At the end of April, Chang Hao still felt his little nephew's fetal movement as he wished, and watched helplessly at a small bag he was holding up with his little feet. Chang Hao felt his palm being kicked.
"Wow, baby, you are so strong!" Chang Hao was startled, took his hand away and looked at his palm, and said in surprise, then he turned his head and said, "Brother, Brother Jiabao, he kicked me!"
Saying that, he put his hands up again with a look of excitement.
Brother Le smiled and nodded lightly.
The baby has been very active these days, especially when Yu Qingze and Chang Hao were talking to him, they moved very violently, as if they had really memorized their voices. As soon as they approached to talk, if they didn't sleep, he would move One move.
Even through a layer of clothes, Jiabao saw Brother Le's abdomen move and a small bulge was pushed up.
He opened his eyes wide and watched, feeling amazing.
Brother Le beckoned to him, and Jiabao walked over.
Brother Le gestured to him: Do you want to touch him
For the past two months, Jiabao has been watching Chang Hao interact with the little baby with this longing and expectant look, but he is envious, this look has not escaped Le Geer's eyes.
Jiabao heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he stammered, "Yes, is it alright?"
Brother Le nodded, pulled his wrist, and put it where the baby was moving, so that he could feel the magic of little life.
At this moment, just as the baby kicked again, Jiabao only felt a powerful blow under the palm of his hand, and he was really moving!
"Did you kick you?" Chang Hao asked.
Jiabao nodded blankly, "It's amazing."
Yu Qingze looked at the three of them and said with a smile, "It must be naughty to come out."
Chang Hao said: "Naughty, I'll take him to play."
"I'm afraid you'll be too annoying." Yu Qingze shook his head.
Chang Hao also shook his head, and then said solemnly: "No way! Little uncle is not for nothing!"
Several people looked at him and laughed.
As the baby grew up, Le Geer's body became more and more cumbersome. Because of the fetal movement, he didn't sleep well at night. After a while, he was a little tired and needed to rest.
Because Brother Chang is now in the late stage of pregnancy and is about to give birth, he is also waiting at home to give birth, and Brother Le now goes to Xue's house every day to accompany him. Brother Le was not so nervous, but the four men in the family were more nervous than him. Every day, someone had to accompany him there and pick him up.
On May 16, Brother Chang was born, and at night, he was a little brother. The next day, Brother Le and the others didn't know until they received the red eggs from Xue's house.
Brother Le immediately went to visit with a gift, accompanied by Yu Qingze.
Naturally, Yu Qingze couldn't enter the room, so he had to wait outside, with Xue Baishu accompanying him.
Although Xue Baizhu's face was blue and black, his face was full of joy that could not be concealed. Yu Qingze looked at him with a smile and said, "I didn't sleep last night, okay? You don't have to accompany me, go and rest, and sleep well to take care of Brother Chang and the baby."
Xue Baishu shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, I can't sleep right now."
Yu Qingze asked, "Has the baby been named?"
"It's done." Xue Baishu nodded and said, "My name is Xue Mujin."
"Hibiscus?"
Xue Baishu nodded and said, "A kind of flower is also a medicine for clearing heat and cooling blood. My father took it."
"..." Yu Qingze paused for a moment, then said, "It's very characteristic of your family."
Xue Baizhu's eldest brother is Xue Huangqi, and his second brother is Xue Chenxiang. Atractylodes, Astragalus, and Agarwood are the names of medicinal materials. His eldest brother's children are also named after medicinal herbs.
Xue Baishu nodded helplessly and whispered: "Brother Yu, you don't know, there were originally two names, but my father chose three names for us to choose, Xue Hongshen, Xue Chishao, Xue Mujin, I think it's still Mujin. It sounds nice, so I used this, and Brother Chang agreed."
Hearing this, Yu Qingze could not laugh or cry, but fortunately, Hibiscus is really nice. If the name of other unpleasant medicinal herbs is called, I don't know if the baby will complain when he grows up.
Xue Baishu asked, "Brother Yu, has your baby been named?"
Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "Not yet. Everyone in the family has thought about it. Several names are the best, and they have not decided who to choose."
Because of the baby's name, they held several family meetings, but no one persuaded anyone. Finally, Yu Qingze waved his hand and said, "When the baby is older, let him choose by himself! Draw lots!"
In the end, it was unanimously approved by everyone. Anyway, the baby caught it by himself. Let him use the name of whatever name he catches at that time.
After waiting for about half an hour, Brother Le came out after watching the baby, and the two said goodbye and returned to the restaurant.
Along the way, Brother Le was gesturing to Yu Qingze. The baby was soft and cute, and his face was full of joy and expectation.
"When our baby is born, it will be very cute." Yu Qingze said.
Brother Le nodded happily.
After nine months of pregnancy, Yu Qingze stopped letting Brother Le go to the restaurant. He also handed over the restaurant to Jiabao and Dasong Dazhi, and then accompanied Brother Le at home.
After more than a year of study, Dasong Dazhi can also cook well, and the dishes on the current menu can also be done well and can support the kitchen.
The things needed for production and after the baby is born, the midwife and the person who came to take care of Le Ge'er's confinement have also been found. As long as the baby is born, they will come over immediately.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the baby to arrive.
On the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, Brother Le had just woken up and finished breakfast, and Yu Qingze accompanied him for a walk in the yard to digest food.
In the yard, Grandpa Chang planted two long tomatoes on both sides of the wall. At this time, it is the season of ripe tomatoes, and the round tomato pendants with bright red on the branches are particularly beautiful.
Brother Le bent down slightly and wanted to pick one, but his stomach suddenly hurt. He covered his stomach with one hand, frowned tightly, and quickly grabbed Yu Qingze's arm with the other hand.
"What's wrong? Stomach pain?" Yu Qingze asked nervously.
Brother Le nodded.
"Are you going to give birth? I'll take you back to the room." Yu Qingze quickly picked up Brother Le and returned to the room, shouting as he walked, "Grandpa, grandpa."
"What's the matter? You're about to give birth?" Grandpa Chang came out of the kitchen and quickly asked when he saw Yu Qingze carrying Brother Le into the room.
Putting Brother Le on the bed, Yu Qingze then asked Brother Le: "How is it? I, I'm going to invite the midwife to come over now."
He is really inexperienced in this area. He only knows that the labor pains in the early stage of giving birth will be very painful and will last for a while, but he doesn't understand. Fortunately, the midwife's house is not far from them. You can let the midwife watch first, and then he will go. Please come over, Doctor Ye.
"Are you going to give birth?" Grandpa Chang also followed and asked anxiously.
Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "I don't know, Brother Le suddenly has a stomachache. Maybe he is about to give birth. Grandpa, I'll go ask the midwife first. Look at Brother Le."
After saying that, Yu Qingze ran out.
"Hey, Aze, not so fast!" Grandpa Chang shouted, but Yu Qingze had already run out. Grandpa Chang shook his head, entered the room, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked Brother Le, "Xiao Le, does it still hurt?"
Brother Le nodded, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Don't worry, Aze has already gone to invite the midwife. It should still be in pain for a while, so please bear with it. When you gave birth to you, it took a long time to give birth." Grandpa Chang couldn't help him. Busy, I can only distract him while chatting with him, while wiping his sweat.
When Brother Le heard the words, he nodded. After a while, his stomach didn't hurt so much. He raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief. Doctor Ye and Brother Chang told him about the labor pains before giving birth. He knew that it would take some time to give birth.
Not long after, the midwife came, asked about the situation, and then said, "It's okay, there's still a while, you go and invite Dr. Ye over first. Boss Yu, do you think there is another brother who understands your husband's gestures? ?"
Yu Qingze nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Chang can understand."
"Then invite him over too, and invite him to accompany the delivery." The midwife said.
"Okay, I'll go now." Yu Qingze immediately drove the carriage to the Xue residence.
