After Lin Xiuqing put the child to sleep, she also asked him about his experience in the city today.
"The sooner you make a decision, the sooner you feel at ease. You don't have to worry about it all the time. When you have time, you can just go over and take a look. When the time is almost up, you can drive back."
"Well, I don't have anything to do tomorrow. I'll go check on the progress of the wooden boat tomorrow. It will definitely have to be driven back before the end of the month, and that's just a few days. You can take a look at it when you have free time these two days, and prepare something for me to spend the next few days.
Take it to the city to Director Chen."
"I remember to call my mother later and ask her what would be a good gift."
"Um."
Originally, Lin Xiuqing thought of calling Ye's mother the next day, but she didn't expect Ye's mother to call back early in the morning. However, it was not to her own family, but to A Guang.
But within a short while, Aguang ran directly to their house happily and with a beaming face.
"Dongzi...Dongzi...quickly, quick...lend me the tractor, Huimei gave birth, gave birth to twin boys, two at once...hahaha..."
"Oh my god, I'm so awesome...so good...double yolks...hahahaha...two, so awesome..."
"Hurry up, lend me the tractor, and come with me to the city to have a look..."
A Guang started yelling as soon as he ran into the yard, and he was as excited as a young boy. As soon as Ye Yaodong reacted, he kept dragging him out and urging him.
"No...wait a minute...you tell me something first. What's wrong with this time and a half? Huimei gave birth? Two at once? Two, really? My mother just called to report
letter?"
He was a little unbelievable. He said that he had given birth to Thaksin, but he said that he would give birth to two children at once. Isn't this too unexpected? There is no twin gene in their family, so the probability of giving birth to twins is too low, right?
Lin Xiuqing also hurriedly followed behind and followed them to the yard before she found a chance to talk. She was full of surprise, "Really? She gave birth so soon? Twin boys?"
"Yes, yes, I gave birth to twin yolks early in the morning, twin sons, blessed by my ancestors, haha..." Aguang's mouth almost split to the back of his head, he was so happy.
Sister-in-law Ye next door and Sister-in-law Ye hurriedly came out of the house when they heard his shouting. They asked questions through the wall and walked toward their yard.
"Emi gave birth? Ten days and a half month early?"
"It's twins, it's normal in advance." The old lady also looked happy, "I'll just tell you, I asked Bodhisattva, and Bodhisattva said it was a boy, so it must be a boy. I didn't expect two of them at once. This girl has a good life.
Ah, if we have two children at once, fortunately it is the second child, which is safer and easier to have."
Sister-in-law Ye was also full of surprise, "Oh, two sons? No wonder Aguang was so happy that he couldn't find his answer. What a happy event, such a big happy event. Who is so lucky to have two sons at once?
"
Second Sister-in-law Ye congratulated her with a smile on her face, "Why are you whining so early in the morning? It turns out there is such a big happy event. It would be better if you give birth to her as soon as possible and you will be safe. When did you give birth?"
"My mother said that my water broke yesterday evening, and she gave birth at around 6 o'clock this morning. As soon as she finished cleaning it, I asked my third sister-in-law's mother to look at her. She called back to announce the good news. She had just given birth not long ago."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "There have never been twin boys in our village. We had a pair of twin girls before. You are lucky. Now the second child is strictly controlled. You have two at once, which saves trouble."
Sister-in-law Ye also smiled and agreed, "Yes, when people give birth to a second child, the eldest child must be a girl, and the baby is born every five years. It saves trouble for you to have both at once."
"I said her belly looked like a big watermelon. Your third sister-in-law wasn't that big when she was about to give birth. It turned out that she had two belly. You're really good at it. You can do both."
"Hahahahahaha, I asked you why I was so unlucky in the past 20 years, all my luck is here, hahaha..." Aguang was so happy that he couldn't find the north. He ran here for a while, and he was still in a excited mood.
I would probably only be happy when a son was born, not so excited, but I was really excited to have two twins all at once. There were no twins in their village yet.
