Cries of pain ca from inside the room, Xu Mumu shivered, giving birth is so terrifying, it’s better not to get married.
Basins of bloody water were carried out, the water Xu Mumu had boiled was now put to good use.
After a long ti, a faint cry of a newborn was heard, everyone perked up, finally, the baby was born.
Xu Mumu also ran over to see, the baby was in Xu He’s arms, the baby was so small, and the cry was weak.
It was a boy, which made everyone in the second household smile, even Old Xu was quite pleased.
Doctor Chu examined the baby, he was just weak, and would need careful nurturing in the future.
The second household still had so savings, Xu Xue was very fond of this little brother; with this child, her parents wouldn’t feel as inferior in the Old Xu Family as before.
But the little brother was weak, and now that she had so money, she can earn more in the future to definitely raise him to be strong and healthy.
When Chu Jin was leaving, Xu Xue took out a red envelope and gave it to Chu Jin.
Chu Jin was skilled in acupuncture, and a few tis it was Chu Jin who saved Qian Ying when she was in danger.
Chu Jin looked at the red envelope in his hand, smiled, and directly put it away and left the Xu Family.
The newborn baby was wrinkled and very tiny, Xu Jiaojiao and the others were surrounding the baby looking at him.
Xu Mumu went to check, the little fellow was placed beside Qian Ying, whose face was very pale, everything here was already done, Madam Chen simply washed a bit and then went to rest, after working hard for half a day, she was also tired, fortunately, the grandson was born safely.
With one more child in the second household, everyone there was very happy, though the child was a bit hard to care for.
This child was weak, and when he cried it sounded like a cat, that small fra made Xu Mumu wonder if he could be raised well.
Soon, Xu Mumu didn’t have much ti to pay attention to the child in the second household, as a few days later, Li Caixia also went into labor.
This day happened to be a Saturday, Xu Mumu was at ho, she was in her room reading a book, when Li Caixia called out in pain; fortunately, the family was there, and they started to prepare everything that was needed.
Li Caixia had a natural birth, and her body was much stronger compared to Qian Ying’s.
With Madam Chen overseeing, it didn’t take much ti at all before the child was born.
Xu Mumu was one of the first to go see, the little guy was also a boy, although equally wrinkled, Madam Chen even weighed him after birth, he weighed over six pounds, while the second household’s child was only a bit over four pounds, quite a big difference.
Moreover, every ti this child cried, he was full of vigor, making Madam Chen and others extrely fond of him.
Soon, the nas of the two children were decided, as the most educated person in the family, Xu Mumu had the honor of naming the two children, the one from the second household was nad Xu Ankang, and their own child was nad Xu Mingfeng, the three boys of the first household clearly looked like brothers.
For the child in the second household, the family just hoped he could grow up healthy and strong.
Xu Mumu’s family had a baby brother, which Du Yu found out about and sent over so nutritional products to them.
The little guy had plenty of milk and was healthy, gradually filling out, looking fair and tender, Xu Mumu enjoyed holding him very much.
The child in the second household was taken care of by the Xu Xue sisters, Xu Mumu did go and see him a few tis, the child was still so frail.
On the weekend, Xu Minghui ca back and saw a new little brother, he bought a lot of small clothes and so milk powder, Aunt also had him bring back a lot of things, knowing that both sisters-in-law in the family had given birth.
What Xu Qingxing sent back included malted milk essence and a bunch of clothes Qin Dongdong could no longer wear, so of which, although patched, were quite good, and the better ones could be altered into small clothing, while those not so great could be cut into diapers, all perfectly fine.
With one more child in the second household, Xu Xue put her business aside again.
With that pile of old clothes sent back by Xu Qingxing, the first and second households divided them up.
Whenever Li Caixia had ti, she would alter those clothes, and although her sewing wasn’t great, they were still wearable outside.
As for the clothes worn inside, during this period Xu Minghui had bought quite a few small clothes, and the fabric was quite suitable for infants.
On the second household side, Xu Xue also went to get quite a few clothes for the child and bought a lot of milk powder.
Qian Ying’s health was poor, combined with the child being premature, there wasn’t really any milk, so milk powder it was.
Luckily she had returned from rebirth, and had earned a bit of money herself, otherwise, the child certainly couldn’t have been born, and even if he had been born, at most he could only have drunk so rice soup, and it was uncertain if he could be raised to adulthood.
Xu Xue also went to see the child from the first household, compared to their own brother, that child was really too healthy, which made her feel a deep pang every ti she saw her little brother.
Old Xu Family suddenly gained two grandsons, which caught the attention of a few people in the brigade.
The great-uncle’s family, upon knowing about the two new births, sent over so food.
The great-uncle’s family really envied Old Xu’s branch, they really had so many children, while their side only had one.
Xu Mumu held a rattle in front of the little fellow, shaking it. The little guy had already gotten quite familiar with his sister, and now that Xu Mumu was holding him, he didn’t cry at all.
If only he had strength in his hands, the little guy would have wanted to reach out and grab the rattle from Xu Mumu’s hand.
"Sis, look, the grasshopper Grandpa made for brother." Xu Minglei ca in from outside, holding a lively looking grasshopper made of palm leaves in his hand.
"Quite nice," Xu Mumu said with a smile.
Xu Minglei placed the grasshopper in his brother’s hand, the little guy grabbed it tightly, not a bit afraid.
"Grandpa can make other things too," Xu Minglei said happily, when he was smaller, Old Xu had made him lots of little gadgets to play with.
With a new younger brother in the family, the happiest was Xu Minglei, he was finally not the youngest anymore, now, aside from his sister, his favorite was this little brother.
If the brother wasn’t so small, he would have wanted to take him to bed with him.
"Mumu, check if his diaper is wet," Xu Hai’s voice ca from the room.
Xu Mumu checked the little guy’s diaper, it wasn’t wet, so she held him to let him pee; from the initial unfamiliarity, now she was already adept at it.
The little guy was well-behaved, soon he peed, then she wiped him clean and wrapped him up in the diaper again.
Comparatively, the child from the first household was easier to care for, while the one from the second wasn’t; he was weak and couldn’t drink much milk powder. He also cried so much that he often hiccuped.
