After returning, Zhang Lei and Luo Guangming began to assemble a team.
After the first project, some workers were emotional and not as enthusiastic and cooperative as before.
Luo Guangming simply proposed adopting a work-point recording system.
They were afraid of not making money, so they worked day after day, regardless of whether the project was profitable or not, as long as they could make money.
This reform immediately boosted people's enthusiasm, and a team of more than twenty people was quickly formed.
Zhang Lei realized that the construction team couldn't function without Luo Guangming, so he promoted him to deputy team leader, in charge of cost estimation, budgeting, and cost control, while Luo Guangming took charge of personnel management and construction.
The project started on schedule very quickly.
Luo Guangming worked on the construction site during the day and read books by the light of a kerosene lamp at night.
Lin Qiao borrowed books from the library, and he read them repeatedly, even copying down the key parts himself.
Since he couldn't draw, he learned to draw little by little by copying the pictures in the book.
If there was anything she didn't understand, she would take the book to ask Lin Chen.
Lin Chen looked at the book, indicating that he didn't know anything about it, but it looked quite interesting, so he started studying it as well.
He learns everything quickly, and he even became so engrossed in learning that he asked Luo Guangming to bring him those books as well.
The two of them would study together whenever they had free time.
In the past, Lin Chen would eagerly hold Jiang Ning to sleep at night, but now that Jiang Ning is pregnant, he can't touch her anymore, so he reads under the kerosene lamp.
Jiang Ning wasn't idle either; she continued to work on her embroidery, making some bibs out of silk fabric and then embroidering patterns of mandarin ducks and phoenixes on them.
The two were busy with their own things, but sometimes they would glance at each other and smile, which had a harmonious and loving feel to it.
Wang Xiufen often prepares medicinal meals to help with pregnancy, such as lotus seed porridge, glutinous rice and yam porridge, and chicken stewed with wolfberries. She tries to buy anything that is good for pregnant women.
Sometimes, I'd rather make two pieces of clothing for nothing, just for an elderly mother and child.
Every time she went out and passed by someone's house, the host would invite her in to sit down, but she would decline with a happy smile.
"I'm not sitting here anymore. I need to cook something delicious for my daughter-in-law when I get back! Pregnant women can't go hungry. It's good for two people to eat so that it will be digested quickly."
When Jiang Ning was three months old, Lin Chen took her to the county hospital for a check-up.
At this time, all they had was a simple ultrasound machine. The doctor's probe went back and forth on Jiang Ning's belly for a long time. She would frown and squint, which made Lin Chen extremely anxious.
"Doctor, is the child alright?"
The doctor then noticed that Lin Chen was standing behind him and slammed him down:
"Men, please wait outside."
He was outside, separated by a curtain, and couldn't see anything, which made him even more anxious. He paced back and forth.
He really wanted to slap himself. It was all his fault; he had hurt her too much.
On second thought, if he hadn't worked hard, there would have been no harvest!
Just as he was lost in thought, a scream came from inside.
He rushed in, put his arm around Jiang Ning, and patted her back.
"Don't be afraid. Is something wrong with the child? It's okay, we'll get through this together."
Jiang Ning pushed him away, unable to suppress her smile.
"Fool, it's twins."
"What's the meaning?"
"The doctor said they saw two embryos, twins. We suddenly have two babies."
Ah~
Lin Chen picked her up and spun her around twice.
"Wife, you're amazing."
Then came the sound of kisses on her face.
The doctor gave a disdainful look with a maternal smile:
"Hurry up, don't keep me from seeing the next pregnant woman."
Lin Chen gave the doctor an awkward smile and stammered, "Thank you, doctor. I'll send you some wedding candy another day."
Jiang Ning led him out and scolded him, "Silly boy, your mouth is practically stretched to the sky."
Lin Chen held her close, as if she were a delicate and fragile piece of porcelain, with an air of pride:
"Who else is as amazing as us, managing to have two babies at once? Can't I even be happy about it?!"
As the two of them walked out of the hospital, chatting and laughing, they ran into Song Jia and He Xiao.
Song Jia was helped in by He Xiao. Her face was pale and she looked weak. She also said that she felt a little dizzy.
Jiang Ning immediately asked Lin Chen to help her register. After registering, she asked He Xiao to take her to the internal medicine department as soon as possible.
After a thorough examination, the internist couldn't figure it out either, saying it might be something growing in the brain or something that had been eaten incorrectly. He prescribed some medication to try first.
Upon hearing this, He Xiao was so frightened that a cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. What did it mean to have something growing in one's brain?
"Doctor, should we go to a bigger hospital for another checkup?" he asked hurriedly.
The doctor adjusted his reading glasses: "Try taking your medicine first and see."
He Xiao took some Western medicine and helped Song Jia out.
In a pavilion outside the hospital, Jiang Ning helped Song Jia sit down and asked her when this happened.
Song Jia thought for a moment, then said weakly:
"I felt a little unwell after drinking water yesterday afternoon, but the symptoms were not obvious, so I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect to vomit today and feel dizzy."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning felt that the matter might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Why do I feel so uncomfortable after drinking a glass of water?
Unless something was added to the water.
On the other side, He Xiao leaned against a tree, almost crying.
He felt guilty and heartbroken, and didn't know what to do.
Lin Chen patted his shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, let's try to find out what the illness is first. The doctor's words are also ambiguous, don't scare yourself."
Jiang Ning chimed in, "Yeah, maybe she just ate something wrong. How about this, I'll go buy Jiajia a can of food. Her stomach isn't feeling well, a can of food will do the trick."
There happened to be a small state-run shop next to the hospital, so she went over and bought a can of food. When no one was looking, she added a little bit of spiritual spring water into it.
Regardless of what Song Jia ate, the priority is to get rid of the poison first.
Two days later, Song Jia wrote to Jiang Ning, saying that she was completely cured and had only eaten the canned food Jiang Ning had given her. She hadn't taken any medicine and said that the canned food was amazing.
Jiang Ning then went to the county town.
After receiving the order, the photo studio arranged to meet Song Jia.
"Jiajia, you need to be more careful about what you eat in the future. You can't just eat whatever other people give you."
Jiang Ning gave her some instructions.
Song Jia nodded, but still didn't understand why she felt uncomfortable after drinking water poured from the thermos.
Perhaps it was because the kettle was too old? She made up an excuse for herself.
Then she suddenly remembered that when she ran into Jiang Ning that day, she had come out from the direction of the obstetrics and gynecology department, and hurriedly asked:
Are you pregnant?
Jiang Ning nodded with a shy smile: "Yes, they're twins."
"twin?"
Song Jia exclaimed in surprise, drawing the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
She gave an awkward laugh and lowered her voice, "You guys are amazing! I've never seen twins before in my life!"
She couldn't help but daydream, twins... she wanted them too...
