Yu Xiangan said a lot. Normally, she tried to control herself from thinking too much about the people and events in the past, but on this birthday, her emotions needed an outlet.
She wanted to talk to someone about her family back then.
She didn't need any comments from others, she just needed a silent listener. After thinking about it, she decided that he was the most suitable person. He knew what she was talking about, didn't treat her as a lunatic or a fool, and could understand her emotions.
She didn't say that she had a harmonious relationship with her family, but it was reflected in her words.
If this were the case, I would probably feel panicky if I suddenly came into this world.
Under such circumstances, she was able to adapt to life here so quickly. Lin Chuanbai thought she was quite amazing.
He is different, he has no worries.
Yu Xiangan didn't know how long she had been talking, and the two of them finished all the meals, milk tea and cakes she had made.
Lin Chuanbai listened to her for a long time without saying anything, as if she had finished speaking. He did not express any opinion and started talking about himself.
He doesn't have many relatives in this world. The only one is an old Taoist priest who adopted him and sent him to school.
The old Taoist priest was a bit mysterious and knew a little bit about everything. People always asked him to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits, and he could even treat minor illnesses. With this income, he was able to go to college. However, he died of a sudden illness less than a year after he started college.
Then he devoted all his heart to school and studied hard. After studying, he would also reward himself. His way of rewarding himself was to eat delicious food. He talked about his experience of finding food around the school.
"I really like the spicy hot pot restaurant at the corner of the snack street. Every time I go there, I order a few dozen yuan. The beef balls are very chewy and the soup base is very tasty. I am also a regular customer of the bakery next to it. I often buy bread and cakes there for breakfast."
"There is a mobile vendor at the South Gate selling Shaanxi Liangpi noodles. He doesn't come every day, but whenever he does, there will be a long queue."
"...I just went to a newly opened restaurant before coming here. The special five-color meatballs there were amazing. I'm thinking of going there again for the second time."
Yu Xiangan had now become a listener, but as she listened, she was surprised. After he finished speaking, she asked, "Are you from X University?"
Lin Chuanbai: “??!!”
They are actually alumni!
Moreover, the five-color meatballs he ate before coming here were the specialty dishes in her private restaurant, which means that he had eaten the dishes she cooked before coming here.
What kind of fate is this?!
The two of them sat in silence for a long time, and then suddenly laughed out loud.
“Hahahahahaha.”
"Ha ha ha ha."
The two of them suddenly laughed like fools.
After that, they seemed to be the same as before, just a simple relationship of cooking and ordering food, but they both knew that something was different. They would occasionally complain to each other when they encountered problems, and the two of them got along well and became friends.
Yu Xiangan knew that Lin Chuanbai was fine when he didn't complain, but when he started complaining, he would talk nonstop.
"I know what my second aunt is thinking, but what does it have to do with me? My cousin just doesn't like studying medicine. He gets a headache when he sees it. He doesn't like it, and she can't do anything about it. Seeing that I got the job smoothly, she has been looking down on me. I am innocent. Although it's not a big problem, the words she said and the small actions she made are annoying."
"If the county hospital had single dormitories, I would have moved out a long time ago. If there are subscription housing like your factory, I would buy one and live alone."
"My grandfather doesn't like it either, but as a father-in-law, he always criticizes her. My grandmother passed away very early, and my second uncle is a taciturn person. He doesn't say a word all day. My second aunt makes all the decisions about the big and small things in the family, and he has no say."
"Fortunately, my cousin is not like her and can tell the difference clearly, otherwise, I would have a double headache."
"My second aunt is just worried. If she doesn't get it in her hands, she's afraid it's fake. My grandfather has already said something to him. She says good things, but she's still jealous when she sees me working. She probably won't be really relieved until my cousin gets a job. But if his job is not as good as mine by then, I guess she won't stop either. Thinking about it this way, it's better to move out."
"It's great to have your own house. Nowadays, people generally don't pay much attention to other people's privacy. It's really great to have your own private space."
