Chapter 50

Zhao Xiaolan's stomach is already very big, it is estimated that she will give birth in a few days, and Xu Xiaofu's stomach is also seven months old.She was worried about Zhao Xiaolan, and she had already taken Camellia and Rhododendron to live in Xu's house.

After breakfast in the morning, Xu Xiaofu walked around the yard with Zhao Xiaolan, so that the labor would be easier.And she also asked someone to get some wild honey back, and let Zhao Xiaolan drink it every day, which can reduce the time of production and make people more relaxed.

Wang didn't go to the restaurant to help out these few days, and stayed at home to take care of Zhao Xiaolan.

Zhao Xiaolan walked around the yard several times with her waist supported, her stomach was too heavy and she couldn't bear it anymore, Wang hurriedly helped her to sit on the stone bench next to her, and Xu Xiaofu also sat down.The camellia came with a cup of honey water, Zhao Xiaolan drank it in one gulp, and sighed again.

Xu Xiaofu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you must not sigh, you are not afraid that the child will be born with a sad face."

Zhao Xiaolan smiled, put down the porcelain cup, and said, "Aren't I worried about your elder brother? He doesn't know if he's in the borderlands, and he won't send a letter back."

Xu Xiaofu said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I heard from the general that some soldiers will come back from the frontier in a few days, maybe there will be big brother."

Zhao Xiaolan sighed, "I hope to have your elder brother..."

A few days later, the Xu family was still sleeping, when there was a sudden knock on the door, even Xu Xiaofu woke up, looked at the sky, but Yin Shi, wondering if the elder brother had come back, He hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed.

Camellia Dujuan was sleeping outside, and got up after hearing the movement, the two helped Xu Xiaofu to the door.Mrs. Xu was standing under the eaves, and Mrs. Wang had already opened the door. Looking at Xu Qingshan who was busy outside the door, she was stunned. It was not until Xu Qingshan called his mother several times that Mrs. Wang came back to her senses and pulled Xu Qingshan His hands trembled a little, "Qingshan, it's Qingshan, you've come back, do you know how much my mother worried about you during this time?"

"Mother, don't worry, I'm back." Xu Qingshan grinned, glanced behind Wang Shi, saw Xu Xiaofu, and hurriedly dragged Wang Shi in, "Xiaofu, your belly is so big Yes, time flies so fast."

Xu Xiaofu said with a smile, "Brother, you feel that the time is going fast, but sister-in-law feels that time is hard. You should go into the house quickly, as sister-in-law is still sleeping."

Just as she was talking, Zhao Xiaolan pushed open the door and walked out with her waist supported. Looking at the dusty Xu Qingshan in the hazy sky, tears came out, and she choked up and said, "You are back..."

Seeing his wife's big belly, Xu Qingshan was both happy and sad, and stepped forward to support Zhao Xiaolan, "Daughter-in-law, I'm fine, isn't it all right? Wife, I have good news for you. Guide's halberd is up."

The leader of Guide's halberd is a small officer from the ninth rank. To put it bluntly, he is almost like a non-commissioned officer and can manage a small team.

Zhao Xiaolan was both happy and worried, crying and laughing, and was about to say something when she suddenly covered her stomach and said, "Qing...Qingshan, I...my stomach hurts, is it about to give birth..."

The Xu family was taken aback, Wan Niang also walked out of the room at this moment, she was both surprised and happy to see Xu Qingshan, but she couldn't care less about reminiscing about the past.Wan Niang and Xu Qingshan hurriedly supported Zhao Xiaolan.Wang said: "I'll go ask the midwife. Wanniang and Qingshan feel that they should help Xiaolan in." As he said that, he hurried out of the house.

Xu Xiaofu also hurriedly said to Shancha Dujuan who was standing next to him: "Shancha, Dujuan, you also hurry to help, Shancha is going to boil water, Dujuan enters the room and spreads the old bedding..."

Xu Qingshan and Wanniang helped Zhao Xiaolan into the room, Du Juan also went in to help, Shancha went to the kitchen to boil water, Xu Laopa stood under the eaves, saw Xu Xiaofu and said: "I don't need your help here, you go back to the room to rest , don't bump into you when you get busy."

Xu Xiaofu nodded, she also knew that it was not suitable for her to stay here, so she turned and went into the next room.

Mrs. Wang quickly invited the midwife...

Zhao Xiaolan was also terrible, her stomach ached so badly but she didn't say a word, she just clutched the quilt tightly, the midwife inhaled as she asked, and exhaled as she asked.She does a lot of exercise on weekdays, and with the honey Xiaofu found, she gave birth to the baby in just three hours.

The midwife came out holding the cleaned and wrapped baby, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, congratulations, you are a big fat boy."

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xu laughed immediately, and Mrs. Wang clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky, "God bless you, God bless you."

Xu Wanniang sealed the midwife a thick red envelope, and then sent the midwife out.Mrs. Wang was busy going into the kitchen for Zhao Xiaolan to eat, and Wan Niang also killed a chicken and prepared to stew the chicken soup. Even the little gray in the backyard screamed.

Everyone was worried all morning. Mrs. Wang first ordered a bowl full of egg noodles for Zhao Xiaolan, and then she and Wanniang cooked rice again. Camellia Dujuan helped clean up the delivery room.

Xu Xiaofu looked at the white and tender little doll on the little bed with a smile, and his heart was unbelievably soft.

