My village can't be like this

Chapter 476 Giving birth

In the evening, Wu Qiuping was preparing dinner in the kitchen, with only Su Shaowen helping.

Zhang An initially wanted to help, but Wu Qiuping called him out and asked him to wait outside with Su Ying.

After the mother-in-law put in a lot of effort, a table of dishes was quickly put away.

"Mom, this is too much. I'm afraid our family won't be able to finish it."

There are not many dishes at all, there are seven or eight of them without soup, which is much richer than when Zhang An was at home.

After all, Wang Fang usually only cooks four or five dishes at home, which is enough for the whole family.

"It's okay, you can eat as much as you can."

In the past, when Zhang An and Su Ying came back, Wu Qiuping would not be like this, but today she was very happy and did everything she had at home.

Because in the past, Su Ying and Zhang An came back often, and basically came to stay for a day every week.

But after Su Ying became pregnant, it was inconvenient to go back and forth on the road, so she rarely came here again.

The last time they both came over was several months ago.

Because Zhang An and Su Ying came over, this deserted home became lively again.

During the meal, Zhang An drank some wine with his father-in-law.

But after having a drink, Su Shaowen didn't dare to drink anymore and put down the glass silently, because Wu Qiuping was looking at him with wide eyes.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang An probably knew what his father-in-law's status was at home.

However, as soon as this episode passed, the family began to chat lively about home affairs again.

The topics of Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen no longer focused on Zhang An and Su Ying as before, but instead revolved around the child who was about to be born in Su Ying's belly.

And when talking about the child, the eyes of the two elders were filled with uncontrollable anticipation. They were also eager for the arrival of their little grandson.

Although they already have an older grandson at home, they can only see him less than a few times throughout the year. Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen have no place to vent their love for each other.

Now, Zhang An and Su Ying's child is about to be born, and it's not very far away. They can go and see it whenever they want.

"Lao Su, after dinner, hurry up and call your colleagues. Xiaoying's time is almost up. It will be too late to prepare before we say goodbye."

Wu Qiuping was talking about preparing the ward. The sooner this matter is settled, the sooner one can feel at ease.

If you don't contact us in advance, you'll be in trouble if there are no beds in the hospital on that day.

"I have contacted him about this a long time ago. He has said that there will be a ward whenever we go. If you are worried, I will call him later."

While Su Shaowen was eating the side dishes, the old man said calmly, not in any hurry.

Zhang An listened for a long time and then realized that there was a colleague in his father-in-law's unit whose wife worked in the People's Hospital.

And as early as a month ago, Su Shaowen and Wu Qiuping started preparing.

After dinner, the sun had just set and it was not dark yet.

Su Ying and Wu Qiuping placed the things they brought in the room, while Zhang An and Su Shaowen chatted in the living room.

Suddenly I heard a chattering sound downstairs, accompanied by a few chirping birds.

"Come on, Xiao An, let's go downstairs to eat."

Su Shaowen stretched his head and looked out of the window, then turned back and said to Zhang An.

Zhang An was very good at it. He knew without even looking at him that the people downstairs were probably the uncles raising birds next door.

Otherwise, my father-in-law wouldn't be so active. He just got a pair of little orioles, so he would naturally take them out to play with.

Although it is already late September and autumn has entered, the autumn tiger is still very powerful.

So after dinner in the evening, the residents in this building like to go to the pavilion downstairs to enjoy the shade.

Of course, most of them are elderly people and children. Young people generally don't go there very much. They either stay at home or go out to play.

Sure enough, as Zhang An expected, after Su Shaowen changed his shoes, he went to bring the birdcage over.

In fact, he wanted to hold it in his hand, but the birdcage Ding Yi found was relatively heavy and it was a bit difficult to hold it with one hand.

After going downstairs, Zhang An saw the old men who raised birds sitting in the pavilion last time.

At this moment, several people were chatting and teasing the little birds in their respective cages.

"Hey, Lao Su is here. You secretly made a pair of them. Let me see what kind of birds they are."

