Chapter 36

Meng Pandi found it strange, but Meng Yunxiu's reaction was very flat, as if she was talking about other people's affairs: "What are they doing here, ma'am, tell me." After hearing Madam Zhao finish speaking, Meng Pandi said excitedly

: "Yunxiu , your parents came to look for you, you don’t have to suffer in the future. Dad, Mom, you have to keep a secret, and don’t let the old men and women of the Meng family know that Yunxiu is on the island.” She immediately wrote to her second sister, Meng Yindi, to

let She went to inquire about the address left by Cidi's parents so that she could contact them.

Besides, Meng Yindi received a letter from the third sister. Although there was no mention in the letter, she guessed that the cousin probably went to Meng Pandi.

She attached great importance to this matter, and she was more considerate. No one mentioned it, so she immediately went to ask the old man and the old lady for the address.

Meng Yindi was also a victim. The old man married Meng Yindi to a seriously ill young man for a high betrothal gift. Not long after Meng Yindi got married, it was like a miracle. The young man recovered gradually. He and his mother treated Meng Yindi I am very grateful, and I am very kind to her, and Meng Yindi's life is not bad.

Even so, Meng Yindi hated the old couple for harming their sisters.

The old man and the old lady don't have much culture, they are still simple, but they recognize money, and their desire for money makes them extraordinarily shrewd.

"You must know where Cidi is?" The old man's eyes flickered, and he stared straight at Meng Yindi, hoping to get an affirmative answer from his granddaughter.

They wondered if the granddaughter also wanted to take money from the cousin's parents.

"Hey, I dig the ground every day and don't see an outsider. I don't know this. I just ask casually." Meng Yindi said.

The old man persuaded earnestly: "We are all half-buried people. We want to find Cidi not for her own good, but for the good of the Meng family. Think about it. Cidi was recognized by his parents and she can live a good life. Our family can also get a lot of money, so we don’t have to live this hard life.”

The old lady can even write a bad check: “Yindi, tell us where Cidi is, and I will give you half of the money when I get it.” .”

Meng Yindi sneered, this old couple is really talented, they never raised Cidi at all, but they sold Cidi once and wanted to sell again, and their biological parents wanted to extort a large sum of money.

She knew that the old couple would not tell her the address, so she tore her face apart and snorted: "Don't say I don't know where Cidi is, even if I knew it, I would hide it from you. Why should I tell you? For Meng Tianbao, you sold your conscience It's gone." The old lady decided that Meng Yindi knew where Cidi was, so she sat on the ground with her hands on her chest and began to cry hard: "Oh, what kind of abuse did I do? I raised a few evil people to come out. Without Meng Tianbao, we The family will be extinct, and it is useless to have a baby girl, who will belong to someone else when they grow up, it is better to be drowned in the urinal after birth, you are sincerely mad at my wife to death, so let it go." Meng Yindi thought about the old couple Definitely can't remember the address, they'll definitely have it written on a piece of paper and stashed somewhere in the house. But if she took advantage of no one at home to search at home rashly, and the old couple found out that things had been moved, she would definitely say that she lost things and blackmailed her for money, and she couldn't afford to accompany her, so she didn't dare to act rashly. She has been thinking about this for the past few days, and finally one day she had a flash of inspiration and figured out a good place for the old couple to hide their address. These days, she went back to her natal house frequently, and finally waited until all the family members had gone out. She looked at the mirror hanging obliquely on the door frame, moved a chair, and reached behind the mirror with her hands. She actually felt a neatly folded piece of paper. Sure enough, it wrote the address. Meng Yindi was so excited that she memorized the address silently, folded the paper up and put it back behind the mirror. As soon as the chairs were set, Meng Tianbao came back with his village flower partner. Village flower is wearing a water red dress, more fashionable than girls in the city. Several of Meng Tianbao's sisters were sold to him for the dowry money he had accumulated, as well as the big cakes painted for the village flower, five large tile-roofed houses, and 1,000 yuan in cash. Always buying things, plus sweet talk, although unmarried, the two have already slept. "Second sister, what are you doing at home, only you?" Meng Tianbao said.

Meng Yindi was a little flustered, and tried to say calmly: "Yes, my parents have gone to work in the fields too, so I'll be leaving now." Walking out of the gate,

Meng Yindi spat and said to herself: "Bah, you're a wimp, the clothes you wear, wear them. I don’t think you can get the money from Cidi’s parents, so you can still marry the best-looking one.” When she got home, she immediately wrote a letter and gave her

address Send it to Meng Pandi.

After receiving the letter, Meng Yunxiu immediately wrote to her biological parents, telling them that she was on Qiongya Island.

Meng Yunxiu, who had never heard from her biological parents, was a little worried: "Will my parents contact me?"

Meng Pandi encouraged her: "Yes, your parents can go all the way to Mengjiazhuang, now that you have I don’t know how happy I will be.”

Meng Yunxiu was full of expectations: “I hope so.”

——On

Sunday afternoon, Lin Qiao and Gu Lin were preparing to go up the mountain to pick fruits and dig Chinese herbs, when Xiaoshu hurried away coming.

"Xiao Shu, why are you running so fast?" Lin Qiao wiped his sweat and asked him to drink some water.

"Auntie, my aunt has come to the island, and my father asked me to call you." Xiaoshu said.

"Which aunt are you?" Lin Qiao asked.

"Huang Meirong, my mother's younger sister." Xiaoshu said.

During this period of time, he was not allowed to see the Huang family, nor did he mention it. It turned out that the little guy still remembered his mother.

Lin Qiao frowned slightly: "What is she doing all the way to the island? Did she go to find your father?"

Xiao Shu said, "My father is very angry, go and have a look."

Lin Qiao talked to Gu Rin Take a look: "Then let's go and have a look."

Gu Lin nodded: "Let's go."

She locked the door, and the four of them walked towards the shipyard.

Before the decline of the Lin family, Huang Meiqin had always been considered a qualified daughter-in-law of the Lin family, and the Lin family and the Huang family also communicated normally. Huang Meirong is a librarian in the city library, and she usually doesn't talk much. Lin Qiao has a good impression of her, and the two of them have a good relationship.

But because of Huang Meiqin's matter, Lin Qiao didn't like this family very well, and of course she didn't want to have any contact with her family.

"Why is your dad angry? What did she tell your dad?"

On the way, she asked Xiaoshu what Huang Meirong said, but Xiaoshu couldn't explain clearly, so she had to let it go.

When they arrived at the gate of the shipyard, they saw Lin Huaixuan and Huang Meirong standing a little far from the gate.

Lin Huaixuan looked sullen and looked very unhappy.

"Doudou, little tree, don't go there." Lin Qiao pointed to a shaded tree and told them to play there.

The two children were very obedient, and immediately took Kong Kong to practice climbing trees together.

The good news is that Xiao Shu has no feelings for Auntie.

"Mei Rong, why did you come to the island?" Lin Qiao tried her best to sound calm.

She was still carrying a big and heavy luggage bag, it seemed that Lin Huaixuan didn't let her in at all.

The conversation between the two should be unpleasant. Seeing Lin Qiao, Huang Meirong felt like seeing a life-saving straw, and said, "I'll come and see brother-in-law and Xiaoshu. I brought a lot of food for Xiaoshu. Brother-in-law's attitude is very bad."

Her The tone is tinged with grievance.

Lin Huaixuan frowned, and his attitude was cold: "You don't need to come to see us, and don't call me brother-in-law."

Lin Qiao glanced at the elder brother. Usually the elder brother has a very good self-cultivation, and it is rare for his tone to be so bad. What Huang Meirong said to him displeased him, Lin Qiao's tone was okay: "Merong, don't call me brother-in-law anymore, the two families have nothing to do with each other now, everyone is embarrassed." She asked Huang Meirong again: "You came here on

purpose What? Do your parents and elder sister know you're coming? What's the matter with you?"

Huang Meirong was quite aggrieved: "If they know, they will definitely not let me come."

"The two families have stopped communicating, so you still come." Lin Qiao said.

"The big ship probably hasn't left yet, you buy a ticket to go back now." Lin Huaixuan said with a straight face.

Gu Lin glanced at his watch: "The big ship will be delayed at the pier to deliver supplies to the camp. If you don't deliver supplies today, you have already left. You can only wait for next week. But in two days, the troops will have landing craft leaving the island. Comrade Huang You can come along."

Hearing that several people were not very friendly to her and asked her to leave immediately, Huang Meirong was very anxious and blurted out: "I came all the way, and it took me more than a week on the road. I don't want to leave, I want to stay. Come down and take care of Xiaoshu."

Lin Qiao and Gu Lin looked at each other: "...What do you mean?"

She saw that Lin Huaixuan's face became even more stinky, and she almost suppressed it so that she didn't explode. Before the other party could speak, she said: "I My elder brother and our family can both take care of Xiaoshu. Our family doesn’t want to have any contact with Huang’s family anymore. Besides, my elder brother is getting married, and Xiaoshu likes his new mother very much. The week is busy, and they have already obtained the certificate."

Huang Meirong was surprised, embarrassed and disappointed, her face flushed red: "Brother-in-law, how long have you been getting married since you came to the island? With whom? Is it a colleague from your factory? I came late Is it?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Lin Huaixuan's voice was cold.

Huang Meirong felt embarrassed, she let go of her face and ran all the way here. It turned out to be such a result, she was not reconciled, and said: "Huaixuan, my sister has let you down by doing wrong things because she doesn't know how to cherish, I am different from her , I’m Aunt Xiaoshu, we’re related by blood, we’re a family, can’t you let me take care of Xiaoshu?” He

started calling her brother-in-law, but now she just calls her by name.

Lin Qiao: Unexpectedly, Huang Meirong would have such thoughts towards her brother-in-law.

As long as a man is good enough, even if he divorces and has a baby, he will have a romantic relationship.

Since she was cryptic, Lin Qiao made it clear: "You can't stay on the island. There are no job opportunities, and there is no place for you to live on the island." "

I want to start a family with Huai Xuan." Huang Meirong felt that Lin Pushed to the corner, she had to say, but the attitude of the few people made her feel very ashamed, and it was difficult to say these words.

"It's absolutely impossible." Lin Huaixuan felt a headache and was extremely embarrassed, so he raised his voice and refused flatly.

He thought about it, he has always maintained a sense of proportion with his sister-in-law, and he will never overstep the distance, and he doesn't even have many contacts.

Lin Qiao's tone was better: "Mei Rong, don't say that anymore, everyone is very embarrassed. You used to envy your sister's good marriage, right, you are only twenty-eight, and you have a good job, sure. If you can find someone who matches you well, why bother staring

at your ex-brother-in-law who is divorced and has a baby.” Huang Meiqin has always boasted to her younger sister that she is married well. Huang Meirong feels that her brother-in-law has a good family background and a good job. I am willing to find someone who is worse than Lin Huaixuan. If I am not high enough, I will be twenty-eight and not married yet. I didn't expect to find my brother-in-law directly.

Even though the Lin family suffered an accident, she still found Lin Huaixuan very attractive.

Lin Huaixuan cut through the mess quickly, and said in a strong tone: "Don't say anything more, you live in the extra dormitory of the factory first, and go with the landing craft after two days, and I don't care whether you leave or not after two days." "Huaixuan, I'm

serious , I will make up for the mistakes my sister made..."

Gu Lin said: "Don't call me by your name, just call him Comrade Lin, that's it, this is all messed up, no one wants to marry his ex-brother-in-law, I It sounds absurd, there are no young men of marriageable age around you, why don't you leave the island as soon as possible."

Huang Meirong saw that Lin Qiao's partner hadn't spoken, and when she spoke, the cold air was blowing out of her body, and the pressure was overwhelming. People can't lift their heads up.

"Let's go, go to the dormitory to stay and leave in two days." Lin Qiao said.

Huang Meirong had no choice but to stay with them in the dormitory of the factory. Lin Huaixuan said coldly, "You can eat in the cafeteria. Don't tell people that you know me." Lin Qiao felt that it was necessary to restrain her and said:

" At your age, you should be responsible for all your actions, if you don’t come according to this arrangement, we will leave you alone and call your parents directly.” This sentence is very deterrent,

Huang Meirong thinks this is a failed itinerary, of course Don't want to let her strict parents know before she goes back.

"Lin Qiao, please don't call me, I will leave with the landing craft." Huang Meirong said.

Gu Lin added another sentence: "If you are restless, I will immediately arrange a landing craft to take you off the island."

Huang Meirong shuddered. Lin Qiao's lover is really fierce, no wonder his parents and sister mentioned him with a look of awe.

Without further words, Lin Qiao and the three immediately left and walked out of the factory gate. Seeing no one around, Lin Qiao joked, "Brother, apart from coveting brother-in-law, Huang Meirong is also pretty good in other aspects. You are so fierce to your peach blossom."

Hearing his sister's easy words, Lin Huaixuan's face softened, and he said, "Don't embarrass me, I can have five days of nightmares just because of this."

Lin Qiao turned her head to ask Gu Rin, with a smile in her voice: "Do you want to see me?" Do you want peach blossoms?"

Gu Lin's eyes were dark, and he took a deep look at her: "You are talking about yourself?"

Lin Qiao pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course it wasn't me, don't all men want peach blossoms?"

"Nonsense, one peach blossom from you is enough for me." Gu Lin said.

Lin Qiao smiled lightly: "That's what you said, if you dare to have other loves, I'll never end with you."

Gu Lin squeezed her hand: "I don't dare, but I want to know how you want to end up with me, tell me "

Lin Qiao was amused by his low-pitched words, and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Lin Huaixuan said that the way the sister and brother-in-law get along is really enviable, and the brother-in-law must be very fond of his sister.

