While eating, Ding Jianguo emerged from nowhere with a bunch of candied haws in his hand. Ding's mother knew at a glance that this must be the new year's money from Li Chu.
However, Ding's mother didn't say anything now. She just glanced at Ding Jianguo with deep meaning and greeted him to eat.
Ding Jianguo was struck by his mother's look and felt the hairs on his body stand on end. He shouted in his heart, "What a mistake. I should have eaten outside and then come back. I shouldn't have taken it back. Oh, the little money I have left."
The money will leave me soon." Looking at the candied haws in his hand, he took a bite of it sadly.
Li Chu has quit smoking and drinking for two days. He feels nothing else except that he feels that his eating speed has become faster. Today, Li Chu did not drink, and Ding’s father stopped drinking. Everyone drank soda, and everyone used the drinks as alcohol.
I had a drink and started eating.
After eating, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan accompanied the two elders again and sat there chatting for a while before getting ready to leave.
Before leaving, Ding Ma gave Li Chu all the sesame she had marinated today. When she was eating just now, Ding Ma noticed that Li Chu preferred to eat her own sesame, so she gave the rest to Li Chu.
The son-in-law put it on.
Li Chu was not polite to his mother-in-law. Ding Ma gave it to him and Li Chu took it. He even shouted that next time he would bring some sesame water and ask Ding Ma to marinate it all for him. He was such an invisible flatterer.
, which made Ding Ma smile happily.
At the entrance of the courtyard, after watching Li Chu and Ding Qiunan walk away, Ding's mother's face, which was still smiling, immediately darkened. She stretched out her hand and pinched Ding Jianguo's ears, and walked home.
Ding Jianguo was grabbed by his ear by his mother and shouted: "Mom, it hurts, it hurts, please be gentle."
After entering the house, Ding's mother closed the door, and even Ding's father was locked out. Ding's father stood outside the door and was about to reach out to knock on the door. After thinking about it, he shook his head and went out for a walk with his hands behind his back.
When Dad Ding reached the entrance of the courtyard, he vaguely heard the miserable screams coming from the house, and not only quickened his pace.
On the way back, Ding Qiunan sat on the back seat of the bicycle when he went out, with his head leaning on Li Chu's back. After walking for a while, Ding Qiunan saw that there were not many people on the road, so he asked Li Chu to stop, and then she
Jumped out of the back seat.
"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" Li Chu asked as he looked at Ding Qiunan who got out of the back seat.
"It's not uncomfortable. I just want to sit here." Ding Qiunan pointed to the front bumper of the bicycle.
"Why do you want to sit in the front? It's so uncomfortable to sit here." Although my wife's hardware facilities are better, sitting on the front bumper is still awkward.
"Um... no, I just want to sit in the front." Ding Qiunan took Li Chu's arm and started acting coquettishly.
Li Chu felt that his bones were lightened by Miss Ding's coquettishness, and he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Ding Qiunan happily sat on it. Li Chu saw that the girl had sat down, then stepped on the pedal and continued to set off.
When the car started to leave, the girl moved back slightly and leaned against Li Chu's chest.
Li Chu lowered his head and kissed his wife's head, and asked: "Daughter-in-law, why do you want to sit in the front today?"
Ding Qiunan did not answer his question, but rubbed Li Chu's chin with his hooded head, and then said: "Li Chu, thank you."
"Okay, why do you want to thank me?"
"Thank you for doing so much for me."
"Hey, what's the big deal? We are a couple. Your parents are my parents. Isn't it normal for me to come back and see and get something for them? There is no need to say thank you between the two of us."
Li Chu said nonchalantly.
Ding Qiunan tilted her head back and looked at Li Chu from bottom to top. When she saw Li Chu looking down at her, she smiled at Li Chu.
Li Chu saw that there was no one nearby, so he bent down slightly, kissed the girl on the forehead, and quickly straightened up.
After walking for a while, the girl asked to sit back again. After coming down from the front, she unconsciously rubbed her buttocks with her hands, which was indeed a bit uncomfortable.
As soon as he turned into the alley, Li Chu saw He Yuyu playing alone at the entrance of the courtyard. As he walked closer, He Yuyu also noticed Li Chu, raised his hand and waved loudly.
Shouting: "Brother Xiao Chu, Brother Chu Xiao..."
Li Chuqi stopped in front of her and asked, "What's wrong with the rain?" Ding Qiunan also got off the back seat and walked to the front.
He Yuyu said happily: "Brother Chu, Sister Qiunan, you are finally back. Let me tell you, my aunt has given birth to a big fat boy."
Upon hearing this, Ding Qiunan stepped forward and took He Yuyu's hand: "When was it born?"
"Well...just a little more."
Ding Qiunan wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Li Chu: "Okay, while it's still early, let's go to the hospital and have a look. We can ask you what you want to ask when the time comes. If we delay the meeting, we won't be able to go today."
He Yuyu pulled Ding Qiunan and left: "Come on, Sister Qiunan, let's walk over there."
Miss Xiao Ding looked back at her husband, and Li Chu nodded at her: "Go ahead, you two go ahead, and I'll go back and get something."
Ding Qiunan took off his coat and handed it to Li Chu: "Take your coat back, it's a bit hot while walking." Then he followed He Yuyu and the other two.
Li Chu took his coat and pushed his bicycle into the yard.
I entered the house and put away the marinated water I got from my mother-in-law. I originally wanted to take a bottle of malted milk to the uncle, but after thinking about it I decided not to take it. I might as well wait until they come back to give it to me. I turned around and wrapped some brown sugar at home.
, let the uncle drink it for the aunt. It is better for the mother to drink brown sugar water.
After installing it, he went out. Xiao Hei originally wanted to follow him out, but he drove him back because he couldn't take him to the hospital.
After walking to the hospital, and arriving at the obstetrics and gynecology department, Li Chu went to the duty room first, said hello to the doctor on duty, and inquired about the condition of the aunt. He heard that everything was relatively good, but the mother was weak. Li Chu
Chu felt relieved, left two candies for her and went to the ward.
The ward was at the very back. When I walked closer, I saw several men in the hospital standing smoking in the corner.
Li Chu noticed that Xu Damao had also come over. It was rare to see him and He Yuzhu standing together without choking.
When he came over, several people who were smoking also saw it. Everyone said hello to each other. Yi Zhonghai came over and held Li Chu's hand. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and his lips were trembling.
Li Chu understood Yi Zhonghai's excitement, clapped his hand and said, "Congratulations, sir, you finally got what you wanted. From now on, the burden on your shoulders will be even heavier."
Yi Zhonghai didn't know what to say, so he just repeated: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Xiaochu."
Li Chu smiled, pointed to the ward and said, "Master, let me go in and see the child."
The first man hurriedly opened the door, and Li Chu took a look, oh, there are a lot of people in the ward. Most of the women in the hospital are there, and even the old lady in the backyard is here, sitting on another hospital bed happily.
Look at the aunt.
The first uncle said: "Come on, let's make some room and let Xiao Chu take a look at the child."
Only then did the woman in the room notice someone coming in at the door. When she saw it was Li Chu, she made way for him.
Li Chu walked to the hospital bed and saw Ding Qiunan standing on the other side, looking eagerly at the baby sleeping with the eldest mother, with an obvious look of envy.
