Vol 3 Chapter 376: gave birth
(If it is incoherent, you can go back and read the previous chapter, and one error has been corrected. Although Zhang Mingsheng owns two boats, it is difficult for him to earn three thousand in half a year when he is not lucky. It has been changed to two thousand now. )
When Li Duoyu and the others rushed home, they found that all the doors of their neighbors were closed.
On the path leading to their home, the second sister-in-law, Zhu Xiuhua, was sitting on the **** with a pole.
Just sitting there, she gave people an aura of "one woman is in charge, but ten thousand people are not allowed to open it".
If Shuihua wanted to be a knight when she was a child, she probably had to practice, but the second sister-in-law was different, she was born to be Lu Zhishen.
Zhang Mingsheng saw that the doors of his neighbors on both sides were closed and there was no one on the road. He couldn't help but ask:
“Duoyu, where have all your neighbors gone?”
“Summer vacation is here, everyone should go out to visit relatives, or help take care of the children.”
When Li Duoyu said this, Zhang Mingsheng immediately understood that the matter of Shui Huahua's child must be troublesome to them.
After the children are born, they must be given some gifts.
When Li Duoyu returned home, he found his father playing with little Tutu at the door. The door of the room where Shuihua lived was closed tightly, and screams of pain could be heard from time to time.
Zhang Mingsheng smiled and said hello to his father-in-law first, then hurriedly knocked on the door and said: "Shui Hua, my Mingsheng, I'm here."
Since the room was very small, there were already many people helping. Seeing a man knocking on the door, Po Wen said angrily:
“I’ve given birth to several children, and I’m still frizzy. It’s not my first time to be a father, so don’t worry, just go outside and wait.”
Chen Huiying also shouted: "Shuihua already knows, Mingsheng, you go outside and wait first."
Zhang Mingsheng smiled awkwardly. It seemed that when a woman gave birth to a child, it was the most useless time for a man. He could not help at all and could only wait.
As soon as little Tutu saw Li Duoyu, he stepped on his little feet and ran over immediately.
“Slow down, don’t run so fast.”
Little Tutu ran up to Li Duoyu, became unsteady, and knelt down on the spot, but immediately got up again.
He was holding a watermelon candy wrapped in transparent plastic paper in his hand: "Dad, open it for me, I want to eat candy."
Li Duoyu glanced at Lao Li.
“Why did you buy sweets for little Tutu again? I told you that it is easy for children to get stuck in their throats when eating sweets.”
Lao Li tilted his head to one side and muttered in a low voice: "If this kid doesn't buy him candy, he doesn't want to pay attention to me at all."
Li Duoyu confiscated the candy on the spot and educated her: "My teeth haven't even grown yet, and I eat candy all day long."
After meeting my father-in-law.
Zhang Mingsheng was still a little afraid of him. After all, Comrade Li rarely smiled, but he still went up and handed him a cigarette.
“Dad, do you want to smoke?”
Lao Li took the cigarette and did not scold him: "If this kind of thing happens in the future, come here and find out if it happens earlier."
Zhang Mingsheng nodded and said: "Dad, I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
“You understand, whatever I say is fine.”
Seeing Lao Li put the cigarette to his mouth and was about to dig into his pocket, Zhang Mingsheng quickly took out the matchbox and lit the cigarette in his father-in-law's mouth.
After seeing that the candy was confiscated, little Tutu puffed up her mouth and said, "Dad, go take a boat."
Li Duoyu frowned and said, "You kid, why are you not stealing food or playing around all day long?"
Zhang Mingsheng smiled and said: "Just get used to it. This is how children at this stage are."
Lao Li, who was smoking a cigarette, said with disdain: "You were even more difficult to handle when you were a child. Not only were you greedy and playful, but now you are seven or eight years old, you often secretly pee in the middle of the night. If you did, you would falsely accuse Xiaoying of peeing."
Li Duoyu, who was exposed in public, felt embarrassed and frowned: "Comrade Li, your son is now the village director, can you give him a little face?"
Lao Li snorted: "I gave you face, who gave me face? You secretly gave Chen Youtian and others a five-dollar salary increase?"
Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, as expected, he still couldn’t hide it.
“Seafood has become more expensive recently, and labor prices have also increased.”
Li Duoyu is really right about this. Affected by the general environment this year, many units have begun to increase salaries this year.