Yu Xiangan would also tell her about things he encountered in life. "The day before yesterday, I went out with Deputy Director Wang, and we happened to see someone from the other factory making trouble. She said that her boyfriend was injured while working in the factory and wanted the factory to be responsible. She also grabbed the two of us to judge. We knew nothing, so what could we judge? She kept throwing a tantrum. She really threw a tantrum." Yu Xiangan expressed surprise. "This is the first time I have seen the real version of the legendary first throwing a tantrum, then making a tantrum, and then hanging herself. She really got a rope and was going to hang herself."
She was truly breathtaking to watch.
"Things have taken a turn for the worse. After further investigation, it was discovered that her partner made the mistake first and neglected his duties, causing considerable losses. She had not mentioned a single word about this before..."
Their relationship deepened, and they would be more considerate of each other's requests. Yu Xiangan was now more attentive when cooking for Lin Chuanbai, because he was indeed her guest, both before and now.
Lin Chuanbai was very satisfied with the meal. He also met Yu Xiangan's needs, gave her some ginseng, and paid more attention to her sister-in-law.
Their friendship progressed by leaps and bounds, and Yu Qingbao's progress did not fall behind. Yu Qingshan taught him at home. When Yu Qingshan was at work, he studied alone. When Yu Qingshan came back, the two brothers studied together.
With Yu Qingshan's generous teaching, Yu Qingbao learned it quickly. He returned to the Red Star Brigade and gathered people to start making paper. The father and son occupied two places respectively, and their family's reputation rose rapidly in a short time.
The first batch of people who exchanged work points for bricks have now built their houses. The finished products are here. But they can't exchange the paper for their work points. The team leader said that this paper needs to be sold and the money will be divided up in due time.
Everyone was looking forward to it. It would be good to share the money. Money could buy many things, and straw paper was not a necessity for them.
Of course money is better.
After a batch of finished products are produced, Yu Shengwen will lead his people to sell them.
They have been approved.
The first batch included the county supply and marketing cooperative that Ye Qijia helped to connect with.
With a good start, Yu Shunwen became more confident. Of course, Ye Qijiajia contributed to the smooth progress this time. But if their paper was not good enough, the other party would not have agreed so readily without any bargaining.
Then he made a concerted effort.
The price of purchasing from them is lower than the original channels, so when there are no additional conflicts of interest, people will naturally use their straw paper.
In order to gain everyone's support and upgrade the small workshop into a factory more quickly, Yu Shunwen took out part of the money and distributed it to everyone a month later.
Also calculated in centimeters, whoever has more work points will get more money, and whoever has fewer work points will get less money.
This completely mobilized everyone's enthusiasm. The work points earned by working hard can not only be used to distribute food and exchange for bricks to build houses, but can also be turned into money. What reason do they have to be lazy?
The money they got this time is little, but don’t you think about how long it has only been started? There are profits so soon. What if it takes a year? How much money will they receive?
These days are becoming more and more promising.
Things were developing in the direction that Yu Shunwen hoped to see.
Yu Qingshan was also very satisfied with the progress.
If all goes well, the second son and fourth daughter will be back soon.
Of the two of them, you should call your daughter back first.
My daughter needs more attention because she is alone in another place, but my son has his wife and brother-in-law with him, so I don't need to worry too much for now.
Ye Qijiajia had also entered the labor period at this time. Twins are usually born prematurely and require extra attention.
As Ye Qijiajia was getting older, she moved into the old Yu family home. Since Zhao Qiaoniang failed to find a temporary worker this year, she helped take care of the baby.
It was the most honorable time to be promoted to a labor position, but her situation was special. She was pregnant with twins, so her superiors specially approved her to take an early leave.
This is also something that Yu Xiangan strongly disagrees with. At this time, everyone is encouraged to make contributions. Previously, there was an employee in a factory who was still sticking to her post even though she was pregnant. As a result, her child was also born at the same time. If she was not lucky, her health was not bad, and who knows what would happen. This was originally a last resort, but she became a model. It was said that even if she was about to give birth, she would stick to her post and would not leave. She was dedicated to her work, and she was rated as an activist.
