Jiang Baige heard Chen Jiaojiao coming upstairs noisily and guessed that she must have come up for something.
Before she even saw anyone, she asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Chen Jiaojiao pushed open the half-closed door and replied, "Sister-in-law, our father just gave Dandan a name."
Jiang Baige asked curiously, "What's the name? Tell me."
Chen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Call me Chen Jin, what do you think?"
Jiang Baige asked, "Chen Jin, that Jin?"
Chen Jiaojiao replied: "Jin, which means a bright future, do you think it sounds good?"
Jiang Baige nodded and said, "Chen Jin, that sounds good. Tell Dad that I have no objection."
After hearing what was said, Chen Jiaojiao immediately went downstairs again.
Seeing that her sister-in-law was like a messenger, Jiang Baige couldn't help but sigh that the family would lose a lot of fun without her.
The name Chen Jin was unanimously agreed upon, and the name was thus decided.
Chen Defu only stayed in the county town for one day because the villagers were busy handing in their wages and grain, and he had to go back to supervise the work. He went back to the village the next day.
Because Jiang Baige is still in confinement after giving birth, Zhou Xiuying has to stay and take care of her for a few more days.
When Grandma Meng saw that Jiang Baige didn't go to her, she thought she was about to give birth. When she came to see her, she found out that she had already given birth.
When Grandma Meng saw little Dandan, she couldn't stop smiling and said that the child was very cute.
She laughed and said, "I am an old woman, but I have never seen such a beautiful baby. It is so chubby and cute."
Her granddaughter also said: "Grandma, I want this little brother."
Grandma Meng smiled and said, "That won't work. He's still young! He needs his mother's care. He wants one! Tell your mother to give birth to you as soon as possible."
Zhou Xiuying was of course very happy to see the old lady praising her grandson.
He smiled and said, "Xiaofang is not young anymore, you should consider the second child!"
Grandma Meng said, "Xiaofang was injured after giving birth, and she is recovering."
In her spare time, Grandma Meng made two sets of clothes for Dandan.
He took out the clothes he had brought and showed them to Zhou Xiuying: "Here are two pieces of clothing made for the child, but I see! They won't be wearable in a few days."
She was thinking of making it for her baby to wear when he was one month old, but when she took it out and looked at it, it seemed to be just the right size to wear.
She didn't expect the child to be bigger than she had imagined for a baby, and she regretted not making the clothes a little bigger.
Zhou Xiuying took the laundry, looked at it over and over again, with a look of delight on her face.
"Auntie Meng, your craftsmanship is truly excellent. You can't even see a single stitch or corner."
Grandma Meng said, "This eye is not very good. If I were young, I would have done better than this."
After watching the child downstairs for a while, Grandma Meng went to talk to Jiang Baige for a while, reminding her some issues that needed to be paid attention to during the confinement period.
Jiang Baige nodded in agreement, saying that she would do as she was told and take good care of herself during the confinement period.
Zhou Xiuying invited Grandma Meng to have dinner at her home. The two chatted for a long time and she also asked her a lot of questions about taking care of the baby during the confinement period.
During the days when Jiang Baige was in confinement, Chen Jianguo's master, friends and colleagues all came to visit the child and gave her gifts they had prepared, such as eggs, cloth, etc.
In this era, eggs and cloth were considered quite respectable and practical gifts when visiting a mother and baby who had just given birth.
Everyone is starving, so giving these to us is a token of our sincere gratitude.
Of course, if conditions permit, we will give them a few dollars and receipts so that they can buy what they need.
The cloth received in Jiang Baige's room could be made into clothes and she could not wear them all for several years.
There was also a large bowl of eggs, which Zhou Xiuying cooked in different ways to nourish Jiang Baige.
Jiang Baige sat in the yard these days and ate all the chickens in the backyard. She ate a few eggs every day. In just twenty days, she gradually became plump.
In order to ensure that her grandson had enough to eat, Zhou Xiuying tried to find a way to get food for her daughter-in-law.
After Jiang Baige gave birth, her body had not yet recovered, so she kept wearing the clothes and pants she wore during pregnancy. When she wanted to change back into her old clothes, they no longer fit her.
For this reason, Chen Jianguo was beaten by Jiang Baige several times when he got off work in the evening.
Jiang Baige cried, "Look! In order for your son to have enough food to eat, mother stewed chicken and eggs for me. What should I do now that I'm so fat?"
Chen Jianguo stared at his wife's gradually round face and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek. He just smiled after being punched a few times. What should he do? He could only pamper his wife.
He said, "You're not fat. I like the way you are now. You're soft and fluffy, and it feels good to touch."
Not only did he say it felt good, he also touched the fleshiest part of her body.
Jiang Baige slapped his hand away and said, "What are you doing? You're not serious at all."
Chen Jianguo hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you eat some meat and drink some soup?"
He couldn't see or eat what he saw, so he couldn't let himself down and often took advantage of his wife.
Seeing his burning eyes, Jiang Baige quickly pushed him away, turned around and went downstairs to see the child.
In order to allow Jiang Baige to have a good confinement period, Xiao Dandan was taken downstairs to be looked after every day. Chen Jiaojiao studied while looking after the child, and only took him upstairs to feed him when he was hungry.
Chen Jianguo watched his wife go downstairs, shook his head, and thought to himself: "My wife smells so good! I didn't expect that after giving birth, the whole person would become soft and plump."
"He's almost dying of greed, but he has to wait a little longer. He's already waited for months, so a few days won't make a difference."
Just when Jiang Baige was about to leave her confinement period, Zhou Xiuying had to return home.
