Chapter 1384 The arrogant Niu Dali and Peng Yongli give birth to a baby
Niu Dali swayed, shaking his calves, walked to the edge of the talking crowd angrily, and said something very embarrassing in Cantonese.
"Hello everyone."
Hearing the sound, all the aunts and sisters-in-law turned their heads to look at him.
It's just that Niu Dali was wearing "fancy clothes", glasses, and long hair. They didn't have Zhou Chen's eyesight, so they didn't recognize him for a while.
"Who is this? What is this?"
"I don't know? Does this tone come from the south?"
"Is this person a boy or a girl?"
"?"
Amid everyone's gaze and discussion, Niu Dali made a coquettish pose, slowly took off the glasses on his face, and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
"Oh, my God, Niu Dali?"
Yao Yuling's smiling expression changed, and she looked shocked.
Aunt Lu, Sister Wu, and others also had their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Oh, Dali, when did you come back?"
"Oh my God, Dali, why have you changed your appearance? What are you wearing? Stockings. Oh my, why are you wearing stockings as a big man?"
"Hahaha……"
After recognizing Niu Dali, everyone laughed even more wildly, but most of them were still surprised.
In the eyes of the neighbors in the compound, Niu Dali had a very deep impression in the past. He was quite slovenly most of the time. But the Niu Dali in front of him, no matter how strange his appearance and clothes were, at least he looked clean and much better than before.
Seeing Niu Dali surrounded by everyone and Peng Yongli being supported by Zhou Chen, he was also very surprised.
"Why did Niu Dali become like this?"
She has lived in this compound for several years, and because of Zhou Chen, she often sees Niu Dali. The extremely arrogant Niu Dali in front of her is indeed very different from her previous image.
Zhou Chen just smiled slightly and said: "Let him return home in fine clothes, let him play the pewter."
Zhou Chen saw Niu Dali's quarrel and he just smiled. If others didn't know what was going on with Niu Dali, how could he not know?
After working hard outside for a year and making some money, he always comes back to complain. This is his personality, especially in front of the woman he loves.
Without disturbing Niu Dali, Zhou Chen helped Peng Yongli continue walking.
When Niu Dali was done squealing, he happily came to see Zhou Chen.
"How about it, Zhou Chen, am I looking better than before?"
Zhou Chen said: "I don't see it. I think your aesthetics still need to be improved. You are really eye-catching."
Niu Dali rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What do you know? People in the southern cities all wear this. Didn't you see these bell-bottom pants? They are very popular now. Oh, I have been in the car before and I didn't feel it.
There are changes outside, but I went to the south this year, and it was really eye-opening. There is really no comparison between here and there."
"Let me tell you, Zhou Chen, with your brain, being a policeman is too unqualified. If you go to Shenzhen City with me and hang out together, we will definitely make a fortune."
He didn't just want to show off in front of Zhou Chen, but he really wanted to invite Zhou Chen, and he knew his situation.
Even though he seems to be very respectable now, the work he does there is simply not worth it. If he wants to make a fortune, he simply doesn't have the ability or opportunity.
In the entire compound, the person he admired most was Zhou Chen. He felt that if Zhou Chen was willing to go out with him, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.
"There's no need to make a fortune. I don't have that ambition. I'm a policeman now and I'm satisfied just being able to stay at home with my wife every day. I don't have the energy to go to the south with you."
"Oh, now that you're married, you'll be a good family man. Oh, by the way, I wasn't here when you got married. I'm so sorry that I gave you a red envelope as compensation."
Niu Dali took out a thick red envelope and handed it to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen didn't answer, but pushed back: "It's too much. You also know that I am a public official. It's okay for you to give me ten or eight yuan as a gift. Do you want me to make a mistake by giving you so much?"
Niu Dali looked surprised: "Ah, is there any other way to say this? What I gave you is a wedding red envelope, and this is not acceptable?"
"It really can't be done, Dali, I accept your wishes, so I really don't need the red envelope."
Under Zhou Chen's refusal, Niu Dali muttered a few words, and finally could only take back the red envelope, but still said that when his eldest nephew was born, he would definitely give the red envelope.
The ultimate purpose of Niu Dali's return was naturally for Yao Yuling, so after chatting with Zhou Chen for a while, he went to find Yao Yuling again and invited Yao Yuling out for dinner.
