The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 772 Liu Lan gave birth prematurely, Xu Hua

The higher-ups actively expanded channels for purchasing food, and reached a food offensive and defensive alliance with the Maple Leaf family and the Kangaroo family.

Yang Jizon worked tirelessly and led large cargo ships to frequently travel across the ocean. He transferred grain from the Maple Leaf Country five times and purchased grain from the Kangaroo Country six times.

As cargo ships loaded with grain slowly docked, the originally tense food situation in the capital was gradually effectively alleviated.

At the entrance of the grain station, there was an unprecedented lively scene of selling grain all day long.

The bustling crowd had a look of contentment on their faces.

Behind this is the result of the hard work and efforts of many people who have contributed silently.

They do not care about their personal gains and losses and are not afraid of the hardships of the ocean voyage, simply because they know that this is their responsibility and obligation as Chinese citizens.

At the same time, under the promotion of Li Aiguo, the Red Star Umbrella Factory successfully trial-produced the first batch of iron-shell frogs, which are about to be put on the market.

Li Aiguo has been living a very happy life these days.

During the day, I work in the locomotive depot, and in my free time, I study baby carriages and keep in touch with the chemical plant.

It happened to be a rest day.

The early morning sun filled the courtyard. After breakfast, Li Aiguo concentrated on fiddling with the frame of the baby carriage at the door.

Although a stroller may seem simple in structure, it is not easy to make it both light and sturdy.

After careful consideration, Li Aiguo chose aluminum alloy material which was extremely scarce at the time and could only be produced in the Northeast Aluminum Alloy Processing Plant.

In the reflection of the sunlight, the shiny aluminum alloy exudes a charming metallic luster, attracting residents passing by in the compound to stop and watch.

Liu Haizhong walked over and asked with a smile, "Aiguo, this is aluminum alloy, right? It's a pity to make it into a chair."

Ever since Yi Zhonghai failed to be promoted to eighth-level worker and accidentally offended Deputy Factory Director Li, Liu Haizhong keenly sensed the changes in the situation and began to deliberately build a closer relationship with Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo smiled and said, "I'm going to make a stroller for the child."

The corners of "Baby Carriage"'s mouth twitched twice.

Such good aluminum alloy is a high-quality raw material for making lunch boxes, and now it can be made into stools.

He saw Li Aiguo fiddled with it for a few times but failed to insert the aluminum tube, so he walked over and started working directly.

"I love my country and I am strong."

"Thank you!"

Li Aiguo didn't hesitate and handed the pipe to Liu Haizhong.

As a sixth-level blacksmith, Liu Haizhong's strength and accuracy far exceed those of ordinary people.

He just exerted a little force and the pipes were connected accurately.

“This is really a good thing!”

Yi Zhonghai has been watching this place from home.

Seeing Liu Haizhong and Li Aiguo together, he suddenly felt unhappy.

"This Old Liu is a traitor. If he hadn't been a fence-sitter, Li Aiguo wouldn't have been able to gain the upper hand in the compound."

"Old Yi, we finally have some peace and stability, please stop causing trouble."

When the aunt saw Yi Zhonghai's eyes getting red, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to cause trouble, but now he had no way to do so.

Ever since he failed to be promoted to level eight worker last time, his status in the compound had plummeted, and even Jia Dongxu had become disrespectful to him.

Speaking of Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai recalled the accident during the exam and felt even more uncomfortable.

Although Li Aiguo is an annoying guy, he is always on the right track.

Jia Dongxu likes to play dirty tricks. Now when Yi Zhonghai is at work, no one dares to order Jia Dongxu around, for fear of being tricked.

"Ouch, my chest hurts a little, old lady, bring me the medicine quickly."

The aunt hurriedly brought the medicine, gave it to Yi Zhonghai, and helped him back to bed.

"Oh, Old Yi, if he continues like this, something will happen to him sooner or later!" An old lady sighed deeply.

She really couldn't understand why things had turned out like this.

