Chapter 314 All Upgraded to One Level
When Wang Chunxiu heard that her daughter had given birth early, how could she sit still? I quickly asked for leave from the hospital and went straight to the bureau.
When I arrived here, I met Sheng Xiping and inquired about her daughter's condition. I learned that Zhou Qinglan gave birth to the child smoothly and was now mentally and physically fine. Wang Chunxiu felt relieved.
"Xiping, thank you for your hard work, mother. We all know that your mother has taken good care of Qinglan since she became pregnant.
Have you not eaten yet? Come on, let's go home and I'll cook some food. "
It's past eleven o'clock. It's a rare visit for my uncle. How can he still be hungry?
Sheng Xiping didn't refuse and followed Zhou Mingyuan and his wife out of the office.
It happened to be time to get off work, and many people were walking out. Zhou Mingyuan handed out eggs to people.
"Old Xu, these are my grandson's wedding eggs. Come, eat one. My daughter gave birth to a big fat boy yesterday, weighing six pounds and six taels."
"Lao Zhang, come and be happy too."
"Old Li, Old Li, come on, these are my grandson's wedding eggs. Take one, take one."
Zhou Mingyuan distributed eggs to people he knew well.
When the other party took the egg, he had to say something congratulatory, which made Zhou Mingyuan so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Secretary Zhao, oh, it just so happens that I have two eggs left, I'll give them to you.
This is my grandson’s wedding egg. My daughter-in-law gave birth yesterday, a fat boy weighing six pounds and six taels. "
When he walked to the door of the bureau building, he happened to meet Zhao Yongsheng and his son. Zhou Mingyuan quickly grabbed the eggs that he originally wanted to leave to the couple and sent them to Zhao Yongsheng.
"Hey, have you become a grandpa? That's great. Congratulations."
Zhao Yongsheng did not refuse, reached out to take the egg, and congratulated Zhou Mingyuan at the same time.
"Xiping, okay, he's going to be a father so soon. He's better than our Guangning, he's only been with someone until now."
As Zhao Yongsheng spoke, he glanced at his son.
Zhao Guangning had been with someone before. Wasn't Zhao Yongsheng squeezed and suppressed in those years? Zhao Guangning's partner was afraid of being implicated, so he drew a clear line with Zhao Guangning.
Now that Zhao Yongsheng has returned to work and has become the top leader in the bureau, the matchmaker who proposes marriage to Zhao Guangning is eager to cross the threshold of the Zhao family.
After going through so many things, Zhao Guangning also gained experience. He was not dazzled by the girls who took the initiative to propose marriage and found a girl he liked.
The two of them get along very well and plan to have a wedding before the Chinese New Year this year.
"Secretary Zhao, there is no comparison like this. Brother Guangning couldn't get married before.
You see, now that marriage has arrived, isn’t this the right person? When will the wedding be held? I'll have to come for a wedding drink then. "
The relationship between Sheng Xiping and Zhao's father and son is not ordinary. He smiled when he heard this.
"There will be a happy event on the sixth day of the first lunar month. You will all come then." Zhao Yongsheng said directly without hiding anything.
After get off work, everyone was in a hurry to go home for dinner, so everyone said goodbye and went home without saying a few words.
Wang Chunxiu went to the grocery store and bought two kinds of cooked food and some meat. Then the three of them returned to Zhou's house.
At home, Zhou Qingyue, who was not going to school during the holidays, had already made a fire to heat up the steamed buns and leftovers.
His brothers and sisters are not at home, and this boy has grown up now. He can't do anything else, but he can cook a hot meal.
"Dad, mom, brother-in-law?"
Zhou Qingyue was stuffing firewood into the pot pit when he looked up and saw Zhou Mingyuan, his wife and Sheng Xiping. He quickly stood up and greeted Sheng Xiping.
"Brother-in-law, why are you down here? Shouldn't you be cutting wood on the mountain at this time?"
"Your sister gave birth to a big fat boy yesterday afternoon. Your brother-in-law came down to announce the good news."
Zhou Mingyuan raised his hand and patted his son on the shoulder.
"Boy, you have become an uncle now. Be more sensible in the future and don't let your nephew laugh at you."
"My sister gave birth? I became an uncle? Oh my God, so soon?"
When Zhou Qingyue heard this, he jumped up for joy and shouted at the top of his voice.
“Okay, okay, I just told you to be sensible, look at it, it’s almost reaching the roof.
Just calm down for a while. In two days we will take you to the forest farm to see your sister and your nephew. "
Zhou Mingyuan shook his head, this child is just a child, and it is not safe to be an uncle. He is a fool.
"Xiping, the bureau has been a little busy these days, and your mother's hospital didn't find anyone to replace you in advance.
As you know, she is too busy at her job and cannot take time off.
We're afraid we won't be able to see Qinglan and her children tomorrow. In a few days, your mother has arranged her work, and we'll go to the forest farm again.
Then let your mother stay for a few more days to help take care of the confinement period. "Zhou Mingyuan said regretfully.
Generally speaking, when the mother's family sees happiness, most of them last for three days, seven days, or twelve days.
