Chapter 425

But when the time expected by Zhong's mother came, Huang Ying's stomach did not move, and she still ate and drank normally every day.

"Did I miscalculate the time?" Zhong's mother muttered. Zhong Ruyi, who was standing next to her, fed her daughter lunch and then put her on the mat, letting her play with the little tiger by herself.

"Didn't you say you found a midwife to predict the time of delivery?" Zhong Ruyi glanced at her. A few days ago, Aunt Huang said that the midwife she found also said the delivery would be in these few days, but there was no movement from Huang Ying.

Mother Zhong was worried. "Yes, several people in the village who had given birth to six or seven children went to see her, and they all said it happened in the past few days."

But no matter how worried she was, Huang Ying's belly just didn't move. She didn't take it to heart and just continued to live her life as usual.

Can't she feel the baby in her belly?

It's just not time yet! Of course I'll leave when the time comes!

So when Kang Kang touched Huang Ying's belly and asked if she could give him a little sister, Huang Ying suddenly went into labor. Her amniotic fluid broke and wet her skirt. The wetness made her immediately shout out Zhong Laosan's name loudly, without even bothering to answer her son's words.

This time, Zhong Laosan was much more steady than the first time Kang Kang was born. At least he didn't make the embarrassing mistake of falling down after running a few steps. Instead, he calmly asked Kang Kang to go find Aunt Huang.

He carried Huang Ying to the bed and prepared everything that would be needed. Mother Zhong and Aunt Huang also came, as did the midwife.

When Zhong Ruyi returned from the orchard, she learned that Huang Ying had given birth to a boy.

On the day of the third day's bath, Zhong Ruyi carried Miaomiao over. Everyone in the room had a happy look on their faces. Her eldest sister-in-law secretly told her that the baby of her third sister-in-law would take the mother's surname.

This matter was decided when Huang Ying just got pregnant, and it was Zhong's father who brought it up first.

Father Zhong has a very good relationship with Uncle Huang, so he naturally knows what's on his mind. For so many years, Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang have been unable to give birth, and the Huang family only has one child, Huang Ying. Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, he hopes to have one that follows the Huang family surname.

But he never had the courage to say it, and he had been holding it in all these years. It was just that when Zhong's father drank with him, he would always inadvertently reveal some of it.

The general idea is that Brother Zhong, you are lucky, with many children and grandchildren, both sons and daughters, unlike this couple who don’t even have anyone to break the pot with when the time comes.

He didn't remember anything after he sobered up, but Father Zhong took it to heart.

After consulting his youngest son and daughter-in-law, they decided that regardless of whether the baby was a boy or a girl, the baby would take the mother's surname, thus fulfilling Uncle Huang's wish.

So for this third birthday celebration, Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang were even more concerned than Huang Ying, the mother. Before she gave birth, they went to the town and bought her a pair of bracelets and a pair of anklets, both made of pure gold!

Kang Kang was brought by Tiedan to Zhong Ruyi. After playing with their sister for a while, they turned around and whispered to their aunt.

"I want a younger sister." Kang Kang sighed, with a melancholy on the face of the five-year-old child that was not in line with his age.

"Oh?" Zhong Ruyi was curious, "Aren't brothers and sisters the same? My brother is also very good."

"That's different!" Kang Kang puffed up his cheeks, looking very angry, "Brother is just not as obedient as sister! Why doesn't Miaomiao cry all night? Only brother cries many times every night! I am woken up by his noise!"

Aunt Huang, who heard the three people talking, came over and touched Kang Kang's head helplessly, "You were like this when you were a child? Why do you dislike your brother's noise now?"

"Really?" Kang Kang was shocked to hear that when he was a child, he also stayed awake all night and cried all the time like his younger brother.

To be fair, the children in our family, including Lanlan, Kangkang and Miaomiao who is now chewing his fingers, are all very easy to take care of. They rarely get up at night and sleep well after being fed before going to bed.

Mother Zhong didn’t know how many times she had praised them, saying that even Cuicui and Shitou were easy to take care of when they were younger.