"Hurry up and go home, don't be affectionate in front of me." Lin Huaixuan said.

Lin Huaixuan still had to work, Lin Qiao and Gu Lin took Doudou and Xiaoshu home, and went to the mountain as planned.

——An

important guest came to Zhao Battalion Commander's house, Meng Yunxiu's relatives.

They also came by a large boat. After arriving on the island, they inquired about the family courtyard of the camp. When they arrived near the family courtyard, they found out the home of Battalion Commander Zhao, and then they met their daughter Meng Yunxiu.

The whole family didn't expect Meng Yunxiu's biological parents to come to the island to find their daughter just over half a month after the letter was sent out, which shows how much they attach importance to this matter.

Jiang Chaoying hugged her daughter and cried like tears: "Girl, we didn't expect you to suffer so much. You should really contact your adoptive parents. Knowing that you have suffered, they will definitely take you back. For so many years, my mother has been thinking about it. I'm looking at you."

He Jiefang comforted: "It's a happy event to see my daughter, why are you crying." He turned his head to one side, his eyes were red.

Meng Yunxiu felt relieved, it turned out that her parents missed her very much.

Jiang Chaoying let go of Meng Yunxiu, and looked her up and down: "Cidi, we went to Mengjiazhuang, and we know that people from all over the world speak bad things about you, so they didn't beat and scold you, it looks like a complete beard, it's nothing It’s a big problem.”

Meng Yunxiu cried with joy: “Mom, I haven’t been beaten or scolded, I’m fine.”

Meng Pandi poured water, pulled a chair, and asked Xiao Waner to bring a large plate of bananas, saying: "You guys must be tired from this journey, sit down and talk slowly."

Jiang Chaoying gritted his teeth with hatred: "If the old man and the old lady give us Cidi a decent marriage, Cidi won't have to suffer so much, I will go Mengjiazhuang is looking for two people to settle accounts. Pandi, you have no objection."

Meng Pandi shook her head: "Of course I have no objection, our sisters are all victims, if I hadn't run away with Qiangguo, I would have married a second wife Married people will be stepmothers."

He Jiefang quickly persuaded her: "What are you going to settle with them? How can you settle with them? They still want to extort a lot of money from you. They haven't committed any crimes, and the law can't punish them. It's better for Di to live her own life away from them."

"I just can't swallow this, they are really pissing me off." Jiang Chaoying said.

He Jiefang said: "Don't talk about this, just ask Cidi how she has lived these years." The

three of them said the same thing, and Jiang Chaoying said: "Thanks to your third sister for being willing to take you in, you also gave your sister and brother-in-law more money. It's a lot of trouble, you go with mom, go home and let your dad arrange a job for you, and then find you a partner, your brother and sister-in-law are also looking forward to your return, and your parents will never let you live a hard life in the future."

Meng Pandi immediately talked about Meng Yunxiu's getting married, and also about Lin Huaixuan's situation.

Everyone thinks that Yunxiu can be considered as a second marriage, and it's okay to match a second marriage with a baby, besides, the other party is an engineer, and he is educated and educated.

"Are you a little older?" He Jiefang hesitated.

Jiang Chaoying didn't care at all: "Cidi is not young anymore, young people are all hands and feet. We Cidi have suffered so much, and the older ones know how to love others." Meng Yunxiu didn't want her parents to hinder her marriage, she bowed her head and said

shyly "Dad, Mom, I'm happy, I'm definitely going to marry Lin Huaixuan."

Jiang Chaoying understood everything when she saw the girl's timid look, and she said, "Okay, girl, as long as you want, parents support you. "

Mom, I'm not called Cidi now, I'm called Meng Yunxiu, he changed my name to me.

"This name is really elegant. Most people can't come up with such a name. It sounds good." He Jiefang said.

"Lin Huaixuan is really cultured, Mom really wants to meet him." Jiang Chaoying said.

"It's Yunxiu who fell in love with him first." Meng Pandi said, she told about Lin Huaixuan helping Meng Cidi at the pier.

Jiang Chaoying felt relieved: "We haven't met many good people in Yunxiu, Lin Huaixuan is one, is he free now, or let's call him to see him." She turned to her daughter again: "Don't worry,

Mom will never Whatever you say, you can marry him if you want."

Meng Pandi said, "Engineer Lin should be free today and Sunday, so I'll go right away."

Meng Yunxiu insisted on going to find Lin Huaixuan with Meng Pandi.

The two walked towards Lin Qiao's house. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the door of Lin Qiao's house was locked. Meng Pandi guessed that Lin Qiao must have gone up the mountain, and just wanted to go directly to Lin Huaixuan, when a family of three appeared around the corner.

"Lin Qiao," Meng Pandi shouted, "Yunxiu's parents are here to look for her." The other party

was beaming, and it seemed that the two parties were happy to meet each other. Lin Qiao said, "That's great."

She asked a series of questions , where is her family, how many people are there, and what do her parents do?

Meng Yunxiu came one by one, but she was not as happy as she was in front of her parents, and said, "Lin Qiao, how do you think I should treat them? If they want to give me away, they will give me away. They also appeared when they crawled out of the mud pit."

Lin Qiao thought, Meng Yunxiu really didn't treat herself as an outsider, and told her all the deepest thoughts in her heart.

She just realized that Meng Yunxiu is also a person with a temper.

Meng Pandi said: "Yunxiu, haven't you always wanted to see your parents, so don't pursue the past."

Lin Qiao comforted: "Sister-in-law Meng is right, the past has happened and cannot be changed. We can only look back."

Meng Yunxiu suddenly became enlightened, nodded and said I understand.

Hearing that Meng Yunxiu's parents are the ministers of the District People's Armed Forces Department, and they are very kind to the lost daughter, Lin Qiao glanced at Gu Lin, and remembered the concern about the gap between the two when she married Gu Lin.

Lin Qiao said, "Do your parents know about my family's situation?"

"I know, we've said it, they don't mind, as long as I want, they will support me." Meng Yunxiu tried her best to dispel Lin Qiao's worries.

"With such parents, Yunxiu is different from before. If you leave the island and return to your biological parents, you should be able to find a young man who is about your age and in good condition to marry. I think so, and my elder brother will definitely think so too .” Lin Qiao said.

"Lin Qiao, look at what you said. We have agreed to get married. How can you go back on your word? Yunxiu has already told her parents that he is willing to be your elder brother. She is worried that your elder brother will suddenly be unhappy. " Meng Pandi said, "You brothers and sisters, don't think too much, let's go, let's go to Engineer Lin, go to my house, and meet her parents." Seeing that Meng Yunxiu had no other

ideas, Lin Qiao didn't struggle, and said: "Let's go, go find my elder brother."

When we arrived at the shipyard, Lin Huaixuan was about to take Xiaoshu to the cafeteria for dinner. Sure enough, the brother and sister had the same reaction, and Lin Huaixuan also asked the same question.

Knowing that Meng Yunxiu was determined, Lin Huaixuan took Xiaoshu and the five of them walked towards the family courtyard together.

When he returned to Meng Pandi's house, Meng Yunxiu was afraid that his parents would disagree or that Lin Huaixuan would go back on his word. For the first time, he took his arm and introduced to his parents: "Dad, Mom, he is my partner, our son Xiaoshu, and me. Sister-in-law."

He Jiefang and his wife's eyes lit up, and they felt that he was much stronger than they imagined.

Besides, my daughter is shy and shy, she looks at him with love in her eyes, and she likes Lin Huaixuan very much at first sight.

They originally thought that Lin Huaixuan had a second marriage with a baby, and his father was also sent down, but when they saw him in person, he was very polite and demeanor, and felt that these disadvantages of his were not worth mentioning at all.

What's more, when people were willing to marry Cidi, Cidi was still a poor woman in the countryside, bearing the bad reputation of her parents Kefu in the countryside, and she didn't have the father of the Minister of Armed Forces, so she didn't say anything.

Jiang Chaoying was even a little worried that Cidi had been living in the countryside and only went to high school, so she didn't have a common language with others.

Besides, his child is so well-behaved, and his younger sister is also kind and educated. From these few people, it can be seen that his family is unusual, even much better educated than their family.

Jiang Chaoying knelt down and asked Xiaoshu: "Do you want to have a new mother?"

Xiaoshu replied obediently: "Yes, I like Aunt Meng the most."

She cried with joy: "Xiaoshu is so good, don't worry Yunxiu, I I am very satisfied with this son-in-law, I like it very much, Yunxiu has come a long way, please find a day to get the certificate as soon as possible."

Of course, He Jiefang was also satisfied with Lin Huaixuan, saying: "Look at you, crying again, now you have a daughter and son-in-law , you should be happy."

Chapter 37

Besides, the three people warned Huang Meirong to stay safe and wait for the outlying island. She naturally didn't dare to make mistakes, but she still asked about Lin Huaixuan's marriage partner. Hearing that she was the younger sister of the army's wife who came from the country and worked on the farm, she immediately felt superior. She eats food supplies, has a non-agricultural hukou, and lives in the city, so she must be better than that village girl.

With this sense of superiority, she even wanted to go to Lin Qiao and Lin Huaixuan to say that she was more suitable.

But the good feeling didn't last long. Just when she was going to find Lin Qiao, she saw He Jiefang and Jiang Chaoying on the island. They came to the island together by boat. They sat together on the boat and chatted all the way. Of course She didn't tell the other party the real purpose of the trip, she only said that she came to the shipyard to see relatives.

"You have found your daughter, and your daughter is going to marry an engineer from the shipyard?" Huang Meirong was surprised, this is too coincidental. "Is it Engineer Lin?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Huang Meirong said teasingly: "Your daughter is so young, and your uncle is a minister, so she can't find any kind of partner. I heard that Engineer Lin is old and has a second marriage with a baby. "

You girl, why are you so suspicious? I don't know you very well. Why did you speak ill of my son-in-law?"

Jiang Chaoying sized up Huang Meirong, her brows slightly frowned. Nice to hear!

Facing the other party's razor-like eyes, Huang Meirong's face flushed red and she felt uncomfortable.

"You must have never met Engineer Lin, right? Engineer Lin is very energetic, educated, and engaged in research and development. He is different from ordinary people. What's wrong with the second marriage? My daughter has a good date and a son. We are very satisfied." Jiang Chaoying showed off her prospective son-in-law.

"My daughter's sister-in-law is also very nice. She is beautiful and is an island doctor. Their brothers and sisters treat my daughter well. My daughter is very lucky." Jiang Chaoying talked endlessly, but

Huang Meirong couldn't hear anything, and her whole body It's all bad, the village girl she despises actually has the father of the head of the People's Armed Forces Department in Haicheng, Haicheng is a big city, Qingcheng can't compare at all. Although her father is also the deputy director of the Cultural Bureau, her father's reputation has already been smeared by her sister, and if he can't be promoted, he might be dismissed.

He Jiefang hurriedly took his daughter-in-law away, and said to her: "I don't think this girl has any good intentions. In the future, don't talk to strangers."

Jiang Chaoying said: "I don't think she is very kind, who knows? She's out of her mind!"

The couple are already discussing the marriage with Lin Huaixuan, and they decided to keep things simple and keep a low profile. Only relatives and Lin Huaixuan's colleagues will have a meal together, and the bride price and dowry will both be paid two hundred yuan. I didn't want my daughter to be wronged, so I gave her an extra 1,800 yuan in case of emergencies.

Lin Huaixuan didn't have a lot of money, only two to three hundred yuan. At that time, all the Lin family's money was handed over. He had enough subsidies abroad to eat, and Xu Manzhi saved his salary for him. When he divorced Huang Meiqin, he only had one or two months' salary at that time, and Huang Meiqin didn't split it away. Now his savings are all this year's salary. Xu Manzhi was worried that he might have to hand in the passbook again, so he still kept it in his own hands. When he went to the island, he was only given 300 yuan, and his salary in the future was at his own disposal. He didn't have much savings, but his monthly salary was over a hundred. He Jiefang and his wife were satisfied with his salary, and they didn't think he didn't have any savings. Meng Cidi changed her surname, and her name is now He Yunxiu. Parents went out of the island and bought a lot of things for He Yunxiu, ranging from sewing machines, radios, and watches to small items such as shampoo and soap, washbasins, thermoses, pots and pans, towels, quilts, and thin quilts. They also pulled a lot of cloth for her. I bought a lot of fashionable clothes. The son-in-law also has a new suit to wear on his wedding day. They even bought gifts for everyone who treated He Yunxiu well, not to mention her cousin's family, Lin Qiao's family, and even Mrs. Luo who took good care of He Yunxiu on the farm. He Yunxiu and Xiao Wan'er lived in the same room, and the wedding supplies almost filled their room. The daughter's suffering cannot be changed, and after the daughter is married, she is far away, and they cannot make up for her mentally, so they try their best to give more material compensation. The wedding gift given by Lin Qiao is the same as that given to the second brother, it is also made of various fabrics.

Putting on the skirt bought by her mother, He Yunxiu burst into tears. It turned out that she could also wear the skirt beautifully and stand in the sun. Her previous life was so dark that she could not see any light, but now she suddenly has everything.

They won’t be at ease until they see their daughter getting married, and they have to wait until He Yunxiu gets married before leaving the island. The director of the shipyard knows that the head of the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces of Haicheng District has come to the island to recognize relatives, so he must give enough face and give the green light, even if he is busy with work. , also urged Lin Huaixuan to get out of the island to get the certificate.