Father Pei arrived late at this time. He rode his bicycle to the gate. When he got off, his crotch almost got stuck on the front bumper, and the bicycle fell to the ground in a mess, but he still had a smile on his face.
He didn't even have time to help the bicycle, so he hurried in first.
No matter how important a bicycle is, it is not as important as two precious grandchildren.
"This kid is running so fast that I can't catch up with him on a bicycle. If I ask him to wait for me, he will run away in a hurry and disappear."
At this time, everyone hurriedly said congratulations. Father Pei's face was also beaming with joy. He felt proud that he had two grandsons all of a sudden.
When people get old, of course they want to have a family full of children and grandchildren. Twins are so rare.
"Okay, I've said it and you all know it. Let's set off quickly. If I had known I wouldn't have come back yesterday, I would have stayed there. Who knows, what a coincidence, it started last night."
Lin Xiuqing saw A Guang hurriedly pulling A Dong to go out again, and quickly shouted, "Catch two chickens and bring them over. I don't know when you will come back. My mother went there a few days ago and only brought small clothes with me."
I'm afraid there's no place to raise eggs, red dates, longans, etc., and I haven't caught chickens either..."
"No, no, no, now is not the past. If you have money, are you worried that you can't buy something? Then just buy two in the village over there. Let's leave quickly. If we set off at this time, it will be noon when we arrive.
.”
Ye Yaodong was dragged by him, his clothes were twisted into pieces, and he was still wearing slippers.
When he walked to the workshop, the floor was cleaned last night. It was wet and there were puddles everywhere. The sun had just come out in the early morning and it hadn't dried yet. His slippers became slippery after just a few steps, and they were kept being pulled by Aguang.
While running, I accidentally slipped the toe of my slipper to my heel.
"Wait, wait... I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry..."
"Hurry up. My wife and children are still waiting."
"No, look at my feet and help me take out my slippers first."
Ye Yaodong lifted his left foot, and the entire slipper had slipped to his ankle.
He didn't look like this when wearing flip-flops before, but because two little wolfdogs at Linji a few days ago chewed up his flip-flops with tooth marks, two pairs like this were sent to him within two days.
slippers.
It's okay to wear them normally, but when the ground is wet, your feet will be slippery. If you walk faster or run, your toes will easily stick out, and then the shoes will slip to your ankles.
"You are the only one who has a lot of things to do and you still wear slippers when you go out..."
Aguang and his father immediately lowered their heads to help him pull the slippers out of his ankles, and they pulled hard.
"Let me go, I don't wear slippers at home, should I still wear leather shoes? As soon as you walked in, you pulled me out and didn't even give me a chance to say something or react. Now you have the nerve to tell me to come out wearing slippers."
"Yes, yes... yes, yes... everything you said is right, okay, okay, leave now."
Ye Yaodong was actually anxious and wanted to move faster, but there were people who were more anxious than him. They kept pulling him, but instead slowed him down, but those pig ears couldn't listen.
Fortunately, after the tractor started, the impatient man became calm and could sit still. Even though he could not stop being urged to go faster on the road.
He had to speed up when the road was flat, but when turning, he had to slow down a little.
As soon as they walked out of the hospital to the workshop to drive the tractor, the neighbors came over curiously. They had just heard them yelling, and thought something happened again?
Finally, I came over and listened, and I was extremely surprised. It turned out that Ye Huimei had gone to the city to give birth to a baby, and now she had given birth to twins, which surprised everyone.
As a group of women stood at the door chatting, more and more people gathered around them. Everyone thought there was something new so early in the morning.
There is too little entertainment in rural areas. Wherever there are crowds of people, people just want to crowd in and just listen.
The three sisters-in-law also thought that since the children were already born, it didn't matter anymore and they could talk about it.
Don't tell me now, if I take you back for confinement in a few days, I will distribute wedding eggs to relatives and friends, and the villagers will still know about it.
