"Grandma, the three of us should just stay in the living room and not wander around in the yard."
Lin Wanru knew that the elders were doing this for her own good, but she had really had enough of staying in the bedroom.
"Grandma, it's only a few days until I'm done with my confinement, and the weather is hot now. As long as you don't touch cold water, it's okay to go out and walk around."
Since Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru both said so, Mu Xue didn't say anything else.
In the 1970s and 1980s, whether in cities or rural areas, people said they would stay in confinement after childbirth, but almost no one could actually stay there for a full month.
This is an era that values labor as the most glorious thing, and everyone takes pride in labor.
In the living room, Dabao and Erbao looked here and there. Everything was new to them as they walked out of the bedroom for the first time.
The cute appearance of the two little guys naturally attracted everyone's attention. Everyone gathered around the two little guys, teasing them and hugging them.
The little ones are not shy. No matter who holds them, they will give you a bright smile, and their emotional value will be maximized.
"Fuxing, look at your brother Lin Xiao, he now has a son and a daughter, and your eldest nephew has already had two children with one. You should also hurry up.
Otherwise, when you go to Annan, you will definitely be much busier than you are now. I don’t know how long it will take for you to go home, and it will be even more difficult to have children.”
Urging marriage and childbirth in person has always been the specialty of the elders.
"Mom, there are two new children in the family at once, and you are busy enough!"
Xiao Fuxing, who was playing with the child, didn't expect that his mother would bring the war to himself so soon.
"As long as you are willing to give birth, I can bring you here."
There is no elderly person who does not hope for a large family and many children and grandchildren.
"Okay, then Fengying and I will work harder."
Xiao Fuxing happily agreed, and Mu Xue nodded in satisfaction and stopped making things difficult for her son.
If your elders are urging you to get married or have children and you want to end the topic quickly, the best answer is to agree to it first, no matter what you think.
If you are stubborn and insist on going against the elderly, no matter how you present the facts or reason with them, you will definitely end up in a bad mood.
Yang Baiyi kept his promise and wrote letters to the educated youth who went to the countryside with him in Chenjiatun, welcoming them to come to the wedding.
I originally wanted to mail them the travel expenses, but after thinking about it, I decided not to.
Everyone has self-esteem, but sometimes taking on too much responsibility can put too much pressure on your friends.
When they return to school from Suzhou, I will help them arrange the tickets. That way no one can find fault.
After receiving Yang Baiyi's letter, his former educated youth friends were all very excited, looking forward to the long-awaited reunion.
Everyone put down their textbooks, asked for leave from the department immediately, rushed to the train station, took the next train, and headed straight to Suzhou.
Sun Dongchao and Li Ran were both studying at a university in Shanghai, which was the closest city to Suzhou. They got on the bus in the morning and arrived at noon.
Just as they got off the bus together and were about to ask how to get to Jinyun Villa, they saw a huge banner in the waiting hall.
It read, "Warmly welcome the educated youth from Chenjiatun, Hailin County, to attend the full moon banquet."
"They should be here to pick us up. Let's go and ask."
The educated youth in Chenjiatun have always been communicating with each other. Han Fei owes Yang Baiyi such a great favor, so he inevitably mentions Yang Baiyi and the Xiao family and their influence in Sucheng in his letter.
"Comrade, may I ask if you were sent by Comrade Yang Baiyi to pick us up?"
Below the banner are two young comrades in white shirts.
"Yes, you are the educated youth who went to Chenjiatun, Hailin County, to work in the countryside, right?"
The two young men were very enthusiastic, even a little respectful.
"Yes, comrade. My name is Sun Dongchao, and this one is Li Ran. We went to the countryside to work in the same village as Comrade Yang Baiyi."
After confirming the identities of Sun Dongchao and Li Ran, the two young men became more enthusiastic.
They are all newcomers to the municipal party committee. Yesterday afternoon, Director Xia Dong went to their office and gave them such a glorious and important task.
Under everyone's envious gaze, the two of them hurried to the Propaganda Department to print banners, and early this morning, they took the Municipal Party Committee's special car to the train station.
That’s right, in order to welcome Yang Baiyi’s educated youth friends, Xia Dong specially approved two jeeps.
In the past, Xia Dong did not have such courage, but it is different now.
After the Yongjun Garment Factory and Aijun Textile Factory went into production, not only did they solve the employment problems of the martyrs' families, but the economy of the entire Suzhou city also ushered in a significant leap.
As the vice governor of Su Province, Xiao Qingyang was given a Hongqi sedan to join the team, and his original jeep was retired.
There is no shortage of cars in the government compound now, so Xia Dong, as Su Cheng's chief steward, can arrange them more easily.
The two reception staff took Sun Dongchao and Li Ran's bags, escorted them out of the bus station, and arranged for a driver to take them to Jinyun Villa.
The two people sitting in the jeep were still a little dizzy at this time. They knew that Yang Baiyi was doing well and that Grandpa Xiao was in a high position and had great power, but this was too high-profile.
It would have been fine if they had arranged for someone to pick us up at the station, but there were actually two jeeps provided for the pick-up.
It has just been opened and it is so high-profile. Is there really no problem?
Yang Baiyi was not a high-profile person. In order not to put pressure on everyone, he specifically asked Han Fei and his wife to keep the matters of military rank and fiefdom confidential.
When they arrived at Jinyun Villa, Sun Dongchao and Li Ran were stunned by the buildings in front of them.
How can this be called a courtyard? It's not an exaggeration to call it a palace for a feudal emperor.
The pavilions, terraces, carved corridors and painted pillars, the small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard, and the exotic flowers and plants made the two of them dazzled.
Because of the different distances, the educated youth arrived at different times. They came one after another. No matter who came, Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru were equally enthusiastic.
During these two days, the educated youth who had reunited after a long separation drank to their heart's content and chatted until they fell asleep.
It was not until the day before the two babies' full-month banquet that Cui Jinfa and Zhang Hui from Harbin Institute of Technology finally arrived, and all the educated youth in Chenjiatun gathered together.
The others all came from school. Cui Jinfa and Zhang Hui went back home and brought a lot of mountain products for Yang Baiyi.
"Come on, it's such a long journey, why do you bring so many things?"
Looking at the big and small bags in front of them, it would be a lie to say that they were not moved. With so many dried mountain products, one or two families certainly could not provide them all. The two of them must have collected them in the village.
They were just ordinary college students. Not to mention taking a sleeper berth, it was not even certain whether there would be seats when they arrived. Carrying so many things with them, it would definitely not be easy on the journey.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, you know that Hu Niu is very talkative. When I returned home from school, the whole village knew that I was coming to your place to celebrate the baby's full moon. These things were all sent to my house by the elders and villagers, who asked me to bring them to you."
The weather was hot and the journey was long. In order to live up to the trust of their fellow villagers, Cui Jinfa and Zhang Hui suffered a lot along the way.
