He Xiaotuan paced around outside the delivery room and had no intention of sitting down to rest.
Zhao Meiya hugged He Ruixue and said, "Dongbao, you must be scared. Your face is pale. I'll make you some chicken soup when we get home to calm you down."
When her granddaughter-in-law was giving birth at the critical moment of life and death, she only cared about the little girl's mood. To be honest, no matter in which novel, Zhao Meiya is a typical and excellent setting.
However, the person she was partial to was herself, and He Ruixue really couldn't bring herself to blame her.
Who doesn't want to be unconditionally favored?
Shaking her head, she looked towards the door of the delivery room, "Mom, I'm fine, just a little scared."
"It's right to be afraid, who wouldn't be afraid? Dongbao is most afraid of pain. When he was little, he would cry for a long time if he knocked his teeth. How could he bear it? When I think that the person in there is you, my heart feels like it's being cut by a knife.
Dongbao, if you don’t want to have a child, then we won’t. Your brother has many nephews anyway, so you can adopt one when the time comes.
Your third brother is a loser, he thinks raising a child is too much trouble, he says he's had enough with one and refuses to have another. No, I have to go back and urge him to go, so that I can pick a good one for Dongbao."
Do you think you are buying vegetables at the vegetable market?
He Ruixue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, you can't bear to see me suffer, but my third brother can't bear to see my third sister-in-law suffer either."
Zhao Meiya curled her lips and said, "I don't care whether he is willing to give up or not. Since he was born into our family, he should listen to me." In front of the little girl, all sons and daughters-in-law have to stand aside.
"Mom, there's really no need."
"Okay, whatever you say. Otherwise, Mom will ask someone to adopt one for you..."
He Ruixue interrupted her, "Mom! This is illegal." It would not be unfair if all the human traffickers died.
"What are you thinking? There are so many of them that people can't afford to feed them and just throw them away. The former team leader picked up one on his way back to the village. And there are several dead in the area behind the mountain. They were all eaten by wolves. It's really a sin."
He Ruixue also sighed. Abandoned criminals can be found everywhere, not to mention in the era of food and clothing shortages, even in modern times it is not uncommon.
She was wondering at this moment whether merit could help increase her luck. If so, she could find someone to open an orphanage, at least to give those abandoned children a chance to survive.
"Mom, let's talk about this later. Remember to help me find out where the surrounding villages usually abandon their children."
"OK."
Zhao Meiya thought she had some feelings for him, so she worked even harder.
There were many germs in the hospital, so the two little ones didn't come with us. After listening to their conversation, He Xiaotuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that his unborn child would be given to his aunt by his grandmother, and even his parents were powerless to stop it. His heart was beating in his throat.
After waiting for about two hours, they had a meal in the hospital cafeteria, and Wang Taozhi went back to make pig's trotter soup.
When she came over with the lunch box, she happened to catch Lu Lan giving birth. She immediately smiled and said, "My grandson and I are destined to be together. She gave birth as soon as I arrived."
After a while, the nurse pushed Lu Lan out and everyone gathered around to ask about her condition.
"Both mother and baby are very healthy. It's a boy, weighing 6.82 catties. He was well cared for in the womb and has thick hair."
He Xiaotuan looked at Lu Lan's pale face and said distressedly, "Comrade, when will my wife wake up?"
"She'll wake up naturally once she's rested. Try not to touch the baby without washing your hands. Please move aside."
When Wang Taozhi learned that it was her grandson, she was so happy that she almost smiled. He Chunsheng's smile was also very bright.
He Xiaotuan jumped up and down, "I have a son!"
"Yeah, not bad."
Zhao Meiya glanced at him perfunctorily and moved closer to He Ruixue. "Dongbao, he's not as pretty as you were when you were born. He looks like a little monkey. You were like a snowball when you were born. People say you're a beauty at first sight, and they're right."
The scene suddenly became quiet. Even the nurse cast a puzzled look at her. He Ruixue tugged at her sleeve and said, "Mom, keep your voice down."
"It's just giving birth to a child. Everyone has gone through this. I gave birth to all four of you at home. It was a real risk. How could I have such good conditions now?"
She waved her hand, pointed at the nurse and scolded, "What are you standing there for? It's your first time on duty today. Hurry up and get her into the house. How can someone who just gave birth be exposed to the wind?"
When Lu Lan woke up, there was a small swaddling cloth next to her. She quickly turned her head to look, and when she saw the child inside, tears immediately flowed down her face.
This natural bond between the Creator and the created, the feeling of being connected by blood, is difficult to understand for those who have not experienced it.
He Xiaotuan had been watching the whole time. "Wake up, mom made some pig's trotter soup for you. If you're hungry, get up and have some. It also contains some nourishing herbs."
"Thank Mom for me."
Lu Lan was almost exhausted and was actually a little hungry. She was helped up and drank a few sips. It was a confinement meal, without oil or salt, but for her, anything with meat was delicious.
She looked around the ward, "Where are the others?"
She remembered that before she entered the ward, many people came to her house. Were they deliberately giving her a cold shoulder? No, that wasn't right, because she gave birth to a boy.
He Xiaojie, who was standing by, immediately said, "Mom went back to clean up the diaper, and my aunt went to get some milk powder and bottles. Grandpa and grandma couldn't sit still anymore, so they went back first. Dad just went to pay the bill."
After saying that, she leaned in closer to look at her nephew's face and carefully touched his little fist. "Hey, I'm an aunt too. Welcome, little one. When you grow up a little, I'll take you to buy candy."
Discovering that she had misunderstood her family, Lu Lan felt ashamed and blamed herself. Seeing He Xiaojie's performance, her face was as warm as the spring breeze, with a bit of maternal tolerance.
"Yes, our Xiaojie has become an elder, and I'll have to trouble you to help take care of him in the future."
"Leave it to me. I've been taking care of my aunt since she was a child, so I have experience."
"Did you give it to your aunt to eat or drink? If your grandma hears this, she will scold you again."
He Chunsheng walked in with water stains on his hands. It was obvious that he had followed the nurse's advice and washed his hands before coming in.
He touched the child's face with his fingertips and sighed with emotion, "That's great. He's my first grandson and the first of the next generation of our He family. I asked your grandfather about it. The He family didn't have generations. They used to choose a character and the others would follow suit.
Your name "Xiao" was chosen by your grandfather. Now I will give your descendant the name "Yan", which means broad-mindedness and longevity. As for the last name, it is up to you. "
He Xiaojie exclaimed, "Dad, when did you become so cultured? You only gave us names like unity and friendship."
"Didn't I listen to what the fortune teller said? He said this word is auspicious and will bring prosperity to our family and ensure that our descendants will be safe and prosperous."
"The fortune teller tells everyone that this word has no unique characteristics at all. My aunt said that if it were her, she would be given the "Bi" generation name, and be called "He Bi Hui", "He Bi Xue", "He Bi You"..."
He Chunsheng was speechless. "Alright, she's even less reliable than a fortune teller. If we really pick this name, our family will be laughed to death."