The shipyard even arranged for a boat to take the two of them out of the island. In one day, the two got their marriage certificates and bought daily necessities.

In addition, He Yunxiu's household registration has to be moved from Mengjiazhuang, and her parents will handle it, so don't disturb the old man and lady for the time being.

Gu Lin told Lin Peiyuan about He Yunxiu's situation, and Lin Peiyuan was very surprised. Some time ago, he learned that Lin Huaixuan wanted to get married, of course he agreed, but he didn't expect that the life experience of the prospective daughter-in-law would change so much in a few days.

The woman's father is still a minister, which made him have mixed feelings. He has no objection if the two children and the parents of the other party are happy, but he has concerns. He originally said that he would not come to eat, but He Yunxiu's parents insisted that he come. He Jiefang said: "The father of the son-in-law I must come. There was no wedding at first, but the relatives and colleagues of both parties had dinner together. I originally wanted to invite the director of the shipyard and colleagues Huaixuan who were convenient for them. Wedding candy or invite them to dinner." The couple are very sober, now that there are so many people who have been devolved, almost everyone is in danger, and who can guarantee that they will not be found out and labeled as "wrong", so they have no regard for Lin Peiyuan. No other opinion. Brother and sister Lin Qiao felt that the couple could handle things clearly, so they agreed. Lin Huaixuan's house in the shipyard is small, and they decided to have dinner at Meng Pandi's house. On this day, everyone split up. Lin Huaixuan and He Yunxiu went out of the island to get a certificate; Qiao replaced Lin Huaixuan's house with brand new sheets and bedding, and pasted red happy characters on it. Xiaoshu used to sleep in the same room as Lin Huaixuan, but now the room opposite the main room has been arranged as his small room. After finishing these tasks, the two went back to prepare dinner.

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother have already soaked sea cucumbers and abalones, and killed a big rooster. There are no outsiders, and no one will say anything when they take out the best seafood ingredients.

There is also the yellow-lipped fish that Battalion Commander Zhao bought yesterday, which weighs four or five catties.

Braised sea cucumber with scallions, steamed abalone with minced garlic vermicelli, steamed yellow lip fish, stewed mushroom vermicelli with big rooster, all are hard dishes.

Lin Qiao took Dou Dou and Xiao Shu to the house several times, bringing the coal stove, chairs and dishes.

The happiest thing is that the two little guys are still free. They have all kinds of candy in their pockets. No one restricts them today, and they can eat as much candy as they can.

He Jiefang and Jiang Chaoying thought that their own family's situation was better than that of the Lin family. Besides, the Lin family had clearly expressed concerns, so they had to be more enthusiastic and lowered their stance to make the in-laws feel like a family.

Knowing that Lin Peiyuan would arrive home around four o'clock, they waited at the door early, and as soon as the two of Gu Lin appeared, they rushed to welcome him in and talked warmly.

After chatting with Lin Peiyuan, they had the impression that he was worthy of being an intellectual, with a refined temperament and good conversation, and his cultural background was incomparable to them.

Now they believe in Lin Huaixuan's character even more, and believe that the son Lin Peiyuan educated must be good.

There were no witnesses, no wedding speech, but the meal was plain and warm.

After dinner, Jiang Chaoying asked her daughter and son-in-law to go home early: "You have been busy all day, so go back early." "

Mom, let's go then." He Yunxiu said reluctantly.

Gu Lin's family also sent Lin Peiyuan back to the dormitory where he used to live. Since Lin Peiyuan left Qiongya Island, Lin Qiao rarely had a chance to talk to him. She asked, "Dad, what do you think of the new sister-in-law?" Lin Peiyuan said:

" She looks very down-to-earth and has a gentle temper, as long as I can live a good life with your elder brother, so that your mother can rest assured."

Lin Qiao said: "I will write to her and tell her, my mother must be very happy."

Besides, when Lin Huaixuan's family returned to the shipyard, He Yunxiu looked at the newly furnished room and said happily, "I never thought I could have my own home." She looked

at Lin Huaixuan tenderly: " Still marrying the man I like, I have never felt so happy, it feels unreal, like a dream."

Lin Huaixuan held her hand and said: "You also have the qualifications and ability to be happy, don't think about the past, Let's live a good life from now on."

Xiaoshu took her other hand, called her mother affectionately, and said with satisfaction: "I will have a mother again in the future." He

Yunxiu's hands were tightly held, feeling very at ease, She turned to Xiaoshu and assured him: "Xiaoshu is the most likable, and I will treat you like my own mother in the future."

Xiaoshu was too excited today, and played wildly with DouDou again, which exhausted a lot of energy, and he died in a short while. Go back to your room and sleep.

The couple lay on the bed after washing, neither of them moved, only the sound of chirping insects and slight breathing around them.

He Yunxiu took advantage of the darkness to pluck up the courage to say: "I was married in name, but I am still a girl with yellow flowers."

She used to think that men have no good things, they are very disgusting, and resist rejection, but she loves Lin Huaixuan sincerely. I am willing to give my body and mind to him.

I'm glad I haven't been defiled by those disgusting men.

Lin Huaixuan groped for her hand, held it comfortingly, and turned to face her: "I'll be gentle." He

Yunxiu's face was so red that it seemed to be dripping with blood.

"I haven't touched a woman for more than two years, not many times before. Besides, I'm so much older than you. I'm not sure how I will perform. Don't have too high expectations." Lin Huaixuan said.

He didn't treat her coldly, nor did he come over in a hurry. It turned out that he was just as nervous as himself. He Yunxiu let go of all his worries, and suddenly relaxed, giggling.

He Yunxiu was ignorant of this matter, and felt that it was only necessary to have a child. She said, "I didn't have any expectations."

The two of them got closer, and they both remained motionless in the dark. He Yunxiu heard Lin Huaixuan say again: "I also feel that I am an old cow eating tender grass. Don't you dislike me." He Yunxiu felt her face was as hot as a branding iron

, He laughed again, and this time he couldn't stop.

She said: "Don't talk nonsense, you are not old, how could I dislike you."

——He

Jiefang and Jiang Chaoying originally huddled together with Meng Pandi's family. The daughter and son-in-law are in a harmonious marriage, and the child is loved and cared for, so they feel at ease. In addition, after taking leave for more than a month, the time has come and they have to go back to work, and they have to leave no matter how reluctant their daughter is.

For Meng Pandi and his wife who took in their daughter when she was desperate, the old couple bought them a watch each. It's not that Zhao Battalion Commander and Meng Pandi can't afford watches, it's just that they live frugally and are reluctant to buy big ones.

It was a happy event.

Xu Manzhi also received seafood and dried fruit from Lin Qiao, as well as a letter. Xu Manzhi forbade Lin Qiao to send things and letters to her family frequently. If it wasn't a big deal, her daughter usually didn't send many letters.

School hadn't resumed yet, so in the afternoon she left school early and went to the post office to get a huge package, and took out all the food when she got home, and sure enough there was a letter inside, she couldn't wait to open it and read halfway through, Xu Manzhi felt that the whole world was bright up.

I didn't expect the eldest son to remarry so soon and find such a good partner.

Lin Zhenkai and Zhou Xiaodu arrived home one after another, and Xu Manzhi immediately shared the good news with them: "A letter from Lin Qiao said that your elder brother remarried and found her on the island. She said that your new sister-in-law is very nice." "That's good, mom.

" Don't you always worry that the elder brother can't take care of the little tree, so you don't have to worry about it now." Zhou Xiaodu said.

"This is the photo taken on the day the two of them received their certificates." Xu Manzhi handed over a photo, which she had looked at many times.

The couple looked at the photos together, and Zhou Xiaodu said: "My sister-in-law looks very young, and she is quite delicate, and she gets along with each other immediately."

"Your sister-in-law is twenty-four, one year older than you and Lin Qiao." Xu Manzhi said.

"Mom, how did my elder brother find such a partner? Letter to me." Lin Zhenkai said.

After reading the letter, Lin Zhenkai said in surprise: "The woman's father is still a minister? Does their family dislike our family?"

Xu Manzhi said: "Your new sister-in-law's experience is also quite tortuous. If it weren't for these experiences, how could she Come with your elder brother."

Lin Qiao didn't write in detail, but wrote out the general situation.

Zhou Xiaodu said: "Mom, you don't have to belittle yourself, just like Zhenkai and me, the woman is looking for my elder brother. My elder brother is divorced and has a baby, but he is knowledgeable and good at work. She must think that my elder brother has good conditions overall. I don't mind the family."

"You are all good daughters-in-law of the Lin family, you are definitely better than the daughters-in-law who married when the Lin family's conditions were good a few years ago, Mom will treat you all as her own daughters." Xu Manzhi said with emotion .

Lin Zhenkai said: "My elder brother must be cautious about remarrying. Besides, the new sister-in-law is guarded by Lin Qiao, she must be right. Mom, you don't have to worry about them now." Xu Manzhi said: "I think so too .

"

She moved out of the village, and Lin Peiyuan was sent down. She was very worried about the marriage of the three children, and felt that their marriage was hopeless. Unexpectedly, they were all good.

She thought it was because the three children were better than others that they were not affected by their status. Of course, God's favor was also indispensable, giving the Lin family more hope.

She began to tidy up the food, and said, "Xiaodu, our family is small in population, give half of the food that Lin Qiao sent over to your parents, or we wouldn't be able to eat so much." Zhou Xiaodu was tying up an apron, and said, "

Okay Yes, Zhenkai and I went to see them on Sunday, my dad has always been very concerned about my eldest brother, knowing that he remarried and married a good wife, my dad must be happy. What does mom have for dinner at night, can hand-rolled noodles be okay?"

Xu Manzhi put the letter away, put the photo in the special frame for the photo, and said: "Okay, just eat the hand-rolled noodles, wait for me and I will cook with you, I soaked the scallops, and it was almost ready, just put it In the noodles."

Lin Qiao also received a congratulatory gift from Xu Manzhi and his second brother and second sister-in-law for his elder brother's remarriage, all of which were fabrics, and a reply letter, in which besides writing that the three of them were happy for Lin Huaixuan, there was another big event, That is Zhou Xiaodu finally waited until the graduation assignment.

Last year, their graduates were not allocated, but this year they were allocated. Zhou Xiaodu originally worked as a temporary factory doctor in the film factory where Lin Zhenkai worked, and he didn't work for a long time. After graduation, he was assigned to work in Qingcheng No. 1 People's Hospital, and he officially joined the job a few days ago.

Lin Qiao felt very excited. Zhou Xiaodu had a good job, and she was worried that her father would also be sent down. This kind of thing didn't happen, and life would always get better.

——Huang

Meirong was tangled and sad. She was still thinking about whether to go to Lin Qiao and Lin Huaixuan again. Two days later, Gu Lin arranged for soldiers from the island to call her, which meant that there were no idlers on the island, and she didn’t want to leave. She had to go too, Huang Meirong had to take a landing craft to leave the island.

After returning home, of course she would not reveal the embarrassing behavior of Shangdao. She told the unit that her relative was seriously ill, and told her family that the unit had arranged a business trip.

Knowing that Wang Lianqiang planned to get married, the first thing she did when she got home was to mock Huang Meiqin.

"Sister, I thought you and your friendship would be stronger than Jin Jian and overcome all difficulties. Did he leave the cultural center to go to the printing factory, and you looked down on him? Do you know that he is going to get married? He has a bad reputation just like him, and I heard that he had been with a married man for a while, and both of them have bad reputations, and they happen to have similar smells, so don't dislike the other."

Huang Meiqin knew that she was very beautiful when she married Lin Huaixuan, and her younger sister envied her. Lin Huaixuan was used as the criterion for finding a partner. Now that she was divorced and flirted with her lover, Huang Meirong came to laugh at her.

Huang Meiqin frowned: "You don't have to speak in such a weird way."

"Sister, I'm just telling you the truth. Do you feel weird when you hear everyone talking now? I have one more important thing to tell you." Huang Meirong said with a smile.

Back then, Huang Meiqin always showed off in front of her, and always taught her not to be picky, and even tried to find someone like Lin Huaixuan with her own qualifications, and now she finally let out her breath.

"Lin Huaixuan is getting married too. The other party is eight years younger than him, young, handsome, good-natured, and never married." Huang Meirong paused, looking at Huang Meiqin's slightly distorted expression due to surprise, and said, "Would you rather Unexpectedly, his partner's father is from a good background, and he is still a minister in Haicheng. Our father originally wanted to promote the director, but now because of you, the deputy director can't do it, and now he is only a second-level chief staff member." "Impossible , Lin Huaixuan will never find such a partner, how can there be a girl with a minister's father who is willing to marry a second marriage and have a baby." Huang Meiqin denied it loudly, she was shocked by the news, and it was impossible to believe it. Huang Meirong chuckled lightly: "I'm surprised! Maybe it's Lin Huaixuan who is attractive. After divorce, you can still find someone better than you. How can you look for Wang Lianqiang? Now it's a good thing, the children and men are someone else's. Then A woman is not like you who dislike your son, she treats Xiaoshu as her own, and the family of three lives well." She raised her right hand and swore, "If I talk nonsense, I will be single forever." Huang Meiqin's eyes widened, Huang Meirong actually said If you curse and swear on a lifetime event, then what she said is true. Lin Huaixuan was able to find such a good partner. Those words were like needles piercing her heart, making her restless and sad. She thought that there was a small tree between her and Lin Huaixuan after all, and Lin Huaixuan would come to her if he didn't know how to bring a baby, so there was a possibility for them to remarry. Unexpectedly, Lin Huaixuan would remarry soon and find someone with such good conditions. If there is regret medicine in the world, she really wants to buy it and take it, back to before she messed with Wang Lianqiang. She wants to go back to her previous life. ——

Besides, the old man Meng and the old lady still had smallpox dreams of getting rich and getting rich.

