Zhou Yujiao stayed in the hospital for seven days and was about to be discharged.
Generally speaking, three days of hospitalization are enough for childbirth.
But Hua Xuguo was really worried, so he forced Zhou Yujiao to stay in the hospital for another four days. If the hospital had not had enough beds and the doctor had sent her away, he would have kept his wife in the hospital for a few more days for observation.
It is the busy farming season now, and the old man is the only one in the family who has returned to the village to harvest rice.
In other words, the Hua family was well-off and had no shortage of work points to exchange for food, and they also gave gifts during festivals and holidays, so the team leader turned a blind eye to the family staying in the county town for so long.
After the ginseng incident, the grandfather and grandson discussed it and found that they could both see the panel of the sign-in system. Hua Wanchi typed on the panel to communicate with Wan Qingliu.
Wan Qingliu found a place to sell the ginseng for 500. Don't ask who she sold it to. She has been committing crimes against the wind for more than ten years and is familiar with these channels.
The 150 is public money, and the whole family knows it.
The remaining 350 will be split equally between Hua Wanchi and Wan Qingliu.
Hua Wanchi laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared. She didn't expect that she was only one year old - only seven days old in terms of age, and she would receive such a huge sum of money!
When she was happy, she waved her hand and said proudly:
"Grandma, all this is for you! I'm honoring you!"
Wan Qingliu asked, "Give it all to me? Don't you regret it?"
“No regrets!”
Wan Qingliu's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum: "Okay, okay, then I will accept it."
At the same time, she began to calculate in her mind whether she should use the money to buy something for Chi Chi.
Because Zhou Yujiao is about to be discharged from the hospital, the grandparents and grandchildren don’t have much time left to hang out in the county town.
Every day, Wan Qingliu would carry Hua Wanchi around for a stroll, three times a day, morning, noon, and evening, just like checking in, just to unlock new check-in locations.
Hua Xuguo was still surprised that his mother loved her daughter so much.
The general attitude of the family towards children is to favor boys over girls, prefer the older ones and love the younger ones, and not care about the ones in the middle.
Although Wan Qingliu has tried very hard to treat them equally, he can't help but often ignore Hua Xuguo, the second oldest child. Among Hua Aihua's children, he likes his grandson more.
Because he was the neglected one since childhood, Hua Xuguo made up his mind early on to have only two children so that the middle one would not be neglected.
However, years of being childless extinguished all of Hua Xuguo's fantasies. He lowered his expectations and just wanted to have a child, even just a daughter. It would be better to have a son-in-law than to have no descendants at all.
Now that he really has a daughter, and she came with such great difficulty, Hua Xuguo no longer dares to favor boys over girls. He is so grateful for her that he can't wait to show his love for her.
Wan Qingliu did have a tendency to favor boys over girls before. After all, she was just an ordinary person and could not transcend the limitations of the times. No matter how much she loved her daughter, she still valued her son the most.
But her experiences in modern times broadened her horizons, and since Hua Wanchi was the special one, she was the only one favored by her grandmother.
In another time and space, Hua Wanchi was alone and helpless, and depended on his grandmother for survival. The relationship between them was naturally different.
Wan Qingliu has come to terms with it. She believes that women will be no worse off than men in the future world. She has earned so much money that it is more than enough to support anyone. Why should she pin her hopes on a man?
What's more, if she gives birth to a grandson, he won't have her surname.
Wan Qingliu strolled with Hua Wanchi in his arms until they reached the supply and marketing cooperative.
Hua Wanchi successfully signed in once.
"System, sign in!"
"Signed in successfully, Signed in location: Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Items received: Six feet of cloth coupons, one pound of sugar coupons."
"Isn't this the old flower man's house?"
A harsh voice rang out, and before Wan Qingliu had time to look at the sign-in rewards, she saw the person she hated the most.
The person who was speaking was the neighbor Zhao Tingnu, followed by her older daughter. The girl was wearing loose, ill-fitting clothes that dangled on her skinny body. She followed her mother timidly, looking very pitiful.
Seeing Zhao Tingnu, Wan Qingliu felt strange.
Shouldn't she be in the fields harvesting rice right now? And would she have the time to come to the county supply and marketing cooperative to buy things?
In fact, Zhao Tingnu was sent by people from the village.
The villagers wanted to see the excitement at Lao Hua's house, but they were busy with farming and couldn't get away, so they specially sent Zhao Tingnu, who had a grudge against Wan Qingliu, to inquire about the news.
Giving birth should only take two or three days, right? It's already been six or seven days, so why hasn't the family returned yet? Is there something going on?
Just as the villagers expected, Zhao Tingnu really wanted to see Wan Qingliu make a fool of himself, so she came in person.
Her sister-in-law worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, so she went to see her sister-in-law first. Unexpectedly, she met Wan Qingliu by chance.
The feud between Zhao Tingnu and Wan Qingliu's families began twenty years ago.
Zhao Tingnu was a few years older than Wan Qingliu. She became pregnant in the first year of her marriage and gave birth to a son after ten months of pregnancy.
The couple was very proud of having a boy and thought that if the trend continued, they could have more sons.
But the birth of her first son seemed to have used up all her luck. She did not get pregnant again for more than ten years. The couple felt that this first child might be their only one.
During that war-torn era, Zhao Tingnu and his wife struggled to raise their child. After liberation, they settled down. By then, their son was already in his teens and had passed the period when he was most likely to die young.
Seeing that their lives were getting better and better and the most difficult times were over, their son would be able to get married and have children in a few years. The couple placed their hopes of continuing the family line on the third generation and hoped that their son would have more grandchildren.
At that time, Wan Qingliu's eldest son was fifteen years old and his second son was thirteen years old. The two families were neighbors, so the children of the two families spent more time playing together and had a closer relationship than with other children in the village.
