The captain's family was also very lively this year. He married two daughters-in-law, and both were pregnant. Hu Guiqin was very happy, and silently prayed in her heart that it was really the blessing of her ancestors.

She is not partial and treats all daughters-in-law equally. All daughters-in-law also respect their mother-in-law and father-in-law and they have never quarreled.

This year, there are two more people in the family, and I'm pregnant, so life is a bit tight! There's not much food, and I can barely get two meals with the coarse grains.

Everyone was very satisfied. After all, some people couldn't even have a full meal, like Mrs. Li's family.

Xia Yunge and her daughter were so thin that they looked like monsters, but Mrs. Li pretended not to see them. She kept any food for her own son and secretly gave it to him when he came back, without even thinking about giving it to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Because in Mrs. Li's eyes, daughters-in-law and granddaughters are both losers, who are not qualified to eat good food. If it is a grandson, then life will definitely be different, at least he will have enough to eat.

Of course, Xia Yunyan also had to endure the hard times. She didn't have much food to eat, and she had no kang to sleep on in such a cold weather. Yet, she was still alive in such a cold weather. She was really lucky.

Many people thought she would freeze to death, but from time to time they saw smoke coming out of her house.

In fact, Xia Yunyan was involved with another bachelor in the village, who sent her food from time to time, otherwise she would have starved to death.

Of course, they also have their advantages. Xia Yunyan is already an adult, so of course she understands. Anyway, she won't get pregnant now, so she has no objection to what they do. She just can't have children, and it's not like she doesn't have feelings. She is alone now, so she also has her own thoughts.

The rice food business in the village was pretty good before. Both the food factory and the supply and marketing cooperative placed several large orders. When the money was divided after the autumn harvest, everyone was very happy. Everyone got a few dozen yuan. After all, this was the money they made after deducting the cost and labor, which was already a good amount.

As for not trusting those who didn't participate, they must have been jealous and swearing in their hearts, but what was the point?

The opportunity was given to them, who told them not to join? Who can blame them? Is it so easy to join now? They really think that the business is their own, they can join if they want to, and quit if they want to.

When there was not enough food, the captain took the accountant away and collected all the peppers, sweet potatoes, potatoes, soybeans, peanuts and corn from several nearby villages.

Some people can't stand it, but it's useless to report it. After all, this is allowed by the higher-ups, and they just watch others make money.

Even though it's snowing heavily, people haven't stopped eating. As soon as the food is ready, someone takes it away. There is no stock left. Even if the villagers want to buy some to eat, there is not enough.

The blooming of dusk flowers is short, but in the blink of an eye, another two months have passed. Time has only left traces of the years, and it is already the Chinese New Year in less than a month.

These few days, Xiao Yichen was particularly worried about Xia Yunxuan. He felt that his wife was about to give birth in these few days. Xiao Yichen planned to take Xia Yunxuan to the hospital later, which would be safer. After all, twins were more risky.

Xia Yunxuan also wanted to go to the hospital. After all, it would be better if there were doctors in the hospital. Xiao Yichen asked Gu Beihuai and Xiao Jiajia to pack up and go to the hospital together. After all, they were twins, and he would definitely not be able to handle it all by himself.

And when he is busy, there will be no one to take care of the children and adults. This is very unsafe. If someone wants to do something to the children, it will be too late for them to regret.

After all, there are many people who steal these days, and there are also many people who steal children, not to mention that it is a boy, who wouldn't want to love him.

After they finished their breakfast, they packed up their belongings and rode on a ox cart in the village, heading slowly towards the town hospital.

It snowed and the road was slippery, so we walked slower. It usually takes about an hour, but this time it took us an hour and a half. As long as we arrived safely, no one would mind if we were a little slower.

Of course it was Wu Dayong who was driving the ox cart. As an adult, he didn't dare to let his father drive the cart as it was too dangerous.

When they arrived at the hospital gate, Xiao Yichen gave them two yuan, and Wu Dayong helped carry their belongings off the car before he left, because bullock carts were not allowed to stay here. He also asked them to notify him when they were discharged from the hospital, and he would come to pick them up whenever necessary.

A few people carried their things and rushed to the hospital. Xiao Yichen had made an appointment for the delivery room in advance, but these days no one is willing to spend money to make an appointment for the delivery room.

Several people came to the hospital lobby. Xiao Yichen told them the room number he had reserved, and the nurse took the key and led them to the room.

Xiao Yichen booked a single room because he didn't want to live with other people. There was no safety at all and it was extremely noisy. As for the question of money, he didn't care at all.

He himself had money, not to mention that his wife already had nearly 1 million in her vault. When she was just a few months pregnant, she had traded with people on the black market several times.

What does a million mean at this time? People would fight to the point of bleeding for a few cents.

Of course, this money is nothing to his wife. Her goal is to become the richest person. If she fails in business a few times, the 1 million will be gone.

The nurse opened the door. Xia Yunxuan was quite satisfied after seeing the room. At least the single room would be a little safer. As long as the door was closed, no one would run towards her.

If it is a big shop, no one knows who comes and goes, and there is no privacy at all.

Xiao Yichen asked Bei Huai and the other man to take good care of Xia Yunxuan while he went to complete the hospitalization procedures, which would start from now until she was discharged.

Xiao Yichen chose the best for everything, including the doctor, which was very expensive. Xiao Yichen paid several hundred yuan at once, and he would make up for it if it was not enough in the future.

This makes the female nurses particularly envious of those who have given birth to children. Their partners would not be willing to spend so much money on them and would definitely scold them for being spendthrifts.

The single room also has a kitchen where one can cook by themselves. Xiao Yichen pretended to go out for a while, and when he came back he was carrying a lot of bags, with his hands full of things. Xia Yunxuan knew that she got them from the space.

When it was almost noon, Xiao Jiajia started to cook. There was a coal stove inside, and Xiao Jiajia was not used to it at first.

It was Xia Yunxuan who told her not to worry, as they had time anyway, and she wasn't very hungry, so if she was hungry she could eat something to fill her stomach. Xiao Jiajia felt relieved when she heard her sister-in-law say this, and she hoped she wouldn't let her sister-in-law go hungry.

After working for more than an hour, they finally had their meal, but the food they made themselves tasted pretty good.
