Chapter 65

"Ahem...Tingting, aren't you cold?" Seeing that the atmosphere had inexplicably become stiff again, Huo Xiao could only open his mouth to remind her.

Hearing this, Ruting felt a little embarrassed when she realized what she was doing.

There's no way. My elder sister has been implicated by two scumbags in a row, and it has become a conditioned reflex for her.

However, Tingting felt that her intuition was correct, otherwise why would this policeman look so honest as if he was the criminal.

Of course, I still have to ask my elder sister to find out what’s going on.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Li Ting's face: "Hello, Comrade Xie, I am Li Ting's sister."

"Hello, Comrade Rui." Xie Hao heard Rui mentioned that she had a very capable sister, and said that she could not be where she is today without the help of her sister.

The plain-clothed man supporting Ruiting should be the leader's brother-in-law mentioned by the neighbors. He certainly doesn't look like an ordinary person.

Since they were already strangers, the two sides exchanged a few polite words and then went their separate ways.

Knowing that her sister was afraid of the cold, she lit the coal stove early.

Although the temperature inside the house cannot compare to that in the north where people have heated kangs, it is still much warmer than outside.

After waiting for a long time, she saw her brother-in-law and Aunt Xiu were in a hurry to leave. She hurriedly asked, "Are you in such a hurry? Why don't you come in and have some tea to warm yourself up?"

Hu Xiu smiled and said, "No, we are all family, there are no outsiders. Xiao and I not only have to buy things and clean up the new house, but also deliver translation materials to Tingting. I estimate that we will be back in the evening for dinner."

After saying this, Lu Qing really did not want to keep them any longer, but still insisted on sending the two people out of the yard.

When she went back into the house, she saw her sister sitting by the coal stove, warming herself. She asked, "I filled a few bottles of salt water and put them under the quilt. It's warm now. Do you want to come in and lie down?"

Li Ting had been sitting in the car for more than two hours, and her waist was really aching, so she didn't refuse.

As someone who has been through this, Ruishuang knows that it is not easy for a woman to get pregnant, especially since it is her sister's first child.

After settling her into bed and cushioning her back, he sat on the edge of the bed and skillfully massaged her legs.

Ruting curled up her legs, feeling a little embarrassed. It was natural for the husband to take care of the child, after all, he also had a share in the child.

Seeing that she wanted to retract her legs, Zhui Sheng glared at her sister and said, "I'm your biological sister, what's wrong with me pinching you a few times?"

Hearing this, Ruting stopped struggling and started chatting with her sister: "...How was the class? Are you able to keep up?"

"I couldn't keep up at first, but now it's much better." In September this year, Rui Shuang enrolled in night school to study accounting. Nursing is also popular now, but she is afraid of blood.

Ruting subconsciously said, "I'll check it later."

After he finished speaking, he realized what he had said and then laughed and teased himself: "My occupational disease has come back. What I taught you is not compatible with what you have learned."

Zhuiqing also smiled: "Don't worry, I've become thick-skinned now. If you don't understand something, just ask. The classmates in our class are all very nice. You may not know that our class monitor has even organized a study group privately..."

Ruting leaned against the head of the bed, listening attentively to her elder sister talking about the big and small things she encountered in her studies, her eyes gradually falling on her lively eyes.

I still remember the first time I saw each other, those beautiful eyes were full of fatigue and deadness.

Now it is full of expectations for a better future...that's great.

"...By the way, my second brother came to the factory to see me last month. You don't know that now everyone in the factory knows that Ruiwei is my younger brother. Everyone treats me very well, especially the young girls and wives...If my second brother gets married one day, many young girls will cry." While talking and laughing, Ruishuang began to press his sister's other leg.

Hearing this, Ruting also laughed, and then pretended to ask the question that had been on her mind: "Sister, I met Xie Hao on the way here. Is he your friend?"

Ruo Ting said without any hesitation: "Comrade Xie is a good person." After making sure that she didn't see any shyness on the elder sister's face and knowing that the elder sister probably didn't have any thoughts, Ruo Ting didn't ask any more questions, but instead concerned herself with the "good person" itself: "What happened to you?"

Lu Shuang didn't want to tell her sister at first, because she felt sorry for her having to worry about her even though she was pregnant.

But she didn't expect that she would hear something wrong in such a concise sentence, so she said helplessly: "It's nothing, there's just a man in the alley whose wife died, he wants to marry your sister, and then bring his two sons to live with us."

Ruiting looked disgusted: "What kind of toad is this? How dare he think that he wants both beauty and money?"

