When Yu Xiangan took these things back, he and Ye Qijiajia walked with a somewhat stiff posture.
Ye Qijia couldn't help it, "Xiao An, don't be nervous, I'm fine, I'm fine, it's not too late now, don't be too nervous."
Seeing her like this, I couldn't get nervous anymore.
Yu Xiangan took a deep breath, and her body looked less stiff. "Sister-in-law, you are pregnant with twins. I don't know if it will be a nephew or a niece, but no matter whether it is a nephew or a niece, it is good. I was still young when Mingjie was born. Now that they are born, I, as an aunt, have received a salary. I will make new clothes for them..."
While he was talking, Yu Xiangan was thinking wildly in his brain. The two children need to absorb more nutrients, so they need to eat better in the future. As for not eating too well, it is actually a bit difficult under the current situation. It's not like they can eat meat and fish every day. Ye Qijia still has to go to work and walk around. It's a bit difficult to make the fetus too big.
When they went back and told Yu Qingshan the news, he was stunned for a moment and showed no joy.
His mother died because she was pregnant with twins. This might be a happy event for ordinary people, but not for him.
If she hadn't been pregnant with twins, she wouldn't have given birth to the children with great difficulty and then died after lying in the hospital for a month. At that time, the eldest son had not yet started a family, and now, in the blink of an eye, his wife was also pregnant with twins. It was hard for him not to think of the past.
He was silent for a long time, listening to Xiao An giving medical advice. He thought, if he had been aware of this at that time and taken it more seriously, perhaps the outcome would not be like this.
Yu Xianghai also took it very seriously. He was very satisfied with the booklet they brought back. He took it out, read it carefully page by page, and asked when the next inspection would be.
He must go then.
He also pulled Yu Mingjie out and had a serious conversation with him in a mysterious manner. He explained the current situation at home to him, saying that his mother was pregnant with two younger siblings and was having a hard time. He was the eldest brother and should be more sensible in the future, help his mother with things, be considerate of her, not make her angry, and keep her in a good mood.
Yu Mingjie was already very excited about the fact that he would have a younger brother or sister. When he heard that there would be two of them, he puffed up his chest with pride and said, "I'm the eldest brother. I will take good care of them. I will be obedient and not make mom angry!"
Yu Xianghai nodded with a smile: "You also have to study hard and be like your Aunt Xiaoan, okay?"
My sister was able to get this job now, and academic qualifications were a prerequisite. She is about to be promoted again. She has only been in the company for a short time, so it cannot be said that it was not influenced by her article in the newspaper.
If he was like his aunt, his future would be easier.
Therefore, they were all happy to see Yu Xiangan assigning them tasks in various ways.
When talking about this, Yu Mingjie frowned.
There are very few people who love learning.
Especially children.
Yu Mingjie didn't agree right away, frowning and "thinking deeply". Yu Xianghai didn't bother him and let him think for a while before he saw Yu Mingjie nod with a heavy tone: "Dad, I will study hard. If my younger brothers and sisters don't ask me in the future, I won't know how to do it either. I'm the eldest brother."
Yu Xianghai suppressed his laughter and patted his still tender shoulders with satisfaction: "Be like a big brother, work hard!"
When the two of them re-entered the room, their faces were full of smiles. Yu Qingshan had come to his senses at this point, "Go see a doctor more often, don't be afraid of the cost."
Zhao Qiaoniang was in a very complicated mood and couldn't help but touch her belly. If possible, she would like to have another child, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl.
It’s a pity that she was injured and will never have another child in this life.
Now Ye Qijiajia is carrying two babies in her belly at once. This comparison really makes her feel sad.
If Yu Xianghai was her own son, she would not think about having another one at her age. She would just wait patiently for her grandchildren to be born.
Now she is nice to Yu Xiangju and Yu Xiangju is very close to her, but he is still young, and even if he knows that she is his stepmother, he will not think too much about it. But if he grows up and gets married in the future, it is hard to say how much status she, as his stepmother, will still have.
After all, there is no blood relationship.
This is her fate.
In this life, the relationship with biological children is weak.
After Yao Cuifen learned the news, she came over with some food, and secretly took Yu Xianghai out and gave him some advice.
Giving birth to two children at once is too dangerous for a woman.
She had never given birth to twins in her life, but her sister had given birth to twins, and her ancestors also had a tradition of giving birth to twins, so the chance of something going wrong was much higher than usual.
