"Did your sister-in-law give birth?" Yang Yulan had visited her parents' home two days ago, and according to calculations, she should have given birth. But Feng Guizhi was busy with something and forgot to ask, so she only remembered now.
"It's born?" Chen Xiuxiu asked in surprise.
She knew about Yang Yulan's return to her parents' home, but she didn't think much of it. Counting the days, it seemed like the due date had indeed arrived. However, perhaps because she wasn't around to see her, it felt like she hadn't been pregnant for long:
"It felt pretty fast. It feels like I haven't been pregnant for long. Boy or girl?"
"She's born," Yang Yulan replied with a smile. "It's a girl. She weighs a full five kilograms. When I held her, she felt like a small weight."
"When I went there before, my mother and Yugui both talked about hoping to have a daughter. Now their wish has come true. They both said they wanted a little girl as well-behaved and caring as Baoya."
Feng Guizhi already liked Baoya, and now she was happy to hear what Yang Yulan said. She nodded and said, "My daughter is good, my daughter is good. No matter if she looks like Baoya or not, she is always a sweet and caring little girl."
"Yes." Yang Yulan had a relaxed smile on her face.
Her mother's wish for the past two years has been to hold her grandson in her arms, and now she has finally achieved her wish. When she went to see her the day before yesterday, her mother was holding the child and didn't want to let go. The smile on her face couldn't be stopped, and she felt happy seeing it too.
Once there is a child at home, it will be much more lively, and she won't have to worry about the old couple feeling lonely at home.
Afterwards, Feng Guizhi asked a few more questions about the health of Yang's father and mother. Soon, dinner was ready, and there was no more talk about these things. The family started to eat.
......
A few days later, Song Jianshe came back with a lot of food. After being cooked by Feng Guizhi, the whole family was very happy to eat it.
This meal consisted of stewed pork in sweet and sour sauce, lean meat fried with potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a pot of soft and sticky pumpkin soup. Every dish was delicious and satisfied the whole family. After dinner, everyone's stomachs were full.
Now it has been more than half a year since the report was made, so after dinner, Song Jianshe took the food packed by Feng Guizhi to the cowshed as before.
Zhao Rongsheng hadn't seen Song Jianshe for a while. This time he stopped him and asked him questions for a long time. Song Jianshe didn't say anything.
I answered them one by one without any impatience.
However, when some words were on the tip of his tongue, he hesitated for a moment and finally did not say them.
Zhao Rongsheng didn't notice anything unusual about Song Jianshe and continued to talk to him happily. However, he still had to consider his identity and was worried about being seen, so he soon asked Song Jianshe to go back.
After saying goodbye to them, Song Jianshe looked outside cautiously, and finally his figure disappeared into the night and headed home.
After returning home, the kerosene lamp in the main room was still on, and Feng Guizhi was sitting in the room waiting for Song Jianshe. The dim kerosene lamp was on, and Feng Guizhi sat in the front room, head bowed, sewing her schoolbag.
Song Jianshe went over as soon as he saw it, and briefly told Feng Guizhi about the situation in the cowshed: "Aunt Jiang is in much better health now. Uncle Zhao said that some of her old ailments have rarely recurred... Xiaobei is still learning from Uncle Xu..."
After listening, Feng Guizhi nodded. As long as their bodies could still hold on, it would be a good thing.
"What about over there?"
Song Jianshe knew that Feng Guizhi was asking about things in the county town, so he continued talking.
He has not been idle in the past six months and has been working hard to make money. He sold all the things Shen Yibei gave him at a good price. The money he made from selling things in the past six months alone is a considerable amount.
Combined with their previous savings, they are getting closer to their goal of moving to the county town.
In fact, Feng Guizhi had saved enough money to buy a job and move her family there. However, she was a little worried about Zhao Rongsheng and Jiang Qiuli in the cowshed.
Besides, after all, she has lived here for so long, and she would be more or less reluctant to leave, and she also needs to give her family some buffer time, so Feng Guizhi plans to take it slow and not rush.
Thinking of this, Song Jianshe looked up at Feng Guizhi and told her a piece of news he had just heard: "Mom, I heard a little rumor these days, saying that..."
Seeing Song Jianshe's serious expression, Feng Guizhi guessed that it was not a simple matter. She did not say anything and waited for what would happen next.
Song Jianshe unconsciously lowered his voice: "It is said that some people who were sent to the cowshed have been taken back."
Hearing this news, Feng Guizhi was stunned for a moment: "Really?"
Song Jianshe nodded: "Listen to a
What the reliable brother said, although I can’t be sure it’s 100% true, but it’s almost right. And…”
"I heard it not only from him, but also from many other people."
"That's a good thing," Feng Guizhi said sincerely. Then she remembered something and asked, "Have you told your Uncle Zhao about this?"
"I haven't said it yet. After all, it's just a rumor." If it's true, it's of course a good thing. I'm just afraid that if it's false, they will be disappointed.
