Chapter 107
When Lu Cheng returned to the family compound, it was time for dinner. Some people saw Lu Cheng coming back with a few fish and asked, "Captain Lu, has Comrade Lin given birth?"
After an afternoon, everyone in the family compound knew that Lin Qingqing had had fetal movement in the afternoon, so when Lu Cheng came back, everyone thought that Lin Qingqing was most likely to have given birth.
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "She gave birth." He rarely smiled at others. He usually spoke politely and calmly, but rarely smiled. But now, the smile on his face clearly revealed his joy. The kind of joy that emanated from the heart, which could not be suppressed.
Everyone was also infected by his smile. "Look how happy Captain Lu is. Did he give birth to a daughter of a noble lady?" This was not meant to "curse" someone to give birth to a daughter of a noble lady. In the eyes of ordinary people, asking someone whether they gave birth to a daughter of a noble lady might mean this, because in this era, men are valued over women, but it is not the case in the Lu family. After more than half a year of promotion by Lin's mother, everyone knows that the Lu family likes daughters of a noble lady. That's why this question came up.
Lu Cheng said, "Yes, I gave birth to a daughter of a noble lady." He is a man of few words. He will only answer one question when everyone asks. Because he was in a hurry to go back and make porridge for Lin Qingqing, he did not stop when answering.
"You have a son first and a daughter later. Congratulations to Captain Lu for having both sons and daughters."
"That's right. Others bloom first and then bear fruit. Captain Lu's fruit comes first and then blooms." "It's
better to have a brother first. With a brother to support his sister, who dares to bully her?"
This is indeed true. If the age difference between the brother and the sister is big, the brother can't support his sister. But it's different for the brother. The brother is older than the sister. If the sister is bullied by her husband's family, the brother will go to the door directly .
Someone laughed and said, "If anyone dares to bully the daughter of Captain Lu, we won't agree."
"That's right, whoever dares to bully, our entire family will not agree."
Then everyone laughed.
When Lu Cheng arrived at the door of his house, he saw smoke coming out of the chimney. He thought that it must be Lu Haici who came back from school. "Haici?"
When Lu Haici heard his father's voice, he ran out of the kitchen excitedly: "Dad, did mom give birth? Is it a brother or a sister?"
Lu Cheng looked at his forehead sweating, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but touch his head: "Yes, it's a sister." Maybe he didn't see Lu Haici being born before, and Lu Haici was raised by his aunt when he was a child. So Lu Cheng had the love, hope and education of a father for his son. However, he did not have the excitement of watching Lin Qingqing giving birth, nor did he have the uncontrollable emotion that rose from his heart after the baby in Lin Qingqing's belly was born.
But now, seeing Lu Haici again, he has this feeling, a feeling that my son has grown up.
When Lu Haici heard that it was a younger sister, he jumped up happily: "That's great." Compared to his younger brother, he likes his younger sister more. His younger sister is pretty and cute, while his younger brother is naughty. "Dad, I cooked porridge for Mom." He naggled, "When I came back from school, everyone said that Mom went to the hospital to give birth to a younger brother or sister, so I asked Aunt Qin how I could cook for Mom. Aunt Qin said that Mom had just given birth to a child and needed to eat rice soup." He washed the rice himself and Aunt Qin added water for him. When he was cooking porridge, he was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time. "Dad, can I go to the hospital to see mom and sister later?" He had a lot of money in his piggy bank. He was going to the county town on Sunday to buy a gift for his sister.
"Of course, you can do your homework first. Dad will add the fish meat to the porridge you cooked. We will send food to mom later." Lu Cheng said.
"Hey." Lu Haici hurried back to his room to do his homework. While doing his homework, he always had a smile on his face.
Lu Cheng went into the kitchen and took a look at the porridge cooked by Lu Haici. Just like his mother-in-law said, there was a lot of water. Then, he went to deal with the fish. After dealing with the fish, he began to cut the fish meat into minced meat and poured it into the porridge.
Lu Cheng's cooking skills are not bad now. In the past six months, he has learned to cook from his mother-in-law whenever he has time. He knows that his mother-in-law cannot live here for the rest of her life, so after his mother-in-law returns to her hometown, his wife will have to take care of the children, and he will have to do the cooking, so he learned very hard. But maybe he is not very talented in cooking, so he can only cook the rice and dishes.
After a pot of porridge was ready, Lu Cheng called Lu Haici, and the father and son ate some at home first. There was a lot of porridge, so even if they ate it, there was still a lot left. Then, Lu Cheng put the porridge into the lunch box. Then he took his son on a bicycle to the hospital.
On the way, Lu Haici asked nervously: "Dad, do you think my sister will like me?"
"Yes." Lu Cheng said decisively.