It cannot be ignored.
Now their family conditions are decent and they have enough to take it seriously.
Don't wait until something unexpected happens to regret it.
Yu Xianghai nodded repeatedly: "It's all thanks to grandma's reminder, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of this aspect."
Nowadays, if a woman is pregnant, she will not go to the hospital for check-up unless there is a problem. If the family is not well-off, she will not go to the hospital to give birth.
If they don't find out until the time of delivery, it will be very dangerous.
We also had to tell the people back home about this, and we picked a day and went back to the Red Star Brigade together.
Seeing so many people coming back, Zhang Chahua was so happy that she shouted that today was a good day and asked for more dishes.
When Yu Xianghai told this, Zhang Chahua immediately said, "You have to pay more attention to that. Xianghai's wife, are you tired? If you are tired, go to your room and lie down. I'll make you a bowl of brown sugar water. Drink it while it's hot."
Yu often wondered, who should take care of his grandson's wife now that she is getting older?
Should we ask people to stay by her side as much as possible?
Let Zhao Qiaoniang take care of the eldest daughter-in-law?
It's not very suitable. She also has a job, and when she is not working, Yu Xianghai often goes home.
Her biological mother? No way. As far as he knew, her biological mother was not in good health and would not be able to take care of him.
In this case, Manchang's wife Xiaojuan is quite suitable. She doesn't have a job, and it won't take up too many work points to take care of her for a while when she is pregnant. If the couple are both in the county, they can cultivate their relationship. If all goes well, she can also take the opportunity to get pregnant.
He kept this in mind and thought about talking to Yu Qingshan about it to see if it was appropriate. It was a bit early to talk about it now, as Xiang Hai's wife was not pregnant yet, so there was no need to rush.
Yang Huili couldn't help but looked at Xu Xiaojuan again and again. She had already had a grandson, but no grandchildren yet. Her second uncle's eldest grandson was already 5 years old, and now two more were coming, making it three soon. Her daughter-in-law had been married for a while, but they were rarely together and there was still no good news. When would she be able to have a grandson?
Yu Manchang noticed her look and couldn't help but take another look at his wife.
He also wanted a child as lively and sensible as Mingjie, but they had only been married for a short time and he was often in the county town. Even if he wanted one now, there was nothing he could do. It all depended on fate.
Zhang Chahua brought out some sugar water and handed it to Ye Qijiajia: "Here, drink this. You should eat more fish when you are pregnant. Eating fish will make your child smarter. It just so happens that Mansheng and his brothers caught a few half-grown fish a few days ago. Let's drink fish soup today."
Ye Qijia took it with a smile: "Thank you, grandma."
Yu Qingshan was talking to Yu Changyou: "Dad, how is your health now? Are you still feeling unwell? If so, please tell me, don't hide it."
Yu Changyou: "I'm not hiding it. I'm not feeling unwell. I'm doing fine. I'm not doing any heavy work right now. I just go to the threshing floor and chase away sparrows. The sun is too strong, so I won't go out."
If he fell ill again, the few work points he earned would not even cover a fraction of the medical expenses, so he had to rest at home most of the time.
Zhang Changhua responded from the side, "Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on him."
The old man's previous illness had frightened her to death.
She didn't want him to be gone and leave her alone.
Yu Changyou coughed twice and changed the subject: "Manchang, how are you doing with your craft now?"
Yu Manchang knew that his grandfather didn't want to listen to his grandmother's nagging, so he tactfully continued: "I have learned almost everything. I should be able to master it thoroughly before I leave. Then I will come back to make bricks myself, and then we can expand our house and make it more spacious."
Now they don’t have enough houses, and their two younger brothers haven’t found a house to live in when they get married.
If he masters the method of making bricks, he won't have to buy bricks when he comes back, he can make them himself. Then he can apply for wood and tiles and build a beautiful brick house, which will be decent and inexpensive.
When talking about this, Yu Changyou was happy, "Yes, when the time comes, we will build a house. You have to study hard, otherwise the house will not be solid..."
They were talking about serious matters there. Yu Xiangan, Yu Mingjie and Yu Xiangju couldn't stay any longer and went out wearing straw hats.
Yang Huili couldn't stay too long either. If she was away for too long, she wouldn't get full work points today.
Her life is not any easier than her mother-in-law's.
Yu Xiangan found out where Yu Mansheng and his brothers worked, went to find them, and asked these two local bosses if there was anything worth visiting on the mountain.
