Siheyuan: I am Yi Zhonghai's biological son

While Yi Ping'an was struggling with the C language every day, Meng Xiaoting had an attack on December 12. An auntie quickly asked people in the hospital to help send her to the hospital, and asked someone to notify Yi Zhonghai who was at work.

"Deputy Director Yi, someone from your hospital came and said that your daughter-in-law is about to give birth. Your aunt asked you to go to Red Star Hospital immediately. They have already gone to the hospital."

When the people from the Security Department came to inform Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai quickly asked for leave from Guo Dapiezi, rode his bicycle and hurried to the Red Star Hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Meng Xiaoting had already been sent to the delivery room. Auntie One was waiting anxiously in the corridor. Auntie Two, Auntie Three, and Auntie Li from next door were also there.

"How is my wife?" Yi Zhonghai asked the aunt in an anxious tone. It was a very cold day, but Yi Zhonghai was sweating from riding.

"Boss, you're here. Xiaoting has entered the delivery room. The doctor said that the first baby won't come that quickly. I wonder how long we have to wait. Ping'an is not at home either. Nothing can happen to him." The aunt held Yi Zhonghai's arm tightly and told him about the current situation.

The group of people were waiting anxiously in the hospital corridor. When it was dinner time, the baby had not been born yet, so Yi Zhonghai asked them to go back first. However, Aunt Li and her youngest son Liang Fengshou from the east wing stayed, saying that they could help out so late in the evening.

Yi Zhonghai did not refuse. He and Liang Mantun worked in the same workshop and were neighbors. They got along well with each other. He would treat the whole family to a drink when his grandson was one month old.

Aunt Li went back to cook some millet porridge, and Liang Fengshou bought dinner for the group. Although Yi Zhonghai gave money and tickets, he knew in his heart that he owed him a big favor, so he should take care of Lao Liang in the factory in the future and teach him some skills.

It was not until after midnight that a baby's cry was heard in the delivery room. Yi Ping'an's eldest son was born.

Yi Zhonghai's heart suddenly settled down. After a while, a nurse came out of the delivery room holding a baby wrapped in a quilt.

"Who are Meng Xiaoting's family members?"

"It's me!" Yi Zhonghai and his wife hurried forward.

"Who are you...?" the nurse asked.

"I am Meng Xiaoting's father-in-law, and this is her mother-in-law." Yi Zhonghai said hurriedly, but his eyes were fixed on the baby in the blanket.

"Oh, this is your eldest grandson. He weighs 12 kilograms, a really fat boy. The doctor has checked him and he is very healthy. He was born after midnight, which means his birthday is the th." The nurse handed the child to the aunt. It is rare to see such a heavy baby.

The aunt carefully brought the child over and asked the nurse, "How is my daughter-in-law? When will she come out?"

The nurse replied: "The mother is in good condition, just a little tired. Once she is cleaned up, she will be pushed directly to the ward. You can also go to the ward and wait." After that, the nurse went into the delivery room.

Yi Zhonghai approached the aunt and looked at his grandson carefully: "My grandson is so handsome." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile. The joy in his eyes was overflowing.

Newborn babies are all red and wrinkled, not pretty at all. I don't know how Yi Zhonghai saw that.

"Boss, you are right, our grandson is so handsome." An aunt echoed Yi Zhonghai.

After a while, Meng Xiaoting was also pushed out of the delivery room. Her face was still a little pale. Yi Zhonghai and his wife saw Meng Xiaoting coming out and hurried to meet her.

"Xiaoting, how are you?" asked an aunt.

"Mom, I'm fine, just a little tired." Meng Xiaoting replied while looking at the people around her, but she didn't see the familiar figure. Meng Xiaoting's eyes dimmed a little, but then she was relieved. Her man was doing great things.

The group pushed Meng Xiaoting back to the ward, which was a single room. Yi Ping'an was now an administrative level 13 department-level cadre, so Yi Zhonghai coordinated this ward.

"Mom, how is the child? Let me see." Meng Xiaoting said to the aunt.

The aunt quickly handed the child to Meng Xiaoting.

"Xiaoting, look at this! It weighs 2.8 kilograms. I haven't seen such a heavy baby in many years. This baby is so cute." An aunt said with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai said to the aunt, "My dear, please heat up this millet porridge for Xiaoting. Stay here with Xiaoting. I'll go back and stew a chicken. It'll be just right for tomorrow morning. I'll make some millet porridge and bring it to you. My dear, remember this. No one should be left alone in this ward. Ping'an said that someone would steal the child. You must remember this!"

"Don't worry, boss. I promise I will never leave this ward." The aunt patted her chest and promised.

"Don't worry, uncle. I'm here. I will never let anything happen to them and their mother." Aunt Li from next door assured.

"Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Li." Yi Zhonghai nodded at Aunt Li.

After Yi Zhonghai finished explaining, he hurriedly rode his bike back to the courtyard, with a smile on his face all the way. Their Yi family now had a successor, and he had become a grandfather.

