381. Chapter 376 Born

(If it is incoherent, you can go back and read the previous chapter, and one error has been corrected. Although Zhang Mingsheng owns two boats, it is difficult for him to earn three thousand in half a year when he is not lucky. It has been changed to two thousand now. )

When Li Duoyu and the others rushed home, they found that all the doors of their neighbors were closed.

On the path leading to their home, the second sister-in-law, Zhu Xiuhua, was sitting on the slope with a pole.

Just sitting there, she gave people an aura of "one woman is in charge, and ten thousand people are not allowed to open it".

If Shui Hua wanted to be a knight when she was young, she probably had to practice, but the second sister-in-law was different, she was born to be Lu Zhishen.

Zhang Mingsheng saw that the doors of the neighbors on both sides were closed and there was no one on the road. He couldn't help but ask:

"Duoyu, where have all your neighbors gone?"

"Summer vacation is here. They should all go out to visit relatives or help take care of the children."

When Li Duoyu said this, Zhang Mingsheng immediately understood that the matter of the water-spawn child must be troublesome to them.

After the children are born, they must be given some gifts.

When Li Duoyu returned home, he found his father playing with little Tutu at the door. The door of the room where Shuihua lived was closed tightly, and screams of pain could be heard from time to time.

Zhang Mingsheng smiled and said hello to his father-in-law first, then hurriedly knocked on the door and said: "Shui Hua, I'm Mingsheng, I'm here."

But because the room was very small, there were already many people helping. Seeing a man knocking on the door, Po Wen said angrily:

"I've had several babies, and I'm still frizzy. It's not my first time to be a father. Don't worry, just go outside and wait."

Chen Huiying also shouted: "Shuihua already knows. Mingsheng, please go outside and wait."

Zhang Mingsheng smiled awkwardly, as if when a woman gave birth to a child, it was the most useless time for a man. He couldn't help at all and could only wait.

As soon as little Tutu saw Li Duoyu, he stepped on his little feet and ran over immediately.

"Slow down, don't run so fast."

Little Tutu ran up to Li Duoyu, became unsteady, and knelt down on the spot, but immediately got up again.

He was holding a watermelon candy wrapped in transparent plastic paper in his hand: "Dad, open it for me, I want to eat candy."

Li Duoyu glanced at Lao Li.

"Why did you buy candy for little Tutu again? I told you that it is easy for children to get stuck in their throats when eating candy."

Lao Li turned his head to one side and muttered in a low voice: "If this kid doesn't buy him candy, he doesn't want to pay attention to me at all."

Li Duoyu confiscated the candy on the spot and educated him: "My teeth haven't even grown yet, but I eat candy all day long."

After meeting my father-in-law.

Zhang Mingsheng was still a little afraid of him. After all, Comrade Li rarely smiled, but he still went up and handed him a cigarette.

"Dad, do you want to smoke?"

Lao Li took the cigarette and did not scold him: "In the future, if this kind of thing happens, come here earlier to find out."

Zhang Mingsheng nodded and said, "Dad, I promise this will never happen again."

"You know, whatever I say is fine."

Seeing Lao Li put the cigarette to his mouth and was about to dig into his pocket, Zhang Mingsheng quickly took out the matchbox and lit the cigarette in his father-in-law's mouth.

After seeing that the candy was confiscated, little Tutu puffed out her mouth and said, "Dad, go take a boat ride."

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "You kid, why are you not stealing food or playing around all day long?"

Zhang Mingsheng smiled and said: "Just get used to it. This is how children at this stage are."

Lao Li, who was smoking a cigarette, said with disdain: "You were even more difficult to control when you were a child. Not only were you greedy and playful, but at the age of seven or eight, you often secretly peed in the middle of the night. If you did, you would falsely accuse Xiaoying of peeing."

Li Duoyu, who was exposed in public, was embarrassed and frowned: "Comrade Lao Li, your son is now the village director, can you give him a little face?"

Lao Li hummed: "I gave you face, who gave me face? You secretly gave Chen Youtian and others a five-dollar salary increase?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly. Sure enough, he still couldn't hide it.

"Seafood has become more expensive recently, and labor prices have also increased."

Li Duoyu is really right about this. Affected by the general environment this year, many units have begun to increase salaries this year.

