In March, Ran Qiuye gave birth to a son, named He Tian.
After He Yuzhu learned that he had a son, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He told everyone he met, and even went to Xu Damao's house to tell Xu Damao the "good news" loudly.
Xu Damao was so angry that he almost started a fight with He Yuzhu.
Ran Qiuye stayed in the hospital for one day and was taken home. Ran's mother arrived early in the morning to serve her daughter during confinement and help take care of the child.
After Wang Gang and his wife learned the news, they took their aunt back to the courtyard and gave their nephew a big red envelope.
At this time, He Yuyu was already more than eight months pregnant. Seeing that her due date was more than a month away, Wang Gang did not dare to overwork her.
After Ran's mother moved into the compound, she lived in Mrs. Long's original room. After taking care of her daughter during confinement, she got to know the neighbors in the compound.
It's okay when you don't know it, but it's better not to know it than to know it.
"Daughter, who are your neighbors!" Ran's mother only lived here for a few days, and she had basically seen all kinds of life in the courtyard.
"Mom, don't get in touch with those people in the yard, they are not good people." Ran Qiuye has long recognized the true nature of his neighbors after living here for so many years.
"I'm not going to say, what's going on with the Jia family? The two granddaughters are living like beggars. The grandson is even more sneaky and does everything. There is also the Jia Zhang family. They are all poor people and are still so lazy.
?”
The reason why Ran's mother complained about the Jia family was because Banggeng stole her red eggs.
Originally, after the child was born, Ran's mother cooked a large pot of red eggs according to the rules of her hometown and prepared to distribute them to the neighbors.
Unexpectedly, half of the red eggs were missing before they came out of the pot. Ran's mother thought that a mouse had entered the house.
Later, Sophora japonica and Xiaodang came to apologize, and then Ran's mother realized that the red egg had been stolen by Banggeng.
For this matter, Ran's mother went to see Jia Zhang, but she was beaten back by Jia Zhang.
After all, Ran's mother was a scholar, so she couldn't make any noise compared to the shrew Jia Zhang, and she was quickly defeated.
It was He Yuzhu who came back from get off work and finally persuaded his old mother-in-law to go home.
"No wonder your sister-in-law has to move out two rooms in her house. What kind of neighbors are these?" Ran's mother said with a dark face:
"I heard that there is a person in the yard who is having sex with men. How can such a person still live in the yard!
Your former colleague, Mr. Yan, is also the same. He thinks about taking advantage all day long. He insists that you can marry He Yuzhu because of his guarantee and took away ten eggs."
Ran Qiuye was helpless and said: "These are old neighbors who live in the compound. You should try not to have contact with them."
Ran's mother frowned and said: "I haven't been to the compound much before. I have only been in contact with He Yuzhu's godmother. Originally, I thought his godmother was kind and treated you well. I thought you would be comfortable living here, but I didn't expect it.
This is what it looks like.”
"In this compound, my godmother is the best. She doesn't make a fuss with anyone. She is always willing to help any family who has difficulties. Otherwise, how could He Yuzhu and He Yuyu recognize her as their godmother?" Ran Qiuye said.
"Oh! I think you and I should go home for confinement!" Ran's mother suggested.
Ran's father and Ran's mother were overseas Chinese who had returned to China. Originally, their family had little assets and even moved into a building in the 1950s.
Later, Yaofeng came along, and Ran's father and Ran's mother endured hardship for several years, but recently they were able to recover and the house was returned to them.
"You only have two rooms. I will live there, and Sisi will definitely go there too. Should I leave Yuzhu to live alone in the courtyard?"
Ran's mother was a little confused because the room at home was really not enough.
"Mom, I know you feel sorry for me, but I'm used to living here." Ran Qiuye took her mother's hand and said:
"Besides, Zhuzi has been very good to me in the past few years and has a close relationship with my sister-in-law's family. Those neighbors can just ignore me."
Ran's mother nodded and said, "I know my uncle is good to you. I think your father and I were against your relationship at the beginning. It was really because we looked down upon others."
When Ran's father and Ran's mother were in trouble, He Yuzhu helped out a lot and even found senior leaders to help. Even Wang Gang lent him money to help him with emergencies.
Otherwise, the couple would be fine so quickly.
"By the way, your sister-in-law is about to give birth. Do you need help over there? I heard that there is no one at home with her lover."
"No, godmother has already lived here. She has experience in taking care of Sisi, so it should be fine." Ran Qiuye said.
"Your sister-in-law sent me a lot of good things this time. I want to thank them properly when I get the chance." Ran's mother looked at the gifts piled in the corner of the room and said with emotion.
…………
On April 21, Wang Gang was suddenly woken up from his sleep.
"Brother Gangzi, my stomach hurts." He Yuyu's cry made him sit up immediately.
"Yu Yu, are you okay?"
Wang Gang opened the quilt and took a look and found that the sheets were wet.
"My water broke." He Yuyu said in pain.
Wang Gang immediately jumped out of bed and said, "I'll push the cart over right away and take you to the hospital."
After saying that, Wang Gang didn't even have time to put on his coat, so he hurried out of the house and woke up Li Shufen.
"Godmother, the rain is coming."
As soon as Li Shufen heard this, she quickly came out to take care of He Yuyu. Wang Gang pushed the cart that had been prepared to the door, spread a layer of quilt on it, and then together with Li Shufen, he put his wife on the cart.
The hospital was not too far away. Wang Gang carefully pushed the trolley to the hospital in ten minutes, and then He Yuyu was taken to the delivery room.
Wang Gang and Li Shufen stood outside the delivery room, waiting anxiously.
Giving birth to a child is a hellish experience for a woman. Wang Gang stood outside and heard He Yuyu's screams. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth.
He Yuyu's screams continued for two hours, and Wang Gang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, fearing that something might happen to him.
In order for the child to be born smoothly, Wang Gang always took He Yuyu out for walks and exercise during these months of pregnancy.
But who can say for sure when it comes to accidents?
Three hours later, He Yuyu's voice suddenly disappeared, followed by a loud cry of a baby.
Wang Gang suddenly stood on the spot, looking straight at the door of the delivery room.
The door was opened from the inside, and a nurse came out, holding a list and calling out: "Who are He Yuyu's family members?"
Wang Gang's whole body shook violently, and he rushed over and said, "I am, I am."
"He Yuyu was born, weighing seven pounds and seven taels, and he is a big fat boy." The nurse said with a smile.
"Where is my wife? Is she okay?" Wang Gang asked hurriedly.
The nurse looked at Wang Gang with some surprise. When children are born these days, most husbands care about the children, especially the sons, and few care about the mother.
"Don't worry, mother and child are safe. The child and mother will be pushed out after a while, and you can send them to the ward."
Wang Gang said anxiously: "Why not push it out now?"
The nurse explained patiently: "The baby is covered in mucus after birth and needs to be cleaned up. Pregnant women use too much physical energy and need to be observed to make sure everything is fine before they can be pushed out of the delivery room. Just wait patiently."
After saying that, the nurse returned to the delivery room.
After Wang Gang and Li Shufen waited anxiously for half an hour, the door to the delivery room was opened again, and He Yuyu was pushed out, with a baby wrapped next to her.
Wang Gang rushed to He Yuyu's side and said affectionately: "Honey, thank you for your hard work."
He Yuyu looked pale and his hair was wet with sweat. He lay weakly on the bed and said, "Brother Gangzi, look, this is our son."
Wang Gang then turned his attention to the baby next to him.
