After this meal, Tang Baozhu was able to integrate into the group of sisters-in-law. In fact, once she got in, she found that these sisters-in-law were quite easy to get along with.
They won't forget to call you when you go out to buy groceries, and they won't forget you if there's frozen fish or pork for sale in a nearby village.
After going out to buy groceries a few more times, it felt like everyone was on the same side, and then they started sharing gossip they knew.
Tang Baozhu was always the one who chimed in whenever they gossiped, exclaiming, "Wow, really? What else?..."
Because she wasn't usually one to gossip about others, and also because she was unfamiliar with everyone here and worried about saying the wrong thing. After all, even if you seem to be having a good chat with someone now, talking about other people's gossip together, they might turn around and betray you, telling the gossip they were talking about to another person involved.
As an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, even if he is not very smart, he still understands the principle of self-preservation.
After a while, everyone loved to gossip with Tang Baozhu because she wasn't the type to spread rumors. Everyone who shared gossip with her didn't have to worry about it reaching the ears of the other party involved.
So everyone felt very comfortable gossiping with her, and after a while, her popularity improved a lot.
Especially since it had already snowed when they first arrived, they hadn't stored any winter vegetables. Even if they went to buy some, they could only buy a few radishes and cabbages. So, after they became popular, they would often send a bunch of vegetables that they had stored before to their family, and their family would also send a bunch of dried vegetables that they had dried in advance.
Tang Baozhu wasn't the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others; she always reciprocated with something. Gradually, people felt that she was a reliable person and not the kind who liked to take advantage of others, so they preferred to associate with her.
In 1964, Tang Baozhu finally made up her mind to have a second child, because she had calculated that by the time they grew up, the rural work would have already ended.
The twins are already over ten years old and in the fifth grade. They've had plenty of good food since they were little, so they're as smart as ever.
They had no objection to having a younger brother or sister, since most families have at least three or four children, and two is indeed a bit few.
The parents were quite supportive of their son and daughter wanting to have more children. Since the men in the family wanted to have more kids and the children didn't object, Tang Baozhu simply took a multi-birth pill. As for how many children she would have, that would depend on luck.
It doesn't matter how many children he has, because Feng Yi's current job pays over 100 yuan a month. Even if he spends a lot, he won't be able to spend all of his 30 yuan a month.
There were relatively few tickets available, but fortunately, you could buy things with money in the village near the military base, though you had to do it secretly, not openly.
Having served in the northern army for almost three years, she was very familiar with the local specialties of the surrounding villages. She could buy things without her sisters-in-law taking her.
At first, Tang Baozhu couldn't buy these things. People in the village didn't dare to sell them to her unless they knew her well, for fear of being caught for speculation. After all, they couldn't be sure if she was someone else testing them.
Tang Baozhu's pills worked as well as ever; she found out she was pregnant after only a month, though she didn't know exactly how many babies she was carrying yet.
Feng Yi was the happiest person after Tang Baozhu became pregnant. He had already slowly accepted that he only had two children and had given up hope of having another one. Unexpectedly, just when he had given up, his wife became pregnant again.
However, Feng Yi was also worried that his two older children might feel uncomfortable, so he tried to spend more time with them.
The twins, however, found their father's behavior rather distasteful and felt it was a distraction from their playtime.
There's really no need to worry about them being unhappy. They've wanted a younger brother or sister for a long time. When they go out to play, everyone else has one, but they don't, and they've been incredibly envious. Now that Mom is pregnant with another brother or sister, they're overjoyed.
I'm still thinking about taking my younger siblings to school to show them off after they're born.
Fortunately, Tang Baozhu was unaware of their thoughts, otherwise she would have subjected them to severe torture. How could a newborn child be taken to school? It was utter nonsense.
Fortunately, Tang Baozhu is unaware of this, which is why she can stay home and rest peacefully during her pregnancy.
As time went by, Tang Baozhu's belly grew bigger and bigger, and it was already clear that she was carrying multiple pregnancies.
Feng Yi is no longer as alarmed as he was at the beginning. After all, he has experienced twins before. Although his belly looks a little bigger now than when he was pregnant with twins, he has not thought about three or four.
Tang Baozhu's pregnancy made the other family members extremely envious. Knowing that they already had twins, and seeing her belly now, they knew there were at least two more inside, making them even more envious.
However, people quickly lost their attention to Tang Baozhu's belly because things were getting increasingly chaotic outside. Even the doctors in the hospital, especially those specializing in traditional Chinese medicine, had been purged, as had the teachers.
Even many of the teachers at the twins' school were transferred. This was because they had connections, which is why they were able to leave quickly. Those without connections were simply demoted.
Then some new teachers were transferred over. Their backgrounds were quite good, but their knowledge was really lacking.
Fortunately, both Feng Yi and Tang Baozhu in the family are able to teach them, so there is no need to worry about their studies declining.
Now that college entrance exams are no longer available, all high school graduates have no further education. Especially now that jobs in the city are so hard to find, those who can't find work in the county town have all been sent to the countryside.
Now Tang Baozhu is no longer so worried about the two children. Since the time they went to the countryside, Feng Yi himself has been anxious. He would take the two children to train whenever he didn't have classes. They started with running and then started training them in military boxing as their physical fitness improved.
Tang Baozhu agreed with this. There are all kinds of places in the countryside, some good and some bad. The bad places have really harmed too many educated youth. As long as the two of them have the ability to protect themselves, I think no one will dare to do anything to them.
The two children trained with Feng Yi for two months during the summer vacation, and their fair and tender appearance turned into dark charcoal heads. Tang Baozhu felt that just looking at them was an eyesore.
