Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Hearing this, He Yudong was stunned for a moment.

Borrowing seeds has occurred in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and has even become a default custom in rural areas of China.

It has been a bad habit for many years.

After all, in a clan society based on farming, fists represent power, security, strength and wealth.

Even in later generations, it is not that there is no such thing, but with the advancement of science and technology, it has become "artificial".

He Yudong gently lifted Yu Li's chin.

"Sister Yu Li, is this your own plan?"

Yu Li froze, her eyes rolling.

"Brother Yudong, please help sister." She softened her voice and attitude, "If a man comes down, I have something to look forward to. I promise not to disturb you in the future, okay?"

He Yudong chuckled.

"Giving birth to a boy who looks like me, Sister Yu Li, do you think you can keep this matter a secret?"

"Sister Yu Li, if you break your shoes, your head will be shaved and you will be paraded on the street."

"Maybe... he will be stoned to death."

Yu Li trembled all over and shook his hand angrily.

"I know, you dislike me. If you don't like it, you won't be happy. Why are you trying to scare me?"

He Yudong smiled lightly.

"My wife is still waiting for my meal. Sister Yu Li, I'm leaving first. I will seriously consider what you say."

Yu Li stood under the eaves in a daze, feeling uneasy as she watched He Yudong carry the thermos bucket, lock the door leisurely, and leave leisurely.

What does He Yudong think?

He Yudong had no idea.

If he was not married and had children, and Yu Li came to his door like this, it would be just a matter of fun with her. But now that he had a family and a family, and Yu Li still had the idea of ​​borrowing seeds, he had to be more cautious.

After all, these days are what he cherishes the most.

Ran Qiuye drank a bowl of porridge cleanly and smiled sheepishly.

"Brother Dong, I'm troubling you again."

"Tsk, what are you talking about? You are not my wife? Isn't the child in your belly my child?" He Yudong pretended to be angry, "Don't be so polite to me."

Ran Qiuye leaned into his arms with a blushing face.

"Brother Dong, look at this."

She took out a small bellyband, no bigger than an adult's hand, and it was obviously for babies.

The bellyband is made of kneaded soft cotton cloth, and the stitches are on the outside, which will never rub against the baby's delicate skin. On the outside of the bellyband, a few needles are used to outline a bamboo pole.

"Is it for our child? It's so small."

He Yudong was a little surprised.

"I don't know how big the child's things should be. It was Aunt Dou who taught me. She also embroidered this bellyband."

Aunt Dou lives in a row of three rooms behind Ran's small courtyard. Her family's background is not good, and the son and daughter-in-law who are the head of the family have been sent to the countryside. She is alone, living with a little grandson and a little granddaughter.

Although you have an urban household registration and have a share of commercial grain, you still have to spend money to buy grain. Aunt Dou used to be an embroiderer, and she has good skills, but how many people can go out to make clothes these days?

Even if you do it, you will have to pull the cloth and make it yourself. If you can't do it yourself, you will go to a state-owned tailor shop to do it. In short, you will not go to her.

Aunt Dou could only take on small jobs such as sewing and mending for bachelors, earning a few cents at a time, which was barely enough to survive.

It was a difficult life, and because of the ingredients, they were squeezed out all day long and couldn't get enough to eat. The two children were both "big-headed" and their bodies were like reed sticks.

She still had some good things from home in her hands, but now she had to send them to the ghost market one after another to exchange for food. This was how He Yudong knew her.

After asking around again, hey, he lived close to Ran's courtyard, and he had such a rich family background, so he could handle it.

Simply, just exchange seventy kilograms of whole grains a month and invite Aunt Dou to come over and be Ran Qiuye's companion.

Using food instead of money would not be said to be capitalist style, it would just be asking an experienced old man to help and take care of pregnant women.

It's not that Ran Qiuye is squeamish, it's just that neither of them has a female elder around them. They have to pay attention to what they need to pay attention to during pregnancy and childbirth, but they always look at each other with black eyes.

