Chapter 38: Born



On the day of the Moon Worship Festival, Jiang Cheng got up early.

Xu Sanniang was cleaning the yard, and Song Tingzhi moved a table into the yard.

Jiang Cheng placed the things needed to worship the Moon God on the table one by one.

"Chengcheng, go to the village later and buy some rabbit lanterns so you can hold them in your hands and look at them at night."

Xu Sanniang and Jiang Cheng said.

"I understand, Mom." Jiang Cheng responded.

After packing up almost everything, Jiang Cheng went out with Song Tingzhi.

Walking on the street, Jiang Cheng greeted everyone who passed by.

Today is a holiday and everyone has a happy look on their face.

"Chengcheng, are you going to buy lanterns too?"

Jiang Cheng was walking on the road when someone patted his shoulder.

"Yes." Jiang Cheng knew it was He Xiaomi from the voice.

"Let's go together?" He Xiaomi glanced at Song Tingzhi and said to him, "You don't mind, right?"

He Xiaomi had a wicked smile on his face.

"How dare he!" Jiang Cheng answered directly for Song Tingzhi.

Song Tingzhi listened to their conversation and could do nothing.

There are people everywhere where rabbit lanterns are sold.

These rabbit lanterns were made one by one by Uncle Liu. They come in many styles and are cheap, so many people are willing to buy one for their children to play with.

People queuing up to buy lights were chatting, and Jiang Cheng and the others were listening to the gossip on the side.

After buying four unique rabbit lamps, Jiang Cheng and the other two went back.

When the moon came out at night, Xu Sanniang asked the children to line up one by one to worship the moon god.

"You must be sincere when you worship. The Moon Goddess will feel your father's sincerity."

Xu Sanniang kept giving instructions beside him.

Soon everyone finished their worship.

Jiang Cheng walked up to Song Tingzhi, holding the rabbit lantern. He asked, "What wish did you make?"

"Want to know?" Song Tingzhi pulled Jiang Cheng's hand. "It won't work if you tell me."

"Is it related to me?" Jiang Cheng didn't care and chased him to ask.

"I won't tell you!" Song Tingzhi looked mysterious.

"Hmph!" Jiang Cheng pouted, "Then I won't tell you either!"

Song Tingzhi smiled and held Jiang Cheng's hand tighter.

May we stay together year after year!

The moonlight stretched the figures of the two people very long.

After the Moon Goddess Festival, peace returned to the village.

The weather is getting colder, and everyone is living their lives as usual, preparing for the coming of winter.

These days, Jiang Cheng always sees Song Qiangnan, the second son of the village chief, walking around the village.

Sometimes he has a smile on his face, and there is a strange atmosphere around him.

Jiang Cheng also told his family about the matter.

Xu Sanniang guessed that the boy from the Song family might have a girl he liked.

But I don’t know which family it is, as there are many beautiful girls in the village.

Xu Sanniang planned to take another look.

A few days later, the hundred-day banquet for Aunt Jiang's eldest grandson next door was coming.

Aunt Jiang was very happy to have a grandson.

The full moon celebration was grand, and the hundred-day banquet was also taken seriously, inviting acquaintances in the village to dinner.

The Song family is naturally among them.

Early in the morning, Xu Sanniang prepared a red bag with thirty cents stuffed in it, and also prepared one for Jiang Cheng and his wife.

Even if other families don’t prepare money, they will prepare some eggs, fresh vegetables or homemade food.

I never come to eat empty-handed.

The whole family arrived at Aunt Jiang's house, greeted Aunt Jiang, and then Xu Sanniang took Jiang Cheng to see her son Tiedan.

The name Tiedan was given by Aunt Jiang.

A humble name is easy to maintain!

When he learned to read, he was called by his full name, Song Ling, which was given by Li Wan.

It means rising step by step, and it reflects Li Wan’s expectations for her son.

Xu Sanniang brought Jiang Cheng to Li Wan.

"Oh my—it's so cute!"

Xu Sanniang touched Xiao Songling's face and praised him.

"Yes, this child is really handsome!"

"Look at her eyebrows and eyes, she looks so much like Li Wan! And her skin is so fair!"

"It looks much better than when Dawei was born!"

The aunts and grandmothers around looked at the fair and tender little Song Ling in the cradle, and all had kind smiles on their faces.

Jiang Cheng looked at the child in Li Wan's arms, a little dazed.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but wonder what his and Song Tingzhi's children would be like?

If he were like Song Tingzhi, he would definitely look a bit fierce at a young age, and maybe he would become the leader of children when he grows up!

If she were like me, she would be very well-behaved, fair and tender, and must be very beautiful!

Why haven't I made any move yet?

"Chengcheng——"

Xu Sanniang looked at Jiang Cheng in a trance and called out.

"Hey - what's wrong?" Jiang Cheng came back to his senses, his face a little hot. Why was he thinking about these things? He was so embarrassed!

"Do you think the baby born by Sister Li is pretty?" asked Xu Sanniang.

Jiang Cheng nodded, little babies are naturally very cute.

"When will you and Tingzhi have a fat baby?" Xu Sanniang whispered in Jiang Cheng's ear.

"Mom——" Jiang Cheng felt his face turn red.

"By the way, Jiang Cheng has been here for a long time! Why is there no good news yet?"

"Yes, we should hurry up and have more children while we are still young! It is a blessing to have children!"

"Song boy is so strong, he must be in good health! We must hold on tight!"

The aunts around looked at Jiang Cheng, suddenly turned the topic to Jiang Cheng, and began to urge her to give birth.

"Don't worry! The child is still young!"

Xu Sanniang interrupted with a smile.

"This is Sister Jiang's place, don't talk about anything else. When there's good news, you'll definitely have plenty to eat!"

"It's a deal!"
