peasant girl wedding

Chapter 271
All things come to an end for the time being, what Ji Li has to do every day, apart from business, is to stay with Tong Zhi'er.

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day when Tong Zhi'er was due to give birth.

Midwives and doctors have already prepared, just waiting for Tong Zhi'er to give birth.

Ji Li stood anxiously outside the door, whenever Tong Zhi'er's voice came from inside the room, he would grab him accordingly.

"Why isn't it okay?"

Ji Li shouted loudly.

The midwife's weak voice came from inside the room, "Master Ji, women give birth like this, don't be in a hurry, take your time..." Before the words were finished, there was a "bang" outside the door, and the midwife was dumbfounded He stared at Ji Li who suddenly entered the room.

"My lord, my lord, how can you come in the delivery room?"

After being dazed for a moment, the midwife said hurriedly.

Ji Li turned a deaf ear to this, strode to Tong Zhi'er's bedside, and held her hand.

"grown ups………"

The midwife wanted to speak, but was quietly stopped by the doctor beside her.

"towel!"

Ji Li spoke.

The midwife passed the towel over.

Ji Li frowned, "What are you still standing for?"

"Yes, yes, sir, don't worry, we will start now."

The doctor smiled.

The midwife went to her original position and stood there, feeling deeply resentful.

A big man came into the delivery room, wouldn't this cause trouble for them?For example, at work, the ladies lying on the bed are in labor pains, and they can only stand and do nothing.

Thinking about it, the midwife did not dare to neglect Ji Li.

The labor pain lasted for about an hour, and the midwife finally found out that Tong Zhi'er's water had broken.

"Come on madam, I can see the baby's head."

Tong Zhi'er felt extremely uncomfortable, as if her body was about to be torn apart by something, and she couldn't bear the pain.

She took a deep breath and squeezed forcefully toward her stomach. Suddenly, Tong Zhi'er felt something slip out of her body.

"It's born, it's born..."

The joyful voice of the midwife came to my ears.

"Twigs."

Ji Li tightly held Tong Zhi'er's hand, excitedly not knowing what to say.

Tong Zhi'er ignored him, stared at the midwife, and said, "Hurry up and show me the baby."

"Alright madam," the midwife wrapped the baby in the clean and soft cloth prepared before handing it to Tong Zhi'er.

Tong Zhi'er stood up, and Ji Li immediately stuffed a pillow behind her back.

"Why so ugly?"

Tong Zhi'er looked at the red-skinned and wrinkled child for a while, and couldn't help but speak.

Ji Li moved his head closer, looked at it for a while, nodded and said, "It's a bit ugly."

This made Tong Zhi'er very unhappy.

"What are you talking about? You think the child is ugly?"

"Neither ugly nor ugly, your child and I are beautiful."

Tong Zhi'er glanced at him, but ignored him.

After all, it took a lot of effort to give birth to a child, and Tong Zhi'er just couldn't hold it up after holding her for a while.

When she woke up, it was already daylight.

The whole house was sealed tightly, and Tong Zhi'er could smell the smell emanating from her body on a hot day.

But confinement, I can only endure it.

The girl heard the sound, went into the house, quickly closed the door, and cleaned the bed for Tong Zhi'er first.

"What about the child?"

"Reporting to Madam, the young master is being taken by the nanny at the moment."

Tong Zhi'er nodded, waited for the girl to tidy up the bed, asked for hot water to wipe her body, and changed into clean clothes, then asked the girl to bring the child over.

She also has enough milk to feed her own child, absolutely no problem.

.........

During Tong Zhi'er's month of confinement and breastfeeding the child, the Duke's Mansion in Beijing also received a letter from Ji Li.

The old lady, the eldest lady and the second lady all said at the same time that they must go to Wuzhou to see Tong Zhier and the newborn child.Ji Chang asked the housekeeper to get ready, and the family set off.

.........

In Qingzhou, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei also received a letter from Tong Zhier.

The two told the big guys the news, packed up their things, and Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei set off towards Wuzhou.

Compared with the capital city, Qingzhou is closer to Wuzhou.

By the time the old lady and others arrived in Wuzhou City, Fang Cuiwei had already taken care of Tong Zhi'er for confinement.

"Mother-in-law, I'm really sorry, Zhi'er was confinement, and I couldn't come in person."

When the eldest lady saw Fang Cuiwei, she said sorry.

They all looked travel-savvy, they seemed to have rushed over quickly, Fang Cuiwei looked at them, how could he still be angry?If it was the kind that didn't care about his daughter-in-law, he wouldn't have come all the way here.

"It's okay, I'm idle, and I'm idle. It's just right to take care of Zhi'er and confinement. Qingzhou is closer than the capital, and I can catch up. Let's stop standing at the door and talk inside." Fang Cui said with a smile .

A group of people entered the house.

Tong Zhi'er came forward with the child in her arms.

All eyes were on the infant child.

"It's exactly the same as Ah Li when he was a child."

The old lady said with emotion.

