Chapter 199 Two in One

"Have you told my family back home?" Ding Tao asked.

Dayong should tell Aunt San.

Ding Dayong: "My mother is in the capital taking care of my eldest sister. She passed away before my eldest sister gave birth."

Ding Tao was surprised but not surprised by Third Aunt's behavior. Third Aunt has loved Sister Ding Guo since she was a child. It is not surprising for Third Aunt to go to the capital to take care of such a big event as giving birth.

Ding Zhaodi came back with her sister.

She tugged at Ding Tao's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to tell our mother?"

Ding Tao: "I'll send a telegram tomorrow."

As for the former aunt, Ding Tao would definitely not go over to confirm this matter with her.

The relationship is not that good!

Besides, if Yue Hongmei knew that she had guessed correctly that Ding Guojie would give birth, she would be so proud that she would die.

None of the three siblings mentioned the steel plant’s staff quarters from beginning to end, as if the people there didn’t exist.

Capital, Pei Che's two-day vacation was over, and it was time to return to school.

At four o'clock in the morning, Ding Guo was feeding Dabao with sleepy eyes. Pei Che held Xiaobao and patted her burp. His daughter lay on his shoulder, and her soft hair brushed Pei Che's cheek from time to time. Pei Che sniffed the milk fragrance on Xiaobao's body, and his heart was soft and full of reluctance.

Ding Guo was afraid that he would be too concerned about his family and get distracted during training, so he smiled and told him, "Focus on your studies and training. You will be our support in the future."

Pei Che knew that his wife was comforting him. He walked to the bedside and held Xiao Bao firmly with his big hands to maintain his balance. He bent down slightly, kissed his wife on the forehead, and stood up again. He said softly, "You three are my support."

It's still his motivation.

Xiaobao, who was lying on his shoulder, burped again, then yawned delicately with his little mouth open, and began to become a little impatient.

Ding Guo immediately stopped caring about continuing to cling to this man and said with a smile: "Xiaobao has finished taking pictures, put her down, I want to rub my eyes when I see her."

Pei Che held Xiao Bao horizontally. The little guy yawned again, and his slightly opened eyes closed quickly, completely unable to see the reluctance on his old father's face.

Pei Che was somewhat reluctant to part with the little fellow lying in his arms, so he held him for a while before gently placing him next to Ding Guo.

Dabao was still smacking his food. Pei Che reached out and held his little hand. The little fellow seemed unhappy about being disturbed while eating, and he broke free unceremoniously, his eyes slightly open, and his eyeballs rolled upwards.

Although the newborn baby's vision was blurry, Ding Guo still felt that the boy seemed to have glared at his father accurately.

Ding Guo couldn't help laughing, and Pei Che also smiled and gently patted Dabao on the little butt: "Your sister didn't glare at me, why are you glaring at me?"

Peng Guihua was not in the house at the moment. Her niece's husband was about to return to school, and the couple must have something to talk about, so she simply went out to cook for her niece's husband.

Pei Che said to Ding Guo: "A few aunts will come over in a few days. I have told Aunt Zhang, and I will ask her to come here to help entertain them."

Ding Guo: “Okay!”

After breakfast, Pei Che left with a heart full of reluctance, looking back every few steps.

Aunt Qiao and Wang Chunhua also got up. They had clear division of labor: one washed diapers and the other prepared breakfast for the whole family.

Peng Guihua didn't continue sleeping, but quietly helped the two of them.

After Pei Che left, Ding Guo took advantage of the fact that no one was in the room and the two little kids were fast asleep. She got out of bed, put on her shoes, went into the space to go to the bathroom, came out again, took off her shoes, returned to the bed, and took out the two jade pendants to look at them.

One is green, with a lifelike dragon carved on it; the other is purple, with a vivid phoenix carved on it.

Both jade pendants have very good water content and are particularly warm.

As for the variety, Ding Guo doesn't care. Even if it is top-grade jade, can it be sold in the future?

"Haozi, when will you release a treasure identification function so that I can get two pieces of good jade and I can get a pendant to wear."

