690: Here comes another one called mom
Xu Ying saw the happy look on the young couple's face when they first saw the baby and said:
"Second brother, come and hug your daughter and let her recognize her father."
Yu Erye didn't know how to hold the child. Xu Ying awkwardly lifted the blanket and instructed Yu Erye to hold the child:
"Hold the neck and head, and let the child lie in your arms. Yes, that's it."
Yu Erye held the child in his arms stiffly. The small, fleshy thing lay in his arms, feeling heavy and secure.
Yu Erye stared at the baby in disbelief for a long time. When he saw the baby's eyes slowly open, Yu Erye said excitedly:
"She opened her eyes, she opened her eyes!"
Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye both came over to take a look. The little guy was probably too fat, so his eyes were barely open a crack, and they closed again in less than two seconds. But after all, his eyes were open, which was surprising. They didn't expect that a child could open his eyes as soon as he was born.
Yu Xiaoye asked anxiously:
"Mom, can I hug you? I want a hug too."
"Hold me, hold me, I'll let you have your fun."
Xu Ying took the child from Yu Erye's arms and put it in Yu Xiaoye's arms.
It was Yu Xiaoye's first time holding a newborn baby, and she was very nervous and careful. She bent her arms like her second brother, and her little niece's blanket fell into her arms.
This little guy is really heavy.
Generally, newborn babies are a little wrinkled and ugly, but this girl's face skin is puffed up with almost no wrinkles. Her whole face is round and chubby, and she looks cute and adorable, really like her father.
"Second brother, he looks just like you."
Yu Erye smiled innocently and said:
"Xiao Ye, you should marry the manager and have a baby soon. You can raise two children together and have a playmate."
Yu Erye had just finished saying this when he belatedly noticed two sharp eyes flying towards him. He looked up and saw Xu Ying staring at him.
Yu Erye felt a pang of tension, not knowing what he had said wrong - since Xiaoye was married to the director, didn't she have to have children?
Don’t you want to give birth?
Xu Ying had been immersed in the joy of the birth of her big, fat granddaughter, but suddenly her face became long and she ordered:
"Okay, second brother, go and boil five, six, seven, or eight eggs. When they're done, come to my room and scoop some brown sugar. Make some brown sugar and egg water for Cuihua to drink. Cuihua's been tired all day and must be hungry. By the way, bring some firewood to heat up the room and get rid of the dampness."
Xu Ying ordered a lot of work, Yu Erye did not dare to delay and quickly agreed:
"Oh—I'll go right away."
Yu Erye turned around and went out to work.
Xu Ying realized that it was getting dark outside, so she turned on the light and asked Yu Xiaoye to put the child down, leaving Cuihua alone in the room to rest.
With a newborn baby in the family, life suddenly became busy and the original rhythm of life was completely disrupted. Xu Ying had to rearrange the diet and daily life of the whole family.
When I walked outside, I saw Yu Jiahui still standing at the door. I realized that Yu Jiahui was covered in mud. Yu Jiahui said with a smile:
"Why don't you take the child to the outer room so I can take a look at him?"
"Hold me later. It's getting dark. Let's eat first."
The family was so busy having a baby that they had no time to cook.
But when he looked up at the kitchen, he saw white smoke floating from the chimney. When he went to the kitchen door, he saw Zhou Ziheng wearing an apron and standing by the stove cooking.
Zhou Ziheng saw Xu Ying appear and called out:
"Mom—I've prepared the meal."
Xu Ying: “——” Well, here comes another person calling me mom.
Xu Ying originally had a lot of complaints about Zhou Ziheng, and she had a lot of things to say to him when she met him, but at this moment her mind was full of plans for after her fat granddaughter was born, and she didn't have time to care about so many things.
Moreover, seeing that Zhou Ziheng was thinking about making a good meal when the whole family was too busy to cook, the anger in my heart was mostly gone.
Xu Ying agreed without hesitation and went in to help serve the rice.
Zhou Ziheng not only cooked the meal, but also boiled the eggs in advance.
Xu Ying directly peeled four boiled eggs and put them into a large bowl, poured hot water, and then went to the main room to scoop two spoonfuls of brown sugar and put it in. After stirring, she brought it to Cuihua's room and asked Yu Erye to feed it to Cuihua.
Here, Yu Xiaoye had already helped Zhou Ziheng serve the rice.
Yu Jiahui also went back to the house and changed into clean clothes.
A family of four (Yu Jiahui, Xu Ying, Yu Xiaoye, and Zhou Ziheng) sat around the kang in the main room.
The joy brought by the birth of their granddaughter diluted the old couple's resentment towards Zhou Ziheng. The expression on Yu Jiahui's face was not so tense. After calming down and thinking about it, he had no choice but to accept this fact.
Yu Xiaoye told his parents why he had held the wedding banquet in such a hurry and mentioned what happened to You Wenyue. The old couple then began to understand a little.
Yu Xiaoye took out the 1,000 yuan betrothal gift from Zhou Ziheng's mother and gave it to his parents:
"This is a betrothal gift for you."
Yu Jiahui glanced at the thick stack of bills. He didn't expect the Zhou family to be so generous and actually give a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift.
But they won't take the money:
"You can keep this money yourself. We are not so poor that we have to spend your betrothal money."
Zhou Ziheng said:
"Dad, Mom, please keep it. This is also a little gift from my parents."
Yu Xiaoye also said:
"Yeah, don't worry about me having no money. Brother Heng's mother gave me another thousand, and I also received two thousand yuan in gifts from the banquet. I'm not short of money."
The old couple Zhou Ziheng and Xu Ying looked at each other silently, and they suspected that their daughter was bragging.
What kind of banquet can charge so much money?
Did you invite everyone on the street?
But no matter how much money they were offered, the old couple refused to accept the 1,000 yuan betrothal gift.
Although their family is not rich, the salary of the father and son can cover the daily expenses of the family, plus the subsidy from Yu Xiaoye's usual space income, and Xu
Ying raises chickens and grows vegetables to provide the family with meat, eggs and vegetables. The family lives an upper-middle-class life and has some surplus every month.
They never thought of taking the bride price from their daughter.
"Xiao Ye, keep this money for yourself. You will have plenty of other uses for it in the future."
Seeing that her parents were unwilling to accept it, Yu Xiaoye didn't hesitate:
"If you don't want it, then I'll just keep it in my own pocket."
"Take it, take it."
Yu Xiaoye smiled secretly and stuffed the money back into his bag, thinking that he would take it out when his family needed money in the future.
"Okay, let's eat. Don't worry about the second child for now. He just became a father and the novelty hasn't worn off yet. He'll come over when he's done with his work."
The family of four started to eat.
When the meal was almost over, Zhou Ziheng looked at Yu Xiaoye, meaning that he wanted Yu Xiaoye to ask his parents to move to Mishan County.
Yu Xiaoye put down his chopsticks and said:
"Dad, Mom, can you bring my second brother and his family to live with us at the headquarters?"
"Hmm?" The old couple raised their eyelids at the same time, and Yu Jiahui asked, "Moving to the headquarters?"
"Well, we'll move to the main farm, and the director will live with us then."