For example, in the most obvious way, Ran Qiuye said he was making children's clothes, but he couldn't even determine the size. After all, she had only seen children that had grown to a certain extent. She really didn't know the size of babies.

It was Aunt Dou who taught me step by step, and from time to time she even helped make two items.

Aunt Dou is also very grateful.

This seventy kilograms of coarse grains is equivalent to five or six yuan. But if you give her money, she will definitely not dare to accept it for fear of being reported. But she was very willing to pay for it with food. After all, even if she was given money, her food stamps would not be enough.

Now, with the grain she received, plus the monthly commercial grain, she and her children can at least have enough to eat.

This time, it is considered mutually beneficial to both parties.

At least, this Aunt Dou reassured He Yudong that he was not short of the seventy kilograms of whole grains.

Aunt Dou also knew that she could only rely on He Yudong to take a breather and live a decent life. Therefore, that kind of work is called a diligent and dedicated person.

You have been pregnant for ten months anyway. After the birth, someone still has to take care of Ran Qiuye during the confinement period, right? He Yudong is a grown man and still has a job. It will definitely be inconvenient to do this, so Aunt Dou must come.

And washing diapers...

Thinking that Ran Qiuye was carrying two diapers this time, there must be a huge amount of diapers to change.

Aunt Dou will definitely have to work hard for this job.

It was He Yudong's luck to find such a person.

If the three aunts in the courtyard were replaced...the three families each have their own needs, haha, it wouldn't be enough to worry about.

Aunt Dou is also happy. After calculation, the child will have to stay in the mother's belly for at least seven months, plus the confinement period, it will be a year younger no matter what. This year, her family doesn't have to worry about food rations.

As for after...

Hey, it seems like He Yudong and his wife are in need of money. If she does a good job, maybe she can stay? Why can't I take his child to kindergarten?

By then, maybe his family will have a second child!

He Yudong's wife and Mrs. Dou's family are mutually beneficial, and both parties are very satisfied.

Ran Qiuye couldn't smell the fume and would vomit when he smelled it, while He Yudong had to go to work, so it was unrealistic to eat in a state-owned restaurant all the time.

Therefore, in addition to He Yudong cooking something fresh for the evening meal, during the day Ran Qiuye would eat a boiled egg or egg custard as a meat dish, paired with a steamed bun with Erhe noodles, blanch some vegetables in white water, and add two drops of sesame oil to cool it.

It's simple, but it's at a level that most people can't eat.

That’s one egg a day! Even the steamed buns of Erhe Noodles are made from fine grains, not to mention that the cold dishes also contain sesame oil and soy sauce.

Ran Qiuye never dreamed that she could live such a life in such an environment.

Moreover, He Yudong specially hired someone to accompany her.

It was such a good day that she thought she was dreaming.

The other woman was really daydreaming.

It's Yu Li.

They were all from the same factory. He Yudong traveled back and forth every day just to cook a meal for Ran Qiuye, and even hired someone to help take care of her. This matter spread quickly.

Everyone in the compound knew it.

The three aunts secretly and overtly signaled to He Yudong that he should take care of Aunt Dou and hire them to take good care of her.

He Yudong smiled and said nothing.

Grandpa Yi Zhonghai's family relies on people to support them in their old age. If they hire someone from his family, they might brainwash Ran Qiuye into turning towards them. It would really be a bit troublesome if Ran Qiuye gave him pillow wind.

The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, was ambitious and talented. He secretly wanted He Yudong to put in good words for him and promote him in front of the boss. Asking his family to take care of Ran Qiuye was equivalent to putting a hostage in their hands.

As for the third uncle...hehe, the third aunt is afraid that she wants to smuggle all the rice, flour, grains and oils stored over there to her home!

Yu Li could also guess what He Yudong was thinking. The thought of him being so gentle, considerate and considerate for another woman felt like a fire was burning in her heart.

Finally, she couldn't stand the torture anymore and went to He Yudong's house again.
