Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

That night, Lin Wencui and Sun Zhengan stayed behind to provide care, while the rest of the people all went home.

The next morning, Sun Zhengguo did not go to the hospital, but went directly to work. He happened to register for his brother and took two days off.

At the same time, Lin Wencui and her youngest son also returned to the courtyard.

Seeing this, several middle-aged women at the door quickly gathered over.

"Auntie, has your daughter-in-law given birth?"

"Yes, it was born. It was born last night." Although Lin Wencui looked a little tired, she still answered happily.

As soon as Aunt Chen saw Lin Wencui's expression, she immediately knew that she must have given birth to a big fat boy, so she immediately gave her blessings.

"Congratulations! His mother, judging from your expression, there must be a new baby in the family, right?"

"Haha! Aunt Chen, thanks to you, my daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy last night, weighing more than 6 kilograms!"

When she said this, the wrinkles around Lin Wencui's eyes became noticeably more pronounced, showing how happy she was.

Well, the remaining aunts, even if they are unhappy, must send their blessings on this occasion.

"Congratulations! Auntie, your family is so blessed. Both of your daughters-in-law gave birth to big fat boys. It's really enviable."

“Congratulations…!”

"..."

"Thank you all for your blessings, thank you everyone." Lin Wencui also responded politely.

Because she still had to go to work, she just said a few words quickly, went back to the room to wash up, and then went to work as usual.

Soon, the news that the Sun family had a new baby spread throughout the compound.

In the middle courtyard of the Jia family, Qin Huairu had just finished her meal and was resting in the room because her belly was getting bigger and bigger.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Qin Jingru came in trotting, talking gossipingly.

"Sister, let me tell you a piece of news. The daughter-in-law of the Sun family in the front yard has given birth. I heard that she gave birth to a big fat boy."

"Really?" Qin Huairu said enviously, stroking her belly.

She is about to give birth in the next few days, and her desire to have a son is stronger than anyone else.

Because a girl will eventually get married, and only a son can be her greatest support in the future.

If your son dares to be unfilial in the future, others will stab you to death.

In fact, Qin Huairu didn't know that when his son grew up, the trends would change and no one would have the time to care about this trivial matter.

This is just like moral kidnapping. As long as I don’t care, you can’t do anything to me.

"Of course it's true, sister. You don't know. It's spread all over the hospital. It can't be false because it was said by the aunt herself."

After hearing what her cousin said, Qin Huairu nodded and asked with hope on her face.

"Hey! Jingru, I want to ask you, do you think I can give birth to a son this time?"

"Sister, I can't really say for sure, but there is a Zhang Banxian in the village next to us. They say he has a magical water. As long as you drink it, you will give birth to a son."

After hearing what Qin Jingru said, Qin Huairu also remembered this man. It was said that he was very powerful and that as long as one asked sincerely, he would give magical water.

Although the country does not allow the existence of feudal superstition, people like Zhang Banxian are everywhere among the people, and even the village cadres turn a blind eye to them.

It would be a lie for Qin Huairu to say that she was not moved, so she said in a low voice.

"Jingru, why don't you do me a favor and go to the countryside to get some spiritual water. As long as I give birth to a son this time, I will definitely help you find a good family in the city in the future."

"Sister, but...?"

"But what? Don't you want to help me?" Qin Huairu said impatiently.

"No, sister, you misunderstood. It's easy to ask for spiritual water, but that Banxian Zhang has a merit box and needs donations. He mainly wants to see how sincere you are..."

OK! It seems that Zhang Banxian, the old charlatan, is very good at guessing people's hearts. No matter how much you donate, if you can't have a son, he will have a set of excuses waiting for you.

But Qin Huairu didn't understand all this. In order to give birth to a son, she tried her best. She took out 5 yuan from the box with great heartache.

But she thought again, afraid that her sincerity was not enough, so she put the 5 yuan back, then resolutely took out a big black ten, and finally handed it to her cousin reluctantly.

"Jingru, you know that your brother-in-law just passed away not long ago, and our family is not well off. Take this 10 yuan, don't lose it, and help me go to the countryside to get some spiritual water."

Qin Jingru took the 10 yuan tremblingly, and she was extremely shocked at the moment.

After all, she had never received such a large amount of money in her life.

No wonder country girls are willing to marry in the city. Any poor man who comes to ask for some spiritual water is willing to donate 10 yuan for incense money. Can you imagine it?

In fact, Qin Jingru was a little wrong in blaming her cousin for this. Qin Huairu had no choice but to do this?

After all, people want to see your sincerity, but no one knows how to price sincerity.

If Qin Huairu knew that the sincerity of the country people was only worth 1 cents or cents, or even a few cents, I wonder how she would feel?

After receiving this arduous and costly task of having a child, Qin Jingru immediately prepared to take the bus back home. Of course, the travel expenses had to be paid by Qin Huairu, otherwise she would have no money.

Qin Huairu's mood did not improve until Qin Jingru left. She seemed to have foreseen that her little son was waving at her.

Let’s talk about Qin Jingru. She has a huge sum of money at the moment. Although she has already boarded the bus to the countryside, no one she sees as a good person.

Her right hand never left the bag, and the 10 yuan was tightly held in her hand as a double insurance.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. After a bumpy ride, the car finally arrived in the countryside safely around noon.

To be on the safe side, Qin Jingru didn't even go back home, but walked directly to the next village.

When she arrived at Zhang Banxian's house, she happened to meet the real person.

At this moment, Zhang Banxian was smiling as he saw off a customer.

"You are Zhang Banxian, right? I'm from Qinjia Village next door, and I'd like to come here to ask for some spiritual water." As soon as Qin Jingru arrived, she quickly introduced herself.

Zhang Banxian looked at Qin Jingru in confusion. He knew the business of asking for spiritual water. Those who were asking for it were all preparing to have a son!

But how old is this girl in front of me? Is she preparing to stock up in advance???

Seeing Zhang Banxian's expression, Qin Jingru blushed and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, Zhang Daxian, I'm asking for this on behalf of my cousin. She's about to give birth and can't come."

When Zhang Banxian heard this, he realized that this was a business opportunity, so he quickly switched to the pretentious mode of an expert and corrected it.

"Hey! Girl, don't talk nonsense. I'm not Zhang Daxian, but Zhang Banxian. I can't break the taboo. Since you have something to say, let's go inside and talk."

This kind of masterly temperament made Qin Jingru stunned.

However, the only flaw is that Zhang Banxian's row of big yellow teeth ruins his superior image.

"Okay! Thank you, Master Zhang."

Qin Jingru didn't pay attention to these, she agreed happily, and then followed Zhang Banxian into the house.
