Jiang Lin pushed him and gave him a glare, "You're so stupid."
Cheng Rushan came back to his senses and suddenly became nervous, "When I was massaging your waist just now, was the force too strong?"
She just felt sore in her waist or legs, and he thought she was just being coquettish. It turned out that it was because of her pregnancy.
He was quite familiar with Jiang Lin's health. In fact, he had wondered why her relatives hadn't come yet. When he asked her, she said it might be because they were too nervous. She was naturally nervous these days because she was busy with her elder sister's affairs.
Seeing the two young people being so affectionate with each other, Lan Moxuan didn't disturb them and just sat on the edge of the bed opposite them.
Jiang Lin thanked him, chatted with him about family matters, asked about the location of Huichuntang, and said she could go to him for medical treatment in the future.
Lan Moxuan smiled and said, "You are a college student, and you still believe in us old doctors? We were overthrown a few years ago. They said we were feudal and old-fashioned."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Doctor Lan, you are joking. Our traditional medicine has a history of thousands of years, and the experience of our ancestors is enough for us to enjoy." She looked at Xiao Meng who was sleeping, and said to Lan Moxuan, "Doctor Lan, can you take a look at our little girl? She has a weak spleen and stomach, and her appetite is small. She vomits if she eats too much."
Lan Moxuan looked back and said, "She looks pale and thin, not normal." He felt her pulse for a long time. After a pause, he said, "It's not a problem. Children are always more difficult to raise because they are delicate. Now that she is this old, she just needs to be carefully cared for."
Jiang Lin said happily: "Thank you, doctor. Will it really get better?"
Lan Moxuan: "Of course it's true. I, an old man, never say anything I'm not sure of. Children's spleen and stomach are mostly weak, and it's easy for them to get this way if they eat rough food. Just eat more soft and mushy food."
Jiang Lin: "Then our little girl ate too much and vomited," she thought about it and decided not to say what Mrs. Liang was doing maliciously, but only talked about Xiao Meng's actual situation.
Lan Moxuan: "Whoever eats too much will vomit. If she doesn't vomit, won't she feel bloated? Vomiting is a good thing, better than dying of bloating. More haste, less speed. Take it slow, everything will be fine."
He gave Jiang Lin a lot of suggestions. Jiang Lin took a pen to write it down, and Cheng Rushan took it and helped her record it.
When we were done chatting, it was time for lunch. A flight attendant came with a tin box to sell lunch boxes. The lunch boxes were packed with rice, potatoes, cabbage, and a little meat. After we finished eating, the flight attendant would come to collect the lunch boxes.
Cheng Rushan took the meal ticket and money and bought several servings according to the number of people. He thought about it and bought two servings for Jiang Lin.
Jiang Min hadn't come down yet, and Jiang Lin didn't force her to eat. She put her on the heater downstairs to warm her up.
Jiang Lin woke Xiao Meng and Xiao Jun up to eat and asked them to say hello to Grandpa Lan.
Xiao Meng greeted them obediently, and Xiao Jun hid beside her and didn't dare to say a word.
Lan Moxuan also bought a box lunch and sat aside to eat with them. He also chatted with Xiao Meng and told her that he was a very good doctor.
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Xiao Meng, Grandpa Lan is really amazing. He has treated many people and cured many of them. Grandpa Lan just checked your body and cured your illness. You won't vomit after eating in the future."
Xiao Meng's eyes lit up, "Really? Thank you, Grandpa Lan, you are so kind."
Lan Moxuan smiled and said, "Eat whatever you like and as much as you want."
Xiao Meng started eating happily. She and Xiaojun shared one box, and when she saw there was meat, she gave it to Xiaojun.
Xiaojun picked it up and ate it.
Jiang Lin saw it and said, "Xiaojun, sister will pick up some meat for you, what about you?"
Xiaojun pouted, wanting to say that the meat at home was originally his to eat, but now there was no milk, so he could only pick a piece of meat and give it to Xiaomeng aggrievedly, "Sister, you eat the meat."
Xiao Meng smiled and said, "You eat it. I don't like meat."
Xiaojun quickly put it into his mouth.
Because there were so many people eating together and the atmosphere was relaxed, Xiao Meng ate a few more bites without realizing it. However, she put down her chopsticks on her own initiative, and still did not eat as much as Xiaojun. Jiang Lin didn't say anything more to Xiao Meng about eating, and asked her to go to the corridor to see what was outside. She had never walked so far before.
Xiao Meng was very excited, so she pulled Xiao Jun to see that he didn't look like he was going to vomit because he ate too much.
Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps without the oppression of Mrs. Liang, Xiao Meng would feel more relaxed and get better soon.
Doctor Lan said that when she has time, she should take Xiao Meng to Huichuntang, and he would help her with the treatment, and she would get better after a while. Children's weak stomachs need to be treated. Western medicine is useless. After saying that, he went out for a walk to find someone to chat with, leaving Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan alone in the lower bunk.
Jiang Lin looked at herself and saw why she had two boxes. "Brother Shan, you bought too many."
Cheng Rushan: "Now you two should eat more."
Jiang Lin: “!!!” It’s enough for her to eat her fill. She’s just pregnant, how can she eat more? He is exaggerating too much. She pushed the lunch box to him, "One box is not enough for you, eat more."
