Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 81: Everyone loves you, flowers bloom when you see them
At this time, Liu Haizhong put his hands behind his back, put on an air of hostility, and became relentless towards Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, based on your attitude, I, the second uncle in the courtyard, feel that I can't let you go easily. If I don't punish you by making you sweep the courtyard for a month, it will hardly be a punishment! Lao Yi, what do you think?"

As he said this, Liu Haizhong also said something to Yi Zhonghai.

However, Yi Zhonghai hesitated after hearing what Liu Haizhong said. After all, the matter was over, and the punishment Liu Haizhong mentioned...

Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Damao was also unhappy. He glared at Liu Haizhong and said, "Second uncle, what kind of punishment are you giving? The first uncle just said that it's normal for us to fight and quarrel. What's the matter? Even if you are the second uncle, can you control other couples' quarrels? To be honest, has there never been a quarrel in your family? You and the first aunt, and you and your boys, aren't they all fighting? So it's okay for you to fight, but not for us? Are you asking for privilege? I think your idea is wrong. Believe it or not, I will go to the police station to report the case!"

"You...you...you are so good, Xu Damao, you are quite eloquent. I...I won't argue with you! You are just a little brat, you really don't know manners!"

For a moment, Liu Haizhong's face flushed, and he was visibly excited, but his tone softened instantly. After all, he just felt that Xu Damao ignored him, the second uncle, which made him embarrassed, and wanted to show off his power. Who would have thought that Xu Damao would bring up this topic all of a sudden? Even if he was stupid, he knew that this topic would definitely not be discussed, so he simply put it aside and turned around and went back to the house.

After seeing this scene, some people who were planning to watch the show couldn't help but sigh, feeling that they had missed a good show.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai also spread his hands and said, "Alright, everyone go back, this matter is over, let's go, go home."

With the words of the uncle, the neighbors who were watching the scene dispersed in twos and threes. At the same time, Yi Zhonghai coughed lightly at He Yuzhu who was watching the excitement nearby, feeling somewhat helpless.

He Yuzhu looked away upon seeing this. Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that the fight between Xu Damao and Qin Huairu was definitely not that simple, no one wanted to talk about it any more. He Yuzhu was naturally too lazy to ask so many questions and just watched for fun.

……

This New Year is also the second New Year that He Yuzhu has celebrated since he came to this era. Compared with the first year, the life of the He family has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The biggest change, of course, is that he got married and will soon have a child of his own. In addition, Yu Shui now has a younger sister, and can now fulfill her role as a sister. During the Chinese New Year, the two children had a lot of fun playing with a companion.

As for the uncle and aunt, they have changed more in their mentality. They were anxious to find someone to take care of them in their old age, but now, after understanding and meeting Zhuzi, they have changed some of their mindsets and are living a more and more enjoyable life with the idea of ​​sincerity for sincerity.

A few days after the festive day, in the backyard, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu quarreled again for unknown reasons. Fortunately, this time, because the uncle and several elders in the courtyard were there, the two did not fight like before. However, since then, the couple quarreled every three days and a big quarrel every five days, and the residents of the courtyard were somewhat accustomed to it.

During this period, the three uncles did go to Xu's house to persuade them, but it was useless. They persuaded them on the same day and said a few words, but they quarreled again a few days later. After all, it was someone else's family affair, and the three uncles could not use any tough measures.

The key point is that although the couple quarreled, when others came to mediate, they all said that it was just some trivial matters. Over time, the three uncles had no choice but to let them quarrel. As long as they didn't make a big deal like fighting, they could only let them do whatever they wanted.

Of course, the eldest uncle, upholding his sense of responsibility as the uncle in charge of the courtyard, still privately looked for Jia Zhangshi again. Although Qin Huairu has married into the Xu family now, the child is still with the Jia family after all. The couple quarreling every day will definitely affect the child.

However, Jia Zhang was only concerned about the grandson of the Jia family, and didn't care about Huaihua and Xiaodang at all. As for Qin Huairu, it didn't matter at all. After marrying into the Xu family, she would be the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. Why would she, a Jia, get involved?
In this regard, the uncle could not find any reason to refute and could only accept this argument helplessly. However, he was also quite emotional about Jia Zhang's current actions.

Although Qin Huairu married into the Xu family, because of the treaty agreed upon previously, Jia Zhang could also bring Banggeng directly to Xu Damao's house for dinner.

