Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 89 Help
The next night, Yang Zhenyu rode his bicycle back to the compound.

But today the compound is bustling again.

"Teacher Yan, what's going on today? Why is the compound so lively?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

"Well, what else can we do? Qin Huairu has given birth. All the neighbors in the compound who can help have gone to help. After all, it is not easy for a young widow like her. We neighbors should give some help if we can." Yan Bugui said.

"When did it happen? Wasn't he fine when I left the night before yesterday?" Yang Zhenyu said in surprise.

"It happened yesterday. It was your wife who helped deliver the baby last night." Yan Bugui said.

"This is a happy event, but it's a pity that the baby will be born without a father." Yang Zhenyu said with a sigh.

"Who said it wasn't? Alas!" Yan Bugui shook his head and felt sorry for Jia Dongxu.

Yan Bugui's family is living a much better life now. The salary of three people plus allowances is over 70%.

Recently, Yan Bugui has not been calculating about onions and garlic, but he has started to calculate other things.

"Hey, Teacher Yang, please check later to see if my third and fourth children have the opportunity to go to college." Ever since he knew that Yang Zhenyu went to teach at the university, Yan Bugui's way of addressing him changed. He felt that this would raise his status.

In particular, Yan Bugui asked someone and learned that He Yushui's performance in school was much better than at the beginning.

Every opportunity to go to school is an opportunity to change your destiny. If you can really cultivate a talent for the country, you will make a lot of money.

Not to mention anything else, He Yuzhu often gave the Yang family some gifts and bought some things. This is not something that ordinary people can afford, and it really costs money.

So people all knew that with Yang Zhenyu's tutoring, He Yushui would really go to college in the future.

"There are only two days of classes in a week. If there are more, I can't bear it. I will be back after the class." Yang Zhenyu said with gestures.

But I am really envious, after all, the salary of university teachers is really good.

"I see. After all, you're a university teacher. Your job is much easier than mine as an elementary school teacher." Yan Bugui said with some envy.

"How come it's easy? Your textbook is distributed by your superiors, and I have to write mine myself. How can they be the same?" Yang Zhenyu said.

"Okay, the two kids are still young, there is still hope if we work harder. Besides, they are not stupid, and when they go back to high school, let them ask Yu Shui for some questions to do." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

Of course, not everyone can ask Yang Zhenyu for help.

"By the way, didn't you say last time that you were going to class? Why are you back so soon?" Yan Bugui asked curiously.

"Why did you come back so late?" Zhou Qianqian said as she took the briefcase from Yang Zhenyu.

Yan Bugui didn't care. He knew his own abilities. It was good enough for him to be a primary school teacher. His level was far from Yang Zhenyu's.

"Haha..." Yang Zhenyu laughed.

"Hey, I suspect you are showing off to me." Yan Bugui said while tilting his head and looking at Yang Zhenyu who was in a gloomy state.

When it comes to going to school, Yang Zhenyu never refuses.

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that. The third child should be in high school soon. I'll let him try later. If he's too stupid, he can go to the factory when he gets a chance." Yan Bugui was immediately happy.

All the residents in the compound know that He Yushui is taking tutoring classes with Yang Zhenyu, and his grades have improved significantly.

"Principal Tang insisted on taking me to have dinner with him, and I hurried back after the meal. But I still got dirty when I came back." Yang Zhenyu said helplessly.

"It seems that Principal Tang still values ​​you very much and even invited you to dinner." Zhou Qianqian said after sniffing Yang Zhenyu.

"I didn't drink, you performed well." Zhou Qianqian patted Yang Zhenyu's belly and said. "How dare I drink? I rode a long way back. If I drink a little and something happens on the road, where can I go to complain?" Yang Zhenyu rolled his eyes and said.

"That's good to know. Qin Huairu gave birth to a girl." Zhou Qianqian changed the subject.

"When I came in, I heard from Teacher Yan that you are so brave that you dared to deliver a baby."

As he was talking, Yang Zhenyu had already changed his clothes, wearing a vest and shorts, the standard attire of a veteran cadre.

This body is very cool in this summer.

"I happened to see related information some time ago, so I wanted to give it a try. Besides, there is Aunt Zhang at the entrance of the alley. She is an experienced midwife and is very skilled." Zhou Qianqian said.

Yang Zhenyu also knew that in this era, most births were given at home with the help of a midwife, and very few people gave birth in hospitals.

The reason is, first of all, it is because of the thousands of years of old tradition. Everyone has lived this way and has no awareness of going to the hospital.

The second reason is that most people don’t have money and are reluctant to spend money to go to the hospital.

This phenomenon existed in many rural areas until the late 1980s and early 1990s, after which the awareness and habit of going to the hospital gradually formed.

"You are so foolish and bold. It will be troublesome if you fail to get this thing. Don't go there next time." Yang Zhenyu nodded on Zhou Qianqian's head and said.

"I see. This is because he has just learned a new skill and he can't help himself." Zhou Qianqian nodded and said.

"What did your aunt say?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

"My aunt bought some brown sugar and eggs and took them over, saying we don't need to touch them." Zhou Qianqian immediately understood what Yang Zhenyu meant.

"Okay, then let's just ignore it. We can go over and check it out when we have time. You are a doctor, no one can compare to you." Yang Zhenyu nodded and said.

Nowadays, when a family has a baby, most people give them a few eggs or some noodles as a gift, and a small number of people give them some brown sugar.

On the one hand, farewell gifts are quite expensive and not practical. Giving these gifts can not only enhance the nutrition of the mother, but also make it more convenient for her to eat.

"Who will take care of me during the confinement period?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

"It's the three of my eldest aunt, and Jia Zhang didn't even show her head." Zhou Qianqian said with a pout.

Zhou Qianqian really disliked Jia Zhang and thought this old lady was a piece of shit.

"This shouldn't be the case. Doesn't this guy love his grandson the most? He should be actively showing his support at this time." Yang Zhenyu said with a frown.

"Who knows? Anyway, no one showed up. It was the three aunts who took turns to help. Other aunts in the compound also went to help." Zhou Qianqian said.

"Let's not talk about them. I'm going to wash my feet and then go to sleep. I'm really tired after riding the bike all the way." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Then I'll go talk to my aunt so that they won't worry about it." Zhou Qianqian said.

"No need, I'll go to the central courtyard to get some water and tell you by the way." Yang Zhenyu said.

September in the city is still hot.

At night, it will be much cooler and not as hot as in July and August.

People like to gather in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air and chat.
