Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 893 Son
Apart from these two small episodes, the next two days were really relaxing.

Several women went shopping during the day and played mahjong together at night.

It seems like I have returned to Old Beijing and the days of living in the courtyard houses.

As Lou Xiao'e entered the delivery room, everyone gathered together and waited.

"Don't worry, we check every day, there are no problems at all, and everything is guaranteed to go smoothly."

Compared to the anxious Xu Damao, Father Lou was not anxious at all. He even sat down and made tea. However, his hands were shaking slightly, showing his inner unrest.

There was no special story. There was no baby crying, nor was there any cry from the mother in pain. Only the doctor came out and said, "Mother and child are safe."

Lou's mother hurriedly handed over the red envelope she had prepared in advance.

This is also the custom in Hong Kong. When good things happen, you have to give red envelopes.

The red envelope is not big, it is just to please people and bring good luck.

A beautiful person once said that in a certain place, the purpose of being a leader is to be bribed. This is because she was misled by some traditional customs. The actual situation is completely different.

Even if there are, they are only a few individuals.

Xu Damao wanted to go in and see Lou Xiaoe immediately, but was stopped outside as well.

Just not allowed in.

Xu Damao was really confused. It was bad enough that they were not allowed to sleep in the same room before, but now they were not even allowed to see each other?

Then why did he come to Hong Kong to accompany the birth?
"Why don't you let me in?"

"It's not convenient now. It's not convenient for pregnant women and newborns to see strangers."

Xu Damao didn't know what to say, so he pointed at himself and said, "I am a stranger? I am the father of the child."

The doctor was also helpless and asked Lou's mother to come over and talk to him.

"Da Mao, it's really inconvenient now. You should wait a while. This is also tradition. It's not easy for people to see a baby right after giving birth. Just wait a while."

Xu Damao thought that he was going to say something unlucky or something, but in the end, nothing happened and he was just asked to wait outside.

Everyone was anxious, but waiting.

Xu Damao still couldn't understand. According to the little knowledge he had read, whether it was in TV dramas or other places, the father could hold the baby right after the birth, and in some places, the father could even accompany the mother during childbirth.

Why is it inconvenient?
Unfortunately, Lou's mother stopped him, and Xu Damao couldn't force his way in.

This wait lasted more than two hours. When Xu Damao saw Lou Xiao'e, she was already lying on the bed wrapped tightly. The doors and windows of the room were closed tightly, leaving no air in the room. The child was being held by a confinement nanny.

A professional confinement nanny had already been hired before the baby was born.

Xu Damao walked up to Lou Xiaoe, took her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Because he really didn't know what to say.

Everyone knows that pregnancy is not easy, and he, as a father, only came to the side at the very end.

"It's not hard, come and see our children."

Xu Damao helped Lou Xiao'e to lean on the bed, and the confinement nanny handed "Xiaogang Gui" to Lou Xiao'e.

At first glance, I thought the child was so ugly and wrinkled.

"Do you think it's ugly? I thought it was ugly too when I first saw it. You'll get used to it after holding it for a while."

Xu Damao carefully held the child in his arms. This was his first child.

When I really held him in my arms, maybe because I was too excited, I could feel the blood connection between us, and the kinship that is thicker than water.

Whether it was an illusion or not, this was what he was thinking now.

And he has a child.

The two chatted for a while and couldn't stay any longer, even Lou Xiao'e took the initiative to ask him to leave.

There are people outside waiting to see their grandson.

Normally, when a family has a newborn, they would hold a banquet, but now they have to keep a low profile and wait a month before holding the banquet, which is called a "full moon banquet." Why does it take a month?
Because the mother has to stay in confinement for a month, she cannot be exposed to the wind, wash her hair, or go out.

Children also cannot meet too many strangers.

This is different from many Western countries. Some foreign women give birth in the morning and can go out in the afternoon. I don't know if it's due to their physical constitution, but there is no custom of confinement after childbirth there.

As long as it is good for the body, Xu Damao fully supports it.

Not to mention a one-month confinement period, even two months is enough.

Lou Xiao'e became the absolute core of this family. As long as Xu Damao had time, he was very happy to stay with her forever.

However, the leader of the Lian Bank came to look at Xu Damao again.

I really just came to take a look. We didn't talk about anything serious. I just drank a cup of tea and then left.

This made Xu Damao a little confused.

He came here with the identity of a bank official. He thought that since it was a leader visiting him, he needed to explain things to him, but in the end, he didn't ask any questions at all and just chatted about some family matters before leaving.

Before leaving, he also praised Xu Damao for giving his son a good name.

Xu Damao was also modest: "It was because I didn't go to school for many years and didn't have much academic qualifications. I wanted to find a master to give me a new name, but I had already honored my ancestors, so I didn't change it."

"That's good. Young people can be more romantic, but they should be aware of the impact and exercise moderation. Don't think that you are young and strong, otherwise you will be in trouble in the future. I heard that you are also a master of traditional Chinese medicine. You should know more about this than me. Okay, don't send me off. I have work to do. I'll leave first."

"By the way, I heard that the chickens you raise are very special. Next time you come over, remember to bring me two."

"I'll bring it to you next time I come."

"Young man, you have a bright future ahead of you."

By the time the people got in the car and drove away, Xu Damao still didn't understand what this leader was here for.

"What does he mean? Such a big leader just came to take a look?"

In terms of rank, the level of the joint bank is department. The person who came today is either the top leader or the second-in-command.

It seems that Xu Damao's rank is only three levels lower than this person's, but if we convert it into job levels, taking the maximum value, it is a full 12 levels lower, and taking the minimum value, it is two levels lower.

The first level is three years, the maximum is thirty-six years, and the minimum is six years.

The difference in the maximum values ​​is like a chasm, but the difference in the minimum values ​​is not that big.

This flexibility is indeed a bit too large.

Of course, no one knows what the actual situation is.

"He just came to take a look?"

"Coming here to recognize his face is secondary. Didn't you hear him say that he asked you to bring him two chickens you raised next time you come?"

"That's not important..."

Xu Damao stopped talking halfway.

This is Hong Kong, and it doesn’t belong to the old city yet.

The laying hens can be taken back by Russian researchers, but they may not be taken to Hong Kong by Lianlian Bank.

"Could this person have some hidden identity?"

"Who knows? All we know is that he is the second-in-command of Lian Bank."

There are a lot of crooked butts in the inland, but this is Hong Kong.

"Did I just agree to it? It's difficult, but it doesn't matter."

The Russians have completely broken off relations, so everything can be given to them.

We should be more open-minded. We all share the same roots. If we can all live a good life, that is of course the result we all want to see.
