Chapter 69 Sophora japonica
"How can you be so generous, uncle? You are too polite. I have a big appetite and eat a lot." Wang Xiaohu pretended to be pretentious. Now he felt that the people in this courtyard were quite interesting. As long as they didn't act like monsters, they were really a group of ordinary people.
"Forget about the meal. As long as you have never done anything wrong in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night. As long as you haven't done anything wrong, it's fine."
He didn't dare to eat the food prepared by these two people. If he did, they would give him an excuse to accuse him of being Wang Xiaohu and saying that the captain of the security department had eaten their food. How could he survive in the future?
Yan Bugui nodded with satisfaction. Just hearing this sentence was enough, and he could have a piece of salted fish left.
Yi Zhonghai was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Shazhu appeared outside pulling a cart and eased his embarrassment.
"Sha Zhu, slow down and let me hold the child. How are you, Qin Huairu?" Yi Zhonghai was also secretly resentful. After Jia Zhang found out that it was a daughter, she refused to let Qin Huairu stay with him for even a day longer. Sha Zhu went over to take Qin Huairu and the child back after work.
If he had a biological daughter, he would definitely spoil her to the heavens. How could he be so indifferent to her?
Looking at the child in his arms, he was different from other newborn babies, with fair and tender skin, and two little eyes staring at him blankly, which made his heart melt.
"Alas... it's a pity that he is not my biological child." Yi Zhonghai sighed inwardly. He was still very obsessed with biological children. Over the years, he had seen many people adopt children, but when they grew up a little, they were taken back by their biological parents, leaving them with nothing. So he didn't want to adopt a child now, he just wanted to pick up a ready-made one.
"Sister, Mom~ I have a sister again." Qin Huairu came back with a lot of noise. Banggeng ran over with Xiaodang. Maybe this is his only advantage.
Wang Xiaohu also admitted that this future thief king loved his sister, which was much better than other boys. However, his character was distorted by Jia Zhang, and with the indulgence of Sha Zhu and the tolerance of Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard, he felt that stealing things was not stealing, but only taking, which was profit-driven.
"So cute, I have a little sister again." Bang Geng looked at the little one in Yi Zhonghai's arms and wanted to hug her immediately.
"Banggeng, where's your grandmother?" Qin Huairu got off the cart with the help of Sha Zhu. She was very weak and felt like she was going to fall down at any time. This time, she couldn't stand the bumpy ride on the way to the countryside and her water broke. Fortunately, Sha Zhu was there with her, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Bang Geng looked at his sister in his arms and blurted out without thinking: "Grandma said she doesn't want to see money-losing stuff, but my sister is so cute, she's not a money-losing stuff."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Huairu clenched her hands a little bit, then she endured it and decided to wait until she was done with the confinement. She really didn't have the energy to make a fuss now.
"Sister, what is a money-losing item?" Wang Sankuai asked curiously.
"Eh? This..." Wang Jiujin rolled his eyes, "A money-loser is just like Banggeng's grandmother, who only knows how to eat and sleep, and does nothing else."
"So this is a money-losing product. I am not. I can also make matchboxes." Wang Sankuai's childish words made everyone speechless about Jia Zhangshi. Look, a five-year-old child can work to supplement the family income, but she, on the other hand, has not even finished sewing a pair of shoes for a year.
At this moment, Qin Huairu didn't want to refute, and didn't even respond to Wang Jiujin's jokes. Although his grandmother loved him very much, he also felt that his grandmother was too lazy.
"Excuse me, everyone. Children speak without restraint." Wang Xiaolong stepped forward and saluted, then patted Wang Jiujin's head. "How many times have I told you that even if you are telling the truth, you can't say it carelessly in any situation."
Wang Jiujin dodged the second blow on the head, jumped away and shouted, "I know, don't hit me on the head, it will make me stupid."
"Has this child been named?" Yi Zhonghai suddenly asked.
"It hasn't been named yet. Uncle, you are Dongxu's master, so you can pick a name. I think Dongxu will agree with it." Qin Huairu had her own ideas. This incident really scared her. She felt helpless and insecure.
Letting Yi Zhonghai name the child is also to let the child get more familiar with him in the future, even if he stutters more.
Yi Zhonghai was stunned, but did not refuse. Instead, he looked at a tree in the next yard.
He immediately had an idea and asked, "Xiaohu, is that a locust tree in your yard?"
Wang Xiaohu turned around and looked. Could this be the reason why it was named Sophora japonica? He nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know why, but after the Sophora japonica tree in my yard bloomed, there are still a few flowers. It has strong vitality."
"This child lost his father before he was born. His life will be hard in the future. It's good that he has such a strong vitality. I think we should name him Huaihua." After saying this, Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu.
"Huaihua...Jia Huaihua, what a nice name." Qin Huairu looked at the child tenderly, picked him up, and shook him a little. Huaihua seemed very satisfied with the name and smiled happily.
"Sister is smiling, it's so pretty~" Bang Geng exclaimed, "Huaihua also smiles at her brother."
"What are you all standing here for? Qin Huairu, why don't you go back quickly? You should take care of yourself after giving birth. If you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, it will be a lifelong problem." At this time, the third aunt came out. As a mother of several children, she knew too well the importance of confinement period.
Qin Huairu also has experience, but she was angered by Jia Zhang's attitude. After all, the child is Jia Dongxu's child, and there should be a limit to favoring boys over girls.
Qin Huairu herself also favors boys over girls, but her Qin family treats her two daughters the same, otherwise she would not have the opportunity to go to junior high school.
"Give me the child. Third aunt, please bear with me and support her." The first aunt also arrived, and the two aunts together sent Qin Huairu into the Jia family.
Seeing that nothing happened, Wang Xiaohu went back to rest. A lot of things happened today and he was a little tired.
"Dad, are we going to steam this salted fish?" Yan Jiecheng asked while licking his lips when he saw that everyone had left.
"What are you eating? I'm hungry tonight and have no appetite." Yan Bugui was frightened today and couldn't eat anything.
All of the Yan family's children wailed at this, and Yan Jiecheng was even more unwilling: "No, I've been doing odd jobs all day, I can't bear it without eating something, and I have to pay for food every month. Dad, if you don't want to eat, then return the money to me."
"I see that you don't want to get married anymore. Now that all the food has been eaten up, what should we do with the wedding banquet? Just bear with it." As long as Yan Bugui doesn't want to eat, he has a hundred reasons to convince others.
"..."
Lao Wang's family.
"Hey? Where is my secret book?" Wang Xiaolong came back and started rummaging through the drawers looking for something.
"Brother, what did you lose?" Wang Xiaohu was drunk and munching on a steamed bun made of two grains of flour. It tasted really good.
"The secret book for picking the dangling lock you gave me is gone."
"What! This is so embarrassing."
Wang Xiaohu was shocked. If it was taken by someone with bad intentions, it would be aiding and abetting evil and would be detrimental to his moral character.