You know, a few years ago, Yi Zhonghai was a moral model admired by everyone in the compound and an excellent fitter second to none in the factory, but now... Alas...

"Aiguo, you are busy, I should go back." Liu Haizhong helped connect several pipes and was about to leave.

There was a shouting sound coming from Xu Damao's house.

"Help, someone come quickly."

This sharp cry instantly broke the tranquility of the compound, and Hailong ran out of the house in a panic.

Li Aiguo immediately dropped the aluminum pipe and rushed over.

"Hailong, what happened?"

"My mother, my mother is bleeding. There is a huge pool of blood." Hailong said with tears on his face and a trembling voice.

Li Aiguo's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he rushed into the house.

Liu Lan was half lying on the ground.

Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and a pool of bright red appeared under her buttocks.

At this time, Aunt Liu and the third aunt also rushed over.

"Is this a premature birth?!" Aunt Liu, who is experienced, made the judgment.

Liu Lan's due date is two months later than Chen Xueru's, so giving birth now would mean she is one month premature.

Giving birth to a child these days is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman, not to mention the dangers of premature birth.

"Oh, what should we do? My uncle has gone to the countryside to show movies." Hailong and Haitao were so anxious that they cried.

"Stop crying! Your mother needs to be sent to the hospital immediately. Go and call Zhang Gangzhu." Li Aiguo said.

Hailong left the house.

At this time, there were already quite a few people gathered at the door.

Jia Dongxu stood at the front, looking at Liu Lan's expression, curling his lips and saying, "I told you long ago that Xu Damao was destined to be a family extinct, but he didn't believe it. Now look what happened, she had a miscarriage, the child is gone."

"I'll fuck your mother!"

boom!
Haitao's eyes turned red and he picked up a brick and hit Jia Dongxu on the forehead.

Jia Dongxu was caught off guard and hit.

Although Haitao is young, his strength when furious is not weak at all.

Jia Dongxu screamed, blood splattered on his forehead.

"You little bastard, your father bullied me, and you dare to bully me too. I will..."

Jia Dongxu was so angry that he was about to grab Haitao's collar.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, it was clamped by a pair of iron pliers.

He looked up from the pliers and saw a serious face.

"Jia Dongxu, Liu Lan's life or death is unknown right now, how dare you cause trouble here?!"

Hearing Li Aiguo's words, Jia Dongxu instinctively wanted to quarrel.

Li Aiguo exerted a little force and Jia Dongxu felt a pain in his arm, which made his body bend like a shrimp.

Li Aiguo pushed Jia Dongxu out with a sudden push.

There were a lot of people standing behind Jia Dongxu. Seeing this, they all dodged.

Jia Dongxu fell heavily to the ground.

At this time Yi Zhonghai also rushed over.

"Master, Li Aiguo bullied me!" Jia Dongxu complained with a grin in pain.

"Okay, Jia Dongxu, you can go back." Yi Zhonghai had just seen what happened.

Just based on Jia Dongxu's words about cursing someone to have a miscarriage, it was only natural that he got beaten.

"Master, you..." Jia Dongxu felt that his master seemed to no longer love him.

After Zhang Gangzhu received the news, he rushed over with a few young and strong men.

"Liu Lan's condition doesn't allow for a flatbed cart." Aunt Liu said with some concern, "It would be better if there was a stretcher."

Li Aiguo looked around and his eyes fell on the door panel of Xu Damao's house.

The last time Liang Ladi gave birth, Li Aiguo used this door panel to send Liang Ladi to the hospital.

I didn't expect to have to use it again.

There's nothing we can do about it, since this door panel is the smoothest one in the compound.

Zhang Gangzhu is already familiar with the route.

Question: How many steps are involved in getting a pregnant woman in premature labor to the hospital?
Answer: Three steps.

Step 1: Remove the door panel.

Step 2: Lay out the bedding.

Step 3: Lift the door panel and run.

Liu Lan's situation was much more serious than Liang Ladi's, and time was running out, so there was no time to wait for a jeep.

