Chapter 116 Xiao Dang is born
Amidst all the turmoil, Xiaodang was born.
It was getting closer for Jia Dongxu to offer sacrifice to heaven. After seeing that Qin Huairu had given birth to a daughter, Jia Zhang's enthusiasm disappeared.
He kept cursing the money-loser and slowly returned to the courtyard.
The poor old lady had to take on the responsibility of taking care of her mother-in-law's beauty, running around everywhere.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai looked at Ge and felt particularly sad. He thought that their family was too lowly.
Not only does he have to take care of the deaf old lady, but now he also has to take care of Qin Huairu.
The mother-in-law who was supposed to be taking care of me went back cursing at me.
It would be good if he had a daughter, wouldn't it be a psychological comfort for him?
Jia Zhang's expression successfully aroused the dissatisfaction of the people in the compound.
Many people have not forgotten the scene when Jia Zhang was beaten up when she scolded He Yushui for paying for the goods.
You have a daughter at home, and you love her so much that you can’t wait to do so. Who would be willing to do that when you scold them?
Although Jia Dongxu was a little disappointed, he was still very happy after all, because she was his daughter.
Although life is hard, after all, children are growing up day by day, right?
There was no way he could change his mother's personality.
He has made a lot of efforts, but it's still the same. What should he do?
Didn’t you see that He Yukai treats his daughter like a baby every day?
It is said that a daughter is a father’s little cotton-padded jacket. Look how well it is said. Thinking of this, I feel a lot better.
When everyone in the courtyard saw Jia Zhang coming back, they were curious and were ready to ask about the situation. Many people were curious about the gender of the baby.
Looking at Jia Zhang's face and the way she was cursing, I knew she had given birth to a daughter.
It is true that Jia Zhang favors boys over girls. In fact, many people have the idea of favoring boys over girls, but none of them are as blatant as Jia Zhang.
Many people are not so demanding of their sons and daughters, after all, they are their own children.
Although the idea of raising children to provide for one's old age is still deeply rooted in people's minds, it has not reached the perverted level of Jia Zhangshi.
He Yukai saw that Jia Zhang was very upset, and he himself wanted to have more daughters.
I have sons one after another, but I only have one daughter.
Seeing how serious the feudal remnants were and thinking of the many tragedies they had caused, He Yukai felt that he should do something.
We can’t let Jia Zhangshi sit idle like that, it’s too unlucky.
Who would be in a good mood if they had to face an old lady who keeps muttering and cursing at people every day when they go in and out of the door?
Besides, isn’t it a good thing to have a new baby in the family?
The masses must be mobilized to reform the Jia Zhang family. He Yukai has had too much free time, and he has become ill from being idle. There is no entertainment activity, so why not do some.
Thinking of this, I felt that it was necessary to make some arrangements. It seems that the Siheyuan Conference has not been held for a long time?
The instructions that the elderly and women also hold up half the sky must be implemented.
He Yukai slowly went to the backyard, ready to have a good chat with the second uncle and let the third uncle play the role of a little teacher.
The siheyuan must be transformed into a harmonious and beautiful one, and the disharmonious factors such as the Jia Zhang family must be eliminated in a timely manner.
He Yukai went to the backyard to find Liu Haizhong to talk about the situation. Yi Zhonghai was not in the courtyard now, but was still in the hospital accompanying his apprentice's wife.
If Yi Zhonghai were here, he might have prevented the Siheyuan Conference from being held.
After all, the Jia family is the only one who will be supported in the old age, so we still have to protect the interests of the Jia family.
Being pulled out for education like this is not in Yi Zhonghai's interest.
"Uncle, are you busy? I'm living a carefree life now, eating scrambled eggs, drinking wine, listening to the radio, it's like a god's life."
He Yukai almost laughed out loud. His wife and baby were having pickled vegetables and fried tofu, and steamed corn bread with corn paste. Liu Haizhong was sitting far away, frying eggs and drinking wine, with a plate of pickled vegetables and three steamed corn bread in front of him.
The key point is that he was so absorbed in listening to the radio, which was about the minutes of a meeting. He Yukai really wanted to ask, "Do you understand that level?" He was so absorbed in listening to it, and even nodded his head in a serious manner.
"Hey, Xiaokai is here, you are a rare guest, it's not often you come to sit here with me.
My dear, please add another egg and chopsticks, Xiaokai and I will have a drink."
Liu Haizhong had long wanted to get in touch with He Yukai, but he never had the chance.
Now that He Yukai has come to visit, how could he not give him a warm welcome?
The He family is in great shape now. I heard that He Yukai, a deputy director, was promoted to the position of director and will be promoted to director soon.
