When Fu Hongxing returned home that evening, Ning Jing asked him about the He family father and son.
Upon hearing the news brought by Sister Guihua, Fu Hongxing remained silent for a moment.
He originally thought that crippling the He family father and son would make them behave themselves.
But I never expected that they would do something so inhuman.
"Don't worry, I'll put in a good word."
In a situation like this, if someone had given prior notice, there's a high chance they'd be shot.
Even if they aren't executed, they'll be sent to a prison in City X.
That area is full of serious criminals, but it's a little different for prisoners like the He family father and son.
Once inside, even if you don't die, you'll be skinned alive, suffering a fate worse than death.
If the girl's immediate family members really stop caring for her, the best solution is to send her to an orphanage.
A few days later, Fu Hongxing brought back news that the girl had been taken away by her aunt's family.
He had investigated the girl's great-aunt's family. Although their family wasn't well-off, they didn't have the traditional preference for sons over daughters.
Her children have all gotten married, and her sons have all moved out. She's all alone now, so it's a good opportunity to take the girl in and raise her to keep her company.
After hearing this, Ning Jing felt relieved.
When the twins were a month old, they invited Sister Guihua's family over for a meal, which served as their one-month celebration.
When they were more than two months old, the twins had grown a lot bigger, as if blown by the wind.
Ning Jing used to be able to hold one child in one arm, but now she has to use both arms to hold one child.
Although Xiuhua wasn't home for the Lunar New Year this year, a pair of twins were added to the family, making it one more person than usual.
If Ning Jing finishes her double postpartum confinement period, it will be around the time of the Lunar New Year.
Although she couldn't do other things during her postpartum confinement, she instructed Fu Hongxing to buy a lot of New Year's goods to keep.
Knowing that the only New Year's goods available in the county town were peanuts, melon seeds, and sugar, Ning Jing specially asked Fu Hongxing to buy several kilograms of white sugar.
Nowadays, when people visit each other during the Lunar New Year, the gifts they usually bring are brown sugar wrapped in oil paper, which is tied with hemp rope and covered with a rectangular piece of red paper.
There aren't many people buying things like white sugar.
However, since Ning Jing asked Fu Hongxing to buy it, Fu Hongxing naturally wouldn't refuse.
Besides white sugar, Fu Hongxing also lost six jin of meat with ribs.
Two sets of pig offal were also taken. Ning Jing didn't lift a finger; she just talked about it and got Xiu Chun, Siya, and Xiao Feng to make them together.
Braised pork offal is fragrant enough that it doesn't need to be stir-fried with garlic leaves.
This year, all the fish distributed to the village were kept in the large water tank outside the kitchen. Only when a fish was about to die would it be taken out, killed, and eaten.
There are still several fish in the tank now, leisurely swishing their tails!
The family already had chickens. When Ning Jing was working at the farm, she had thought about killing all the chickens, since she could just buy chicken from the village if she wanted to eat it.
But now that she's no longer working at the farm, it's better for her to raise chickens at home herself.
Vegetables are also grown in the old house, so the dishes for the New Year are very plentiful.
The children's snacks, however, are rather monotonous.
So, after her double postpartum period, Ning Jing carefully washed herself thoroughly.
After washing and drying the rice, I started frying the rice to make rice cakes.
