"Of course I'm here to see a doctor, but you, a big man, why don't you go to the gynecology department when you have nothing to do."
In front of Li Huaide was his sister-in-law, his wife's third sister, Director Zhu Yingzhu, who was just appointed as the director of the sub-district office.
"Of course my brother-in-law is here to see Director Ding. I want to talk to him about something. You come to the gynecology department. Is this because your body and bones are not suitable?"
Seeing her brother-in-law asking questions, Zhu Ying was not embarrassed at all.
"I'm here to take a look too. I just finished the inspection and I'm going to have a little one."
When Li Huaide heard this, he felt a little envious. His wife, this sister, just got married this year, and there was news so soon. After struggling for so many years and going through curves, he finally got hope. The hardships involved are beyond words. His face There was still a smile on the face to express congratulations.
"Hey, this is a good thing. Congratulations. Dad should be happy now. I haven't told my parents yet. Okay, I'll go back and tell dad the good news to make him happy."
My father-in-law has been a revolutionary all his life, and his three children were all born during the Anti-Japanese War. One son and two daughters were raised by fellow villagers. They suffered enough and were later brought back. All of them were extremely weak. The eldest and the oldest 2. Having no children for so many years makes my father-in-law very anxious.
Now the eldest son is working in other places, but his lover is in the capital. We spend less time together and stay apart more. He hasn’t had a child for many years. It will be difficult in the future. My wife is the second child. She suffered from poor conditions when she was a child, and she has never been able to have children. My father-in-law I mentioned it several times, but there was still no movement from Li Huaide's side.
I also wanted to have a child, but unfortunately I was unable to do so, and my many efforts were in vain. I didn’t expect that the youngest, the third child, just got married this year, and now there is news.
"Brother-in-law, you'd better stop talking. I'll speak for myself. You and my sister should hold on tight. My sister is not young now. If you don't want her anymore, she will be just like my sister-in-law. It will be difficult for you to want her again in the future."
Li Huaide's mouth was a little bitter. This was not something he could worry about. His wife's land was not good. What could he do? He shook his head regretfully. Director Zhu saw that his brother-in-law seemed uninterested. He also knew the reason and quietly joined in with a smile. Come over.
"Brother-in-law, let me tell you a secret."
Li Huaide asked suspiciously when he saw his sister-in-law was mysterious.
"What a secret."
Director Zhu looked at the people coming and going in the gynecology department and pointed outside, "There are many people here. Let's talk after we go out. I'm sure you'll be willing to listen."
Li Huaide followed his sister-in-law out of the obstetrics and gynecology department with full of doubts. The two whispered for a while. It turned out that Li Huaide's wife secretly sought out the master of traditional Chinese medicine and discovered her own problem. She has been secretly recuperating according to the doctor's method for almost a year. After an examination a few days ago, the doctor said that her body was taking good care of herself and she would most likely be able to give birth, and told her to hurry up.
Li Huaide opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Really? Your sister told you? Why didn't you tell me?" Thinking of the occasional homecoming, the house was always filled with the smell of Chinese medicine, Li Huaide already knew it in his heart , this is 80% true.
Since Li Huaide took charge of the steel rolling mill, he now goes home less and less. He spends more than half of his time staying in the guest house and makes the factory his home. There is nothing wrong with it. There are many such leaders at this time, and Li Huaide really doesn't want to go back. Home, every time, the home is cold, and the two of them communicate less and less at home, but they still treat each other as guests in front of their parents.
"Of course it's true, brother-in-law. Speaking of which, I have to criticize you. You don't care about my sister too much. You didn't even notice such a big thing. My sister said that now you only go home two or three times a week. I fell asleep even when I got home. It's so outrageous, your steel rolling mill. Are you so busy? You should have a child as soon as possible. You don’t know. Although my sister didn’t say it, everyone knows that she wants a child. Didn’t you see her teasing Uncle Xiao every time she comes home? My little grandson, that look in his eyes..."
Li Huaide felt a little hesitant. The two of them hadn't had a child for many years. Because of his father-in-law, he didn't dare to bring it up at home. His wife seemed indifferent to having children. She seemed to let nature take its course and never mentioned it. It turned out that all this It's all her cover-up.
His wife has a strong personality and cares about appearance. She always strives to be the best at work and looks like a strong woman, but is taciturn at home. After listening to his sister-in-law, Li Huaide realized that all this was probably because she didn't have children.
Although the home is not warm and there seems to be a lack of family affection, divorce is impossible. Not to mention that divorce will now have multiple stigmas. Without the support of my father-in-law, the director of the Revolutionary Committee may be affected.
