After Qin Huairu went to cook reluctantly, the room became silent for a while.

The atmosphere was becoming increasingly depressing. It was time for the son-in-law Jia Dongxu to liven up the atmosphere, but he was unable to do anything.

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai was there and he quickly took out cigarettes and passed them to Qin Dafeng and Jia Dongxu.

Finally, the atmosphere began to liven up.

Qin Dafeng talked about some things in the village, and Yi Zhonghai talked about some things in the factory, but since it was their first meeting, they were not very familiar with each other, so both sides spoke in a positive way.

Of course, we inevitably talked about children and the issue of retirement.

Jia Dongxu smoked a cigarette and his mouth was full of nonsense. He proudly told his father-in-law that he would provide for his master in his old age, as if it was such an honorable thing.

Qin Dafeng felt a little uncomfortable, because that meant that his daughter would also have to help with the elderly care, so he asked tentatively:

"Master Yi, you are younger than me, why don't you consider having a child yourself?"

Yi Zhonghai replied somewhat unnaturally: "My wife is in poor health and it is not easy for her to get pregnant. There is nothing we can do about it.

Dongxu and Huairu are both sensible children, don't worry, brother, I will not treat them unfairly."

Qin Dafeng felt that he had been a little rash, so he tried to make amends by saying, "Have you asked Anping to take a look?

If he could help with the treatment, maybe there would still be a chance. Anping's medical skills are incredible.

We in the village didn’t realize it before, but only recently heard that he was rated as a national advanced medical skill because of his excellent medical skills. You people in the city should know it better.

Actually, I’m not afraid of you laughing at me, but my family is pregnant again, probably because of the medicine prescribed by Dr. Cao.”

Yi Zhonghai asked quickly: "I know that Doctor Cao is a skilled doctor. What medicine did he prescribe for you?"

Qin Dafeng could only reply embarrassedly: “I don’t know what medicine it is, but it was prepared by Anping.

When our village chief gave it to me, I took it without asking any questions. I didn’t expect it to be so effective. Now that I think about it, the timing was just right.”

Yi Zhonghai felt itchy, but he pretended to be helpless and said:

"There's nothing I can do about it. My family's situation is different. I'm normal. Doctor Cao said he only specializes in men's medicine and doesn't treat women."

In fact, he was already thinking in his mind whether he could find a way to get the medicine that Qin Dafeng mentioned.

He didn't expect that Cao Anping really had such ability. Maybe Xu Damao could really be cured. Then did he have a chance?

Yi Zhonghai decided to observe and see. If Xu Damao could really become a father next year, he would have to change his attitude towards Cao Anping.

Qin Dafeng was puzzled, "I haven't heard that Anping doesn't treat women. He doesn't differentiate between men and women when treating patients in the village. He even gave acupuncture to the village head's wife."

But he was not stupid, so he didn't ask the questions in his mind.

Jia Zhang was upset when she heard Qin Dafeng praising Cao Anping, so she said in a sarcastic tone:

"My dear, Cao Anping is not a good guy, don't be fooled by him.

I guess he took the credit deliberately after hearing what you said. That guy is very bad. He even cheated my family out of 500 yuan.

You are from the same village, so you should be his elder, why don’t you try to persuade him to return the money to us?

That money will be given to your daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren in the future, how about you help out?"

Qin Dafeng was puzzled and thought to himself: "I think you are the least like a good person. How can the advanced people in the country be as bad as you say? And do you think your Jia family can afford 500 yuan?"

He was too lazy to ask the reason, and could only perfunctorily say: "I'll ask, but it must be a misunderstanding."

Jia Zhang was relentless, "That's not a misunderstanding. If you don't believe me, ask Dongxu's master. He was also harmed by Cao Anping."

Yi Zhonghai interrupted quickly, "Sister-in-law Jia, stop talking. It was just a misunderstanding. It's all over."

He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Jia Zhang and Cao Anping anymore, and no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he wouldn't get involved in such bad things. You should wait until he leaves before discussing it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward again, Qin Huairu fortunately came out of the kitchen and shouted, "Get ready to eat."

Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "Then you guys eat. I'm going to go back first. I think my family is waiting for me to eat."

There were two more people for dinner, so what Qin Huairu cooked before was not enough, so she cooked a few more sweet potatoes, added the already prepared steamed bread, and made some egg and cabbage soup, so it didn't take much time.

After the food was served, there were no rules at all. Bang Geng and Jia Zhang started eating right away. Each of them took two steamed buns and put them in their bowls, and then they kept picking up eggs from the soup and eating them.

Qin Dafeng and his wife each took a sweet potato, and before they knew it, the eggs were almost finished.

Qin Huairu quickly picked up a piece for each of her parents, and then picked up a piece for Xiaodang. When she wanted to eat more, it was gone.

Jia Zhang curled her lips. If the egg had not been brought by the other party and it was not cooked too ugly, she would have thrown away her chopsticks.

Bang Geng was not satisfied yet and was clamoring for eggs.

Jia Zhang comforted him, "Don't make a fuss, Banggeng. If you haven't had enough, ask your grandpa to send you some more eggs. There are hens in the countryside, and I'm afraid you can't eat all the eggs."

Qin Dafeng felt increasingly disappointed and swore to himself that he would never come to the Jia family again. From then on, he no longer envied the people in the city and even looked down on them a little.

But he didn't get angry at all. Anyway, he wouldn't come again in the future, and he couldn't make things difficult for his daughter. He just endured it for a while. He forced a smile, picked up a piece of egg from the bowl and gave it to Bang Geng, saying:

"You can eat the bonbon, Grandpa doesn't like eggs."

"Give me grandma's too. I'm not that hungry and don't really want to eat."

Banggeng didn't even say thank you. He just picked up the egg and stuffed it into his mouth. After eating it, he continued to pick up the egg flowers in the soup.

Qin Huairu felt very uncomfortable watching this, and she tried every way to save some money so that she could go back and honor her parents during the Chinese New Year.

It wasn't simply that she wanted to save face, but she felt a little sorry for her parents and wanted to make up for it during the New Year.

At the last meal, most of the eggs went into the mouths of Jia Zhang and Bang Geng, and even Jia Dongxu only ate one piece of egg.

Qin Dafeng and his wife only ate one sweet potato each, shared half a steamed bun, and drank some soup. They did not get back one third of the money they had taken out.

After dinner, a new question came up. Jia Zhang asked, "Huairu, how are you going to arrange for your parents to stay? We don't have enough space for them."

Although she was telling the truth, it was really infuriating to hear.

Qin Dafeng finally couldn't help it, he said in a bad tone: "We have a place to live, don't worry, old woman, let's go."
