The meal lasted until 8:30, a total of two hours. Everyone spoke in a low voice, trying to be as quiet as possible.
Lian Xiaomin felt very warm listening to her friends talking about things that happened over the past two years.
Very good, these three small families are living happily without encountering any difficulties, and everything has been going smoothly for more than two years.
Zhao Liming also mentioned the current situation of Doubao and Wang Xintian. Both of them went to work in the commune's transportation team.
Xin Tian was the first to get married. He had three children in four and a half years: two daughters and a son.
Doubao already has two children, a son and a daughter. Now his wife Chang Hemiao is pregnant again and will give birth to their third child by the end of the year.
Lian Xiaomin was stunned when she heard this. It was really like that in this era, people were giving birth to babies in succession. No wonder family planning was implemented in later generations.
It hasn't been a few years, it seems like the world she traveled to before, I remember that it was in 1980 that the second child policy was fully implemented.
That’s still six years away.
She patted Yufang's shoulder and said, "Yufang, how many babies do you want to have? If you want to have more, you have to do it sooner rather than later!"
Yufang slapped her on the back, thinking Xiaomin was joking with her.
What surprised Lian Xiaomin the most was that her aunt gave birth to another son.
Now he is one year old and can walk back and forth on the big kang, holding on to the wall!
She recalled that her aunt's fifth child, Dundun, was born in the summer of 1970 and is exactly four years old this year.
There was a heavy rainstorm that year, and there was a flood in one place. Lian Xiaomin secretly went there to help with the disaster relief, and ended up saving Wang Duo and Qian Daxixi from the flood.
Dun Dun was born that year.
She gave birth to another baby in the summer of 1973. It was her sixth baby after three years. How amazing!
The main reason was that I gave birth to triplets as my second pregnancy, which accelerated the process.
Yufang said that Laoliu’s nickname was Nian Nian. He was a very naughty boy and was not obedient at all.
Even if you spank him, he will still smile at you and continue to behave as usual.
Lian Xiaomin couldn't help but smack her lips. Li Ji Kindergarten has a new member!
But think about it, Lian Qiuping is the same age as Lawrence Lu. Last summer, she was only 28 years old. Maybe she will have to give birth to her seventh child in the future.
Just in time to put together a group of Calabash Brothers.
My aunt's neighbor, the Zheng family, had more than ten children. In this era, having ten or eight children is quite common...
They talked a lot about Sandaogou. Huang Liyuan has an old mother and a younger brother in his hometown. He and Yufang often go back to the village and talked about some things about their relatives.
The closest relatives in the village are the Zhang family.
Uncle Shengli is quite lucky in his career and was promoted again. He is now the second in command of the Materials Bureau in the county and now lives in the city.
But he goes home every weekend, after all, his parents are at home and their health is not very good.
Not long after he took office, his entire family could not move there, so he lived alone in the house allocated to him in the county town.
The fifth son of his family, Zhang Wenbing, joined the army as he wished last year.
The sixth child, Xiaogouzi, also known as Zhang Wenxiang, is fifteen years old this year and attends junior high school in the commune. He is still the same and very naughty.
Zhang Chunxiu married a soldier and followed the army. Later, she gave birth to a daughter. I saw her when I went home to visit my family during the last Chinese New Year. The family is doing well.
Speaking of the educated youth in Sandaogou, their families found ways to transfer several of them back to the city.
Most people remain the same and continue to work in the village.
Lian Xiaomin remembered that she had also saved an educated youth named Tan Rushong.
The other party had a half-brother who was only six years old that year. He was abandoned by his older siblings, but was found by Sun Xuefeng and lived in his home in Sun Xuefeng Commune.
Later, Tan Rushong also followed Shen Chunqiao to do some small black market business and made a lot of money, enough for him to buy food and support his younger brother.
When Sun Xuefeng left with Lian Xiaomin and settled in Hong Kong, he entrusted his house to his cousin.
But we still took a room and let the child named Baogen live there.
Anyway, it was empty and Chen Chunqiao would take care of everything. This would also make it convenient for Tan Rushong to visit his brother in the commune frequently.
It was half past nine, which was really late. Friends were going home one after another and could not go out together, so they left in groups.
Zhao Liming held Xiaobao, who was already fast asleep, and Yan Haixia held Xiaoluo, who was wrapped in a blanket, and the two went back first.
Anyway, Xiaomin will stay for a few more days, so there is still a chance for us to meet.
Afterwards, Xie Ling and Lin Youshu carried their children in the second group.
Lian Xiaomin took them both to the room next door where she slept, took out something from a sack, and asked Lin Youshu to put it in the car for a while.
"This is a gift for you. Take your time to read it when you get home!"
Lin Youshu thanked him repeatedly, his eyes reddening a little.
He whispered, "Master Lian, I borrowed money from you to buy my job, and I paid it back to your aunt on a monthly basis. I just paid it back, and now I owe you another big sack... I will never be able to pay you back in my lifetime..."
Lian Xiaomin patted his shoulder and told him not to take it to heart.
Then, he took out a brown paper bag, handed it over, and whispered, "This is a gift from Li Chuang, Shen Yuanchao, and Zhong Min. There is also a letter inside. Go back and read the letter and burn it immediately."
In an instant, Lin Youshu's tears rolled down.
He lowered his voice and asked, "They, were really rescued by you? Where are they going? That's great... Master Lian, I'll read the letter when I get home."
"...Please tell them a message for me, thank them. I will always remember these good brothers at the Youth League Point!"
Lian Xiaomin nodded and promised to pass it on.
She sent Lin Youshu and Xiao Lingzi out, and finally returned to the house, asking Yufang and Huang Liyuan to come over next door to get something.
It was also a sack, and there was also a backpack that was full.
They are all supplies needed for daily life, nothing too valuable.
Finally, he took out a film camera and handed it to Yufang without taking the packaging. He also gave her more than ten rolls of film.
Huang Liyuan has been working as a train conductor and has travelled all over the country for the past two years. He has gained a lot of knowledge and said he knows how to use it!
The propaganda officer of their unit took pictures with this, and he watched from the side and asked a lot of questions.
Lian Xiaomin smiled and said, "I'll give you the camera. From now on, take pictures of your family members. You can go directly to the photo studio to develop the pictures. Don't worry about the money. This is a record and a memory."
The two of them carefully put it away and put it into Yufang's bag. This thing was so expensive, probably worth a year's salary for both of them.
They asked Xiaomin when she would return home?
Lian Xiaomin thought about it and realized that the day after tomorrow was Saturday. Yufang could also go back to Sandaogou after get off work in the afternoon, and the next day would be Sunday for her to rest.
Then it’s settled then. We’ll all go back on Saturday night. Yufang will be home around six o’clock, so it’s a good time for her to say hello to her family in advance so they can be prepared.
Lian Xiaomin would go back at night when it was quiet.
Huang Liyuan and Yufang pushed the bike quietly out of the courtyard, looking forward to returning to Sandagou on the weekend so that the family could finally be reunited.
