In the fifth year of Youyou's life, her stepmother "transmigrated".
From then on, the little dumpling began to have dreams of predicting the future.
In her dreams, she was a...
Chapter 84
Ruan Wenwen was taken into the visiting room by prison guards.
From a distance, she saw Meng Jinyu.
Somehow, Ruan Wenwen subconsciously reached out and touched her face.
In the past, she was raised in the palm of her adoptive parents' hands and was pampered. As a pampered girl, she naturally looked much younger and more beautiful than Meng Jinyu.
But later, she was sent down to a farm. After leaving the farm, she returned to Fenglin Village to work as a slave for the Jiang family. In the past few years, she moved to Beijing and followed several men, climbing up the social ladder, and finally found Wu Deyao.
During the last month she was with Wu Deyao, he often disliked her. He said her skin was rough and her hands were coarse. Although she still looked pretty when she put on heavy makeup, her temperament was not up to par...
But looking at Meng Jinyu, in the 1980s, she was more beautiful and fashionable than most people, with a tall and straight figure. As she sat there waiting, there was no trace of uneasiness in her eyes.
A hint of jealousy and inferiority flashed in Ruan Wenwen's eyes, and then she looked at the man next to Meng Jinyu.
Gu Zhimin had broad shoulders and long legs and was handsome. From her perspective, his eyes were cold and he exuded an oppressive aura.
In order to protect Meng Jinyu, he did not sit down, but chose to stand beside her, with his body slightly sideways, so that he could protect her behind him at the first moment when he went crazy.
Ruan Wenwen has dealt with too many men in her life. She knows better than anyone how cold and bored men can be when they don't love her, and how affectionate their eyes can be when they love her.
Compared to herself, Meng Jinyu is so lucky. Not only is she well-maintained, has filial children, and a successful career, but she also has such an excellent and decent man to rely on.
Ruan Wenwen had shackles on both her hands and feet. As she walked over, the shackles made a crackling sound that echoed in the empty meeting room.
It makes people feel a little irritated.
"What do you have to say?" Meng Jinyu asked.
Ruan Wenwen came back to her senses, and leaned forward slightly across the meeting table: "Sister——"
"Sit down." Gu Zhimin's eyes flashed and he said sternly.
The prison guard immediately waved his baton: "Behave yourself!"
Ruan Wenwen sat up straight awkwardly and kept a distance from Meng Jinyu.
She thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"Sister, it seems like we two sisters have never sat together and talked like we are now."
"I have let you down over the years. I was spoiled when I was little, and I wanted to get whatever I wanted. After divorcing Huanming, I reflected on it. If I hadn't been so ruthless, you two would still be fine now."
Meng Jinyu frowned and said impatiently, "Speak to the point."
"Sister, the worst thing I've ever done in my life was competing with you for a man. What I regret most is giving birth to a child named Jiashen. However, after spending some time with her, I have feelings for her. She has been sent away by the Jiang family. If I get shot, then she will really be left alone."
These days she has accepted the reality and has calmed down a lot, but when she talked about being shot, she couldn't help but tremble and her face turned pale.
"I never thought that such a vicious person would still worry about his daughter before he died." Meng Jinyu sneered.
Ruan Wenwen's eyes were red. "She is dark-skinned, has small eyes, and is not pretty, like her grandmother. But the child is innocent. She is my flesh and blood after all, and I can't help but think of her. Just treat me as a dying man who speaks kindly. This is my last wish. Can you help me fulfill it?"
"Sister, please, let her stay at your house. That child is different from me. She has a kind heart. If you can raise her, she will definitely repay you well. Anyway, you already have four children, so it doesn't matter if you raise one more, right?"
This was the most sincere moment Meng Jinyu had ever seen Ruan Wenwen.
At this moment, she seemed like a mother who was really worried about her child.
If Jiang Xiangjia knew when she grew up that her mother loved her until the last moment of her life, she would probably feel relieved.
"Sister, is it okay?" Ruan Wenwen asked again.
"No." Meng Jinyu refused, "That's absolutely impossible."
After she finished speaking, she stood up.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Ruan Wenwen was furious: "You said I was vicious, but you are the most vicious one! How old is she? She is so young, what's wrong with you raising her for a few years? What's wrong?"
Meng Jinyu took a step forward and stared straight at her hideous and twisted face: "I am just an ordinary person, not selfless, nor great. I can't do this."
