Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 235 Liang Ladi Wants a Child

   It was dark.

  Jiang Ping'an and Liang Ladi's family sat and ate together, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

  In the evening, I ate steamed buns made from Erhe noodles.

   Add braised carp, hot and sour potato shreds and egg soup.

   "The food provided by the food station has been getting worse and worse recently." Liang Ladi said.

   "Many grains are moldy and infested with insects. They are clearly the bottom grains cleaned out of the grain depot."

   "If the portion is not enough, replace it with an equivalent amount of moldy dried sweet potato."

  Jiang Pingan took a bite of the dish, nodded and said:

   "It's not like this here, it's the same everywhere in the country."

   "I have been traveling all over the world in the past few months, and whenever I go to a place, I will investigate the local situation."

   "To be honest, our capital is not bad. The good ones and the bad ones can at least buy food."

   "Farmers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, known as the land of fish and rice, were relocated to the mountainous areas in large numbers."

   "Because I am a farmer in a mountainous area, the grain collection quota is lower."

   Paused, he took a bite of the steamed bun, and continued:

   "As for the reduction in food quality, there is no other way."

   "In recent years, grain production has been severely reduced. Can we not use the stock to eat?"

  Liang Ladi nodded slightly, pursed her lips and said:

   "Fortunately, with your help, our family still has Erhe noodles to eat."

   "The living conditions should be better, otherwise I would have to humble myself and beg others."

  Widows with children, sometimes very specific.

  Even if her salary is high enough, the food is rationed.

   What should I do if I don’t have enough food? Don't you have the cheek to ask others?

   And once you ask others, right and wrong will come out.

  Even if nothing happened, she, a widow, would be told something.

   But she can only stare blankly.

   If you really want to gossip with others, the reason becomes unreasonable.

  So, Jiang Ping'an helped her family.

   Not only did they survive, but they survived with dignity.

  Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "According to our relationship, one family doesn't need to talk about two families, so don't be so polite."

   As he spoke, he looked at the three children and continued:

   "You have trained these children well, and I like them too."

   "I'm willing to give them some delicious food every now and then."

  Da Mao said happily: "Godfather, we like you too!"

  Ermao and Sanmao followed suit, saying that Jiang Ping'an was as amiable as his father.

  Jiang Pingan laughed out loud, Liang Ladi rolled his eyes and suggested:

   "How about we call him Father Jiang from now on?"

   "Dad Jiang!" Da Mao blurted out, staring at him with piercing eyes.

   "Jiang's dad!" Ermao and Sanmao said in unison, all of them beaming with joy.

   "Well, well! They are all good!" Jiang Ping'an Lao Huai was pleased.

  I feel unspeakably satisfied.

  Although the children are not their own, they are heartwarming.

   In the final analysis, Liang Ladi is the best teacher, diligent, sensible, and polite.

  They are still young, but they know how to hurt others.

   Not like the children of Qin Huairu's family.

   Especially that dog bastard, if you treat him a little better, he will push his nose on his face.

  The better you treat him, the more he takes it for granted.

  Typical holding hands and not going, pretending to be backwards, talking and doing things are chilling.

  Jiang Ping'an didn't care whether the children understood or not, and said to them earnestly:

   "Since you all call me dad, I will treat you as my own children from now on."

   "No matter how much you spend on food and clothing, you will not be worse than others, or even better."

   "The only thing is that you have to study hard, and with culture, you will be able to stand out in the future."

  Da Mao nodded fiercely and said: "We all listen to Dad Jiang, study hard and serve the country."

   Ermao and Sanmao followed suit. These two are still young, and they don't know that reading is also very hard.

  Liang Ladi said happily: "If there is a man in the family, the children can also rely on them."

   "Now we are close, come here more when you have time, and treat this place as your own home."

   "I don't expect you to bring things over often, it's not necessary."

   "It's enough to have enough food these days, don't demand too much."

   Talking and laughing, after a meal, several children competed to wash the dishes.

  Liang Ladi greeted her a few times, then entered the cubicle with Jiang Pingan, and fed Xiuer.

   This girl is even more likable. When she saw Jiang Ping'an, she reached out for a hug.

  Jiang Pingan chuckled, took Xiu'er, and made her giggle.

  Liang Ladi took a bowl of porridge, fed Xiuer, and said:

  “The only bad thing here is that the house is too small.”

   "I'm also looking for a house recently, and plan to rent a big one."

   "In this case, it will be more convenient for you to come and spend the night."

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and asked, "Do you need my help?"

   As for bringing Liang Ladi to the small courtyard, he never thought about it.

  Just let Yu Li and Yu Haitang go there.

   They are usually there and can help with cleaning.

   If you get another woman over there, the car will overturn if you don't get it right.

   "That's not necessary, I have already greeted the street, and there will be news in a few days." Liang Ladi replied.

  Paused, she said with a meaningful smile: "My salary is higher now, and the pressure is less."

   "If you want, I still want to give you a child while I am young."

  Jiang Ping'an pondered: "I have nothing to hate, the key is how will you say it to the outside world?"

  Speaking of which, on Chen Xueru's side, even if they found someone surnamed Jiang, the child's surname can also be named Jiang.

   It was agreed in advance, and a deposit of 100 yuan will be given for the certificate.

   After the child is born and registered, a final payment of 300 yuan will be made.

  The total cost of four hundred yuan was nothing to Chen Xueru.

  Both of them have urban household registration, which is convenient, and Xu Huizhen accompanied them to obtain the certificate.

  Xu Huizhen is easy to deal with, although she is obviously married to Cai Quanwu.

  But after the child is born, it can be directly registered as the Jiang surname.

   This matter was also discussed with Cai Quanwu, so just say that his ancestor's surname is Jiang.

  But the next child, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, must have the surname Cai, which is also Cai Quanwu's request.

  Liang Ladi heard the words, hesitantly said: "There is a master named Jiang in our factory..."

  Jiang Ping'an was speechless, cooperating with Liang Ladi's idea, which was the same as Chen Xueru's.

   After finishing speaking, Liang Ladi said anxiously: "Don't worry, I'm only talking to him about the certificate. After the child is born, we will divorce."

  Jiang Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded, "All right, I'll do as you say!"

  Liang Ladi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Master Jiang fought in the war before, was injured, and has no children."

   "He wants to ask me to adopt a child for him, this matter..."

   "Why, you don't have enough births, how many more do you want?" Jiang Ping'an raised his eyebrows.

  Liang Ladi stared at Shui Lingling's big eyes, and said pitifully:

   "I followed you for nothing. If you don't give birth to a few children, I always feel sorry for you."

  Jiang Pingan laughed loudly, nodded and said, "All right, give birth if you want."

   "Don't worry, if you really give birth to me, I will take care of your family."

  Liang Ladi felt relieved, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Of course I want you to raise it, if you don't raise it, let's drink the northwest wind?"

   "Also, after the child is born, you can't favor one another, it's not good for Sanmao and the others."

  Jiang Ping'an waved his hand and said, "Where can it be?"

   "Didn't I say that, I really like these kids."

   "Don't worry, I will treat them equally from now on."
