Mid-March.
Teacher Zhou, who was on maternity leave at home, suddenly felt a stomachache in the middle of the night.
So.
Just this night.
Li Mu asked Xiaoxiao, who was at home during the holidays, to take care of the two children, and sent Teacher Zhou to the hospital. When Teacher Zhou entered the delivery room, Li Mu quickly called his parents and notified his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Before the four elderly people arrived at the hospital.
"Zhou Yu"
The nurse came out with the baby in her arms and said, "It's a daughter."
Li Mu was stunned at first, and then overjoyed. Having learned that his wife was carrying a son, Li Mu felt as if he was suddenly overjoyed at this moment.
He quickly took the baby from the nurse.
At this moment, Li Mu didn't care at all about the inaccurate B-ultrasound examination. Obviously, when the predicted result is different from the actual result, once the actual result is what he wants, no one will care about the prediction error.
That’s human nature.
As for Li Mu, who already has a son, what he wants is of course a daughter. Although Si Ning is also his daughter, in today's society, no one thinks there are too many daughters, or too many sons.
It's just that his surprise has just emerged and has not yet taken shape.
The little nurse quickly apologized and said, "Sorry, I made a mistake. It's a boy. Congratulations."
"..."
Li Mu was speechless for a while.
The surprised expression suddenly calmed down and was replaced by the indifferent expression that usually occurs when working.
He lowered his head and looked at his youngest son.
Just one glance.
Li Mu sighed inexplicably.
If everyone could still have illusions before giving birth, now that the child is born, the illusions are finally shattered.
Under the instructions of the nurse, Li Mu carried her little son to the medical room next to the delivery room to weigh the child. After doing all this, Li Mu saw Teacher Zhou walking out of the delivery room after giving birth to her son.
"Li Mu"
Looking at her husband.
Teacher Zhou was obviously in a bad mood and said, "My son is so ugly!"
"Quite energetic"
What else could Li Mu say!?
He had already anticipated this situation.
Ugliness is what it should be.
Not being ugly is a surprise.
Obviously.
His youngest son's appearance and skin color were not unexpected. They were similar to his uncle Yi Heng. Although he was not ugly to the point of being invisible, he was already ugly to the lower middle level.
Wrinkled little face.
The eyes are still a little bulging.
When I cry, my mouth is almost cracked to the base of my ears.
In short, you can be as ugly as you want.
But no matter how ugly he is, he is still his and Teacher Zhou’s son, so Li Mu should feel pain as much as he wants.
Li Mu was quite surprised when he saw his wife walking out of the delivery room after giving birth. It didn't take more than half an hour from the time she entered the delivery room. No wonder the old man said, "If a child is born naturally, as long as the second child is of normal size, it will be like a chicken laying an egg."
"Just as fast" is a bit unpleasant to say.
But in a sense, it is true.
Especially when he returned to the ward, Teacher Zhou had no taboos and asked Li Mu to warm a bag of milk with boiling water and drink it directly.
"Son, why do you look like this!?"
Teacher Zhou looked down at his son in his arms and said with a sad look on his face.
Li Mu mixed some warm water with the bottle he prepared and fed it to his youngest son.
As for why this was necessary, Li Mu didn't quite understand. Anyway, this was what his son did when he was born. Because Mr. Zhou's parents were relatively close, the old couple rushed over first. Also coming with them was Zhou Yiheng. Seeing himself
Zhang Lan was relieved that her daughter was born smoothly.
Then he looked at his girlfriend’s son.
"He looks as ugly as your brother when he was a child"
My biological mother has no scruples, Zhang Lan said directly.
Standing by the bed and looking at his nephew, Zhou Yiheng twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Little brother"
Teacher Zhou shouted.
"What!?"
Zhou Yiheng said doubtfully.
"If I had known better, I should have let you go to South Korea for plastic surgery"
Teacher Zhou said.
"It's useless. You can change your appearance, but you can't change your genes. My nephew looks like my uncle, so my son can be as ugly as he wants."
Zhou Yi Heng spread his hands and replied, "You should be grateful that your brother looks normal and didn't grow into a crooked melon and a cracked jujube."
"What's the difference between you and Wai Gua Spia Zao!?"
Teacher Zhou asked rhetorically.
"As long as you are happy"
His sister had just given birth to a baby, and Zhou Yiheng didn't bother to argue with her about it. Anyway, it was normal for him to be ugly, and it didn't happen every day or two for him to be criticized by his eldest sister. He was already used to it now.
