Once a rift occurs, it is difficult to repair it, especially since there is no deep relationship between Yu Haitang and Xu Damao. They were just fooled by Xu Damao's sweet words. In addition, Xu Damao is much better off than ordinary people.

Due to the poor economic conditions, he was temporarily distracted and married Xu Damao.

It would be fine if Xu Damao had always cared for Haitang as carefully as he did at the beginning, coaxing her with sweet words and caring as much as he did at the beginning.

Perhaps the reason why Xu Damao kicked Lou Xiao'e away and coaxed and tricked her into getting Yu Haitang was to give birth to a son to carry on the family lineage of the old Xu family.

But now that Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye's child is about to be born, and Qin Jingru is wandering around the courtyard with her hands on her hips and a big belly all day long, and they meet every other day, how could Xu Damao not have any ideas in his mind.

Qin Jingru was fine. Xu Damao thought he had a good relationship with Wang Zhong, and there was no conflict between them. However, Sha Zhu’s grandson was regarded as a life-and-death enemy by Xu Damao. Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye had only been married for a short time, and now they were about to give birth to a child.

Already.

Xu Damao and Silly Zhu have never stopped competing with each other since they were young. Xu Damao married Lou Xiaoe early, but Silly Zhu has always been single, and even when he was nearly thirty years old, he still has not got a wife.

I always feel a sense of accomplishment in front of Zhu.

But this sense of accomplishment disappeared with Sha Zhu's marriage and Ran Qiuye's pregnancy.

Especially Xu Damao, who has now married a second wife, was overtaken by Silly Zhu, giving Xu Damao a latecomer to take over.

The key point is that Xu Damao has to pass through the middle courtyard and in front of Sha Zhu's house every day when he goes to and from get off work. Ran Qiuye and Sha Zhu also have to go to work every day. Even if Xu Damao deliberately avoids it, they can't help but bow their heads and not look up to see each other.

Before entering the house, Xu Damao was in a good mood. This time he went to the countryside to show movies and gained a lot, not only materially, but also the spring breeze in the cowshed made Xu Damao reluctant to leave.

Although the woman did not have Yu Haitang's youthful beauty and beautiful face, she had a mature charm that Yu Haitang did not have, and she complied with all Xu Damao's requirements, giving Xu Damao a great sense of accomplishment.

However, Xu Damao's good mood did not last long. When he entered the middle courtyard, he happened to see Ran Qiuye coming out of the house with a big belly.

Ran Qiuye's belly was already very big at nearly eight months old. Coupled with the thick cotton-padded jacket and the stupid feeding every day, Ran Qiuye had an extra ring of flesh on his face, making him look round and round like a naive roly-poly.

"Da Mao is back!" Although Ran Qiuye didn't like Xu Damao, the discipline cultivated by her scholarly family prevented her from turning a blind eye to Xu Damao, so she took the initiative to say hello.

"Yeah!" Xu Damao hummed. Looking at Ran Qiuye's bloated waist, instead of feeling ugly, he felt an indescribable discomfort. He pushed his bicycle quickly through the yard and walked to the west path.

Ran Qiuye had no intention of greeting Xu Damao, and a greeting was already the limit.

Ran Qiuye put her hands on her waist and walked out in a hurry. Just after passing the moon gate, Qin's mother who was boiling medicine outside the east chamber saw Ran Qiuye and immediately stood up and greeted Ran Qiuye with a smile on her face.

"Teacher Ran is here!"

"Auntie is making medicine!" Ran Qiuye also said with a smile.

"Give Jingru some anti-fetal medicine!" He said and quickly turned around and shouted into the room: "Jingru, Teacher Ran is here, why don't you come out quickly!"

"coming!"

Qin Jingru's voice came from the room.

Qin's mother smiled apologetically at Ran Qiuye and said, "This girl Jingru has been like this since she was a child. Teacher Ran, please bear with her!"

