Before Dongmei could open the window to look out, Ye Shan had already called out to the person who had come, "Zheng He, where are you going?"
Zheng He pulled on the reins and shouted, "The second young mistress is about to give birth! The old lady ordered me to go find the second young master and bring him back."
"Go quickly, go quickly!" Ye Shan waved his hand, signaling him to continue on his way.
Inside the carriage, Jiayin and Dongmei could hear it clearly.
Jiayin said excitedly, "Uncle Shan, let's go, let's go home to see our little nephew!"
Ye Shan smiled and raised the riding whip in his hand.
Threatened by the whip, the chestnut horse ran incredibly fast and arrived at the new village in no time.
Jiayin jumped off the carriage, grabbed her skirt, and ran into the courtyard.
Grandma Li was pacing around in the backyard.
Previously, the family had already converted a spare suite into a delivery room.
At this moment, Zhao Yuru, Sister Liu, Aunt Wu, and the midwife hired by Xiaowangzhuang were busy inside, and Wenjuan's low cries of pain could be heard from time to time.
Seeing her granddaughter return, Grandma Li picked her up in her arms, as if she had found her pillar of support, and asked repeatedly, "Fu Niu'er, do you think your sister-in-law will have a smooth delivery?"
Jiayin nodded emphatically, giving her grandmother a great sense of reassurance.
"Of course, Grandma, don't worry, my sister-in-law will definitely give birth to a healthy and chubby little nephew smoothly!"
Grandma Li immediately beamed with joy, picked up her granddaughter and swayed her back and forth, "Good, good, our Fu Niu'er is the luckiest, whatever Fu Niu'er says can come true!"
At this moment, Tao Hongying brought out a bowl of chicken noodle soup from the kitchen. Seeing the grandmother and granddaughter being so affectionate, she smiled and said, "Mom, Wenjuan has just started labor and won't give birth for a while."
"Please take Fu Niu'er to sit in the front. Doctor Zhang should be here soon. We're here, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Grandma Li nodded and replied, "I'm really too old and useless now. I don't remember being this worried about Fu Niu'er when she was born."
"I can't help now, and my hands and feet feel weak, and my head is buzzing."
Jiayin waved goodbye to her mother, then helped her grandmother forward, smiling and coaxing her.
“My grandma isn’t old at all. When I get married and have my baby, I’ll want her to be there to help.”
Grandma Li gently patted her granddaughter.
"Oh dear, how shameless! We're grown women now, we can't say things like that anymore, people will laugh if they hear us."
As they were talking, Doctor Zhang arrived.
The village chief and Uncle Zhao and a few others came over to join in the fun after hearing the news, and they sat together in the main room drinking tea and chatting.
Seeing that Old Lady Li was a little nervous, Doctor Zhang comforted her, saying, "I examine Jia Huan's daughter-in-law's pulse every few days."
"Today's production is a natural outcome, there's definitely no problem. Everyone, just wait for good news!"
Sure enough, Grandma Li's complexion improved considerably.
The village chief also said with a smile: "Think back to when we were struggling to survive in the mountains, we were afraid that some man would say that his wife was pregnant. That was not a happy event, but a terrible news!"
"Look at us now, our lives are thriving. Any child born at this time is blessed, especially one born into the Li family—they've practically fallen into a pit of good fortune!"
Everyone nodded in agreement and smiled in agreement.
After chatting for a while, Jia Huan hurried back on horseback.
Upon entering the courtyard, he was somewhat bewildered, unsure whether to greet the elders first or visit his wife.
Grandma Li was both amused and exasperated. She went out and gave her grandson a push.
"Go see your wife right away, talk to her through the window. She's giving birth to your baby, so don't upset her."
"Hey, hey!"
Jia Huan rushed to the backyard, and soon he could be heard shouting loudly, "Wen Juan, I'm back!"
"Just focus on giving birth, don't be afraid. After you give birth, I'll make you a braised pork knuckle!"
The people in the front yard were silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.
As expected of a chef, at times like this, he promises his wife food as encouragement, and he always serves elaborate dishes!
Inside the delivery room, Zhao Yuru and the others couldn't help but laugh non-stop.
Wenjuan was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.
Those who don't know her might think she's both greedy and lazy...
As darkness fell, Li Lao Er, Mr. Wen, and Li Zhensheng all rushed back from the city and gathered in the front courtyard hall to await the birth of the fourth generation of the Li family.
Perhaps the little one felt it had enough, and finally struggled and left its mother's belly.
The midwife was covered in sweat from exhaustion, but holding the chubby baby, she couldn't help but laugh and exclaimed, "Oh my, it's a chubby little boy with a penis! He must weigh over seven pounds!"
Soon, the message arrived, and everyone stood up, smiling and offering their congratulations.
Grandma Li was overjoyed and ran like the wind to the backyard to see her granddaughter-in-law, then carried her great-grandson in his swaddling clothes to the front yard.
The crowd gathered around, praising the chubby boy for his good looks.
Jiayin stood on tiptoe, trying hard to get a good look at her little nephew.
I remember in my past life, a college classmate got married and had a baby. When she went to visit, she saw the newborn baby once. The baby's skin was red and the face was full of wrinkles. The baby looked like a little monkey and was extremely ugly.
She praised the child's good looks, but inwardly she was full of surprise and disapproval.
But this little nephew in front of me has thick, black hair and a fair face. He's smacking his rosy lips, probably because he's hungry. He's just as adorable as can be!
Jiayin couldn't help but raise her hand and tap his little face. The chubby boy actually opened his eyes at that moment.
In that instant, Jiayin seemed to see the most dazzling star in the world.
"Grandma, is it okay if my little nephew's nickname is Xingxing (Star)?"
"Look, his eyes are like stars!"
Grandma Li had an uncanny trust in her granddaughter, and upon hearing this, she immediately nodded, "Okay, the chubby boy's nickname will be Xingxing (Star)."
"As for the name, let your uncles worry about it!"
Li Xingxing, the chubby fourth-generation member of the Li family, smacked his lips twice and then lazily closed his eyes.
I don't know if they tacitly approve of this name, or if they simply don't care...
On the morning of the eighth day of the second lunar month, the Li family members got up early to get busy.
The reason is simple: today is the third-day celebration for Xingxing (a child's name).
When the sun was high in the sky, Madam Liu, Madam Jia the Second, Madam Xing, and others arrived by carriage.
After exchanging a few words with them, Grandma Li went to see Wenjuan.
Thanks to Jiayin Space, most of the fruits and vegetables Wenjuan ate during her pregnancy were produced by the space.
Although these fruits and vegetables do not have the miraculous power to bring people back to life and heal flesh, they taste good and contain a faint spiritual energy. Long-term consumption can still nourish the body.
Therefore, Wenjuan was in good health and did not experience the vomiting, cramps, edema, or other symptoms that other women experience during pregnancy.
Now that the delivery is complete and the lochia has been successfully discharged, the food sacks are bulging.
Every time, they let Xingxing eat until he was stuffed, until he vomited...
In just two short days since arriving in this world, little Xingxing has already grown up a lot, becoming chubby and plump like a little meatball.
New life always brings hope to people's hearts, and no one can help but smile when faced with such a child.
Everyone surrounded the child, and they had so much to talk about.
