Chapter 41 Jingwen
On September 20th, Yu Zhiyuan was so scared when he saw Xuemei's belly that he rented a tricycle overnight to take Xuemei and her mother-in-law to the hospital to give birth.
When he got home from get off work, Yu Zhiyuan had just finished cooking and asked Zhiqiang to take him to the hospital.
Then I heard someone knocking on a pot in the Intermediate Court, indicating that another meeting was about to begin.
He quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and then Qiaoqiao and I each took two buns and went out. We moved two stools to Shazhu's house and sat there to eat while waiting.
When everyone was present, they saw Liu Haizhong coming out of Yi Zhonghai's house.
Behind them, Yan Bugui was still pulling Yi Zhonghai and saying something anxiously.
Wait until all three uncles sit down.
Liu Haizhong took a sip of tea before standing up: "Everyone knows that our factory has been working overtime recently to celebrate the National Day. This morning the factory said that the task has been completed and it will not be so busy in the future. The three of us decided to organize a dinner for the whole factory on this good day of National Day. Let's talk about it."
"Is your bangs this good?" Yu Zhiyuan gave Xu Damao a thumbs up.
As soon as Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he heard Liu Guangtian shouting: "I support it. We should have a dinner party on this auspicious day. The compound will be lively and lively."
Xu Damao also spoke up: "Second uncle's suggestion is good, I support it, it will make the compound lively."
Liu Haizhong asked Yi Zhonghai with a smile: "Uncle, do you have anything else to say?"
Yi Zhonghai shook his head.
Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Since it was me who proposed it, I'll pay first. I'll contribute ten dollars."
When they heard it was ten yuan, there was a lot of excitement below.
I know I can have a good meal this time.
Yi Zhonghai said, "Since Lao Liu gave ten dollars, I will also give ten dollars."
Yan Bugui said awkwardly: "In my family's situation, I will pay fifty cents."
Yan Jiecheng walked over and said, "Yan Jie, the deal is fifty cents."
This made Yan Bugui very angry, but he couldn't say anything in front of so many people.
Xu Damao yelled, "For such a lively event, I'll pay five dollars."
Yu Zhiyuan went over and said, "My family has five dollars, Zhiqiang has fifty cents."
Hao Yingjuan: "My family has two pieces"
Qin Huairu: "My family has 50 cents."
Xu Damao was not happy at the time: "Qin Huairu, your family has two working parents and the children have food rations. Your Jia Dongxu is in the hospital and the hospital has bought things to visit him. Now that there are so many people in such a lively event, you only get 50 cents. Isn't that inappropriate?"
After saying that, Xu Damao turned back to look at Yi Zhonghai: "What do you think? Uncle?"
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he wanted to throw the jar away and leave.
The neighbors also started pointing and talking.
If this continues, the Jia family will not be able to stay in the courtyard. His family's income level is at least upper-middle class.
Yu Zhiyuan almost laughed out loud as he thought, "Let me see how your uncle can protect me. As long as you set your target, I will have a rope to lead you."
Jia Dongxu saw that there was no way out, so he walked over and said, "Uncle, my family can add another dollar and fifty cents to make up the two dollars."
After looking at the registration, he pulled Qin Huairu out of the crowd.
After everyone had paid, Yan Bugui began to count the money and finally reported the amount to everyone.
Sixty dollars in total.
The money was placed on the table and no one said anything.
Finally, it was Liu Haizhong who picked up the money and said, "Let the young people do the shopping."
Yan Bugui's old face turned red.
"Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian, Yan Jiecheng, the three of you go shopping. There will be a dinner for the whole hospital on the afternoon of October 1st. The three of you must complete the task beautifully."
Xu Damao took the money and said to Liu Haizhong with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it beautifully and properly."
Yu Zhiyuan returned home happily.
There is a crack, but it cannot be closed.
If Yi Zhonghai wants to suppress Liu Haizhong, he must involve Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui's calculating nature is definitely enough to make Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong suffer.