It is quite rare to have twins. Within a short time, the news had spread throughout the village, and everyone suddenly realized why they had not seen Ye Huimei for so long.
The gossip spread much faster than the speed of their tractor. Before they even arrived in the city, the whole village knew about it.
And when the sun was at its peak, the tractor also arrived at the village.
What’s interesting is that the neighbors in this village are quite humane. When they learned that Ye Huimei had given birth to twins this morning, some gave them 5 eggs, some gave them a handful of red dates and a handful of longans, and some took one or two pieces.
I took care of all the old diapers and clothes at home.
When they walked in, Mother Ye and Mother Lin were already rolling red eggs there.
"Coming? I guess you will come right away after receiving the call. You will be there at noon."
"Where's Huimei..."
Aguang rushed into the room immediately and went straight to the bed.
Father Pei was too embarrassed to get too close, so he stood by the stove and kept thanking Mother Ye and Mother Lin.
Ye Yaodong entered the door last to park the tractor.
When they entered, Aguang and his son had already finished greeting each other and each had a baby in their arms. The smiles on their faces could not be stopped.
"They look just like you father and son, just a little darker and more like grandpa..."
"Aguang doesn't look that dark this year..."
"It's a little dark, but it doesn't matter. Boys don't need to be white anyway. Our children at the beach are all black..."
"It's just a few hours after birth. It will get better after a few days. The baby will look the same every day. It will definitely not be so dark by then. It doesn't matter if it's a boy. Girls have to be whiter." Mother Lin smiled.
road.
Mother Ye also said: "Fortunately, it's a boy. Now there are two of them, which is considered a consummation. I asked her why her belly is so big. When she came here a few days ago, she was mumbling whether it was twins.
.”
"It's just that these two people are so arrogant. They said they ate too much and were fat. They originally hid here and didn't dare to go to the hospital for a checkup. Fortunately, I came early. Otherwise, what would you do if you waited so long?
What to do? If you give two back, it will be difficult for your in-laws."
"After giving birth to one child, I thought it was over. Amitabha was there, and the Bodhisattva was there to bless mother and child. Unexpectedly, Huimei was still there complaining of stomach pain. She said she still had stomach pains, which scared me to the point where I was in a hurry."
Ye Mu said happily, this is really worth being happy about.
Ye Yaodong was also there to rejoice, "That's good, I came early, and I have a lot of things prepared."
"Yeah, luckily I brought all the old and new clothes and diapers made at home, otherwise I would be really busy and it wouldn't be as convenient outside as at home."
Mother Lin smiled and put all the rolled red eggs into the basket, "While it's hot, I'll send them to the neighbors, two for each family, just to make everyone feel happy."
"Okay, then I'll bother my mother-in-law."
"No matter how polite you are, we are all members of our family."
Ye Yaodong also walked to the bedside to look at Ye Huimei. He saw that she was wrapped tightly in the quilt, with a piece of cloth wrapped around her head. For a moment, he forgot to express concern, and the first thing he said was, "Are you hot?"
"
Ye Huimei couldn't help but laugh, "It's so hot that my hair is all wet and I don't know how much I've sweated. But my mother asked me to endure it. This is only the first day."
"Then just be patient, close your eyes and sleep for a while, I guess you haven't slept all night."
A Guang also immediately agreed, "Yes, you should sleep for a while first. Having two babies at once will definitely be more tiring than one."
Ye Yaodong wanted to reach out and take the child in his arms for a hug, but he turned away and said, "The one you hold in my father's hand is said to be small."
"Who doesn't have a son if he doesn't even want to be hugged?"
Ye Yaodong cursed and turned to look at what Pei's father was holding.
"Let me take a look. I haven't seen it before. Look how dark it is. It's just been born in my mother's womb and I haven't seen the light. It shouldn't be too...dark..."
Before he took over the hand, he just moved the thin film covering the face of the swaddled child, and his mouth suddenly became stuck.
He took back his words.
Indeed... quite... dark...
