Chapter 100: Giving Birth to a Child
Since Xiao Yuwei identified Zhou Zhiqing, the Xiao family proposed to meet Zhou Zhiqing's mother.
Zhou Zhiqing was also very talkative, and on the second day, he called the commune and asked the people in the commune to spread the word and ask her mother to come to the capital.
A week later, the Xiao family met Zhou Zhiqing's mother, Sun Xiu'e.
Sun Xiu'e is thin and small, not tall, about the same age as Guo Haiying, but she is already full of white hair, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are full of wrinkles, and her skin is dark, showing a simple dark red.
Zhou Zhiqing took Sun Xiu'e to Xiao's house as a guest today, and Zhao Zhiqing was carrying a bag of fruit in his hand.
After entering the door, Sun Xiu'e looked at the furnishings in the house in surprise.
Before coming, although Sun Xiu'e heard Zhou Zhiqing say that Xiao Yuwei's family was rich and in good conditions, she didn't expect that Xiao Yuwei's house would be so big, and in Sun Xiu'e's eyes, the house where the emperor lived was like this.
Zhou Zhiqing brought Sun Xiu'e here, and the smiling beauty was naturally warmly welcomed.
Guo Haiying invited with a smile, "Please sit down, please sit down......"
Sun Xiu'e grinned embarrassedly, "Thank you." ”
Old Man Xiao asked Sun Xiu'e with a smile, "For the sake of the two juniors, you have to travel so far, is it the road?" ”
Sun Xiu'e sat on the sofa, looking a little at a loss, and when she heard Old Man Xiao's words, she shook her head again and again, "No, no, I am happy to be able to come to the capital!" ”
Old Man Xiao smiled, "That's good, that's good." Then he asked, "How is your hometown now?" Will everyone be able to eat? ”
Sun Xiu'e grinned and showed a bright smile, "I can eat enough, after the village divided the land a few years ago, the grain production in the field increased, and after paying the public grain, I can save a lot of the remaining grain, and subsidize Zhiqing!" ”
At this time, Xiao Yuwei took a few cups of tea, walked out of the kitchen, her face was slightly red, put a cup of tea down in front of Sun Xiu'e, and said with a red face, "Auntie, you drink tea." ”
Sun Xiu'e thanked her again and again, looked at the pretty Xiao Yuwei and smiled, "You are Yuwei, my family Zhiqing told me, your business, don't worry, as long as you are willing, I have no opinion." ”
Xiao Yuwei's face turned red all of a sudden, turned around embarrassedly, and ran back to the kitchen.
Susie, who was sleeping before, heard the movement downstairs and also got up from the bed and came to the first floor.
Although Susie is pregnant and has a big belly, her face is so beautiful, Sun Xiu'e glanced at Susie and exclaimed, "Alas, this girl is really handsome, like a fairy." ”
This made the whole family laugh.
Susie also smiled and greeted, "Hello Auntie, sit down." ”
Sun Xiu'e nodded again and again.
Old Man Xiao said to Guo Haiying on the side, "Let Sister-in-law Lin go grocery shopping and cook a few more dishes at noon today." ”
Guo Haiying hurriedly smiled.
Sun Xiu'e said again and again, "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, let's just go back and eat, why are you embarrassed to eat at your house!" ”
Old Man Xiao said, "The visitor is a guest, how can you let the guest return on an empty stomach?" ”
Under the persuasion of the Xiao family, Zhou Zhiqing and Sun Xiu'e both stayed to eat, Sun Xiu'e looked at the table full of food, and was a little stunned for a while, she had never eaten such a sumptuous meal.
Life has been better in the past two years, and when Zhou Zhiqing goes home for the New Year every year, Sun Xiu'e only cuts a few catties of pork, wraps two dumplings, and eats a bowl of braised pork.
But the meals on this table are not only chicken, duck and fish, but also palm-sized shrimp, and there are ingredients for several dishes, Sun Xiu'e has never heard of them.
Sun Xiao'e exclaimed, "This is also... That's too much, right, can you finish it? ”
Old Man Xiao said, "We don't usually eat like this, but today in order to entertain you, we made something more sumptuous, don't be polite, eat more." ”
Sun Xiu'e was a little restrained, although the food she cooked was very delicious, she didn't eat much, for fear of embarrassing her son.
