Siheyuan: Starting to work in the security department

In the evening, Niu Ping'an was the first to return to the yard with his yo-yo without fail.

The true story of Xu Damao was not spread to the people in the yard. The neighbors continued to do what they were doing and live their own lives.

If they knew that Xu Damao had his limbs broken, it would probably cause a commotion again.

"Brother Ping An, you're back!"

When Qin Jingru saw Niu coming back safely, she did not run to greet him as usual. Instead, she held her belly and walked over slowly as a turtle.

"What are you doing?"

Niu Ping'an was confused by Qin Jingru's behavior and asked curiously.

"you guess?"

Qin Jingru smiled mysteriously and playfully asked Niu Ping'an to guess.

Niu Pingan rolled his eyes at Qin Jingru and replied half-jokingly:

"Pregnant?"

"Brother Ping An, you are so smart!"

Qin Jingru raised her head proudly, waiting for Niu Ping'an's praise.

Upon hearing the news, Niu Ping'an stood there in a daze with a complicated expression.

Qin Jingru waited and waited but did not receive any approval from Niu Ping'an, so she looked at him curiously.

Seeing Niu Ping'an looking absent-minded, Qin Jingru felt like being struck by lightning and her face turned pale.

"Brother Ping An, don't you like children?"

Qin Jingru thought Niu Ping'an was just standing there in a daze because he didn't like children.

Niu Pingan came back to his senses and sighed:

"No, I just didn't expect him to come so soon!"

It has been several years since he came to this strange world, but Niu Ping'an feels that he can't fit in at all. He always has a gaming mentality and it is difficult for him to invest real emotions.

Niu Ping'an still feels it's a little unreal that he is about to become a father suddenly.

"We've been married for so long, isn't it normal to get pregnant?"

Qin Jingru's mood immediately turned from gloomy to cheerful when she saw that Niu Ping'an didn't hate children and was just a little confused for a moment.

"Too!"

Niu Ping'an nodded. There was nothing wrong with the health of both of them, and since they were not taking any contraceptive measures, it was normal for them to get pregnant.

"You are pregnant now, so be careful."

There was no adult to take care of her at home, so Niu Ping'an could only ask Qin Jingru to take care of herself.

"Well, an auntie told me that I can't do that at night!"

Qin Jingru said seriously.

"Ahem...got it!"

After hearing what Qin Jingru said, Niu Ping'an almost choked on his saliva and could only respond helplessly.

"Let's go to the hospital for a checkup on Sunday, so we can have peace of mind."

my country began to implement prenatal examinations in the early 60s, but the technology was relatively rudimentary.

"okay!

Brother Ping An, take a rest for a while, I'll go cook!"

Qin Jingru was as diligent as ever, but her actions were no longer as vigorous as before.

Niu Ping'an didn't get polite with Qin Jingru. People of that era were not as delicate as those in later generations.

There are many people who earn money to support their families while being pregnant, and some rural women even give birth to their children directly in the fields.

Niu Ping'an is not that cruel. It's just that Qin Jingru is still young now, so when she is older, he will bring his mother-in-law to take care of her.

As for now, she just needs to do what she needs to do. There is no heavy work for her to do at home anyway.

.....

Qin Jingru is pregnant. In order to ensure the nutrition of the mother and daughter, Niu Ping'an prepares to increase the food supply at home.

Anyway, it’s not convenient to do bad things now, so I’ll just go to the Pigeon Market more often at night.

Without a refrigerator, the weather in August made it impossible to store meat, so Niu Ping'an had to buy two chickens to raise for eggs.

If there was room for them in the yard, Niu Ping'an would have wanted to buy a few more.

At that time, both the chicken and the eggs can be eaten at any time.

Niu Ping'an, who received the gift from the Lou family, is now considered the richest man in the Siheyuan.

The box that Lou Xiaoe gave him contained a huge sum of 10,000 yuan and various bills.

I can’t spend it all! I can’t spend it all!

.....

On Sunday, Niu Ping'an took Qin Jingru to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, and everything was normal.

This made both of them feel relieved.