Seeing that she didn't want to eat, Cheng Rushan ate it himself, then went to wash a towel and wiped her hands and face with it. His movements were gentle and his eyes were full of pity, which made Jiang Lin feel uneasy.
"Hey, I'm not made of glass, what are you doing?"
Cheng Rushan lifted her chin and looked at her, "I should have known not to let you come."
She had been traveling back and forth all the way, and she didn't even know she was pregnant. She must have felt uncomfortable both mentally and physically, and he felt sorry for her. Now when he thought of her kicking the door to vent her anger at Liang's house, he felt a little scared... If that kick had been more powerful, it would have knocked down the door frame. Fortunately, she was strong and nothing happened.
Jiang Lin smiled and scratched his neck with her little finger, "Can you handle it if I don't come?"
Cheng Rushan: "I can cut the Gordian knot."
There are many ways to achieve the goal, but of course not all of them are necessarily the most effective. From this perspective, Sister Linlin’s problem cannot be solved by a quick fix, so it’s better for Linlin to come.
He gently pinched her fingers and said, "Walk in the aisle for a while, and then we'll get off and walk around when we get to the station." Most people can't stand being stuck on a train for two or three days.
Jiang Lin didn't stay outside for too long after the car stopped. It was too cold outside and she couldn't stand walking for even a few minutes, so she pulled Cheng Rushan back to the car.
Seeing that she was about to jump onto the car, Cheng Rushan silently grabbed her waist and said, "Wife, be careful."
Jiang Lin: "You are too cautious. You are going to be an old lady, you are not that delicate. Pregnant women in the village cut wheat and break corn, and only go home when they are about to give birth. Some even give birth in the fields."
Cheng Rushan still carried her up, "It's okay if you don't know, but if you know I'll be nervous."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Relax. It's okay. Why don't you ask Doctor Lan for advice? He's an experienced doctor."
Cheng Rushan sent Jiang Lin back and went to chat with the old doctor.
Jiang Lin read a book for a while. When Jiang Min came over, she immediately took out her lunch box and said, "Sister, it's time to eat."
Jiang Min hadn't eaten for almost a day, and her face looked a little haggard. She scratched her hair and smiled, "I fell asleep."
Jiang Lin pretended she knew nothing and said, "Eat your meal. I'll tell you some good news later."
Jiang Min looked at her, "What good news?"
Jiang Lin smiled and said nothing, motioning for her to eat.
Xiao Meng and Xiao Jun came back together. Jiang Min saw Xiao Meng was smiling and Xiao Jun was not in a bad mood. She felt much calmer and touched them. "Are you full?"
Xiao Meng smiled and said, "Mom, my brother and I are full. The boxed lunch on the train is delicious and fragrant. Come and eat it."
Xiaojun: "It's not as delicious as home. We have big meat at home. Dad will bring back wild rabbits and pheasants."
Xiao Meng: "Isn't this on the train? There's nothing like that on the train."
Jiang Min lowered his head and ate in silence.
Jiang Lin said, "Sister, you have to cheer up. There is still a month before the final exam. Let Jiang Xinglei give you extra lessons when you go back. It might be hard."
Jiang Min looked up and smiled at her, "Linlin, don't worry about me, I'm not afraid of hardship. Studying is a very tiring process for us, but only sweetness."
She just remembered some things and needed to slowly clean them up. Some things can never be forgotten or let go in a lifetime. In the past, she would just avoid them and suppress them as if nothing happened. Later I found out that I was wrong, and this was useless. The best way was to sort it out over and over again. No matter how painful or resentful it was, I should not escape. Only after sorting it out could I put it aside properly and plan my life well.
Jiang Lin was happy for her because she had a positive attitude and was not depressed at all.
"Dabao, Xiaobao and Xiaomeng are the same age, so they can go to school together. Xiaojun is still young, so it's okay for him to stay at home instead of going to school. Our grandparents are free now and are willing to play with the children."
Jiang Min said in one breath that she wanted to divorce and go back to her parents' home, but to be honest, she was still worried. After all, I have my sister-in-law at home, and she also has three children. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of two more. Besides, she was afraid of being criticized by neighbors, and her parents couldn't stand being looked down upon. But since she has decided to change, she must face some problems, and it is also necessary to temporarily rely on her parents' home and sister for help. So she will definitely work hard to get a good job after graduation so that it won't be a problem to support her two children in school.
She sighed, "Otherwise people say that girls don't marry far away."
If there are people from your parents' family, even if they don't have to do anything, your husband's family will have to be more polite to them. Since there is no one at her parents' home, her husband's family thinks that she is all alone and they can do whatever they want to her.
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Sister, you need to change your old ideas and stop thinking that divorce is something shameful. As society becomes more and more developed, women will have more freedom. We should get used to this kind of thing."
Although there were not many divorces in rural areas in the 1980s, people in cities were no longer so strict about divorce and those who were not compatible would divorce early to get rid of the problems. Thinking this way, she had to be grateful to Bian Haitao for betraying her before he could reveal his true colors after having a child.
