First update
When Qin Yao woke up again, she was already in the hospital ward. Her body was extremely tired, but it felt as if she had just been through a sauna, as if she had unloaded all the burdens and rekindled her energy.
The first thing she thought of was to see the two little cubs. She tilted her head and saw the two little guys lying beside her.
The children closed their eyes and were sleeping soundly. Their little eyes, little noses, little mouths, all their organs were as tiny as plastic toys. They had warmth on their bodies and their little fists were clenched.
Sure enough, she was not dreaming. The two little guys, the elder one looked like her, and the younger one looked like Gu Cheng.
Qin Yao took a deep breath, and she felt relieved, as if she had overcome one problem, and her heart was filled with infinite satisfaction.
Dear little brother Gu, don’t let your brother bully you when you grow up!
Qin Yao was happy. She wanted to touch these two soft little things but she didn't dare to. They were too small and she was afraid that if she used a little force, she would break their bodies.
"Awake? I'll go wake up Xiao Cheng." Gu Cheng stayed in the hospital without sleeping all night. When day came, he finally calmed down his excited and anxious heart and took a nap on a bench in the corridor of the ward.
Liu Shuqin called him, and Gu Cheng walked into the ward. Qin Yao smiled when she saw him, "Captain Gu, have you aged more than ten years tonight? Or was it because I lay in bed for too long, sleeping for two or three days?"
There was a dark area under Gu Cheng's eyes and a circle of obvious blue slag on his chin, but his pupils were bright, which made him look energetic despite his dejection. Qin Yao sighed that it was weird. Even with this look, she actually thought he was quite mature and charming.
It must be the appearance of her youngest son that blurred her eyes.
Gu Cheng rubbed his face and sat down next to Qin Yao. He looked at her and the children with unusually gentle eyes. Just last night, he completed a transformation.
Since he became an adult, as time passed, Gu Cheng had no real sense of getting older. It was as if he was frozen at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and he felt that he had become an adult.
Now, he has his own children and has become a father. This change in identity gives him a strange sense of satisfaction.
It feels so good.
Gu Cheng did not touch Qin Yao and the child for fear of dirt. He did not take a shower last night. Now that he came to the hospital, he learned a little trick of hand washing from the doctors and nurses here. He just poured a bottle of alcohol on his hands and disinfected them with alcohol, which worked better than anything else.
After washing his hands, he came over and pinched his wife's face.
Qin Yao said disdainfully: "You've got your hands dirty again."
Not to mention that Gu Cheng didn't take a shower, she didn't take a shower either. She was particularly disgusted with herself, so much so that she didn't dare to touch the child - in fact, it was because of lack of experience that neither she nor Gu Cheng dared to touch the child. The two of them looked at their new babies like two tourists visiting a zoo, quietly watching Liu Shuqin and Shen Guixiang take care of the two tiger cubs.
Chen Guixiang raised five children and had a grandchild at an early age. She had extensive experience in taking care of children, and the whole family listened to her. She and Liu Shuqin each held one child.
She felt like a feeding tool.
The two little guys were crying for food. Qin Yao had previously thought that they were "weak, pitiful and helpless", but it turned out that they were quite enthusiastic when feeding.
No wonder they say that exerting one's best is "using all one's strength", a small amount of strength means a lot.
After staying in the hospital for two days, Qin Yao returned home to recuperate after giving birth. Gu Cheng asked for leave for her and took leave himself to stay by her side and take care of her during the period of confinement. With two adults in tow, even though there were many people in the family, taking care of two children was still a lot of work.
The main reason is that the two new parents are incompetent.
Whether it is feeding, burping, or changing diapers, all of these need to be learned, and having two children makes the difficulty doubled. The only thing to be thankful for is that the eldest one doesn't like to cry. The second one often cries, but he cries for a long time and doesn't hear any response from his "good brother" who has been with him since the womb. This makes him "unable to support himself" and there is no point in cries.
Chen Guixiang found it very novel: "Yaoyao, you loved to cry when you were a child. When you cried, your fourth brother would cry too. That's how it is when raising children. When one cries, the other children will cry too."
"But our Ruirui is different."
Little Runrun curled up there, looking like a calm and composed boss who said, "I'll just listen to my brother cry quietly."
Qin Yao felt that her son looked very much like his biological mother, but he was born with a calm and domineering aura, which really made his mother proud.
As for her youngest son Mingming, it can be said that he is the reincarnation of a monkey, with all the monkeyish qualities in his body.
Gu Cheng's appearance doesn't resemble a monkey, but his second child, who looks similar to him, is so lively that it's frightening. He likes to howl and moves around while sucking.
The two children have not yet been given a full name, so their two mothers each gave them an auspicious nickname: the eldest, Ruirui, and the second, Mingming, both of which are ordinary reduplicated nicknames.
As the biological mother, Qin Yao originally wanted to add something special, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of anything special. She just followed the biological mother and mother-in-law and called the two nicknames by their own names.
A few days after Qin Yao gave birth, Chen Baozhen gave birth to her daughter Xinxin on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Both mothers stayed at home to recuperate after the baby was born. Qin Yao even stayed in confinement for two months. After the confinement, the two good sisters were able to meet and see each other's children.