Therefore, now in the courtyard, as long as there is a restaurant, Jia Zhang will bring Banggeng and the old couple to Xu Damao's house, eat, and then go home without saying a word. With the savings of three meals a day, Jia Zhang's life has become much more comfortable.

Because he depends on Xu Damao for food and drink, Banggeng is very obedient now. When he sees Xu Damao, he directly calls him Dad Xu. This is the little guy who took the initiative to call him that. It has to be said that an ungrateful person is an ungrateful person. Whoever feeds you is your mother!

……

Time flies, and more than a month has passed. Chen Miaoyun's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming more and more inconvenient for her to move around at home.

He Yuzhu did a quick calculation and found that she had been pregnant for eight or nine months and was almost due to give birth.

So, He Yuzhu and his family decided to send Chen Miaoyun to the hospital in advance. It would be better to have the hospital nurses take care of her than to stay at home. He Yuzhu was a little nervous. It was just a matter of spending a little more money, and He Yuzhu didn't care about this little money.

After agreeing on the plan, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle out of the compound, found the tow truck driver, brought him all the way to the gate of the courtyard, and asked a middle-aged woman and others to help support Chen Miaoyun onto the trailer.

Then, several people gathered and came to the hospital calmly.

After arriving at the hospital, He Yuzhu followed the old lady and helped Chen Miaoyun in.

As soon as he entered the hospital lobby, He Yuzhu saw a crowded crowd. In any era, there are always many patients seeking medical treatment.

From a distance, He Yuzhu saw a female nurse and quickly stepped forward: "Hello, comrade, my wife is pregnant, can you help check it out?"

Seeing this, the female nurse glanced at Chen Miaoyun and nodded: "Well, then I will take you to see Doctor Wang, she is responsible for examining pregnant women."

As she spoke, the female nurse led the way in front. Seeing this, He Yuzhu hurriedly went back to support his wife and followed the female nurse all the way.

When the female nurse brought He Yuzhu and the others to the doctor's office, she pointed at the door and said, "Go in, Doctor Wang is inside."

In response, He Yuzhu thanked him repeatedly, and then went in with Chen Miaoyun. After introducing the purpose of the visit, He Yuzhu originally thought that he should avoid the examination, but Dr. Wang did not say any nonsense at all. He stood up directly, picked up the stethoscope, and put it on Chen Miaoyun for a while, then asked Chen Miaoyun a few questions casually, and then said: "No problem, both adults and children are healthy."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's mouth twitched. It wasn't because of anything else, but mainly because of this examination... Isn't it too simple?
But then I thought, I can't expect to get B-ultrasound or X-ray in this era, right? I immediately nodded and thanked Dr. Wang.

"Well, I just checked and found that the fetal movement in your wife's belly is different from the usual situation. It is very likely that she is having twins."

"Twins? Really?" Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes suddenly showed excitement.

"Ahem, comrade, please keep your voice down. This is a hospital, don't make loud noises. Based on my experience, this should be correct."

In response to this, an old lady at the side also showed a happy expression. "Twins, twins again, twins are great! Zhuzi, this is a blessing!"

Although He Yuzhu was very happy about this, he soon thought: "Doctor Wang, there shouldn't be any problems when my wife gives birth."

Although twins are good news, He Yuzhu is equally concerned about his wife's health. After all, from the previous examination, it can be seen that some of the production technologies of this era are definitely not as good as those of later generations.

In response, Doctor Wang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry about this. I have just checked and there is no problem with the fetus and your wife's health. And judging from her complexion, she is also quite good. She should have taken a lot of nutritional supplements on a regular basis, right?"

In response, He Yuzhu was relieved: "Well, after all, pregnancy is a big deal, and the body must be well nourished. Thank you, Doctor Wang."

"It's okay. Now that the examination is over, you can take her back."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's heart moved, and he stepped forward and said, "By the way, Doctor Wang, I want to ask if my wife can stay in the hospital so that it will be more convenient for her when she gives birth." After hearing this, Doctor Wang frowned and said, "The hospital is short of beds now, and there are no vacant beds..." As he spoke, Doctor Wang took another look at the clothes and appearance of He Yuzhu's family. Combined with the content of the conversation just now, he could also know that this family should not be short of money, so he added, "But if you are willing, you can come again in half a month, and then I will check your wife. According to my inference, your wife is about 20 days away from giving birth. If she is going to give birth by then, I can arrange for her to be hospitalized, but the cost of hospitalization is not low, you have to consider it."

"Don't think about it, don't think about it, Doctor Wang, I'll do as you say. I'll bring my wife back in half a month. Thank you, Doctor Wang."

