Yang Datou looked at Liu Ye's belly with a worried look on his face, "Auntie, when are we going to the hospital?"
Jiang Ning said: "In two days, we will live directly at the Dashan Inn. When Ye Zi is about to give birth, we will go to the hospital immediately. I have already found Wen Po, so there will be no delay."
“Then I’ll go with you!” Yang Datou said loudly.
Liu Ye immediately glared at him, "I don't know when I will be born. What are you doing here? No more business in the shop? No more work in the inn? Hurry up and pack up and go back to Songxi Town. Where are you? Look, I can give birth to my baby safely here!”
Yang Datou was not very willing.
Jiang Ning hurriedly said: "When Datou goes back, I will take Ye Zi to the town. I will send you news immediately after the baby is born."
Yang Datou had no choice but to agree.
Over the next few days, Jiang Ning tried his best to prepare nutritious meals for Liuye every day. He was afraid that her child would be too big to bear, so he tried his best to cook her high-protein food and take her out for a walk every morning and evening.
Seeing that it was almost time for the child to come out, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law packed their luggage and rushed to Dashan Inn.
Shopkeeper Jin specially reserved an upper room for them.
Liuye’s stomach started to hurt within two days of moving in.
Shopkeeper Jin had been paying attention, and immediately asked the waiter to help send the person to the hospital, and then asked the waiter to pick up Po Wen. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and Jiang Ning didn't need to worry about it at all.
The doctor at the hospital was an old acquaintance. He arranged a room for them in the backyard early. As soon as Liu Ye entered, Po Wen came.
Jiang Ning paid attention on the sidelines and learned by the way.
The whole birth process made her terrified. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The baby came out before dawn the next day. He was a fat boy weighing six pounds.
The child was well-raised and had thick black hair. Po Wen praised her happily, and Jiang Ning gave her five hundred coins.
Mrs. Wen's eyes suddenly lit up. She had delivered so many children, and the wedding money she usually received was only twenty or thirty cents. Those with a rich family would give a little more, but it would never exceed eighty cents. This time, she received five cents at once. Bai Wen, she can rest for a few days.
In addition to Wen Po, Jiang Ning also gave 500 yuan to the doctor of the medical clinic. Shopkeeper Jin not only paid off the rent, but also gave the waiter 200 yuan as a thank you gift.
She gave all the money that was due, and while the weather was still cool, she quickly called a bullock cart to take Liu Ye and the child back to Rongshu Village.
Li received the news immediately and ran to Jiang Ning's home with several women from the village to watch the excitement.
Everyone stared at the sleeping child in the crib, their eyes almost overflowing with love.
Ms. Liu clicked her tongue and said, "I have seen so many newborn babies in my life, and this baby is the most beautiful!"
Pangzi nodded with envy, "In the past, everyone was not rich. It was good to be able to give birth to a child safely, but how could we raise the child so well!"
Zhang asked Jiang Ning excitedly: "Tell me what you gave Ye Zi to eat. I'll buy it when you get back!"
Zhang's daughter-in-law, Wu, was more than four months pregnant. Seeing how beautiful Jiang Ning's grandson was, she was very moved.
Jiang Ning smiled, "What else can we eat? Every household is the same, but they are close to the water there, and there are a lot of fish and shrimps. Datou works as a cook at the inn, and often brings some food back. When Ye Zi was pregnant, he didn't treat her badly. Open your mouth."
The little wives who came here were all envious, they were all the daughters-in-law of others, how could Liuye have such a good life!
Everyone sat for a while and then went back. Mrs. Li stayed, holding the child in her arms and not letting go. "I have to inform your father-in-law and Datou. After all, this is the first child in our family. We can't be careless. We must handle the third child's bath well and still have a child." "There is a full moon." Li said a lot and gave Liu Ye a couple of silver coins, "Thank you for giving birth to a big fat boy in our old Yang family. Take the money and ask your mother-in-law to cook something delicious for you."
Liu Ye refused, and Mrs. Li was not happy anymore, so she had no choice but to accept.
Ms. Li took care of the child for a while before reluctantly leaving.
The next evening Yang Datou came back, walked in and rushed straight to the room. Seeing that Liu Ye was fine and looking pretty good, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his attention to the child. He wanted to hug her but didn't dare to.
The child woke up after a while, his mouth curled up and groaning.
Liu Ye breastfed the child according to Wen Po's instructions. After the child calmed down, she said, "Ah Nai means that the third day of bathing should be done in a big way, and the child's name should not be careless. Have you thought about what the child will be called?"
Yang Datou shook his head helplessly, "Let A Niang take it! She is the child's grandmother, and she is also the emperor's consecrated wife. If she doesn't take it, who can take it?"
Liu Ye nodded happily, "I think so too, but I'm just too embarrassed to speak. Go ahead and say it."
Yang Datou left without saying a word, and soon pulled Jiang Ning into the room.
Jiang Ning still had a spatula in his hand, "What are you doing?"
“Aniang, your eldest grandson needs your blessing.” Yang Datou said.
Jiang Ning: "???? I wish him good health and safety, is that okay?"
Yang Datou still didn't let go, "There's more! His name."
Jiang Ning suddenly realized, "If you want me to choose a name, just say it. Why go around the bush? You can tell me when your grandpa comes back. If your grandpa doesn't mind, I will decide the name of the child."
These days, the elderly are very particular, and they have to calculate their birth date and so on. She doesn't want to make the old man and the old lady unhappy.
Yang Datou grinned, "Sure! I'll tell you!"
The next day when Old Man Yang returned to the village, Yang Datou immediately told him about the matter.
Old man Yang had originally thought of several names. When he heard that Yang Datou said that Jiang Ning was the wife of the emperor, and that her name was important, he was immediately shaken. After struggling for a while, old man Yang ran to Jiang Ning to discuss, " Everyone, have you decided on a name for your child? "
Jiang Ning was not polite, nodded slightly, and said: "I thought about it a few times. The names of Datou and the others are Changbai, Changlin, Changsong, Changshen Xuejun. The man has a long name. In this generation, I want them all to follow Lele. The characters can be simply followed in the order of Bo Zhong Shu Ji, but it is difficult to continue the following ones, so I thought of a few more names, Lehua, Lexu, Leyin, Leji, Lemin, and Leshuo. What do you think of these names? What’s the name like?”
"Okay, okay." Old Man Yang pretended to be calm. He quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead when he left the kitchen. The names he thought of were Big Bull, Big Dog, Dashan, and Strong. Fortunately, he didn't say them out, otherwise he would be embarrassed. Big hair.
Yang Datou wrote down a few names that Jiang Ning thought of and gave them to Old Man Yang.
Old man Yang stared at those words for a long time. After a long time, he pulled Yang Datou and said, "Let's go together! These things know me, but I don't know them. A blind fortune teller can't even see, so how can I choose a name?"
In the end, Yang Datou accompanied Old Yang to go out. When he came back, the child's name was decided, Yang Lexu.
Yang Datou immediately wrote a letter to tell his younger brothers the good news.
By the way, Jiang Ning asked someone to bring over a batch of tea-scented rice paper and flower-scented rice paper that he had made.