"What beauty? People will laugh at you if they hear this." It was rare to hear such direct compliments at this time, and Lu Shuang felt a little embarrassed.

The corner of her mouth twitched: "That's not the point. That toad is bothering you? Why didn't you tell me?"

"You have a toad on your left and a toad on your right, which is... quite appropriate." Lu Shuang failed to grasp the point again, and then under the stare of his sister, he cleared his throat and explained the reason.

It turned out that the man was a temporary worker at the coal factory named Ma Jun. He was a family of more than ten people, squeezed into a house of more than 30 square meters.

Less than two months after his wife passed away, he set his sights on Lu Qing, who had a house and a job.

At first, it was Ma Jun's mother who came to help enthusiastically.

Lu Qing actually thought that he had found a good neighbor. It was not until Aunt Li Lan next door reminded him that he realized something was wrong.

After she cooled down her attitude, she was ridiculed by many neighbors a few times. Ma Jun's mother had some dignity left, so she didn't dare to visit them again.

But Ma Jun obviously doesn't think so.

In his opinion, no matter how good-looking and well-off Luo Qing is, she still has three burdens. He is a man with only two children. If you compare the two, their conditions are quite comparable!

Moreover, Ruishuang smiled at him the first time they met, so she must have a good impression of him.

Now it's like this, it's just a woman's refusal or acceptance...

Hence, Ma Jun, who was full of confidence, would appear in front of Lu Qing from time to time.

However, he did not dare to go too far and only said a few ambiguous words each time.

Until more than half a month ago, after months of trying without any response, and being ridiculed by many people as a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, he drank some horse urine in frustration.

During the rush hour, they got stuck at the entrance of the steel factory and went crazy.

If it were an ordinary person, there is a chance that he would be implicated. After all, in this kind of thing, if you think about it carefully, it is always the woman who suffers.

But Lushuang's situation was different, because he had a powerful sister, who was either the deputy factory director or the factory director, and she took special care of him.

So before things could get out of hand, the security guard, who had received instructions from his leader, took him to the police station.

Xie Hao is the director of this police station. After a few visits, the two sides became familiar with each other.

"...Comrade Xie had a scar on his face and looked fierce. I was quite scared of him at first, but after getting to know him, I found that he was a really nice person. At that time, Ma Jun was detained for 15 days. He was worried that the Ma family would cause trouble, so he personally went to the Ma family to do ideological work and came several times."

I can imagine that this "ideological work" must be a mixture of intimidation and threats: "So he comes over today...?"

Ruishuang stuffed both of her sister's legs into the quilt, and placed two thermoses at her feet to keep them warm, then replied, "The man surnamed Ma came out yesterday, and Comrade Xie said he would come to check on him more often in the near future to prevent him from giving up."

"That's such a...good person." The tone of Li Ting became meaningful.

Luo Shuang, who hadn't heard anything at all, sighed, "That's right, there are still many good people in the world."

藺葶... "Comrade Xie is not young anymore, aren't you married?"

Zhuoqing looked at her sister in surprise: "Auntie Lan next door mentioned that Comrade Xie's wife had passed away, but I didn't ask for details. What if I mentioned someone's heartache? How bad would that be?"

1. The...

Huo Xiao and Hu Xiu returned earlier than expected.

I finished packing and came back around three in the afternoon.

But they were not in a hurry to leave and left after having dinner.

When they parted, Ruishuang accompanied her to the outside of the alley. After watching her sister get into the car, she repeated worriedly that she must be notified when the baby was born.

Ting Ting readily agreed. After all, it was not only her eldest sister who was nervous. She was also nervous as it was her first time giving birth. It was definitely different to have her family members by her side.

Unfortunately, when she was about to give birth, she had no idea of ​​the many things that would happen...

So, Tingting only stayed in the small western-style building for one night. The next day, she had a good breakfast, but her water broke.

At this moment, no matter how prepared she was mentally, she was still confused.

Huo Xiao, who was sitting next to his wife, was not in much better condition, his hands began to tremble.

At the critical moment, it was the experienced midwife Ms. Hu Xiu who played a role. She slapped her son hard and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and change Tingting into a pair of clean pants and go to the hospital!"

Huo Xiao's shoulders were numb from the patting, but he still felt it was not enough. He rubbed his face vigorously, took a deep breath, and then carefully carried his wife to the bedroom.

Guoguo and Miaomiao didn't understand what was going on, but they felt uneasy instinctively and subconsciously jumped off the stool to look for their mother.

Hu Xiu was quick to pull the person back and said, "My dear, my mother is about to give birth, you are not allowed to disturb her."