After looking at the child twice, he couldn't help but look at Father Pei twice. He had almost the same color. Is this child rebelling against his ancestors?
Not to mention, Aguang looks more like his father, but he hasn’t gone to sea much in the past year, and he is not that dark. This kid looks like his father, but he is dark and looks more like his grandfather. The three generations of grandparents have the same face...
…
Father Pei had a cheerful face, as if he had a grandson and everything was in order, "This child is so well-behaved and cute, isn't he? Cute, isn't he? He sticks out his tongue all the time..."
"Haha, cute...so cute..."
Take it further away...
Fortunately, Pei Yu looks pink and tender, more like Huimei. If he had such a dark appearance, it would be a disaster. I don't know how much the dowry will cost.
This one was so dark, and he was a little curious about the one on Aguang's hand. Logically speaking, the twins should look the same, right?
He came to A Guang curiously, "Show me what you have on your hand? Is it the same color? There is no color card, otherwise we can still match a pair..."
Aguang swung the knife over and glared at him.
Ye Huimei also laughed, "I don't know why, but I gave birth to two such black babies. Those who didn't know it thought they were digging coals in their stomachs. Fortunately, they look like their family members, otherwise I would have been able to give birth to mine."
Wrong."
Mother Ye laughed and said, "It won't be so dark in a few days. It was red when it was just born."
"Nonsense, Xiaojiu was born red. Haven't I seen it before? These two are black..."
Mother Ye slapped him twice and said, "Just wait until it blooms. What's wrong with the darker ones? Darker ones are healthier. Do you think everyone is as white as you? Don't all their families have dark ones?"
Father Pei's face was full of smiles and he didn't mind at all, "Yes, our family is all dark. Only girls are fairer. Aguang was born dark and will gradually become whiter as he is raised. It doesn't matter, boys don't have to be fair.
.”
"That's right, black people are healthy!"
Aguang was so happy that he would not think his child was evil. After holding him for a while and seeing the child crying loudly, he put the child back on the bed.
"Did you poop or do you want to eat?"
Mother Ye quickly wiped her hands and stepped forward, "Let me have a look."
One was crying, and the other one was crying soon after. Mother Ye hurriedly changed the diaper for this one. After changing it, she took it to Huimei to breastfeed, and then changed it for the other one, and the howling slowly stopped.
Ye Yaodong turned to A Guang and asked, "Are you going to stay tonight?"
"Definitely."
"So, when are you going to pick them up, mother and son? How are you going to pick them up? This tractor has air leakage from all sides, so it's not suitable. When driving on the road, it's dusty and windy. It's extremely dirty, and it's not good for the children and the mother."
Aguang thought for a while, "When we came to the city yesterday, I saw several cars in the city. They should be able to carry passengers. I will go to the city tomorrow to ask and spend more money to invite them over.
The car is well wrapped on all sides, so it won’t be exposed to wind or get dirty.”
"That's fine."
In the past few years, both the province and the city have been developing rapidly. It has only been one year. Previously, only tractors, buses, and rural buses could be seen on the streets. In the past two years, cars have also been seen. It can be seen that there are still many problems.
Few people have made a lot of money.
Everyone has taken advantage of the spring breeze of reopening.
"Anyway, after you have seen it, you should go back early to avoid getting home and it will be dark again and the road will be unsafe. I will stay here for two days and take them back after I find a car."
"Don't be in a hurry, I'm here now, just sit there for a while."
He also wanted to walk around the village to see which open space would be better, and then take advantage of the time when people are here to talk to the village chief to see if he could be given a piece of land to build a house.
Their area has not been developed yet, and there are wastelands everywhere. Unlike their land shortage at the seaside, not only farmland, but also homestead land for building houses is in short supply. There are several nearby villages built close to the mountains and the sea.
Even some houses around the town are built on rocks above the sea. The rocks are higher so that the houses can be built on them. Some are also built on rocks halfway up the mountain.
