A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 35 Qin Huairu gives birth to a daughter

A fight suddenly breaks out.

An unexpected beginning and an inexplicable end.

This is the conclusion Li Xiang secretly made in his heart.

Afterwards, Lao Wu admitted that he had lost two yuan to Lao Er and did not take back his old clothes.

Regarding the gift-giving, Lao Wu was finally picked out and sent alone by himself.

The six of them spent 3 yuan each to raise funds to buy the pen.

If they had known this, why would they have made such a fuss? They would have spent a lot of money and hurt each other's friendship.

Anyway, for a while, Lao Wu was indifferent to everyone in the dormitory, and it was not until a long time later that normal interactions were resumed.

But only you know whether the grudge in your heart has been eliminated.

. . . . . .

It was Saturday time again, and Li wanted to rush home as usual.

It was rare that Li's mother arrived home first today. When Li wanted to enter the house, she saw her mother and her eldest sister busy in the kitchen.

His mother was standing in front of the washbasin washing something. He stepped forward and saw that the good guy turned out to be a sheep scorpion with its flesh shaved cleanly.

Li Xiang deliberately teased her and stood behind his mother, pretending to be surprised and said: "You are eating so well, how can you live longer?"

"Oh, you scared me to death. You brat didn't even make a sound when you entered the house." Mother Li was startled by her son who suddenly made a sound. She patted her chest with one hand to reassure herself, and then slapped his arm angrily. A few hard slaps.

Li's mother, who does heavy physical work, has strong hands. Li Xiang screamed when she was beaten, which made the eldest sister next to her laugh.

I didn't expect that my eldest brother, who has always been steady, would have such a day.

Li Xiang quickly begged for mercy: "Don't fight, don't fight, Mom, be careful, don't break the things in my bag."

The next sentence made Mother Li stop immediately.

Li Xiang carefully placed a bag of eggs on the counter. There were about 15 eggs in it.

"There are so many. These eggs came at just the right time. I will send five to the Jia family later."

Li Xiang asked in confusion: "Why would you send eggs to his family for no reason?"

The eldest sister explained to him: "Sister-in-law Jia gave birth to a girl two days ago. She is named Sophora japonica."

"It's a happy event, but why don't you give money as a gift? These eggs are so rare these days. You can't buy them just with money." Li Xiang still couldn't understand.

"You also said it is rare. According to the previous rules, mothers should be given 2 pounds of meat, 2 pounds of eggs, and 2 pounds of brown sugar as subsidies. But I don't know what happened this year. Not to mention only a few taels of meat and only eggs. Eight pills, only brown sugar is enough for 1 jin."

Li Xiang murmured: "This is more than just cutting it in half."

"Who says it's not the case? Huairu still has to breastfeed the child. How can the milk come from without nutrition?" Mother Li suddenly paused when she said this. She seemed to realize that something was wrong, and quickly added: "Hey, you and I Why are you talking about this? This is not something a young man like you can listen to."

Li wanted to see his mother like this, so he followed her advice and found another topic.

"Where did you get this sheep and scorpion? The shave is really clean."

"When the uncle saw that Huairu was pregnant, he knew that there was not enough nutrition, so he asked Zhuzhu for help to see if there was any way to get some meaty food to supplement it. He didn't know where Zhuzhu got this pile of bones. Not only did he give The Jia family also sent some to the first uncle and our family."

"Oh~ that's what happened. Did you give me any money?"

Mother Li smiled and replied: "Why don't you give it to me? But Zhu Zhu insisted on saying no, saying it wasn't worth a lot of money. I see, he is still thinking about you finding a partner for him." "No. Forgot, I asked my classmates to ask, there should be news after a while." He didn't even mention Gu Da Niu's matter to Li's mother.

Speaking of this, he remembered something that he had to do quickly.

He put on his coat and said, "Mom, I have to attend a friend's wedding banquet tomorrow. I'll wash these clothes and put them by the stove to dry at night. Is it still too late?"

"You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? Take it off quickly. I'll wash it now." After hearing this, Mother Li immediately stepped forward and took off his clothes.

The eldest son now only wears a decent coat. Although the clothes are a bit old, the mother wants him to be neat and clean when he goes out.

Li Xiang saw that his mother was impatient and was about to take action, so he quickly took two steps back and motioned for him to do it himself.

He hurriedly took off the clothes from his body and handed them to her.

Mother Li took the clothes, put them in the wash basin, and walked out in a hurry.

Before taking two steps, he hurried back and took five eggs from the bag and put them in the bowl.

Then she told her eldest sister: "Mom has washed these bones. Just put them in the pot and stew them. Remember to add more water and add the seasonings when I come back."

As he said that, his hands were both empty and he walked quickly towards the middle courtyard without looking back.

The eldest sister obeyed the instructions, holding a large portion of bones and pouring them into the pot.

Li Xiang saw that this job was quite difficult, so he quickly took over and did not let his elder sister get involved in pouring water.

Just let her watch, and remember to stop when the water level reaches it.

The eldest sister sat nearby and chatted with the eldest brother. Mother Li was there just now, and there were some things that she was not suitable to comment on at her age.

"I think Sister-in-law Jia might be able to eat the egg, but the bone soup can be divided into some."

"What should I say?" Li Xiang did not treat his sister like a child. Every time he chatted with her, he would listen carefully and show enough respect.

"Aunt Jia didn't like Sophora japonica and thought she was just a girl. She also had a bad attitude towards my sister-in-law. She had her brought back from the hospital the next day."

Li Xiang didn't expect such a thing to happen. After all, since Jia Dongxu left, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been quite harmonious, and they have discussed everything. Why are they falling out now?

Obviously, when Qin Huairu was pregnant, Jia Zhang was also very good to Xiaodang. Although she was still a little worse than Banggeng, but judging from her attitude towards Xiaodang, she should also love her granddaughter. How could it be because Huaihua is a girl? His attitude took a turn for the worse.

Li wanted to ask his sister: "Then why do you think Aunt Jia has changed so much?"

"Hmm~" The elder sister thought seriously for a moment.

Then he replied: "I think Aunt Jia thought that the baby in my sister-in-law's belly was a boy, so she was willing to endure it for a while to let my sister-in-law calm down and raise the baby in peace. But now that it is a girl, she regretted it and denied it."

After listening to his sister's words, Li Xiang felt that this child was really smart. Although what he said was not entirely correct, it was still close to the point.

I'm afraid that the Jia Zhang family will become like this, not only because Huaihua is a girl, but because she has always been resentful in her heart that this child has taken away her father.

Otherwise, the child would not be named Sophora japonica. Whose child would be named after Sophora japonica?

According to old customs, Sophora japonica is regarded as the ghost of wood, so this wood should not be used in building houses and other civil engineering projects. People who are fastidious should also avoid using this word in their names.

If a boy is born, Jia and Zhang can still convince themselves that this can continue the family line.
But it happened to be a girl, so don't blame her for pouring her resentment on this child.

The mother who gave birth to the child was also blamed by her for sitting together.
