Chapter 43: Youqing is born
It's winter moon in the blink of an eye.
A cold wave from the north swept the south, and Yunxi County was also affected, first it rained for two days in a row, and then there was a biting cold wind, and the cold was pressing.
But despite this, the mountains and forests are still green, unlike in the north, and in winter they become bare, and the leaves will turn yellow.
Chen's house.
In a room in the east wing, Jiazhen lay on the bed, closed her eyes in pain, gritted her teeth and exerted her best strength.
The three midwives were busy in the house, hot water was brought in from outside, and the brazier was blazing in the house.
In the courtyard outside the house, Chen Liping hugged Feng Xia and paced back and forth anxiously, and Chen Jiaming's head was dizzy.
"Dad, why are you in a hurry, it's not the first time my sister has given birth." Chen Jiaming couldn't help but say.
Chen Liping glared at him, "Something without conscience, can you be careless about giving birth to a child?" ”
"But there are three ...... in it" Looking at his father's unkind eyes, Chen Jiaming closed his mouth.
"Grandpa, are you cold?" Feng Xia touched his face intimately.
Chen Liping shook his head gently, "Grandpa is not cold, Fengxia, are you cold, do you want to go to the house to roast the fire?" ”
Feng Xia shook her head, "No, I have to wait for my mother to come out." ”
"Okay, let's wait together, grandpa asked someone to bring you snacks to eat."
He not only asked his subordinates to bring snacks, but also instructed his subordinates to bring a few Taishi chairs and burn a brazier around them to ward off the cold air.
Chen Liping waited outside for several hours, and finally, a loud baby cry came out of the house, and he immediately sat up and looked at the wooden door of the house with anticipation.
"Master, it's born, it's born, it's a young master, and it's crying loudly." A matchmaker came out of the house and said loudly.
"Is Jiazhen okay?" Chen Liping took two steps forward and asked.
The matchmaker shook her head, "Miss's body is fine, and there is nothing wrong with giving birth." ”
Chen Liping grinned happily at this time, and his right hand clenched his fist and hammered the palm of his left hand, "That's good, that's good, hahahaha, today is a big joy for my Chen family, everyone in the house, each person will be rewarded with a silver horn and ten catties of rice!" ”
"Thank you, sir!"
When the people around heard this, they couldn't stop the joy on their faces, and said respectfully.
"Where's the kid?" Chen Liping looked into the room.
"Wipe him and wrap him." The matchmaker said.
Chen Liping nodded, "Yes, it's cold this day, but it can't freeze my eldest grandson, ask them to burn the brazier a little bigger." ”
The mother and son were safe, and after the Taishi chair and brazier in the yard were removed, the matchmaker also walked out with swaddling clothes.
"Ouch, go inside quickly, it's windy in the yard, just hold it yourself." Chen Liping didn't dare to take it, he wouldn't hold the child, for fear of hurting the child.
When she came to another room, where there was also a brazier, Feng Xia took a look at it and chuckled: "Grandpa, my brother is so ugly, black, and wrinkled, and he can't open his eyes." ”
Chen Liping laughed, "It'll look good in a few months, any child from any family is ugly when they are born." ”
"Master, I haven't chosen a name yet." The matchmaker said.
Chen Liping groaned and waved his hand, "When Jiazhen wakes up later, let Jiazhen take it herself." ”
When Jiazhen woke up, it was already night, the light of the kerosene lamp illuminated the house, the brazier was blazing in front of the bed, and the two subordinates were guarding in front of the bed all the time.
"Miss, you're awake, what do you want to eat?"
"Just drink porridge, what about the child?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a quiet baby sleeping next to him, with a long wrinkled eyebrow, and his eyebrows were very similar to someone, as if carved out of a mold.
Jiazhen smiled immediately, with love on her tired face, looking at this little guy who had tormented her for ten months, and felt that she couldn't get enough of it.
"Jiazhen, you're awake." Chen Liping came in with Feng Xia in his arms, and the people next to him were carrying porridge with green vegetables and lean meat, and there were chopped white eggs in the porridge.
Jiazhen half lay on the bed and took the hot porridge, "Dad, you haven't slept yet?" ”
Chen Liping shook his head, "I can't sleep, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, it's not the first time I've had a baby."
Chen Liping looked at the newborn baby with a smile, "Jiazhen, marry a name, it's a boy." ”
"Don't gamble, I've heard my mother say before, it's called no gambling." Feng Xia said loudly.
When Chen Liping heard this, he immediately laughed, "This name is good, it's not good to gamble, a gambling word kills people." ”
Jiazhen also smiled, Feng Xia's memory was quite good, she just made a joke casually at first, but she listened to it without thinking about it.
"Dad, you can give it a name, I don't know what to call it." Jiazhen actually thought of many names, both boys and girls, but she couldn't make a decision.
Chen Liping didn't refuse, he had thought about it before, and said directly at this time: "I think if it's called Youqing, we won't think he has much ability in the future, just be happy and happy every day." ”
"There is a celebration, there is a celebration." Jia Zhen muttered two sentences, and felt particularly smooth, so he nodded immediately, "Okay, it's called Youqing, Xu Youqing!" ”
The smile on Chen Liping's face suddenly froze, disappeared in the next second, and said expressionlessly: "Xu Youqing? Last name Xu? ”
"Of course, my brother's surname is Xu, and Fengxia is also surnamed Xu." Feng Xia said as a matter of course.
Chen Liping didn't speak, staring directly at Jiazhen.
Jiazhen pursed her lips and smiled, as gentle as ever, and whispered: "Dad, of course Youqing's surname is Xu, and our family still has Jiaming, he will definitely pass on the lineage in the future." ”
Chen Liping's eyes were a little silent, and he waved his hand, "Forget it, let it be you, you will always be so strong, and the nine cows will not be able to pull it back." ”
"Dad, no matter what, Youqing and Fengxia both have a part of my Chen family's bloodline."
Chen Liping sighed, "I still plan not to let you go back to Xu's house, and it seems that I can't stop you." ”
Jiazhen didn't speak, and she was also embarrassed.
Chen Liping glanced at her, "Even if you want to leave, at least wait for Youqing to be older, people from the Xu family, I don't worry, I don't want to wronged Fengxia and Youqing." ”
Jiazhen smiled and said playfully: "Dad, even if you let me go now, I won't leave." ”
"You kid, your father won't drive you away for the rest of your life, and your father can't wait for you to leave for the rest of your life, when your mother left, you were the most worried."
Chen's mother passed away a few years ago, and shortly after Jiazhen got married, both of them were a little sad when it came to this topic.
"Okay, you have a good rest after eating, Fengxia, you have to sleep obediently and take care of your mother."
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm sure I can take care of my mother."
Chen Liping pinched her little face, walked out of the house with his hands, and returned to the house, but he couldn't sleep for a long time, and he missed Chen's mother a little in his heart.
Jiazhen drank the porridge, wiped her mouth, and looked at the baby beside her with a smile, "Fugui, you guessed it, it's really a boy, Youqing, I don't know if you like this name or not......"
