"I'll go rinse the bottle."
He Yingying picked up the empty bottle and went to the bathroom.
"Yingying, don't waste it. Pour some more water on it and rinse it before letting the child drink it."
We all went through hard times. During the three years of natural disasters, who didn’t lick all the dirt in their bowl?
"Indeed, milk powder is a good thing and we can't waste it at all."
He Yingying followed suit, poured some hot water into the bottle, and placed it on the table to cool.
When Han Fei came back, he brought a small pheasant stewed with mushrooms, a dish with pickled vegetables, a pork stewed with vermicelli, and a fried tofu.
He bought four dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, and six steamed buns made of two grams of flour. In order to establish this marriage, Han Fei really spent a lot of money.
"Bai Yi, Xiao Xue just gave birth, so we won't be drinking at noon. Please bear with me."
Han Fei said apologetically.
"As it should be. Taking good care of my sister-in-law and the children is the most important thing."
Han Fei pulled the bedside table to the middle and placed the dishes on it.
"Sure, Principal Han, the food is really hard, I am here today."
He Yingying opened the lids of all the lunch boxes, and there was also pheasant stewed with mushrooms. Han Fei said all the nice things and brought the soup bowls from the state-owned restaurant.
"It didn't cost much. These dishes combined are not worth as much as the bucket of milk powder Bai Yi gave to her child."
Han Fei came to the supply and marketing cooperative in town with some cash a month ago. A bag of milk powder cost ten yuan. As for the barrel of milk powder that Yang Baiyi brought, it was not sold in town at all.
"Sister-in-law Li Xue, while the child is not crying or making a fuss, you should hurry up and eat."
He Yingying took out an empty lunch box, picked up a little bit of the dish and handed it to Li Xue.
"Captain Han, what's our son's nickname? Have you decided on one?"
A child’s full name is usually announced when they are one month old, so Yang Baiyi directly asked what the nickname was.
"Let's call the child Lele. Xiaoxue chose it. She hopes the child will be happy all his life."
Han Fei glanced at Li Xue and said with satisfaction.
"Le Le is good. Sister Li Xue picked a good name. It sounds good for both boys and girls and has a good meaning."
Little Lele was really good. He stayed quiet and didn't cry until the four of them finished their meal.
After lunch, Yang Baiyi went to the doctor to ask for advice. The doctor said that he could be discharged from the hospital the next morning, so Yang Baiyi planned to go back alone.
"Bai Yi, why don't you let me run the distance? Ten miles is not a short distance."
Han Fei felt a little guilty about asking Yang Baiyi to go back and call for an ox cart.
"I'd better go back. You must be worried if you can't see your sister-in-law and the children all night. Besides, I'm the easiest person to talk to when it comes to borrowing the ox cart from the captain."
With Yang Baiyi's physical condition, a dozen miles is nothing to worry about.
"Well then, I don't need to express my gratitude for your kindness. We both remember it in our hearts."
Han Fei thought it was true.
It is the harvest season now. Han Fei has borrowed an ox cart today and will need it again tomorrow. Without Yang Baiyi's face, he is really not sure.
After resting for a while, when the sun was setting and the weather was not so hot, Yang Baiyi left the hospital alone and walked towards Chenjiatun.
We strode all the way back to Chenjiatun before dark.
Yang Baiyi did not go home, but went directly to the brigade headquarters and told Chen Baiwang that he would go to the hospital to pick someone up tomorrow.
Yang Baiyi spoke up, and no matter how busy Chen Baiwang was, he had to give him face and agreed readily.
As soon as he got home, five dogs rushed over barking and surrounded Yang Baiyi.
"Why are you back so soon? Has Sister Li Xue given birth?"
Hearing the noise, Lin Wanru and Lin Xiao came out of the kitchen.
"It's a baby boy, both mother and child are safe. The doctor said he can be discharged tomorrow morning, so I'm back now. I'll go pick them up with the ox cart tomorrow."
Yang Baiyi patted the dogs on the head one by one, then waved his hand, and the dogs obediently dispersed.
"That's great! Going to have the birth on the same day went really smoothly. Has the baby been named yet?"
Lin Wanru was also happy for Li Xue.
In the 1970s when medicine was underdeveloped, giving birth was considered a very dangerous thing.
"He's nicknamed Lele. Oh, and I've adopted him as my godson. When he's one month old, we'll prepare a gift for him."
Yang Baiyi was in a good mood. Although his child was not his biological father, he would have someone to call him godfather in the future.
It’s really fresh to think about it. I’m only seventeen years old and I already have a godson.
"If I had known I could come back today, I would have come back with you."
Lin Xiao still seemed a little upset about not being able to see the fun.
"You don't have anything to do, you can go with us when we pick them up tomorrow!"
It’s not a big problem that my brother-in-law likes to join in the fun, so Yang Baiyi is happy to cater to his wishes.
"Okay then, we have made this happy decision."
Lin Xiao spoke quickly, fearing that Yang Baiyi would go back on his word.
"You must be exhausted after running such a long way. Wash your face and take a rest. You can eat soon."
Ever since the five dogs in the family grew up, they have become more and more hungry. When Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru cook, they always cook their meals.
So even though Yang Baiyi came back without saying goodbye, he didn't have to worry about not having food to eat.
After dinner, Yang Baiyi went to the river to wash away his fatigue.
It is autumn now, and the temperature is only about 10 degrees Celsius at night. He and Lin Xiao are the only two people bathing in the river. Not everyone has such abnormal physical fitness as them.
