Chapter 325 Production

Zhao Xing'er was about to give birth on the day when Gu Yuchuan passed the examination to become a student.

The aunt who was washing dishes quickly put down the dishes in her hands and walked quickly to Zhao Xinger's side to support her.

Hearing the sound, Gu Yushan hurried in and looked at Zhao Xinger at a loss.

The grandmother who followed him patted his shoulder hard. "What are you still standing there for? Go and get the third grandmother to come over!"

Sanpo is the most experienced midwife in the village, and most of the children in the village were delivered by her.

"Okay, okay." The eldest brother ran away.

Gu Jiayue hurriedly chased after him, "Call Doctor Lin along the way!"

Although Zhao Xing'er is in good health, giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman, so she can't be careless. Calling Lin Yi over can be a reassurance.

"Okay." The eldest brother didn't even turn his head, just responded in a hoarse voice and ran faster.

Because it was already the third trimester, the family had already prepared everything. And my grandmother was there, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner under her direction.

Finally, after a night of hard work, Zhao Xing'er gave birth to the Gu family's first great-grandson. Both mother and child are safe.

Grandma held her great-grandson in her arms and looked at him with such fondness that she couldn't get enough.

Gu Yuhe leaned over to take a look, then said disdainfully, "Grandma, you're lying. He's so ugly, and you actually said he's good-looking?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped by her grandmother. "Shut up, you were even uglier than this when you were born."

This child knows how to enjoy life. When Zhao Xing'er was pregnant, the Gu family's situation was improving. She had never lacked nutrition and was fed with good food and drink every day, so the child grew up to be white and plump, weighing a full six kilograms.

It's just new and hasn't opened yet, so it's a little wrinkled. It will be fine after a few days of full growth.

It was nothing like when Gu Yuhe and the others were just born. Back then, the Gu family was very poor and no one had enough to eat. The eldest aunt and the second aunt had to go to the fields to help with the work even though they were pregnant. At most, they would come back early.

But I can't just lie down when I get home. I have to hurry up and cook for the whole family.

This was because grandma was not a wicked mother-in-law. Every now and then, she would try her best to give eggs to her daughters-in-law as a tonic. Even so, the children in the family were very small when they were born, not much bigger than a mouse.

I heard that there was a family in the village before. The mother-in-law liked to bully people. Even when her daughter-in-law was about to give birth, she still asked her to plow the fields.

Finally, her water broke in the ground and she gave birth to the child there. The woman had a near-death experience.

Logically, she should have had a good rest, but before the woman could catch her breath, her mother-in-law pulled her up and continued working.

In her words, there is no such thing as a lazy person at home.

"By the way, have you named the baby yet?"

Gu Yushan scratched his head. "I'm not educated. Xing'er and I discussed it and decided that we'd rather let Grandpa and Grandma take it."

Grandma rolled her eyes. "You haven't been to school, but your grandfather and I have?"

"Grandma, let me get it?" Gu Yuhe volunteered.

But grandma didn't give him face. After looking him up and down, she said with disdain: "You? You've only been studying for a few days?"

Then, Grandma looked at Gu Jiayue and Gu Yuchuan. "You two can choose the name for the kid. You two are the smartest people in our Gu family."

Gu Jiayue and Gu Yuchuan looked at each other. "Grandma, this is not good, right?"

"What's wrong with that?" Grandma turned and looked at her uncle and aunt. "You two don't have any objections, do you?"

The two of them quickly waved their hands. "No, no, that's what we meant."

What good names could these roughnecks come up with? They'd either come up with names like "Dog Egg" or "Yang Shi Tuo Tuo." They couldn't come up with names as elegant and beautiful as those given by scholars.

Look at the name Gu Jiayue gave to Goudan, Zhang Chuyan, it sounds different!

Gu Jiayue's eyes rolled. "Today is the day my second brother passed high school and my eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a child. It can be considered a double blessing for our Gu family. So it's most appropriate for my second brother to choose the name."

It’s not that Gu Jiayue is being lazy, but she has really come up with a lot of names recently.

Whether they were new students or those who thought their names were ugly after studying, they came to her one after another to ask for help. She was now allergic to the word "naming".

Gu Yuchuan glanced at her and said, "Okay, then leave the name of your nephew to me."

Seeing that Gu Yuchuan agreed, everyone was very happy.

Oh, except Gu Yuhe.

He was pouting and folding his hands. "Why can my second brother do this but I can't? I'm also a scholar! In fact, my second brother hasn't been studying as long as I have."

This is blatant discrimination!

Grandma rolled her eyes at him. "Yes, your second brother didn't study as long as you, but he already passed the exam to become a Tongsheng. Can you do that?"

Gu Yuhe stopped talking, snorted palely, and turned away.

This loveless family is really suffocating.

Zhao Xing'er was very weak after giving birth and went to bed early.

The little boy was placed next to Zhao Xing'er, and the aunt made a bed on the floor next to the bed with a straw mat and a quilt. She planned to accompany her daughter-in-law like this in the next few days, for fear that she would not be able to hear if she needed anything in the middle of the night.

Gu Yushan felt a little distressed. "Mom, go back to your room and rest. I will take good care of Xing'er."

As my aunt made the bed, she said, "How could a grown man like you do this? Didn't the village chief say yesterday that we'd start planting mulberry trees tomorrow? You have to go out to work in the fields. How can you do that without a good rest?"

"Go and rest now. Learn from the village chief this time, okay? Some opportunities are hard to come by, so you can't just keep pushing them away."

Gu Yushan had no choice. He was not good at talking and could not beat his mother. He could only stretch his neck to take a look at his wife and child, then turned around and went to the next room to rest.

Mother is right. If it weren't for Gu Jiayue's sake, the village chief wouldn't be willing to take him to work.

He can't keep pushing forward opportunities that others can't even ask for.

He lay awake with his eyes wide open, his mind filled with Zhao Xinger's desperate cries during childbirth, which then turned into the baby's cries.

He is a father now.

He raised his hands and looked at them in the moonlight. These hands had just held that soft child!

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the eldest brother Gu Yushan got up and left home. He needed to go to Zhao Xinger's parents' home first to inform his father-in-law and mother-in-law that Zhao Xinger had given birth.

He was holding a basket of red eggs in his hand, which his grandmother had made overnight.

It is the custom here to send red eggs when announcing good news.

Taohua Village was bustling with activity today. The mountain land reclaimed last month had almost been cultivated, and the saplings Gu Jiayue had purchased from the system had been transported to Taohua Village after a thorough haul.

She discussed it with the village chief, who also looked through the perpetual calendar at home and decided that today was a good day to start planting trees.

Zheng Qinghe was notified early, and he rushed over with his selected planting experts before dawn.

When they arrived at Taohua Village, the villagers had just moved the mulberry and tea trees to the mountain.

Gu Jiayue smiled and said, "You've come just in time. I was just about to teach the villagers how to intercrop. Now that you're here, just listen carefully. I won't have to explain it a second time."
