The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Easy home.

Gao Shuzhen returned home and prepared dinner. At the dinner table, she told Yi Zhonghai that Zhang Xiaoyu was pregnant.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. In a blink of an eye, he was about to hold his grandson.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai happy, Gao Shuzhen added fuel to the fire and handed him the results of the examination in the hospital along with a report.

After seeing this, Yi Zhonghai's face was instantly filled with excitement and joy. "Shuzhen, this means that your illness can be cured and you can get pregnant in the future?" He was going to be a grandfather and a father at the same time, and he was so happy.

"Well, but the doctor said that I have to recuperate for a month before I can go for surgery. But there is always hope." Gao Shuzhen said with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai happily hugged Gao Shuzhen. "That's great, it's really great! We can finally have a child."

He knew clearly that the child born from Zhang Xiaoyu's pregnancy would eventually have to be named Jia, not Yi. To pass on the family tradition and establish a family, they still needed a child born by the couple.

"Okay, let's eat quickly, the food will get cold soon." Gao Shuzhen gently pushed Yi Zhonghai, then thought of the doctor's instructions. "Oh, Old Yi, the doctor said that we are too old to have a child, so it's best if you also go for a check-up to make sure both of you are fine, then the baby is almost certain."

"Okay, okay~ I'll listen to the doctor and go this weekend."

The two sat down, eating and looking forward to the future.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but say, "The exam will be held at the end of the year soon. I've been promoted to senior worker for more than a year. I'm going to try to get promoted again (senior workers are also divided into different levels) and save more money. When the baby is born, we must eat and drink well."

Gao Shuzhen looked at Yi Zhonghai tenderly. "As long as they are full, that's enough. I just want my child to grow up healthy and happy. Nothing else matters."

"Yes, health is the most important thing. No, I need to think carefully and come up with a nice name."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai dropped his bowl, excitedly took out paper and pen, and began to write and draw.

Gao Shuzhen looked at his excitement, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Old Yi, it's still early, kid, let's eat first."

"There's no rush to eat..."

Inspired by this, Gao Shuzhen couldn't help but put down her bowl and came over. "Old Yi, how many names are you going to give the child?"

"I just wrote a few more so that we can choose more!" Yi Zhonghai replied without raising his head.

Gao Shuzhen looked at the densely packed names on the paper, her heart filled with longing.

She pointed at one of the names and said, "Old Yi, what do you think of the name Yi Jiabao? It can be used by both men and women."

Yi Zhonghai slapped his thigh and wrote on the paper. "This is a good name. The boy will be named Yi Jiabao and the girl will be named Yi Jiabao."

All night long, Yi Zhonghai and Gao Shuzhen were immersed in their beautiful expectations for having a child.

And the Jia family.

The whole family was immersed in Zhang Xiaoyu's pregnancy, and as a result, Zhang Xiaoyu's status instantly changed from the bottom to the treasure of the family.

Jia Zhang prepared the meal eagerly and brought it to the table, and the family sat down to eat.

"Mom, cousin, let's buy a bicycle so that it will be convenient for him to go to work. I haven't been home for a few months. After buying it, I will go home on the weekend to tell my parents the good news."

Zhang Xiaoyu suggested this with her own thoughts. She envied the Chang family members who pushed their bicycles in and out every day. She was also vain and wanted to go back to the village to show her face.

"No money. Our family doesn't have that much money." When it comes to spending money to buy a bicycle, Jia Zhang replied without thinking.

A bicycle costs more than a hundred yuan, and she only has more than two hundred yuan left. Losing more than half of it in an instant would be like the end of her life.

"Xiao Yu, once the baby is born, our family will have an extra expense, so it's better not to buy it." Jia Dongxu was stingy by nature, so he also agreed.

"I didn't say that we have to spend money to buy it." Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and pointed at the door opposite with chopsticks.

"This... My master himself is reluctant to buy Xiaoyu and he walks to work. How can he buy it for us?" Jia Dongxu asked in confusion.

As for bicycles, he also wants one. For men, today's bicycles are almost equivalent to the motorcycles that were popular after the millennium. They are cool and stylish, and they are a tool for showing off. Who doesn't like them?

Who doesn’t have vanity?

But Jia Zhang just kept eating and didn't say anything, waiting for Zhang Xiaoyu's next words.

She knew better than anyone that if Jia Dongxu asked, Yi Zhonghai would have a 50% chance of buying it. If there was a reasonable excuse, then it would be almost certain.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Jia Dongxu and said with a smile. "I'm pregnant, shouldn't you get off work early and go home to spend more time with your wife? And it's not just for you.

Normally, you and your master go to and from get off work together. You work hard all day and then have to walk home. How tiring!

If you have a bicycle, you can take Master with you on the bicycle. Isn't this also considerate and filial to the elders? We want to be filial to him, but we are short of money and can't afford it. Don't you think so?"

After saying that, she looked at Jia Zhang.

I know it in my heart, and if Jia Zhang nods, the matter will be easy.

"Mom, do you think it's okay to say this?" Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up and he looked at Jia Zhang and asked quickly.

"Talk to your master about it when you go to work tomorrow." Jia Zhang nodded. This was indeed an excuse, but she couldn't guarantee that Yi Zhonghai would agree.

"Mom, my cousin can't tell me about this. If he tells me, it means he wants it. If he buys it, it's fine. But if he doesn't, won't it create a rift between my cousin and Master? My cousin wants to be filial, but he's ashamed that our family has no money. Men need to save face. Mom, it's better for you elders to discuss this matter."

Zhang Xiaoyu quickly replied. She had already guessed the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and her mother-in-law Jia Zhang, and it was almost certain. So this matter had to be handled by Jia Zhang, and the result would be 90% certain.

Moreover, what she said was an open conspiracy, which not only made Jia Dongxu feel comfortable, but also forced Jia Zhangshi to go.

The words fell,

Jia Dongxu looked at his mother, Jia Zhang, with anticipation.

Jia Zhang was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I'll go talk to you later."

She thought about it and felt that what her daughter-in-law said made sense. She couldn't let them have a rift. Dongxu usually rode his bike with Yi Zhonghai, and people outside saw it and said it was nice. Besides, Dongxu rode his bike to send his daughter-in-law back to her parents' home, so she would have face in the village and she wouldn't have to spend her own money. This thing could be done.

……

After dinner, Jia Zhang came to Yi's house, called out Yi Zhonghai who was muttering at the door, and told him about the bicycle.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai thought about it for a while and agreed. "Okay, I'll buy one when I'm free in the next two days."

Xiao Jia is his son after all, so it is my duty as a father to buy something for him, but I have to let everyone in the courtyard know.

It also allows him to have an easier commute to and from get off work, saving energy and time, so he can come home earlier and spend more time with his wife, thus preparing for a successful pregnancy.

At the same time, they also have to make plans for their future children. After this big purchase, the Jia family has bought two big items, and they are not going to spend a lot of money on Jia Dongxu anymore.

As the old saying goes, rely on the eldest and love the youngest, but the eldest is not easy to be famous after all, so the youngest is still the most important...

Jia Zhang didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to agree so easily. She was happy in her heart, thinking that old Yi still cared about her.

"Lao Yi, let me go back and tell Dong Xu, um, see you at the usual place tonight?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly waved his hand to support his waist. "No, I've worked all day and I'm so tired that I can't even straighten my waist."

He would not waste his energy on Jia Zhang now. He would conserve his energy and strive to have a baby as soon as possible.
