The child's name?
Of course there was. The two of them had studied it for a long time before they finally found a name that they liked. So when the old man asked, Yang Yi and Murphy looked at each other and smiled. Murphy asked Yang Yi to introduce.
"Because we didn't know the gender of the child, we prepared a boy and a girl's name respectively." Yang Yi explained to Yang Chonggui, "Because in Xi Xi's name, Xi means the sun. It means the beautiful sunshine in the morning …"
Xi Xi, who was in her grandmother's arms, heard her father say her name. The little girl moved her little butt happily.
Although the name was a little difficult to write, Xi Xi still liked it. Not only did it sound nice, but it also had a beautiful meaning. The golden morning sun was not dazzling at all. Instead, it made people feel warm and full of hope.
Yang Yi continued, "So the second child's name would also correspond to Xi Xi's name, or it would correspond to the sun, moon, and stars. However, we felt that Yang Yue and Yang Chen were more common, so we didn't decide to use these names."
"Or it would be similar. Like Xi Xi, we have the same beautiful wishes for the two children." Yang Yi finally stopped keeping them in suspense. He said proudly, "Later, we decided to choose a line from 'The Rhyme of the Old Man in the Bamboo Hat': The clouds are rolling, the sun is rolling. It describes the morning sun's rays gradually becoming clear. If Murphy gives birth to a boy in the end, he will be called Yang Jian. If she gives birth to a girl, she will be called Yang Jian. "
After that, Yang Yi waited for his father's praise. However, Yang Chonggui and Dong Yuee both frowned and looked at him, puzzled.
"Which word are you talking about?" Yang Chonggui hadn't read 'The Rhyme of the Bamboo Hat' before. There was no such book in this world.
Of course, he didn't know that much. In the past, during the war, even though his family was rich, Yang Chonggui only learned to read and was no longer illiterate. This uncouth man liked to fight and kill. He didn't even look for books to read, so naturally, he wouldn't suspect anything.
Yang Yi had no choice but to borrow a pen and paper from the nurse outside to write for the old man.
Xi Xi even came over and leaned against the small table to watch her father write.
"This character is not easy to write," Xi Xi pouted and said.
Yang Yi patted his daughter's head and said with a smile, "None of them are easy to write. Simple characters are used more often, so it's easy to duplicate names in the future. But that's okay. Even if it's difficult to write, it'll be more distinguishable."
He had already thought through this problem. He could not give his child a strange name just for convenience, such as Yang Yi or Yang Tie.
Yang Chonggui took the name that Yang Yi handed over. He opened it and looked at it with Dong Yuee.
Dong Yuee narrowed her eyes and slowly said: "I think it should be a boy. Feifei already gave birth to a girl, so it should be a boy this time. So, what is this boy's name? "
After all, his grandmother was still somewhat traditional. She was somewhat obsessed with the idea of having a grandson.
"His name is Yang Yi, and his nickname is Yi Yi. It's the same as Xi Xi's. It's a repeated name, and it also means bright and sunny. " Murphy helped to explain. She even added with a smile, "Yang Yi said that Yi Yi's nickname came from a very famous New Year's poem. On the New Year's Eve, thousands of families will always exchange new peaches for old charms. "
"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. On the New Year's Eve, thousands of families will always exchange new peaches for old charms. " This poem came from Wang Anshi's "Yuan Ri". Of course, it didn't exist in this world, but Yang Yi still succeeded in fooling Murphy.
Obviously, Yang Chonggui and Dong Yuee wouldn't pursue the matter. Dong Yuee even felt that the name of the unconfirmed grandson was good and cultured. The old man smiled and was very satisfied.
"Actually, it's possible to give birth to a boy or a girl. Also, it doesn't matter. Even if Murphy doesn't give birth to a boy, there's still Qing Zi, right?" Yang Yi was worried that Murphy would be pressured, so he said to his mother, "And if it's a girl, this name is also not bad! Yi Yi, it's a homonym for Meng Meng. It's very cute. "
Yang Yi was still trying his best to promote the child's name, but Murphy felt another wave of pain. Everyone was in a mess.
Yang Yi quickly ran to the door to call the doctor. Dong Yuee couldn't sit still either. She ran to the bedside and asked Murphy to take a deep breath.
