Mrs. Yang swallowed nervously, looked at one of the dolls, and tentatively called out, "Yuanzhi?"
"Hey~"
The little kid seemed to understand, stretched out his arms and scratched around, laughing non-stop.
Several adults were amazed by the scene. They looked at each other, this was too magical...
Mrs. Yang looked at the other child tentatively, "Ling You?"
Unexpectedly, the little baby's frown instantly relaxed and he laughed like his brother.
"Hey! It's amazing!"
The usually calm Yang Feng couldn't help but slap his thigh and yell.
It was okay for him to be so excited, but he scared the two babies. They stopped laughing and started to cry with frowns on their faces.
Mrs. Yang began to comfort him in a hurry, and did not forget to take the time to glare at the smirking Yang Feng.
Yang Feng didn't expect their emotions to change so quickly. In response to his wife's complaints, he just smiled awkwardly.
His frightened look made the other people laugh secretly. Mrs. Yang did the same. She smiled secretly while comforting her sons.
Farsightedness, when in the mountains it is a small grass, when out of the mountains it is farsightedness.
Lingyou means being gentle and refined and having a bright future.
Both names have important meanings, and they represent the hopes and future that Confucius gave to the two children.
Xiaoguo looked back with a smile and inadvertently saw Xiaohua and Xiaohu standing timidly in the corner. The smile on his face froze.
These two children...
While everyone was rejoicing over the newborn babies, Xiaohua and Xiaohu were inexplicably left out. Ever since their little brothers were born, their status had been declining rapidly.
Xiaohua became more sensible, and Xiaohu also became much more obedient, for fear that his parents would dislike him.
At this moment, they were all circling around the little brother. Xiaohua and Xiaohu stood timidly aside, wanting to get closer but not knowing how.
Why are they Yuanzhi and Lingyou, and they are just Xiaohua and Xiaohu...
Xiaoguo was close to Mrs. Yang, so she touched her quietly.
The Yang family has never been partial, but today they did somewhat neglect Xiaohua and Xiaohu.
Following her reminder, Mrs. Yang also saw Xiaohua and Xiaohu outside the circle.
In an instant, inexplicable sadness surged into my heart.
Yang Feng, who had been observing her, also followed her direction and saw his own children. Naturally, he noticed their strange expressions. His heart sank, and then he walked towards them with a smile.
Yang Feng was very strong and he picked up the brother and sister one by one.
Xiaohua and Xiaohu were startled by the sudden weightlessness and they unconsciously clung to the side. When they came to their senses, they found that they were leaning in their father's arms.
Yang Feng held the two children and sat down beside the bed without putting them down. "Sister and brother, please look at the younger brothers."
Xiaohua and Xiaohu blushed and looked at their father and mother shyly.
"Our Hua'er and Hu now look like big sisters and big brothers."
Yang Jia followed closely and said.
His words aroused the approval of Aunt Yang, who nodded repeatedly and said, "Our children are all very good children."
Xiaohua and Xiaohu were immediately happy. It was great that their parents didn't love them less just because of their little brother.
Xiaoguo looked at the two children and smiled.
She suddenly remembered what Jiang Shanhe mentioned in the letter. It turned out that he was more considerate than herself and bought gifts for Xiaohua and Xiaohu in advance because he was afraid that the two children would feel disappointed.
This Jiang Danhe is becoming more and more lovable.
After they had felt warm enough, Xiao Guo finally interrupted them.
"Xiaohua and Xiaohu, auntie has some gifts for you. They were bought by your uncle Jiang in Beijing together with the gifts for your brothers. See if you like them."
As she spoke, she handed them something wrapped in red cloth.
Xiaohua and Xiaohu looked confused, but also very surprised. They didn't expect there would be gifts for them. They took them carefully and didn't forget to say thank you.
The gift given to Xiaohua was a silver bracelet with two bells on it. When you shake it gently, it makes a crisp tinkling sound. The little girl liked it very much.
Xiaohu's was a jade pendant with a very cute tiger carved on it. He loved it very much and kept stroking the tiger and showing it off to others, saying that the tiger on the jade pendant was himself, making everyone laugh.
Seeing the two little guys regain their usual liveliness, the adults present finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuangzhuang glanced at Xiaoguo secretly. Although...but...didn't his dad give it to him?
Both Sister-in-law Yang and Brother Yang felt very guilty. Seeing the lonely eyes of the two children just now made them feel terribly sad. During this period, the whole family was busy taking care of the newborn and somewhat ignored their feelings. It was their fault.
"Thank you."
Mrs. Yang reached out and grabbed Xiaoguo, and whispered something.
She has been saying thank you to her all the time these days, but when all the things are added up, how can just saying thank you be enough...
Xiaoguo smiled and shook her head at Mrs. Yang. There was nothing to thank her for. She could not forget how the Yang family had cared for her and her son during the previous famine. They had nothing to eat at home, but they still shared some with them. She would never forget this life-saving favor.
Breakfast was ready at this time. A group of people had just finished breakfast and soon they heard voices coming from outside.
It turned out that close relatives in the village came to visit. They all knew that the Yang family was celebrating its full moon today, so they brought eggs or snacks to congratulate them.
According to the custom of Taohua Village, there is no need to give gifts as a gift. Every household is not wealthy, so just bring a little thought.
People from Yang Dasao's family also came, including Yonghai Luban.
Before long, the Yang family's house was filled with people standing inside and outside. It was very lively. Some were invited, and some were uninvited, all came to congratulate.
As soon as the two babies had eaten and drunk their fill, they were surrounded by a group of women, who scrambled to hug them, without stopping for even a moment.
Fortunately, the two kids were not bad-tempered. They did not cry when being held by so many people. Instead, they laughed, which made the group of women envy and envy Mrs. Yang.
The reason why so many people came to congratulate her was simply because Mrs. Yang was the first woman in the village to give birth to twins, and the only pair of twins in Taohua Village, both boys.
If you tell others about it, they will be extremely jealous.
The modern idea is that boys and girls are the same, because men and women are equal and can both shine and give warmth.
But in ancient times the difference was not slight.
In this era, girls would marry off when they reached a certain age, and boys were the only ones who were the roots of the family, bringing honor to the family and carrying on the family line.
In this era, men can do many things and have many opportunities, but women seem to have only one destiny, which is to get married and have children.
Therefore, it is conceivable that Mrs. Yang had a pair of boys all her life, and the first child was also a boy, which made others very jealous.
The people who came today either came to congratulate or to seek good fortune.
Most of them brought their daughters-in-law, unmarried daughters, or pregnant women. Everyone came with only one purpose, which was to hope to inherit the good fortune of having a pair of male children from Mrs. Yang.
Even if you can't produce pairs, a single branch will do, as long as it has a handle.
This is what people of this era think. It is right and wrong. This is the environment of this era. There are not many opportunities left for women, almost no opportunities.
The lively atmosphere at Yang's house made the other family in the village, which was celebrating their full moon at the same time, look extremely deserted. The reason for this was that they had a baby girl and only a few people came to congratulate them, and they even saved the trouble to set off firecrackers.
It's really a family happy and a family worried.
