Both families were satisfied with the engagement. When Zhou Yan learned about the engagement ceremony, he was naturally moved again.

The two families discussed the wedding date together, and it was planned in advance on August 18th in the second half of the year. This is a rare and good day this year.

On the day of the engagement, the Wang family came with great fanfare, so the neighbors naturally knew about it. In fact, the Wang family also did it on purpose. Last time, these people gossiped a lot, so this time they were all worried about it and let them talk it over!

Moreover, since the two of them are engaged, they are naturally half a family. From now on, there is nothing wrong with their dealings in an open and honest manner.

…

Wang Dayi has not gone to the oil shop these days because Yang Xu's due date has arrived and he has to pay attention at all times. There are no elders in the family watching.

Wang Hongxia also came over on the 14th. She will stay at Yang Xu's house from now on, so as not to be too late.

I have also contacted the midwives, and they have been free for the past few days. When the birth is about to happen, I will rush to invite her, and it will be in time.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Yang Xu saw everyone watching over her, and she really couldn't laugh or cry.

"It's such a big holiday, everyone should still celebrate the holiday. If the time comes, I'll just call you."

Early this morning, shopkeeper Zhang and his son, Wang Hongxia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Zhou Yan all came over. The woman guarded her while the man stayed in the lobby if it was inconvenient.

"We're celebrating the festival tonight! Don't be in a hurry, I'm still with my sister. Don't be nervous, sister," Zhou Yan said.

In fact, Yang Xu is not nervous, she just has a happy-go-lucky temperament, and she has prepared mental defenses for the nervousness in advance. She has been pregnant for eight or nine months, and she is not nervous anymore.

Zhou Yan was nervous. The more she read, the more she heard women who had given birth say how painful it was. She became afraid. Seeing Sister Yang's big belly, she became very nervous.

It looks fine on weekdays, but now the more I look at it, the more frightened I am. My sister’s small body and slender waist make her belly look bigger, making it inconvenient to even sit down.

"I'm not nervous, but everyone has a good belly. Some women will give birth early, and some will delay it for several days. It's possible. Everyone is waiting here, and we don't know when.

Maybe the child won't come out today!" Yang Xu said with a smile.

The doctor just said that the fetus is normal and the baby is more likely to be born today. However, this delay is a common phenomenon and no one can guarantee it.

"Don't talk nonsense, the child can hear it. If you say this, what if he doesn't come out? Be good, let's just rest for this day, we won't delay anything, and today is a holiday, so I'll be with you.

It's just right." Wang Nan said while looking at Yang Xu's belly.

She could always remember the day she gave birth. Her cousin was very busy and even brought her old ginseng, so that she could give birth to Duoduo smoothly.

Now she can't give her cousin anything good, but at least she has to do a favor and do her part, otherwise it won't be justified.

"Okay, I get it. By the way, where's Duoduo? Why didn't you bring it?" Yang Xu asked with a smile.

"I'm here to help today. I brought him here to figure out what's going on. He's very naughty now, so I can't bring him with me. It would be terrible if I meet you. I have a rest today. I'll leave him to your cousin to take care of him!"

"

"It's normal for children to be lively and active. At Duoduo's age, it's time to be active!" Yang Xu said with a smile.

The women in the room were also talking. Everyone saw that Yang Xu was not nervous and felt relieved. It would be bad if she was too nervous!

Over there, Wang Dahu and Wang Xiaoda also came over and sat down directly here without telling Yang Xu.

"How's it going? Is Sister Yang okay? Is she nervous? I bought a black-bone chicken and will stew it after a while! Put some ginseng and let Sister Yang drink some soup." Wang Xiaoda said blah blah blah

A bunch of them.

He was too nervous. It started a few days ago. He wanted to come and take a look, but he was afraid that Sister Yang would become even more nervous when he came. Besides, he was a man and couldn't really help.

He went to ask the doctor, and the doctor said that it would be best to drink a bowl of black-bone chicken soup at this time. If conditions permit, you can put a few slices of ginseng in it.

Silky chickens were hard to buy, so Wang Xiaoda looked for them in many places, and finally bought them at a medical clinic in Jiangcheng. He brought them back overnight to raise them, and brought them over this morning.

"Okay, thank you Xiaoda, I'm going to stew it right away." Wang Dayi said with a smile.

"I'll come, I'll come, you entertain them, I'm the best at this. Anyway, I'm idle when I'm idle, and I'm still nervous when I'm idle, so it's better to find something to do." Shopkeeper Zhang said.

"Then it's troublesome, godfather." Wang Dayi did not refuse, after all, his cooking skills were not as good as those of shopkeeper Zhang.

"Everyone, sit down! Xu'er is inside, and Auntie and the others are with her! I asked her this morning too, and she's not nervous. From what I see, she really isn't nervous, so don't be nervous either."

This atmosphere, with these grown men sitting here, all waiting for a pregnant woman to make a move, is actually quite tense.

"As long as you're not nervous, Brother Dahu and I started making trouble at noon. I brought the book over and stayed with Brother Dayi for the whole day." Wang Xiaoda said with a smile.

He raised the book in his hand, and his tone was not polite at all. At this time, there was no need for him to be polite. Anyway, whatever he said today, he had to wait here.