Like Meng Tianbao, they thought that Meng Cidi had no money and no letter of introduction, and would have to come back in despair after staying outside for long.

Besides, they were indeed looking everywhere, but they couldn't find it at all.

Time passed day by day, and they couldn't wait any longer.

Tian Xiaohua couldn't hide her stomach anymore. She was pregnant with the grandson of the Meng family, which made the old couple very happy. After all, the old Meng family had the throne to inherit, so they couldn't cut off the incense.

As for why they said it was a boy, they asked several doctors to check their pulse, and they all said it was a boy.

But Tian Xiaohua knew that the little life in her belly was a treasure to Lao Meng's family, so of course she wanted to take Joe. She claimed that she would not have this child without five big tiled houses and a gift of one thousand yuan.

For the grandson in the belly of the village flower, they were so anxious that they were so anxious that they scrambled like ants on a hot pot all day long.

Later, Mrs. Meng got advice from an expert, who was her natal brother. The other party said: "Don't you just want two thousand yuan? It's not easy. Cidi's parents have never seen her, and they don't even have photos. If you haven't seen it before, you can find a girl to pretend to be, and you can fool the money." The

eyes of the old man and the old lady were shining when they saw Qian Yankai.

The old lady Meng slapped her thigh: "Good idea."

They made a plan together and came up with a plan: write to Cidi's parents and say that the person has been found, tell them to come here quickly, and let them see him after they give the money!

Old man Meng was very excited: "No way, this idea is really no way."

Anyway, this money is money for raising Cidi, and it is absolutely impossible to spit out the money after it is in their hands.

He Jiefang and Jiang Chaoying really received a letter from the old man Meng, saying that the person had been found, and asked them to rush to Mengjiazhuang with money as soon as possible and take Cidi away.

He Jiefang was puzzled: "What's going on? They said they found Cidi!"

Jiang Chaoying snorted: "Cidi doesn't even contact them. Where can they find her? I'm afraid they still don't know that Cidi is on the island! They are just trying to fool us and want to extort money!" "Then we don't

care They." He Jiefang said.

Seeing that her partner wanted to tear up the letter, Jiang Chaoying quickly took the letter and said, "Keep this letter safe. They didn't mention that they never raised Cidi, and even pushed her into the fire pit. Twenty yuan has already been stolen. They will come back later." Dare to extort money to see if I don’t deal with them!”

The old man Meng originally wanted to build five big tile-roofed houses, and then give a generous gift to marry Tian Xiaohua, but she couldn’t find Meng Cidi, who couldn’t get the money, Tian Xiaohua’s stomach She was getting bigger and bigger, so her heart broke, and she said to Yang Tianbao: "She is pregnant with the child of Lao Meng's family. Everyone knows about it. Who will want her? She can only marry you. You take care of her." Put it in her stomach, if she makes trouble again, she has to obediently come to our house."

Yang Tianbao made various promises to Tian Xiaohua, but they couldn't keep them, but after hearing what his grandparents said, he also felt that it was very reasonable.

Tian Xiaohua found out that everyone knew that she was married to Yang Tianbao, she was pregnant before marriage, and had already lost the capital to take Qiao, so she had no choice but to marry Yang Tianbao.

So Lao Meng's family married the village flower back home without spending much money. The family raised her for the "carrying" food in her belly. The eggs and even the chickens laid by the few grass chickens in the family went into her stomach, so they almost offered her up, but when Tian Xiaohua gave birth , the old man Meng was shocked and angry, there is no such thing as a baby "with a handle", it turned out to be a girl.

They blamed Tian Xiaohua, thinking that Tian Xiaohua's stomach was not up to date, that she could not give birth to a son, and all kinds of abuse and ridicule, but Tian Xiaohua and her family were not vegetarians, and they thought that the Meng family's lack of money had deceived them, and it was common for the two families to fight. The life of the Meng family is miserable.

——Lin

Qiao received a letter from Xu Manzhi. The second brother and second sister-in-law were very efficient. Zhou Xiaodu became pregnant after a month of marriage.

Meng Pandi gave birth to a baby girl again, the old man Zhao and the old lady were also illiterate from the countryside, but they were not the same as the old man Mengjia, they were not patriarchal at all, and loved their little granddaughter very much. He also said that they just like obedient and sensible girls.

The military wives brought some things, such as dried noodles, soap, towels, eggs, etc. Lin Qiao sent floral cotton cloth, and the child's full moon wine was a meal for the officers and wives.

"What's the name of the second girl!"

"I haven't come up with a big name yet. Lao Zhao hasn't decided on it after thinking about it for a month. The nickname is Xiaoshaoer.

" The name is ready-made, so it is called Xiaoguo."

The military wives laughed together.

After returning from dinner, Lin Qiao brought in the clothes to dry, folded them and said, "My second elder brother and second sister-in-law have a child after a month of marriage. Why don't we have one? According to the frequency of the two of us, logically speaking, we should have a child." Do you want to go to Rongcheng Hospital for an examination?"

Chapter 38

"We won't have problems, we don't need to go to the hospital, as long as I work hard, there will be." Gu Lin is very confident.

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "You are diligent enough."

She was just about to talk about this issue from a medical point of view, when Dou Dou ran in, pulled Lin Qiao by the hem of her clothes, and raised her head, "Mom, if you can have a baby, Dou Dou is the one who gave birth to you." Yes."

He really wanted Lin Qiao to believe that he was his mother's biological child, but he couldn't come up with any evidence.

Lin Qiao glanced at Gu Lin, they were talking too loudly just now, and they could hear them in the courtyard.

She hugged DouDou, kissed his little face and said, "DouDou is the child of Mom and Dad." "

Dad, Mom, you are still so young, you will definitely have a baby." DouDou said.

"Do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?" Lin Qiao asked.

Doudou thought for a while and said, "I want all my younger brothers and younger sisters."

Gu Lin said, "Okay, let's work harder and give you younger brothers and younger sisters."

——When

I came back from work this day, Gu Lin brought them back A big bucket of swimming crabs: "Today the fishing team caught a lot of crabs, all of which are full of yellow and paste. Let's eat more, it's a celebration for you.

" .

Gu Lin scooped up two for him and said: "Go and play, be careful not to pinch your hands."

Doudou gave one to Kong Kong and said, "Let's let the crabs compete."

Lin Qiao glanced at the bucket and said, "So We can’t finish eating in a few more days, what should I celebrate?”

“The graduates of the sixth and sixth grades of your school, except for a few with problems, have been assigned jobs, and I’m also doing graduation assignments for you recently. I was assigned to work as an island doctor on the island. Our place is considered a tenth class area, and the salary is higher than other places. According to the salary standard of a college graduate, the salary for the first year of internship is 51.95 cents, and after one year If you become a full-time employee, your salary will increase by ten yuan." Gu Lin said.

"I know that Zhou Xiaodu will assign work. I originally thought that I would just be an island doctor, but I didn't expect you to do it for me without saying a word, and the salary is higher than now." Lin Qiao said, she felt very excited.

"In addition to the high salary and large share of food, you are now a cadre, and the work of last year has also been counted as seniority." Gu Lin was also happy for her.

"If I hadn't married you, would I have a problem and couldn't assign work? Gu Lin, I'm in your favor, you're too kind to me." "Everything about you is my business

, I should do it for you, but you just got to know me." Gu Lin said.

Lin Qiao took two steps closer, hugged him and kissed him on the face, and said, "I knew you were good when I first met you."

Gu Lin was dissatisfied, and lowered her voice: "Are you calling this kiss? Me, I don't need to kiss now, I will save it until evening and make dinner first."

Lin Qiao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile.

Doudou, who was playing the crab race, looked up at his parents, who seemed to be discussing something behind his back!

"What's left until night?" Doudou asked.

Gu Lin said, "Keep the crabs until night."

Doudou turned his head, "Dad is fooling me."

Lin Qiao said, "Is it okay to make these crabs into bald butter? I can keep them for a longer period of time and eat them when I don't have time to cook." You can serve bald butter with rice or steamed buns, and stir-fry vegetables." "

I heard that bald butter is very troublesome to make, and it is also difficult to make delicious, will you?" Gu Lin asked.

"I will. Our mother Wu used to make bald butter every autumn." Lin Qiao said.

"What kind of life did your family live in the past?" Gu Lin carried the bucket to the water tank, took the brush, and began to scrub the crabs.

The golden bald butter is poured on the noodles, and the ordinary noodles instantly become delicious in the world. The aroma of crab and lard is overflowing, and Doudou has been hungry for a long time. He couldn't wait to take a bite and said, "Mom, it's too fresh. Everything has changed, is there any more after this meal?"

Gu Lin said: "Eat what is in the bowl and stare at what is in the pot."

Lin Qiao said with a smile: "There are three big cans, enough to eat many meals around."

Gu Lin also felt that the bald butter was salty, sweet and rich, Said: "I will do it later when there are crabs."

——Gu

Lin's unremitting cultivation has finally borne fruit.

Lin Qiao's appetite has been getting worse and worse recently, and she feels like throwing up when she smells oily smoke.

Gu Lin found that she ate lightly in the past few days. She didn't eat seafood at all, and only ate boiled vegetables, raw cucumbers, tomatoes, and radishes.

"Are you eating grass instead?" Gu Lin said while looking at Lin Qiao's slightly pale face while they were clearing up the dishes after eating.

"I checked my own pulse and it seems that I'm pregnant. It's been more than two months based on the regular days." Lin Qiao said happily.

Gu Lin originally thought that he would be very happy, but now he didn't feel the joy of having another child in his family at all. He was worried about Lin Qiao's nutrition, so he took all the dishes and said, "Don't work in the future, cook and wash. I don’t need you for the bowl, and I’ll do the cooking as much as possible. Others can eat especially when they’re pregnant, but how can you gain nutrition if you can’t eat anything?” “Everyone’s situation is different. Some people have short-term morning sickness, while others

will vomit until they give birth.” Lin Qiao was not worried at all, she walked to the kitchen with Gu Lin, "I'm only two months old, and I can work."

Gu Lin insisted not to let her wash the dishes, and asked: "You can always drink malted milk. After washing the dishes, the two of them went back to the house. Gu Lin made her a cup of steaming malted milk, and pulled a chair for her to sit down :

"Malted milk is not greasy, so you can eat it anyway." Look at Lin

Qiao After drinking the malted milk essence, he was relieved and said, "I'm going to buy a few more cans of malted milk essence."

His thoughts diverged, and he said, "The canned fruit and boiled eggs are also very light. I'll go and boil two eggs."

Lin Qiao said: "Don't bother, I don't feel hungry."

"You can't eat that, just wait a while," Gu Lin said.

Ten minutes later, two boiled eggs were soaked in cold water and brought in. Luckily, Lin Qiao could eat the eggs, and the other egg was eaten by Dou Dou.

Lin Qiao discussed with Gu Lin: "We have to make an agreement with DouDou. Even if we have younger brothers and sisters, he is still our child. We will treat him as well as before, and we must not let him be left out." Gu Lin nodded: "

I I think so too."

During dinner at night, Lin Qiao told DouDou that there would be an extra child in the family.

The little guy's eyes sparkled, and he cheered, "Great, I'm going to have younger brothers and sisters."

Gu Lin stroked his soft hair and said, "Even if your mother gave birth to a baby, we will still treat you as our own. He is our eldest son."

Doudou is more confident than the two of them: "I was born by you, I am the eldest son."

Lin Qiao smiled gently: "Okay, Doudou, you were born by your parents, you are Our dears, be good, little cub."

Doudou patted his small chest, "I will definitely help my mother take care of my younger brothers and sisters."

"Mom will also take good care of you." Lin Qiao said.

On Sunday afternoon, Lin Qiao and He Yunxiu took their two children to the pier to wait for the big ship to arrive. They wanted to send a letter to their family, telling Xu Manzhi about Lin Qiao's pregnancy.

The things sent home this time were prepared by He Yunxiu, and they were all kinds of dried seafood and dried fruits.

At the pier, Lin Qiao saw Grandpa Lan who was anxiously guarding the pier.

The other party was sitting on the highest reef, smoking a hookah, and turned his head to look at the sea, like a statue.

Lin Qiao greeted the other party and said, "Grandpa, you are waiting for the letter here!"

Grandpa Lan turned his head, saw Lin Qiao, greeted her warmly, and said, "No, I just won't let Lan When Ren contacted Huang Yading, she had given Lan Naren an obsessive drug, who knows what else she would use."

Lin Qiao said: "Grandpa, the chairman taught us to seek truth from facts. Have you seen Huang Yading take the medicine?" Grandpa Lan said, "Lan

Naren is very educated and independent in his studies, and he was fascinated by Huang Yading. By the way, do you think she can't take the medicine?"

What he has to do now is to guard against death and cut off the contact between them.

When the big ship arrived, Lin Qiao and the others also got the package from Xu Manzhi from the postman.

"Grandma sent so many things." Doudou and Xiaoshu struggled to carry the big package, seeing how hard they were carrying it, He Yunxiu took the package.

It must be all kinds of meat. Lin Qiao said: "Now that your family of three and Dad are here, Mom sends more things." He

Yunxiu felt a little sorry, and said, "Mom and the second brother and sister don't have many cloth tickets or meat tickets. Definitely save money and send it to us."

