Man Bao opened the child's mouth, and after making sure there was no dirt inside, he carefully held the child's head and put him into the water.
The first time he came into contact with water, he kicked his calf subconsciously, closed his eyes tightly, and clenched his small fist twice.
Man Bao simply washed him, and immediately someone spread out the swaddle, and together with her, he dried the child with a soft cloth towel and wrapped it up.
Man Bao just wrapped it up and remembered that he hadn't cried yet, so he picked him up again and patted his buttocks.
The child obviously didn't expect to be beaten, and suddenly felt pain, so he couldn't help but opened his mouth and cried twice.
Man Bao was satisfied when he heard the crying, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes.
Wenpo and Xiaoqian also helped Zhou Lijun clean up. Manbao went up to look at her, and saw that she was in good condition, so he showed her the child, "Look, it's a boy."
Zhou Lijun turned his head to look at him, and couldn't help but smile, "It's really ugly, just like Liutou and the others when they were young."
Xiaoqian said: "Children are always like this when they are young. Don't worry, they will grow up in a short time."
She smiled and said: "Our children are not bad. You are good, and the second son-in-law is also good, let alone not bad."
Man Bao said: "This is all thanks to my father."
Xiaoqian pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's not, it should be the work of grandma Taizu."
Man Bao stared at the stars, and couldn't figure out who it was for a while
Zhou Lijun was very curious and asked, "Is grandma Taizu good-looking?"
"It's so beautiful. I heard from people of the older generation that the most beautiful person in our ten miles and eight townships at that time was Grandma Taizu's."
Man Bao: "Our family is so poor, how did we marry Grandma Taizu?"
"At that time, the war was very chaotic. Your great-grandmother's family suffered a war disaster, and she followed others to Baimaguan Town. Your great-great-grandmother bought her back with half a bag of wheat to be her daughter-in-law." Little Qian said in a low voice: "I gave birth to your grandfather, she was very pretty, and after I married your grandma, she was also very pretty."
Man Bao: "What about my grandma? You won't marry my grandpa just because he looks good, right?"
"No," Xiaoqian said vaguely with a face full of indescribable words: "They are perfectly matched."
As a junior, it's not easy to speak ill of the elders, but the relationship between the Qian family and the previous generation of the Zhou family is not very good, because the Qian family really suffered a lot after marrying into the Zhou family.
When Xiaoqian was young, and when she returned to her natal family after getting married, her mother often talked to her about the older generation.
To put it bluntly, the Zhou family's laziness is in the same line. When it comes to hard work, there are seven children in this generation, eight including Man Bao.
Only Zhou Dalang, Zhou Zhoulang, Liu Liulang, and Man Bao are as hardworking as Qian Shi, and the rest have inertia that cannot be washed away.
Because Grandpa Zhou was lazy, and Grandma Zhou was even lazy than Grandpa Zhou. The reason why the Zhang family chose the Zhou family was because the Zhou family was not bad at the time, and the second was because the daughter was too lazy. Well, there are no other advantages.
Coincidentally, they met with Grandpa Zhou again, so the Zhang family sent someone to deliver a message to Zhou's house.
Back then, Grandpa Zhou was even more lazy than Zhou Zhoulang. Although he was really good-looking, it was hard to talk about marriage.
In fact, it's hard for Zhou Jin to talk about marriage. If it's not for Qian's face, who wants to marry such a lazy person.
Xiaoqian remembered how her uncle was beaten by her father when she was a child, she couldn't help laughing, bowed her head and said to Zhou Lijun who was lying down: "Now life is better, even if there are lazy people in the family, they don't have to be forced to work hard. stand up."
Why did Zhou Jin become better later, and he grasped all the work in the family field, was it not forced by life
Can live lazily all the time, who is willing to go against nature and work hard
Man Bao obviously doesn't have a deep understanding of this point, and is still thinking about how good-looking her great-grandmother was to make her descendants look so good-looking all the time.
Man Bao reached out and touched his little face.
People outside the house had been waiting. Xiang Mingxue had heard the cry of the child a long time ago, but there was no movement inside for a long time, only the sound of talking.
He lay on the window and didn't hear what they were saying, and he didn't dare to ask or call, for fear of shocking the people inside.
But there has been no movement for so long...
Xiang Mingxue couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little anxious.
Bai Shan pricked up his ears and listened, thoughtful, he pondered for a moment, and couldn't help shouting inside: "Man Bao, are mother and child safe?"
Only then did the three of them come together to talk about their ancestors, "Oh, I forgot to announce the good news to them."
Only then did Mrs. Wen wait for the dirty quilt to be taken out, wash her hands, and when she came over and saw that they hadn't taken the baby out yet, she immediately became excited, trotted forward and said, "I'll hug, I'll hug..."
Wen Po happily carried the children out, only gave them a glance at the door, and then received a red envelope.
She touched it quietly, and it was quite thick.
Man Bao and Xiang Mingxue said, "Mother and child are safe."
Xiang Mingxue breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood on tiptoe to take a look at the baby in the swaddle.
It was red and wrinkled, and looked ugly, but Xiang Mingxue's heart softened like water, and he looked at him with red eyes, unable to speak for a while.
The good news spread from the backyard to the front yard. When Xiang Chao and the others heard that the young master had a son, they slapped their thighs happily and burst into laughter.
After laughing, I couldn't help crying. There are only a few people left in their Xiang family. The young master is the only direct descendant. The next generation is finally born. Isn't their Xiang family thick
Xiang Chao hugged his head and cried bitterly, then wiped away the tears and decided to go out to buy meat, and had to ask the kitchen to add vegetables later.
After Mrs. Liu and the others congratulated Xiang Mingxue, they left one after another, leaving space and time to the husband and wife.
Xiang Mingxue changed his clothes and went in. He sat beside Zhou Lijun with the child in his arms, and whispered to her, "I have chosen twelve names for the child, both boys and girls. You can choose one later."
Zhou Lijun said: "Didn't you choose it before?"
"I don't think it's good enough, so I added a few more, and we'll pick again..."
Man Bao and Bai Shan went back holding hands, the sun had already set and the sky was getting dark, the two looked at each other, Bai Shan said: "Let's come out to enjoy the moon at night."
There is no chance of watching the moon tomorrow night.
Man Bao nodded.
And they didn't have the chance to enjoy the moon tonight, maybe it was stimulated by Zhou Lijun's delivery today, or maybe it was because their days were approaching, so Liu Sanniang also mobilized them at night.
Man Bao was taken aback, and asked someone to pull back Wen Po, who had just left for a short time, and then delivered Liu Sanniang with her.
Liu Sanniang's first child was the reincarnation they were accustomed to. After suffering for half the night, she finally gave birth to a little girl in the early morning hours.
Xiaoqian hugged her granddaughter, feeling extremely happy, "Finally they have a girl in their generation."
Zhou Lizhong was the happiest, his eyes sparkled, "I don't know if I can be half as smart as my aunt."