Wang Dahu touched his nose. He felt quite embarrassed. Dada didn't know what was wrong with him, so he had to wait here and even took him with him.

We are a family here, and Yan Yan regards Yang Xu as her biological sister, and they are both girls.

These two grown men can't help, and they are not relatives like the Zhang family and his son. It's really embarrassing for them to stay here.

Also, look at the rude tone of this kid, like a gangster who insists on staying here. I rarely see him so shameless, and I don’t know what to think!

"Okay, let's have dinner together at noon." Wang Dayi agreed with a smile.

Men understand men best. Wang Xiaoda is not the kind of person who covets Yang Xu. He treats Xu'er as his sister, but he has some paranoid feelings.

He really didn't care. It was a little strange at first, but after he understood it later, he acquiesced.

Wang Xiaoda himself is the kind of paranoid person. Since he has chosen to protect Xu'er, he will definitely not change easily.

As long as there are no other inappropriate feelings and one more person loves and protects Xu'er, he happily agrees.

The black-bone chicken is a good old black-bone chicken, and it is a little difficult to cook. After shopkeeper Zhang has processed it, bring it to a boil over high heat, remove the foam, then transfer it to a small stew pot, add some ginger or something, and simmer over low heat.

"It looks like it's still early. If you don't want to leave, then let's deal with things here! You can also read a book. I have a lot of books here."

These grown men had nothing to talk about, but after talking about the children for a while, they ran out of topics.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Wang Dayi said what he just said. They were determined to spend the day here anyway, so let's find something to do!

Wang Dahu was even more embarrassed. This atmosphere was really worse than the last time he went to propose marriage. He couldn't leave either. It didn't look good to leave in the middle, and his brother and his wife were both here!

Several people stared at each other, not knowing what to say, so they just went about their own business.

Women always have a lot of topics to talk about. Some of them started talking about their children before their children were born.

"What's the name for our baby? Have you and Brother Dayi decided on it?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Well, when the child was just a few months old, Brother Dayi started reading a lot of books. Later he chose a few, discussed with me for a long time, and finally chose one. Not long ago, he found out that there should be a boy in his belly.

"Child, all the names I chose before were girls' names. These days, Brother Dayi and I chose a few more names. We just settled on one last night, Jiaze." Yang Xu said with a smile.

"Jia Ze? It's a good name. In the spring of Bude Ze, all things are shining. Jia is a symbol of all goodness and beauty, which means kindness, optimism and auspiciousness. Ze means kindness and kindness, knowing how to repay and be grateful." Zhou Yan said.

"Yanyan is right. I also think the name has a good meaning. Brother Dayi and I both hope that our children can be kind and beautiful." Yang Xu said with a smile.

"You are still scholars. If Yan Yan didn't explain it, I would hardly understand it." Wang Hongxia said with a smile.

"He is a scholar. He has just read a few books. And when it comes to naming, as long as the meaning is good and the child's name contains the expectations of adults, then it is a good name."

"That's true."

"What about the nickname?" Zhou Yan asked again.

"You have to wait until the child is born before you give him a nickname. If you don't see the child, it's hard to give him a nickname. When I touch him now, it's the baby's name." Yang Xu said with a smile.

"That's true."

"Actually, if he were born today, I could call him Little Yuanxiao." Yang Xu covered her mouth and smiled.

"It's very good! Today is a good day. If he were born today, it would be very meaningful."

Several people gathered around the nickname and had a great time, and noon soon arrived.

"I'm going to see what's for lunch. Do you want anything to eat? My godfather is here today!"

Although Shopkeeper Zhang is now a shopkeeper, he can also cook. He is a chef himself, and his cooking skills are beyond words.

"Oh, then I want to eat spicy chicken!" It's really nice to eat something spicy in winter.

"Okay, brother Dayi bought a lot of vegetables this morning, and my godfather also brought a lot of vegetables when he came over. There must be something you want to eat."

"It's almost time, let's go out together! It's not good to stay indoors all the time."

So they went out together, and when they arrived at the lobby, they saw a strange scene.

Several grown men, each sitting in a place, some were reading books and some were looking at account books. They looked strange and yet harmonious.

"Brother Dahu, why are you here?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.

It's quite strange, what are the two big men, Brother Dahu and Wang Xiaoda doing here?

"Xiao Da and I came together. He was worried about his siblings. And you were there too, so I followed..." Wang Dahu said, staring at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan blushed. This man is even more shameless now, there are so many people!

"Sister Yang!" Wang Xiaoda looked at Yang Xu and said with a smile.

"Dada, you're here, have you been here for a long time? Why don't you look for me?" Yang Xu asked with a smile.

"Not long after, I was a little worried about my sister, so I came over. Isn't Sister Yang in the house? I don't have anything to do, so I just stay here." Wang Xiaoda looked at Yang Xu closely.

"Dada, do you want to touch it? Is your belly too big?"

Yang Xu watched Wang Xiaoda look at her belly and asked with a smile. She and Dada hadn't seen each other for two months, but her belly was growing too fast. It was much bigger than two months ago.

"I, I can't, I'm just a little surprised. I didn't look this big before..."

He had also seen pregnant women, but he had never noticed it. When he saw Sister Yang's belly before, it was just a little bigger. Why was it so big now? He was a little nervous and didn't dare to get close...
