Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

It’s confirmed, she’s pregnant.

Shi Xiaona has been pregnant for more than a month.

When the test results came out, a group of old guys were so happy.

Even He Yushui began to touch Shi Xiaona's belly carefully and happily.

But Shi Xiaona and He Yuzhu were both stunned.

As for Shi Xiaona, it might be because she is young and can still be considered a child, and it is her first pregnancy, so she is a little at a loss.

As for He Yuzhu, it just feels a little unreal.

Two lifetimes.

First time getting married, first time having kids.

He Yuzhu really didn't know how to describe this feeling of unreality.

He wanted to laugh, but he was also afraid that all this was a bubble and he was just dreaming.

When the alarm rings, everything will be over.

It's time for him to drive his second-hand Wuling back and forth in the vegetable market, busy with his day.

But if I don’t laugh, it would be a bit unreasonable.

Some of the old men who had no relatives or friends nearby were so happy that they cried for the existence of a new life.

As a father, isn't it a bit too much for him not to express his opinion?

As a result, He Yuzhu himself could feel the expression on his face was ugly.

Fortunately, no one is paying attention to He Yuzhu now, and all attention is on Shi Xiaona.

Even Shi Xiaona herself, after getting over the initial discomfort, now begins to protect her belly with a motherly look on her face.

Although, judging from her body shape now, she is not pregnant at all.

But this did not stop Shi Xiaona from talking to He Yushui beside her about what they envisioned would happen after the child was born.

The old men next to them listened with great interest and kept talking about their ideas.

However, they were so excited that their voices became louder and louder as they chased each other, with each of them saying something.

Finally, "Can you please keep your voice down? This is a public place, can you please have some manners?"

The young nurse couldn't stand the loud noise made by the group of old guys and came over and pointed at them and started to criticize them.

To be honest, this young nurse is quite brave.

This is a military hospital, and the young nurses are also wearing military uniforms.

Although I don't know what the title is.

But now, the young nurse actually dared to point at a group of 2 and 3 cents and scold them.

And this group of 2 and 3 cents people had to bow their heads and admit their mistakes obediently.

This scene made He Yuzhu laugh.

"Okay, the nurse has spoken, it's time for us to go home."

With He Yuzhu's help, a group of old men hurriedly agreed.

"Yes, yes, Xiaona, we should go home."

"Yes, yes, there are a lot of people in the hospital. Don't get bumped or bruised. It's not good."

"Hey, Lao Li, can you speak? If you can't, then don't speak. How can you speak like that?"

But as he was talking, he went astray again.

Fortunately, the young nurse's skill was on cooldown, so she didn't continue scolding, but just watched angrily from the side.

Even though the group of old men escorted Shi Xiaona out of the hospital, the young nurse was still standing there.

Back at Master Sun's house, this time, these old guys finally let loose.

We talked about the child from the time he was born to the time he grew up.

It was so close that a wife had been chosen for the child who was not due to be born for more than 8 months and had not even been named yet.

He Yuzhu was puzzled.

The baby hasn't even been born yet, and you're already studying its future?

However, after a while, this group of old men began to study what Shi Xiaona needed to pay attention to during her pregnancy.

After a while, "Zhu Zi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this time, Xiao Na is pregnant, you have to be more diligent, you know?"

Two sessions, "Zhu Zi, you are usually lazy at work, I won't say anything, but this time, Xiao Na is pregnant, you can't be lazy, understand?"

If someone doesn't know the inside story, they would think that He Yuzhu is a big shot who doesn't do any work at the company, and when he gets home, it's Shi Xiaona who does all the work.

But actually?

The reason these old guys asked He Yuzhu to be more diligent was that they wanted him to run around more at noon and bring lunch to Shi Xiaona, so that Shi Xiaona wouldn't have to eat poorly and go hungry at the unit when the rations were being reduced.

Make sense.

Although this is the first year of three years of natural disasters, people's rations are constantly decreasing.

But, let’s not talk about others, let’s just talk about the people sitting in this room.

The most "useless" one is He Yushui, she only has the quota of students.

Next, the second to last is Shi Xiaona.

But think about it seriously, is Shi Xiaona a waste?

Not to mention that her mother is an engineer in the Railway Corps and is now on a business trip, so the monthly rations are left to Shi Xiaona.

Take Shi Xiaona herself for example. After all, she is a technical level 15, 2nd assistant freight dispatcher at the railway station.