In an era of food and drink shortage, it was very common for fetuses to have problems.

Now that everyone is here, Niu Ping'an is ready to go and see his good brother Xu Damao.

"Jingru, wait for me for a while. I'm going to go buy some things. Let's go see Brother Damao."

Since you are going to visit a patient, you can't go empty-handed.

Last time it was a business trip, and it happened suddenly, so I didn’t prepare any gifts.

"Xu Damao? Didn't he go to the countryside to show movies?"

Qin Jingru asked with some curiosity.

“Brother Damao was beaten up, it’s so tragic!

Balabala..."

Niu Ping'an told Qin Jingru about Xu Damao's experience with a sigh on his face.

"Ah! That's really tragic!"

Qin Jingru was also shocked to hear that Xu Damao had his limbs broken.

"Okay, just wait for me."

Niu Ping'an settled Qin Jingru and ran out of the hospital.

There are quite a lot of fruits in August. Niu Ping'an bought some apples and pears, and a bunch of grapes.

After returning to the hospital to pick up Qin Jingru, the two came to Xu Damao's ward.

"Aunt Tao, let's go see Brother Damao."

Niu Ping'an pushed open the door of the ward and what came into view was Xu Damao, whose limbs were fixed like a specimen.

Tao Xiaoling was serving on the side, but Xu Fugui was not in the ward.

"Ping An, you two are so thoughtful!"

Tao Xiaoling took the fruit that Niu Ping'an brought and expressed her gratitude.

"Brother Ping An, you are still good to your buddies, come and sit down!"

After a few days of rest, Xu Damao no longer felt any pain as long as he didn't move his hands and feet, but he was suffering from difficulty in movement.

Fortunately, my mother takes good care of me, so at least I don’t have to worry about any physical problems.

"Brother Damao, how do you feel?"

Niu Pingan asked with concern.

“It doesn’t hurt if I don’t move my hands and feet, but it’s inconvenient and painful!

By the way, Ping An, have you found any clues?"

Xu Damao complained with a bitter face, then looked at Niu Ping'an expectantly.

Xu Damao thought carefully for several days but still couldn't figure out who would do this to him.

"Hey, Brother Damao, the murderer is very professional, and it's obvious that he was paid to do the job.

You didn’t see their faces, we don’t have any clues, and there’s little hope of finding them.”

Niu Ping'an did not deceive him. This kind of thing is really too common.

What can I do if I don’t even have anyone to suspect?

I'm not a god who can predict the future.

"Hey, what sin have I committed?"

Xu Damao shook his head in distress, lamenting that life was not easy.

"But fortunately they just want to teach you a lesson. As long as you take good care of yourself, your future life will not be affected."

Niu Ping'an comforted Xu Damao again. This was one of the few good news!

Xu Damao nodded and said nothing more.

Being beaten into such a state, without even a chance to find the murderer, one can imagine how Xu Damao felt.

"Aunt Tao, did the doctor say when I can be discharged from the hospital?"

Niu Ping'an saw Xu Damao suffering his injury alone, and asked about Tao Xiaoling again.

"You can go home and recuperate in another week. Just change the medicine regularly then."

"Okay, if there's anything I can help you with, Aunt Tao, please have someone bring me a message.

Jingru and I will go back first, so that Brother Damao can have a good rest."

"Okay, I'll see you off."

"Aunt Tao, please stay here and take care of Brother Damao!"

Niu Ping'an didn't stay in the ward for too long. He said a few polite words and left with Qin Jingru.

"Brother Ping An, who do you think beat Xu Damao like this?"

Qin Jingru didn't say much in the ward before, but after leaving, she couldn't hold it back anymore.

Looking at Xu Damao's miserable appearance, I really don't know how much hatred he has.

"I don't know. The other party is very professional and I don't have any clues."

Niu Ping'an naturally would not tell Qin Jingru about his guess to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Xu Damao is so unlucky!"

Qin Jingru sighed, but didn't take it to heart.

The two of them no longer talked about Xu Damao and walked slowly towards the courtyard.
