Chapter 41

Zhou Shu's way of raising her baby is very traditional. Regardless of the hot weather, she still doesn't let her baby out of the house, and she doesn't let Lin Qiao out of the house, let alone work. She doesn't let her do any work, not even diapers. Washing, Lin Qiao was not allowed to sit for a long time for fear that her back would hurt in the future, and she was asked to lie down even for breastfeeding, and Lin Qiao was not allowed to take a bath, but she would help Lin Qiao wipe her body with warm water.

These days Zhou Shu is too busy to touch the ground.

"The confinement child must sit well, otherwise you will not fall ill all over the body, and you will find all kinds of problems such as back pain and joint pain. If the confinement child sits well and the previous minor problems can be cured, you just listen to the mother. The capital of the revolution, our health is more important than anything else," Zhou Shu said.

Lin Qiao nodded obediently: "Mom, I'll listen to you."

Half a month later, Lin Qiao couldn't bear it anymore and said that pregnant women can take a bath, so Zhou Shu boiled water for her to take a bath.

"Wash quickly, don't wash for too long." Zhou Shu said.

"Okay, Mom." Lin Qiao said.

Finally after one month, Lin Qiao and Bao Bao could finally leave the house. In the morning and evening they would take the two Bao out to bask in the sun.

In this era, women who give birth usually return to work after a one-month break. Lin Qiao took an extra week off before going to work at the medical clinic.

At noon this Sunday, Lin Qiao was sleeping with her two babies. Zhou Shu was washing clothes and diapers in the shade of the trees in the yard. When she heard two light footsteps coming from the main room, Lin Qiao woke up and couldn't help but smile.

DouDou used to be very lively, knowing that his younger siblings were sleeping and worried about waking them up, he deliberately slowed down his pace, even Kong Kong was very sensible, walking on tiptoe like him.

Lin Qiao grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds and went out, and also walked under the shade of the tree. Zhou Shu immediately took a bench for her to sit on, mixed warm water, and wrung out a towel to wipe her face and hands.

After wiping her, Zhou Shu called to Doudou, who was catching bugs in the vegetable field, and said, "Doudou, come quickly, grandma will wipe it for you too.

" Qing Chong threw it in and ran to Zhou Shu to wait for grandma to wipe her face.

Kongkong also followed the little master, and went to catch bugs in the vegetable field.

After she finished wiping, Lin Qiao said, "DouDou, come to Mom and eat melon seeds."

DouDou walked over and sat on Lin Qiao's lap, mother and son peeled melon seeds and ate them intimately.

With two babies, she also doesn't want DouDou to feel neglected.

Lin Qiao lowered her head, pressed her forehead against DouDou's, and said affectionately, "DouDou has been so obedient recently, the younger siblings are too young, the family must take care of them more, but DouDou is still mother's first cub, you still don't care about it. You can be naughty, you can act like a baby with your mother, and you can make various requests to your mother."

Zhou Shu smiled and said: "It's better for children to be good, how can you tell children that they can be naughty? Gu Lin was naughty when he was young. His father beat him."

Lin Qiao replied, "Doudou is too sensible!"

Doudou said, "I am mother's first cub, and mother is the nickname you gave me!"

Lin Qiao said, "I seem to have dreamed that I gave you a nickname."

Zhou Shu looked at the close mother and son, and said, "You two are playing charades, I don't understand."

All she was thinking: Gu Lin said When he found this child, he called him Dou Dou, but Dou Dou said that Lin Qiao gave him the nickname.

? ?

Doudou stretched out his arms, and hugged Lin Qiao softly with his small hands: "Mom, I love you."

Lin Qiao kissed his soft face, "Mom loves you too."

——The

two babies change every day, One day at a time.

The faces of the two of them grew longer and wider, and they looked much better than when they were born. The faces, arms, and legs also began to grow flesh, making them soft and pink.

I usually go to bed after 7 o'clock in the evening, but tonight my daughter is full of milk and won't sleep.

Gu Lin said: "The second son is asleep, why is the daughter still not asleep? She is already sleepy, and her eyes are sticky." It's gone." Zhou Shu said.

Gu Lin wants her daughter to go to bed earlier, so that mother and daughter-in-law can rest earlier.

He bent down to pick up the girl, and now he is very skillful in holding the child, with his arms behind the girl's back, his big hand clasping the back of her head, and the other arm across the waist and hips, firmly holding the child upright.

The little girl clung to his arms, looking soft and small.

The girl propped up her small head, all drowsiness disappeared, and she looked at the old father with wide, bright black eyes like black grapes.

Gu Lin looked down at the girl's soft face, shook her body gently, pressed her little head, and let her little face stick to his shoulder: "Sleep."

Lin Qiao thought it was funny: "You It's supposed to be a switch."

The girl became more energetic, she didn't agree, curled her lips, raised her head again, her big eyes were dark and bright, still looking at the old father.

Gu Lin pressed the switch forcefully again: "Are you going to sleep or not?"

Lin Qiao looked at the father and daughter and smiled.

"Father, there is no switch on the head of DouDou." DouDou couldn't stand it.

As soon as the small face was attached to Gu Lin's shoulder, it immediately raised up. The girl wrinkled her small face, flattened her mouth, and cried out loudly.

Gu Lin: He can't handle this small and soft guy.

Beibei cried so aggrieved and loudly.

"You don't sleep, why are you crying, don't wake up your second brother." Gu Lin was helpless.

Zhou Shu blamed: "How can you coax the child to sleep like this."

DouDou was eager to try: "Let me coax my sister."

Lin Qiao said: "Let DouDou try."

Doudou sat on the bed, just as Gu Rin handed Beibei into his arms, Beibei's crying stopped immediately as if there was a switch, and she giggled towards her elder brother.

"She smiled at me, she must like big brother." Doudou said pleasantly.

Doudou hugged the soft little guy in a dignified manner, with his arms supporting the little girl's head and neck, and gently patted with one hand: "Little girl, sleep well to grow up." Two or three minutes later, the

girl She fell asleep peacefully, her eyes were covered with long eyelashes, and her little face was bulging.

"She's asleep, she's so cute." DouDou was very happy.

Zhou Shu said: "Doudou really looks like a big brother, much better than your father, wait for two more minutes, and I will take her away when she falls asleep."

Gu Lin looked at Lin Qiao, he felt that he was a failed old father , The daughter-in-law is still laughing at him.

"Eldest son, you are amazing, I will entrust you with the task of putting him to sleep in the future," he said.

Doudou was very proud: "Okay, I will let the elder brother come to sleep in the future."

——In

the yard, Zhou Shu was washing diapers. He picked up a diaper from the basin in front of Zhou Shu, sat down and began scrubbing.

Doudou exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, Kongkong can also wash diapers. If my siblings grow up and know that it has washed diapers, they will definitely like it." "

Kongkong can wash diapers better than your father." Zhou Shu praised.

She asked Doudou again: "Now that you have younger brothers and sisters, your parents will definitely take care of the younger ones. Why don't you go home with grandma when grandma leaves. Grandma will take care of you alone, and grandpa will also like you very much." It

's not just that it's not easy for Lin Qiao to take care of three children, she really likes DouDou, and DouDou is also smart, she wants to take them back and raise them well.

Doudou shook his head like a rattle: "I like grandma too, but my parents are still very good to me. I just stay with my parents. I am a child born to my parents, not picked up."

Zhou Shu relayed Doudou's words to Lin Qiao, and Lin Qiao squeezed Doudou's little face and said, "He said that from the very beginning."

Zhou Shu said, "It's strange to say that Doudou looks very similar to you and Gu Lin. "

Grandfather has always said in private that Doudou was born secretly by the two of Gu Lin, she never believed it before, but now she is very suspicious.

Unable to persuade GouDou, Zhou Shu told Lin Qiao and Gu Lin, "What should I do when I leave? I have saved a total of five months of vacation, and it takes more than half a month to go back and forth on the road. Who will take care of the baby when I leave? Qiao has to go to work again, so I definitely can’t get three babies.”

Gu Lin had thought about it a long time ago, and said, “Send Doudou to elementary school, and send it when school starts in autumn, one year earlier than other children, do you think it’s okay for Doudou?

” Of course he would, he was eager to go to school earlier, and asked: "Then, am I going to the first grade with Xiaoshu?"

Gu Lin said yes, and cheered in circles: "Okay, I want to go to school, I can go to school with Jindou , Gang Bian, Xiao Wan'er and Xiao Shu go to school together."

Gu Lin said, "Yes, the school is close, and you go to and from school together." "

Then what about the two young ones? It’s hard to take care of the two little ones, so we can’t take both of them to the medical center during the day. How about I take one away? We have a kindergarten there, and we can put it in the kindergarten during the day. I’ll take it with your dad at night. Which one do you want me to take away? ?” Zhou Shu said.

She really wanted to take away a child and share the burden for the third daughter-in-law.

Both Gu Lin and Lin Qiao were unwilling to be taken away by such a small, soft little guy. Lin Qiao was still thinking about asking Mama Wu to come over to help bring up the baby. powerful.

Gu Lin said: "A kindergarten is going to be built on the island. There is no need to build a new house. The empty courtyard in the west of the family courtyard is used. Children of troops, children of shipyards, and children of islanders can come and choose reliable family members. Or the islanders can take care of the children, so that everyone can rest assured."

Lin Qiao's eyes lit up: "That's good, I can send the two children there during the day, and it will be very easy for me not to take them to work."

Gu Lin said: "I reckon that the islanders may not want their children to go to kindergarten. Now there are twenty or thirty children on the island who are suitable for kindergarten, and they are all raised in different families. It is easy for each family to have kindergartens to look after their children. "

Zhou Shu said: "I count every day here, so you have already thought about it." "

I also asked the shipyard's opinion before deciding to build this kindergarten. There will also be more family members of shipyard workers who come here," Gu Lin said.

"That's right, the child should be by his parents' side. Lin Qiao, you can save trouble by bringing the child to three years old. It's just that I may not be able to see the three children when I go back. I will definitely miss them, and your father is even more so." I haven't seen them before." Zhou Shu was somewhat regretful.

Lin Qiao said, "Mom, you and Dad save some vacation time and come to see us during the vacation."

Zhou Shu said, "If it's inconvenient for Gu Lin to leave the island, that's the only way to go .

"

Kindergarten, Zhou Shu has been preparing the quilts they will use in the kindergarten these days.

At noon, they have to eat and take a nap in the kindergarten. Each of them has a small bamboo bed covered with quilts brought by each family, and there are also two bamboo cradles for coaxing the children.

The teachers who take care of the children are the military wives of the camp and the family members of the shipyard. They are all selected to be patient with the children. Meng Pandi is one of them. There is no need to worry about the teacher being bad for the children.

