1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

Jia Dongxu became more and more excited as he spoke.

Yi Zhonghai sighed.

"So, Dongxu, what do you think? Are you not going to settle this privately with Chen Xiao?"

Jia Dongxu said with gritted teeth.

"No, I won't settle it privately. These are all my mother's debts to me. I can't afford to settle it privately. A year is not a long time. It will pass in the blink of an eye."

"Let her reflect on herself in there for a year."

Tingting agreed with Jia Dongxu's approach very much. She had long been a little disgusted with Jia Zhang.

Yi Zhonghai said no more, silently closed the door and walked out.

After returning to the courtyard, Liu Haizhong asked Yan Bugui.

"How's Uncle Yi? What did Dongxu say?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed again.

With his hands behind his back, he walked home silently.

Looking from behind, Yi Zhonghai seemed to have aged a few years, his back was bent like an old man, and there was an indescribable bitterness in his eyes.

He is now struggling and hesitating in his heart, wondering whether he should continue to take care of his apprentice in the future, or whether he should choose Jia Dongxu as one of the candidates for retirement support.

He chooses not to rescue his own mother. This kind of person may really have no conscience.

He walked to the door of his house and looked up at Sha Zhu's house.

At this time, Sha Zhu and He Yushui were having lunch.

He Yushui waved her hands happily when she saw Yi Zhonghai.

"Hello, uncle."

Yi Zhonghai forced a smile on his face.

Without Jia Dongxu, there is still He Yushui.

If a daughter is well taken care of, she will be no worse off than a son in terms of retirement care.

Looks like we need to hurry up...

"An old man?" Sha Zhu asked doubtfully.

Then he followed He Yushui's gaze and looked outside the door, but there was no sign of Yi Zhonghai.

He said to He Yushui jokingly.

"Yushui, do you want to go to the uncle's house for dinner again?"

He Yushui nodded his head and said excitedly.

"Yu Shui wanted to go, and the uncle and aunt loved her so much that they would give her any delicious food she had."

"You are just a greedy little cat." Sha Zhu reached out and gently tapped He Yushui's forehead.

At this time, the naive Sha Zhu did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

......

Chen Xiao and his family were having lunch, and there was a large pot of stewed old hen on the table.

To celebrate Jia Zhang's admission, Chen Xiao specially bought a bottle of Moutai.

Chen Xiao and Qin Huaiguo drank one cup after another, and soon their faces became red.

Neither of them can drink much.

But drinking is a romance for adults.

Qin Huaiguo shook his head and said, he was already a little drunk at this time.

"Brother-in-law, you said that old woman will be locked up for a year?"

Chen Xiao nodded.

"That's great! I didn't like that old woman the first time I saw her today. I'm afraid you and I must have been disgusted by her quite a lot."

As he spoke, Qin Huaiguo poured another glass for Chen Xiao.

"Brother-in-law, I toast you with this glass of wine."

Qin Huaiguo stood up unsteadily.

Zhang Cuilan pulled him back to sit on the chair and said with a little anger.

"Don't drink anymore. You still have to sell konjac this afternoon. Do you still want to sell konjac if you're drunk?"

"Mom, I'm fine, I'm not drunk." Qin Huaiguo said, swaying his body.

Chen Xiao covered his mouth and laughed.

"Aunt, if Huaiguo wants to drink, just let her drink. At worst, I can go sell konjac with Huaiguo tonight."

"It just so happens that I also want to see how Huaiguo works every day."

"You still have to go to work tomorrow, so let Huaiguo and I go sell it together in the evening." Qin Huairu said.

As the pillar of the family, Chen Xiao hopes to help Chen Xiao as much as possible, and try not to trouble him as much as possible.

Just then, an accident happened.

As soon as Qin Huairu finished speaking, her face suddenly turned pale, her eyes went dark, and she fainted.

"Huai Ru!!!" Chen Xiao quickly hugged Qin Huai Ru in his arms.

Qin Huairu's sudden fainting made Qin Huaiguo, who was originally drunk, sober up a lot.

"Sister! What's wrong with you, sister!"

Zhang Cuilan was also extremely nervous.

Qin Huairu is pregnant now. It would be bad if something unexpected happened.

"I'll take Huairu to the hospital first." Chen Xiao picked up Qin Huairu by the waist and walked out the door.

Putting Qin Huairu on the crossbar of the bicycle, Chen Xiao held her with one hand and rode the bicycle with the other.

In the past, he would never have dared to think about riding a bicycle like this.

But now Chen Xiao had no choice but to grit his teeth and go on.

After all, Qin Huairu was pregnant with his own flesh and blood, and two of them!

Along the way, Chen Xiao rode very fast and kept shouting at the people around him.

"Get out of the way, get out of my way!"

Passersby made way for Chen Xiao.

In the hospital, Qin Huairu had been sent to the ward by the doctor.

Chen Xiao walked back and forth anxiously outside the ward alone.

"It'll be okay, it'll be okay."

Chen Xiao tried to think of ways to comfort himself.

Just then, a familiar figure passed by.

"Brother Chen Xiao? Why are you in the hospital?"

Zhang Wanrong, dressed in a nurse's uniform, ran over.

"Huai Ru just fainted."

"Ah? Why did Sister Huairu faint?" Zhang Wanrong asked in surprise.

"I don't know. He was fine when he was eating, and then he fainted for no apparent reason." Chen Xiao said, shaking his head.

Looking at Zhang Wanrong in a nurse's uniform, Chen Xiao asked.

"So you are a nurse in the hospital?"

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I'm a nurse in the hospital?" Zhang Wanrong complained slightly angrily.

Then she stood up and turned around in front of Chen Xiao.

"Brother Chen Xiao, I look good in this outfit, don't I?"

Chen Xiao was speechless for a while.

At this time, he had no mood to see whether Zhang Wanrong was pretty or not.

Besides, nurses in this era all wore white shirts and white pants, which wrapped the body tightly and were not very good-looking.

It's not like the island country, where people wear short skirts and white stockings.

"It's okay..." Chen Xiao could only utter this sentence.

"Hehe..." Zhang Wanrong laughed at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was speechless again.

In fact, Zhang Wanrong is not ugly, she is quite pretty.

But now we practice monogamy, he can't break the rules!

Just then, the ward door opened from the inside.

Chen Xiao stood up in panic.

"Doctor, how is my wife? Is she awake?"

The attending doctor was a woman, and she rolled her eyes at Chen Xiao.

"The patient is not seriously injured. He fainted due to overwork."

"And how can you be a husband? Your patient is pregnant, can't you let her rest? And you treat her like a slave all day long?"
