Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 791 Jia Zhang’s changes!

"Aiguo! Congratulations on the birth of your daughter!" When Wu Aiguo returned to the courtyard, the TV program had just ended. The residents in the courtyard were walking back home with their own stools in their hands. When Yan Bugui saw Wu Aiguo walking into the front yard from outside, he immediately stepped forward to congratulate Wu Aiguo.

When Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's congratulations, he smiled and thanked Yan Bugui: "Uncle! Thank you for your congratulations!"

"Brother Aiguo! Are your sister-in-law and little niece okay?" Qin Dabao heard the conversation between Yan Bugui and Wu Aiguo, and immediately walked quickly to Wu Aiguo and asked him with a smile.

When Wu Aiguo heard Qin Dabao asking about Liang Jing and his daughter's condition, he smiled and said to Qin Dabao, "Dabao! Your sister-in-law and niece are both fine! They will probably be able to be discharged smoothly after staying in the hospital for a day or two."

Qin Dabao heard what Wu Aiguo said, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Aiguo! Aunt Chen has to take care of the children at home every day, and you have so many things to do every day. Tomorrow I will ask our Erni to help you go to the hospital to take care of your sister-in-law, so that you don't have to run back and forth between the unit and the hospital."

Tonight at the hospital, Liu Guangqi's wife Deng Meijuan also asked for leave to go to the hospital to help take care of Liang Jing, but was rejected by Wu Aiguo on the grounds that someone was taking care of her.

Wu Aiguo heard Qin Dabao's proposal and smiled and thanked him, "Dabao! Your sister-in-law's mother is the head nurse of the People's Hospital. During the day, she will help take care of your sister-in-law in the hospital, so I appreciate your kindness!"

Qin Dabao heard what Wu Aiguo said, but he did not give up his idea because of Wu Aiguo's refusal. He smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Brother Aiguo! Although my sister-in-law's mother is the head nurse, she has to go to work during the day, and our two children go to school during the day. Erni has nothing to do at home, so let her go to the hospital to accompany my sister-in-law."

Yan Bugui, who was standing by, heard what Qin Dabao said and immediately said to Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! Your third aunt doesn't have anything to do at home, why don't you ask your third aunt to go to the hospital to help take care of Doctor Liang."

Wu Aiguo heard the thoughts of Qin Dabao and Third Uncle and gratefully refused: "Dabao! Third Uncle! Xiaojing is a doctor at the People's Hospital. She has plenty of people to take care of her in the hospital. There is really no need to send someone to the hospital to take care of her."

The reason why Yan Bugui proposed to let the Third Aunt go to the hospital to take care of Liang Jing was mainly because he wanted to take this opportunity to get some benefits from Wu Aiguo. Now that Wu Aiguo had said this, he could only reluctantly give up his idea and said to Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Aiguo! Since you said so, I won't force you. If there is anything the hospital needs help with, you must tell the Third Uncle."

When Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's reminder, he smiled and thanked Yan Bugui: "Third Uncle! Thank you. If the hospital needs help, I will definitely let you know."

After Wu Aiguo chatted with Yan Bugui and Qin Dabao in the yard for a while, he carried his briefcase and walked into the east wing.

Qin Dabao watched Wu Aiguo walk into the east wing, then turned back to his home and said to Liang Erni, who was mending clothes in the main room, "Erni! Tomorrow, after the children go to school, take some time to go to the hospital to see Doctor Liang and see if there is anything he needs help with."

Liang Erni nodded subconsciously when she heard Qin Dabao's instructions and replied, "Dabao! I understand. I will go to the hospital tomorrow after I send the children to school."

When Liang Erni said this, she thought of her elder sister-in-law Qin Huairu, and her face showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping. After a moment, Liang Erni finally couldn't help it and asked Qin Dabao: "Dabao! Do you want to inform our family about Dr. Liang's matter?"

Qin Dabao and Liang Erni have been married for so many years, so Qin Dabao is naturally very clear about Liang Erni's character. When Qin Dabao heard Liang Erni mention Qin Huairu, he immediately guessed Liang Erni's true thoughts.

Thinking of the relationship between Qin Huairu and Wu Aiguo, Qin Dabao sighed helplessly: "My sister's belly is also disappointing. Why can't she give birth to a boy? In this way, she won't have to worry about the future."

When Liang Erni heard what Qin Dabao said and saw the worried expression on Qin Dabao's face, she said to him, "Dabao! Actually, I have a way to solve Dagu's problem."

When Qin Dabao heard Liang Erni's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately asked Liang Erni: "Erni! What's the solution? Tell me about it quickly."

When Liang Erni heard Qin Dabao's question, she thought of what she had been thinking about in her heart, and immediately whispered to Qin Dabao: "Dabao! There is a family in the east of our village, he is a eunuch, because of his eunuch, he still has no wife. We can give him some money, and then let him get married with my aunt, so that my aunt can have another child legitimately."