After eating, the two sides talked for a while, Zhou Zhiqing and Sun Xiu'e offered to leave, and Old Man Xiao kept a few words, and asked Guo Haiying to send their mother and son away.
After the mother and son left, Old Man Xiao asked Susie, "Xixi, what do you think of Zhou Zhiqing's mother?" ”
Susie thought for a moment and said, "It looks pretty good at the moment. ”
Old Man Xiao also nodded and said, "At present, he looks like an honest person. ”
After Guo Haiying sent people back, Guo Haiying called Xiao Yuwei to the hall and listened to the opinions of Susie and Old Man Xiao.
Guo Haiying held Xiao Yuwei's hand and sighed, "You girl, but it broke my mother's heart, Zhou Zhiqing's mother looks pretty good, she shouldn't be a difficult person to get along with, if you really recognize Zhou Zhiqing, then your mother has no opinion." ”
Xiao Yuwei's family agreed, and her face couldn't help but show joy.
But at this moment, Susie couldn't help but remind, "Yuwei, since Zhou Zhiqing and his mother have come to the capital, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave for a while, you can contact her more, and there is no hurry to get engaged." ”
Old man Xiao also said, "We have only met him once, and the first impression is not bad, but you still have more contact with her and make a decision." ”
Although Xiao Yuwei felt that there was no need for this, she also knew that her family was worried about herself, so she nodded and agreed after thinking about it.
After that, Xiao Yuwei often went to find Zhou Zhiqing, and she had more contact with Zhou Zhiqing's mother.
Two months later, Zhou Zhiqing brought his mother to the Xiao family to propose.
Xiao Yuwei told the Xiao family in advance that she had decided to marry Zhou Zhiqing, since Xiao Yuwei had been with Zhou Zhiqing's mother Sun Xiu'e for two months and was willing to marry Zhou Zhiqing, then the Xiao family naturally had no opinion, so they agreed.
Xiao Yuwei's age is not young, and after getting engaged, the wedding day is approaching.
Time passed in a hurry, seeing that it was the New Year again, because Susie was a twin, the expected date of delivery was earlier than that of ordinary pregnant women, but it was almost the New Year, Susie and Xiao Zhan discussed, and after the New Year, they would be admitted to the hospital in advance.
But what everyone didn't expect was that in 1986, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone finished the reunion dinner, Susie was a little sleepy, and her stomach still had some pain, so Xiao Zhan helped Susie back to the room to rest.
At 11:00 p.m., Susie felt a terrible stomachache and immediately asked Xiao Zhan to take her to the hospital.
After staying in the hospital for less than two hours, just after the Spring Festival, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Susie gave birth to a pair of sons in the early morning.
February 10, 1986;
Susie started in advance, Xiao Zhan was very nervous, Old Man Xiao couldn't sit still at home, and he also came to the hospital with him, fortunately, it didn't take long for people outside the ward to hear the baby's cry.
Even Xiao Zhan, who is calm and self-contained on weekdays, couldn't help but get nervous at the moment, walking around outside the delivery room, and kept muttering something in his mouth.
When the baby's cry came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Zhan immediately rushed to the door of the delivery room, wanting to see how Susie was doing.
When the door of the delivery room opened, Xiao Zhan immediately asked the nurse, "How is my daughter-in-law?" ”
The nurse held the two babies in her hands and said with a smile, "Don't worry, she's fine." ”
Xiao Zhan was relieved, glanced at the child in the nurse's arms, and entered the delivery room.
Guo Haiying and Xiao Qi, Old Man Guo, Xiao Yuwei, were relieved to hear that Susie was fine.
Guo Haiying was quick and immediately took a child from the nurse's arms, Xiao Qi took the other one, looked down, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It is really two little children, white and chubby, with a pair of big black round eyes, staring at Xiao Qi and Guo Haiying upright. The two children are not as wrinkled and red as other newborn babies, but they are white and fat, which makes people feel that their hearts melt at a glance.
Old Man Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Let me see, let me see......"
Guo Haiying watched the child fall into fascination, Xiao Qi had no choice, and reluctantly handed one of his grandsons to Old Man Xiao.
Old Man Xiao couldn't help but be happy when he saw his newborn great-grandson being chubby, "This kid is really handsome, follow his mother, he must be a handsome guy when he grows up!" ”
After Xiao Zhan rushed into the delivery room, he saw that Susie was really a little tired, lying on the delivery bed.