"My little sister is right to remind you. I have been busy with things in the factory these days and I have paid less attention to your sister. I will go back today after finishing the work for the unit. By the way, I really don't need to tell your dad about your matters. ?" Li Huaide seemed to accept Zhu Ying's suggestion seriously, and then smiled to attract his sister-in-law's attention.
"Brother-in-law, you should still care about my sister. We both have to worry about my affairs. Remember to care more about my sister..."
Zhu Ying reminded her brother-in-law with a smile, and the two of them left the hospital, pushing the car and talking in low voices as they walked away.
"You mean, you met your brother-in-law in the gynecology department?"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman who was making tea for her sister. The middle-aged woman was obviously a female cadre. Her hair was neat and neat, and she looked neat and tidy with a simple bun. Although her face has been baptized by the years, she still maintains a calmness and determination. The fine lines at the corners of her eyes seem to record the ups and downs she has experienced. His eyes were deep and powerful, revealing an imperceptible sharpness, as if he could see into people's hearts.
She is dressed simply and appropriately, wearing the usual dark blue cadre uniform. The tailoring of the clothes is simple and there are no unnecessary decorations, but every stitch and every thread reveals her rigor and seriousness.
"Well, I told my brother-in-law that you were taking care of yourself. He said that he would come back in the evening after finishing the work at work."
The woman had a subtle surprise, but she concealed it well and responded in a calm tone.
"In his current position, he has to deal with a lot of things every day. You don't have to force him to come back. In fact, it would be nice to be able to go home half the days a week. I'm used to it."
"But, second sister, you two can't continue like this. You are both in your early forties. Didn't the doctor say that you need to get it as soon as possible while your body recovers? He is not in a hurry, and neither are you."
< br>
Zhu Ying was a little anxious. It would be very difficult for this woman to have a child after she was over forty. If it weren't for the example of the former director of the subdistrict office, she wouldn't have the confidence to persuade her second sister to find a doctor. How about now? It's easy to see hope, but the second sister has this attitude. It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is, what the hell is this? The woman smiled and said, "This kind of thing can't be rushed. I haven't been able to do it for so many years. As soon as the doctor said there was hope, I really wanted to do it. Besides, didn't you have it? Dad would be happy if he knew about it. I am not so stressed. It doesn’t matter if you are young or not.”
"Second sister, you really don't understand good people. I won't pay attention to you. Anyway, I brought it to you. You can figure it out yourself." In front of the second sister, although he has been promoted to deputy director and is in charge of the work, Zhu Ying still looks like a little girl.
"Okay, okay, I know you are kind-hearted, little sister, and my sister wants it too. Otherwise, my sister would have been drinking such a bitter medicine for more than a year just to tease you. Thank you, sister. It's settled this way."< br>
Seeing her sister getting angry, the woman burst into laughter,
"Sister, you know how to bully me. I will go home with Xiao Xu in the evening. I will tell mom to go and take care of you." Zhu Ying still looked unconvinced. After she finished speaking, she also smiled.
Not to mention that the two sisters from the Zhu family were whispering, Qin Huairu, who had been tortured by the hospital examination, unexpectedly went home early today. She had already talked to Li Huaide this afternoon. Li Huaide seemed to be a little distracted when he got his examination results. He expressed concern for himself, but seemed to be a little depressed. Qin Huairu didn't think about it carefully. He knew that he was really in charge of the steel rolling mill. This kind of thing often happened when he was worried.
I still wanted to think about how to explain to Jia Zhang when I got home, but before I entered the house, I happened to meet Xiao Dang and Sophora japonica in the front yard, watching the crucian carp in the fish tank at the door of Zhu's house.
It's summer again, and Teacher Yan has caught a lot of fish and kept them in Zhu's water tank. This tank has been used exclusively for fish farming in his family, that is, it is not placed in front of his house. The water in the fish tank is still Zhu Laosi's. Beaten by Hanhan.
"Sister, why did you come back so early today? You haven't gotten off work yet."
When the two little girls saw their mother coming back, they quickly gave up on the crucian carp and surrounded her. Qin Huairu knelt down and hugged each other with each hand.
"Sister, I'm not feeling well today, please come back early."
"Sister, there is something I want to tell you." Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Qin Jingru knelt down, hugged the little Sophora japonica, and whispered.
"We can't talk about anything at home, we have to talk about it in the yard." Qin Huairu took Xiaodang's hand and stood up, wanting to go home. Qin Jingru also stood up, picked up Xiaohuaihua, and said anxiously .
"Sister, just tell me right here, your mother-in-law is at home, I don't want her to know."
