Liu Hui Zhen, holding Shen Wei and her two daughters, returned to the West Cross Courtyard.
Shen Wei discovered that Liu Hui Zhen’s courtyard was quite good. It wasn’t in the front courtyard, the middle courtyard, or the back courtyard, but rather in the West Cross Courtyard, located behind the beaded curtain gate next to Xu Da Mao’s house.
The entire West Cross Courtyard had a total of three rooms, all belonging to the Shen family.
There were no other residents in the courtyard. Even more precious was the fact that this West Cross Courtyard had a very spacious yard.
Shen Wei was quite satisfied with not having to be neighbors with those beasts.
However, as soon as he entered the house, seeing the dilapidated furniture and the thin quilt on the bed, Shen Wei broke down again.
What a terrible start this was.
Would this family, struggling so hard, be able to support him?
Would he become one of those predecessors who died of starvation upon transmigration?
Suddenly, a surge of heat coursed through him, and Shen Wei, unable to control his instinct, began to cry loudly. His cries were incredibly loud.
Shen You Tian and Shen You Chu, lying beside him, saw their brother crying and became anxious: “Mama, Mama, little brother is crying!”
Liu Hui Zhen quickly walked over, untied the bundle and took a look: “It’s fine, he needs a diaper change!”
Thankfully, Liu Hui Zhen had kept the diapers that Shen You Tian and Shen You Chu used as babies. They were mostly useless for selling, as no one wanted them.
Liu Hui Zhen could only wash them and put them away.
Now they came in handy.
Liu Hui Zhen skillfully changed Shen Wei’s diaper. She noticed he was a bit cold, so she found another blanket and covered him with it.
However, Shen Wei continued to cry!
“Mama, why is little brother still crying?”
Liu Hui Zhen looked anxious: “He must be hungry. Chu Chu, Tian Tian, you stay here and watch little brother, I’ll go out for a bit!”
“Okay!”
Shen You Chu and Shen You Tian lay on the kang. Seeing Liu Hui Zhen leave, Shen You Tian boldly lowered her head and quickly kissed Shen Wei’s cheek.
Shen Wei, an older bachelor in his previous life, had never even held a girl’s hand. He never imagined that on his first day of transmigration, he would be kissed by a girl.
Shen You Tian, after kissing him, her eyes lit up: “Little brother is so soft!”
Shen You Chu, mustering her courage, also kissed Shen Wei on his cheek.
“Peck!”
“Little brother is so soft, he’s so cuddly and cute!”
The twin sisters, with their double ponytails, lay on the kang and kept kissing Shen Wei, one after another.
Before he knew it, Shen Wei was kissed into a daze and drifted off to sleep.
【Congratulations, Host, your Life Growth System has been activated】
【As long as the Host achieves their growth goals, they can obtain various talents and rewards!】
【Infant Stage Growth Goal: Roll over one thousand times】
Shen Wei: “.....”
“Good news, transmigration activated a golden finger, I’m about to become a winner in life!”
“Bad news: The first task is to roll over one thousand times!”
He was still a baby of a few months, could he even roll over?
Typically, babies start rolling over around three months, but that’s for typical babies. Shen Wei was an abandoned child, with no one to care for him and no one to teach him.
Therefore, he had to start from rolling over. He needed to roll over one thousand times to receive a reward.
At that time, each household in the courtyard was discussing the matter of Liu Hui Zhen taking in the child.
In the front courtyard, Yang Rui Hua sighed: “This whole mess with Old Yi, he didn’t want to adopt him, so he forced Liu Widow to adopt him. Liu Widow and her family are all orphans and widows, how difficult their lives are.
Yesterday, I saw Chu Chu and Tian Tian, those two children, licking ice icicles in the yard to fill their stomachs.”
Yan Bu Gui: “Don’t say it, Old Yi’s move was a good one, a clever one. Yang Rui Hua, think about it, Liu Widow’s family originally had a rural household registration.
