On the afternoon of the day that Yu Xiangnian gave birth to her child, Song Huaiqian and his family received a call from Zhao Ruozhu.
When they heard that it was a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, the old couple were so shocked and happy that they were speechless for a long time!
But then they heard that Cheng Jingmo had gone to the border and his return date was uncertain, and the old couple felt extremely guilty.
At that time, Yu Xiangnian should have been brought to Beijing to give birth! How could a woman give birth without her husband being able to go to the hospital?
Now Cheng Jingmo has a temporary mission, which has disrupted the original plan.
Lin Yunyi asked for leave from school the next day and took the train to Nancheng again.
It just so happened that Yu Xiangnian was discharged from the hospital today, and the family returned to the family compound.
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Comrade Yu, you are so good at giving birth. You gave birth to two children at once, a boy and a girl!"
All the family members who came to visit Yu Xiangnian in the family compound said these words with envy.
"He looks a lot like Deputy Captain Cheng!"
"I look like Comrade Yu!"
"No way! Look at his forehead, it's so broad. He looks just like Deputy Commander Cheng!"
"That mouth doesn't look like Deputy Commander Cheng, it looks like Comrade Yu!"
"And these fingers, so long and thin, just like Comrade Yu's!"
“······”
Listening to the family members' discussions, Yu Xiangnian looked at the two babies on the bed. Why couldn't she tell who they looked like?
However, these two babies change every day.
It was black and purple on the day it was born, but now it gets whiter every day.
The two children are big eaters. They can finish a 500-gram bag of milk powder in just a few days.
Lin Yunyi asked Song Huaiqian to find some milk coupons and send them to her. Whenever the Yu family had the chance, they would find someone to exchange them for the milk coupons.
The two hens at home were slaughtered and given to Yu Xiangnian to nourish his body.
Babies in the confinement period are easy to take care of. Except for a few humming sounds when they are hungry or have diarrhea, they basically sleep all the time.
In mid-October, when Yu Xiangnian came out of confinement, both children weighed 8 kilograms.
Song Huaiqian and Lin Ye also came. This time they wanted to bring Yu Xiangnian and the child back to Beijing.
It is easier to take care of the whole family when they are together.
On the day of their departure, only Zhao Ruozhu and Yu Xiangguo were there to see them off.
"Go ahead. I'll feel more at ease if you stay with them." Zhao Ruozhu said with red eyes.
Yu Xiangnian asked, "Where's my dad?"
In fact, she just wanted to know the current situation of Cheng Jingmo and the others.
"I haven't seen your dad for over a week." Zhao Ruozhu comforted her, "Don't worry, Cheng Jingmo and the others will be fine."
Lin Yunyi held the eldest child, Yu Xiangnian held the second child, Song Huaiqian, Lin Ye, and Xiaojie carried large and small bags on their backs and in their hands, and boarded the train to Beijing again.
Zhao Ruozhu stood on the platform and waved at the train, "We're here, call home!"
Yu Xiangnian choked up, "Mom, go back, I will."
Lin Ye was also choking up, "Dad, is a war about to start?"
Song Huaiqian said in a deep voice: "Xiaoye, don't talk nonsense outside!"
He works in a central government ministry and knows some inside information. This battle will probably have to be fought!
As a father, he had just recognized his son when his son went to the battlefield. He felt even more upset!
At this time, Cheng Jingmo and his team had been active in the dense forest for more than a month.
A regiment may sound like a lot of people, but in such a vast primeval forest, if it weren't for communication via radio, they wouldn't have run into their comrades.
Yu Xiangyang cursed as he pulled a leech, over ten centimeters long, from the back of his neck. "Fuck! I'm going to roast you!"
It was unknown when the leech crawled onto Yu Xiangyang's neck, and its entire body was swollen from sucking.
As soon as Yu Xiangyang pulled it off, a lot of bright red blood came out from the place where his neck was bitten.
Cheng Jingmo quickly took out some medicine powder and sprinkled it on his wound. "Look around and see if there's anything crawling under his clothes."
Yu Xiangyang casually flipped through his clothes and said, "No."
Cheng Jingmo said, "Be careful. If you keep going like this, there won't be enough medicine powder left."
Yu Xiangyang was furious and cursed, "Damn it! If you want to fight, just do it now. They're bitten by bugs and leeches every day. I really want to kill them!"
Cheng Jingmo asked: "What is your mission?"
Yu Xiangyang: “…”
His mission was not to fight, but to understand the terrain and provide intelligence to the headquarters.
The forest was full of towering trees that blocked out the sun. Even though the sun had just set, the forest was already so dark that you couldn't see anything more than ten meters away.
Cheng Jingmo and his group are a group of five people. There is not even a cave here, so they can only take a nap leaning against the tree trunks at night.
Leaning against tree trunks is also unsafe. Not to mention mosquitoes and leeches, there are sometimes even poisonous snakes.
Everyone hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.
"You guys take a rest, I'll be on duty," said Cheng Jingmo.
"Deputy Cheng, it's my turn to be on duty today!" said a soldier.
Cheng Jingmo said, "I can't sleep anyway, I'll just be on duty, you guys rest!"
Yu Xiangyang said dissatisfiedly: "You stay up all night, are you trying to cultivate some invincible magic? Tonight, you must rest!"
Cheng Jingmo didn't want to waste everyone's time arguing here, "Okay, okay, I'm going to rest! Stop talking, everyone rest!"
Cheng Jingmo leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes, and imagined what his daughter looked like.
There was only a white and soft image in his mind, and Cheng Jingmo couldn't imagine what his daughter looked like.
They are now over a month old. How big are they now? How long is their hair? How much milk do they need to drink every day? How many times do they cry every day? ······
Suddenly, he felt a cool sensation behind his ear, and Cheng Jingmo raised his hand to touch it.
"Fuck!" He couldn't help but curse.
He pulled the leech crawling behind his ear with all his strength and slammed it heavily to the ground.
Because their sleeves and trouser legs were all tied up tightly, the insects could not get in and could only attack their exposed necks and behind the ears.
When Yu Xiangyang learned that Cheng Jingmo had been bitten by a leech, he angrily said, "How can there be such a disgusting thing in the world!"
Cheng Jingmo replied: "Biodiversity."
"What?!" Yu Xiangyang had never heard of what biodiversity was.
Cheng Jingmo said: "Read more books when you have free time, instead of always being silly and climbing trees and riding bicycles!"
In fact, he didn't see this word in a book, but Yu Xiangnian told him.
Yu Xiangyang muttered, "You despise me now? Did I despise you before when you couldn't even write your name?!"
Cheng Jingmo added: "Don't always talk about the past. Look at things from a developmental perspective."
Yu Xiangyang: “…”
After a moment's silence, he said, "Shut the fuck up! You're more disgusting than a leech!"
Cheng Jingmo whispered back: "You're disgusting too!"
