The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 493 Li Aiguo is extravagant and wasteful, Yi Zhonghai is afraid to complain, and Liang Ladi has a difficult childbirth
Seeing several discarded umbrellas placed at the entrance of Li Ai's country, the residents in the compound also felt distressed.

The price of umbrellas these days is as high as 8 cents per piece.

Many people are reluctant to spend this money and can only wear bamboo hats and raincoats when traveling on rainy days.

Yan Bugui came after getting the news.

Looking at the broken umbrella lying on the ground, his little eyes wandered around.

What a good umbrella. Although it has been cut a little, I can find a few sticks for the third aunt to sew it up and it can still keep out the rain.

"Patriot, so many broken umbrellas piled up here are really an eyesore. How about I put some effort into helping you throw them away?"

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and no one knows who is who.

Li Aiguo said: "No, third uncle, I will take these scraps back to the locomotive depot later."

"Hey, your locomotive department family has a big business, but you still care about something like this."

When Jia Zhang heard this, her nose almost turned crooked with anger.

"Mom, I'm going right away."

When Jia Zhang heard Bai Mian, her eyes lit up, and she asked Qin Huairu to steam Bai Mian buns for her.

"How about I tell you that you were right in choosing to marry me."

After hearing this, she became furious and shouted at Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, do you still have Li Aiguo in your heart?

Being stunned speechless by Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "That's just your flirting! My wife is old, how could she notice her."

"It's not like you don't know Li Aiguo's methods. Mom, don't mess with him anymore, okay?"

Jia Dongxu became angry at this time. Jia Zhang's stock price was also rising now, and he took the opportunity to take advantage of Qin Huairu.

"Dongxu, Li Aiguo bought more than a dozen umbrellas and dismantled them for fun. It's such a waste. You can go to the uncle and report this matter."

At this time, her nose suddenly twitched: "Who is this? Making mutton soup and steaming white rice, you can't survive?"

After returning home, he told Qin Huairu about it.

Hiding behind the Crescent Gate, Jia Zhang also saw the umbrellas stacked in front of Li's house.

As a result, people eat bananas as food.

Okay, now hurry up and go to someone else’s house and warm their bed!
Anyway, Li Aiguo is a big train driver. Now that he is capable, he doesn't mind marrying a younger one. "

Jia Dongxu walked in from outside humming a tune.

"Dongxu, please say something!"

"Qin Huairu, what happened this time is obviously Li Aiguo's extravagance and waste, and it should be reported to the uncle. But you stopped me instead. Are you still thinking about Li Aiguo?"

At this moment.

"Dongxu, Li Aiguo and his wife bought more than a dozen umbrellas and were tearing them apart for fun. Go tell the elder and accuse them of extravagance and waste."

He barely suppressed his emotions and looked at his mother-in-law: "How can any in-laws hold a toilet bowl for their daughter-in-law? You've been following me around all day. When have you ever seen me say a word to Li Aiguo?"

Facing this unreasonable old woman, Qin Huairu didn't know what to say for a while.

Jia Dongxu frowned when he heard this, went to the door and smelled it, his face suddenly darkened.

But Qin Huairu was still a little touched when she saw that Jia Dongxu finally knew how to care about her mother's family.

"He came here from Li Ai's country. This guy is deliberately putting eye drops on me."

He had to find someone to find out about the girl.

Qin Huairu repeatedly gave way to Li Aiguo, and Jia Zhang had been holding back her anger since yesterday.

Recently, Yan Jiecheng fell in love with a girl named Yu Li.

"Dongxu, my father and my mother are both grateful to you."

Qin Huairu couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she smelled the fragrance. She had never eaten mutton since marrying into the Jia family.

Jia Dongxu sat on the chair and waited for Qin Huairu to pour him some tea. After taking a few sips, he acted like a man of the house.

He planned to buy white flour steamed buns again, and now they were eating rice and mutton soup.

The third uncle sighed twice. Seeing that Li Aiguo wouldn't let go, and knowing that he couldn't take advantage, he could only go back with his hands behind his back.

Jia Dongxu was originally unwilling (dare not) to embarrass Li Aiguo, but thinking of the humiliation he suffered yesterday, he stood up bravely.

Control blood pressure. Qin Huairu believes that her parents will definitely not suffer from high blood pressure if they eat glutinous rice bran.

Qin Huairu quickly stepped forward and took his arm: "Dongxu, we have only had a stable life for a few days, so don't provoke Li Aiguo."

Jia Dongxu sat on the chair, put down the enamel jar, and smiled proudly: "If you stay in the village, you probably won't be able to drink banana water in your life. I'll buy a few more kilograms of white flour in a few days."

small
Qin Huairu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, tears almost falling out of her eyes.

