Chapter 16
After reaching an agreement with Xiao Zhen, Su Jin did what he said and stayed in the back house to take care of his baby.
In the final analysis, Xiao Zhen cared too much about Feng Shi, and Su Jin had no need to have conflicts with him for the three-month business.
Archer moved to the front yard, probably to deepen the enthusiasm of the boy's children for military officers. Xiao Zhen took Archer to the military camp every day to teach him the boy's kung fu. The first time he was a master for a child, Xiao Zhen was not sure about the importance. Archer was a child who kept everything in his heart. No matter how hard or tired he was, he insisted on it. After he got home, he did not complain to his mother until he fell ill and could not get up in the morning.
Xiao Zhen and Su Jin were both worried. They invited a doctor to find out that the boy was overwhelmed and overdrawn his physical strength.
Looking at the pale face of his son in the quilt, Su Jin felt very distressed.
Xiao Zhen blamed himself and said guiltily: "I have no guidance, so I would like to forgive my brother and sister."
If it were his own man, Su Jin would have scolded Xiao Zhen long ago, but when dealing with outsiders, he could not do it casually.
"You are so serious, and you didn't mean it." Su Jin turned his head and said sincerely, "It's hard to learn kung fu, and a strict teacher will be a good disciple. You have to take care of it in the future. Don't indulge Archer because of this."
When Xiao Zhen heard this, he suddenly felt that this woman was very reasonable most of the time.
Archer's minor illness actually made the remaining unhappiness between the two disappear completely.
At the end of June, Archer entered the school to study, and Xiao Zhen personally sent the boy over and repeatedly told the teacher to teach him carefully. Most of the children in the school came from ordinary people. They knew that Archer was the adopted son of Lord Xiao, the commander-in-chief, and did not dare to bully Archer. He was a little worldly and tried every means to be friends with Archer.
Archer was sensitive by nature. Although he was young, he could tell who was sincere and who was kind. After a month, he only handed over two friends.
In Su Jin's opinion, there were already many two people. On holiday in the school, other mothers were afraid that their children would go out and be naughty. Su Jin highly encouraged Archer to go and play with friends or invite them to visit Xiao's house. It was different when they had friends. Although Archer still had a taciturn personality, his face was less and less gloomy and he looked very steady.
Sometimes Xiao Zhen would take Archer to hunt with him. Xiao Zhen was so majestic that he was superb. The more Archer saw him, the more he admired him. When he went home and mentioned Lord Xiao's archery technique to his mother, his eyes were bright.
Su Jin pinched the little guy's face and smiled: "Arche will study hard and be both civil and military in the future."
Archer nodded vigorously.
The days in the back house are quiet, and September is unknowingly.
Su Jin's belly was round and Xiao Zhen was frightened every time he saw it, not daring to approach her, for fear that he would touch her with thick hands and feet. On this day, the doctor came to take his pulse again. Su Jin sat in the main seat with a smile, and Xiao Zhen sat on the other side. The two adults and Archer, who was guarding Su Jin, were staring at the doctor's fingers.
After the pulse was taken, the doctor touched his beard and said, "It should be aborted around the eighth day of the lunar month."
Xiao Zhen clenched his fists secretly, for eight days, if you endure for eight days, you won’t have to worry anymore.
Su Jin was not too worried. It was only when she was pregnant with Archer that time. She vomited whatever she had eaten in the first three months, and had seen Hong. She lay in bed for more than ten days before she escaped danger. Later, she was sore and weak in her legs. She couldn't sleep well at night, but she tortured her and Feng Shi. When she was born, she felt more like she had passed the gates of hell.
Compared with my brother, the dick in my belly is so obedient, Su Jin didn't even feel the strong morning sickness, and the older women around me all said that the second time was much easier than the first time, and it didn't hurt that much.
Therefore, Xiao Zhen tossed and turned at night, and Su Jin would sleep as he should.
On the night of the seventh day of the lunar month, Su Jin suddenly woke up. The room was dark, and I don’t know when it was.
The mattress was wet, and my stomach hurt.
Su Jin was quite calm and called out to Aunt Liu who had been sleeping with her recently: "Auntie, I'm going to give birth, go and invite a midwife."
In just a short while, the lights were on in the backyard and the kitchen. I went to the front yard to notify the water, and went to the kitchen to boil water.
Xiao Zhen jumped up in the front yard.
"Sir, my sister-in-law is going to give birth!"
Chuntao's excited and nervous voice came from outside the window. Xiao Zhen's heart was beating, and he immediately jumped out of bed and quickly put on his clothes.
He was dressed neatly, Archer ran out in just his shirt and headed straight for the backyard.
Xiao Zhen couldn't help but follow a few steps, but remembering his identity, Xiao Zhen turned back to the main hall, sat on the Grand Master's chair with his fists, and waited majestic for the news. Aunt Liu, Chuntao and other female relatives all went to the backyard. Although everyone cared about Su Jin's child, they could only stay in the front yard and wait for news.
From midnight to dawn, Su Jin was not born yet for three hours.
Xiao Zhen's sword eyebrows became deeper and deeper.
Just as he was about to suppress the anxiety in his heart and wanted to stand up and walk around, a loud baby cry suddenly rang out of the backyard.
Xiao Zhen's eyes were inexplicably sour. His good brother Feng Shi finally had a back-up. His crying was so loud that it must be a son, right?
Xiao Zhen stepped out of the main hall.