There is an extra meal in the afternoon, which is similar to the one at home, including various porridge, egg custard, wontons, steamed buns, stir-fried vegetables with rice, and the like.

Lin Qiao brought them egg custard and poorly boiled porridge, and the teacher would make milk for them when they were hungry.

All the children are divided into three classes according to their ages. Nannan and Beibei are in the small class, and Xiaoshao is also in this class. Meng Pandi and another sister-in-law are taking care of them.

This morning, all the family members and Kong Kong went to send the two babies to kindergarten.

The bamboo stroller is a good tool for walking the baby. When the family pushes the two babies to the entrance of the kindergarten, the two babies have fallen asleep after bumping all the way.

Meng Pandi picked up the children at the door, and said, "Just fell asleep, so don't watch you go and cry."

Carrying the two babies to the crib, Zhou Shu said, "Then let's go."

Lin Qiao felt that she would leave like that. A little unkind, she asked: "Will those two babies cry when they wake up?"

Zhou Shu said: "If they wake up, they will cry now."

"Let's go." Lin Qiao said.

Lin Qiao thought about the two babies all day long. She kept thinking about whether the two children were crying, whether they were looking for their mother, and whether they were hungry.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Qiao couldn't bear it anymore, and told Dr. Xu that she was going to the kindergarten to see her baby.

Xu Haiyan is very considerate and said: "Sometimes it's not the baby who can't leave the mother, but the mother can't leave the baby. Now that the children are young, you can't bear them. When they grow up to be seven or eight years old, you should bother them." They're gone, let's go."

Lin Qiao walked quickly towards the family courtyard, and when she was approaching the destination, she saw two figures, one tall and one short, from a long distance away, Zhou Shu was holding the small hand of the bag, and the two were walking Strolling back and forth near the kindergarten, nearby, followed by bouncing empty.

"Mom, why are you here?" Lin Qiao asked.

"Didn't I miss the two babies? I just wanted to have a look. I should feel relieved not to have to bring the baby by myself, but I feel empty every day." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law unexpectedly agreed

.

Doudou said: "Grandma has been looking at the watch, saying how time passes so slowly, and it's not yet time for school."

Lin Qiao smiled and said: "Mom, we are the same, I also want to see the baby."

Zhou Shu said: " Do you want to go in and have a look?"

Lin Qiao thought for a while and said, "It's better not to go in."

One is that the children are looked after by family members of the camp and the shipyard, and they seem to be worried about their children when they go in. Besides, the two babies may cry and refuse to stay in the kindergarten when they see them.

Zhou Shu said: "Okay, then let's go back."

The three left the kindergarten gate. On the way, Zhou Shu said: "I am a relative from the next generation. I used to take Gu Lin and the others with poor conditions. As long as the child can live and be healthy , it’s not like it is now, it’s both worrying and worrying.” Zhou Shu said.

Lin Qiao comforted Zhou Shu, and also comforted herself: "It will be fine after a few days to get used to it."

At the fork in the road, Zhou Shu went home with a bag, and Lin Qiao returned to the medical office.

After finally getting off work, she rushed to the kindergarten to pick up the children but was in vain. Zhou Shu had already picked up the two babies. Lin Qiao returned home and saw the two babies sitting on the mat. Zhou Shu was feeding the two babies. , They both held the bottle and drank happily.

"Look, they're both hungry. I'll send you some more milk powder when I go back," Zhou Shu said.

Seeing that Sanwa didn't even care about eating, she threw down the bottle and stretched out her little hand anxiously to be hugged by her mother. Lin Qiao hurried over and sat down, hugged the soft little dumpling in her arms, and picked up the bottle for her to continue feeding. drink milk.

"You two didn't cry in the kindergarten, did you?" Lin Qiao asked after the two of them finished drinking, poking Sanwa's slick cheek.

After the second baby finished drinking the milk, she quickly crawled to her mother's side. Lin Qiao hugged the two soft little guys in her arms, and the void in her heart was immediately filled.

"I asked Pandi, and she said that they didn't cry. They are too young, and there are many children in the kindergarten, so it feels new. It may be more difficult to go to the kindergarten if they are two or three years old." Zhou Shu said.

It was finally the day when Zhou Shu left the island to go home. In the morning, she left the island with the landing craft to catch a train in Yangcheng, and Gu Lin went to see her off.

In addition to her own luggage, there are two other luggage bags that are special products of the island, most of which were prepared by He Yunxiu.

Zhou Shu was reluctant to leave at all, but her son and daughter-in-law could say that she was mainly reluctant to part with her three children.

She was still worried about DouDou, afraid that Gu Lin and Lin Qiao would not treat him as well as her own. Now that DouDou is sensible, he can definitely feel it.

"Doudou, if your parents treat you a little bit badly, you can write a letter to grandma, and grandma will take you away. It might be better than being with your parents as a child by your grandparents' side." Zhou Shu said.

Gu Lin said: "Mom, don't say that, we can't take care of the children anymore." "

Grandma, I was born to my mother, she will definitely treat me well." Doudou said.

Zhou Shu said: "It's not that I can't trust you two, it's just that there are too many children and it's impossible to keep a bowl of water level."

She squatted down, her eyes were at the same level as Doudou, and said, "Grandma used to like your uncle the most. He was my first uncle." A child, and later had your father, your father is the youngest, he is very naughty, your grandpa said that he did not apply for house tiles for three days, he was often beaten at home, our family used up more than a dozen feather dusters a year , but he is also the most favored. Doudou, it’s normal for parents to favor which child is better.”

Lin Qiao smiled and glanced at Gu Lin, who said, “Mom, stop, don’t expose me. My tall image in the eyes of my daughter-in-law and children has been destroyed by you."

Doudou nodded obediently: "I know, mom and dad never beat me."

Gu Lin put his hands on Doudou's shoulders and said, "Eldest son, I have never been beaten before." My childhood is incomplete."

Doudou: "..."

Zhou Shu continued: "But your father is better than your grandfather, and your grandfather beats the child. I originally thought that your father would beat and scold the child with such a bad temper. I have a good temper with you guys."

Doudou said, "Because my mom and dad's temper has changed, and he couldn't bear to lose his temper."

Zhou Shu had a little smile on her face, and said, "It should be, this is a thing Give me something."

She stood up, hugged the second baby and the third baby one by one, and said, "Then I'll go first." "

Mom, I don't want you to go." Lin Qiao said reluctantly.

After several months of getting along, their relationship is as good as that of a real mother and a real daughter.

"I also don't want grandma to leave." DouDou said.

Zhou Shu stroked the top of Doudou's hair: "Grandma is also reluctant to part with you, and wished to take you all away."

She really couldn't finish talking, she said to Lin Qiao: "Your father-in-law really wants to see you, and of course he also wants to see the three of you." Little one, wait for Gu Lin to go to our place on vacation, or we will come and see you."

Lin Qiao nodded, "I will also write to you more."

Zhou Shu told Gu Lin again: "Lin Qiao is too busy on her own, Help her bring up more babies in the future, your own daughter-in-law, who cares if you don’t love her, you have to know what’s hot and cold about your own daughter-in-law.”

Gu Lin said: “Mom, of course I know that.”

Lin Qiao said: “Mom, Gu Lin He has already done a lot of housework, and he still has to focus on work."

Gu Lin glanced at his watch, picked up a few pieces of luggage and said, "Let's go, Mom."

"Mom, I'll send you to the pier." Lin Qiao pushed the stroller and put Nannan and Beibei in it.

Gu Lin agreed and said, "Anyway, there's no one at the pier, let's go."

Lin Qiao pushed the cart, Gu Lin carried the luggage, and the family came to the pier, watching Gu Lin and Zhou Shu get on the landing craft, Lin Qiao still yelled at them. He waved his hands reluctantly.

"Go back quickly!"

The seabirds flew high and low, and Zhou Shu's voice was swallowed by the sound of the motor and the surging waves.

As soon as Zhou Shu left, two unexpected guests came to the island. Chapter 42

On Monday afternoon, Lin Qiao heard Chief Wu yelling, "Sister-in-law, Company Commander Cao's ankle is sprained."

Lin Qiao came out to welcome him.

Chief Wu and a soldier supported a female soldier, who was bouncing around.

Seeing Lin Qiao, the female soldier pointed to the huge pig hind leg in the little soldier's hand and said, "I killed a wild boar and distributed some to the family courtyard. The rest will be given to the cafeteria. I will save this pig leg for you." Yes."

Lin Qiao looked at her twice, and asked the little soldier to hang the pig's leg on the branch first.

She asked the female soldier: "Why did you sprain?

There were fine beads of sweat on the other side's forehead. It was obviously in pain, but he wanted to pretend that nothing was wrong.

" Wild boar, I fell off the slope for joy. The female soldier sat on the bed and said.

"You went to the mountain by yourself?" "Lin Qiao wanted to distract the other party's attention.

"I went by myself. I found the place where the wild boar was haunted based on the feces and footprints and lay in ambush on the tree. When the wild boar ran over, I shot an arrow there. , I shot another arrow, and the wild boar went to the sky. This big wild boar weighs a full 400 catties, and today the army cafeteria and the family courtyard have meat to eat. You should all thank me for giving you a toothbrush festival, as long as I am on the island, I guarantee you will have meat to eat every day..." The female soldier's tone was very proud, but before the cowhide was blown, she subconsciously yelled "Ah". Lin Qiao had already removed her shoes and socks, pinched and pinched her ankles, while she was talking, she held her ankle with her left hand, and the forefoot with her right hand, exerting force with both hands, the dislocated muscles and bones returned to their original positions . The exaggeration dilutes the effect of bragging just now, the female soldier said a little embarrassedly: "Hey, it feels normal and doesn't hurt much, Lin Qiao didn't expect that your medical skills are quite good. Seeing her calling her name directly, Lin Qiao tentatively asked, "Your surname is Cao? " The other party nodded: "I, Cao Jinguo, I will change my name and surname if I am going or not. " "

Lin Qiao raised the corners of her lips slightly, isn't this the legendary admirer of Gu Lin!

She took a bottle of safflower oil, applied it on her ankles and massaged it gently: "Remember, just massage like this, and apply it four to six times a day. Save some, bring the rest back to me when your feet are better "

"Okay, remember..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold and emotionless voice.

"Cao Jinguo, I called your father. Your father said that he will send someone to pick you up. You should leave the island as soon as possible."

Listening to the unkind voice of the visitor, Cao Jinguo said: "..."

Gu Lin came from the cruise ship When she got down, when she heard that Huang Jingying was coming, the first thing she did was to ask her father to take her away.

Originally thought that she would trouble her daughter-in-law, but when she saw that she was massaging her ankle, she said, "It's better to go to the front line when you're full, than to fight wild boars on the island." He spoke to Cao Jinguo in a stern voice, and turned to Lin

Qiao His voice softened when he was done, "Let's go when we're done, and I'll give you and Dou Dou stewed pork legs to eat when we get home."

