Chapter 518 Giving Birth

When they got off the bus and arrived at the village, it was still bright and there was smoke from cooking fires everywhere in the village. It was lunch time.

It's summer now, it doesn't get dark that fast, and every family eats late.

When they entered the village carrying their burdens, the men and women holding rice bowls eating on the roadside all greeted them as long as they knew them.

Ye Yaodong is now considered a celebrity in the village. Every incident has left a deep impression on the villagers. This time he has made a lot of money. Rumors spread in the village that he was originally a second-rate man, but now he has seen Shaking completely.

It wasn't until he reached the door of his home that he was completely relieved. He put down the burden he was carrying and rubbed his face that was already stiff from smiling.

"Why are everyone so enthusiastic today? In the past, I only glanced at me and talked behind my back a few times when I walked over, but now everyone actually smiles and says hello to me?"

"Isn't it because there have been rumors in the past two days that you have made so much money?"

"Sure enough, people still have to have a little money. Once you have more money, everyone's attitude will be different."

Lin Xiuqing looked at his somewhat smug expression and rolled her eyes at him, "Stop dwelling on your pride and keep a low profile, okay? I quickly picked out the things. I have to put them away later. I have to cook and hold hugs all the way." My hands are almost dislocated when I touch this little nub."

"Isn't there no one here? Just cook some noodles and eat them later... Sniff~ What smells so fragrant? Chicken soup?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at her and said, "Is our family stewing chicken?"

"How do I know? Didn't I follow you back to your parents' house all day? Maybe the eldest and second brothers killed the chickens in advance? Let's stew the chickens and ducks that my parents killed for you at night. Originally, when you came back, I was thinking about stewing a little hen for the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

The old lady heard the noise outside and hurriedly came out. She wiped her hands on her apron a few times and said happily: "I'm back. Come in and have a rest. I stewed a little hen for a long time. The soup is waiting for you when you come back. Each of you can eat a bowl first to satisfy your stomach, and later you can get the remaining chicken soup and another bowl of noodles."

It turned out that it was really the fragrance coming from his home.

"When did it stew? In the afternoon?"

"Yes, as soon as you guys left the house, I went to catch the chicken and killed it. After simmering it for three hours, I kept it on the stove and only scooped out a small bowl of soup and a small chicken drumstick for Yangyang to eat. I'll put it on for you, and you sit down and rest for a while."

"We'll do it ourselves..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "I wanted to stew a little hen tomorrow, but I didn't expect the old lady to be a step ahead."

The old lady said happily: "I thought of it together. Dongzi's trip was too hard. He has turned black and haggard. He needs to make up for it."

"My parents took a chicken and a duck and killed them. They stewed them in the evening and ate them tomorrow. Otherwise, it would be stale if they were stewed tomorrow in the hot weather."

"Okay, okay, my parents are interested..."

"Where are the two children?"

"I ran out to play. They all ate at the old house. This little hen isn't that big. Just you two can eat it. Anyway, there will be chicken soup and duck soup tomorrow."

"Um."

"Oh, by the way, Huimei started it this morning. Your mother and two sisters-in-law have gone there and haven't come back yet. Her first baby will probably not be born until night."

"Ah!" Ye Yaodong stood up in shock.

"Sit down, sit down, you eat your food first. What does it have to do with you when she gives birth? Just your mother and your two sisters-in-law go over and help."

Lin Xiuqing said in surprise: "This child was born just in time, just in time to eat moon cakes on August 15th. Then I can celebrate my birthday and the festival together."

"That's one less holiday to celebrate. I heard that women like to celebrate holidays the most..."

"Where did you hear that?"

The old lady said: "It's best to give birth at night. It's not easy to take care of a baby born at fifteen, but tomorrow will be a good day."

"It's superstitious. When you give birth to a baby, you can say when you want to give birth? When you want to give birth, you can give birth at any time? It's not a caesarean section."

"What do you, a grown man, know?"

"We'll go over and take a look after we finish eating later," Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing and said, "We'll sort things out when we get back."

"good."

As soon as the couple drank a bowl of chicken soup, they walked non-stop towards Aguang's house. Nowadays, rural women basically give birth at home, and Ye Huimei is no exception.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw A Guang like an ant on a hot pot. He was sweating profusely and craned his neck to look into the room. Obviously they couldn't see anything and could only vaguely hear the noise coming from the room. The sound of pain came from inside.

"How long has it been?"

"We've been here since we went in this morning. Why does it take so long for this woman to give birth to a baby? No wonder people talk about giving birth in a room as a mockery all day long."

Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing, "How long have you been giving birth to the boss?"

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes and said angrily: "It took me almost a day and a night to give birth. You hugged your son as soon as you came back. It feels so good. You don't have to worry."

"Uh... I guess Emi will have to stay at night too."

"You just came back from your parents' home, right? Go back and rest first. There are still children at home to take care of and nurse. Huimei probably won't give birth so soon. I'll go and tell you the good news after the birth."

