Scholars in the courtyard

On Sunday, Yang Xiaotao dug soil in the garden to grow vegetables, while Ran Qiuye cooked at home and entertained his younger brothers and sisters who came to visit.

Ran Xinrui followed the eldest sister and asked what her nephew would be like when he came out in the future.

Ran Hongbing followed Yang Xiaotao around in the yard and got dirty.

The two children were very happy to be here, of course, because they didn’t have to do homework.

In the Jia family, Qin Huairu felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen when she got up today, and the child in her belly was struggling even more. The fetal movement from time to time made small bumps bulge in her belly. Obviously, the child couldn't wait any longer.

As the day approached, Qin Huairu quickly prepared for the birth.

Having already given birth to two children, Qin Huairu already has sufficient experience in this area.

Jia Zhang also felt the changes in Qin Huairu, and after some questioning, she also knew that the matter was serious.

This was not the time to be angry. If Qin Huairu had an accident, then she, Jia Zhang, would really fall to the ground.

I have become an old, weak and lonely person.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao was leading two children to water tomato seedlings when he saw Jia Zhang running out with her hands raised and slapping her thighs.

In the past few days after coming back, Yang Xiaotao also heard about what happened in the yard.

Unexpectedly, Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai ignored the Jia family, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

But Yang Xiaotao knows that this is called taking a long shot to catch the big fish.

The purpose is to crush the stumbling block of Jia Zhang family and smooth the road.

Among them, Shazhu may be just a pawn in the execution, but Yi Zhonghai, the old Yinbi, is definitely the mastermind behind it.

At this time, Mrs. Jia Zhang ran out with an excited expression, slapping her thighs with both hands. She had been holding a sentence in her mouth for so long. She didn't know if she would choke to death.

"Here comes someone, come and help."

"Someone help, my water has broken, I'm going to give birth, I'm going to give birth!"

In the house, Ran Qiuye heard the sound and walked to the door, looking at the crowd coming out of the courtyard.

"Qin Huairu, are you about to give birth?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded and looked at the blooming Sophora japonica in the yard, "Probably so."

"Calculating the time, it's almost time."

In the middle courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang was still shouting. Many people were watching, but no one actually stepped forward to help.

First, when a woman gives birth to a child, how can a grown man come forward?

Secondly, there are no stable women in this courtyard, so it is useless for these women to come forward.

As a result, Jia Zhang was shouting there, and Qin Huairu's shouts were also heard from the Jia family's house, but no one came forward to take charge.

Mrs. Jia Zhang is also stupid. No one pays attention to her and she keeps yelling, as if everyone in the hospital should help.

Seeing no one to help, Jia Zhang quickly ran to Yi Zhonghai's house.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was feeling worried at home.

In the few days since Yang Xiaotao came back, the guys in the courtyard have found a backbone. One day they will walk away, and the next day they will go there. Around Yang Xiaotao, a rival force has formed faintly.

Now that he was at the critical moment of 'cleaning up' the Jia Zhang family, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to cause any complications.

"Master, it looks like Qin Huairu is going to give birth."

The aunt at the door saw Jia Zhang running out and immediately shouted to Yi Zhonghai.

"knew."

Under the calm voice, Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists tightly, and the plan was launched at this moment.

"Why don't we help? It's no small matter for this woman to give birth to a child."

"There's no rush. If they don't come to invite us, it's easy to get misunderstood if we just hurry up."

Yi Zhonghai picked up the jar and drank water, without any trace of nervousness.

Even though the aunt didn't say anything, she knew that Mrs. Jia Zhang had a bad mouth.

If you rush to help yourself, not only will you not get good results, but if the matter is over, you will be criticized and accused of bad intentions.

Especially now, after Jia Dongxu is gone and there are two widows in the family, Jia Zhang has become very sensitive.

I just don’t know if I have made any progress after more than half a month has passed.

The two of them didn't go out to take care of it, they just waited at home.

Sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Jia Zhang was shouting in the courtyard for a long time. Seeing that no one spoke, and no one helped, her heart felt cold.

Then he thought of something and ran to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Silly Zhu was cutting his nails at home, and almost cut his flesh when he heard Mrs. Jia Zhang running out and yelling.