Seeing Meng Jinyu's calm expression, Ruan Wenwen's hatred reached its peak.
Based on her understanding of Meng Jinyu, this person should be the one who cares most about family affection. Why is she so heartless now?
"I have four children in total. Among these four children, Shanshan was lost because of you and was almost abducted by human traffickers. Youyou was almost sold by you as a child bride. Jiang Guo was better, but she almost dropped out of school. As for Jiang Cheng, you took advantage of a young boy's most immature emotions and almost ruined his life." Meng Jinyu said this with anger in her eyes.
Gu Zhimin looked at her like this, raised his hand and wanted to pat her on the back, but his hand stayed in the air for a while before he restrained himself and took it back.
He didn't expect that she had been plotted against like this along the way.
It must not be easy.
"Your daughter is innocent, but my children are also innocent. Ask me to repay evil with kindness, but I can't do it." Meng Jinyu took a deep breath, said this, turned around and left.
Ruan Wenwen looked at her back, bit her lips tightly until they bled, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Meng Jinyu, why are you so high and mighty?"
"I'll tell you a secret, a secret you can't even imagine."
But the more she shouted, the faster Meng Jinyu's pace became.
She screamed in anger, saying loudly, "I have robbed you of quite a few men, including Jiang Huanming and Director Gu! You don't know how much love Director Gu has in his eyes when he hugs me, do you? He loves me to the core, and he was so heartbroken that he promised to bring you here and let you take good care of my daughter!"
"Meng Jinyu, how much better do you think you are than me? We are twins. If the men around you are attracted to you, they will be attracted to me. Jiang Huanming was snatched away by me in the past, and it's the same now!"
I have never seen such a shameless person.
When Gu Zhimin stopped, his face darkened, his eyes became cold, and he walked quickly towards Ruan Wenwen.
Ruan Wenwen shrank back in fear, but since she was barefoot she was not afraid of those who wore shoes, so what was she afraid of?
She even thought that if Gu Zhimin came close to her, she would stand on tiptoe and kiss him, making Meng Jinyu feel uncomfortable for the rest of her life!
But who knew that just when Gu Zhimin was about to walk up to her, Meng Jinyu gently pulled him back.
"It's just a desperate dog. If you get angry, won't you fall into the trap?"
She smiled and walked towards Ruan Wenwen: "I also have some news, I didn't want to tell you, I hope you can leave in peace."
Ruan Wenwen looked at Meng Jinyu standing in front of her with suspicion.
"Jiang Huanming is back." Meng Jinyu said lightly, "In the past few years, he has been doing some business outside. Sometimes when he is tired, he longs to have a family. This time he came to Beijing to find you. He said he wanted to remarry and take you and your daughter back to Shenzhen to reunite as a family of three. But he didn't expect that you would be sentenced to death. He regretted and blamed himself for not bringing you home earlier."
Ruan Wenwen froze and asked anxiously, "Huanming is back? What kind of business is he doing?"
"Did he open a supermarket? Jiang Huanming opened a supermarket, right?" she asked again.
At this moment, Meng Jinyu was even more certain that Ruan Wenwen, like herself, had awakened the memories of her past life.
It is precisely because of this that she wants to take Jiang Huanming away. Otherwise, why would a city girl insist on marrying into the countryside? Even though Jiang Huanming's job was good at the time, it was not good enough to force Ruan Wenwen to do so many things.
"He opened a supermarket. He must have opened a supermarket." Ruan Wenwen cried out, "He's rich, right?"
Meng Jinyu just smiled and said nothing, exchanging glances with Gu Zhimin.
"Let's go," he said.
Ruan Wenwen was still in a distraught state until long after they left.
She cried so much that her head hurt, and she kept muttering to herself: "It's a supermarket chain. He will become a supermarket tycoon... just a little bit, just a little bit..."
The prison guard looked at her with contempt and took her back to the detention room.
When the door of the detention room was slammed shut, Ruan Wenwen leaned against the wall and collapsed to the ground.
If Meng Jinyu hadn't said that Jiang Huanming had made a name for himself and returned, she would have only been filled with the fear of death.
But now, she is in great pain.
Jiang Huanming came back and he was going to take her home!
She has suffered so much for so many years, isn't this what she has been waiting for?
She was just a little bit away from living a good life.
