Chapter 49
The midwife continued to help Chen Qingqing press her stomach before allowing Chen Qingqing to rest.
Chen Qingqing, who had been tired for a day and a night, was not sleepy at all. She said to her mother who was standing by the bed: "Mom, I want to see the child."
It was just a mess, and she was taken outside by her midwife before she could see her daughter clearly.
Chen smiled and said, "Mom, let Zhongchang come in now."
Chen Qingqing stared at the door of the inner room without turning around.
Shortly after Chen left, the curtain was opened, Li Zhi came in, holding the cradle in his arms. He raised his head, Li Zhi saw the little wife on the bed, wearing a big red forehead on her head, which made her cheeks look as white as sheep's breasts, and her almond eyes were glossy and bright... the child in her arms.
The room was filled with a faint smell of blood, which was proof of her hard work all night.
Li Zhi speeded up his pace.
Chen Qingqing was anxious: "You go slowly." What if you stumble and fall down your child?
Li Zhi laughed. If he was so stupid that he threw his precious daughter, he would really not have to go out to see people in the future.
"I still have the strength to control me, it seems you don't feel any pain anymore." Li Zhi teased while sitting next to the bed.
Chen Qingqing immediately glared at him: "Why doesn't it hurt? Why don't we try changing our identities?" She worked so hard that he was still in the mood to joke about it?
Chen Qingqing's eyes were almost spitting out.
Li Zhi smiled and lowered his head, kissed her left eye gently first, and then moved to the right. Chen Qingqing had already closed her eyes, and from his careful movements, she felt a ray of tenderness that made her feel at ease and calm.
"Show me your daughter." After the gentleness, Chen Qingqing said in anticipation.
Li Zhi leaned against her so that she could see the child.
The girl in the cradle fell asleep, her eyebrows were faint, and her eyes narrowed into two thin slits. Her lips were small, and Chen Qingqing couldn't help but reach out to gesture, and found that her daughter's little mouth was not as big as her fingers.
"This hair is so good." After carefully looking at it several times, Chen Qingqing touched her daughter's black and thick fetal hair and sighed softly. After ten months of pregnancy, especially after being able to detect fetal movement, Chen Qingqing had fantasized about the appearance of the child countless times. Now she has really given birth to a baby of six pounds and five ounces. Chen Qingqing felt that it was particularly magical.
Li Zhi had been watching the child outside for a long time. At this time, he was even more attracted by his wife's gentle appearance as a mother. He kissed her on the cheek and said, "It's not in vain that I have peeled so many walnuts for you with my own hands."
With one sentence, Chen Qingqing brought her a few months ago. It was cold and cold at that time. When she heard from her elders that eating more walnuts and children's hair was good, she asked the maids to get a large pot of walnuts. Because she thought Li Zhi was too comfortable and relaxed, Chen Qingqing asked Li Zhi to peel it for her. Li Zhi didn't resist and honestly picked up a lot of them for her.
Well, even his daughter's good hair is his credit.
"Why can't you tell who you look like?" Chen Qingqing asked in confusion after looking at the child for a while.
Li Zhi smiled: "My mother-in-law said she looked like you."
Chen Qingqing was a little happy when she heard this, but she also understood and snorted: "My mother has only seen the way I looked when I was born. Of course, she felt like me, what about grandmother, what about her? "
Li Zhi smiled slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to lie, but the old lady left disappointed, but she left immediately when she learned that she was a great-granddaughter. This matter could not be kept for long for the young wife.
"My grandmother hasn't seen the child yet, so she's back to rest." Li Zhi held the cradle with one hand and put the other on her shoulder.
Chen Qingqing didn't know what was going on outside, and she thought that Mrs. Zhu had left early, so she didn't ask much.
But this matter cannot be avoided. Li Zhi rubbed her side face and sighed: "Qingqing, I am not young and the only son of the eldest son, so my grandmother has always hoped that we will be a man in one go. Now we have a daughter. My grandmother may be depressed for a while when she is disappointed. You should go to confinement well and don't care about that."
Chen Qingqing was so happy that she had been staying there for the past half day, and only then did she remember this.
Strangely, Chen Qingqing had also hoped to have a son before, but when she saw her daughter, Chen Qingqing had long forgotten the difference between men and women.
He raised his head, Chen Qingqing stared at the husband in front of him and said, "I am unhappy when I have given birth to a daughter, what about you?"
Li Zhi looked at his daughter's little face and sighed: "I am of course happy that my daughter will be snatched away by her son-in-law in more than ten years, but I am not very happy."