"I think Jingru is like this very interesting!" Ran Qiuye said this not to deal with Qin's mother, but from the bottom of his heart. Compared to Qin Huairu's deep scheming and sister-in-law He Yuyu's intelligence and agility, Ran Qiuye prefers a straightforward temper. It doesn't matter.

The scheming Qin Jingru, even if something happened, it was written all over her face.

While talking, the curtain made of thick floral cloth was opened, and he was wearing a thick blue cotton-padded jacket, a big red woolen scarf wrapped around his neck, a leather hat on his head, and a pair of Qin Mu's shoes under Wang Zhong's feet.

Under his guidance, he wore specially made high-top cotton shoes, and a canvas bag hung on his forearm.

"Teacher Ran, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!" Qin Jingru said embarrassedly: "I happened to be in the toilet just now!"

"Look what you said, I just arrived too!" Ran Qiuye said with a smile: "Let's go! Don't miss the time."

"Mom, I'll leave first!" Qin Jingru turned around and said hello to Qin's mother.

"Go ahead, go back early!" Mother Qin said with a smile.

"Auntie, let's go first."

The two of them walked out of the courtyard arm in arm and headed straight to the hospital of the steel rolling mill.

Originally Qin Jingru did not need prenatal check-ups, and the medical skills of the doctors in the hospital were not as good as Wang Zhong's. However, Qin Jingru was really bored at home, especially after Qin's mother came, all the work at home was taken over by Qin's mother. Qin Jingru suddenly became

She became a freeloader, and besides listening to the radio and reading the novels Wang Zhong bought specially for her, there was nothing else to do.

One time when she saw Ran Qiuye going to the hospital for a check-up, Qin Jingru went with her out of curiosity. From then on, the two of them made appointments to go together for every prenatal check-up.

These days, prenatal check-ups are still far away from the common people. After Ran Qiuye went to Wang Zhong for a drink, Ran Qiuye, under Wang Zhong's suggestion, asked Ran Qiuye to go to the hospital for regular check-ups to ensure the health of Ran Qiuye's body and the fetus in her belly.

situation.

In the evening, Yu Haitang came home from get off work. When she saw Xu Damao's bicycle at the door of her house, she knew that Xu Damao had arrived home. She was very happy in her heart. After all, the two had only been married for a few months.

A strong smell of alcohol hit his nose, and Yu Haitang's brows suddenly wrinkled.

Xu Damao was nowhere to be seen in the room. There was only a messy table. An empty wine bottle was poured among the dishes. Chopsticks were thrown carelessly on the table. Apart from the few remaining pieces of peanuts coated in salt and oil, there was nothing left on the plate.

More than a dozen of them were lying scattered on the table, and there was also a plate of fried radish with meat that had been solidified by oil and water.

There were also several pieces of limp radish lying on the table. The oil on the radish also condensed into a solid state, as if they were growing out of the table.

Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Yu Haitang instantly became angry. He didn't even put down his bag and went straight into the back room. The smell of alcohol in the back room was getting stronger. Xu Damao was lying on the bed, still covered with a quilt, following him.

He slept like a dead pig and didn't even hear her coming home.

Seeing this scene, Yu Haitang was so angry that she grabbed the shoulder strap of her satchel tightly, then stamped her foot, turned around suddenly, walked out without a moment's hesitation, and slammed the door.

Xu Damao, who was sleeping like a dead pig, naturally had no idea what was happening at home at this moment.

Unfortunately for Yan Jiecheng, he had to go to the west wing to share a bed with his brother at night.

In the middle courtyard, in the east wing, after dinner, Banggan was sitting cross-legged on the kang, leaning over the kang table, scratching his head over his homework. Mrs. Jia Zhang was wearing reading glasses and holding the soles of her shoes in her hands, sitting by the window on the west side.

They were making cloth shoes. Qin Huairu was knitting a sweater with two needles in her hand. Next to her, the sisters Xiaodang and Huaihua were obediently helping their mother to knit.

"What's wrong? You don't know how?" Looking at his son who was scratching his head and scratching his head and not writing for a long time, Qin Huairu couldn't help but stop what he was doing and asked with concern.