Ruan Wenwen struggled, but in the end, as if all her strength had been drained out of her, she lay on the cold floor of the detention room with lifeless eyes.
There are still two days before the execution. These short forty-eight hours will be the longest torture for her.
…
After Gu Zhimin took Meng Jinyu out of the reception room, he immediately explained to her.
"I don't know this death row inmate at all, and it's impossible for her to be like what she said. I only met her in the past when I was in Jiangcheng, and we didn't even talk to each other."
"Moreover, if I really had a relationship with her, I would not have found the seller of the poison and arrested her. At that time, there was no other evidence, and the case was at a standstill. The witness became the most critical clue."
Meng Jinyu had never heard Gu Zhimin say so many words in one breath.
When she looked up, she saw that he, who was usually steady, rarely showed an anxious expression. In order to take her feelings into consideration, he even put away the sharpness he had just used when speaking to his subordinates and tried to be gentle.
"So, there's no way I can be with her--" Gu Zhimin lowered his eyes to look at Meng Jinyu, and suddenly met the smile in her eyes, and was stunned for a moment.
"I know." Meng Jinyu could no longer conceal the smile in her eyes, and even the corners of her lips curled up, "Don't be so nervous."
"She said that you two are twins, and anyone who can be attracted to you can also be attracted to her." Gu Zhimin was silent for a moment, and whispered, "That's not the case. I know you are different from her."
The voice was deep and rich, and blew past Meng Jinyu's ears with the help of the wind.
She was slightly stunned, and suddenly her heart seemed to be brushed by a feather, light but warm.
So what Gu Zhimin meant was, is he moved?
…
Meng Jinyu said that Jiang Huanming was back, of course she was lying to Ruan Wenwen.
This man has done so many evil things that he could make her die with her eyes open until the last moment. How satisfying!
But at this moment, Meng Jinyu really hopes that Jiang Huanming can come back and take good care of his own daughter.
Because her daughter Youyou went to the welfare home to visit Jiang Xiangjia.
The little girl was kind-hearted. She said that she didn't want to bother with Jiang Xiangjia, but she was worried in her heart. She thought she didn't see it just now, so she kept winking at Wen Yan. The two children quietly ran out.
Meng Jinyu didn't want to stop it.
The reason why Youyou can grow up so innocently is that she has no resentment in her heart. She will not let the grievances of her parents' generation be carried on her little shoulders.
She knew that Youyou was a child who could distinguish right from wrong and would not cause her any worries.
Meng Jinyu didn't think any more and went out with her purse.
Grandma Wen smiled kindly and greeted her, "Jin Yu, where are you going?"
"Grandma Wen, my sister-in-law should be giving birth soon. There has been no news for the past two days. I'm going to borrow a phone and call back to Jiangcheng to ask about the situation."
"You haven't given birth yet? I saw you calling me every few days half a month ago!"
"That's right." Meng Jinyu said, "I have already packed my luggage and am waiting for the baby to be born so that I can go back and help."
After she finished speaking, she hurried out of the yard.
On the other side, Youyou and Wen Yan had already arrived at the entrance of the welfare home.
"Youyou, let's go in." Wen Yan said.
Youyou shook her head and stood on tiptoe to look inside: "I'm just taking a look."
"Aren't you worried?" Wen Yan said, "We can tell the security guard and go in to take a look and leave."
"I don't want to worry about her." Youyou raised her chin and said proudly, "She's not my sister!"
"If you're not worried, then why did you come to see me?" Wen Yan looked bewildered. "We can go play with her for a while before leaving. Otherwise, you can take her home to stay for a few days."
Youyou suddenly became stubborn and said seriously, "I came to see her because I felt sorry for her. But if I take her home to live with me, it would make my mother sad. She has her own life, and I don't want to meddle in her affairs."
Wen Yan felt that Youyou's words were very convincing.
What does it mean that she has her own life?
These words sound like something an adult would say, and they seem to be very meaningful!
The welfare home opens for lunch early, and the children stand quietly in line with their bowls in hand.
It wasn't very hot in the evening at the end of August, but Jiang Xiangjia's dark face was still tanned red.
She used her hands to block the sunlight and squinted her eyes when she suddenly saw Youyou standing outside, staring at her.
Jiang Xiangjia was so happy that he jumped up all of a sudden.
A kid nearby asked, “Who is that?”
"My sister!" Jiang Xiangjia said happily, "My sister is here to see me!"
