Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 118 Qin Huairu is pregnant

The next day, Li Ping'an and Sha Zhu went to work as usual, and many people in the courtyard went to see Yi Zhonghai off.

Yi Xingwang was in the front, wearing mourning clothes, being pulled by Yi Zhonghai's wife. Behind them, everyone pushed Yi Zhonghai's coffin slowly out of the city.

The story of a big boss in Siheyuan came to an end just like that.

A few days after Yi Zhonghai passed away, everyone was busy again. It was the end of the year again.

There are no good benefits for the steel mill this year. Just some worthless gadgets.

This year is probably the most difficult year for everyone. Many families can't even afford a meal of dumplings.

However, this situation does not apply to Li Ping'an's family, as his family still prepared a rich feast.

Chicken, duck, fish and meat were all available. He and Yu Li closed the door and started packing up early.

Li Ping'an had also sent some food to Yu Li's family a long time ago, so that they could have a similar New Year.

On the night of the 30th, some are happy while others are sad.

Li Pingan and Yu Li spent a happy New Year at home with their two children.

Most families in the courtyard had the same dishes as usual, with only one or two more cabbages or potatoes.

The family of Sha Zhu in Zhongyuan is different from other families. Three of them work in the kitchen, so they have enough food.

This year, Qin Huairu brought food to Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi early to stop them from coming to Shazhu's house to make trouble. Otherwise, with Shazhu and Wu Tingting's hatred for Banggeng, who knows what will happen.

Bang Geng has just recovered and his legs and arms have returned to normal.

But Banggeng still holds a grudge against Shazhu. He always thinks that it was Shazhu who asked someone to beat him up. Now he is still young, and this hatred is still hidden in his heart.

At night, He Daqing and Qin Huairu sat in the middle, with Sha Zhu and his wife on one side and He Yushui and Wu Lili on the other. He Xiaodang also sat at the table opposite.

He Daqing held up his glass and said, "Everyone has worked hard this year, let's have a drink together as a family."

As He Daqing finished his words, everyone picked up their wine glasses and tea and started drinking.

Then they all started eating.

There were chicken, fish and meat on his family’s dining table, which were all secretly brought back from the cafeteria by Sha Zhu and He Daqing.

When He Daqing picked up a piece of fish and placed it in front of Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu suddenly felt uncomfortable, and then quickly turned around and retched.

He Daqing patted her on the back and asked with concern: "Huai Ru, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Huairu took a sip of tea and said, "It's okay. I just felt uncomfortable when I smelled the fish meat. I wanted to vomit! But it's okay. You can eat the fish meat."

As he said this, he pushed the fish to He Daqing.

No one else was concerned. Only He Daqing muttered to himself, "Why do you feel like vomiting when you're fine? You used to love fish, too."

Qin Huairu was stunned by this sentence. Then Wu Tingting suddenly thought of something. She stopped holding the chopsticks and stared at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu thought for a long time and said uncertainly: "Daqing, maybe I am pregnant this time? I haven't had my period for a long time."

He Daqing was also stunned for a moment, and then asked loudly: "What? You said you are pregnant?"

This shocked everyone at the dinner table, and they all looked at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu blushed and nodded, saying, "I think she is pregnant. This is the same as the last time I had it. Why don't we go to the hospital tomorrow to check it out, so we can be sure."

Qin Huairu's words made He Daqing ecstatic. This is really good news.

He Daqing quickly stepped forward and pulled Qin Huairu and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look tomorrow morning. You should also have a good rest these few days and don't be too tired."

Qin Huairu said in a low voice: "It's not certain yet, let's wait and see tomorrow."

He Daqing and Qin Huairu were so busy being happy that they didn't notice that Sha Zhu and Wu Tingting's faces had turned terribly dark.

Their child was about to be born, but now it's gone because of Banggeng.

But now Qin Huairu is pregnant, which makes the hatred in their hearts even deeper.

He Yushui was also worried. She thought her father probably wouldn't like her any more in the future. He would like his future children instead.

He Daqing was still immersed in joy, and Qin Huairu saw the look on Shazhu and Wu Tingting's faces. She also felt a little nervous. So she hurriedly said, "Daqing, everyone is here, let's have a lively meal together first!"

After listening to Qin Huairu's words, He Daqing sat back in his seat.

He raised his glass and said happily, "Come on, let's raise our glasses together! Let's celebrate the new life that is about to arrive in our family!"

However, the atmosphere at the dinner table had become awkward and tense.

Sha Zhu and Wu Tingting put on stern faces and reluctantly raised their glasses, while He Yushui ate in silence.

At this time, Wu Lili broke the silence and said with a smile: "Aunt Qin, congratulations! I hope everything goes well for you and your baby is healthy and cute!" Qin Huairu looked at Wu Lili gratefully and a smile appeared on her face.

Although everyone was still forcing themselves to smile on the surface, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts.

This unexpected pregnancy news undoubtedly threw a stone into the peaceful life of the courtyard, causing ripples...

This sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner ended abruptly in such an awkward environment.

At night, Wu Tingting kept crying in her bed. Seeing this, Sha Zhu went up to her and hugged her and said, "Tingting, don't be sad. Let's take good care of our bodies. Soon, we will have our own children."

Wu Tingting hugged Sha Zhu and choked up, "Brother Zhu, if I can't have children, will you abandon me?"

Sha Zhu felt sad when he heard this. He stroked Wu Tingting's head and said, "No, I will always be with you. Besides, didn't the doctor say that our chances are just a little lower. It's not like we can't have children. Don't worry."

With Sha Zhu's comfort, Wu Tingting fell asleep while crying.

But Sha Zhu couldn't sleep. His hatred for Bang Geng rose again. This time, he also hated Qin Huairu. If she hadn't come to their house, this wouldn't have happened.

Moreover, Qin Huairu's last attempt to stop him from taking revenge also made him hate her. This time, Qin Huairu's pregnancy also stimulated him.

Like Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu couldn't sleep either.

When she was eating, she saw the expressions of Shazhu and Wu Tingting, and she thought that this time Shazhu and his wife might have thought of the last time. She thought that she should tell Banggeng tomorrow that he must be careful in the next few days. He can't go out to play.

The next day, He Daqing took Qin Huairu to the hospital early in the morning.

After the doctor's examination, it was confirmed that Qin Huairu was really pregnant. It had been two months.

Now He Daqing was happy, and even Qin Huairu was looking forward to the arrival of this little life in her heart.

Back at the courtyard, He Daqing couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Li Pingan, who was about to go out, saw He Daqing and greeted him, "Happy New Year, Uncle He. What good news has happened to you that makes you so happy?"

He Daqing heard this, came up and handed Li Pingan a cigarette and said, "Pingan, your aunt Huairu is pregnant. We just came back from the hospital. How is it? Is this a happy event?"

Li Pingan took the cigarette and said, "This is really a happy event, congratulations Uncle He. When the time comes, you'll have a big fat boy, and you'll be blessed."

He Daqing said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll treat you to a drink when the time comes."

The two chatted for a few words, and then He Daqing went back in to show off to Yan Bugui.

Yan Jiecheng of the Yan family has been married to Liang Yuer for quite some time, but until now, there has been no movement between the two. This has made Yan Bugui and his wife very anxious. They are considering whether to find a new wife for their son.

Liang Yuer was also very anxious. The Yan family was much better off than her in the countryside. At least she didn't have to work in the fields. But if she really couldn't give birth to a child for the Yan family, she would have to endure being driven back.

So during this period of time, she kept squeezing Yan Jiecheng, and now Yan Jiecheng is getting thinner and thinner. He is almost as thin as a stick.

And I run outside every day, and my legs feel weak when I get home.

But he was no match for Liang Yuer, and was often lifted up by Liang Yuer. Then she would put him on the bed and ravage him, which made Yan Jiecheng miserable.

Now when Yan Bugui heard that Qin Huairu was pregnant, his eyes were full of envy.

Turning to look at his son and daughter-in-law, he became even more anxious.

He called Yan Jiecheng aside and asked about his and Liang Yuer's recent situation. Yan Jiecheng stammered and couldn't explain clearly, which made Yan Bugui so angry that he stamped his feet and scolded him for being unpromising.

Yan Jiecheng looked aggrieved, muttering that Liang Yuer was bothering him every day and he just couldn't handle it. Yan Bugui had no choice but to tell him to work harder.

He Daqing showed off everywhere with a smug look on his face, and before noon, everyone knew that Qin Huairu was pregnant.

Li Pingan was also wondering in his mind, is this acacia flower?

Logically speaking, Huaihua should have been born long ago, but he crippled Jia Dongxu, making it impossible for Jia Dongxu to have a child with Qin Huairu.

But now Qin Huairu and He Daqing have a child, so it is not certain whether this child is Huaihua.

After all, not only was it more than a year late, but even the father had changed. No one knew whether it was a boy or a girl this time.

Li Pingan didn't care about that anymore. His task today was also very difficult. He had to visit several families to wish them a happy new year.

Zhou Changming's home, Liu Zhiwei's home, Director Yang's home, Li Huaide's home, and Director Wang's home.

He visits these one by one every year.

This year, each family only received a portion of tea, a deer leg, and some fruits.

Such a gift is considered a generous gift.

Every family Li Ping'an visited received him warmly.

I had dinner at Director Wang’s house in the evening and then came back.

But today he had a lot of good stuff, including cigarettes and alcohol, and the trunk was full of them. These were gifts from several leaders, and some from Director Wang's family.

This made Zhang Zhiyong yell at him and call him a bandit, as if he came to his house every year to fight against the local tyrants.

However, Director Wang was very supportive of him and took the initiative to take out the things and hand them over to Li Pingan.

It was dark when we got back to the courtyard. I had dinner with Yu Li and I had to go to Yu Li's and Lou Xiao'e's homes tomorrow.
