Chapter 82 Mom and Dad’s Baby

The loud cry of the baby was particularly catchy amid the noise of the delivery room, attracting a group of people rushing in from outside, all of them expectant and delighted.

He Hongyuan knew that it was the cry of his own child, and he stood there for a few seconds as if he had been struck. His hands and feet were almost stiff, and his scalp was numb, making it difficult for him to move.

"Hongyuan, over there!" Seeing her son standing there in a daze, He Guifang tugged at his arm and pointed to a delivery bed not far away, saying excitedly, "Xiangxiang and the child are over there!"

Hearing Lin Xiang's name, He Hongyuan came back to his senses. He raised his eyes and looked over. The exhausted woman lying on the delivery bed was none other than his wife!

After several hours of labor, Lin Xiang had fallen asleep, her face was wet with sweat, and because of the long-term exertion, her face looked a little pale, not as bright and rosy as before. Her face was pale and bloodless, and even her lips were dull.

Lin Xiang just lay there quietly, but her brows were slightly wrinkled, difficult to relax. He Hongyuan raised his hand to touch her, but didn't know where to start.

He had never seen his lover so weak before. She looked like a fragile object, which made his heart ache.

He touched lightly, placing his fingertips tenderly between his daughter-in-law's brows, knowing that she was still in pain in her sleep.

"Nurse, is my wife okay? When will she wake up? Is she okay?"

Seeing this soldier who had fought in the battlefield and remained calm despite all the injuries he received, the nurse couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not a big deal. Let her have a good sleep and she'll be fine when she wakes up."

Hearing this, He Hongyuan felt relieved, but he was still frowning.

until--

"Wa~~~" the baby's crying sound attracted his attention again.

The nurse handed the newborn baby to He Guifang and said with a smile, "Mother and daughter are safe. The baby is so pretty. She was a beauty right after she was born, just like her mother. It was only when the father came in that I realized that both of them are good-looking. No wonder the baby is pretty too."

The nurse has delivered hundreds of babies and she never lies. You can tell at a glance that this baby is in good shape.

"Oh, our child is so beautiful, nurses, thank you for your hard work!" He Guifang looked at the baby in the cradle, whose whole body was red. The baby just cried a few times and then fell asleep with his eyes closed, his little mouth smacking. Her heart almost melted.

This is her granddaughter! She has become a grandmother!

"Hongyuan, come and see the child." He Guifang was holding her granddaughter and couldn't see her enough. After asking her son to pass the child over, she finally had time to take a closer look at her daughter-in-law.

The people who came in were driven out by the nurses. He Guifang, Feng Li and Zhou Yuezhu surrounded Lin Xiang, ready to follow the nurses to send the people back to the ward.

He Hongyuan was suddenly handed a baby by his own mother that was so light that it seemed to weigh nothing. He froze.

Such a tiny baby, all red and wrinkled, curled up in his arms. His hands were trembling slightly and he didn't dare to use force, as if he would hurt her if he used the slightest force.

These were his wife and his own child. He Hongyuan lowered his eyebrows and gazed at the young lady who was soundly sleeping. His heart, which had been hard as usual, seemed to have been soaked in water and had become soft and swollen. It had grown much larger, but with a light touch, it was no longer as hard as a rock, but incredibly soft.

——

Lin Xiang woke up around eight o'clock that night.

The first thing he saw was a man with a haggard face. He Hongyuan had been on a mission for a few days and had been busy all day in the hospital. He was not as energetic as before and even had some blue stubble on his chin.

She vaguely remembered that He Hongyuan had been away on a mission for four or five days, and then she seemed to be about to give birth...

About to give birth?

Lin Xiang suddenly raised her hand and touched her belly, and the big belly that had been with her for a long time was gone!

That place became flat. Had I really given birth?

Everything seemed like a dream. All of a sudden, I felt pain in my body, and then the painful and struggling memory of giving birth after being sent to the delivery room flashed back to me.

"Xiangxiang, how are you? Does it hurt a lot?" He Hongyuan looked at his daughter-in-law in surprise as she finally woke up, and asked anxiously.