"If they fish like that, the price will rise wherever they go. Besides, after harvesting the kelp, there are only oyster fields now. There is no need for so many people. Quickly quit them. I can do it alone. In that case, a month You can also save a hundred or two hundred dollars.”
Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I just let them rest for a few days. There will be big work again soon. After that, they will probably be very tired."
Old Li was startled for a moment, frowned and said:
“Duoyu, what are you going to do?”
Li Duoyu said directly: "I'm going to fence the tidal flat and raise a batch of blue crabs or something like that."
Lao Li frowned: "What's the point of raising blue crabs? Just catch them." "There are so few blue crabs that it's hard to catch them. Look at the Zhao brothers, they used to dig through the mangroves every day." , I can only catch five or six in a day, and the price is still expensive. "
Zhang Mingsheng agreed and said: "I also think that there is a lot of fish to be said. Recently, blue crabs have indeed become more and more expensive, and the blue crabs we have are becoming more and more difficult to catch. During the Chinese New Year, the price has increased to one dollar."
Lao Li still feels something is wrong:
“You already raise so many things. If you raise blue crabs, can you handle them?”
Li Duoyu glanced at the second sister-in-law who was not far away, and whispered: "This time, not only am I the only one who raises the child, but the second brother and Xiao Chao also have shares. Do you want my brother-in-law to raise it too?"
Zhang Mingsheng frowned and said: "I really have no money. If you hadn't helped me this time, I would have had to sell the boat. I still owe you the money I spent on the big boat last time."
Lao Li thought for a while and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "That's not right. How can the two of them have the money to buy shares?"
“Human resources become shares.”
Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, do you want to come too? Just come over and help."
“But I still have two fishing boats at home.”
“Just sell the boat directly and come and engage in farming with me. I’m sure you’ll make more money than fishing.”
Li Duoyu remembers his previous life very clearly. His brother-in-law also sold his fishing boat in the past few years and switched to eel farming. He borrowed part of the money he spent smuggling across the island country.
Zhang Mingsheng thought about it for a while and found that Li Duoyu's proposal was really good. To be honest, he was not happy in Shanggang Village.
Although he made a lot of money, his neighbors often used the fact that his wife could not give birth to a son to disgust him.
Their family lives in Shanggang Village.
He is unhappy.
Shuihua is not happy either.
The eldest sister and the second sister are not happy either.
In their place, if a boy cannot be born, it is as if the whole family is guilty.
Although Xiasha Village also favors boys over girls, it is not that serious. After all, it is a village with hundreds of surnames. It is very tolerant in all aspects and is not exclusive. There is no such thing as an ancestral hall.
The person who everyone worships the most is Mazu, and Li Duoyu, the village director with very upright views, is here.
To be honest, living in Xiasha Village is really pleasant. Coupled with Li Shuguang and Li Yaoguo, they are very nice people and can talk easily. We can even play mahjong and drink together.
In the past, I disliked my second sister-in-law, Zhu Xiuhua, because she was foul-mouthed and always liked to be yin and yang.
But when I saw her guarding the intersection with a pole just now, I found that this person had many faults, but his essence was still good.
While they were chatting.
The house where Li Shuihua was located suddenly heard continuous screams.
Everyone also heard Po Wen’s voice: “You’ve given birth twice, why are you still so afraid of pain? Be brave, you can already see your head. If you use more force, it will come out soon.”
Listen to the screams one after another.
The three men outside were all worried when they heard it. When little Tutu heard the sound, she hugged Li Duoyu's calf tightly.
“Dad, hug me.”
After Li Duoyu picked up little Tutu, the boy got directly into his arms.
“My aunt is giving birth to a sister for you, so there is nothing to be afraid of.”
Zhang Mingsheng on the side frowned when he heard this. He felt a little strange. He hadn't given birth yet. How did Duoyu know that he was giving birth to a sister.
After thinking about it for a while, I thought it was Duoyu who said it casually, so I didn’t take it to heart.
The heart-wrenching sound lasted for about two hours, and the sound became quieter toward the back.
Not long after, a cry of "Wow...wow..." came from the room.
Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves. His entire back was wet, and the cigarette in his hand almost reached his fingers.
At this moment, he was really scared.
Because he hasn't heard the sound of "announcement of good news" yet. He has seen other families giving birth to children. Once a son is born, Po Wen will announce the good news loudly and say a few nice words by the way.
At this time, family members must give red envelopes to Wen Po.
And red envelopes,
Zhang Mingsheng has been ready for a long time. (End of chapter)
