"Little brother, little brother, my sister-in-law gave birth, and she is a daughter!" Wu San, the chief of the guard, ran into the commander's office and shouted the good news.

The pen in Xiao Yimin's hand suddenly slipped and stood up excitedly: "Good, good!" I'm going back, I'm going back......"

Xiao Yimin forgot to take his military hat, ran out of the office in a hurry, suddenly turned back, and laughed loudly: "Brother Bao, the message sent to Zhong Ying has been drafted, please send it out after polishing, come to my house for a drink tonight, you must go...... And my brothers, all those who are not on duty will go tonight! Let's go first, haha......"

Bao Jiqing and a group of confidential staff officers laughed when they saw Xiao Yimin so out of shape, Bao Jiqing was also very happy for Xiao Yimin, and rarely joked with the staff officers:

"Our Commander Xiao's concept is different from ours, he thinks about having a daughter all day long, I once asked him, why do you like her daughter so much? His answers were: first, daughters are closer to their fathers; 2. When you marry your daughter, you can blatantly accept the bride price and make a small fortune justifiably; 3. As long as it is a child born to a daughter, no matter who the son-in-law is, the child has inherited the bloodline of his grandparents and is his own flesh and blood. ”

All the staff officers are people with active thoughts and superior intelligence, and after listening to Bao Jiqing's words, they were still stunned for a while, and then they burst into laughter, the more they thought about it, the more difficult it was to suppress their laughter, and the older ones laughed and scolded the single-minded commander for having such greedy and dirty ideas, but they had to admit that although there are not many things about women going out of the wall, they have really existed and cannot be avoided for thousands of years, so thinking about it, I really feel that what Commander Xiao said makes sense.

Xiao Yimin rushed to the house, the female doctor of the church who delivered the baby, Qi Ya Mama and two female nurses, just accepted the big red envelope and went out, the tall Qi Ya Mama in her forties saw Xiao Yimin sweating profusely and ran to thank her, and hurriedly congratulated Xiao Yimin, said a very cute kind words about the mother and daughter Ping An little girl, and took the opportunity to ask Xiao Yimin to promise his wife Yi Zhenying to join Christianity and become the daughter of God.

Xiao Yimin, who was excited, agreed, thanked Mama Qi Ya and the two female nurses again, and sent the happy Mama Qi Ya to the door to board the carriage and leave before coming back.

Xiao Yimin's two sons and daughters are delivered by the gynecology expert Qi Ya Mama of the German Church, and the frequent correspondence between his wife and Qi Ya Mama is very good, and the wife has spent a lot of money to co-establish the orphanage with Qi Ya Mama in the past two years and has doubled, and it has already spread far and wide in Sichuan, after many interviews and reports by Chinese and foreign reporters, the orphanage has been highly praised by Chinese and foreign charities, and the International Red Cross sent representatives to send 10,000 yuan to donate 10,000 yuan at the beginning of the year, and the Chengdu Welfare Institute has adopted more than 500 orphans in scale, complete facilities and systems, The orderly education model and living conditions are full of praise, and the Chengdu Orphanage is called a model welfare home.

Therefore, Xiao Yimin has long been mentally prepared, he knows that his kind-hearted and soft-eared wife will join Christianity sooner or later under the never-ending bewitchment of Mama Qi Ya, but he has no time to mention it to himself when he is pregnant with a child, so it is better to agree to it.

In Xiao Yimin's view, it doesn't matter what religion you believe, your wife has the right to choose her own faith, and with faith, she will have a spiritual pillar, and people will become stronger, which is better than no faith.

What Xiao Yimin didn't expect was that the satisfied Mama Qi Ya returned to the church and immediately told Father Le Bosi and a group of monks and nuns the good news that Yi Zhenying was about to enter the church.

The German priest, who was over 50 years old, danced with excitement and immediately decided to send this good news to the General Christian Association in Shanghai, and optimistically said: "The admission of the general's wife to the Church is of milestone significance, and is God's greatest reward and encouragement to us servants, Christianity will surely be propagated in the vast western part of China, and the gospel of God will be preached throughout the ancient land of the East!" ”

A group of women gathered in the living room on the second floor saw Xiao Yimin arrive and congratulated him.