Lin Qiao said, "We also sent a lot of dried seafood, enough for them to eat." "

Sister-in-law He, and your package." The postman said.

He Yunxiu handed the things sent by her mother-in-law to Doudou and Xiaoshu, and bent over to carry the snakeskin bag. She said, "It's really heavy. It was sent by my parents. This is food." Put the things to

send They handed it over to the postman, and the four of them wanted to leave with their things. Lin Qiao heard Grandpa Lan asking the postman over and over again: "Is there really no letter from Lan Naren? I don't believe he didn't contact the poison master." Huang Yading didn't come to wait

. Xin, if she dares to come, he will definitely scold her back.

The postman said: "Grandpa, haven't you searched for it several times, no."

Beside, Mrs. Huang took a letter, and the unwilling Grandpa Lan looked at her hand. Mrs. Huang raised the letter in her hand, Said: "Grandpa, you read it carefully, this is my letter, not from your Lan Naren." "

You have no relatives outside the island, who will send you a letter!"

"Grandpa, you can't control this." .”

Grandpa Lan's literacy is limited, but he knows Lan Naren's handwriting. He said: "This handwriting is like a spider crawling. My second son's handwriting is much better than this.

" , quickly glanced at the mailing address, and saw that it was different from Lan Naren's address, so he was relieved.

Carrying the things back to Lin Qiao's house first, seeing that Xu Manzhi sent bacon and sausages, as well as mahua, peanuts, walnuts and other forbidden things, He Yunxiu said, "It's just right, these things are for your nutrition."

"I can't eat so much. You can get some for Xiaoshu. Xiaoshu will grow up and eat well." Lin Qiao said.

Then he opened the snakeskin bag sent by He Yunxiu's parents, and it was mostly a bag of rice. Lin Qiao said: "Your parents are also very kind to you. They must be worried that you don't have enough fine grains, so they

saved their own rations and sent them to you."

Some rice for you and my second sister."

They divided things up, Lin Qiao took the rice, and He Yunxiu brought back a pack of meat and snacks.

For the next period of time, Gu Lin kept tossing and trying various foods. Lin Qiao could eat stewed beef and roasted pork jerky, so he tried to find a way to buy beef and pork to make these two things.

After more than four months, Lin Qiao's morning sickness disappeared, and the family finally resumed a normal diet.

——Huang

Yading is learning cultural knowledge by herself recently. Lin Qiao helped her to tell the primary school teacher that she was allowed to sit in on the fifth and sixth grade classes when she had time. In this way, Huang Yading sat with a group of children who were much younger than her. in class.

She only went there when she was free, and she used borrowed old books, and the school did not charge her tuition.

The other parents didn't say anything, except Lan Na Snake. He went to the school to find a teacher, saying that his child would go to class with Huang Yading, and he was worried. The teacher said that everyone could come to school, but Lan Na Snake couldn't, so he came to Lin Qiao again.

"You said that a person of her age is going to class with children, do you have any intentions?" Lan Na Snake said.

Lin Qiao said: "Huang Yading is only five or six years older than the children in the class. As you can see, she is studying culture seriously. She can read newspapers now." "She is different from others. She

is A person who knows how to use poison, there are so many children in the school, how can she go to school?" Lan Lana snake said.

Lin Qiao said: "There are poisonous things everywhere. Isn't rat poison easy to buy? Besides, there are so many poisonous plants on the island. It doesn't matter whether you have the formula in your hand. The key is people's hearts." Lan Na Snake said:

" Then how do you know that Huang Yading has no intention of harming others."

Lin Qiao said: "It is difficult for us to judge whether others have intentions of harming others, and Huang Yading is the same."

Lan Na Snake couldn't say anything else, thinking and thinking Said: "I know you have no intention of harming others, Dr. Lin, you are educated, and everything you say is right, but I always feel that something is not right. I can't talk to you, and I can't refute you. Be down-to-earth."

Gu Lin also counted the number of islanders who want to learn culture on the island, and decided to open a literacy class, which is located in the primary school on the island. The primary school teacher is the teacher of the literacy class, teaching literacy and arithmetic. The islanders have no time to farm or fish during the day, so literacy classes are held at night, with one class every other day. The islanders are very enthusiastic about learning, and most of them are young people. One classroom is almost full during class time, and even Lan Na Snake comes to class. He doesn’t mind sitting in the same classroom with Huang Yading in order to learn some cultural knowledge. This morning, as soon as Lin Qiao arrived at the medical office, Xu Haiou gave her a piece of brocade. "I got this from the fence of the medical office in the morning. Last night I heard a dog barking twice. I thought someone was coming to see the doctor. It stopped barking after the eighth. I saw this piece of brocade in the morning. What do you say?" Who would put Li brocade on the fence?" She pointed to the pattern on it: "Look at the kapok pattern, it looks like it was embroidered by Huang Yading, did she give it to you?"

This piece of brocade is still red, with bright patterns of deer, birds, and kapok on it. Lin Qiao took Li brocade, shook it away, and said, "If she sends me brocade, it's okay to come directly during the day." "

Hey , there is a note." A note fell from the folded brocade, Xu Haiou picked it up, read the words on it, and handed it to Lin Qiao, "It really is for you." On the

note It only says "Doctor Lin in memory", without signing.

Lin Qiao thought for a while and said, "It should be from Huang Yading. Did she leave the island? Give me a piece of brocade before leaving?" She didn't want the

islanders to misunderstand that her departure from the island was related to Dr. Lin, so she used this subtle way bid farewell.

Xu Haiou said: "It's possible, but how can she get out of the island when it's so dark at night? She's not very popular on the island, who will send her out."

If she really goes out of the island, I hope she can successfully reunite with her boyfriend. smoothly.

Lin Qiao saw that in the middle and lower part of the brocade there was a row of embroidered villains, some were carrying baskets picking herbs, some were carrying a medicine box, and some were listening to their heartbeat with a stethoscope. They should be embroidered images of themselves.

What a special gift.

Huang Yading is skillful and caring.

In the next few days, Huang Yading really disappeared. Lin Qiao inquired carefully, and soon got news of her from Lan Na Snake.

Lan Nashe said that his younger brother, Lan Naren, would come back home to have a look before going to the unit to report, but he never came back, and secretly followed Huang Yading, who ran out of the island to find him, to get a marriage certificate. He majored in mechanical and electrical engineering, so he could have stayed in Rongcheng, but for Huang Yading, he insisted on going to Huadu, which is not a shit. Now he works in a machinery factory, and Huang Yading is a family worker.

The Lan family moaned and sighed all day long, and worked hard to raise promising children, but they were hooked up and taken away by the "poison master".

——Just

after breakfast on Sunday, Gu Lin went to the camp again, and He Yunxiu came with Xiaoshu.

Lin Qiao was taking all the dirty clothes outside for washing, and asked, "My elder brother also works overtime."

He Yunxiu moved the big wooden basin to scoop water, and said, "Yes, I've been a little busy these days."

After scooping up the water, He Yunxiu took all the clothes and put them in the basin, put some soap powder on it and said, "I see you The house is quite clean, I’ll come over on Sunday to clean it up for you, and you usually save your clothes, so I’ll wash them for you.”

Lin Qiao said, “That’s so embarrassing, I can still work now, I have to exercise, It’s easy to live like this.”

“What’s so embarrassing, I have nothing to do on Sunday, and the three of us don’t do much housework, so why can’t we take care of you? We just don’t live together. If we live together, how can pregnant women work? Yes." He Yunxiu said.

Seeing that she pulled the bench and sat down to do the laundry, Lin Qiao said, "I did it myself."

He Yunxiu said, "I am your sister-in-law, and I should take care of you. I did all kinds of hard work in the countryside, but now life is better, I don’t feel comfortable when I don’t have much work to do.”

Lin Qiao smiled and said, “It’s nice to have you as my sister-in-law.”

She also took a bench and sat down to wash, and was The other party refused: "I'll work for you when I'm here, and you can do it yourself when I'm not here."

Lin Qiao sat beside her and chatted with her.

He Yunxiu said: "Lin Qiao, I see that your belly is a bit big. When I went to the island, my third sister was six months old. Their small spoon is not small. She was born at six catties and four taels. You are also six months old. It's about the same as when she was eight months."

Lin Qiao said, "I also feel that my belly is bigger than the average person."

"Could it be because I'm pregnant with two." He Yunxiu said.

Lin Qiao was originally thin, and she didn't have a small bulge in her lower abdomen until the fourth month, but it grew very fast after that, and she also felt that she might be pregnant with twins.

She felt her own pulse, twins too.

"Then we have to go outside the island for a checkup and do a B-ultrasound." Lin Qiao said.

"Why don't you go check it out?" He Yunxiu said.

Lin Qiao said, "I'll ask Gu Lin when he comes back."

When Gu Lin came back from the camp, Lin Qiao told him that he wanted to go for an inspection. It happens that a landing craft leaves early and returns late, so we will go out with the landing craft so that we can come back on the same day. I will contact the military hospital and register first, so as not to have to wait in line there."

Lin Qiao nodded and said yes.

After three days at six o'clock in the morning, He Yunxiu came over early in the morning and took Doudou to the farm. Lin Qiao and the others set off on a landing craft after breakfast.

Lin Qiao didn't suffer from motion sickness and seasickness at first, but she became seasick after she became pregnant. She leaned against Gu Lin's body listlessly, she didn't dare to move, she felt like vomiting.

Gu Lin hugged his wife with one arm, wiped her sweat and fed her water.

"Would you like some guava?" Gu Lin asked, this is the only fruit at home, Lin Qiao also likes to eat it.

Lin Qiao took a sip of some cold water and said, "I don't want to eat it."

Gu Lin complained, "The fruits on the island are a bit smelly, except for coconuts, there is nothing refreshing.

" Lin Qiao finally got better when she went ashore. Gu Lin helped her to walk ashore, and said distressedly, "If I know how to give birth, I will do it myself. I will definitely not let you suffer." Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing at him

, Said: "Don't tease me."

"I'll carry your back." Seeing that Lin Qiao's face was a little pale, Gu Lin felt very distressed.

"It will crush the baby, and besides, I can walk by myself." Lin Qiao said.

"Then hold it." As soon as the words finished, Gu Lin leaned over, and hugged Lin Qiao in a very steady and light movement.

His chest was broad and his arms were strong, holding Lin Qiao firmly, as if effortlessly.

Lin Qiao hooked his arms around his neck, and buried her face in his chest: "There are so many people here, we have already seen both of us."

Gu Lin said, "Why, who can make irresponsible remarks when I hug my daughter-in-law? They want to hug them and hug them."

She contacted her comrades to pick them up, and when she saw the comrades driving the jeep, Gu Lin was still hugging his wife.

"Get in the car, Gu Tuan, what's the matter, sister-in-law? Let's hurry up." The comrade parked the car near the pier and waited for them. When he saw the two of them, he thought that something had happened to Lin Qiao, so he jumped out of the car. Open the back seat door.

Gu Lin said: "Your sister-in-law gets seasick, so she probably will too."

The comrade-in-arms breathed a sigh of relief, "It will be fine when we get to the asphalt road, I'll drive steadily."

Gu Lin directly carried Lin Qiao into the car, Then he got in the car and closed the door, put his arms around her, and let her lean on him.

"Sister-in-law, sit down, the road is a bit steep, let's set off." The comrade-in-arms said.

When I arrived at the military hospital, I had a B-ultrasound examination, and the doctor said that they were really twins.

Gu Lin was a little excited, and rubbed his hands: "Daughter-in-law, we have two babies at once."

After raising Doudou for so long, he has found the feeling of being a father, and he is looking forward to these two babies.

"All the indicators are pretty good. Do you want to know the sex of the fetus?" the doctor asked hesitantly.

Even though I asked like this, seeing the doctor's impatient look, I really wanted to tell the couple in front of me right away.

Gu Lin looked at Lin Qiao: "Do you want to know?"

Lin Qiao was a little hesitant, of course she wanted to know, but it would be interesting to wait until the child was born to reveal, so there is something to look forward to.

She said: "We'll talk about it after the birth."

The doctor felt that the couple was really calm, and she was almost suffocated, so she had to say: "Okay, you will know when you are born." When you come out of the hospital, you have to wait for the landing

craft Back on the island, Gu Lin said: "I have already booked a room at the military guest house, not far away, let's go and rest for a while."

Chapter 39

Gu Lin was very thoughtful and arranged very well. Lin Qiao didn't have to think about anything, so she nodded and said, "Let's go."

The two walked in the corridor, Gu Lin helped Lin Qiao, and said, "I'm going to give birth to six children. How do you give birth to seven children? This time, I find it difficult to conceive."

Lin Qiao said, "It's much easier to have one, but the burden on two is much heavier." "

Let's have this one time, and three children are enough .” Gu Lin said.

Lin Qiao thought it was okay.

They lived in a single room with only a bed more than one meter wide. The bed was covered with white sheets and bedding. Gu Lin helped Lin Qiao lie down. She wiped her face and hands, gave her some water, and then squeezed beside her, and the two lay face to face very intimately.

Gu Lin stroked her face lightly: "Daughter-in-law, it's really hard work for you."

Lin Qiao said, "Any woman gives birth like this. Many men don't take childbirth seriously, and think it's easy and easy." , You know it’s good to

feel sorry for your wife.” “It’s not enough just to feel sorry for you.” Gu Lin said, he will now take care of the housework, cook as much as possible and reduce going out, he feels that he can’t do more.

"I'm going out to meet my comrades," he glanced at his watch, "it won't take long, so bring back lunch by the way, do you want something light?"

Lin Qiao said, "I have a good appetite now, and I want something heavy Yes."