Besides, my workplace is the railway station, which belongs to the railway.

Even if the "Iron Boss" has not yet taken shape.

However, there is an invisible benefit in the train station.

That is selling some food at the train station that doesn't require a ticket.

Just this one item, in these three years.

No, it should be said that in the past 10 years, it has been able to kill everything in seconds.

All I can say is that the other people in the room are relatively strong.

Also.

Now, except He Yushui and Shi Xiaona, the rest in the room are quartermaster officers.

Of course, maybe He Yuzhu is a bit of a waste and only has a little over one cent.

Among the remaining ones, who is not a 2-cent person? Moreover, they are in a place where there are many old comrades and former superiors?

In this situation, how can they have the nerve to say "I'm afraid of being hungry"?

However, complaints are complaints.

He Yuzhu agreed very readily.

After all, that was his wife and his child.

If he doesn't even think about it, who else can?

In this way, He Yuzhu's "hard-working" life began.

Every morning, when He Yuzhu opened his eyes, the first thing he did was not to wash up, but to make breakfast for Shi Xiaona.

Otherwise, why is it called a military supply compound?

Now, others may not even have enough food to eat.

Those old guys managed to order a bottle of milk for Shi Xiaona every day.

A bottle of milk and two eggs are essential items in Shi Xiaona's breakfast.

Only under the supervision of Master Sun, Shi Xiaona could eat other food after she finished these two things.

But the reality is that Shi Xiaona can only drink a few sips occasionally.

For the rest of the time, most of the milk was either drunk by He Yuzhu or He Yushui.

After all, the milk nowadays is real milk, and it has a fishy smell.

Even if He Yuzhu added sugar while heating it, it couldn't suppress the fishy smell.

It is really a bit difficult for Shi Xiaona, who already suffers from morning sickness, to drink it.

According to Shi Xiaona, this stuff is not as delicious as malted milk.

Yes, malted milk is available now.

To be more precise, malted milk was already available overseas in 1887, and Shanghai began to produce it itself in 1930.

However, what Shi Xiaona was drinking now was not the "Shanghai Brand" that He Yuzhu drank as a child in later life.

Instead, it was produced in a factory in Tianjin.

But never mind where it's made.

Chew a spoonful dry and it's that familiar sticky feeling on your teeth.

After finishing breakfast and packing up, He Yuzhu drove and took Master Sun to send Shi Xiaona to the train station to work, and then took Master Sun to the factory.

When he arrived at the factory, He Yuzhu could think about what to eat for lunch.

Because their office in the factory was specially allocated a small area by the steel mill.

And now, the small kitchen has been taken over by He Yuzhu.

It doesn't matter whether you do it with one person or six people.

Well, why not just have six people and avoid being criticized?

When the meal is ready and the time is almost up, He Yuzhu will drive to deliver it to Shi Xiaona, who has moved from Qianmen Railway Station to the modern Beijing Railway Station about a month ago.

Because usually, He Yuzhu would prepare meals based on what Shi Xiaona wanted to eat the night before and the food allocated to the small kitchen by the factory.

Shi Xiaona was still able to eat it.

After Shi Xiaona finished eating and went back for lunch, He Yuzhu drove back to the factory.

Then, I started thinking about what to eat in the evening.

After get off work in the afternoon, He Yuzhu drove with Master Sun to pick up Shi Xiaona and returned to Master Sun's place. He also had to prepare dinner.

From time to time, she also had to bring out meals for the old men who came to visit Shi Xiaona every day.

After dinner, I have to accompany Shi Xiaona for a walk.

Repeatedly.

He Yuzhu felt that this was very different from his impression of pregnant women in the 5s and 60s.

Shi Xiaona's current treatment is comparable to that of four elderly pregnant women in later generations.

However, there is no way.

The doctor said that Shi Xiaona was too thin. She was 1 meters tall and weighed only 72 kilograms.

Moreover, it’s the first child.

In the first three months, you can never be too careful.

Moreover.

If He Yuzhu wasn't exaggerating, what would the expectations of the four elderly people mean?

If Shi Xiaona's mother is included, he now has seven elderly people waiting for him.

It is conceivable how favored Shi Xiaona is.

Just like a panda.

But He Yuzhu felt aggrieved.

I don’t know why, but Shi Xiaona’s pregnancy reaction is a bit strong now.

