Before he could walk out of the living room, Li Qin had already walked to the door of the living room carrying a grate of large buns.
"Xiao Chu, open the door curtain and I'll give you some buns that your brother-in-law just bought."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Hei rushed over and opened the door curtain.
"Hey, I don't have the same buns as you. If you want to eat them, let your master make them for you."
Li Qin said as she walked in holding the grate.
Ding Qiunan had already walked over and took the thing from her sister's hand.
"Qiu Nan, how was the child last night?"
"It's okay. I had a bit of a fuss at one or two o'clock. The rest of the time, I'm pretty good. I go to bed when I'm full. But Yueyue's milk may not be enough. I'll ask Wenxuan to prescribe some medicine for her later."
"How can that child be so skinny? It would be great to have one."
"Sister, this has nothing to do with fatness or thinness." Li Chu grabbed a bun from the grate, took a bite, and said vaguely.
"What do you know, why it doesn't matter much. I have been working in the street office for so many years, and I have seen so many..." Li Qin just said a few words and realized what her brother did, but she still said unconvinced:
"Humph, anyway, people who are too thin tend to have less milk."
Li Chu chuckled and did not continue to argue. He lowered his head and began to eat the buns.
At this time, Li Qin glanced at her siblings and said with some confusion: "That's right. Qiunan was quite thin at that time, but both children couldn't finish eating. It seems that the same is true for Jia Yuan."
"Sister, this is all due to the body and it's not a big deal. Most mothers will have enough milk after taking two doses of medicine."
Regarding this, this is his specialty, so Li Qin stopped dwelling on this issue and asked instead: "Xiao Chu, I saw Old Man Cao coming to see you two days ago. What was he doing?"
"I asked Master Cao to find me some books on ceramics. I'm ready to read them if I have nothing to do."
"Why are you still interested in that thing?"
"Sister, let me tell you, those things are valuable."
When this was mentioned, Ding Qiunan, who was already a little sleepy, suddenly became energetic.
The little speaker kept talking, which made Li Qin stunned for a while.
"What's worth that much? Isn't that thing made of clay?"
"That's different. I always thought how much those rags could be sold for, but this time it really opened my eyes. When Master Cao sent him the book that day, he said that the buyer would be willing to pay 120,000 yuan."
"That...that broken bowl in the study?" Li Qin's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief.
She had also seen the bowl on the bookshelf, but she didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that her brother had put it there just to look good. Now that she heard that it was worth so much money, she was almost embarrassed to say so.
"Well, sister, how about it, do you still think it's junk?"
"How can it be worth so much money? Are these people crazy? They spend so much money on something that they shouldn't eat or drink."
"Who knows, I just want to do it myself."
"It's crazy, it's really crazy. Now that life has just passed, these people are taking money as money." Li Qin shook her head and muttered.
"That's not right. Where did they get so much money? I saw in the newspapers that there were advertisements about households worth ten thousand yuan. Since there are so few households worth ten thousand yuan, how come there are still people who can afford so much money just by buying a broken bowl?"
"Sister, the propaganda in the newspaper cannot be said to be false, it can only be said to be incomplete. There are many people who are unwilling to publicize the money they have earned. You are just like those backpackers, whether they are from the north or the south.
In fact, many people are very rich, but you can’t tell it, right?”
"Well, what you said is indeed correct." Li Qin nodded with deep sympathy.
"You know the old man from the machinery factory in the third alley behind us?"
"Yeah, I know."
"Their third son hasn't been able to work since he came back from the countryside, so he went south with others. Last year he bought a big color TV for his family. That guy almost made his two sisters-in-law jealous to death."
Li Chu and Ding Qiunan both knew what Li Qin was talking about. Old Li Tou had three sons in total. The eldest and second son took over from their parents and entered the factory respectively, and they also got married early.
Only the third child couldn't find a job after he came back. He ate and slept at home every day. Without a job, it was impossible to find a partner. He just stayed at home doing nothing for several years. The two sisters-in-law treated him badly.
I don't want to see him anyway.
Last year, Laosan San went to the south with a friend who came back from the countryside. This time he found a way out. He got a big color TV for his family in just one year. Now he was very proud.
The matchmakers who had been hiding from their mothers before were now starting to visit their homes.
"Sister, don't just look at it, eat it too."
"You guys eat quickly, I just ate it at home, eh? Where is Wen Hui? She's not up yet?"
"Maybe she hasn't gotten up yet. She has been running back and forth during this period. She slept late last night. She is probably tired."
"You two eat, I'll call her, I have to go to work later, I need to have breakfast."
After saying that, Li Qin stood up and walked out.
When they reached the door, she turned around and asked: "Xiao Chu, are all antiques valuable?"
"That's not necessarily the case. You still have to look at things. There are quite a few doorways there. What's wrong, sister?"
"Oh, it's okay, I'll just ask."
…
After breakfast, Li Chu took a car to the hospital to ask for leave for his wife and son.
After a night of fermentation, everyone knew that he had a grandson. From the moment he entered the hospital gate, people who said congratulations to him did not stop.
He originally planned to go to work in the morning, but seeing this situation, he decided to go home. Duan Jianing and Liu Ziqiang also came over in his car.
Even after returning home, there was no peace. People kept coming to offer gifts. When it got dark and no one came anymore, they looked at the piles of milk powder and malted milk.
Dazed.
Oh, and there are children's clothes.
Ding Qiunan pointed to the clothes on the cabinet and said, "Our stinky baby hasn't had to buy clothes for several years."
The child’s nickname is Stinky Bao. As for the big name, I haven’t decided yet.
"It's easy to wear clothes, but when do you have to drink these milk powder and malted milk?" Dad Ding picked up a bag of milk powder and looked at it.
"Dad, you can take some over later and make some in the morning to save yourself the trouble of cooking porridge."
"We don't want it." Dad Ding shook his head and put the milk powder in his hand back on the table.
"You and my sister will take some back. This thing has a shelf life. If you put it here and can't drink it, wouldn't it be a waste?"
"Old man, just take it if you are told. It's so much nonsense."
Yes, as soon as Ding’s mother said something, Ding’s father immediately stopped refuting.