As she and Jiang Min chatted about the changes in the provincial capital, Jiang Min's mood became calmer and calmer, and the light in her eyes became brighter. Although she didn't smile as much as before, her smile was more real and came from the bottom of her heart.
…
The train goes south, which is the opposite of the journey north. The ice freezes layer by layer on the way there, and melts little by little on the way back.
Xiao Meng and Xiao Jun, brother and sister, leaned on the window and watched in amazement for a long time. It was simply magical.
There are green wheat fields on both sides of the railway. Each field is not very big and looks different from those on farms. The land on the farm is vast and stretches as far as the eye can see.
They saw many villages, mud and thatched houses, brick and tile houses, smoke from cooking fires, cattle, dogs, children...all of this was so new, it was like entering a new world.
On the morning of New Year's Day, January 1, 1979, they arrived in the provincial capital.
The provincial capital's railway station is a building left over from the Republic of China era. It has a simple and heavy style, and a large clock with black hands. People come and go in front of the railway station, not only bicycles, but also jeeps, cars, and trucks. Everything seems so novel to the brother and sister.
There are actually some of them who don’t wear thick cotton-padded jackets and are not afraid of the cold? At home they not only have to wear cotton-padded jackets but also big cotton-padded coats, otherwise they will freeze to death.
It turns out that the outside world is like this. It's not just like that in the mountain villages and the farm offices. There are no monsters in the provincial capital. They are all people just like them.
What grandma said turned out to be a lie! Before, Xiao Meng thought that maybe mom and aunt didn’t like milk, so they said milk was a lie. Now seeing is believing, it turns out that the milk is deceiving!
Xiao Meng liked listening to Jiang Lin more and more. She felt that her aunt was a college student, knew a lot, would not lie to children, and was more right than her grandmother.
"Wow, it's so warm!" Xiaojun was not very happy all the way, but now he finally laughed, "It's so warm, not cold at all!" He wanted to take off his big cotton jacket.
Xiao Meng: "No, you'll be cold if you take it off."
"It's so warm, how can you be cold?"
Jiang Lin: "If the train goes further south, it will be even warmer. They don't even wear cotton-padded jackets in winter. If we go further south, it will be almost the same as our summer."
"Really?"
"Of course. Didn't I draw a map for you? Study hard and the teacher will teach you."
She told Cheng Rushan that she was going to take the bus back, and Cheng Rushan said, "Chengguang should be back to pick us up."
After buying the ticket, he sent a telegram to Fang Chengguang to inform him of his train number. If Fang Chengguang himself was not available, he would arrange for someone else to pick him up.
Jiang Lin patted his waist: "I really like you more and more."
They said goodbye to Dr. Lan and made an appointment to visit him later.
Jiang Min followed them out of the train station. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery in front of her, she felt a mixture of emotions. It had been ten years, and she hadn't been back for ten years. Even if I was exiled from here, my hometown is still the one I miss in my dreams at midnight.
Things that I thought I had forgotten now suddenly come to my mind very clearly. When the first group went to the countryside, there were loud gongs and drums, and they wore big red flowers on their chests as they were happily sent on the train one by one.
At that time, they didn't know what tomorrow would be like. They thought they were just going for a trip and would be called back soon. They didn't know that this support would be a lifelong commitment. He may be buried in a foreign land, or his appearance may be completely unrecognizable.
If they were not allowed to take the college entrance examination, they might never have the chance to come back in this lifetime.
"I'm back."
She murmured, and the heavy feeling she had originally felt suddenly eased, and her whole body became relaxed.
Jiang Xinglei: "Sister, welcome back."
Jiang Min nodded, "Yes, I'm back." Those who have not been forced to leave home will not understand the meaning of coming back.
Things that are not important to some people are their deepest expectations.
Cheng Rushan held Jiang Lin's hand to prevent her from being naughty again. As soon as they walked out of the train station, they saw Fang Chengguang and He Liang standing outside.
Fang Chengguang and He Liang brought Wensheng here. The train was delayed, so they arrived early and waited outside for a long time.
He Liang jumped up and down like a monkey, afraid of missing the call.
Fang Chengguang put his hands in his trouser pockets, not in a hurry at all, "Why are you jumping around? Cheng Rushan is so tall, he can be seen at a glance, is there any need for you to jump around?"
He Liang laughed and said, "I'm just anxious. I want to see if my sister-in-law's elder sister is as pretty as her."
Fang Chengguang: "What does being handsome have to do with you?"
He Liang: "It matters a lot! Handsome people are also pleasing to the eye."
Fang Chengguang: "No wonder I feel uncomfortable every day. Stop hanging around me from now on."
He Liang hugged him and said, "It's okay. I just feel comfortable. I don't care about you."
Fang Chengguang's face changed and he stretched out his arms to separate him. This guy hugged people indiscriminately regardless of the occasion. Doing this in public would make people think he was a psychopath.
Fang Chengguang is tall and Cheng Rushan is also tall, so they saw each other first.
“Here I come.”
He Liang immediately waved to the side: "Wensheng, Wensheng, hurry up, your parents are here!"
Wensheng, who was buying candied haws over there, became anxious when he heard this, and said to the old man selling candied haws, "Hurry up, the old man doesn't know how to do the accounting." He couldn't wait for the old man to give him the change, so he ran over with a bunch of candied haws.