Li Aiguo directed seven or eight young men to take turns lifting the door panels.

They walked at full speed, racing against time, and in just over ten minutes, they successfully sent Liu Lan to Chaoyang Hospital.

Seeing Liu Lan being sent into the delivery room, Li Aiguo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Obstetricians these days are very experienced, and as long as you go to the hospital, you have saved half your life.

The doctor was busy in the delivery room for several hours and then pushed open the door and walked out.

"Who among you is the family member of the pregnant woman?"

The third uncle stepped forward and said, "The woman's husband has gone to the countryside. I am the uncle in charge of the compound."

"The mother and daughter are both safe, but they will have to stay in the hospital for a few days. Go back and prepare her things.

The doctor hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Also, prepare the things for pregnant women."

As a super dad, Li Aiguo naturally knew what the doctor meant.

"Don't worry, we'll be ready soon."

At this time, the nurse pushed Liu Lan and the child out of the ward.

Li Aiguo glanced at Liu Lan's child.

Well. Just like Xiao Hongsheng, it’s a pink little mouse.

Li Aiguo asked his second aunt to take care of Liu Lan in the hospital, while he returned to the courtyard.

At this time, the old women and young wives in the compound were all waiting for news.

Although they may have conflicts with Xu Damao on weekdays, they are all neighbors, and now that Liu Lan is in trouble, everyone is still very concerned.

Upon learning that Liu Lan and her daughter were safe, the old ladies and young wives all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank God!"

"Liu Lan needs some things for post-production now."

Li Aiguo went around Xu Damao's house but couldn't find anything Xu Damao had prepared, so he told the old ladies and wives what the doctor had said.

Zhang Tiezhu immediately raised his hand: "I have a pound of brown sugar at home."

Aunt Liu raised her hand: "I have toilet paper at home, prepared for He Yushui, you can take it first."

Li Aiguo ran home and got a small mattress.

When he came out, the third aunt also came out with five eggs.

"Auntie, you..." Li Aiguo was a little surprised.

"Take it quickly. Having a baby is the top priority."

The third aunt turned her head away with heartache, but stuffed the egg into Li Aiguo's hand.

Li Aiguo said no more and quickly returned to the hospital with his things.

Liu Lan had woken up by now and was looking at the child beside her tenderly.

When she saw what Li Aiguo was holding, her eyes instantly became moist and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Patriotic, you."

"This is something the neighbors in the compound put together for you."

Li Aiguo hates to see women cry.

She handed the small mattress, brown sugar and eggs to the second aunt and walked out of the delivery room.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance.

I saw Xu Damao staggering towards me from a distance, his trouser legs twisted into a knot.

"Aiguo, where is my wife and children?"

Li Aiguo pointed to the ward.

Xu Damao turned around and ran into the ward without saying a word.

After a moment, there was a commotion from inside.

"You still remembered to come back! If it weren't for Aiguo and the neighbors' help, my mother and I would have died in the house."

"Wife, I..."

"Snapped!"

Li Aiguo turned around and walked out of the hospital, squatted under the shade of a tree, and lit a cigarette.

A breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and countless spots of light were cast on Li Aiguo's body.

Because Liu Lan was born prematurely, she stayed in the hospital for five full days before returning to the compound.

Xu Jixiang and his mother also rushed to take care of Liu Lan after hearing the news.

Upon learning that Liu Lan had given birth to a daughter, Xu Jixiang talked with Xu Damao for a while and left with a dark face that day, leaving only Xu's mother.

Xu Damao was not unhappy, at least he didn't show it on the surface.

After all, Liu Lan gave birth to one child, so she can definitely give birth to a second one.

After Xu Damao settled Liu Lan and her daughter, he followed Xu Jixiang's instructions and went to the pigeon market to spend a large sum of money to buy candy coupons. He then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy five kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy.

He went door to door to thank the residents who helped that day.

"Uncle, thank you so much for your kindness a while ago."

The third uncle's hands had never been so big before, and he grabbed nearly half a pound of candy in one hand.

