In the early morning, the sunlight shines through the glass window on Li Donglai's manly face.
Ding Qiunan lay beside him and watched more and more, feeling that he couldn't get enough.
Suddenly, Li Donglai's eyelashes trembled slightly, and Ding Qiunan quickly turned around and pulled up the quilt to cover his face.
Li Donglai slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ding Qiunan curled up in the bed, and took a bite on a whim.
Although she took a shower last night, Ding Qiunan was pregnant, so she had better endure it.
At this time, Li Xiaomei's voice came from outside the door: "Brother, sister-in-law, are out for dinner."
Since Ding Qiunan married into the Li family, she has taken on the daily housework and cooked three meals a day.
In Ding Qiunan's words, if such a young child is allowed to cook, Li Donglai, an elder brother, is too unqualified.
However, in the early stages of her pregnancy, she suffered from severe morning sickness, and she felt like vomiting when she smelled something fishy.
Li Xiaomei took the opportunity to grab the cooking job. In her opinion, being able to cook for her brother was a blessing.
Due to physical factors, Ding Qiunan had no choice but to let her go. Anyway, she just made breakfast, and Ding's mother would come over at noon.
Li Xiaomei's cooking skills have gradually improved. Although her cooking skills are definitely not as good as those of Sha Zhu, the home-cooked dishes are still delicious.
A plate of hot and sour Chinese cabbage was eaten by three people in no time.
In fact, Li Xiaomei also has her own plan for making hot and sour Chinese cabbage, sour and spicy.
She hoped that Ding Qiunan would be pregnant with twins, so that she would have someone to play with and someone to bully.
After eating, Li Donglai did not go to school.
Before leaving yesterday, Professor Du said that he had suffered in the detention room and asked him to have a good rest at home for two days. At the same time, they, the old professors, would have time to work on the topic.
Ding Qiunan also asked for two days' leave. She was already pregnant, and the story of Li Donglai's injustice had spread throughout the rolling mill hospital, so Director Jiao approved it without hesitation.
"Come on, let's go out for a walk. You are a doctor and you know that only by exercising more frequently can the delivery go more smoothly." Li Donglai said to Ding Qiunan who was sitting lazily on the chair.
He was not being alarmist. There were almost no caesarean sections in this era, and a woman giving birth was like going through hell.
Fortunately in the capital, in remote mountain villages, many pregnant women die every year due to childbirth.
"Well, let's go for a walk in the small park." Ding Qiunan nodded, holding Li Donglai's hand and slowly walked out of the door.
As soon as the two of them went out, they heard a call from behind. They turned around and saw Qin Jingru coming over carrying a basket of small jujubes.
Behind her was Xu Damao.
"Brother Donglai, sister-in-law Qiunan, I harvested these jujubes from the hillside of our Qinjiagou two days ago. I thought that my sister-in-law would like to eat sour jujubes after she was born with a son, so I brought them to you specially.
"Qin Jingru's face was full of smiles.
Li Donglai took the basket and saw that the jujubes inside were all plump, with no insect eyes visible. It was obvious that they had been carefully selected.
Although it was not clear why Qin Jingru was so active, she still nodded and thanked her: "Sister Jingru, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. My dad said that the reason why I was able to marry in the city is entirely due to you. You are busy with work and don't have time to go back to Qinjiagou. Just tell me what my sister-in-law wants to eat in the future.
"Qin Jingru smiled.
Li Donglai frowned vaguely, what does this silly girl want to do?
But after Xu Damao opened his mouth, he immediately understood.
"Um, brother Donglai, our compound is going to re-elect the grand master, and I want to run for the election too!" Xu Damao rubbed his hands and smiled shyly.
Good guy, it turns out I'm here to canvass votes.
However, the stewards in the compound are usually older and prestigious, and Xu Damao is afraid that he will be arrested and blinded.
Of course Xu Damao is aware of his disadvantages, but running for the position of Grand Master was a decision he had weighed for a long time.
First, after becoming a master, Si Zhu can no longer bully him.
Secondly, once you become a senior official, your prestige among workers will naturally increase. When you make progress in the future, your superiors will give priority to you.
Comrade Damao is a very enterprising person!
Of course, he also knows his disadvantages.
However, isn’t there a saying that says, if there are difficulties, you have to face them; if there are no difficulties, you have to face them even if they create difficulties.
Although Damao is young and not very prestigious, he is rich.
Although his vitality was severely damaged due to the false accusation against Li Donglai a while ago, his family fortune is still there.