With so many people leaving the station, Vincent saw Jiang Lin at first sight and no one else in his eyes.
He shouted happily, "Mother, mother!" He held a candied haws in his hand, bumped into He Liang with his body, and said excitedly, "Did you see that, Baosheng!"
Jiang Lin told them that she was going to the Great Northern Wilderness to pick up her aunt. After she and Cheng Rushan left, Dabao, Xiaobao and Wensheng whispered that their parents had gone to pick up Baosheng.
He Liang: "That's not Baosheng, that's your mother's sister's daughter."
Wensheng: "Who is my mother's sister?"
He Liang: "Your aunt."
Vince: "Who is my aunt?"
He Liang: “…”
When Jiang Lin heard the sound, she quickly ran towards them. Cheng Rushan's face changed and he quickly caught up with her, put his arm around her waist and asked her to slow down.
Wensheng stuffed all the candied haws into He Liang's hands and ran over, his face beaming with excitement, his handsome face radiant, "Mom, I missed you so much!"
He opened his arms and was about to hug Jiang Lin tightly like before, but this time he was blocked by a strong arm.
Wensheng looked at Cheng Rushan along his arm in confusion: "Dad, what are you doing?"
Cheng Rushan: "Your mother is pregnant, you can't strangle her belly."
When Wensheng heard this, his eyebrows were raised, "Baosheng came by train? Dabao and Xiaobao guessed right!" He glanced at Xiaomeng and Xiaojun, who of them is Baosheng? He shook his head and looked at Jiang Lin's belly again. Why did Daddy say Mommy was pregnant instead of Baosheng? What does it mean to have a baby? He doesn't understand at all!
He laughed and picked Jiang Lin up sideways. If she couldn't hold him like that, he would just hold her like this!
Anyway, I just want to hug you!
Cheng Rushan: “…”
This time he came back, his wife was no longer his own, so he had to go and say hello to Fang Chengguang and He Liang.
Jiang Lin laughed happily, "Wensheng, put me down quickly, I will introduce you to my aunt and my sisters and brothers."
In the car, Jiang Lin had already told Jiang Min about the family situation, especially Wensheng's special situation, so that Jiang Min could be mentally prepared. Even so, Jiang Min was still surprised when she saw Wensheng. But seeing how happy they were, Jiang Min thought it was a good thing. After all, Linlin was a kind girl. She had grown up and matured and knew how to take care of others.
As long as Cheng Rushan doesn't mind this kind of thing, it's fine.
Wensheng greeted them one by one, shook hands with them, then reached out to He Liang, who handed him a candied haws in a servile manner. President Wen met everyone at the station, shook hands with them one by one, and gave each of them a candied haws, even Jiang Lin and Jiang Xinglei were not left out.
Jiang Lin was just craving for the candied haws, so she took the candied haws that Mr. Wen handed out.
At this moment, she directly blamed her pregnancy for her craving and laziness on the road. She was openly craving for it and bit the syrup on the candied haws with a crunchy sound.
"Vincent, you really know how to buy. This is the most delicious candied haws I have ever tasted! Well, it's a little worse than what my grandma made."
Wensheng had endless things to say to Jiang Lin, and when he heard Jiang Lin say that she liked the candied haws he bought, his face lit up with joy.
"Mom, my salary has increased. The troupe officially pays me. From now on, I will treat you to whatever you want to eat." He patted his chest proudly.
In the past, he basically didn’t ask for money when he made guest appearances, or he asked for something.
Now that Wensheng is performing well, the troupe said they will pay him a salary in the new year, 46 yuan a month, plus other welfare subsidies. Of course, his household registration was not there, so he was given the salary as a temporary worker. The benefits of temporary workers are better than those of some regular workers. I guess he is the only one like him in the entire troupe.
Jiang Lin looked at him in amazement, with admiration and ten thousand exclamation marks written all over her face, "Vensheng, you are really great."
Mr. Wen puffed out his chest with pride and smiled triumphantly at his father.
Cheng Rushan: …
Xiao Meng and Xiao Jun were eating sweet candied haws and looking at Wensheng with some curiosity. They couldn't understand what was going on. Why would such a grown-up person call someone "Auntie" and "Mom"? But, he is so handsome! I was also given candied haws to eat, how nice! A handsome and kind older brother.
Fang Chengguang smiled and said, "Dabao and Xiaobao insisted on coming. We were in class and we didn't let them take leave."
There is no New Year's Day holiday at this time, so we have to go to class.
Jiang Lin could imagine how aggrieved the two brothers felt.
Before leaving, she told them that she was going to pick up her aunt. Xiaobao even muttered about taking the train to pick up Baosheng, but... Jiang Lin was sweating, as the kid was right.
Because there were so many people, Fang Chengguang and He Liang drove two jeeps. Wensheng insisted on riding in the same car with his mother, so naturally Cheng Rushan and Jiang Xinglei were squeezed aside.
Cheng Rushan was afraid that they would not be able to sit freely and would squeeze Jiang Lin, so he said to Xiaojun, "Come with me."
Xiaojun: “!!!” I don’t.
Cheng Rushan didn't give him a chance to hesitate, he just picked it up and threw it into the car.