But when I heard clearly that Qin Huairu was about to give birth, I couldn't help but have a thought in my heart.

Faintly hearing Qin Huairu's shouts, Sha Zhu felt anxious and irritable.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jia Zhang is not stupid and knows who to ask for help at this time.

Arriving at Yi Zhonghai's house, Jia Zhang knocked on the door politely.

Asking for help from others, keeping a very low profile.

"Uncle, aunt."

"My Huairu's amniotic water has broken. I have no choice but to come to you for help."

Mrs. Jia Zhang pinched her hands together and spoke very carefully.

Seeing that there was no movement in the room, I felt mentally miserable. This time I was really embarrassed.

"Master, I talk without thinking. I was confused because Dongxu went there a few days ago."

"What has offended you? You have a lot of money. Don't be as knowledgeable as an old woman like me."

"The child in Huairu's belly was entrusted to you by Dongxu. Please help me with this matter."

"When the time comes, do you think it's okay to let this kid recognize you as his godfather?"

What Jia Zhang said was very pitiful, and she also recognized the reality.

With her being an old woman and Qin Huairu raising three children, she couldn't even feed them even if they had porridge every day.

Unless she went to work, but was that possible?

If you want your life to be easy, you have to rely on Yi Zhonghai and the others.

For this, even if you sacrifice a little, it doesn't matter.

"Jia Zhang, what you said is too serious."

Yi Zhonghai put the jar down and tapped it lightly on the table.

Concealing the excitement inside.

If Qin Huairu gave birth to a son this time, it wouldn't be bad to have a godson.

These days, adoption and marriage are no small things. They have to set up two tables, invite both parents, and have important people to bear witness.

After the incident is completed, the adults will raise their children as if they were their own children, and the children will also be influenced by the world and become close to the adults.

Yi Zhonghai looked calm, but his mother almost jumped up.

It can be said that after these words were raised, they directly hit their itch.

"Since Dongxu entrusted this child to me when he left, I, the master, will not stand idly by."

"Her aunt, you go and take a look first. If you need anything, shout out and I'll go get ready."

Yi Zhonghai stood up, and Jia Zhang smiled quickly, "Okay, thank you, sir."

"I still have to rely on you to control this courtyard. Look at those white-eyed wolves. They all look at me coldly. No one has a conscience."

With that said, he ran home with his aunt.

Yi Zhonghai didn't take it to heart after hearing Jia Zhang's words.

If these words were said by other people in the courtyard, he would still be happy, but now, his prestige and personality are only tossing in a limited small circle.

"nominal kinship?"

"Forget it, it's better to be biological."

With a sigh, he got up and went out to find Shazhu.

Soon, the second aunt and the third aunt were called out, and a group of people came in and out of Jia's house.

Qin Huairu's shouts rang out from time to time in the house, and the whole yard was filled with screams.

Yang Xiaotao brought the child back to the house, and Ran Qiuye beside him was a little nervous.

"Does it hurt so much to give birth?"

Touching her belly, Ran Qiuye was a little scared.

Yang Xiaotao walked up to him and held Ran Qiuye's finger.

"Of course."

Yang Xiaotao did not lie to Ran Qiuye, "Medically, the pain that humans can feel is divided into 12 levels. The higher the level, the greater the pain felt."

Ran Qiuye turned around and became interested, "Level 12, what level is it to have a child?"

"A mosquito bite is level one."

"And the pain a woman feels during childbirth is level 12. The highest level."

For a moment, Yang Xiaotao felt Ran Qiuye's nervousness, and he was obviously not prepared for it. It was level 12, the most painful level.

"real?"

"Well, scientific research shows that it should be right."

Ran Qiuye was silent.

"Scared?"

"Um!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to say, because he couldn't do anything about it.

"Then let's give birth to this one."

"I think one is pretty good."

In his previous life, Yang Xiaotao was an only child and enjoyed 100% love and care from his parents, who really gave him whatever he asked for.

What impressed me most was when I went to the market and wanted to eat oranges, but my father sold a bunch of hawthorns to buy two small oranges.