After Zhao Xiaolan ate the noodles, she asked Wan Niang to give her the baby to breastfeed. Xu Xiaofu also went in to watch the excitement. The little guy sucked vigorously, but unfortunately the milk hasn't flowed yet, and the little guy can't suck anything at all. , anxious wah wah burst into tears.

Three days later, Zhao Xiaolan's milk was completely unobstructed, and it was easier for the little one to suck.

Seeing that the mother and child are safe and the little one is also very cute, Xu Xiaofu returned to Xie's house to wait for the birth in peace.

The business of the restaurant has been very stable, and the monthly profit is about 2000 taels, because everyone knows the relationship between Xu's family and Xie's family, which is considered to be related to Xie's family.Xu Xiaofu didn't have to worry about anything, he could raise his baby at home all day long.

Another month later, when Xu Xiaofu had lunch, Mrs. Meng came over with Xie Rui's little bun.

Seeing the little guy, Xu Xiaofu was very happy.Mrs. Meng and Xu Xiaofu sat down on the stone bench in the yard, Xu Xiaofu looked at the cute little bun, and asked Camellia Dujuan to bring out a new food she had researched in the past few days for the little guy to taste.

Seeing Camellia came out with a plate of neatly cut squares, which looked like something soft, Meng smirked and said, "Sister-in-law, what kind of food did you research?"

Shan Cha put the plate of cakes on the stone table, and smiled at Meng Shi: "My wife can't be idle, she has such a big belly and she still has to toss in the kitchen. Yesterday, she tossed out a new kind of food. The second lady tasted it." Try it. It tastes slightly sweet and soft in the mouth, very suitable for Master Rui."

Meng Shi twisted a piece, took a bite, and it was just like Shancha said, soft, slightly sweet, very fragrant and delicious.Meng Shi twisted a piece for the little guy who was holding her hand to eat, and the little guy stuffed it into his mouth.

Xu Xiaofu also twisted a piece and ate it, and said with a smile: "I made this with eggs and goat's milk sweets. I call it chicken cake. It tastes good. It's very suitable for children. If my siblings don't mind me, I will Tell the recipe to the small kitchen in the yard, and I can make it for Xiao Ruier in the future."

Xie Rui's little bun had already eaten a piece, and he was yelling at his mother, "Mother... want..."

Xiao Baozi is almost two years old, and he can call people and say some simple words and sentences.

Mrs. Meng nodded with a smile, "Then thank you, sister-in-law, Xiao Rui seems to like to eat it." Then she twisted another piece for the little guy, and said to the little guy: "The last piece, if you eat it, you are not allowed to eat it. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat dinner again."

"This child can't hold back his mouth when he eats pastries. He always doesn't eat well. Duan Ran always blames me..." Meng said to Xu Xiaofu with a smile, and seemed to remember something, and sighed: "Sister-in-law is so lucky, General She is upright, says what she says, and doesn't like the smoky backyard, my sister-in-law is really worry-free."

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said nothing, it was difficult for her to answer this question, and she also knew that Mrs. Meng felt uncomfortable. Although my brother-in-law didn't get any concubines at home, he often went to the place of fireworks.My brother-in-law is a literati, a bit sour, and often goes to the place of fireworks with others to recite poems and fight against others. I heard that he recently gave a top card to Jinwu Zangjiao, which is really a headache.

Meng said with a smile: "Let's not talk about that, I made some clothes for the baby in your stomach, it's almost done, and I'll send them to you in a few days."

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said, "Thank you, brother and sister."

The weather was a bit hot, and the two of them felt very hot sitting under the big tree with lush branches and leaves. Xu Xiaofu asked Shan Cha to marry ice cubes to make a few cups of sour plum soup for Meng Shi and the little guy to drink.She didn't dare to eat cold food, so she could only watch the two of them drink helplessly.

Xie Rui's little bun was probably stared at by Xu Xiaofu for a long time. After thinking about it, he held the last sip of sour plum soup at the bottom of the cup and handed it to Xu Xiaofu, "Auntie...here...to drink."

It made Xu Xiaofu and Meng Shi laugh.

Just as he was laughing, the guard at the door suddenly came to the door with the horse shopkeeper.The restaurant employs two shopkeepers, and shopkeeper Ma is one of them.

Seeing shopkeeper Ma, Xu Xiaofu knew that something might have happened to the restaurant, so he hurriedly asked: "Treasurer Ma, but what happened?"

Shopkeeper Ma wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Ma'am, something happened to the restaurant."

Xu Xiaofu's heart sank, knowing that it must not be a trivial matter, if two shopkeepers can handle ordinary things, he would never come to her, "What happened? But it's serious?"

Shopkeeper Ma nodded, and said anxiously: "Ma'am, Lord Cao came to eat in our restaurant today, and suddenly fell to the ground while eating. Fortunately, he invited the doctor over in time. The doctor said that he was poisoned, and now there is nothing serious I am resting in the back room of the restaurant, and now some officials have come to arrest the shopkeeper Niu..."

Xu Xiaofu frowned when he heard it, what happened to Prince Cao?What is poisoning?She remembered that the behind-the-scenes owner of Zuixianju was Prince Cao, so he came here to slander their restaurant, right?But it's unlikely, I heard that Lord Cao is a very face-saving person, how could he do something like poisoning himself in order to frame their restaurant?Now I'm afraid I have to go to the restaurant in person.

Meng also knew that Xu Xiaofu was going out, told Xu Xiaofu to be careful, and then went back with Xie Rui in his arms.
