Mother Gu glanced at her and said, "What are you talking about? You are my daughter-in-law. I don't have a daughter, but you are my daughter. You gave me a grandson, so I should be the one thanking you.
Wanqing, thank you for your hard work. You just need to take good care of yourself after the period. Your mother and I will take care of the child, and you will be responsible for taking care of your health.
Let's not do it for one month, let's do it for three months. During this time, I will make up for the loss of your body. "After saying that, he handed the spoon in the bowl to her.
"Yes, I'm your mother. Why are you telling me you're working so hard? Come on, drink the soup. I'll give you a confinement meal later.
As for confinement after childbirth, listen to your mother-in-law and do it for three months, otherwise it will hurt your body. "After saying that, he took the changed diaper and left.
After giving her a few more instructions, Mother Gu also left to wash the diapers, leaving only the four of them, mother and children, in the room.
While drinking soup and looking at her biological child who was the third of two lives, He Wanqing liked him more and more. She even had no objection to the child being kept in confinement for three months.
Mother Gu, who had just finished washing the diapers, looked at her smiling face, put the dry diapers aside, and asked as she folded them:
"Wanqing, our third baby has been born for a day, and you haven't named him yet. You can think of a name for him now while you have time!"
When Mother Gu said this, He Wanqing stared at her with wide eyes and said, "Mom, do you really want me to name the child???"
She knew that many children in the village were named by their grandfathers and fathers after they were born. Apart from giving birth to children, the mother did not have the right to name them.
Of course, some reasonable families will let their daughter-in-law give the child a nickname, but the full name must be given by the male elders in the family and is based on the family tree.
"Yes, mother-in-law, are you sure the triplets were not named by your grandfather, but by my daughter Wanqing???"
She had seen Grandpa Gu flipping through a dictionary more than once, so when she heard what Mother Gu said, she always felt that she was wrong.
Seeing the expressions of the mother and daughter, Mother Gu put the diaper aside, sat on the kang and said with a smile:
"Well, let Wanqing name him. Your grandfather said that you gave birth to the child, so you should name him. As for him and Cheng'an's father, they don't need to be given a full name. Just a nickname will do."
As soon as Gu's mother said this, He Wanqing shook her head and said, "Mom, let grandpa name the child. I think he almost tore up the dictionary in order to name the child.
And I believe the triplets are very happy with the names given to them by their grandfather. After all, the names given by their great grandfather must be full of blessings. ”
It’s not that she didn’t want to name her own child, but she couldn’t bear to disappoint the old man. .
After she finished speaking, He's mother on the side also nodded in agreement, saying the same thing. It would definitely be better to let Grandpa Gu, who was well prepared, come up with a name than for her to cram at the last minute.
Seeing that the mother and daughter had the same idea, Mother Gu thought about it, nodded to them, put down the unfolded diaper, and went to the main room to ask Grandpa Gu.
After Gu's mother left, He's mother looked at her daughter who was looking at the triplets lovingly: "Will there be any regrets???"
He Wanqing reached out and gently stroked the child, shaking her head: "Mom, they were named by Grandpa, I am so happy, how can I regret it?"
That was a name blessed by the elders. She, a short-lived person with a disease in her previous life, could definitely not compare to it.
The most important thing is that Grandpa Gu is a righteous man and he will definitely be able to give the triplets a name that they can support.
The mother and daughter were chatting quietly in the room, and from time to time they were looking at the sleeping triplets with happy smiles on their faces. Mother Gu, who went to the main room to ask Grandpa Gu for names, walked in with a grin on her face, holding a piece of red paper with names written on it.
"Here, take a look. These are the names your grandfather gave to the children according to their generational order. Pick three from them and keep the rest for the next generation."
Putting the red paper in her hand, Mother Gu walked to the diapers and continued to fold them.
Looking at the red paper full of names in her hand, He Wanqing looked up and exchanged glances with He's mother, then lowered her head to look at the names on the red paper and started selecting.
Ten minutes later, after selection by the three of them plus Grandpa He, Grandpa Shen, and Grandpa Gu, the names of the triplets were officially announced.
They are the eldest brother Gu Mobai, the second brother Gu Moping, and the third brother Gu Moan.
After the triplets' names were decided, their nicknames were also decided upon with the encouragement of Grandpa Gu and others.
The eldest is sweet potato, the second is steamed bun, and the third is sticky bean curd.
When He Wanqing said the three brothers' nicknames, everyone in the room had an indescribable expression.
In order not to upset her, they accepted the names reluctantly, but no one called the three brothers by their nicknames. They all called them by their full names, so much so that when the three brothers grew up they were still curious about why they had no nicknames.
After the name is decided, the next step is to take care of the baby after childbirth.
It was announced to the public that He Wanqing's confinement period was three months, one month for each child, but in the end, He's mother and Gu's mother forced her to stay in confinement for four and a half months.
Four and a half months passed in a flash, and it was time for spring planting again.
He Wanqing felt distressed when she saw her mother busying herself day and night again.
She put the triplets to sleep on the kang and went to the kitchen to start making lunch.
"Aunt, grandma told you not to make lunch. Aunt and my mom made it at home. She told you to just take care of your brothers."
He Yuan finished speaking and ran away without waiting for her to answer.
Looking at the hen in the pot and thinking for a while, she decided to cover the pot and start to make soup. If she didn't drink it at noon, she could eat it in the evening.
"Grandpa, you're back." As soon as I walked out of the kitchen, I saw Grandpa Gu coming back with a fish basket on his back.
"Well, there are not many fish today. By the way, your grandfather just told me that we should go over there for lunch at noon. You should go over there early and I will help your grandfather throw the seeds." After saying that, he put down the fish basket and left.
He Wanqing raised her hand and was about to say something but before she could finish a word, she could only look at Grandpa Gu's back and shake her head.
"Sister, what are you doing standing at the door?"
Chen Ping, who came to visit with her children, saw her looking at the village entrance. She couldn't help but look in the direction she was looking. When she finally found that there was nothing, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Nothing. Why did you carry Su He out? It's very windy and cold now. Hurry up and carry him into the house." As he said that, he took her hand and led her into the house.
"I was bored at home alone. When I got home, my dad and his family had gone to the fields again, as had my aunt and her family. So I came over to play with you."
When he got into the house, he unswaddled his son, revealing a chubby, white boy who was walking around with his eyes open.
"Xiao Ping, has Su He gained weight again? I feel like he has a big double chin." Looking at her three-month-old nephew looking around with his eyes open, she reached out and began teasing him.
"Yeah, he's gained a lot of weight." Chen Ping was very proud of her son's weight gain and thought that she had good breast milk.