"Hiss, well, it hurts~" Because the delivery took a long time and she used up all her strength time and time again, Lin Xiang's voice was a little hoarse at this moment.

Giving birth is really painful. It hurts so much that she screams and cries. It hurts so much that she wants to tell the child, "Why not not give birth? It's in too much pain, Mom."

But after she was exhausted, she heard the baby crying and saw the nurse holding the child in her sight. Lin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. The moment her blurry vision met the child, she forced a difficult smile at the corner of her mouth and then fell asleep.

At this moment, her husband finally came back. Lin Xiang felt a mixture of pain, grievance and helplessness in her heart. She said in a voice of anger and tears: "Why did you come back so late? Don't you know how much pain I am in?"

He Hongyuan's eyes instantly turned red after hearing these words softly. He gently held Lin Xiang's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I came back late."

Resting her head on the soft pillow, Lin Xiang shook her head slightly: "It's all your fault that your daughter didn't give you face and came out early."

He Hongyuan forced a smile and raised his hand to tuck the loose hair behind his wife's ears: "Well, this little girl doesn't give her father any face at all. I will deal with her later."

The little girl who was still sleeping soundly at this time: "...?"

Lin Xiang was amused by the man's words. Just laughing made her body move. She couldn't help but hiss. He Hongyuan was so anxious that he half sat up suddenly, his eyebrows raised: "I'll go call a doctor to take a look!"

He had never felt so helpless in the army, and at this moment, he felt it deeply.

The obstetrician and gynecologist came to check on Lin Xiang and said to the anxious Director He, "Director He, your wife is fine. She will be fine after some rest."

He Hongyuan confirmed it several times before he felt relieved.

After the doctor left, He Guifang held the baby in her arms and showed it to Lin Xiang, her eyes full of pity: "Xiangxiang, you should take a good rest. This is the most difficult stage for us women to endure, especially during the confinement period. You must be more careful, otherwise you will be left with all kinds of problems in the future."

Lin Xiang seemed to have taken a look at the child when she gave birth, but her consciousness was vague at that time and she could not remember what the child looked like at all. Now when she looked at it, she saw a small ball-like baby appearing in front of her. It was so small that it made her heart soften.

This came out of her belly, her baby.

"Mom, give me a hug." Lin Xiang raised her hands weakly.

"Hey!" He Guifang put the child next to Lin Xiang, "Come, let's go see your mother. Haven't you heard the nurses say that our baby is the most beautiful they have ever seen? They say that it's no wonder the child is so beautiful, it turns out that both the parents are beautiful."

Lin Xiang smiled with her eyes narrowed, like a pool of clear spring water, her eyes were full of smiles, and she just stared at her baby intently.

He Hongyuan, who was standing aside, was also looking at Lin Xiang and the child, with a faint smile on his face.

......

After staying in the hospital for two days, Lin Xiang and her child were discharged and returned home.

Many relatives and friends came to visit, but everyone knew that a woman in labor needed to rest, so they didn't dare to disturb her too much. Most of them just said a few words to Lin Xiang, looked at the child, left some gifts and left.

Lin Xiang finally realized what it meant to be busy.

There have been so many people coming and going in the house these days that she almost forgot who she had seen. She always felt that she and her child had become an attraction, and that others were just there to check in.

Wuxia was not concerned about other things. Lin Xiang ate and slept every day, and in between she just fed her child, devoting herself to it wholeheartedly.

He Hongyuan's pace of returning home also quickened a little every day. As long as the troops did not have any extra work, he would not stay for long.

The soldiers under his command all sighed: "Captain He used to like to train everyone when he had nothing to do, but now he immediately leaves the army and goes home when there is nothing to do. Thank God, thank you, Miss He!"

The little girl who was only ten days old at this time: "...?"

What does it have to do with me?

Just before the end of the get off work day, He Hongyuan received a call from an unexpected guest in the army.

Zhou Shengqiang on the other end of the phone couldn't hide his excitement: "Hongyuan, I heard that Xiaolin gave birth to a child? Are you a father now?"

He Hongyuan was annoyed with this man: "What does it have to do with you? Don't worry about it, Chief Zhou."