Such activists are playing with their lives.
Ye Qijia started the operation at night.
After Yu Xianghai was pushed awake, he immediately woke up Yu Qingshan and others to prevent any accidents. Because it was not the period calculated by the doctor, they did not go to the hospital. Unexpectedly, it really came earlier.
Yu Xianghai was extremely nervous. After waking up the person, he would just anxiously surround Ye Qijiajia. After Yu Qingshan's instructions, he knew what he should do. He picked her up and let her lean on the borrowed cart.
Yu Xianghai was in a very nervous state, so Yu Qingshan came to push the cart. Yu Xianghai just watched and talked to Ye Qijiajia to ease her anxiety, but looking at his nagging appearance, it was unclear who was easing whose anxiety.
Zhao Qiaoniang arrived a step late. She had to take some clothes and food with her.
Yu Xiangan followed him to the hospital. Don't count on Yu Xianghai in his current state. He was like a cow that was suddenly blindfolded. He was panicked and unable to make up his mind. He would just run around in panic.
It was not until the doctor came and sent the patient to the delivery room that nothing would happen in the short term that Yu Xiangan went to tell Yu Qingshan, "I need to go to my sister-in-law's family to pass on a message."
The other party said many times that no matter what time it was, as long as Ye Qijia started the attack, they would be notified to come over.
Yu Qingshan looked at the darkness outside, worried about his daughter walking alone at night, "I'll go, you stay here." He took out the money in his pocket and gave it to her, "If you need it, just take it out."
Judging from the eldest son’s behavior, he probably didn’t bring it.
This is Ye Qijiajia’s second child, so the birth will be slightly smoother than for other women who have lost twins.
Yu Xianghai had been sitting outside the door in a daze, looking in the direction of the door and listening to the faint noises coming from inside. Suddenly he woke up with a start, "Where are Mingjie and Xiaoju?"
Yu Xiangan comforted him, "They are both still sleeping, don't worry, there are people watching over them at home, it's okay to sleep at home." She would go back when her sister-in-law's family came, and when she went back, Zhao Qiaoniang would come over with some things.
Not long after, Yu Qingshan came with his two relatives-in-law. They came in a hurry and their clothes were not very tidy.
You can see that he is very worried.
Yu Qingshan came, Yu Xiangan said goodbye to him and went back first.
She still has to go to work tomorrow, and Yu Xianghai and Yu Qingshan will ask for leave for him. It is impossible for everyone to stay here without working. On their side, Yu Xianghai and Zhao Qiaoniang will be there, and they will come over during lunch break.
Because he was remembering this incident, Yu Xiangan was a little absent-minded in the morning, but fortunately nothing went wrong.
She should have some confidence and keep going to the doctor for checkups, and nothing unexpected will happen.
She had just left at noon when her first child was born.
This is a boy.
Half an hour later, the second child was born, a girl.
Compared to her brother, she weighs less than four kilograms and needs to be observed in the hospital for a while.
It's heartbreaking to watch.
But at last, both mother and child are safe. The doctor examined the child and took good care of him, and there is nothing wrong with him.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they learned the result.
The expression on his face relaxed, "Twins, boy and girl, how rare."
"Yes, yes."
Yu Mingjie kept standing on tiptoe, wanting to see his brothers and sisters inside, "When can I see my brothers and sisters?"
The doctor is in a good mood now, "You can see your brother Le if you wait a little longer, but your sister won't be able to for the time being."
Yu Xiangju also stood on tiptoe, "I want to see my nephews and nieces too. I'm their uncle."
Although he is about the same age as Mingjie, he knows that he is twice as old as Mingjie.
Yu Xiangan didn't see the two children until the evening.
The older brother weighs nearly five kilograms and the younger sister weighs nearly four kilograms.
Don’t even mention whether a newborn baby is good-looking or not. They all look like wrinkled little old men with dark skin.
Ye Qijiajia had woken up, but was not in good spirits. He woke up for a moment, looked at the child, and quickly fell asleep again.