Xiao Yimin was so happy to return the salute frequently, patted the heads of Xiao Feng, Xiao Shuang, Xiao Xue, and Xiao Yu one by one, and deliberately turned to Ma Xiaoyue, who was full of red light, and asked: "Why didn't you come back from school?" It looks like school doesn't have a holiday, right? ”

Ma Xiaoyue pouted and complained: "You don't care about our sister-in-law, you don't know that the child is born, and you have to be notified to know that you will rush back." ”

Xiao Yimin was embarrassed, he immediately slipped into the bedroom with a smile, and when he closed the door casually, he heard bursts of laughter from outside, and he couldn't care so much, so he ran to the bed in two steps, picked up his wife's pale face, and said with great regret:

"Exhausted? I didn't expect to be born so soon, and it was still a week short of Mama Qiya's prediction, so I ...... Xiaoying, thank you for your hard work! ”

Yi Zhenying, who had eased up, was in good spirits, holding her husband's hand happily: "Finally gave birth to a girl for your old Xiao family, didn't you say that there are men and women to form a 'good' word?" ”

"Hey, hey! It's good, it's just that you're too sinned, and I feel distressed. Xiao Yimin got cheap and began to sell well.

Yi Zhenying couldn't help but take her husband's hand and take a bite, then looked at the little nurse who was blushing and didn't dare to look up, smiled and whispered:

"Let's go and see my daughter, the meat is whirring and she looks a little ugly, but Mama Qi Ya said that her daughter is very beautiful and very healthy, you can go and see it."

Xiao Yimin hurriedly walked to the small bed, happily looked at his daughter with thick hair, and couldn't help but reach out and gently caress her pink little face, as if to pass on all the tenderness and love that surged in his heart to his baby daughter who had not yet opened her eyes.

The little nurse whispered that the child's nose and mouth looked like his father, and then tactfully suggested that Xiao Yimin should not disturb the child and let the child's mother have a good rest.

Xiao Yimin hurriedly agreed, bowed his head lovingly and kissed his daughter's little hand, returned to his beloved wife and said a basket of beautiful words, and then reluctantly left the bedroom, fourteen-year-old little sister Xiao Yu whispered that many guests had come to congratulate and were drinking tea in the main hall downstairs.

Xiao Yimin hurriedly went downstairs, and saw that seven old friends such as Mr. Zou and Xu Xiaogang, the chief of education of the military academy, were drinking tea and laughing, and stepped forward to thank everyone.

"Drink, drink! It's time for lunch, how do you entertain guests? ”

As soon as Old Master Zou opened his mouth, he immediately attracted a full house of echoes, and Xiao Yimin invited everyone to the middle courtyard restaurant with a smile, and the prescient chefs had already prepared most of the exquisite dishes.

Ten minutes later, the whole restaurant was full of laughter, the aroma of wine overflowed, Zhang Lan, who had drunk three glasses of wine and then used half a bowl of rice, wiped his mouth, took out the message unhurriedly, and laughed loudly:

"You all said just now, Yiming's daughter was born when the good news of the 'physical and chemical victory' came, and today is a good day for Yiming, but I want to say, not only double happiness, but three happiness! Ha ha...... Yiming, ladies and gentlemen, at nine o'clock in the morning, the appointment telegram signed by President Yuan Da also arrived, officially appointing me as the Sichuan Patrol Envoy, appointing Yiming as the Sichuan Governor, with full authority over Sichuan military affairs, and the list of the chairmen and vice-chairmen of the provincial council and the heads of various departments that we reported to have been approved have also been approved. From now on, we can do it right! ”

Everyone cheered in unison, and immediately stood up to toast Xiao Yimin, Xiao Yimin also toasted Zhang Lan and Zeng Shouwu, and after drinking five or six glasses in a noisy, everyone happily sat down again.

Xu Xiaogang, who officially became the Minister of Military Affairs of the Sichuan Army General Headquarters and the executive vice president of the Sichuan Army Military Academy, was also very excited, and turned to Xiao Yimin, who had great respect and trust in him, and asked loudly:

"Yiming, your eldest son was born during the victory of the Battle of Sichuan and Yunnan, and the name Nanzheng is very atmospheric and meaningful, and now that Sanxi is coming, you should give your daughter a well-known name, right?"

Everyone hurriedly agreed, and Xiao Yimin laughed: "I've thought about it for a long time, let's call Xiao Xizheng, haha!" ”

After everyone was stunned, they burst into laughter, and Old Man Zou was very dissatisfied, knocked on the table, and vetoed loudly: "No!" How can any girl take this name? If you Xiao Yimin only have this level, I really want to despise you! ”

Everyone laughed again, the word "contempt" came from Xiao Yimin's mouth in ordinary colloquial language, and it didn't take long for it to spread from the wine table in the Xiao family's compound to the Sichuan officialdom, and now it has become popular, and even the old man Zou, who has a deep foundation in Chinese studies, also said it.

