Comfortable life in Siheyuan

At the Jia family's house in the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu looked around for a few days but couldn't find anyone to help take care of her daughter-in-law during her confinement.

Everyone in the courtyard knew the Jia family. No one wanted to take their job. Even the third aunt shook her head when she heard it. She quickly said that she was too old and couldn't do it.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to ask Huaihua to take two days off and come back to serve her.

That evening, Huaihua also confronted Qin Huairu.

"Mom, please come back tomorrow to take care of my sister-in-law. I've taken several days off this month. If I don't go, I'll lose my job!"

Huaihua's job was not a formal one to begin with, and she was just a temporary worker in a small food factory. The food factory was busy, and she kept asking for leave, so when would she have the chance to become a regular employee?

"Mom, there's nothing we can do. Can you please work hard for two more days? Consider it as a beg from me!" Qin Huairu pleaded helplessly.

"You said the same thing before, and I..." Huaihua pouted in grievance!

"Mom, let's look for it tomorrow. Just hold on for two more days, just two days!" Qin Huairu promised in a low voice.

As they were talking, Xiaodang walked in at the gate of the courtyard with her husband, pregnant.

"Xiaodang is back? Your belly is quite big! Be careful where you walk!" The third uncle was watering the flowers at this time. When he saw Xiaodang and his wife come in, he greeted them warmly.

"I got it, Third Uncle! Aren't you coming back to see my nephew? As his aunt, I must come back to see him!" Xiaodang said with a smile.

"The little guy is quite fair, you should go back and take a look!" The third uncle knew that the two were anxious to see the child, so he didn't talk much.

As soon as Xiaodang walked into the house, he shouted loudly.

"Mom, where is my nephew? My aunt is back!" Xiaodang looked at Qin Huairu and Huaihua happily and asked loudly.

"Keep your voice down. You're still pregnant. What are you yelling about?" Qin Huairu glanced at Xiaodang, then looked at her son-in-law with a serious face.

"Mom! We're back!" Zheng Qiulai put the gift in his hand on the table.

"It's enough for the person to come back. Why waste this money!" Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"Mom, my brother is not at home?" Xiaodang found a stool and sat down.

"Your brother has gone to work. Your nephew and your sister-in-law are in the room now! I'll go see if the child is awake!" Qin Huairu walked to the next room and knocked on the door gently.

"Xiao Li, is the child asleep? His aunt and uncle are back and want to see the child!" Qin Huairu spoke in a low voice, fearing that the child was still sleeping.

"Mom, wait a moment, the baby is drinking milk! Come over and hold him later!" Wang Li, who was feeding her baby in the room at the time, responded in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll come over and hold the baby later!"

After a few minutes, Qin Huairu pushed open the door, and Wang Li had already packed up.

"Lili, I'll take the child to next door. You can take a rest for a while. What do you want to eat in the evening?" Qin Huairu asked with a smile.

"Mom, make some fish soup tonight. I'm tired of eating chicken soup these past two days!"

Wang Li had been drinking chicken soup and pig's trotter soup these days. She didn't add any seasonings, just a little bit of salt. She really had no appetite.

"Okay, Mom will ask Huaihua to buy it later!" Qin Huairu agreed happily.

Qin Huairu came to the next room carrying her grandson, and Xiaodang reached out to take him with a smile.

"Be careful! You're still pregnant!" Qin Huairu said unhappily as she looked at her clumsy daughter.

"I know what's going on, don't worry! Nephew, I'm your aunt! Why are you so white?" Xiao Dang was teasing the child, and Zheng Qiulai also came over to watch.

"This child looks like your brother, and is as fair-skinned as Banggeng when he was a child." Qin Huairu explained.

"Mom, have you chosen a name for the child? I still don't know what my eldest nephew's name will be!" Xiaodang asked puzzledly.

"No, I've told your brother and your sister-in-law several times. They just can't make up their minds." Qin Huairu felt helpless. Suddenly she remembered that Wang Li wanted to drink fish soup, and then she said to Huaihua, "Huaihua, go to the street and buy two crucian carps. Your sister-in-law wants to drink fish soup."

"No need to trouble you, little sister. I'll go." Zheng Qiulai took the task with a smile.

"No need. How can I let you go for this?" Qin Huairu looked at her son-in-law embarrassedly, but still planned to let Huaihua make the trip.

"It's okay, Mom! Just let Qiu go. It's almost dark. It's not safe for Huaihua to make the trip."

Xiaodang spoke, and Zheng Qiulai walked out immediately as if he had received an order.

Jia Zhang, who was sitting in the inner room, also came out at this time, came up to the child and looked at him lovingly for a few times, then said: "How about Huairu, you talk to Banggeng and decide on a nickname first, so that we can call him by it. The full name can be decided when the household registration is registered."

"Yes, grandma is right! How can the only child in our Jia family be without a name? The name must be decided tonight!" Xiaodang and Huaihua also agreed with this statement.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. When your brother comes back later, I'll discuss it with him!"

After a while, Zheng Qiulai came in carrying two fishes. "Mom, I bought the fishes. I'll go to the kitchen to clean them up."

"You don't have to clean up, I can do it myself!" Qin Huairu quickly stopped her eldest son-in-law who was about to go to the kitchen, took the fish and went to deal with it herself.

"Mom, I often clean up at home, it's okay!" Zheng Qiulai explained with a smile.

"That won't work either. Go and take a rest. I'll fix it quickly!"

Qin Huairu moved quickly, and after about ten minutes, the aroma of fish soup came from the kitchen. At this time, Banggeng also came back from outside.

"Brother, you're back!"

"Why are you back? You're pregnant, so why are you going back and forth?" Banggeng frowned and looked at Xiaodang, saying with some blame.

"As an aunt, I have to come back to see the child! By the way, why don't you give the child a name? It would be more convenient if you just give him a nickname first!"

"Okay, I'll decide on it in a moment."

Banggeng had thought about it for a long time, but the surname Jia really required some knowledge to come up with a good name. His mediocre education level was really bad, so now the naming was handed over to his father-in-law.

"Banggeng, wait a moment! Bring this fish soup to your wife. Your brother-in-law just bought the crucian carp!" Qin Huairu called Banggeng at the kitchen door and asked him to bring the fish soup into the house!

"Okay, I'll take it in first!"

During dinner, the Jia family gave the child a nickname at the table, Liangliang!

When the child was registering his household registration, no other member of the Jia family went, only Banggeng went with his father-in-law.

But after Banggeng came back, his face was obviously a little unnatural. He also put the household registration booklet under the pillow and didn't take it out.

……

"What's the child's name? When was he born?"

"The child will be named Wang Peng, which means "Peng" in Chinese: Peng spreads its wings!