Ye Qijia suffered a lot during this delivery. She stayed in the hospital for seven days. Delicious food flowed into her every day, which made other mothers envious.
Many of these delicious dishes were made by Yu Xiangan. Yu Xianghai gave her "food allowance" and asked his sister for help.
Yu Xiangan accepted it, consulted Lin Chuanbai, and added some useful medicinal herbs.
Ye Qijia's health was good and she ate well, so she felt much better after a few days and could move back home to continue her confinement. However, her younger daughter was not so well and had to stay in the hospital for observation.
She needs someone to take care of her during her confinement, so Zhao Qiaoniang will do it. As for the hospital, Ye Qijiajia's biological mother will have to take care of her.
She stayed at the Yu family during her confinement period.
After the confinement period, Ye Qijiajia had not lost any weight due to pregnancy. She had to feed two children, so she ate a lot of milk-producing foods.
After she finished her confinement, she gave Zhao Qiaoniang a set of clothes.
It is not easy to take care of a child during the confinement period.
After that, her biological mother moved back to the factory with her to help take care of the two children.
After she finished her confinement, she had enough energy again. The two adults, plus her brother Yu Mingjie, could take good care of the two younger ones.
When the little boy grew up gradually, Yu Xiangan discovered that the little girl named Yu Mingyao looked like her aunt, that is, like her, but in her opinion, she looked more like her older sister in this world!
What a fate!
Because of this, she showed a special preference for the little girl.
Others wouldn't find it strange, because the little girl was weak and everyone favored her a little more.
If the brother and sister were hungry and cried at the same time, she would definitely be the first one to be fed.
Only when she is full will she feed her brother.
Her brother eats a lot, but she eats very little. Ye Qijiajia can barely feed them. However, it is obvious that when they grow up a little bit and their appetite increases, they will need milk powder.
Infants are issued milk powder coupons, which can be purchased in a short period of time, but it is hard to say about the future. However, generally speaking, children can eat complementary foods when they are six months old. Ye Qijia has already thought about it. When the time comes, complementary foods will be arranged for the older brother, and his breastfeeding will be gradually reduced. As for the younger sister, it depends on her acceptance. If she is unwilling to eat complementary foods, she can breastfeed alone and the pressure will not be so great.
After having younger children, Yu Mingjie and Yu Xiangju seemed to have become much more sensible.
Now they are seven and six years old. They are already a little sensible at this age. Nowadays, many children are born, and the older ones take care of the younger ones. This is how they get through it.
Except for Mingyao who cannot be trusted to take care of two children, there is no problem with Yu Mingfeng.
They are still young, so most of the time I put them in bed and let them play by themselves. If they cry, I comfort them, change their diapers, and take them to their mother when they are hungry.
After all these operations, Yu Xiangan looked at him: “…”
If you think about it carefully, the original owner's memory also has many experiences of taking care of Yu Xiangju and Yu Mingjie. This is the case for all families with many children. Otherwise, how would the adults have time to work and earn money?
That is to say, when the child is still young, you have to pay more attention to it when feeding. For example, Mingyao now looks like an ordinary child, so she goes back to work and feeds her in the morning. Her mother takes the two children out for a meal in the middle, and then comes back to feed her at noon.
When they are one year old, they are basically let go. Some of the younger ones have been raised by their older brothers and sisters since they were young.
Think about it, most children of this age in later generations are naughty and may even need their parents to chase them to feed them. Then compare it with the situation of doing housework and taking care of younger siblings now.
...Children from poor families have to grow up early.
Lin Chuanbai knew that Yu Xiangan's eldest brother's little daughter looked like her eldest sister in this world, and he could understand this feeling.
Even though he knew she was not that person, but looking at that familiar face and seeing that she was living a good life, he felt a sense of relief in his heart - just like when he saw Lin Duzhong who looked somewhat like the old Taoist priest.
He took out a pound of sesame seeds from the sack he brought and gave it to Yu Xiangan, who took it.
This is for making sesame cakes. He gets very hungry in the middle of the afternoon, so having some snacks will make him feel much better.