"Yes," the eldest lady nodded with a smile on her face.

"Especially the eyebrows and nose, they are simply carved out of the same mold." The second lady followed.

"Zhi'er, it's hard for you."

The three looked at Tong Zhi'er at the same time.

Tong Zhi'er shook her head with a smile, looked at Fang Cuiwei who was standing beside her, and said, "It is said that only when you raise a child will you know your parents' kindness. I feel it even more deeply now, mother, thank you."

Tears flickered in Fang Cuiwei's eyes, "Silly boy, what can I say to thank you mother?"

"Did the child get a name?"

The old lady changed the topic.

"I took a nickname, called Ping'an, my husband said, and let my father pick up the big name."

Everyone looked at Ji Chang who had narrowed his eyes with a smile as soon as he entered the room, and couldn't bear to take his eyes off Ping An.

"Call Ji Wuyou."

Ji's family, from their ancestors to him and then to his son, have been generals for three generations, throwing their heads and blood on the battlefield.Ji Chang understands the hardships.

He would rather his grandson be an ordinary person and not go to the battlefield and fight with his life.

A few days later, it will be Ji Wuyou's full moon day.

The old lady, Ji Chang, the first lady and the second lady ate the full moon wine before rushing to the capital.

Winter goes and spring comes again, and in a blink of an eye, Ping An is already two years old.

Tong Zhi'er was packing things in the house, looking at the children running in the yard from time to time.

"what!"

The child screamed and Tong Zhi'er ran out immediately, looking anxiously at Ping An lying on the ground.

"Where did you hurt?"

Ping An pouted her lips, looked at Tong Zhi'er with aggrieved expression, "Mother, give me a hug."

"Good boy, if you fall down, get up by yourself, that's the real man." Tong Zhi'er ignored his plea, touched Ping'an's soft head, and said softly.

Little Ping An ignored what she said, and looked at Tong Zhi'er pitifully with two tears in her big eyes.

The mother and son maintained their respective movements without any change.

One stubbornly wanted to be hugged by his mother.

One hoped that his son would fall and stand up by himself.

Under the stalemate, Ping An was defeated.

He staggered up from the ground as Tong Zhi'er said, and said with a choked voice, "I'm a man."

The top of the head was covered by a pair of big hands.

Ping An raised his head and looked into a pair of gentle eyes.

"Good boy, remember, if you fall backwards, you have to get up by yourself."

Nod safely.

If you fall down, get up, otherwise, mother will ignore him.

"Everything is almost packed."

Ji Li's voice came from behind.

"Daddy."

Ping An called out, came out of Tong Zhi'er's arms, and rushed towards Ji Li's direction.

Ji Li bent over and hugged him.

"Is everything about you done?"

Tong Zhier asked.

Ji Li nodded, and walked over with peace in his arms, "I have taken care of all the work properly, and I just need to wait for tomorrow's departure."

"Well, I almost packed the things in the house today."

The two walked into the house while talking.

The girl arranged the meals in the dining room, and Tong Zhi'er refilled the meals for the father and son, the elder and the younger, before sitting down.

Since we were leaving before dawn tomorrow, Tong Zhi'er and the three went to bed early to rest after dinner.

The next day, before the sky in the east was bright, several carriages set off leisurely from the government office of Wuzhou.

Ping An opened his wide eyes, looking at everything around him curiously.

"Mother, we are going to the capital, aren't we?"

Tong Zhi'er nodded, and adjusted her gestures so that both herself and Ping An, who was hugged by her, could be more comfortable.

"When you arrive in the capital, you can meet your grandfather, grandmother, and great-grandmother."

"Mother, will they like me?"

Tong Zhier smiled, "Of course, didn't Ping An read your grandmother's letter from the capital?"

Nod safely.

He still remembered the contents of the letter. Between the lines, his grandmother missed him, as well as his parents.However, having never seen her grandmother or grandfather face to face, Ping An's heart is still unavoidably uneasy.

The carriage didn't go fast, and the people who saw the mountains and rivers along the way were safe and excited at first, but after seeing a lot, they found it boring.

Coupled with the bumpy carriage, he didn't feel well along the way.

Seeing his small face shrinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, Tong Zhi'er felt very sorry for her.

Walking and stopping all the way, it took about three months before the group arrived in the capital.

Outside the Duke's Mansion, the old lady and others have been waiting for a long time.Seeing the approaching carriage from a distance, several people couldn't help but leaned forward.

Ji Li got off his horse, looked at them guiltily, and said, "Grandmother, father, mother, and second mother."

"Ah Li..."

The old lady and the eldest lady choked up.

The second lady's eyes were also a little red.

"Great-grandmother, grandmother, grandfather."

The soft and waxy child's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

I saw a child carved in powder and jade coming out of the carriage, with big eyes, a high nose, and a round face.

All the female family members in the Duke's Mansion suddenly became star-eyed.

Tong Zhi'er led Ping An to the crowd, and said: "Grandmother, father, mother, and second mother."
