Chapter 174: The melon is ripe
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the child in Shen Luzhu's belly was finally born in everyone's expectation!
Early in the morning, Shen Luzhu, as usual, got up and had breakfast, and then Chu Yi helped her on the ground in the house, taking a slow walk to eat, this is the method that Shen's mother told her, not only to help Shen Luzhu to eat, but more importantly, to find a way for her to move appropriately, which is conducive to production.
The little couple was walking with a smile and a smile, but Shen Luzhu suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his lower abdomen, subconsciously bowed slightly, and gently held his stomach with his hand, Chu Yi leaned over and said with concern, "What's the matter, the child kicked you again?" Would you like to sit down and rest?"
After the throbbing pain passed, Shen Luzhu slowly straightened up and said, "Chu Yi, my stomach hurts, maybe I'm going to give birth!"
Hearing this, Chu Yi carefully helped the person to sit on the side of the kang: "I'll call A-Niang, wait for me!"
Seeing that Chu Yimeng seemed to be a little panicked, Shen Luzhu hurriedly reassured, "Don't worry, I don't feel anything now."
"Okay, don't worry, you wait for me here."
Soon Shen's mother entered the house, inquired carefully, touched her daughter's belly, and instructed Chu Yi: "It is estimated that it is just the beginning, it will take some time to start, there is me here in Luzhu, Ayi, you can find someone to deliver a letter across the river!"
Chu Yi found Chu Ping to go to Shen's house to report the news, and he stayed with his wife after returning to the house, Shen Luzhu also had irregular throbbing pain from the beginning, little by little into labor pain, until she was sweating profusely and her stomach hurt for a while, and Shen's mother was ready to kick her son-in-law out of the house.
"Ayi, Luzhu is about to give birth now, you have to go out."
Chu Yi looked at his wife who was lying on the kang with unbearable pain with some embarrassment: "Ah Niang, why don't I still accompany Ah Zhu here!"
"Nonsense, what can you do if you are a big man who is born here, or get out quickly!"
Qian, who had been helping in the house, also said, "Ayi, don't worry, your mother-in-law is a well-known midwife in their village, and the grandfather of the Shen family is also in the hall, so there can't be anything!"
Shen Luzhu was a little entangled, saying that it was fake not to be afraid, she wanted Chu Yi to stay with her at this time, but she was worried that the picture of waiting for the blood to be spattered on the spot was really not beautiful, coupled with the fact that Chu's mother gave birth to Chu Li's dystocia, it seemed that Chu Yi intensified his fear of giving birth to a woman, and he didn't want him to stay here to increase his worry and fear, so he persuaded: "Chu Yi, you just listen to A-Niang and Aunt Tang."
Chu Yi rarely listened to Shen Luzhu's words this time, he was really afraid, all kinds of things kept circling in his mind when A-Niang passed away, and he couldn't wait for his eyes to grow on his wife, and he was not idle for a moment, for fear that something would go wrong if he was a little negligent: "A-Niang, I beg you! Don't be afraid, I'm here with you!"
Shen Luzhu looked at the red eyes in front of him, and held his husband tightly with both hands, for a long time: "Auntie, auntie, let Chu Yi be here!"
Shen's mother and Qian's family looked at the inseparable little couple, sighed, and could only let them mess around, fortunately, it was Shen's mother who delivered the baby, unlike other people's midwives who were invited to give birth at home, otherwise Shen Luzhu would not have been able to give birth for an hour today, and I am afraid that the entire mountain village would know about it.
How can the Shen and Chu families still sit in the hall with peace of mind at this moment, Gu is constantly pacing in the courtyard, and from time to time they have to look into the house, stopping the Qian family and Shen Eraunt, who have been going in and out, and asking about the situation inside, Shen Luzhu's painful cry continued to come out of the house, mixed with Chu Yi's comfort voice and Shen's mother's calm commanding voice, and in this way, more than half an hour passed, and when it was close to noon, a loud baby cry suddenly came out of the house.
Everyone hurriedly came to the door, and then the door creaked, and Aunt Shen took the lead in bringing a basin of blood water out of the house, with a smile on her face: "Born, born! It's a big fat boy, and my sister-in-law is cleaning up the aftermath inside, so I'll be able to go in and see Luzhu and the child later!"
Chu Yi picked up Shen Luzhu, transferred her to the clean futon on the other side, and carefully took care of his wife, who had fallen asleep, his vision became more and more blurred, until a few bean-sized tears fell on her face, and the person in front of him became clear again.
Mother Shen wrapped her newborn grandson and handed it to her son-in-law, who had been staring at her daughter, and said with relief: "Luzhu is fine, but she is too tired to fall asleep, let her rest for a while, hug your son, I'll call someone outside the house to come in and take a look."
Chu Yi held the crumpled meat ball, standing a little stiffly in place, his eyes wandering between his sleeping wife and the baby in his arms on the kang, this is his and Azhu's child!
Shen Luzhu was woken up by hunger, as if he hadn't eaten for a few days and nights, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Yi sitting on a chair by the kang staring at him.
"Ah Zhu woke up, hungry or not, Ah Niang cooked chicken soup and was simmering on the stove, or do you want to drink some warm water first?"
"Chu Yi, I'm a little hungry......" As soon as Shen Lu Zhufang spoke, he was shocked that his voice was so dry that he drank a large bowl of warm water from Chu Yi's hand, and then he felt better: "What about the child?"
