Chapter 273 Qin Huairu gave birth to a daughter, Li Yang asked for a separate yard
As for animals, you can also set up a small farm and call it scientific research.
Anyway, technology is the focus now, and no one would doubt him if a technician made this request.
Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn't help but snap his fingers and cheer secretly.
With this idea, he can finally move the treasures of the small world outside with a legitimate reason to benefit everyone!
Unexpectedly, just when Li Yang was feeling complacent about his clever plan, a chaotic commotion broke out in the courtyard.
It turns out that Qin Huairu is about to give birth!
At that time, Qin Huairu already had a big belly and it was very inconvenient for her to move.
After ten months of pregnancy and childbirth, it has finally come to the final stage.
But at this critical moment, Jia Dongxu was paralyzed in bed and could not help at all.
Although Jia Zhang was the mother-in-law, she was also an irrational person.
With such clumsy hands and feet, he couldn't even cook a decent meal, let alone deliver a baby.
Seeing her belly growing bigger day by day, Qin Huairu became extremely worried.
In desperation, she had to seek help from He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai.
But when she asked to borrow a car, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were in trouble.
"Huai Ru, you know, how can we have a car? It's the modern age now, there are not many bicycles, where can we get a car?" said an aunt with an embarrassed look on her face.
"How about you go and borrow some from Li Yang?" He Yuzhu suggested. "Doesn't that guy have a jeep? It would be very fast to drive to the hospital."
Qin Huairu's face suddenly darkened when she heard this.
He glared at He Yuzhu fiercely and said coldly: "Are you confused? What is our relationship with him? Why should he lend us his car?"
He Yuzhu also realized that he had said the wrong thing and scratched his head embarrassedly.
"This...what should we do? We can't let you give birth to a baby and have to walk to the hospital, right?"
Qin Huairu sighed helplessly, gritting her teeth in hatred.
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Yi Zhonghai had an idea.
"How about we go to Old Li's house and borrow a tricycle?"
"Tricycle?" Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu asked in unison.
"Yes!" Yi Zhonghai slapped his thigh proudly. "The old man only has a three-wheeled motorcycle, which is not very useful in normal times. It can be borrowed for emergency use."
Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard this. Yes, it's better than walking!
At that moment, He Yuzhu quickly ran to find Lao Li and borrowed the tricycle with great effort.
Qin Huairu was stunned when she saw it.
This is not a tricycle at all, it's clearly a dilapidated cart! The mottled body is covered with rust, and the squeaking wheels make it look like it will fall apart at any time.
But now there is no time to be picky.
Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and managed to climb into the car with the help of He Yuzhu and an old lady.
After a bumpy journey and many twists and turns, we finally arrived at the hospital.
Everyone worked together to carry Qin Huairu into the ward.
Jia Zhang stood at the door of the ward, praying and saying, "Oh God, please bless my daughter-in-law to give birth to a big fat boy! This is the continuation of the Jia family's bloodline, please don't let me down!"
He Yuzhu frowned as he listened.
Hey, this old woman, she's just worrying about useless things! Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's still a baby, right?
He couldn't help but interrupt, "Aunt Zhang, stop thinking about it! Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's a blessing to be born safely. Why would you be so picky?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang jumped up immediately.
He glared at He Yuzhu fiercely and cursed, "What the hell do you know?! The Jia family can't be cut off, we must give birth to a boy! What are you, an outsider, getting in the way?"
He Yuzhu wanted to refute, but Yi Zhonghai quickly pulled him away. "Come on, stop talking. This guy is someone you can't afford to offend now!"
An old lady beside her whispered to comfort him: "Huai Ru is lucky, she will definitely have a son, so don't get involved!"
He Yuzhu shrugged helplessly and had to shut up and say no more.
Just like that, Qin Huairu was pushed into the delivery room amid Jia Zhang's mumbling prayers.
The following night, there was complete silence outside the ward, with only Qin Huairu's faint moans being heard from time to time.
Jia Zhang kept pacing at the door, muttering to herself.
Yi Zhonghai and his wife were also standing by, anxiously waiting, with worry written all over their faces.
He Yuzhu also didn't sleep a wink all night.
He kept wondering in his heart: Why hasn't the baby been born yet? Could it be a difficult birth?
Just when everyone was at a loss, the sound of a baby crying was finally heard from the delivery room.
Everyone was cheered up and rushed to meet him.
The nurse came out holding a swaddling cloth and said to Jia Zhang with a smile: "Congratulations, it's a healthy baby girl!"
When Jia Zhang heard this, her face suddenly fell.
She stared in disbelief and stammered, "What did you say? Girl?"
"Yes, it's a girl." The nurse repeated, her tone unable to conceal her joy.
"And it's a beautiful baby with big eyes and a high nose bridge! This mother is really blessed."
When Jia Zhang heard this, she was furious.
She stood up suddenly and yelled at the delivery room: "Qin Huairu! You are useless! Your belly is so big, I thought you could give birth to a son, but it turned out to be a money-loser!"
