Chapter 247 The He Family’s Happy Event and New School

the next day.

Good news came from the He family.

After most of the day's hard work, Guo Yuhe finally gave birth to a baby boy weighing 4.62 catties in the hospital in the afternoon.

It is said that when the door of the delivery room opened, the nurse told the news.

He Guangyao was in tears and crying loudly.

Of course, these were tears of joy.

When Wang Mengde and He Shengnan came back from get off work, Ran Xiaomei had already cooked lotus root and pork ribs soup.

"Shengnan, you took the trouble to come and deliver this lunch box to the hospital. Yuhe just needed nutrition after giving birth.

Oh, and bring a can of milk powder. You may not have milk right after giving birth, so you can give your baby some milk powder in the first two days."

Ran Xiaomei explained patiently.

After He Shengwen came to the hospital and told her the good news, she went directly to the grocery store in Nanluoguxiang and asked Fatty Guo to buy a pound of spare ribs.

This was also thanks to the fact that Wang Mengde had informed Fatty Guo in advance a few days ago and reserved some good ribs with more meat every day.

"Oh, thanks, Mom. I'll go right away."

He Shengnan said this with gratitude, then picked up the net bag which contained a can of milk powder and a large aluminum lunch box.

As for why Wang Mengde was not allowed to go, the main reason was to avoid suspicion.

In a hospital near Drum Tower.

Guo Yuhe lay on the bed with a tired look on her face, but she was in a very good mood. Looking at the little ball of flesh beside the bed, her face was full of maternal glow.

Next to them, Zhou Xiaoyan and several relatives of Lao Guo's family were chatting in low voices.

Their topic mainly focused on their newborn baby.

If we weren't afraid of scaring the little one, the ward would definitely be filled with laughter.

He Shengwen, on the other hand, kept going in and out, being ordered around in circles.

At this time, Guo Yuhe's sister-in-law looked outside at the sky and found that it was almost time for dinner. She turned around and glanced at her sister-in-law lying on the bed.

Then he whispered:
"Auntie, you take care of Yuhe in the hospital. I'll go home and cook her a bowl of millet porridge."

She really wanted to help, knowing that Zhou Xiaoyan's mind was now focused on her daughter-in-law and children.

"No need, my daughter will bring food to Yuhe in a while."

Zhou Xiaoyan said with a smile.

After the eldest son came back from Nanluoguxiang in the afternoon to announce the good news, he told her that the eldest daughter would bring her pork rib soup after get off work in the evening.

That's why she waited in the hospital without rushing.

"Oh, that's fine. I'll go buy some crucian carp tomorrow and make fish soup for Yuhe."

Mrs. Guo continued.

In the past, when my sister-in-law was not married, her relationship with Guo Yuhe was not as close as it is now.

Since she married He Shengwen, Wang Mengde arranged for her to work in the Qinghe Woolen Factory.

Guo Yuhe's status in her mother's family has been rising sharply.

Even her elder sister-in-law, with whom she had always had a mediocre relationship, would be polite and try her best to entertain her when she saw her return to her parents' home.

Even the things that we usually don’t want to eat at home will be generously taken out.

"Then trouble you."

Zhou Xiaoyan naturally realized that her daughter-in-law's sister-in-law wanted to show off, so she agreed.

"Haha, no trouble, no trouble."

Mrs. Guo said happily.

Although buying fish costs money, she feels that it is worth the money. As long as she can get along well with her sister-in-law, she would be willing to buy fish for her more often.

Anyway, now that the weather is getting warmer, there are many people fishing in the moat, some rivers or Shichahai.

If you take a stroll there during the day, you can buy some privately.

After a while, He Shengnan pushed the door open and walked in, carrying a net bag.

After saying hello, she sat down on the bed and asked quietly, "Yuhe, how do you feel?"

"Sister, I'm much better now."

Guo Yuhe answered in a low voice with a smile on her face.

"Well, I brought you some lotus root and pork ribs soup. Drink it while it's hot."

As she spoke, she carefully took out the aluminum lunch box. After opening it, the pork rib soup was still steaming.

Mrs. Guo was surprised to see that there was a lot of meat on the ribs.

When her family had no money to buy meat, they often bought some ribs at home and stewed them to satisfy their cravings.

But the ribs I bought had been cleaned out, leaving only the bones, which could only be used to make soup.

But now I see that the ribs my sister-in-law is eating have a thick layer of meat on them, and the amount is almost half of the bones.

