"I think we should just forget it. Among all the educated youth, I only saw Xiaoqin and her sister and Cheng Qiao had packages sent, but Cheng Qiao didn't seem to have received any for a long time."
Cuihua regretted what she said and quickly glanced at Li Huan, worried that Li Huan would despise Cheng Qiao. However, Li Huan smiled slightly and said that he would not despise Cheng Qiao even if she was penniless.
What's more, Cheng Qiao is a little fairy who has everything she wants, so why would she need to send a package? However, it seems that the time has come to send a package to her father-in-law, but strangely, the father-in-law did not respond at all.
"Old village chief, all of Xu Laidi's medical expenses and nutrition expenses are charged to Chen Tiezhu. If he doesn't pay now, all of it will be deducted when the work points are calculated at the end of the year."
Chen Weidang nodded. This was as he should do. If Chen Tiezhu had not been so greedy, Xu Laidi would not have been born prematurely, and this poor child would have a better chance of survival.
In the county hospital, Xu Laidie was sleeping soundly. She was so scared when she fell that she thought she would not die.
When she was sent to the hospital and the doctor took her to the delivery room, she was scared to death. She thought that if she couldn't give birth to the baby, she would probably die.
Unexpectedly, due to extreme malnutrition, the baby in the belly was like a kitten and was born very quickly. The doctor saw that the baby did not even have the strength to cry, so he had to send it to the only incubator in the hospital.
Xu Laidi was finally sent to the ward and was fed a bowl of nutritious porridge. As soon as she lay on the hospital bed, she felt relieved both physically and mentally. Chen Dazhu had died and her son would not live long. As long as she took care of her health, she could live a good life.
Xu Laidi fell asleep quickly, snoring loudly. This was the first time she was able to sleep peacefully since she married Chen Dazhui.
On the bed next door, Chen Tiezhu's wife stared at the sleeping Xu Laidi. Her son was gone, but Xu Laidi's son was born. This was so unfair.
When Chen Tiezhu saw the hateful look in his wife's eyes, he was frightened. He knew in his heart that Xu Laidi was not to blame for this incident. If anyone was to blame, it was himself for being too impulsive.
"Wife, I'm sorry. I'll buy you some meat buns. Eat well and sleep well. When you get well, we can have children."
Chen Tiezhu's wife glanced at her husband. That punch seemed to have killed the baby in her belly, but in fact it had shattered her heart that was devoted to her family. From then on, she only lived for herself.
Cheng Qiao has been worried about Cheng Liguo. Since Cheng Liguo was taken away, she has mailed supplies five times, but strangely, there has been no response from Cheng Liguo.
She didn't feel bad about the supplies, as they would continue to replicate and reproduce. What she was worried about was her father. If something happened to him, she, as a daughter, wouldn't even be able to see him for the last time, which would be a lifelong regret.
"Li Huan, your registered letter."
The comrades from the post office rode their bicycles to Cheng Qiao's door, banged on the iron lock on the door, and shouted loudly. Li's mother was making sugar-water eggs for Cheng Qiao in the kitchen, and when she heard the noise, she hurried out.
"Thank you, comrade. This is a letter from my eldest son."
Li's mother also attended a literacy class and, with the help of Li Le, had learned more than 200 words. So when she saw Li Bing's name on the envelope, she knew it was a letter from her eldest son.
"Le Le, please read it to me quickly."
"Mom, you can read."
"Be obedient and call your second sister-in-law out and let her listen too. The sugar-water eggs are ready. Let your second sister-in-law eat them."
"Well, I'll go."
Cheng Qiao walked out of the room on her own without them calling her. Mother Li quickly gave the letter to Cheng Qiao and asked her to read it.
"Mom, please read it yourself. This is the first letter your son wrote back from the army. It will only make sense if you read it yourself."
Li's mother had no choice but to carefully open the letter and began to read: "Mother, brother, sister-in-law, little sister, hello..."
"I'm doing well now. I have enough food and warm clothes in the army, and my work is going well. Last week I sent back my half-year allowance, please check it. I also found my brother and sister-in-law's father..."
"What, big brother found my father..."
Cheng Qiao was so happy that she stood up at once, accidentally knocking over the sugar syrup eggs at hand. The scalding sugar syrup also scalded Cheng Qiao's snow-white and tender little hands.
"ah… "
Cheng Qiao cried out in pain, and then her stomach started to hurt as well. She no longer cared about the pain in her hands, so she covered her stomach with both hands and slowly sat down.
"Qiao, what's wrong with you? Did you scare the baby? Lele, hurry up and go find your second brother, and Doctor Ye, and the midwife, too. Hurry."
Mother Li no longer cared about the letter in her hand. She quickly stuffed the letter into her pocket, then helped Cheng Qiao walk to her room.
Cheng Qiao's due date was supposed to be the end of July, but it was only mid-July now, half a month early. Mother Li was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
"Qiao, wait for Huan'er to come back, then we'll go to the hospital."
"Mom, I don't want to go to the hospital. Go boil some water. I want to give birth at home."
"Okay, I'll make you a bowl of egg noodles first. After eating, you'll have the strength to give birth to a child. If you have any problems, just call me."
Li's mother wished she had four arms and four legs. She hurried to the kitchen, scooped a ladle of water to clean the pot, then scooped another ladle of water, turned up the fire, and prepared to cook the noodles.
At the same time, he went to the kitchen of the old house, lit a fire, put in firewood, put a big pot on the stove, and started to boil water. The most important thing when giving birth to a child is, of course, hot water.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Huan and Ye Jun arrived home at the same time. Ye Jun first took Cheng Qiao's pulse and felt that her pulse was relatively stable and the baby had not yet started, so he felt much more relaxed.
Seeing that the back of her hand was red and swollen, he knew at a glance that she was burned, and quickly took out the burn ointment from the medicine box. This was also made by Cheng Qiao using the medicinal herbs grown in the space and given to Ye Jun, and the effect was amazing.
"Cheng Qiao, it's not too late to go to the hospital to give birth now. Why don't you consider going to the hospital to give birth." Ye Jun actually didn't believe in the midwife, and he tried his best to persuade her.
Cheng Qiao shook her head. Xu Laidi was in the hospital, and she couldn't guarantee that Xu Laidi would not do anything to her child. Although there were doctors, nurses and family members in the hospital, Xu Laidi was like a rat in the gutter, and he could not be guarded against.
"The midwife is here."
Li Le ran in, pulling an old woman who was nearly fifty years old. Fortunately, Li Le found Li Huan and Ye Jun first, and they had consumed a lot of physical energy, otherwise the midwife would have been exhausted to death by her.
The midwife's surname was Sun, and everyone called her Grandma Sun. She had delivered countless babies in her life. Although there were times when she made mistakes, most of the children were alive and well. Even Li Huan was delivered by her.
