Chapter 2 Fate
All night, Chen Jun spent the whole night with his wife and children in the hospital, he didn't close his eyes all night, he was extremely excited, he looked at his wife lying on the bed, and then looked at the children lying next to his wife, and felt that life was completely perfect so far, everything else was illusory, and only those who were connected to their own blood were truly their own.
As soon as the day was bright, Chen Jun's mother came to the hospital, carrying the soft-shelled turtle soup that she had stewed at home for a night, and her neighbor Lao Liu had told her when she went back last night that she had a big fat grandson, so when she came to the hospital today, her face was like a smiling flower.
When she entered the delivery room, the first thing the old lady did was to rush over to protect her eldest grandson, looking at the pink baby in the swaddling clothes, the old lady only shouted "heart and liver", hugged the child and didn't let go, and directly squeezed Chen Jun and Wang Hui aside.
After recuperating in the hospital for a few days, Chen Jun took his daughter-in-law home and took maternity leave and confinement at home.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the child to be full moon, Chen Jun, his daughter-in-law and his mother took the child back to his hometown Cangzhou to celebrate the full moon for the child and meet the elders of the family.
Chen Jun's family is located in the countryside of Cangzhou, Hebei Province, Cangzhou has been famous for its martial arts since ancient times.
Chen Jun himself also knows some superficial tricks, and he has never had the opportunity to study deeply when he was a child, so he learned some so-called crop tricks under the leadership of his family, and he dare not say that he is famous, but it is more than enough for self-defense and physical fitness.
This kind of place is better for the preservation of traditional culture, people are more reasonable, this is not Chen Jun as the eldest son and grandson of the Chen family, he gave birth to a child, naturally he is the eldest son and grandson of the next generation, in a family this has always been a major event, although Chen Jun works in Beijing, this day must also bring the child back to do the full moon wine, not only to celebrate the full moon of the child, but also to let the newborn child recognize the ancestors in the identity of the ancestor.
The ancestral hall of the Chen family was already full of friends at this time, and all the people who could come from the Chen family clan had already arrived, Chen Jun and his parents, wives and children were all in the ancestral hall, constantly accepting congratulations from the people in the clan, and everyone would come forward to tease and tease the children.
Children are not afraid of people, although they are only a month old, but they are not afraid of strangers at all, and when they see everyone's babbling, they wave their little hands and feet to try to catch each other.
The most important link arrived, the patriarch of the family began to preside over the child's naming ceremony, the child's grandfather gave the child a one-word name "Sheng", because of being in the hometown of martial arts, practicing martial arts has become a trend, so people are more competitive, the old man's name is mostly in the "victory, strong, healthy, soldier and other words" to choose, the child's full name is called Chen Sheng, there is the meaning of taking advantage of the victory to pursue.
Wang Hui, the daughter-in-law of Chen Sheng, was not satisfied with this name, she felt that the child's name was too heavy, and she was afraid that the child would have many disasters in the future, and as a young woman who graduated from college in the eighties, this name was not literary and artistic, and it did not meet Wang Hui's mind, but after all, her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she still listened to the opinions of the elders in the family and named the child Chen Sheng.
The patriarch solemnly wrote Chen Sheng's name on the genealogy, seemingly with a few strokes, but in the future, this name set off a monstrous wave in his field.
After the full moon wine, Chen Sheng and his wife and children returned to Beijing, Chen Sheng worked in a government unit in Beijing, and his work content was not much every day, and he seemed very leisurely, like an old pedant, after a little work, he drank tea and read the newspaper to spend a day, and he could not leave early, nor could he be late, and he could not skip work for no reason, and he firmly tied people here to spend time. It has been three or four years since he graduated from university, and Chen Jun is slowly losing enthusiasm for this job.
Wang Hui became a teacher in a university, and was also directly assigned after graduating from university, first as a counselor, and then after a year of taking the on-the-job graduate examination at the school, and now studying as an on-the-job graduate student while working. Very busy.
The husband and wife are at work every day, and the child is handed over to Chen Jun's mother, the old lady's body is still very tough, and she is also very willing to bring her big fat grandson to reduce the burden of her son and daughter-in-law.
Life is just like this, simple and happy.
It has been one year since the child was born, and it will be the child's first birthday in two days, which is a very important birthday, and it must be celebrated.
The day is approaching, Chen Jun and his daughter-in-law packed up, and returned to their hometown in Cangzhou with their children.
The first birthday is also to set a table in the ancestral hall of the clan to entertain guests, and the people who come today are not only people from the Chen clan, but also some local celebrities in Cangzhou, especially many people in the local martial arts community in Cangzhou, and almost all of them have been invited. The entire clan ancestral hall was crowded.
Grandpa Chen Jun meant to take this opportunity to let these local martial arts celebrities take a look at the child's roots and bones to see if they were the materials that could be made for practicing martial arts.
