First, I need to pack some things and exchange them with the team for some dried goods, so I can take them back to Beijing and give them to Xiang Yu as a token of my appreciation.
Then we had to pack up a bunch of stuff and send it to the cowshed.
After all, she was going to be gone for half a month, and Zhu Qinghao really wanted to take care of all their family's needs before leaving.
She knew perfectly well that her family members could take good care of themselves.
Having already lost her once, she wished she could take care of everything for her family herself, so she wouldn't have to go through any more of the hardships and suffering that could have been avoided.
Speaking of which, Zhu's family is quite lucky.
When it was time to weigh them, the committee members came over, looking very aggressive, and demanded that Wang Fulin take them away for ideological reform.
To put it bluntly, it means dragging someone into front of a large group of people for public criticism and denunciation.
It turned out that the day after the twins were born, Wang Fulin and several brigade cadres were making a ruckus, saying that a baby had just been born in the cowshed and that there was blood everywhere in the room.
The committee members don't allow others to engage in feudal superstition, but when it actually happens to them, they seem to have no choice but to believe, and they leave grumbling and cursing.
Watching them leave, spitting as they went, Wang Fulin and the other brigade cadres were somewhat surprised.
No, they're leaving already?
What about their backup plans? What about the aunties and grandmas waiting outside to gossip (and spread alarmist rumors)? What about the cowshed gate that was supposed to collapse as soon as they stepped into the cowshed?
And so, the entire Zhu family escaped a calamity.
Wang Fulin, too, couldn't wait to arrange for people to repair the gate of the cowshed.
Since they have this taboo, it means they won't come again before the twins' one-month celebration. Moreover, there's a local custom that if twins are born, they need to have a double postpartum period.
Although the purpose of double postpartum confinement is to allow new mothers to rest and recuperate properly, some people believe that the blood and lingering effects of the confinement period have not been completely eliminated before it is over, and therefore they will still avoid it.
Upon hearing that they had escaped a calamity, the Zhu family members breathed a sigh of relief. They then picked up the twins and coaxed them with smiles, as if the whole family regarded them as the lucky stars of the family.
It's not that they're so fragile, but the mental impact of such things is just too great. Every now and then, stones would fly at their heads and bodies, so it's best to avoid them if possible.
Zhu Qinghao was working in the field when she saw a large group of people heading towards the brigade headquarters. Before she could ask anything, she heard that the committee members had arrived, which terrified her.
Not long after, the group of people left again, and then the brigade leader led a few people, chatting and laughing, as they walked towards the cowshed.
So she quickly went to inquire and learned that her family had narrowly escaped disaster, and that she herself had just had a false alarm.
That one close call almost scared her to death, and now that she has to leave for half a month, she can't completely trust her family.
So I wish I could give them all the good things so that my family wouldn't lack anything, but I can't actually do that.
If there are too many things, the Zhu family will have nowhere to hide them.
What if the committee is replaced by a group of people who don't believe in superstitions and aren't afraid of "bad luck in the delivery room" and it happens again?