When Doctor Ye and Brother Chang heard that Brother Le was about to give birth, they quickly ordered the servants to go to the medicine hall to call Xue Baishu back, and then gave baby Xue Mujin to his uncle to carry, so they brought the herbs and medicine box and sat down on the table. The carriage passed, and Doctor Xue brought his personal servant who was also his assistant.
After Dr. Ye arrived, he first went to see Brother Le's condition. It was still early, so they didn't have to worry.
After eating at noon, and until the afternoon of Shen Shi, Le Geer was finally about to give birth. Chang Hao had been home for lunch these days. When he saw that his brother was about to give birth, he quickly ran to the school to ask for leave from the master, then ran back quickly and waited.
Because Brother Le can't make a sound, Yu Qingze, Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao can't hear Brother Le's voice outside, they can only hear the voice of Doctor Ye and the midwife. Coming soon" or something.
But just because they couldn't hear Brother Le's voice made them more worried and felt that time passed more slowly.
They can only wait outside, and when they need hot water inside, they will bring it over and change the water inside.
…
Yu Qingze and the others felt that after a long wait, they finally heard a loud cry of a baby when it was dark.
"Wow-"
"It's born, it's born! Grandpa, it's born!" Yu Qingze happily grabbed Grandpa Chang's arm and said excitedly.
Grandpa Chang was also very excited and said loudly: "I am born! My great-grandson is born!"
Chang Hao was even more exaggerated, roaring and running frantically in the yard.
"Ah! It was born! My brother was born! My little nephew was born!"
In the delivery room, the midwife smiled and held the cleaned baby in a swaddle to Brother Le, "Congratulations, congratulations, you're a little guy."
Hearing this, Brother Le looked sideways at the baby, his whole body was red and his eyes were still not open, because the midwife patted his buttocks and cried a few times just now, his whole face turned even redder, and he is still crying now. sobbing.
"Wow, little man, Brother Le, congratulations!" Brother Chang looked at the little baby and congratulated Brother Le in surprise.
Brother Le smiled and nodded, wanting to hug him, but it took too much strength to give birth to the baby just now, and now he is exhausted, and only barely reached out to touch the baby's swaddling clothes, and then heard Yu Qingze and the others outside. The voice, smiled weakly, and passed out.
"Brother Le? Brother Le? Ah, come and see, why is Brother Le fainted?" Brother Chang quickly called Doctor Ye when he saw that Brother Le suddenly fainted.
Doctor Ye was still cleaning the birth canal with juice for Brother Le and doing the follow-up. Hearing Brother Chang's voice, he went over to check and said, "Don't worry, it's just tired and faint, he's longer than when you gave birth. Once you have the strength, you will be good to sleep."
"Oh, this shocked me." Brother Chang patted his heart and said, and then said to the midwife: "Midwife, let's take the baby to the door and show them?"
"Good good."
Brother Chang opened the door and asked Yu Qingze and the others to close the door to prevent the wind from blowing in. Then the midwife carried the baby to the door.
"Congratulations to Boss Yu, you are a little guy." The midwife smiled and opened the baby's swaddling clothes a little so that several people could see the baby's face clearly.
Yu Qingze, Grandpa Chang, and Chang Hao all leaned over to take a look. Their small cheeks were flushed red, their eyes were tightly closed, and their brows were still a little wrinkled.
Chang Hao frowned and said, "Why do you frown like a little monkey?"
Grandpa Chang patted the back of his head and scolded with a smile: "You are the little monkey! Children are like this when they are born. You are more wrinkled than the baby when you are born."
"Ah?" Chang Hao was horrified and asked, "No way? I'm more wrinkled than a baby?"
The midwife smiled and said, "It will be fine after a while."
Yu Qingze looked at the baby, stretched out his fingers and gently touched the baby's face, it was soft and tender, and suddenly, his heart was soft.
Oh his son!
Then, he looked up and asked, "Midwife, how is Brother Le? Are you okay?"
The midwife replied, "It's alright, I'm tired and faint, and I fell asleep. Doctor Ye is here, don't worry."
Hearing this, several people were relieved.