Zhou Shengqiang learned that he was going to be a grandfather when his son Zhou Hongfei casually mentioned that he saw Lin Xiang was pregnant.

Although Hongyuan has this attitude towards himself, his grandson still has the same blood as him, so how can he not be happy?

"Even if you have complaints about me, please don't push them onto the next generation. After all, I am still the grandfather of your child." Zhou Shengqiang wanted to go and see, but he knew that his son would definitely not agree. It was a rare torment. "I'll buy some things for the child and ask your uncle to take them over..."

"No, we can't afford it." He Hongyuan said firmly, with a hint of sarcasm, "Commander Zhou, if you want to be a grandfather so badly, just let your son have a baby and stop thinking about other people's children."

After making some sarcastic remarks, he hung up the phone. Thinking of Zhou Shengqiang's frustrated expression on the other end of the line, He Hongyuan felt a little relieved.

However, he was not going to tell Lin Xiang about this, as he did not want such people and matters to bother his wife.

——

Lin Xiang had just fed his daughter. His heart almost melted as he watched the little girl, whose red complexion had faded and now looked fair and tender, fragrant and soft.

Her little mouth was smacking with desire, and her cheeks were puffy like a little apple.

"Your eldest daughter is so beautiful, she looks just like you!" Qiu Hongxia came to visit with her maid Zhang Yafen and brought a bag of brown sugar to Lin Xiang. She stared at the other girl with greedy eyes, saying she was so well-behaved.

Lin Xiang almost laughed out loud when Sister Guazi said "Da Ya". She hadn't even had time to name the child.

The main reason is that I thought about it for a long time before the birth but was not satisfied with it, so I kept delaying it until now.

During the confinement period, she decided to think carefully about one thing: the relatives and friends who came to visit the child recently kept calling her at random, which was really worrying.

Some were called Daya, some were called Dabao, and she even remembered that Jiang Weijun and Song Qingya's son, who was born two months earlier, was nicknamed Goudan.

This was given to Jiang Weijun by his parents, who said it was a bad name that would be easier to maintain.

Lin Xiang was really trembling with fear. She had to give her daughter a nice name.

When He Hongyuan returned from the army in the evening, Lin Xiang had been reading Chinese books and dictionaries for a long time, but she was still not satisfied with what she had read.

"What's wrong? You look so worried. Mom told you not to worry during the confinement period, otherwise you will have problems in the future." The first thing He Hongyuan did when he got home was to visit his wife and children. He leaned over and looked at his daughter-in-law who was well fed and soundly sleeping, his eyes full of love.

"As for the name, you're not satisfied with it." Lin Xiang simply passed the buck to the man, "Why don't you think of one?"

He Hongyuan thought about it. He did not try to find a word with a good meaning in the book. He thought for a moment and said, "How is He Lin?"

Lin Xiang's eyes lit up. Both of their surnames added together?

It seems pretty good, nice to listen to, look at and pronounce.

"Then use the 'Lin' next to the 'Wang'!"

The baby's name was decided at once, but the nickname was left. Lin Xiang continued to worry, because girls in this era were generally called Da Ya, Er Ya, and San Ya, while boys were mostly called Goudan or Gou Sheng.

Such a lovely baby of yours, you must give him a cute nickname.

Until several people from the second factory came to see her again. Zhao Jianjun brought Ma Defa, Kong Zhenzhen and her two apprentices Xiao Zhong and Xiao Xiangguo with many gifts in their hands.

A box of coconut juice, a box of Spanish mackerel sauce and two packs of noodles, a pack of brown sugar, a pack of white sugar and four coconuts, and finally the most real money - five yuan in consolation money from the 119 Food Factory Workers' Union.

"Xiao Lin, we are here to visit you today on behalf of the factory's labor union." Zhao Jianjun and Kong Zhenzhen had actually come once before, three days after Lin Xiang gave birth. This time they were here on behalf of the factory.

"Thank you, Director, and thank you to the factory." Lin Xiang took the condolence money. He Guifang put down the things she had carried and warmly entertained the guests. She could only sigh that this factory was really great to receive so many gifts.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone didn't want to disturb Lin Xiang's rest too much, so they declined He Guifang's polite offer to stay for dinner and left in a swarm.