Lin Qiao saw that he was dressed in a white military uniform. Maybe I'm too busy these days.

The corners of her lips were curved, and she raised a beautiful arc: "I haven't seen you for more than ten days. Are

you tired on the ship these days?" Three children." Gu Lin's voice was extremely gentle, he looked at his daughter-in-law, her complexion was crystal clear, and her complexion was good.

Lin Qiao originally thought he would say that he was not tired, but he did not expect him to say that, and smiled silently with the corners of his lips curled.

She had finished the massage, told Cao Jinguo that she could go, and then went to the washbasin to scoop up water and wash her hands.

Cao Jinguo was speechless, the couple acted as if there was no one around, their tone and demeanor were very intimate. She watched the couple flirt and looked at each other affectionately, and was greatly shocked.

This cold and indifferent person who has never looked at her will actually pick up his daughter-in-law from get off work, talk to her in a very gentle way, cook pork legs for her and her children, and now he is watching her wash her hands without blinking.

Lin Qiao obviously touched her ankle just now, and only held her forefoot when setting the bone. As for washing her hands repeatedly, she almost rubbed her bald skin.

Gu Lin patiently stood opposite Lin Qiao, took the towel in her hand, watched his wife rub her hands over and over again, and when Lin Qiao finished washing her hands, she immediately handed Mao Jin over.

Cao Jinguo couldn't help complaining in her heart, the towel was hung on the towel rack properly, did he pass it? He is so considerate to his wife!

She decided to be shameless today, and said bluntly: "Gu Tuan, I was curious about what your daughter-in-law looks like before I came here. I thought she was pretty nice when I saw her. I don't have any feelings for you now, and I like your daughter-in-law too. " Gu Lin spoke confidently: "My daughter- in-law

is the most popular person on the island, not one more than you." Said: "Lock the door, let's go, and go home." He turned to Huang Jingying: "When your foot injury is healed, leave the island immediately, and you can't stay longer for a day." Holding the wife's hand in the face of an outsider, the picture of the two walking in the sunset is warm and beautiful. Beside them, there was also a bouncing monkey. And Lin Qiao was beautiful, gentle and sweet, two completely different types from herself, Cao Jinguo felt completely relieved. "Company Commander Cao, I'll carry you behind my back. My sister-in-law said that your feet should rest for two days." Chief Wu said. Cao Jinguo turned her head away, and she found that the chief secretary who was holding her arm was not only tall, but also fair and handsome, she suddenly shook off the other's arm: "No, I'll go by myself." "Oh. " , she called out.

The chief of staff squatted halfway, and insisted: "Come up."

Cao Jinguo refused, but still was supported by Chief of Staff Wu, and hopped away from the medical point. On the way, she asked, "Is it annoying to be like me?"

The chief secretary asked, "What do you look like?"

Huang Jinwomen was too poor to describe it, so she said, "You look like a man. "

The chief of staff said: "No, Captain Huang, I think it's pretty good." In order to make his words convincing, he went on to say, "Didn't the chairman say that the Chinese people have a lot of ambition, don't like red makeup and armaments, and you are talking about it." Like this, besides, you see that you can kill wild boars yourself."

Huang Jingying suddenly felt very moved, as if no one had ever comforted her like this, and she never needed others' comfort before.

"Thank you, Chief Secretary, you are so kind." Huang Jingying said sincerely, she turned her head away, "Hey, why are you blushing?" "It's sunburned,"

said the Chief Secretary.

Huang Jinwoo glanced at the sky and exposed him mercilessly: "The sun has already set."

When Lin Qiao and his wife took the younger one home, Doudou had already opened the door and entered the courtyard by himself. Lin Qiao gave Nannan and Beibei a drink first. After breastfeeding, let DouDou and KongKong look after the baby, and she goes to the kitchen to help cook. Gu Lin had already cut up the wild boar leg, half of it was salted and eaten in a few days, and the other half was cut into small pieces, "Wild pork is hard and fishy, it tastes better with thick oily red sauce, can it be braised in red?" Lin Qiao laughed . : "Yes, as long as it's made by Chef Gu, Doudou and I both love to eat it, but the wild pork doesn't like to rot, and it takes longer to cook, so Doudou can chew it." Lin Qiao told him not to run far, go early When they came back, after going around for a while, Gu Lin chopped a pig's leg and asked, "Did Cao Jinguo's coming to the island cause you any trouble?" Lin Qiao pretended to put on a pretty face: "It's quite unexpected, troubled, and I'm particularly troubled." Alarm bells rang in Gu Lin's heart, he glanced at his wife and said, "Then I will ask her to leave the island tomorrow."

Seeing his serious expression, Lin Qiao laughed out loud, "Shouldn't you treat your comrades warmly like spring? Besides, your good friend came to see you from afar, won't you let her stay for a few more days?" Gu Lin

said Only then did I realize that my daughter-in-law was joking with him, so she relaxed her tense nerves, and said, "What is my date, you are my date." Although it was a joke, it sounded a bit sour, so

Gu Lin felt that it was very useful, and she wished Daughter-in-law is jealous.

Lin Qiao remembered the first time we met, and asked with a smile: "Did there really be many lesbians who wanted to date you?"

Gu Lin washed the pork and said, "You don't believe me? Didn't you find my charm? I am so attractive." Attractive men are naturally popular with lesbians."

He didn't think he was masculine, and he never thought about it, but since his wife asked, he must show his strength. Sure enough, Lin Qiao was amused

by him, and asked, "Then why did you choose me?" With two peach blossoms, he reprimanded: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense." The daughter-in-law's scolding is no different from being coquettish to Gu Lin. He turned his head to look at her cheeks that were flushed with pink, and said, "Why? , why are you shy, you are allowed to moan and whine under me, and I am not allowed to say anything." Lin Qiao's face suddenly turned red and hot, and she didn't want to communicate with him. He was embarrassed to say these words, but she snorted goodbye Turning his face away, he said: "I believe what they say now, you just like my appearance, you also like my body, Gu Lin, this is too superficial, we should pay attention to each other's hearts." Gu Lin has washed the pig's leg Alright, just throw the basin away, wash and dry your hands, stretch out your arms and turn Lin Qiao around, look at Lin Qiao's face flushed like the sunset glow in the sky, push the person to stand against the wall, tall The body is oppressed. He wrapped his arms around her, confining her between his body and the wall, his voice was low and sweet: "You too, you like my body very much, I can feel it."

Lin Qiao: "..."

He has always been so unruly when they got along in private, Lin Qiao felt that he didn't even leave her a fig leaf, and she could only be ashamed with him.

His scorching body temperature was transmitted through the thin fabric, and the hot breath sprinkled on the top of her hair touched the tiny nerves to transmit the tingling sensation.

"Then what if I'm not young and ugly?" Lin Qiao asked.

"Then I'm not the same. I was old at that time, and young couples come to grow old together. I really hope to be with you till old age." He finally got serious, and

Lin Qiao was a little moved. She believed what he said.

——On

Sunday morning, taking advantage of the cool weather, Gu Lin pushed the stroller around outside, and the five of them had just turned the corner when they saw Chen Qicheng at the door of his house. He was sitting on a stone by the door, next to him There was a big fat duck with its feet tied up, and three fluffy ducklings were having fun by its feet.

Gu Lin sneered: "It's just right, I will send you off with Cao Jinying."

Chen Qicheng said: "Cao Jinying has long wanted to come, but she didn't dare to come when Second Grandma was here. She didn't know that Second Grandma had left, so she came."

Chen Qicheng stood He got up, bent down, picked up Doudou, and said affectionately: "Uncle Chen brought you the Jiaji duck. The big duck is made of white duck, and the little duck is kept for play." He looked at the baby carriage again: "

OK Guys, a family of three becomes five in one go. It’s okay, I’ve completely given up after this trip.”

Gu Lin said: “Okay, then you can look at our happy life and give up more thoroughly.”

Lin Pushing the baby carriage, Gu Lin picked up the big duck on the ground, and drove a few ducklings into the yard.

Dou Dou's attention was attracted by a few ducklings, and he ran with Kong Kong to feed the ducks with cabbage leaves.

Chen Qicheng said: "You have a good life here, but I have suffered a lot. You know that Chief of Staff Cao knows that Cao Zhiwo often calls me, so he regards me as the number one candidate. I don't like it, calling each other is like pinching each other, but Chief of Staff Cao doesn't believe it."

Gu Lin sneered: "Since Chief of Staff Cao likes you so much, then you should be happy to be his precious son-in-law."

Chen Qicheng said, "I swear to God, we really don't like each other."

They asked Chen When they set off for dinner, Chen Qicheng asked Doudou: "Will your dad cook with your mom?" He saw the two of them carrying the ingredients into the kitchen together. Only then did

he have a chance to look around the yard, where there were all kinds of neatly grown vegetables and The lush fruit trees and chicken coops look very lively.

Doudou proudly showed off his father.

"I can't imagine, your father is so kind to your mother." Chen Qicheng sighed.

Gu Lin was imagined to be the shopkeeper after marriage, who would push all the housework to his wife. I didn't expect him to be willing to take on so many chores.

It is a better choice for Lin Qiao to marry Gu Lin than to marry him.

I don't know whether it's joy or sorrow.

During the meal, Gu Lin was not polite: "You go with Huang Jingying."

Chen Qicheng said: "Understood, it can make people eat well, the food is not delicious."

Two days later, Chief of Staff Cao sent The person who picked up Cao Jinguo also arrived, and Gu Lin sent the two of them away together.

——On

Sunday afternoon, Zhou Shu took her two little ones to take a nap, and Doudou, Xiaoshu, Xiaowan, Jinbao, and Gangtong were playing outside the house, and Meng Pandi came to gossip with Lin Qiao. She was not only worried about He Yunxiu's marriage, but also about her childbirth. The two of them used a shoe sole, and the other used soft cloth to sew small underpants. They were chatting, and when they mentioned He Yunxiu, Meng Pandi said: "You said why Yunxiu's stomach hasn't moved? It's been more than a year. It stands to reason that there should be Right now. Doesn’t every family have several children now? They can’t have only one child. Besides, there must be a child born to two people, so that the marriage can be strong. Xiaoshu is already six or seven years old. Don't worry, they have the energy to bring up a baby." Lin Qiao said, "Don't worry, it took more than a year for us to conceive."

"You were not very old at that time, Yunxiu was twenty-five years old, and you were young and strong. Why didn't you get pregnant? I was thinking that your elder brother gave birth to one, so it must be fine. Why don't you feel Yunxiu's pulse? Is there something wrong with her body, please prescribe some medicine for her to recuperate." Meng Pandi said.

