Aunt Zhang told Qin Wan,
"The milk that the child drinks is actually made from the mother's blood, so as long as you feed the child, you don't have to worry about whether he is fat or not." Qin Wan nodded.
When the two were chatting animatedly, footsteps were heard at the door, and then the door curtain was lifted, and Ge Xiuxiu walked in, followed by a woman.
Aunt Zhang had good eyesight and spotted the two people who walked in at a glance. A smile immediately appeared on her face and she greeted them warmly, "Xiu Xiu is here! Come and sit down and rest your feet! Oh, this is..."
Smiling, Ge Xiuxiu quickly walked over to the crowd, reached out and took the woman in her arms, introducing her to everyone, "Aunt Zhang, this is my sister-in-law, Li Cuihua. She heard me say that Wanwan gave birth to four sons in a row, so she came all the way here to see us, hoping to share in the good news!"
Then, she pointed at Qin Wan and Aunt Zhang and introduced them to the woman one by one: "The young one is Qin Wan, you can just call her Sister Qin. This one is Aunt Zhang, you can call her Aunt Zhang like us."
Li Cuihua stood there looking a little uneasy. She just nodded slightly and then timidly called out, "Sister Qin, Aunt Zhang."
Qin Wan and Ge Xiuxiu had a good relationship, so there was no need to beat around the bush when speaking. She asked half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Xiu Xiu, what happened? Why did you suddenly think of running here to get some good fortune? What you're doing is really superstitious. If anyone knew about this, they'd definitely hold a struggle session to criticize you."
It was not until this time that Ge Xiuxiu suddenly realized the problem. Although everyone believed in ghosts and gods in private, they all acted very serious and solemn on the surface, and did not even dare to mention these things.
She quickly looked around and then said in a deliberately low voice, "Oh, it's just because we have a good relationship, so I didn't think too much about it."
"Although we do have a good relationship, we still need to be careful to avoid being overheard by others. You must be more careful in the future and never cause unnecessary trouble due to a momentary negligence."
"I know. Even if you didn't tell me, I would have been paying attention to it. What's this person thinking? He reports people at every turn, even though some of them have nothing to do with him. Yet, he still reports them." Ge Xiuxiu sighed.
"You mean the incident where the woman in the housing estate of the machinery factory in the city reported her neighbors? Well, I heard that her neighbors were an elderly couple, both very old and frail. They just wanted to rent out a house to bring some family members into their home, so that if they got sick, they could help call for help. But the woman found out and reported the elderly couple." Aunt Zhang said.
When the two elderly people were arrested, Aunt Zhang's son was also at the scene. He later followed the group to the village committee, so he knew a lot.
As the others were talking, Ge Xiuxiu's sister-in-law Li Cuihua secretly pulled Ge Xiuxiu's clothes. Ge Xiuxiu then remembered the important matter and lowered her voice to say:
"My sister-in-law gave birth to three daughters in a row. When she heard me say that you, Guan Huang, had given birth to four at once, she couldn't sit still. She insisted on coming with me to hold the children, hoping to get some blessing and give birth to a son next time."
As he spoke, he took out half a pound of brown sugar from his bag.
Qin Wan said, "Just hug him. You'll lose a piece of meat if you hug him, why bother taking anything else?"
When Li Cuihua heard that Qin Wan agreed to let her hold her son, her face was immediately filled with smiles, and her eyes were fixed on the little baby in Aunt Zhang's arms, as if she wanted to see some signs of her son's fate from them:
"Oh, this is the child born to Qin Wan. It's so cute. It looks like a blessed child."
Aunt Zhang handed the child to Li Cuihua with a smile, and chatted with Li Cuihua cordially:
"Cuihua, I understand your thoughts. We also have this practice here. But if you want a son, it's not difficult. Just pray to the Goddess of Childbirth more often. Sincere heart will do the trick."
Upon hearing this, Li Cuihua nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Aunt Zhang is right. When I go back, I will definitely pray to the Goddess of Fertility more often and try to give birth to a big fat boy next year."
Qin Wan smiled bitterly, looked at Aunt Zhang helplessly and said:
"Aunt Zhang, listen to what I just said to Xiuxiu! How come you've become so feudal and superstitious in just the blink of an eye?"
Aunt Zhang's face was filled with embarrassment. She quickly reached out and patted her head a few times, and quickly assured herself:
"Oh my, look at my stupid brain! I was just muttering that I shouldn't be superstitious, but I turned my head and forgot everything."
At this time, Li Cuihua was holding the child, her face full of piety. When she heard this conversation, she looked a little embarrassed and said:
"Aunt, this is all my fault. If it weren't for me..."
Qin Wan quickly waved his hands and comforted him:
"Sister-in-law, don't think so. I'm just giving you a heads-up, don't take it too seriously. If you ask me, having children is a matter of fate. So, we should not be too gullible about those so-called lucky charms."
Ge Xiuxiu also echoed:
"That's right, sister-in-law, don't be impatient. When fate arrives, you will naturally have a son."
Li Cuihua was delighted by what they said and nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, I'm not anxious. I'm not anxious. I just want to see the children. I don't have any other thoughts."
As she spoke, she took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Qin Wan: "Sister, this is a gift for the children. You have to keep it well for them."
Qin Wan knew that there was a saying about blessing someone, that is, the more valuable the gift, the more sincere the heart. Although this saying may not be correct, it is indeed true when you think about it. The more something you give, of course the more it is valued.
Qin Wan couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it: "Okay, I'll thank my sister-in-law on behalf of the children."
When a few people were chatting enthusiastically and having a great time, Wang Yanhong came again.
She is a frequent visitor here. The reason is, firstly, because she has a good relationship with Qin Wan; secondly, and most importantly, she really can't stand her mother-in-law's nagging voice from morning to night.
As soon as she entered the yard, she was shocked by the number of people in front of her and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise:
"Hey! What's going on? The house is so lively."
Before she finished speaking, she spotted Li Cuihua sitting there and greeted her warmly:
"Oh! It's Sister Cuihua. Please come in. I'm about to give birth and I'm not feeling well. I haven't had time to clean up the house. Please don't think I'm sloppy."
Li Cuihua waved her hands hurriedly and said:
"Don't mind, don't mind. I just came to see the children. Look at these children, they are so strong and healthy. They are so blessed."
Wang Yanhong nodded and smiled, "That's right. Healthy children are more important than anything else. Sister-in-law, don't worry. When fate brings you luck, you'll naturally be able to hold a big fat boy."