It’s really hard to get started if you don’t understand the market situation in this area.

In a couple of years, try to get some foreign exchange coupons and go to the Friendship Store to buy one. There won’t be any fake goods in the Friendship Store.

The mouse naturally ignored the host's remarks, silently turning over the soil and sowing a new wave of seeds.

After putting away the jade pendant, Ding Guo took another nap.

There is no rush to drip blood to recognize the owner. The two little fingers of the kids are so delicate that Ding Guo can't bring himself to prick two needle holes to let the blood.

Moreover, the crying of Dabao and Xiaobao is very regular. They are not real cries every time, but just howling.

If he really gets two injections, it won't just be a howl. Third Aunt and the others will definitely be able to see the clues.

After the confinement period is over, I will find an opportunity to bring the two little guys into the space to bleed them.

After waking up, Third Aunt came in with hot water at just the right temperature. Ding Guo got out of bed, brushed his teeth, wiped his face with a hot towel, and started to eat breakfast.

Aunt San made her a big bowl of stir-fried noodles with two fried eggs, some blanched spinach, and two pieces of pork ribs stewed yesterday on top.

After eating and drinking, Ding Guo strolled around the warm room for a few laps, and was chased by Peng Guihua to go to bed and rest: "Don't take advantage of your good health and don't take care of yourself. If you really get postpartum disease, you will suffer in the future!"

Ding Guo went to bed obediently.

She had a shallow relationship with her relatives in her two lives, and there were few close relatives who cared about her so much, so she enjoyed her third aunt's nagging.

At around nine o'clock, Yu Shaofen, who had taken a day off, came over, bringing a chicken, two pounds of pork belly, and twenty eggs.

Peng Guihua greeted her politely: "Aunt Yu, come if you want, what else do you want to bring?"

Yu Shaofen smiled and said, "Give Guoguo some nourishment."

She washed her hands in the yard before going into the house to see Ding Guo and the child.

Peng Guihua has also lamented the relationship between Yu Shaofen and Ding Guo several times, and even whispered to Ding Guo: "Maybe God made a mistake in the relationship between you two. If you didn't look like your parents, I would have suspected that you and your Aunt Yu were real mother and daughter."

As for the other pair, given how much Yue Hongmei dotes on Ding Nianjun, no one would believe her if she told others that they were not biological mother and daughter.

At first, she thought Yu Shaofen was sulking or doing it on purpose, but after getting to know her, she discovered that Yu Shaofen and Ding Guo really got along well, and her kindness to Ding Guo was genuine.

Ding Guo hadn't expected that his story would develop like this after traveling into the book.

The original owner was unfortunate, but she was lucky.

Since the characters in the book really exist, Ding Guo sincerely hopes that the little kid in the original book has also gone to another world and started a new happy and wonderful life.

At this moment, Yu Shaofen looked at the two little kids lying side by side on the bed and asked with a smile, "You must have been very tired these past two days. Are the two kids easy to take care of?"

Ding Guo smiled and said, "It's just that I don't get enough sleep. I have to get up to feed them every once in a while. But they are easy to take care of. Except when they are hungry or poop or pee, they basically don't make a fuss."

"They are two worry-free ones. They feel sorry for you."

Yu Shaofen also brought over two milk powder tickets. She looked up at Ding Guo's complexion. His face was rosy and he looked very energetic, but she still reminded him, "You are feeding two children, so you have to pay attention to yourself. If you can't feed them, add milk powder. Don't be too tired, or you will hurt your body and it will be difficult to recover."

Ding Guo nodded: "They don't eat much now, so we can feed them. I guess they won't be able to eat enough in a while, so we'll just add milk powder when the time comes."

The family also prepared several milk powder tickets and bought two bags of milk powder, just in case it was used as a substitute.

Ding Guo was not polite about the milk powder coupons Yu Shaofen gave him. It was useless to be polite to Aunt Yu. He smiled and thanked her, but still reminded her: "Aunt Yu, you don't need to change the milk powder coupons. The old man and my eldest sister-in-law have helped to change them. There are enough for the children."

