Chapter 288: Clown Ugly
Li Liang is going to be an elder brother again, and his little aunt Liu Juying is about to give birth. Liu Juying's due date was the end of September, and the little guy was so happy in his mother's womb that he didn't want to come out, so he delayed it until October 1.
As early as when the due date was approaching, Li Liang's grandmother went to the city from the countryside and lived in the small courtyard rented by Wang Fagen to take care of her daughter-in-law. In the past few days of the due date, Wang Fagen himself was also very nervous, discussed with Zou Guangguang, Zhang Meng and others, and took a few days off in advance to guard his wife at home.
Li Liang's supermarket first planned to ask Liu Juying to take maternity leave in advance and come to the store to help. Later, Li Liang's aunt Wang Xiuyan came to the store to help, but Wang Xiulan did not invite Liu Juying to come over. However, during this time, as long as they are free, Wang Xiulan and her sister Wang Xiuyan will take the time to knit sweaters, wool vests and other children's winter clothes for the unborn little ones in the supermarket.
"Eldest sister, my sister-in-law was sent to the hospital last night, my mother and my brother are both taking care of my sister-in-law in the hospital, you stewed chicken soup in the morning, and we will send it over at noon, right?" Wang Xiuyan said while there were few customers in the store.
Last night, Liu Juying's stomach began to hurt, it seemed that she was about to have a seizure, Wang Fagen borrowed a flatbed truck from a neighbor, and pushed his wife to the People's Hospital with his mother to prepare for delivery.
When she went out to buy vegetables in the morning, Wang Xiulan deliberately found the kind of farmer who went to the city to sell local chickens in the market and bought two local chickens. When he got home, he killed one and stewed on the stove, and the other was raised on the balcony of the house.
Li Liang happened to be at home during the holiday, so he took over the task of stewing chicken from his mother, and every once in a while, he had to stuff a piece of chopped firewood into the stove. Li Liang's family still burns firewood for cooking, and the original courtyard of his house is uninhabited, so it has become a place for storing firewood at home. Every few days, his father, Li Shuangzhu, would go to the original courtyard to carry a bundle of firewood back to the second floor.
"Okay, then you sent it over at noon, by the way, you bring another bucket of 'Le Kou Fu', this thing is delicious, nutritious and rich, and it is the most suitable for your sister-in-law to drink now." In the future, when the baby grows up, the baby can also drink!" Wang Xiulan advised.
Le Koufu is actually malt milk essence, which is a nutritious drink that accompanied the growth of children in the seventies and eighties, which is equivalent to the milk powder of the post-90s and post-00s.
This kind of instant milk-containing nutritious solid drink developed rapidly after the introduction from abroad, using milk, cream, malt essence, egg powder as the main raw materials, the taste is quite to, the price is not expensive, the average person is not willing to buy and eat often.
Li Liang's own supermarket has this kind of Le Kou Fu for sale, so Wang Xiulan said to let her sister bring another bucket of Le Kou Fu over.
"Sister, when I give birth to a child in the future, you can't be partial!" Wang Xiuyan said with a smile.
"Don't worry, it's indispensable for you to eat!" Wang Xiulan also smiled, "Xiuyan, seriously, you really have to find a partner quickly, you are a few months apart from Mengmeng, you are an aunt, don't fall behind Mengmeng!"
During this time, Wang Xiulan vaguely knew that Zhang Meng was very attentive to her daughter Mengmeng. When Mengmeng went to Gannan City to study photography, Zhang Meng came to the house to ask about Mengmeng several times. Later, Mengmeng came back, Zhang Meng saw that Mengmeng's shop was not doing well, and he himself and his friends came over to take pictures, and tried every possible way to take care of his daughter's photo studio business.
Zhang Meng's child Wang Xiulan grew up watching from a young age, when she was studying, her grades were not good, she often caused trouble outside of school, she was the eldest among her peers, and even her son Li Liang had been following Zhang Meng's ass since he was a child, and it was only better in the past two years, although he had a good relationship with Zhang Meng, he was no longer a role that followed his ass.
Wang Xiulan has such a thought in her mind, I don't know how our protagonist Li Liang feels when he hears it, the feelings are in his mother's mind, Li Liang has been following Zhang Meng since he was a child!
In Wang Xiulan's impression, Zhang Meng is mixed, but he is not bad, and he knows how to help the family work since he was a child. Especially after graduating from high school, he took the initiative to give up the idea of going to the coal yard to work as a substitute and give this precious opportunity to his eldest sister Zhang Xin. You must know that at that time, their father Zhang Qingxiang's patriarchal thinking was still quite serious, and he wanted his eldest son Zhang Meng to go to the coal yard to replace him.
