Chapter 292 Yan Chengdong

On the tenth day of September, Mrs. Li was in pain all day, and finally gave birth to a six-pound boy in the evening.When the child was just born, the loud cry almost knocked down the roof, and the people guarding in front of Li's house all congratulated Mr. Yan, saying that just by hearing the cry, they knew that he was a strong boy.

Lord Yan was overjoyed, and named the newborn Yan Chengdong, which meant that he hoped that he would be a pillar of talent when he grows up.

Xiaoxu was originally unhappy that Mrs. Li gave birth to a new brother, but after the child was born, he became the one who loved the child the most. The first thing he did after school every day was to wash his hands and hug his brother to play. You have to say goodbye to your younger brother with a serious face, no matter whether the little milk baby is sleeping or sucking on its own.

Dong Bao also likes this little milk baby very much. When Xiao Dong was born, his whole body was red and his skin was wrinkled. His eyes were tightly closed and wrapped in thick swaddling clothes. His eyebrows were very thin and very light, just like a little red frog.However, in less than half a month, the little frog has grown into a fat baby, able to eat and sleep, crying and tossing, and everyone in the room is in a hurry.

She still remembered that Xiaodong was dishonest when he was in Li Shi's stomach, and moved around every day. She put her palm on Li Shi's belly, and she could feel Xiao Dong's hands and feet slowly passing across Li Shi's belly. Belly, that wonderful feeling of joy is something she will never forget.

Yuanshui does not set up full moon wine here, but invites relatives and friends to have a wedding wine when the girl is eight days old and the boy is ten days old, which is called "eating noodles". Boiled eggs dyed red are used as a gift in return, and one of the meals for entertaining guests at the banquet must be noodles.

Because Mrs. Li is in confinement, there is no one in charge of the family, Mr. Yan does not plan to make a big deal, but only invites relatives and friends who are familiar with him. However, there are still many people who come, but most of them just come to congratulate and give gifts. After registering the name, I went back after expressing congratulations, so although there were many people that day, they were not flustered, and Xiaodong didn't cry much all day because of his face.

On the day of eating noodles, all the stewards in the workshop were led by Lin Fu to go down to the town to congratulate the owner. The helpers in the workshop also gave each of them [-] yuan and two red eggs. For a while, Tagouji was immersed in a beaming atmosphere.

Huang's heart, liver and lungs ached with anger, and the sky gradually became gloomy that afternoon, and soon there was a patter of autumn rain. Sitting at the door of the main room, Huang looked at the rainy sky outside, cursing, "God can't even see it." It's over!" Cursing and cursing, Huang's sorrow came from it, her hazy eyes gradually turned red, she wiped her tears with her sleeves, and blew her nose vigorously, "God doesn't have eyes! Married to a prodigal Daughter-in-law, she gave birth to a tiger girl who restrained her father...have pity on my eldest son and third son!" Ms. Huang murmured, full of grievances and resentments, unable to talk about it.

Old man Song sat aside, silently looking at the gloomy sky outside, feeling empty in his heart. He still remembered when his eldest son, Song Yang, was around. How wonderful, the eldest son has fame and can earn money, the eldest daughter-in-law is capable, and is a master both inside and outside. The second son's family gave him two grandchildren. Although the second son and his wife are a little tricky, they are still obedient. The third child is studying and has a bright future... At that time, the whole family lived well, and he and Mrs. Huang didn't have to worry about anything. The only regret was that Song Yang didn't have a biological son, but that was not a big problem. Yes, in the future one will be adopted, that is, there will be no rebirth, the big one and the second one will be picked by the boss

What now?The eldest family is gone, and the third child is gone as well, not to mention returning home during the New Year. I haven’t received a letter from the third child for a long time, and I don’t know where he is now. The second child’s family is getting worse and worse. Disobedient, and now Zhao Di is gone, I don't know if it is dead or alive.

The whole family just broke up like this!Old man Song was filled with grief, and he covered the painful expression on his face with his hands.

On the second day after eating noodles, Li Hongqin took time off at noon to deliver food to Song Zhaodi. Because of Li's happy event of giving birth, there were two extra red eggs in the lunch box.

Of course Song Zhaodi knew that only when a woman gave birth to a child, would the eggs become popular. If the child was a boy, the eggs would be more sought after. Many women wanted to be happy and give birth to a boy.

"Did my aunt give birth?" Song Zhaodi asked tentatively.

Li Hongqin was not very willing to talk to Song Zhaodi, but since Song Zhaodi had spoken, she could only smile and say, "I gave birth."

"Is it... a boy?" Song Zhaodi asked again.

When mentioning the child, Li Hongqin's face was full of joy, she nodded and said, "Yes, it weighs six catties, and she cried loudly."

Song Zhaodi also laughed, but the smile didn't come from the heart. She and Second Aunt Song looked down on Mrs. Li the most, that is, Mrs. Li couldn't have a son, and she was a chicken that didn't lay eggs. From her and Second Aunt Song's point of view , a woman who cannot bear a son is the greatest failure and disgrace, she simply does not deserve to live in this world, and now Mrs. Li has given birth to a son...