So the newborn brother was indeed a little noisy compared to his older brothers and sisters who were well-behaved and obedient. Now when she sits in the yard with the children, she can hear the sound of Huang Ying coaxing the children in the house, but the baby's sharp cry is still a bit annoying.

After dinner, Zhong Ruyi took Miaomiao back home. Chen Dongzhi was not at home. He was helping Zhao Xiaozheng build a house these days, and Chen's mother often went there to check on the progress.

"Da da da!" Miaomiao was holding her socks in her hand, which she had just pulled off her feet. When she was about to put them in her mouth, Zhong Ruyi saw her and snatched them away!

"You even want to taste your own stinky socks?" Zhong Ruyi scolded her with a stern face, and even her ignorant daughter couldn't help but laugh.

She picked some strawberries and mangoes from the space, washed them, and gave a strawberry to her eager-eyed daughter, letting her eat it slowly.

It was time for dinner when Chen Dongzhi came back, sweaty all over.

Miaomiao, who was chewing on half of a strawberry, stretched out her hands for him to hold her. Chen Dongzhi shook his head, "Dad will come to hold you after you take a bath, otherwise your mother will scold me."

Obviously, these words were heard by Zhong Ruyi who was cooking in the kitchen. She snorted coldly, and the man immediately went into the bathroom to take a bath.

While he was taking a shower, Chen's mother came back.

As soon as she entered the yard, the sharp-eyed Chen Miaomiao stretched out her hands and made a gesture as if she wanted a hug. She had been placed on the small wooden cart for the whole afternoon and could not get out. She could only eat the strawberries at hand. Naturally, she was excited to see people at this moment.

But Zhong Ruyi has repeatedly told everyone in the family that no matter what they do outside, they must wash their hands before holding the child. This is a mandatory rule and it is for the good of the child.

Mother Chen glanced in the direction of the kitchen and shook her head apologetically at her granddaughter, indicating that she couldn't hug her without washing her hands.

The little girl was not rescued from the cart until dinner time.

Xiaoman came back a little late, and the family waited for him to arrive before starting to eat. He said apologetically, "You guys should eat first tomorrow. There is a new teacher in the private school recently, so the get out of class time is delayed a little."

"It doesn't matter. Your studies are more important. It's more delicious when the family sits down to eat together." Zhong Ruyi comforted her with a few words, and immediately looked at Chen Miaomiao with a stern look who was not eating obediently.

It was discovered that she spit out the egg custard that Chen Dongzhi had just fed into her mouth, but her eyes were staring at the food on the table. It was obvious that the child had reached the point where she was craving for food but could not eat it.

It took him a long time to coax himself into finishing a bowl of egg custard, but after the meal he secretly climbed onto the table and ate a piece of cut mango when no one was paying attention.

As soon as Chen's mother came in, she saw something in her mouth. She tried to pick it out anxiously, but found that she had swallowed it whole.

She was a little anxious and found that the mangoes on the table had obviously been squeezed by someone, and some had fallen out of the plate.

"Winter Solstice! Winter Solstice? Ruyi?" She hurriedly called people over, fearing that the cut mango would choke her granddaughter.

Knowing that Miaomiao had eaten the mango on the table, Zhong Ruyi looked at her expression carefully. She didn't look like she was choked. Fortunately, the mangoes were not cut too big, so she shouldn't have choked.

But she still said a few words to the child, but was fooled by Chen's mother's jokes.

In the second half of the night, Zhong Ruyi kept hearing someone coughing in her sleep, and the voice sounded like Miaomiao's. When she thought of this, she suddenly woke up.

When I woke up, I realized that I was not dreaming. Miaomiao was really coughing, and it kept coughing.

She quickly woke up Chen Dongzhi, who was sleeping soundly, and asked him to get up and light the oil lamp.

The room suddenly became bright, and Miaomiao's little face sleeping in the middle was exposed. Because of the violent coughing, her face was flushed, her lips were pale, and her little eyebrows were all wrinkled together.
