Chapter 115 Children 2
As soon as they heard Zhang Fusheng and Wang Kaihui, they knew it was Zhang Jingsheng and hurriedly started packing their things.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. Leave early tomorrow morning. There are no cars to return to the district right now."
Zhao Yi said as he looked at the two anxious old men.
"You know what? Xiaojing must be alone at home with no one to take care of her. Let's hurry over there with flashlights."
Zhang Fusheng lowered his head to help organize and responded.
"Xiao Jing's master and Sister Li are both helping over there. There are people taking care of her."
Zhao Yi explained.
"I have my own things to do, so I can't help you all the time. You can rest here for a night. Your father and I will go to the district first."
After Wang Kaihui finished speaking, he carried the eggs and Zhang Fusheng carried the luggage. The two of them set off with flashlights despite Zhao Yi's attempt to stop them.
Zhao Yi had to return the bicycle to his aunt's house, and he couldn't follow the two old people up the mountain road.
"Dad, I'm going with you so I can take care of you on the way."
Zhang Xiang and his wife hurried to follow.
"That's fine."
Wang Kaihui nodded and said.
The Zhang family left Zhao Yi alone to look after the house, and everyone headed towards the mountains.
There was originally no road in the mountains, but thanks to the efforts of Zhang Fusheng, Zhao Laowu and Liu Qi over this period of time, a small path has been opened up, and they have also repaired the difficult-to-walk places.
The four of them traveled all night and finally arrived at Zhao Yi's house in the early morning.
Hearing a knock on the door, Master Liu opened the door and saw Zhang Fusheng's family of four, none of whom he recognized.
"Who are you looking for?"
Master Liu looked at the four people in confusion.
"I'm Xiaojing's mother."
Wang Kaihui didn't know whether the person in front of him was Director Li that Zhao Yi mentioned, or Zhang Jing's master, so he had to introduce himself first.
When Master Liu heard this, a smile immediately appeared on her face. She didn't know where Shanyang County was and had never been there, but Zhao Yi did go back to inform her. He even rushed over in the middle of the night, which showed that the family had a good relationship.
Master Liu quickly welcomed everyone into the house and prepared to heat up the food for them.
"I have eaten. Are you Director Li or Master Liu?"
Wang Kaihui asked.
"Just call me Sister Liu. It makes me seem more intimate."
Master Liu smiled.
"Also, let's speak in a low voice so as not to disturb the little one, otherwise Xiaojing won't be able to rest well."
Master Liu smiled and then spoke softly.
"Sister Liu, please go back to your room and rest for a while. We can just sit here."
Zhang Fusheng said.
"I don't feel sleepy as much as I do now that I'm older. Once I wake up, I can't fall asleep again."
Master Liu waved his hand, and then the few of them started chatting in the living room.
early morning.
It's just dawn.
There was a knock on the door.
Zhang Xiang hurried forward to open the door.
Seeing that the person was unfamiliar, he did not stop him and let him in.
As soon as Director Li entered the door, he heard a cry and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"I thought this little guy must be hungry. I came just in time."
Director Li and Master Liu nodded to each other as a greeting, then went into the house and carried the little guy out. At this time, Master Liu had already prepared hot water for washing, ready for Zhang Fusheng and the others to wash up and then go into the house to rest.
Director Li brought the little guy out and everyone gathered around.
Director Li skillfully checked the baby's diaper. When he saw that the baby had pooped, he quickly washed it with a hot towel, changed the baby into a clean diaper, and made half a cup of milk for the baby.
After drinking the milk, the little guy stopped crying and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
Everyone in the Zhang family was a little surprised when they saw the milk powder, as they were under the impression that their children were all fed with breast milk.
"Sister Liu, I'm going to go to work first. I'll trouble you to take care of the old hen. I'll come over in two hours."
Director Li said, pointing to the old hen that he had just put down when he entered the door.
"Go ahead and do your work. I'm here, as are Xiaojing's parents, brother and sister-in-law."
Master Liu said with a smile.
Shanyang County.
Zhao Yi returned the bicycle to his aunt's house early, had breakfast here and then went to the bus station.
When Zhao Yi got home, it was already noon and the workers were getting off work.
A lot of people came to the house.
My uncle Li Dashun, my cousins Li Baoguo and Wang Shunming, as well as Li Chao, Peng Yiju, Wang Jianguo and Li Fang.
Zhang Fusheng and Wang Kaihui had already fallen asleep in the room.
Second brother Zhang Xiang and second sister-in-law Chen Fen were arranged by Director Li to rest in the large courtyard where they had learned the craft from Zhao Yi.
Master Liu helped entertain everyone and chatted with them.
"Xiao Yi, Brother Yi."
When several people saw Zhao Yi coming back, they immediately stood up and shouted.
"Uncle, cousin, Master Wang."
Zhao Yi greeted everyone one by one.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Yi ran to the state-owned restaurant, ordered a table of food, and asked everyone to eat first.
After dinner, Li Fang and her group and cousin Li Baoguo had to go to work, leaving only the uncle who followed Zhao Yi back.
Master Liu felt relieved when he saw Xiaojing's parents came.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Seeing that only his uncle was left, Zhao Yi opened his mouth and asked. Zhao Yi did not have time to inform Li Baoguo, and of course he did not go to Lijia Village.
"Your cousin and I were collecting eggs in the village and brought them here, and then we heard custodian Wang say that Zhang Jing had given birth, so we hurried over to take a look."
Uncle Li Dashun said.
This time, the two of them delivered several hundred eggs. After deducting the round-trip fare and the money for buying gifts and going out, they also earned two yuan. When they heard that Zhang Jing had given birth, they wrapped the two yuan they earned in red paper and stuffed it into Zhang Jing's pocket.
"Xiaoyi has something else to do at home, so your uncle won't stay for long. Your aunt and I will come over when the baby is one month old."
The uncle chatted with Zhao Yi at home for a while and this time he asked to go home.
Zhao Yi knew that his uncle's family was now on the road to collect eggs, so he didn't try to persuade them to stay. He saw his uncle off the street before returning.
When we got home, the little guy started playing again.
Zhao Yi hurried into the house, picked up the little guy, checked his diaper, changed him into a clean diaper, and made some milk for him to drink. Only then did the little guy behave himself.
Zhao Yi stewed the old hen prepared by Master Liu and added some ginger as instructed by Master Liu, but no other seasonings.
After stewing for more than two hours, Zhao Yi finally brought the chicken soup to the inner room.
Zhang Jing leaned on the pillow and drank in small sips with a wooden spoon.
Not long after, Wang Kaihui woke up. He walked into the room and saw Zhang Jing drinking chicken soup. He felt a little emotional.
If the women in the village gave birth to a boy, the best they could eat during the three to five days of confinement would be egg noodles. Don't even think about chicken soup. If the men were more attentive, they might be able to have fish soup.
If a girl was born, she would get up quickly and go to work the next day, otherwise her mother-in-law would nag her non-stop. As for the child, of course she would carry him/her on her back to work.
As for the milk powder that the kid in Zhao Yi's family drinks, even his family, who are now much richer, have never seen it, let alone other families.
Before coming to Zhao Yi's house, they had never heard of milk powder.