Seeing Su Shaowen coming, several people took the initiative to say hello, because they had already seen the birdcage Su Shaowen was holding in his hand.

"Here, my little son-in-law caught this bird for me in the mountains. Can you take a look at this bird?"

Su Shaowen came down here to show off his little oriole, but now he handed it directly to everyone.

They were not surprised to hear that Zhang An had captured him from the mountains.

Because Zhang An has been coming to deliver things to Su Shaowen's house, and sometimes he would also give things to their neighbors, so they all knew Zhang An.

"Oh, they are a pair of little orioles. One of them is beautiful. They are so beautiful. But unfortunately, these little orioles are too difficult to raise and are not easy to train."

The uncles took a look and saw that the bird in the cage was a little oriole.

It's just that the enthusiasm on his face has faded a bit compared to before.

But this is normal, because the oriole is a very picky bird, so it is not easy to raise it. Moreover, because of its wild temperament, it is difficult to train it, and generally not many people raise it.

"Hehe, then you are wrong. My couple was tamed by Zhang An and they are very obedient. If you don't believe it, just look at it."

After saying that, Su Shaowen made a move towards the two little guys in the cage, and soon the two little guys responded.

And as Su Shaowen changed different movement instructions, the two little guys would either raise their heads and chirp and sing, or they would circle around in the cage, as if they were dancing.

With just a few simple clicks, I was able to attract several old men playing with birds, and at the same time, there were expressions of surprise on their faces.

Because they didn't expect that this so-called wild oriole could be so close to people and so smart.

At the same time, there was also some envy on their faces, knowing that the thrush canaries they had raised for a long time could not do this.

This kind of little guy who is both good-looking, smart and approachable is really very attractive to a bird keeper.

Seeing the looks of several neighbors like this, Su Shaowen felt very happy.

In the past, he was envious of others when he watched others playing with birds. Unexpectedly, it was now someone else's turn to envy him, and the other person was the same person he had envied before.

At this time, Su Shaowen felt quite proud. "Wait a minute, Lao Su, you just said that your little son-in-law caught and tamed these two little orioles for you, so he can tame birds?"

After the uncles' attention was diverted from the two little guys in the cage, they pointed at Zhang An and asked Su Shaowen.

"No, these are just two little birds. Xiao An has three or four goshawks at home, and he has tamed them so that they are obedient."

Showing off a bird is showing off, and showing off a son-in-law is also showing off. Since others took the initiative to offer the opportunity, Su Shaowen would not let it go.

"I didn't expect that even though your son-in-law is young, he can still tame a falcon. This is a rare skill."

When they heard Su Shaowen say that Zhang An also raised a few goshawks, the old men took a deep breath.

Because taming a falcon is much more difficult than taming a bird, and they have seen people who tamed birds, but apart from Zhang An, they have never seen a live falcon.

"Haha, it's common for people in the mountains to let hawks and lackeys go."

Zhang Anke didn't expect that his father-in-law would make several old men admire him so much just by showing off a few words. He could only say haha ​​at the moment.

What's this? He hasn't even used his ultimate move yet.

If he released the two little guys in front of these adults, they would probably be even more surprised.

Because when he was in the space, these two little orioles that he carefully selected always liked to circle around him. If they could stand on his shoulders, they would never fly to other places.

"Well, Zhang An, since you know how to tame birds, why don't you help me tame my pair of thrushes? I've been training them for more than a year, but I still haven't been able to train them successfully. Except for giving some responses when they are hungry, they can't do anything else." I won't pay attention to anyone at all, as long as you agree, I will never lose you."

Suddenly, an old man in the crowd had an idea for Zhang An.

Seeing that Zhang An could tame a wild bird like the oriole so well, he immediately wanted to ask Zhang An to help tame the bird.

"Yes, yes, Zhang An, why don't you help me tame them too? They don't have to be like these two little orioles, as long as they can respond to people simply."

After the first one, there will naturally be a second one. The other uncles who reacted also asked Zhang An to help.

"I'm really sorry, gentlemen. I really don't have time recently. Let's talk about it later when I have the opportunity."

