Chapter 396 I want to hug myself and give birth!

Xu Qinghuan hasn't had any demands lately.

Jiang Xingye makes a lot of noise every night, and she can't get up in the morning.

When Zhou Guizhi rushed over to call her, she was still sitting at the dining table nodding, holding chopsticks in her hand, but she couldn't muster any energy. Her eyes looked like they were glued shut with superglue, and she could only close them by holding a chopstick up.

"Huan, your sister-in-law is about to give birth. I've called a midwife. Could you go and check on her?" Zhou Guizhi was so anxious that she was at a loss. Seeing Xu Qinghuan put down her chopsticks and get up, she quickly helped her bring the bowl over and followed her. "Sweetie, have a couple of bites first. You haven't eaten yet."

Xu Qinghuan took a steamed bun and took two bites, but she really had no appetite, so she put it back. "Auntie, I'm not hungry. I'll eat later."

Jiang Xingbing was pacing around in the yard when Jiang Baohua returned and was squatting at the door smoking a pipe.

Dong Sufeng was pregnant and her pregnancy was already showing. When she saw Xu Qinghuan coming over, she hurriedly went to greet her. "I told my sister-in-law to go to the health center to give birth, but she said it wasn't necessary. She said that with you here, she wasn't afraid."

Xu Qinghuan said, "It's alright, I'll go in and take a look."

The room reeked of blood. Xu Qinghuan put a pill in her mouth to suppress the smell and stood aside watching the midwife's procedure.

The midwife is Hu Hai's grandmother, a very experienced midwife, who is teaching Tian Jinhua how to breathe. This breathing method can effectively relieve the pain of uterine contractions and also help her build up strength.

The worst thing about giving birth is exhaustion.

Xu Qinghuan put a Qi and Blood Pill into Tian Jinhua's mouth. "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I'm here. The baby is in the right position. Just follow Grandma Hu's rhythm."

She's just here to keep watch.

After taking the pills, Tian Jinhua regained her strength. Seeing that Xu Qinghuan had found her backbone and was cooperating well with Grandma Hu, she was now very pleased.

This was her third pregnancy, and she gave birth in less than two hours.

"It's a girl!" Grandma Hu said, a little embarrassed.

Xu Qinghuan smiled and said, "My daughter is great, I just love my daughter."

She held the cleaned child in her arms, reluctant to let go, and talked to the child, "How about being with your auntie? Your auntie likes you very much too. Our little girl is so pretty."

It would be a lie for Tian Jinhua to say she wasn't disappointed; she was pregnant with this child, so it was inevitable that she would hope for a son.

When Grandma Hu told her it was a girl, tears welled up in her eyes. It wasn't that she didn't like having a daughter, but she felt very wronged. She felt that she had prayed for so long, but God couldn't grant her wish, and she was heartbroken.

But seeing Xu Qinghuan's genuine love for her daughter, she felt ashamed.

The baby started crying, catching Xu Qinghuan off guard. Jiang Xinglan took the baby, checked the baby's diaper, and found no urine. She then asked Tian Jinhua, "Do you have milk now?"

Tian Jinhua felt a tightness in her chest. "Let her try it."

With Xu Qinghuan's pills, Tian Jinhua felt better and her milk came in, though not much for the time being, but enough for the baby.

Jiang Xingbing came in and glanced at Tian Jinhua. There were many people around, so he just shyly tucked the blanket around her. "The baby is fine, and you are fine too, so I'm relieved. I'll go get some crucian carp for you to eat."

"Be careful, don't go into the deep water, there's breast milk there." Tian Jinhua reached out and grabbed his hand.

Jiang Xingbing nodded and went out.

Xu Qinghuan said, "I'll get two doses of medicine later and have your aunt brew it for you for two days to help you recover."

"Then I'll have to trouble you." She pulled out ten yuan from under her pillow and gave it to Xu Qinghuan. "Is that enough?"

Xu Qinghuan laughed and slapped her hand. "What are you doing? You just had a baby, and you're arguing with me over two doses of medicine I gave you?"

Tian Jinhua stuffed it into her hand, saying, "Let's keep things separate. If you were to give me a chicken to eat, I definitely wouldn't pay you. But you have to accept this."