It was early summer on the island in May, and the weather was getting hotter. Lin Xiang didn't drink the coconut juice sent from the factory, but the fresh coconuts were indeed tempting. He Hongyuan opened two, one for He Guifang and one for himself. Lin Xiang looked at them eagerly and couldn't help but drink two sips of the fresh coconut water.

She holds an oval green coconut in both hands, while the baby who just woke up and drank milk looks at his mother with big watery eyes, and moves his little hands and feet vigorously, as if silently expressing his craving for coconut water.

"This is coconut water, you can't drink it." Lin Xiang leaned over and looked at the young lady. In a flash, he suddenly thought of something. The mainstay of the factory is coconut juice, and the most common fruit on the island is coconut. So the young lady's nickname is Little Coconut.

At least it sounds better than Daya Goudan!

He Hongyuan did not comment on this. Although the name was a bit strange, it was still quite cute.

In response to this, Lin Xiang said, it’s really better than Goudan!

Speak of Goudan, here comes Goudan.

The next day, Jiang Weijun and Song Qingya came to visit with their son, and they were accompanied by Zhang Huafeng and Yan Min.

Jiang Weijun and Song Qingya's son is more than three months old. He is chubby and strong. He follows his parents out to visit his sister, babbling excitedly.

Little Coconut was lying on the bed, wrapped in a soft swaddling cloth. Her beautiful big eyes had dark pupils, and she was staring at her little brother who looked almost the same as her.

He is different from everyone else in the room, just like himself. The others are all adults, but he is a small ball.

The adults were talking, and the children were looking at each other and grinning together.

Zhang Huafeng and Yan Min looked at them with envy: "You two have really good-looking kids."

Yan Min teased this and looked at that, liking them very much: "I come to check on them every now and then, please don't think I'm annoying."

Zhang Huafeng came over eagerly and said, "We will give birth to the baby ourselves when the time comes, and we won't ask them for help."

Yan Min calculated the time: "After these two years, I want to give birth to a fat baby!"

She loves children very much.

Lin Xiang finally finished her confinement. Taking advantage of the fine weather, she took little Coconut and went for a walk outside. The distance was not far, so she walked slowly from her home to Yuezhu's home.

Feng Li herself had not yet become a grandmother, but seeing other children so happy, she also made a dress for the little girl and specially embroidered a few flowers on it.

Zhou Yuezhu, the aunt, was even more excited. Her niece was only three months old, but she had already bought hairpins and hair ties for Little Yezi, and even wanted to make a little skirt for her.

Lin Xiang hurriedly advised her: "Stop it, it's still too early for Xiao Yezi to wear a skirt."

Zhou Yuezhu: "..."

Humph, my heart and hands are itchy.

While the family was strolling around with their children and relaxing in the warm sunshine in the yard, He Hongyuan was leading the troops in training.

The new recruits who joined the army last September are undergoing rigorous training. From being young and ignorant at the beginning, they have become more mature, more tanned, faster and stronger.

After running, shooting and military boxing training, He Hongyuan heard Chen Huashan, a new recruit who always took first place in the team, bragging to other new recruits not far away.

"These trainings are nothing. I still think they are not intense enough."

"I thought life in the military would be very difficult, but it turned out to be just like this."

Dong Wu, the squad leader who was training the new recruits and was reporting to He Hongyuan, raised his lips when he heard this: "Why is this kid so annoying? He's so arrogant."

He Hong glanced at him from afar and asked: "What's the difference between now and when you were a new soldier?"

Dong Wu: “…?”

Thinking back to two and a half years ago, when I first joined the army, I was also a troublemaker with excellent grades. In the end, it was after Captain He gave me a hand-to-hand fight that I was completely convinced and convinced from the bottom of my heart.

"Captain He, please go and deal with him. This boy is so arrogant! Does he really think that this is how the army is? He really needs to be taught a lesson." Dong Wu saw his own shadow in Chen Huanian.

He Hongyuan waved his hand and said, "Let him be so arrogant. Sooner or later he will realize the difference between the troops. I have something else to do. You can make a training summary and then go to eat."

