This time it really was twin daughters. The couple held their two soft, cuddly little girls, their eyes welling up with tears of joy.
"Honey, we finally have a daughter."
Lu Yuan flashed a smile, revealing a set of white teeth. "Yes, we finally have a daughter. We won't have any more children."
The couple were so overjoyed that they didn't pay attention to what they were saying, which puzzled the three brothers standing nearby.
"Mom and Dad, didn't you already have a daughter?"
Why did you use the word "finally"?
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue were both taken aback. They exchanged a glance and realized it was time to lay their cards on the table.
Lu Yuan coughed lightly and said, "Well, actually, Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu are your younger brothers, not your younger sisters..."
"What? Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu are younger brothers?" Liu Bao exclaimed in surprise.
The other brothers were also surprised.
Sanbao immediately straightened his face. "Dad, how can you joke about something like this? Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu are clearly boys. What kind of image would it be if we raised them as girls?"
Sanbao's stern face was quite intimidating; his imposing presence seemed even stronger than that of Lu Yuan, his father.
Lu Yuan hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, listen to our excuses, no, listen to our explanation."
"you say!"
"Well, it's not that many families who want a son raise their daughters like sons. I think it's the same in reverse. If you want a daughter, you have to raise your son like a daughter. And it turns out that it really works."
absurd!
Sanbao felt that his parents were obsessed with having a daughter. Luckily, they actually had a daughter this time. Otherwise, they would have continued to raise Xiaoba and Xiaojiu as daughters. It doesn't matter much now that they are young, but if they grow up, their personalities might be formed, and they might even think they are girls, which could affect them for the rest of their lives.
However, my parents are very eager to have a daughter, and as elders, they can only help correct her even if she does something outrageous, and it's not appropriate for them to lecture her.
Sanbao sighed inwardly. With such an unreliable elder in the family, how could they manage without him? His younger siblings wouldn't be able to rely entirely on their parents in the future; they would have to depend on him.
He said, "I'll change all of Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu's clothes, cut their hair, and replace all their toys too."
"Change, change, change them all."
Seeing that his sons accepted the fact so quickly, Lu Yuan hurriedly agreed.
From that day on, Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu's outfits were completely changed. They no longer wore various little dresses every day, and the little tufts on their heads were gone, replaced by smooth little bald heads.
The toys they played with changed from various cute plush dolls to toy cars and toy guns.
Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu simply cannot accept this.
"I want to wear a pretty dress."
"I want my pink doll."
"I want... Waaaaah..."
"Waaaaah..."
Whenever this happened, Sanbao would give Lu Yuan a cold look, and Lu Yuan could only guiltily coax the two little ones.
Fortunately, the older brothers still dote on Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu. They are probably used to spoiling their younger sisters. Their patience remains the same. With everyone's deliberate guidance, Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu have finally started to accept the same clothes and toys as their older brothers.
It was around this time that many people in the village learned that Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu were boys.
"Oh dear, so A Yuan's family doesn't have seven sons and four daughters, but rather nine sons and two daughters."
"Yes, nine sons and two daughters, no one else is as blessed as them."
“Ah Yuan must have been running to the back mountain a lot. I’ll have to go and pray there again later.”
“Let’s go together, I’ll go pray too.”
"You don't even have a daughter-in-law, what's the point of going to pay respects?"
"I, I, I can't pray to myself."
The woman who said this was almost forty years old, and her words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.
"Haha, sure, you can do it, but I don't know if your husband can."
Everyone was joking and laughing, having a great time, but the fun was yet to come.
This time, Lu Yuan and his wife were overjoyed to have a daughter, and decided to throw a big banquet.
However, not wanting to be too ostentatious, Lu Yuan still took the opportunity to go up the mountain and hunt a wild boar, hosting a three-day feast under the guise of eating "pig-killing dishes".
Worried that three days had passed and that a lot of wild boars had been hunted, several were sent to the commune and county to silence the gossip.
He didn't hunt the wild boar on the mountain; he released it from his spatial dimension.
There are at least four or five hundred wild boars in the space now, each one plump and strong, weighing over four or five hundred pounds.
Wild boars are highly prolific, giving birth to a dozen or even twenty piglets in a single litter. Lu Yuan had no choice but to sell all the sows in his spatial storage.
The number stopped increasing after that.
The three-day feast truly delighted the entire team.
After eating meat for three consecutive days, the members experienced for the first time what it meant to be greasy.
"Life is so good now, I actually feel tired of eating meat."
Many people have expressed this sentiment.
Lu Guoan and Zhang Yongan smiled as they watched everyone's satisfied expressions, secretly thinking to themselves, "This is just the beginning; the real good days are yet to come."
On this joyous and happy day, we welcome the day of the college entrance examination.
There were quite a few people from Changhe Brigade who signed up for the college entrance examination this time, a total of 14, mainly educated youth.
Not many of the older educated youth from He Shenghua and Hong Xia's group signed up; only two did, one of whom was Yu Shaoheng. The majority of the rest were newer educated youth who arrived later.
Although Yu Shaoheng is the manager of a pig farm and earns a decent monthly salary of over a hundred yuan, his family certainly wouldn't want him to spend his whole life as just a pig farm manager.
She had already registered for the college entrance examination, so Wei Wenshu was naturally expected to do the same. The couple probably planned to take the exam together and return to Beijing.
Not only Yu Shaoheng registered for the college entrance examination, but Xiao Fan did too.
If a public servant like Xiao Fan were to get into university, he would lose his position, but he would still receive his salary. Upon graduation, he would be given a higher position.
The day before the college entrance examination, Lu Yuanchao drove his truck to take the candidates from Changhe Brigade and Xiao Fan to the county.
Several days ago, Lu Yuan asked Feng Tao to book eight or nine rooms at the guesthouse. Rooms at the guesthouse are in high demand now, and you can't book them at the last minute if you don't book early.
No one had considered these things beforehand. It was only after arriving and seeing that many candidates couldn't book rooms that they realized how farsighted Lu Yuan had been.
I felt a surge of gratitude in my heart.
After the college entrance examination, everyone relaxed, but Lu Yuan became busy.
News came from the port city that orders were increasing, and many of their previous manufacturers were already running out of stock. This meant that they needed to find more manufacturers to cooperate with or for their existing factories to expand production.
Lu Yuan decided to take a two-pronged approach.
During this period, he traveled around contacting factories, and considering transportation issues, he mainly traveled to Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Both of these places can be reached by sea, making transportation relatively convenient.
He took Mo Ziyang and Lu Xiaojun with him. He took Mo Ziyang with him to train him to be able to stand on his own in the future, and he took Lu Xiaojun with him simply to let him see the world.
Now that we've accepted this younger brother, we should teach him as much as we can.
After a busy month away from home, Lu Xiaojun finally received news from his family: his university admission letter had arrived—to Tsinghua University.
Lu Yuan was overjoyed and waved his hand, "Xiao Jun, let's go home!"
