Chapter 206: All the credit goes to Xia Chan
Xia Chan smiled and nodded.
"Let's go inside and talk."
Although the old lady is in good health, it is winter after all.
It's winter and it's about to snow, but it's still a bit chilly standing outside in the yard.
The wind hurt my face.
Xia Chan hurriedly helped the old man into the house.
As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I heard the soft cry of a baby.
Xia Chan raised his head and looked forward, and found the crib in front of him.
There were three children lying inside.
She screamed and walked over quickly.
"Is this the child of the eldest sister-in-law or the second sister-in-law?"
When the eldest and second sister-in-law were pregnant, it was Xia Chan who diagnosed them. So they knew that the eldest sister-in-law was pregnant with one child and the second sister-in-law was pregnant with twins.
I originally thought they hadn't given birth yet, but I didn't expect that they had already given birth.
They are all white and plump, with chubby heads and very cute.
When talking about children, the old lady smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into crescents.
"Your eldest sister-in-law's family has a son, and your second sister-in-law's family has a boy and a girl, twins!"
Because Second Sister-in-law Xie was pregnant with twins, she gave birth earlier than First Sister-in-law Xie.
Among the three children in the small bed, two seem fatter and bigger. They are the twins, a boy and a girl, who were born a month earlier from my second sister-in-law's family.
As for the other one, he is the little boy from my eldest sister-in-law’s family who is just one month old.
"Have they got any names yet Grandma?"
Xia Chan had never seen such a small baby before. It looked so cute with its chubby face.
She squatted beside the stroller, looking at them with a smile on her face.
The old lady said, "Yes, they are married. The eldest son is Xie Wenzu, the second son's brother is Xie Wenyan, and the sister is Xie Enxia."
When Xia Chan first heard the names of the two boys, she thought that her elder and second brothers were really good at naming.
Everyone in the Xie family has nice names.
But when she heard the name of her second sister-in-law's daughter, she was stunned for a moment and looked up at Xie Lin beside her.
Xie Lin held her hand and squeezed it.
The old lady naturally noticed the interaction between her grandson and his wife. She smiled and said, "Chanchan, your kindness to our Xie family cannot be described with just a name."
Just as Xia Chan thought, Xie Enxia meant that she had done a favor to the Xie family.
Xia Chan didn't know what to say for a moment.
The old lady continued, "Originally, I was supposed to wait for you to come back and choose the names for them, but I didn't know when you would come back, so I took the initiative and chose them for them."
The Xie family remembers Xia Chan's kindness and usually follows Xia Chan's opinions on important matters.
The naming should have waited.
As long as Xia Chan comes back before the child is one month old, Xia Chan will definitely name the child.
But unfortunately, Xia Chan never came back, and they have a saying that the child must be named before the full moon, so that everything will go smoothly in the future.
So the old lady named her three great-grandchildren.
After listening to the old lady's explanation, Xia Chan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Grandma, the name you gave me is very nice."
"If I really wait until I come back to pick a name, I may not be able to come up with such a nice name even if I rack my brains."
"You are the only one who can make me happy."
The old lady smiled from ear to ear.
Xia Chan also smiled.
The three children lying in the crib opened their eyes and listened to the sounds around them. Perhaps because they didn't hear the familiar voices of their parents, they pouted and cried after a while.
The crying seemed to be contagious.
Originally there was only one child crying.
But in the end all three children started crying.
Summer Cicada: ???
Although the child is cute, it seems a bit unbearable when he cries!
"Don't cry, little treasure. Sister will push you."
When Xie Meixian and Xie Congyue saw their younger brother and sister crying, they immediately came over and pushed a stroller, walking back and forth in the house to try to stop them from crying.
The two little girls are only nine years old, but they are already very good at taking care of their younger brother.
Even the brothers Xie Wenbo and Xie Wenjin are very good at taking care of their younger siblings.
They took out rattles and shook them to amuse their younger siblings.
You know what, the child was really coaxed into submission by them.
Seeing this, Xia Chan gave them a thumbs up.
really not bad!
She also learned from the old lady where her eldest and second sister-in-law had gone.
"Your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are feeding the chickens and pigs. Your eldest brother and second brother went to the mountains, and Wenjun went too."
It was about to snow. Although they still had a lot of grain in the cellar and the harvest was good this year, no one was dissatisfied with the food.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie, who were feeding chickens in the backyard, came back.
When they saw Xia Chan and the others, they also smiled widely.
"Sister-in-law, Third Uncle, you are back."
Mrs. Xie is as enthusiastic as ever.
The second sister-in-law was more shy and reserved. She also greeted with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Third Uncle."
The weather was cold, and even though I added hot water when feeding the pigs and chickens, my hands still got frozen red.
Xia Chan quickly took out a box of ointment from the space and asked them to wipe their hands first.
"Yun Yao has some ointment for us."
Thank you, sister-in-law.
Mrs. Xie also nodded.
Xie Yunyao, who was called, lowered her eyes shyly.
"I'm not doing well, not as good as my sister-in-law."
That ointment was made by her herself by mashing various herbs into a paste, and then filling the jars left by the summer cicadas.
Although it was effective, she knew it was definitely not as good as what her sister-in-law did.
Xia Chan raised her eyebrows slightly. "Yun Yao can make ointment now?"
This is not a mockery, but a sincere exclamation: "You are so smart!"
She had only taught Lu Yunyao casually before, but she never thought that she had improved to the point where she could even make ointment.
This is really amazing.
Lu Yunyao was praised and lowered her head with a red face: "No, I just messed around."
"You don't have to be modest."
Xie Yunying's voice was heard outside.
She ran in from outside with a smile on her face.
Xia Chan didn't see Wei Hua with her.
She glanced behind Xie Yunying a few times to make sure Wei Hua was not there.
Before she could ask, Xie Yunying said, "Sister-in-law, Huanhuan and Haoge'er went to the river to catch fish. I came back to get the bamboo basket."
In this cold winter, they are the only ones interested in fishing.
Xia Chan nodded.
The old lady asked her who Huanhuan was?
"Grandma, she is a friend I met when I was in Southern Xinjiang. She is from Southern Xinjiang."
Southern Xinjiang, Miao people.
To the Han people in the Central Plains, the Miao people always seem a little scary.
But fortunately, the old lady is not an ordinary person.
She was courageous and resourceful when she was young. Even though she is old now, she is not frightened by the title of a Miao person from southern Xinjiang.
Besides, the other party is Xia Chan’s friend.
If nothing else, just for this reason, they should not be afraid of each other.
"Okay, okay, Chanchan has brought his friends back."
We chatted for a while, and then talked about the few families outside. Where did they come from and how did they end up in this place by chance?