"Hey, Captain He!" Dong Wu looked at Captain He's back as he walked away in big strides, feeling worried. Where is the ruthlessness you used to punish me back then? Why are you leaving now?

Turning around, Dong Wu saw Political Commissar Zhang: "Political Commissar Zhang, He Tuan is too soft-hearted now."

Zhang Huafeng shook his head and couldn't help but sigh: "There's nothing we can do. You guys are in a hurry to go home and wash diapers. You don't have time to deal with these troublemakers."

Dong Wu: “…”

A generation of ruthless and cruel King Yan turned into a super dad. Is it the degeneration of human nature or the sadness of the times?

——

When the little coconut was three months old, midsummer arrived as expected. The golden sunshine was blown away by the breeze, sprinkling on the sparkling sea, splashing brightly on the water.

Fragments of gold dotted the red brick building and climbed up the branches of the vines in the garden. Under the eggplant vines in the yard, Lin Xiang was sitting on a chair, looking at the plump purple fruits and vegetables with Xiao Yezi.

The little coconut is white and tender, growing gradually in its mother's arms. Its arms are chubby and you can make soft nests by gently pinching it. It babbles in its mouth, and its baby voice is so cute.

He Hongyuan washed a diaper that the young lady had just changed in a basin nearby and hung it on a newly pulled wire. The breeze blew and several diapers swayed in the wind, filled with records of the little coconut's growth.

After taking the three dried diapers, He Hongyuan touched them from front to back, feeling them dry and numb. He turned around and saw the girl screaming "ah ah ah" towards him, and strode over to her.

"What are you talking about? Come, let me hear it." He took the daughter from his daughter-in-law skillfully, held her in his arms and talked to her, "Tell me a few more words."

Little Coconut's chubby cheeks were puffed up, and his little mouth was pouting, so he didn't even babble.

Lin Xiang laughed so hard that she fell backwards: "Little Coconut really doesn't give you face, hahaha."

He Hongyuan: "..."

"Be good, Coconut, talk to daddy." Captain He used a gentler tone than ever before in his life, and whispered softly to coax the child.

But little Coconut seemed determined to go against his father. He pursed his little mouth, blinked his eyes twice, but didn't open his mouth.

He Hongyuan was helpless: "Taking care of a child is harder than leading an army!"

Just after complaining, the new dad saw his daughter suddenly open her mouth, and his heart was lifted up, thinking that the child was about to cry out...

The girl still listens to her father and is willing to give him face.

As a result, Little Coconut just opened his little mouth and yawned, then closed it again with a loud hum, tilted his little head, and fell asleep.

He Hongyuan: "..."

Okay, you’re already torturing your dad at such a young age.

Lin Xiang smiled and crooked her eyes: "What should we do? Our little cotton jacket is a little leaky, hahahaha."

He Hongyuan coaxed his daughter to sleep: "I will wait for her to speak sooner or later."

Lin Xiang calculated the time and said, "Just wait. It's still too early for the child to speak."

——

Two years later.

May 5, 1977, March 18 in the lunar calendar.

On the second birthday of He Lin, the daughter of Lin Xiang and He Hongyuan.

The weather was fine, and the gentle sunshine paved the way home.

Lin Xiang left work early from the second factory, went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot of food, and hurried home in her little leather shoes.

He Hongyuan had just returned from a two-week sea mission and had a few days off, which happened to be his girlfriend's birthday, so he stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.

Passing by the family compound, many military families greeted Lin Xiang, and their conversations were all about her husband and his daughter.

"Xiao Lin, Captain He was just playing here with your Coconut. He just left."

Lin Xiangchong smiled at everyone and said, "Our little Coconut loves to play everywhere. He is very tough and can't sit still."

"Be tough!"

When she got near her home with the things in her hands, Lin Xiang saw her husband standing under a pine tree on the opposite side of the road, with a group of children beside him.

There were four daughters of Jiang Wenfang's sister-in-law, three boys of Political Commissar He, and a two-year-old and three-month-old son of Jiang Weijun.

"Why are you staying here?" Lin Xiang turned and walked towards the man. From a distance, she could hear the children calling her "Auntie" in a crisp voice.

