Chapter 291 Hey, someone with a handle!(1/2)
Chapter 292 Hey, someone with a handle!
Today is definitely a good day, Ma Guohua thought.
When he looked down at the swaddled baby, his fifty-year-old face was full of joy, and even his eyes were full of joy.
In the afternoon, as soon as he was busy with his son Jiefang's marriage in the compound, he received the news brought to him by Xu Qing's envoy from the hospital, and then he and his wife hurried to the hospital together.
My daughter Jinghong gave birth to a fat son.
Ma Guohua had a grandson again. He was overjoyed and couldn't help but miss Shu.
But now, with his grandson being held by his wife, Ma Guohua could only stand aside, smiling and narrowing his eyes, teasing the little guy who had just come into the world.
Of course, he also feels sorry for his daughter Jinghong.
At this time, Ma Jinghong was lying on the hospital bed, weak and pale, but her complexion was much better than at noon.
Xu Qing sat on the left side of the hospital bed, picked up the enamel teapot, and asked Jinghong to drink some hot water to warm up her body. It was very cold in the ward and the conditions were difficult, so she could only make do with it for the time being.
When the weather gets a little warmer tomorrow morning, he will hire a car to take his wife back home.
After all, the child has already been born, so there is no point in staying in the hospital.
It's just that it's windy outside today, and the whistling white wind keeps blowing. Xu Qing doesn't want his wife to brave the wind and go home. It would be bad if she catches a cold and feels the cold.
Furthermore, Jinghong had just given birth, so it was necessary for her and her son to stay in the hospital for observation.
If anything happens, there are nurses and doctors here at the hospital, and relatively speaking, they can treat and deal with it in time.
Xu Aiguo was also in the ward at this time. He didn't know what to do to help his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and seemed a little embarrassed.
And when I saw my little nephew being held by Ma Jinghong’s mother, my whole heart suddenly became quiet again.
The little girl hasn't come yet, the state-owned store is not off work at this time, and Xu Qing didn't ask his second brother to go over and inform him in advance.
Because the little girl will definitely come after get off work in the evening.
The newlyweds Ma Jiefang and Wu Yuemei are not here at the moment. They know the news of Jinghong's birth.
However, today is also their happy day. Not all their relatives and friends at home have left. Their parents have come, so they can only stay in the compound first and send off the last group of guests before coming to the hospital.
So, at around eight o'clock in the evening, Ma Jiefang and Wu Yuemei, who had changed into new clothes, stood in the ward and saw their little nephew in the arms of the little girl. Their excited faces showed happy expressions invariably.
However, the happiest ones are Xu Qing and Jing Hong. Their children are the fruit of their love. As parents, they are naturally filled with joy.
But the little girl who came to the ward after get off work in the afternoon hugged the little guy and didn't want to let go. She loved it so much that Xu Qing and Jinghong let her hold it.
Ma Jinghong's mother didn't say anything. The little girl likes her grandson. This is a good thing and she won't stop her.
But now, Wu Yuemei is standing next to the little girl, reaching out to hug her nephew.
The little girl frowned slightly, then smiled and handed the infant nephew to Wu Yuemei carefully, for fear of disturbing him who had just fallen asleep.
Wu Yuemei has several brothers and sisters in her family. How do you hold a child? Even though she just married Jiefang today, she has a lot of experience in holding children.
Holding her unnamed little nephew in her arms, Wu Yuemei lowered her head and looked at the wrinkled little face, small mouth, and small eyes, and she was suddenly overflowing with motherly love.
Ma Jiefang rubbed his hands and wanted to hug his newborn nephew, but was repelled by Wu Yuemei's look.
"Do you know how to hold a baby? We can't do it today. We'll talk about it in a few days."
Ma Jiefang stretched out his hand and scratched his head, then turned to look at his fifth sister Jinghong and brother-in-law Xu Qing for help.
Xu Qing smiled and said nothing. In fact, he hadn't hugged the baby much yet. When Jinghong and the baby came out of the delivery room, they hugged her for a while, and then her daughter-in-law kept hugging her.
Then he went to handle some things. In the afternoon, his father-in-law and mother-in-law came over, and he had no chance. Then came the little girl, and then Wu Yuemei.
Jinghong, who sat up slightly, shook her head and said, "Jiefang, listen to Yuemei and hug her again in a few days."
Ma Jiefang could only nod.
That night, Xu Qing did not go home and stayed in the ward with his wife and children. At the same time, his father-in-law and mother-in-law were also there.
Around early morning, Jinghong fell asleep on the hospital bed with her baby in her arms. Xu Qing and her father-in-law, Ma Guohua, left the ward and stood in a sheltered area downstairs of the deserted hospital. They started smoking.<
/p>
"Xu Qing, you are now a father. From now on, you must not let down my daughter and grandson."
"Dad, I understand what you are saying!"
"I know you understand, but I still have to say what I should say." Ma Guohua took a long puff of cigarette, then slowly exhaled it. Under the night, he looked at Xu Qing calmly and said:
"Dad, I just want to tell you one thing. You must not imitate Xu Damao in your courtyard. You should know and understand his character better than I do."
Xu Qing said nothing, smoked a cigarette and nodded.
At this time, the night was dark and the chill was deepening. Although the howling wind had stopped, it was still colder and freezing than during the day.