Xiaojun was so scared that he was shaking all over, but he didn't dare to cry.
Fang Chengguang looked back at Cheng Rushan, then at Xiaojun, "Why did you scare the child like this?"
Cheng Rushan: "No, this child is just honest." He touched Xiaojun's head, "Don't be afraid."
Xiaojun no longer dared to eat candied haws.
Jiang Xinglei: "Xiaojun, don't be afraid, your uncle-in-law never hits anyone."
It would be strange if Xiaojun wasn't afraid. He's scared to death.
Fang Chengguang smiled at Xiaojun. Xiaojun saw that he was handsome, smiling and not fierce. He wiped his tears and started eating the candied haws again.
Fang Chengguang saw He Liang driving off, so he followed behind and said to Cheng Rushan, "I'm going to be transferred soon."
Cheng Rushan: "Promotion is a good thing."
Fang Chengguang: "Congratulations to Captain Cheng for getting another captain position."
The position of captain of the Discipline Inspection Committee has also been arranged. The Discipline Inspection Committee of their military region has certain private functions, which is mainly to monitor itself internally and prevent situations like Wu Jinshui colluding with certain people from happening again, corrupting the military's morale and destroying the military's dignity.
Therefore, this is a very important department internally, requiring the selected personnel to be loyal, honest, fearless of power but smart enough.
Cheng Rushan was selected at the first opportunity.
He did not seem particularly happy after hearing what Fang Chengguang said.
Fang Chengguang: "Brother Cheng, you have the demeanor of a great general. You are so calm."
Cheng Rushan: "Is He Liang a stable driver? I should go and switch with him." He's shaking my wife again!
Fang Chengguang saw his abnormal appearance and exchanged glances with Jiang Xinglei in the rearview mirror.
Jiang Xinglei smiled and said, "My sister has a good news that cannot be told to anyone for three months."
Fang Chengguang was still thinking about the good news that he couldn't tell others within three months. After thinking about it, he realized, damn, Cheng Rushan is going to be a father again?
This is also what the grown men say in jokes. If someone's wife is pregnant, they can't wait to show off. But because their wife tells them not to tell anyone before three months, they will say "it's a good thing you can't tell anyone before three months".
He glanced at Cheng Rushan in the rearview mirror and said, "Brother Cheng, you are very thoughtful. You are stepping on the right spot."
Cheng Rushan was puzzled: "What do you mean by stepping on the spot?" He was staring at the jeep in front of him.
Fang Chengguang: "Look at the street."
Cheng Rushan then paid some attention to it and saw white words painted on the wall of the street, all of which were family planning slogans, and there were big red banners hanging. The scene was a bit similar to that of ten years ago.
"How to plan?" Cheng Rushan didn't care about this at all.
Fang Chengguang: "I don't even have a wife, so I never asked."
Cheng Rushan took a look and realized that it was not like this when he left, but how come it was everywhere in just a few days? There were more slogans about family planning than those celebrating New Year's Day.
Seeing his cold face, Fang Chengguang immediately said, "Don't worry, our military region hasn't carried out such intensive propaganda yet. It started from the major factories and streets."
It is generally like this. Any movement will start from government offices, factories, schools, and the countryside, and the best place to popularize it is among the citizens, because urban citizens rely on work to make a living. Once they fail to comply, food can be controlled, so once family planning is implemented, employees are the first to adapt.
Have to adapt.
Jiang Xinglei said, "There should be a policy. Even if it is forbidden to have children, then it should be banned from a certain time. She got pregnant before the policy was implemented. It is impossible for her to be forbidden to have children."
Cheng Rushan didn't say anything. How to execute it depends on the person who executes it, and he understands the trick.
Of course, with his current abilities, he would be able to take care of his wife giving birth to a child, so there was no need to worry.
Because it was a military vehicle, it had a smooth journey and returned directly to the compound.
Yan Runzhi and Cheng Yunzhi were both waiting at home. The dough had already been kneaded and they could make hand-rolled noodles when they came back.
Dabao and Xiaobao came back from school, "Have Dongsheng and Linlin come back?"
Yan Runzhi: "You two are skipping school, be careful of your comments."
Dabao: "The get out of class is over. We have plenty of time for physical exercises during recess." Anyway, grandma doesn't understand what's going on, haha.
Xiaobao: "Yes, we asked for leave, so it's not called skipping class."
Yan Runzhi smiled and said, "See how capable you two are."
Soon they saw a jeep coming, and Dabao and Xiaobao ran over and asked, "How big is the baby?"
These past two days they were whispering that Dongsheng and Linlin had gone to pick up Baosheng, thinking that he must be at least two or three years old, or three or four years old?
Seeing the two of them appear on the road, He Liang stopped the car, pushed the door and got out.
Dabao and Xiaobao rushed over and said, "Mom, where's Baosheng?" The two children got into the cab and turned around to see Xiaomeng.
Although Xiao Meng is a few days older than them, she looks small. Dabao and Xiaobao can't estimate other people's ages, and look like the older kids in kindergarten.
Maybe six years old, Dabao thought.