Sometimes when something happens, even when I'm just listening to a play, I can feel so aggrieved that I cry.

Moreover, he is the kind that is hard to coax.

That's not so bad. Just talking and laughing and making funny comments, you can make Shi Xiaona laugh without any words hitting her sensitive spot.

But when Shi Xiaona loses control of her emotions, she doesn't just cry.

Sometimes I get irritable too.

Especially when facing He Yuzhu alone, his temper became even more exaggerated.

Shi Xiaona doesn't know how to curse.

However, Shi Xiaona has mastered the art of being a hermaphrodite to perfection.

Let’s put it this way, even someone like He Yuzhu, who had experience working in the streets and communities, and who later honed his good temper by running a snack bar, would sometimes be broken down by Shi Xiaona.

Not to mention, sometimes Shi Xiaona really does use her hands to touch me.

After all, she was born in a wealthy family and married a husband who knew kung fu.

Shi Xiaona's skills are not that great, but at least, when He Yuzhu is not prepared, or dares not to be prepared, she can still break through his defense.

Actually, these are all fine.

After all, she was a pregnant woman, his wife, and she was pregnant with his child, so He Yuzhu could still endure it.

However, Shi Xiaona's taste has changed since she became pregnant.

Moreover, it is becoming more and more specialized.

In fact, coupled with Shi Xiaona's unstable emotions, what evolved was a little difficult for He Yuzhu to accept.

For example, sometimes, Shi Xiaona could clearly treat wild hawthorn as an after-meal dessert, eating it mouthful by mouthful, and it tasted so delicious.

Maybe just after one night, when Shi Xiaona ate wild hawthorn again, she would cry because of the sourness.

This is not finished.

In return, Shi Xiaona pushed the wild hawthorn directly to He Yuzhu and asked him not to waste it and to eat it all.

Ladies and gentlemen, hawthorn, or wild hawthorn, the kind that can make your teeth ache just by watching others eat it.

Now, let He Yuzhu finish eating.

this.....

oh~~~

He Yuzhu had no choice but to eat hawthorns while drooling as Shi Xiaona laughed and cried in joy.

He Yuzhu felt bitter, but he didn't say it.

It’s almost the end of October, and it’s time to stockpile sauerkraut.

Shi Xiaona came up with one idea after another.

She wants to eat kimchi, platycodon grandiflorum, and radish.

To He Yuzhu, this sounded like one thing after another.

He, He Yuzhu, is a Han Chinese.

Although, he is a Northeasterner at heart.

In the Northeast, there are also many Xian people.

However, He Yuzhu doesn’t know how to cook Xianzu side dishes.

Just when I was about to say something, I saw that Shi Xiaona's little face was already covered with tears.

"My grandma is from the Xian ethnic group. I miss her."

Well, now that’s good, He Yuzhu has to do it even if he doesn’t know how to do it.

Don’t be fooled by the short videos of later generations that are all making fun of the pickled vegetables from South Korea, saying that they are not good in this way or that way.

But when He Yuzhu really tried to do it, he found that there were actually technical barriers to this thing.

Because, when pickling these things, some "secret ingredients" are put in.

For example, the types of chili powder.

For example, the sauce to be added.

Fortunately, there may not be much else on Fuxing Road.

However, there are quite a few people from all over the world, especially from the Northeast.

It’s not difficult to find someone who can cook some fresh ethnic side dishes.

However, after He Yuzhu "went through a lot of hardships" to learn the "secret materials" and "methods" from others and finally did it.

Shi Xiaona took a few bites and didn't want to eat anymore.

This time, He Yuzhu went completely crazy.

But, as a man, you can't take your anger out on your wife.

He Yuzhu could only hide in the quilt in the room, crying in anger.

In response, Shi Xiaona found that He Yuzhu was crying because of anger, so she started crying too.

Crying and apologizing at the same time.

Now it’s fun. The two of them covered their heads with a quilt and cried while hugging their pillows.

One of them sat at the end of the bed, apologizing and crying intermittently.

Master Sun and He Yushui stood at the door and looked at each other. For a moment, they didn't know whether to go in and persuade them or just disappear.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu's emotions are relatively stable.

After crying, it's over.

After coaxing Shi Xiaona, I continued to do what I had to do.

Life went on as usual.

Until one day at noon, after delivering lunch to Shi Xiaona, He Yuzhu discovered a human trafficker.

Now, the place where He Yuzhu released his resentment was found.
