When Li Chu first took Li Qiaoyun's pulse, he was startled by the strength of her pulse.
With her constitution, it's not easy for her to get pregnant, and even if she does, she's prone to miscarriage. When she gives birth, she'll have to go through a life-threatening ordeal.
Childbirth is difficult for every woman, especially given the relatively low level of medical care available today.
You might accidentally find yourself in a situation where you have to choose between saving the mother or the child.
Over the past few months, Li Chu has put in a tremendous amount of effort to barely get Li Qiaoyun's health back on track.
She'll need to recuperate again after giving birth.
During this period, Li Qiaoyun could only rest at home and could not do any heavy work. Even when she went out for a walk, she could only stroll slowly for a while.
After taking his pulse, Li Chu retrieved some more medicine from the medicine cabinet in his study and took the medicine pot to the kitchen to personally decoct the medicine.
The medicine he prescribed this time was rather special; he wouldn't feel comfortable unless he personally prepared it.
After Li Chu went to the kitchen, Ding Qiunan asked, "Auntie, can you tell me about Li Chu's young wife?"
"Haha," Aunt Wang laughed loudly, "Qiu Nan, I knew you would ask that."
Li Qiaoyun also covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.
The two children were having a great time playing when they were drawn in by Aunt Wang's hearty laughter and started laughing along.
"Qiu Nan, those were just jokes they made when they were kids. After the Jiang family moved to the south, they lost contact. Nothing happened at all. I was just teasing Xiao Chu."
After hearing what Aunt Wang said, Ding Qiunan visibly breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought she had inexplicably gained a rival in love.
Aunt Wang reached out and patted Ding Qiunan: "Qiunan, don't overthink it. I've watched Xiao Chu grow up since he was a child. He's not the kind of person who's fickle."
Ding Qiunan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Auntie, I wasn't thinking anything, I just wanted to know more about his childhood."
"Sigh, we had a hard life back then..." Aunt Wang was lost in memories, telling Ding Qiunan and her daughter-in-law about Li Chu and Wang Jun when they were young.
While Li Chu was decocting medicine in the kitchen, he heard his wife's silvery laughter coming from the living room. He finally felt relieved, thinking that he wouldn't have to suffer anymore after Aunt Wang and the others left.
fantuan.
After decocting the medicine, filter out the dregs and put the decoction into the jar that Aunt Wang brought. You don't need to drink it tonight; you should drink it over two days. Once you finish this medicine, you won't need to take any more medicine before giving birth.
Carrying the jar back to the living room, Aunt Wang was still talking there.
"Auntie, let's talk about it another day. The medicine is ready. When will Brother Meng come to pick you up? Qiaoyun should get some rest."
Aunt Wang then realized it was already past 8 p.m. and hurriedly picked up the phone to call home.
After seeing Aunt Wang and Li Qiaoyun off, I gave the two little devils a bath. These two are very naughty now; they just play in the water during bath time, soaking Li Chu and Ding Qiunan completely.
After the child fell asleep, Ding Qiunan straddled Li Chu's lap in the living room with a half-smile.
"So, Li Chu, what are your thoughts on seeing your childhood sweetheart today?"
"What feelings could I possibly have? I just feel that time has passed too quickly."
"Don't you have any ulterior motives towards your childhood sweetheart?"
"It's been almost twenty years since we last met. Even if we were best friends when we were kids, we're strangers now. I just felt that they were having some difficulties and wanted to help them."
Li Chu frankly expressed his thoughts, because even though those memories now belonged to him, they were not things he had personally experienced.
How do you plan to help them?
“I was planning to discuss this with you anyway. I’ll go see my sister tomorrow and ask her to find a way to register Jiang Li and the child’s household registration. Also, I want them to move to a house in the courtyard house first. Their current place is too bad.”
Ding Qiunan thought for a moment and asked, "What if I don't agree to let them live there? That house holds too many memories for me, and I don't want anyone else to live there."
Li Chu never expected his wife to have such a literary and artistic side.
"Then let them not stay there. We'll see if we can help them find another place to live."
Aren't you angry?
"If she doesn't want to lend it, she doesn't have to. What's there to be angry about?" Li Chu felt that it was normal for his wife to agree or disagree, and he didn't have any other thoughts.
Ding Qiunan rested her head on her husband's shoulder and whispered, "Darling, please let me be willful this once."
Li Chu reached out and stroked his wife's face: "What's this about being willful? Everything in the house belongs to both of us, and I won't have any other thoughts."
Ding Qiunan looked up and kissed her husband's cheek: "Thank you."
Li Chu smiled and picked her up as they stood up: "Let's go, we should wash up and go to bed."
The next morning, after dropping her child off at the daycare, Li Chu went to the neighborhood office with Li Qin and the others.
The housing issue can be discussed later. Although their current living conditions are not good, they still have a place to live. The household registration issue is the most pressing problem right now.
Li Qin's office door was open, and Li Chu walked straight in: "Sister, are you busy? I need to talk to you about something."
"Xiao Chu, why aren't you at work? Why are you here? What's up?"
Li Chu wasted no time and immediately told her sister about Jiang Cheng and Jiang Li's affair.
Li Qin was much older than the others. At that time, her parents were busy with work. She had to work in the fields, participate in the women's team, and take care of her younger brother's needs when she had time to go home. She was constantly on the go.
He was only familiar with his younger brother's playmates of the same age, not to mention that he hadn't seen the Jiang family for nearly twenty years. He could only sigh when he heard about their family's plight. Since his younger brother asked for his help, he might as well lend a hand.
After thinking for a moment, Li Qin said, "If they want to register their household here, they have to live here, whether it's renting a house or whatever. You have to get Jiang Cheng to move here first, otherwise there's nothing I can do."
"Sis, do you know any houses that are available for rent?"
"How would I know? Everyone's short of housing right now, it's not that easy to rent one. The neighborhood committee doesn't have any public housing left either, and there are countless people waiting in line for housing allocation."
However, I heard that the knitting factory is hiring a batch of female workers. You could ask Jiang Cheng to find a way to get his sister a job there; that would solve all the problems. I think since Jiang Cheng can work at that other company, getting his sister a job at the knitting factory shouldn't be a problem.”
Li Chu's eyes lit up after hearing her sister's words.
Yeah, that would solve all the problems, and maybe we could even snag a single dorm room.
"Sister, that's a good idea. I'll talk to Jiang Cheng about it later."