"That's great!" Song Zhaodi smiled hypocritically, "My aunt is in her prime now."

Hearing these words was pleasant to the ear, and Li Hongqin's attitude towards Song Zhaodi softened somewhat, and before leaving, she gave a few more instructions, "Take care of yourself, if there is anything you want to eat, just let me know, I can get it for you I'll do my best for you."

In the evening, when Li Hongqin took Zhang Xiuyu to visit Mrs. Li, Xiaodong was already asleep, and under the candlelight, his little face was so tender that water could be squeezed out.

After Zhang Xiuyu had seen the children, she went to play with Dongbao, and Li Hongqin was left to talk to Li Shi about her sisters.

"It's better now." Li Hongqin's face was full of joy, "Woman, if you have a son, you will have someone to rely on! Those guys in Tagouji told people that you can't have children, so it's a shame now." Slap them on the mouth!"

What Li Hongqin was most angry about was that her sister was bullied by a group of people in the Song family, and she is still angry.

"Sister, why are you still angry?" Mrs. Li smiled, and looked lovingly at her sweet son who was sleeping next to her, "I have long since stopped being angry. Whether they are doing well or not is none of my business. No matter what they say, I don't care." Don't care anymore. Don't say that Xiaodong is a son, even if he is a daughter, we love him the same!"

Li Hongqin laughed, leaned closer to Li Shi and asked in a low voice, "How is Xiaoxu? Do you like Xiaodong?"

"I like it very much! I can't wait to hug Xiaodong every day and never let go. I just pestered Xiaodong to teach him to call him brother. How could such a small child talk!" Li said with a smile, "When I was not born before, I was a little unhappy. Now She was born, and she is closer than anyone else! Dongbao is the same, and when the child's name is given, he goes to unlock the longevity lock and comes back."

Different from ordinary longevity locks, the longevity lock that Dong Bao gave his new brother was inlaid with gold and jade. It used a full three taels of gold, and there was a delicate white jade pendant under the lock. The words "[-] years old" are too heavy, so I can only wear them when Xiaodong grows up.

Unlike Li's family, who is accompanied by her husband and children, and relatives and friends who greet each other every day, Song Zhaodi's days of raising her baby in the rented house are so boring that they are going to mold.

Not so in the country!
The yard in the town is locked every day, and neighbors rarely come and go, unlike in the countryside, who locks the door in broad daylight?For example, the Song family only uses firewood doors, without chains, and the doors are never locked at night.During the day, there are a lot of people who visit and chat, and they can go to the river to wash clothes with friends.

Now she can only sit at the door and look at the sky in the four corners of the yard in a daze. A few days ago, she still felt a little fresh. Everything in the house is better than the Song family. Comfortable, but when she gets used to it, she won't be able to bear the loneliness anymore, she wants to go out and talk to someone, chat, she wants to see Mrs Li, Mrs Li is living so well...

But she didn't dare to go out. If she did, Dong Bao would kick her out, and if Song Yu saw her, she would have to go back and forth. Song Yu was not as polite to her as Dong Bao.The most important thing is that the gate of the courtyard is locked, and she can't get out even if she wants to. It is said that this is Dong Bao's special account. If she needs to find someone, she will call Aunt Liu from the west house. She tries to talk to Aunt Liu. He talked to her, but the woman heard that she was fine, so she didn't talk to her anymore.

bored!When Song Zhaodi was on the verge of mold, she couldn't help but fantasize that the Wang Lang who occupied her body was not the thief arrested in Anzhou, but the real prince of the Wang family, who would soon bring a man and a betrothal gift, riding Tall and tall, she welcomes her and her child in a splendid manner. When the time comes, she will also be able to feel proud, walk in front of others openly, and give birth to a child and serve a feast with red eggs...

However, this is just a thought, the reality is that she can only nest in this small yard, waiting for someone to deliver three meals a day, and she must also be grateful for Dongbao and Li's charity, otherwise the person who came to deliver the meals would treat her badly. Not a good face!

In mid-September, news came from the provincial capital, and the whole Yuanshui was a sensation. It turned out that Zhou Pingshan was selected as a scholar two years ago and was admitted to Juren!
It has been many years since Yuanshui has not raised a single candidate. Zhou Pingshan's winning this time is like a shot in the arm for all the students who have been studying hard, and it seems that they have seen hope again.

At the end of September, a woman in her fifties came to the shop, wearing plain blue clothes, and she opened her mouth to order Baoji's tofu.

"How much do you want?" Dong Bao asked.

The woman's face was full of joy, and she said: "I know that tofu, dried tofu, yuba, bean sprouts and so on are all from your family, and the rare yellow tofu, soft tofu, all of them come for [-] catties, and they will be delivered tomorrow night." Come to our house, this is the fixed money." Then, the woman put five strings of big money on the table in front of Dong Bao.

"You are?" Dong Bao asked with a smile.

When the woman introduced herself, her waist seemed to be straightened up, and her face was shining with pride, "Our young master is Zhou Juren!"