"What a waste of joy! What sin did our Jia family commit to give birth to Xiaodang and a girl? Isn't this going to end our family lineage?"
Jia Zhang cursed and swore until her teeth were about to break.
She glared at the delivery room with disappointment and turned away.
"I don't care! This little girl can do whatever she wants, it has nothing to do with me anyway!"
Looking at Jia Zhang's angrily leaving, He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai looked at each other.
After a while, He Yuzhu finally came to his senses and shouted to the aunt: "Hurry! Grandma is gone, we have to go see the child!"
As he spoke, he excitedly snatched the swaddling clothes from the nurse's hand, his eyes lighting up.
"Oh, what a pretty girl! Her eyes are like grapes, her nose is like corn, and her mouth is like a cherry. Isn't she much better than my son?"
Looking at the baby girl's rosy face, He Yuzhu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He looked left and right, couldn't let go, and wanted to take the child home.
The lady rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Hey, Zhuzi, why are you so happy? This is not your daughter!"
"Is it not okay for me to be happy?" He Yuzhu said with a playful smile. "This is our new little cotton-padded jacket. It will be something to play with in the future! I will definitely treat her well and buy her candy every day!"
Yi Zhonghai smiled and shook his head.
……
On the other side, Jia Zhang returned home angrily and started cursing as soon as she entered the house.
"It's all because of that useless Qin Huairu! Her belly was so big, I thought she would give birth to a big fat boy, but in the end, she gave birth to a money-loser!"
Jia Zhang stamped her feet in frustration, her face twisted with anger.
Jia Dongxu, who was lying in bed, heard the noise, raised himself up with great effort, and asked, "Mom, is the baby born? How is it?"
Jia Zhang snorted and said viciously: "She is still a girl! She is useless, she only knows how to cry and can't even drink enough milk! I don't know who she looks like, she doesn't look like a member of the Jia family at all!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu's face darkened.
As the only son of the Jia family, what he hoped most was to have more sons to carry on the family line and bring honor to the family.
Who knew that with such a big belly, she actually gave birth to a girl? It was a bolt from the blue!
"It's all that bitch Qin Huairu's fault! Other people's wives can give birth to a house full of babies in just a few years, but she dragged it out for so long, and in the end, she still has a girl!" Jia Dongxu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could scold Qin Huairu to death.
Jia Zhang chimed in, "That's right! We raised her for so many years for no reason, and she ate and lived in our house, but in the end she gave birth to a money-losing child. It's simply a waste of our Jia family's hard-earned money!"
The mother and son argued with each other and scolded Qin Huairu severely.
The resentment and dissatisfaction were about to overflow from the room.
……
The next morning, Li Yang got up early and went to work.
As soon as I walked into the office and sat down, Secretary Zhang knocked on the door and came in, smiling and saying, "Li Yang, do you have anything to do today? I want to chat with you."
Li Yang hurriedly asked him to sit down and poured him a cup of hot tea.
Secretary Zhang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "It's like this, the organization thinks highly of you and thinks you are young and promising. The whole factory is optimistic about you. So, we are also very concerned about your life and work."
Li Yang felt warm at heart when he heard this, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern. I have always been taken care of by the organization in our factory, and I am really grateful."
Secretary Zhang smiled and waved his hands, then continued: "You deserve this. However, the organization has recently conducted some research and feels that the place you live in now may not be safe."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Li Yang was a little confused.
"Think about it, there have been thefts before. We investigated and found that the courtyard was full of all kinds of people, and anyone could come in and out. The awareness of prevention was too poor. Besides, you hang out with all kinds of people all day long, which has a bad influence." Secretary Zhang said seriously.
Li Yang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Secretary Zhang was right. The courtyard was indeed a mess. For a young technical backbone like me, it was indeed beneath my status to live there.
Seeing Li Yang's hesitation, Secretary Zhang added: "The organization has also considered it again and again. We think it would be better for you to move to the cadre building. First, it is safe, second, it is quiet, and third, it is convenient for us to take care of you, right?"
Li Yang was still somewhat unhappy when he heard this.
He knew that although the conditions in the cadre building were good, there were too many residents, and people were coming and going all day long. How could there be any peace and quiet?
Besides, if I move there, I will inevitably have to attend social events and won't be able to devote myself to work.
Thinking of this, Li Yang asked tentatively: "Leader, how about...can you give me a house with a private entrance and yard? I'm young and not afraid of poverty. I just want a quiet place to concentrate on technology."
When Secretary Zhang heard this, he was stunned at first, then he smiled knowingly.
He turned around and winked at Deputy Director Li standing beside him: "Old Li, do you think there is a suitable house in our factory? It should be a quiet one."
Deputy Director Li quickly took out his notebook, flipped through it, and said, "Yes, there is. Opposite the courtyard where Li Yang lives now, there is another small courtyard with two entrances. It's just a few years old and in a shabby state."
Li Yang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Leader, that's it! Just give it to me and I'll fix it myself!"
