Comfortable life in Siheyuan

In the evening, Liu Qingshan and Feng Yu went straight to Xixi's room after dinner.

"Xixi, your parents want to talk to you about something!" Feng Yu knocked on the door and said in a low voice.

"Squeak!" Xixi opened the door and looked at the two of them in confusion. "Mom and Dad, what are you doing? Why are you so serious?"

"Your mother and I feel that the streets are too chaotic now, with a lot of people fighting and quarreling with their wives. We want you to live near your workplace. Don't run back and forth, it's unsafe." Liu Qingshan explained slowly.

"You are overthinking it. My workplace is not far from home, and I haven't started the night shift yet. It shouldn't be unsafe to be on the road in broad daylight!" Xixi looked indifferent. She has a straightforward personality.

"What should we do if we have to work overtime in the future? It's not safe to be on the road late at night?" Feng Yu said worriedly.

"If I have to work overtime in the future, I will just stay in the dormitory for one night. I still have to go home to live on weekdays. Otherwise, I will have to spend a lot of money on food every month!" Xixi joked with a smile.

"Bah! You little money-grubber. Your dad and I are worried about your safety, but you've learned to be calculating from your third uncle! I'll beat you up!" Feng Yu pretended to be angry and slapped her on the butt twice.

"Okay, let's leave it at that. Next time you get off work late, don't come back and just stay at the company." Liu Qingshan also thought this was the best way. He was a little worried about leaving him outside.

After the couple finished talking, they got up and went back to the house.

……

At the Jia family in the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu specially asked for leave these two days. Her daughter-in-law Wang Li was about to give birth these two days, so Qin Huairu specially stewed soybean and pig's trotter soup early in the morning and brought it over.

Qin Huairu's daughter-in-law went to the Sixth Hospital. She had acquaintances there, so Qin Huairu had greeted them early on.

When they arrived at the hospital, daughter-in-law Wang Li and her son were in the ward. When they saw the pig's trotter soup brought by Qin Huairu, a smile appeared on their faces.

"Lili, are you hungry? I made some soup for you, you can eat some first. Giving birth is a physical job, you need to eat enough to have strength." Qin Huairu opened the lunch box with a smile on her face, then took out a small bowl and filled it up.

"Lili, your mother-in-law is right. You will have strength only if you are full. You need to eat more!" The mother-in-law took the soup from Qin Huairu's hand and fed it to her daughter herself!

Qin Huairu looked around and didn't see Banggeng. She was a little confused. His wife was about to give birth, so where was he? Didn't he also take a leave?

"Jia Geng went back to get things. These two greenhorns have no experience and didn't get everything. I asked him to go back and get things quickly." The mother-in-law guessed what Qin Huairu was thinking by looking at her expression!

"It's also my mother-in-law's fault for not explaining it clearly. My son is so clumsy!" Qin Huairu said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.

The two were not very familiar with each other and had nothing to talk about. The ward became quiet for a while, with only the sound of Wang Li eating.

After waiting for half an hour, Banggeng finally came running over, sweating profusely, with a bag in his hand.

Qin Huairu walked over and took the things in her hand, then whispered, "Go wash your face quickly, look at how sweaty you are!"

Bang Geng responded, turned around, rinsed himself with cold water, and came back.

Qin Huairu opened the bundle and checked it carefully. She was relieved when she saw that everything was there.

"You too, didn't mom pack your things for you a long time ago? How come you forgot about it?" Qin Huairu tapped the stick stem with her fingers a few times, her tone filled with reproach.

"I was in a hurry to go out and took the wrong one. I put the two bags together. I didn't have time to check." Banggeng scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, as long as it doesn't delay anything." The mother-in-law looked at Banggeng and said.

Not long after Banggeng's wife drank the pig's trotter soup, her stomach began to ache. Qin Huairu hurriedly ran to call the nurse, and soon she was pushed into the delivery room.

Several people stood at the door anxiously waiting for about an hour before they heard a loud cry coming from inside.

After a while, the nurse came out with a child in her arms. She stood at the door and asked loudly, "Who is Wang Li's family member?"

Bang Geng quickly responded: "Yes, I am her husband!"

"Congratulations, both mother and child are safe, it's a boy weighing 5.72 kg!" The nurse held the child in her hands and showed it to several people. Qin Huairu took the child and held him in her arms.

After a few minutes, Wang Li came out with the help of a nurse, holding onto the wall. Her hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead. Her face was pale.

"What are you standing there for? Help your wife over there!" The nurse looked at the three people whose attention was on the child and reminded them loudly.

"Coming, coming." Banggeng hurried over and took his wife over.

The few of them walked slowly towards the ward.

Qin Huairu took out the candy that Liu Qingshan had given her last time from the cloth bag she carried with her and gave some to the doctors and nurses.

"Lili, you are so capable. You gave birth to a boy for our family as your first child. Our Jia family is lucky to have this one male. Now, I have a grandson too." Qin Huairu looked at her grandson in her arms, her eyes full of love.

In the afternoon, Qin Huairu took her empty lunch box and hurried home, firstly to report the good news, and secondly to prepare some soup to bring back.

Outside the courtyard gate, Jia Zhang was standing at the door leaning on a cane, her eyes looking towards the alley. Even if someone greeted her, she didn't bother to respond.

Finally, seeing Qin Huairu hurriedly coming back, Jia Zhangshi's face had a different expression.

"Huai Ru! Is the baby born?"

"It's born! It's born! It's a boy!" Qin Huairu shouted happily!

"Our Jia family also has a successor. Lili, you are a great contributor to our Jia family! Hurry up and prepare the chicken soup. I have it stewed in the pot. Please send it to my granddaughter-in-law right away!" Jia Zhang shouted happily with an excited look on her face!

The two of them walked into the courtyard together. Before the third uncle had time to ask, Jia Zhang started talking: "Bang Geng gave birth to a son. I have a great-grandson!"

The third uncle was stunned for a moment, then immediately said in surprise: "Oh, congratulations, this is a great event! This joke has done a great service to your Jia family! Aunt Jia, shouldn't we celebrate at home?"

"We have to celebrate, but Huairu has to go take care of the child. Let's wait until they bring the child back in two days!"

Qin Huairu simply wiped her face when she got home, then went to the kitchen to find a net bag and put the casserole in it! She didn't touch the whole casserole with chicken soup, and was ready to send it to the hospital!

When she reached the door, she saw Jia Zhang still chatting with someone, and she loudly reminded him, "Mom, when Huaihua comes back from get off work tonight, tell her. Ask her to tell her sister. I'm leaving first, so just eat something tonight!"

"Didn't you leave any chicken soup for me? You took it all away!" Jia Zhang looked at the net bag in Qin Huairu's hand and muttered softly.

Qin Huairu didn't hear it either and hurried out the door.