However, after a while, the doctor came over and found that it was a false alarm.
"Pain is a normal sign before labor. This situation will continue to occur, and the frequency is about once every 20 minutes to half an hour. " The doctor explained to the nervous Yang Yi, "Don't worry. It will only hurt for a few seconds at most. But if the interval is shorter, it will hurt once every eight or ten minutes. This means that the child is about to give birth. At that time, we will send her to the delivery room. Don't worry now. The most important thing is to let the pregnant woman have a good rest and recover her energy … "
At this time, Yang Huan and Ding Xiang finally arrived.
"How is it, brother? Has sister-in-law given birth? Is it a boy or a girl? "Yang Huan asked excitedly.
"Not yet. It's not so fast." Yang Yi helplessly explained to them.
…
At noon, Yang Qing and Zheng Shuyi brought lunch. Everyone ate in a hurry, mainly to take care of Murphy and let her sleep for a while after lunch. However, the pain from time to time still made Murphy unable to have a good rest. Just when she was a little sleepy, she would be woken up by the pain. Yang Yi's heart ached.
He had to sleep even if he couldn't. In order not to disturb Murphy, he had to give her a quiet environment to rest and accumulate energy. Yang Yi asked Yang Qing and Zheng Shuyi to go home and asked Yang Huan and Ding Xiang to book two rooms in the hotel next to the hospital. Yang Chonggui and Dong Yuee, who didn't want to go back to wait for the news, stayed in the hotel for lunch.
After all, it was winter and the corridor of the hospital was very cold.
Yang Huan and Ding Xiang also stayed in the hotel. The school was far away and it was inconvenient for them to go back and forth.
Yang Yi couldn't leave. He stayed with Murphy in the room to take care of Murphy. If anything happened, he could help Murphy deal with it.
Xi Xi didn't want to leave her father. At this time, her mother was in the hospital bed. The little girl felt very insecure and clung to her father tightly. She looked at her father with tears in her eyes and said, "Papa, I won't talk. I won't disturb Mom. Please don't drive me away …"
Yang Yi just wanted her to rest in the hotel, but he couldn't bear to make his daughter sad.
"Okay, Xi Xi will follow me." Yang Yi shook his head and smiled. He rubbed his daughter's little head and said, "But you have to be good."
After settling his parents, Yang Yi carried the little girl back to the ward. Murphy was still awake. When she saw Yang Yi come in, she hurriedly closed her eyes, as if she was afraid that Yang Yi would find out and scold her for not sleeping well.
Yang Yi put Xi Xi on the sofa and then walked over with a smile. He pulled up the quilt for her, covered the corner of the quilt, and scratched her nose to show that he had found out about her little trick.
Murphy's face turned red, but she still closed her eyes and refused to admit it.
Yang Yi didn't talk to her anymore. Instead, he went back to the sofa and put down the foldable sofa, which became a simple accompanying bed.
There was also a quilt. It wasn't very thick, but because Xi Xi was still wearing thick clothes, Yang Yi wasn't too worried that she would catch a cold.
Yang Yi pressed Xi Xi on the accompanying bed. He lay down beside her. The bed was too small, and his long legs were still on the ground.
Yang Yi pulled up the quilt and whispered to the little girl, "Go to sleep!"
He didn't have much to do. Moreover, he had to take care of Murphy. But Xi Xi didn't take a nap. She would be listless in the afternoon.
However, the little girl's big watery eyes were smiling. She clasped her little hands in front of her body, pouted her little mouth, and made a "shh" gesture to her father.
Yi, this little girl who was secretly laughing, was scolding her father?
Yang Yi pinched Xi Xi's little nose, and the corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile.
Xi Xi didn't dare to laugh out loud, for fear that she would disturb her mother. She smiled with curved eyes, and like a groundhog, she burrowed into her father's arms.
The quilt hadn't warmed up yet, but her father's embrace was very warm. The little girl squeezed into her father's arms, and a blissful smile appeared on her face.
…
Murphy didn't make everyone wait for too long. At around four in the afternoon, her water broke, and she was pushed into the delivery room. The most worrying moment finally arrived.