In fact, it was very simple for Zhang An to just tame a few birds, but Su Ying was about to give birth and he didn't want to be distracted by other things.

And after the child is born, he will no longer be distracted, and his mind will definitely be on the child.

"Let's wait until later. It's really inconvenient for Xiao An recently. The baby in Xiaoying's belly is about to be delivered. He definitely doesn't have the heart to do these things."

Seeing several neighbors who wanted to say something else, Su Shaowen also spoke to help Zhang An.

"Oh, this is a great event. Don't forget to give us red eggs when the time comes. If you need any help, just ask. Although we are just a group of old men, we will definitely not refuse if we can help."

As soon as they heard that Su Shaowen said that Su Ying was going to have a baby, everyone's attention immediately shifted from the bird training.

After all, giving birth to a child is a big deal for anyone who puts it in their house. At this time, no one has the time to do anything else. They are people who have been there, so they naturally know this truth.

Later, several people followed Su Shaowen to play with the birds in the pavilion.

It's just that the thrushes and canaries that were favored in the past seem to have been relegated to the cold palace.

Because everyone's hearts are focused on Su Shaowen, the pair of little orioles.

At first, they were just teasing, but later they realized that this pair of little orioles were really cute.

Every time they were teased, it would respond naughtily, which was much more interesting than their own birds.

It wasn't until it got dark and the moon was already hanging in the sky that everyone left the place without feeling satisfied.

Although there were street lights nearby and it was not dark in the pavilion, there were so many mosquitoes outside that they had no choice but to return home quickly due to the mosquitoes' power.

"Hey, you're back. Are you satisfied now?"

When Su Shaowen and Zhang An returned home, Wu Qiuping saw the birdcage in Su Shaowen's hand and choked a few words.

Just now, Su Shaowen was having a heated fight with others downstairs, and she could hear it clearly from upstairs.

But she didn't object, after all, she needed some fun in life.

Especially after Su Ying got married, the family became increasingly deserted.

In the future, with these two birds, they can be happy at home when they come back from get off work.

It's just that because of the habits I've developed over the years, I'm used to bickering at every turn.

In this way, the family of four spent three days warmly. Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo at home would call to inquire about the situation almost every day.

At other times, Zhang An would accompany Su Ying downstairs for a short walk.

On the first day, Su Shaowen told several uncles that the child was about to be born, and soon everyone in the family home knew about it.

People who are familiar with Su Ying's family, especially some aunts, will take the initiative to teach Su Ying some parenting experience after meeting the young couple downstairs.

"Oh, Zhang An, come here quickly, my stomach hurts a little."

On the night of the third day, Wu Qiuping was preparing dinner. Su Shaowen hadn't come back from get off work yet, so Zhang An was helping in the kitchen.

As soon as Zhang An and Wu Qiuping heard Su Ying's voice, they rushed out of the kitchen without even caring about cooking.

"Let's go, Xiao An, Xiao Ying is about to give birth, let's go to the hospital quickly."

Zhang Anzheng was anxious and desperate, but fortunately Wu Qiuping was there. She was someone who had been here before, and she quickly learned about Su Ying's situation.

So Zhang An quickly picked up Su Ying and walked downstairs.

Wu Qiuping rushed behind carrying things that could be used in the hospital. After all, the day was getting closer and they had already started preparing these things.

"Qiuping, Xiaoying is about to give birth. If you need any help, just ask."

When I met neighbors downstairs who were going upstairs, they all quickly made way for Zhang An.

They are not only neighbors, but also colleagues in the same unit, so they are very familiar with each other.

"Our Lao Su hasn't come back from get off work yet. If he comes back later, please tell him that we are going to the hospital first."

Wu Qiuping said to her colleagues in the unit as she went downstairs.

Let them inform Su Shaowen when the time comes, and he can rush to the hospital directly.

Soon, Zhang An drove to the hospital. Because an acquaintance here greeted him in advance, it didn't take long for Su Ying to enter the delivery room.

Taking this time, Zhang An quickly took out his cell phone and called home.