Moreover, although some people who had been sent down to the countryside were brought back, it did not mean that all of them would have this opportunity. So today, Song Jianshe hesitated for a while, but in the end, he said nothing.
Feng Guizhi nodded, agreeing with his approach: "You did the right thing." It's best not to talk about it until you are 100% sure.
However, this incident already represents a signal. She believes that it won't be long before Zhao Rongsheng and his group will have their grievances cleared.
"It's getting late, go back to bed." After saying this briefly, Feng Guizhi didn't stay any longer. She packed up her needlework and got up to go back to the house.
At this moment, Tiantian was sleeping soundly in the east room, and she could also sleep peacefully.
This time, Song Jianshe stayed at home for a few more days. It happened to be summer vacation, Li Qingyan didn't have classes, and Yuanbao hadn't started school yet, so the family could spend more time together.
During the day, he took Tiantian out for a stroll, but Tiantian had so much fun that she didn't want to go home.
Moreover, Tiantian was dressed neatly when she went out in the morning, but when Song Jianshe brought her back in the evening, her clothes were messy, her shoes were dirty, and even the hair on her head was stood up, making her look like she had just had a fight.
Li Qingyan scolded Song Jianshe helplessly: "As a father, you've turned a good daughter into a tomboy."
"I'm asking Tiantian to move around more. You're getting bored staying at home every day, right, Tiantian?" Song Jianshe said, turning to Tiantian and asking while holding her little hand.
Tiantian didn’t know if she understood, but she nodded her head cooperatively.
"Look, my daughter has agreed." Song Jianshe said proudly to Li Qingyan.
Li Qingyan shook her head and reached out to wipe the sweat off Tiantian's forehead. "Yes, yes, yes, no matter what you say, she won't agree. Take her to have fun. Now this girl only sees you as her best father."
Song Jian
She didn't deny it and smiled happily: "My daughter, of course she has eyes for me as her father. Right, my sweet girl."
Tiantian showed the few teeth she had just had straightened, clapped her hands and laughed happily.
......
The next afternoon, the children went to play on the hill behind the house. They had practiced the trick many times and were now very good at it, with fewer failures.
On the first day Song Jianshe returned, Yuanbao dragged him to watch it several times, and then forced him to listen to the principle.
The little ones were happy after hearing this. They had been playing for so long, and although they still felt it was great and they liked it, the novelty had worn off, so the next few days the little ones started running around and playing in the back mountain.
As luck would have it, not long after the children of the Song family arrived at the back mountain, they ran into Liu Dazhu and two children from the Yuejin Production Brigade.
The people in the Old Song family didn't want to pay any attention to him, so they just pretended not to see him and walked away. Baoya only had the Old Song brothers in her mind now, so when she saw Liu Dazhu, she didn't react. She lowered her head and continued walking behind Tianen.
Seeing so many people, especially the seniors Bowen and Boyu, Liu Dazhu didn't dare to say anything and just watched from the side. After they all walked over, he hesitated for a few seconds and quietly followed.
"Brother, second brother, do you think we can catch a pheasant today?" Yun Duo asked as she walked slowly while pulling Bao Ya.
Bowen: "If you're lucky, you might be able to catch it."
When they came here yesterday, they saw pheasant feathers on the ground, so they knew there must be pheasants in this area. They estimated that the pheasants would come again today, so they came here to wait and see.
"Good luck? If it depends on luck, you should ask Sister Xiaobao. Sister Xiaobao has the best luck." Yuanbao said on the side.
"Sister Xiaobao, do you think we can still catch a pheasant today?"
Baoya thought about it seriously, but it seemed that it wouldn't work, so she shook her head truthfully.
"No?" Yuanbao frowned in frustration, then continued, "Sister Xiaobao, you're wrong. You should have said we can find it."
Baoya blinked confusedly and looked at Yuanbao, not quite understanding what she was saying.
"It's okay. Anyway, I think we can catch a pheasant today, then ask my dad to pluck the feathers, and ask grandma to give us some hand-rolled shredded pork noodles.
When he talked about it, Yuanbao couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He hadn't eaten for a long time, and he was really anxious.
Baoya is also the same. The two little foodies in the Song family are now moving in unison.
Soon, several children started looking for it. However, it was a waste of time for everyone to look together, so Bowen divided everyone into two teams, one team in each direction, which would be faster.
After the division, Bowen, Wenzhi, Tianen, and Baoya were on one team, while Wenjie, Yuanbao, and Yunduo were on the same team with Boyu. Boyu went to the right to search, while Bowen and the others went to the left.
After a while, Bowen actually saw the pheasant's tracks, and the little ones quickly chased after it. However, Baoya was still young and couldn't run very fast, so she couldn't keep up with her brothers.
"Brother, you...you guys go, little...sister Bao and I will wait here...for you." Tian'en saw that Baoya could not catch up, so he stopped on his own initiative and said to Bowen in front.
Bowen looked around to make sure there was no danger, then nodded and chased forward for a while. However, he didn't intend to chase too far, so he kept a certain distance from Baoya Tianen and the others.