These were not the ribs she was familiar with.

More than twenty minutes later, Guo Yuhe reluctantly put down the aluminum lunch box in her hand.

She just finished a full lunch box, including the meat and soup, in one breath.

This is a full pound of ribs. She has never eaten so much meat at one time since she was a child. Today she has finally satisfied her craving.

"Thank you, sister. The pork rib soup is delicious."

"Haha, you're welcome. I'll stew it for you when you're out of the hospital and in confinement."

He Shengnan said with a smile:
"By the way, in a few days, I'll ask your brother-in-law to buy you a pair of pork kidneys. Eating pork kidneys during the confinement period will help you avoid back pain.

Also, your brother-in-law will give you a pound of sesame oil after his high brain oil intake this month. You can also eat eggs. You must eat at least five eggs a day to produce milk."

"Thank you sister, thank you brother-in-law."

Guo Yuhe did not refuse. She gave birth to a son for the He family. This was the first child of the fourth generation of the He family. As a meritorious person, she had the right to eat with a clear conscience.

Seeing them talking and laughing, Mrs. Guo was filled with envy.

My sister-in-law is really blessed to marry into this family.

When she gave birth to her child two years ago, she didn't get to eat pork kidneys.

Not to mention pork kidneys, during the confinement period, I only had two meals of pork rib soup and a few pounds of eggs. Other than that, I only consumed about two taels of sesame oil.

After chatting for a while, He Shengnan got up and prepared to go home.

She rode her bike here right after work and hasn't even had dinner yet.

Before leaving, he left the can of milk powder behind.

Outside the hospital.

When Zhou Xiaoyan saw her daughter was about to leave, she quickly said, "Shengnan, go back and thank my mother-in-law for me."

"Got it, Mom. I'll go back first."

As she spoke, He Shengnan got on her bicycle and headed towards Nanluoguxiang.

Time passes day by day.

Soon, it was the end of April.

Early in the morning of that day, the brothers Wang Yuandi and Wang Yuanxun were pulled out of their beds.

"Mom, today is the weekend. I don't have to go to school. I want to sleep a little longer."

Wang Yuandi asked sleepily.

Last night, the two brothers went out with other kids of the same age in the alley and had fun until after eight o'clock. When they came home, they lay in bed, still too excited to fall asleep.

“No, I want to take you to grandma’s house to see my little cousin.

By the way, there is brown sugar water to drink and boiled red eggs to eat over there, hurry up and let’s go there early.”

He Shengnan refused without hesitation.

Then, seeing that they did not move, he threatened again:
"Don't make me yell one, two, three. Hurry up and get dressed, then brush your teeth and wash your face."

"Hey, we're up."

Wang Yuanxun rubbed his eyes reluctantly and muttered softly.

If you don't get up, you're really going to get beaten.

After breakfast.

Including Yaya, the family of five rode their bicycles and soon arrived at Caochang Hutong. At this time, many relatives were already standing in the yard where Lao He's family lived.

Most of them are their relatives and friends.

As for Guo Yuhe's family, they will have to wait for a while before coming over.

"Meng De, my little nephew is white and chubby, just like the former heroes. He is so cute."

Coming out of the bedroom, He Shengnan approached her man and spoke in a low voice.

"Then it looks like the nutrition is enough."

Wang Mengde said in a low voice.

This month, not counting the things prepared by Old He's family, the good things he asked his wife to send over included two pairs of pig kidneys, four pig trotters, more than ten pounds of eggs, and a bottle of sesame oil.

Even sent two more cans of milk powder.

With so many nutritional supplements, it goes without saying that this child will grow better than his peers.

"Of course there is a shortage of it. My sister-in-law's face is getting rounder. I just asked her quietly and she said she has gained several pounds in a month.

I have been worried these days. My old clothes can no longer fit into my body, and I don’t have new fabrics to make clothes. After the confinement period, I don’t know what to wear to work.”

He Shengnan found it interesting to think of Guo Yuhe's distressed look.

In fact, when she was in confinement after childbirth, she ate much more nutritional supplements than her younger siblings.

After a month, she gained more than ten pounds. Fortunately, she had a big frame and after the confinement period, she started to practice martial arts every day, and she lost weight in a short period of time.

Otherwise, she would be the one suffering now.

At noon, I had a simple meal at Lao He’s house.

After drinking another bowl of brown sugar water, the three children, each holding a dyed red egg in their hands, walked back happily.

As soon as I got home, I met Yi Zhonghai and his wife who were walking out in a hurry.