Xiaobao wondered, why is Baosheng so thin? This is not getting any food? Dongsheng and Linlin are so silly, why don’t they bring a fatter one back? Grandma said that when catching chickens or pigs, you have to be careful and buy those that are firm and fat.
Xiao Meng felt embarrassed by their stares and leaned hard against Jiang Min.
Jiang Lin introduced them to them.
Dabao and Xiaobao immediately greeted their aunt and sister. Although Jiang Lin said that Xiao Meng was a few days older, Dabao and Xiaobao deliberately ignored her and asked how she could be a big sister at such a young age. Linlin must have made a mistake.
When Xiao Meng heard them calling her sister, she subconsciously greeted her brother and didn't think of resisting at all. And she had never seen such a handsome boy, he was even more handsome than the girl.
To be honest, Dabao was very disappointed with this baby. It was not at all like the baby they had imagined. Xiaobao was also a little disappointed because they thought it would be very fun.
Jiang Lin said, "There's Xiaojun in the car behind us. He's my aunt's younger brother. We'll play together later."
When Dabao and Xiaobao heard this, they rushed towards the car behind.
Xiaojun was about to get out of the car, but was frightened by the two brothers and shrank back into the car with a roar.
Dabao and Xiaobao looked at him one by one. They found his trembling very funny. The two brothers put their feet on the footrest and supported themselves on the seats with their hands. "What's your name?"
Xiaojun cried, covering his face with his hands, "I want milk, I want daddy, I want to go home."
Dabao and Xiaobao looked at each other and thought, where did this boy come from? He is so timid, he is definitely not their baby!
Oh, so disappointed. Where is Baosheng?
Jiang Lin and Jiang Min got off the car in front, and Wensheng was already waiting beside them to help Jiang Lin down. Although he didn't know that Jiang Lin was pregnant, and didn't understand what pregnancy meant, but from what his father said, his mother needed to be protected.
He is willing to do this. If Jiang Lin hadn't kept saying that she was fine, Wensheng would have wanted to take her home directly.
He supported Jiang Lin more carefully than he would support a 99-year-old lady.
Dabao and Xiaobao rushed towards Jiang Lin, shouting "Mom", but were stopped by Wensheng.
Dabao: "Where's Baosheng?"
Xiaobao: "Didn't you say you were going to pick Baosheng up by train? Why isn't he here?"
Cheng Rushan had come over from behind and picked up the two sons. "We've checked. Baosheng won't be home until nine months later."
"So slow? What kind of train is that?" The two brothers were stunned. It had only been a few days since their parents went to the Great Northern Wilderness to pick up their aunt, so how come Baosheng took nine months to take a train?
Yan Runzhi and Cheng Yunzhi came out and welcomed Jiang Min and her brother and sister with a smile.
Jiang Min had already composed herself and prepared herself mentally. Her expression was calm and nothing unusual could be seen. She greeted the old couple.
"You must be exhausted after sitting on the train for several days. Come inside and rest. We will prepare lunch."
Dabao and Xiaobao were exhausted when they heard about sitting on the train for the next few days. What about Baosheng sitting on the train for nine months... Oh my God, how exhausted he must be.
The two brothers were so worried that they had no intention of entertaining the two little guests.
Xiaojun ran over and held his sister's hand tightly. Xiaomeng didn't dare to talk to the two brothers.
Finally, the two brothers muttered to each other, "This train is really not going fast enough, we need to speed it up."
The two of them went back to spend some time with Jiang Lin. Xiao Bao originally wanted to throw himself into Jiang Lin's arms and twist like a candy, but now his dad wouldn't let him!
Xiaobao: "Forget it, let's take our aunt's sister to school and treat her like a treasure."
Dabao: “Isn’t the smaller one more similar?” It has a chubby, fleshy head.
Xiaobao: "Although it's OK to have a brother or sister, I still like the sister more. She wears a flowery skirt and pigtails, just like Wei Mengmeng. Haha, the sister's name is Liang Xiaomeng, Wei Mengmeng, are they sisters?"
Dabao: "One is surnamed Liang and the other is surnamed Wei. What do you think?"
Xiaobao ran into the house and shouted, "Xiaomeng, come to school with us."
Yan Runzhi: "My sister just arrived, let her rest and go tomorrow. You guys should go to school quickly and come back for lunch at noon."
Dabao and Xiaobao ran to kiss Jiang Lin, "Linlin, wait for us to come back."
They both ran away.
Cheng Rushan told Yan Runzhi and Cheng Yunzhi that Jiang Lin was pregnant. Yan Runzhi was stunned for a moment, then clapped her hands, "Oh, this is a double happiness. Auntie and Xiaomeng and Xiaojun are here, and Dabao and Xiaobao's babies are here too. Great, really great." She smiled at Jiang Min and said, "Auntie is here to bring us good news."
Jiang Min was too embarrassed to take on this responsibility, so she quickly said, "Aunt, I don't deserve your praise."
Yan Runzhi: "Yes, yes, let's cook and eat now."
Cheng Rushan: "Mom, you guys go and talk, I'll do it." Jiang Xinglei and He Liang also ran over to help. Shan Ge’s hand-rolled noodles are also delicious. He Liang began to drool.
Fang Chengguang had something else to go out for, so he said goodbye to Cheng Rushan and left.