"Hey, are you all playing here?" Lin Xiang looked at the group of children, now seven or eight years old, with suspicion. Especially the daughters of Jiang Saozi's family and the sons of Political Commissar He's family, they had never gotten along with each other. They couldn't be going to fight, right?

Sure enough, the two parties were arguing.

The children are older now, and the second, third, and fourth children of the He family have been sent to primary school one after another. After all, they are not as naughty and unreasonable as before. However, their naughty nature is hard to change, and they are scolding Yingzi and the others across the street.

He Sanbao: "The teacher doesn't like you. The teacher likes us."

Yingzi put her hands on her hips and said, "Bah, the teacher obviously thinks you are the most annoying and naughty, and praised you for not talking or moving around in class. You really think you are doing well."

"You're talking nonsense!" He Erbao said angrily, "The teacher didn't praise you, you're just jealous of us."

The two sides started arguing, and Lin Xiang wanted to laugh. What the hell was going on?

The last two groups of people stared at Jiang Sheng, the innocent and young son of Song Qingya, a primary school teacher: "Jiang Sheng, tell me, who does your mother like more?"

Little Jiang Sheng turned his head to look at his brother, then turned his head to look at his sister. His two-year-old head was almost unable to move. He scratched his head with both hands and said, "Mom, I like to flip, I like to flip!"

Children on both sides: "..."

Lin Xiang was amused by the children. Seeing that the two sides were arguing again, she only cared about her own children: "Where are our coconut people?"

Lin Xiang initially thought that He Hongyuan was nearby and that Coconut was being held by some uncle or aunt nearby, but when she looked around, she saw no one.

He Hongyuan pointed a finger above his head. Lin Xiang then looked in that direction and heard a childish voice.

"Mom, I'm here~"

There were two little bumps on the top of the little coconut's head, which were round and plump like two little horns. They swayed as she poked her head out from between the leaves.

The little face is white and tender and chubby. When it speaks, its little mouth is like a red cherry, revealing its cute little baby teeth as it opens and closes. However, because of its young age, its speech is in a babyish voice and a little unclear.

Lin Xiang could see clearly now that the young lady, who was wearing a light green top and pants, was sitting on the lowest branch of the pine tree, swinging her feet.

Little Coconut covered her eyes with her hands. Her two small hands were white, and there were five small dimples on the back of her hands at the end of her five fingers, just like the faint swirls at the corners of her mouth when she smiled.

The child was shaking his feet and asked, "Mom, did you see the little coconut?"

Lin Xiang glared at He Hongyuan and muttered in a low voice: "You brought the children to climb trees again!"

He turned around with a smile on his face and stepped forward to hold the heavy little girl down with his arms: "See~ Are you climbing trees with daddy again?"

Little Coconut betrayed his father without hesitation: "Baba, climb, Coconut, climb, climb tree, tree."

Finally, he hugged his mother tightly with both hands, and did not forget to add his mother and grandmother: "Mom crawled, grandma crawled, aunt crawled..."

Lin Xiang listened to the lady talking like a Khan recruiting soldiers and laughed helplessly.

He Hongyuan didn't care, and was very proud: "I'm watching. Besides, our daughter has a good body and is agile. She looks like me. When she grows up, I will teach her military boxing."

Lin Xiang: “…?”

I'm really worried that this man will raise a domineering woman.

All kinds of martial arts are arranged.

Before she finished worrying, Lin Xiang saw Yingzi and He Erbao and others stop arguing and rush to play with Little Yezi.

No one knows how Little Coconut looks like. Perhaps it is as the military families in the hospital guessed, that her father is too handsome and her mother is too beautiful, and this girl is also very cute, even prettier than the dolls in New Year pictures.

The adults in the orphanage love to tease her and like her very much. The children also love to hold her little hand and play with her.

Even the most mischievous kids in Political Commissar He's family began to speak softly to her.

It's outrageous.

The usually arrogant He Erbao, Sanbao and Sibao looked at the little sister eagerly: "Coconut, come and play with us. We will help you roll the iron rings and play marbles."

Yingzi and the others were even more excited: "Don't play with them, sister will take you to catch bugs."

