The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Third Auntie, you are here just in time. Please help my mom."

Seeing the third aunt coming to help, Liu Minghui did not refuse and asked her to lead the way for Liu's mother.

"okay."

The third aunt went to help Liu's mother boil eggs.

In the room, Yu Li was holding the baby. A newborn baby only does three things: eat, sleep, and poop. At this time, Yu Li was feeding the baby.

After Liu Minghui came in, he came to Yu Li and looked at her happily.

"Why are you here? Are the neighbors outside gone?"

Seeing Liu Minghui come in, Yu Li asked.

"Dispersed, I don't know what's so good about it, these people are just too idle."

Liu Minghui was teasing his son. The newborn baby's eyes seemed not to be open yet, and he was still squinting. It was unknown whether he could see or not.

"Don't tease the child here. Think of a name for your son first."

"This, I need to think about it carefully."

Liu Minghui said, scratching his head.

In the afternoon, with the help of the three aunts, Liu's mother gave each family a few red eggs, that is, boiled eggs and then painted the eggs red.

In the evening, when the neighbors came home from get off work, they all knew about this. When Liu Minghui was in the yard, neighbors came up to congratulate him.

"Minghui, this is a happy event. I wonder if we should hold a full-month banquet for the child."

Of course the one who wanted to join the feast was Yan Bugui in the front yard.

As soon as Yan Bugui came back, he heard from his third aunt that Yu Li had given birth to a boy. Yan Bugui hurried over to ask Liu Minghui if he wanted to have a wedding banquet.

"Uncle, let's forget about it now."

Liu Minghui doesn't want to attract attention. You know, the quota has been reduced now. If Liu Minghui still holds a banquet, people will report him.

"Moreover, the higher-ups are advocating frugality and putting an end to extravagant spending. As a cadre, I should take the lead."

Liu Minghui said this sternly and righteously, which stopped Yan Bugui from trying to persuade him.

You can't say that Yan Bugui doesn't support the policy.

"Yes, yes, it's still not done well."

Yan Bugui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Yan Bugui didn't expect that Liu Minghui would speak Mandarin in a very coherent way.

"Uncle, don't worry. Auntie has been busy all afternoon. I'll treat you to a drink some other day."

Liu Minghui quickly gave Yan Bugui some sweet treats. He couldn't let the third aunt help him for nothing.

"Then the third uncle will be waiting."

When Yan Bugui heard that he could have a drink for free, he said with a smile.

"Minghui, congratulations. You will be a father in the future."

Xu Damao came over and congratulated Liu Minghui with an envious expression on his face.

"Da Mao, what's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Seeing Xu Damao's expression, Liu Minghui also said with a smile.

"Of course, I also want to get married, but my parents said they would find one for me, but it's been so long and there's still no news."

Xu Damao complained about his parents. His father had mentioned this matter last year, but more than half of the year has passed and there is still no resolution to the matter.

When Liu Minghui heard what Xu Damao said, he immediately understood that Xu's father and the other man were probably trying to find a way to introduce Xu Damao to the Lou family.

I guess it's because Xu's mother works for the Lou family and she's taking advantage of the situation.

"Da Mao, maybe your parents are planning to find you a lady from a wealthy family. This will take some time."

"That's not certain."

Xu Damao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also came over to congratulate Liu Minghui. Liu Minghui also chatted with them for a few words and agreed to treat them to a drink later.

At night, Yu Li originally wanted to wash her body, but was stopped by Liu's mother, who said that she should not touch water or be blown by wind during the confinement period, otherwise she would develop a serious illness.

In the end, Yu Li could only change into clean clothes and go to sleep.

The next morning, Liu Minghui, who had been tormented by the child for most of the night, got up, looked at Yu Li who was sleeping soundly, and then looked at the child beside her.

Liu Minghui was thinking about what name to give his son. Looking at his chubby son, he thought that since Yu Li had not lacked nutrition when she was pregnant, the child was born bigger than other children's.

"Or we can give him a nickname called Chubby, and let dad choose his real name when we get back to our hometown."

Thinking of this, Liu Minghui felt that it was a good idea.

"Okay, that's it."

Liu Minghui clapped his hands and muttered.

"What's settled?"

Yu Li heard someone talking in a daze. When she stood up, she saw Liu Minghui sitting next to her and talking about something.

"Daughter-in-law, you wake up."

Seeing that Yu Li had woken up, Liu Minghui helped her up.

"I gave our son a nickname, Chubby. What do you think?"

"Fatty, that's quite an image. You have the final say."

Yu Li didn't object because she thought it was good.

"Let the child's grandfather choose the name."

Liu Minghui talked about his plan again, and Yu Li had no objection to it.

“Wow….Wow…”

"My son is awake again, go check and see if he has defecated."

When Yu Li saw Pang Pang crying, she ordered Liu Minghui to work.

Liu Minghui skillfully picked up Pangpang and checked him. Liu Minghui had changed him twice last night, so he barely knew what to do.

"No, he must be hungry. Feed him."

Liu Minghui saw that the baby's butt was dry, so he gave Pangpang to Yu Li.

Then Yu Li fed Pangpang in the room. Liu Minghui got up and went outside. Liu's mother got up early today.

An old hen was killed early to make soup, and Liu Minghui raised four or five chickens in the ear room to lay eggs, mainly for the family to eat. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for the whole family to eat steamed buns and pickles every day and have rosy faces.

These chickens can be concealed, and everyone in the compound knows about it, but they can't afford to raise them. The city is not like the countryside where chickens can be let out to find food. Here they can only be fed vegetable leaves or grains, which they cannot accept.

"Mom, I'm cooking."

Liu Minghui came to the kitchen, took a look and said.

"Well, I stewed a chicken and will give it to Yu Li later."

Liu's mother was concentrating on watching the fire and did not turn around to look at Liu Minghui.

Liu Minghui didn't care. He picked up the toothbrush and went to brush his teeth. At the door, Liu Minghui met He Yuzhu. They greeted each other casually and then walked away.

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Minghui with envy, thinking that he was two years older than Liu Minghui, but now Liu Minghui had a child, but he hadn't even found a wife yet, and now the auntie wouldn't introduce him to anyone.

This gave He Yuzhu a headache.

"Hey, when will this day end?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and walked out of the courtyard.

Liu Minghui went to work after breakfast. He only asked for two days off from the factory. Yu Li, Liu's mother, was taking care of him at home so he didn't have to worry.
