Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

As time passed, it was December 1960. Qin Huairu had been working in a canteen for several months and had gradually become familiar with the work in the factory.

Qin Huairu was a little scared at first, but later she became very comfortable in the cafeteria. She moved around the chefs of various cafeterias, except for Sha Zhu. In addition, every time Li Huaide hosted a banquet, he would ask Qin Huairu to help in the reception restaurant, which made Liu Lan keep calling Qin Huairu a vixen.

Qin Huairu ignored Liu Lan. The two of them were fighting overtly and covertly, causing the people in the cafeteria kitchen to talk about them. Qin Huairu thought she had Li Huaide's back so she brought more and more canteen banquet meals every day. Sometimes Sha Zhu wondered if Qin Huairu was so bold?

One day in mid-December, someone in Sha Zhu's family cried out that he had a stomachache. The deaf old lady was knowledgeable and asked the aunties who were not working in the yard to go to the steel mill to call Sha Zhu back.

When Sha Zhu heard that his wife was about to give birth, he hurriedly dropped his work and went back with the aunt in the courtyard without even taking a day off.

When Sha Zhu returned home, he learned that his wife had been sent to the hospital by the aunt in the yard. Sha Zhu immediately went to the hospital carrying the baby clothes and baby supplies that he had prepared long ago.

As soon as he found out about Yang Yuhuan's delivery room, Sha Zhu rushed over but was immediately stopped by two middle-aged women in the hospital who had sent Yang Yuhuan there.

Aunt Li: "Silly Zhu, your wife just went in! Let's wait here for a while! Don't be clumsy."

Sha Zhu could only nod and sit down obediently. After a while, the doctor opened the door and asked, "Who is Yang Yuhuan's family member?"

Sha Zhu came over and said, "Doctor, it's me! I want to ask how my wife is doing?"

The doctor looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Your wife gave birth to a big fat boy and two daughters."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was so happy because of the fat boy in front of him. Then he was even happier when he heard the doctor say that his wife had given birth to two daughters. Our He family does not have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. On the contrary, Sha Zhu thinks that daughters are more caring.

Sha Zhu hurriedly shook the doctor's hand and expressed his gratitude, then immediately entered the ward and saw that his wife was a little weak. Sha Zhu held his wife's hand and said, "Wife, you have worked hard! Come and have a steamed bun." As he spoke, Sha Zhu produced two steamed buns from the bag like a magic trick.

Yang Yuhuan was very happy. Seeing her man being so considerate to her, especially the two tempting white flour buns, she ate them bite by bite without caring about the pain in her body.

Yang Yuhuan was enjoying her meal when she suddenly remembered that she had not yet thanked the neighbor auntie for sending her to the hospital. So she asked Sha Zhu to go out and take out 1 yuan and give cents to the two aunties each as a thank you.

Of course Sha Zhu did as he was told, and he also asked Aunt Li to help notify his father-in-law's family.

Sha Zhu was so happy looking at the three little ones in the crib. You, Xu Damao, want to fight with me? My wife has three children, a boy and a girl!

Just when Sha Zhu was discussing naming, Sha Zhu's father-in-law and his family came. As soon as they arrived, Yang's mother looked at her daughter with a look of heartache, while Yang's father looked at the three little ones in the crib with a kind face.

That weekend, Sha Zhu's wife returned to the courtyard not long after having a normal birth in the hospital. Sha Zhu also followed Xu Damao's example and called a rickshaw to take his mother-in-law and wife, while he walked back to the courtyard.

When Yan Bugui saw Sha Zhu still holding the baby in his arms, he couldn't help but sigh that he was really old because Sha Zhu already had his own children.

Yan Bugui greeted Sha Zhu and said, "Zhu Zi, your wife is definitely not able to feed three children enough milk. You can buy some fish from Uncle Yan to increase your milk supply."

Sha Zhu smiled and nodded and said it was no problem, and Yan Bugui happily continued watering.

Two days ago, Xu Damao learned that Sha Zhu had given birth to triplets, a boy and a girl. Looking at the three little princes whimpering in the house and his pregnant wife, Xu Damao thought to himself, "Sha Zhu, you deserve to die! This time my wife will definitely give me a daughter!"

Jia Zhang was sewing the soles of shoes that were covered with starch for who knows how many times at the door of her house. She looked up and saw Sha Zhu and Yang Yuhuan coming back. She looked disdainful at Sha Zhu's family for copying hers. Her family was also a bunch of big-headed boys who were losing money! But Jia Zhang didn't dare to say it. After all this time, Jia Zhang knew that no one in the courtyard would spoil her, so she just kept sewing the soles.

When Huang Yulan saw Sha Zhu and his wife coming back, she hurriedly took the brown sugar and eggs that she had prepared long ago to Sha Zhu's house. When other families saw Huang Yulan holding the eggs and brown sugar, they also gave her a few eggs as a token of their appreciation.

Jia Zhang looked at this and became even more jealous, "Bah, we didn't see you guys send our Huairu off at that time!" In fact, she didn't even think about the fact that she, Jia Zhang, had no social connections in the Siheyuan.

When Yang Yuhuan saw that it was Aunt Yi who came, she asked Sha Zhu to pour a glass of water for Huang Yulan and asked her to sit down. It was not convenient for Huang Yulan to go and see the child so she would wait until the child was one month old. After sitting down, she asked Yang Yuhuan to lie down and recuperate so as not to be exposed to the wind.

At this time, Xu Damao also came to Shazhu's house with condolences from his family! Xu Damao put something on Shazhu's desk and said, "Shazhu, look at what Grandpa Mao prepared."

During this period, Sha Zhu has been relying on the connections with Xu Damao's father-in-law. Not only can he buy cheap corn flour, but sometimes he can also buy white flour. This makes Sha Zhu very grateful to Xu Damao, and the two often drink together.

Sha Zhu came over excitedly and automatically ignored Xu Damao's address and said, "Shamao, what is that?"

Xu Damao moved aside and picked up two kilograms of flour, clapped his hands and said, "This is free, it will provide you with nutrition."

Sha Zhu said, "Oh, such a good thing? Damao can do it!" He opened the bag and looked at the white flour in it. Sha Zhu couldn't let it go. If there weren't so many people around, Sha Zhu would have wanted to make white flour buns for Yang Yuhuan on the spot.

Qin Huairu, who was at home, looked at the bustling life in Sha Zhu's house and remembered that when her family gave birth to three children, none of the neighbors in the yard came to see her. Except for the time when her family gave birth to the baby, most of the neighbors were perfunctory when Yi Zhonghai asked everyone to come.

Qin Huairu felt uncomfortable and jealous, but she still said to Jia Zhangshi, "Mom, why don't we take some things to Sha Zhu's house too?"

When Jia Zhang heard that she had to take things from her home, she absolutely disagreed, so Qin Huairu had to give up.

Yi Zhonghai took Yi Xuanzong to his eldest brother's house today, and also to see how Yi Suwan was doing. Yi Zhonghai returned home in the afternoon and heard his wife say that Sha Zhu's wife had returned to the yard.

Yi Zhonghai: "This silly Zhu is really lucky, having three children in one pregnancy! In addition to Old Liu and Old Yan, there is also the Jia family in our courtyard. It's good to have a few more children."

Huang Yulan also nodded and said, "That's right. When I first moved into the compound, many old ladies said that our compound had bad feng shui and that many families would die out."

Yi Zhonghai smiled but said nothing...