"You have a sister!" the other party asked in surprise.
Jiang Xiangjia puffed out his chest and said, "Of course!"
"But you have a sister, why doesn't she come in to accompany you, and why doesn't she take you home?" the child asked curiously again.
Jiang Xiangjia had a speechless expression on his face: "Why do you care so much, kid? It's good enough that you come to see me, what else do you want!"
The kid was frightened by Jiang Xiangjia's idiotic look and nodded obediently: "That's right."
Jiang Xiangjia turned around happily and continued to wave at his sister.
My sister is so nice that she is willing to come and see her.
It turns out that she is not that annoying. At least, there are still people who like her!
In the morning, the director of the welfare home said she would take her back to Jiangcheng, but now she doesn't want to go back.
If I stay in Beijing, I can still see my sister.
From a distance, Youyou and Jiang Xiangjia looked at each other outside the welfare home.
The little green eye was so happy that he grinned, revealing his white millet teeth, and waved his hands vigorously.
The heavy weight on Youyou’s heart also fell.
Little Green Eyes is so optimistic, he will live well wherever he lives.
This way, she will feel relieved!
…
When Youyou and Wen Yan returned home, their steps became cheerful.
The school season will start in a few days, and this time, Youyou is not dejected.
Because, in the new school, she will have two good friends, Wen Yan and Huang Ziqi.
This summer, Huang Ziqi was like a bird released from a cage.
He was "encouraged" by Youyou and Wen Yan to put his homework aside. He didn't even look at the junior high school textbooks that Huang's father found for him.
It turns out that playing is such an interesting thing. Huang Ziqi opened the door to a new world and had so much fun that he didn't want to leave. It was no longer as boring as before.
"Tell me, if Huang Ziqi doesn't do well in the exams after school starts, will his father beat him?" Wen Yan said worriedly when talking about this new friend.
"No! My mom said that studying should be a combination of work and rest. Maybe if Huang Ziqi has more fun, he will get better scores in the exams after school starts." Youyou is full of confidence in her new friend.
Wen Yan tilted his head: "How strange, why is Huang Ziqi suddenly unwilling to listen to his father?"
"My mom said he's in his rebellious phase!"
Wen Yan blinked.
What is the rebellious period?
Aunt Jinyu seems to know a lot of things, she is so amazing.
The two children chatted and laughed as they arrived at the entrance of the compound.
At this time, Meng Jinyu had already walked out with her luggage and said to Youyou, "Youyou, let's go to Jiangcheng to see your aunt."
Youyou's eyes sparkled: "Did aunt give birth to a baby?"
"Not yet." Meng Jinyu said, "I'm worried about the danger, so it's better to go there early."
Meng Jinyu originally wanted to go back alone, but she thought that Su Jingjing must miss Youyou very much.
It has been more than ten days since the due date, and Su Jingjing still hasn't shown any sign of pregnancy. She must be very anxious, so it would be nice to let Youyou go and talk to her.
"Mom has packed your clothes. Let's set off now and try to get back before school starts." Meng Jinyu said.
Before Youyou could come to her senses, she was dragged away by her mother.
She trotted to keep up with her mother's pace: "What about my sister and Shanshan?"
"I have just talked to Grandma Wen and asked her to help take care of them. I will take them back to my hometown to see the kids at the end of the year."
…
At this time, Su's mother was accompanying Su Jingjing at her home.
"Although it has been delayed for more than ten days, the doctor has checked it and said it's nothing serious, so you don't have to worry." Su's mother said.
Su Jingjing touched her belly.
Her belly has become very big, and the little guy inside is very lively every day, making a fuss from time to time. During the ten months of pregnancy, she was looking forward to seeing what the little one looked like every day and was looking forward to the day when the child would officially meet them both.
Just waiting and waiting, day after day passed. Although the doctor said that the due date could not be calculated accurately and it was normal for the little one to be born a few days later, Su Jingjing was still very anxious.
Only after becoming a mother did I realize that my heart would be affected by my own children and I would become less carefree.
"Mom, the child should be healthy, right?" Su Jingjing asked anxiously.
"Of course I'm healthy!" Ruan Jinguo came out of the kitchen, walked to the sofa, got close to his wife's belly, and lowered his voice to "threaten": "You little brat, if you don't come out obediently and make your mother worry again, then when you come out, I will beat you!"
