Chapter 113 Children
Li Fang's engagement party went very smoothly.
Knowing that Li Dequan was the captain of the team, everyone in the Wang family had smiles on their faces.
After knowing the situation of the Li family, the two families discussed for a while and agreed that the betrothal gifts of three turns and one ring would all be new. The three turns and one ring referred to a bicycle, a sewing machine, a watch, and a radio.
Nowadays, not many families can afford a three-turn and one-ring wedding ring.
But a bicycle costs at least 168 yuan and must have a license. Watches are not cheap either. The cheapest one is produced in Shanghai and costs 120 yuan. Sewing machines are also priced between 142 and 158 yuan.
The cheapest item is the radio, the cheapest of which can be bought for just over 30 yuan.
It can be said that the Wang family has shown enough sincerity.
Li Dequan provided half a pig and 100 kilograms of food for the wedding banquet, which gave enough face to the Wang family. Nowadays, it is impossible to get meat for a wedding banquet, and being able to eat bone soup stewed with carrots and white radishes is already very good.
The basic marriage standards in these regions are dried tofu, bean sprouts, tofu, smashed cucumbers, shredded potatoes, and other vegetarian dishes fried with vegetable oil. Meat dishes are just bone stews, and for more high-end options, there's also a plate of peanuts.
Li Dequan's relatives were not in the area, and it was impossible to hold a wedding banquet in the area. All his relatives were in Shanyang County, and the money they spent on traveling over was enough to cover the gifts.
What's more, most of the gifts nowadays are food, a handful of noodles, a few eggs, a few kilograms of food. The village has no income so how can it be possible to give money.
Generally, there are not many tables. With limited rations, a family cannot save much food. For a more grand marriage, there will be about ten tables, but no more than fifteen.
Usually there are only seven or eight tables.
There are also weddings where three tables are set up. Zhao Yi has also been to one. Those three tables are for entertaining close relatives. When you go, just take two wedding candies as gifts.
As for food, the people don’t even have enough to eat themselves, and there aren’t many ways to buy vegetables, so they can’t provide meals.
Li Dequan took full responsibility for the food, meat and vegetables of this marriage.
How could the Wang family not be happy? As for the money to buy the three-turn and one-ring, their family, two generations of workers, had enough money. But now they couldn't buy meat or food even with money.
So my favorable impression of the Li family immediately rose to a new level.
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing left after dinner, so it was not his turn to interrupt.
The wedding date for the two families is set for the 30th of next month, and there is still a full two months of preparation time.
early morning.
As soon as Zhao Yi woke up, he saw Zhang Jing with a frown on her face and a look of pain.
Zhao Yi didn't have time to put on his clothes. He only put on his pants and grabbed a shirt to put on. He opened the box where Zhang Jing kept her money, grabbed a handful of money and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, then hurried out with Zhang Jing in his arms.
He went out, closed the door behind him, and ran to the hospital.
When the doctor on duty arrived at the outpatient clinic and saw Zhao Yi sweating profusely, he immediately stepped forward to help take Zhang Jing over and rushed to the obstetrics and gynecology department together.
Today's doctors and nurses have not experienced those weird things and are still relatively enthusiastic. As long as they see people in trouble, they will take the initiative to help.
"Are you a relative of the woman who gave birth?"
A doctor came to Zhao Yi who was waiting at the door and asked.
"I am."
Zhao Yi nodded quickly.
"Which factory does the pregnant woman work in? Does she have a work permit?"
The doctor looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"Yes, yes, Zhang Jing, you're a regular employee of the garment factory. I'll go back and get my work permit now."
Zhao Yi nodded quickly.
After saying that, he hurried home, took his work ID, locked the door, passed by the department store, and greeted the salesperson.
When Zhao Yi arrived at the hospital, Zhang Jing had already been arranged into the ward, and a baby wrapped in a small blanket was placed next to Zhang Jing.
When Zhao Yi arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology department, the doctor who had just asked Zhao Yi questions was already sitting in the office writing something. He saw Zhao Yi knocking on the door.
"Come in."
Zhao Yi walked into the doctor's duty room.
"This is Zhang Jing's work ID."
Zhao Yi handed over Zhang Jing's work ID.
The doctor took his work permit and started to register. Zhao Yi didn't have to pay a penny for these fees. The hospital would then coordinate with the finance department of the garment factory.
"The patient has given birth successfully and is now in the ward. Turn left when you go out and it's the first ward."
As the doctor spoke, he handed the work permit back to Zhao Yi.
"Thank you, doctor."
Zhao Yi nodded and thanked him, then went to find Zhang Jing.
When we arrived at the ward, Zhang Jing was already in a deep sleep.
Zhao Yi felt a little distressed when he saw Zhang Jing lying on the hospital bed. It seemed that Zhang Jing had given birth to this baby so smoothly in her previous life.
Zhao Yi came to Zhang Jing's bed and gently picked up the sleeping little guy. Upon closer inspection, he found that the baby was a little ugly, but not as wrinkled as he had been at first glance in his previous life. It should be that the baby was fully nourished in this life.
Zhao Yi felt somewhat happy. Although this little guy had caused him a lot of trouble in his previous life, he was really filial when he grew up. After Zhang Jing fell ill, most of the little guy's salary was used to pay for Zhang Jing's medical treatment.
As if sensing that the environment was different, the little guy howled twice in dissatisfaction, and Zhao Yi hurriedly coaxed him gently.
"When you grow up, I'll take care of you."
Zhao Yi looked at the crying little guy and scolded with a smile.
"He's just been born and you're already thinking about taking care of him. How can you be such a father?"
At this time, Zhang Jing seemed to be awakened by the crying, and laughed when she heard Zhao Yi's voice.
"This bastard, he started crying just when I was kind to him. He deserves to be punished."
Zhao Yi smiled.
The two had just said a few words when a nurse came in.
After briefly explaining a few things to Zhao Yi, he asked Zhao Yi to go through the discharge procedures. Zhang Jing had a normal birth, so there was no major impact and she just needed to go back and have a good rest.
Just about to leave the ward.
Several people came to the door.
"Zhao Yi is here."
Section Chief Wang spoke to the people behind him, and they all walked into the ward immediately.
"Congratulations, congratulations to Master Zhao for becoming a father. You have to have a few drinks with us tonight."
Section Chief Wang handed the thing in his hand to Zhao Yi and said.
"Chief Wang, what are you doing? Don't you see that Master Zhao is busy?"
"That's right."
Several salespeople echoed.
"My dear colleagues, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with you today. Tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you all to come. I also have to go back and inform the child's grandparents."
Zhao Yi looked at the enthusiastic crowd and said helplessly.
"No noise is allowed in the hospital. It will disturb other patients who are resting. Please go downstairs and wait."
A nurse on duty came over and spoke to everyone.
"Oh oh oh, let's go down now."
Everyone smiled awkwardly, then whispered that they would leave two sales clerks in the ward to help take care of Zhang Jing, and the rest would follow Zhao Yi downstairs to wait. Zhao Yi went downstairs to complete the discharge procedures.
Having just completed the discharge procedures, Li Fang and Peng Yiju rushed to the hospital.
Seeing Zhao Yi, he immediately ran forward.
"What's wrong with Zhang Jing? Why didn't she go to work today?"
"Is she giving birth?"
The two of them came in front of Zhao Yi and asked.
