Sun Yu's sister-in-law's room was on the second floor of the military hospital. When Yu Yao and the others arrived, Aunt Ge was changing the baby's diaper. When she saw them coming to visit, she happily invited them in.
Sun Yu's sister-in-law lay on the bed and instructed Political Commissar Qin, "Old Qin, get stools for Yu Yao and the others."
Yu Yao and Su Meihua handed over what they were holding. "Inside, besides malted milk powder and other nourishing foods, there are also some milk powder coupons."
"You're a real lifesaver! Old Qin and I were just worried about not having enough milk powder coupons and were trying to find someone to exchange them for." Sister-in-law Sun Yu handed them some fruit from the table. "Mom, get them some oranges. Old Qin got these oranges from the production team down there. They're from old trees, and they're sweet and sour."
Yu Yao peeled it open and tasted it; it was sweet and sour, and tasted great.
Lei Xiaojun, unusually uninterested in food, stared wide-eyed at the child next to Sun Yu, saying, "Mommy, Aunt Sun's little brother looks so small. He looks like a little monkey, all wrinkled."
Su Meihua broke off a segment of orange and stuffed it into Lei Xiaojun's mouth. "Babies are all born very small. When you were born, you were even smaller than your brother. You were pitifully only five pounds."
Su Meisheng gave birth to Lei Xiaojun under difficult conditions. He was not getting enough nutrition and was born prematurely, so he was very small when he was born.
"You two talk." Lu Ze glanced at the child, then left with Qin Ye, leaving the ward to the women.
Yu Yao hadn't seen the newborn baby yet. The baby looked so tiny. She compared the baby's arm to hers, and it wasn't even as long as her arm.
Sun Yu noticed the curiosity in her eyes and smiled, "Yu Yao, do you want a hug?"
Yu Yao shook her head vigorously, "He looks so small and fragile, I've never held such a small baby before..."
"What's the big deal? There's always a first time. You'll know how to hold the baby after you have one, and I'll teach you."
As Ge Jinhua spoke, she carefully picked up the child, "Like this, with your arms slightly bent, bring your head and neck close to your elbows, use your front arm to protect the child's back, and use your other hand to support his little bottom like this."
Yu Yao gestured with her hands empty, "Aunt Ge, is it like this?"
“Yes, that’s right, you learn things so quickly. Come here, let me hold you.” Aunt Ge slowly handed the child to her, teaching her as she did so.
Yu Yao nervously took the child, looking at the child in her hands with curiosity, the weight of the child in her hands seemed unreal.
Aunt Ge smiled and asked her, "Isn't it simple?"
Yu Yao nodded. "It's a very novel feeling."
I don't dislike it.
Seeing that she was holding the baby the whole time, Aunt Ge taught her to move around a bit, saying that the baby would like it more.
Yu Yao held the child for a while, then her arms went limp, and she handed the child back to Aunt Ge. "Sister-in-law Sun Yu, he looks so cute, what's his name?"
Sun Yu looked at her son beside her. "His nickname is Lele. Old Qin has thought of several names for his formal name, but he hasn't decided yet. Since you're here, Yu Yao and Mei Hua, please help me see which name is better."
Aunt Ge took the notebook from the cabinet and showed it to Yu Yao and Sun Yu. "I've come up with five in total. Can you help us decide which one is more suitable?"
Yu Yao took the notebook and looked at it.
Five names were listed above, all with auspicious meanings. Precisely because they all have such good meanings, choosing one is actually quite difficult.
Sun Yu said, "Old Qin said Qin Jianjun is good, but Mom and I both think it's too common. In the military compound, there are at least seven or eight Jianjuns among the kids and soldiers. Mom and I chose three, which of these three do you think is better?"
Su Meihua is terrible at naming things; it's harder for her to choose a name than to cook one. "Let Yu Yao do it; I think they're all good."
Yu Yao carefully examined the three names chosen by Sister-in-law Sun Yu. "I think the name Qin Yuxuan is quite good. This child has a full forehead, which shows that he has inherited the advantages of you and Political Commissar Qin. He will definitely grow up to be a dignified young man. Yu means vast and broad, implying lofty aspirations and symbolizing that the child has a broad future and a broad mind."
"Qin Yuxuan," Sun Yu murmured the name, "imposing and dignified, with a bright future and broad vision. It sounds really good. Mom, what do you think?"
Ge Jinhua put the peeled apple on a plate, saying, "I also think it's pretty good; it sounds nice and is easy to remember."
Later, Political Commissar Qin came in, and Sun Yu also asked him about it. Qin Yeye thought it was good.
Sun Yu made the final decision, "Then let's call you Qin Yuxuan. Lele, your formal name from now on will be Qin Yuxuan."
Yu Yao greeted the little baby with a smile, "Yu Xuan, I'm Aunt Yu Yao."
The baby can't speak yet, but her babbling sounds seem to be responding to her.
Seeing how much she liked children, Sun Yu smiled and said, "Yu Yao, you and Commander Lu are both so good-looking, your children will definitely be good-looking too."
"Thank you for your kind words, sister-in-law, but Lu Ze and I are still young, so we'll talk about having children later." Yu Yao glanced at Lu Ze beside her. It would be nice to have a boy like him or a girl like herself.
However, Lu Ze seemed to have misunderstood, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes, after all, when he asked her last time, she said she didn't like children.
But just now, the way she held the child was so gentle and serene; it didn't seem like she disliked him at all.
Maybe she just doesn't want his child.
Lu Ze's heart might tremble slightly because of this.
Sun Yu just gave birth and needs to rest.
Yu Yao and the others stayed in the ward for more than ten minutes before saying goodbye and leaving.
Political Commissar Qin knew they were going to see Song Yufeng, so he saw them off.
We arrived at Song Yufeng's hospital room.
"Sister-in-law Yu Feng, we've come to see you." Yu Yao smiled as she pushed open the door to the ward and placed the gift for Song Yu Feng on the cabinet.
