Chapter 279 The Ding Family Boys



Not long after Li Cuiying and Gu Zhenjiang returned, the team became busy.

When Jiang Mengxue has nothing to do at the clinic, she will go and help Gu Tengfeng record his work points.

The Feiyue Brigade has divided the land in advance. If they need to plow the soil today, an area will be directly marked out according to how much land they need to plow to get full work points. As long as they finish their work, they can get full work points.

As long as the scorer comes to check that your work is done correctly, you can allocate the rest of the time yourself. If you want to do more, or help your family with work, no one will care if you go home and do your own things.

In order to be able to go home early to do their own chores, some people will work harder during the day. Anyway, as long as they finish their own work, they can get full work points, so there is no need to waste time.

Of course, there are also many people who cannot work as fast as others and can only earn eight or nine work points a day, or even six or seven work points.

There are only eight full work points for women, so the corresponding work is a little easier than that for men. After all, there is a huge gap in strength between men and women.

Gu Zhenjiang would help with some work when he was free, but he would only be responsible for the easy logistical work and would not be allowed to go to the fields.

After all, his household registration is not in the Feiyue Brigade now. He has a city household registration, a supply chain and a pension every month.

Doing some work in the countryside now is just a way to kill time.

Because I remembered that Ding Laosan's wife had recently come out of confinement.

Jiang Mengxue took some time out to visit his home and told his family that she would come back to see the child when the time comes.

When we arrived at the Ding family, there were no adults at home. There were only two children of a few years old looking after the newborn baby.

They had seen Jiang Mengxue. They saw Jiang Mengxue walking out of the house that night after their mother gave birth to their little brother.

Although it was dark at that time, the moonlight was very bright. They also heard their grandparents say that if it weren't for the doctor's skill, his mother might have died.

Although they are young children, they have also experienced the death of family members. They do not understand what death means, but they also know that it means they will never see their parents again.

Moreover, after the mothers of some of their friends died, their fathers remarried stepmothers. Their grandparents and father all liked the children born by their stepmothers, so the children born before and after were like little cabbages, not having enough to eat or wear warm clothes. They had the worst life among all their friends.

In the minds of the two little guys, if they lost their biological mother and their biological father married them a stepmother, they would become cabbages that no one would care about.

This is the savior recognized by both parents, and he is also the best person in the eyes of the two little kids.

Seeing that the two brothers were only a little girl, Jiang Mengxue stayed at home to look after her brother obediently and did not run around. When she could no longer bear it, the two brothers would just go crazy in the yard for a while, and then she would run back to the kang to look after her brother.

Jiang Mengxue chatted with them for a while and learned the names of the two little guys.

Ding Dachao, Ding Erchao, and the newborn was named Ding Sanchao.

No one in my family had much education, so the names we gave them were very simple and easy to understand.

The word "chao" here means to surpass, to surpass one's parents and become a more powerful person.

Jiang Mengxue looked at the little guy who had just woken up and was lying on the kang. He didn't cry or make a fuss, but just stared at Jiang Mengxue with his big eyes wide open.

Jiang Mengxue knew that the child was still young and his eyesight was not well developed. Although he was staring at people, he could not see clearly.

Da Chao and Er Chao loved this little brother very much and couldn't help but hold his hands with their little hands and play with them.

"Your parents are working in the fields? What if your brother gets hungry or has diarrhea? Can you help him?"

Dachao nodded. He is five years old and his second brother is three years old. It is okay for him to change and wash his younger brother's diapers.

“If my little brother is hungry, I put him in a basket and carry him to the fields for my mother to feed him.

I can change and wash my brother's diapers, and I can also coax him to sleep. My mother says that my brother and I are amazing.

But I have to go to the fields to help with the work after a while, so I will leave my second brother at home to look after my third brother."

Although Dachao is only five years old, he can still pull weeds, or go up the mountain to collect pig grass and firewood.

It is usually his job to feed the chickens and pigs at home. His parents go out to work in the fields early in the morning and come back late at night, so he is the only one who has to take care of all the housework at home.

There is no other way around this. If grandparents don't have to work, they can take care of their grandchildren at home.

But in this day and age, every family has many children, and when Ding Laosan heard the name, he knew that he was the third child in the family.

But what was not mentioned is that he has a younger sister and two younger brothers.

My youngest brother is not married yet, and my older sons and daughters have all started their own families. Now I have to make more efforts for my youngest son.

When the children get married, Mrs. Ding will be able to do housework and take care of the children at home.

Sometimes the older daughters-in-law in rural areas always complain that their mother-in-law has never helped them take care of their children, but has helped the youngest son take care of his children.

But this is also a helpless move. The eldest son can have grandchildren if he gets married as early as fifteen or sixteen years old.

Maybe the nephew is older than the uncle.

There's a huge age gap between the eldest and the youngest.

The eldest grandson is about the same age as the youngest son. What can the old couple do if they have to work?

It is difficult for an old man to support the family alone while taking care of the children at home.

There's really no way to have it both ways.

Jiang Mengxue had nothing to do, so she picked up Ding Sanchao and coaxed him in her arms.

I coaxed him to sleep before getting up and leaving.

Seeing that Jiang Mengxue was about to leave, Ding Dachao acted like a little adult and wanted to see her out.

"Doctor, is my third brother in good health? I heard from adults that some children with poor health cannot grow up. Can my third brother be raised?"

Although he is young, he can understand what adults say.

Some adults even think that children don’t understand anything and don’t avoid them when talking to them.

But in fact, they know it clearly.

Jiang Mengxue felt amused when she saw a child's face pretending to speak like an adult.

"Don't worry, your brother is in good health. As long as you take good care of him, he will be able to play with you next year."

After comforting the two children, Jiang Mengxue went home to cook.

Now people have started working in the fields and every household has resumed eating three meals a day.

Jiang Mengxue has been craving big pot stews lately.

Stir-fry ginger and chopped green onion in a pan, add spare ribs and pork belly and stir-fry until fragrant, then add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and various seasonings.

Then add the dried beans that have been soaked in advance.

Finally, add a circle of pancakes along the edge of the pot. The pancakes dipped in the soup are so delicious.

Especially when using a large iron pot on a wood-burning stove like in the countryside, the taste will be even more fragrant.

After the lunch was ready, I gave a bowl to my uncle and aunt first.

After returning home, I waited for my second uncle and aunt to arrive before having dinner together.