"Da Mao, those five eggs in my house"

"Don't worry, I'll send it to you later." Xu Damao nodded.

"Ahem, don't worry, don't worry. Liu Lan just gave birth and is weak."

Xu Damao's generosity and straightforwardness made the third uncle feel a little embarrassed.

Afterwards, Xu Damao went to Liu Haizhong's house again, and Zhang Gangzhu's house only avoided Yi Zhonghai's house and Jia Zhang's house.

Yi Zhonghai felt a little regretful at this moment.

He didn't really care about the candy.

The key was to send Liu Lan to the hospital to give birth, and almost all the residents in the compound helped.

As an uncle, he should have taken the lead, but Li Aiguo got there first.

How is prestige established?

It's not about talking.

Instead, you must be able to stand up at critical moments and shoulder heavy responsibilities, then others will trust you.

From then on, Li Aiguo's prestige among the residents of the compound became even higher.

Jia Zhang, however, was coveting those candies.

When she saw Xu Damao coming over with a bag of candy, she immediately rushed over to stop him.

"Xu Damao, why don't you give my family any candy!"

"Want some candy? Okay, you wait."

Xu Damao turned and went into the house.

When he came out again, Xu Damao was carrying the fine steel pot on his back and holding a stick in his hand.

"Jia Dongxu, you bastard, you dare to curse me, you are simply courting death!"

Xu Damao bent down, raised his stick, and suddenly launched a death charge towards the Jia family.

Jia Zhang was so frightened that she panicked and quickly hid aside.

Xu Damao rushed into the house, and soon the sound of Jia Dongxu's crying and shouting was heard from inside the house.

The residents in the compound were all watching the fun from the sidelines, and no one thought of stepping forward to stop it.

After all, Jia Dongxu cursed Liu Lan to have a miscarriage, which was really a heartless act.

Even Qin Huairu didn't feel comfortable enough to defend Jia Dongxu.

Xu Damao turned into a scapegoat and killed everyone, beating Jia Dongxu until he was bruised and battered.

night.

Lights were turned on in every household.

Li Aiguo was fiddling with the baby stroller when Xu Damao came over with some White Rabbit milk candies.

"Brother Aiguo, I won't say any more. If it weren't for you this time, our Xu family would have been wiped out."

Hiss. This sounds a bit ambiguous.

Li Aiguo quickly stopped Xu Damao.

"We are all neighbors, it's awkward to say these things."

"Has the baby been named?"

"Yes, I chose it. It's called Xu Hua. How about it? It sounds nice, right?" Xu Damao looked proud.

Xu Hua and Li Aiguo were silent.

Xu Damao put a pound of White Rabbit milk candy on the table, but did not leave immediately. He kept chatting with the Li family.

Li Aiguo saw what he was thinking and asked, "Da Mao, is there something wrong?"

"Brother Aiguo, Liu Lan was seriously injured due to premature birth. The doctor said that if she doesn't take good care of her body, she will develop chronic illness. So I want you to help get some milk powder." Xu Damao felt a little embarrassed.

You have to know that milk powder is considered a top-level nutritional product these days and is extremely scarce.

"Da Mao, milk powder is not cheap."

"The price is negotiable. I, Damao, don't have any other skills except making money." Xu Damao became excited when he saw that Li Aiguo did not refuse.

Li Aiguo looked at Xu Damao with a little surprise.

This guy is buying Linggui wine and milk powder. He is so good at making money.

But think about it.

When Xu Damao went to the countryside, he believed that thieves should not leave empty-handed.

Old hens, hickory nuts and jujubes can all be exchanged for money.

This is just small money.

The most profitable thing is actually helping others show movies.

Movies are the big killer these days, and there is nothing more prestigious than being able to book a movie theater.

Rich families in Beijing like to invite people to watch movies when they celebrate birthdays, weddings or funerals.

Xu Damao was a cunning man and made a lot of money by showing movies to people.

People are willing to pay for it.

Li Aiguo agreed immediately.
