Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 64 – Exhausted

Mother Ji could not hide her happiness when she made the announcement.

Outside the door, Ji Jianyun heard the baby’s cries. He didn’t know how to feel. For a moment, he was dumbfounded. When he came to his senses, Ji Jianyun immediately asked anxiously, “Wife, how are you feeling?”

“I told you that mother and baby are safe. Lower your voice.” Mother Ji was annoyed.

Once everything was tidied up, she came to open the door and let him in. As a soldier, Ji Jianyun recognized the smelled blood. He went to the bed to see Su Danhong.

Su Danhong’s eyes were shining a little. She worked very hard to give birth, but now that she had given birth, she found herself full of strength and felt like she could have another one!

“Honey.” Ji Jianyun sat by the bed and looked at her with a guilty look on his face.

“I’m fine, look at the baby.” Su Danhong said.

Aunt Gu brought the baby over and said with a smile, “Jianyun, look at this big fat boy your wife gave you. Oh dear, in all my years of delivering babies, I’ve never seen a boy so handsome when he was born!”

Her praise was not fake, it was the truth. Just look at the little guy. He did not look like a newborn. Although his skin was a little red, it was not wrinkly at all. Newborn babies were usually red and wrinkly. Hou Wazi was like that, but this little guy was just a little red.

And the redder the skin was, the whiter it was going to be when the red faded.

With a smile on her face, Mother Ji took the child and exclaimed, “Grandmother’s good grandson! Oh, it really might be possible that he will go to college in the future!”

Then she carried the baby over and said, “Jianyun, come, carry him. This is your son.”

Ji Jianyun had older brothers, and a younger brother and sister. When Ji Jianwen was born, he was still not old enough yet, so he didn’t carry him; when Ji Yunyun was born, he was old enough to take care of her, so Ji Jianyun still knew how to hold a baby.

It’s just that Ji Jianyun was still a little nervous about holding his son.

He was such a little ball that he was afraid that he might squish him if he used too much strength.

“Don’t be so nervous,” Mother Ji said with a smile.

Ji Jianyun carefully took the baby like when his senior officer had assigned him an important task in the past.

When the little ball was in his arms, his hard heart became unspeakably soft.

He hugged his son and had a silly smile on for a while, then he showed him to his wife. “Honey, look, this is our son! He looks like you!”

Su Danhong laughed. Now that her breathing was more relaxed, the tiredness surged up like it was high tide.

“The baby’s eyes are like Danhong’s, but the nose and mouth are like you,” Mother Ji stated.

Aunt Gu saw that Su Danhong was tired and said, “Let’s have Danhong sleep for a while.”

Mother Ji nodded in response. She went out first with Aunt Gu. She gave Aunt Gu the red packet that Su Danhong had prepared earlier.

“Why are you being polite to me?” Aunt Gu asked.

“It’s not much. It’s a joyful time and Jianyun’s wife asked me to give it to you, so take it.” Mother Ji just pushed it into Aunt Gu’s hands.

She had seen how much money was in the red packet. Five yuan was not much, but was definitely enough.

Aunt Gu didn’t say anything at this time. She took the red packet and went back laughing.

After Mother Ji saw her off, she turned back and told Ji Jianyun, “Jianyun, Danhong is tired now. You let her rest. Mother will go back to cook for your father and will bring some food for Danhong later.”

“Okay,” Ji Jianyun replied.

Mother Ji went back, and Ji Jianyun put the little guy who was sleeping next to his wife and left  to wash up.

He had to take advantage of the time when his wife and son were asleep to wash up.

He brushed his teeth and washed his face. Then, he went to the kitchen to make some dumplings for himself. Conveniently, there are always dumplings in the refrigerator at home.

He just needed to take it out and cook it.

When the dumplings were cooked, he ate them quickly. Afterwards, he went to wash the clothes he had worn last night in the washing machine.

Then the house was cleaned up. He was busy for the most part, until Aunt Yang from next door came over with a big basket of eggs.

“Aunt, you’re here,” Jianyun chuckled.

“I just spoke a few words with your mother. I know that Danhong just gave birth to a big fat boy last night. Aunt came to have a look. These eggs are for you,” Aunt Yang said happily.

“Thanks.” Ji Jianyun was straightforward with her since their families were very close.

Aunt Yang said, “She should eat lightly for the first two or three days. When there is breast milk, she will need to eat chicken soup. Make some for her when the time comes.”

Ji Jianyun had learned about these things from Mother Ji, but even so, he didn’t mind listening to it again.

When Aunt Yang saw that he wanted to listen to her, she told him more. For example, the most important period for a woman was during confinement. A woman must not catch a cold during this time, and she must fully follow the rules for the entire month. If not, she would fall sick.

Ji Jianyun nodded solemnly.

“Even if she feels unwell, just wipe the top of her head with a towel. After a while, it won’t be a problem.” After a lot of advice, Aunt Yang stopped talking.

But Ji Jianyun listened to each one.

Aunt Yang said, “If you need any help, come and call for me. Aunt is usually at home all day.”

“Thank you, Aunt.” Ji Jianyun nodded. After he saw her out, he went back to the house to hang the laundry. He said to Da Hei, “Watch the door properly.”

“Woof!” Da Hei barked at him.

Ji Jianyun came back to the house. His son and wife were still sleeping.

The little guy slept for a while and woke up in discomfort because he needed to pee. Ji Jianyun was distressed, but he changed the little guy’s diaper carefully. After that, he coaxed him until the little guy went to sleep again.

Meanwhile, his wife slept soundly. Her face was still flushed, but her complexion was still good.

Su Danhong thought that she had fallen asleep until it was dark. When she woke up, it was already past one o’clock in the afternoon.

“Honey, are you hungry?” Ji Jianyun asked right away.

The first thing Su Danhong did was look for her son. She saw that her son was sleeping, and there was a slight look of dissatisfaction on his little face. Su Danhong gave a small smile and nodded and said, “Bring me some food.”

Ji Jianyun went to get a bowl of congee. As soon as Ji Jianyun left, Su Danhong immediately opened her mouth, and the spiritual spring water from her index finger flowed in. After drinking about two cups, Su Danhong felt better.

Ji Jianyun came back with the congee. Although it was a simple congee, Su Danhong devoured it because she was extremely hungry.

After two bowls of congee, Su Danhong was full and asked, “Jianyun, have you thought of a name for our baby?”

Ji Jianyun said with a smile, “Not yet.”

“I have thought of one. Would you like to hear it?” Su Danhong raised her eyebrow.

“Tell me.” Ji Jianyun nodded.
