Li Jun checked on all three children and then quickly told them to take the children inside to avoid them getting chilled and harming their health.
Tang Baozhu was finally relieved to see her three children return, and she quickly fell asleep. Before the children returned, she had been trying to stay awake and had been waiting.
When she woke up again, she was back in her bedroom; it seemed that Li Jun had carried her back.
There was also a screen in front of the bed to block the wind. This was probably to prevent the wind from blowing in when the door was opened, and to prevent me from being exposed to the wind. I didn't expect it to be so thoughtful.
The children were lying next to her, and they looked quite adorable lying in a row. There were two pink blankets and one blue blanket. Without even thinking, you could tell that the two pink blankets were for her daughter.
Tang Baozhu longed to see her two daughters, so she quickly swallowed the pills to restore her health, took advantage of the absence of others to wash up in her spatial dimension, and then rushed out of the dimension as fast as she could.
I feel incredibly well now, and my body has fully recovered. I can finally hold my two daughters in my arms again!
Looking at my two daughters' beautiful little faces, they don't look like newborns at all. They're all wrinkled, which is probably because they've eaten a lot of things with spiritual energy. But even if they weren't wrinkled, they'd still be very small. I wonder if they'll grow to be as big as normal babies when they're a month old.
I figured that if I fed them more things that contained spiritual energy to nourish their bodies, it should be fine.
Tang Baozhu opened the blankets for them, wanting to check if they had any birthmarks or anything like that. After all, the two looked so alike that she was worried they would grow to look even more alike as they grew up, so it would be better to have some birthmarks to distinguish them.
Finally, they found a small red dot in the armpit of a baby girl. It should be a mole, but it was small, like a small bloodstain, like a needle prick.
She wondered where Li Jun was right now, and whether he had chosen a name for the baby yet. She couldn't wait to come up with nicknames for the children.
As if people really can't be thought about, Tang Baozhu had just been muttering about Li Jun, wondering where he had gone, when she immediately saw him come in from outside.
Li Jun came in happily from outside, then closed the door, holding a piece of paper in his hand. He didn't say anything; this wasn't the first time he'd avoided pregnant women, and he was already used to it.
When he gave birth last time, he didn't hide anything. He didn't even want to leave the bed when he slept at night. If Tang Baozhu hadn't told him not to sleep in the bed, he would have had no choice but to sleep in the recliner for a month, and he still wouldn't leave.
"Honey, I've come up with some names for our child. What do you think of these names?"
Tang Baozhu took the paper he handed her. It had three names written on it: Li Chengzhu (second brother), Li Yaoyao (third brother), and Li Lele (fourth brother).
"I think these three names are quite good, but isn't the second child's name a bit too auspicious?"
The first son was named Yaozu, and the second son was named Chengzu. How much they wanted to acknowledge their ancestors and return to their roots!
Tang Baozhu felt that through these two names, she could see Li Jun's thoughts clearly. He probably wanted to find his biological parents and return to his ancestral home. These two names represented his idea and wish.
It's a bit difficult, considering that Old Man Li picked it up on his way back from the war. The distance from the war site could be hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, and there were so many villages along the way. How could anyone know whose family threw it away?
So she didn't argue, because she knew that Li Jun wasn't sexist; he chose those two names subconsciously because he wanted to go home.
"No, I'm not planning to let you have any more children anyway. I was so scared waiting outside this time. I never want to feel the pain of losing you again. We have two sons and two daughters now, which is already very good and enough."
Li Jun was speaking his true feelings. While waiting for his wife outside the delivery room, his hands were trembling with fear, worried that something unexpected might happen.
After thinking it through, he didn't feel sad. After all, he had both a son and a daughter, and they were both good. What more could he ask for?
Tang Baozhu had no objections. If it weren't for the ancient custom of saying that many children bring many blessings, she would have thought one child would have been enough.
Although I only gave birth to two children, my output doubled, and there couldn't be anything better.
From now on, I can focus on raising these children.
“I’ll listen to you. We won’t have any more children then. Even if we don’t have any more, you can’t be lazy. Don’t forget, we already have two daughters. We’ve been saving up for their dowries since they were little. To make their lives a little easier, we still need to keep working hard.”
Li Jun has just had two daughters and is currently immersed in the excitement of having daughters, so how could he hear such words?
Just thinking about his daughter getting married when she grows up makes him feel terrible. Even though he feels terrible, he listens to his wife's words and doesn't think it's too much of an exaggeration. His daughter should be loved and cherished from a young age.
“Alright, our businesses on Xiaohuangshan are pretty much stable now. The total income is around 60,000 taels of silver a year. It seems like a lot, but with so many children in the family, we can’t favor one over the other. It seems I need to buy a few more barren mountains so that the family’s income will increase.”
“Listen to you. We don’t have any other business skills, so let’s buy more hills and fields. Now, the things we grow on the mountains don’t need to be sold by ourselves; they’re all bought directly by others. That way, we don’t have to worry about our family becoming merchants. The children we bought in the first batch are all about fifteen or sixteen years old now. If they take a liking to each other, we can help them get together. We can also let them manage the newly bought estates and barren hills. They’ll be our own trained helpers, and they’ll be more loyal to the family.”
Although raising many people is quite expensive, it's still worth it. At least when they grow up, they can help take care of the crops on the mountain, so there's no need to worry. If we buy a few more barren mountains, there won't be any manpower to manage them.
Tang Baozhu's words reminded Li Jun of his experience buying the small, barren hill near Daqingshan. Back then, he went to the market and hired two strong men to help him deal with those matters.
We didn't have any manpower at all, so we gradually got everything we needed. Now that we have so many more people, we're finally not as busy as we were at the beginning.
"I know. I heard Chunsheng say that there are indeed a few servants and maids who have taken a liking to each other, but they just don't dare to say anything."