It seems that the He family has two directors, who are high-ranking officials.
For him, having a small official position is enough. If He Yukai can speak for him, then his affairs can be easily accomplished.
"Stop busying yourself, Second Auntie. Let's not drink today. I'll ask Zhuzi to prepare a nice meal for Second Uncle to drink with next time.
The reason I came here today is that Qin Huairu should have given birth to a daughter, which is not a big deal.
The main thing is that Jia Zhang kept cursing and swearing about losing money, which was so annoying to hear.
Isn't this going against the instructions from above? Old people have always said that women hold up half the sky.
What do the majority of women think of Jia Zhang’s behavior?
Now that the uncle is not around, I am thinking that the education and learning I received some time ago were not put into practice.
If the neighborhood office hears this, how will they view our compound?
So, should the second uncle discuss with the third uncle when to hold a general meeting of the whole hospital to correct the problem of gender discrimination?"
He Yukai even found an excuse for Liu Haizhong to avoid being caught.
"Well, what Xiaokai said makes sense. How can we go against what they say?
This is indeed inappropriate. I will go and discuss it with Uncle Three right now.
Let the Third Uncle prepare, let's have a unified mindset in our compound, there must not be any discrimination against women."
Liu Haizhong also understood what he meant in an instant.
"That's right. If Second Uncle wants to make progress, he can't just stay at home and listen to the radio. He must also dare to fight against those people with backward ideas.
As long as ideological transformation is in place, everything will be easy.
The street office and even the steel mill know about it. Now ideological awareness is very important."
He Yukai just wanted to win over Liu Haizhong, and they had already discussed it privately. No one else was interested in the position of manager.
He Yukai thought that everyone was afraid of trouble, but in fact it was his fault. Everyone could see that as long as He Yukai was there, the manager was useless.
"Yes, yes, Xiaokai is right."
Liu Haizhong was completely excited, thinking that He Yukai had come specifically to give him some pointers.
He thought it was not that he didn't have the ability, but that he just hadn't met someone who understood him.
Now he feels that He Yukai is his soulmate and may even become his mentor.
He was determined to get this done and let He Yukai see his abilities.
Liu Haizhong’s biggest wish is to become an official.
It’s not that Liu Haizhong wanted to be an official in the beginning. After his easy life was driven away, the bald people entered the city. Those officials were sitting in their cars and were watched by Liu Haizhong. The people next to him sighed: This is how life should be.
Liu Haizhong happened to hear this and decided to do the same thing himself, so that his life would not be in vain. However, with only primary school education, he was never able to join the ranks of officials.
The fact that he couldn't even get a position as a team leader at the steel rolling mill only intensified his obsession with becoming an official.
When He Yukai saw Liu Haizhong's excited expression, he knew that the matter was settled, so he smiled and left.
If I don't find something for Jia Zhang to do, I'll feel unlucky every time I see that face when I get home from get off work.
Liu Haizhong certainly knew that He Yukai came to add fuel to the fire because he couldn't stand Jia Zhang's scolding of his daughter as a money-losing commodity, but what did that matter?
The fact that someone came to add fuel to the fire shows that he has some status in this compound.
Another thing is that Liu Haizhong thought that this was He Yukai's view of his ability.
As long as it's done this time, if there's a vacancy in the future, he can recommend it to He Yukai, right? This is called mutual benefit.
At this time in the hospital, Qin Huairu felt relieved when she saw Jia Dongxu's expression.
In this era, the idea of favoring boys over girls is not only held by Jia Zhangshi, but also by Qin Huairu.
It's obvious that he dotes on Bang Geng. I can see that Jia Dongxu doesn't show any dissatisfaction on his face, so I breathe a sigh of relief.
Qin Huairu was afraid that his status would decline due to Xiaodang's birth.
Qin Huairu's appearance is very consistent with the aesthetic standards of this era. She is as big as a millstone and good at giving birth, and as big as a car light and has enough food for a baby.
There were people in Qinjia Village who came to propose marriage, but they were all rejected by Qin Huairu.
Didn't she just want to marry into the city? How could she, Qin Huairu, who was so beautiful, stay in the countryside, working hard in the fields?
Now she has adapted to life in the city. If she goes back to the countryside, life would be worse than death.
One is that they can’t bear the hardship of earning work points in the countryside.
Another thing is that I can’t adapt to the life of getting up early and going to bed late.
Although my mother-in-law doesn't work now, she still takes care of the household.
If I do some odd jobs, isn't this the life I've always dreamed of?
Besides, it’s easy for city people to make money. Hasn’t he saved up more than 70 yuan in pocket money?
Next time I go back to my parents’ home, I don’t have to look at my mother-in-law’s face or the faces of my family members.
