Chapter 174 The Birth of a Bang Geng
The mother and son of the Jia family were waiting anxiously. This child was the first male of the next generation of the Jia family and was very important to their family.
It wasn’t that Old Jia died early, and Mrs. Jia Zhang also wanted to give birth to five sons... Who could have thought that Old Jia would die young.
"Mom, have you asked someone to name your eldest grandson?"
"It's ready. You're the only one in our Jia family, so we are really small. Hu Banxian said that we should give the child a name that will help him take root. He calculated for us and named the first child Banggeng."
Jia Dongxu always felt something strange after hearing the name.
"Banggeng? What does this name mean?"
Jia Zhang frowned slightly: "Hu Banxian said that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. I spent two cents for this name!"
Ma Lan, who was sitting between the two of them, was in such a stomachache that she was in pain. She was in no mood to listen to the mother and son's nonsense. It was just a name, call her whatever you want! She didn't have the time to argue with her...
……
At eight o'clock in the evening, the baby Bang Geng, who had troubled Ma Lan for several hours, was finally born.
When the Jia mother and son saw the baby was born safely, they excitedly clasped their hands together and thanked God.
"Old Jia, your spirit is in heaven. The Jia family finally has a grandson."
Looking at her eldest grandson in the cradle, Jia Zhang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Jia Dongxu stayed by Ma Lan's side... His wife almost lost her life in a few hours, and Jia Dongxu felt distressed. After all, one night of love means a hundred days of love, and more importantly, they can start after the full month... She was really depressed in the past few months.
Ma Lan said weakly: "Dongxu, go to the Ma family tomorrow to report that you are safe. Let my brother and sister-in-law rest assured..."
"Hey, I'll go early tomorrow morning... Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are two days off, I'll hold my son in my arms and show him to you first."
Banggeng's arrival is the happiest thing for the Jia family in the past two months. The vegetable cellar incident was followed by the abortion incident. The Jia family became famous in Nanluoguxiang... It will take at least ten or eight years to erase the past.
……
Early next morning
After Qin Huairu said hello to Bai Ling, the three of them went out together and rushed to Xiajia Hutong.
At this time, the bored Bai Ling started to have random thoughts again. What Qin Huairu said yesterday about recognizing her as her older sister... gave Bai Ling a bold idea, but after thinking for a long time, she shook her head again.
"I am a director and a cadre. How can I follow the example of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi and hang around like that? If I am discovered by others...how can I, a girl, survive? His bright future will also be ruined..."
After thinking it over, Bai Ling sighed and went out to prepare the ingredients for dinner... Everyone has selfish desires, and Bai Ling thought, let's take it one step at a time!
……
Xiajia Hutong
Lou Xiao'e also came to join in the fun early in the morning... When she saw Liu Lan, her self-esteem was greatly hit. This older sister was only three years older than her, but she was much more developed than her... All the good food and drink she had received were in vain. She only grew taller but not fat.
Lou Xiao'e sneaked into the kitchen to find out the news.
"Sister Lan, what do you usually eat? Why are yours... yours so big, and mine is just a tiny bit smaller."
Lou Xiao'e pointed at Liu Lan's...
Liu Lan giggled as she looked at the beautiful Lou Xiao'e.
"My family is very poor. We only have two meals a day. Sometimes we are only half full after those two meals... I can only eat one steamed bread per meal. This is genetic, not something I eat. And when I was your age, I was about the same size as you. I have grown up suddenly in the past two years. Don't worry, you will grow up in two years..."
After hearing what Liu Lan said, Lou Xiao'e finally felt relieved... and started helping her pick the vegetables.
Liu Lan was here for the first time today. When she saw Wen Li and Liang Ladi, she realized how powerful her brother Lin Chen was. He actually had four mistresses and they were all so beautiful... If she wanted to occupy a little place in his heart, it seemed that she had to work harder.
Around nine in the morning
Lin Chen brought Qin Huairu and her sister to Xia Jia Hutong. They took a walk on the street before returning.
The main reason is that Lin Chen needs to be covered before he can bring some ingredients, otherwise Qin Huairu will suspect how he got them.
Lou Xiao'e was the first to run to open the door after hearing the knock, and Liu Lan followed to pick up the things...
"Hello, Sister Huairu, I'm Liu Lan."
Qin Huairu had heard of her a long time ago, and met her for the first time today...
"Well, hello Liu Lan, just study hard with your sister Huizhen in the tavern. Don't tell anyone about our family affairs and don't show off outside."
"Oh, I remember it!"
Looking at Liu Lan's figure, Qin Huairu now seriously suspects that her brother Lin Chen is looking for a wet nurse.
……
In the hall
Qin Huairu called Liu Lan to sit down and chat with her, and they would cook together soon. Liu Lan was very touched that Qin Huairu did not treat her as a maid... and really gave her a seat.
"Thank you, Sister Huairu!"
Lin Chen took Lou Xiao'e and Xiao Jingru to the yard to play with the cat.
"I'm telling you, Brother Lin Chen can't have dinner with us tonight."
After hearing this, the few people looked at each other. Chen Xueru asked in confusion: "Does anyone still treat people to a meal during the Mid-Autumn Festival? Isn't it a day for family reunions?"
Qin Huairu told Bai Ling's story again...
The others didn't know that Liang Ladi knew about it, and she told a few people about Bai Ling's situation in the factory.
"It seems like we really need another big sister! Director Bai often goes to the medical department, so I don't dare to go there so often... I'm afraid she will get suspicious."
Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "It's the same if you come back after dinner... She has plenty of time to eat with us, but Sister Bai is different..."
Wen Li is curious about whether Bai Ling is pretty...
Liu Lan listened to several people chatting, she didn't say anything...mainly because she hadn't got the right to speak yet, and she didn't even have the chance to taste the little mouth, so how could she dare to say anything?
……
At noon, several people worked together to prepare a sumptuous meal.
"With Brother Lin Chen's personal guidance, Lanzi's cooking skills are different..."
"That's right, a good teacher produces good students!"
Dinner table
"Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and our whole family happens to be here. Let's toast... Your sister Huairu is preparing for pregnancy, so she can't drink alcohol anymore."
Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e and Xiao Jingru all drank juice instead...everyone raised their glasses together.
"Okay, okay, everyone, pick up your chopsticks! Let's try Lanzi's cooking."
When Liang Ladi and the others heard that their sister Huairu was preparing for pregnancy, they knew it would soon be their turn...they were excited just thinking about it.
Lin Chen looked at the table full of delicious food and beautiful women, which was also a pleasure in life.
"Brother Lin Chen, Ma Lan really gave birth to a son yesterday. Should we also go and send eggs to visit?"
Lin Chen shook his head and denied it: "No need, the Jia family will have a banquet to celebrate this baby. The Yan family only invites guests individually and does not hold a full-month banquet, so the nature is different. We just need to wait for our seats. Just follow the convention..."