Chuntao was sent by Aunt Liu to congratulate: "Sir, my sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter for Brother Feng!"
Xiao Zhen’s smile was slightly stiff. He turned out to be a daughter?
Xiao Zhen could not control his disappointment. Archer was not Feng Shi's seed, this was his daughter again...
My daughter is just a daughter, and she always keeps incense.
In the backyard, Su Jin's hair was soaked and she was in good spirits. The midwife brought the clean little girl to her and showed it to her.
Su Jin tilted his head and saw that his daughter in the cradle had black and thick hair, and her face was wrinkled and like a little monkey. She couldn't tell who she looked like.
Su Jin could see it clearly.
Aunt Liu was watching from the side, and saw tears gradually flashing in Su Jin's eyes. He guessed that Su Jin wanted to die, and the woman who was in confinement could not cry. Aunt Liu hurriedly interrupted and said, "Sir, have been waiting all night, I'll carry it over and show it to the adults."
Su Jin nodded.
Aunt Liu left with her baby in her arms, and her new brother Archer followed her without hesitation.
Seeing the baby doll that Aunt Liu brought over, it seemed that it was not as big as his hand. Xiao Zhen, who saw a newborn baby for the first time, was really scared. In addition, the child looked so good... Xiao Zhen did not dare to look carefully. Aunt Liu encouraged him to hug him, and Xiao Zhen refused to hug him. He asked Aunt Liu to quickly carry her back to the backyard on the grounds that the child was too young.
Aunt Liu was so amused and crying.
Xiao Zhen despised the ugly girl, but Archer didn't despise her. Every day when he came back from school, he would run to the backyard and lie on the kang to watch his little sister.
Aunt Liu took Xiao Zhen to see every few days. Xiao Zhen still thought the girl was small and ugly and dared not hold her.
After so many times, Aunt Liu was quite boring, so she simply stopped hugging her.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, and the girl's baby would be in a few days. Su Jin meant that the three of them would celebrate with Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu simply. Aunt Liu said no: "Aman is your daughter, and he is also the adopted daughter of the adult. He did not consider the busy military affairs. I will remind him that he will hold a full moon banquet for Aman."
Aman is the nickname Su Jin gave to his daughter. I hope the little girl will be full of life and not be like her miserable mother.
Su Jin didn't want to bother Xiao Zhen, but Aunt Liu took advantage of her rest and carried Aman who had just finished bubbles to the front yard.
Xiao Zhen was resting today and was reading books at home. Seeing Aunt Liu coming with a cradle in her arms, Xiao Zhen felt a sudden heart and an ugly baby appeared in his mind. Xiao Zhen was not afraid of ugly children, but Aman was too young and even scared him than Su Jin with a big belly, for fear that he would accidentally get damaged by himself, so he often avoided it like a snake or a scorpion.
"Sir, how beautiful Aman is." Aunt Liu put down the corners of the cradle and walked to Xiao Zhen to make it easier for him to see.
Xiao Zhen glanced at him reluctantly.
In the cradle, a girl named Aman opened her black phoenix eyes and looked blankly at Xiao Zhen's direction. The doll, who is almost full moon, is no longer ugly after growing up a little bit. Her face is white and tender, her mouth is pink, her eyebrows are slender, and her phoenix eyes are beautiful. She is simply a little Su Jin.
Xiao Zhen was stunned and could not understand why the ugly child he had seen with his own eyes suddenly changed.
He was stunned. Aman in the cradle suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, and his phoenix eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.
Xiao Zhen was uncontrollably, and the corners of his lips raised.
Aunt Liu explained with a smile: "Aman is so cute. Sometimes no one coaxes her. The little girl is having fun. Please hug her. In the future, Aman will also call you dad."
Call him dad?
Xiao Zhen looked at Aman again and imagined that next year, a girl would call him sweetly, and somewhere in the man's heart suddenly became soft.
He stiffly raised a pair of strong iron arms, a man with a golden sword and an iron horse, his palms were covered with calluses.
Aunt Liu taught him to hold the child.
The little girl finally fell into Xiao Zhen's arms, and was light and not as good as Xiao Zhen's winter clothes.
Xiao Zhen lowered his head.
The girl blinked her big eyes and looked at him, sometimes pursing her lips, sometimes tilting her head, sometimes smiling, revealing her pink gums.
The little girl was so attractive that Xiao Zhen couldn't help but want to touch the tender face, and his thick and long fingers slowly approached.
Aman waited obediently.
Xiao Zhen rolled his throat and touched it gently.
Aman grinned.
Xiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and his body, which had been stiff for a long time, finally relaxed.
Aunt Liu seized the opportunity and instigated: "Sir, Ah Man Moon is the eighth day of the lunar month. Jin Niang said we'll have a table and a banquet, and it's lively. What do you think?"
No matter how hard Xiao Zhen is, he knows that the child is full moon and arresting Zhou is a big deal. Look at the little girl in his arms and his adopted daughter. Xiao Zhen immediately made a decision: "The full moon wine must be done. Brothers and sisters should not work hard at this time. You discuss with Uncle Liu to plan a post and send it tomorrow. All those who should be prepared will be prepared."
Aunt Liu was so happy that she bent down to hug Aman while agreeing: "Okay, I'll tell Jinniang now."
As she said that, her hand had already touched the swabbing.
Xiao Zhen's arm became stiff again, and he had not yet hugged his warm goddaughter.
Aunt Liu didn't notice it and left with her girl doll in her arms.
