Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

"Let's hold the banquet in the courtyard. I'll have to trouble my brother-in-law to cook."

Ye Fei thought about it and made a decision.

In tense times, no one knows how many eyes are watching them from behind. Even though he has a backer, he should be more careful in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Okay, then I'll ask Xiao Kai to help me. I've been teaching him for so long, he should be almost ready."

Sha Zhu agreed immediately.

The baby was born in the morning and was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon. This time, Ye Fei directly found a cart. He Yushui wore a headscarf on her head and was wrapped tightly inside and out.

As for the child, he was held by Zhao Ying, and they returned to the courtyard together.

"Yushui, have you named the child yet?"

Zhao Ying held the child in her arms and when she saw that the child had fallen asleep, she put the child on the bed and asked a question casually.

"Well, your full name is Ye Xiaole, and your nickname is Lele."

He Yushui quickly said that fortunately when they were thinking of a name for the child, they thought of two more boys' names, just in case.

Unexpectedly, this thing would actually come in handy.

You know, they had always hoped to have a girl, so they picked more than 20 girls' names, but in the end none of them were used.

With a slight sigh, He Yushui could only accept his fate.

"what happened?"

"Sister-in-law, don't you know that Ye Fei and I came up with more than 20 girls' names, but none of them were used? Don't you think it's a loss?"

He Yushui couldn't help but complain.

After hearing this, Zhao Ying was somewhat amused:

"If you didn't use it this time, you can always use it next time. Besides, your first child is a boy, so you can protect your sister in the future."

"Yes, being a boy does have its advantages. As a brother, I must protect my sister." Hearing what Zhao Ying said, He Yushui instantly changed his mind and his heart suddenly became bright.

Although we didn’t give birth to a girl this time, we can have one next time. By then, the little sister will have a brother to protect her. How great is that.

After He Yushui came to terms with it, she was no longer frowning, and there was more tenderness in her eyes when she looked at Lele.

"I'll make you some brown sugar water. You lie down for a while."

When she had just given birth, her body was weak, and brown sugar water was a good thing for her. When she was in confinement, she drank a bowl of brown sugar water every day with two poached eggs in the bowl. Originally, her mother asked her to eat four or five brown sugar eggs at a meal, three meals a day, but she got tired of them after two days, so she changed it to two eggs a day. In addition, Sha Zhu would stew a lot of soups every day, so her body did not suffer.

Zhao Ying cooked a bowl of brown sugar water and two eggs and brought them directly to He Yushui:

"Eat and replenish your body. Your brother is making fish soup for you."

He Yushui actually prefers to drink white sugar water. Now that she has a child, she knows that brown sugar water is a must, so she doesn't make a fuss about it and just eats and drinks as she pleases.

When the third aunt came over, she saw that He Yu had only two eggs in his bowl and said quickly:

"Two eggs are too few. We need to eat four or five eggs in one meal. Our bodies are weak after giving birth. We must eat more good food to make up for it."

"Two is already a lot, four or five for one meal? I think I can turn into an egg myself."

After hearing this, He Yushui quickly refused. Too much is as bad as too little. His body was weak and he did need some nourishment, but he couldn't do it like this.

"You kid, isn't that good for your health?"

"No, eating two a day is already good enough. If I eat that much in one meal, I will definitely collapse."

He Yushui shook her head without thinking and looked at Zhao Ying, fearing that her sister-in-law would really listen to her words, and then she would be in trouble.

"Auntie, two eggs are actually not bad. Sha Zhu makes soup for her every day. Tonight he made fish soup, which is nutritious enough."

Zhao Ying saw the look her sister-in-law gave her and explained.

The third aunt thought about it and realized that it was true. Given Ye Fei's family conditions, how could they possibly suffer from the rain?

These people eat several eggs during the confinement period because compared to meat, eggs are relatively cheap, so they don't feel bad about eating a few eggs. However, they can't bear to drink fish soup, chicken soup, or even pork rib soup.

After realizing this, the third aunt stopped trying to persuade him further. She gave him a few more instructions before leaving.

"The third aunt is quite generous now. This time she actually took a bag of eggs, a packet of brown sugar, and a piece of cloth. She really spent a lot of money."

Sha Zhu took a look at the things on the table and made a casual complaint.

"Third aunt and her husband are now really clear-headed. Compared to before, they are doing much better." Ye Fei nodded in agreement. Apart from anything else, his relationship with Yu Li has eased a lot.

Ye Fei has always believed in one thing, that is, no matter what kind of relationship it is, friends, family, or anything else, it all requires mutuality.

……

The news that He Yushui had given birth to a boy spread throughout the courtyard. In addition to the three aunts who came on the first day, other people also came to see the child one after another. Some brought eggs, some brought cloth, and some brought other things. In short, they all came to express their love.

Qin Huairu hesitated for a long time, and finally found a new piece of cloth from the bottom of the box.

"Sister, what are you going to do?"

When Qin Jingru saw Qin Huairu's behavior, she asked hurriedly, could it be that her sister wanted to give a gift to He Yushui?

"Didn't He Yushui give birth? I have to go see her."

"Isn't our relationship with her not so good? Why do you still want to go?"

Qin Jingru was a little confused. Their relationship wasn't very good to begin with, so there was no need to give gifts to others, right? !

"We are all from the same courtyard. Everyone else has gone, so why shouldn't I go?

You'll see him everywhere, so you have to pretend."

"what?"

Qin Jingru opened her mouth in surprise, then thought that they lived closer, both in the backyard, and asked hesitantly:

"Then should I also give a gift?"

"It depends on your own opinion. I think it's best to give a gift. You and Xu Damao are married but don't have any children yet. If you give a gift now, they will return it after you two have children. It won't be a loss, and you can also save face. What do you think?"

Qin Jingru explained it patiently, and as soon as she heard it, she immediately understood Zhao Zhongqi's twists and turns.

"Then I'll go back and discuss it with Damao."

Overall, there is no loss in this matter, and I think Xu Damao will agree.

"Well, let's go."

Qin Huairu said this, and looking at Qin Jingru's back, she felt a little relieved.

Now Qin Jingru and Xu Damao quarrel every other day, and every time they do, they come to her. Although Qin Jingru is indeed very capable, she doesn't need it at all. She feels disadvantaged when she has to take care of one more person's meals every time.