Over the years, he has saved a lot of money by showing movies.
Li Donglai instantly saw through Xu Damao's thoughts. If others want to hit the wall, we won't stop them.
"Ahem, Damao, as far as the relationship between our two families is concerned, even if you don't say anything, I will vote for you. But you also know that your sister-in-law is pregnant recently and really wants to eat fish. I plan to go there in the next two days.
After catching a few fish in Mosha Sea, I guess I won’t have time to participate in the election of the grand master of our compound.”
The wool has been delivered to your door, and you would be a fool not to take the opportunity to pick up a few more.
Good guy, baskets of wild jujubes are not enough! Xu Damao smiled awkwardly, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Brother Donglai, I have a relative who is best at fishing. I will ask him to catch a few fish at noon and give them to you."
Come home."
"Then it's your turn. How much should I pay? I'll give it to you now! Although we are relatives, we have to settle accounts clearly. I can't take advantage of you." Li Donglai put his hand in his pocket.
Xu Damao hurriedly went up to cover his hand and said: "No, no, no, if you give me money, you will slap my Damao in the face. We have a relationship like this, and if I ask for your money again, then how can I, Damao, have the nerve to go out to meet people?"
.”
"You really don't want it?"
"I really don't want it!" Xu Damao was determined.
"Well, we are relatives, I really can't slap you in the face!" Li Donglai smiled, put the basket into the house, and took Ding Qiunan out of the courtyard.
behind.
Qin Jingru didn't understand: "Brother Damao, Brother Donglai said he would give me money, why don't you want it?"
Xu Damao glared at her and said, "You are stupid! If I dare to accept his money, he will not vote for me."
Qin Jingru scratched her head and looked confused: "Our two families are relatives, why didn't he vote for you?"
Xu Damao also knew that Qin Jingru was a bit silly, so he didn't bother to explain to her. He took her hand and said: "Don't think so much, just listen to me. Let's go, we have to give gifts to other residents.
"
The two returned to the house and opened the door.
Good guy, the room is filled with all kinds of gifts, pecans, eggs, Cuban sugar, melon seeds, the whole room is full.
Comrade Xu Damao is a very smart person and knows how to give gifts according to his preferences.
For families with many children, Cuban candies and melon seeds are given as gifts.
If there are elderly people at home, give them two or three eggs.
If there are no old people or children, it is pecan.
"Tuk-tuk!" Knocked on the door.
"Da Mao, what are you doing? We can't give gifts in our compound." Sister-in-law Liu opened the door and saw Xu Damao holding eggs in his hand. She immediately understood his intention and quickly refused.
Xu Damao handed over the gift: "Sister-in-law Liu, I am Xu Damao from the backyard. Yesterday I went to the countryside to play a movie. The comrades of the Red Star Commune saw the hard work and insisted on giving me these eggs.
I didn't want them, but they secretly put them in my canvas bag. I didn't find out until I got home. But if I sent them back, I would be looking down on the rural commune members. If I accepted them, I would be making a mistake.
So, I thought about it, and finally I have to ask you, Mrs. Liu. As long as you accept the egg, everyone will be happy."
Mrs. Liu looked at the eggs and swallowed, foaming at the mouth. She said she didn't want the eggs, which was a lie.
These days, only Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level worker with 99 yuan a month, can afford eggs. Ordinary families like these can only boil an egg for their children on their birthdays.
Besides, Damao has already explained that we are doing a good deed.
"So, if I don't collect the eggs, I will slap the members of the Red Star Commune in the face and make you, Damao, make a mistake?" Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
"Of course, you are doing a great thing!" Xu Damao nodded heavily.
Mrs. Liu then took the eggs and when she entered the house, she whispered: "Don't worry, my surname is Xu!"
Xu Damao heard clearly from behind and clenched his fists fiercely.
Sure enough, as long as I, Xu Damao, am willing to spend my money, this man will be me.
Then, Xu Damao took Qin Jingru around the courtyard house from house to house.
Except for a few upright people who kicked Xu Damao out, most people accepted the gifts silently.
Xu Damao became more confident.
Xu Damao's actions did not escape the eyes of the second uncle Liu Haizhong.
Having been the second uncle for more than ten years, he had long been coveted for the position of the first uncle, but he just suffered from the fact that the old boy Yi Zhonghai was running the business too well.
Coupled with the deaf old lady's favoritism, he endured it.
Yi Zhonghai capsized in the gutter because he helped Qin Huairu, which gave Liu Haizhong an opportunity.