Lin Qiao remembered that she wanted to go to the hospital at that time, and asked, "Did Yunxiu tell you?"

Without contraception, if you don't get pregnant for a year, you can go to the hospital for infertility treatment.

"How could she tell me this kind of thing? I've been thinking about it here and worrying about it. Didn't I come to you?" Meng Pandi said.

Lin Qiao said: "Then how dare we bring it up? If we can't come up, we can say that she may have a physical problem."

Meng Pandi said: "Yes, I was thinking about it and couldn't say it, so I came to you. You are a doctor. Anyway, it's more convenient than me talking."

Lin Qiao thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go to her together and mention this matter? If she's embarrassed, I'll tell my elder brother."

Meng Pandi said: "I See if it

works." The two of them did what they said, and immediately walked towards the shipbuilding factory's affiliated courtyard, and when they arrived at He Yunxiu's house, she just sewed up a stack of bellybands and handed them to Lin Qiao and Meng Pandi respectively: "This is for you guys. The bellybands made by the two little ones, I didn’t make them for the older ones, and the older ones don’t like to wear bellybands.”

The two took over the bellybands, and it was still a red five-poison bellyband. The workmanship was very pleasantly surprised. , you should also consider having a baby, and you can prepare small clothes in advance when you have a baby."

Although the discussion was made to be more tactful, Meng Pandi spoke quickly and threw the two people's discussion to the public. On the back of her head, she said: "Yunxiu, do you use contraception? How many times have you had intercourse? You should have had it for such a long time."

He Yunxiu's face immediately turned red like cooked shrimp.

Meng Pandi said again: "What are you embarrassed about? You have been married for more than a year, so you don't look like a big girl."

He Yunxiu lowered her head and asked Lin Qiao: "Will abnormal menstruation affect pregnancy?"

Lin Qiao said: "Of course it will affect. Irregular menstruation will affect ovulation, and the uterine environment may not be suitable for fertilized eggs to implant. Are you inaccurate during menstruation? Is it more or less?" He Yunxiu nodded: "It used to be accurate

, I was frightened and frightened by the flood in my hometown, and my menstruation has not been allowed since then, sometimes many, sometimes not for several months."

Lin Qiao said, "Then let me take your pulse."

The two sat face to face Next, Lin Qiao took her pulse and asked her about her period. Meng Pandi said anxiously: "You said your sister-in-law is a doctor who understands both Chinese and Western medicine, so why didn't you tell her earlier? Don't be sorry, Lin Qiao, you can prescribe some medicine for her, there are traditional Chinese medicines to take care of it."

Lin Qiao comforted her: "It's not a big problem, many women's menstruation is not normal. I will give you some medicine If you take the medicine for a period of time, your period will be normal, and then you will be pregnant." "Really?" He Yunxiu

said in surprise, "Then I will take the medicine."

You said you have already taken the medicine, do you have any other problems? I told your sister-in-law together, they are all from my own family, so why bother?" He

Yunxiu said, "It's gone."

Lin Qiao said, "Then Just drink the medicine first."

The two walked towards the camp, and Meng Pandi said, "Thanks to the two of us asking her, she has a thin skin, and we have to wait for her to say that she might not get it."

Lin Qiao Said: "It's nothing serious, just take some medicine."

"Lin Qiao, it's a lucky moment for my cousin to have a sister-in-law like you," Meng Pandi said.

When she arrived at the medical office the next day, Lin Qiao started dispensing the medicine, just as the monkey scripture she had picked up could come in handy.

On Sunday, Lin Qiao went to the hospital of the ship manufacturer, sent the medicine to He Yunxiu, and told her how to decoct it: "Relax, you must relax, don't have psychological pressure, and you can definitely take care of your period." "Great.

" Already, Lin Qiao." He Yunxiu said.

She was a little moved, this little sister-in-law is really kind.

Seeing Xiaoshu listening with her ears on the side, Lin Qiao rubbed the top of her hair and said, "Just like Doudou, he only cares about adults' affairs." Xiaoshu asked worriedly, "Is

my aunt sick? What is it?" ?”

Lin Qiao laughed and said, “Your son knows that he loves you.”

She pinched Xiaoshu’s face and said, “Just drink some Chinese medicine, nothing wrong.”

He Yunxiu also laughed: “The elder son knows how to miss his mother, May I make you your favorite oyster omelette tonight?"

"Yes, Mom." Xiaoshu said.

"I'll give you the price of the medicine." He Yunxiu said.

"Sister-in-law, there's no need. I don't have much money. I'll give it to you." Lin Qiao said.

The two were pushing back and forth, and when Lin Huaixuan came home from get off work, it seemed that He Yunxiu had already told her about taking medicine.

Lin Huaixuan said: "There's no need to pay. Lin Qiao has to go to work and take care of the baby. If you have time, you can help her take care of the baby. Just make a few more clothes for the baby." He Yunxiu nodded: "Okay." "Then

I

will Let's go, brother, remind sister-in-law to take medicine." Lin Qiao said.

"Well, I'll make medicine for her." Lin Huaixuan said.

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Brother is doing well, it's worth learning from gay men." Chapter 43

School starts in autumn, and Doudou is going to the first grade of elementary school.

Lin Qiao bought him a canvas army green schoolbag, and the little guy had already prepared a tin stationery case, pencil eraser, notebook and other stationery for himself.

DouDou sorted out his schoolbag and stationery over and over again, looking forward to going to school.

Gu Lin was going to go out, so he deliberately took out the day when the school started, and sent him to school.

After breakfast, Lin Qiao and Gu Lin carried a baby and sent them to kindergarten first, and then sent them to primary school.

"Brother will be a primary school student from now on." DouDou proudly waved goodbye to his younger siblings.

Nannan and Beibei sat on their little beds, and stretched out their little hands to say goodbye to their eldest brother.

Because of premature birth and poor development, Lin Qiao kept supplementing him with nutrition, Dou Dou kept up, about the same size as a five-year-old child, but he was still very thin.

The little one is carrying a cross-body schoolbag, a white shirt tucked into black shorts, and brown leather sandals that look very high-end, clean, refreshing and cute, especially conspicuous among a group of elementary school students.

Gu Lin looked at his son and thought that everyone said that Doudou looked like him, especially when he was just picked up from the gate of the camp, not only did he look like him, but he even spoke like him. But in the past few years, the little guy has grown up a bit, and his temperament is becoming more and more like that of a man from the Lin family, like a young master, especially his black and thick hair is parted, and he looks like a descendant of a capitalist. "Doudou, let your mother shave your head after school, keep the same size as your father, cool off." Gu Lin suggested. DouDou hurriedly stroked his hair, and refused, "No, this hairstyle is the most handsome." Lin Qiao took DouDou's soft little hand and said, "It's really handsome." Gu Lin said, "Okay." At the school gate I saw Lin Huaixuan and He Yunxiu who came to send Xiaoshu to school. "It's really early to go around." He Yunxiu said.

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "From now on, you will be in the same class." The

young children, even if they are only one month older, will mature a lot if they are only one year older. Xiaoshu patted his chest like a man: "Doudou, you should be our The youngest child in the school will be the eldest cousin at school.”

Every year, the school teacher would persuade the islanders to send their school-age children to school, but children often enter the first grade at the age of eight or nine.

The little tree was already strong, but after Huang Meirong left, she lost weight for a while, and now He Yunxiu raised her like a calf.

Lin Qiao put her hands on Xiao Shu's shoulders: "Then please leave it to my cousin."

After sending the two children to the door of the classroom, Lin Qiao told the teacher to arrange them to be at the same table, and the teacher readily agreed.

There are more than 20 children in one class, and the two seats are on the left side by the window. Seeing the two go to the designated seats and sit down, the four go to the Academic Affairs Office to pay the tuition fees, and they don't stay long, and walk to the school gate together.

Kong Kong was more reluctant to part with his little master than Lin Qiao, he climbed up the tree by the wall, sat on the top of the wall and looked into the classroom.

If it wasn't for worrying that the children watching it would affect the class, Lin Qiao would have asked Kong Kong to accompany her around here.

"Kong Kong, let's go." Lin Qiao greeted it.

Hearing the sound, Kongkong turned his head to look at Lin Qiao, and then reluctantly turned his head to look at the classroom. He struggled like this several times until Dou Dou walked out of the classroom and waved him to go home. Then Dou Dou jumped off the wall and followed Lin Qiao and the others.

Now, Kong Kong was the only one who went to work with Lin Qiao. Lin Qiao saw that he was bored, and climbed up and down the tree in the yard of the medical office.

The three children all went to kindergarten or elementary school, Lin Qiao was indeed much more relaxed, but she didn't expect that Doudou would go to elementary school, so she would still be concerned.

From noon to off-duty time, she immediately rushed to the school gate to pick up Doudou and go home to cook and eat.

The other parents didn't come to pick up their children and let them go home by themselves. When Lin Qiao saw He Yunxiu at the school gate, they both smiled knowingly.

Kong Kong happily ran over, bouncing around the little master.

Seeing Lin Qiao, Dou Dou's eyes instantly brightened up. He could have walked by himself like other children, but his mother came to pick him up!

"How do the two primary school students feel on their first day at school?" Lin Qiao asked.

Xiaoshu rushed to say, "Doudou can read and do arithmetic, and he knows what the teacher taught."

Doudou nodded proudly: "Yes."

He Yunxiu asked Lin Qiao for advice: "Have you taught him before?"

Lin Qiao The Buddha took the baby and said: "He learned it all by himself."

Doudou waved his little hand: "See you in the afternoon, Xiaoshu."

"See you in the afternoon." Xiaoshu said.

Lin Qiao held Dou Dou's soft little hand, which brought her a lot of joy and made her care about the child so much, holding his hand felt at ease.

On the road, I met Gu Lin head-on, walking towards the school, "Dad," Doudou called out in surprise.

Both parents came to pick him up, this is the treatment that no other children have!

Gu Lin walked over with big strides, bent down to hug DouDou, saw the corners of his lips curled up, raised him up high to let him sit on her shoulders, held her little hand with both hands, and said: "The eldest son looks very happy, It feels good to go to school on the first day."

"I like school." Doudou said happily.

——Just

after lunch on Sunday, Meng Pandi came with He Yunxiu and Xiaoshu, the former said: "Lin Qiao, show Yunxiu, she has not had a good appetite these days, and she vomited at my house just now , I look pregnant, you can take her pulse to see if she has a bad stomach or she is pregnant."

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, you sit down, your menstruation will not be regular after you take the medicine Two months, and then a month without menstruation, I didn't let you continue to drink medicine."

Meng Pandi rushed to say: "She has never given birth, no matter how thin-skinned a woman is, she will have a thick skin after giving birth." He

Yunxiu blushed slightly, and said: "Drink the medicine for three months, and the next two months of menstruation will be allowed." Yes, I haven't been here for another two months."

