"Big sister, please give it a name!" Zhang Hujun said with a silly smile.
Old man Zhang said, "I'll get it."
Zhang Hujun scratched his head and said, "Dad, let my eldest sister choose the name. The name you chose..."
Old man Zhang glared, "Why? Do you dislike the name I gave you?"
Wang glared at Old Man Zhang and said, "Shut up and let Danier take it."
Old man Zhang shut up angrily and stopped talking about naming it himself.
Zhang Hulan said: "This little guy knows how to pick the time and chooses to be born in the New Year.
A new year, a new life, and it is born on the first day of the new year; to welcome the new year and to welcome the blessings, let’s call it Yingchun. ”
"Welcome the spring and receive blessings? Welcome the spring?"
Zhang Hujun's eyes lit up, "What a good name!"
"Good!" Wang also thought that the name had a good meaning.
Zhang Dahua tapped the kid's nose with her finger and asked, "Grandma, can I go in to see mom now?"
"Go, go! You can go now."
Zhang Dahua ran into the room, and Li was resting with her eyes closed. When she heard the sound, she opened her eyes.
Zhang Dahua asked softly, "Mom, how are you?"
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "It's okay. I've taken good care of myself these past few months, and I've been taking ginseng slices. I feel much better than when I gave birth to you and Xiaojun."
Zhang Dahua said, "Thanks to my aunt! By the way, mother, my aunt named me Yingchun. Yingchun means to receive blessings."
Li smiled and said, "This is a good name. Your aunt is good at naming."
Xiang Chunhua also said: "That's right, the name given by elder sister is still better."
Zhang Dahua covered her mouth and laughed, "Grandpa wanted to give me a name, but grandma stopped me."
Li also laughed and said, "Fortunately, I didn't ask your grandfather to take it, otherwise it would be a military affair again!"
Thinking of the names of the two pairs of father and son, Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing, as well as Zhang Xiaojun and Zhang Xiaobing, Li, Zhang Dahahua and Xiang Chunhua all laughed.
Mrs. Qi Wen said at the door: "Okay, you just take a look. It's cold outside. Don't let the child get cold."
Zhang Hulan quickly handed the child to Qi Wenpo, and Zhang Hujun didn't even have a chance to hold the child.
He could only follow Li into the house and then hug his youngest son.
Zhang Hulan also went into the house to see Li.
Po Qi put the baby next to Li, and Doctor Yu examined Li and said that she was in good health and did not need any medicine.
Li asked Zhang Hujun to give the money to the midwife. Zhang Hulan took out five taels of silver and handed it to Qi, the midwife, "Thank you for your hard work today."
Mrs. Qi said hurriedly, "That's too much! We don't need so much."
Zhang Hulan said, "It's Chinese New Year, so just consider it as wedding money."
Li said hurriedly, "Sister, how can I let you pay the money?"
Zhang Hulan said, "Why not? I am Xiao Yingchun's aunt. I, as the aunt, will give the money."
Zhang Hulan stuffed the silver into Qi Wenpo's hand, and Qi Wenpo was so happy.
Generally speaking, it would cost only 100 to 200 Wen to deliver a baby at home. If a wealthy family gave more, it would still be 300 to 500 Wen at most.
Only the wealthy families could give one or two, or twenty or three taels of silver.
Zhang Hulan gave him five taels at once, how could he not be happy!
Qi Wen Po took the silver and said with a smile: "This child is a lucky one!"
Zhang Hulan then ordered Zhang Hubing to send Doctor Yu and Qi Wenpo back.
Everyone left the room, leaving only Zhang Dahua in the room to keep him company.
The child has been born, and both mother and child are safe, so the rest of the people went back to sleep.
In the room, Li undressed and put her nipple close to the little guy's mouth, who immediately started sucking on it.
Zhang Dahua looked at him with a smile and asked, "Mom, how come this child knows only how to drink milk right after birth?"
Li couldn't answer this question either. She could only smile and say it was probably instinct.
As soon as the sun rose, Zhang Xinyue and the other two and Zhang Xiaobing got up.
When I put on my clothes and kowtowed to Old Man Zhang and Wang to receive New Year's money, I found out that they had a new brother.
All the children ran into Li's room to see Zhang Yingchun.
Wang got up early and cooked brown sugar eggs for Li, who was eating them now.
The family had prepared everything, including several live chickens bought for Li. There were also a lot of eggs and brown sugar prepared by Zhang Hulan.
The little guy was still sleeping. Zhang Xinyue reached out her finger and gently touched Zhang Yingchun's nose, then asked, "Aunt, little brother's nose is so small, even smaller than mine. And his mouth and ears are also small."
Li smiled and said, "It was the same when you were born. Newborns are always small."
Zhang Xiaobing looked at Zhang Yingchun, then said to his mother, "Mom, when will you give me a brother or sister?"
Zhang Xinyue looked at Xiang Chunhua again and said, "Yes, little aunt, you said some time ago that you wanted to have another child. Now that your eldest aunt has given birth, when will you give birth?"
Zhang Hulan also followed the child to join in the fun, "Yes, Chunhua, you and Hubing have to work hard to add another person to our family this year."
Xiang Chunhua felt embarrassed by Zhang Hulan and the children. She whispered, "This matter can't be rushed!"
Zhang Xiaobing then watched Li eat the eggs and asked, "Aunt, are the brown sugar eggs delicious? Are they sweet?"
Li smiled and brought the bowl to Zhang Xiaobing's mouth, letting him drink a sip of the sugar and egg water.
Zhang Xiaobing finished drinking it and said, "It's so sweet!"
Xiang Chunhua grabbed Zhang Xiaobing's ear and said, "You little bastard, this is to nourish your aunt's body. Also, it is to increase your aunt's milk supply.
Your aunt eats to feed your little brother, so if you eat, what will your brother eat?"
Zhang Xiaobing suddenly asked: "Will I have milk after eating? I can also feed my little brother with milk."
Li almost spit out the egg water in her mouth. Zhang Hulan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Zhang Xiaobing looked like a foodie.
Zhang Xinyao asked: "Aunt, does my little brother have a name?"
Li smiled and nodded, "Yes, it was your mother who gave it to me."
"What's the name?" Zhang Xinyue asked.
"Call Yingchun."
"Wow! My mother gave me such a nice name."
Zhang Xiaobing asked: "Does your little brother have a nickname? I don't have a nickname, but some children in the village do. Some are called Goudaner, some are called Gousheng..."
Xiang Chunhua slapped Zhang Xiaobing and said, "You're the only one who talks too much."
Zhang Hulan said, "It's not bad to give her a nickname. How about I give Xiao Yingchun one?"
Li had no objection, "Then the eldest sister will pick one."
Zhang Hulan thought about it and felt that nicknames like Goudan'er and Gousheng were too silly.
She also knew that giving her child a humble name would make it easier to raise him, but it couldn't be too silly.
She thought for a while, and then said, "Little Yingchun is a freshman, so why not just call her Chuyi?"
"The first day of the new year?" Xiang Chunhua asked, "Why is it called the first day of the new year?"
Zhang Hulan explained, "Just like his name, the first day of the new year represents a new beginning, a new starting point, and new hope."