Cheng Rushan looked at He Liang and asked, "You didn't have breakfast?"
He Liang said seriously: "When Brother Cheng is not at home, nothing tastes good."
Cheng Rushan: "Prove it later when you eat noodles without asking for Lu Zi."
He Liang: "Brother Cheng, why do you like to joke so much?"
Cheng Rushan smiled.
When it was time for dinner, the two brothers Dabao and Xiaobao came back on time as if they had clairvoyance.
Vincent: “Have you two finished school?”
Dabao: "It's the last labor class. We helped the teacher clean the blackboard and arrange the tables and chairs. That's labor. We can come back early."
Xiaobao: “Hehe.”
Although Xiao Meng is well-behaved and obedient, she is also shy. She is not familiar with Dabao and Xiaobao yet, and she has an inferiority complex. When she sees the two brothers are so pretty and lively and glowing, she doesn't dare to get close to them.
Xiaojun began to recover a little, and immediately moved closer to Dabao and Xiaobao. Seeing a small wooden gun in Xiaobao's trouser pocket, he said, "I have one too. My father made it for me."
Xiaobao took it out and stuffed it into his hand, "Let me give it to you to play with for a while."
Jiang Lin quietly told Dabao and Xiaobao about Xiaomeng's situation and asked them to take better care of Xiaomeng and find ways to make her eat more without vomiting.
Dabao: "Isn't this easy? Let my dad get us a bigger bowl! Everyone uses a big bowl and it seems like they eat more with less. Let's give it a try."
Jiang Lin asked them to tell their father, maybe it would work. Xiao Meng vomited because of eating too much. One reason was that his spleen and stomach were not in good condition, and the other was psychological effect. If she doesn't feel like she's eaten too much, or at least doesn't feel like she's eaten more than usual, then she probably won't vomit.
They are all the bottom of the bowl, but the bottom of the big bowl and the bottom of the small bowl are always different.
When it was time to eat, Cheng Rushan specially found several large bowls to serve noodles to the four children. Dabao and the others got half a bowl, while Xiaomeng still had the entire bowl. It looked like less, but in fact she ate more than usual.
Dabao deliberately asked: "Why do you eat so little?"
Xiao Meng immediately looked a little overwhelmed, "I, I can't eat much."
Xiaojun: "She vomits when she eats too much, it's a waste."
Xiaobao: "I vomit if I eat too much, so don't eat too much." He glanced at Xiaomeng's bowl and said, "You are a girl, so it's normal to eat less. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Not everyone can eat as much as Zhao Xiaohao."
Wensheng asked who Zhao Xiaohao was.
Xiaobao: "The girl in our class who eats the most eats more than the boys."
Jiang Min had been keeping an eye on Xiao Meng. When they were eating together, Xiao Meng ate a little more than usual without noticing. She ate comfortably and did not vomit. It is still much less than Xiaojun, but it is a good start after all, and my body will gradually get better slowly.
After dinner, Dabao and Xiaobao went to school.
Jiang Lin and Jiang Min discussed and decided to let Cheng Rushan take them to the school to report, and then they would go back to their parents' home with Jiang Xinglei in the evening and stay in the school to concentrate on reviewing.
The children stayed here first and took the train for a few days. It would be too much for them to run back and forth.
Jiang Min was extremely grateful and thanked Yan Runzhi and Cheng Yunzhi for their trouble.
Jiang Lin: "I have to go back to school too."
Cheng Rushan coaxed her, "You've been tired for a few days, take a rest."
Jiang Lin: "I'm not tired, I don't feel anything at all. You can see it too, I eat everything with relish, I don't even have morning sickness. Hehe, this is God giving me food to eat! Are you jealous?"
Cheng Rushan smiled but still didn't agree. "Go tomorrow. It will be dark in the afternoon and you only have one class."
Cheng Rushan remembers her class schedule better than she does.
Seeing his concerned face, Jiang Lin thought it was better to go along with him and try to make him happy.
Cheng Rushan was indeed very happy. He touched her head and told her to have a good rest at home.
Jiang Min hugged Jiang Lin before getting in the car, "Linlin, don't worry, now that I'm here I won't let you down, I will be fine."
She can no longer rely on others for everything, not even for her inner support or support in life.
She needs to be strong and stop being immersed in her own emotions. She needs to be a support for her children.
Jiang Xinglei also said: "Sister, don't worry, I'm here. I'll tutor you this month and make sure you pass the exam."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Of course I'm relieved. Big sister is much better at studying than us. I think you should work harder when you tutor Big sister. Don't end up not doing as well as Big sister in the exam."
Jiang Xinglei's eyes showed fear.
Jiang Min hugged Xiao Meng and Xiao Jun and said, "Be obedient to your aunt. Mom will come to see you in two days."
Xiao Meng and Xiao Jun used to live with their grandmother, and they didn’t hang out with Jiang Min and Liang Tiefeng every day. Now that they are familiar with Jiang Lin, they naturally won’t stick to their mother anymore.
Xiao Meng: "Mom, you are awesome. You are in college just like Auntie."
Jiang Min kissed them, then got into the car with Jiang Xinglei and left.
