Since they were all family members, there was no banquet today. After the meal, everyone sat and chatted for a while and then went their separate ways.
But some of the children still refused to leave.
It's a new yard, so people are always curious. Therefore, Du Jingyi and Aunt Xing stayed behind. As for the other younger children, they were taken back to take a nap.
Du Jingxiang's belly was as big as a basket now. She had been staying with them for half a day and felt a little weak. So she just sat for a while and went back to rest with her husband He Shilin.
The He family's housekeeper had something to discuss with the He family's two elders, so only Du Jingyi, Aunt Xing and the Du couple were left in the front hall talking.
Aunt Xing was not the type to be polite with others, so she spoke directly.
"Before coming to Sui'an City this time, I went to the Su family on purpose, but I still couldn't find out where Doctor Xia's family was. I heard that she was alone when the Su family brought her back. But when getting married, we can't let outsiders talk about her background. It's not good for her anyway. So I was thinking, can we let her recognize you two as her godfathers and godmothers, and let the Du family arrange the wedding? As for the dowry, I will prepare it and will never embarrass you."
She spoke sincerely, and Du Jingyi said with surprise in his eyes.
"That's a good idea. Xia Meng and I have been like sisters for the past few years, and she gets along well with everyone in my family. It would be a good idea for her to marry out of our family."
After hearing this, the Du couple naturally had no objection, but Mrs. Du was a little worried, so she asked in advance.
"That's good. Dowry is not a problem. We can prepare it. But we are merchants after all. If Doctor Xia really leaves our family, people will probably associate her origin with our merchant family. Is this...appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? Didn't Shao Yu marry the daughter of your Du family? He married her, so how could that brat in my family dare to be picky? I'll break his legs!"
After hearing what Aunt Xing said, Mrs. Du didn't think about it any more.
"Then let's wait for Doctor Xia to come back and ask her. If she is willing, my husband and I will naturally be happy to make it happen."
Seeing this, Aunt Xing smiled and said.
"From the first time we met, I felt that we were destined to be together. I didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, our relationship would become even closer."
Aunt Xing's statement actually added another layer to the Du family's status. After all, a goddaughter is still a daughter. It is really a blessing for the Du family to have two sons-in-law with such rich family backgrounds.
Just as they finalized the matter, they saw the two elders of the He family hurriedly running in and saying.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, Jing Xiang must be tired, so she complained of abdominal pain. Where can we find midwives?"
"Ah, is the baby coming soon?"
According to the date, the baby should have been born in mid-August, more than half a month early. This child is really impatient.
Fortunately, Mrs. Du had already prepared these people and they were at the Du family.
It was originally going to be sent over, but today was a warm-house day, so they were not allowed to come along. Now it was needed, so she immediately asked the nanny who was serving her to go back and call for help.
She, Du Jingyi and Aunt Xing hurried to Du Jingxiang's yard to see if there was anything they could do to help!
So, the originally quiet yard suddenly became noisy.
Everyone coming in and out is waiting for the arrival of new life.
Tai Ge'er and his friends were having a great time, but then they heard that their aunt was about to give birth. All the children were curious and of course wanted to go.
But they were too small to go in, so they could only listen to the sounds in the yard.
Yun Ge'er and Yan Jie'er did not look happy. After all, their mother's suppressed wails still reached their ears. This was the mother who gave birth to them and raised them, so naturally they were worried.
Compared to the ignorance of other people, Tai Ge'er was older and naturally knew that his aunt was suffering in order to give birth to his little sister.
So this incident also cast a shadow on his little heart.
He had always thought it would be best to have a biological sister, soft and tender, very cute, but now, he felt that his mother was satisfied with having four brothers, that was enough, no more! At this moment, his heart was as firm as his father who was far away in Wangzhou! After about two hours, the children were a little tired of waiting, and suddenly they heard a cry, and finally everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's born, it's born, there will be another little sister in my aunt's family."
Wen Ge'er was dancing with joy, while the two brothers standing next to him were much quieter and calmer than him.
Inside the room, Du Jingxiang was sweating all over. She had finally brought the child safely into the world, so even though she was weak, she looked at her mother with a loving heart and said.
"Mom, let me see the child."
Mrs. Du helped clean the baby, wrapped him in the swaddle, and then rushed him to Du Jingxiang's arms.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"She is indeed a very clean daughter. I see that she looks exactly like you two sisters when you were little."
When Du Jingxiang and Du Jingyi were just born, they were almost identical, but they became more and more distinguishable as they grew older. Even now, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that they are sisters, but not exactly alike.
And the newly born child looks exactly like the two of them when they were children. I wonder who he will look like when he grows up?
Du Jingyi came closer and said jokingly.
"Like me, I look better."
"You're asking for a beating! My daughter is supposed to be like me!"
Du Jingxiang weakly hit her shoulder, then hugged his daughter and kissed her twice lovingly. The child seemed to feel it too, and cooperated by sticking out her tongue. Her adorable appearance melted the hearts of everyone present.
Aunt He was watching from the side and was also very grateful.
They had only one son, He Shilin, in their life. After marrying Du Jingxiang as their daughter-in-law, they suddenly had three grandchildren. How could she not be happy? Moreover, the child was born on the first day in the new house, so she also thought that this little granddaughter was very auspicious.
"How about the nickname Chu Jie'er? I think it has a good connotation, but I'm just suggesting it. You and your wife should discuss and decide on the specifics."
When Du Jingxiang heard this suggestion from his mother-in-law, his eyes brightened.
Chu Jie'er, so she just continued to use the name He Qianchu, which was also quite appropriate. She nodded immediately and said with a smile.
"Chu Jie'er, thank you grandma for giving me the name!"