Xu Qing hadn't finished smoking a cigarette before his feet were numb from the cold.
Patiently enduring the cold, Xu Qing and his father-in-law finished smoking and then quickly returned to the ward.
That night, Xu Qing barely slept, thinking a lot and thinking for a long time.
When his younger siblings were young, he only had the status of 'eldest brother'. At that time, the burden on his shoulders was really heavy. Later, as his younger siblings grew older and the family situation gradually improved, the burden on his shoulders became a little lighter.
Some.
Later, he married Jinghong last year, adding another ‘husband’ to his identity.
But now, when a child is born, he has been upgraded to a ‘father’.
The burdens and responsibilities that had become lighter seem to be heavier again.
Especially what his father-in-law said to him in the middle of the night made Xu Qing think about it for a long time.
It wasn't until the sky outside turned from dark to dark gray, then to dark blue, and the sky gradually broke, that Xu Qing felt sleepy.
But he couldn't sleep because it was already past seven in the morning.
Xu Qing tiptoed out of the ward, tightly wrapped in a cotton jacket, and went to the hospital's water room to wash his face with ice-cold water. He suddenly woke up.
However, people are also getting colder.
The weather was cold in the early morning. The water in the water room was cold, and the clothes on his body were also cold. All kinds of coldness were intertwined together to form a chill that wrapped around Xu Qing, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Average.
However, Xu Qing's heart is warm. He has a child. It's such a big thing. No matter how cold it is, what will happen?
Hot heart, I don’t care!
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, Xu Aiguo rode over with breakfast. Xu Qing didn't eat, so he asked his wife Jinghong, his father-in-law, and his mother-in-law to eat while he and his second brother left the hospital and went to the street to hire a car.
Half an hour later, Xu Qingrang's hired car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. He and his second brother Aiguo returned to the ward and packed up their things with his mother-in-law and father-in-law. After packing, they took Jinghong and their son and they all left together.
Hospital.
At the entrance of the hospital, Xu Qing asked his daughter-in-law Jinghong to hold her son, and he, his father-in-law, and mother-in-law got into the car and left first.
He rode his father-in-law's bicycle and returned to the compound along the cold street with his second brother who was riding his own bicycle.
Four-wheeled vehicles always run faster than two-wheeled vehicles. Xu Qing and Aiguo pedaled their bicycles desperately to catch up, but still couldn't catch up.
When Xu Qing returned to the entrance of the courtyard alley, he happened to run into Shazhu and Yuyu who came to help.
In fact, Shazhu had already helped Xu Qing take things into the courtyard. Before coming out again, he handed over the rainwater together.
Silly Zhu went to the courtyard of Ma Jiefang's family yesterday to serve Ma Jiefang's wedding banquet. Not only did he get the money, Ma Guohua stuffed him with two bottles of good wine and two good cigarettes.
Silly Zhu not only earned money and things, but also drank the wedding wine of Ma Jiefang and Wu Yuemei. He was strolling in the alley early in the morning. When he saw Ma Jinghong coming back with her son in her arms, he hurriedly ran to the car parked at the entrance of the alley and took the initiative to help.
Holding something.
Firstly, it’s because of what happened yesterday.
Secondly, the relationship between Shazhu and Xu Qing has been good over the years, and the two families are relatively close.
Thirdly, he, Yu Yu, and the four Xu Qing brothers and sisters all live without their parents in the compound, so naturally they help each other a lot.
Ma Jinghong just gave birth to her baby yesterday, and she was still weak. She thanked Shazhu and, accompanied by her mother, hurried back to the compound with her son in her arms.
Although Si Zhu is not married and is single, he also knows that after a woman gives birth to a child, she has to undergo confinement. During this period, she must not catch cold, otherwise she will be in trouble if she gets the root of the disease.
But now it's winter, the weather is freezing, so Ma Jinghong should go back early, but Sha Zhu doesn't think anything is wrong.
At this moment, Xu Qing stopped his father-in-law's bicycle, took out the peony cigarettes on his body, handed one to his father-in-law Ma Guohua, and then handed one to Sha Zhu, smiling and saying:
"Brother Silly Zhu, thank you!"
"Hey, we two brothers are saying no thanks to each other. Why are we so angry? It's just an outsider."
Silly Zhu took the cigarette and held it directly in the corner of his mouth. While talking to Xu Qing, he took things from the car with both hands.
Xu Qing smiled, stretched out his hand, put the things that Silly Zhu took out, and put them on the back seat of his father-in-law's bicycle, preparing to take them back in the car.
Xu Aiguo also put the things He Yuyu carried out on the bicycle next to him.
Five minutes later, the car left. Xu Qing pushed the bicycle while pushing the bicycle with his father-in-law, Ma Guohua, and his second brother along the alley back to the compound, while chatting with the Shazhu brothers and sisters.
Silly Zhu held a thermos in his right hand, puffed on a cigarette and said to Xu Qing: "Qingzi, I forgot to look just now. Is your wife giving birth to you a son or a daughter?"
As soon as Si Zhu asked this question, He Yuyu, who was holding the quilt in his arms, was standing by with a smile on his pretty face, tilting his head, staring at Xu Qing, and said: "Brother Xu Qing, that's right, please tell me quickly."