Today is the second day after Zhou Qinglan gave birth to a baby, and Sheng Xiping came to announce the good news in person. Logically, Zhou Mingyuan and his wife should stay with Sheng Xiping for one night.
Tomorrow morning I will follow Sheng Xiping to the forest farm, just in time for the little baby to take a bath.
But the nature of Wang Chunxiu's work determines that her time is not free.
That's what it's like to be a doctor. There will be patients at any time. It's not easy to ask for leave. You have to find someone to cover the shift in advance and arrange things in the hospital.
“Dad, I know, my mother is busy at work and she knows that.
It's okay. Qinglan and the children are fine, and my mother is taking good care of them. You should go about your work first. "
Sheng Xiping came today just to announce the good news. As for whether and when Zhou Mingyuan and his wife would go to the forest farm, Sheng Xiping didn't care.
Everyone has their own difficulties when living at home.
Farmers have free time and earn little money. Employees earn a lot of money and can eat from the public bowl, but they have to listen to the public's control and cannot do whatever they want.
In this busy winter production season, Zhou Mingyuan must be very busy at work, not to mention Wang Chunxiu, and everyone understands this.
The worst case scenario is to wait until the confinement period and let Zhou Qinglan come back and stay with the child for a few days. Anyway, Zhou Qinglan has a long winter vacation and school will start exactly one month after the new year.
While talking, Wang Chunxiu quickly cut up the cooked food he bought, beat a few eggs and fried them, adding pickled cabbage vermicelli in the pot to make four dishes.
"We'll just have a meal at noon, I'll buy some meat in the afternoon, and we'll make dumplings in the evening."
Wang Chunxiu put away the food and invited Sheng Xiping to eat.
"Mom, Dad, I only took five days off in total. I want to go back and take care of Qinglan more.
So I plan to go back in the afternoon. Mom, you don’t have to work so much to eat. "
The daughter-in-law is at home and she doesn’t know whether she has breastfed. The baby hasn’t been named yet, and there are a lot of things going on at home. How can Sheng Xiping stay at his father-in-law’s house?
He had to go back quickly, take advantage of a few days of vacation to help his mother share more of the burden, and take good care of his wife and children.
"Are you leaving in the afternoon? Can you get a car back? Otherwise, you can stay one night and I will find a car for you from the bureau tomorrow morning."
When Zhou Mingyuan heard that his uncle wanted to leave in the afternoon, he felt a little unhappy and said hurriedly.
"Dad, no need. I made an agreement with the driver when I came here. At two o'clock in the afternoon, I will go to the lumberyard to take a car and we will go back together." Sheng Xiping shook his head and smiled.
Sheng Xiping had lunch at Zhou's house and chatted with his father-in-law and mother-in-law for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
"Xiping, here are fifty eggs that I asked someone to exchange for in advance. Here are brown sugar, millet, and a few pieces of cloth. You can take them back.
I went back to the hospital and found someone to take time off. In two days we went to Maekawa to see Qinglan and the baby. "
Wang Chunxiu knew that she couldn't keep Sheng Xiping, so she gave Sheng Xiping everything she had prepared in advance.
“Mom, you don’t need to take these, they are all at home.
My mother bought a hundred eggs from the Great Alkali Farm, as well as millet, brown sugar and so on. "Sheng Xiping saw it and quickly declined.
"Take it, that's what we gave to Qinglan and the child. You're young and in good health. Take it for us. Won't we save worry?"
Over there, Zhou Mingyuan helped smooth things over.
"That's right, you are young and strong, work more. Just think that you feel sorry for us and take it away." Wang Chunxiu agreed.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law have already said this, what else can Sheng Xiping say? Then I can only hold it.
So I held the basket in one hand and the bag in the other, and walked out.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going back first. After the New Year, I'll send Qinglan back to stay for a few more days."
"Okay, it happens to be a holiday during the Chinese New Year, so we can stay at home and spend more time with the two of us."
When Wang Chunxiu heard this, he was very happy and quickly agreed.
"Third brother, take your brother-in-law to the lumberyard on a bicycle and hurry up."
Zhou Qingyue studied in No. 1 Middle School, which was not close to home. In the fall, he had to pester his parents to buy a bicycle.
As a young man with enough strength, it is no problem to carry someone on a bicycle, and it is much faster than walking anyway.
"Hey, I got it, let's go now." Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingyue immediately put on his hat and gloves and pushed his bicycle out.
"Brother-in-law, come up and I will take you."
After exiting the alley and onto the avenue outside, Zhou Qingyue first straddled the car, then turned around and patted the back seat of the car, gesturing for Sheng Xiping to sit on it.
Originally, Sheng Xiping wanted to say that if he could ride a bicycle, it would be better if he led Zhou Qingyue.
But then I thought something was wrong. The Sheng family didn’t have a bicycle. Not only the Sheng family didn’t have one, but the entire Erqianchuan Forestry Farm didn’t have one either.
The main reason is that there is no road leading to the outside world in Maechuan Forest Farm, and there is no condition for riding a bicycle at all. Who would buy such a thing when they have nothing to do?