The activities at the first birthday banquet have almost been carried out, and the most important part is to "catch the week"
This is a tradition that has been passed down in China for thousands of years, and it is a thing that children must do when they are first born, just because of the different times and environments, the utensils used to grasp the week are different, but the rituals are all there.
The difference between Cangzhou's local Zhou and other places is that there are local characteristics, there are more weapons, only to see the eight immortals table used to catch Zhou in the middle of the ancestral hall, in addition to the traditional seal, Confucianism, interpretation, Taoism three teaching scriptures, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, abacus, coins, account books, jewelry, flowers, rouge, food, toys but also some knives, guns, swords, halberd weapon models.
Chen Jun and Wang Hui hugged their son to the table where Zhou was captured, and all the people gathered around to witness the time.
Little Chen Sheng was not afraid of so many people around him, he was lying on the table with a smile, looking at these things on the table with curiosity on his face, he felt very funny, and wanted to reach for it, but he was held down by his father, waving his hands and feet on the table and struggling.
The auspicious time has arrived, the patriarch announced the start, only to see Chen Jun let go of his son lying on the table, Chen Sheng on the table felt that the power to grab himself was gone, and began to crawl towards the pile of things in the center of the table with both hands and feet, and soon crawled to the destination.
But looking at so many things in front of him, Xiao Chen Sheng didn't know what to take.
The adults around were all looking at the children on the table, especially Chen Jun's family, who were very nervous, lest the children pick up the flowers and rouge or something, then they would laugh and be generous.
Little things crawled around on the table, never choosing what to take.
After a moment of steadiness on the table, as if thinking, after nearly a minute, suddenly the little thing seemed to have made a decision, and crawled straight towards one of the things.
It was a pen, and the little guy crawled over and grabbed the barrel with his right hand, and held it in his hand, and everyone around him applauded happily.
It is a very good choice, it seems that the child may become a cultural person in the future, an intellectual, in the eyes of rural people, a literate person is always worthy of respect.
This choice was very much in line with Chen Jun and Wang Hui's expectations, both of them laughed happily and hugged each other to celebrate, they both hoped that their children would study hard in the future, be admitted to a good university, and get ahead in the future.
Everyone noticed that although the child had already grasped something, he did not stop, and continued to crawl forward, until he finally approached his second target, grabbing a small wooden knife with his fat left hand.
"Both civil and military" Someone immediately shouted, everyone applauded, and Chen Jun's family jumped up excitedly.
The locals pay more attention to these, "civil and military shuangquan" This is a good sign that the local children have not been out of the week for many years, and today appeared on the heads of the Chen family grandchildren, all the people of the Chen family clan felt that their faces were shining, and they applauded wildly there, saying hello to Chen Jun and his wife.
Wang Hui rushed forward happily, hugged her son, and kept kissing the child, Xiao Chen Sheng was still firmly holding the trophy that he had grabbed Zhou.
All the martial arts people who came to the scene today have seen the results of this child's grasp, which is a very good sign, they have not seen such a good meaning for many years, and they all looked at the child in Wang Hui's arms with a little bright eyes, and they couldn't wait to come forward and take a closer look at the child to see if the root bone was suitable for their own sect and martial arts, and if they could, they would include it in their own door.
Everyone stepped forward in unison, and was about to surround Wang Hui, and asked Wang Hui to show them the child, Wang Hui also knew their purpose, and did not hand over the child to them, holding her son and calling her husband Chen Jun over.
Chen Jun also noticed this situation, and his father stepped forward to communicate with these martial arts people, Chen Jun took his son over, hugged them and let these people take a closer look.
I saw that this child's arms and legs are thicker and stronger than ordinary children, and his height is higher than that of ordinary children, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks very pleasing to the eye, and he can see that the child's foundation is very good, his appearance is thoughtful, and he must have a good body when he grows up, which is the most important prerequisite for practicing martial arts, and this is a good material for practicing martial arts, and everyone has formed a consensus.
So these martial arts people all spoke one after another, hoping that the old man of the Chen family would promise that the child would be a little older, and he would worship under his own door to practice martial arts.
Chen Jun discussed with his father in a low voice, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to listen to him calmly, "Seniors, thanks to your love, we are very honored to take a fancy to the dog, but we are still very young and cannot make this decision, otherwise, when the child is a little older, he can start to lay the foundation, I am bothering you, let's make a decision then, now it's a bit too hasty."
After stopping Chen Jun's explanation, everyone present also thought about it for a while, felt that what they said was reasonable, so they agreed, and made an appointment to decide to choose a sect and master when the child could grow up and lay a foundation.
The ceremony of arresting Zhou was over, and Chen Jun and Wang Hui returned to Beijing with their children and returned to their old lives.
