Chapter 18 Jia Zhang Finds Yi Zhonghai
Imagine the scene of the old man and Shazhu in the hospital. This scene appeared in Li Shengli's mind:
In front of the delivery room, a nurse held up a consent form for surgery and asked the parents to sign it. Jia Zhang stepped forward to sign.

The nurse asked who Jia Zhang was, and Jia Zhang replied that she was the mother of the woman in labor.

The nurse would ask, this requires the signature of the child's father, that is, the mother's husband. Then she would ask Sha Zhu, "Are you the child's father?"
Sha Zhu was smiling awkwardly at the side, and an old man named Yi Zhonghai explained that the woman's husband had passed away and Sha Zhu was there to help.

The nurse muttered to the side, I said it didn't look like it, and then said to the uncle Yi Zhonghai, you are the father of the woman in labor, you come and sign. Then Yi Zhonghai also explained awkwardly, and Jia Zhang next to him was angry.

Thinking of this, Li Shengli laughed while hiding in the quilt.

The next morning, Li Shengli got up early and went out for a workout as usual. When he came back, he met Sha Zhu and an old man Yi Zhonghai at the gate. The two were holding lunch boxes and packages in their hands, and it seemed that they were going to the hospital to deliver something.

Seeing the two of them, Lee Seung-ri couldn't help but smile as he recalled what happened last night. The two of them saw it but didn't care.

Judging from the situation, Qin Huairu is about to give birth and should be back in two days, but Jia Zhang is reluctant to pay for her hospitalization.

Sure enough, two days later in the afternoon, Qin Huairu came back sitting on a cart pulled by Sha Zhu, with a child in her arms.

Li Shengli was not at home at the time. He heard it from his third aunt when he returned home after get off work. The child was named Huaihua. It is said that Qin Huairu came up with the name when she saw locust flowers blooming all over the street.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai took Jia Zhangshi and the birth certificate of Huaihua given by the hospital to the street office to register her household registration. At that time, all newborns received subsidies.

Li Shengli stood at the door of his house, looking at the people gathered in the middle courtyard, shrugged his shoulders, and didn't join in the fun. This woman gave birth to a child, why should a grown man go and join in the fun? He didn't know them well.

However, seeing the lively atmosphere of the Jia family, Li Shengli thought carefully about whether he should get married.

Li Shengli was thinking about something when Xu Damao ran over from the backyard, shouting that he wanted to teach Sha Zhu a lesson.

Most likely he said something to annoy Sha Zhu. Xu Damao was a typical weakling who always couldn't help teasing Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao ran to the front yard and huddled by the archway. Seeing that Shazhu didn't catch up with him, he stood up. Turning his head, he saw Li Shengli looking at him at the door, and couldn't help blushing.

"Li Shengli, what are you looking at? I'm just giving in to Sha Zhu." Xu Damao yelled.

"Xu Damao, I didn't say anything." Li Shengli looked innocent.

Xu Damao looked at his own chick-like body, then looked at Li Shengli's big body, and compared the two's fighting power in his mind.

"Forget it. I won't bother with you two stinky cooks." Xu Damao turned around proudly and muttered softly.

"Xu Damao, what are you talking about? Speak louder." Li Shengli stared at Xu Damao with a smile.

"It's nothing. I, Lord Xu Damao, don't bear grudges and won't argue with you." Xu Damao straightened his neck, tilted his head and walked towards the backyard with a swagger.

Li Shengli was too lazy to pay attention to him. When he returned to the middle courtyard, someone would punish him. Xu Damao must have said bad things about Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu in front of Sha Zhu. The female comrades in the courtyard talked for a while at Jia's house and soon dispersed. Qin Huairu still had to recuperate after giving birth.

It should be time for Qin Huairu to go back to work after she finishes her confinement period, after all, she took maternity leave early.

Li Shengli did not go to the Jia family in the Central Courtyard. One reason was that there were only two widows in the Jia family, and it would not look good for a single man like Li Shengli to go there. Another reason was that if he went to the Central Courtyard, Yi Zhonghai would ask Li Shengli to help the Jia family.

Li Shengli's life was almost full of highlights every day. In his free time, he would go to the entrance of the alley to play chess with an old man. On this day, after Li Shengli finished his work in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill, he accidentally saw Xu Damao following a girl, dancing and talking about something.

Li Shengli took a curious look but did not go up to say hello. This Xu Damao was most likely on a blind date. If he appeared in front of Xu Damao like this, he would become a light bulb.

Li Shengli sat on the bench in the kitchen and wondered who this girl was. She was quite pretty, wearing a fashionable coat and a pair of small leather shoes.

When Li Shengli associated the three words "steel rolling mill", "special clothes" and "Xu Damao", he immediately understood that this girl was most likely Lou Xiao'e.

That's right, Xu Damao is already 24 years old, it's time for him to find a wife. Besides, the social atmosphere has become gradually tense in the past two years. I heard that Xu Damao's mother used to be a servant in the Lou family. This is what they call "whoever is close to the water gets the moon first."

But these are none of his business. As for intercepting, Li Shengli is not capable of such a thing. Besides, Lou Xiao'e is a lady from a wealthy family and doesn't seem to be someone who knows how to manage her life. Li Shengli can't stand the temper of a lady from a wealthy family.

However, seeing that Xu Damao had started dating, Li Shengli could no longer sit still. His life was stable, and he didn't have many entertainment activities. It would be nice to find a wife and play with the children. His big sword should be stained with blood.

Looking around, many people were talking about how there could be such a beautiful female worker in a steel mill. Those who knew her knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Lou family. The people around also gave up. After all, how could a young lady like a worker like him be so smug?

Although Xu Damao was not a good person, the projectionist was considered an intellectual in this steel mill.

Li Shengli listened to the gossip and wondered how this idiot Zhu would react if he knew Xu Damao was on a blind date.

Now Sha Zhu is still bringing lunch boxes for Qin Huairu. This matter has spread all over the factory. Those who are familiar with Sha Zhu know that he is a heartless and overly nice person, while those who don't know him think that Sha Zhu has fallen in love with the widow.

The days passed one by one. After Qin Huairu gave birth to Xiao Huaihua, although she received subsidies from the factory, the subsidies were not enough for food. Everyone had a fixed ration, especially since she had a child. Qin Huairu could not get enough nutrition and had no milk.

Qin Huairu was so anxious that she was getting angry. Sha Zhu's special cooking was no longer effective. After all, the factory did not provide entertainment every day. Qin Huairu had no choice but to ask Jia Zhang to ask the old man for help.

"Old Yi, are you there?" Jia Zhang shamelessly came to Yi Zhonghai's house. Yi Zhonghai was her son's master and the eldest uncle in the courtyard, so he had to help her.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you?" Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang in surprise. Jia Zhang would not do anything without profit, so why did she come to see him now?

"Uncle, this is the case. It's not a good idea for Huairu to eat coarse grains every day. Without meat, Huairu will have no milk, and Huaihua will go hungry. Can you think of a solution?" Jia Zhang asked with a shameless face.