It shouldn't be that difficult to buy land and settle down in this village. Does it also generate income for the village? Selling a piece of land can also bring an extra income to the village. All it takes is the village chief's nod.
"When I finish working here, I have to cook some noodles for Huimei. I'll cook a little more. You guys haven't had lunch yet when you came here."
"It's the same if I go to my brother-in-law's shop outside to eat. Just give it to them."
"Just by the way, I'm just ordering more longevity noodles. It doesn't take much effort. I'll do it here. Don't bother others all the time."
"All right."
Ye Huimei took turns feeding the two children. It was inconvenient for the grown men to gather around the bed, so they stood at the door to chat again.
Under normal circumstances, the confinement room is not suitable for Pei's father and Ye Yaodong to walk in. Usually visitors will only stand at the door and say a few words, and let people take the child out to take a look.
Now that I'm outside, not at home, it's not that convenient, but it's not that particular either.
When A Guang came out and sat on the steps at the door, he still said proudly that he had given birth to double yolks at once, and finally there was one thing that was better than him.
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart, this is a competition? Then he didn't lose either.
"I also have two sons."
"It's different. I do two at a time. I'm so awesome... I don't dare to think that if you give me another chance, I can get two more..."
"It's a beautiful thought, but I'm not that lucky. You've been lucky. You've been lucky for half your life. Will you be fined double when you go back?"
"Why? They were all born at once, so why should we be fined double? When the eggs are beaten into a bowl, two yolks come out at once. Have they been beaten twice?"
"The fine is 500, so each one is 250?"
I heard that prenatal checkups for twins will cost double!
Obviously it is a set of inspections, but it is only one inspection, but two will be charged twice, and three will be charged three times.
"Ah! You're only two hundred and five hundred and the penalty is double! I'm rich!"
"Then give me some flowers?"
Father Pei smiled and said, "I heard that the price has increased, right? In the past two years, there were 500, and some villages also had 700, 800, and 1,000. In the past two years, there are more."
Aguang was speechless, "The price of giving birth is going up? How much does a family earn in a year? These people who have to be punished have gone bankrupt."
"It would be good to give birth. Xiaoxiao's wife hasn't given birth yet. It seems to be around the same time as you. It's probably going to be soon. She can have two full-moon wines."
"When I go back and ask him, I'll punish him if he wants. Anyway, I have two sons at once, and I've made a lot of money."
"Have you thought of a name?" Ye Yaodong asked.
"I had already thought of a boy's name and a girl's name, but now they are not enough. I have to think about it again."
"What's the original name? Can't it be better to change the name based on the original name?"
"Pei can't..."
"Haha, crap!"
"This name is quite good. If it is a big name, then it will be better to choose a nickname that is good to call. But it cannot be done now. It has to be changed now. The twins cannot be so hasty!"
"You should ask my sister, she probably has better results than you."
"Then go in and ask later."
"I'm going to walk around the village later and take a look at the surrounding open spaces. Do you want to take a look?"
"Yes, let's go and see together."
Aguang explained to his curious father that Dongzi wanted to buy a piece of land here, build a house, and maybe a warehouse to make it easier to move back and forth and store goods.
"You come and go. It's really convenient to build a house. It's more convenient to have your own home. It's not a problem to always rent someone else's shabby house."
"Yes, I think so too."
Aguang also told his father that if Dongzi bought it, he would also buy it, and he would settle down in the city anyway.
However, Father Pei disagreed. Their family did not open a store in the city. Although they had a store, they did not rent it out. They did not come and go here every three days. At most, they had to rush back immediately after selling goods when they docked.
In the village.
Even if you buy a piece of land and build a house, it will sit idle and you won't be able to live there for even a few days. It's a waste of money. If you have the money, you might as well buy a boat and get more income.
A Guang felt that what his father said made sense, so he was not in a hurry and planned to read it first before talking.
Anyway, now does not mean that in the future, something may change their minds in the future, or there may be some temporary changes.
