Zhou Qinglan held the baby while Sheng Xiping breastfed, which was actually inconvenient as Zhou Qinglan had to twist her body.
Later, Zhou Qinglan simply took the spoon and fed the baby herself.
"Um, should we call Songjianghe to tell Mom and Dad the good news? Or should you go down there yourself?"
Zhou Qinglan asked while feeding the child.
"I'd better go and deliver the good news in person; calling would seem too disrespectful."
It's convenient to have a car now; I can just block a truck carrying raw materials and go there.
"You should feed the baby first. Mom asked me to massage your tummy and breasts."
Sheng Xiping kept in mind the task his mother had assigned him: to do the work first, and then go to Songjiang River later.
"Oh, Mom taught me how to massage it last night. I massaged it for a while and my wrists started to ache."
Having already given birth, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Zhou Qinglan is quite frank; everything she does is for her physical recovery and for her child.
Two small spoonfuls of formula were quickly given to the baby. After finishing the milk, the baby burped contentedly, then stopped crying and fussing, closed his eyes and hummed softly before falling asleep.
Zhou Qinglan placed the child beside her, then lay down, and Sheng Xiping massaged her stomach to help her uterus contract quickly.
After a while, Zhang Shuzhen finished packing her things in the outer room and beckoned Sheng Xiping to come out.
"Here are twenty red eggs. Take them quickly and go to the dispatch office at the farm headquarters to find a convenient ride to Songjiang River."
Your in-laws don't know Qinglan gave birth yet; hurry and tell them the good news.
This is because none of the Sheng family's relatives or ancestral graves are in the local area. If they were all in the local area, Sheng Xiping would not only have to go to each of his relatives to share the good news, but he would also have to go to the Sheng family's ancestral graves.
Red eggs are placed on the grave, and in some places, firecrackers are also set off.
When a new member is born into the family, it is a joyous occasion, and all the ancestors must be notified.
Sheng Xiping carried his things, went to the east room to get dressed, and then went straight to the dispatch room of the farm headquarters.
At this time, the mountain was operating like a continuous flow, with several trucks a day transporting logs to the Songjianghe Timber Yard.
The dispatch center quickly contacted an internal combustion engine to haul the raw materials. When the driver arrived at the forest farm, he stopped briefly, picked up Sheng Xiping, and they went together to deliver the materials to Songjianghe.
Upon arriving at the Songjianghe Timber Yard, Sheng Xiping got off the bus and then walked to the bureau's headquarters building.
Zhou Mingyuan had long been transferred from the machine repair factory to the bureau, where he served as the director of the Planning and Design Department and deputy director. Sheng Xiping went directly to his father-in-law's office and found Zhou Mingyuan.
"Hey, Xiping, what brings you here?" Zhou Mingyuan was in his office looking at design drawings when he looked up and saw his son-in-law arrive, and he was taken aback.
"Dad, Qinglan gave birth to a boy yesterday, weighing six pounds and six ounces. Mother and child are both safe and sound. I've come to share the good news," Sheng Xiping said with a smile, taking off his hat.
"She's given birth? Oh my god, weren't they saying it would be several more days? How come it's come early?"
Your mom was telling me the other day that she was planning to take leave early to go to the forest farm. I never expected this child to be so impatient; he was born before we even got there.
When Zhou Mingyuan heard that his daughter was pregnant, he was both surprised and delighted.
What was alarming was that my daughter gave birth prematurely; conditions at the forest farm were poor, and I was worried about her safety. What brought me joy was that my son-in-law said both mother and child were safe, and it was a healthy baby boy weighing 6.6 pounds.
"Honey, Xiping is here. He said our daughter gave birth yesterday to a big, healthy grandson."
Zhou Mingyuan was so happy that he quickly picked up the phone and called Wang Chunxiu, and started shouting on the phone.
