Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Just as a few people were chatting, He Yushui and his wife walked in from outside, holding an aluminum pot in their hands, which should be chicken soup or some other tonic.

At the same time, her man was holding a lunch box in his strong hand, probably preparing dinner for He Daqing and the others.

Seeing this, Sun Zhengguo quickly stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Uncle He, you and your family should eat first. I'll leave first. See you later."

"Will you sit for a while?" He Daqing quickly stood up and prepared to see him off.

"No, don't send me off. You guys are busy."

He Yushui also hurriedly greeted him at this time, "Brother Zhengguo, have you eaten? Otherwise, why don't you stay and eat before leaving."

"No, no." Sun Zhengguo waved his hand and refused.

As for Na Qiang who was standing next to them, it was the first time they met.

Both parties nodded in agreement, and then Sun Zhengguo left the ward.

……

the other side.

Xu Damao, who had just returned from a walk, was supporting his wife and just walked to the door when he heard a very unfortunate news.

Sha Zhu has a son.

To be honest, the person in this courtyard who least wants his son to stay stupid is none other than Xu Damao.

After hearing the news, the two did not stay at the door, but walked home silently.

When she returned home, Qin Jingru saw that Xu Damao looked worried, and she knew that he was still thinking about the fact that Sha Zhu had a son.

So she could only carefully comfort him, "Brother Damao, I'm going to give birth soon, maybe it'll be a son, there's no need to compare yourself with anyone else."

"That's true." Xu Damao felt a little better when he saw his wife's big belly.

At the same time, I secretly hoped that it must be a son, it must be a son, I can't be outdone by that fool.

……

Three days later, Sha Zhu took his wife and children home and started bragging about it to everyone he met.

"Aunt Chen, look how much my son looks like me. He has a strong head and a big body. He will definitely have a bright future when he grows up."

"Uncle Li, you haven't seen that little guy in my family is not only strong, but also cries loudly, just like our factory director giving a report in a meeting."

……

After a few days, the people in the compound had already gotten used to it and just smiled faintly.

But Xu Damao was very angry.

What does this mean? Are you trying to compete with me? It's just a son, isn't it? You dare to challenge me everywhere.

Okay, okay, then let’s go for it and compete with you.

That day, Xu Damao had just returned from the countryside. Before he could enter the yard, he was stopped by Aunt Yan at the door.

"Da Mao, why did you come back just now? Come on, your wife has been sent to the hospital, and I don't know if she has given birth yet. Auntie has been waiting for you here! Just to give you the news."

As she spoke, Aunt Yan's eyes never left Xu Damao's handlebars, which were hung with a bag full of local specialties.

"Oh! Thank you, Aunt Yan. It's true that good neighbors are as good as gold. Take this as a token of your gratitude."

The sweet-talking Xu Damao was not stingy and handed over a bunch of dried mushrooms.

"Ouch! How can I be so embarrassed? What have I done to me?"

Although Aunt Yan speaks in a grand manner, she is not at all open and honest in her actions.

She took the mushroom and smiled even more brightly, "Thank you, Damao."

"It's my duty." After saying this, Xu Damao didn't have time to waste any more time and hurried home.

After he put down the local specialties in the car, he quickly went to the hospital...

At this time, Qin Jingru, who was in the hospital, was sent to the delivery room. The accompanying Xu Fugui and his wife could only stand in the corridor, waiting anxiously.

"Master, why hasn't our son come yet?"

Xu Lianxiang was getting a little impatient waiting, so she asked Xu Fugui who was sitting next to her.

"Don't worry, it's almost time."

Xu Fugui, an old projectionist, knew the process of showing movies in the countryside, so he stood by to comfort them.

……

The couple chatted casually.

About ten minutes later, it was already a critical moment in the delivery room. Qin Jingru's moans of pain became louder and louder.

This made Xu Fugui, the nominal grandfather and actual father, suddenly nervous, fearing that something bad might happen.

Just then, Xu Damao came jogging over from the other side of the corridor.

He didn't even have time to catch his breath before asking, "Mom and Dad, what's the situation now?"

"I've been in there for more than ten minutes, and I don't know anything about it?" Xu Fugui spread his hands, looking helpless.

Xu Lianxiang was lying on the door of the delivery room, trying to listen to see if there was any movement.

But apart from Qin Jingru's moans, nothing could be heard inside.

Just like that, the number of people worried at the door went from two to three.

As time passed, and I didn't know how much time had passed, suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from the delivery room.

Hearing the baby's cry, the three people at the door smiled, but at the same time they prayed silently in their hearts that it must be a boy.

Unfortunately, God was probably working overtime at the KTV and didn’t hear their prayers.

Because Qin Jingru in the delivery room gave birth to a baby girl at this time.

After asking the doctor, Qin Jingru was quite disappointed and tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of her eyes.

But what can be done?

There was nothing she could do as her belly refused to bulge. There was nothing she could do except cry.

The two midwives hurriedly handled everything and pushed the adults and children out of the delivery room.

"Doctor, what's going on?" The three people at the door surrounded him instantly.

The midwife knew that most families favored boys over girls, so she didn't say anything to congratulate him, but just replied calmly.

"Everything is normal, mother and daughter are safe."

OK! With just this simple sentence, the faces of the three people froze.

In the end, it was Xu Lianxiang who was quick to take the child. Xu Fugui pushed his daughter-in-law to the ward, and then Xu Damao carried his wife to the bed.

After that, no one spoke in the room and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

Xu Lianxiang saw that this was not a solution, so she had to stand up again and take the initiative to comfort the father and son.

"I say, don't be like this. Even though this baby is a girl, we can just have another one. I just don't believe that we can't have a boy."

After hearing what his wife said, Xu Fugui's eyes lit up.

Because according to the agreement between the couple, he could only help to have one child, and the other two had to be completely cut off.

Now that my wife has spoken, does that mean there will be endless possibilities in the future???

Xu Fugui then advised his son, "Da Mao, your mother is right. You are still young. At most, you can have more children in the future. There is no need to care about whether the first child is a boy or a girl."

"Hey~! This is the only way. Jingru, don't worry. I'm just afraid that Shazhu will laugh at me when he gets back. I don't mean anything else."

No matter how unwilling Xu Damao was, he had to express his position at this moment.

If he lets his wife down, who will help him give birth in the future?

As for being laughed at by Sha Zhu when he returns? That is unavoidable. At worst, he can just play another round. He may not lose if he makes a bet.

Qin Jingru was relieved to see that the three of them had calmed down.

The next step was to name the child. The four of them seemed to be on the same page and didn't need to think too much.

Thus, Xu Zhaodi's name was gloriously born.

It can be seen that this family, including Qin Jingru herself, holds a serious patriarchal mentality.
