Ye Zhi has been very nervous ever since she heard that Lu Wei named his children Qiuxiang and Qiuju.

At that time, it would have been better to let the child's great-grandfather and great-grandmother choose the name.

But Lu Wei definitely didn't want to do that. After having daughters, he had already been sharpening his knife, saying that he wanted to give them nice and meaningful names.

After asking a few times, Ye Zhi felt that it would be better to let him take his time to think about it, so as to avoid giving him such a vulgar name.

Because they were going to hold a full-month banquet, Lu Wei had already started preparing and really had no time to think of names for the two children.

There is no rush to get a household registration these days. Some people have not had a household registration for several years and have grown up like this.

So now we have to deal with the full moon banquet first.

The full-month banquets for the two children are scheduled for early November, when the weather on Qiongzhou Island will be more comfortable.

Zhang Xiaomei and Ye Aiguo went to the sea a few days in advance and went fishing every day, intending to pick up more seafood so that the dishes for the full moon banquet could be richer.

Grandpa and Grandma Lu went to prepare some pork and sea duck. Pork was still relatively scarce on the island, but with He Jinfeng around, they still managed to buy a whole pig leg. As for the ducks, Chen Fang helped the locals catch sea ducks in the mangroves, and also picked up a lot of sea duck eggs.

After Chen Fang learned that Ye Zhi had given birth to twin daughters, she gave her a lot of bird's nests and two pearl necklaces for the children.

Chen Fang is now the workshop director and her salary has increased to more than 30 yuan.

Her mother-in-law regretted it so much that she kept asking to go back and live with Chen Fang. Because my brother-in-law's wife is pregnant now, and her mother-in-law has no financial support and stays at home all day instead of going out fishing to earn some money, the new daughter-in-law dislikes her very much and is now clamoring to drive her away.

After Ye Zhi heard what Chen Fang said, she asked, "Do you plan to ask your mother-in-law to come back?"

Ye Zhi felt that Chen Fang's mother-in-law was very partial and it was obvious that she wanted to rely on her brother-in-law for her old age. However, she didn't expect that the young daughter-in-law was so well-behaved when she first came into the family, but in less than a year, they started quarreling.

Chen Fang didn't even think about it and said, "I don't care about her. She and I separated a long time ago. When we separated, she even took away all the pots and pans in the house. How dare she come back now?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi felt relieved, thinking that Chen Fang would not be that confused.

Ye Zhi has no good feelings towards Chen Fang's mother-in-law.

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "You have such a high salary now. You won't have so many troubles in the future. Your life will definitely get better and better."

At this moment, Ye Zhi suddenly understood why Chen Fang was unwilling to remarry.

I have my own money, more than enough to support a child. I don't have to serve my husband and my parents-in-law. It's really great to be free from the trivialities of marriage.

Chen Fang met Ye Zhi's gaze, her expression softened, and she smiled: "If it weren't for you, how could I have such a good life?"

The Yangcheng clothing business that Ye Zhi had helped to arrange is now booming, and the factory director is impressed by her for handling things in Yangcheng well. This director may never be able to get the position for the rest of his life.

Ye Zhi: "This is all your own credit. We are so familiar with each other, so don't flatter each other. By the way, remember to come to the full moon banquet tomorrow."

Chen Fang: "Okay, I will definitely remember. My goddaughter's full moon celebration is coming soon. How could I not remember?"

Chen Fang said that she had no plans to remarry in her lifetime and would definitely not have a daughter in the future, so she adopted the two children as her goddaughters.

Ye Zhi felt that this was a blessing for the child, and Lu Wei had no objection.

The two smiled at each other, but were soon interrupted by Ping Ping An'an's crying.

The day before the full moon banquet, Shen Nanzhen and Lu Xiangqian also came. Because there was not enough room at home, Zhang Xiaomei and Ye Aiguo took Ye Xiaoding to live in Ye Zhenhua's yard.

Ye Zhenhua has completed his studies at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and has now returned to help the army. I heard that they recently held a meeting to build a seafood and fruit processing plant, which will then be sold throughout the country.

