Chapter 64: Everyone's Reactions
"Comrade, let me hold the baby first." Yang Jinsheng stretched out his hand and asked the nurse.
The nurse nodded. "Hold him! You know how to hold him? This hand holds the back of his neck, and this hand is here."
After some instruction, Yang Jinsheng successfully held the child. Looking at his son sleeping soundly in his arms, his heart instantly softened. It turned out that this was his son, so little!
"Come on, let me hold him, let me hold him." Sun Erni was so envious that she also wanted to hug her eldest grandson who she had been waiting for so long.
"I'll hold the baby for you when we get back to the ward. Come with me now." The nurse took the child from Yang Jinsheng's arms and walked straight forward.
Sun Erni hurriedly followed, and then suddenly remembered Li Huifen and Su Qiuyan who had been forgotten, and quickly turned around and told them: "Huifen Qiuyan, you should also hurry home. Tomorrow morning, make some thick porridge and send it to the hospital. Then ask the second child to go to the seafood store to see if there are any crucian carps. If there are, buy two."
Seeing that her two daughters-in-law looked distracted, Sun Erni couldn't help but frown and asked, "Did you hear what I just said?"
"I heard you, I heard you. Let's go buy some fish tomorrow." Su Qiuyan quickly cheered up and replied.
"And make porridge in the morning and send it to the hospital." Li Huifen also replied.
After hearing this, Sun Erni nodded with satisfaction, turned around and trotted to the ward following the nurse in front of her.
At the Yang family, when Li Huifen and Su Qiuyan arrived home, Yang Jinqiang and Yang Jinwei had already fallen asleep with the children.
As soon as the two entered the room, they walked towards their room without saying a word, without wiping their faces or washing their feet, and just lay down on the bed.
Yang Jinqiang was surprised to see someone suddenly around him. He turned around and saw that it was Li Huifen. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "You're back. How's it going? Did you give birth?"
"It's born." Li Huifen's voice was very low.
"Boy or girl?"
"A boy, a boy, weighing 15.2 jins. Mom will be so happy. He's very strong, but what should I do? I, as the eldest sister-in-law, will be completely suppressed by my third brother's wife..." Li Huifen said with a sad face and looked aggrieved. She also wanted to have a boy, but her belly was not cooperative. She had not been pregnant since she gave birth to two daughters.
Yang Jinqiang was silent for a moment, then smiled and comforted: "What's the big deal? We already have Zhenzhen and Ningning. It's good for the third child to have a son, so that outsiders won't always say that our Yang family can't give birth to sons."
"No matter how good a daughter is, she has to get married. When Zhenzhen and the others grow up and get married, we will be the only ones left. Who will support us, Jinqiang..." Li Huifen became more and more scared as she spoke. Although she was still very young, she couldn't help crying when she thought about how they would be lonely and helpless when they were old.
Hearing this, Yang Jinqiang strangely did not share the same feeling. He spoke with some difficulty: "Huifen, do you think having a son is a good thing?"
"Isn't it?" Li Huifen asked back.
"Let me put it this way, how do you think my parents live? Or how do your parents live?"
"Yang Jinqiang, just say whatever you want to say. Don't beat around the bush." Li Huifen's mind was a mess at the moment and she was too lazy to think.
Yang Jinqiang sat up, leaned against the wall and analyzed the situation to his wife: "Huifen, look, my parents have three sons. When we were young, they had to earn money to support our education and food. When we grew up, they had to spend money to marry us wives. That's not all. We have to help raise the children. The ten yuan we give them every month for food is definitely not enough for our family of four, not to mention that mom cooks for the two children from time to time.
Not to mention your mother's family, your brother is a loser, not only does he rely on his parents, he also often relies on you, his sister..."
"Hey, what do you mean? Why is my brother so useless?" Li Huifen couldn't bear to hear this.
"Then what do you think your brother will achieve? You left him the job before we got married, but he's still so lazy at work. I thought everything would be fine after he got married, but it turned out to be even worse. He's living off his parents with his whole family. I tell you, if I had a son like your brother, I'd rather have no son at all."
"Well, even if you have no future, you can't say it so openly! Besides, my job originally belonged to my mother, and we agreed to return it to my brother after I get married."
Li Huifen's mother was in poor health at that time, but Li Bao was not old enough, so Li Huifen had to take over first, and it was agreed that the business would be returned to Li Bao after they got married.
"Hmph, you're the only one who's honest. If I let your second sister take over, see if she'll return it?" Yang Jinqiang felt that among his wife's three children, his wife was the most honest, or the easiest to control, so his father-in-law and mother-in-law could step on their bottom line, but they wouldn't do that again in the future.
"Okay, okay, why are you talking about my mother's home again? You're going too far." Li Huifen was getting impatient. They were all old news, and they were still bringing it up.
"Aren't you worried about having a son? I'm just trying to comfort you."
"Then giving birth to a son can be my own business?"
“Then I worked hard too!”
"You mean my land is not fertile anymore?"
Next door, Yang Jinwei was also woken up and whispered to his wife who had just come to bed, "What happened? What happened in the hospital? My sister-in-law quarreled with my brother as soon as she came back."
Su Qiuyan lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and said, "Nothing happened, except that Xinbai gave birth to a son."
"Oh, the baby is born! That's great! Mom must be so happy!" Yang Jinwei suddenly came to his senses. The baby was finally born.
"How can I not be happy? Mom finally got what she wanted."
"Well, be happy, our Yang family has a new baby."
"Happy, happy. By the way, Mom asked you to go to the seafood store early tomorrow and queue up to buy two crucian carps."
"Okay, I'll get up early then."
In the hospital, Jiang Xinbai was still awake when he just returned to the ward. He couldn't get enough of looking at the baby in the cradle.
"Xinbai, go to sleep while the baby is sleeping. Mom will make fish soup for you tomorrow morning." Sun Erni tucked the quilt for Jiang Xinbai. Although it was summer, a woman who had just given birth could not stand the wind, so it was better to cover herself tightly.
"Mom, it's a little hot." Jiang Xinbai felt that her whole body was sticky, and with a quilt, she really felt hot!
"Hey, Xinbai, you have just given birth, so you need to keep warm, otherwise you will have pain in your bones in the future. Also, you need to wear this headscarf properly, the forehead is also very important."
Jiang Xinbai had no choice but to lie down. Fortunately, he was tired enough and fell asleep soon.
Sun Erni woke up when it was just getting light. She immediately ran out to check the small bed next to the ward. Then she quickly unswaddled the baby and checked the diaper. Seeing that it was still dry, she took the baby back.
Then she gently patted Yang Jinsheng who was sleeping soundly, "Third brother, Mom will go back to get food for Xinbai first. You don't sleep anymore. Watch the child and don't lose him."
