In mid-December, Beijing welcomed the first snowfall of the year 1984. Coincidentally, Wang Jingyi's stomach started to ache on the night of the first snowfall.
After three days in the hospital, the baby was finally about to come out. Wang Jingyi was not nervous at all when she was being wheeled to the delivery room. She even held her husband's hand and comforted him, "Anchen, don't be too nervous. Didn't the doctor say the baby is in the right position? Don't worry..."
Seeing that they were about to enter the delivery room, and seeing that her husband still looked like he was about to die, Wang Jingyi didn't know where her temper came from. "Chen Anchen, put away that expression and smile for me. What's wrong with you? I'm the one who wants to go in and give birth. If you're really nervous staying at the door, go out and run around the hospital a few times. Seeing you like this is really annoying me."
After being scolded by Wang Jingyi, Shen Anchen stood at the door in a daze. He was originally very worried, but at this moment, his wife's scolding made his mind go blank. He just nodded in a daze, and only reacted when the door of the delivery room was closed.
Shen Anning held his son and looked at his second brother. He poked Peanut's hands, and the little guy opened his hands, "Uncle, hug me."
"Oh, okay, okay baby, uncle will hold you."
Tripped by the little peanut, Shen Anchen's attention was distracted a lot. He walked back and forth in the corridor holding the little guy. Because it was a natural birth, Wang Jingyi stayed in the delivery room for a long time. She entered the delivery room at seven o'clock in the evening, and the little guy came out around ten thirty.
"Congratulations to Wang Jingyi's family! Both mother and child are safe. Come, take a look at the baby first."
Hearing the words "mother and child are safe", Shen Anchen's first reaction was to look at the little peanut in his arms, and then looked at Shen Erbao standing beside him...
Could it be true, as the fortune teller said, that in this generation, only the eldest brother is destined to have a daughter, and no one else? When did fortune tellers become so accurate?
Although he thought so in his heart, Shen Anchen still didn't dare to tell others about his fortune-telling in advance. It was too embarrassing!
"Hahaha, Uncle, look what I said. The baby in Aunt's belly must be a little brother."
"That's right, brother!"
Putting Peanut in Cao Jingheng's arms, Shen Anchen said angrily: "Hold your own son."
"Hey, second brother, why are you so anxious? Little Peanut, don't you think so? Second uncle is anxious. Let's let Second Uncle practice what it feels like to hold a baby in advance. He's still anxious. Can't help but tease, right?"
"Hmm." Although he didn't know what his father meant, little Cao Siheng still responded with a "hmm" twice. There was really nothing he could do because his father now controlled half of his snacks.
Standing next to his grandmother, Chen Ziyi was able to see what the new little brother looked like. He was already a big boy. He had seen how Peanut looked when he was just born, and he had also seen the earth-shaking changes in Peanut after he was born for a month. So he was not surprised to see the little monkey who was somewhat similar to the one in his memory.
"Uncle, remember, we made a bet. You said it was a younger sister, and I said it was a younger brother. I won, so I'll name the younger brother. I've already decided on his name: Little Melon Seed!"
The final word!
When the Shen family members nearby heard the name Xiao Guazi, they all looked at the little peanut in Cao Jingheng's arms. It seemed that the names of the children in the family were going to be a collection of New Year's names, right? If there was another one, would it be called Xiao Guiyuan?
Although he felt aggrieved, Shen Anchen also wanted to save face. He and Shen Erbao made the bet in front of the whole family, and now he couldn't deny it. "Okay, okay, small melon seeds are small melon seeds. As long as it doesn't sound bad, it's fine."
It was too late and it was snowing on the road. My grandparents at home didn't let me come over, so I called back to tell them the good news. When Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen heard that Erbao had been named Xiao Guazi, they couldn't stop laughing. This name was exactly the style of Erbao.
"Okay, Junqi, Mom got it. I stewed some black-bone chicken and asked Xiaoqi to drive it over. Are you hungry? There are some steamed buns in the pot. I'll bring some over for you. Jingyi has worked hard too. Tell her that Grandpa and I will go see her tomorrow morning and let her have a good rest."
When Wang Jingyi was pushed out, she was in good spirits. Although she did not have the incredible luck that Chen An Ning had, the baby in her belly did not cause her much trouble.
"Wife, are you okay? I just saw my son. Thank you for your hard work."
Knowing the bet between Shen Anchen and Erbao, Wang Jingyi's first concern was her son's nickname. When she heard the three words "Little Melon Seed", she felt as if it was as expected.
"Yeah, little melon seed, you can tell right away that he's our child. Erbao, thank you. From now on, my little brother will follow you, his older brother!"
"Don't worry, Second Aunt, I will definitely take good care of Xiao Guazi. Leave it to me, don't worry. I am the most loyal and reliable comrade!"
Shen Zixi beside her was a little disappointed. Alas, her brother's boy band had another member. There were already three boys in the family, but no sister. She was so sad. When her parents finished this project and took a vacation, she would have a good talk with her parents and try to give her another sister.
Chen Anyan and Liu Manxue had no idea what their precious daughter was thinking. They were resting in the staff dormitory of the research institute when they both sneezed at the same time. "Hey, honey, let me tell you, it's snowing today, so we should do some exercises to warm up our body temperature. Hey, your little strength doesn't hurt at all. Be good, Xue'er, try harder later..."
After staying in the hospital for a week, when the snow on the road had almost melted, Shen Anchen took his wife and son home. In their room, Shen's mother had already prepared a new single bed and all the things needed for pregnant women and children.
When Wang Jingyi's mother brought her sister and sister-in-law over, she saw that the shelves in the house were full of things, and her impression of the Shen family became even more favorable.
Looking at the "diaper" her daughter had changed for her nephew, the Queen Mother was a little surprised. "What is this, a diaper? Why does it feel like there's cotton in it?"
Wang Jingyi took a new one and put it in her mother's hand. "This was given to me by my cousin's wife from my uncle's and aunt's family. She said that many children abroad use this now. It's convenient to apply and you don't have to wash so many diapers. But it still makes my bottom a little stuffy, so I use it in conjunction with diapers."
The eldest sister of the Wang family looked at her younger sister, who looked very healthy. Just now in the yard, she saw the chicken and meat hanging on the kitchen porch. She carefully touched her nephew's hand and said, "I see that my younger sister is having a good confinement. I will tell my relatives who like to show off about it during the Chinese New Year. A few days ago, I ran into that cousin on the way home from get off work. She stopped me and told me about my younger sister giving birth... I really don't want to hear it. When I see her again, I will scold her so much that she will be speechless."
Wang Jingyi doesn't care about the gossip of her relatives at home at all. She has been delaying marriage and dating for so many years, and she has heard too much gossip. Those people are just sour grapes because they can't get them!
