The babies were growing quickly day by day. After the system enhanced their physiques, and with all the care they had received during this time, their physiques were much better than those of other babies their age.

That evening, Lin Yi was at home folding the little ones' clothes.

Yuanyuan suddenly rolled over on the bed, his big, round eyes fixed on Lin Yi.

"Wah~"

"Mmm~"

"Yuanyuan, Daddy's folding your little clothes. Be good, okay?"

When Lin Yi looked up to talk to Yuanyuan, he saw him lying on his stomach on the bed.

He froze for a moment, then realized in surprise that the baby could actually roll over.

To let his wife share in the joy, he hurriedly called out to Su Wanqing, "Honey, come quickly! Come here!"

Su Wanqing was hanging laundry on the balcony. Hearing Lin Yi's urgent call, she hurried over and asked anxiously, "What is it, honey?"

Seeing the two little ones safe and sound on the bed, Su Wanqing didn't notice at all that Yuanyuan had rolled over. She chided him playfully, "Aren't the little ones being good? Honey, why did you call me over?"

Realizing his wife still hadn't noticed the change in Yuanyuan, Lin Yi's lips curled up. "Honey, haven't you noticed anything different about Yuanyuan?"

"Huh? What could be different?"

No sooner had she said it than she realized in surprise, "Huh? Wait, our good boy can actually roll over?"

Only then did she understand that her husband had called her over in such a hurry to witness this moment.

Seeing how well Yuanyuan had done, Su Wanqing smiled radiantly. She pinched his chubby little cheek and praised him, "Yuanyuan, you're amazing!"

"Keep it up! Try to call me Mommy tomorrow and run the day after!"

Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Su Wanqing's encouragement. "Honey, you're way too impatient. Do you really think our son is Nezha?"

"Hehe, I just want the babies to call me Mommy."

Su Wanqing was all smiles, seemingly unable to wait for the babies to grow up.

Although Lin Yi had said Su Wanqing was too impatient, he and his wife had come to the same idea without consulting each other. He was thinking of asking Zhang Meilan later how to get the babies to start talking quickly.

Yuanyuan was delighted to receive praise from Mommy and Daddy for rolling over, while Tangtang, lying beside him on the bed, looked especially dejected.

She seemed to want to show Mommy and Daddy that she could roll over too. She squirmed her tiny body, but she couldn't turn herself over.

Watching Tangtang's efforts, Lin Yi felt deeply satisfied. He encouraged her, "Come on, Tangtang! Come on, Tangtang!"

Seeing her good daughter trying so hard, Su Wanqing felt a warmth in her heart too.

Perhaps because Tangtang was a girl and her body was a little softer, she just couldn't manage to roll over.

Seeing her good daughter fail again and again, Su Wanqing wanted to lend her a hand, but Lin Yi stopped her. "Honey, you can't do that."

"Oh."

She pouted and nodded, then called Zhang Meilan into the room.

She believed Zhang Meilan, who had cared for many babies, would surely know how to help Tangtang.

As a maternity and infant care specialist, Zhang Meilan was especially attentive to changes in babies. When she entered the room, she was surprised to find Yuanyuan lying on his stomach on the bed.

"Brother Lin, Sister Qing, did Yuanyuan roll over by himself, or did you put him like that?"

"He rolled over by himself."

Lin Yi spoke with pride. He had witnessed Yuanyuan roll over.

Zhang Meilan couldn't help being shocked by the news. Other babies only learned to roll over at three or four months, but Yuanyuan had done it while he was still so little. His physique was truly remarkable.

Then Su Wanqing pointed at Tangtang, who was trying hard on the bed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Tangtang seems to have seen her big brother roll over, and now she's secretly practicing by herself."

"Meilan, is there any way to help the baby roll over?"

"There is."

Zhang Meilan smiled and went over to Tangtang. She first felt the little one's arms and legs, then, sensing the baby's strength, said:

"Brother Lin, Sister Qing, first lay the little one down, then turn her onto her side. Raise the little hand on the side against the bed, and rest the little leg on the upper side on the bed, pressing down on her little bottom."

After Zhang Meilan finished demonstrating, Tangtang used the strength of her arm and actually rolled over the very next second.

"Wah~"

"Mmm~"

"Giggle~"

Tangtang was very happy, her pretty eyes blinking.

Seeing this, Lin Yi and Su Wanqing couldn't help giving Zhang Meilan a thumbs-up. "Meilan, you're amazing!"

"Oh, it's nothing. By the way, Sister Qing, you can help the little ones practice more. That can improve the babies' neck strength."

"Also, you can help the babies prop themselves up on their little hands. That way their heads will lift, and they won't have to stare blankly at the ceiling every day anymore."

"Mm-hmm."

Su Wanqing and Lin Yi nodded. Looking at Yuanyuan and Tangtang lying on their stomachs on the bed, they felt utterly content.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuehua and Lin Hongzhi were sitting on the sofa, watching the news.

A news report then caught their attention. The television announced, "Wang, 36, has never had household registration and has lived for years by working under the table. Because Wang has no identity card, Wang cannot be hospitalized when ill and can only do the hardest, most exhausting jobs. Without an identity card, Wang cannot use public transportation."

After hearing the report, Jiang Yuehua felt great sympathy for Wang.

Lin Hongzhi, however, began to ponder. He then asked Jiang Yuehua, "Haven't our Xiao Yi and our daughter-in-law still not gotten their marriage certificate?"

At Lin Hongzhi's words, Jiang Yuehua was jolted awake. "Oh no! We were so happy to have a daughter-in-law, a grandson, and a granddaughter that we forgot those two still haven't gotten their marriage certificate."

"Without a marriage certificate, the babies can't get household registration. We have to tell our son right away."

Jiang Yuehua and Lin Hongzhi felt a wave of fear after the fact. Fortunately, they had watched the news.

After turning off the television, Jiang Yuehua hurriedly made a video call to Lin Yi.

A moment later, Lin Yi answered. He was just about to tell them that the babies could roll over, but he was interrupted.

Jiang Yuehua said anxiously and solemnly, "Son, hurry and get a marriage certificate with my daughter-in-law, or the babies will have no household registration."

"In the future, they won't be able to take buses or trains. Although our family has a private plane, they won't even be able to get married without identity cards."

"I'm still looking forward to holding my great-grandchildren."

Seeing Jiang Yuehua going further and further off track, Lin Hongzhi hurriedly interrupted. "Son, your mother is right. Hurry and get your marriage certificate. How about going right now?"

Lin Yi looked at the two anxious elders, then glanced out the window.

It was dark outside. Even if they went to get their marriage certificate, the staff would have gotten off work long ago.

Besides, Su Wanqing hadn't said she wanted to...

To reassure the two elders, Lin Yi could only agree.

"Got it, Mom. We'll go as soon as we can."

"If you can't get the certificate, don't come home."

With that parting threat, Jiang Yuehua hung up.

In the bedroom, Lin Yi listened to the beeping and looked at Su Wanqing with a wry smile. "Honey, how about..."

"Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow."

Lin Yi: ???
