Chapter 181: Xingxing Becomes a Big Sister

Chapter 181: Xingxing Becomes a Big Sister

"They’re not from our village?" Ju Geer frowned.

He often led Xingxing all over the village, playing wildly, and knew all the children in the village.

If Xingxing didn’t recognize them, they definitely weren’t from the village.

"Where are we supposed to find them now?!" Ju Geer was frustrated.

Xingxing whispered, "After they bumped into Second Aunt, they were laughing at first, but when they saw her bleeding a lot, they ran away..."

These words made Ju Geer so angry that he almost jumped up.

Although Xingxing’s voice was soft, she had to speak loud enough for Ju Geer to hear.

At that moment, inside the room, Daxisipo somehow managed to make Bai Xiaofeng’s cries of pain subside a little. When Xingxing said this, Yu Erhu also heard it.

The anxious Yu Erhu’s eyes turned red, and his teeth chattered with anger, "If I catch those two brats, they’re dead meat!"

Bumping into someone was one thing, but seeing them bleed and just running away was unforgivable!

It was a good thing Xingxing was there!

If there had been no one else, his wife...

Yu Erhu shuddered, not daring to think about it.

Bai Xiaofeng’s cries of pain lasted intermittently for over half an hour.

Basins of bloodied water were being carried out one after another.

Fortunately, the loud cry of a newborn baby finally sounded.

As soon as Yu Erhu heard the baby cry, he was in the yard, bowing in every direction to various deities.

Overjoyed, he bowed a few more times, then rushed towards the second family home, "Wife, how are you?"

There was no response from Bai Xiaofeng.

Yu Erhu panicked and called out louder, "Wife—"

He was about to rush into the room when he lifted the curtain.

Just then, Wei Pozi came out, and Yu Erhu grabbed Wei Pozi’s arm, his teeth chattering, "Mother, my wife she..."

Wei Pozi smiled and gave Yu Erhu a side-eye, "Your wife is fine. She’s just exhausted after giving birth. Can you be a little gentler with that curtain? Your wife just gave birth; she’s very weak."

Tears streamed down Yu Erhu’s face as he could only nod, saying "good, good, good," unable to say anything else.

He carefully lifted the edge of the curtain and slipped inside.

Wei Pozi came out to the yard to deliver the good news to the waiting Yujia family members. Both mother and child were safe, which was the best possible outcome.

"Da Xi said that fortunately, our family’s living conditions improved in the second half of last year, and Second Daughter-in-law’s nutrition was well-supplemented. Though the baby was born premature and a little small, the foundation is good. With proper care, the baby will be no different from a full-term baby in the future!" Wei Pozi said joyfully.

The Yujia family members waiting in the yard all let out a collective breath.

Ju Geer practically jumped with excitement, "Did Second Auntie give birth to a little sister for me?"

Wei Pozi was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "No, it's a little brother for you."

"A little brother..." Ju Geer couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Since Bai Xiaofeng got pregnant, she had been convinced that she was carrying a baby girl, and the rest of the Yujia family had also come to believe the same after hearing it for so long.

Li Chunhua and Su Rouer had both prepared two sets of baby clothes in advance, choosing colors fit for a girl.

Still, it didn't matter much what colors they used for the baby—

Ju Geer was only disappointed for a little while before he cheered up again.

He was a big brother again!

Haha!

Xingxing, that little girl, had always refused to call him "Big Brother," and cheekily called him "Ju Geer" without any respect. But this new little one would definitely call him "Big Brother," right?!

Excited, Ju Geer was about to rush into the second household to see his brand-new little brother.

Wei Pozi grabbed Ju Geer and said with a mix of exasperation and amusement, "Your Second Auntie is weak right now. What trouble are you going to cause by going in there? Stay put!"

Ju Geer obediently replied with an "Oh."

When Xingxing heard that Bai Xiaofeng had given birth to a little brother, she didn't seem too surprised.

She had always felt that Second Aunt's belly held a quiet and gentle little brother.

Still, a little brother or a little sister was fine!

The most important thing was—

"I'm a big sister now!" Xingxing cheered excitedly, clenching her small fist!

Ju Geer wouldn't back down, "I'm a big brother now! He will definitely call me 'Big Brother' first!"

Xingxing felt a bit wronged but was unusually stirred by a competitive spirit, "You're wrong. He will definitely call me 'Big Sister' first!"

"Big Brother!"

"Big Sister!"

The two kids started shouting "Big Brother!" and "Big Sister!" back and forth, all mixed up.

Wei Pozi chuckled softly, watching Ju Geer and Xingxing bicker, the loud cries of her newly born grandson filling the air.

This family was getting livelier by the day.

After Li Chunhua and Su Rouer, along with Shuangyun, cleaned up the delivery room, the sisters-in-law wasted no time and hurried off to buy eggs.

The newly born "Bang Geer" was a premature baby, meaning he was born before his due date. To pray for the health of a premature infant, some families would boil a large pot of red eggs and distribute them to every household.

This was called "to share in the blessings" and "to gather good fortune."

However, ever since Bai Xiaofeng got pregnant, the eggs from the Yujia family's chickens had almost all gone into her stomach, leaving no stock. Fortunately, the Yujia family was well-off, so buying some eggs wasn't a problem.

Li Chunhua and Su Rouer, along with Shuangyun, bought a total of three baskets of eggs.

In the evening, after buying the eggs back, Shuangyun went to boil water. Li Chunhua and Su Rouer lightly washed the eggs, wrapped them in the red paper they had bought, and started boiling the eggs.

In the evening, the Yu family began going door-to-door around the village, delivering the eggs to gather blessings for the newly born Bang Ge'er.

Xingxing felt she should help her little brother as his sister.

She carried a small bamboo basket filled with boiled red eggs and followed Wei Pozi door-to-door.

The first few households were delighted to get the boiled red eggs and spoke some lucky wishes, saying auspicious words to wish the newly born Bang Ge'er a safe and healthy growth. Wei Pozi smiled widely.

Later, they arrived at another household. When the family opened the door and understood their purpose, they smiled and offered four boiled red eggs, saying with a laugh, "Oh wow, I heard the Yu family is doing well. Four eggs, that’s quite generous."

Wei Pozi’s smile faded, and the hand holding the four eggs pulled back slightly.

As they went door-to-door delivering eggs, some villagers joined them for fun. One villager scolded, "Can’t you say something nice?!”

The villager, seeing Wei Pozi pull her hand back, awkwardly said, "Aunt Wei, don't take it to heart. I was just talking nonsense. Your new baby is named Bang Ge'er, right? Don't worry, he will definitely grow up well."

Hearing those lucky wishes, and for the sake of her grandson’s good fortune, Wei Pozi couldn’t be bothered to argue and handed over the four boiled eggs.

The person, with a smile, opened the door wider and called out after receiving the eggs, "Dabao, Erbao, someone is here delivering eggs. Perfect, come and share them."

The moonlight shone in the yard, and Xingxing got a clear look at the two who ran out to receive the eggs.

Weren’t they the ones who bumped into Second Auntie?
