Chapter 170: Name
Chi Xiaoxiao couldn't help it, and hurriedly urged: "What do you want to say, do you say it quickly?" β
Chu Xingyu smiled, and he also felt that he was a little too verbose. "I have long wanted to tell you, after the Lei family was removed, there are a lot of things that need to be taken care of, and of course, a lot of income also needs to be collected by someone. After discussing with my uncle, I decided to use those as a thank you gift for saving the Chu people. β
Chi Xiaoxiao was shocked and waved her hand again and again: "No, no, no!" I didn't do anything to help in the Siyou Islands, but caused you a lot of trouble, this time Atong's accident was also caused by me, why am I embarrassed to accept your thank you gifts? It feels like you're sarcastically mocking me. β
Chu Xingyu seemed to have anticipated this answer a long time ago, and added: "Okay, let me put it another way, this is hiring you." β
"What?" Chi Xiaoxiao was a little dazed.
"The Lei family was removed, although the Chu clan took back his financial resources, but he has not been able to find a suitable person to take care of it, you know, the remaining manpower of the Lei family is not necessarily loyal to the Chu clan, and there is no guarantee that they will not continue to worry about the old master, so those who take care of these must be able to hold on, and at the same time we can trust."
Chi Xiaoxiao was stunned, and subconsciously spoke: "That can't be me!" β
Chu Xingyu smiled: "Although I am a suitable candidate, most of my forces have been outside over the years, and now I have to run around to take care of them, if I deal with the remnants of the Lei family, I really have some skills." After a pause, Chu Xingyu's eyes became extremely serious and sincere when he looked at Chi Xiaoxiao: "Moreover, we all feel that Xiaoxiao is your own person." β
Chi Xiaoxiao: "......"
With such a big hat buttoned down, she can't even take it if she can't think about it!
"Ah Yu," Chi Xiaoxiao said weakly, "I am very grateful to you and the patriarch for trusting me so much, but I am just a woman, and I have a small child who can't be smaller, so I really can't help you so much." β
Chu Xingyu: "But Xiaoxiao, you don't have a choice." β
Chi Xiaoxiao: "......"
Didn't she have no choice? Since deciding to hide her identity, she didn't dare to touch any money in her account, she didn't have any capital at all, how could she make money to raise a baby? Even if she works, who can help her take care of the baby?
Chu Xingyu's proposal was undoubtedly a great temptation, but Chi Xiaoxiao always felt ashamed of it.
"Xiaoxiao, for the sake of the child, let's think about it." Chu Xingyu mended the knife earnestly.
ββ¦β¦β
Chu Xingyu smiled slightly and said: "Uncle has already drawn up the benefits for you, and I will sort out all the foundation left by the Lei family for you when I go back, and you will know that the Chu clan actually didn't give you too many things." β
Don't have much? When the Lei family was in its heyday, it was one of the several major families in the Siyou Islands, even if they were removed, the foundation left behind was immeasurable, Chu Ao gave it to herself so generously, how could she be embarrassed?
Chu Xingyu said with some solemnity: "The most important thing is the intelligence system mastered by the Lei family, which really does not allow outsiders to interfere, Xiaoxiao, you have experienced so many things in the Chu clan, and you do not hesitate to risk your life for the sake of the uncle, in the uncle's heart, you have long been a family member, so he can rest assured that he will leave it to you." β
Chi Xiaoxiao really couldn't refuse, so she had to wave her hand, pointed to her round belly again, and said angrily: "This ball hasn't landed yet, what are you doing in a hurry?" β
The belly floated accordingly, and the "ball" inside seemed to dislike the name.
Chi Xiaoxiao was amused and laughed "giggled", poked her index finger in her stomach, and the baby squirmed and ran to the other side, and the mother and son played like this.
While playing, Chi Xiaoxiao said happily: "I haven't thought of a name for my daughter yet, Ah Yu, there are so many books of your Chu people, are there any words with good meanings and suitable for girls' names?" β
Chu Xingyu's expression stiffened slightly, and he looked at Chi Xiaoxiao's stomach and hesitated: "Uh......"
After not hearing Chu Xingyu's reply for a long time, Chi Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Chu Xingyu's face tangled.
"What's wrong with you? What's that expression? Chi Xiaoxiao's face was full of puzzlement.
Chu Xingyu smiled, shook his head and said, "It's just that I can't think of it for a while, wait for me to go back and flip through the classics to help you choose." β
Chi Xiaoxiao nodded without doubt, and then said happily: "I want to call her Xiao Nuan." β
Chu Xingyu paused, seemed to be thinking, and came to a conclusion for a while: It's okay for a boy to be called Xiao Nuan, right? It's not bad to grow into a warm man! So he nodded and said, "It's good!" β
The "ball" in her stomach became more restless, but Chi Xiaoxiao mistakenly thought that she liked this nickname, and she was even happier.
Chu Xingyu couldn't help but hold his forehead, and couldn't bear to look at it directly. God knows what Ji Xiaoxiao's reaction would be when she knew that the child in her belly was a boy. I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it at all......
Another week passed, and Chi Xiaoxiao was accompanied by Director Mei for a walk downstairs in the hospital.
The greening here is very good, the climate is also comfortable, Chi Xiaoxiao has to walk almost every day, plus this is helpful for production, Director Mei is up to her.
