Yu You was calmly waiting for the birth, when Cao Xiu suddenly patted her and whispered in her ear.
"You kid, who would give birth to a child with such an expression? Act like you're in pain."
Yu You… "That's right! So what should we do?"
"Look around you!"
They were in the delivery room, and Qin Zhiheng couldn't get in, so he could only worry outside.
Besides her, there were two pregnant women who were about to give birth. What was the current status of those two people?
One had an expression of unspeakable pain on her face, crying and yelling in pain. The other gritted her teeth and endured the pain when it was severe, and stayed quiet when it wasn't.
Both of them were pale with pain and were not in a very good condition.
Yu You felt that he was indeed a little different, and quickly followed suit and started shouting "ouch ouch".
That night, a loud cry was heard. The little life that everyone had been waiting for for so long finally arrived.
She is a fair and tender little girl.
When Wang Yuerong and the others rushed over after receiving the news, they also brought the things they had prepared at home.
In addition to Yu You's spare clothes and specially prepared food, there are also small clothes, a small mattress, milk powder, bottles, diapers, and so on.
Yu You was in good spirits. When she looked at the little person beside her, she felt touched.
The little girl's face was soft and rosy, her eyes were bright, and her pupils were large. Her small fingers tightly grasped Yu You's finger, as if seeking a sense of security.
The little mouth moved around as if looking for food.
This tiny existence fills me with joy for no reason.
Yu You gently stroked her forehead, giving the little girl a little comfort.
Wang Yuerong complained to You, "You didn't even call me for something as dangerous as giving birth, and you only told me after the birth. What can you do?"
Yu You said: "This is not Zhidong and his family's wedding is not over yet, there are still so many guests who haven't left."
In fact, the main reason was that she had things like vaginal medication she got from the space, so she felt at ease.
Wang Yuerong: "You're wrong to think that way. Giving birth is a very important matter. Fortunately, yours went smoothly."
After saying that, he looked at the child gently.
"Oh my, our little girl is so cute. Have you picked a name for her?"
Qin Zhiheng then said, "Youyou and I have discussed this. When An'an and Ningning were born, our family's greatest wish was for them to be healthy and peaceful. That's why we named them Qin Jing'an and Qin Jingning."
"Now that the third child has been born, things are going well for the family and we've finally seen the dawn of hope. So, how about calling him Qin Jingxi?"
"'Xi' means rising sun, representing warmth, brightness and hope. I hope this child's future will be filled with hope and sunshine."
Wang Yuerong nodded and said, "Xixi, it's really good."
"Xixi baby, come here, let grandma hold you."
Yu You stayed in a courtyard house for her confinement after giving birth. On the day she was discharged from the hospital and returned home, she saw that Qin Zhiheng had made the whole yard red, and she couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart.
Qin Zhiheng said in frustration, "I wanted to give you a surprise, but who knew Xixi would be so anxious that she had to come out on the day of my parents' wedding ceremony."
Yu You said: "I feel great. I am in such a festive house to recuperate after giving birth. My mood has improved a lot."
With a new baby in the family, Wang Yuerong knew that Yu You was a career-oriented person and did not want him to be trapped at home by the child.
This world belongs to everyone, but especially to the young.
It was thanks to Yu You that her family was sent down to the countryside during those years. Now that their lives are better, it’s time for her to do something for her daughter-in-law.
She is planning to retire at a time when the country is short of talent, and her university is even more short of teaching staff.
The principal said, "Professor Wang, as you know, there's a shortage of university faculty right now. Your departure would be a huge loss to the school and its students. Could you reconsider?"
The principal's words were sincere, and Wang Yuerong was unable to refuse outright for the time being. After returning home, she told her family about this matter.
I don’t have much vacation time, so it’s best to decide on taking care of the child as soon as possible.
Zhang Shuying knew that Wang Yuerong wanted to teach, so she suggested, "Why don't we find someone to take care of the child? I'll stay at home every day to ensure the child doesn't suffer any harm."
Although she is old, she is still useful.
Wang Yuerong shook her head. Since she had decided to help Yu You, she would not waver easily.
"I have to retire sooner or later. Not only you, but also Zhidong and his wife, what if they have another child? I have to lend a hand to you. Retiring a year later or a year earlier won't make much difference."
She knew in her heart that her sons and daughters-in-law would definitely want her to take care of the child.
Yu You thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I'm really grateful that you're determined to help me take care of the child."
"But I've always believed that women shouldn't be bound by family. If you have dreams and a career, you should pursue them."
"I have an idea. Do you think it's feasible?"
Wang Yuerong looked at her daughter-in-law in confusion.
Yu You continued, "You can apply for retirement and then be rehired as a visiting professor at the school."
“I go to school to teach one day a week, and the rest of the time I stay at home.”
"You are a professor with extensive experience in the field of literature. The school will definitely be happy to invite you."
"In addition to teaching courses, we can also negotiate and participate in school evaluations and conduct academic exchanges."
"But this way, it's not full-time, it's part-time, so my income will go down."
The more Wang Yuerong listened, the brighter her eyes became.
She doesn't go out to work just to make money. If she only goes out one day a week, it would be great if she could balance her family and career.
I couldn't help but reply: "I don't mind the low income, I can always go to school and make the most of my own value."
"I'll go to the school tomorrow to ask if this method will work."
This way, she won't be completely disconnected from society, and her daughter-in-law can also pursue her career on weekdays except Mondays.
Wang Yuerong's mood obviously brightened, and both of them were very satisfied.
People of this era usually have four or five boiled eggs per meal during confinement, plus chicken soup or millet porridge.
Maybe people of this era are generally malnourished, so eating more than a dozen eggs a day doesn't actually do anything for the body.
But Yu You is not like that. She has never treated herself badly in her daily life, and she doesn’t plan to eat like this during her confinement period.
Cao Xiu created a one-month diet plan for Yu You, using everything you could buy in that era. She detailed what to eat each day and how much to eat.
Yu You's plan of eating noodles one meal and buns the next made Zhang Shuying, Wang Yuerong and others feel uneasy.
Wang Yuerong asked Cao Xiu, "My dear, is it really okay to eat like this?"
What could be wrong? Her daughter even took Xixi to the space to take a bath secretly. As long as the temperature is maintained and they don't get cold, it will be fine.
During the confinement period, others were covered in unkempt hair and dirty faces, but the mother and daughter were clean and refreshed.
