Chapter 1863

Guo Suhua said, "You wouldn't know this, but he looks exactly like you did when you were born. It's a pity there are no photos of you when you were born."

Su Xinghui said, "Right, we must invite a photographer later to help him take a birth photo."

Guo Suhua smiled, "Okay."

Su Xinghui helped Lu Xiaoya lean against the pillows and served her breakfast. He and Guo Suhua also ate, and then the doctor came for rounds.

This doctor was none other than Director Chen, who had delivered Lu Xiaoya's baby yesterday. She was in her forties, with a beautiful face and a kind demeanor. As soon as she entered, Su Xinghui said, "Director Chen, thank you for your hard work yesterday!"

Guo Suhua also said, "Director Chen, thank you so much!"

Director Chen waved her hand, "This is what we doctors should do. Please don't be so polite."

After finishing, Director Chen personally examined Lu Xiaoya and the child. She checked that all indicators were normal, told Lu Xiaoya some precautions, and said that Lu Xiaoya could go home after observing for three days in the hospital. Then she nodded to Su Xinghui and Guo Suhua and went out.

Guo Suhua was full of smiles, "It's truly the Bodhisattva's blessing. Xiaoya gave birth so smoothly, how wonderful."

Su Xinghui naturally wouldn't point out his mother's superstition. He said to her, "Mom, you go back to rest too."

Li Shuqin also said, "Yes, Sister Guo, you go back to rest too. You've been here all night, you must be tired."

Guo Suhua shook her head, "No need. I sleep less now, and I slept at night, so I'm not tired at all."

Su Xinghui knew his mother's feelings, so he had to let her be.

Before long, Hou Wenhai brought Lu Zhenghong, Su Wenjun, and the others over. The ward became lively again, but seeing the child still in a deep sleep, they all lowered their voices.

Lu Zhenghong asked Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, what name do you plan to give the child?"

Su Xinghui looked at his father. Su Wenjun smiled and said, "The child's name should be chosen by you, the father."

Su Xinghui didn't decline anymore. It was only right for a father to name his son.

After pondering for a long time, he said, "Then I'll name him Weizhen."

Lu Zhenghong pondered, "Weizhen... 'Wei Zhou Zhi Zhen' (The pillar of Zhou). Hmm, a good name!"

Su Wenjun had naturally read this poem too, and he nodded, "Hmm, this name is good."

The name Weizhen came from a poem in the *Classic of Poetry* (*Shijing*), "Da Ya - Wen Wang Zhi Shi - Wen Wang," which wrote: "Thinking of the many talented men, born in this kingdom. The kingdom is able to produce them, they are the pillars of Zhou."

The general meaning of this poem was that King Wen of Zhou treated the virtuous with respect and recruited many talented men, and these men became the pillars that sustained the Zhou dynasty.

Su Xinghui giving his son this name naturally contained his deep expectations for him. Lu Zhenghong and Su Wenjun had both read this poem, and they understood Su Xinghui's intention as soon as they heard it, so they all nodded in approval.

Lu Xiaoya had naturally read this poem too, and she liked the name very much upon hearing it.

Although others didn't know the poem, since the child's grandfather, maternal grandfather, and mother all said it was good, it was naturally a good name. Moreover, the name Su Weizhen sounded pleasant and elegant, so they naturally liked it too.

Guo Suhua said, "The child has a formal name, so let's pick a nickname?"

Lu Zhenghong smiled, "In-law, why don't you, the grandmother, pick a nickname for the child?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Guo Suhua thought for a while and said, "Then his nickname will be Niuniu (Ox), since he was born in the Year of the Ox."

Everyone said this nickname was good, so the child's formal name and nickname were both decided.

That day, many more people rushed to the hospital to visit Lu Xiaoya and the child. Friends like Yu Ruizhi came to the hospital again, buying many more nutritional supplements and clothes for Lu Xiaoya and the child. Although Su Xinghui said the ward was already piled high with things, they said it was their heartfelt gesture, so they were placed in the mountain of gifts.

Ma Sheng, Xue Hongping, and others from Matou Township came, as did leaders from several townships in the county. Subsequently, many leaders from Yulin City also came. Of course, they didn't come just because of Su Xinghui, but more because Lu Zhenghong had also come to Changshan. Changshan County had reported this to the city last night.

Shangjun County Party Secretary Zhang Kaishan also came, along with County Magistrate Chen Hongfu and others, including Su Xinghui's classmates Zhang Cheng and Wu Jun. Even Bao Wenting from the Pengjiawan Town Special Steel Factory came.

Guests arrived one after another. Some came, left gifts, and left. Some who had closer relationships or came from further away needed to be entertained. Yu Ruizhi and the others volunteered to help Su Xinghui entertain the guests. Su Xinghui had to take care of his wife and child and truly didn't have the energy to entertain guests, so he could only thank Yu Ruizhi and the others and let them help.

No matter how careful the guests were, the ward was crowded with many people, making it feel busy and chaotic. Su Xinghui kept nodding and smiling at the arriving guests, feeling even more tired than on his wedding day.

Suddenly, he saw two heads peeking into the room at the door. He looked closely and saw it was Cao Jingui and her young daughter, He Xiaoping.

Their faces were timid. Clearly, they had received the news and came to visit Lu Xiaoya and the child, but seeing so many people in the ward, they didn't dare to enter.

Su Xinghui quickly got up and went to the door of the ward, saying, "Auntie Cao, Xiaoping, come in quickly."

Cao Jingui was carrying a large basket filled with eggs, probably two or three hundred of them. He Xiaoping was holding two old hens in her hands, which were still struggling.

Cao Jingui said, "Magistrate Su, I heard you had a baby at home. We country folk don't have many good things, just these old hens raised at home, and these eggs were all laid by the hens at home. Some were even from the villagers; when they heard I was coming to the hospital, they all put their own eggs into my basket. Please don't look down on them!"

Su Xinghui looked at the basket of eggs, feeling as if his throat was choked. These farm eggs, although small in size, weighed at least twenty pounds for those two or three hundred eggs. Cao Jingui, this thin and small woman, had carried them all the way here. Just this heartfelt gesture was heavy.

Su Xinghui felt that this was one of the most precious gifts they had received today. How could he look down on it?

Su Xinghui quickly said thank you and took the large basket. It was indeed quite heavy. He placed the eggs on the floor and had He Xiaoping put the two old hens on the balcony behind the ward, to be taken back by Li Shuqin later. Such home-raised old hens were good things for a mother to replenish her body.

Cao Jingui said to Su Xinghui, "These eggs can be boiled into red eggs, and can also replenish your wife's body. If it's not enough, I'll bring more tomorrow. I really can't carry any more today."

Su Xinghui quickly said, "Auntie Cao, really no need, I'm already very grateful!"
