The days passed, and after a month of recuperation, Zhu Wan went to work at "Guangren Hospital".

Xiao Qin Di stayed at home and was taken care of by his nurse.

He ate an astonishing amount of food, and although the family invited two wet nurses, they still couldn't feed him.

Two months later, he was able to move a finger.

Three months later, the five fingers of his right hand were bent and he was able to make a half-fist.

Zhu Wan saw the slightest change in her son, and every small change made her happy: "Han Cheng, look, the child's hand can move! Don't worry, he will get better." ”

Qin Hancheng didn't think about it, because if a three-month-old child, if it was normal, would definitely be grabbing his hands and kicking his feet, crying and laughing, and crying at night with his throat pulled! But what about his son? He would only lie quietly, not crying a word, and never laughing! If such a child could get better, it would be a miracle!

Half a year later, one night, night fell.

At dinner time, the electric lights on the roof shine glow yellow.

In 1879, electricity began to be available in the magic capital, and after entering the twentieth century, electric lights have become popular in large households.

Qin Hancheng and Zhu Wan sat opposite each other, a two-year-old girl sat on one side, and little Qin Di was lying in a stroller.

The maid Chen's mother served the dishes, and the family of four began to eat.

Here is a little bit about the situation of the Qin family.

The Qin family compound is located in the "public concession", only one mile away from the Huangpu River.

The so-called "public concession" refers to the combined name of the British Concession and the American Concession.

From Qin's house to the south, less than two hundred meters, is the north gate of the county seat, which is later known as Yu Garden.

From the county seat to the west, there is a wide range of "French Concession", which extends to Xujiahui.

The Qin family compound is boxy, composed of four adjacent Shikumen buildings, and there is a garden covering an area of two or three acres in the middle.

Shikumen is a characteristic building of the magic capital, combining Jiangnan houses and British villas to form a unique style, divided into three floors, the living room and the stove room at the bottom, the bedroom and the pavilion room at the top, and the attic, sundeck and dormer window on the top.

The ancestor of the Qin family, Qin Di's grandfather is a native of Ningbo, but a person in the Xianfeng period, although he has not been a high-ranking official, but he has saved a family business, the family has 2,000 acres of fertile land, and has a business in Ningbo Port, and now he has passed away. He had two sons, the eldest son, Qin Zhaoan, who stayed in Ningbo to inherit the family business, and the second son, Qin Zhaoji, who was Qin Di's grandfather.

More than 20 years ago, Qin Zhaoji moved from Ningbo to the magic capital, opened a yarn factory here, hired hundreds of workers, and the business was quite prosperous. Today, the mill is getting bigger and bigger, employing more than 400 workers.

In addition, there is also a Chinese medicine shop at home, called 'Ci'an Tang', which is relatively small.

Qin Zhaoji had three sons, the eldest son, Qin Hanliang, dropped out of school as a teenager and followed him to manage the yarn factory. The second son is Qin Hancheng, that is, Qin Di's father, who was sent to the UK at the age of 20, studied for three years, and worked as a manager in a bank after returning. The third child is still young, and he was sent to Japan not long ago.

Qin Hanliang is older and married early, and he already has five or six children below.

Qin Hancheng has only one son and one daughter, and his daughter Qin Ling is more than two years old, healthy, lively and lovely;

The third Qin Hanxu did not get married, let alone have children.

Qin Zhaoji bought four neighboring houses and prepared one for each son, although they lived very closely, but because of the large number of people, it was difficult to reconcile the crowd, so on ordinary days, each family opened fire alone, and only during the New Year's holidays did they get together.

Qin Hancheng ate unhurriedly, his eyes fell on his innocent and lively daughter's face from time to time, but he rarely went to see his son.

To be honest, he was desperate for this son, and only hoped that after his wife recovered, he would have another healthy son. Of course, he didn't dare to say such things, let alone think about taking a concubine. Otherwise, Madame will be angry, and that will be terrible!

In this small family, Zhu Wan's status is not low.

She was born in a famous family, her ancestors came from Haining, and her father's name was "Zhu Mingcheng", who studied in the United States in 1878, and went to the United States at about the same time as Zhan Tianyou, but one was a self-funded young man and the other was a young child studying at public expense.

Today, Chu Mingcheng is the dean of the Upper College of Nanyang College.

Nanyang College is divided into the Upper, Intermediate and Lower Colleges, which are equivalent to universities, secondary schools and primary schools.

As the dean of the upper court, Zhu Mingcheng is naturally a famous scholar in the magic capital, and his reputation is much higher than that of the Qin family

Zhu Wan is a genuine doctor with superb medical skills, and I don't know how many people have been saved.

And what about Qin Hancheng? Although he nominally studied in England, he didn't learn much. For example, he is like Fang Hongjian in "The Siege of the City", many things can only be talked about, and his knowledge is only half-baked.

Fortunately, he knew his own shortcomings, and after returning to China, he was able to put down his body and do things in the bank, learning while doing it, and he didn't encounter too many difficulties.

While the husband and wife were eating, they had a small talk about whether they were a match or not.

The youngest daughter was babbling and singing beside her, opening her red mouth from time to time and swallowing the spoon handed by her mother.

Suddenly, she cried out in surprise, "Mommy, Mommy, look, my brother's hand...... Lifted up!"

Zhu Wan was taken aback, turned her head suddenly, and saw Qin Di's right hand, tremblingly raised, and her index finger happened to point at the sweet and sour carp on the table!

In an instant, Zhu Wanxi fell from the sky, and tears almost flowed out: "Oh my God! Adi can raise her right hand!"

She quickly got up, grabbed her son's arm to check, and found that there was already some muscle on her right arm!

However, Zhu Wan was very happy: "Ah Di, do you want to eat fish? This is not good, you are still young, you can't digest eating fish, give you millet porridge, okay?"

But Xiao Qin Di still raised his hand, his little hand trembled, his mouth was open, and he actually spoke: "Fish...... Eat...... Fish ......"

The words and sentences are simple, the pronunciation is clear, and suddenly it enters the ear, and Zhu Wan is suddenly stunned!

Qin Hancheng was also surprised, and the chopsticks fell on the table with a "snap"!

Generally speaking, it takes at least nine months for a child to speak! Some children speak late, even when they reach the age of three, they can't speak! Even when they do, they only call their parents, and they don't just say "eat fish" as soon as they come up!

Zhu Wan trembled her hands and hugged her son, her heart was very excited, and tears flowed down.

What she feared most was that the child was not only physically disabled, but also intellectually disabled, otherwise, why didn't he cry? Now that the child spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Graciful Father, you have really blessed me, my family is not stupid, he is very smart......

"Okay, okay, mom feeds you fish ......"

Of course, no matter how excited she was, she still had a bit of reason in her mind, so she only used chopsticks to pick up a trace of fish meat and put it in Qin Di's mouth.

Qin Di didn't follow, tried to straighten his fingers, and continued: "Eat fish...... Eating fish ......"

Zhu Wan was afraid that something would happen to him, so she naturally refused to feed him more.