Gu Lin nodded: "Then I'll buy something with a stronger flavor."

When it was past eleven o'clock, Gu Lin came back with three dishes, braised pork ribs, ginger pig's heel and stir-fried pea tips, all of which they usually eat. An infrequent dish.

Gu Lin handed over a steamed bun and said, "The lunch box can't fit, why don't we buy two more dishes."

Each dish is very big, enough to fill three lunch boxes, "It's enough to eat." Lin Qiao said .

She ate a piece of pig's trotter, which had a strong ginger flavor, slightly sweet, smooth and soft, without any peculiar smell or greasy taste.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law has a good appetite, Gu Lin felt relieved. He picked the bad ribs and pig's trotters to eat by himself, and left the good ones to his daughter-in-law.

He took off the bones from the ribs and put them in Lin Qiao's bowl: "Eat more, other women can gain weight when they are pregnant, but you are still very thin, with such a big belly, I don't know if you have enough nutrition ?”

“Sure enough, eat seafood every day.” Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin said again: "It's not enough to only eat seafood, let's eat more pork."

The two of them ate up all the food and strolled downstairs in the guest house for a while, Lin Qiao went back to rest, Gu Lin went out again, and when he came back He brought back a very heavy snakeskin bag. In addition to sausages and bacon, there are also ten catties of fresh pork, all of which are bought directly from the meat factory.

It was past six o'clock when the two returned to the island, and DouDou, Xiao Shu and Kong Kong were standing at the door waiting eagerly.

The two were called Lin Qiao at the same time, and they ran over together, Kongkong ran faster than the two of them.

"Mom, we have been waiting for a day, are there two babies?" Doudou asked.

"Yes." Lin Qiao touched the heads of the two children.

"Great, we have younger brothers and sisters." DouDou cheered.

"It must be a younger brother, a younger sister." Xiaoshu said.

While talking, a few people entered the courtyard. He Yunxiu and Lin Huaixuan were making dinner when they heard the voice and greeted them, and said with a smile: "Great, there are really two. Good luck, yo, why is your face a little pale, are you too tired, go into the house and rest."

Gu Lin carried the snakeskin bag into the kitchen, and said: "This trip is really tossing, Lin Qiao is motion sick and seasick "

"I'm fine, but luckily I'll be fine as soon as I get off the boat." Lin Qiao said.

Lin Huaixuan said: "Your sister-in-law took a leave of absence in the afternoon, went to the stockade, bought five big roosters, stewed one with bamboo fungus, and scattered the other four chicken coops. You can keep them for later. .”

Gu Lin has already taken out all the sausages and bacon from the snakeskin bag, hung them in the shade by the kitchen wall, set aside a part for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to take back, and then divided a large piece of pork rump into two, saying: "Do it!" Stew the braised pork, and make the rest into pork jerky for the children and Lin Qiao to eat when they are hungry.”

Soon the smell of braised pork came from the kitchen, and when the braised pork was ready, Lin Qiao asked the two children to give it to Battalion Commander Zhao and Political Commissar Gao Everyone is ready.

Gu Lin has already lit a fire in the oven, heated up the oven, and made all the remaining pork into pork jerky.

In order to supplement Lin Qiao's nutrition, the three of them were busy until after ten o'clock.

Lin Qiao packed some sausages, bacon and dried pork for them, and took a flashlight: "Hurry up and go back, the road is dark, walk carefully." The eldest brother and sister-in-law refused to take these meats, Lin Qiao said it was for Xiaoshu to

eat , the two were taken away.

These days, when He Yunxiu is not at work, besides taking care of Lin Qiao, he is also making shoes for Zhou Xiaodu and Lin Qiao’s two children. The children of the second brother’s family make winter cotton shoes according to the size of their small feet. Shoes can be big or small, and they can be worn all year round anyway.

——Lin

Qiao received a letter from Xu Manzhi. Zhou Xiaodu gave birth to a baby girl. Lin Peiyuan named her Lin Jiaqi. I hope the situation of the Lin family will improve.

Xu Manzhi was also worried about Lin Qiao's confinement and childcare. In the letter, Mama Wu said that she wanted to come to the island to take care of the confinement child. The relationship between Mama Wu and the Lin family was like a family. She would go back when the Lin family fell. Back home, when Lin Qiao was divorced, Xu Manzhi thought about sending Lin Qiao to Wu Ma's hometown to avoid the limelight.

Aunt Wu's son used to pay the tuition fees of Lin Qiao's school, and the Lin family also contributed to the work assigned after graduation from technical secondary school. Mama Wu wanted to repay her without asking for a salary. She said she would take care of Lin Qiao as a relative, but Xu Manzhi still felt that it was inappropriate. , but there is no other suitable person to take care of Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao wrote back to her saying that Mother Gu would come to take care of her.

"It's a good thing that my mother wants to take care of her. My sister-in-law didn't have this kind of treatment. At that time, my mother was busy with work, and my sister-in-law had two children. She couldn't spare time to come. Which daughter-in-law doesn't expect her mother-in-law to take care of her confinement, you You should be happy, what are you worried about?" Gu Lin didn't understand at all.

"I'm not worried that your mother doesn't like me because of my background!" Lin Qiao said.

"When we got married, my mother wrote to say that she likes you." Gu Lin said.

"It's one thing to say, it's one thing to do. Your mother is happy when you marry a daughter-in-law. No matter who you marry, she will be very happy. Besides, your mother is an expert in many communication codes. I think she may not be easy to contact. Maybe she is not very willing to take care of others, nor is she very good at taking care of others." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin smiled lightly, holding Lin Qiao's with two thick and dry hands, he could now understand all her worries, and said, "Why, only kind-hearted old ladies can take care of people! You think she is an expert Contact, she still thinks you are a pampered young lady who is not easy to contact. Isn't it simple, my mother is here, if you don't get along well, I will let her go back." Lin Qiao's hands were wrapped in his big hands

, Every word he said made her feel at ease: "I will try my best to have a good relationship with your mother." "

No, don't force yourself, if you don't get along well, you won't get along well. Let's let her go back and let Mama Wu come." Gu Rin didn't think it was a big deal, and said in a very relaxed tone, "Besides, think about it, you used to be very popular in school and on the island, my mother will like you." "Okay, then I don't worry about

it .” Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin helped Lin Qiao sit down on the edge of the bed, knelt down and gently pinched her legs, and said, "Anyway, I won't let you be wronged."

Lin Qiao looked at his hair and smiled: "I won't let you be wronged." You are in a dilemma."

Gu Lin said, "Don't worry, it's such a big deal, I won't make it difficult." Lin Qiao was

worried, and Zhou Shu also became worried as Lin Qiao's due date approached, just as Gu Lin thought, She was also worried that she would not get along well with Miss Lin Qiao.

At that time, Gu Lin said that he was going to marry Lin Qiao, and the couple also got to know the situation of the Lin family and Lin Qiao thoroughly.

"Lin Qiao used to go to dances, go to clubs to play piano, play tennis, have a car at home, and wear fur in winter, and our son is from two different worlds." Zhou Shu said.

Gu Shoubei disapproved: "She can still do this on the island now?"

"I mean, she is too different from Gu Lin. You said that Gu Lin went to a military academy and was also a college student. Why is he so rough? He speaks rough How did we bring up this son? Can he and Lin Qiao live well?" Zhou Shu said.

"I think it's good for Gu Lin to be like this. A soldier has to look like a soldier. Our old man likes Gu Lin the most. Besides, you're worried about it when their child is about to be born?" Gu Shoubei felt that his wife was just a latecomer.

"I don't care what they are doing. Anyway, I can't see it if they are far away. I don't want to wait on the confinement. I am worried about conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." Zhou Shu said.

She was born in a poor family. When she was young, she walked with the team in order to be able to eat. She went to the Anti-Japanese University, climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands with Gu Shoubei. She suffered a lot. The three children grew up with great difficulty. She is not in the same category as her daughter-in-law, and she is not in the same category as her daughter-in-law.

"You've only been with them for more than four months, just stick to it and it will pass." Gu Shoubei advised her, "If Lin Qiao can't take care of three children, you can bring one back and let us raise them. Anyway, we have a nursery here. During the day Put it in the nursery and pick it up at night."

The husband and wife agreed, and Zhou Shu thought it was a good idea: "Are they willing to let me take the child away?"

Gu Shoubei said: "Then bring Doudou back, anyway, it's not their own. , who knows if having a biological child will be bad for the adopted one."

Zhou Shu is now full of confidence: "Okay, that's it, I'll go over and see and try to bring a child back."

Lin Qiao received children's quilts, clothes, thin quilts, and soft cotton fabrics from both mothers one after another. The two mothers were worried about lack of nutrition. Zhou Shu also sent malted milk and canned food. I sent beef jerky and various dried vegetables.

You don't need a ticket to buy vegetables, but you have to wash, cook, and dry them in the courtyard, which is also a lot of work.

"They send so much to their children, so I don't need to prepare." Lin Qiao said.

She greeted Doudou: "Grandma and grandma both sent you things. Grandma sent you a small military uniform and a military cap, and grandma sent a pair of leather sandals.

" Quickly changed her clothes and shoes, and said, "Mom, I'm not in good spirits, thank them for me when I reply."

Lin Qiao looked at his son in green military uniform, and said with a smile, "Same spirit as your father, and looks more and more like him." Your father."

Gu Lin said: "Your mother's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, I love to listen to you if you say a few more words."

Needless to say, her own mother, Lin Qiao didn't expect that Zhou Shu would consider not neglecting Doudou, so she inferred from this , she must be a kind-hearted person who is easy to get along with.

Gu Lin bent down to help Dou Dou fasten the buttons of the leather sandals.

Both the clothes and shoes were a little too big, Lin Qiao said, "The clothes are fine, and the shoes can be worn later." "

Then I'll change the shoes," Doudou said.

"These clothes have to be washed." Lin Qiao said, she took out all the clothes and quilts, and prepared to wash them once.

"You rest, I'll do the washing, and I'll do all the housework from now on." Gu Lin carried all the clothes piled on the bed into the big tub, and scooped water to soak them.

——Gu

Lin prepared a room for his mother, which was also a brown stretch bed. Considering that he would take the child to sleep, it was a double bed, and he moved the wardrobe from the office for his mother to use temporarily.

Finally came the day of Zhou Shulai, and the big boat arrived at around two o'clock in the afternoon as usual.

Gu Lin can't predict what will happen to the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He must go to the pier to take his mother to the house. He must be present when mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meet for the first time.

Lin Qiao also wanted to go to the pier, she said: "I will go too, so that we will feel that we value her."

Gu Lin hurriedly stopped: "Grandma, how can you go with such a big belly? We don't have to do it, you'd better stay at home, I'll go with DouDou." DouDou

also said, "I'll go pick up grandma with my father, and take care of mother at home

when I'm free. " Bought a snakeskin bag that looked heavy, Zhou Shu was carrying big and small bags, even Doudou was carrying a bag in his hand, and the three of them went home together.

"Mom, my grandma is here." Doudou yelled before reaching the door.

Hearing the shout, Lin Qiao came out from the house, just in time to see three people walking into the courtyard.

"Mom." Lin Qiao looked at Zhou Shu, originally thought that a professional technician like her in the army would be as difficult to approach as Gu Lin, but she didn't expect that the other party had a smile on his face and looked gentle and kind.

Zhou Shu looked at Lin Qiao, seeing that she was wearing a floral top, ordinary trousers and shoes, slender limbs, and the belly of the twins was much larger than the average nine-month-old belly. Miss, is the daughter-in-law who gave birth to children for their Gu family.

She seemed to like this daughter-in-law very much. She didn't expect that their third son had such a good eye, and she could find such a good wife.

And this mother's cry was natural and affectionate, which made her feel at ease.

"Hey, Lin Qiao, how tiring it is to stand with such a big belly, quickly, Gu Lin move her a chair." Zhou Shu said.

Gu Lin put down the snakeskin bag, and carried a few bags from Zhou Shuhe Doudou's hands into the house, and saw that Kong Kong was struggling to move the chair. One said, "I'll come Kong Kong."

Kong Kong followed Gu Lin and ran into the yard.

Gu Lin took the chair to the papaya tree in the yard and said, "Mom, sit down for a while." Then she helped Lin Qiao sit down again.

DouDou brought out several bowls of Qingbuliang from the house, and said, "Grandma, this is coconut milk Qingbuliang made by my mother. She said you must be tired and thirsty all the way, so I made it specially for you.

" Education is really sensible, and it has been in the sun for a long time, so let's take a good rest, come, sit on grandma's lap." Zhou Shu said.

"Grandma, you are tired, I'd better sit by myself." Doudou said.

Kongkong brought two benches, one person and one monkey sat next to grandma.

Zhou Shu picked up a bowl and took a sip, the sweet taste was refreshing, and said: "It's delicious, it should be troublesome to make, Gu Lin, Lin Qiao is not convenient to move, and you still let her do these things." Gu Lin said

: "Mom, your daughter-in-law wants to make drinks for you, can I stop her? Besides, Mom, you come all the way, we should make some drinks." Zhou Shu said with a smile: "

Lin Qiao, you don't know, Gu Rin used to talk like him, with a stinky and tough temper, and he refused to say a single nice word, and I didn’t even bother to talk to him, when did he talk so nicely.” Dudou exposed his

dad: “Grandma, my dad is very talkative in front of my mother . Sweet, just pick what my mother likes to hear, you will definitely find out if you stay in my house for a few months." "

Really, Gu Lin, it's different to have a wife." Zhou Shu asked with a smile.