The two sat down facing each other, Lin Qiao felt her pulse, which was slippery, and asked her how she felt now, and said, "Sister-in-law, you are indeed pregnant, and now you are two. A little more than a month."

Yunxiu said pleasantly: "The medicine you gave me really works. I got pregnant right after my period was recuperated. I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Meng Pandi beamed with joy and said: " Lin Qiao is a college student who has graduated from a serious medical major, can he have good medical skills!"

Lin Qiao said: "My elder brother will be very happy if he finds out, congratulations to you and elder brother."

He Yunxiu said: "Your elder brother will come back from a business trip in five or six days. I'll tell him when he comes back." "

I'll go and tell Mrs. Luo to arrange lighter work for you, and pay special attention in the first three months and don't do heavy work." Meng Pandi said.

Lin Qiao nodded: "Don't do heavy work after three months, and add more nutrition. When I was pregnant, I ate seafood, but you have a cold body, so you should eat less cold food like crabs." He Yunxiu nodded: "Well

, I eat less seafood."

Meng Pandi said: "We can't buy meat on the island, so I'll catch two roosters from my coop for you, and when I'm free, I'll go find some chickens in the stockade for you to supplement nutrition. "

He Yunxiu was very moved, her cousin and sister-in-law both cared about her so much, she said: "I'm not that expensive, I can do anything, just eat the same food as usual, and don't need to eat too good." Lin Qiao went to the

bedroom He greeted his nephew who was playing with his younger siblings at the door: "Xiao Shu, come here."

The two children ran out together, and Lin Qiao said, "Xiao Shu, I have good news for you, your mother has a baby in her womb." "

Xiaoshu's eyes sparkled, and he said, "That's great, I want to have younger brothers and younger sisters, and Doudou has two younger brothers and sisters."

He hoped that his mother would have a baby, because the third aunt, Meng Pandi, said that her marriage with her father would be strong only when her mother gave birth to a child.

And there was the matter of his aunt giving birth, and he could accept it without mental preparation.

Lin Qiao could see that his nephew was sincerely welcoming the baby, which was just right, so he didn't have to do his ideological work.

He Yunxiu could guess what Lin Qiao was thinking, took Xiao Shu to touch his little face, and said softly, "Xiao Shu, mother will treat you well when she has a baby, and mother will treat you as her own."

" Well, I also regard you as my own mother." Xiao Shu said while snuggling into He Yunxiu's arms.

Meng Pandi said: "That's for sure, Xiaoshu is such a smart and smart child, how painful it is, and besides Yunxiu is kind-hearted, she can't be the stepmother of an evil person." Lin Qiao laughed: "Of course

, Speaking of which, the elder sister-in-law is also Xiaoshu's own mother, and we Xiaoshu have a good eye."

After joking for a while, He Yunxiu said: "Lin Qiao, you still have to bring your two children, you should take a nap, then let's go back first."

Lin Qiao Nodding her head: "You also need to rest more, but don't be tired. When my elder brother comes back, I will tell him to share more housework." He Yunxiu pursed his lips and smiled: "You don't say that he is like this too.

"

——Lin

Huaixuan After calling the factory, He Yunxiu went to pick it up. He already knew about his daughter-in-law's pregnancy, so he was naturally very happy. Before returning to the island after work, he bought a goat and prepared to treat his family to dinner.

He called Gu Lin in advance, and Gu Lin picked up Lin Peiyuan.

Lin Peiyuan hadn't seen Nannan and Beibei yet, and He Yunxiu was pregnant, so he celebrated together.

In the afternoon, Xiaoshu called people from house to house, telling Lin Qiao and Meng Pandi's family to go to his house for dinner.

Xiaoshu said: "My dad bought an Eastern goat. It is said that it is a sheep from Hainan Island. It has no smell and the meat is very delicious. It is used to entertain distinguished guests in the local area. I heard that it used to be a tribute to the emperor. They all like to eat."

Saying this, the saliva secretion in the mouth of the little guy who wanted to eat meat accelerated.

"I've never eaten mutton. It tastes delicious, so let's go." As long as there is meat to eat, Doudou is very active.

"You haven't even eaten mutton? Then you should eat more today." Xiaoshu said.

Doudou said: "My mother will definitely not let me eat more, let me limit it."

Lin Qiao brought the cake she made for the two babies, water cups, diapers and spare clothes, and hung them on the stroller. He carried the two little ones into the car again, greeted Doudou, Xiaoshu and Kongkong, and said, "Let's go."

The two babies like their mother to push them out the most. They were very excited all the way, looking around and laughing. stop.

Now all the affiliated houses of the ship manufacturer use bamboo to surround the front of our house, so that we have a yard. The space is not big, and we can grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks.

He Yunxiu planted a circle of climbing vegetables such as gourds, pumpkins, loofahs, cucumbers, and beans beside the fence. Usually, she collected water and rainwater from the kitchen to water the vegetables. Can eat vegetables, in addition to not being soundproof, the privacy is also good.

Lin Huaixuan is the chef, responsible for making mutton, Lin Qiao and Meng Pandi help him, Lin Qiao cuts papaya and mango, prepares to make dessert with coconut milk, Meng Pandi picks loofah and beans, pulls them from the ground Radish is washing and choosing vegetables.

Doudou and Xiaoshu are watching the children outside while waiting for the meal. There are two elder brothers and Kong Kong beside them. The two little children are very well-behaved.

Lin Huaixuan said: "There are three ways to eat mutton today, braised mutton, mutton radish soup, and braised lamb chops."

Lin Qiao said,

"Isn't it too much trouble to make three ways of eating?" Let's have a good meal." Lin Huaixuan said.

A large piece of mutton was gurgling and cooking in the pot, and the aroma was radiating. Gu Lin and Lin Peiyuan pushed open the bamboo fence door and walked in.

"Grandpa."

"Grandpa."

Doudou and Xiaoshu yelled in unison: "Little brother and sister are here."

Lin Peiyuan responded, looked in the direction of the children, and saw the baby carriage at a glance. Both babies were lying in it. If you can't see it, go there quickly.

The two children ran over and affectionately took Lin Peiyuan's hand and walked to the stroller.

Xiaoshao can already run all over the place, Xiaowan is very sensible, children over eight years old are just like big girls, Meng Pandi is completely assured that she can look after the children by herself.

Lin Peiyuan wanted to see the two babies very much, but after all, he was in charge of a secret military project. Even if he was Gu Lin's father-in-law, he couldn't leave easily. It's been such a long time, and he hasn't been able to come to Qiongya Island.

Lin Peiyuan looked at the two children happily, and said, "One looks like mother, and the other looks like father."

Doudou said, "It just so happens that Nan Nan looks like Dad, and Bei Bei looks like mother."

Both children have beautiful features , Fair and clean, with white and pink skin, all grinning, looking happy and healthy.

It's not easy to come out once, he really wants to hug the two babies, but he thinks the two babies are too young, so he doesn't dare to hug them.

Only then did he remember that when his three children were young, he was away and rarely cared about them. From this point of view, he was not a qualified father.

Gu Lin hugged Nannan to show Lin Peiyuan a demonstration. Lin Peiyuan hugged Beibei, with Nannan's little baby in his hands, feeling that life is beautiful. He was very surprised and said: "This little girl doesn't care about seeing me at all. You are still smiling at me."

Lin Qiao came out of the room and said, "Father, relatives are connected by blood after all, don't look at them young, you know they are relatives, and you won't admit birth." Handed Bei

Bei to Lin Qiao In his hand, Lin Peiyuan took Nan Nan from Gu Lin's hand again, carefully holding Nan Nan in his arms like a treasure, kissing and kissing again and again.

It is only now that he understands that after going through the devolution, he knows how to cherish his family better than before. The wealth and academic achievements are not as important as the safety and health of a family.

In the main room, Gu Lin and the others were talking, and in the bedroom, Meng Pandi, who didn't have to work, changed into the new skirt Lin Huaixuan bought for her, and showed it to the second sister and sister-in-law.

It was a white and blue plaid dress with lapel collar, which looked very energetic and tall.

"This skirt is really fashionable." Meng Pandi said.

Lin Qiao didn't hesitate to praise her, and said, "My sister-in-law has become more and more beautiful since she got married. Besides, my elder brother has good eyesight, so the clothes he chooses must look good." He Yunxiu felt extremely happy

. It was to buy a whole sheep to celebrate, and to buy clothes for her. She really met a good man this time.

Being able to have a hearty meal of meat other than seafood on the island is just like Chinese New Year. The smell of fresh mutton wafts around, and everyone sits around a round table to eat.

Dongshan goat is really fresh and delicious, not smelly at all, and the red-braised mutton has a rich taste; the white-cut mutton has a thin skin on it, which is soft and smooth; the mutton soup is as thick and white as milk, fat but not greasy.

Lin Huaixuan called everyone to eat more, filled a bowl of mutton and radish soup for He Yunxiu, put it aside to dry, and said, "You can eat some radish later, and you won't get angry if you eat mutton and radish together.

" With a smile, he replied softly.

Meng Pandi joked: "Yunxiu, look at how careful Huaixuan is and how kind he is to you. You won't be sad during this pregnancy." Xiaoshu

put a piece of braised mutton for DouDou, and said, "Try it, it's so fresh to me. You have bitten your own tongue, you are so thin, eat more." "

And you, Xiao Wan'er, eat more too." Xiao Shu is a qualified little master, and also gave Xiao Wan'er a piece.

The two babies couldn't eat mutton, so Lin Qiao had already fed them egg custard before dinner, and now she put the stroller behind her, letting the two of them lie in it and play.

Lin Peiyuan was deeply moved. Now the elder son and the younger daughter are all on the island, the marriage is stable, and the life is peaceful and peaceful. He himself has not suffered much, and he is involved in important work on the island. This should naturally be attributed to Gu Lin's protection.

He poured rice wine into their glasses, stood up and raised the glass to toast Gu Lin: "Son-in-law, the Lin family's safety these past few years is all thanks to you. I won't say much about my gratitude. I'll toast you." If

not Gu Lin, it's hard to imagine what the situation of his family is like.

Gu Lin only felt that it was too sudden, so he quickly picked up the wine glass and stood up, saying, "Dad, I am your son-in-law. It is my duty to take care of the family. I should respect you. You have done a lot of work for the construction of the island.

" Wine glass: "Gu Lin, I'll toast you too."

Zhao Qiangguo stood up with a clumsy tongue and said, "Gu Tuan, I also toast to you."

Gu Lin drank three glasses of wine in a row and said, "What do I do? It's all right, everyone should hurry up and eat, the food is not good when it's cold."

After the meal, Lin Huaixuan asked the two families to bring some mutton back, and Meng Pandi said: "Sheep are only so big, and Pandi is just to supplement nutrition. It's time, you eat."