There were no bicycles at Maekuan Forest Farm, so Sheng Xiping shouldn't know how to ride one. If he said he knew how to ride a bicycle now, there would obviously be a problem.
So Sheng Xiping didn't say anything, and just sat on the back seat of the car with his long legs and millet brown sugar in his left hand and an egg basket in his right hand.
Zhou Qingyue put his right leg on the ground, stepped on the pedal with his left foot, stepped down on the pedal, and the wheels of the car turned forward.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhou Qingyue stepped on the pedal with his right foot and rode the bicycle smoothly.
Biking is faster than walking anyway, and after a while, the two of them arrived at the lumber yard.
The internal combustion engine pulling the original strip trolley was waiting. Sheng Xiping hurriedly got on the car and turned around to wave to Zhou Qingyue.
"It's cold and the roads are slippery. Be careful when you go back. Come to Maekawa later and stay longer."
"I know, brother-in-law." Zhou Qingyue waved to Sheng Xiping, turned around and pushed the car away.
The driver of the internal combustion engine here looked at the time, borrowed the communication equipment at the lumber yard to communicate with the Sentai Railway dispatch office, and then came back and started the car.
The internal combustion engine tows the empty original trolley along the small train track back to Qianchuan Forest Farm.
Sheng Xiping got out of the car with his things and hurried home.
"Mom, I'm back. This is what my father-in-law brought back. You can make it for Qinglan to eat."
Zhang Shuzhen was busy making food for Zhou Qinglan. When she saw Sheng Xiping coming back, she quickly pointed outside.
"Well, just in time for you to come back, quickly find a place to put Zhaocai and Wangfu.
No, when these two dogs bark, the children in that house cry.
Let's send the two dogs to someone's house to raise them for a while, and then take them back when the children are ready to take care of them after confinement. "
Today, many people in the forestry farm heard about the Sheng family's daughter-in-law giving birth to a child. They got along well with the Sheng family, and the parents of the students taught by Zhou Qinglan came to watch the children one after another.
Zhaocai and Wangfu are still young and haven't gone hunting in the mountains, but they are good at looking after the house. They bark when people come.
As soon as they screamed, the baby who was sleeping soundly in the west room started to cry.
"Oh, okay, then I'll take them to my master. It just so happens that these two dogs are not young anymore. They can try to go up the mountain."
The Liu Yujiang brothers looked down upon the little money they could earn by driving a sledge and pulling wood. They made more than that by going hunting in the mountains during the winter.
They had taken away Erlangshen's dogs, Zhaocai and Wangfuxiao, and left them at the Sheng family.
"Okay, then you wait for a while, and I will boil a few more eggs, just in time to announce the good news to your master and wife."
Sheng Xiping was a serious apprentice at that time, his own teacher was the Lord of Heaven and Earth. Even though the teacher was ranked last, he was closer than ordinary relatives.
The apprentice's wife has given birth to a baby, and it is natural for her to go to the master's house to announce the good news.
"Okay." Sheng Xiping nodded, took the things to the east room, warmed them in the east room for a while, and then ran to the west room to see his wife and children.
In the days after a woman gives birth to a baby, she is generally in a state of excitement.
Many times, the more others persuade them to sleep more, the more energetic they become and they always want to look at their children, which is extremely rare.
Zhou Qinglan was like this too. When he was lying on the kang and had nothing to do, he turned around to see his son.
Maybe because I'm used to it, I think everything about my son is good-looking. His small nose, small mouth, and even his pale and slightly yellow eyebrows all make him look good-looking.
While looking at the child, Zhou Qinglan suddenly heard the sound of someone entering the house. Zhou Qinglan thought it was her mother-in-law, so she was so frightened that she quickly turned back and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep.
"Stop pretending, it's me." Sheng Xiping had already seen his wife's little actions and couldn't help but laugh.
It's no wonder that Zhou Qinglan is only twenty. If it were put aside a few decades, this age would be the age when he had just finished the college entrance examination and entered college. She became a mother at a young age, and it was so normal to be surprised by her children.
"Oh, you didn't even call me when you came in, I was shocked.
I thought it was our mother who came in. She didn't let me watch the kids all the time, she only let me sleep. "
Zhou Qinglan smiled sheepishly and wanted to sit up and talk to Sheng Xiping.
"Just lie down, don't get up.
Our mother also does it for your own good. The most important thing for a woman during confinement is to take good care of her.
Even if you can't sleep, just close your eyes more often to avoid having bad eyesight when you get older. "
Sheng Xiping sat on the edge of the Kang, looked at his wife and children, and couldn't help but laugh.
"My parents are very happy to know that you have given birth.
It's just that my mother's class is too busy, and there is no one to take care of her for a while, so she can't ask for leave.
Our mother said that they will come to see you in two days to look after the children and ask you to have a good rest and not be tired. "
Sheng Xiping reached out and helped his wife tidy up her hair.
"It's okay. Your confinement coincides with the New Year. Waiting for the first few days of the new year, I will go back with you two and stay longer."
