat down in a chair, sighed comfortably, and waved her hand, saying, "I'm not going to name them. It's hard to come up with a name, and they have to be cultured. Besides, they won't take my surname. Why should I bother with this? Let them name them whatever they want."

Actually, she wasn't entirely without thoughts, but since her older brother had already spoken up, and given his son's appearance, he clearly didn't intend for her to name him, she was happy to have some peace and quiet. After all, she wasn't going to take care of the child, so what name he was given wasn't really her concern.

Ding Xiaomei chimed in, "Yes, yes, let's hurry up and come up with a name! Have you thought of one yet?"

The whole family simply gathered together and turned their attention to Zhou Yanshen and Su Wanqing.

Zhou Yanshen looked at Su Wanqing and said gently, "Wanqing, have you thought about what name to choose?" He had actually thought of more than a dozen names, but if Wanqing had a favorite, he would go with her.

Su Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "You can start the boy, and I'll start the girl?"

Men, after all, need to feel a sense of involvement. Naming rights are a way for parents to show their love for their children, just like naming a game account yourself; you never feel like someone else's name belongs to you.

Although Zhou Yanshen remained calm and composed, his usually stern face was unusually beaming with joy. His little wife was so good to him!

They even asked him to come up with a name!

His wife truly loves him!

"My brother's name is Zhou Xingyuan. 'Xingyuan' is taken from the saying 'The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will search high and low for the truth.' I hope that he will be able to travel far and wide and withstand the storms in the future, and become a responsible and courageous older brother."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Wanqing and said, "Wanqing, what do you think? If you don't like it, we can change it." He had all kinds of boys and girls here, but this was his favorite.

The name was clearly well thought out; it wasn't old-fashioned or too old-fashioned, and Su Wanqing was very satisfied with it.

She nodded gently, "No problem." Then she looked at her two younger sisters, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since the older brother is named Xingyuan, then the eldest sister will be named Zhou Xingge, and the younger sister will be named Zhou Xingyue. Xingge, may she be accompanied by songs along her journey, and be happy and carefree; Xingyue, may she be as clear and bright as the moon, gentle yet powerful. All three siblings' names contain the character 'Xing,' so they sound like a family."
