Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Ever since Sha Zhu refused to go on a blind date, Xu Damao stopped being so naughty. He followed Li Jianjun to work every day and occasionally went out to watch movies. Lou Xiao'e came to Li Jianjun's house every day to accompany Han Chunyaner. Because of Han Chunyaner, Lou Xiao'e didn't always go to the deaf old lady's house like in the TV series.

There were no major incidents in the yard, but there were constant small ones. Jia Zhang and Banggeng were still stealing, and Qin Huairu couldn't control them. Xiaodang was very well-behaved, and even Xiao Huaihua was very cute, babbling all the time, and was very close to Li Jianjun. Xiaodang sometimes even felt jealous.

I don't know what Yi Zhonghai said to Sha Zhu recently. Sha Zhu stopped going on blind dates and started to hang around Qin Huairu, which made Qin Huairu very annoyed. But Sha Zhu really helped their family a lot and provided her family with a lot of meat. Otherwise, with Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng's tempers, there would have been a big fight long ago.

Time passed quickly and Han Chunyan's due date arrived. Li Jianjun sent her to the hospital just in case.

After work that day, Li Jianjun came to the hospital with food, and Lou Xiaoe was still there: "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard, and come to accompany Chunyaner every day. I don't have time to accompany her at work. If it weren't for sister-in-law, she would be bored."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Chun Yan'er and I are good sisters. I'm bored at home alone. Okay, now that you're here, I should go back."

Han Chunyan sat up and was about to say something when she suddenly covered her stomach and said, "Ouch, Jianjun, my stomach hurts. I might be giving birth soon. Hurry, call a doctor."

Li Jianjun was shocked. Giving birth is a big deal now, so he rushed out of the ward immediately: "Doctor, doctor, my wife is about to give birth, come quickly."

The doctor quickly sent Han Chunyan to the delivery room. For the first time, Li Jianjun felt a little anxious and didn't know what to do. He paced back and forth at the door of the delivery room.

Lou Xiao'e was still calmer: "Jianjun, stay calm now and notify them quickly!" Lou Xiao'e knew that Li Huaide and his wife came to see Han Chunyaner every now and then.

Li Jianjun calmed down: "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, go back to find Brother Damao and ask him to go to my mother-in-law's house to inform her. He knows where she is. Also, go to the hospital and call my uncle and tell him that Chunyan is about to give birth. Here is her phone number. I can't leave either. I'm afraid something might happen." As he spoke, Li Jianjun handed Lou Xiao'e a phone number.

Lou Xiao'e took the number without hesitation. She first called Li Huaide in the hospital, then rode her bicycle home to inform Xu Damao, and returned to the hospital after finishing her business.

After about an hour, everyone came: "Jianjun, what's going on? Has Chunyaner given birth?" Li Huaide and Wang Xia asked.

Li Jianjun was also anxious: "Not yet, uncle. He's been in there for an hour and a half. Nothing will happen, right?"

Aunt Han was calm and advised, "Don't worry, Jianjun, you have to stay calm. It's normal to give birth in three or four hours, and some may even take all night." Even as she advised, her hands were still shaking.

A group of people waited at the door of the delivery room until a cry made everyone feel relieved.

Another half an hour passed, and the nurse opened the door holding a baby. Everyone gathered around, and Li Jianjun was the first to ask, "Nurse, how is my wife?"

The nurse was a little surprised. It was the first time she had ever met someone who asked about the mother first. Others would first care about whether it was a boy or a girl. She immediately took a liking to Li Jianjun: "Don't worry, your wife is fine. She's just a little exhausted. She's fallen asleep now. She'll be sent back to the ward soon. Congratulations on having a baby girl."

Li Jianjun was relieved to hear that everything was fine. He cast his eyes on the baby in the nurse's arms. The baby was wrinkled, but Li Jianjun just liked it. Aunt Han was afraid that Li Jianjun would be unhappy when she heard that it was a girl, because everyone wants a son these days. But seeing that Li Jianjun did not show any disgust, but instead had eyes full of doting, she finally felt relieved.

Li Huaide didn't say anything. Li Jianjun and Han Chunyan were still young, so they could just have another child. A girl would be good, and a son would make a good family.

Seeing that no one was disgusted by the fact that she was a girl, the nurse's impression of this family improved a lot: "Okay, I'll just bring her out for you to see. The little one will be sent back with her mother in a while."

In the room, Han Chunyan and the child were sent back. Everyone stayed and gathered around to look at the child. Wang Xia had no children, so she loved this granddaughter even more. Li Huaide was also happy. After all, the Li family had an heir.

Han Chunyan regained some strength and woke up. Li Jianjun sat next to her and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear wife."

Han Chunyan smiled and said, "It is natural for women to give birth to children. Where is the child? Let me take a look."

Li Jianjun carefully held the child and placed him next to Han Chunyan: "Look after the child first. You were exhausted just now. I'll heat up some food for you, and some chicken soup, so you can recover."

Seeing that Li Jianjun was about to go to work, everyone said goodbye: "Jianjun, take good care of Chunyaner. We will go back first. It's getting late."

Li Jianjun looked at his watch and it was already ten o'clock: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, everyone go back and have a rest."

Everyone left, leaving only Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e: "Brother Damao, you should go back too, it's getting late."

Xu Damao was a little excited: "Brother, we agreed that this child must recognize me as his godfather."

Lou Xiao'e chimed in: "Yes, I'm her godmother, I can't take care of her for so long in vain."

Li Jianjun looked at them gratefully and said, "Okay, we'll hold a family recognition banquet together when the baby is one month old."

Although he had said before that he wanted to adopt the child as his godparent, he was relieved only after he made the promise: "It's a deal, I'm going to make a longevity lock for my goddaughter. Ezi, come and accompany Chunyan'er when you have nothing to do during the day."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes: "Do you need me to tell you this? She is also my goddaughter."

Seeing that the matter was over, Li Jianjun persuaded them to go back: "Okay, you go back and come back tomorrow morning. Oh, and bring us breakfast. I won't go back."

Xu Damao said happily: "Don't worry, I will send Ezi over tomorrow morning and bring breakfast to you." After that, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e left.

Li Jianjun fed Han Chunyan the hot soup mouthful by mouthful. There was no one around. If there was someone else around, Han Chunyan would definitely not dare to do that. Han Chunyan looked at Li Jianjun and smiled gently. This was the sweetness that belonged to the couple.

The next morning, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were about to go out when Yan Bugui stopped them: "Da Mao, Chunyan gave birth?"

Xu Damao replied happily: "Yes, Uncle Third, the baby is born. Didn't Yan Jiecheng tell him when he opened the door last night?"

Yan Bugui was also happy: "Hey, isn't this kid still awake?"

Xu Damao understood: "A daughter was born. I will send Ezi over now and bring them breakfast. Uncle San will not say anything more. I am leaving now."

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "Go ahead. I'll ask your third aunt to go over there later. She came back so early yesterday that she didn't even know Chunyan had given birth."

After saying that, Yan Bugui returned home and said, "Old lady, Chunyan'er has given birth to a girl. Don't talk nonsense when you go over there later, okay?"

The third aunt nodded: "Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense. Besides, Jianjun doesn't seem to be a man who favors boys over girls."

Yan Bugui shook his head: "Who knows? Anyway, just don't talk nonsense."
