Li Jiakang and his wife took out some brown sugar from their home and rewrapped it, then took a dozen eggs and put them in the basket.
After Li Xu and the others finished their meal, they discussed that Hu Guilan and Li Ping would stay at home to look after the children tonight, and they would go to Li Qiang's place tomorrow.
Li Xu also went back to the room and took out a can of milk powder that had been prepared long ago, put it in the basket, and then covered the contents of the basket with a piece of rag to prevent others from seeing it on the road.
When they arrived at Li Qiang's house, they were surprised to find that Sun Yizhu and Sun Erzhu were also there.
After asking the reason, I learned that they had become close since they had a drink and dinner together at Li Xu's house on Laba Festival last year, and they often visited each other. Li Qiang also specifically notified them this time, so they rushed over after hearing the news.
Besides, the two of them and Li Qiang can be considered relatives, so Sun Xiu and others are naturally happy to see them get along well.
After a few words, Sun Xiu and the other two went into the house to see Qin Hua and the child. At this time, only Duan Xiaoyun was in the room.
After seeing the three people, the two of them hurriedly greeted them.
Li Jiakang was stunned. "Aren't the second brother and the old man here?"
I didn't see them outside the house just now, and I thought they were watching the child inside the house, but I didn't expect they were not inside the house either.
Duan Xiaoyun responded, "They haven't arrived yet. Xiaoqiang went back to inform them this afternoon. They're probably busy harvesting in the fields right now. They should come after work. Besides, as you know, Big Brother, the old man might have to go find someone to pick a name first."
It was fine up to the beginning, but when it came to choosing a name, Li Jiakang's face suddenly turned dark.
Sun Xiu quickly took the basket from Li Xu's hand, then took out the things inside one by one and placed them on the cabinet beside her. As she took them out, she was still saying, "Sister-in-law, this is brown sugar and eggs. This is milk powder. Xiaoxu asked someone to make it for her. Xiaohua has a weak body. If you don't have milk, use this to make something for the child."
Duan Xiaoyun had heard of milk powder, but this was the first time he had seen it in person. Qin Hua had drunk it a few times at Li Xu's house before, and later heard about how precious it was.
So when the two of them saw the full can of milk powder, they kept expressing their gratitude to Li Xu.
Li Xu also kept responding.
Then the three of them looked at the sleeping child beside them.
Only then did Li Xu see the appearance of Qin Hua's child. The child's face was wrinkled and it was hard to tell who he looked like. However, he looked a little thinner and probably not as heavy as Xiao Wenbo when he was born.
Everyone chatted for a long time, but Mr. Li and the others didn't come over.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Jiakang and the other two went back directly.
After arriving home, Hu Guilan quickly asked, "Mom, how is Xiaohua doing after giving birth?"
"That's good. Your second aunt plans to use the eggs we sent to Xiaohua to nourish her body, so she won't make them into red eggs."
Although Duan Xiaoyun was happy to have a grandson, the family only had the few eggs given by Sun Xiugang. He was reluctant to make them into red eggs to give to others, so he decided to leave them all for Qin Hua to use for nourishment.
Sun Xiu and others naturally had no objections and they also strongly agreed with this decision.
"It's better not to do it. Even if I don't give people red eggs at this time, no one can find fault." Li Ping nodded in agreement and then asked, "What name did Grandpa choose for the child this time?"
"When we left, your grandfather and second uncle hadn't arrived yet. We didn't know when they would arrive, so we came back first. I guess you should know when you two go to see the children tomorrow."
Hu Guilan excitedly asked about the child's condition again, "What about the child? How does he look? How much does he weigh?"
This time it was Li Xu's turn to explain, "I can't tell who he looks like now, and his weight isn't as high as when Wen Bo was first born, but it's still within the normal range."
"That's good. This has fulfilled Xiaohua's wish."
Everyone in the room laughed at this.
They knew that although Qin Hua did not favor boys over girls, she still hoped most in her heart to give birth to a son this time, and now her wish had come true.
The next night, after Li Ping and Hu Guilan came back from Qin Hua, they told everyone that the child's name was Li Zeming.
After thinking about it, everyone agreed that the name was very good and had a very cultural feel.
Then the two talked about how Mr. Li and Li Jiafu arrived at Li Qiang's house at around 10 o'clock last night. They rested there all night and got up and walked back before dawn in the morning.
Hearing this, Li Jiakang's face turned unhappy. "Old man, what a jerk! He didn't even bother to call me. I could have ridden my bike to take them there so quickly."
In fact, they all knew that Mr. Li didn't want to trouble them and felt that it was no problem for him to walk a little longer.
But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Li Jiakang felt.
Although the two of them had different tempers and could sometimes cheer up with just a few words, he was still very filial to Mr. Li.
Seeing this, Li Xu and others hurried forward to persuade them.
It took a long time for Li Jiakang to return to normal. He hugged Li Wenbai and started teasing him happily again.
"Grandson, come here and call me grandpa."
"Yeah."
"Follow me and call, Grandpa~."
"Eeyee."
During this period, Li Jiakang and his colleagues would teach Li Wenbai how to pronounce and speak after get off work every day. Every time this happened, little Wenbai would raise his cute little face and stare at people, making "babbling" sounds from his mouth from time to time.
Although he still hasn't been able to pronounce the syllables so far, everyone still happily continues to teach him.
After a few days, Li Chen's vacation also ended.
He and Du Sen have deepened their relationship these days, and they are both having a lot of fun.
Even so, no one in the Li family said anything. After all, they were at the age when people disliked them, so it was normal.
But you should have fun when it’s time to play, and study hard when it’s time to go to school.
This morning, when Li Chen was about to go to school, he had regained his usual listless look. Li Jiakang was so angry that he couldn't help but slap him hard a few times, cursing, "You little bastard, you've had your fun, and now you're like this when it's time to go to school. Do you even want to study?"
Li Chen covered his butt and retorted, "Dad, I'm doing this just to fit in with my classmates. They all act like this at school now, so I have to act like this too."
Li Jiakang also sneered, "Your classmates just walk like that, but their eyes are very bright."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Li Jiakang went up to him and hit him a few more times, almost making him cry. Then he gave him a stern warning before letting it go.
