Lin Anguo and Lin Anmin squatted in the cowshed for most of the day and finally the last calf in the cow's belly was born.
Cheers immediately broke out from the crowd.
It's a little bull. If they raise it well, their village may not have to look for other bulls for breeding in the future.
Uncle Yuan helped bring a basin of water for Lin Anguo to wash off the dirt on his hands: "Anguo, thanks to you, who would have thought that this cow's stomach would be so strong and pregnant with two babies in one go."
Lin Anguo washed off the mucus and blood on his hands and wiped his face with the sweat towel on his shoulder: "Uncle Yuan, this is all for the team."
Before he could finish his words, a villager suddenly ran over and shouted, "An Guo, your daughter brought back a brother. You are going to have a new son."
The mockery in his words couldn't be more obvious.
Who would have thought that Lin Anguo would do the opposite: "What new son? That's my son. Uncle Yuan, we're leaving first."
Lin Anmin saw the busybody in the crowd shrink his head and walk away with Lin Anguo.
On the way, the two brothers couldn't help chatting.
"Ah Ci's personality is really like what the saying goes... worldly-wise but not worldly-wise."
It is better to be open and aboveboard than to hide. After all, these days few families are willing to use food to raise an unrelated child, and the little boy's background has already been ingrained in the villagers' minds.
Thinking of this, Lin Anmin glanced at his younger brother and couldn't help but say sourly: "Why is there only this one girl in our family?"
Lin Anguo was still silent, but his back straightened a little more.
When they arrived at the door of their house, the two brothers of the Lin family ran into Lin Dejiang and his wife.
"Dad, Mom, you're back too."
Fan Zhu nodded, and after seeing the dirt on her two sons’ knees and the relief on their faces, she said, “It’s all solved.”
"Solved. Two calves were born."
Lin Dejiang was happy because two more calves meant two more laborers.
After entering the yard, the house was completely silent. If they hadn't seen smoke coming out of the chimney, they would have almost thought that what they had heard along the way was an illusion.
Seeing that everyone in the family had returned, Wang Juan quickly put down the spatula and whispered, "Aci fell asleep, and Xiaoxiao also fell asleep on the kang with her. It seems that she was exhausted from this trip to Beijing."
She didn't expect that Ah Ci would fall asleep while talking.
But Xiaoxiao was a really smart kid. When he saw Aci fall asleep, he didn't say a word and went straight into his arms.
Fan Zhu handed the crutch in her hand to Lin Dejiang, and walked in quietly to take a look. The two children were covered with quilts, so they didn't seem to be cold.
"Okay, let them sleep and wake them up later. Juanzi, let's go to that room to cook. You see, the smoke in this room is making you sick. You might get hurt."
Wang Juan carefully put out the fire on the stove, and Lin Anmin and Lin Anguo picked up the remaining ingredients and half-cooked dishes.
"I asked Jiancheng to take a piece of meat to Fang'er's place and ask her to help cook a dish. I guess she will be back soon."
………………
It is now late April and approaching May.
The thin sweater that Fan Zhu specially knitted for Lin Yian was only worn twice after arriving in Kyoto and never again.
Even with his clothes on and a quilt covering him, and a small heater in his arms, Lin Yian was finally woken up by the heat.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of big watery eyes. Lin Yian felt that her heart was about to melt. She hugged Xiao Xiao in her arms and couldn't help but kissed her: "Xiao Xiao, why are you so obedient? You didn't call me sister when you woke up? Huh?"
The sunset outside is about to fade away, and the whole world will fall into darkness.
It looks like I didn’t sleep for long. I wonder if my second brother has come back?
Lin Yian rubbed his eyes and keenly smelled the aroma of food coming from next door. After taking out the bottle and milk powder from the luggage bag, Lin Yian rushed to the next door holding Xiaoxiao.
"Come on, Xiaoxiao, sister will take you to see the fragrant and spicy things."
Next door yard
When Lin Yian was holding Xiaoxiao and walking to the gate of the yard, someone called her.
"Ah Ci!"
Lin Yian looked back and smiled, "Second Grandfather! Second Uncle! Second Mom! Why are you here?"
The family greeted each other and walked into the yard.
Lin Dehai went into the house to find his naughty grandson and give him another lecture. Lin Anqing took the bottle and milk powder from Lin Yian's hand, and brought the dishes into the house.
The weather was at its most comfortable at this time, so no one else was in a hurry to go into the house.
Huo Fang first carefully looked at Lin Yian's complexion. He looked fine, but he had lost some weight. It seemed that the two of them were very tired after bringing a child to Beijing.
"You're still thinner. This is Xiao Xiao."
Lin Yian moved Xiao Xiao towards Huo Fang: "Yes, isn't she very cute? Second Mom, do you want to hug her?"
"Is this child shy?" Huo Fang looked at the cute little baby and tried to reach out her hand.
What was unexpected was that Xiaoxiao actually reached out her hands and let me hug her.
Lin Yi'an shook his wrist unconsciously and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao didn't really follow big brother before, and second brother could only hug him for a while. It seems that he only likes good-looking people, and big brother's appearance doesn't quite match Xiaoxiao's aesthetic taste."
Indeed, Lin Jiancheng's appearance gives people a heroic feeling, while Lin Jianmao's appearance is more like Huo Fang, giving people a kind of handsome feeling like spring breeze.
No matter whether they had walked out of the house or had just come in from the yard, they couldn't help but feel distressed when they saw Lin Yian shaking his hands.
The children were at their most noisy at this time, and Aci and Jianmao were the only ones going to Beijing, and there were so many things to deal with, not to mention that the children didn't spend much time with Jianmao.
"Are you hungry? Ah Ci, would you like to try Second Mom's cooking again this time?"
Who would refuse delicious food?
As for seeing Lin Jianmao being scolded by his second grandfather by grabbing his ears as soon as he entered the door, Lin Yian couldn't help but feel a little gloating, because he was the one who sold her out in front of his eldest brother first.
There were two new calves in the cowshed, and Uncle Yuan took the opportunity to ask Lin Anmin to let a few people in the cowshed stay tomorrow to help him look after the calves. Anyway, the old ones couldn't do much work.
Lin Anmin agreed. It was reasonable to take a break during this period to prepare for the summer harvest, so as to avoid any loss of life.
"Thank you, Lao Yuan."
Uncle Yuan waved his hand: "These are just politeness. We have been neighbors for a long time. Why didn't Xiaoyu come over these few days?"
Speaking of this, Old Xia had watched the grandfather and grandson being stubborn with each other for several days.
Xiaoyu's stubbornness is even worse than her father's. It is her stubbornness that makes Old Man Li more determined to take that girl as his apprentice.
I really don't know who of these two will bow first.
