Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

With the approval of Director Yang and Li Huaide, Sha Zhu and a few others took over the cooking in the small kitchen.

Each time they took turns, and each of them brought his or her junior fellow student to the second canteen to cook a small meal.

He Daqing also went to give them special guidance in his spare time, and taught everyone some special seasonings little by little.

As the meals cooked in the small kitchen became better and better, the factory hosted more and more guests, and the overall cooking skills of He Daqing's apprentices also improved.

Now, not only Sha Zhu, Zhang Tieshao, Luo Xiaofeng and Nan Yi have improved their cooking skills, but even Ma Hua who joined last and several new chefs have become more and more skilled, and they can basically prepare some home-cooked dishes with ease.

He Daqing feels that if things continue like this, in another one or two years, basically all of these apprentices will be able to graduate and become chefs in some restaurants.

However, thinking about the big turmoil that would happen in a year or two, He Daqing decided that it would be best to let them stay in the steel mill peacefully. At least everyone here understands it, and the situation is better than outside.

As a master, he has to consider more for his disciples.

Time flies by as we continue to improve our cooking skills.

In the blink of an eye, it’s almost the end of the year.

These days, Nan Yi is the busiest person. Liang Ladi's due date is approaching, and she has been sent to the hospital for this period of time.

Because of Liang Ladi's health condition, Nan Yi had already used his connections to get her admitted to the hospital in advance.

After more than half a year of recuperation, Liang Ladi's health is getting better and better.

Her work was an important reason for her poor health. Over the past six months, at Nan Yi's insistence, Liang Ladi took a long vacation to rest at home, which helped her to recover a little.

Da Mao and Er Mao also knew that they would soon have a younger brother or sister, so they were all very happy and looked forward to seeing their younger brother or sister as soon as possible every day.

That night, Nan Yi stayed with Liang Ladi in the hospital. In the middle of the night, Liang Ladi suddenly had a stomachache.

Nan Yi didn't have time to think about it, so he hurried to call the nurse and doctor.

After the doctor's examination, Liang Ladi was sent to the delivery room.

Nan Yi had been guarding the door of the delivery room from midnight to dawn, but no news came out from inside, which made Nan Yi very anxious.

Just when he couldn't bear it any longer, the sound of a baby crying suddenly came from the delivery room.

Nan Yi was stunned on the spot. He listened quietly to the intermittent crying and felt very excited.

Although he always said that he didn't care whether he had his own children or not, he treated Da Mao and Er Mao as his own children from the bottom of his heart.

But only when he had his own child did he truly experience the joy of being a father.

Nan Yi carefully lay at the door and listened to the noise inside. After a while, the door of the delivery room was opened, and a little nurse came out holding a wrapped baby.

She smiled and said to Nan Yi: "Congratulations, both mother and child are safe. You can go and see the child first, her mother will be out soon."

As he said this, he carefully handed the package in his arms to Nan Yi.

Nan Yi took the package carefully, and when he looked at his son who was wrapped tightly inside with only a small face the size of a palm showing, the feeling of blood connection made him very excited.

As it was Nan Yi's first time holding his own child, he breathed much slower, just like other men who became fathers for the first time, for fear of hurting the little guy.

Seeing Nan Yi being so fond of the child and being so careful, the nurse wanted to laugh. Liang Ladi felt like Nan Yi was being a father for the first time, as it was not his first time giving birth. In fact, she was right. Nan Yi was truly being a father for the first time.

Before Nan Yi could fully experience the joy of having a child, Liang Ladi was pushed out of the delivery room by the doctor and the nurse.

Seeing Liang Ladi's pale face, Nan Yi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is my wife?"

The doctor replied: "It's okay, your wife is weak and may have fallen asleep due to exhaustion. She will wake up after a short rest."

"But I can tell you that this birth has caused even greater harm to your wife. You must never let her give birth again in the future, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

Nan Yi nodded quickly and said, "I understand, doctor. We will never have children again, don't worry."

As Liang Ladi was pushed back to the ward, the doctor and the nurse gave some instructions and left.

Nan Yi put the child aside and was about to go over to take care of Liang Ladi, but the little guy suddenly started crying loudly. The voice was so clear and loud that Nan Yi was a little at a loss.

Liang Ladi was awakened by the loud crying. She looked weakly at Nan Yi who was at a loss, and said with a forced smile: "Give the child to me, he may be hungry."

Nan Yi suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly picked up the child and handed him to Liang Ladi.

Seeing the child stop crying immediately after eating, Nan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

While feeding the child, Liang Ladi said, "Do you like it? Look who the child looks like?"

Nan Yi nodded and said, "Of course I look like you. If I were like you, it would be hard for me to get married in the future. But forget it this time. You must not be so desperate next time. The doctor said that if you have another child in the future, your body will definitely not be able to bear it. Do you hear me?"

Seeing Nan Yi pretending to be serious, Liang Ladi smiled and nodded.

She gently stroked the child in her arms and said, "It's worth it no matter how hard it is. I can't let your Nan family lose its roots here."

Nan Yi scolded softly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have always treated Damao and the others as my own children. You know that."

The two were talking, and after a while the child was full and fell asleep again.

Liang Ladi was also too tired to continue sleeping.

Nan Yi watched the mother and son sleeping soundly. He left the hospital and hurriedly rode his bike back to the courtyard to report the news. At the same time, he also had to stew chicken soup for Liang Ladi to nourish his body.

He Daqing's family was very happy when they heard the news that Liang Ladi had given birth.

He Yushui immediately rode his bike to the hospital to take care of Liang Ladi and the child. Nan Yi came to the hospital after stewing chicken soup at home.

Under Nan Yi's careful care, Liang Ladi stayed in the hospital for three days and was then discharged and returned to the courtyard.

After returning home, Nan Yi felt a lot more relaxed with the care of Chen Xueru and He Yushui.

During this period, Nan Yi and Liang Ladi argued about the child's name.

Nan Yi means that the child’s name should be more elegant.

Liang Ladi thought that lowly creatures were easy to raise, just like Da Mao and Er Mao, who grew up strong and healthy.

Because of this issue, the matter was finally brought to He Daqing's attention.

Before He Daqing could speak, Sha Zhu said while eating, "Nan Yi, I noticed that you have become arrogant recently because of your child! When did you have the right to name the child? My wife is the one who makes the decisions in my family. She gave birth to the child with so much difficulty, why should she listen to you!"

One word awakens the dreamer!

Everyone says Sha Zhu is stupid. At this time, Nan Yi feels that he may not be as good as Sha Zhu.

So he didn't even eat, turned around and ran home.