Yu Qingze said again, "Can I give you a hug?"
The midwife smiled and said: "Yes, yes, be careful, his body is soft, you have to stabilize his head."
When the midwife gently placed the baby in her arms, Yu Qingze cautiously did not dare to move, for fear that she would accidentally drop her son.
It was a small ball, soft and didn't feel heavy, it was estimated to be about six or seven pounds, but Yu Qingze felt that the small group in his arms weighed more than a thousand pounds.
Chang Hao looked at him with hot eyes and asked, "I want to hug too."
Grandpa Chang said immediately: "No, you can't even hold it. What if the baby falls? You can hold it when the baby is older."
When Chang Hao heard the words, he resented again.
Then, Grandpa Chang also hugged for a while, and asked the midwife to carry him back to the house.
When Brother Chang and the others helped to clean up the room, they wiped Brother Le and changed his clothes. Yu Qingze went in and looked at Brother Le first.
Seeing that Brother Le's hair was soaked all over his head, his face was also very bad, tired and haggard, Yu Qingze kissed him on the forehead very distressedly, and took a dry towel to wipe his hair. .
"Doctor Ye, can the sheets and quilts be changed now? I'm afraid Brother Le will not sleep well." Yu Qingze asked in a low voice.
"I was just going to talk to you about this. Pick up Brother Le and Brother Chang to change the sheets and quilt." Doctor Ye said.
Several people changed the sheets and quilts again, and then Dr. Ye explained to Yu Qingze and Uncle Lin, who was invited to take care of Le Geer's confinement and the baby, and explained the precautions after giving birth, and both of them carefully took notes. .
Yu Qingze cooked again, and invited the midwife and Dr. Ye for dinner, and then sent the midwife and Brother Chang home.
"I'll stay for a while tonight, and I'll see how Brother Le wakes up." Doctor Ye said.
Yu Qingze asked nervously, "Is there something wrong with Brother Le's body?"
Dr. Ye smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, don't worry, it's just that he took a long time during the delivery, and the bleeding was a little more. I want to see how his birth canal is recovering. Don't worry, it's fine."
Hearing this, Yu Qingze nodded and said, "Doctor Ye has worked so hard, I'll go clean up your guest room."
Jiabao and Chang Hao still lived in the same room. There was also a guest room and a small room at home. The small room was for Uncle Lin. Yu Qingze packed the room and arranged for Doctor Ye to stay there.
Uncle Lin just finished feeding the baby with milk rice, and the baby fell asleep. He asked, "Boss Yu, the baby will wake up at night and want to feed and change diapers, should I stay here?"
Yu Qingze shook his head and replied, "No, you go to sleep first. If the baby wakes up, I'll find you again."
Although he has learned to feed and change diapers for the baby just now, he estimates that he will still be in a hurry when the time comes, especially now that the baby has just been born and is not yet a month old and is very fragile. He must need Uncle Lin to take care of him. But he was worried that a stranger would sleep with Brother Le and the baby in the same room. He was also afraid that Brother Le would wake up in the middle of the night and could not see that he was afraid, so he decided to stay with Brother Le by himself. Baby sleeps well.
At night, Brother Le was so tired that he was not woken up. The baby woke up several times.
It wasn't until the next morning that Brother Le woke up.
Doctor Ye checked him carefully, confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and explained some precautions before going home.
After seeing off Dr. Ye, Yu Qingze returned to the room, watching Brother Le leaning on his side, placing one hand on the baby's swaddle gently, with a soft smile on his face, watching the baby sleep, with that peaceful and contented expression , as if glowing with a layer of light.
Yu Qingze walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, kissed Brother Le's face, and said, "Father, it's hard for you."
When Brother Le heard the words, he shook his head and gestured: "It's not hard work. It's worth everything to see the baby born."
Yu Qingze was moved, lowered his head, kissed Brother Le's lips gently, and whispered, "Father, I love you."
I love you too.
Brother Le gestured, opened his lips lightly, and the two exchanged a sweet and gentle kiss.
