Zhongzi suddenly roared in the yard. Grandma Yan knew that Cuihua and the others must have returned. She quickly placed the prepared brazier at the entrance of the yard and lit it.
In my hometown, there's a custom that a woman who has given birth outside the home must carry her child over a brazier to enter the house, as it's meant to drive away the evil spirits from outside.
Southeast slowly lowered the cart, helped Xue Mei off the cart, and Cuihua handed the child to Xue Mei. Xue Mei carried the child and stepped over the fire pit. Whether it was psychological or not, as soon as she stepped over the fire pit, she felt much lighter and more comfortable.
Grandma Yan quickly went up to take the child and looked him over carefully. The more she looked, the more she liked him: "My great-grandson, you look just like your aunt."
These words made Xue Mei, Dongnan, and Cuihua overjoyed. They were practically dizzy with happiness. It would be great if Nan Nan were like that. Nan Nan is a lucky charm. Does that mean their family has gained another lucky charm?
Grandma Yan listened to their murmurs and secretly rolled her eyes. They were thinking too much. Even God didn't send me a dream.
Southeast helped Xuemei and carried the child to the backyard. The house had been cleaned up, and the child's things were neatly placed on the kang (a heated brick bed). Xuemei was deeply moved. She thought that if she didn't treat her parents and grandmother well in the future, she would be worse than a pig or a dog.
Perhaps because she was eating well and in a good mood, Xue Mei had an abundance of breast milk, so much that the baby couldn't finish it all. Sometimes she would experience severe engorgement and pain at night, and that shameless guy Dongnan would take advantage of her.
A week later, the busy farming season finally ended, and Southwest and Tang Xiaoling's holiday also came to an end. They had to go back to work the next day, and the two of them were so tired that they just lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and took a nap first.
Because his wife was giving birth, Dongnan could go back a day later. Cuihua was busy preparing food for Dongnan to take back easily, so she brought extra dried meat and white rice. Xuemei had to stay to take care of her postpartum period, so Dongnan had to cook and wash his own clothes.
Grandma Yan brought a bowl of lukewarm chicken soup into Xue Mei's room, and Xue Mei drank it down in one gulp: "Grandma, what's this child's name?"
Grandma Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him Liujin as his nickname, and you can choose his formal name yourselves."
"Six Jin, Grandma, what a lovely nickname, just like Nan Nan." Xue Mei was delighted; listening to Grandma was definitely the right thing to do.
Southeast thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, how about we call her by her nickname for now, and then register her household registration and give her a proper name when I can go back to school?"
Grandma Yan didn't know why Dongnan did this, but the child had grown up, and it was time to let go.
Southeast left with a large suitcase full of things. Grandma was worried that Southwest's daughter-in-law would be unhappy, so she held Tang Xiaoling's hand and said, "Daughter, Grandma will treat you like this when you give birth."
Tang Xiaoling really didn't mind. She knew the Yan family's character well, so she smiled and said, "Grandma, I was afraid you would mistreat me, but my belly is really not cooperating. Sigh, it's so worrying."
Yan Xiaonan's superpower upgrades every year, but he can never figure out the pattern of his superpower. Now, after hearing Tang Xiaoling's words, Yan Xiaonan wants to try his superpower.
With her eyes closed, Yan Xiaonan's consciousness drifted to Tang Xiaoling's abdomen, where a mass of internal organs lay. She looked at it from all angles but couldn't make heads or tails of it. "Never mind," she thought, "I don't understand medicine, so it's pointless to look." Yan Xiaonan opened her eyes.
What Yan Xiaonan didn't know was that Tang Xiaoling suddenly felt a warm, comfortable sensation in her abdomen.
"Grandma, my tummy suddenly feels so good, I don't know why," Tang Xiaoling said to Grandma Yan, touching her belly.
Grandma Yan was puzzled, but she also secretly glanced at Ye Xiaonan. Ye Xiaonan was startled and wondered what was going on.
I quickly closed my eyes and focused my consciousness on my body, scanning my entire body, but I couldn't feel anything.
Why don't we try it on Grandma's wrist? But we can't use things we don't know the details of. Let's try it on Grandma's wrist joints, since she always says her joints hurt.
The sensation spread to Grandma's right wrist, where the joint had been injured from long-term overwork, and it would ache when it rained or was windy.
Grandma Yan noticed that her precious child's eyes were closed, and she was a little anxious, but Tang Xiaoling was there, so she couldn't say anything. After a while, Grandma Yan felt her right wrist was warm, as if there was a constant stream of heat providing energy inside her wrist.
Grandma Yan felt uncomfortable from the cold and dampness, and her wrists, which had been stiff when she turned them, could now move freely. She almost cried. Her precious baby's magical power must have increased again, but she was always worried that her baby might leave them and go back to heaven.
Yan Xiaonan was getting anxious. Her superpower had been used on her grandmother's wrist and couldn't be pulled back. Her grandmother's wrist was slowly turning back, but her superpower couldn't be pulled back. Finally, with a headache, Yan Xiaonan successfully fell into a deep sleep.
Grandma Yan was anxious. Her little darling had used up all her magic power again. Her wrist had been a problem for decades. How much magic power would it take to cure it? Her little darling, you are such a silly little thing.
Yan Xiaonan's unconsciousness terrified Tang Xiaoling. Her screams attracted Cuihua in the kitchen, Yan Xiaoqiang in the pigsty, and Bei Nan, who was reading in the room.
When Cuihua and Yan Xiaoqiang saw their daughter's appearance, they knew she must have used magic again, but where exactly? Yan Xiaoqiang's eyes swept around and settled on Tang Xiaoling.
Tang Xiaoling was frightened by Yan Xiaoqiang's somewhat sinister gaze: "Dad, it's not my fault, it's not my fault!"
Grandma Yan then noticed her son's expression and quickly said, "Xiaoling, go back to your room first. Nannan's old problem is nothing new; he'll be fine in a little while."
Tang Xiaoling nodded quickly, turned around and left. Oh my god, for the first time she realized that the scariest person in the family was her father-in-law.
After Tang Xiaoling left, Grandma Yan said to Bei Nan, "Do your homework well and get good grades tomorrow. Don't let Nan Nan down."
Bei Nan also knew that Yan Xiaonan had a problem with fainting spells since she was a child: "Grandma, why don't we go to the hospital to get checked out and find out what's wrong?"
Grandma Yan waved her hand: "Go quickly, I promise everything will be alright."
Bei Nan glanced at Yan Xiaonan, then at her father who was about to explode in anger, and turned to leave.
Before Yan Xiaoqiang could ask, Grandma Yan told him what had just happened, and then raised her wrist and said, "Qiangzi, look, your mother's hand can move freely again."
Yan Xiaoqiang held Grandma Yan's hand; it was warm to the touch, no longer feeling cold like before.
Cuihua burst into tears: "Mother, Nannan is so good. She must know that my magic can heal your hand. She probably ran out of magic and needs to sleep to replenish it."
Grandma Yan nodded and waved her hand, saying, "You all go about your business. I'll stay here with my little one."
Grandma Yan picked up a large palm-leaf fan and slowly began to fan Yan Xiaonan. The fan moved up and down, creating a cool breeze and conveying Grandma Yan's love.
