Liu Xiangrui's father, Liu Jiqing, was the village party secretary of Wangjia Village. He was a good person, but his enthusiasm extended to the whole village, not just to Wang Tianxiao.
In order to survive in the village, including registering the children's household registration and the farmland, etc., it was said that collective discussion was required, but in the end, he made the decisions alone.
Having lived two lives, Wang Tianxiao understands the complexities of human relationships.
No one is willing to help you without a reason; all human relationships are ultimately a form of exchange.
Only through mutual contribution can a continuous flow of life be achieved.
Wang Tianxiao's "sensible" behavior increased Liu Xiangrui's goodwill towards him, and he became more enthusiastic. He parked the tractor on the grass in front of the health center, turned off the engine, and helped Wang Tianxiao carry his luggage.
Wang Tianxiao declined several times, but seeing that he insisted, he finally accepted.
Reciprocity can gradually bring people closer, and Wang Tianxiao felt that this old classmate was someone he could get along with.
.
Hospitals in that era were very rudimentary.
The Qingquan Town Health Center consists of only a two-story building with several rows of bungalows behind it. The small building houses doctors' offices for various examinations and treatments, while inpatient care is provided in the bungalows behind it.
Wang Tianxiao needed to register, so he asked Liu Xiangrui to watch the luggage for the time being. He carried his daughter and helped his wife to complete the hospital admission procedures first.
Many things were not very standardized, and Wang Tianxiao was a little uncomfortable at first. He ran around and worked up a sweat before he was finally settled into a ward.
The only advantage was that there were many wards and very few patients. There were empty wards everywhere, unlike in later generations when it was difficult to get a bed, especially in the obstetrics and gynecology wards, without connections.
The wards here are divided into different levels, with two-person rooms and three-person rooms, and the prices are different.
A triple room costs one yuan per day, while a double room costs three yuan per day.
Wang Tianxiao chose the two-person room without hesitation.
He can still afford this amount of money, and he won't let his wife suffer any grievances. Isn't that the only use of money for a man?
After tidying up the ward, moving in all his belongings, and seeing Liu Xiangrui off, Wang Tianxiao jumped up and collapsed onto the empty bed, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"You must be tired," Li Yali asked with concern as she lay on another bed.
"Haha, this is nothing. I would go through fire and water for you without hesitation. This little thing is nothing."
"Pfft." Li Yali was both amused and exasperated.
She gradually got used to Wang Tianxiao's ramblings in front of her.
However, she was very happy, feeling that her husband's words matched his actions, and she was truly blessed to have married such a man.
You should know that when she married Wang Tianxiao, almost no one was optimistic about the relationship.
My parents didn't object, but they still subtly expressed a lot of concerns.
The family was poor, the family situation was complicated, and there were unresolved issues between the two villages. No matter how you looked at it, they were destined to suffer.
Indeed, she suffered a lot in the past few years, and sometimes she would secretly wipe away tears, but she didn't dare let her husband see it, afraid that he would worry.
Unexpectedly, the hard times soon came to an end.
Seeing her husband's smiling face and tender gaze, she felt like the happiest woman in the world.
"Mom, are you going to give me a little brother or a little sister?"
Wang Fang leaned against the edge of the bed, gently touching her mother's belly.
Do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?
"I'll have to think about it carefully," Wang Fang tilted her head, hesitated for a long time, and said helplessly, "I like both my younger brother and sister, so what should I do? Can I have two at once?"
"Pfft, Mom also wants to have two for you, but Mom doesn't know how many are in this belly until they are born."
"Then it's fine with anything. As long as it's born from Mom, I like it. I can share my candy with him."
"Yes, Fangwa is such a good older sister." Li Yali stroked her daughter's head and affectionately straightened her crooked braid.
"Alright, you guys stay here for now. I'll go to your aunt's house and bring her over to take care of you. I'm fine with everything else, but I really don't have much experience with childbirth."
“Okay, I haven’t been back to my parents’ home for a while,” Li Yali nodded, then added, “When you get there, don’t get into any conflicts with them. We can’t do anything about the issues between the two villages.”
Wang Tianxiao actually knew what Li Yali meant by "having a conflict".
Unlike the Wang family, which consisted entirely of villains, the Li family, apart from the eldest brother-in-law Li Guanlin and his wife, were all very kind.
Even if Li Guanlin is a person who is a bit selfish and stingy, he would not think of bullying others. So strictly speaking, he cannot be called a bad person. He is just an ordinary person with a weak sense of morality.
The two villages had a conflict, and the Wang family cared a lot about it. However, apart from Li Guanlin, the other members of the Li family didn't have the same idea, so naturally they didn't have any objections to him as their son-in-law.
Therefore, when his wife said not to have conflicts with her family, she was specifically referring to Li Guanlin, but she just didn't want to name him.
"I know." Wang Tianxiao jumped out of bed, rubbed his face, and left the ward.
"Yi Niang" means mother-in-law, which is a dialect term commonly used here. "Yue Fu" means father-in-law.
Interestingly, his mother and sisters were also called "auntie," so Wang Tianxiao had wondered about the origin of this terminology when he was a child, finding it very unreasonable.
But everyone else was calling him that, so he just followed suit, otherwise his father-in-law and mother-in-law wouldn't be used to it.
Wang Tianxiao had two considerations when he asked his mother-in-law to come and take care of his wife.
First, there's his own situation; he can't find anyone to ask for help right away.
As for the mother, there are always some inconveniences. She doesn't like Li Yali, her daughter-in-law, so she certainly won't take good care of her.
Although my younger sister Wang Xiaomei has a good temper and personality, she lives in Lanzhou, not Qingcheng.
My second younger sister, Wang Xiaolan, has a bad temper and is prone to anger. Besides, she went to work in the south and is not at home for the time being.
Then we can only look for it at my mother-in-law's house.
My mother-in-law's full name is Qin Xiaoling. Because she is highly respected in the village and is the most senior member of the family, many people are unaware of her name.
Qin Xiaoling's personality is very similar to Li Yali's; she is the kind of very gentle and kind traditional woman.
In her previous life, Qin Xiaoling treated Wang Tianxiao very well, no less so than her mother Zhang Meifeng.
That's why Wang Tianxiao ostensibly wanted his mother-in-law to take care of his wife for a few days, but in reality, he also wanted to take her out to rest for a few days and buy her some good food.
Moreover, I am truly at ease knowing that my mother-in-law is taking care of my wife.
This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
A few minutes later, Wang Tianxiao's motorcycle was already driving on the small road leading to Lijia Village.
Lijia Village and Wangjia Village are actually adjacent. Lijia Village is located directly west of Wangjia Village. There is a narrow alley, about ten meters wide, between the two villages.
Because the two villages have a conflict, without this alley, they would probably be fighting every day.