At this season, maybe you can encounter unexpected surprises if you go up the mountain.
When they arrived at the field, the two brothers Yu Manwu and Yu Mansheng were plowing the soil on a piece of dry land.
They are now reclaiming land.
Reclaiming wasteland is hard work. You have to clear the trees and thick weeds, pick out the stones and the like, and then burn the wood ash. Only then can the land be considered initially reclaimed. For wasteland like this, the first crop is usually beans, either soybeans or mung beans. After growing beans for a year or two, other crops can be planted.
Yu Shunwen plans to use these newly reclaimed wastelands to plant fruit trees, and he has also decided on the variety, oranges. During the Chinese New Year, those who have the conditions should put a few oranges on display. Putting two as gifts is also a good omen. Oranges, oranges, auspicious, great luck.
This kind of fruit can be preserved for a relatively long time, and it is also suitable for cultivation here.
There are people in the commune next door who specialize in growing this. Some people here grow some for their own consumption, but the scale is not large. This time he plans to grow it on a large scale. If the harvest is good, he will sell it to the purchasing station or contact the factory. If not, he will share it among the team members, and they can also have one or two plates of fruit during the New Year.
If all else fails, they haven’t paid anything, just put in some effort.
We can open up the land now and grow crops, but it will take some time before the area becomes the fruit tree center.
The cost of buying fruit seedlings is too high, and it is difficult to expand on a large scale if he does it on a small scale. He chooses to hire someone to help him grow the seedlings, starting from seeds, which saves him a lot of money.
After hearing Yu Manwu's story about his uncle's plan, Yu Xiangle felt from the bottom of his heart that it was feasible.
If not, just eat it yourself. There are people growing it here, so the final result shouldn't be too bad.
The people who were clearing the land here looked relatively young. There were two girls wearing hats cutting grass, and a few young men chopping trees with axes.
This group is the vanguard.
In the eyes of these people, two girls stood out. Needless to say, they had fair skin on their faces, slender fingers, and their clothes were better than those of the villagers whose clothes were patched up.
Considering that there would be educated young people from the city going to the countryside, we can guess their identities.
They saw the two Yu Manyu brothers talking happily to the visitor and looked over curiously.
One of them asked the person next to him: "Do you know them? They look unfamiliar to me. Are they from the production team?"
"That girl is their cousin, from the county town. She moved out of the team a long time ago and doesn't come back often, so you haven't seen her. Those two children are her brothers or nephews."
“Is she still a worker?”
Seeing the factory uniform on Yu Xiangan, he asked enviously.
"Yes, she works in the food factory, the one that produces a lot of canned food. They also produce biscuits and a lot of delicious food." He once tasted a piece of canned fruit that Yu Manyu gave him, and it was so sweet that it touched his heart.
It has been so long, but when he thinks back now, he still remembers how sweet it was.
Another female educated youth stepped forward and said hello, "Hello, we have met before. Do you remember me?"
Yu Xiangan looked over, searched his mind for a long time, and shook his head hesitantly, "Have we met before? Sorry."
The girl, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen, smiled meaningfully and said, "We didn't talk at the time, so it's normal that you don't remember anything. I was weeding with your grandmother at the time, and you came to see her, so we met."
Yu Xiangan understood at this time, and stretched out his hand generously: "Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Yu Xiangan."
"Hello, my name is Ruan Chenxi, and I'm an educated youth who came here last year." She also stretched out her hand, feeling lucky that she had just wiped her hands secretly, otherwise it would have been funny to have a hand full of mud and grass clippings when she stretched out her hand to shake hands.
"I heard that you are an employee of the food factory. Is it your day off today?"
Yu Xiangan didn't know why she took the initiative to talk to him, so he replied, "Yes, today is a day off, and the family came back to see grandpa and the others."
"When will you be back?"
"I'll be back in the afternoon. I have to work tomorrow."
"Then do you want to touch the crabs? I found a place a few days ago where there were a lot of crabs, but they were not very big, only the size of a baby's fist."
When Yu Xiangju and Yu Mingjie heard about crabs, their eyes lit up. Crabs are not tasty if they are small, but they can be played with.
Yu Manwu nodded: "It's fun to touch crabs, do you want to go?" You can also see if there are clams, small fish, shrimps and the like.
Ruan Chenxi laughed: "Then I'll take you there?"
"Are you available?"