Although Niu Dali is a licker, his feelings for Yao Yuling are indeed real, otherwise he would not have only liked her for so many years. In order to impress her, he gave up his iron rice bowl job and ran all the way to the south.
Go to work.
It's a pity that falling flowers have feelings, but flowing water has no intention.
The next day, Niu Dali played host and invited Zhou Chen, Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian, and the foursome from the compound gathered together for a drink again.
At the dinner table, Niu Dali scolded Fang Qiu, bragging about how awesome he was in the Shenzhen market, how much money he made, how much world he had seen, how many high-end restaurants he had been to...
"You should really go and see with me. If we four brothers work together, we will definitely make a fortune."
It's just like Zhou Chen before, Cai Xiaonian and Wang Xin heard how awesome he was, but they didn't have the slightest intention to be tempted.
"I don't want to make a fortune. Now my wife and children are on the hot bed, which is pretty good. I'm very satisfied, but I don't want to bother. What's more, I want to replace my master as the train conductor."
"I'm not interested either. Being a criminal police officer is my dream."
"You three really have no ambition at all."
Niu Dali was very helpless. He couldn't persuade any of the three of them, but he was relieved in his heart.
If Zhou Chen and the others really agree to go to the south with him and find out that he is a swill collector, who knows how they will treat him then.
"It's up to you. I won't say anything anymore. Come and have a drink. Although it's nice there, I don't know anyone there. I don't even have anyone to drink with."
Wang Xin chuckled and said: "Then come back more often, we are all here. As long as you come back, we will definitely drink with you."
"Haha, this is a good brother, come on, do it."
After Niu Dali came back, he made a lot of money and even clamored in the courtyard to replace the pool pipes in the courtyard, connect faucets to every household, etc.
Although many people were very moved and marveled at his generosity, in the end no one agreed.
Neighbors in this era are still very simple. They may also want to install water pipes and pools in their homes, but people who want to spend Niu Dali's money and save face are not willing to do so.
In the end, of course, no one agreed. Wang Yongge and other old people even persuaded him to save money when he had money. Don't think about everyone else and just live your own life well...
Niu Dali didn't stay in the compound for a few days. After saying goodbye to everyone, he went south again.
Niu Dali's return was just a minor episode to the neighbors in the compound, but for some of the younger generation, the south that Niu Dali spoke of seemed to have opened up a new world for them.
If you work hard here for a month, you only get a few dozen yuan, but if you go to Shenzhen City to work for a month, you get hundreds or even thousands. Who would not be tempted by an impetuous young man?
It's just that the heart is full of excitement, but not everyone has Niu Dali's determination to leave his hometown and go to work in a place so far away and unfamiliar with his life.
The new year has arrived again, and this year Peng Mingjie came to Ningyang again to celebrate the New Year. Now that his daughter is about to be born, it is naturally impossible to go to Harbin, so he has to come.
Not long after the Spring Festival, when there were still about ten days before the due date, Peng Yongli suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach. At that time, Zhou Chen happened to be working outside, so there was no time to go home. It was Ma Yan, Dr. Shen, and a group of neighbors who helped.
Sent to the hospital.
After Zhou Chen learned the news, he rushed to the hospital as soon as possible. The wheels of his bicycle were smoking.
He hurried to the hospital and happened to see Cai Xiaonian's daughter-in-law Tang Yanhong who was helping deliver the baby. He learned from her that Peng Yongli was in the delivery room and hurried there.
Outside the delivery room, Ma Yan and Doctor Shen were waiting anxiously.
Seeing Zhou Chen coming, Ma Yan hurriedly called him.
"How long has Lili been in there?"
"It's been almost two hours and I still haven't come out yet."
Zhou Chen looked anxious: "What's going on? Lili's due date should be half a month away, why is she suddenly going to give birth?"
Ma Yan's eyes were also red with anxiety: "I don't know what's going on. When I came back today, I was going to cook for her, but as soon as I entered the house, I saw her sitting on the ground, saying she wanted to pick up something, but she didn't
She noticed that she was sitting on the ground, and then I quickly called Dr. Shen. Dr. Shen said that she was going to give birth, so we immediately sent her to the hospital."
Shen Xiuping consoled her: "Zhou Chen, you don't have to worry too much. We delivered it in time. Lili is in good health and will be fine."
Zhou Chen didn't speak, just nodded.
No matter how much experience he has, it is difficult for him to remain absolutely calm during the process of his woman giving birth to a child for him. Until the dust settles, his heart will always be hanging.