Lin Huaixuan had already cut up the mutton, and said: "The big sheep that I bought originally, this sheep has more than 30 catties after skinning, it's too hot, you can take some back to give to the children Eat."

Lin Qiao and the others took the mutton, and took the child towards the family courtyard.

Lin Peiyuan will return to the combat preparation island tomorrow, and Gu Lin will send Lin Peiyuan back to the dormitory before returning home.

Knowing that He Yunxiu was pregnant, both Jiang Chaoying and Xu Manzhi sent over a large package of food, and both wrote letters saying that they would make bedding and clothes for the child, so that she would work less and not be tired.

"I haven't met our mother, but I think our mother must be very nice." He Yunxiu said.

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "You are her daughter-in-law, so it is only natural that she will treat you well." "

When I was in the countryside, they were not counted as my adoptive parents. Except for my three cousins, there were no good people around me. Now It's completely different from before, and the people around me are pretty good. After escaping from the bad situation, everything is better in the new environment." He Yunxiu said with emotion.

Lin Qiao encouraged her: "Run your family well, and your family's life will get better and better."

"It will." He Yunxiu smiled happily.

In a blink of an eye, it's the end of the year again. Chapter 44

In Xu Manzhi's letter, it was cryptic that almost all classes at Qingcheng University resumed, and those who were sent to the suburbs to work in the suburbs also returned to the city one after another to pay back their wages and resume work. The situation is much better than before.

They lived smoothly on the island, and Lin Qiao gradually relaxed.

I just came out of the medical office on Saturday afternoon. On the way, I ran into an acquaintance. It turned out to be Huang Yading. She shouted excitedly to Lin Qiao, "Doctor Lin, we just came back from the island, so we came to the medical office to look for you."

Since After sneaking away from the island last time, neither Huang Yading nor Lan Naren came back. Lin Qiao could only get sporadic news about them from the Lan family, and most of these news were complaints from the Lan family. She didn't expect her to go back to the island directly.

Standing next to her was a young man with dark skin and short hair who looked very energetic. She guessed it was Lan Naren, and Huang Yading was holding a baby in his hands.

"Are you a family of three?" Lin Qiao walked towards them and asked as they walked.

Seeing that Lin Qiao was happy and affectionate, Huang Yading introduced, "He is Lan Naren, our child is just one month old, and Lan Naren said that the child must come back to the island to have a look after the full moon. I brought you here, I want you to see him, and he said he would thank you in person."

Lan Naren handed over a bag of things and said, "Doctor Lin, this is a special product we brought back from Huadu. Dried longan and lotus root are a little bit of our heart, you must accept it, thank you for helping Aden clear his grievances.” Huang Yading seems to be living a good life, although she has become a mother, she has regained the lively and cheerful girlhood, she smiled Said: "I'm right, Dr. Lin is a kind-hearted person. Seeing how shy you are, Dr. Lin, you can't speak well." Lin Qiao had a very good impression of Lan Naren, after all, he had been on the island for several years Only one technical secondary school student, faced with family resistance and the gap in education between the two, has the courage to pursue true love, and knowing Huang Yading's status as a "poison master", he still chooses to trust her, and in order to arrange a job for Huang Yading, he gave up the better Various job opportunities, all kinds of practices show that this is a man who is responsible and worthy of entrustment.

She took a look into the net bag, saw that it was just some souvenirs, gave way several times, and accepted the things, "You are too polite."

Lin Qiao asked, "You put the brocade on the fence, too."

Huang Yading repeated Nodding: "I sneaked away. My sister and brother-in-law sent me out of the island in the dark. I didn't want to cause trouble for you, so I put the brocade I gave you on the fence." She happily let Lin Qiao watch

them The baby was a girl,

and after taking a look at it, Lin Qiao asked, "Has she always had eye mucus in her right eye?" One eye was so blurry that I couldn’t even open it, we reckoned that she was on fire, she was breastfeeding, and I didn’t get angry myself, so I wouldn’t pass it on to her.” Lin Qiao said: “

She It's not getting angry, it's because the nasolacrimal duct is blocked, so there will be a lot of eye mucus, but the child may be better when it's older, you usually have to give her a massage." "Ah, the nasolacrimal duct is blocked, is it serious?" Lan

Ren At first glance, he is a good father, but he is very nervous about their baby.

Lin Qiao said: "Many children have a little ailment. When they grow up, they will be fine. You can give her a massage. If it doesn't work after three months, go to the hospital to clear it up. It's a small problem." "How to massage?" Huang

Yading ask.

It was inconvenient to press on a child, so Lin Qiao took Huang Yading as a demonstration, pressed her index finger on the bridge of her right nose, and said, "You must wash your hands, like me, press downward and inward, three times a day, Fifteen minutes each time, it's very simple."

"I've learned it, and I'll give her a massage when I get back, thanks to our visit." Huang Yading said.

"Then come back this time and meet the parents of both parties. What did they say?" After solving the problem, Lin Qiao asked again.

Huang Yading said: "You know my family's situation. I don't think it matters if I don't come back, but Lan Naren wants to come back. After all, he didn't go home after graduation and marriage. Now we have children, and the family doesn't want to stop it." We'll come back and see if there's a way, Lan Ren must contact his family."

Lan Naren said: "My family's attitude towards the two of us is okay. They are worried that I will not come back in the future, so they can't speak too much." "Yes,

as long as we don't come back, they will lose their temper." Huang Aden said.

"Their family also held a full moon for their children. They invited relatives and friends. Dr. Lin, go and have fun. Your family will go. I don't know if it is an honor to invite head Gu." Huang Yading said.

Lin Qiao said: "Since his family can hold the full moon, it should mean that they don't have that much opinion on you, so I won't join in the fun. Gu Tuan is on a mission, and he's not at home. Besides, I have two more children, no It's convenient." "Doctor Lin, you can go. When I left the island, I didn't know if I could come back. You are the person I want to see the most when I go back to the island." Huang Yading begged to the person he trusted and liked the most. Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go anyway." After chatting for a while, I learned that Huang Yading did not give up weaving Li brocade while working. Subsidize the family. If you don't live with your parents-in-law, you don't have to deal with conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The life of a family of three is considered comfortable. The four of them separated, Lin Qiao quickened her pace, and hurried to the kindergarten to pick up the two children. The next day, Lin Qiao sent the three children to He Yunxiu's place, and went to participate in the full moon wine by herself. She gave some soft fabrics to Huang Yading as part of the party. At the full moon wine, she was of course the most popular guest, and Lan Naren's parents warmly entertained her. "I heard that Head Gu was on a mission, why didn't the three children come, why don't we go and call them?" Lin Qiao said, "No, they are all at the uncle's house." Huang Yading's father and stepmother are very insignificant Sitting in the corner, Lan Naren was right, even though his family still complained about him giving up a better job and insisting on marrying Huang Yading, but both of them had children, and they were worried that Lan Naren would not Go home, it's not good to say anything.

Moreover, the Li people do not have patriarchal thinking, they will not force their daughter-in-law to have a boy, and the young couple will not have this pressure.

——Finally,

it was time for the mid-term exam. After school that day, Xiao Shu came with them. They told Lin Qiao a big news.

The two children were very excited and told Lin Qiao enthusiastically that whoever came first in the final exam would be rewarded with a little piglet.

"From the first to sixth grades, the first place in each class will be rewarded to the little pig." Doudou rubbed his palms, the little piggy was more attractive than any prize, and he really wanted to win a little piggy back.

"Doudou is the best student in our class. He will definitely win the first place and win the piglet. Let's raise it up so that we can eat meat next year." Xiaoshu seemed to smell the

aroma of braised pork, and he Looking forward to Doudou can win the little pig.

"To reward you with such a valuable thing? A little piglet costs more than ten yuan." Lin Qiao said.

Doudou couldn't help nodding: "Mm, um, the little pigs sponsored by the farm."

"Pigs, pigs." Nannan and Beibei said while holding the hands of their two elder brothers.

There are few places to play on the island, sometimes on weekends Lin Qiao will take the two children to visit the farm, and the two children like to watch the pigs next to the pigsty.

Lin Qiao knew that Luo Yuying was cooking, and shouted through the wall: "Sister Luo, is the farm a reward for the school's sponsorship of piglets as the first place?"

Luo Yuying leaned over the wall and said, "Yes, it is The black pigs raised on the farm, the meat is delicious after you have eaten it. There are three sows giving birth, and the farm does not plan to raise so many. This is not to encourage the children to study hard, so they will not sell it. The first place will be rewarded with piglets , The second and third places also have prizes, which seem to be stationery."

In addition to growing grain, the farm also raises chickens, ducks and pigs, which can basically meet the daily dietary needs of the soldiers. We can also buy some meat or share some.

Xiaoshu is very confident: "As far as Chinese and arithmetic are concerned, Dou Dou will definitely pass the double hundred test. He also asked the teacher if other students also got double hundred, who would win the little pig? The teacher said that no one has ever been able to pass the double hundred test. I believe Dou Dou , he will definitely be able to take the Double Hundred and Win Little Pig."

Lin Qiao said: "Xiao Shu, you can also strive for the first place.

" You won't be the first."

Lin Qiao patted Xiaoshu on the shoulder and said, "Your mentality is really unusual, don't be anxious or jealous, and you will definitely be able to make a difference in the future." These days, the children of the family home in the camp are very serious and active after school

. Xiao Waner and Gang Bian are in the third grade, and Jin Dou is in the fourth grade. Everyone wants to win the little pig.

Apart from Doudou and Xiaoshu, Xiaowaner is the most obedient and the most serious in studying, Jindou is also very good in grades, Gangbi is a skinny boy, there are nails on the bench in class, he can't sit still at all, facing the temptation of the little piggy I couldn't bear it anymore.

After dinner, Gang Bian discussed with Dou Dou from the other side of the wall: "If you win the piglet, I will help you feed it with pigweed. It will never fall every day. Can you share some with me when you eat meat?" Dou Dou

seriously Said: "Sister Jindou can also beat the little pig."

Gangzheng scratched his head: "Golden Dou said that

he doesn't distinguish between my meat and meat. " I’m so tired of tutoring him with his homework, I don’t care about him, even if you go around, don’t give him meat, just let him be greedy.”

Lin Qiao couldn’t help laughing when she heard what they said, and said, “You have to work hard on the steel coin. "

"Isn't it a bit late now?" Gang Bian said in embarrassment.

"Being envious of fish in the Yuan, it's better to retreat and make a net." Lin Qiao said.

"What do you mean?" Gang Yan said with his eyes wide open.

Luo Yuying greeted him: "You are illiterate, Gangbang, I understand everything. Aunt Lin is telling you to read and write quickly."

When the results of the final exams were announced, the children in the camp’s family home had a lot to gain. They won double hundred in the exam and won a piglet, and Xiao Wan’er and Jindou also got a pig each.

