Chapter 147 Confinement
Li Shengli first rode his bicycle to take the old lady to the hospital, and then rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill with some candies and other things. He first distributed the candies in his hand to the people in the kitchen, and then Li Shengli said hello to Wang Tiezhu and came to Xu Weimin's office.
"Director Xu, I need a leave this time." Li Shengli handed the candy in his hand to Xu Weimin.
"Good boy, what's going on? Your baby is born!" When Xu Weimin saw the candy handed to him by Li Shengli, he immediately knew what the reason was. He took the candy with a smile and took out papers from the drawer to prepare to approve the leave.
"Director has really good eyesight." Li Shengli flattered him a little.
"Okay, I've approved it for you. Just stay at home and take good care of your wife these days." Xu Weimin smiled and signaled Li Shengli to get out quickly, and he would take care of the rest for him.
"Okay, thank you, Director." Li Shengli's brows immediately lit up with joy. He walked out of Xu Weimin's office, smiling all the way, and everyone who knew him was surprised.
Li Shengli came out of the steel rolling mill and came to the street office where Han Qiuyu was carrying his things.
"Hello, comrade. Is Comrade Han Qiuyu here?" Li Shengli asked politely with a smile.
"Han Qiuyu, someone's looking for you." The person being questioned looked Li Shengli up and down and shouted inside, feeling a little strange. Could this person be Han Qiuyu's suitor? He looked pretty good.
"Brother-in-law, why are you here?" Han Qiuyu shouted happily when she saw Li Shengli as soon as she came out.
The man choked when he heard Han Qiuyu calling him brother-in-law. Oh my god, he had been thinking wrong.
"Your sister gave birth last night. I came here to inform you."
"Really? Is it a boy or a girl? I have to go and see for myself." Han Qiuyun was very happy to hear that. This was her first time being an aunt.
"You are busy, right? I guess Qiuyun will be discharged from the hospital in the next two days." Li Shengli said with a smile, "Why don't I pick you up in the evening? You are busy now."
"No need. I'll go talk to the director and take a look. I'll be back later." Han Qiuyu also wanted to see his sister and nephew as soon as possible.
"Wait a minute, take these to your colleagues in the street office." Li Shengli handed the candy snacks in his hand to Han Qiuyu.
"Brother-in-law, you are more thoughtful." Han Qiuyu went back and told the director of the street office. The director was very understanding and did not even count the leave as work. He just counted it as attendance.
"Let's go, brother-in-law." Han Qiuyu came out and sat on the bicycle that had been prepared long ago.
Li Shengli pushed his feet hard and drove towards the hospital. Along the way, Han Qiuyu asked about the conditions of his sister and nephew, and Li Shengli answered them in detail.
When they arrived at the hospital, they came to the ward where Han Qiuyun was.
"Qiuyu, why are you here?" The old lady looked at Han Qiuyu in surprise.
"Grandma, sister, I came to see you and my little nephew." Han Qiuyu went closer to the bed and looked at the baby.
"So ugly." Han Qiuyu frowned and complained.
As if he heard someone say he was ugly, the baby pouted and burst into tears. Han Qiuyu and Li Shengli hurried to comfort him. Han Qiuyu was also a little stunned. How could a baby of this age understand what people said?
"It's like this when you're a kid. It will be fine when you grow up a little." Old Mrs. Han said with a smile when she saw this scene.
Han Qiuyun fed the baby, and Han Qiuyu teased the baby for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
Two days later, Han Qiuyun's complexion was much better, and the baby had grown up. Today, the baby needed to be examined. If nothing was wrong, they could go home. The doctor examined Han Qiuyun and Xiaozhi. After the examination, the doctor said to Li Shengli, "Both the mother and the baby are healthy. You can go through the discharge procedures."
Next, the doctor told Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun some things they needed to pay attention to.
Li Shengli agreed to all of them, found a cart, wrapped Han Qiuyun and the baby tightly, and they walked back home, stopping and starting along the way.
"Shengli, you're back. This is the baby, right?" The third aunt saw Li Shengli supporting Han Qiuyun as they walked into the compound, and looked at the baby in Old Lady Han's arms.
"Yes, Third Aunt." Li Shengli replied and helped Han Qiuyun into the house. The next thing was Han Qiuyun's confinement.
The scene of Li Shengli helping Han Qiuyun back spread throughout the yard in no time.
"Li Shengli, can I see the child?" Lou Xiao'e rushed over after hearing the news, weighed some things and looked at Li Shengli pitifully.
Li Shengli was unmoved. It all depends on what his wife thinks.
"Shengli, let them in." Han Qiuyun, who was lying on the bed, called softly.
"Go in and pay attention to the time." Li Shengli said seriously.
"Wait, Lou Xiao'e, wait for me a moment." Yu Li, who was living in the back room, also walked over quickly when she saw Lou Xiao'e was about to go in. It was appropriate to bring something with you when visiting someone, and Yu Li didn't have the financial resources to do so, so she had to shamelessly take some of Lou Xiao'e's things.
Li Shengli didn't care about these things. He just told the two not to spend too much time together because his child was still young.
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Li Shengli. Look at his behavior.
"Qiuyun, where is the baby? Let me see." Lou Xiao'e entered the house and started looking for the baby.
"He's lying in front of me." Han Qiuyun's face was full of maternal love.
Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li looked at the baby sleeping next to Han Qiuyun with envy. One of them couldn't get the baby, and the other didn't dare to have one.
The two sat for a while, talked to Han Qiuyun for a while, and then left.
When Xu Damao returned home, he heard people in the yard discussing Li Shengli's child. This made Xu Damao feel very uncomfortable. At this moment, Xu Damao didn't dare to get angry with Lou Xiaoe. When his parents, relatives and friends talked about Lou Xiaoe again, he had to speak up for her.
One day I will make Lou Xiao'e swallow this secret.
Time passed slowly, and the people in the yard gradually got used to the fact that Li Shengli had a child. Li Shengli told his master Wang Defu and his wife that he had a child. Several of them came to the yard to visit Han Qiuyun with a bunch of baby supplies.
Li Shengli's two apprentices also came once. As usual, Tian Shulin brought an old hen from the countryside, and Liu Xikui brought a pair of shoes for his baby. Li Shengli knew that the two were not rich, so he stuffed some money into the pastries that others brought and returned them.
Wang Defu also told Li Shengli to come to him if he needed anything. After all, he was the head of Huifangyuan's kitchen, so he had some face to ask the purchasing department to bring some things with him.
Li Shengli would not be polite. He loves his own wife, and he cannot let his son down.
Seeing that the weather was getting hotter, Li Shengli secretly ran to the black market to buy a ticket for an electric fan while working the early morning shift. Han Qiuyun was in confinement and couldn't have the fan blown directly to her, so Li Shengli placed the fan farther away to make the room a little cooler.
Fearing that Han Qiuyun would suffer from postpartum depression, Li Shengli would go outside to pick some flowers and put them in the house when he had time. This made the men in the yard dumbfounded. They had never seen anyone who loved his wife so much.
