When Li Fuan saw Old Lady Zhou coming, he jumped three feet high and ran in to call for help. He ran so fast that he tripped over the threshold.
Taking advantage of this critical moment, Su Man took the opportunity to say to Aunt San, "Aunt San, I got the things and put them in the house. Don't mistake them for soda bottles."
Su Man deliberately spoke vaguely and quickly, fearing that she might hear clearly.
"I know."
Third Aunt's attention was focused on Chen Susu, who was being helped out by Li Fuan. She didn't really listen to what Su Man said. She was annoyed that Chen Susu was walking too slowly, so she reached out and said, "Hurry, the old lady is here, please give me your hand."
While they were busy taking the pulse, Su Man, who seemed to have no presence, came into the house alone with two bottles. She placed one on the ground under the window and the other on the table.
Just as I finished all this, Third Aunt's laughter was heard outside.
"Hahaha, what did I say? I said Su Su is so promising, it must be a boy."
When Su Man left, Chen Susu had already been forced to sit on a bench by her Third Aunt. Her two hands were on Chen Susu's shoulders, as if she was holding some small animal. "Susu, you must take good care of your pregnancy and give us a big fat boy."
Li Fuan happily circled around Chen Susu, "Our family finally has an heir. My love for you is not in vain."
For a moment, the whole house was filled with joy, except for Chen Susu, who lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Third Aunt was overjoyed. She packed a lot of food for Old Lady Zhou and kept thanking her.
It was obviously a happy occasion, but Mrs. Zhou's expression was a little stiff, her eyes wandered around, she rolled up her sleeves and scratched her neck, and she didn't dare to look at Third Aunt.
Su Man saw what Old Lady Zhou was like, and she was afraid that Old Lady Zhou would reveal the truth, so she walked over and blocked Third Aunt's way, "Congratulations, Third Aunt, you will be able to hold your grandson next year."
"Yeah, hahahaha, I'm here to thank you for your good words, kid."
Auntie San was now content with having a grandson, and didn't care about anything else. She just smiled. When she saw Old Lady Zhou off, she stuffed her with a red envelope and sent her off with many thanks.
When Mrs. Zhou accepted the red envelope, she glanced at Su Man, as if she had something to say, but since there were so many people around and everyone was talking, she didn't say anything and just took the things and left.
When she learned that Chen Susu was pregnant with a boy, Third Aunt was relieved. She walked into the yard and saw Chen Susu still sitting on the bench. She cried out, "Ouch!" "The sun is so strong! How can you still sit here when you're pregnant? Fu'an, hurry up and help your wife lie down inside. Call your father back later and ask him to come back for dinner in the evening. I'll cook a few more dishes so we can have some fun."
My third uncle has been helping relatives in the neighboring village build a house recently. The journey is far, so he lives in the neighboring village.
Li Fuan looked at the sky and said, "It will take at least the whole afternoon to go back and forth. The road is not easy to walk on at night. I will go now."
"Be careful on the road."
After Li Fuan left, Third Aunt smiled at Su Man and said, "Xiao Man, you've been accompanying your sister-in-law all this time and it's been hard. Come have dinner at Third Aunt's place tonight."
"Aunt San, what are you talking about? We are all family, why are you talking about this?"
Taking advantage of Third Aunt's happiness, Su Man said, "By the way, my mother-in-law knows that Grandma Zhou is coming today, and she said she wants to invite your family over for a drink to celebrate the addition of someone to your family."
"Oh, if anyone wants to treat you, I should treat you."
"Don't argue. My mother-in-law has prepared the dishes. They should be cooked by now. If you don't go, she will say that I am not good at talking and can't invite you."
"Haha, if you are not good at talking, there will be no one who can talk in our village."
Because Chen Susu was brought back by Li Xiang, Third Aunt was grateful. Although she agreed to go to Zhao Chunhua's place, she was not idle all afternoon. She first stewed a chicken, then made dumplings, and finally boiled a bag of red eggs, wanting them to share in the good luck.
During this time, Su Man wanted to help, but was directly driven in by her third aunt to take care of Chen Susu. "You will be doing me a great favor by taking good care of your sister-in-law. Come in quickly."
After Zhao Chunhua was ready, Li Fuan also came back with Li Laosan.
Although Li Laosan didn't jump up and down like Aunt San, his happiness could be seen from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
The original plan was for the four of them to go together, but before leaving, Chen Susu said she had a backache.
This scared Third Aunt, and not only did she not let Chen Susu go, she insisted on staying to take care of her.
In this way, in the end only Li Fuan and Li Laosan were left.
When they arrived at Li Xiang's house, Zhao Chunhua had already prepared the meal. Seeing what they were holding, the smile on her face became more genuine. "His Third Uncle is here, but where's his Third Aunt? Why isn't she here?"
"She is at home taking care of Susu. Where is Lao Wu?"
"Inside."
In the middle of the yard, Li Pozi was sitting at the table, already drinking. When he saw Li Laosan and his father, he opened his hazy eyes and greeted him, "Laosan is here! It's been a while since we two brothers sat together for a drink. We have to drink more today."
“…”
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when they are happy. Li Laosan and Li Fuan were no exception. They drank one cup after another without any persuasion.
Li Pozi picked up the bottle of wine on the table and tried to pour more. After a few tries, nothing came out. Already half drunk, he raised his leg and kicked Zhao Chunhua, "Go, pour some wine."
Zhao Chunhua was caught off guard and staggered after being kicked by him. Looking at the staggering Li Pozi, she felt very disappointed. "I called the third brother here today to talk. This is enough for drinking."
As she spoke, she winked at Li Pozi, implying that he had called them here today to ask for money and that they couldn't drink anymore.
But Li Pozi's mind was no longer clear after drinking so much. Besides, he had not been sober since the wine brewed by Su Man was opened. His brain, paralyzed by alcohol, had long stopped functioning and he could not understand Zhao Chunhua's hints at all.