After school, a group of children took the three pigs home.

Little Wan'er is very quiet, and the little pig she gave her is also as obedient as she is, lying quietly in the arms of the little master.

Doudou, Xiaoshu, Jindou, and Gang Bian all chased the piglets with branches, competing to see whose piglets run faster, and the children cheered and cheered beside them, which was very lively.

They were delayed on the road for a while, Lin Qiao had already brought Nan Nan and Bei Bei home, when she heard the movement outside the gate, she carried the two children with each arm and walked out.

"Little pig, little pig." Nannan and Beibei called out in surprise, raising their little hands.

Lin Qiao was afraid that the little pig would bump into the two children, so she still hugged them and moved out of the way.

"No more." Doudou told the little pig to stop, picked him up, walked up to Lin Qiao, and asked his siblings to touch the little pig.

"Auntie, it's still early, let's hunt pigweed." Xiaoshu said, he wished the little pig would grow up quickly and eat meat.

"Little pigs are still young, eat the bran and vegetables in the vegetable field first, and then harvest pigweed when they are older. After that, the pigweed will be handed over to you. You don't need to go up the mountain, just grow it near the family courtyard." Lin Qiao explain.

Gu Lin came back early from work today, and as soon as he entered the door, Doudou proudly yelled: "Dad, I passed the double hundred in the midterm exam, and I won the first place, and I won the piggy." Gu Lin was carrying a bucket of bread in his

hand Crab, said: "The eldest son is amazing, these crabs are for you to celebrate."

He spoiled the baby more and more, put down the crabs and started to build a pigsty.

Luo Yuying's Coke broke, and she said through the wall: "I didn't expect our family's golden beans to be so competitive and win a piglet back. If it costs more than ten yuan, I can't bear to buy it." She brought back several large bundles from the farm and gave them to the pigs

. Lin Qiao gave Lin Qiao two bundles of straw.

Lin Qiao looked at the breaded crab, which was bigger than her face, and couldn't do anything. The breaded crab had huge claws, which were thick and powerful at first glance, and she dared not move as it barked its teeth and claws so aggressively.

Hearing his daughter-in-law calling him, Gu Lin immediately put down the bamboo in his hand and ran to the water tank. He was obviously in a good mood, looking at the "weak" daughter-in-law, he found it very interesting, and said, "Isn't it just a few crabs? Go to the battlefield and send some crabs to defeat you, your name is Brother Gu Lin, and Brother Gu Lin will wash it for you."

Lin Qiao was amused by him: "There are three children, can you be more serious, call Uncle Gu Lin, so you are older."

Gu Lin looked at her helplessly: "You think I am old? I will definitely prove myself tonight."

He will be thirty-one soon.

"No, brother Gu Lin, Kong Wu is powerful, so I dare not call you old." Lin Qiao interrupted him hurriedly as the four children were beside her.

After steaming the crabs, Lin Qiao asked Xiaoshu to take home two.

When the dinner was ready, the pigsty surrounded by bamboo was also completed, and the piglets were scattered in it. Lin Qiao temporarily took the chicken feeding pot and fed the pigs the boiled pig food, mixed with shrimp skin, and the pig food became It's very fresh, and the piglets are very delicious.

Nannan and Beibei’s dinner is steamed eggs with crab roe. Lin Qiao feeds the two babies first, and Gu Lin is in charge of peeling the crabs. He eats breaded crabs in a very rough way. Come out to feed Lin Qiao and DouDou. The crab meat is even more amazing. To exaggerate, the meat in a large tong is almost enough for DouDou to eat.

——He

Yunxiu's belly was getting bigger and bigger. When Lin Qiao went to see her, Lin Huaixuan took the opportunity to ask about the precautions for childbirth and confinement.

In the past, when Huang Meiqin was pregnant, the family conditions were good, and the servants would take good care of her, and Lin Huaixuan didn't have to worry about anything, but now the conditions are limited, and everything has to be done by himself, he wants to know more about it in advance.

Lin Qiao joked, "Sister-in-law, look how much my elder brother cares about you two."

He Yunxiu smiled and said, "Your elder brother has worked hard these days. He is busy at work and has to take time to take care of me, but he is too busy." She mentioned the precautions for pregnant women, such as

not using cold water, not sitting for a long time, and not using your eyes Excessively lead to vision loss, as for any problems that the baby encounters, just come to her directly.

The pregnancy of a daughter is a big deal for Jiang Chaoying. She had asked for leave several times when she was looking for a daughter. She also asked for leave to take care of the confinement when the girl was pregnant. A few days before He Yunxiu's due date, she came to the island with big bags to take care of her daughter.

He Yunxiu gave birth to a daughter whose name was also given by Lin Peiyuan. She was called Lin Xiwei, implying that the light would eventually come, and her nickname was Mimi.

Jiang Chaoying liked her granddaughter very much. She said that her daughter was handsome and her son-in-law was well-looking. Sure enough, the daughter she gave birth to was very beautiful.

As a person deeply persecuted by patriarchal thoughts, He Yunxiu simply hated this kind of thinking, and asked Lin Huaixuan: "Do you like girls, and do you also patriarchal?" Jiang Chaoying said: "Yunxiu see how you

talk , You haven’t seen Huaixuan hugging his daughter and washing diapers all day long, everyone can tell that he loves children very much.” He

Yunxiu smiled and said: “Mom, I can tell, I just said it casually. "

Lin Huaixuan was strolling with his daughter on the ground to coax her to sleep, and said: "Of course my son and daughter like it. Our Lin family does not have patriarchal thoughts. Just look at Lin Qiao and you will know that she is the most favored in our family. She and my two elder brothers spoiled and raised her."

He Yunxiu said yearningly: "Your family raised Lin Qiao really well, she is generous, confident, tolerant, and has many advantages that only a spoiled child has. I also want to raise my daughter to be like Lin Qiao. I don’t want my daughter to suffer through the hardships I have experienced, we also want to pamper my daughter and of course Xiaoshu, and try to make their life as easy as possible.” Jiang Chaoying said: "There are also grandpa and grandma. What happened in the past will never happen again. Xiaoshu is also a good brother. You two have both children now, just take good care of your two children."

Jiang Chaoying felt very relieved. The older son-in-law really does take care of others. Even though he is very busy at work, he still cares about his family and takes on as much housework as possible. He will wash the children's diapers and wipe He Yunxiu's body. Daughter-in-law works.

He Yunxiu is also a person who is used to work, she can't stay idle, and how can rural people confine themselves to confinement like this, she said: "I'm not like Lin Qiao, it will take a long time for her to recover after giving birth to twins." Some, I have recovered a long time ago, and I can do everything."

Lin Huaixuan said: "I will help you with some work and you can take good care of your body. Don't rush to work. When your mother is gone, you will still be the main force with the baby. Have a good rest."

Jiang Chaoying feels that a high salary can provide the family with a comfortable life, and the son-in-law who is willing to take care of his wife can't be found even with a lantern.

Of course, she also felt sorry for her son-in-law. Seeing that Lin Huaixuan was still drawing blueprints after the whole family fell asleep, she couldn't bear to be busy until eleven o'clock. She brought a steamed bowl of chicken cake to the table and said to Lin Huaixuan: "I During this period of time here, you still have to be busy with work, and you can’t bear it if you are so busy every day.”

“Mom, it’s okay. Let’s do it.” Lin Huaixuan said.

During the day, when the granddaughter fell asleep, cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, and washed the diapers, Jiang Chaoying chatted with her daughter while making shoes for her granddaughter. Thinking of the past, she said with emotion: "If you don't compare, you don't know how good your man is. When I gave birth to your eldest brother and you, I was angry just thinking about it. Your father thought it was as easy for a woman to have a child as a hen laying eggs. He also thought the house smelled so bad that he refused to enter the house. Your father can help me a little. Happy death, mainly because at the time I thought men were all virtuous, and I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Now that I watched Huai Xuan, I realized that there are still men who love their wives like this. Now I feel that I suffered a lot of grievances at that time. I don't settle accounts with your father.

Of course, He Yunxiu hoped that his parents would be reconciled, and said: "Mom, how can you settle accounts later? "

Jiang Chaoying said: "Hey, I just said it casually, at this age, the old couple must support each other. "

She also said: "There is also Gu Tuan, who manages so many people under his command and is busy with work, but he spoils his daughter-in-law so much that everyone envies her. Married and pampered by her."

"Mom, pampered people are different, Lin Qiao is the most popular on the island, people from the camp, the shipyard, and the islanders are all willing to deal with her and talk to her Chatting will make me feel very relaxed and comfortable, and I am lucky to have such a sister-in-law.”

Jiang Chaoying took it for granted, and said: “With a good sister-in-law, you can save a lot of trouble. This bad luck has also come, marrying into the Lin family is your blessing." Chapter 45

During the time when the two little ones were toddling, Kong Kong was busy.

Lin Qiao was very relaxed. She removed Gu Lin's old long johns and made knee pads and elbow pads for the two children. She cleared away the tree stumps and benches in the open space in the yard, and let them grope for themselves. When she fell, she felt distressed, but as long as the fall didn't hurt too much, she just watched and didn't help. The two children saw that crying was useless, and the mother didn't help, so they could only stop crying and struggled to get up by themselves.

Kekong loves the two children very much, and volunteered to take on the task of teaching the two children to walk. As long as the children open their legs, it will follow beside them, ready to pick up the children when they stagger, but it is not strong enough, and sometimes it cannot catch them. The child will roll with it.

When the child fell down, he was more anxious than anyone else, so he ran over to help him up.

"Kong Kong is really a good brother." Lin Qiao said.

Kongkong can understand the master's praise, and when he gets the compliment, he will be more conscientious.

The two children are very motivated to practice walking, but they are not very obedient. One walks south and the other walks north. Their calves are not neat, but they move quickly. Master asks for help.

"I'll go after Nannan, Kongkong, you go after Beibei." Dudou said.

Kongkong understood what the little master said, and immediately jumped up and down to chase Beibei.

When Nannan and Beibei were tired from walking, Lin Qiao invited them back to the house to sit down, and gave each of them a portion of coconut juice bananas. The coconut juice was heated, and mashed bananas were added, which was extraordinarily fragrant, silky and smooth with a hint of flavor. sweetness.

Lin Qiao was very relieved. Although raising the child was hard work, in retrospect, it seemed that the child grew up in the blink of an eye.

Now that the two children can walk, she frees her hands. At least she doesn't have to hold or sit in a stroller all the time, and she can let them walk by themselves.

"Kong Kong, this is your favorite drink. It's specially made for you as a reward for you. They're all in your favor." Lin Qiao stroked the hair on the monkey's back and said.

Squeak, squeak, took a sip of the drink, jumped on the table, and jumped to the ground again, very happy.