But after walking for just ten minutes today, Chi Xiaoxiao's face suddenly turned white.
Feeling the hand holding him tightened, Director Mei hurriedly looked over.
"Miss Chi, what's wrong with you?"
"Director Mei, my stomach hurts......" Chi Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, and the dull pain coming from her waist and abdomen was very uncomfortable.
Director Mei smiled: "This is the baby's development is completely coming out." β
Chi Xiaoxiao panicked: "Huh? I'm going to give birth? β
Director Mei couldn't cry or laugh: "It's still early, it's just prenatal pains, and there are still a few days before delivery." β
Chi Xiaoxiao wants to cry without tears, this is just the beginning, what will it hurt when she officially gives birth?
Director Mei still asked people to find a stretcher bed and pushed Chi Xiaoxiao back.
When she entered the ward, Chi Xiaoxiao didn't hurt so much, and the whole pain time was only about a minute.
After various inspections were done and Director Mei's words were confirmed, Chi Xiaoxiao officially entered the production period.
Hearing the news, Chu Xingyu quickly rushed over, and teased Chi Xiaoxiao with a nervous look: "I gave birth to a child, why are you more nervous than me?" β
Chu Xingtong listened, hid behind Director Mei and laughed secretly, and even Director Mei couldn't help but be amused.
This Chu Xingyu's thoughts, I am afraid that everyone will know, but Chi Xiaoxiao still treats him as a brother.
Without waiting for Chu Xingyu to explain anything, Chi Xiaoxiao's face turned white again.
Director Mei ...... "Chi Xiaoxiao is about to cry." Isn't it really going to give birth if it hurts so much? β
Director Mei couldn't stop crying or laughing.
"I've seen someone who is afraid of pain, and I've never seen you so afraid." Director Mei counted down angrily: "I'm going to be a mother, how can I not endure this hardship?" β
One sentence successfully aroused Chi Xiaoxiao's fighting spirit, yes! She's going to be a mother, and in order to give her daughter the best, she has to be strong!
Over the next three days, the labor pains became more frequent and intense. Chi Xiaoxiao finally understood that the first labor pain was really just the beginning.
From the occasional pain in the waist and abdomen, to the pain all over her body in the end, Chi Xiaoxiao rarely goes out and around anymore, and sometimes she doesn't even have an appetite to eat.
Chu Xingyu was so anxious that he forgot all the medical knowledge, but Director Mei was experienced in a hundred battles, and seeing that Chi Xiaoxiao couldn't eat, he had already prepared countermeasures.
The first stage of labor began at 3 p.m. on August 2.
At that time, Chi Xiaoxiao thought that it was just labor pains again, but as soon as the examination results came out, she was pushed into the delivery room. Every once in a while, she would hear the communication between the doctor and the midwife, and although she couldn't understand it, she knew that the baby was about to come out.
The pain slowly intensified, and next to his ears was Director Mei's kind voice:
"Miss Chi, don't be afraid, relax, inhale, yes, it's good......"
"Director Mei ......"
This kind of pain like a knife stirring and churning in her body, Chi Xiaoxiao really couldn't bear it. It turned out that it was a lie to shout and give birth to a child on TV, and at this time, she didn't even have the strength to speak, how could she shout?
Director Mei stretched out his hand without hesitation: "Miss Chi, grab me, look, Director Mei is here!" Don't be afraid, you and your child will be safe! β
Ji Xiaoxiao was soaking wet, nodded hard, and inhaled again.
These days, Director Mei has also popularized some childbirth knowledge with her, and Chi Xiaoxiao has tried to calm herself down and relax, waiting for contractions.
"Good!" Director Mei approvingly: "Keep it up, take it easy......"
The contractions were caught off guard, and the voices of Director Mei and the medical staff sounded in my ears: "You have to work hard!" 1.2......"
------
Today in Liuzhou City, it is a rainy day, the rain has been falling all night and refuses to stop, Shao Junyi has insomnia all night, he is very upset, and he is also very panicked.
How long has it been? He has never been in such a state.
The last time it was like this, it took many years to find out, and it was her who had an accident at that time, but now?
The ball at his feet seemed to be holding on to his spirit and wanted to accompany Shao Junyi, but it was too late for it to keep dozing off.
Shao Junyi had two bottles of Collector's Edition RomanΓ©e Conti in his hand, which were empty. On the other side was an ashtray full of cigarette butts, and the air was filled with the smell of peppermint-flavored tobacco, Shao Junyi took the last one out of the cigarette case and lit it, and threw the empty box to the ground for the company of several other cigarette boxes.
Yin Meng rushed to hear the news, and when he entered the door, he almost choked on his back. Coughing, he opened the curtains and opened the window. Outside, the sky was already dark, the rain had stopped, and although it was gloomy, it was already clearing.
"I said you'd be enough! Why do you let your dog smoke with you here? Yin violently scooped up the ball on the ground and rubbed its head indiscriminately, and the ball made a dissatisfied "whining" sound in protest.
"Do you all believe she's dead?" Shao Junyi asked in a low voice.
Yin Meng's eyes were a little dim: "How long are you going to escape?" Those things can't be faked! You also snatched her ashes back from that scorpion, what else is there not to believe? β
"Escape?" Shao Junyi lowered his eyes lonely and smiled bitterly: "Heh......"