However, although Wang Xiulan has a good impression of Zhang Meng, Mengmeng, a daughter who has been raised by herself for nearly 20 years and is charming and charming, she loves this daughter very much in her heart, and she is very reluctant to marry her daughter to Zhang Meng like this. But as the old saying goes, if a woman doesn't stay, the key to the specifics depends on her daughter's own thoughts.
"Oh, eldest sister, what are you talking about!" Wang Xiuyan was a little embarrassed.
"Xiuyan, I'm not joking with you, you're a few months older than Mengmeng, it's time to find it!" Wang Xiulan is not embarrassed, she is a person from the past, and she knows that women's families have to go through such a process.
When she fell in love with her husband Li Shuangzhu, she was admitted to the county textile factory after graduating from junior high school. At that time, she was only a teenager, and her family was rural at that time, and she did not have many acquaintances in the city. I finally met a boy from the next village, who also worked in a textile factory, and he was quite concerned about himself. Slowly the two came together and got married, so it has been more than 20 years, time flies so fast, and the years are really unforgiving!
"Got it, eldest sister, but I really haven't met anyone I like now!" Wang Xiuyan said.
Wang Xiuyan originally graduated from junior high school and worked in the family farm for a few years, many people came to the house to propose marriage, but at that time, she regarded her eldest sister Wang Xiulan as her role model in her heart, and she was unwilling to find a random partner in the countryside, and lived a life in the fields and in a mess. So every time someone came to propose, she insisted on disagreeing, and gradually, people in the surrounding villages knew that Wang Xiuyan was high-spirited, and there were fewer people who came to propose.
Last year, with the help of her nephew Li Liang, she came to Chen Chunhua's Wangke to work, working in a restaurant in the city. It's just that she's busy with work, and she doesn't have the heart or time to fall in love.
"Xiuyan, if you really think like this, then I will ask your brother-in-law to help you find a person in the factory!" Wang Xiulan saw that her sister Wang Xiuyan was not resistant to talking about marriage, so she said with a smile.
Wang Xiuyan did not speak out against it, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence. If she could find a formal state worker in the textile factory, Wang Xiuyan would still be quite satisfied.
However, if Li Liang knew about this idea, he would definitely oppose it. With the advancement of reform and opening up and economic and social development, those small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises have gradually declined because of the problems of system and mechanism, and only some large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises directly under the central government and the province are left, relying on the advantages of policies and resources, and will continue to operate the nourishment. If Wang Xiuyan finds a textile factory worker now, the factory may close down and the personnel will be laid off in a few years.
At noon, Wang Xiuyan was on duty at the supermarket alone, Wang Xiulan and Master Zhao in the store went home to eat, Wang Xiulan hurriedly went upstairs, and her son Li Liang had already fried two dishes at home.
"Son, you're awesome!"
Wang Xiulan looked at the two bowls of dishes on the table, one was braised eggplant, and the other was braised pork stewed with dried beans, and she was very happy.
"Mom, wash your hands and eat quickly, I'll send food to my grandmother and brother-in-law later!" Li Liang said with a smile.
He had nothing to do at home during the National Day holiday today, and he happened to go to deliver food to his grandmother.
"Your aunt said that she will go too, let's go with the two of you later, you can eat too, and send it to your sister first after eating. During this time, your sister's photo studio has a good business, and it is estimated that I don't have time to go upstairs for dinner at noon today!" Wang Xiulan did not forget her daughter Li Meng.
"Okay!"
After eating, Li Liang hurriedly used a big bowl to fill a bowl of rice, sandwiched some vegetables, and sent them to Li Meng in the photo studio on the first floor. Wang Xiulan returned to the supermarket and replaced Wang Xiuyan upstairs to eat.
"Sister, come and eat!"
Li Liang entered the photo studio with a bowl of rice, there was no one in the photo studio, the door of the hut in the middle was closed, it seemed that my sister should be washing photos inside.
"Got it, you put it on the table outside, and I'll come out to eat after washing these two photos!"
Li Liang waited outside for a few minutes, and Li Meng came out of the back printing room, and saw that his younger brother Li Liang was still waiting in the store, so he smiled and said, "Liangzi, I don't know if my little aunt gave birth, did you go to the hospital in the morning?"
"No, I'm watching the chicken soup at home in the morning, and I'll go to the hospital with my aunt to deliver food later!" Li Liang replied.