Yu Shaofen: "This is something you need to eat for a long time. Your grandfather can't help you exchange as much as you want. You must not miss it if you come across it."

Ding Guo also knew that milk powder coupons were a scarce commodity, so he had to exchange them with others to get the coupons and other commodities that they wanted.

Aunt Yu didn't want the other tickets she gave her, she just wanted to use them for herself.

Since this happened to her, Aunt Yu had to live frugally.

It is really convenient for her to get milk powder, and she doesn’t even need a ticket.

But this doesn't make sense right now. I can only compensate Aunt Yu in other ways later.

While talking to Yu Shaofen, the old man and Pei Yu came, carrying large and small bags of things. They came to have a simple third-day baby bath ceremony and give the newborn baby their blessings as elders.

It wasn't made too complicated, I just went through the process simply and said a few auspicious words.

I dare not make too much noise for fear of being reported by someone with ulterior motives.

Yu Shaofen had lunch here before leaving.

When the old man came home, he didn't go into the inner room. Aunt Qiao and Peng Guihua brought the child out and let the old man take a look at him.

He chatted with his grandson's wife through the curtain, telling her to take good care of herself, eat and drink as she pleased, and if there was anything she wanted to eat that was not available at home, she should ask Aunt Qiao to go to the compound and let her know, and he would try to find a way to get it for her.

The next day, Sui Baoguo, who heard the news, came over, but did not stay. He just left after dropping off the things he bought and the money for the gift.

Because it was inconvenient to enter the house, he spoke a few words to Ding Guo through the curtain, and asked Peng Guihua to help pass on the red envelope.

A few days later, several aunts from the Shao family came with a few cousins ​​to send rice as a gift, and Aunt Zhang came over to help prepare a table for the feast.

Ding Guo received so many red envelopes that he was overwhelmed.

The two little babies are growing very fast, changing every day. Except for the fact that they just eat and sleep in the beginning, they slowly started to play.

After eating and drinking, he opened his big black eyes and babbled to interact with the adults.

He can laugh and drink Dingguole while drinking milk.

At this time, Ding Guo didn't dare to tease them for fear of choking on milk.

When Aunt San and the others helped change his diapers, he would kick his legs and flutter his feet quickly, giggling.

When he was about to be wrapped up again, he would still resist, but since the resistance was futile, he just accepted his fate.

Pei Yu and his troops were going to perform outside, so they came to see him again before leaving on their business trip. He held Dabao and weighed him, saying, "It is really visibly longer, and the weight has also increased a lot. It is obviously heavier than the past two days."

Ding Guo is very strong, and it is the same whether she is holding a child or not. She cannot notice the change in weight, but she can see the change in the height of the two children, which is indeed different every day.

In a blink of an eye, the baby was one month old. As soon as Ding Guo came out of confinement, she boiled water and took a nice bath.

In fact, our family often boiled mugwort water to wash her, so her body was not that dirty, she just hadn’t washed her hair.

Ding Guo couldn't find a chance to enter the space to take a shower, and had to endure it for a month.

After she finished her confinement, Peng Guihua was also ready to leave.

But he was not in a hurry to leave, because Dayong had to visit this side in the next two days, and he would arrange a car for his mother to go back.

Ding Guo didn't rush to work. She took advantage of her "freedom" to go out for a ride on her bike. When she came back, both handlebars were hung with things.

After that, he went out several more times.

Aunt Qiao and the others didn't stop them.

When I was pregnant, I couldn’t go anywhere and it was not even convenient to go shopping. Now that I’ve finally given birth and finished my confinement, I must go out and have some fun before going to work.

Fortunately, Ding Guo didn't go completely crazy. He would basically come back within two hours every time he went out. Not long after he came home, Dabao and Xiaobao started taking turns to eat.

A few days later, Dayong's truck stopped at the entrance of the alley. He came to visit his nephew and niece, carrying a few net bags in each hand.

Peng Guihua was very happy to see her eldest son: "Oh, the kid's uncle is here."

Ding Dayong grinned. In the past, his sister called him "the child's uncle" just for fun, but now he is truly the child's uncle.

