Chapter 227 July
"My leg is cramping." Yu Li grabbed his hand and pressed it against her stomach. Through her cotton coat, something was bulging against her palm. Sha Zhu smiled foolishly, and suddenly remembered something. He took out a candy triangle that was still warm from his pocket and said, "Hurry up and eat it. You must not have eaten well at noon again."
The snow fell heavier and heavier, covering up the noise in the distance.
The weather in June was as hot as a steamer. Qin Jingru was lying on the bed, with beads of sweat on her forehead, holding her newborn son in her arms, but her face was full of smiles. Xu Damao was standing beside the bed, holding an enamel pot in his hand, with brown sugar water in it, and his face was full of pride, as if he was holding a gold ingot.
"Shazhu, look, my son!" Xu Damao, who had waited for Qin Jingru to fall asleep, took his son out of the house to show off his son to the neighbors in the yard. He shouted at Shazhu who had just entered the middle courtyard, his voice so loud that it could lift the roof off. He carefully moved the child closer to Shazhu, as if afraid that others would not see him, "Look at his eyebrows and eyes, and his nose, they are carved out of the same mold as mine!"
Sha Zhu glanced at the wrinkled little face and laughed in his heart: This doesn't look like you at all, it's clearly a little old man. But he still said politely: "Congratulations, Damao, now you finally have a successor."
Xu Damao raised his chin proudly: "That's right! My son, Xu Damao, will definitely have a bright future!"
Sha Zhu was too lazy to argue with him and waved his hand: "Okay, your son has a bright future. Go home quickly. You can take the newborn baby out so that he won't catch a cold." After saying that, Sha Zhu lifted the curtain and went into his home.
Recently, Sha Zhu pedaled his bicycle home very fast every day. On the way, he could only think of Yu Li with her big belly. Yu Li had been complaining about her tight stomach these days, and she couldn't sleep well at night. Sha Zhu was thinking about it, pedaling very fast, wishing he could fly home immediately.
When they got home, Yu Li was sitting in the yard picking beans. The summer sun was very hot, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her clothes on the back were soaked. Sha Zhu quickly put down his bicycle and rushed over to grab the beans from her hand: "My dear, it's so hot, can you take a rest? I'll do these things!"
Yu Li smiled and pushed him away: "You go do your thing, I'll move around so I don't get uncomfortable lying down for too long."
Sha Zhu couldn't persuade her, so he had to move a small stool and sit next to her. While picking beans, he kept saying, "I'm assigning all the work to Ma Hua and Liu Lan now, just to take good care of you."
Yu Li smiled and said, "Why take care of me? This is not my first time giving birth. I know my limits."
"Okay, you know your limits." Sha Zhu sneered, "You know your limits better than Xu Damao, who showed off his child just a few days after it was born. Didn't you see that his child was hospitalized again right after being discharged? This is just a sign of not listening to advice."
As she was talking, Yu Li suddenly frowned and the beans in her hand fell to the ground. Sha Zhu looked up and saw that her face was pale, so he quickly supported her: "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Yu Li covered her belly, her voice trembling: "It seems...it seems like I'm about to give birth."
When Sha Zhu heard this, his head buzzed, and he hurriedly supported Yu Li: "Don't panic, don't panic, I'll take you to the hospital!" As he spoke, he rushed to the door of the uncle and said, "Auntie, Yu Li is about to give birth, I'll take her to the hospital, you help me take care of Liu Yi."
An auntie said anxiously in the house: "Go quickly, don't worry about Liuyi, I will take good care of him."
Liu Yi ran out of the uncle's house and saw his mother holding her stomach. His face turned pale with fear: "Dad, what happened to Mom?"
"Your mother is going to give birth to a baby brother!" Sha Zhu said as he helped Yu Li walk out. "I'll take you to the hospital. Stay home with Grandma and don't make any trouble."
Liu Yi nodded and watched Sha Zhu help Yu Li onto the bicycle and push her to the hospital. Along the way, Yu Li pinched his arm in pain, but Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and said nothing.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctors and nurses were busy. Sha Zhu stood outside the delivery room, rubbing his hands anxiously.
Two or three hours later, a loud cry was heard in the delivery room. Sha Zhu stood up suddenly and almost knocked over the passing patient's family members. As he apologized again and again, the nurse pushed open the door and said with a smile: "Congratulations, it's a big fat boy!"
Sha Zhu rushed into the delivery room with a silly grin on his face and saw Yu Li lying on the bed, sweating profusely, holding a rosy little baby in her arms. He approached her and asked cautiously, "Wife, are you okay?"
Yu Li smiled weakly: "It's okay, I'm just tired."
Sha Zhu looked at the wrinkled little face, and his heart softened. He reached out and touched the little guy's face, whispering: "This kid really knows how to pick a date. He was born on July 1st. He will definitely have a bright future!"
Yu Li smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's auspicious to share the same birthday as the Party."
Sha Zhu suddenly remembered something: "Liuyi means born on June 1st, and this kid was born on July 1st. These two are really good at choosing dates."
Yu Li heard this and asked quietly, "What's the name of this? July 1st?"
Sha Zhu scratched his head and nodded, "Just call me July 1st."
Yu Li smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's call her Qiyi."
The two of them were in front of the bed, grinning from ear to ear. The sunlight from the window poured in, shining on Qiyi's rosy little face, as if it was coated with a layer of gold. Shazhu looked at this scene, feeling warm in his heart, and felt that this life was worth it.
On the other side, Xu Damao was strolling in the yard holding his son. Hearing laughter coming from next door, he couldn't help but curl his lips: "The second son of the Shazhu family was born at a good time. But no matter what, he can't compare to my son!"
Qin Jingru sat on the doorstep, smiled and shook her head: "You, you only know how to show off. Try to make my son sick again."
Xu Damao raised his chin proudly: "Don't worry, I'm sorry for my son."
Qin Jingru sat on the edge of the kang, holding her one-month-old son in her arms, patting his swaddling clothes gently. The little guy was sleeping soundly, his face rosy, and he occasionally smacked his lips, as if he was breastfeeding in a dream. The leaves of the locust trees rustled in the yard, and suddenly the cry of Qiyi from Shazhu's family next door floated in amid the cicadas, crisp as a small copper bell.
"Did you hear that? My little one is already crying." Qin Jingru used the bottle to tease her son in her arms without even raising her eyelids, "You, as a father, are still like a blockhead."
Xu Damao spat out a cucumber stem and said, "What's wrong with you again?"
Qin Jingru shook her head and lowered her voice and said, "Da Mao, our son is born. You have to plan for his future."
Xu Damao was stunned: "Plan? What plan?"