After they left, Yan Runzhi took Xiao Meng and Xiao Jun and praised them for being handsome and well-behaved. "Go to school with Dabao and Xiaobao in the future. There are many children in this compound. They all like to play with big brother Dabao and Xiaobao. No one dares to bully you."
Now the two brothers are the little male gods of the school. Boys and girls alike like them and they can’t wait to stick to them and tell them stories every day. Even the teachers are fascinated by their stories and can’t stop reading them.
Wensheng supported Jiang Lin: "Mom, be careful on the steps."
Jiang Lin: ...
Yan Runzhi looked at her and smiled, "Mother Bao'er, come and pick out some cloth. I think I need to make you new clothes for summer. You definitely can't wear the old ones."
Jiang Lin: "Don't be tired, mom. Just have two maternity clothes to change into."
Yan Runzhi: "Why should I be tired? I have a sewing machine. Compared with the past, I have so much free time now that I am almost bored. I am enjoying myself."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Mom, this is the blessing you and Dad deserve."
Yan Runzhi and Cheng Yunzhi took Xiao Meng and Xiao Jun away, and asked Wensheng to go to the small theater in the compound to play so as not to disturb Jiang Lin.
Wensheng: "I'll read the script to mother."
Cheng Yunzhi helped the troupe to revise the script, and Wensheng followed along. In his memory, his mother liked listening to him read the script the most.
Jiang Lin lay on the kang and listened to Wensheng reading, but she fell asleep before he finished reading.
Seeing that she was sleeping so soundly, Wensheng just sat there looking at her. The more he looked, the more beautiful he thought his mother was and he could never get enough of looking at her.
His mother was not at home these two days. He dreamed that his mother was gone and when he woke up he felt empty inside, as if something was leaking.
It’s great that mom is back now.
When Jiang Lin woke up, it was dark and Cheng Rushan had already returned. After seeing Jiang Xinglei and Jiang Min off, he went to the office to hold a meeting with Director Di and others, and also went to the Disciplinary Supervision Office. His work efficiency was extremely high.
Jiang Lin opened her eyes and fell into his arms, clinging to him as if she had no bones, making soft and seductive sounds.
Cheng Rushan thought about it and realized that she had been particularly attractive to him since she became pregnant. He was even secretly happy that his wife was particularly enthusiastic this month. He specifically consulted the doctor about the couple's issue, and the doctor said it was normal and not to worry about, but as a man he needed to exercise restraint to avoid harming the pregnant woman and the fetus.
He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he seemed to be out of control a few times, but luckily nothing happened, otherwise he...
The old man was also a joker. It was rare to see a young man who was not afraid of shame asking him these questions, so he really teased Cheng Rushan, "In the past, if the family had the conditions, they would have to separate the rooms when the daughter-in-law became pregnant. Usually, they would have a maidservant, but if they didn't, it would be a lie..."
Cheng Rushan: “…” What are you saying? I will never sleep in a separate room from my wife.
He held her chin and kissed her hatefully, this little woman who was only interested in teasing but not taking responsibility.
Jiang Lin felt warm all over after being kissed by him, so she started to harass him and expressed her desire for him.
Cheng Rushan held her hand and said, "Wife, no, the doctor said no."
Jiang Lin half-opened her watery eyes and looked at him, with an incredible look, "Why not? What do you want me to do?"
She really missed him, she had never thought of him like this before, why was this, this feeling was a little scary.
Cheng Rushan looked at her eyes that seemed to be filled with alcohol and felt that he could not resist. He exerted his utmost self-control and said calmly, "Hold it."
Jiang Lin opened her eyes wide, looked at him like a monster, and whispered, "You want me to endure it, is this tolerable?"
It's you who tossed and turned all night and kept me from sleeping! I asked you to be patient, and you said it yourself. Can you tolerate this?
snort!
Cheng Rushan breathed heavily and sucked her lips resentfully, "You have no conscience, haven't I endured enough for you?"
He reached out and touched her, and she really wanted it.
At this time, Yan Runzhi called him from outside: "Dongsheng, come here."
Cheng Rushan was hugging his wife and kissing her comfortably. He didn't want to agree, but he let Jiang Lin go. "Mom, what's the matter?"
Yan Runzhi pulled him away and whispered, "Bao'er's mother is pregnant. You can't touch her in the first few months. It will hurt her and the baby."
Cheng Rushan: “…” Okay, you don’t have to tell me, I understand, I can endure it, I am an ascetic monk.
Yan Runzhi: "Dongsheng, move out and sleep in the south room for two months."
Cheng Rushan: “!!!” Now that my wife is pregnant, she is no longer mine? Forget it, my wife has the final say. "Mom, I won't make trouble for Linlin." If he really moves out, won't those brats laugh at him for being divorced?
Cheng Rushan went back to test Jiang Lin to see if she wanted to move out. But just as he started, she tearfully complained, "Brother Shan, have I become a shrew? Do you dislike me?"
Cheng Rushan quickly took her into his arms and coaxed her into submission, satisfying her harassment until his wife was satisfied and let him go. He was simply in torture.
He found that his wife's pregnancy was a test for a man both soul and body.
She became more and more delicious, emitting a fatal temptation, and kept tempting him, but he just couldn't eat her.
It’s so annoying!