Because Ye Zhenhua had made great achievements and thought that Ye Xiaoding would live with him in the future, he applied for a two-bedroom apartment with a small courtyard.

These small courtyards are newly built and not large in area, but they are all independent houses. Although they do not have courtyards, they are not far from Ye Zhi's courtyard.

So even if Ana Shen and the others came, there would be enough room for them to stay.

When Shen Nanzhen knew that Ye Zhi had given birth to twin daughters, she had long wanted to come over, but she just couldn't find the time, so she arranged to come over when the baby was one month old.

As soon as Ana Shen arrived, she changed into clean clothes, then washed her hands carefully before picking up An An.

An An is the younger sister, but she is much more lively than her older sister. She often cries at night, but fortunately, Lu Wei, her good father, does not despise her.

Ye Zhi basically just feeds the baby and changes his diapers every day. As for the rest of the trivial matters, the elders in the family and Lu Wei basically don't have to do anything for her.

As long as Lu Wei is at home, he is the one who sometimes changes diapers.

Lu Wei used to dislike Nian Nian and Sui Sui's diapers, but now he doesn't. Sometimes he even takes the diapers to study them to see if the children's stomachs are healthy...

Ye Zhi was speechless about this.

However, several elders in the family also followed Lu Wei in making trouble, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Ana Shen hugged the child and kissed him again and again, and said with a smile: “Oh my dear granddaughter, how come you are so cute!”

"This little mouth, high nose, and big eyes are really good at growing. I picked the best-looking ones from your parents to grow."

After washing his hands, Lu Xiangqian also picked up Sister Pingping.

However, Lu Xiangqian listened to Ana Shen's words, and then looked at the two little cuties. At this moment, he couldn't tell how the children looked like their parents.

Lu Xiangqian asked, "What do you think? Aren't all these kids the same?"

In the eyes of Comrade Lu Xiangqian, all babies are the same.

Nian Nian and Sui Sui listened to their grandfather's words and immediately felt that they had found an ally.

The child is just over one month old now, and they can’t tell how the child resembles his parents.

Nian Nian and Sui Sui also said, "That's right, the sisters all look the same and are wrinkled. How can they look like mom? We look like mom!"

"Yes! We are like sisters, Pingping and Anan are like dad!"

"Yes, my sister looks like dad, but dad is ugly."

Shen Nanzhen & Lu Xiangqian: "..."

When Pingping and Anan heard this, they didn't know whether they were talking too loudly or if they understood what they meant, but they immediately opened their mouths and started crying.

The crying almost blew the roof off.

Shen Nanzhen held An An in her arms, patted the backs of their hands patiently, and coaxed them: "Be good, your grandfather and brothers are talking nonsense, Pingping and An An don't listen to them. The two little babies look like their mother, both are beautiful."

An An in Ana Shen's arms immediately stopped talking, smacked his lips, and yawned.

Lu Xiangqian: “…”

Seeing this, Ana Shen reached out and pinched Lu Xiangqian's arm again, "It's okay if the child is ignorant, but you are such a grown-up, are you blind? It's obviously the same as Xiaozhi, if you can't see it, don't talk."

Lu Xiangqian felt extremely aggrieved. His child was already crying, and now he was pinched by his own wife and was even despised. He immediately became flustered and more nervous than when he was on the front line.

Moreover, it seems that he is not wrong. Don’t all the newly born babies look similar?

Grandma Lu couldn't stand it anymore, so she quickly took Pingping from Lu Xiangqian's hand and said, "Xiangqian, go help kill the ducks, Nanzhen and I will just look after the child."

When Lu Xiangqian heard what Grandma Lu said, it was like he was giving away a hot potato. When his hands were empty, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his granddaughter was cute, she was too delicate, so he decided to kill the duck and pluck its feathers.

Nian Nian and Sui Sui took Ye Xiaoding to the beach, saying they wanted to blow bubbles for them.