Jia Zhang also felt that Li Aiguo was too bullying, and there was a hint of sinisterness in the corner of his mouth.

As soon as you enter the house.

Jia Dongxu finally won a game of cards and spent a lot of money to buy bananas, intending to show off.

"Qin Huairu, did you send the banana peel home? That thing is a good thing! Today I heard from Dr. Liu from the medical office of the steel rolling mill that boiling bananas in water can control blood pressure."

Seeing that Jia Zhang was unreasonable, Qin Huairu could only shake Jia Dongxu's arm and ask for help.

Jia Dongxu had a grudge because of the past.

Moreover, the Jia Zhang family was also involved, so I didn't dare or didn't want to take care of it.

"I'll go tell the uncle."

Jia Dongxu shook off Qin Huairu's hand and left the house with his hands behind his back.

Looking at Jia Dongxu's back, Qin Huairu felt a burst of pain in her heart.

It would be great if I didn't change my mind back then.

*****
"Dongxu is here, sit down quickly."

After eating bananas, Yi Zhonghai saw that Jia Dongxu liked Jia Dongxu more and more. When he saw him coming to the door, he poured tea himself.

Jia Dongxu took a sip of tea and told the story about Li Aiguo tearing off the umbrella.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai frowned and tapped his fingers on the table, making a thumping sound.

After hesitating for a long time, Yi Zhonghai said slowly:

"Dongxu, do you still remember what happened last time when Li Aiguo fried rice dumplings? Your mother was severely punished for spreading rumors about others. If she does it again..."

"Master, my mother really underestimated Li Aiguo that time. I didn't expect that boy to make instant noodles."

Jia Dongxu panicked when he heard this. He put down the enamel jar and said, "But this time things are different from Sanzi. What can the umbrella cover be used for? Canopy cloth?"

"that's true"

Yi Zhonghai racked his brains and couldn't figure out what Li Aiguo could do with umbrella noodles.

However, for the sake of caution, he decided to proceed with caution.

"Dongxu, it's better not to report this matter to the superiors yet. We are all neighbors in the same compound. Doing so will hinder unity."

"I'm going to ask Li Aiguo first what he wants to do. If he can't explain it, I, the big brother, will naturally exercise my power!"

Jia Dongxu saw that Yi Zhonghai was a little scared and had nothing to do.

After being dealt with so many times, both of them have a little bit of memory.

The two of them left the house and went straight to Li Ai's country.

Arriving at Li Ai's country, Jia Dongxu pushed the door open and entered.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment and followed in.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw the bowls of porcelain rice and the bowls of thick and white mutton soup.

It’s almost impossible to buy mutton in the market these days. Where did Li Aiguo get it?
And this big white rice seems to be Xiaozhan rice, which is 30% more expensive per kilogram than ordinary rice.

Li Aiguo was having a lively meal with Chen Xueru, He Yuyu and Aunt Liu.

As a result, the two of them pushed the door open directly and entered.

Li Aiguo put down the porcelain bowl heavily: "Master, why don't you knock on the door when you come in?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned: "Why knock on the door? We are all neighbors in the same compound. It would be too formal to knock on the door. This way it will appear more intimate."

Li Aiguo said: "Okay, at twelve o'clock in the evening, I will come to your house and make out with you two."

"." Yi Zhonghai's face stiffened: "I'll remember to knock on the door next time."

He knew that Li Aiguo could indeed do this.

Li Aiguo said: "If you have something to say, who would come to someone's door while they are having dinner?"

Yi Zhonghai almost fainted from anger, gritted his teeth and said, "Li Aiguo, as the master of the courtyard, I received a report from the enthusiastic residents. You bought a lot of umbrellas and tore them apart for fun?"

"I'm afraid it's not Jia Dongxu who is an enthusiastic resident, right?" Li Aiguo turned to look at Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu shrank in fear.

But when he thought that Yi Zhonghai was beside him, he suddenly became nervous.

"Li Aiguo, please don't make random guesses."

Yi Zhonghai stood in front of Jia Dongxu: "Li Aiguo, your behavior has been suspected of serious waste. According to the regulations, I can"

"Yi Zhonghai, if you think what I'm doing will have a bad impact, you can go to the street to handle it."

Li Aiguo raised a sneer on his lips and interrupted Yi Zhonghai, "If you have nothing else to do, you can leave now!"

"."

After leaving Li Ai's country, Jia Dongxu looked at the lost Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Master, can we just let it go?"

"Of course not! I am a great man, how can I be intimidated by Li Aiguo?"

