Even earlier than this, people in the village said that Gao Linlin had changed her personality and no longer flirted with men to go home with her at night. I guess it was at that time that Gao Linlin knew she was pregnant.
If you count carefully, it has been almost ten months since Tian Tian heard about this matter.
That child should be Gao Linlin's.
Tian Tian actually understands Gao Linlin's decision to send the child away.
There aren't many entertainment activities in this rural area. What people usually do is to get together and chat about the gossips of other people. This is one of the few things that can help them relieve their fatigue.
Gao Linlin could naturally keep the child with her, but she was a widow and had a bad reputation in the brigade. She would rather let the child bear the crime of having an unknown father and be laughed at with her.
It would be better to send the child to someone else's home. Although everyone knows that the child is not someone else's biological child, it is better than letting him stay with her.
This was how her life was going to be, with no hope, but she didn't want her child to be as rotten to the core as he was. She also hoped that he could go to school like other people, be literate and understand the truth.
She originally wanted the team leader to adopt the child, but now this goal has not been achieved. The child was taken away by the Huang family. Gao Linlin didn't care. She looked at Zhang Lanru's expression and eyes and knew that Zhang Lanru would treat the child well. Aunt Huang was a well-known good person in the team and would not abuse the child. She felt at ease sending the child to the Huang family.
Gao Linlin didn't dare to look at her any longer, for fear that she would be reluctant to leave the child. She only took two glances, made sure the child was very well behaved in Zhang Lanru's arms, then turned around and left quickly.
Tian Ligang called everyone here today just for the matter of the child. Now that the child has been adopted, he let everyone go.
The Tian family and Zhang Lanru's family are neighbors. Tian Tian followed behind Zhang Lanru and Aunt Huang all the way, watching Old Lady Tian and Aunt Huang chatting as they walked. Zhang Lanru walked beside them carefully, holding the child in her arms, staring at the child closely.
Seeing Zhang Lanru like this, she will definitely treat the child well in the future, so Gao Linlin should be able to rest assured.
When Tian Tian passed by Gu Zhao's shabby little house on her way home, she saw Gu Zhao waving at her in the yard and pretending to write something in the air with a pen.
Tian Tian knew that Gu Zhao was telling her that she had finished all the questions. She nodded slightly at him to show that she understood, and decided to come and get them tomorrow at noon when no one was around.
Not long after they returned home, Zhang Lanru came to their door.
Chen Guihua was very strange. Zhang Lanru had few interactions with them. Before the previous incident, they just greeted each other in their respective courtyards. Usually, it was Aunt Huang who came to borrow something.
"Lanru? What's the matter with you coming here?" Lin Meiyu asked.
Zhang Lanru was a little embarrassed. "Auntie Lin, do you have any millet at home? Can I exchange some with you? I still have some rice at home. I will exchange one kilogram of rice for eight ounces of millet. Is that okay?"
There was not much food for the child at home. When the child came home, he cried with hunger. Zhang Lanru felt very distressed, but she had no milk, so she wanted to exchange some millet to make rice oil. She exchanged eight taels of millet for one kilogram of rice. To be honest, she felt at a loss, but for the sake of the child, she could not care less.
Now rice and millet are the same, both are refined grains.
However, due to the low rice production, most of the rice is supplied to the above areas, so the price of rice is much higher than that of millet.
Zhang Lanru exchanged one kilogram of rice for eight ounces of millet. The Tian family got a good deal. It also shows how much Zhang Lanru values this child.
"I thought it was a big deal. It's just exchanging some food. Why do you want to exchange one pound of rice for eight ounces of millet? We are all neighbors here. Why do we have to make such a fuss? It's just one pound for one pound. We won't take advantage of you!"
After saying this, Old Mrs. Tian took a bunch of keys from her belt and went into the house to get Xiaomi for Zhang Lanru.
Old Mrs. Tian brought enough millet for Zhang Lanru, but when she gave it to Zhang Lanru, Zhang Lanru grabbed two handfuls of millet, so there were about eight ounces of millet left. She handed the one pound of rice to Old Mrs. Tian and went home with the millet.
"Child, why are you so polite?" Old Mrs. Tian said as she looked at the rice in her hand and the millet that Zhang Lanru took out.
"Zhang Lanru and Huang Dasao really love this child! They can even exchange rice for millet. You know, it's not that you can't make rice oil from rice, so just use rice, why do you have to exchange it back and forth?" Chen Guihua said.
"Maybe it's hard to make rice oil!" said Lin Meiyu.
"We don't know whether the child is a boy or a girl, boss! Do you know?" Old Mrs. Tian turned and asked Tian Lisong.
