Downstairs, in the darkness, Xiao Hei's ears twitched, then he stood up, pawed back and forth in his nest a few times in annoyance, then lay down helplessly, and his ears drooped.
Li Chu was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside early in the morning. Before he opened his eyes, he felt his wife moving in his arms. He reached out and patted her body gently a few times. The girl then moved in his arms.
Soothed, he fell asleep again.
After waiting for a while, Li Chu carefully placed his wife's little head on the pillow, then slowly got out of the bed, turned around and tucked her in, and then put on her clothes. He was a bit harsh on his wife last night.
, I don’t know what time she went to bed after struggling, so let her continue to sleep for a while.
When he came to the living room, Xiao Hei just looked up at him in the nest, then got up and turned around in the nest, facing Li Chu with his buttocks, and then lay down again. His heart was extremely broken and passive now.
After listening to the symphony all night, I just slept for two hours, and now I am so sleepy that I just want to sleep.
Li Chu looked at Xiao Hei strangely. He didn't know what happened to this stupid dog. He opened the door. It was just dawn. He walked out of the house, stood at the door and took a deep breath. Well, the air was full of the smell of gunpowder.
.
As soon as he stood at the door, he saw several children running in from outside the courtyard. If he looked carefully, there were 7 or 8 of them, all children from the courtyard. Li Chu thought to himself that these children were really energetic. They were so energetic this early in the morning.
I ran out to play, and then I saw the children running up to me, shouting in unison: "Uncle Li, happy New Year! We wish you a happy New Year." After saying that, they all bowed to Li Chu.
.
"Okay, okay, happy New Year to you guys, get up quickly." Li Chu looked at these children with a smile, and then noticed that these children were looking at him eagerly, and he suddenly reacted,
He took out the change he had exchanged in advance from his pocket and gave each child 1 cent as a new year's gift. "Here you go, go and play."
Several children took the money and shouted together: "Thank you, Uncle Li." Then they ran away.
Li Chu looked at these energetic children and suddenly felt that it would be great to have a child of his own.
He noticed that the Destiny Child was also there. At present, this child seemed to be quite polite. At least he would call him uncle every time he saw him from a distance. He didn't know when this child started to turn black.
.
I was thinking wildly in my mind, so I walked out of the courtyard to solve some personal hygiene problems. When I came back, I saw the third uncle standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
Li Chu stepped forward, cupped his fists and raised his head to the third uncle: "Third uncle, happy new year. I wish you all your wishes will come true and all the best in the new year."
Yan Bugui happily said auspicious words to Li Chu and took out a cigarette and handed it to him. Li Chu didn't take it and said, "Third uncle, I quit smoking. I won't smoke anymore."
The third uncle looked at him in astonishment: "Didn't I see you smoking yesterday? Why did you quit today?"
Li Chu sighed helplessly: "Hey, last night I went to an elder's house and was urged to have a baby, so I quit smoking."
The third uncle had just put the cigarette in his mouth and had not yet lit it. Hearing Li Chu's words, he was stunned: "What does having a baby have to do with smoking?"
Li Chu wanted to explain it to him, but felt that it would not be clear for a while, so he said vaguely: "This is just my personal opinion. I think it is better to quit smoking when you are ready to have children. It doesn't matter. You can smoke yours."
."
Yan Bugui shook his head. He felt that Li Chu was making a fuss out of a molehill, but it was someone else's business after all. He couldn't say anything, so he changed the subject and said, "Xiao Chu, our family just liberated Hedi, come back and tell me about you."
I gave them New Year's money. Several children in the courtyard gave it to them. What you gave is a bit too much. Good guy, you gave me ten cents each."
"Hey, isn't this the Chinese New Year? Several little guys came over to give me New Year greetings, so I just gave some to them. Tu Yi was happy." Li Chu said nonchalantly.
The third uncle opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. You can't say that you gave so much. How should I give it to those children who came to wish me New Year greetings? He could only lower his head and take out the match, light the cigarette and smoke.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai came out, and the three of them bowed to each other again. The first man said to Li Chu: "Xiao Chu, when do you think I will send your aunt to the hospital? I'm a little worried about this.
." Auntie's delivery date was only a few days away, so he was a little anxious.
Li Chu thought for a while: "Master, if you are really worried, you can send the aunt to the hospital today." When a woman gives birth, she doesn't say when she can or cannot give birth. Who knows when the baby will be born?
, Li Chu didn’t dare to tell him to stay at home.
In fact, many women these days give birth at home, with experienced women from the neighborhood coming to help. However, since the eldest mother is old and it is her first child, no one dares to help because they are afraid that something will go wrong.
, and the elder himself was not at ease, so he had already decided to go to the hospital to give birth.
After listening to what Li Chu said, the uncle thought about it and decided to send his wife to the hospital today. She couldn't take care of her at home. When she came out just now, the old lady in the backyard also said that she should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.
"Xiao Chu, aren't you going out today?" Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Chu and asked.
"I will go to my sister's house with my wife in a moment. We spent the first day of the new year at my sister's house." Li Chu knew what the elder meant, and paused for a moment and said: "Master, you can borrow it later.
Just take Auntie there by car, and I’ll go to the hospital to check on you when I come back in the afternoon.”
"Hey, ok, I'll borrow a trolley and I'll send your aunt over there." Yi Zhonghai felt relieved when he heard Li Chu said that he would be there in the afternoon, said hello to the third uncle, and went to borrow the trolley.
.
Yan Bugui looked at the uncle's back: "Lao Yi has settled his worries now."
"The first uncle can only feel relieved when he holds the child in his arms. Third uncle, I'm going back and order some dumplings to eat."
After returning home, Xiao Hei was still lying down in his nest. When he came in, he just raised his eyelids and made no other moves. Li Chu walked to Xiao Hei's nest, took it out and stroked it hard.
A few times, Xiao Hei yelled at him angrily, which startled Li Chu. He was afraid that it would wake up his wife by screaming, so he let it go. Xiao Hei escaped from the clutches and slipped back with his tail between his legs.
Nest.
After listening carefully, there was still no movement upstairs, so he felt relieved and quietly walked up to take a look. Ding Qiunan was sleeping soundly, with a trace of drool hanging from the corner of his mouth. Li Chu looked at his wife and smiled, then went downstairs.
Already.
As soon as he came down, he heard the voice of an old man coming from the yard. He had borrowed a cart. Li Chu thought for a moment. Ding Qiunan might have to sleep for a while before he woke up. He might as well accompany him to the place now.
I wanted to go to the hospital so that I wouldn’t have to run around again in the afternoon. So I took the time to wash up, put my clothes in order, and then went out to my uncle’s house.
