Xiao Chengda was surprised that Huo Xiaoman could praise Qin Taoxian.
"Xiao Man, Dad misunderstood you before. You are a good child, with clear eyes and a kind heart. You are hundreds of times better than Jiang Zao."
Huo Xiaoman liked to hear this.
She accepted the compliment modestly: "That's all."
After solving Qin Taoxian's problem, Xiao Chengda felt relieved: "You go into the house and eat first, I will go in later to avoid them getting suspicious."
Huo Xiaoman entered the house, and 5 minutes later, Xiao Chengda entered the house.
Seeing him pull out a chair and about to sit down, Gu Xiufang gave him a cold look and said, "If you want to eat, go find the peach tree spirit to make it for you."
The words were really harsh. Xiao Chengda pulled his chair back a little and sat down firmly: "The person has been sent away. Live a quiet life from now on. Stop being so sarcastic. You have ruined our good life."
Jiang Zao, who had scooped up a spoonful of corn grits porridge and was about to drink it, raised his head and raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
...something's wrong.
Gu Xiufang was not happy, but she did not resist Xiao Chengda sitting down to eat.
She didn't want her children to be tired after a hard day's work and then come home to act like Bao Gong and help her judge family matters.
It was a late spring cold snap, and there was fog at night, making the house very cold.
Before going to bed, Jiang Zao sat on the bed and Xiao Shuisheng sat on a bench beside the bed. The couple soaked their feet in a basin. The water in the basin was a little hot, and Jiang Zao's feet turned red. She didn't dare to stretch her feet all the way down and step on Xiao Shuisheng's feet.
Xiao Shuisheng likes to analyze data tables while soaking his feet. He can't be distracted by looking at the sky, but today he can't concentrate: "Zao'er."
Jiang Zao: “Hmm?”
"You also suspect that my father gave in too quickly and there's a problem?" She was absent-minded while eating. As expected of his wife, she could spot problems as soon as they appeared.
Jiang Zao slowly shook her head, her cherry-red lips expressing her certainty: "There must be something wrong."
“People were not sent back to the countryside, but were transferred to other places.”
Seeing the tiredness on her face, Xiao Shuisheng put the data sheet on the table and held Jiang Zao's hand distressedly: "Don't think about it for now. Dad didn't dare to go to see her recently. When the wound on his face heals, we will pay more attention to him."
That's true. We can't find any evidence to prove it now.
The water in the basin was not that hot. Jiang Zao put her feet in. The warm water wrapped around her cold feet, and the warmth spread throughout her limbs, warming her body.
After more than ten minutes, the water became a little cold. Xiao Shuisheng urged Jiang Zao to take his feet out. He took the foot washing water out and poured it out, then went back to the room and hugged Jiang Zao to sleep.
Not long after Jiang Zao fell asleep, something big happened in Old Jiang's family.
Liu Cui had stomach cramps at night, so Jiang Ming put on his clothes, took the electric baton, and ran to several alleys to find a midwife.
“It hurts so much…Ahh!!!”
Afraid that Liu Cui would bite her tongue, the midwife stuffed a vertical striped towel prepared in advance into her mouth.
Old Lady Liu is the best midwife in the neighborhood. She has delivered dozens or even hundreds of babies and is very experienced.
Her gray hair was tied into a bun as big as a cow's eye at the back, and her skinny body was covered by a dark blue dress.
Before she started, she leaned over to Liu Cui's ear and whispered, "Liu's girl, your in-laws treat you well. They gave you their son's job and didn't let you do any heavy work. Now that they have a big fat boy, who can still control you?"
"Even if it's not a boy, add one this year and one next year to make a good family. Have more children while you're still young, and your position in the Jiang family will be secure!"
When Liu Cui heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. She stopped crying out in pain, and every groan she made was full of strength.
Work!
status!
money!
They all belong to her, Liu Cui!
Liu Cui gave birth very quickly, in just three hours. Mrs. Liu wiped the sweat from her head, helped the mother clean the dirt under her body and threw it into the bucket on the ground, then wrapped the baby up as quickly as possible.
With her last breath, Liu Cui widened her eyes and asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Liu Chunhua, who was helping nearby, also looked over curiously.
Granny Liu smiled kindly: "It's a boy! His arms and legs are all intact, and he's very healthy. Don't worry, my wife of the Jiang family."
Liu Cui raised her chin proudly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Chunhua packed five red eggs, five yuan for her hard work, and two cans of yellow peaches for Mrs. Liu, and asked Jiang Ming to take her back: "Sister, walk slowly. Come back to celebrate the baby's full moon."
Mrs. Liu was also tired. She yawned and waved her hand: "Okay, I'll wait for you to call me."
Liu Chunhua and Jiang Dashan surrounded the child curiously. When Jiang Ming came back, they decided on a name for the child together.
"My full name is Jiawang, and my nickname is Niubi."
When Liu Cui heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up: "What a nice name."
A cheap name is easy to maintain, and she will surely grow up to be a man smoothly because of her urine retention.
After the child was born, no one could think of resting. Liu Chunhua went to a night show. When it was light in the morning, Jiang Ming, who had slept for a few hours, came to take over. Liu Chunhua went back to her room and slept until midnight.
Jiang Dashan went to work without asking for leave. There were more mouths to feed at home and they needed more money, so he didn't dare to ask for leave.
In the afternoon, Liu Chunhua woke up and distributed red eggs to her neighbors, three to each household. In this area, it is taboo to distribute red eggs in even numbers, so they are always distributed in odd numbers.
After distributing eggs to the neighbors, it was almost time for everyone to get off work, so she put 9 eggs in a basket and went to Lao Xiao's house.
The matter between Xiao Chengda and Qin Taoxian pierced Gu Xiufang's heart like a thorn. She felt dizzy and had a headache in the morning. She couldn't bear it at noon and asked for leave to go home. She lay down at night and felt weak all over.
When she came back, Xiao Chengda made an excuse to go out, obviously not wanting to be in the same room with her, which made Gu Xiufang even more uncomfortable.
Liu Chunhua, carrying a basket, shouted outside the yard, "Is anyone home?"
Gu Xiufang heard the voice, got up, put on a gray coat, opened the door and came out: "My mother-in-law is here, come in quickly."
Liu Chunhua came in and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy. I came to cheer you up. Oh, you don't look very good."
Gu Xiufang coughed lightly and forced a smile: "I'm not feeling well, come in quickly."
"Mother-in-law, are you worried about something? If so, feel free to tell me." Liu Chunhua is a smart person. She can tell at a glance whether the patient is physically ill or mentally ill.
Gu Xiufang didn't hide it from her. With a wry smile, she brewed a pot of scented tea, poured two cups, and placed one cup next to Liu Chunhua. "Shuisheng's father... took over a mother and daughter from downstairs. I had a fight with him, but it's nothing serious. He's already sent them away."
Liu Chunhua came over, feeling thirsty, and picked up the teacup to drink.
"When were you brought in, and when were you sent away?"
She didn't make a fuss, which made Gu Xiufang feel less nervous and embarrassed, and she naturally spoke her mind: "It's just what happened in the past few days."
Liu Chunhua gulped down a cup and wiped her mouth with her sleeve after finishing.
"Don't blame me for being nosy, mother-in-law. Shuisheng's father definitely didn't send him away. He must have sent him somewhere else."
"She's got Shuisheng's dad all her own way. A man is in a state of turmoil. If you push him any further, he'll be reluctant to let you go."