Chu Yi got up and hugged his son, who was placed on the wooden shaker on the other side, to his wife's side: "I'll go and bring you some food."
Shen Luzhu looked at the soft and small lump lying beside him, and reached out and carefully touched his pink cheeks: "Little guy, I am your aunt, please take care of me in the future."
Eat and drink enough, the little couple began the daily life of the novice father and mother with the baby, and this top priority is to name the newborn little one, because the gender of the child has not been determined before, so the name of the matter has also been shelved, now it's time to think about this problem.
"Chu Yi, it's better to be called Zhengzheng (four tones) by a nickname, what do you think?"
"Righteousness?" Chu Yi read it in his mouth a few times, and felt that it was quite smooth, so he nodded and asked, "Is it to commemorate the birth of this little guy in the first month?"
is worthy of her father-in-law, she really has a heart, Shen Luzhu responded with a smile, "Hmm! In addition, it is also a little expectation of his aunt and me, hoping that he will be upright in the future, whether it is his appearance or personality."
Chu Yi gently stroked the broken hair on his wife's forehead: "Okay, what about the big name, does Ah Zhu want to call it?"
Shen Luzhu was stunned for a moment, the child's name is usually taken by the elders of the family, and now that they have broken off the relationship with Grandpa Chu, they should naturally ask Third Uncle Chu to help take it: "Don't you have to ask Third Uncle?"
"I asked, and the third uncle said that our family doesn't need to follow those useless rules, just take one that we like and loud!"
"Then you have to think about it, it's best if the younger brothers and sisters can follow the name together, so that the family can think about intimacy when they are called. Just like my brother's name, Sichuan cypress and pine knot are all Chinese medicine names, and they all have the meaning of trees in them."
Chu Yi looked at his wife, who was counting all the names of his brothers in the family with his fingers, took a deep breath, and then interrupted, "Ah Zhu, let's just have this one child, okay?"
Because of the era and environment in which he lived, all the families around him were children, Shen Luzhu had never considered this problem, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while: "Chu Yi ......"
"Pregnancy and childbirth are too dangerous, and I still want to live with Ah Zhu for a long time, so it's okay for us not to give birth, it's enough to have righteousness."
Shen Luzhu put his face on Chu Yi's palm, and said with a smile: "Okay, so am I, it's enough to have you and Zhengzheng!"
The big stone that had been pressed on Chu Yi's heart since the end of his wife's birth was finally put down the moment he saw her nodding in agreement, so the little couple talked about the question of righteousness and name again: "Ah Zhu Ke has any favorite name, or character?"
Shen Luzhu pondered for a long time and didn't have a clue: "I don't have any ideas, I took the nickname, and the big name should be handed over to you, who is a father."
Chu Yi nodded, and did not shirk: "Just now when you were asleep, I did think of one, how about calling Chu Tan?"
"Chu Shen?" Shen Luzhu's eyes widened, and she said in her heart that although Chu Yi added her surname to her son's name, she should be moved, but is he a little too perfunctory to be a father.
Chu Yi knew that she was wrong when he saw his wife's expression, and explained softly: "It's the knowledge of the confession, of course, it is also because of the same surname as Ah Zhu
sound, I just thought of it."
"Chu Chen." The word has the meaning of missing, and at the same time has the meaning of admonition and familiarity, and it is quite catchy to read, and the most important thing is that this is Chu Yi's deep affection for himself, Shen Luzhu has nothing to disagree with: "Just listen to you."
Chu Tan's children's names were so determined, when the Chu and Shen families heard this name, their expressions were also quite exciting, the elders didn't expect this pair of novice parents to be so unreliable, how could they directly take the surnames of the two as names!
Chu Ping was even more exaggerated, and directly squirted out the tea that he hadn't had time to swallow in his mouth: "Cousin! Isn't your name a perfunctory?"
Shen Songjie smiled and patted his brother-in-law's shoulder and said, "We know your intentions, Lu Zhu really picked a good son-in-law!" However, if your eldest son is called Chu Shen, what should you call if you have the second and third son? Chu Lu? Chu Zhu?"
If Shen Luzhu was present, he would definitely raise his chin at Chu Yi and say to him, "Look, I'm not the only one who thinks wrong." Then knock on her second brother's head to see what was inside, how could she come up with a name like "Chu Lu, Chu Zhu"!
Shen's mother patted her second son: "Nonsense! Ayi, Ah......"
"Ah Niang, second brother, you misunderstood, it's a confession. What's more, Ah Zhu and I have already discussed, and only this one child is enough in this life."
Shen's father didn't expect to say his grandson's name, but his son-in-law directly threw such a big news: "This!"
Third Uncle Chu really didn't expect that his nephew would have such thoughts: "Ayi, why is this?"
"Grandpa, Daddy, Auntie and Third Uncle, in such a dangerous situation today, I don't want to see Ah Zhu a second time in this life, I am already very satisfied to be upright."
Chu Yi's words made Fang Cai's happy atmosphere fall silent instantly, and it took a long time for Third Uncle Chu to completely digest this information, and then smiled and comforted his nephew: "It's okay, our family has our own life behind closed doors, you and Lu Zhu have thought about it yourself, don't we still have Chu Li, one or two less, it's nothing!"
Grandpa Shen got up and patted Chu Yi on the shoulder: "Good boy, Songjie is right, Lu Zhu picked a good son-in-law and a good mother-in-law!"