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes and said, "Dongxu, my master's legs and feet are not good. Please go to the street office and tell Director Wang about Li Aiguo's extravagant and wasteful behavior."

"Ah, master, I remembered, my mother is still waiting for me to come home for dinner."

Jia Dongxu is not stupid!
Although it was unclear what Li Aiguo needed the umbrella for, if it was of great use, he might be punished again.

He turned around and ran away. Looking at Jia Dongxu's back, Yi Zhonghai felt that the child seemed to be unfilial.

"What a good child he was, but now he has a spoiled child."

Xu Damao and Liu Lan stood at the door, taking in everything.

From the moment Yi Zhonghai brought Jia Dongxu into Li's house to cause trouble, until Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu slipped away in despair, the two of them had been watching from the side.

Liu Lan glared at Xu Damao: "I asked you to go to Li's house to stop Yi Zhonghai just now, but you still didn't go. It's okay now. Such a good opportunity to show good will was lost."

"Who would have thought that a big man like Yi Zhonghai would be scared! I still want to watch the fun!" Xu Damao said with a sneer.

"You, no wonder you can't be a leader in your life."

Liu Lan knew Xu Damao's temperament and entered the house with his hands behind his back.

Xu Damao curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "If you go talk to Deputy Director Li, I might be the section chief now."

Snapped!
Xu Damao got a shoe sole on his forehead.

The two brothers Hai Long and Haitao next to them giggled.

There was joy in the air.

In the evening, light rain began to fall in the sky, and the entire courtyard was shrouded in rain, making the atmosphere extremely quiet.

After eating, He Yuyu and Aunt Liu were sent away under umbrellas, while Chen Xueru was clearing away the dishes in the kitchen.

Li Aiguo walked up behind her softly and stretched out his arms to hug her slender waist: "Miss Chen is very diligent."

"You're back."

Miss Chen looked back at him, with a happy smile on her fair face, and leaned into his arms.

Li Aiguo's heart felt hot and he slowly lowered his head.

"I hate it~" Miss Chen was very harsh in her mouth, but soft in her heart. She turned around to face him and stood on tiptoes to get closer.

ten minutes later.

Only then did Li Aiguo let go of the blushing girl Chen with satisfaction, turned back to his desk, picked up the plan for the automatic umbrella, and began to study it.

Chen Xueru wiped her hands and placed an enamel jar of brown sugar tea on the table.

Li Aiguo raised his head with a strange smile on his face: "You performed very well today. I will reward you with an ice cream cake later."

"It's getting more and more deviant!"

Miss Chen said coquettishly, turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the kitchen, Li Aiguo felt relaxed and lowered his head to pick up the drawings.

The automatic umbrella plan is expected to be finalized after three more revisions.

The umbrella cover has also been made, but the only thing missing is the [three-axis torsion spring machine].

I don’t know if Yang Jizong has done it yet. I should hang up the phone with him tomorrow.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Here we come." Chen Xueru wiped her hands and walked out, opening the door for fear of delaying Li Aiguo's work.

There was a burst of conversation outside.

After a while, Chen Xueru placed a plate of white things in front of Li Aiguo.

"Is this cheese?" Li Aiguo smelled the delicious food and looked at Chen Xueru in surprise, "Where did it come from?"

"Er Mao from the Nan Yi family sent it here." Chen Xueru sat down and said with a smile: "Nan Yi bought a sheep a while ago in order to supplement the nutrition of the pregnant Liang Ladi.

The children of Nanyi's family went to cut grass and feed them every day, and the sheep also lived up to their expectations and produced a lot of milk.

Liang Ladi also gave two bowls to Aunt Liu and me.

As if he couldn't finish it, Nan Yi was also a thoughtful person. He made goat milk into cheese and secretly sold it in the pigeon market. "

Good guy, the descendant of a restaurant has changed his career to raising sheep, which can be regarded as experiencing the life of the working people.

Li Aiguo sighed, picked up the cheese and put it in his mouth.

Well, as expected of a chef, the cheese does taste good.

While I was happily eating cheese, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a figure staggered in.

"Patriotic brother, it's not good, my wife was born prematurely, hurry, hurry!"

Seeing the panic-stricken Nan Yi, Li Aiguo put on his clothes and hurried out of the house.

As soon as she entered the middle courtyard, she heard Liang Ladi's painful moans coming from inside the house.

Beep beep beep.
Li Aiguo blew the whistle.

In a short time, the Nan Tongluo Lane patrol team gathered, and Zhang Gangzhu led a group of patrol team members to Nan Yi's house in the rain.

For a while, there was constant noise in the compound, and the residents were also alarmed.

The first aunt, the second aunt, the third aunt, as well as seven or eight old ladies and young wives all crowded into the house.