That kind of fatherly love, that kind of care, is still unforgettable.

After listening to Yang Xiaotao's words, Ran Qiuye lowered his head and said nothing.

"What if it's a girl?"

There was a voice for a long time.

Yang Xiaotao laughed and said, "A daughter is better. A daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket. Don't think of a son as a guard against old age. When the time comes when he can't get out of bed, the son will have to look at his wife's face. The one who really takes care of him must be his daughter."

I have seen this happen many times in my past life. I forgot my mother after marrying a daughter-in-law.

Isn’t that daughter-in-law a daughter-in-law?

What you forget is your mother-in-law, but what you remember is always your mother.

Ran Qiuye spat with a smile, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

"It's all nonsense."

"Actually, I am willing to have any number of children."

"Because this is the price of new life."

"I am willing to bear this price, and I am willing to bear more costs, because this will bring about the beauty of new life."

"Let me experience the true meaning of life."

Ran Qiuye touched her belly, weak yet firm.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao realized what it means to be weak as a woman, but strong as a mother.

A mother can make any sacrifice for her children.

The pain here is just like a mosquito bite, no different.

After lunch, the Jia family was still shouting. Busy people were heating hot water and changing towels were being handed out.

I thought that Qin Huairu's delivery would go smoothly this time, but she didn't expect that her pelvis could only be opened by three fingers. Everyone was so anxious that they had to go to the alley to find Po Wen for help.

Yang Xiaotao took the two children back on his bicycle, went to the library again, returned the books, and then returned to the courtyard.

When he came back, Shazhu was discussing something with Yi Zhonghai outside. As for the Jia family, Qin Huairu's voice became weaker but still persisted.

Obviously, this little locust flower hasn't come out yet.

Back home, Ran Qiuye had packed his things, and Yang Xiaotao took Ran Qiuye to Yangjiazhuang.

"It's been so long and it hasn't been born yet."

After leaving the front door, Ran Qiuye sat in the back seat, hugging Yang Xiaotao and saying with some fear.

After listening to Qin Huairu's shouting all afternoon, his voice was almost hoarse. How could he not be afraid?

"It's okay. This time, the baby will become familiar again. It will be fine next time."

"Nonsense, it's already my third child and it's still so difficult."

"That's right, I said it was raw the first time and familiar the second time, but I didn't say it the third time."

"Another nonsense."

After riding back to Yangjiazhuang, Yang Xiaotao settled Ran Qiuye down and rushed to Sijiu City without staying for dinner.

The steel rolling mill will be very busy in the next few days. He will come back when the corn grows here.

This time Xiaowei did not go back with him, but was left behind by Yang Xiaotao to speed up the growth of corn.

Otherwise, with the current farming season, it will take at least July for the corn to grow, and there will be no connection at all.

Of course it's just a slight increase and it won't be too noticeable.

When everyone saw it, they just thought it was a good year and the corn matured early.

As for whether it will be like this in the future, Yang Xiaotao thinks this is good before solving the problem of food and clothing.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when we returned to the courtyard.

Driving the car to the front yard, I smelled a meaty smell in the air.

"This smell."

Yang Xiaotao frowned, not sure if it was the smell of woman's blood or if he forgot to add salt to the boiled chicken.

Anyway, it just smells unappetizing and even a little nauseating.

Sure enough, after passing the Weeping Flower Gate, we found the source of the fragrance, which was none other than Jia's family and Shazhu's family.

It's normal for Jia's family to have this smell. Giving birth to a baby is so wonderful.

As for Silly Zhu, you don't need to guess to know that this chicken must be prepared for Qin Huairu.

In the yard, Banggun and Xiaodang were lying on the window of Shazhu's house, looking hard into the house.

When passing by the door, the inside of Jia's house was tightly covered, the door curtains and windows were blocked. Only the faint cry coming from inside indicated that the child had come out.

Yang Xiaotao returned home and turned on the lights and prepared to cook.

Then I learned from the discussions among the people in the courtyard that Qin Huairu had another daughter.

This is the same as what he knew.

At least my butterfly wings did not change the arrival of the Sophora japonica.

Sophora japonica finally came to this world.