Buying something nice is also a matter of face, isn't it?
Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu thoughtfully, thinking that it would be great if Qin Huairu could give birth to a child for him.
Although there had been some relatively intimate contacts before, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he thought about this incident. This was an immoral behavior, and Yi Zhonghai was torn between two options.
Although he often told himself that this was his apprentice's wife and he should not have such thoughts about her, he still couldn't help it.
Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai already had an inner demon. Once his thoughts arose, it would be extremely difficult to suppress them.
He was completely obsessed. On the one hand, he thought that the person was his apprentice, and on the other hand, he watched Qin Huairu giving birth to a child like dumplings. He could no longer control himself.
Every time he saw Qin Huairu, such thoughts would come to his mind, even if he tried to suppress them.
During this period of time, I was physically and mentally exhausted from the torture. Two children were fighting in my heart. One said: It is right for you to have a child. You should be firm and you will succeed.
Another one said: "You shameless bastard, that's your apprentice's wife, how could you have such thoughts? You will be struck by lightning."
Yi Zhonghai's expression kept changing from gloomy to bright. He quickly found an excuse to walk out of the ward, took out a cigarette and started smoking to ease his ups and downs in mood.
After calming down, I found that the thoughts that I had had for a long time were not wrong. Even if there were any mistakes, they were God's fault.
It was because he didn't give me a child that he was worrying every day. Would it be the same if I had a child?
Who knows the pain in his heart?
Regardless of Yi Zhonghai's conflicted mood, Jia Dongxu was in very good condition.
Although he was tortured by life, he felt refreshed instantly when he saw his daughter and the son brought back by his mother. That’s how life is.
The aunt looked at Xiaodang with envy on her face, wishing she had a child.
You, Jia Zhang, despise this child, but I don’t. It’s just that I’m unlucky and don’t have such an opportunity.
Not to mention the complicated thoughts of everyone in the ward, I am going to be discharged from the hospital today. If I give birth at this time, I will find a midwife to deliver the baby.
The only people who can go to the hospital, apart from those with good family conditions, are those who have encountered unexpected situations.
Besides, even if it’s just to save money, you should still go home and recuperate after giving birth.
But you can't stay in the hospital all the time. This is not the infirmary in the factory. If it were the infirmary, some of the expenses could be reimbursed.
The conditions at home are not good to begin with, yet we keep spending money here.
Now that the situation has stabilized, I'll go back quickly to get the money for hospitalization and buy some meat or something. Isn't it the best to have some nourishment?
When Liu Haizhong found Yan Bugui and talked to him about it, Yan Bugui's eyes lit up.
He didn't know how to get back at the person who extorted half a pound of corn flour from him last year.
It's time to let Jia Zhang know that it's not so easy to take advantage of everyone.
If I don't let you know how powerful he is this time, he might do the same thing again next time and sit at his doorstep and start howling like a ghost.
He was a scholar, and when he met a shrew like Jia Zhang, it was like a scholar meeting a soldier and he couldn't explain himself clearly.
I used my advantage as a scholar to let you know how powerful your third uncle is, and you agreed immediately.
Now that Yi Zhonghai is not around, it is a good opportunity to educate Jia Zhang properly.
No one is causing trouble, you are not obedient? Okay, we will let the whole compound vote by raising hands.
I sent you to the countryside, and it was quiet for a long time after I sent you back last time.
Now that the incident is over, does Jia Zhang feel that she can do it again?
He even wants to take advantage of Yan Bugui. Is it so easy to take advantage of Yan Bugui?
How could a person who is good at calculating swallow the bitter fruit so easily?
Besides, when you, Jia Zhang, came back, you kept talking about the money-losing goods, but many people heard it and the evidence is solid.
My daughter is so good. Look how obedient she is. You forgot about Lou Xiao'e so quickly, right?
You don't want to listen to the instructions from your superiors, right?
Let me show you how powerful intellectuals are. Since ancient times, intellectuals have killed people without using knives.
Although we don't do such vulgar things as physical violence, scholars are people whose words are as sharp as knives.
Let me show you that I, Yan Bugui, am someone that you, the Jia Zhang family, cannot afford to offend.
When it comes to understanding policies, apart from Cai Wenqing, he is the one who has the best grasp of policies in this compound.
Thanks to Lou Xiao'e, only he knew how hard he studied during that period.
Jia Zhang, just wait, Teacher Yan will teach you well!
Yan Bugui prepared his lessons carefully, taking into account all possible reactions of Jia Zhang and making ready responses so that Jia Zhang would have no way to refute. His solid theoretical foundation gave Yan Bugui more confidence.
