When Li Mingqing returned, he heard that Qin Chenglan had given birth to a son.
Zhang Tiezhu was so happy that he almost set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Old Mrs. Zhang, who was locked up at home, didn't know about this yet. If she knew, she would probably faint from anger.
But she always believed that the child in Qin Chenglan's belly was born to bring bad luck to her.
Sun Jiaxue said: "It was really not easy. It took me half an hour to give birth to the baby."
"Childbirth is like this, some are fast and some are slow. Think about it, when I gave birth to your eldest brother, it took me a whole day, while Ming Qing gave birth in the field in just ten minutes."
Old Lady Li said soothingly, fearing that she would be scared.
Yang Daya said, "With Ming Qing here, you and the baby will be safe. I heard you're going to the county hospital to give birth. Look, few people in the village can go to the hospital to give birth."
Sun Jiaxue touched her bulging belly and smiled.
Dazhu's mother, who had come to watch the fun, interrupted, "Mom, let's go to the hospital. That's going to cost a lot of money. Childbirth is a snap, there's no need to go to the hospital."
"Do what you can. If you don't go to the hospital, there are ways to live there. If you do go to the hospital, there are ways to live there."
"It's really burned with money, what could possibly go wrong?"
"Mother Dazhu, haven't we witnessed the bloody events of childbirth in our lifetime?"
Old Lady Li lowered her voice when she said this.
Dazhu Niang didn't say anything else.
Zhang Tiezhu said, "It's a mess at home today. I'm waiting for the 100th day so that all the villagers can come and have a drink."
"Go and do your own thing, don't worry about us."
Li Mingqing took Sun Jiaxue's hand and walked back.
Old bachelor Li and old woman Zhang were walking towards them, and old woman Zhang was holding a rope in her hand.
"Li family boy, I heard that Zhang family's wife gave birth. Is it a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know that."
Old Lady Zhang pricked up her ears and said dissatisfiedly, "How could you not know? Didn't you just come back from that unfilial family?"
"I came to pick up my wife. I didn't listen to anything else."
Old bachelor Li kicked old woman Zhang.
"Why are you asking? Can this be eaten? Go to the mountains and collect firewood."
The two of them walked one in front and one behind.
Old Mrs. Zhang was wondering in her mind whether it was a boy or a girl.
Judging from Qin Chenglan's round belly, it must be a girl.
Li, the bachelor, asked, "Who's older, you or Zhao Guilan?"
"I am a year younger than that old woman."
"One year younger? You can't tell at all that he's one year younger."
She looked like she was five or six years older than Zhao Guilan, like an old lady.
He was still thinking about leaving a descendant for himself.
"No matter how young that old woman looks, you can't hook up with her. Wang Mazi is not a pushover."
"If I don't hit you for a moment, you'll go to heaven!"
Old Mrs. Zhang was afraid of being beaten and quickly shut up.
The days go by and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.
The villagers were preparing for the autumn harvest, repairing the hoes, fixing the wooden carts, and preparing the ropes...
All the stuff is ready one by one.
Li Mingqing is extremely busy at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Maybe it was because it was a holiday, there were a lot of people coming and going, and although not many mooncakes came, they were all sold out by the afternoon.
People who come to buy mooncakes buy one or two to try the flavor.
Zhao Xiaoling said, "There are two left. Let's each take one."
"No need, my family should have bought it in the county town, you can buy it all."
The system just held a lottery, and there was a big box of mooncakes of various flavors.
It looks much more delicious than these two five-nut mooncakes.
"Luckily, my sister-in-law brought back two kilograms yesterday. If I had known it would sell so quickly, I would have weighed two kilograms this morning."
Today is a holiday, so I left work two hours early.
On the way back, Li Mingqing met Li Xiangxia and Zhu Huamao who were returning to their mother's home.
The two of them were riding bicycles, which looked like they were newly bought.
No one spoke all the way to the village entrance.
Zhu Huamao saw him only when he turned around.
"What a coincidence, have you been behind me all this time?"
"I saw someone riding a bicycle up ahead, and I never thought it was you."
"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiangxia wants to come back and visit."
He took two hours off to accompany her back to the village, for fear of encountering the same incident as last time.
There is a small basket on the handlebars.
There was half a pound of pork and a few mooncakes in the basket.
Li Mingqing rode his bike home without saying much. He had nothing much to say to Li Xiangxia.
New house.
"Wife, I bought a lot of mooncakes, come and try them."
Sun Jiaxue looked at him in disbelief as she looked at the big box on the table.
In the past, you couldn’t eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. You could only smell them, and you couldn’t even eat the mooncake crumbs.
"Why so many?"
"There are many people in my family, so I have to buy more, otherwise there won't be enough to eat."
“The taste is different.”
Five-nut mooncakes, red bean paste mooncakes, salted egg yolk mooncakes, and fruit mooncakes of various flavors...
Li Mingqing took out a red bean paste one and cut it in half.
"Come, let's see how it tastes."
"This is too much. Just a small piece will do."
"Look at how much there is. It's enough to last for a month."
Sun Jiaxue took a small bite and found it soft and dense, melting in her mouth.
“It’s delicious.”
"Pick one of each flavor and send it to Mom and the others."
Li Mingqing was holding bags, each containing eight mooncakes.
The two men came to the old house carrying bags.
"Mom, mooncakes."
"Oh my god, there are so many mooncakes! This year we can finally eat mooncakes. In previous years, one mooncake was shared among several people, so we could only taste it."