Chen Qingqing burst into laughter. He had just given birth to his daughter, and he thought of his son-in-law. He was too worried about this.
"As long as you gave birth to a piglet, I'm happy." Li Zhi suddenly said in her ear.
Chen Qingqing immediately spat him: "You are just a pig..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi blocked his mouth.
Worried that she had a fetal aura, Li Zhi hadn't kissed his little wife for a long time, so she couldn't help but feel affectionate. Chen Qingqing's feelings were different. As soon as she was a little moved, she suddenly felt hot. Chen Qingqing was so scared that she hurriedly avoided Li Zhi's face and nervously asked him to call his midwife in, worried that she would bleed heavily.
This matter is extraordinary, Li Zhi immediately went out in stern manner.
The midwife came in to check Chen Qingqing, smiled and said it was okay, and explained to Chen Qingqing everything that might happen during the confinement period.
With a false alarm, Chen Qingqing finally felt tired, so she glanced at her daughter and fell asleep.
The child was taken care of by the wet nurse. Chen Qingqing slept very well this time, and it was already noon the next day when she woke up again.
Hungry, Chen Qingqing drank a large bowl of red date porridge.
Li Zhi came to see her, and the wet nurse behind her was holding the child.
"What's the nickname?" Chen Qingqing took the child and liked it the more she looked at it.
Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Everyone said that a bad reputation is easy to support, so just call him Niu Niu." Niu Niu, a few Niu Niu could appear in the pile of children on the street.
Chen Qingqing didn't like such a rustic name very much. Just as she was about to refute, she saw her daughter in her arms suddenly open her eyes! Her shiny black eyes were so cute!
"Look, open your eyes!" Chen Qingqing called Li Zhi in surprise.
Li Zhi had seen it a long time ago and was full of energy: "It seems that my daughter likes the nickname I gave her very much."
Chen Qingqing:...
She didn't believe this, but as Li Zhi started calling Niu Niu to his daughter, Niu Niu Niu seemed to be quite comfortable, and Chen Qingqing also started shouting.
Not long after, everyone in the Li family came to see the child, but only Jiang Yiyue came to Wanfutang, and the figure of Old Lady Zhu was not seen.
Jiang Yiyue whispered: "Sister-in-law, the old lady is tired after waiting for too long last night and is a little uncomfortable. She will come to see you when she gets better."
After saying that, Jiang Yiyue looked at Chen Qingqing pitifully, looking worried that Chen Qingqing would be angry.
Chen Qingqing already knew what happened last night. At first, she was very angry for a moment, but she thought that she didn’t give birth to a child for Mrs. Zhu. It’s enough for her daughter to have her to like. What does Mrs. Zhu want to do with her?
"It's time for us to visit the old lady." Chen Qingqing said with a little guilty conscience.
Li Zhi was sitting next to him. He knew that his little wife was just talking casually and was not sincerely respecting the old lady, but he was already very satisfied with his little wife's cultivation. After all, he couldn't even stand what the old lady did.
Chen Qingqing rested in the afternoon, and Li Zhi went to Wanfu Hall.
Zhu the old lady was lying on the couch, listless, Jiang Yiyue knelt on one side and gently rubbed her legs.
"Brother Zhongchang." Seeing Li Zhi, Jiang Yiyue said hello and was about to go to the ground.
"Where are you going?" Old Mrs. Zhu called her and pointed at her back and said, "Hand sore, give me a blow."
Jiang Yiyue had no choice but to move behind Mrs. Zhu, lowered her head and beat her, and was obediently like a little maid.
Only then did the old lady Zhu raise her eyes and glance at her grandson lazily: "If you don't accompany them well, why do you come to me for your sake?"
Li Zhi said in a gentle voice: "I heard Yiyue say that my grandmother was not feeling well, so I'll come and take a look."
Old Mrs. Zhu browed in sorrow and sighed: "I'm nothing, I'm just old and anxious to hold my great-grandson. Alas, Qingqing is a good child, and she didn't have a chance last night. Grandma didn't blame her. When grandma recovered, she would go to see her and Niu Niu."
Li Zhi sat next to the old lady and smiled and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, you will bloom first and then bear fruit. We will give you a big fat great-grandson after giving birth."
The old lady Zhu looked a little slow and asked about the situation between Chen Qingqing and her mother in a caring tone.
Li Zhi felt relieved when he saw that the old lady was willing to do face work.
