"Uncle, how is Aqing?"

Guo Muyang parked the ox cart and asked anxiously.

"Both Dr. Zhou and the midwife said everything is going well!" Guo Youxing responded.

At this time, the eldest uncle Liang Ying and the second uncle Deng Mudi came and asked if there was anything they could help with.

Liang Xueying brought egg noodles into the delivery room, fed them to Deng Qingling and said, "Ah Qing, eat something before the baby enters the birth canal. You'll need to push hard later!"

"Um"

Deng Qingling endured the pain and finished eating the egg noodles. At this time, the fetus had entered the birth canal. The midwife said to her: "Hold on to your breath and push hard. The baby is coming out soon."

"Pull it out as if you were taking a shit."

"Push harder, I see the end."

Everyone was waiting for news outside the house when they suddenly heard a baby crying "Ah wah ah wah".

"It's finally born. Congratulations to Uncle Xing for becoming a grandfather." Guo Muyang congratulated Guo Youxing.

"Hahaha, come have dinner at my house later and have a drink with uncle," Guo Youxing smiled immediately.

"Okay, I'll help you later," said Guo Muyang.

After the midwife had cleaned up the baby and the mother, she came out to announce the good news. When she saw Guo Youxing, she said, "Congratulations, village chief! My niece-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, weighing about six and a half pounds."

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law." Guo Youxing smiled so hard that his teeth were visible and his eyes were open, and he stuffed fifty cents into the midwife's hand.

"Of course, of course." The midwife was delighted to see a few cents. Poorer families would only give a few cents, and most people would give one or two cents, so fifty cents was not a small amount.

Inside the room, Zhou Jing tidied the bed, wrapped the baby in a blanket, and then gently placed him next to Deng Qingling and said softly, "Aqing, look how well behaved your son is. He fell asleep after crying for a few times."

Deng Qingling endured the discomfort in her body, looked at the baby beside her and said.

"Why is it so red? And wrinkled, like a little old man." Deng Qingling's face was full of disgust, which made Zhou Jing laugh out loud when she saw it.

"Hahaha, newborn babies are all wrinkled. It's okay if they're red. It's normal to be red when you're just born. The redder they are now, the whiter they will be. They'll look better after a while."

"Really?" Deng Qingling couldn't believe that the ugly duckling would turn into a white swan.

"Yes, that's generally the case," Zhou Jing comforted.

"That's good, then I feel relieved." Deng Qingling said and then looked at the baby again. Her gentle eyes made her whole body exude maternal radiance.

"You should take a nap and have some rest first. I'll take the baby out to show everyone," Zhou Jing said.

"Okay, thank you for your help, sister-in-law," said Deng Qingling.

"It's okay, we are all family, no need to be so polite." Zhou Jing waved her hand, then picked up the baby and went to the main room.

When Liang Xueying saw the baby, she said, "Let me hold him. Is Ah Qing asleep? I made chicken soup."

"Just fell asleep," Zhou Jing said as she handed the baby to her arms.

After Liang Xueying took the baby, everyone gathered around to look at her nephews and nieces. In their generation, apart from the children of their married daughter, only Jianping was married and had children.

This is the first grandchild in their families, so he is naturally very popular.

Guo Youxing looked at the tiny baby in the quilt. He wanted to touch him but didn't dare, fearing that his rough hands and feet would hurt him. He whispered, "He looks just like Jianping. He and his father look like cut from the same cloth."

Big Bom: "Yes, they are very similar. The little mouth and eyebrows are especially similar."

Erbom: "He has such nice hair, long, black and thick."

Liang Xueying: "I think she looks a bit like Ayu"

Dabom: "Of course, Ayu looks just like Jianping."

Guo Jianjun: “I can’t tell who he looks like.”

Guo Yu: "It's so red, wrinkled, and ugly, how could it possibly look like me?"

Liang Xueying was originally smiling happily, but her face instantly fell when she heard this, and she shouted softly: "What nonsense are you talking about! Who isn't wrinkled when they are just born? You were even wrinklier than him when you were just born!"

"Besides, the redder the skin is when a baby is born, the whiter it will become later."

He looks very smart normally, but why does he have a mouth that never says anything nice?

I thought she had grown up and become sensible, but it turned out she was still a child.

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that she had not told her eldest wife and in-laws yet.

(The old lady is the grandmother, and the name varies in different places)

"Mu Yang, please go to town tomorrow and call Jianping to tell him that Aqing has given birth. Also, go to my in-laws to announce the good news."

"Okay, I have to send Shuzi to town tomorrow anyway," said Guo Muyang.

My daughter also has to go to school tomorrow.

"Ajun, go to your uncle's house and tell your grandma. I guess your grandma must be waiting anxiously." She called Guo Jianjun to tell the good news.

Guo Jianjun nodded and walked out quickly.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back first," said Tang Bom Zengdi.

"Okay, thank you for troubling me today. Remember to come for dinner later," said Liang Xueying.

Tang Bom said, "Okay, no need to be so polite." Then everyone can come!

After saying that, he took his son and daughter-in-law home.

When dinner was ready, Deng Qingling was still sleeping, so Liang Xueying had to wake her up and ask her to get up and have dinner.

The first thing she said when she woke up was: "Where's the baby?"

Liang Xueying quickly brought the baby over and smiled softly: "Here, you have been sleeping, so I fed him some porridge oil."

Deng Qingling took the baby and looked at him. He was still so ugly. Will he be able to get married when he grows up?

It seems that I need to make more money in the future. It’s okay if I’m ugly, but if I’m poor and ugly, no one will want me.

"Oh, look at our baby, he's so handsome. His mouth and eyebrows are the same as his father's. He will definitely be a handsome boy in the future," Liang Xueying said with a smile.

Deng Qingling: “…” Excuse me for being blunt, but I really can’t tell.

She's so ugly that if she hadn't been born at home, I would have thought she was taken away by mistake.

I really admire you. You can tell who a newborn baby looks like, but I can't tell at all.

Liang Xueying got up and brought a bowl of chicken soup. The chicken soup was made by removing the chicken skin, so it would not be so greasy. It is not advisable to eat too greasy food after giving birth.

"Drink some soup first and then eat, and then see if you have milk."

Deng Qingling put the baby on the bed, took the chicken soup, took a sip and said, "Mom, did you forget to add salt to this chicken soup? Why doesn't it taste salty?"

"I didn't forget, it's better not to add salt," said Liang Xueying.

"It has no taste and is so unpalatable. I can't drink it. It makes me feel nauseous and want to vomit after drinking it." Deng Qingling really felt that it was unpalatable.

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll get you some salt. Wait a minute." After saying that, he strode out.

"Come on, just a little bit is enough. Just a little flavor is enough, but not too strong." Liang Xueying sprinkled a little salt into the chicken soup.

"It has a little taste, but not quite strong enough," said Deng Qingling after stirring the soup evenly and taking a sip.
