Wang Jianguo stays at home, not only can he cook, take care of the children, and clean the yard inside and out, but he can also manage the farm work in the fields in an orderly manner.
This kind of leisurely life with someone to rely on and nothing to do is really comfortable, no different from the Empress Dowager.
However, Huang Yuelan knew that people had to have a long-term vision and not just look at what is in front of their eyelashes.
Born in adversity, die in comfort.
If Wang Jianguo just enjoys this leisure time without thinking about making progress, it will delay his future and he will have less hope for the future.
By then, my own difficult life will be secondary; the most important thing is that my children will also suffer.
So as soon as she was out of confinement, Huang Yuelan started to let Wang Jianguo return to the army.
Wang Jianguo was reluctant to leave and wanted to stay for a few more days, but his wife seemed to not want him to stay even for an hour and had already packed his luggage for him early.
"Are you so eager for me to leave early?" Wang Jianguo asked.
Huang Yuelan: "Don't think too much. I wish you could stay at home so I don't have to do anything. But the army is not like other units. We have to follow the rules. Go home early. I'll be at home with you. Don't worry."
"Then I will go back early. If you encounter any problems, remember to write to me and I will come back as soon as possible. If it is urgent, you can use the brigade headquarters' phone number and call our company directly." Wang Jianguo has already told Huang Yuelan the army's phone number in case of emergency.
Huang Yuelan knew that the company’s phone was not a place to talk about trivial matters at home. If the line was always busy, it would delay the transmission of important information, which would be disastrous.
"Don't worry, I'll call you if there's an emergency." Huang Yuelan comforted Wang Jianguo.
Although he was reluctant, Wang Jianguo knew that he had to rush back.
Just as my wife said, the army is not the village. You can come and go as you please. The army is the place where discipline is most important. Moreover, the leaders are very good to me, and I cannot let them down.
For the sake of the country, his own future, and of course for his family, he must go back early.
He now has eight sons! Although he is not the officer with the most children in the army, he has the most children among his peers.
As a man and a father, he must be responsible and cannot just sit back and relax. He must set an example for his eight sons and build a kingdom for himself. He cannot let them grow up with nothing and just inherit a few shabby houses on the mountain.
After Wang Jianguo left, Huang Yuelan returned to her normal life full of chaos.
Wang Aiguo and his brothers are at the age when dogs and cats dislike them. The sixth, seventh and eighth children are still little babies who just came out of confinement. Not to mention the fourth and fifth children, who have just learned to run and are running around everywhere. In short, none of them are worry-free.
During the winter and summer vacations, her two younger brothers, Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu, could help take care of the children, but after school started, they all went to the town's middle school and came back once a week. Huang Yuelan was the only one looking after her eight sons.
"Aiguo, help me get the diaper over here, your little brother has pooped." Huang Yuelan was holding Xiaoqi and feeding her when she suddenly smelt a foul odor. Sure enough, she opened the diaper and saw that it was full of poop.
Wang Aiguo: "Okay, mother." Wang Aiguo kindly helped and brought over a clean urine ring.
Wait until the seventh one is cleaned up and then replace him with a new one.
"Mom, my little brother's poop stinks!" said the eldest brother.
The second child: "I'm almost fainted by the stink, run!"
I had just changed the seventh child's urine ring when the eighth child started crying again.
After finishing the work, I still have to cook, wash clothes and rings for the children.
Although she did not have to work hard in the production team like the other wives in the village, she felt that her life was also very hard and not any easier than others.
Before, she had thought about trying again to have a daughter, but now, even if she was given ten times the courage, she would not try again.
She is already busy as hell now. If two or three more come, she will simply not be able to survive.
At the request of the villagers, team leader Fan Ming prepared to find Huang Yuelan to discuss building a primary school in the village.
The school building is there, the only thing missing is a teacher.
Everyone in the village was willing to let Huang Yuelan be a teacher because she was well educated, had good handwriting and painting skills, and was a rare all-rounder.
Everyone believes that as long as she becomes a teacher, the learning level of the students in the village will definitely improve.
When team leader Fan Ming came into the yard, he saw several older children chasing chickens for fun. The chickens were chased everywhere, sometimes flying onto firewood, sometimes onto the roof, and sometimes onto the wall, and they were giggling.
There were three of them lying in the crib. One was biting his fingers, biting them, crying, and then biting them again. Another one was crying loudly, and another one was snoring in the noise. I don’t know how he could fall asleep.
There were two others, probably the fourth and fifth children in their family, playing in the mud. Their originally clean clothes had all turned grey and covered with mud, including their faces.
"Where is your mother?" asked the team leader Fan Ming.
Wang Aiguo: "My mother is making milk powder in the room."
Huang Yuelan heard a noise in the yard, as if the team leader had arrived.
The team leader is a very busy man. He will not hang out in the villagers' homes if he has nothing to do. He will only come here if there is something important.
Huang Yuelan took all three bottles of milk and walked outside. She smiled and greeted the captain: "Captain, you are here. Please take a seat."
After temporarily placing the bottle on the crib, Huang Yuelan handed the captain a small bamboo chair.
As it would take too long to finish the conversation, the captain took the small chair and sat down, ready to have a good chat with Huang Yuelan.
Huang Yuelan picked up the crying Xiaoba, then put the remaining two bottles in the mouths of Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi respectively, fixed them, and let them drink by themselves.
"It's quite lively at home!" the captain exclaimed.
Huang Yuelan smiled. The house was always busy. As soon as it was daybreak and the children woke up, there was no need to think about quiet. Only when it was late at night and the children were asleep could they have some peace and quiet.
Huang Yuelan: "There are so many children, it's always lively. What's the matter with the captain coming here?"
Originally, team leader Fan Ming came to see Huang Yuelan for something, and it was an important matter concerning the education problem in the village. However, when he saw the current situation in Huang Yuelan's family, he couldn't even say it.
Not only does she have a lot of children, but they are all too young, with three still breastfeeding.
The other five were not too old and could barely take care of themselves.