"Where's my sister? Where are the two children?"

Ding Dayong was about to rush into the house when Peng Guihua pulled him back and said, "Stamp your feet in the yard, then wash your hands and face."

Ding Dayong didn't understand why, but he was obedient.

Peng Guihua took out a broom and dusted Ding Dayong off his body. After making sure that her eldest son was clean, she allowed him to go in to see the child. She said, "Your sister is out. She was bored a while ago. Now that she is out of confinement, she goes out several times a day to have fun."

Ding Dayong tiptoed into the room and looked at the two little kids sleeping soundly on the bed. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He reached out and touched them lightly, then retracted his hand and said, "They really look like my sister."

Peng Guihua followed in, smiled and whispered, "The eyes look like your brother-in-law, and the mouth, nose and face look like your sister."

Ding Dayong: "His skin is also like my brother-in-law's."

Today, Dabao and Xiaobao's skin is no longer red, but white and milky. It can be seen that they have inherited Pei Che's cold white skin.

Peng Guihua thought about it, then looked at the two little kids carefully: "That's right, you inherited your brother-in-law's name."

"Is my brother-in-law back?"

Peng Guihua: "Your sister came back for two days after giving birth. The military academy is very strict and it is difficult to ask for leave."

Ding Dayong nodded: "It's already pretty good. At least it's near the capital. I should be able to take leave in a few days."

As the mother and daughter were talking, Ding Guo, who was having fun, came in pushing a car and asked Aunt Qiao in the yard, "Is that car outside driven by Dayong? I calculated that he should be here by now!"

Aunt Qiao smiled and said, "It's him. He just came in a short while ago and is looking after the two children in the house."

Dayong heard the noise and hurried out. Seeing Ding Guo, he was a little surprised: "Sister, why aren't you fat?"

Peng Guihua followed and said, "Feeding two children, it would be strange if she could get fat."

Although the food at home was good and Ding Guo had snacks in addition to the main meals every day, she just didn't gain much weight and her body shape was not much different from before she became pregnant.

There were a lot of things hanging on Ding Guo's handlebars, and two large bags of grain were stacked on the back seat.

Ding Dayong quickly came over to help unload the goods.

Ding Guo smiled and said, "It's good that you're not fat. If you were fat, I'd have to make new clothes."

Ding Dayong found an opportunity to talk to Ding Guo alone: ​​"Sister, I have been running short distances for a while and earned more than 70 yuan for you. I will give you the 70 yuan and I will keep the 200 yuan as capital."

Ding Guo was helpless: "Didn't you say you would take me with you?"

"Earn some money." Dayong said, "Don't worry about it, just let me arrange it."

After paying the bill to Ding Guo, he began to give out belated red envelopes, ten big unity notes to each of his two children, and also brought a red envelope for Ding Tao.

Ding Tao is different from Dayong. Ding Dayong is now wealthy and has a lot of money, so he is generous in giving out red envelopes.

Ding Tao gave ten yuan plus two pieces of cloth and five pounds of eggs. The cloth and eggs were gifts for Huang Meihua.

Ding Zhaodi also gave Ding Guo five dollars.

Ding Guo said, "I'll give Taozi to you, but you don't have to give Zhaodi one. You can take it back later."

Ding Dayong: "Sister, how can you return a gift? Although Zhaodi was not brought to the city by you, if you hadn't transferred the job to Taozi, Zhaodi would have no chance to come to the city. Although she earns little, at least she has started to earn a salary. At worst, she can pay it back when she gets married and has children in the future."

After saying that, he took out a few red envelopes, one for Xiao Hong, Yue Kang, Xiao Ling and Xiao Haifeng.

Ding Guo: ...

It wasn't Ding Dayong who went to inform Xiao Hong and the others.

Xiao Hong had asked Ding Guo about her approximate due date before. She estimated that the day should be about right, so she went to ask Dayong. Only then did she find out that Ding Guo was already in confinement after giving birth.

Knowing that Dayong was going to come to the capital, he sent a stack of red envelopes to him before he left and asked him to take them with him.