"If they fish like that, the price will rise wherever they go. Besides, after harvesting the kelp, there are only oyster fields now. There is no need for so many people. Quickly quit them. I can do it alone. In that case, a month You can also save a hundred or two hundred dollars.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I just let them rest for a few days. There will be big work soon. Next, they will probably be very tired."

Old Li was startled for a moment, frowned and said:

"Duoyu, what are you going to do?"

Li Duoyu said directly: "I'm going to fence the tidal flat and raise a batch of blue crabs or something."

Lao Li frowned: "What's the point of raising blue crabs? Just catch them." "There are so few blue crabs that it's hard to catch them. Look at the Zhao brothers. They almost dug through the mangroves every day." , I can only catch five or six in a day, and the price is still expensive. "

Zhang Mingsheng agreed and said: "I also think that there is a lot of fish to be said. Blue crabs have indeed become more and more expensive recently, and the blue crabs we have are becoming more and more difficult to catch. During the Chinese New Year, the price has increased to one dollar."

Lao Li still feels something is wrong:

"You already raise so many things. If you raise blue crabs, will you be able to raise them?"

Li Duoyu glanced at the second sister-in-law who was not far away, and whispered: "This time, not only am I the only one who raises the child, but the second brother and Xiaochao also have shares. Do you want my brother-in-law to raise it too?"

Zhang Mingsheng frowned and said, "I really don't have a penny. If you hadn't helped me this time, I would have had to sell the boat. I still owe you the money I invested in the big boat last time."

Old Li thought for a while and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "No, where can they get the money to invest?"

"It's human investment."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, do you want to come too? You can just come and help when the time comes."

"But I still have two fishing boats at home."

"Just sell the boat directly and come to do breeding with me. I guarantee you will make more money than fishing."

Li Duoyu remembered very clearly in his previous life that his brother-in-law also sold his fishing boat in the past few years and switched to raising eels. He borrowed part of the money he used to smuggle to the island country.

Zhang Mingsheng thought about it for a while and found that Li Duoyu's proposal was really good. To be honest, he was not happy in Shanggang Village.

Although he made a lot of money, his neighbors would disgust him from time to time with the fact that his wife couldn't give birth to a son.

Their family lived in Shanggang Village,

He was not happy.

Shuihua was not happy either.

The eldest and second sisters were not happy either.

In their place, if you can't give birth to a boy, it's like the whole family is guilty.

Although Xiasha Village also favors boys over girls, it's not that serious. After all, it's a village with hundreds of surnames. It's very tolerant in all aspects, not exclusive, and there's no such thing as a clan temple.

The most worshipped is Mazu, and there's Li Duoyu, the village director with a very positive outlook.

To be honest, life in Xiasha Village is really comfortable, plus Li Shuguang and Li Yaoguo, they are very nice people, and you can talk to each other. You can play mahjong and drink together.

In the past, I hated my second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua because she was talkative and always liked to be weird.

But since I saw her holding a carrying pole and guarding the intersection just now, I found that this person has many problems, but she is still good at heart.

Just as they were chatting.

There was a continuous scream from the room where Li Shuihua was.

Everyone also heard the midwife's voice: "You have given birth twice, why are you still so afraid of pain? Be brave, you can already see the head, try harder, it will come out soon."

Listening to the screams that came one after another.

The three men outside were very distressed when they heard it. When Xiao Tutu heard the sound, he immediately hugged Li Duoyu's calf.

"Daddy, hold me."

After Li Duoyu picked up Xiao Tutu, the boy went straight into his arms.

"Auntie is giving birth to a sister for you, what's there to be afraid of."

When Zhang Mingsheng heard this, he frowned and felt a little strange. It hasn't been born yet, how does Duoyu know that it's a sister?

After thinking about it for a while, he thought it should be Duoyu's casual words, so he didn't take it to heart.

The distressing sound lasted for about two hours, and the sound became smaller and smaller as time went on.

Not long after, the crying sound of "wa...wa..." came from the room.

Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, his entire back was wet, and the cigarette in his hand almost fell on his fingers.

At this moment, he was really scared.

Because he hadn't heard the sound of "announcement of good news". He had seen other people's children give birth. Once a son was born, the midwife would loudly announce the good news and say a few nice words.

At this time, the family had to give the midwife a red envelope.

And the red envelope,

Zhang Mingsheng had already prepared it. (End of this chapter)