After everyone laughed, they suggested that Xiao Yimin might as well use the word "Jie" or other words containing victory to replace the word "Xizheng" in the hard state, after all, it is a daughter's family, and it is too domineering to take the name of Xizheng, I am afraid that it will frighten the future in-laws.

Xiao Yimin thought about it and still didn't want to change it, but he was determined to have five children, and the name of the southeast, northwest, and northwest had already been there, so he was very reluctant to change it again.

Xiao Yimin was laughed at by his colleagues for a long time, gritted his teeth and was just about to speak, when Old Man Zou's chopsticks hit the table again:

"That's it! No matter how much you think about it, you stubborn guy with no background will not come up with a good name for your daughter. In this way, since you must pull your daughter's name to your great cause of revitalization, simply call it Xiao Mu! Everyone here knows that you Xiao Yiming is determined to recover the territory of Sichuan and Tibet, and complete the unfulfilled wish of your mentor Zhao Erfeng, and now the fierce general of the border army, Zhong Ying, has fulfilled his mission and won the important military and political town of Lihua City on the border of Sichuan and Tibet in one fell swoop, and the recovery of the entire Xikang has become a matter of waiting, and the next biggest thing is how to govern Xikang, hold Xikang, and develop Xikang, so it is more appropriate to use the word 'pastoral', for the girl, it is a hundred times more elegant than the 'Western Expedition'! ”

Everyone applauded loudly, and they all praised Old Man Zou repeatedly, Zou Wenhan was proud, and when he raised his wine glass, he didn't forget to disgust Xiao Yimin with his eyes.

Xiao Xue ran over and whispered a few words in Xiao Yimin's ear, the embarrassed Xiao Yimin took the opportunity to stand up, Lehaha arched his hand to invite everyone to have fun, and then left the wine table and rushed to Yi Zhenying's side, holding his beloved wife's hand and asking in a low voice: "Why don't you rest for a while?" You have to rest if you have anything. ”

Yi Zhenying pushed Xiao Yimin away, her face was full of anger: "I don't allow you to name your daughter Xizheng, how can the girl's family take such a rude and domineering name?" How did you become a daddy? ”

Xiao Yimin was very surprised, looked around and found that no one was in the house, and it was estimated that the informant had run away after the plot succeeded, so he had to laugh and explain in a low voice:

"Isn't it undecided? Besides, the name Xizheng is very good and very commemorative, better than, yo! Ouch yo ...... Hiss ......"

Yi Zhenying quietly stretched out her hand from the bottom of the quilt, and had already tightly pinched Xiao Yimin's right and wrong roots, so painful that Xiao Yimin's whole body stiffened and grinned, Yi Zhenying was angry but turned around for half a circle, staring at Xiao Yimin, who was bent over in pain, and asked, "Say?" What is the name of the daughter? ”

"Oops....... let go...... I said, I said, Old Man Zou has already settled down, his name is Xiao Mu, the herding herd...... Oh my god! Vicious, you ......."

While Yi Zhenying was stunned after listening to it, Xiao Yimin successfully got out, covered his lower body and sat on the edge of the bed grinning, constantly complaining about his beloved wife Gang Xianshu for two years, and he became barbaric again.

Yi Zhenying didn't care, a pair of beautiful eyes shone brightly:

"What a name! The old man is really a famous master of Chinese culture in Bashu, and the name is so elegant, and it has a deep charm, Lang Lang is beautiful, good, good! Husband ......"

Xiao Yimin covered the key position and slowly leaned over: "You are a dog?" Say change your face, change your face, have a rough ....... like you, uh, hehe! But it looks like you're recovering well, and you'll be able to go down tomorrow, haha! Wife, you are a great hero of my old Xiao family, one leg at a time, one leg at a time, all of them are so healthy and beautiful, I Xiao Yimin is blessed! ”

Yi Zhenying slapped Xiao Yimin: "I will talk nonsense and be likable, but well, I am comfortable and happy, as long as you are happy, let me have as many children as you want for your old Xiao family, I like children...... Who? Go see who's out there? ”

Xiao Yimin hurriedly turned his head, and saw Ma Xiaoyue's charming figure disappearing outside the open door, and turned to his wife and pretended to be indifferent:

"I guess which child was naughty, and he didn't dare to come in when he wanted to see his little sister, and was scared away by your scream...... Where did you just go? By the way, when you take care of your health, we will have another son, so that Nan Zheng can have a younger brother. ”

"I forgot to tell you, did you tell Uncle Liu in the West Courtyard, the old man held his son to play all day long, and said that his son was born to practice martial arts, I was worried, my son is not yet two years old, how can I practice martial arts with small arms and legs......"