"Then my sister will go with you later!" Li Meng said.
"Aren't you busy in the shop?" Li Liang said in surprise.
"It's okay, I'll hurry up and get back later, just put a sign at the door to explain!" Li Meng said.
"Okay, why don't you close the door now, and I'll bring the food back!"
"That's fine!"
Li Meng and her aunt Wang Xiuyan had lunch together, so they used a thermos bucket to carry the chicken and chicken soup stewed by Li Liang in the morning, loaded two bowls of rice, and went to the hospital with a bag of fruits and Lekoufu.
Li Meng is familiar with the hospital, she has worked in the hospital for several years, and when she returned to the hospital again, she smelled the cordial smell, and suddenly felt a little reluctant.
When she arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology department, Li Meng asked a familiar nurse and soon found the delivery room where her aunt was.
Liu Juying has not yet given birth, her stomach hurts for a while, and the anxious Wang Fagen turns around, bluntly saying that after the child is born, he will teach the child a good lesson, and the wife of the child's toss is uncomfortable.
"Uncle, you can get it, when your little nephew is born, where will you be willing to fight!" Li Liang teased.
"Liangzi, you see if I'm willing to give up!" Wang Fagen said fiercely.
Liu Juying said angrily: "Wang Fagen, do you want to be angry with me, I am not willing to fight for ten months of pregnancy, do you dare to try?" Liu Juying was tossed by the child in her belly when it hurt and did not hurt, and her mood was very irritable.
Wang Fagen hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, listen to you, listen to you, listen to you!"
Then he put his hands together and said, "Oh, my little ancestor, you hurry up and come out, don't toss your mother anymore!"
Li Liang thought it was funny when he saw it, and joked: "Little aunt, maybe the little nephew feels sorry for you, I'm afraid that you won't have enough food and no strength, come and eat some chicken, drink some chicken soup, and only then will you have the strength to have a child!"
"Yes, Juying, eat quickly!" Li Liang's grandmother said happily, "Liangzi is right, you eat more, and you will have strength later!"
Liu Juying was amused by Li Liang's words: "Okay, I want to eat more!"
Strange to say, as soon as she drank a bowl of chicken soup, her stomach began to start, and the pain became intense.
Li Meng had experience, so she hurriedly ran out of the room to find a doctor and nurse.
After a while, several doctors and nurses hurriedly entered the ward with a transfer cart, and several people worked together to lift Liu Juying to the cart and send her to the delivery room.
Wang Fagen had just taken two mouthfuls of food, and now he couldn't take care of the food, so he followed him to the delivery room and was stopped by a nurse outside the delivery room. Wang Fagen could only stomp his feet without pain, and wanted to take out a cigarette from his pocket several times to smoke, but just felt out the cigarette and put it back.
Li Liang and the others were also nervous, and they all stayed outside the delivery room.
She has worked in the hospital for several years, and she is used to such things, she has confidence in her former colleagues, after all, the obstetrics and gynecology department of Hekang County People's Hospital is very famous in the whole region, and the doctors here are very good.
"Uncle, why don't you smoke one to relieve the relief?" Li Liang asked.
"Your little aunt won't let you, saying that you can't smoke the child!"
"Haha!"
Li Liang smiled, my uncle is so cute.
Li Liang's little nephew is really cute, he started to have labor pains last night, and he took it off for a day, and after pushing into the delivery room, it only took more than half an hour to jump out of his mother's belly.
"Congratulations, it's a big fat boy!" Several doctors and nurses pushed Liu Juying out of the ward, and a nurse was holding a small baby with gray-white fat in her hand, crying loudly, Li Liang knew that it was vernix.
"Oh, it's so ugly! It's very similar to Ryoko when she was a child!" Li Meng said with a smile when she saw the little baby.
"Sister, you're only three years older than me, how can you remember?" Li Liang teased.
"Hehe, I just remember!" Li Meng said proudly.
Sending Liu Juying to the ward, the doctor called Wang Fagen and Li Liang's grandmother aside and explained to them in detail some common sense that pregnant women need to pay attention to.
Liu Juying turned her head, looked at the little baby whose face was wrinkled and sleeping quietly beside her, and felt that life was perfect like this!
"Little sister-in-law, you can sleep for a while!" Wang Xiuyan said.
Liu Juying nodded silently, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"It's so tiring to have a baby!" Li Meng sighed in a low voice.
"Yes!" Wang Xiuyan also felt the same way!