After giving birth, Chen Baozhen became much plumper than before, and her daughter Xinxin became plump and white. Her mother-in-law held her granddaughter in her arms and was reluctant to let go. She and her sister-in-law Gao Yingzi wished they could treat the little girl like an ancestor and serve her.
Her mother-in-law was originally somewhat biased towards boys, and was disappointed for two days when she learned that it was a girl. Later, when she saw that the little granddaughter was white and plump, she couldn't contain her joy. The little girl was so lovable.
"Your two sons are growing up really well." Chen Baozhen said enviously. The two sons look like one of their parents respectively, so even.
As for who her youngest daughter looks like, it’s hard to say.
Gao Jianguo and Gu Cheng stood in the yard. Gao Jianguo glanced at Gu Cheng's two sons. He was very depressed, not because of anything else, but because his daughter was "snatched away" by someone.
So much so that he has been thinking deeply about an important "biological" question these days.
"Captain Gu, logically speaking, my daughter should be the older sister."
Gu Cheng said coldly: "My youngest son was born a few minutes later than the eldest. Even if he is heavier, he is still the younger brother if he is born one second later."
"But this is not right. You see, my Baozhen was conceived earlier than your Xiaoqin. It should be that my Xinxin became a fertilized egg first, existed in the world first, and appeared in the mother's womb first. My Xinxin appeared first, and then your two children existed... So my Xinxin should be the older sister."
Comrade Gao Jianguo thought that he was thinking about a big scientific issue. Perhaps the previous way of calculating age was wrong, but no one noticed that when it comes to age, it should be based on who came into the world as a fertilized egg first.
Gu Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Captain Gu has his own melancholy in his heart. After having a child, he is happy but also has many worries. He misses the time they spent together as a couple that has disappeared.
After the vacation, Gu Cheng disliked Zhao Mingjin very much. From the very beginning, he had never thought about giving birth to a little tiger girl. It was all because of this guy. It was also his fault that he just followed the crowd.
What’s even more infuriating is the silly boy at home named Mingming, who looks like him but is silly and appears to be brainless at first glance, this silly boy! It's embarrassing for my dad.

Qin Yao went back to work at the hospital's publicity office, and Director Huang told her the good news. After half a year, the movie adapted from her novel had been completed. It would soon be shown in the county cinema, and copies of the movie were being sent to various farms and communities for broadcast.
"So fast?" Qin Yao was extremely surprised. If it were in the future, a movie would take one or two years at the fastest, or several years at the slowest, from adaptation to finding actors and deciding on roles, to shooting and editing. After Qin Yao sold it for two hundred yuan, she thought she would have to wait two or three years. Who would have known that the baby in her belly was born when the movie was already shot.
"Not fast anymore. Such a long time has passed." Director Huang shook his head. There were so many people in the film studio, all of them were full-time directors and screenwriters. They were very efficient, and it was even easier to find actors. No matter whether they were actors from a song and dance troupe or local drama troupes, they all had solid skills and could shoot movies efficiently. If they shot one more movie, they could get more subsidies, and finally they could send their movies for awards. If they won an award, that would be a huge benefit.
"Go to the cinema and watch it yourself when you have time. I heard it's quite well made. How about we go and watch it together in the office?"
"Okay."
Qin Yao learned the news and told Miao Cuiye about it. Miao Cuiye was shocked, "It's all... made into a movie?"
Qin Yao couldn't help laughing: "When you have time, go to the cinema and watch it."
Miao Cuiye: "I'm not going to the cinema. I'm going to find the projectionist I know and ask him to get me a copy of this movie."
"I asked him to put it in my hometown during the holidays."
Qin Yao burst out laughing.
To be honest, she also wanted to get a copy of the movie and keep it at home. After all, it was her first novel written in the 1970s. It was rejected, but it was miraculously made into a movie.
Qin Yao went to the cinema with people from the office to watch a movie. The movie was average, but in her opinion, it felt a bit "pretentious" and the actors all had traces of "acting". Perhaps many of them came from stage art backgrounds, and most of the actors had performed in dramas. In order for the audience to see clearly, the body movements in dramas are more exaggerated, while performances in movies and TV series do not require such "excessive effort".
But I have to admit that the film was extremely pleasing to the eye, and after watching the movie, I enjoyed the story thoroughly.
The screenwriter's adaptation skills are excellent, adding a lot of details to her story. Some changes even surprised Qin Yao, the original author.
Overall, it's a pretty good movie.
Qin Yao didn't know that what was just a "very good" movie in her eyes was extremely wonderful in the eyes of others. She designed many exciting and funny moments, which made people feel passionate and laugh from time to time. It was a relaxing and stress-relieving work, which was in sharp contrast to other movies that made people "tear up their eyes".
Throughout the ages, everyone likes to watch some light-hearted and cheerful works. This movie "Female Militia Leaf" became a hit. It is said that when a movie was shown in a commune, people from other communes walked for hours to watch it. Some people watched it once and then wanted to watch it again. t
Although the movie was a huge hit, Qin Yao did not get much actual benefit, except for the initial 200 yuan in creative fees.
No matter how good a movie is, the audience will not care who created the story or who the original author is. They only focus on who the protagonist of the movie is and how likable the actor's character is.
People who work behind the scenes have always received little attention, especially in the 1970s when information was blocked.
Qin Yao didn't know that although she had no reputation in the eyes of ordinary people, she had gained some fame in the literary and art circles.
The county cultural center invited her to work there.
