The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Not long after Liu Qing left, Qin Huairu woke up and tried to feed the child.

Even though Chang Wei had thousands of words to say, he could only say one sentence: "Wife, you have worked hard."

Qin Huairu looked at her two sons in her arms and said happily with a silly smile.

"The head of the family has two sons, hehe~"

Chang Wei made her laugh. The idea of ​​favoring boys over girls has been deeply rooted since ancient times, and Qin Huairu was certainly not immune to the abuse.

He stroked her face gently, seemingly comforting her but actually telling her the truth. "Wife, I like it whether it's a boy or a girl."

In fact, he really hopes to have a little girl, otherwise who will buy cigarettes and alcohol for him in the future, and who will show filial piety to him during festivals?

Qin Huairu rubbed Chang Wei's hand with her cheek and squinted her eyes happily. "I'm just happy to have a son."

……

Not long after, Liu Qing came back with a thermos and brought boiled eggs and meat porridge.

Chang Wei feeds the babies attentively.

The doctor came and said that I could go home the next day after a normal delivery.

Chang Wei discussed with Liu Qing and decided that he would stay in the hospital with her throughout the whole process, while Liu Qing would be responsible for her meals.

It was almost noon when Liu Qing returned home and told Qin Huaiyu the good news that Qin Huairu had given birth to twin sons.

Qin Huaiyu was so excited that he didn't even have time to eat. He hurried home by car to report the good news.

This is a big deal. My cousin gave birth to two sons at once. These are the eldest sons of the Chang family...

Today happened to be the weekend, He Yushui and Qin Jingru were both at home, and when they heard that Qin Huairu had given birth to two little babies, they were also dancing with joy. From now on, they are no longer the youngest in the family, but they are the aunts and younger aunts.

After dinner, the two little girls went to the courtyard to play with Xu Ling and a few other friends. They were so happy that they told everyone about it. Soon, every family in the courtyard knew that the Chang family had given birth to twin sons.

The courtyard became lively again. The Chang family's image was there, and now it was different from before the founding of the People's Republic of China. No one dared to bully others openly, and all relationships had to be relatively harmonious.

Everyone praised the Chang family for being a good family and having two fat boys. They also praised Qin Huairu for being so good at having such a big belly.

……

Jia family.

Upon hearing the news, the Jia family was extremely envious, as the Jia family was not a large family to begin with.

At this time, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu actually felt a little regretful. They should have used up all their family fortune to marry Qin Huairu, and these two fat boys would have belonged to the Jia family.

Zhang Xiaoyu was also envious. Giving birth to a son as the first child directly made her famous because of the two children. Qin Huairu was already very favored. She went to the hospital to wait for delivery before giving birth. This treatment was just like the treatment of the big landlords in the past. Now with two sons, wouldn't she be spoiled to the sky in the future?

But it will be almost time for me, only about two months left.

I prayed in my heart that I must have a son, otherwise I don’t know when I will be able to take charge of the family.

"Mom, do we need to send eggs?"

It is customary to send eggs to neighbors or relatives when they have a baby. Usually the number is an even number, starting from eight, then twenty, thirty, fifty, and close relatives can send sixty. After twelve days, the boy will invite relatives and friends to dinner, and the eggs will be used as a gift money.

Jia Zhang said cleverly, "Send it, why not? It's only once for two children. We have to return it later anyway. The food at the Chang family's dinner party must be good, definitely better than ours, so it's not a loss no matter how you calculate it."

"How many should I send?"

"The relationship between the Chang family and our family is at most that of neighbors, which is definitely the minimum. Eight is enough."

……

To be honest, the family that is most jealous and envious is not the Jia family, but the Yi family.

When the couple heard the news, their eyes turned red with envy.

Yi Zhonghai felt a little comforted, at least he would be able to hug his grandson or granddaughter soon.

But it has nothing to do with Gao Shuzhen. She misses her child so much that she has become obsessed with it.

After the operation, the two of them calculated the time and tried hard and hard, but there was no response.

Seeing that he was getting older every year, she was almost going crazy.

"Lao Yi, I'm going to buy some eggs."

Gao Shuzhen took a basket and went out. She wanted to share in the good fortune, so she prepared to give away 60 of them. If she could share in the good fortune, maybe she could get pregnant sooner.

"Shuzhen, buy more."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Gao Shuzhen who was leaving and shouted.

Others can think of it, but he can’t think of it?

The point is that he knew that the courtyard next door used to belong to the Lou family. The courtyard given by the Lou family proved that he had a relationship with the Lou family. Although the owner of the steel mill has changed and is no longer the Lou family, the Lou family is still a wealthy family with a large family and wealth, and he can't afford to offend them.

I also accidentally heard what happened on the opening day of the butcher shop. The police came to the door, and the leader actually said hello politely and arrested the person who reported it. It is obvious that he has someone behind the scenes?

So I thought that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one, and the Chang family is not someone who can be easily offended. This is a good opportunity to ease the relationship, and maybe I can ask them for help in the future when I need help.

Although the last donation was not as good as expected, at least the purpose was achieved. It's okay to suffer a little loss.

……

"Boss, how many eggs should we send? The Jia family is about to give birth soon."

The three aunts felt a little distressed, seeing that they had to make two deliveries in a row.

But she, from the Chang family, wanted to send more. She and Qin Huairu and Liu Qing all got along well, but this was not something she could decide.

"Of course we should send eight... No, eight will be enough for the Jia family. We have to send thirty to the Chang family. In a few years, Jie Cheng will graduate and start a family. We will have a second and third son in the future, so it will definitely be worth it. Giving more will also show that the relationship between the two families is close. During the Chinese New Year, when I went to their butcher shop to buy meat, they gave me an extra piece of pork liver, which weighed more than a pound. We have to maintain this relationship."

Yan Bugui's calculations were very clear. It was meaningless for the Jia family to give more gifts, as they would return the gifts at the right time. But it was different for the Chang family. As the saying goes, a big investment equals a big return. If the relationship was good, they would buy meat and give it away as well.

"Okay, I'll go to the village outside the city and buy some eggs."

Eggs in the city cost a little over 40 cents per pound, or almost 5 cents each, which is nearly 1 cent more expensive than in the countryside. So if you buy 30 eggs, you can save almost 30 cents.

Isn’t this just half a pound of meat?

……

"Old Liu, our family doesn't have much in common with the Chang family. Is eight eggs enough?"

Liu Haizhong's wife later became the second aunt (let's call her the second aunt). She felt like a neighbor to the Chang family, and a little gesture was enough.

"Look at you, you have long hair but little knowledge, why don't you use your brain every day?

I initially thought that Chang Wei was a fool, but after Old Yan analyzed the situation that day and told me, I realized that this guy is quite capable.

My family donated 100 yuan, but because of what he said that day, Yi Zhonghai secretly sent me 50 yuan. I went with him to donate the money and was praised by the government leaders. "

After Yan Bugui's analysis, Liu Haizhong suddenly realized what was going on. What he hadn't said was that when the government was going to set up a street office and recruit people, he would be given priority in the hospital.