That was brought over by Ana Shen from Yangcheng. Just now, the two little guys blew it a few times in the yard, but Zhang Xiaomei was afraid that the bubble water would get on the food for the full moon banquet, so she didn't let them play.

This was the first time Lu Xiangqian met Zhang Xiaomei and Ye Aiguo.

Lu Xiangqian had already changed out of his military uniform and was wearing a white shirt, which made him look less serious than usual.

However, Zhang Xiaomei and Ye Aiguo knew his identity and were subconsciously a little afraid of him.

Just now Lu Wei told Zhang Xiaomei not to worry about the ingredients, but Zhang Xiaomei would rather be busy than idle, so she followed Ye Aiguo to clean the oysters.

Seeing the expressions of Zhang Xiaomei and Ye Aiguo, Lu Xiangqian felt a little helpless, so he took the initiative to greet them: "My dear relatives, you have worked hard to take care of the children in the past two years, and Xiaozhi has also worked hard to give birth to several children."

Comrade Lu Xiangqian would definitely not have been able to say these words under normal circumstances.

But after looking at Zhang Xiaomei and Ye Aiguo, I don't know why, but I said it naturally.

Zhang Xiaomei immediately smiled and said, "My dear in-law, you are too polite. We are all family. How can we say that we work hard or not? You and your in-laws have contributed to the country and have worked much harder than us."

Lu Wei's parents are one commander and one the head of a hospital. It is indeed much harder for them to take care of the children and do housework at home than to do so at home.

Lu Xiangqian said, "Without you taking good care of the family in the rear, how can we work at the front with peace of mind? Don't underestimate yourselves, Lu Wei can work so peacefully now, all thanks to your efforts."

This sentence made Zhang Xiaomei and Ye Aiguo feel very comfortable.

Several people happily prepared the ingredients for the full moon banquet.

On the day of the full moon banquet, Lu Wei and Ye Zhi were in the room wrapping red envelopes early in the morning, because it was the custom here to give red envelopes to others after dinner.

It doesn’t have to be a big one, just a token of my appreciation, to bring good luck.

After Ye Zhi finished wrapping a bunch of red envelopes, her fingers were also dyed red, and now she looked like she was about to make a handprint.

Ye Zhi asked, "How many people did you call over?"

There are not many people who are good friends with Lu Wei, except Li Weimin, Li Guoliang and Zhang Dazhi. However, He Jinfeng lived next door, so she would definitely invite everyone to her house since they were so nice to her. There was also Li Shufen's family, so she also gave two little skirts to her children, and Ye Zhi also invited their family to her house.

Lu Wei put the red envelope in a big cloth bag and said, "There are also Commander Gao, Division Commander Zhang, and Political Commissar Zhong."

These were all important cadres in the military camp, but because Lu Xiangqian had also come, they said they came to have some fun.

Ye Zhi: "That's quite a lot of people."

There are thirteen people in their family, big and small, so they need to set up ten or eight tables, right?

Fortunately, the weather is good right now, so it’s no problem to set up a few tables outside in the yard.

Lu Wei nodded, looking very proud: "It's better to have more people around, and our daughter will be happy too."

Ye Zhi glanced at him. She didn’t know whether the child was happy or not, but Lu Wei was very happy anyway.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but ask again: "By the way, have you thought of a name for your child?"

Lu Wei had made preparations long ago. Last night, while Ye Zhi and Ping Ping were sleeping soundly, he flipped through several books outside.

Later, when Ana Shen and Grandma Lu saw him, they asked him what was going on, and Lu Wei told them about his idea of ​​a name.

Who knew that when Shen Nanzhen heard the two names given by Lu Wei, her reaction was similar to Ye Zhi's, and she directly said, "It's ugly."

Later, Shen Nanzhen called Lu Xiangqian and Grandpa Lu, and they sat under the light and discussed for half the night.

Now he already had a general idea in mind, and had originally planned to wait until after the full moon banquet to tell Ye Zhi about it.

But since she asked, Lu Wei didn't intend to hide it, and said: "What do you think about naming the two girls Zhiqiu and Zhixia?"