"Is your niece okay now?"
Yu Xiangan smiled and said, "It's okay."
Children are prone to illness, and those with poor constitutions are more likely to get sick. Fortunately, it is not a big problem. She now consciously gives her spiritual spring water to drink, which is somewhat helpful.
"Do you want wild boar meat? I know someone whose brigade has wild boars coming down the mountain in droves to destroy crops. They killed more than ten of them, sold some to the purchasing station, and distributed some to the villagers. If you want it, I'll let him keep it."
Yu Xiangan, "Yes!"
Of course you wouldn't want it! Although wild boar meat is a bit tougher than wild boar meat, it tastes just as good when cooked.
"Okay, see you at this time tomorrow. By the way, I saw your article in the newspaper. It's very well written." He would check the newspaper every few days. "This is the second article you've published in this period."
Yu Xiangan was a little embarrassed, "I feel more comfortable after writing more."
So more of her articles were accepted.
"I also wrote an article praising our factory and it was published. I heard from the factory director that I might have a chance to be evaluated as an outstanding company at the end of this year."
She didn't want to talk about the undecided matter in the first place, for fear that if it didn't work out in the end, people would say she was frivolous, but she just blurted it out now.
Obviously she didn't tell anyone.
"That's great. You must have performed very well on weekdays and made a name for yourself in the factory. Your leader said so, so it's probably true."
Being rated as excellent is very important at this time. First of all, there will be rewards and it will increase your reputation. When allocating rooms, this performance is also an important selection basis.
"It would be best if I can get it, but it's okay if I can't." Yu Xiangan didn't care much about this. It was impossible for her to stay in the factory until he allocated a room again.
She plans to go out as soon as the college entrance examination is resumed.
There is a wider world out there.
“Don’t you like cooking very much? I went to the city a few days ago and happened to see these two cookbooks in the bookstore. I’m giving them to you.” I originally went to buy picture books for Yuanyuan, but somehow I remembered this and asked the clerk to find them out.
Yu Xiangan took it, looked at it, and was a little surprised. "There are quite a few things in these two books that I haven't read. Thank you!"
Given their relationship, there's no reason to refuse two books. Just return them when you have a chance and don't take advantage of others all the time. It would be awkward if you divide them clearly every time.
Seeing that she liked it, Lin Chuanbai breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
It was worth it that he had been looking for so long.
"I know you like reading recipes, but don't forget math and politics. If you forget them now, it will be painful to catch up later."
They all plan to take the college entrance examination.
Yu Xiangan: "..."
I am speechless.
She knew what he said made sense. It would be easier to read it occasionally and remember it so that she could recall it later. However...it turned out that interest was the best teacher.
No matter how obscure the recipe is, she can still read it with great interest.
Mathematics and politics are different.
Politics, in particular, is full of the characteristics of this time and nothing can go wrong.
It would be terrible if you accidentally wrote something you shouldn’t write now during the college entrance examination.
Suddenly, two little heads popped up from the edge, saw the two people from afar, and shouted loudly, "Fifth sister! Fifth sister!"
Yu Xiangan turned around and saw Yu Xiangju and Yu Mingjie.
"Why are you here at this time?" She has to go to work and sleeps in the house in her factory most of the time. She cooks her own dinner. Now is the time for dinner. They come here at this time. Maybe they have something to do.
"My uncle is here. My dad asked us to come and call you back. My brother is waiting at the intersection of your house. We asked about you. Someone said they saw you walking in this direction."
Lin Chuanbai nodded, "Then I'll go back first."
"good."
"What's the matter with you coming here at this time?"
"I came with Brother Manwu and brought wild boar meat. We have wild boar meat to eat."
"So that's how it is." It turned out that the Red Star Brigade also killed a wild boar.
"By the way, Fifth Sister, who was that person just now? Is he your boyfriend? Are you guys secretly in a relationship like in the movies?" There was pure curiosity in his big black and white eyes.
“Ahem!”
Yu Xiangan was choked by his words.