Liang Erni's suggestion made Qin Dabao's eyes light up again. He said to Liang Erni, "Erni! Your idea is indeed feasible. I will take some time these two days to visit my elder sister and talk to her about this." "Aiguo! You're back! Did Liang Jing tell me what she wants to eat tomorrow morning?" Chen Shuying, who was playing with the children in the house, saw Wu Aiguo coming back and immediately greeted him with a smile.

When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's question, he put his briefcase on the table and said to Chen Shuying with a smile, "Mom! Xiaojing said she doesn't want to eat anything in particular. She will eat whatever you cook."

Chen Shuying nodded subconsciously when she heard Wu Aiguo's words, and said to him, "Your son has been taken back to the backyard by your sister-in-law. After I finish cleaning up here, I will also go back to the backyard to rest. You have been busy all day, so go wash up and go to bed early!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's instructions, he smiled and replied, "Mom! I know!"

After hearing Wu Aiguo's answer, Chen Shuying decided to return to the backyard to rest.

Chen Shuying was about to go back to the backyard to rest. When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something and said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Some residents in our courtyard heard about Liang Jing's birth and sent some eggs and food to our house tonight. When Xiaojing and the baby are discharged from the hospital, you can buy something to return the gifts to the neighbors in the courtyard."

After hearing what Chen Shuying said, Wu Aiguo smiled and asked Chen Shuying, "Mom! How many families in our courtyard have sent gifts to our family? This way, I can prepare return gifts based on the number of neighbors."

When Chen Shuying heard the question raised by Wu Aiguo, she said to him, "Aiguo! All the residents in our courtyard sent gifts. Even Jia Zhang sent ten eggs. Yi Zhonghai's family sent five catties of flour and one catty of pork. In addition, three families in the neighboring courtyard also sent us some things."

In Wu Aiguo's subconscious mind, Jia Zhang was a person who could only take in but not give out. Now that he learned that Jia Zhang had sent ten eggs to his home, Wu Aiguo was really shocked.

Thinking of Jia Zhang's character, Wu Aiguo was surprised and asked Chen Shuying for confirmation: "Mom! What did you just say? Jia Zhang sent ten eggs to our family? Is this true? This is obviously inconsistent with Jia Zhang's character?"

When Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's question and saw his startled expression, she thought of the changes in Jia Zhang in the past two years and said to Wu Aiguo unhappily, "Aiguo! In the past, Jia Zhang was rude and unreasonable, and she was mean and sarcastic. That was because she lost her husband early. In that cannibalistic era, if Jia Zhang hadn't been like that, she would have been eaten up by others and her entire family would have been wiped out long ago."

When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's words, he thought of everything that happened before liberation. He agreed with Chen Shuying's point of view, but thinking of the current situation of the Jia family, Wu Aiguo asked Chen Shuying in confusion: "Mom! Now there are only Jia Zhang and Banggeng left in the Jia family. According to Jia Zhang's personality, shouldn't she become even more aggressive? Why has she changed so much?"

When Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's question, she thought of the aunts in the courtyard and their current evaluation of Jia Zhangshi. She said to Wu Aiguo with sympathy, "Aiguo! In fact, Jia Zhangshi's change of those bad habits is more or less related to Jia Dongxu's death and her replacement at the steel mill."

When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's answer, he instinctively thought of the idiom "a frog in the well!"

In the past, Jia Zhang had always lived in a courtyard house. To Jia Zhang, the courtyard house was like a well, and Jia Zhang was the frog living at the bottom of the well. Coupled with Yi Zhonghai's deliberate favoritism, Jia Zhang became even more unscrupulous.

Now, for the sake of her and Banggeng's life, Jia Zhang had to leave the courtyard and go to work in the steel mill. Yi Zhonghai's reputation in the steel mill was already bad, so he naturally could not provide shelter for Jia Zhang, which made Jia Zhang finally realize that the tricks she used in the past to summon spirits were completely ineffective in the steel mill.

After trying to figure out the whole story, Wu Aiguo finally understood why Jia Zhang sent eggs to his family. He smiled and said to Chen Shuying, "Mom! I originally thought that Jia Zhang was a very ignorant rural woman. Now it seems that Jia Zhang is not ignorant at all. Instead, she is very smart."

When Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's comments on Jia Zhangshi, she rolled her eyes at him and mocked him, "Aiguo! You are a cadre, but you don't even think about it. Can a widow who raised her son smoothly during the war be an ignorant rural woman?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's evaluation of Jia Zhangshi, he nodded in agreement and complimented Chen Shuying with a smile, "Mom! You still see things clearly."

When Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's compliment, she showed a proud expression on her face and said to Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Aiguo! It's getting late. I will go back to the backyard first. You should go to bed early too."