Su Jingjing was both angry and amused, and nudged him with her elbow: "Don't talk nonsense, it will scare the child! If he's scared, he'll be even more reluctant to come out."
"My child, how can you be so timid!" Ruan Jinguo said with a smile, looking up at Su's mother and said, "Mom, dinner is ready, stay and eat with us."
Mother Su patted Ruan Jinguo on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Ruan Jinguo scratched his head embarrassedly: "I don't have to get pregnant, and I don't have to endure the pain of giving birth to a child. What's so hard about it? It's Jingjing who is suffering."
Su's mother smiled and gave her daughter a gratified look.
The corners of Su Jingjing's mouth unconsciously rose up, with a quiet and gentle smile.
Ruan Jinguo helped Su Jingjing sit down at the dining table. Just as he handed her a bowl of rice, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He went to open the door and asked in confusion, "Mom, why are you here?"
Chen Liping was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. When she saw Su's mother, she quickly greeted her and walked up to her, holding her hand: "Mother-in-law, you said the child hasn't come out yet, can't it be--"
Ruan Jinguo's face darkened: "Mom, if you can't speak, don't speak, so as not to scare Jingjing."
Mother Su smiled awkwardly: "The child will be fine. The doctor said this is normal."
"No! I'm not saying the baby will be bad!" Chen Liping interrupted her anxiously. After hesitating for a long time, she said mysteriously, "An old classmate of mine who is a midwife in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital said that those who are born late are all daughters. Those who are born early are sons!"
Mother Su: ...
Ruan Jinguo said to Su's mother, "Mom, come and eat."
Su's mother sat down and picked up the chopsticks.
Ruan Jinguo served Su Jingjing a bowl of soup: "Jingjing, this tomato and egg soup is something I just learned how to make. Try it and see if it's sour enough."
Su Jingjing took a sip from the bowl, looking satisfied: "Sour! Just right for whetting your appetite!"
Chen Liping came over excitedly again: "Sour boy, spicy girl, great!"
But no one was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Chen Liping had no choice but to go to the kitchen, get a bowl of rice and sit down.
During the meal, she wanted to speak countless times, but was interrupted by Ruan Jinguo. Her son talked about all sorts of topics and laughed so happily.
Chen Liping sighed in her heart.
These three are really carefree!
After everyone finished their meal, Ruan Jinguo cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen.
Chen Liping wanted to give her son a break, so she took over the job.
While standing in the kitchen washing dishes, she lowered her voice and said to Ruan Jinguo, "After you quit your job, you've been busy every day, running around doing renovations. Even if you make more money, it's useless. You've become thinner and tired! If you want money, tell us and your parents will give it to you."
Ruan Jinguo spread his hands and said, "Then give me two hundred thousand."
Chen Liping's mouth stiffened, and she glared at her son in annoyance: "You only know how to argue with me! You are so tired, don't rush to do the housework when you come back, let Jingjing do it. Jingjing looks so energetic, not weak at all, how can washing a few dishes be too much for him?"
"That's right. When she's in confinement, you have to find her a piece of land to work on." Ruan Jinguo said with a playful smile, "When you were young, you were all not spoiled like this."
Chen Liping could tell that her son was bullying her, but there was nothing she could do about it. She gritted her teeth and swallowed the words she hadn't finished.
"Oh no!" Suddenly, Su's mother's panicked voice came from the living room, "Jingjing's water broke!"
When Chen Liping heard this, her eyes lit up and she ran out quickly: "She's about to give birth! Hurry to the hospital!"
But just as she finished her words, Ruan Jinguo ran out of the door at a brisk pace, saying that he was going to call an ambulance.
Chen Liping was stunned.
It's just giving birth. The hospital is not far away, just a few steps away. It's not a big deal, so why call an ambulance?
I've never seen anyone dote on his wife so much.
…
Youyou and her mother caught the last train to Jiangcheng.
In a blink of an eye, she hadn't been back for a long time.
Youyou often misses her uncle and aunt, Teacher Lin, Jiang Zhiqing, their daughter Zhizhi, Aunt Yuqing, and many of her friends in the village.
It would be great if they could all move to Beijing.
"Youyou, take a nap first. Your mother will call you when the time comes." Meng Jinyu said to Youyou.
They bought express tickets, but even so, it still took fifteen hours to get from Jiangcheng to Beijing.