Gu Lin said to Doudou: "Stinky boy, remember, you have to save face for your father."

Zhou Shu looked at the small courtyard. There were vegetables on the left side, chicken coops on the right side, and bananas, papaya, dragon fruit and lychees. tree, she said: "Your yard is nice, like an orchard and a vegetable garden. It is convenient to eat vegetables and fruits." Zhou Shu said with satisfaction after looking around.

It seems that the son and daughter-in-law are very good at living.

Dou Dou greeted Kong Kong, and ran to the lychee tree together, Dou Dou climbed up the tree first, and Kong Kong followed with the basket under the tree.

Zhou Shu was amazed by the tacit cooperation between the child and the little monkey, and shouted, "Doudou, be careful."

She looked at the villain standing between the branches, feeling a little dazed, as if seeing Gu Lin when she was a child again, she really looked like him.

Lin Qiao said: "It's okay, he always climbs up and down."

Soon, he came over with a small basket of lychees. She took out all the items in several bags, except for her own few clothes and daily necessities, the other three bags were for them, including fabric, bacon, sausage, various canned food, malted milk and Milk powder, as well as various snacks such as biscuits, meat floss, plum, sour plum powder, and fruit peel.

Zhou Shu was afraid that they would not have enough food, so she brought rice, and said that if there was not enough food, Gu Shoubei would find a way to come over.

Lin Qiao asked, "Mom, then my dad probably doesn't have enough food for this month."

"Let your dad borrow some from the neighbor and pay it back in the next two months." Zhou Shu said.

She handed over a fruit peel: "Do you like it? Pregnant women like to eat some hawthorn and radish."

Lin Qiao took it and said, "I love it, I can eat anything."

"Come on, go around, let's eat fruit peel. "Zhou Shu greeted Doudou, "Come on, these are for you and your mother."

Looking at Kong Kong with his big round eyes, Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment, and handed it one too.

Kongkong immediately became more fond of Zhou Shu, took Guodanpi over, and squeaked happily to express his thanks.

Zhou Shu looked at Kong Kong like Dou Dou, and took the fruit peel in his hand, reluctant to eat it: "Why do you raise this monkey like a child." "

This macaque understands human nature." Lin Qiao said.

"Grandma, Kong Kong is as smart as a child, he is my friend." Doudou said proudly.

Zhou Shu put all kinds of food into the cupboard and the fabrics into the closet. After finishing all these tasks, she said to Lin Qiao, "From now on, you don't have to do anything except go to work. I will do all the laundry and cooking. All you have to do is to feed yourself." Good health, you don't need to be born with me, just treat me as your own mother."

"Okay, Mom. I can also do some work, so I can have more activities so I can have a baby." Lin Qiao said.

Zhou Shu said: "You can do activities, but you don't need to work. I will cook according to your eating habits, but I don't know how to cook seafood." "Mom, we have

a lot of seafood here. Try some more. " It will happen next time." Gu Lin said.

"I heard that eating crabs is not good for pregnant women, so you should not eat them," Zhou Shu said.

Lin Qiao said, "Mom, it's fine for me to eat crabs. I've been eating them all the time." "

Crabs are cold. You should be careful when you're a month old. Let's eat less seafood in the future." Zhou Shu said.

"Okay, Mom, I won't eat crabs from now on, and eat less seafood." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin said, "I'll try to buy as much pork as possible."

Seeing that there were fine beads of sweat on Lin Qiao's face, Zhou Shu went to wring out a warm towel and wipe Lin Qiao's face and arms very lightly, smiling while wiping: " Our family Lin Qiao is really good-looking, with good-looking eyes, nose, and mouth, much more beautiful than those female soldiers in the art troupe, no wonder people say that Gu Lin picked a very handsome wife." Gu Lin said: "Mom

, Am I such a superficial person?"

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "You are when it comes to finding a wife."

Lin Qiao felt that Zhou Shu was really like her own mother, and the two of them got along cordially and naturally, without feeling strange at all.

In the evening, Zhou Shu cooked bacon stewed rice with carrots, shiitake mushrooms and potatoes, as well as stir-fried Chinese cabbage, scrambled eggs with loofah and seaweed soup with sea rice.

"If Mom's cooking doesn't taste good, just tell me, I'll cook according to your taste." Zhou Shu filled Lin Qiao with a bowl full of rice.

Lin Qiao took a sip, the rice absorbed the flavors of various ingredients, it was very delicious, and said, "Mom, it's delicious, I love it."

After dinner, Gu Lin helped clean up the table and went to the kitchen with the dishes to wash the dishes. Zhou Shu was very satisfied with his son's performance and said, "Gu Lin never washes the dishes at home. It's because the sun came out from the west. I'm also worried that Gu Lin will push all the housework to his wife and not do anything."

Doudou said: "My dad will help with washing dishes and clothes, and he often cooks after my mother is pregnant."

Zhou Shu praised her son: "The performance is really good. , is much better than your grandfather, and all gay men should learn from your father."

Seeing Lin Qiao wipe the table with a rag, Zhou Shu took the rag and said, "You don't need to do any work, just rest."

Lin Qiao said, "Mom, you must be tired after traveling on the road these days, go to bed early at night."

Zhou Shu said, "I'm not tired, but you have to go to bed early."

Around eight o'clock, the house became quiet , Lin Qiao also lay down on the bed early, and seeing her lying on her side, Gu Lin stuffed a cotton pillow under her stomach to support the weight of her stomach, so that she could be more comfortable.

Gu Lin said: "You can rest assured now, my mother likes you very much."

"Your mother is so kind, so lucky to have such a mother-in-law." Lin Qiao said.

The mother-in-law doesn't have many things, she doesn't make demands on her daughter-in-law, she doesn't set rules, she doesn't put on airs like some mother-in-laws, she is obviously conservative in thinking and behavior, but she is picky about her daughter-in-law.

Gu Lin took the book and sat on the bedside, wiped Lin Qiao's cheek with her hand, and said, "My mother is very lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you.

Chapter 40

The next day, knowing that someone was cooking and doing housework, Lin Qiao overslept as soon as she relaxed. When she woke up and looked at the light in the house, she realized that it was later than usual. Just shouted: "Gu Lin."

Gu Lin just picked up a full tank of water, responded, put down the bucket and walked into the house.

"Wake up, I saw you sleeping very soundly when I got up in the morning." Gu Lin walked over and kissed Lin Qiao on the forehead.

Lin Qiao was getting dressed, and said: "Mom just came to our house, I got up late."

Gu Lin said: "You should sleep more, now you don't have to do anything, why do you get up so early?" "

Yes It won't make me look lazy!" Lin Qiao said.

Zhou Shugang gave Kong Kong a cornbread, and heard the conversation between the two, saying, "Lin Qiao, you should sleep more and take care of your body. You should not be lazy at all. If someone is working, you should take a good rest. Don't feel bad about it. I woke up just in time, I fed the chickens and ducks, and the meal is almost ready, you can eat after you wash up."

Lin Qiao and Gu Lin looked at each other and smiled: "Mom, I'll wash up right now."

Breakfast is fresh shrimp and vegetable porridge, Corn tortillas, fried shredded radish, and fried eggs, and Kong Kong also has a tortilla, two shrimps, and bananas.

"After dinner, Mom will send you to work. I will pick you up when you come back at noon and evening," Zhou Shu said.

"Mom, I used to pick up Lin Qiao." Gu Lin said.

"You still know how to pick up your daughter-in-law. It seems that I really didn't know you before. How about you go for these few steps? I'll go. I want to pick up my daughter-in-law." Zhou Shu said.

"I'll go, I want to pick up my wife." Gu Lin said.

Lin Qiao listened to the two of them arguing, laughing while eating.

In the end, Zhou Shu won. She accompanied Lin Qiao to the medical point. She reminded Lin Qiao not to get tired all the way. When she arrived at the medical point, she brought back Doudou. From now on, Doudou would not stay with Lin Qiao at the medical point. Stay home with her.

Both lunch and dinner were delicious home-cooked dishes. For dinner, Lin Qiao and DouDou each had a glass of malted milk.

Every time Lin Qiao expressed her intention to do some work, Zhou Shu firmly refused to let her do it, but allowed her to take a walk in the yard to digest food and exercise.

Before going to bed at night, one of the couple was lying down and the other was sitting on the bedside reading a book. Lin Qiao said, "Why is your mother so kind to me! My own mother may not be as good as her, so I don't feel very at ease."

Gu Rin took it for granted, "It's not right to be nice to you! You are her daughter-in-law and she will naturally be nice to you, and she is also very nice to my sister-in-law. Besides, she thinks you are nice, and she likes you very much." Lin Qiao

said : "I know I can't treat my mother-in-law as my own mother, it's better to keep a distance, but your mother is so kind, I want to try her as my own mother." Gu Lin doesn't need to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law now: "Of

course Alright, my mother always regarded you as her own daughter." In

the days that followed, Lin Qiao started a relaxed and comfortable life with someone taking care of her.

——Finally

came the day of delivery, and gave birth at home, and Xu Haiou delivered Lin Qiao.

Zhou Shu boiled three kettles of hot water in a row, and prepared the small clothes and diapers, busy before and after.

He Yunxiu was busy stewing chicken soup in the kitchen. One chicken was stewed for two days, and the chicken soup was used for drinking. Considering that Lin Qiao might not have a good appetite, the chicken was ready to be made into light chicken porridge.

In the yard, Gu Lin and DouDou sat under the lychee tree and waited quietly, even Kong Kong sat beside him and waited with the master.

Gu Lin saw that his son's face was tense, fidgeting, he stood up for a while, sat down for a while, his eyes kept looking towards the door, and he said: "You are going to be an older brother, you should be happy, why are you nervous? I'm so nervous."

DouDou didn't know what he was nervous about.

Subconsciously, he remembered that his mother had suffered a major blow before giving birth to him. She had dystocia when she gave birth to him, and her health was not good afterwards. Before he wore it, her mother had passed away.

Now that my mother is young and strong, there should be no need to worry, but he just doesn't worry.

If you ask him why he is worried, he can't think of it at all, and he can't say it.

Gu Lin picked up her son and put her on her lap, and said, "Eldest son, calm down."

"Mom will be fine." Doudou said.

Gu Lin said in a firm tone: "Sure."

The two people in the yard were anxious, more nervous than the people in the room, and encouraged each other.

Finally hearing the cries of a child coming from the room, Gu Lin stood up excitedly, put Doudou on the saddle beside him, and wanted to walk into the house with his legs, but Doudou called him: "Dad, don't go in yet, There is one more."

Gu Lin couldn't wait to enter the room to see Lin Qiao, but sat down again.

The two sat quietly, and finally heard another loud cry from inside the room, and then Zhou Shu shouted excitedly to the outside of the courtyard: "Gu Lin, Lin Qiao gave birth to a boy, a girl, exactly the same one, mother three Everything is fine."

"Dad, everything is fine, mom is fine, and since she is so young, I knew she was fine." Doudou said pleasantly, his small body was very flexible, he jumped off Gu Lin's lap and walked The calf ran to the house quickly.

"Great!"

Gu Lin tightly clenched her hands hanging by the side of her trousers. When she heard this, she immediately stood up and ran into the house. The speed was faster than that of a bag. As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the bed. Seeing that Lin Qiao's face was a little pale , bent down and put his arms around her shoulders, put his cheek against her forehead, and said, "I've made you suffer."

Lin Qiao said, "Women give birth like this."

Xu Haiou said with a smile, "I delivered babies." A child can be eighty if not a hundred, and fathers always look after their children first, and Gu Tuan looks after their wives first."

The second baby was already dressed and lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and Zhou Shu was wiping the third baby's birthmark. Fat put on clothes and put on a diaper, and said while putting on, "Didn't the two babies have a grandma?"

"And big brother." DouDou followed Gu Lin into the house. He originally wanted to see his mother first, but his father took up the place next to his mother's bed, so he had no choice but to sit by the bed and watch the child first.

"Come on, Doudou, look at your younger siblings. The one lying down is the younger brother, and the one in grandma's hand is the younger sister." Zhou Shu greeted the eldest grandson.

"Great, I have younger brothers and sisters." Doudou cheered, looking at this little dumpling and then at that one, a sense of pride and responsibility for being the boss emerged spontaneously.

Gu Lin stood up straight without looking away from Lin Qiao. Seeing that there were beads of sweat on her forehead, which had already wetted her hair, she quickly took out a handkerchief from her trouser pocket to wipe her sweat, and then wiped the hair on her forehead. Pulling back, the hair sticking to her cheeks was pushed back behind her ears. Seeing that Lin Qiao's lips were a bit dry, she asked again, "Can she drink water?"

Dr. Xu said, "Yes, drink less."

Gu Lin was half right. Put the warm water in the teapot to Lin Qiao's mouth, and said in a warm voice, "Drink some water."

I really feel sorry for my daughter-in-law.

Lin Qiao took a sip, saw the tightness of his face, smiled and said, "I'm fine, look at my treasure."

Gu Lin put the tea mug on the table, and then followed his gaze. Look at the two babies.

Zhou Shu also put the third baby on the bed, and the two babies were lying side by side. They were two small balls of milk, pink skin, small facial features, thin arms and legs, much smaller than he imagined.

Gu Lin's heart was as soft as cotton.

In the future, there will be two more children who eat in the family, and I feel more responsible for the family.

The second baby slept with her eyes closed, but the third baby had big eyes like black grapes.