The family compound seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and no one asked about it until Ding Dayong came to the capital. Of course, if they really asked, Dayong would block it for his sister, not caring about their contribution money, and not having any contact with them.

Ding Guo said, "When you come back from your business trip, stop here and bring something back for Xiao Hong and Tao Zi."

Ding Dayong guessed that his sister wanted to return the gift: "Okay!"

Ding Guo added: "I see your colleague is in the car. Does he have to stay in the car to watch over the goods?"

Ding Dayong nodded: "He can't leave in the car. I'll bring him food later. We'll leave after lunch."

Ding Dayong is now a master driver who drives on his own, and the person in the car is the escort assigned to him by the unit.

However, he will not pass by his hometown this time, so his mother has to take another car. He will come to pick up his mother around five o'clock tomorrow morning.

Ding Guo went to get some dried fruits, snacks and melon seeds and asked Dayong to deliver them to his colleagues, who ate them in the car to pass the time.

Dayong didn't bother to be polite with his sister and took the things and gave them to her.

After lunch was ready, Ding Dayong filled two lunch boxes and sent them to the car. He watched while the driver went to the toilet, washed his face, and went out again to replace Ding Dayong.

Song Yuling came over to have dinner together and had a brief reunion with her partner.

After dinner, Dayong said goodbye to his family and girlfriend and drove away.

Song Yuling stayed for a while and talked to Peng Guihua before leaving.

Ding Guo was reluctant to see Third Aunt leave, but he also knew that her trip had wasted a lot of time.

In fact, Peng Guihua was reluctant to leave. She couldn't bear to leave the two little ones, but she was also missing the old man and Dazhu and Dalin at home.

Peng Guihua got up at around three o'clock the next morning, took care of Ding Guo, fed him milk, and burped the two little guys. After burping them, she held them in her arms and didn't want to let go.

Aunt Qiao and Wang Chunhua also got up and tiptoed out to make dumplings this morning as they had agreed last night.

Peng Guihua realized that it was inappropriate to kiss the child anymore, so she put the child down and went out to help.

Ding Guo also got dressed and got out of bed to pack the things he would bring to his third aunt later.

She asked Dayong, and she knew that the truck would take Aunt San directly to her doorstep, so she didn't hesitate.

Wheat, millet, various beans, vegetables.

Malted milk, canned food, snacks, pork belly, cloth torn for my third uncle's family, and rubber shoes.

I also prepared return gifts for my second aunt, including canned food, local snacks from the capital, and two pounds of meat, and asked my third aunt to share some vegetables with the second wife when she got home.

As for the huge difference in quantity, Ding Guo didn't mind whether Second Aunt would scold her for it.

Third Aunt left her family and career to take care of her here for such a long time.

The other one was prepared for the driver who came to help. Ding Guo prepared two boxes of cigarettes, two packs of peach cakes, and two cans of fish.

Although Dayong will give a thank-you gift, more gifts are better.

As long as people help take care of Aunt San, there's nothing to worry about if they send you a few more gifts.

Peng Guihua didn't know that Ding Guo had prepared so many things for her, and she was busy in the kitchen with Aunt Qiao.

Aunt Qiao saw that Peng Guihua's eyes were getting red and knew that she was reluctant to leave, so she kept talking to her to distract her.

Ding Guo put the things in order and went into the kitchen to help. Seeing that Third Aunt's eyes were red and her nose was sore, she went over and hugged Peng Guihua's shoulders and said, "Come and stay for a few more days when you are no longer busy. When the two children are older, I will take them back to see grandma and grandpa."

Peng Guihua nodded, patted her arm, and said, "I'll come back after we finish harvesting the wheat."

The two little guys occupied her heart. When she thought that she wouldn't be able to hold the two soft little guys for a long time, she felt empty inside.

Aunt Qiao smiled and said, "As a grandmother, I can't bear to let her go."

"That's right!" Peng Guihua smiled and sniffed. Suddenly she remembered Ding Guo was beside her, and immediately added, "I can't bear to leave my daughter."

Ding Guo rolled his eyes: "Don't explain, I'm already in the back."