"Then let's go to the market, just in time to buy some food." While talking about family matters in the yard, how could this be possible? Qin Huairu came up with an idea. Qin Jingru didn't mention that there was food at home, so she nodded and followed. The two sisters went out with their two children. to the compound.
It turned out that Qin Jingru felt that living in the Jia family was really awkward at night. Qin Huairu and Xu Damao lived on the big kang, and she slept on a temporary bed by herself. Banggeng also built a temporary bed in front of Jia Zhang's bed. The two rooms seemed too crowded, especially since she could clearly hear the conversation between her sister and her new brother-in-law at night, which made her very embarrassed.
"Do you want to live out? Have you found a place?" Qin Huairu actually felt very awkward. Fortunately, now that she was pregnant, she had an excuse. Xu Damao had no chance to torment him at home, otherwise his sister would hear the sound. Could be more embarrassing.
"That's the Zhu family. Their house has three wing rooms and one wing. Now only Zhu Laosi lives in it. They are all empty. As soon as I told him, he agreed, so I can move out and Banggeng will sleep at my place from now on. , to prevent your mother-in-law from scolding you all day long. Me, tell me, I came to serve her, and she even picked on her. What kind of thing is this? I can’t stand her. She talks dirty all the time. She always says that I’m a freeloader. Sister, I Is there a good salary? ”
Qin Jingru has obviously been holding back a lot of anger these days, and she can't stop talking about it. Qin Huairu knows very well that only the two sisters know about her sister's salary. This matter cannot be made public yet, and she has to wait for her own arrangements. Only when it is done properly can we find an opportunity for my sister to go to work legitimately.
"Sister, I have wronged you. Sister, thank you, but can Lao Zhu's family agree? Besides, you are a girl's family, and theirs is a young man. This is not appropriate. If this is revealed, you will not be able to marry in the future."
Qin Jingru's face turned red, but Qin Huairu pulled Xiao Dang and looked ahead without paying attention. She was asking in a low voice that the house in Lao Zhu's house was too empty, which made people jealous, but no one in the compound knew who it was. The idea of their house, except that Teacher Yan lent their house to the boss for his wedding a few years ago.
"Sister, I asked him, and he has no objection. Sister, don't worry, he doesn't even want the rent. Even if he says it's empty, it's empty. The wood of an unpopular house is easy to rot. He's looking forward to me going."
When Qin Huairu heard this, she was a little surprised. She turned around and glanced at her sister holding the little Sophora japonica. There was a hint of dodge in her eyes. Qin Huairu was more cautious and asked as if nothing had happened.
"It would be more appropriate to let Banggeng take the younger brothers and sisters. The old lady can be more relaxed on the kang, and it won't be long for the little girl to squeeze in with the old lady."
Qin Jingru quickly shook her head and objected, "Sister, you don't know Bangge yet. I probably won't go even if I kill him, so don't ask. I've thought about what you said. I won't go to their wing or those three houses." It’s all accessible, so it’s not appropriate for me to go there, but the eldest son of the Yan family lived there when he got married. I looked at it and found that except for the lack of furniture, everything else is fine. You can live in it after just tidying it up, and it has heating in winter.”< br>
There is some truth in what her sister said. Qin Huairu couldn't fault it, but she still felt a little uncomfortable. A few months ago, Xu Damao brought people to find Zhu Xuefeng to trouble him. This was before getting married to her. By chance, she learned from Li Huaide. heard it.
In fact, she supported Li Huaide when he tormented Lao Yang. In her heart, Lao Yang had often made things difficult for her, and she hated Lao Yang. But when Xu Damao went to deal with Zhu Xuefeng, she had some reservations, but Xu Damao It was very secretive at the time, and there was not much publicity about the incident afterwards.
Xu Damao is causing trouble for Zhu Xuefeng. Can his family still agree to let his family borrow their house? It seems that Zhu Xuefeng kept this matter secret and did not tell their fourth child that he and Xu Damao were now members of the same family. If this was made clear, it would be really weird.
No, you have to find an opportunity to express your attitude to Zhu Xuefeng. The evil done by Xu Damao is his own business, and he has no knowledge of it. Yes, he is firmly opposed to it.
Qin Huairu knew that he and Xu Damao would not grow up. According to Li Huaide's plan, as long as Qin Huairu's pregnancy was revealed, his work as a tool would be over, and he would get divorced for various reasons. This was an advantage for him. Once, Zhizhizi should be able to understand that there is nothing we can do about it.
The tool in Qin Huairu's eyes was also in a rented courtyard at this time. There were three men in front of him, a slightly older middle-aged man and two young and strong men.