Xiao Zhan hurriedly walked over, held Susie's hand tightly with both hands, and leaned over to the mouth and kissed it, "Are you okay?" ”
Seeing Xiao Zhan coming, Susie shook her head lightly and said, "It's okay, I'm just so tired." ”
Xiao Zhan's eyes were gentle and doting, "Then you can sleep, I'll be here with you." ”
Susie smiled and nodded, and then she really fell asleep.
After the doctor finished cleaning up, Xiao Zhan personally pushed Susie to the ward.
The Xiao family held the child and followed them to the ward.
Although Old Man Xiao has rare two great-grandsons, he is old after all, and his body can't stand it, so Guo Haiying asked Xiao Qi to send Old Man Xiao home to rest.
Although Old Man Xiao was reluctant to leave, he kept yawning, his eyes couldn't open, and he could only go home with Xiao Qi.
On the morning of the second day, Mr. Su got the news and hurried to the hospital, and he was very happy to see his two great-grandsons. Old Man Su and Old Man Xiao hugged one by one and coaxed the two children.
Old Man Su looked at his great-grandson in his arms and asked Old Man Xiao, "Have you thought of the child's name?" ”
Old Man Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "I've thought about it for a long time, the eldest is called Xiao Cheng, and the second is called Xiao Yue." ”
Old Man Su nodded and said that it was okay, and Old Man Su asked again, "What about the little name?" ”
Old Man Xiao said, "The eldest is called Tong Tong, and the second is called Lele." ”
Susie woke up around 10 a.m. and recovered a lot after waking up.
Because it was a natural birth, Susie's body recovered quickly......
The two little ones drank some water from birth to awakening, and at this time they seemed to notice that Susie was awake, and suddenly burst into tears. Old Man Xiao said distressedly, "What's wrong with the child?" Why did you cry all of a sudden? ”
Old Man Su thought that he should be hungry, and when Susie fed the two children, the two little ones fell asleep directly.
Susie went home after spending 7 days in the hospital without any physical problems.
Then under the supervision of Guo Haiying, he sat for more than a month of confinement.
On the day of the confinement, Susie felt that her whole body was about to go rancid.
A few months have passed unconsciously, and tomorrow will be Xiao Yuwei's wedding day.
Before going to bed that night, Xiao Zhan went to fetch a basin of hot water again, and went back to the house with hot water, seeing that Susie was teasing his son, Xiao Zhan put the basin down at Susie's feet, skillfully and naturally took off Susie's shoes, and began to wash her feet.
Xiao Zhan suddenly spoke, "Yuwei is getting married, I originally planned to give her a house, but I didn't expect Yuwei to ask for it." ”
Susie teased the child and said, "Is it in a bad position?" She didn't like it. ”
Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "That's not it, it's Zhou Zhiqing who won't let her want it." ”
Susie let out an 'oh' and said, "Since you don't want to, forget it." ”
Xiao Zhan nodded, did not continue the topic, after washing Susie's feet, Xiao Zhan took a towel again, carefully wiped Susie's feet clean, and then stepped forward to hug the two sons.
The two little ones were already crawling on the bed, and when they saw Xiao Zhan playing with them, they giggled happily......
Before dawn on the second day, Xiao Zhan got up, Xiao Zhan and Susie had already moved out of the Xiao family's old house, and Mr. Xiao and Guo Haiying were naturally very reluctant.
However, Xiao Yuwei got married, and the Xiao family was also afraid of shocking the two children, so Su Xi and Xiao Zhan took the two children back to the house where they used to live, and when Xiao Yuwei got married, they went back to live.
After Xiao Zhan got up, Susie also opened her eyes, and Xiao Zhan hurriedly whispered, "You can sleep for a while." ”
Susie nodded, lay down and fell asleep again, Xiao Zhan got dressed and went to the Xiao family's old mansion.
At this time, Xiao Zhan's old mansion was already busy, and many neighbors around him came to help.
At this time, the sky was getting warmer, and Xiao Yuwei was wearing a white wedding dress, which was bought by Susie and given to Xiao Yuwei, and Xiao Yuwei liked it very much.
In addition, Susie also asked Xiao Zhan to buy two red cheongsams and gave them to Xiao Yuwei, so that Xiao Yuwei could wear them when she got married.
Not only that, Susie also asked Xiao Zhan to contact someone who could put on makeup, pan his head, and take pictures in advance.