Peng Guihua couldn't help laughing: "No, no, you are the big baby, and those two are the little babies."

"Haha!" Aunt Qiao and the others also laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.

Seeing that there were no eggs cooked on the stove, Ding Guo took a dozen eggs, washed them, and boiled them, then asked Aunt San to take them to eat in the car.

Several people worked together and the dumplings were ready soon.

After eating the dumplings, Ding Guo put the remaining food in lunch boxes and filled two lunch boxes. He also took some steamed buns for Aunt San, pickled vegetables fried with chili peppers and shredded pork, some salted duck eggs, and a few boiled eggs. He packed everything and filled the kettle with boiling well water.

Peng Guihua realized that it was brought for her and hurried forward to stop him. Ding Guo said, "Have lunch with the driver and the others."

Peng Guihua didn't stop her.

When they were about to get in the car, Peng Guihua saw Ding Guo carrying things out and realized something was wrong. She exclaimed "Oh my God!" and hurried over to Ding Guo: "What are you doing?"

Ding Guo calmly pushed Auntie San away and said with a smile, "Auntie San, don't tear it apart. If you delay them, your grandson and granddaughter will cry."

"No, Guoguo..." Peng Guihua disagreed. Food was so expensive in the city. "We have food at home!"

Ding Guo: "These foods are delicious. I specially exchanged them with someone."

She was so strong that Peng Guihua couldn't catch up with her even when she was carrying the food. She put the food in the car, handed the gift she prepared for the driver, and said with a smile, "Master, please take care of my aunt." She added, "Wait a little longer, there is more stuff."

"Ding Guo..." Peng Guihua was so angry that she laughed, "You haven't earned a salary for almost two months. Can't you live without buying so many things for me?"

Ding Guo quickly put all the things into the car, and used Pan Zhoudan's moves several times to flexibly avoid Peng Guihua's hand. Before Third Aunt spoke again, he hurriedly said, "Third Aunt, this package is for Second Aunt. When you go back, give Second Aunt some vegetables. You don't need to give her anything else."

Peng Guihua: ...

Ding Guo urged her: "Aunt San, please get in the car quickly. Don't let the driver delay you for too long."

After saying that, he hugged Peng Guihua's waist and carried her directly into the car.

The driver and the escort were already dumbfounded, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Is your family's ancestral strength inherited from ancestors?"

Ding Dayong is also stronger than anyone else on the team.

None of the drivers who had previously arm wrestled could beat Ding Dayong.

Ding Guo smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm pretty strong."

The driver nodded with a smile: "I see!"

She was running while carrying a big bag of grain on her back. She was also carrying the bag with ease. If you didn't know, you would think that the bag weighed only a few pounds.

After that, he said to Peng Guihua: "Your daughter is filial."

But the husband's family suffers a loss, as they favor the daughter of his mother's family so much. He wants one, but if it's a daughter-in-law... forget it.

After she made such a fuss, Peng Guihua didn't feel sad at all. She was amused and angry at the same time: "Your in-laws love you, but you can't be such a spendthrift."

Ding Guo: "It's not considered a waste if you give it to your own family."

Aunt Qiao was also amused by the mother and daughter, and she laughed and said, "Don't push your child if he is filial to you."

If Ding Guo didn't give it sincerely, why would he bother with all this effort? He didn't even let Peng Guihua know in advance.

Since it was given by the child, it was a little too much, but this aunt was not bad. She gave up her work points, did not take care of the man and children in the family, and brought her own food to serve her niece.

Some mothers may not be able to do this with their daughters.

Ding Guo has no mother... This is what Aunt Qiao guessed. She has never asked about Ding Guo's mother's family situation. She only knew that she had taken care of her for such a long time but never heard Ding Guo mention her mother. Ding Guo's biological mother did not show up after the child was born. It was her aunt who came to serve her, and it was her cousin who came yesterday. She secretly guessed that Ding Guo's biological mother might have passed away early.

Now I have an aunt who loves me no worse than my biological mother. I would feel relieved if my biological mother knew about this!