The middle character “知” has the same syllable as “志” in “叶芷”, and also means being knowledgeable.

The word "Autumn" is Lu Wei's obsession because the child was born in autumn.

Later, Shen Nanzhen said that the autumn on Qiongzhou Island was similar to the summer, so she simply named her sister "Xia", which sounded nice.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi repeated what Lu Wei said: "Lu Zhiqiu, Lu Zhixia."

Lu Wei looked at Ye Zhi's expression nervously, only to see her nod and smile: "It sounds nice, much better than Qiu Xiang and Qiu Ju. Is that what you thought?"

Lu Wei: “…”

Really nothing can escape the sharp eyes of my wife.

Lu Wei told the truth: "I thought about it with my parents and grandparents."

Ye Zhi looked at Lu Wei's expression, sat towards him, put her hand on his face, and said, "You've been tired of holding the child to sleep at night this month. If you feel tired next time, tell me."

Because the child is still young and hasn't been able to sleep through the night, I thought my daughter would be more obedient, but in fact, when babies cry, it doesn't matter whether they are boys or girls.

Lu Wei has dark circles under his eyes from working so hard.

Lu Wei put his hand on the back of Ye Zhi's hand and said with a playful smile: "It's not hard. No matter how hard it is, it's not as hard as you." Then he put his arm around Ye Zhi's waist and kissed her.

The two of them hadn't been intimate for a long time. Before, Ye Zhi was pregnant, so he restrained himself.

At this moment, she had already unloaded. When Lu Weiyi touched her, the blood in his body couldn't help but boil. The arms around her waist tightened a little and pressed her directly onto the bed.

It was not until Ye Zhi felt the collar of her clothes being torn open that she hit Lu Wei.

But the next second, Lu Wei grabbed his hands and raised them above his head.

Ye Zhi suddenly felt extremely ashamed, but she was not as strong as Lu Wei, so she could only be clamped tightly without any chance to resist.

It was not until the girl started crying on the other side of the crib that Lu Wei finally let her go, but he was still breathing next to her ear.

Lu Wei's hoarse voice sounded in her ears, saying: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you for the time being."

The word "temporarily" is used cleverly. It seems I will be able to do it in the future.

Ye Zhi pulled the quilt over her upper body and said, "Bring our daughter here and see if she's hungry."

Lu Wei pecked Ye Zhi on the lips again, quickly stood up, walked to the crib, picked up the child and went back to Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi's breath hadn't been adjusted yet, so she said with her head down: "Check to see if you have peed first."

"good."

Lu Wei patiently coaxed the child, and changed An An's diaper again. After tidying up, he carried the child to Ye Zhi's side: "Feed them, or someone will come soon."

There will definitely be a lot of people on the day of the full moon banquet, and Ye Zhi probably won’t have time to rest today.

Ye Zhi held the child in her arms. After An An had stopped crying, her big black eyes looked even brighter. Now she looked at Ye Zhi without crying or making a fuss, which made her unable to help but kiss the little cutie on the face twice.

It's really so cute, the kind that makes you want to kiss it as soon as you see it!

Lu Wei also felt like kissing her, so he grabbed An An's little feet and kissed them twice, then said, "Ping Ping hasn't woken up yet, I'll go see if there's anything I can help with outside."

Ye Zhi nodded: "Well, go ahead."

The day of the full moon banquet was very lively, and several elders in Lu Wei's family laughed the whole time.

Their family finally had a daughter, and Pingping and Anan suddenly became the apple of their eye. Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu even said that they would give them the two courtyard houses in Beijing when the time comes.

But Ye Zhi refused.

The child is so young, how can he accept such a big gift?

Today we are mainly just having a meal and having fun.

Before the full moon banquet started, Ye Zhi fed Ping Ping and An An first, then Lu Wei came in with a camera and asked Li Weimin to help take a family photo.

Fortunately, Lu Wei helped her wash her hair the night before, and Ye Zhi is still as fair and rosy as before.