"Really?" Lu Haici sat on the back of the bicycle, hugging his father's waist, "But my sister has never met me, so how do you know that my sister will like me?"
Lu Cheng: "Because you are the older brother and she is the younger sister, you are brother and sister, so she will definitely like you. Just like dad has never met you, but after knowing that your mother was pregnant with you, he knew that he would like you." This is something Lu Cheng would not say before, but after Lin Qingqing became pregnant, he understood this kind of liking. It is natural to like relatives. After this unborn child knew her existence, he liked her.
Lu Haici is a thoughtful child. Listening to his father's words, he felt even happier. He was not born yet, but his father liked him. His sister was not born yet, but he liked his sister. So, even if his sister has not met him yet, she will like him, because they are brother and sister. "Dad, I want to
go to the department store on Sunday." "What for?" Lu Cheng asked.
Lu Haici: "I want to buy a gift for your sister. I want to give her a meeting gift. When I was little, my grandmother and great grandmother gave me a meeting gift. A meeting gift is a gift you give to someone when you meet them for the first time."
Lu Cheng thought to himself that he didn't prepare a meeting gift for his daughter either. But when he first met Lu Haici, he bought her a lot of things because he hadn't been home for several years. "What kind of gift are you going to prepare for your sister?"
Lu Haici said, "I don't know, Dad. When I was little, did you prepare a gift for me?"
Lu Cheng said, "You did, right?"
Lu Haici was curious, "What did you prepare? Why don't I remember it?"
"..." Lu Cheng thought, it would be strange if you could remember it, "You were only one year old at that time. I came back from a mission and took a long vacation to visit you in my hometown. I bought milk powder and malted milk." Thinking about it carefully, that's all. Because a one-year-old can only eat these things.
Lu Haici heard that his father also prepared a gift for him, and his mouth curled up with joy. "Then I'll buy milk powder and malted milk for my sister."
Lu Cheng: "We have it at home." There are several cans of milk powder at home.
"Ah... I know what to buy for my sister." Lu Haici suddenly thought of it, "I will buy her a pretty hair tie. Little girls like pretty hair ties."
Lu Cheng thought of the swaddled daughter he saw today: "Your sister doesn't have hair yet." Those few strands of hair were negligible.
Lu Haici said: "Then your sister will grow hair, Dad, you can't say your sister has no hair, your sister will be unhappy to hear that. Little girls like to be pretty the most, if you say she is not pretty, she will not like you."
Lu Cheng: "..."
While the father and son were talking, they arrived at the hospital. Lu Cheng parked the bicycle first, and Lu Haici ran towards the hospital with the lunch box.
It was getting a little dark.
Lin Qingqing was still sleeping in the hospital. Lin's mother was watching her daughter and granddaughter while chatting with the mother of the woman next door. When they first arrived, the woman next door was alone. At dinner time, the mother of the woman next door came to bring her dinner.
"As a mother-in-law, how can she be worse than a mother? Look, sister-in-law, my daughter gave birth yesterday. Her husband's family sent her to the hospital. After they knew she gave birth to a girl, they left. They haven't come since yesterday. When they wanted to marry my daughter, they said all kinds of nice things. Now, their true nature is exposed." The old lady's mouth was spitting, and her anger was visible. She also saw that Lin Qingqing gave birth to a daughter, and it was Lin's mother who took care of her. She thought that she was the same as her own daughter, and her husband's family didn't like her for giving birth to a girl. So she started nagging Lin's mother.
Lin's mother sighed: "That's right. In the countryside where we are from, many girls can't even go to school. That's not all. The hard part is that the girls don't have enough to eat and wear warm clothes every day, and they are also beaten and scolded. Oh, what a hard life." Lin's mother sighed.
"Are you from the countryside?" The old lady was a little surprised. "You don't look like you are from the countryside." She saw that the clothes that Lin's mother wore were not patched. She looked very energetic and didn't have the rusticity of a country girl. She didn't look like she was from the countryside at all.
Lin's mother said, "We are from the countryside, and my son-in-law's family is in the county town." Although their family bought a house in the county town, Lin's mother did not look down on country people. In many cases, she also called herself a country person. Unless in front of those arrogant people, she would say that she was from the county town.
"Then you must have a hard time?" The old lady asked, "People in the county town look down on country people." Although she was also from the county town.
Lin's mother said, "That's not the case. My son-in-law's family treats my daughter very well."
The old lady didn't believe it. She saw that there was no one from Lin Qingqing's in-laws in the ward. She thought Lin's mother was just trying to save face, but she didn't say anything. We are all poor people. Why should we save face for others? The old lady sighed, "Just treat your daughter well. Our family..."
"Grandma..." At this moment, a crisp voice sounded. It turned out that Lu Haici came with a bag.
