On the third day of the first lunar month, the Zheng family hosted a banquet for relatives and friends as usual.
This year the treat day is a little earlier than in previous years.
Xu Chunjun and Zheng Wuji discussed it and felt that it would be more appropriate to arrive earlier.
She was about to give birth, so she tried her best to invite guests before giving birth, which was considered to be the end of the matter.
Zheng Wuji was afraid that she would be tired and would not let Xu Chunjun intervene no matter what.
I asked Ziling and Lvchun to organize the feast. The banquet was more sumptuous than in previous years, and two operas were invited, one in the front and one in the back.
After entertaining all the guests in a lively manner, on the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Chunjun fell asleep a little uneasily.
Zheng Wuji helped her turn around twice and asked again: "Is there any movement?"
"My stomach doesn't hurt at all," Xu Chunjun said, "I just feel upset inside."
"Even if it is, it will be soon." Zheng Wuji has become a father for the third time. Naturally, he has some experience. He tried to comfort Xu Chunjun and said, "You should try your best to sleep and recuperate. If your stomach really hurts, don't scream again."
Wen Po, come here, she lives in Houtiao Street anyway."
Xu Chunjun didn't want to bother anyone in the middle of the night, so he said: "You help me up, I'll relieve myself, and I can sleep well when I come back."
Zheng Wuji helped her get off the ground. Xu Chunjun finished untying her hands and got on the bed again.
Zheng Wuji folded an extra quilt into strips and let her ride on it, so that she could feel better.
Xu Chunjun slept for about two hours and had a dream.
I dreamed that I was lying on the bed and there was no one in the room.
Suddenly there was a loud noise and a monster burst in from nowhere.
The thing was bigger than a sheep and smaller than an ox. It had an ox's head but antlers on its head.
Suddenly, it hit him in the stomach.
Xu Chunjun groaned in his dream and opened his eyes suddenly.
Zheng Wuji woke up immediately when he heard her shouting. He didn't dare to sleep too hard in the first place.
"What's wrong?!" Zheng Wuji turned on the bedside lamp and asked Xu Chunjun.
"It's nothing, I just had a dream." Xu Chunjun calmed down and said.
"Are you scared? I'll pour you a cup of warm water." Zheng Wuji patted her, went down to the ground and poured a cup of warm water from the tea stove and brought it over.
Xu Chunjun took a sip and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Yinshi," Zheng Wuji said, "it's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
Xu Chunjun handed the cup over and felt a surge of heat gushing out from under his body.
"My amniotic water seems to have broken. Please quickly call for the midwife." Xu Chunjun said and slowly lay down.
Zheng Wuji hurriedly took a pillow and put it under her body.
If your amniotic water breaks, avoid standing or sitting as much as possible. If you want to lie flat, you should also pad your lower body to prevent more amniotic fluid from flowing out.
There were people going out for the night outside. Zheng Wuji called out and asked someone to invite the midwife to come over.
When Ziling, Lvchun and others heard the noise, they all rushed over immediately.
After a while, the midwife arrived, looked at it and said, "Hurry and prepare hot water. Put the scissors and cloth in the boiling water and boil them."
Zheng Wuji was driven outside. The little maid served him a pot of tea, but he had no intention of drinking it.
Compared with the time when Fangfei was born, the couple were much more calm and relaxed, but Zheng Wuji still couldn't help but worry.
This is Xu Chunjun’s third child, and the baby’s fetal position was very positive, so the birth was smooth.
As soon as I brought two basins of hot water in, I heard the midwife say: "Okay, okay, the head has come out. Madam, please try harder."
Then came the loud cry of a baby.
Ziling and Lvchun were always watching beside him, and the two of them recited the Buddha's name together.
"Congratulations! It's a big fat boy!" The midwife smiled and washed the baby, cut the umbilical cord and wrapped it, and said congratulations continuously.
"Grandma, hurry up and weigh our little Marquis." Zi Ling said while holding the child.
"Your Majesty." The midwife agreed and took out a scale specially designed for weighing babies.
"Hey, you are a fat little boy weighing eight pounds! This child is lucky at first sight." The midwife showed Ziling and Lvchun the crosshairs on the scale beam.
, enough for eight pounds.”
Zheng Wuji's heart finally dropped. The joy of having a son was not as happy as Xu Chunjun's safety.
Inside, the midwife was packing her things, and Lvxu hurriedly came out. First, she congratulated Zheng Wuji, and then went to prepare a red envelope for the midwife.
Soon, the house was also tidy.
There are spices in the smoker, so there is no smell in the room.
The midwife received the reward and left happily.
Zheng Wuji walked in and saw Xu Chunjun lying there with a pale face.
"Chunjun, I have made you suffer." Zheng Wuji stepped forward and held Xu Chunjun's hand distressedly.
"Fortunately, I didn't suffer much." Xu Chunjun smiled.
Although it doesn’t involve much effort, it consumes a lot of energy.
"The porridge is being cooked in the kitchen, it will be ready in a moment." Zheng Wuji said, "If you are tired, just take a nap first."
"Don't you look at your son?" Xu Chunjun looked at the little baby next to him.
There was a little baby wrapped in the tiny red silk quilt.
The skin is red and the eyes are closed.
However, it can still be seen that his forehead is full and his eyebrows are clear.
The ears are large, the earlobes are thick, and the bridge of the nose is high.
He is a strong and good-looking child.
"Smelly boy!" Although Zheng Wuji said that, he still picked up his son, "You know what's going on and didn't bother your mother."
The child seemed a little dissatisfied, frowned and murmured twice.
Zheng Wuji put his hand to his face. The child closed his eyes and opened his mouth to eat.
Apparently he's hungry.
Fortunately, the nanny I had found earlier came over after a while.
The wet nurse took it and carried it behind the screen to feed the baby. The child was like a little tiger, catching the baby and eating it endlessly.
I ate until I was sweating all over my head, and then I fell asleep.
At this time, it was dawn, and Mrs. Fang heard that Xu Chunjun had given birth, and hurried over.
Naturally, the old lady liked boys more, so she hugged him immediately and never let go.
"Mr. Chun, you are tired. You are really a great contributor to our family! Now that the Zheng family's incense has continued, there is nothing I can't let go of." Mrs. Fang was so happy that she couldn't help but smile.
Then he told the maid who was following him: "I won't go to anyone's house to invite me these days. I just say that I have to stay at home to coax my grandson!"
Then go and tell our aunt-in-law and my in-laws.
It’s such a big happy event, so everyone needs to know about it.”
"Madam, please give me a nickname for this child." Xu Chunjun said to her mother-in-law with a smile.
"If a boy is timid, it's better to give him a poorer and uglier nickname. This year is the Year of the Ox, so let's call him San Niu." Fang chose this name for her grandson based on the principle of "a cheap name makes a living".
"Let his grandpa give him his first name." Zheng Wuji said, "I'm not good at naming boys."
The name Sanniu was given by Xu Ji and Lord Lu after discussion.
Because the fifth day of the lunar month is the beginning of spring, and the child was born in the year of the Ox, he was given the word "Yun Bing".
It means hard work to break the ice, prosperity and peace.
At this point, Xu Chunjun and his wife can be regarded as having two children. This chapter has been completed!