However, in order to look better, Ye Zhi changed into a red dress to appear more energetic.

Many relatives and friends have already come to the yard, and are waiting for Ye Zhi and the two children to come out.

When Nian Nian and Sui Sui saw Ye Zhi coming out with the child, they said, "Come quickly, Mom. Uncle Li said he wants to take a picture of us and my sister."

Sui Sui also pulled Ye Zhi's skirt, "Mom, grandma has helped me change my clothes. Do you think I look handsome?"

Ye Zhi held Ping Ping in one hand and stretched out the other hand to help Sui Sui fix his collar, saying, "You look much more handsome this way!"

The older Nian Nian and Sui Sui get, the more they look like Lu Wei. They look handsome now. Moreover, they are not as tanned as other children, and their facial features are delicate. They are recognized as handsome boys in the family compound.

Lele from Li Weimin's family likes them very much.

Even Tingting from Huang Qiucan's family had said before that she wanted to be Niannian's wife, which made the adults couldn't help laughing.

Lu Wei followed behind with An An in his arms, and then he pulled Nian Nian to the yard and said, "Go to your great grandfather and great grandmother quickly, and let them hold you."

When Nian Nian and Sui Sui heard this, they hurried over.

Zhang Xiaomei and Ye Aiguo didn’t really want to go over, but they were willing to go over only after Ana Shen and Grandma Lu pulled them directly.

Grandma Lu said: "We are all a family, and Xiaomei and Aiguo are the heroes. Without you, this photo can't be called a family photo."

Ye Zhi also held Zhang Xiaomei's hand and said, "Mom, we are all family. I have you as a mother and my children have you as a grandmother. It is our blessing."

Many people treat their married daughters as spilled water, but Zhang Xiaomei has been away from home for several years and has been taking care of them here for so long. Ye Zhi can never repay this kindness no matter what she does.

Zhang Xiaomei felt embarrassed and pinched Ye Zhi's cheek: "It's a great day, don't say such things, just let my mother take the photo, and she will do it."

Shen Nanzhen took Zhang Xiaomei's arm and said, "Come on, come on, we're waiting for you and your father-in-law."

Ye Zhi and Lu Wei held Ping Ping and An An, while Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu held Nian Nian and Sui Sui. As Li Weimin counted 3, 2, 1, they took their first family photo.

After taking dozens of photos, the banquet began.

Everyone looked at this big family, including two pairs of twins, and showed envious expressions.

Two pairs of twins are rare enough, and their son and daughter are so beautiful!

They took all the good things!

Even a group of military comrades couldn't help but want to take advantage of this blessing!

On that day, everyone sat together for a rare occasion and drank a lot of wine. In the end, both the host and the guests had a great time.

After the full moon banquet, the new year soon arrived. Because of a major event in the capital last year, the atmosphere across the country has begun to brighten up.

On the first day of 1977, the military camps were fully electrified, and there were no restrictions on the hours during which electricity could be used in the family quarters.

But you have to charge a reasonable amount of electricity.

Ye Zhi felt that this was completely acceptable. With electricity, she could concentrate on studying for the college entrance examination.

After hearing the news about unlimited electricity use, Lu Wei kissed his two daughters and said, "Look, as soon as you arrived, the family compound has good news. You are really your father's lucky stars."

Another thing is that Lu Wei won a first-class merit after his child's full-month banquet. It is estimated that he will be promoted again soon.

Ye Zhi didn't have any particular expectation for how high Lu Wei could be promoted. She just wanted to study hard now, and when the college entrance examination was resumed, she would give it her all!

Before the news spread, Ye Zhi had asked Shen Nanzhen to buy a lot of books for her in Yangcheng and send them over.

Ye Zhi had been reviewing in the past two years, but the situation was not as urgent as it is now.

Now that it was 1977, she became nervous.

Fortunately, there is no restriction on electricity use in the staff housing estate, so Ye Zhi has a lot more time to read.

Lu Wei also bought a few electric fans, so it’s not so hot now that summer is here.