"You're welcome."

……

Just like that, He Yuzhu and others left the hospital happily. After they returned to the courtyard, Chen Miaoyun sat on the sofa and then looked at He Yuzhu with a smile.

However, before He Yuzhu could say anything, Yu Shui came over and looked at Chen Miaoyun's belly. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing. You are pregnant with twins. You can give birth to two children for my brother!"

He Yushui and Chen Miaozhi naturally knew that Chen Miaoyun was pregnant with twins.

Both of them surrounded Chen Miaoyun, very carefully, for fear of affecting Chen Miaoyun's body, but the two girls' eyes were flickering, and they were curiously looking around Chen Miaoyun's belly.

"Alright, alright, why are you two still looking at them in such a curious way? From now on, these will be your nephews and nieces. You'll have plenty of time to look at them." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

At the same time, thanks to the busy work of an aunt, the table was ready for dinner.

Now that it is the critical day of delivery, He Yuzhu naturally has time to accompany his wife and stay by her side.

After dinner, the aunt cleaned up the house and left. Just as He Yuzhu and Chen Miaoyun were getting close, there was a knock on the door.

"Zhu Zi, open the door."

It was the voice of the third uncle Yan Bugui.

He Yuzhu quickly got up and opened the door.

The first thing he saw was the third uncle smiling at him and saying, "Zhu Zi, it's from the post office. They said there's a letter for you."

After hearing what the third uncle said, He Yuzhu also saw the postman behind him.

"Hello, you are Comrade He Yuzhu, right?"

"Yes, I am He Yuzhu, comrade, may I ask what you are doing..." He Yuzhu nodded.

"Then this should be your lover, Comrade Chen Miaoyun, right?" The postman took another look at Chen Miaoyun, who was pregnant in the house, and then took out a thick letter and a wooden box from his bag.

"This is a letter and something sent to you, Comrade He Yuzhu, please sign and receive it."

Seeing the letter and the wooden box, He Yuzhu's heart moved and he looked at the sender - Chen Shili.

Immediately, I understood.

This was a letter from his father-in-law whom he had never met. So He Yuzhu signed his name, thanked the postman, and sent him away.

"Zhu Zi, where did this letter come from?"

Looking at the letter and the wooden box, Yan Bugui asked curiously.

"It was sent by my father-in-law." He Yuzhu didn't hide anything.

"Oh, is that so? Fine then, you two just watch over it. I'll be leaving first."

After Yan Bugui left, He Yuzhu closed the door and sat down on the sofa with his wife.

At this time, the excitement in Chen Miaoyun's eyes was already quite obvious.

"Wife, pay attention to your emotions, pay attention to your emotions, the baby is about to be born, I will read this letter to you..."

……

By the time He Yuzhu finished reading the contents of the letter, Chen Miaoyun, who was listening nearby, had already burst into tears.

The content of the letter was very simple. It just described the situation of the Chen family in the rural area in a very normal way.

Since Chen Miaoyun and Chen Miaozhi left home, Chen Shili's family was very worried about the safety of Chen Miaoyun and her sister. It was not until they received the letter from Chen Miaoyun that they were truly happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Moreover, they were very grateful to their son-in-law, He Yuzhu, for sending them food and food coupons, which were life-saving things that allowed them to hold on until the relief food was distributed. The last letter stated that he wanted Miaoyun and her sister to stay in Sijiu City and live a good life with He Yuzhu.

Of course, there were also some words praising He Yuzhu, a son-in-law whom she had never met. This made Chen Miaoyun wonder if Zhuzi was praising himself. After taking a look at the contents of the letter, Chen Miaoyun wiped her tears and said with some amusement, "My dad and the others have never even met you, but they are praising you to the sky."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu also helped his wife wipe away her tears, and then smiled proudly: "That's right, don't you see who your man is? If you let him go, he will be loved by everyone and flowers will bloom wherever he sees him. He is a model husband of the new era, okay?"

Hearing this, Chen Miaoyun burst into laughter and said, "I just knew you were being poor." However, the happy and bright smile on her face clearly showed that she agreed with Zhuzi's words.

……

Half a month passed in a flash.

On this day, He Yuzhu was in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill. After he had nothing to do, he went to Director Cai and asked about it. He found out that there was no entertaining work that day, so he asked Director Cai for permission to take his wife to the hospital for a physical examination.

Cai Youle knew that He Yuzhu's wife was pregnant, and he estimated that she would give birth during this period, so he readily agreed.