If you calculate, it will be evening by the time we arrive in Jiangcheng tomorrow.
Meng Jinyu let Youyou lean on her shoulder and patted the child gently, coaxing her to sleep like she did when she was a child.
Slowly, the little girl calmed down, but Meng Jinyu looked out the window, not daring to close her eyes, feeling extremely worried.
I don’t know how Jingjing is doing.
At four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the mother and daughter finally arrived in Jiangcheng.
The two got off the train and rushed out immediately.
Meng Jinyu was in a hurry to go out this time, and since she was going to help, she didn't dress up specially. She just picked up a set of casual clothes that was convenient for moving around and hurried over.
In addition, she sat on the train with her eyes open all night and only slept for half an hour when the train was about to arrive in the afternoon. She was woken up by Youyou. She didn't even have time to wash her face, and her hair was messy, so she looked very tired.
Meng Jinyu estimated that she was probably in a very miserable state at the moment.
But she couldn't care less about all that. She wanted to go to her brother and sister-in-law's house quickly to see what was going on.
Youyou had a good sleep and was full of energy. She held her mother's hand and ran forward quickly.
But just as she got out of the station, her peripheral vision suddenly caught her eye and she paused.
"What's wrong?" Meng Jinyu asked, and then hurriedly urged, "Let's go quickly. It will take another hour to get to your uncle's house from the train station."
Only then did Youyou quicken her pace.
When the mother and daughter disappeared from his sight, Jiang Huanming still stretched his neck and kept looking.
When he first saw Meng Jinyu and Youyou, he thought he had made mistakes.
I haven't been back to Jiangcheng for a few years, and I ran into them as soon as I came back. How could it be such a coincidence?
But that's how things work.
He actually saw them, and, to his surprise, they both didn't seem to be doing very well.
Meng Jinyu can't make ends meet in Beijing anymore, so is she bringing her child back?
Thinking of this, Jiang Huanming's heart couldn't help but move.
After working in Shenzhen for so many years, he was as tired as an old ox. He started working as soon as he opened his eyes every day. When he got home and wanted to have a good rest, there was no one he could talk to in confidence.
As a result, he longed for the warmth of family more and more.
This time, Jiang Huanming came back with money.
The money he earned in Shenzhen was enough for him to go back to Jiangcheng and do some small business. If Meng Jinyu was willing, he wanted to get back together with her.
Let the past be the past. He will live a good life with Meng Jinyu in the future, and the two of them will stay together until old age.
When the children grow up and have their own lives, they can just come and visit the couple occasionally.
As Jiang Huanming thought about it, a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously. He was immersed in the beautiful dream he had created, unable to extricate himself.
This time, he wanted to be a good husband and a good father.
…
Youyou followed her mother to her uncle's house.
My uncle and aunt were not at home, but fortunately a kind neighbor reminded them, and my uncle took my aunt to the hospital.
"Wow! The baby is about to be born!" Youyou's eyes lit up and she quickly pulled her mother to run.
"Youyou, the hospital is over there!" Meng Jinyu pointed in the opposite direction.
Youyou quickly ran back and the mother and daughter rushed to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, they went up the stairs to the door of the delivery room and saw Ruan Jinguo outside the room at a glance.
Youyou was stunned. She had never seen her uncle look so tired.
However, although he was obviously very tired, he kept pacing outside the delivery room, like an ant on hot pan, his face full of anxiety.
"Stop turning. It makes my head hurt even more." Su Feng said.
Jiang Ying also said: "Don't worry, Jingjing will be fine."
Last year, Su Jingjing's elder brother Su Feng and Jiang Ying also got married.
The couple acted quickly and gave birth to a chubby, fair and white little boy at the beginning of this year.
Jiang Ying had experience, and she advised her husband and Ruan Jinguo: "Don't worry, some babies can be very painful and won't come out for a long time in the stomach. I have a colleague who tried to give birth for 24 hours straight, and her face turned blue in pain before she gave birth. As long as the doctor says there is no danger, it's okay, we just have to wait patiently."
Ruan Jinguo's eyebrows knitted together: "Giving birth for 24 hours, how can Jingjing bear it..."
"Jin Kingdom!" A familiar voice sounded.
Ruan Jinguo turned around and said in shock: "Sister! Why are you here!"
On the phone, Ruan Jinguo repeatedly told Meng Jinyu not to come, but unexpectedly, she still took a train and came all the way with her children.
