Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

"Well... I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to think about my lifelong affairs. Do you think I'd like to invite you to dinner when we have the chance?" Nowadays, nothing is as attractive as inviting a woman to dinner. And having a big meal in a disaster year is something most people can't refuse.

"Really? I don't believe it! I heard from Xiu'er that when she saw you, she told you about me, and she didn't see you come to see me." Yu Li pouted.

"Really, I've had this idea for a long time, but I never found the time. How about tomorrow, I'll treat you tomorrow." Li Dongfang quickly expressed his attitude.

"Well... okay then, but I'll bring my sister with me so we can have a good meal together!" Yu Li said while sticking out her cute little tongue.

"Yes! Of course, of course. Anyway, you know where I live. If I don't invite you, you will bring your sister here to hold me accountable." After chatting with Yu Li for a few sentences, he felt that the tension in his heart was relieved a lot and couldn't help but joke with Yu Li.

"Okay, it's agreed that my sister and I will be waiting for you at home tomorrow at noon. If you don't come, we will go to your house and stay there in the evening!" Yu Li also said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's agreed that I will treat you to a big dinner tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll leave now so I can help them. My friend is waiting for me over there."

Yu Li said this as she shook her pigtails and walked away briskly.

Looking at Yu Li's beautiful back, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned his head and saw the three women looking at him with slightly contempt.

Lin Shu: "It's already this late, and you still have the mind to hook up with a girl!"

Qin Hongying: "I haven't seen you care so much about us."

Qin Xiuli: "......I want to eat too......"

With a click, the lights in the delivery room went out, just relieving Li Dongfang's embarrassment.

He took two quick steps and walked to the door, where he saw a nurse holding a baby and asked, "Is Qin Huairu's family here?"

Li Dongfang immediately shouted, "Yes, yes, it's me."

"Oh my god, you scared me. Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm letting you know that mother and child are safe. It's a big fat boy, weighing 25 pounds." After the nurse said that, she opened the quilt in her arms and let Li Dongfang take a look. He saw a dirty little thing, not crying or making a fuss, but staring around with curious big eyes. Li Dongfang immediately took it.

The young nurse stepped aside and said, "The child hasn't been bathed yet. You can go to the inpatient department later to hold him." Then she took the child and left.

At this time, Qin Huairu was also pushed out. Li Dongfang hurried over and leaned over to see that Qin Huairu looked weak, with sweaty hair sticking to her face, but the smile on her face was still bright.

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Dongfang didn't know what to say, so he said this after holding it in for a long time.

Qin Huairu pursed her dry lips and said, "Why are you talking about this? I'm fine."

"Okay, please move aside. The woman in labor needs to rest. The family members go and pay the fees." The doctor said as he pushed Qin Huairu towards the ward.

"I just said that mother and child will be safe. Okay, we will follow them and you go to pay the bill." Qin Hongying patted Li Dongfang and said.

"Yes, okay, I'll be back soon. You guys take good care of Huairu." After saying that, Li Dongfang took Lin Shu and hurried to pay the bill.

After a busy schedule, they arrived at the ward. The child had been brought back after taking a bath and was sleeping soundly beside Qin Huairu's pillow.

"What a cute little thing." Li Dongfang poked the chubby little face with his fingers.

"What little thing? Little thing? Why don't you give him a name?" Qin Huairu's face turned pale, and she rolled her eyes cutely and said to Li Dongfang coquettishly.

Li Dongfang scratched his head and said, "This is really difficult for me... How about you come up with one?"

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and said, "How about calling her Lingdang? Li Lingdang?"

Li Dongfang felt a sense of déjà vu when he heard this. This Qin Huairu... I really don't know what to say about her. She is even worse at naming than himself.

He shook his head and said, "No, it sounds like a little girl, not masculine at all."

Qin Huairu pouted and said, "Then it was you who started it."

Li Dongfang scratched his head and thought for a long time before saying, "Since I was born in Red Star Hospital, why not call me Red Star? Li Hongxing, how about that?"

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, he's your son anyway, whatever you think is okay."

Li Dongfang was immediately very proud, and said to the child: "Hongxing, what do you think of this name? If you don't say anything, it means you agree. Then we have decided on it, and you can't regret it in the future."

After that, he smiled and said to Qin Huairu: "My son has no objection."

Qin Huairu smiled helplessly and said, "He's asleep. Even if he wasn't asleep, what does he know at such a young age? You just know how to make trouble."

Li Dongfang looked at the bulge under Qin Huairu's loose clothes, and immediately swallowed his saliva, grinning and said, "You don't like me to act weird, but when I act weird, I don't know who is urging me to hurry up, hurry up."

Qin Huairu was immediately embarrassed when she heard this. She looked at Qin Hongying and the other two beside her. Her face flushed as she stretched out her hand and pinched Li Dongfang's waist. She said shyly, "Don't talk nonsense. I didn't. There are others here."

Fortunately, Li Dongfang changed her room to a single room, otherwise Qin Huairu would have been too ashamed to face anyone.

Lin Shu didn't say anything. He stretched his head and looked at the child who was sleeping and making little noises from time to time. The love in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Qin Hongying and Qin Xiuli helped to pack up and fetch water, but in between they looked at Li Dongfang with resentment in their eyes.

"If you have nothing to do, go back. I want to take a nap." Qin Huairu felt tired after chatting with Li Dongfang for a while, so she prepared to send Li Dongfang back home.

Li Dongfang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go home and prepare some delicious food for you and bring it back to you later."

"There's no need to go to such trouble. Don't you still have to go to work? Hongying and the others are here. It's okay."

"That won't work. If you don't eat well, it will affect my son's diet."

Li Dongfang firmly disagreed, and Qin Huairu had no choice but to follow his lead.

He was extremely excited, and although he couldn't share it with others openly, it didn't stop him from getting something rare for the mother and daughter to satisfy their hunger.

I went to the vegetable market first. A hungry and skinny old hen is still a hen, so I bought some. I also bought fish. I was lucky and bought a black fish weighing nearly one pound. I made soup with it to increase my lactation. There was nothing else good to buy.

Li Dongfang wanted to go to the Pigeon Market, but there were basically no people there during the day. After all, private transactions were illegal these days, so he could only wait until night to see if there was a chance.

After returning to the courtyard, Li Dongfang called You Fengxia and her daughter over and told them that Qin Huairu had given birth to a son. You Fengxia could not hide the envy in her eyes, and Li Dongfang had no choice. After all, it all depended on luck. Among so many women, only Qin Huairu was pregnant.