"I don't know either!" Tian Lisong shook his head. He didn't go to see Tian Ligang all morning, so how would he know whether the child was a boy or a girl.
"We still have some small clothes at home, which were worn by Tian Zhuo when he was a child. I don't know if Zhang Lanru would mind if she does. If she doesn't, I'll give the clothes to her." Lin Meiyu muttered to herself and went back to pack the clothes.
When Zhang Lanru gave birth to her child, Lin Meiyu gave all her small clothes to Zhang Lanru.
Later, when Zhang Lanru's child got into trouble, she looked at those clothes and was saddened by the scene, so she sent the clothes and diapers over again. Now she suddenly brought a child back, and she probably had no preparation.
Lin Meiyu sorted out all the small clothes and diapers, packed them up and sent them to Zhang Lanru.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard Zhang Lanru coaxing the child to drink rice oil, saying, "You are also a picky eater. You don't want to drink good rice oil, but insist on drinking millet oil. Now I'm making it for you, please drink a few more sips."
Only then did Lin Meiyu understand why Zhang Lanru wanted to exchange rice for millet. It turned out that the child was picky about food.
"Lanru! Sister Huang! I'm here to bring you something." Lin Meiyu said.
"Sister! Why are you here?" Aunt Huang saw Lin Meiyu coming and jumped down from the kang.
"I see there are still some diapers and small clothes that Tian Zhuo used when he was a child in this house. Chen Guihua and I don't plan to have children. These clothes are just sitting there anyway, and I thought that you just brought a baby home and you probably haven't prepared anything, so I gave these clothes to you. This will also help prevent them from getting infested with bugs in the cupboard." Lin Meiyu put the small bag in her hand on the kang.
She had been feeling unwell after giving birth to Tian Zhuo. She thought that since she already had three children, she didn't plan to have any more, so she went to the hospital to get a family planning product.
As for Chen Guihua, she suffered a lot when she gave birth to Tian Mu, so she no longer had the desire to have children and did not plan to have any.
All of their diapers and small clothes have no use and can only be placed in the cupboard. Every year they have to take them out and dry them in the sun to avoid insects. It would be better to give them to Zhang Lanru and others to use, so that they can have less work to do.
What Aunt Huang and her family really needed right now were diapers and small clothes. When they heard what Lin Meiyu had sent them, they were like timely rain. "Thank you so much. We were just worried about diapers for our child. We were thinking of wringing out a few clothes first, and you sent them to us."
"It's okay! As long as you don't mind!" Lin Meiyu said with a smile, "These diapers and small clothes have been kept in the cupboard, and no one has told me to take them out and wash them. Wash these clothes thoroughly before you use them, and then put them outside to dry in the sun!"
Aunt Huang took the clothes and diapers and hurried downstairs to boil water to wash the clothes. If these diapers could be dried for one more day, her little grandson could use them one day earlier.
Lin Meiyu sat on the kang, watching the baby lying in the small blanket waving his little hands to eat the rice oil from Zhang Lanru's spoon. The more she watched, the more curious she became. She reached out and touched the child's smooth face, "Is this a boy or a girl?"
"It's a little girl! She's very pretty!" Zhang Lanru said as she looked at the child with gentle eyes.
"What a nice little girl! She's considerate, sensible, and knows how to care for her mother!" said Lin Meiyu.
"It's enough for her to grow up safely. I don't ask for anything else." Zhang Lanru has experienced the pain of losing a child. She doesn't have any big requirements for her child now. As long as the child can be safe and happy, it's enough.
She will love this child well and will not let this child live as hard as she did in the first half of her life.
"Did you name her? What was it?"
"This child has my and my mother's surname." Zhang Lanru and Aunt Huang are from the same family, and both have the surname Zhang.
"I found her at the beginning of spring, so her birthday will be the beginning of spring from now on. The swallows all come back at this time, and I want her to be as free as the swallows in the future, so I named her Zhang Yan!"
Zhang Lanru could not recognize many words and had no education, but she had already given her child the best name in her eyes.
"Zhang Yan! That sounds really nice!" Lin Meiyu raised her hand to tease the child, "From now on, you will be called Yan Zi! Yan Zi! Do you like this name?"
Zhang Yan raised her hand and held one of Lin Meiyu's fingers, and she laughed like a swallow, revealing her pink gums.
"She likes this name!" Lin Meiyu also likes it when she sees such a child.
Children sleep a lot, so Lin Meiyu teased Zhang Yan for a while, and Zhang Yan closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Lin Meiyu spoke a few more words to Zhang Lanru and then went home.
Lin Meiyu and the others thought this was a good idea. Zhang Lanru also wanted to have a child, and that child had no parents, so it was good for the two of them to be together.