When Su Jingjing's family saw that Ruan Jinguo's sister attached so much importance to this matter, they were touched and greeted her politely.
Chen Liping sat on a plastic chair in the corner and muttered to Ruan Zhenli, "This sister is really caring."
"Uncle, is aunt in pain now?" Youyou pulled Ruan Jinguo's hand and asked worriedly.
Ruan Jinguo lowered his head: "She must be very scared to suffer so much alone in the delivery room."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Auntie is the bravest auntie!" Youyou comforted her, "Your little baby is also the bravest baby."
Ruan Jinguo smiled and rubbed Youyou's head: "Now I know how difficult it is to be a mother. Youyou should be better to your mother in the future."
Youyou looked back at her mother.
It turns out that giving birth is a very scary thing. The suffering her mother endured when she gave birth to four brothers and sisters was four times as much.
It's too hard.
Everyone sat together waiting, occasionally chatting, but none of them were really in the mood. From time to time, they would stand up and look through the window of the delivery room door.
Youyou also wanted to see it, but she couldn't reach it even when she stood on tiptoe.
She tugged at her uncle's clothes and said, "Uncle, it's my turn. Carry me up and take a look!"
But Ruan Jinguo's face was pressed tightly against the delivery room window: "This window is different from the transparent window at home. I can't see anything."
Youyou let out an "ah" and simply stopped looking. She put her ear close to the door of the delivery room to listen to the noise inside.
I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly said in surprise: "It's crying! It's the baby crying!"
Everyone gathered around.
Not long after, the door of the delivery room was opened.
The nurse came out holding a baby wrapped in a quilt: "Mother and daughter are safe, the baby weighs 15 pounds and 12 ounces, and is very healthy."
"Comrade, where is my wife?" Ruan Jinguo asked immediately.
"She's in there. She'll be pushed out soon." The nurse said with a smile, "Don't worry, she's fine. She's just a little weak after such a long labor. But she said it was worth it to give birth to such a plump and fair daughter."
The Su family immediately came forward, took a closer look, and said happily: "This child is so good-looking!"
Chen Liping heard the sound of her own heart breaking.
It turns out she is actually a granddaughter.
But soon, she waved her hands again and whispered to Ruan Zhenli: "It's okay, you can still have another child. My colleague's daughter-in-law did the same thing a few years ago. She gave birth to a daughter first, then a son. In the future, the older sister can take care of the younger brother."
"You may also say it was a few years ago. Starting this year, the street has strictly enforced family planning. It doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl. If you continue to be so feudal, I will go to the street office and let the street comrades do ideological education for you." After saying this, Ruan Zhenli spread his hands and walked towards his granddaughter happily, "Oh, Grandpa, give me a hug!"
After learning that the mother and daughter were safe, Meng Jinyu felt relieved.
She glanced at her little niece, then turned back and pulled Youyou: "Youyou, go and have a look, that's your little sister."
But Youyou looked in the direction of the little sister awkwardly, moved her feet, and shook her head.
Just at this moment, Su Jingjing was pushed out, and the little girl immediately stepped forward.
"Aunt, you are so awesome!" she said softly.
The child's soft and tender voice floated in his ears. Su Jingjing smiled weakly and raised his hand to rub Youyou's face: "Youyou is here."
The next moment, Ruan Jinguo also came over, lifted Youyou aside, held Su Jingjing's hands with both hands, and asked nervously: "How is it? Does it still hurt? Is there any discomfort?"
Youyou wanted to move forward, but was pulled to the other side by Meng Jinyu.
She looked confused: "What's the matter?"
Meng Jinyu hesitated, wondering how to explain it to the child so that she could be a little more perceptive.
The young couple is being very affectionate with each other right now, and it’s inappropriate for Youyou to get closer to them.
The child was finally born, it was a happy event for the whole family.
When it was time for dinner, Ruan Jinguo stayed in the ward with Su Jingjing, and the Su family invited everyone to go to a restaurant for dinner.
During the meal, everyone had a happy smile on their face, but no one delayed for long. They just wanted to go back to see Su Jingjing and the children.
"How can you treat us? We have to treat us." When it came time to pay the bill, Ruan Zhenli rushed to pay.
Afterwards, he pulled Su's father and mother aside and said apologetically, "Jin Guo's mother is like this. She says whatever she wants. She's actually not a bad person."
