The pregnant woman had just finished her meal and came in when Lu Hai and Lu Jiang came in with food.
Lu Jiang walked to Zhang Tiantian, opened the lunch box and started feeding her.
"Tiantian, I specially made you some Gastrodia elata stewed chicken. The doctor said that eating Gastrodia elata stewed chicken will help mothers recover faster, so you should eat more.
Come, drink some chicken soup first, then eat your meal. Also, eat more stir-fried vegetables, they’re good for your health.”
"Brother Lu Jiang, I'll eat by myself. You can go eat too. You don't have to feed me."
"Tiantian, Lu Hai and I have eaten here, so don't worry about me, let me feed you.
Also, I have borrowed a car from Uncle Li, and we will take the car back tomorrow.
Honey, I know you've worked hard. Just endure one more night, and we'll be discharged tomorrow morning, okay?"
"I see, honey, you've worked hard too. Honey, I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Please feed me a variety of foods instead of just chicken. I'm a bit tired of eating meat all the time."
Lu Hai took out the lunch boxes and began to distribute them to Gu Ranran, Zhang's mother, Gu's mother and the team leader.
"Eat more, you've worked hard these days. My brother helped me today, so I made some extra dishes. There's braised pork, chicken stewed with Gastrodia elata, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried wild vegetables, twice-cooked pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, steamed fish, and seaweed soup."
When the pregnant woman saw the food Zhang Tiantian and the others were eating, she probably felt slapped in the face and didn't say much.
The woman went into labor that night, and about two hours later, she gave birth to a daughter. Neither of them was very happy and remained silent.
The next morning, after Lu Jiang completed the discharge procedures, he went to the commune to drive the car.
The captain and Lu Hai held the two children, Zhang's mother and Gu's mother packed their things, and Gu Ranran helped Zhang Tiantian put on her military coat.
Lu Jiang drove the car to the hospital entrance. When he arrived at the ward, the things had already been put away.
Lu Jiang walked in front holding Zhang Tiantian, while the team leader and Lu Hai put the two children in their arms and followed with their clothes covering them.
Zhang's mother and Gu's mother were carrying things and walking behind with Gu Ranran.
Lu Jiang put Zhang Tiantian in the passenger seat and helped put the things in the trunk.
Zhang's mother and Gu's mother were holding their children and sitting in the middle with Gu Ranran.
The captain and Lu Hai sat in the back, and Lu Jiang drove off.
Before the car entered the village, many children ran after it. When it arrived in the village, many people came to watch the fun.
Lu Jiang drove the car to the gate of the yard, got out of the car, carried Zhang Tiantian into the yard.
Zhang's mother and Gu's mother also carried their children into the yard, and the team leader and Lu Hai went to get something.
As soon as Gu Ranran got out of the car, she was stopped by the excited Aunt Chen: "Ranran, you actually came back by car, didn't your family buy this car?"
"Aunt Chen, are you kidding me? How can our family afford a car? This car is borrowed. After Lu Hai and the others get their things, they will drive the car back and return it."
"Ran Ran, who did you borrow this from? My Hu Zi is getting married soon. Can you help me borrow a car to pick up the bride?"
"Aunt Chen, I'm sorry, this car belongs to a relative of mine in Beijing. He happened to come to our commune to inspect our work, so I had the opportunity to borrow the car.
He will be returning to Beijing soon, and I don’t know when he will come to our commune again, so I can’t lend him money.”
"Ran Ran, you're too stingy. We won't borrow it for long. We're just borrowing it to pick up the bride. Half a day will be enough.
You've already married into our village, so you're a member of our village now. People in the same village should help each other. People say that a close neighbor is better than a distant relative."
Gu Ranran was speechless as she watched the trunk being cleared of items. She gave Lu Hai a look, and Lu Hai drove off to the commune.
"Aunt Chen, I really can't lend it to you. The car isn't ours, so I can't make the decision.
Besides, my relative's home is in Beijing. After Lu Hai delivers the car to him, he will go back to Beijing.
Our commune seems to have a car. You can borrow it from the commune leader. We are not far from the commune. With Aunt Chen's eloquence, you will definitely be able to borrow it."
After Gu Ranran finished speaking, the villagers burst into laughter. Aunt Chen stomped her feet and left angrily.
The remaining villagers began to complain about Aunt Chen: "Huh, her son is like that, and he still wants to drive a car to pick up the bride. It's really a daydream. If someone dares to lend it to him, will he be able to drive it?"
"That's right, he wants to take advantage of everything. What kind of person is he? He has no idea. If it weren't for the high bride price, no one would marry his son."
"That's right. His son is 30 years old and just got married. He paid a betrothal gift of 100 yuan. This is not marrying a wife, it's buying a wife."
Aunt Li saw Gu Ranran about to enter the yard and quickly pulled her back: "Ranran, did Tiantian give birth to two sons? I'm quite curious."
"Aunt Li, yes, they are twin boys, and they have already been named. The eldest is Lu Zimo, and the second is Lu Zixuan.
Alas, the Lu family's genes are truly powerful. It seems I am pregnant with two sons."
"Ran Ran, there's nothing wrong with having a son, especially as the first child. It's better to have a son. You and Lu Hai are still young. If you want a daughter, just have another one.
The Lu family's genes are really strong. As long as the twins are sons, there is no exception. This has been the case for generations.
But it's easy for the Lu family to find a wife. Many people are looking for a son. If they have a son, they won't be looked down upon by others. They won't be bullied by their husband's family either.
Back then, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai were very popular in our village. If they hadn't been so picky, their parents wouldn't have helped them. There really wouldn't be a place for you and Tiantian.