Ruan Chenxi pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay, I'll be back in a while. I have to go to lunch soon, so I can go there again. I went there by accident, and I don't even know what the place is called."
Yu Xiangan understood, did he want to make friends with her?
Yu Xiangan thought of this and smiled: "Then I'll trouble you. If you have a good harvest today, we can share it together."
This made everyone laugh.
Only children would be more interested in this kind of crab, while adults wouldn't even give it a second glance.
No meat, but still fierce.
Yu Manwu gestured to the rest of the people: "Let's go away for a while. If anyone comes to check, just say we went to the bathroom."
A group of teenagers laughed and said, "I don't need you to tell me, I understand."
Ruan Chenxi led them around and around until they came to a stream.
"I found it here last time. I moved the stones away. There were quite a lot of them."
She was also startled.
Yu Mingjie couldn't wait to move the stones nearby.
Yu Xiangan saw that the water was not deep, so he did not stop it.
Who didn’t find things when they were a kid?
Yu Xiangan started talking to Ruan Chenxi on the side.
Yu Manwu and Yu Mansheng were young boys after all, so they went into the water together. If they caught any crabs, they would shout and put them into their straw hats, and then cover them with another straw hat to prevent the crabs from running out.
Ruan Chenxi was from Shanghai and had seen the world. She took the initiative to talk to Yu Xiangan about it. She also admired Yu Xiangan's knowledge.
Although she said she had never been to a big city like Shanghai, she knew a lot about it.
Originally, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation, but as the conversation went on, Ruan Chenxi really felt that he could get along with her.
They are about the same age, Ruan Chenxi is less than a year younger than Yu Xiangan.
The two of them also agreed to chat with her next time Yu Xiangan came.
When Ruan Chenxi returned, she was surrounded by people: "What did you say to her?"
"Is she easy to get along with?"
"Have you become friends?"
There were also those who couldn't stand her actively sticking to them and refused to do their work.
"She's just a small clerk in a county town. What can she do? Do you want to use her connections to go back to the city? You're just dreaming."
"You're not afraid of being laughed at by others. The reputation of educated youth is so worthless."
Ruan Chenxi had thought about this scenario when he took that step. His heart was a little painful, but he could still bear it. He ignored those who said sour words and said, "If you can't eat the grapes, you say they are sour."
Then he turned and left.
It would be a lie to say that they didn't want to have a good relationship with Yu Xiangan and the others. Even if she couldn't help them return to the city, she was a local here, the team leader was her uncle, and she herself worked in a food factory. If they could make friends with them, it would be of great benefit to their lives here.
They didn't dare to take this step, but ran up to her and said all these nonsense.
When Yu Xiangan and her group returned, except for her, the pants of the other four people were half wet.
The harvest was quite a lot, about two kilograms of green crabs and half a kilogram of small fish.
It's time to cook a meal.
Crabs are cold in nature, so they were not willing to eat them. There was only a little bit of meat, and it was fishy. Yang Huili said, "Why did you get so many crabs? Pregnant women can't eat them. If you want to eat them, take them back."
Yu Xiangan: "Okay!"
Ye Qijiajia is not fit to eat. Since they dislike it so much, she should just take it back.
I returned with the same large and small bags. Just as I put down the things, I saw someone knocking on the door outside.
Yu Xiangju went to open the door, then came back and shouted to Yu Xiangan, "Fifth sister, I'm looking for you."
Yu Xiangan had just put the crabs away and walked out, asking casually, "Who is it?"
Yu Xiangju shook his head: "A sister I don't know."
The person who was looking for her was Gao Yimei.
She was beaming with joy: "Xiao An, I heard you were looking for a doctor, right? What a coincidence, I just heard someone mention a doctor who used to be the director of the city hospital. He retired and returned to his hometown. He happened to be from Baishi County. He is quite knowledgeable about women's diseases."
Yu Xiangan didn't expect to get a reply so soon, and was surprised: "It's true, do you know his address and name?"
"I asked someone. Here's the address. It's said that the man's surname is Lin, Doctor Lin. We have to go quietly. The doctor has retired, so we can't make a big fuss. My period isn't very smooth. I went to the county hospital before but it didn't work. I just want to find someone else to take a look. When are you free? Let's go over there."
Yu Xiangan wanted to check out the location first, and then he said a time: "Then let's go after get off work tomorrow?"
"Okay, then tomorrow!"