Gu Lin said pleasantly, "My daughter is looking at me. You see, her big eyes really look like yours. Lin Qiao, we have two sons and a daughter." Lin Qiao wanted to say that her eyes were not focused yet

. I don't know about you, but seeing Gu Lin's happy expression, he just smiled and didn't speak.

"Lin Qiao is tired, you go to bed first, the two children are hungry and need to nurse later." Zhou Shu said.

Gu Lin pulled up a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out her hand to hold Lin Qiao's hand and said, "You sleep, I'll just stay here and watch our two babies." Holding

her hand with a dry and slightly rough hand, Lin Qiao felt Feeling very relieved, she said, "I'll go to bed first."

In the evening, Lin Qiao ate chicken and vegetable porridge, and drank chicken soup. Most of his physical and mental strength had recovered. The two children also ate milk and fell asleep peacefully.

Meng Pandi and Luo Yuying both wanted to come to help, but Zhou Shu said that there were enough people, so they all went to work. When they came back from the farm, He Yunxiu told them both that they should let Lin Qiao take a good rest. Come and see.

Lin Huaixuan brought Xiaoshu over after work, and Xiaoshu and Doudou lay quietly by the bed to watch the children, and said pleasantly, "We have two more siblings, when will we grow up and play with us?"

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "When I'm one and a half years old, I'll be able to run after your ass."

Seeing that the baby was sleeping peacefully and had nothing else to do, He Yunxiu said, "Then I'll go back first. You bring the baby, so you and your aunt don’t have to be in a hurry, I’ll come over early tomorrow morning, and you have to rest while the baby is sleeping.” At night,

Zhou Shu took the second baby to her room to sleep, and they felt that the third baby loved her more. Crying a little, Lin Qiao took the third baby by herself, and brought the second baby over after feeding at night.

Gu Lin carefully placed Sanwa's little hand in his own, and said, "Her hands are so small, her skin is as tender as transparent, her eyebrows are as pale as they are, and her bulging cheeks are as cute as Doudou."

He was praising his daughter, when suddenly the little guy started crying again, Gu Lin said: "She just suckled, she shouldn't be hungry, why did she cry again, I didn't wake her up.

" If you want to find your mother, you bring her to me."

Gu Lin rubbed her palms and said awkwardly: "She is too small and too soft, I dare not hug her."

Lin Qiao said: "I am teasing you, I see you I dare not hug."

She moved over by herself and let the third baby stick to her. The little guy's crying sounded like a switch, and he stopped crying immediately.

Gu Lin exclaimed amazingly, the soft, pink little guy looked very cute when he was sticking to his mother's side, he said: "The two treasures will not be so clingy to mom, so I can't be clingy to my daughter-in-law?" Lin

Qiao Suppressing a smile: "Don't tease me."

Gu Lin was afraid that he would accidentally crush the baby, so he lay down on the edge of the bed, and Lin Qiao said, "Why don't you sleep in the same room with Dou Dou, and you can't help at night?" What's the matter?"

"I can learn to coax the baby, but I can't let you coax the baby and I'll fall asleep." Gu Lin insisted.

Lin Qiao said, "Okay, I'll be more at ease when you're by my side."

Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Gu Lin was in a particularly good mood, and moved over and kissed Lin Qiao's forehead, telling her to rest quickly.

When she opened her eyes the next morning, Lin Qiao saw Dou Dou's pretty face. The little guy was sitting obediently by the bed, looking at her mother without blinking.

"Mom, you're awake. I'm changing my sister's diaper." DouDou said proudly with a beautiful arc on her lips.

Lin Qiao leaned over to look at Sanwa's neatly changed diapers, and said, "Doudou is such a good brother, no wonder I stopped crying after hearing Sanwa cry. It turned out that you changed the diapers, and all younger brothers and sisters will like you."

DouDou climbed onto the bed, held Lin Qiao's face in her small hands, kissed on the left side and right side, and said, "Mom, I will help you take care of the baby so that you can sleep for a while." " DouDou will lie down with

Mom for a while longer ." .” Lin Qiao said.

"Okay, Mom." DouDou was very happy, and quickly stuck to her, lying on her side with both hands hugging her mother's arms.

Lin Qiao lay down with her arms around Doudou, kissed his little face and said, "I really like the eldest son."

When Gu Lin came back after picking up water, she heard the mother and child talking in the room. She first went to see the second baby, and saw that he was sleeping soundly, and then went to see the third baby. Seeing that she was also asleep, she didn't want to wake her up, so she complained in a low voice: "My child Is it so hard to take it with you? You eat and pee. Last night, the two of you ate milk six times, six times, and you have to change your diaper. You can't sleep well at all." Lin Qiao thought it was normal: "

Wait It would be much better if the child is older and does not take night milk."

"When will I get it?" Gu Lin asked.

"Train it, six months should be enough." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin thinks it is too difficult, the difficulty of raising a child is beyond his imagination, and he loves his wife very much, but he can't breastfeed the child by himself, and he can't change diapers as quickly as his wife, and he doesn't even dare to hold the child, there is too little he can do up.

Zhou Shu came into the room, seeing her son's distressed and embarrassed expression, she quickly comforted him and said, "You guys are not used to raising a baby just now, but children will grow up if you raise them casually. During confinement, Lin Qiao took care of the baby, eating and sleeping. That's fine, the child sleeps and you sleep, hurry up and sleep, and you won't be tired." Lin Qiao drank fish soup all day, fried egg and sea bass soup during the day, and yellow croaker papaya soup for dinner. While eating dinner, Gu Lin said: "I I called my dad today to announce the good news. My dad asked the child’s name. Grandpa had already given the child’s name. At that time, he said that if I have a child, the boy’s name is Gu Jinzhou, and the girl’s name is Gu Jinyun. Then our three children will be named Gu Jinyun Lin Qiao, I want your father to name the second baby. Your father has read a lot of books, so the name must be educated, and my father also said to let your father name it." Lin Qiao felt that Gu Lin respected the father-in-law very much . "Okay, my dad must be very happy." Lin Qiao said. Gu Lin said: "Okay, then I will contact our dad to announce the good news to him and let him name it." The nickname was given to DouDou, who has always neglected DouDou these days, and of course he has to make up for it when he has the opportunity. After getting the right to name his younger siblings, Doudou immediately felt that he was valued very much, and his back straightened. After thinking about it seriously, he said, "Let's call it Nannan and Beibei. We are in the south now, but we will always go back to the north." "Okay, the name sounds nice and makes people feel hopeful." Lin Qiao encouraged the eldest son with a smile.

Zhou Shu put down her chopsticks and clapped her hands in applause: "It sounds good, it's called Shunliu."

Gu Lin reached out and patted Doudou's shoulder, saying, "Your second brother and third sister have nicknames, they will definitely like it." At

seven o'clock, the two babies All fell asleep, and the whole house fell silent.

Gu Lin went to see Doudou first, and saw him sitting quietly under the lamp reading a book, he couldn't sit still, and he was not disturbed by running around.

Back in the room, Gu Lin also took a book and sat down beside the bed. Lin Qiao saw that he was full of confusion and hesitation. He seemed to be turning the pages of the book, but actually he didn't read a single word.

He has always been resolute and resolute, and Lin Qiao has never seen such an expression on his face.

"Can you read clearly? Don't read, it's bad for eyesight." Lin Qiao said with a smile.

I used to use 45-degree light bulbs at home. After having children, I didn’t want to irritate their eyes. Both rooms were replaced with 15-degree light bulbs, and the lights were very dim.

Gu Lin closed the book, turned around and reached out to gently stroke Lin Qiao's cheek.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Qiao asked.

"I don't want to go out on a mission, I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to guard you guys now, the children and wives are hot on the bed, and have no fighting spirit. I never thought I would be like this." Gu Lin let out a long sigh of relief. Feeling very troubled.

Because of the need to build a combat readiness base, Gu Lin has never been idle. During Lin Qiao's pregnancy, he often went out. At that time, the elder brother's family would come to accompany Lin Qiao at night.

He is the highest-ranking officer on the island, and the heavy responsibilities he bears do not allow him to relax at all.

His stable job is the stable foundation of the family, including the Lin family.

Gu Lin first took a look at the three children of the fan group, and said: "I know that I must never let down the great trust and trust of my superiors. I understand the truth better than anyone else, but I just don't want to leave my wife and children. I don't feel safe when I leave you. I don’t feel at ease, I feel like there is an empty space in my heart, and I feel satisfied when I see you every day.”

Lin Qiao said: "The two babies are too young, so you don't have to worry about us. In fact, you don't have to worry at all. I am healthy and energetic. My mother is here. Besides, my elder brother and sister-in-law will also take care of us. Now you think it is difficult to take care of the baby, but Just like Mom said, a baby will grow up if you just drag it, and it may be a blink of an eye when you recall it again." Gu Lin put the book on the table, climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Lin Qiao, stretched out Holding his daughter-in-law in his arms, he sighed: "It is said that you stand at thirty, but now I am like the third child, clinging to you, I feel like I don't know myself anymore." He became very emotional: "You and the third child It seems to be everything to me, with you, I have the whole world." Before, he would never say such a thing, he thought it was exaggerated and nasty, but now he said it sincerely. Lin Qiao felt that he should be encouraged, but she just wanted to curl up in Gu Lin's arms and enjoy this moment of peace. She was emotional with him: "With you treating our four mothers wholeheartedly, I also feel that I have the whole world. As long as you are here, I will be happy." You can overcome all difficulties, you don't have to be afraid of anything, you don't have to worry about anything, this feeling is very solid." The corners of Gu Lin's lips raised a beautiful arc, and her slender fingers stroked Lin Qiao's cheeks: "Daughter-in-law's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. I like to hear your sweet talk, and after listening to you say this, I feel that doing anything for you guys is worthwhile." " Then I'll talk more in the future." Lin Qiao's voice was full of smiles. "I love to hear it." Gu Lin said intimately with her forehead against her chin. The couple embraced to draw strength from each other. By the next morning, Gu Lin had already prepared his mind and set off to the island of war preparation in good spirits. He also went to Lin Peiyuan to tell the good news. Although he is very busy with work, these days Gu Lin tried his best to get food for Lin Qiao to ensure nutrition. He either left the island by himself or asked the soldiers who left the island to buy it for him. Pig trotters, pork liver, pork loin, ribs, Lin Qiao's body is very He recovered quickly, and his milk supply is much better than expected. Although the two babies are not enough to eat, only a little milk powder is enough. Early in the morning, Xiao Shu came with He Yunxiu, first to see the two babies, they woke up at five o'clock in the morning, played for a while after eating their fill, and are now sleeping.

Doudou and Xiaoshu huddled together by the bed to see their younger siblings. After seeing their babies for a while, they went to the yard to pick ripe papayas and dragon fruits. He treats you better than before?"

Doudou was surprised: "Why? I am my mother's eldest son, so of course my mother will always treat me well." "But your mother will spend

a lot of time taking care of the babies and will love them very much. "Xiaoshu said.

DouDou didn’t feel troubled at all, and said, “Siblings and sisters will love me too, and I’ll get a lot of love.”

Xiaoshu’s eyes lit up. When he was in Qingcheng, everyone said he was smart, but it was he who had seen DouDou before. The smartest, smartest, most confident and open-minded child, this child is different from other children.

When encountering such a big matter, Doudou should be more troubled than him, but he is calm and calm, and doesn't care.

He likes and admires DouDou most.

Xiaoshu said: "But I am worried that my aunt has three children, and she will not treat me as well as before."

Doudou jumped off the stool, put the papaya into the basket, and said, "No."

Turning around, he saw Xiaoshu The tree was running towards the door of the house.

He ran fast, but he slowed down when he entered the door, and tiptoed into the bedroom.

"Little tree." Lin Qiao called out.

Seeing that her aunt still had her eyes closed, Xiao Shu said happily, "Auntie, can you hear my footsteps?" Lin Qiao

opened her eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, your footsteps are different from those of Dou Dou's."

Shu ran to the bed, lay down beside her aunt, took out a necklace made of shells from her trouser pocket, and gave it to Lin Qiao: "Auntie, these shells are very beautiful. Dad helped me punch holes last night, and I wore them as necklaces." I’ll give it to you, it’ll look really good when you wear it.”

Lin Qiao put the necklace over and said, looking at the colorful shells, she said, “These are the most precious shells that Xiaoshu has saved for a long time, how dare you give them away.”

The corners of Xiaoshu's lips curled up: "Give the best to aunt."

"The necklace is so beautiful, I like it, so I'll accept it." Lin Qiao said with a smile while holding the necklace in her hand.

Xiaoshu smiled contentedly, and snuggled up to her aunt sweetly, expressing her doubts in her heart: "Auntie, now that you have three children, will you still treat Xiaoshu well?"

Lin Qiao patted his head and said: " Of course it will be good to Xiaoshu, my aunt has three sons and daughters, but Xiaoshu only has one nephew!"

Xiaoshu touched Lin Qiao's words, and he felt that what his aunt said was absolutely right, yes, his aunt only had him as a nephew.

He felt that the explanation given by his aunt was beyond his imagination, completely exceeded his expectations, and made him very happy.

It also made him very confident and felt that he was loved. He had parents who loved him and an aunt who loved him.

"Auntie, I will also be good to you, to DouDou and my little brothers and sisters." Xiaoshu obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said vowedly.

"My aunt loves little trees." Lin Qiao said.

"Little tree also loves aunt." Xiaoshu said happily.

Lin Peiyuan quickly named his second baby Gu Jinqing, and hoped that he would become a gentle and pure person in the future, and everything would go smoothly.

"When I'm free, I'll bring dad back to see the baby." Gu Lin said.