Mother Su waved her hand: "It's okay, I feel relieved as long as Jin Guo is here."
The group rushed to the hospital again.
Along the way, Meng Jinyu asked softly: "Youyou, have you not seen the little sister yet?"
Youyou nodded: "I haven't seen it yet."
"I'll let you hug me later, okay?" Meng Jinyu said with a smile.
Youyou's eyes widened: "Is it really possible? I will definitely hold her firmly and not let her get hurt!"
When I returned to the ward, Ruan Jinguo was feeding Su Jingjing porridge.
After resting for a while, she felt much better.
The baby was lying next to Su Jingjing, and everyone gathered around to look.
Ruan Jinguo poked his daughter's face and introduced them to her one by one.
"Look, this is grandma, this is grandpa. This is uncle, this is aunt..."
“This is my aunt!”
"This is Grandpa..."
The baby's eyes were already open, and she looked curiously at the faces that came before her, not knowing whether she understood them or not.
The last person to come forward was Chen Liping.
She wanted a grandson, but that didn't mean she didn't love her granddaughter. Now, looking at the baby's face, a smile spread across her face.
"This is Liping." Ruan Jinguo said gently to his daughter.
Chen Liping's mouth froze, and her face turned red all of a sudden: "How can you talk like that, kid!"
She is more looking forward to having a grandson, but the fact that it is a granddaughter doesn’t mean she doesn’t like it!
Nowadays, which family doesn’t favor boys over girls to some extent?
Chen Liping pouted angrily, leaned close to her granddaughter's ear and whispered, "I am grandma, grandma!"
The baby moved his mouth with difficulty and spit out a bubble.
Chen Liping hadn't seen such a small baby for many years, and her heart melted instantly.
While everyone was laughing, Youyou stood in the corner of the ward, with a look of confusion on her little face.
It was obvious that she was very curious, but she stood on tiptoe to take a look and then pulled back weakly.
"Youyou, why don't you go see your little sister?" Meng Jinyu really couldn't understand this child, "Don't you usually like to join in the fun?"
"Youyou, go see your sister." Su Jingjing said with a smile, "You said in your letter that you were looking forward to seeing your sister the most."
Ruan Jinguo came over, holding Youyou's little hand, and walked towards Su Jingjing.
Youyou looked at the little ball on the hospital bed. Every step she took was taken with the spirit of "facing death with indifference". It looked so tragic and heroic.
Seeing the child like this, Chen Liping looked suspicious.
She knew that Youyou had always been quirky since she was a child, but this time, she was really unpredictable.
"Come here quickly." Ruan Jinguo finally brought Youyou to Su Jingjing's side. He put his hands on the child's shoulders and said with a smile, "Sister is watching you."
Youyou closed her eyes tightly, took several deep breaths, and then opened them.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a baby in soft little clothes, blinking his big black grape eyes and staring at her.
Looking down, the baby has a small nose with an upturned tip, as white as a glutinous rice dumpling, and a pink and tender little mouth, so cute.
"Wow!" Youyou was overjoyed and felt relieved.
"My little sister is such a cute girl!" She held the baby's face gently with both hands and said softly, "This is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen!"
"Little pink girl, you are so cute. I love you the most... From now on, you will be my little tail. I will take you out to play, okay?"
Everyone was amused by the child's innocent and soft smile.
"That's right, isn't it? Of course our child is beautiful." Chen Liping said with inexplicable pride, jokingly, "Then why didn't you want to look at it just now?"
Youyou blushed and said embarrassedly: "I was just afraid that the little sister looked like her grandmother, so I didn't dare to look."
Chen Liping: …
The whole audience fell into awkward silence.
Youyou blinked in confusion.
What's the matter?
Meng Jinyu said hurriedly, "Let me explain, don't misunderstand. The main reason is that there is a little girl in the Jiang family who looks like her grandmother, with a big face, high cheekbones, and mung eyes. She is not very pretty. Youyou thinks that the little girl looks weird and pitiful, so this child is so worried."
The atmosphere in the ward became even more weird. Everyone seemed to be trying to find ways to make amends for Meng Jinyu, but when the words came to their lips, they turned into bursts of difficult suppressed laughter.
Finally, Ruan Jinguo couldn't hold it in anymore, so he lowered his head and touched his nose, and burst out laughing.
Chen Liping: …
She might as well not explain.
