Chapter 11 The Monkey Looks Like His Father
Jiang Shuyue forced herself to raise her eyes and look at the child that Aunt Su was carrying.
"Why...why does it look like this?"
Jiang Shuyue had never seen a newborn baby. Looking at the wrinkled little monkey, her beautiful eyebrows were twisted into knots.
Her looks are outstanding, does this monkey look like his father? !
Isn’t that right?
She clearly remembered that look, that guy's enchanting eyes.
This little monkey with edema and blind eyes looked nothing like that guy.
"Yue'er! You are inexperienced, but this child is so handsome!"
"Look at how handsome his eyebrows are, and his long hands and feet. He will definitely not be short in the future."
Seeing Aunt Su praising an ugly monkey like a flower, Jiang Shuyue was dubious.
"But...his skin is too red." Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but say.
"Newborn babies are all pink, and they will turn white slowly. Also, they have just come out of the mother's belly and have some moisture in their bodies. They will look better as time goes by."
Qiu Ju nodded frequently after hearing this. The young lady is as beautiful as a flower, and the young master must be Yuxue's cute one.
Aunt Su's mood changed, and she looked at the child in her arms with distressed eyes and said, "What a pity, if his father were still alive, he would be so happy to see you braving all the hardships and giving birth to such a lovely son for him."
"Ahem..."
Qiu Ju almost choked to death on her own saliva.
Qiu Ju secretly cursed that Aunt Su had been moved by this story for almost half a year.
The corners of Jiang Shuyue's mouth twitched fiercely, she blinked with a grimace, and a layer of mist formed in her eyes.
He said weakly: "No, the devil is not blessed."
"Don't be sad. Auntie is too talkative. I shouldn't mention your sadness."
When Aunt Su saw Jiang Shuyue's eyes sparkling with tears, she quickly shut up.
God knows, Jiang Shuyue felt sorry for the dead husband she made up. She felt pain.
It really hurts. How can giving birth not be painful?
In order to prevent others from gossiping, she made up a touching story for herself.
After her wedding, her husband went to the frontier and died as soon as he entered the battlefield.
Her mother's family wanted her to have an abortion and marry another woman, but she would rather die than obey. She pawned the dowry and ran away with her maid to give birth to her husband's only bloodline.
Aunt Su's whole family was convinced of her tragic experience, and even the tongue-tied woman in the village shed a handful of bitter tears for her.
"Sister Yue'er, are you okay? Eat the brown sugar eggs while they are hot." Su Hui walked in with a bowl of brown sugar eggs.
Su Huairen had already boiled the eggs and warmed them on the stove, and was waiting for the baby's cry to be delivered by Su Hui.
"Thank you sister Hui'er for your concern. The child is not very big, so I didn't suffer much."
Although Jiang Shuyue was not an obstetrician and gynecologist in her previous life, she did understand nutrition.
In this era when she wanted nothing, she was particularly afraid of having a difficult childbirth.
She insists on exercising every day and pays attention to balanced nutrition to keep her child at a healthy weight.
It only took half a day from when the amniotic water broke to when the baby landed.
Po Wen said that compared to many mothers, Jiang Shuyue's delivery was relatively smooth.
"Yue'er, don't move. Auntie is here to feed you."
Aunt Su put the child on Jiang Shuyue's other side. She picked up a pillow for Jiang Shuyue to lean on.
Qiu Ju saw beads of sweat still forming on the young lady's forehead, so she picked up the handkerchief and wiped it.
"Auntie, there's too much, I can't eat it."
Looking at the bowl full of eggs, Jiang Shuyue estimated that there were at least six or seven here.
"I just gave birth to a baby, and my stomach is empty. Eat as much as possible so that the baby can have milk to drink." Aunt Su said, scooping a spoonful of brown sugar water and feeding it to her.
After taking a sip of brown sugar water, Jiang Shuyue felt that her throat felt much better.
"Sister, take your time, take your time, dad is cooking the medicine for breast milk." Su Hui leaned over and looked at the child with her eyes closed, her eyes full of curiosity and doting.
"Sister Yue'er, what's your nephew's name? Should he call me aunt or aunt?"
Su Hui wanted to put the child in her arms, but looking at the child who looked like a kitten, she was afraid that she could not hold it well.
Seeing her stretch out her hand and then retract it, Aunt Su ordered: "The child needs to sleep, don't disturb him, it would be better to name him later."
The custom here is to name the child after a hundred days, which means long life.
Seeing how Su Hui cared about the child, Jiang Shuyue said warmly: "My uncle and aunt treat me like a daughter. Sister Hui'er is my biological sister. Of course Xiaobao will call you aunt."
After Jiang Shuyue ate three brown sugar eggs, she couldn't eat anymore.
Aunt Su took away the extra pillow and said with concern: "Have a good sleep. Su Jin and Su Nan went to fish in the creek outside the village. When you wake up later, drink fish soup, and the baby will have milk."
"Don't sleep, don't sleep. I'm going to bring you some milk medicine. Uncle Lin said, if you drink his recipe, you can keep the baby for half an hour and you'll have milk."
Su Hui was afraid of starving the little baby, so she turned and ran away.
The Uncle Lin she said was also a hard-working man. She didn't know his name, but everyone called him Lin Miaoshou.
He is also a doctor who lives here.
Lin Miaoshou has good medical skills. He said that when he went to the mountain to collect medicine, he tasted some medicine by mistake, which caused his eyesight to be blurred.
On weekdays, he makes a living by treating people. Since his eyes are not working well, he can write even with his eyes closed.
Lin Miaoshou has been in the village for some years. A matchmaker offered him a matchmaker, but he refused to do so, saying that he was a useless person and did not want to harm others.
After Jiang Shuyue came here, she occasionally saw him at Su's house.
Unexpectedly, he was so attentive, and Jiang Shuyue felt warm in her heart.
She said to Qiuju, "Go cook more red eggs and send them to everyone later."
After she came here, she raised more than ten hens and two roosters.
When going to the market, she asked Qiuju to guard the mule cart. In fact, she hid in a deserted place and took out the chickens in the space.
The hens that drank the spiritual spring water laid an egg every day, without fail.
The chickens in Aunt Su's house were fed with spiritual spring water by Jiang Shuyue, and the same was true.
On market days, Su Jin took the eggs to the town to sell. Su Jin and his father also took on some copying work, and their lives were much better than before.
As long as Jiang Shuyue didn't sell medicinal materials, she didn't have to go to Zhuxi County.
There is a small town half an hour away from the village.
When Jiang Shuyue was pregnant, she stopped going to the market. She asked Su Jin to drive the mule cart to the town.
Every market day, Lin Miaoshou would go to the town to set up a stall, and Su Jin would always bring Lin Qiu Miaoshou with him. Perhaps he remembered this affection for Jiang Shuyue.
After a while, Su Hui brought the medicine.
Jiang Shuyue took a sip, and the medicine had a faint sweetness.
"Sister, drink it quickly, it won't burn your mouth, dad put it in a ladle and cooled it with well water."
Su Hui saw Jiang Shuyue drinking it in small sips, and she urged her.
The little nephew was still hungry, and she was very anxious.
Seeing Jiang Shuyue drink it all up, she stared at the little guy for a while before leaving reluctantly.
Seeing Qiuju busy in the kitchen, Aunt Su said to Jiang Shuyue in a gentle voice: "Go to sleep quickly, and when you wake up, the child will have milk to drink."
...
In the Yannan Palace.
Xiao Jingzhao was lying on the small couch in the study for a nap.
A cute child giggled and jumped into his arms.
"Daddy!"
Xiao Jingzhao woke up with a start.