In fact, Zhou Yiheng doesn’t quite understand it either.
They say that a nephew looks like an uncle, but his son looks nothing like his uncle, but looks almost like his father.
But his nephew actually looks like his uncle again.
Are the genes of ugly people that powerful?
When Li Mu's parents came over, the old couple took a look at their little grandson. They did not dislike the child's ugly appearance like the others. The smiles on the old couple's lips had not stopped since they entered the ward. Early the next morning,
Xiaoxiao brought Ranran and Si Ning to the hospital. The brother and sister lay beside the bed, looking at their little brother lying in Teacher Zhou's arms in surprise.
"Let me hug you"
With Xu Mei's help, Ran Ran carefully picked up her brother.
Ran Ran hugged me.
Naturally, Si Ning also wanted to hug her, and Xiaoxiao just hugged her and started teasing her.
"Ugly duckling, when will you grow up into a beautiful swan!?"
Xiaoxiao murmured to himself while shaking the child in his arms.
Hearing this, Teacher Zhou pursed her lips and looked a little unhappy, but she didn't argue with Xiaoxiao because it was a fact that her son was not good-looking.
Because it was a natural delivery, and Ms. Zhou was not an advanced maternal age, she recovered quickly and was discharged after four or five days in the hospital.
The natural next step is confinement.
This was taken care of by Li Mu's mother, Xu Mei. Perhaps she felt sorry for her son who was working during the day. Xu Mei asked Li Mu to go to another room to have a good rest at night, while she stayed in the bedroom to take care of her newborn grandson.
The first month after the baby is born.
Taking care of her is really tiring, and she has to change diapers several times a night.
In fact, given Li Mu's family conditions, he could easily change to diapers, but both Teacher Zhou and Xu Mei said that diapers are not breathable and they must be changed to diapers.
Since my wife and mother both said so.
Li Mu just followed their wishes.
After a month of care, Li Mu’s little son opened up a little. Although it still doesn’t look good, it’s much better than when he was just taken out of the delivery room.
"I'll take care of you tonight"
After the little one had eaten, Xiaoxiao, who had taken a bath, quickly carried Li Xiaoze and walked to the second bedroom.
"Li Mu"
Teacher Zhou, who was lying on the bed, put his arm against Li Mu, who was reading, and asked tentatively, "How about we have another baby!?"
"Not born"
Li Mu refused directly and said, "There are already three children in the family. After all, I can't retire until I'm eighty years old."
"It won't take so long, the house is already there..."
Teacher Zhou wanted to say something else, but Li Mu really didn't want to have children. He said, "Ranran and Xiao Ze will get married and have children in the future. They will have at least one child in the family. Then we will have to take care of two. If there are two in the family, we will have to take four."
So, Mr. Zhou, let’s just forget it. You have already helped Lao Li’s family spread its branches and leaves, so there is no need for flowers and flowers.”
"Get out"
Teacher Zhou laughed and cursed.
Then he put his head on Li Mu's chest and whispered, "It's fun to have more children, not to mention that our family can't afford them."
"Forget it!"
Li Mu advised, "Having more children is not necessarily a good thing, especially sons. If you don't want to have to move once a month when you get old, don't have so many."
"Your mentality is too dark, how can there be so many unfilial children"
Teacher Zhou retorted.
"Haha"
Li Mu responded with two perfunctory laughs.
Whether one is filial or not is often not decided by the son. Many elderly people who have given birth to several sons do not live a satisfactory life in their old age, especially after their wives leave.
One month for a family.
Seems fair.
But it is often the elderly who suffer in the end.
Grandpa Li Mu has done a good job in this regard. The old couple has always lived in the younger son's house, even if the eldest son said it would break the sky. Moreover, Li Mu's parents had negotiated with Uncle Li Mu many years ago, and the old couple lived in Li Mu's house.
Help them take care of their home, and a series of expenses such as illness and hospitalization in the future will be fully borne by Li Mu's family. As for hospital care, they will also be provided by here.
They just have to come back and see.
The main reason is that the old couple lives in Shunxin, their hometown.
This.
It can be seen from the fact that the old couple have no illness or disaster at such an old age.
After a lifetime of digging the land, once there is no opportunity to dig the soil to grow vegetables and sit with neighbors to chat, the elderly will become sick even if they are not sick.
Days like this.
Li Mu is also envious. His only regret is that when he and Teacher Zhou grow old, such opportunities will fade away with their memories.
Their generation is not qualified to have it.