But the little girl in his arms refused to listen and covered her ears to her brothers and sisters below: "No! It hurts my ears..."

The little girl was unhappy because her brothers and sisters had disturbed her with their quarrel.

Little Coconut pouted, his face flushed, he was tired from playing: "I want to go home and eat. I don't want to play with you guys anymore."

The older brothers and sisters felt very sorry and watched Uncle He and Aunt Lin take Little Coconut home.

"How many times have I told you that you shouldn't let such a young child climb a tree." Lin Xiang felt that He Hongyuan had bad intentions and would not really intend to train his daughter to be proficient in all kinds of martial arts.

He Hongyuan reassured her: "I'm watching her, she's absolutely safe."

Captain He had this confidence. Besides, he protected the girl the whole time. He let the girl feel the feeling of kicking her feet on the tree a few times, and then turned around and put the child on the branch to sit.

Little Coconut was so excited that it felt like it was sitting in the sky.

Little Coconut didn't notice that his parents were arguing, and he added fuel to the fire: "Climb, Coconut, climb the tree~ Climb high~"

"Well, you can climb high." Lin Xiang took out an egg cake from the oil paper bag he bought and held it in front of the lady, "Do you want to eat the egg cake?"

"Next!" Little Coconut's eyes suddenly lit up, his watery almond eyes widened, and his little mouth opened impatiently.

On the night of his second birthday, his family prepared a sumptuous dinner for him and invited his aunt and her family to come over for dinner.

Little Coconut ate egg cake, meat and drank coconut water that day. He played contentedly with his parents on the bed for a long time. Finally, he was tired and fell asleep with his body tilted.

At twelve o'clock in the night, Lin Xiang and He Hongyuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was really not easy to take care of a child, and they finally fell asleep.

Little Coconut was mainly taken care of by his grandmother. He would stick to her every day, chattering with his little mouth, which made the wrinkles at the corners of He Guifang's eyes deepen a little.

Lin Xiang and He Hongyuan were busy in the factory and the army respectively. They would go home as soon as they finished work every day. When they heard little Yezi Milk calling "Baba" and "Mama", they felt that all the tiredness of the day disappeared.

Every morning, Little Coconut wakes up earlier than his parents. He kisses them, waves to them at the dinner table, and then plays all day waiting for them to come back.

There seemed to be a scent of baby's milk on Lin Xiang's cheeks, and she went to work at the second factory.

After another two years of development, the second factory is now different from the past. Thanks to the hot-selling coconut juice and Spanish mackerel sauce, as well as the new seasonal fruit juices and sodas every year, it has long been famous throughout the south.

Coconut juice is supplied to more than 30 cities in the south, and Spanish mackerel sauce is supplied to more than 20 cities. The sales volume of the entire factory is now equal to that of Factory 1, and the actual benefits are even beginning to surpass that of Factory 1.

The factory area is gradually expanding and becoming more and more magnificent. Now, there are eight workshops in operation, several sets of equipment have been introduced, and the number of workers has been increased. The overall estimate is increasing day by day.

Even Secretary Tang, who is the most picky, could not find fault with Factory 2.

With the smooth development till now, Zhao Jianjun began to have some thoughts during a meeting with several key members of the factory.

"We are going to apply to the army to make our factory independent and become a sister factory to Factory 1, but we will be responsible for all administrative and financial matters ourselves." Zhao Jianjun was really fed up with the days when Factory 2 had to consult Factory 1 for every development and wait for Factory 1's approval.

Lin Xiang agreed: "Our factory is now on par with Factory 1 in all aspects and can be completely independent, which will also be beneficial for future development."

Especially since the college entrance examination will be resumed in the second half of this year and the reform and opening up will begin next year, only by becoming independent as soon as possible can we make great strides.

Others had no objection: "Director, go apply! Our factory is now well-known in the whole south."

This is true. After two years of development, the reputation of 119 Factory 2 is no less than that of 119 Factory 1, especially in the field of soda. It is the largest soda brand in the South.

Except for the temporary inability to conquer the northern territory, we have now established a firm foothold in the entire south.

Zhao Jianjun made the decision: "Okay, I'll apply!"