Ye Yaodong didn't try to persuade him. He could just discuss it between his father and his son. If he had any questions, he could talk to A Guang in private, and he wouldn't interfere with the discussion there.
Ye Mu was very quick with her hands and feet. In a short while, a large pot of longevity noodles was ready. There were enough ingredients and rice wine in it. The bowl of noodles was full of the smell of wine.
It smells delicious and they are all used to it.
"It's very convenient to live near this market. Such big shrimps are good and fresh, and you can buy them every day."
"I bought it by the way when I was on the phone this morning. I also have a few fish to make fish soup in the evening. The other pork liver and pig feet were bought by my mother-in-law. The mushrooms and fungus were all brought from home. I have everything.
It’s also easy to cook.”
After Ye Mu finished speaking, she went to take down the basket hanging on the wall next to her, grabbed a large handful of day lilies and dried them for everyone to see.
"There is also a big bag of these day lilies. My mother-in-law also brought them from home. With her taking care of them, I have saved a lot of trouble. I really have to thank my parents for helping me take care of them in the past six months. Ah.
You also have to thank them."
Mother Lin said politely: "It's nothing. Everyone around the corner is a relative, and they are all here. She must be taken care of. It is not convenient for her to be a pregnant woman. The couple also go to the shop every day to help, and also give us.
It saves a lot of trouble and you don’t have to thank me so politely.”
A Guang said quickly: "Yes, when I take mother and son back, I will thank my uncle and aunt for taking care of them in the past few months. I will invite you to the wedding banquet at home."
"How can we have that free time, haha."
Ye Yaodong immediately planned to answer the call, "It's okay. Then we will close the door and rest for two days, and go home for two days. You guys don't get much rest, so we just take the opportunity to close the door and go home to rest for a few days."
Since her son-in-law was so polite, Mother Lin didn't say much and just smiled.
The arrival of a new child was a great joy. Everyone in the room was beaming with joy. There were not many stools to sit on, so they ate standing up with bowls in their hands, all with smiles on their faces.
After Ye Yaodong filled his stomach, he immediately took A Guang out to look at the open space. The bright sun shining high at noon could not stop his enthusiasm at all.
The two of them didn't even wear a hat, and they were sweating profusely before taking even two steps, but they still insisted on walking around the entire village. Fortunately, they heard a popsicle seller, which saved them from a heatstroke.
Apart from the excited children who had just returned from summer vacation, they were probably the only ones wandering around outside at noon on a hot day.
After the two of them finished shopping, they went to sit under a big tree to cool off, eat a popsicle to relieve the heat, and also discussed the purchase of land.
"How big do you want to buy?"
"Near the entrance of the village, there is a large open space there. It is said that it is on the side of the road, but it is not complete. There are also five or six households nearby. The surrounding area is quite large. It should be more than ten acres. Let's see if such a large area can be sold.
, if you don’t want to sell it, you can bargain for half the price.”
A Guang was startled, "Does it have to be so big?"
"I not only want to build a house and a yard, but I also want to build a warehouse. I'm also thinking, should I move my drying work here in a few years? After all, it's close to the market, and it saves transportation. In addition,
There is little open space in our village, and the two small workshops only have two or three acres of land."
The most important thing is to mechanize the work, make the site larger, and put dryers inside the site instead of drying in the open air. The labor can be reduced, which is equivalent to forming a small factory and no longer a workshop.
But this was just his short-term thought. The village probably wouldn't sell such a large piece of land. Anyway, let's talk about it first, and there would be room for bargaining at that time.
It's okay to cut it in half. You can expand it if you have the opportunity in the future, so just keep buying.
Or maybe move out Director Chen and talk to him when the time comes, as long as he has someone who knows what happened.
Aguang was silent for a moment and said, "You are thinking quite far ahead."
"This is inevitable. The workshop at home is indeed too small, but we don't have a large area of ​​open space besides the beach. It is a corner of the mountain and the sea."
"Well, then we'll go find the village chief later?"
Chapter completed!