"Uncle Yi, Aunt Yi, why are you so anxious? What's the matter?"

Seeing their expressions, Wang Mengde stopped his bicycle and asked curiously.

"Meng De is back. Zhuzi's wife is about to give birth and has been sent to the hospital. Let's go over and take a look now."

Yi Zhonghai suppressed the joy in his heart and explained quickly.

"Oh, that's a good thing. So, Uncle Yi, you ride my bike over there."

Wang Mengde picked Yaya up from the bicycle bar and said.

"Okay, I'll use the bike first and return it to you later."

Yi Zhonghai didn't hesitate and took the bicycle.

"Don't worry, just give it back to me after you finish your business with Sha Zhu."

Early the next morning.

Wang Mengde got out of bed angrily. He first comforted his daughter who was frightened awake, and then went out.

He wanted to see who it was, so he set off firecrackers in the yard before dawn.

When I came out, several neighbors had already gathered in the yard. They were all woken up by the sound of firecrackers.

"Silly Zhu, why are you setting off firecrackers so early in the morning instead of sleeping? Look, you woke everyone up."

With a big belly sticking out from his bangs, he accused with a tired look on his face.

"Silly Zhu, it's ok for you to make trouble in the yard normally, but now you're disturbing the neighbors."

Yan Bugui was not willing to be left behind and spoke out.

"That's right, it's too immoral."

Xu Damao, who followed from the backyard with dark circles under his eyes, also took advantage of the situation.

"Hey, Uncle No. 2, Uncle No. 3, and all the neighbors, I'm really sorry to bother you today."

Facing the accusations, Sha Zhu rarely clasped his hands and bowed to everyone.

His attitude scared everyone.

Everyone was confused and looked at each other, not knowing what he was up to.

Under normal circumstances, Shazhu would not show any fear even if facing everyone in the hospital.

Today, however, is so abnormal.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, Sha Zhu suddenly stood up and said loudly to Xu Damao:
"Xu Damao, do you know why I set off firecrackers today? It's because I'm happy that I have a son."

His words surprised everyone.

"what?"

"Silly Zhu, you have a son?"

"When did this happen?"

"Hahaha, I gave birth to a big fat boy at about three in the morning.

I have a son, Xu Damao, why don't you come and congratulate me?"

Sha Zhu said proudly to everyone.

Seeing his archenemy's ugly expression, as if he had eaten shit, he felt even more upset.

"Silly Zhu, just wait for me. I will give birth to a son next year."

Xu Damao tilted his head and said angrily.

"Bah, you still want to have a son, but there's no hope in this life.

When my son is one month old, I will carry him to the backyard every day to piss you off to death."

Back to the backyard.

When Xu Damao saw Lou Xiao'e lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, he felt particularly unhappy.

A few days after the Chinese New Year, he listened to Xu Fugui and used sweet words to coax Lou Xiao'e back.

During this period, he was trying to talk to his wife about transferring part of his father-in-law's family property to his own family.

But what Sha Zhu said today completely irritated him.

He was preparing to implement a plan, which was to prepare for both situations and secretly pursue the beautiful female teacher of Red Star Primary School.

Ever since he met Teacher Ran who came to visit his home a few months ago, he had been secretly asking about it.

Unexpectedly, this female teacher is actually an intellectual who returned from abroad.

If I marry her, not only will I gain face, but she might also give him a son.

By then, I will be able to defeat Shazhu.

Chinese Medical Research Institute.

Wang Mengde yawned quietly.

After being woken up by Sha Zhu, he returned home and couldn't fall asleep again.

This scene happened to be seen by Dean Lu, who smiled and asked:

"Comrade Wang Mengde, you didn't get enough rest. You should take care of your health. After all, your health is the capital of a GM."

"Dean, I'm fine."

"Well, it's best if you're okay.

The main reason I asked you to come here today is to hear your opinion.

As you know, the school jointly run by our Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine will start recruiting students soon.

School will start in early September, and we need to arrange some teachers to give lectures in advance. You can see if you want to teach a class.

Of course, if you are too busy, then you can spare two and a half days a week to go and give lectures to the students. "

Dean Lu got down to business.

“Dean, forget about teaching the class. I will continue to conduct research later, so I don’t have much time.

I can take some time out every week to give lectures there. "

Wang Mengde thought about it and then said.

“Well, then I get it.

Do you have any other suggestions?"

"Dean, I actually have a suggestion!"
