The birth of peace is chaotic, but also full of warmth.
The Chinese Medicine Department's final exam turned into a mess, but it became the envy of other medical students, because most medical students did not have the opportunity to practice medicine outside at this time. It was such an enviable thing to be able to encounter someone who needed emergency help on campus!
Perhaps because little Heping was the first baby delivered by many people, she was very much loved since her birth. She was held and passed around, and her thick curly hair was praised again and again.
After giving birth, Mu Huaixi fell into a coma due to exhaustion. When she woke up, she found that her little girl had curly hair. The small floral quilt wrapped around her looked unfamiliar. After asking, she learned that her grandparents had rushed over after receiving the news. Aunt Da Chu and Aunt Xiao Luo were supposed to bring the swaddling clothes, but because they were late in preparing the red eggs, her classmate - also a new mother - gave up her unused quilt.
"We have already sent her two quilts back. I thought we would send her more gifts when her baby is one month old," said the grandma, beaming with joy, her fingers stained with the red of the festive eggs.
She looked at her great-granddaughter lying next to her granddaughter-in-law and couldn't help but slow down her voice, "Look, our little Heping is so handsome."
When Ying Wuhui was a child, he looked more like Ying Mingcheng. Now that he has grown up, he has gradually taken on the features of his mother. The newly born Heping has long eyelashes and a pointed chin, and looks more like Mu Huaixi. It can be predicted that she will be a girl as bright as summer in the future.
"Little Heping," Mu Huaixi felt soft in his heart and gently touched her oily forehead, but he didn't expect that when Heping grew up, she would indeed be a girl like summer, but not bright, but a girl like a rainstorm.
Back to the present, it was already afternoon when Mu Huaixi woke up, and the evening wind was already chilly.
Considering that the college was some distance away from the palace, her family decided not to transfer her home directly, but instead sent her to the nearby hospital affiliated with the medical college.
When they heard that her water broke during the final exam, her teachers and familiar classmates came to the hospital to visit her. There were always people coming and going in front of her bed, which aroused the curiosity of the pregnant woman and her family in the next bed, who thought that some important person was born.
Ying Mingcheng frowned when he saw that Mu Huaixi was very sleepy but still had to force herself to deal with the guests who came to visit the mother and daughter.
After a while, he came back from outside the ward with a doctor and a stretcher, and transferred her and Curly to the cadre ward upstairs.
Mu Huaixi thought he was exaggerating a bit, but Ying Mingcheng said, "It's not for you, I just don't want everyone to disturb the pregnant woman next to us."
Of course she knew that Ying Mingcheng was saying one thing and thinking another, but when she thought about it carefully, there was a pregnant woman about to give birth in the ward, who should have been nervous and anxious. The coming and going of people on her side did have a great impact.
Grandpa Ying also agreed to change the ward, and grandma tucked in the sheets for her, fed her a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and let her have a good rest to accumulate strength.
Mu Huaixi rested in the hospital for three days before returning home.
The sun was shining brightly along the way. She sat between Little Gray and Little Curly, feeling drowsy.
When she got home, Mu Huaixi received a surprise. When the neighbors heard that she had given birth, they sent her many gifts.
"This is the deer antlers sent by Grandma Wang Hua, the free-range chickens sent by Aunt Li, the eggs sent by Sister Niu from Qianmi Street, and the little bellyband given by Sister Hu from Houmen Street..."
Aunt Da Chu smiled and counted the gifts from everyone for her. She had no contact with her relatives and friends in her hometown, but because Xiao Mu was practicing medicine and chatting at the door, they became familiar with many neighbors.
Mu Huaixi has taken the pulse and prescribed medicine for many neighbors. She is quick and accurate in diagnosis, and most of the medicines she prescribes are made of affordable herbs. They work after just three or five prescriptions, and many people remember her kindness.
This family had a few eggs, that family had a piece of meat, and the old lady had carefully prepared tiger-head shoes early on, and everyone in the family loved them.
"Have we all returned the gifts?" Mu Huaixi felt warm in her heart.
Grandma Ying came over with a large stack of diapers and smiled when she heard this, "Don't worry, everything is ready at home."
When the Ying family had a daughter, they set up a three-day buffet at their doorstep, which was even more grand than when little Huihui was born.
This was Grandpa Ying's idea, actually to celebrate the safe return of his grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law from the battlefield, but unexpectedly it caused great distress to the relatives here.
Mu Huaixi should ask this relative to call her "Doctor Aunt". She is the daughter of Grandpa Ying's brother. They had frequent contacts in their early years. Later, the whole family moved to Shanghai because of their children's work and marriage, and only recently returned to Shengjing to retire.
Grandma Ying said that she used to be a straightforward lady from Northeast China, but somehow she had changed after not seeing her for so many years.
Mu Huaixi wasn't familiar with her, but caught her holding Little Huihui and started to tease her, "Wu Hui, there wasn't such a big scene when you were one month old. Your grandparents, dad, and mom don't love you anymore. They like your sister more!"
Mu Huaixi got angry the moment she heard this. She hated people who tried to sow discord between the two children. But before she could start scolding, the old lady Wang Hua sitting next to her frowned and scolded, "How can you be so shameless? You are so old and yet you are still so stupid. It's really disgusting!"
The old aunt must have not been greeted in her hometown dialect for a long time. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Just as she was about to pinch his waist, Mu Huaixi snatched Little Huihui back and immediately started to make trouble for her, "Niece-in-law, what are you doing? You won't even let me be intimate with my little grandson!"
Mu Huaixi didn't indulge her either. She handed Xiao Huihui over to Aunt Xiao Luo directly, and waited until they were far away before speaking, "Aunt Qingyun, grandma said you were a famous aunt in Shengjing when you were young. How come after being away for a few years, you keep talking about your descendants?"
"Isn't that what I said? The child is young and can't understand," Aunt Qingyun laughed awkwardly. She didn't expect that she was caught red-handed.
Mu Huaixi rolled her eyes. "Children are ignorant, but adults are also ignorant? Talking nonsense to children, is this how you act as an aunt?!"
Aunt Qingyun was furious and said, "How dare you talk to your elders like that!"
"Who's the elder?" Grandma Wang Hua, who was sitting at the same table, slammed the table. "Didn't you hear me scold you just now? Look at you, you're only growing older but not smarter. Chattering your teeth with kids who've only just grown teeth, aren't you ashamed?"
Old Aunt Qingyun is her elder, but the grandmother and aunt at the table are also older than her. She is disrespectful to the elderly, and Mu Huaixi cannot control her, so there must be someone who can control her.
Grandma Ying rushed over and dragged Qingyun to the backyard. No one knew what she said, but she never showed up at the subsequent buffet.
Later, Mu Huaixi found out that her grandmother had thrown away all the gifts her family had sent, and her plan to ask her grandparents to help find a job for her daughter-in-law was also dashed.
She really didn't understand how someone could ask someone else to do something for them and then have the nerve to cause trouble for them.