Aunt Liu, who had been a stable woman before, walked to the bed to check on Liang Ladi's condition.

A group of men could only wait outside the door.

These days, a woman giving birth is just like a sow giving birth to piglets. Generally speaking, there is no big problem.

For example, when Zhang Gangzhu's mother gave birth to him, she was still picking wild vegetables in the fields in the countryside.

Only when I saw the baby falling did I know I had given birth.

She picked up the sickle and cut the umbilical cord, put Zhang Gangzhu in the basket, picked half the basket of wild vegetables, and then returned home with Zhang Gangzhu and the wild vegetables.

It's not that his mother is arrogant, but without this half basket of wild vegetables, the family will be hungry.

The preciousness of food in this era is unimaginable to future generations.

If you drive over food crops on purpose, you might get beaten half to death.

Far away.

His gaze returned to the door of Nan Yi’s house.

The rain became lighter and heavier, and the raindrops hit the windows, making a dense knocking sound. Gradually, the sound became like a drum, getting faster and stronger.

On such a night, the world becomes blurry, with only the sound of rain, thunder, wind, and painful moans coming from the house.

Dozens of people were waiting outside Nan Yi's house, and no one wanted to leave because of the rain.

Yi Zhonghai got the news and came over. He stood on tiptoe and took a look inside. Feeling that something was serious, he quietly stood in the corner.

Hearing the painful moans in the room getting faster and faster, Li Aiguo felt something was wrong.

"Maybe he has to be sent to the hospital, Gangzhu, get Xiao Liu's flatbed truck right away."

Zhang Gangzhu agreed and was about to leave when Aunt Liu walked out of the house with blood on her hands.

Nan Yi was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Aunt Liu, how is my wife?"

"The baby is having a difficult delivery and there are signs of heavy bleeding. I think he should be sent to a big hospital."

This was the first time Aunt Liu had seen such a dangerous scene. She frowned and asked, "Nanyi, this is Liang Ladi's fifth pregnancy. This girl is in good health. Shouldn't it be difficult to give birth?"

"It's all because of that sheep. Just now Ladi went to feed the sheep, and the sheep was frightened and was pushed in the stomach."

Mentioning this matter, Nan Yi looked regretful and wanted Luo Liba to continue talking, but Li Aiguo stopped him.

"What are you talking about now? Send him to the hospital quickly."

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Nan Yi took several old ladies and tried to find a door panel to carry Liang Ladi to the hospital, but was stopped by Aunt Liu.

She looked up at the raindrops forming a line outside and said:
"It's raining harder and harder outside, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger. It's at least ten miles from our place to Tuanjiehu Hospital. Even if we cover ourselves with a quilt, we can't stop the rain.

When a woman is giving birth, the most taboo thing is to catch a cold. In addition, Liang Ladi also showed signs of heavy bleeding. She was afraid that she would not be able to survive before she was sent to the hospital. "

When Liang Ladi, who was lying on the bed, heard this, her originally pale face turned colorless.

"What can we do?"

Nan Yi panicked, his heart clenched tightly with fear.

Nan Yi originally looked down upon Liang Ladi.

This woman was extremely rude, uneducated, and had three children. She was far inferior to Ding Qiunan from the neighborhood infirmary.

But after getting married, Nan Yi discovered Liang Ladi's benefits.

She is kind-hearted, knows how to care for men, and knows how to feel cold and hot. When Nan Yi thought that she might lose Liang Ladi, she felt that her heart was torn into pieces.

He knelt weakly on the cold ground, grabbed Liang Ladi's arm, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Ladi, I don't want you to have children anymore. I will never raise sheep again, okay!"

Da Mao, Er Mao, San Mao and Xiu'er were all pale with fright, kneeling on the ground and crying loudly.

"Mom, we won't let you die. If you die, we will become children without a mother. Mother, mother."

The corners of Liang Ladi's chapped mouth trembled twice, and she raised her head to look at the children, with a trace of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

She looked at the children, then turned to look at Nan Yi.

"Nanyi, I always wanted my children to change their surname to Nan before, but you didn't agree. I might not be able to survive this time, can you promise me?"

Tears fell from his eyes. Nan Yi suppressed his grief and nodded heavily: "La Di, they will be called Nan Damao, Nan Ermao, Nan Sanmao and Nan Xiuer from now on!"

This scene touched the tenderness of everyone in the room, and several old ladies turned their heads and wiped away tears.

It's so pitiful. If Liang Ladi had three children, how would Nan Yi live?

It’s just that God is going to rain, and there’s nothing we can do.

Generally speaking, at this time, the steward needs to come forward.

The residents all turned their attention to the three stewards.