"Let's stand for a while first..."

It wasn't until it got dark, and there were still only sounds of pain in the house, but no sound of good news, that the couple went back first.

The children in their family are all still young, and one of them is still waiting to be fed. Lin Xiuqing really can't stay here for too long.

After saying hello to Aguang, they went back first.

As soon as the old lady saw them coming back, she immediately asked if she had given birth.

"Not yet, I don't know when the baby will be born. We looked at the sky and it was completely dark. We were afraid that the baby would look for her at night, so we came back first."

"It's probably late at night. Anyway, your mother is here. It's okay. I'll give you a bowl of noodles."

The couple was really like a spinning top today. They kept busy. After eating something casually, they tidied things up and bathed the child.

The next morning, they heard from Sister-in-law Ye next door that Ye Huimei had given birth to a daughter at around 3 a.m. last night. It was really just the right time.

"It's a pretty good day today, and it just happens to be a happy reunion day."

Ye Yaodong also smiled and said: "My daughter is very good, and I can have a second one without taking risks."

The old lady also felt the same way, "It's too few to have only one child now. Fortunately, if the first one is a girl, I can have another one, and the two children can also have a companion. I'm just afraid that the in-laws will be unhappy. After all, there is only one son, so I will definitely count on it." Emi gives birth to a boy."

"What can be done about this? No one can control whether a boy or a girl is born. Daughters are also very good, filial, sensible and obedient. Now no one wants daughters. In the future, there will be fewer girls, and men will not be able to find wives."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "Your daughter is only five months old, do you know that she will be filial, sensible and obedient?"

"You're sure, my daughter, do you still need to question this?"

The old lady smiled and shook her head, ignoring his bragging. She looked at Lin Xiuqing and said, "Send the little clothes over later. In fact, it is better for children to wear old clothes. The fabric of old clothes is soft..."

"Yeah, but I have to prepare two new ones, so I can get them easily. I gave away the old ones more than a month ago."

"Hey~ Our daughter and A Guang's daughter are just over 5 months apart. If they are the same age, they will have company in the future, so they can play together."

"You just thought of it?"

"Wash and dry all the clothes your daughter can't wear and send them to him."

"You don't need to tell me, I packed it up, washed it, and sent it over long ago."

"I'll tell my parents by the way later and ask them to come to our house for dinner in the evening to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Anyway, we already have chicken, duck, and fish. I'll go out to look around and add two more dishes."

"good."

Ye Yaodong sat at the door with his daughter in his arms, watching Lin Xiuqing go out, thinking that it went by so fast, and it was Mid-Autumn Festival again.

When he was reborn last year, his daughter was still a mere tadpole. Now she can hold her in his hands and play with her.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is also different from last year.

I have my own new home, an additional child, and all the large and small items in the house are basically complete. There are also two more shops, some savings, and some things that can't see the light of day yet.

This year is truly a prosperous year.

He kissed his daughter's little face and said, "Is it because you brought me good luck? Since your mother had you in her belly, your father and I have started to have great luck."

Ye Xiaoxi giggled as she kissed him, as if it was very itchy, and her mouth was drooling.

Ye Yaodong wiped her with a handkerchief, then folded it and put it in his pocket, "Why are you drooling so much? I see that you haven't dried the drool on your chest all day long. Do you want to eat?"

Ye Xiaoxi could only scream, and the more he screamed, the more saliva flowed, and he wiped it tirelessly.

"Hey, Dongzi, the chickens at home have laid eggs." The old lady happily took out an egg from the chicken coop in the yard. "Yesterday I saw a hen that kept clucking. I was thinking of using straw today. I built a chicken coop for it to lay eggs, but I didn’t expect that they had already laid eggs.”

Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up, "How about an egg? This is a supplement. Let Aqing stew it in the afternoon and it will be used as a complementary food for Xiaojiu."

"Okay, okay, this egg is small, so it's just right for her to eat. It's almost time for the other hens to lay eggs one after another. When the time comes, pick them up and give half of them to Emi for confinement."

"Duck eggs too, right? I've been raising them for four months, and it's time to lay them. When the time comes, pick up the first duck egg, and use the other eggs to pickle salted duck eggs."

Thinking of the oily sea duck eggs, he could make a big bowl of porridge.

The old lady smiled with a kind face and said, "Okay, okay, I will pickle them all for you when the time comes. All the salted duck eggs I pickle will be oily."

"Dad, I'll drive the ducks away." As soon as Ye Chenghu heard them talking about ducks, he put down the spinning top in his hand and said positively.

"Go on, don't go into the water, play on the shore for a while and then come back. The sun will be shining in a while."

"I know, I'll go to the beach to try my luck when the tide goes out."

Today is fifteen.

Ye Yaodong looked at the sea. It was calm. No accident. After the festival, he went to sea again to make money. Who told him to be a fisherman? When the weather was good, he had to actively make money.