Banggeng said with a bitter face: "Mom, math is too difficult."

(Bangge is still a primary school student)

"Try harder and think carefully!" Qin Huairu still hopes that Banggeng can solve these problems by himself, because according to Shazhu's daughter-in-law and his new neighbor Teacher Ran, the homework assigned by the teachers every day is based on

The after-class exercises summarized from the knowledge taught in the classroom every day are a test and consolidation of students' daily learning. They are only beneficial to students' learning, not harmful, and there is no so-called "excessive" situation.

Bangge, on the other hand, scratches his head and scratches at his homework almost every day. According to Teacher Ran, he doesn’t pay enough attention at school during the day and often falls asleep or loses focus in class.

How could Qin Huairu, who had always hoped for a successful child, accept this?

"Mom, I really can't think of it!" Banggeng said with a confused look on his face.

Qin Huairu looked at her son, sighed, and said helplessly: "Ask Teacher Ran yourself!"

"Okay!" Banggeng immediately smiled and stood up impatiently, put on his shoes and ran out with his homework.

But not long after I went there, I came back dejected.

"What's wrong?" Qin Huairu asked hurriedly.

Bang Gang said: "Uncle Silly said that Teacher Ran is not feeling well and has already fallen asleep!"

Qin Huairu is pregnant with three children and has rich experience. Naturally, she knows that women are more sleepy during pregnancy than normal, especially now that Ran Qiuye is still so old, and the children who have basically developed in her belly will not be safe.

Get noisy.

"Where is your Aunt Yuyu?"

"I don't know, there are no lights on in Aunt Yuyu's room!" Banggeng said with a disappointed look on his face.

"Brother, why don't you go to the front yard and ask your uncle?" Xiao Dang, who was helping Qin Huairu ball up yarn, suddenly said.

"Yes!" Banggan's eyes lit up instantly, and the disappointment on his face disappeared in an instant.

Before Qin Huairu could say anything, Banggan took his homework and ran out in a hurry.

The lights in the front yard, the east wing, and the main room are off, but the lights in the north room are on. On the wooden bed, Qin Jingru is nestled in Wang Zhong's arms, covered with a quilt. Wang Zhong is holding a collection of Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

Explained to Qin Jingru with great interest.

Qin Jingru's educational level is indeed not high. She has not graduated from elementary school. Although she knows Chinese characters, she does not know all the characters. However, she still knows the commonly used characters.

The two have been married for nearly a year, and Wang Zhong has not been idle. Although he is not in an ancient society similar to "Knowledge", it does not affect Wang Zhong's enjoyment of having red sleeves and a beautiful woman in his arms.

.

Qin Jingru's cultural level is not high, it doesn't matter, he can teach slowly, quote scriptures, and explain in simple terms, Wang Zhong can do all these at his fingertips.

It doesn't matter if the handwriting is ugly, you can teach her how to practice it step by step.

Although Qin Jingru was not particularly interested in things like music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she yearned for getting along with Wang Zhong, to the point of enjoying it, and had all Wang Zhong's demands.

In particular, Wang Zhong cited scriptures, extended from a poem or a line of words to the author's life, the time node and social environment when he wrote the work, and analyzed these things in detail into words that Qin Jingru could understand like telling a story.

.

For nearly a year, Qin Jingru had developed a habit of it. Especially after she became pregnant, Qin Jingru became even more attached to Wang Zhong. She had to snuggle in Wang Zhong's arms every night and listen to Wang Zhong pick out one or two poems and talk about them.

This is such a wonderful story that I can't sleep.

Even Qin's mother, who sleeps in a compartment separated from the main room, can also listen to a free and lively class.

Qin's mother was pricking up her ears, listening to her son-in-law's lively and half-understanding stories, but was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

Qin's mother put on her cotton-padded jacket, turned on the light, stood up and walked to the door. As soon as she opened the door, Banggeng very obediently called her aunt.
