Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 788 Speak of the devil!
When Wu Aiguo saw Liu Guangqi and his wife holding gifts, he smiled and said, "Speak of the devil, here he comes!"

When Liu Guangqi heard Wu Aiguo's words, a puzzled expression appeared on his face. He asked Wu Aiguo with doubt in his heart: "Brother Aiguo! What do you mean by this? Did you and sister-in-law just happen to talk about us?"

Wu Aiguo heard Liu Guangqi's question and explained with a smile: "Guangqi! Meijuan's father brought his leader to the hospital to visit your sister-in-law this afternoon and gave her a lot of things. Your aunt wanted to return them, but your father-in-law and his men left after leaving the things. So I thought, when I go back in the evening, I will send the things to you and ask you to help pass them on to your father-in-law."

When Deng Meijuan heard what Wu Aiguo said, she immediately replied with a smile: "Brother Aiguo! My dad and his family have already left Kyoto City on the 5:00 pm train. If you give these things to us, we can't return them!"

When Deng Meijuan said this, she suddenly remembered the purpose of their visit and quickly said to Wu Aiguo and Liang Jing, "Brother Aiguo! Sister-in-law Liang Jing! This is a little gift from Guangqi and I. I hope that sister-in-law can recover soon."

When Liang Jing heard what Deng Meijuan said and saw the bag Liu Guangqi had placed on the bedside table, she quickly said to Deng Meijuan, "Meijuan! We received your kindness, but we cannot accept this gift no matter what."

Wu Aiguo heard the conversation between Deng Meijuan and Liang Jing, and also smiled and refused: "Guangqi! Meijuan! We are all neighbors living in the same compound, there is no need to be so polite, so we accept your kindness, but this gift, plus the things sent by Meijuan's father, you have to take all these things back to me later."

When Liu Guangqi heard what Wu Aiguo said, he immediately said to Wu Aiguo: "Brother Aiguo! We have no right to deal with the gifts from my father-in-law and his family. As for the gifts from my husband and wife, they are normal gifts between our neighbors. If you don't accept them, then you are not treating us as neighbors."

When Wu Aiguo heard what Liu Guangqi said, considering the man-made accident in the courtyard, he smiled and said to Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi! Since you have said so much, we will accept the things you sent. However, I would like to trouble you to send the things sent by Meijuan's father to Anci County for me, and ask Meijuan's father to help return them to the Anci County Light Industry Bureau."

When Liu Guangqi heard Wu Aiguo's request, he quickly replied, "Brother Aiguo! Your request is really embarrassing for me. How about this? I'll leave the things with you first, and I'll give you a reply after I call Meijuan's father and find out what he thinks."

When Wu Aiguo heard what Liu Guangqi said, he naturally understood that Liu Guangqi's words were all excuses. In order to let Liu Guangqi help return the things, Wu Aiguo said to Liu Guangqi with a serious face: "Guangqi! If you are not willing to help, I will arrange for someone to send it to the post office tomorrow to send it to the Anci County Light Industry Bureau. As for the things you sent, I will take them back directly later. From now on, we will be ordinary neighbors."

Just as Wu Aiguo expected, the so-called phone call was just an excuse for Liu Guangqi to deal with Wu Aiguo. Faced with Wu Aiguo's threat, Liu Guangqi panicked and quickly replied: "Brother Aiguo! Since you said so, we will take this thing back for you later. When we go to work tomorrow, we will personally send it to the post office and send it back."

Seeing Liu Guangqi compromise, Wu Aiguo showed a satisfied smile on his face and said to Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi! The reason why I approved the purchase quota of four equipment for Anci County is because we have been neighbors for many years. It has nothing to do with the Anci County Light Industry Bureau."

"As the saying goes, one cannot accept gifts without merit! And I am a cadre, a D-level cadre, so I naturally cannot accept gifts from the Anci County Light Industry Bureau, so I will trouble you to help me send these things to Anci County tomorrow."

Seeing Wu Aiguo had said so much, Liu Guangqi immediately complimented him, "Brother Aiguo! With your awareness, it's no wonder that you are able to become a department-level leader at such a young age. I must learn from you in the future."

When Wu Aiguo heard Liu Guangqi's compliment, he immediately called out to Liu Guangqi and Deng Meijuan, "Guangqi! Meijuan! Don't stand, please sit down." After hearing what Wu Aiguo said, Deng Meijuan sat down in front of the bed and asked Liang Jing with a smile, "Sister-in-law! Was it hard to give birth?"

Liang Jing, who was sitting on the bed eating, heard what Deng Meijuan said and said to her with a smile: "Meijuan! Giving birth is our duty as women, so what's the hardship about it?"

When Deng Meijuan heard Liang Jing's words, she thought of her neighbor's wife, who nearly died in the delivery room of the hospital because of childbirth. She couldn't help showing a fearful expression on her face and said to Liang Jing: "Sister-in-law! To be honest, my neighbor's wife almost died in the operating room when she gave birth in the hospital. So until now, I am a little afraid of giving birth."

After hearing what Deng Meijuan said and seeing her horrified expression, Liang Jing smiled and comforted her, "Meijuan! Giving birth is hard, but it's not as scary as you think."

"Your neighbor's wife almost died in the operating room because of a difficult labor. It was probably because she did not follow the doctor's instructions to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup during her pregnancy. As a result, the fetus was in an abnormal position, which led to a difficult labor. In this case, a caesarean section can also successfully deliver the baby."

When Deng Meijuan heard Liang Jing's introduction, she immediately thought of her neighbor's wife. Because she was from the countryside and had no education, she had never been to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. In addition, when she was about to give birth, she was not sent to the hospital in time. Later, as Liang Jing said, the doctor used a caesarean section to allow her to give birth smoothly.

Realizing that giving birth was not as scary as she had imagined, Deng Meijuan immediately asked Liang Jing: "Sister-in-law! Can you tell me what I should pay attention to when I am pregnant?"

When Liang Jing heard Deng Meijuan's question, she introduced to her with a smile: "Meijuan! When you are pregnant, you must maintain a balanced nutrition and eat a variety of foods. If necessary, you can eat foods that stimulate appetite. In addition, you must stay in a good mood and go to the hospital for regular prenatal checkups!"

After hearing what Liang Jing said, Deng Meijuan was no longer as afraid of having a child as before. Instead, she thought in her heart that after returning home at night, she and Liu Guangqi would try harder to get pregnant as soon as possible.

After having this thought in her mind, Deng Meijuan said to Liang Jing with a grateful look on her face: "Sister-in-law! To be honest, ever since I learned that my neighbor's sister-in-law almost died in the delivery room because of childbirth, I have been very afraid of getting pregnant and having a child. Now that I hear what you said, I am finally relieved."

Liu Guangqi, who was standing by, was so excited when he heard what Deng Meijuan said to Liang Jing.

Not long after Liu Guangqi married Deng Meijuan, his parents urged them to have a baby as soon as possible. However, Deng Meijuan was very afraid of having children, which led to the fact that even after more than three months of marriage, Deng Meijuan still hadn't gotten pregnant.

The news that Deng Meijuan has decided to have a child is undoubtedly great news for Liu Guangqi.