I had originally planned to send the dragon-phoenix fetus to Lushuang's house to stay for a few days at night, but I didn't expect it to be born so suddenly, so now I can only take it with me.

Thinking of this, Hu Xiu did not delay, quickly put out the fire, closed the window, and hurried to the room to get the bag that had been prepared long ago...

The small western-style building is very close to the Women's and Children's Hospital, only a ten-minute drive away.

By the time Tingting was placed on the bed for examination, only twenty minutes had passed.

At this moment, Ruiting was already feeling very uncomfortable. The frequent pains caused sweat to seep out of her forehead.

Huo Xiao was so distressed that he wiped the sweat off her face and whispered to her to comfort her. All he kept saying was, "Just give birth to this one child, and no more."

At this time, how could Li Ting think about whether she would give birth or not? She didn't even want to say that she was in pain.

Just remember what my mother-in-law said, that I have to save my energy.

Finally, Hu Xiuxian couldn't stand his son anymore and stepped forward to pull him away: "Alright, shut up now and tell Tingting to be quiet."

Huo Xiao shut up immediately but was unwilling to leave. He still squatted beside the bed, holding his wife's hand tightly.

Seeing that her son's lips were not much paler than her daughter-in-law's, Hu Xiu opened her mouth. Although she felt a little disgusted, she didn't say anything in the end. Instead, she started communicating with the doctor.

When I found out that I couldn't give birth for the time being, I didn't think it was strange. After all, few people can give birth immediately after their water breaks.

But my daughter-in-law has contractions so frequently, I guess I can't wait much longer.

Thinking of this, Hu Xiu said hello to her son again, and took her twins out to make a phone call.

The incident happened suddenly and I was unable to bring any food with me. There was nothing good in the hospital cafeteria, so I had to ask my aunt-in-law to bring some soup or something to my daughter-in-law.

Hu Xiu is indeed very experienced.

When she found the post office and made a phone call and came back, Ruting was pushed into the delivery room.

There are two other companies producing it together.

But only Huo Xiao stood at the door of the delivery room with a sullen face and a heavy bag on his back.

Seeing this, Hu Xiu stepped forward to take the bag, then led the dragon and phoenix fetus to sit on a stool in the corridor and wait.

As for her son, she didn't try to persuade him. Giving birth is not easy for a woman, so what's wrong with standing for a while?

However, she didn't expect that her actions would have a different meaning in the eyes of others.

A middle-aged woman next to me asked with a smile: "Big sister, are you the mother of the woman who gave birth?"

Hu Xiu really liked when others praised her and her daughter-in-law for being as close as real mother and daughter. Whenever she heard it, she would always say a few proud words.

But at this moment she was also worried, her mind was full of whether she should discuss it with the doctor and go in to guard it herself.

I really wasn't in the mood to deal with strangers, so I just smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman thought the eldest sister was shy, so she said enthusiastically: "I think your daughter and son-in-law are both good-looking, and the baby they give birth to will definitely be pretty. You have to keep a close eye on the baby after it is born."

Hearing this, Hu Xiucai looked over in surprise: "What do you mean by this...?"

The middle-aged woman came closer and lowered her voice mysteriously: "About half a month ago, a baby boy was stolen from this hospital. He hasn't been found yet, and his mother has cried so much that her eyes are blind."

"Is there such a thing?" Hu Xiu covered her heart. As a mother, she couldn't bear to hear such tragedies.

Seeing her shocked, the woman thought she didn't believe it, so she raised her voice unconsciously: "Really, I'm not lying to you, we all know it. Look, six people came to my house today to accompany the birth, just to look after the child."

I used to deliver babies in the village, so where have I seen anyone stealing babies? Hu Xiu thanked him repeatedly, and lamented that there are so many strange things in the world, how could there be such a heartless person.

The old lady from another family curled her lips and said, "Why are you worrying so much? I just saw it. It's such a round belly. I know it's a girl. Who would steal it?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman was extremely embarrassed. She had good intentions, but now...

Hu Xiu had experience and had long seen that her daughter-in-law was pregnant with a girl. She immediately rolled her eyes at the old lady and said in a sinister tone, "What's wrong with a girl? As a grandmother, I also like girls and will raise them with all my love. Some people are just unlucky. What does it have to do with the gender of the child?"

old lady...

The middle-aged woman was even more embarrassed: "Are you a pregnant woman?"

Hu Xiu was very proud: "I treat my daughter-in-law like my own daughter, and I love her like my own flesh and blood. I can't help it. Who said my daughter-in-law is lucky?"

old lady...