When Xiao Zhan arrived at the Xiao family's old house, Xiao Yuwei was putting on makeup.
Xiao Yuwei's white wedding dress aroused the envy of many young girls, and many of Xiao Yuwei's friends and classmates came, chatting and talking in Xiao Yuwei's room, and bursts of laughter and jokes broke out in the room from time to time.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, Susie came to the Xiao family's old house with two children, Susie came by car, and as soon as the car stopped at the door, Guo Haiying ran out, and she didn't see her two grandchildren for a day, and she panicked.
Guo Haiying hugged her two grandsons, kissed this one and kissed that one, and a flower smiled on her face.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Zhiqing drove a car to pick up people, and the car Zhou Zhiqing drove was a car from the factory, which was specially lent to him for Zhou Zhiqing's marriage today.
After laughter and fighting, Zhou Zhiqing took the bride away.
Before leaving, Xiao Yuwei said goodbye to the Xiao family, Guo Haiying looked at her daughter who was about to get married, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.
Xiao Qi also rarely showed a loving appearance, stepped forward and patted Xiao Yuwei and Zhou Zhiqing on the shoulders, and said with a smile, "Live a good life." ”
The two naturally nodded in unison, and Old Man Xiao also said a few words of encouragement, and let the couple go.
Relatives and friends also followed, after all, they still had to have a banquet.
The place where the banquet was held was in the family courtyard in Zhou Zhiqing's factory, and Zhou Zhiqing wanted to marry Xiao Yuwei, so he applied for a housing field, and really allocated a two-room house to Zhou Zhiqing.
The family courtyard is quite large, Zhou Zhiqing sent someone to invite a master who can cook, bought ingredients, and borrowed tables, chairs and benches, and set up dozens of tables in the courtyard of the family courtyard.
Xiao Zhan drove and took the Xiao family to the family home.
Although Guo Haiying knew that Zhou Zhiqing's family conditions were average, but seeing that the two-room house assigned to Zhou Zhiqing in the factory was only 50 square meters at most, and the house was too small for more people to stand, Guo Haiying still felt a little sorry for his daughter.
Zhou Zhiqing's mother, Sun Xiu'e, saw that the Xiao family was coming, and hurriedly greeted her warmly.
Zhou Zhiqing's four sisters also rushed over from the countryside, and the four sisters had different personalities, and they all dragged their families when they came.
Zhou Zhiqing's four sisters are all quite capable of giving birth, and more than a dozen children are running around in the family courtyard and in their new houses......
Guo Haiying noticed that Zhou Zhiqing and Xiao Yuwei's new house had children's footprints on the big bed, and it seemed that someone slept on the new bed last night.
Guo Haiying sighed, but didn't say anything.
She also understands that Zhang Zhiqing has 4 sisters, and those 4 sisters came to the capital with their husbands and children, and they have no place to live, so they can only live here with Zhou Zhiqing.
It was a leader in their factory who presided over the wedding for Zhou Zhiqing, swore in front of the portrait of Grandpa Mao, thanked his parents, and the banquet was opened, Zhou Zhiqing took Xiao Yuwei, and a couple began to toast......
Susie didn't bring two children when she came, after all, the two children were still young, Old Man Xiao and Sister-in-law Lin were at home, and the two looked at the two children, and Susie was not worried.
At the banquet, although the dishes were meat and vegetarian, there were more vegetarian dishes and less meat dishes, although the Xiao family was psychologically prepared.
But when the relatives of the Xiao family saw this, they inevitably complained a lot, after all, they gave a lot of money.
Zhou Zhiqing's eldest sister, Zhou Yan looked at the pile of money in her hand, and looked at Sun Xiu'e in disbelief, "Mother, the people in the city give too much money, and the younger brother gets married once, and this money is three or four hundred." ”
Sun Xiu'e said, "Your brother-in-law's family conditions are good, and his relatives are all rich, and they give a lot of money, which is not unusual." ”
Zhou Yan said happily, "The younger brother has a good vision, the younger brother-in-law's family is so rich, the younger brother's life in the capital will definitely be better in the future." ”
Sun Xiu'e glared at Zhou Yan dissatisfiedly, "Your brother-in-law's family conditions are indeed good, but your brother's conditions are not bad, your brother is also a college student, and now he is still the leader of the factory, and it is also her blessing to be able to marry your brother." ”
Zhou Yan nodded again and again after hearing this, "Mother is right." ”