Jiang Xinglan also told her to accept it, saying, "Although we are family, you are the youngest. We haven't been able to help you much, so we can't always expect you to support us."

She had been saving money, trying to save up five hundred yuan to pay off Xu Qinghuan's job debt and also to give some money to Jiang Xingye. She was currently living in Jiang Xingye's house, and she couldn't just stay there for free; she wanted to buy it. Dinner was at the Jiang family home, and Jiang Xingye came over too. Seeing Xu Qinghuan holding the child, he glanced at him and remarked, "How did it grow up like this?"

Xu Qinghuan found it amusing. "What?"

"Like a skinned rat."

Jiang Xingbing was furious and kicked him, "What nonsense are you talking about? All newborn babies look like this. You were uglier than her when you were born."

Jiang Xingye easily dodged it, "How could that be!"

He would never let Xu Qinghuan have that kind of impression of him. How could he be so ugly?
Jiang Xingye wanted to hold the baby, but Jiang Xingbing wouldn't let him, saying, "If you want to hold the baby, go give birth yourself!"

He held the child and coaxed, "Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. Our Sanya is very beautiful, more beautiful than a flower."

Tian Jinhua said, "Don't call her Sanya anymore, call her Sanbao, or Nannan. I think Nannan sounds nice. Her aunt calls her Nannan, so let's call her Nannan."

Er Ya leaned closer and said, "Mom, I don't want to be called San Ya either, it sounds awful. I'm going to school soon, and my classmates will laugh at me."

Jiang Xingbing said, "Let your uncle name you. He gave your sister Lan Yin such a beautiful name, let him name you something nice too."

Xu Qinghuan laughed.

Jiang Xingye gently pinched her cheek. "You're still young. I can read a few words. You won't help me, and you're still laughing!"

After getting married, Jiang Xingye's personality changed a lot.

He no longer thinks about things like that as before; now his only thought is how to make money. He has a wife and will soon have children. He wants to make sure they eat well, dress well, and live a good life.

Xu Qinghuan grasped his wrist; it was thick and hard, exuding a strong sense of strength.

"At least you graduated from junior high school. Lan Yin is a nice name, really. She's better at choosing names than I am," Xu Qinghuan said with a smile.

Jiang Xingye took the junior high school graduation exam in the first half of this year and got full marks in math, physics, and chemistry, as well as near full marks in Chinese. He successfully obtained his graduation certificate.

Jiang Xingye thought for a long time and named his eldest daughter Jiang Zhiyin and his second daughter Jiang Huiyin.

Then teach the two children to write their own names.

Daya is already in school and learning is not difficult for her. Erya is not in school, but her name has a lot of strokes. She couldn't write it after writing it for a long time and got so angry that she cried. She said that her uncle was biased and gave her such a difficult name.

Zhou Guizhi gave Grandma Hu a big red envelope with five yuan inside.

As Grandma Hu left the Jiang family's house, everyone asked, "Where did Jin Hua come from? What did she give birth to?"

"Could it be another girl?"

Grandma Hu had spent half her life as a midwife and had seen countless parents who favored sons over daughters. Some even threw their daughters into the mountains or rivers. Hearing this, she said, "The Jiang family didn't dislike their daughter, so why are you all helping them to dislike her?"

"You don't mind? You don't mind how big the red envelope I gave you?"

"Five yuan, is that too little? When your son was born, you only gave him fifty cents. Your son isn't even worth as much as the youngest daughter of the Jiang family!"

"I didn't have any money! If I had money, I would have given you fifty!"

Someone nearby laughed and said, "Mind your own business. You're worried that the Jiang family won't be able to have a son. Their second son's wife is pregnant, and Jiang Xiaowu just got married. Maybe they're both pregnant too."

At night, Xu Qinghuan was pinned to the bed, Jiang Xingye's strong arms braced on either side of her, sweat rolling down his face as he stared into her dazed eyes. "Second brother won't let me hold Nannan today, he's bullying me!"

Xu Qinghuan gripped his muscular shoulders, feeling a bit weak, "Then...you...like...what? Ah!"

Happy reading, my dears!