Yi Zhonghai did not knock on the door of the main compound. Everyone was asleep at this time, so he went straight into the courtyard through the corner gate.

In the corner of the courtyard, an old lady raised five roosters, just for Meng Xiaoting to use during her confinement. There was no need to think about getting hens, as they were simply unavailable.

Yi Zhonghai reached into the chicken coop and grabbed a chicken. The chicken started to crow. Yi Zhonghai grabbed the chicken's mouth and asked, "What is it doing? What if it wakes up everyone else?"

Sha Zhu in the middle courtyard heard the rooster crowing next door and muttered, "Why is the rooster crowing in the middle of the night? Could someone have stolen the chicken? No, I have to go check it out." Then he put on his clothes and got out of bed. When he got to the gate of the cross courtyard, the lights in the cross courtyard were on. Could it be that someone had returned?

When I opened the small door across the courtyard, I saw Yi Zhonghai killing a chicken. "Hey, uncle, why are you killing a chicken in the middle of the night? Did your sister-in-law give birth?"

"Oh, it's Zhuzi. Hehe, Ping'an's wife gave birth to a big fat boy. I, your uncle, have a grandson now. So, I'll kill a chicken to give her some nourishment." Yi Zhonghai said happily.

"Oh my, congratulations! Well, I'm up now, so leave this job to me." Sha Zhu took the chicken from Yi Zhonghai's hand and started to work.

In less than an hour, the aroma of the chicken soup spread throughout the courtyard. When the people in the courtyard smelled the chicken soup, they all muttered to themselves: Who is so wicked? Who can sleep well after drinking chicken soup in the middle of the night?

No matter how people in the yard grumbled, the smell of chicken soup became stronger and stronger. Few people could sleep in the second half of the night, and they all got up early.

I saw Yi Zhonghai in the hospital early in the morning. Looking at his smiling face and thinking of Meng Xiaoting who gave birth in the hospital, I knew that she was probably pregnant.

"Uncle, has Ping An's wife given birth?"

"It's born, it's born, it's a big fat boy, weighing 15 pounds."

"Oh my, that's not bad. It's rare to see a child this heavy. Congratulations, uncle."

"Congratulations, uncle."

Everyone in the courtyard congratulated Yi Zhonghai, and Yi Zhonghai smiled back at them. He turned around and said to Liang Mantun next door:

"Lao Liang, please ask for leave from the workshop director for me. My grandson is born and my family can't take care of him. I will go to work after my daughter-in-law is discharged from the hospital. I also want to thank your Aunt Li. She has worked so hard. When my grandson is one month old, we two old brothers will have a good drink together."

"Uncle, you're too polite. Isn't this what we should do? Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Okay, I'll ask Director Guo for leave for you today." Liang Mantun answered and turned to go out to work.

Yi Zhonghai happily rode his bike to the hospital, carrying chicken soup and millet porridge. On the way, he also bought meat buns and fried dough sticks for the adults to eat, thanking them for their hard work.

After arriving at the hospital and handing the food to the aunt, Yi Zhonghai looked at the baby in the crib next to him. The baby's mouth was so cracked that it almost reached the back of his head. He turned around and asked the aunt in a low voice: "When will he wake up? Did he cry last night?"

"Don't cry, don't cry, he's just been sleeping. He should wake up soon. He must be hungry." An old lady also said in a low voice.

After seeing his grandson, Yi Zhonghai said to Aunt Li next to him, "Aunt Li, I am really sorry to bother you. I have asked for leave today. You should go back and have a rest. When my grandson is one month old, you must come to drink a full moon wine."

"Uncle, you are too polite. It's my duty, my duty. I will go back first and let the second boy help you here. You can't do without someone to run errands or something." Aunt Li said and asked Liang Fengshou to stay and help with errands. He was in charge of purchasing and had more free time. Aunt Li then returned to the courtyard.

An aunt gave the chicken soup to Meng Xiaoting and asked her to drink more. Meng Xiaoting also understood that she still had to breastfeed, so she did not refuse and drank all the chicken soup that Yi Zhonghai brought. "Dad, you have worked so hard." Meng Xiaoting said to Yi Zhonghai.

"What's so hard about you, kid? I'm willing to work hard for my grandson. Just take care of yourself and my grandson. The rest will be up to us old couple."

After Meng Xiaoting was examined that afternoon and found to be fine, she was released from the hospital, wrapped tightly in a blanket. Liang Fengshou helped pull her back to the hospital on a cart.

All the neighbors in the central courtyard came to help with milk production. Some gave two eggs, the wealthy ones gave half a pound of brown sugar, and some gave noodles and white flour. Yu Li gave a set of clothes she had made herself. The people from the Jia family also came when they heard that Meng Xiaoting had given birth. Qin Huairu came with Jia Dongxu and brought a crucian carp, ten eggs, and a three-foot-long piece of cotton cloth. The gifts were indeed not small, but Yi Zhonghai had helped them a lot over the years.

In the end, Jia Dongxu's life was saved by Yi Ping'an.