If he just gives them some fanning when the time comes, it will definitely be enough to keep his three brothers busy.
I don't understand, Yi Zhonghai, wouldn't it be good for you to just find someone to take care of you in your old age and live in peace?
I just washed Qiaoqiao’s little feet. One day, she ran around in the school yard and her socks were all wet.
After coaxing my daughter to sleep and sitting down to eat a few bites of food, Zhiqiang came in pushing the cart.
"Brother-in-law, please go to the hospital quickly. My sister has just been pushed into the delivery room. Mom asked me to come back and stew a chicken. After the birth, she will ask my sister to drink some."
Yu Zhiyuan heard this and said, "There are dried chicken ears in the room. You can stew them first, and I will buy some tomorrow morning."
I went to the bedroom, picked up my daughter, knocked on the old lady's door, and let Qiaoqiao sleep there for one night.
He ran to Sha Zhu's house, borrowed He Yushui's car and rushed to the First Hospital.
Yu Zhiyuan ran to the operating room and saw his mother-in-law sitting on a stool outside, so he hurried over.
"Mom, what's going on? How long have you been in there?"
"It's been more than half an hour. The doctor said Xuemei was in good health and the fetal position was normal, so he went in."
Yu Zhiyuan helped his mother-in-law sit down and wait together.
In the middle, Yu Zhiyuan ran to the stairwell and smoked two cigarettes.
After waiting anxiously for more than half an hour, at a quarter past ten, a nurse came out holding a baby.
"Is Yang Xuemei's family here?"
Hearing this, Yu Zhiyuan quickly helped his mother-in-law over and said, "We are."
"The baby was born at 10:10, weighing 7.2 jin, and both mother and baby are safe. The mother is being cleaned up now, and she will be able to return to the ward soon. You can take a look at the baby first."
The mother-in-law took the cloth bag.
Yu Zhiyuan stretched his head over to take a look. It was red, with closed eyes, a pouting mouth, and sparse hair on its head.
Yu Zhiyuan only looked at it for a minute before being taken away by the nurse for examination.
After waiting anxiously for another half an hour, Yang Xuemei was brought out lying on a cart with wet hair.
Her son was also placed under her left armpit, and Yang Xuemei held him loosely with her arm.
After Xuemei was pushed into the ward, her mother-in-law held the baby and kept looking at her, laughing as she watched.
After holding the baby for a while, the baby started crying loudly. The nurse hurried over, closed the curtain, cleaned Xuemei's breasts, and then fed the baby.
Yu Zhiyuan felt relieved only when the child stopped crying.
Before the child finished feeding, Yang Zhiqiang came in carrying a net bag.
Yu Zhiyuan asked his mother-in-law to eat first so that she wouldn't get too tired.
After drawing the curtain, Yu Zhiyuan took out the chicken soup and fed Xuemei with a spoon. He also let her eat a few pieces of meat before he felt relieved.
Yang Zhiqiang looked at the baby and smiled.
"Boss, you haven't named the child yet!"
"I've already thought about it. My full name is Yu Jingwen. My nickname is Wenwen."
Afterwards, Yu Zhiyuan changed the car keys and let Yang Zhiqiang ride He Yushui's bike back.
"Don't bring food so early tomorrow morning. Just send Qiaoqiao to school in the morning."
After seeing Zhiqiang off, Yu Zhiyuan asked his mother-in-law to sleep on the small bed next to him.
Watching Xuemei fall asleep and Wenwen being so happy, Yu Zhiyuan had a silly smile on his face.
The next morning, Yu Zhiyuan took the leftover chicken soup from last night to the hospital cafeteria to heat it up, came back to feed Xuemei, and then rushed to Dongdan with the food.
He pretended to buy two pig's trotters, a few crucian carps, and caught two live old hens before returning to the courtyard.
"Zhiyuan, Xuemei gave birth?"
"Yes, Auntie. Big fat boy, I have to go back and clean up and make the soup."
