Xia Shan and his wife returned to the capital yesterday, and they sent the things that their hometown sent to Xia Erni in the evening. The Wang family sent more than 100 catties of bacon, and other relatives also gave a lot of decent gifts, including clothes for use and Xiangjiang specialties. And Xia Tie and Xiao Yang only brought her ten catties of peanuts, which made Xia Erni very sad.

Before, she asked Xia Shan to bring back ten taels of silver, some food in the capital, and a set of silk clothes for her parents and younger brothers. After coming to the capital for so long, she still misses her mother's family very much. She doesn't want her mother's family to send anything valuable, as long as they prepare it carefully, she likes it.

What Xia Shan didn't have to say was that Xia Erni brought back those things, Xia Tie and Xiao Yang were particularly dissatisfied, and felt that their son-in-law was in front of the Beijing official, but they didn't know how to bring more silver back to their parents' family. Now Xia Laohan only has Qiu Li in his eyes, and scolds Xia Tie for buying Qiu Li two catties of rare mushrooms unique to Huaxiang Mountain, but he doesn't care much about his granddaughter Erni......

In the evening, Ye Feng and Wang Xin came back together. They had dinner in the courtyard, Wang Xin led Xia Erni away, and Qiu Zhongshu and Li Xiumin stayed in the courtyard to rest.

Xia Shan followed Ye Feng to the outer study, and secretly invited King Ming. Xia Shan went back not only to marry a daughter-in-law, but also to help King Ming do some secret things. He gave a report on the situation in Xiangjiang Province, including the use of some treasures, the cultivation of fine iron, the development of firearms, and so on. Now, General Lu Bing, He Duhua, Zeng Lin, Liu Changzhao, Zhao Liang and other officials are secretly doing things for King Ming and the Ye family.

Knowing that Ye Feng and Xia Shan would rest in the outer courtyard, Qiu Li whispered to Li Xiumin until midnight. Li Xiumin is the best handkerchief hand of the original owner, from childhood to adulthood, Qiu Li herself is also the most reasonable with her.

As soon as Li Xiumin talked about her difficult years in the past, she couldn't stop crying.

“…… I thought that my life was over, and I missed it with Brother Shanzi, and I would be a sister-in-law in the nunnery for the rest of my life. Who knows that the sky is pitiful, my brother met you, Brother Shanzi does not dislike me, and is willing to marry me. I could marry him and live this life, I never dreamed of it. ”

Qiu Li smiled, "This is your fate." My third uncle was infatuated, and when your family withdrew, he was skinny and skinny, and he wanted to die......"

On the twentieth day, Xia Shan's family was treated. Ye Feng went, but he didn't dare to let the pot-bellied Qiu Li go.

The sky was covered with goose feathers and snow, and the wind was howling and the window paper rustled.

The house was as warm as spring, Qiu Li sat on the warm kang and thought about his thoughts, and he hadn't come back yet. When production is due at the end of this month and the beginning of next month, it's really worrying.

A few wisps of smoke wafted from the incense burner, and the pleasant aroma was mixed with a hint of refreshing coolness. It's agarwood, and she loves the taste!

And Xiaoxue couldn't stay still, if it didn't smell sandalwood every day, it would be uncomfortable, and Qiu Li asked people to send it to Fushoutang.

At noon, Zhu Er drove the carriage back in the heavy snow to send Dangdang, Xiong Xiang, and Heizi back, and also brought a few pieces of game he collected in the village. The bear was frozen and wrapped in a thick mattress, and he regretted it very much. It thought that in the future, there would be endless honey and apples on the mountain, and this ghost weather would not go up the mountain.

When they came back, Qiu Li finally put his mind at ease. I was disgusted with Dangdang a few words, and it was not allowed to enter the mountain again before production.

Zhu Er also said that this time it was the black wolf who sent them down the mountain. Zhu Er had the courage to bring a bowl of raw pork, and the black wolf ate it very respectfully.

Qiu Li was very satisfied with the work performance of Zhu Er and his wife, and gave him the New Year's red envelope in advance.

The next morning, Qiu Li was still resting, and suddenly a severe abdominal pain woke her up, and she shouted, "Mama, my stomach hurts." ”

Mama Zhao was sitting under the window doing needlework. Now she doesn't dare to go home, and stays in the courtyard day and night. After hearing this, he quickly got up and ran over and said, "Grandma should have had a seizure, don't panic, it's still early to give birth." Then he told the girl, "Go quickly and let the midwife prepare the delivery room."

The delivery room is in the west wing of the backyard, and everything that should be prepared is ready, and the earth dragon and charcoal basin are burned every day.

After Ye Feng heard the news, he hurriedly rode back on horseback. Qiu Zhongshu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xia Shan. Li Xiumin and Xia Erni were not at ease, and they also came to Yefu in a carriage.

Ye Feng returned to the hospital, and Qiu Li was already lying in the delivery room in the backyard. The old lady, He An, the second lady Zhao, and the second grandmother Tan all sat in the wing room and waited, and the north house was the delivery room.

Ye Feng was stopped by He'an, and he was not even allowed to enter the hall. He had to walk back and forth outside the window, occasionally hearing a few soft hums in the house, and he was so distressed that he couldn't do it. He knew that Qiu Li was not squeamish, she snorted, and she must have been in pain so much that she couldn't bear it.

He stood outside the window and said, "Lili, if it really hurts, cry out, don't bear it." ”

Seeing that his son was so unproductive, He'an's brows furrowed. He said, "That's how women give birth to their children. You're still a general, and you're so angry when you fight bandits? I'm not afraid of jokes! ”

Ye Feng glanced at the old lady a few times, was speechless, and continued to walk outside the window.

The old lady smiled, "Father Xiao." When you were in the wind, my eldest son was walking around the window like this, dazzling people's eyes. ”

He An laughed, Fang didn't say anything more, the kind of warmth that had been a long time ago made her nose sour.

Dangdang and Xiongxiang, Heizi, and Xiaoxue didn't go into the wing, and followed Ye Feng outside to walk outside. Especially Dangdang, it feels sorry for its sister, its eyes are watery, and anyone can see how worried it is.

Qiu Lisheng didn't give birth until the evening, and the elders of the old lady were persuaded to go back to the courtyard to rest, and the little daughters-in-law of Tan's, Li Xiumin, and Xia Erni were still staying here.

Ye Feng was still standing outside the window and waiting, and when he waited with it, he didn't go back if anyone persuaded him.

At two o'clock the next day, I only heard Qiu Li's shout, followed by a loud cry, and the child was finally born.

The midwife said happily, "Congratulations to Grandma Ye, it's a brother." ”

There was a burst of jubilation in the courtyard. Ye Feng said with a smile, "Go to Fushoutang and the main courtyard to give good news to my grandmother and my mother." ”

Then, the midwife's voice came, "After the scale, my brother is seven pounds and nine taels." ”

There are not many children of this weight, and they are still born, and Mama Zhao excitedly recited the Buddha a few times.

It was cold, the child did not dare to take it out, and the blood stains in the delivery room had not been cleaned up. Mama Zhao looked at Ye Feng outside, and did not allow him to enter the wing, so anxious that Ye Feng rubbed his hands.

Li Xiumin and Xia Erni looked at the child. Xia Erni was more familiar with Ye Feng, and ran out to laugh with him, "Brother-in-law, the child looks good, like you." ”

Ye Feng was even happier, and he beat the boss with a loud sound.

Qiu Li was cleaned up by the midwife and mother-in-law, carried to the south room opposite, and the soiled sheets, bedding and some dirty things were rolled out and carried out, and Ye Feng and Mama Zhao entered the house.