Without Lao Yi, no one in this courtyard can compare with him.
This old man had his bangs pinched in his hand!
Therefore, when Liu Guangtian came back and told him that Xu Damao had taken Qin Jingru to deliver gifts to the people in the compound, he didn't care at all.
"Who is Xu Damao? A small projectionist, less than forty years old! As for me, a seventh-level forger master in the steel rolling mill, I have been the second uncle for more than ten years, but I can't compare to Xu Damao?" Liu Hai
Zhong banged the table.
Liu Guangtian said: "But they really gave you something. Guangfu and I both saw it. Then Xu Damao gave eggs and walnuts to the residents, and the residents happily accepted them. Then they won't vote for you."
Ticket, what should you do?”
Liu Guangfu echoed from the side: "That's right, even a three-year-old child knows how to take advantage of others' soft words and short-handedness. If someone accepts Damao's things, they will definitely vote for Damao."
The two brothers also wanted Liu Haizhong to become a great man.
As long as he becomes a master, Liu Haizhong will definitely have to take care of his face, and he won't be able to beat them recklessly on weekdays.
However, in Liu Haizhong's opinion, these two brothers were fighting against cholera.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I have been the second uncle for so many years, and every household has a very good opinion of me. It is absolutely impossible for me to vote for that young boy!"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, with a stern look in his eyes.
"I understand, you two brothers are here to curse me. You see that I am usually strict with you and you are dissatisfied, right?"
When the two brothers heard this, they shouted something bad, turned around and wanted to run outside.
But before he took two steps, he saw the door of the room slamming shut.
Liu Haizhong came over with a stick in his hand and a ferocious smile on his face, and said viciously: "You two little bastards, you really didn't get beaten for three days and went to the house to uncover the tiles. Now I will let you understand what it means to be a kind father."
As he spoke, Liu Haizhong waved a big stick and ran towards the two brothers.
Liu Haizhong is a seventh-level blacksmith, and his daily job in the workshop is to swing a sledgehammer. His arm strength is so amazing that even Silly Zhu is no match for him.
The two brothers were naturally no match for each other, and within two minutes they were beaten until they screamed in agony.
The screams cut through the quiet air of the courtyard and reached Yi Zhonghai's home.
Yi Zhonghai was sighing at this time. Hearing the screams of the two brothers, he curled his lips and said: "This old Liu has been the second uncle for more than ten years and still hasn't made any progress. He beats the child in broad daylight without fear of being heard by the residents."
"You, you should pay more attention to yourself!" the eldest mother curled her lips and said.
She had been so angry that her chest hurt in the past two days. She had already had suspicions about Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, but she turned a blind eye.
After all, she couldn't give birth, and she felt guilty for Yi Zhonghai.
Furthermore, Yi Zhonghai couldn't divorce her and then marry Qin Huairu even at his old age.
Otherwise, if Jia Xudong lies down in front of the street office, Yi Zhonghai's life will be over.
He is an old fox and should be able to think clearly about these things.
However, Aunt Ma never expected that Yi Zhonghai would be so obsessed with sex that he would dare to blackmail others for Qin Huairu.
The people being blackmailed are still those special people.
The position of the first uncle was also waived by the street office with a piece of paper.
In recent years, Auntie's life has been very easy in the courtyard thanks to Yi Zhonghai.
Except for Mrs. Jia and Zhang, every old woman and young daughter-in-law who saw her had to respectfully call her aunt and put on a smile.
She picked the vegetables grown at home and no one else said anything.
The trend has suddenly changed in the past two days. Ever since those old ladies and young wives learned that Yi Zhonghai was dismissed, they all had a straight face when they saw her, and even talked about her quietly behind her back.
As for vegetables, she didn't even think about it. Before she could reach the vegetable patch planted by the residents in the backyard, those old ladies and young wives stopped her, saying that the vegetables were still small and they couldn't be picked.
.
Bah, the spinach is clearly in bloom!
The root of all this is that Yi Zhonghai was exempted.
Therefore, the aunt is so angry that men really can’t control their crotch!
"I know even if you don't tell me!" Yi Zhonghai suffered a big loss this time. He was feeling depressed and naturally he didn't look good.
Although Aunt Ma hates him, for her own sake, she still has to give Yi Zhonghai advice.
"The sub-district office has made it clear that you will not be able to keep your position as a senior official, and you will not be able to run for office again."
"I think you should find someone else to be your boss!"