It’s very difficult to live in the capital, and if they adopt another child, their lives might become even harder.
When they can’t make ends meet, we can go to them and bargain. Maybe we can buy their house cheaply.
Yan Jie Cheng is almost a teenager. He’ll need a house when he gets married, won’t he?”
Yang Rui Hua’s eyes lit up: “You’re right, that’s a good plan!”
In the middle courtyard, little Bang Geng was lying in Qin Huairu’s arms eating. Two large grain silos wouldn’t be enough for Bang Geng to eat.
Jia Zhang Shi leaned over, her face full of joy: “Oh look at my grandson, how much he eats! It’s just like Dong Xu when he was a child!”
Speaking of children, Qin Huairu thought about Liu Widow: “Ai, Liu Widow adopted a little baby. I’m afraid their lives will become even harder!”
Jia Zhang Shi spat: “She’s a widow and she wants a son to support her? Humph, I reckon she’ll be kicked out of this courtyard sooner or later!
Dong Xu, you talk to your First Uncle later, ask him to help us get that loser’s house. Such a large courtyard, it should belong to our Bang Geng!
We’re so poor, and she’s raising a son for someone else. It’s like someone eating salt water and boiled beans - having nothing better to do.”
Jia Dong Xu’s eyes flickered: “Mom, that’s a good idea!”
“Huairu, is it for everyone?”
Liu Hui Zhen’s voice came from outside. Qin Huairu quickly put Bang Geng down, adjusted her clothes and said: “Hui Zhen, what do you need?”
Liu Hui Zhen looked at Qin Huairu’s chest: “My baby is hungry. I thought, you… anyway, Bang Geng can’t finish it all, can you help me feed him first?
When I earn some money, I’ll buy grains from you. Okay?”
Before Qin Huairu could speak, Jia Zhang Shi exploded: “Why? This is my grandson’s food. You want to give it to your mysterious kid, what will my grandson eat?”
Qin Huairu was actually a bit greedy. Bang Geng couldn’t finish it all, but she didn’t want to give it away for cheap: “Liu Sister, you see, our Bang Geng can eat, he’s still growing. I really can’t help you.”
Liu Hui Zhen’s eyes turned red: “Huairu, please, think of it as buying it from you, okay?”
Qin Huairu: “Liu Sister, I really can’t help.”
Liu Hui Zhen could only leave. She looked up, wanting to see if anyone else in the courtyard could help. Yi Zhong Hai saw her and immediately closed the door.
He Yu Shui ran out of the house, pulling out a hard steamed bread bun from her arms: “Liu Auntie, I still have a small steamed bread bun, take it back and feed little brother first!”
Liu Hui Zhen looked at He Yu Shui, wearing a thin cotton jacket that was too small for her, her cheeks red from the cold, and she was thin as a bean sprout. She felt extremely sorry: “Yu Shui, the baby is still young, he can’t eat this. You take this steamed bread bun back and eat it.
When you find some clothes at home, bring them to me, I’ll make you a thick cotton jacket.”
He Yu Shui burst into tears, then smiled: “Okay, thank you, Liu Auntie!”
He Da Qing ran off with a widow in 1952. Now Jia Dong Xu is alive and well, and Yi Zhong Hai doesn’t want Sha Zhu as his pensioner.
Therefore, Sha Zhu and his sister live a life in the courtyard that’s no better than Liu Widow’s.
Deaf Granny does favor Sha Zhu, but she only relies on the monthly allowance from the street office, and she barely has enough to eat meat herself. How could she care about the life or death of He Yu Zhu and Yu Shui?
Liu Hui Zhen couldn’t bear to see it, so she occasionally cared for He Yu Shui.
Therefore, He Yu Shui and Liu Hui Zhen’s family had a good relationship.
Liu Hui Zhen went to the back courtyard and saw First Aunt talking with Deaf Granny.
Liu Hai Zhong and his wife saw Liu Hui Zhen and immediately closed the windows and doors.