When Gu Lin came back from the camp, Doudou couldn't wait to show his younger siblings the results of walking practice in the afternoon. Nannan and Beibei were more anxious than him. When the figure of their father appeared at the gate, they immediately walked towards Gu Lin with their calves upside down.

"Dad, my younger siblings can walk now." Doudou said loudly, he was very proud of his younger siblings.

"Dad, Dad."

Seeing Gu Lin being very affectionate, the two of them were like a competition to see who could scream louder and walk faster.

Gu Lin squatted down, opened his arms, and encouraged the two babies: "Nannan and Beibei are awesome, come quickly to Dad." The two babies threw themselves

into Gu Lin's arms almost at the same time, with proud smiles on their small faces, as if they were done. A remarkable thing happened.

Gu Lin picked up the two babies, kissed each of their smiling faces, and said, "Son and daughter are grown up." ——In the afternoon,

Luo

Yuying came to the medical office. Seeing her sweating, Lin Qiao asked: "Is there something wrong with Mrs. Luo?"

Luo Yuying said, "I'm fine. I'm not feeling sick. I just came to chat with you."

She usually doesn't come here to gossip during working hours, so she must have something to say. Lin Qiao pulled down the chair for her to sit down.

"Where's Dr. Xu?" Luo Yuying looked into the back room and asked.

"I went to see a doctor in the village." Lin Qiao said.

"Just in time, let me tell you, Cao Jinguo has come to the island again. She came back with the landing craft, and went directly to Gu Tuan as soon as she landed on the island." Luo Yuying said in a low voice.

"What did she tell Gu Tuan?" Lin Qiao asked calmly.

"Hey, I don't think you're in a hurry at all. I don't know what he said, and Lao Gao doesn't know either, but Lao Gao came to me when he saw her looking for Gu Tuan. We are worried that you will find out about it from others first. Son, in case you misunderstand, I will tell you first." Luo Yuying said.

Lin Qiao raised the corners of her lips: "Sister Luo, thank you, Commissar Gao, for helping me."

Luo Yuying said: "Hey, thank you. Aren't we both worried that Cao Jinwoo will cause trouble and cause your husband and wife to be unharmonious? Let me tell you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared." Lin Qiao asked

: "Isn't Cao Jinwo talking to Secretary Wu? Have they met?"

Luo Yuying told her about this, and they contacted by letter. Cao Jinguo's father is the chief of staff, but Wu Shuguang's parents are farmers, he is the eldest, and there are three brothers, all of whom go to school and do not work, and the rations they receive are small, plus his father has to take medicine all the year round, the chief secretary is a promising family member , in the future, maybe he will have to help his brother, and the whole family has to rely on him. Cao Jinguo's parents are not happy with such a family.

"We should still be talking now. When she came to the island, she didn't go to the director of the department, but went to Gu Tuan first. It seemed very unpleasant. Cao Jinguo stayed in Gu Tuan's office for a few minutes, and she came out with a straight face. I don't know where she went afterwards." I know." Luo Yuying said.

Lin Qiao said, "I'll ask him when I go back in the evening."

"Lao Gao and Cao Jingying's father have known each other for a long time, and it's easy to talk to each other. Lao Gao and I will gently remind her not to cause trouble." Luo Yuying explain.

After returning home in the evening, Lin Qiao pushed the bamboo cart to pick up the two children at the gate of the kindergarten. When they got to the gate, they saw Doudou after school.

"Mom, I'll go with you to pick up my little brothers and sisters." DouDou shouted loudly.

Lin Qiao asked Doudou what he had learned in school, and the two walked forward together, picked up their second and third children and went home. At the door of the house, they met Gu Lin who was off work on time.

"It's quite early today." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin hummed, and said, "I'll make dinner with you."

He looked down at his daughter and son in the cart, and the two little guys smiled when they saw their father, and called out to him, stretching out their arms together for him to hug. .

Don't underestimate the two of them, but they are scrambling to be the first. They all hope that their father will hug them first. If they are separated, some people will be happy and some will be disappointed.

"Which one do you hug first?" Lin Qiao said with a smile.

Gu Lin said: "Just two, easy to say."

He bent down, stretched out his arms, hugged the two little ones, kissed their little cheeks respectively and said: "The two little ones are very light, add one more Doudou is fine."

Doudou puffed out her small chest: "I won't join in."

The two babies and the three babies were hugged by their father from left to right, and they were all very happy.

A bamboo mat was placed in the yard, covered with old quilts used by Gu Lin. He put the two babies on the mat one after another. DouDou and KongKong watched from the side.

Dinner is simple, just eat seafood rice noodles, cook clams, scallops, squid, shrimp and other seafood together and put them on the rice noodles, and then put some fried peanuts, it is very delicious.

Lin Qiao had been waiting for him to mention the matter of Cao Jinguo's going to the island first, but Gu Lin seemed to think it was a trivial matter, so she didn't mention it at all.

She was surprised that she would be entangled in these things, which was obviously not the case before.

After the seafood was cooked and the rice noodles were put into the pot, Lin Qiao couldn't bear it and brought up the matter.

"I can probably guess what she came to see me for, but I didn't give her a chance to say it." Gu Lin said lightly, as expected, she didn't take it seriously at all.

Lin Qiao raised the corners of her lips: "I'm not here to talk to you."

Gu Lin was taking out the cooked lettuce. Hearing this, he paused and glanced up at his wife, looking from her tender lips. She slid up and said, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll bite you."

Lin Qiao pressed her lips and said, "Then what do you think she's looking for you?" "

She's talking to Wu Shuguang, her parents No, she hopes that Wu Shuguang can study in the military academy, and now when the military academy recruits students, she must want me to recommend Wu Shuguang." Gu Lin said.

Lin Qiao couldn't think of this at all, and she was a little surprised and said, "Didn't she tell you, you can even guess this, is it because your reasoning ability is strong, or you know her too well?"

She paused for a moment, and said with emphasis: "You not only understand her, but also care about her."

Gu Lin felt that his daughter-in-law's tone was sour, and she had never spoken with jealousy like this before, but this tone pleased him.

Gu Lin said: "Nonsense, if I don't even think about this, I can manage more than 2,000 people!"

Since he said so, Lin Qiao stopped thinking about it and said: "The rice noodles are cooked, let's eat."

" You don't need to put vinegar in this bowl, I can smell the vinegar smell on you from one or two meters away." Gu Lin said, obviously joking, but his tone was very serious.

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "You hate it. If I want to be jealous, I want to be jealous."

The dining table was set in the yard, and the husband and wife were in charge of one child. They ate and fed the baby by themselves. Gu Lin carried them to the mat again.

The next night, not long after dinner, taking advantage of the coolness, Gu Lin ordered wormwood to smoke mosquitoes. The whole family was in the yard, and an old bamboo mat and mattress were spread on the floor for the two little ones to crawl on. play.

Seeing her younger brother trying to stand up, Doudou called Lin Qiao: "Mom, does Nan Nan want to learn to walk?"

Lin Qiao looked at the three children and said, "It's time for them both to learn to walk."

Doudou sat next to Nan Nan , Encouraging him: "Help me to stand up."

Nan Nan probably understood, her little hand grabbed her elder brother's arm, wobbled and fell down as soon as she stood up, "Be careful," Dou Dou hurriedly reached out to pick him up, two fleshy Huhu baby hugged into a ball.

"Doudou really looks like a big brother. The second baby and the third baby are really happy to have a big brother like Doudou." Lin Qiao said.

The couple were watching from the side of the bamboo mat. After Nannan tried three times and failed, Doudou was encouraging him. You, Cao Jinguo, came with Political Commissar Gao and Luo Yuying.

"Gu Tuan, Company Commander Huang said to come to your house to have a look." Political Commissar Gao said.

Gu Lin knew at a glance that it was Cao Jinguo who specially called the Gao political commissar and his wife.

Lin Qiao brought a few benches and greeted them, "Sit down."

Cao Jingying had dinner at the house of Political Commissar Gao. After dinner, she said she would come to see Gu Lin. atmosphere, brought some coconut cakes specially, and said, "For the children."

Lin Qiao took it, and said, "I'll

feed them three. " Take a sip and watch them swallow it.

All three of them sat down, and Cao Jinwoo said, "I have something I want to tell Gu Tuan, but he won't let me talk, so I can only talk at home."

Gu Lin said, "The political commissar is here too, what do you say "

Cao Jinwomen is very straightforward, and she doesn't speak obliquely, and naturally she doesn't pick up nice words. Finally, she had the opportunity, and she went straight to the point and said: "Your Qiongya Island has an indicator for admission to the military academy. I think this indicator should be Give it to Wu Shuguang."

Gu Lin frowned slightly, and said, "That's what you think! You are here to ask me to open the back door. I have never seen someone so confident in asking someone to open the back door." Cao Jinguo said boldly: "That's

because Wu Shuguang is excellent, I think he is qualified enough to be recommended, so I came to talk to you."

Gu Lin said patiently: "If you know about our recommended situation here, you will not say this, Lao Gao, you and her Say."

Gao Xiangqian said: "We are stationed here on a remote island, and the superiors will recommend two places to study in the military academy every year. It must be better than the troops that don't even have places, but the two places are not many. There are only four places in two years. There are a lot of outstanding cadres and soldiers in the camp, so we are very cautious in recommending each time."

Cao Jinguo has no patience at all: "You haven't recommended Wu Shuguang for two years, I think it's unfair. You know that the island lacks Seafood with less oil and less seasoning is unpalatable, and many soldiers are not used to it. Wu Shuguang has been working hard to improve the food in the camp. He must be credited for the soldiers to eat enough and provide combat power." Gu Lin interrupted her directly: "We don't need to

follow You explain, you listen to what Political Commissar Gao has to say, and the conversation ends here if you don’t want to hear it.”

Cao Jinguo shut her mouth obediently, and said: "Okay, I won't talk, you can talk."

Political commissar Gao said: "The military students we recommend every year are very good. Take the two people recommended this year as an example. One is the deputy battalion commander. He knows how to repair ships, and he will definitely return to the army after graduation; a squad leader, the islander’s ship disappeared, he searched at sea for two days, and brought back seven or eight islanders safely, because of his meritorious service, he was recommended. Compared with these three officers, they are a little inferior."

After the senior political commissar finished speaking, Gu Lin told her bluntly: "It is useless for you to come to us, except that the opinions of me and the senior political commissar have certain weight, and everyone votes for the recommended quota. Taking weight, every recommender can be convincing."

"What kind of conditions can you meet to be recommended to a military academy?" Cao Jinguo asked.

"There is no unified standard." Gu Lin said without any selfishness.

Cao Jinwo asked for help from Political Commissar Gao with her eyes, and Political Commissar Gao spread her hands: "It's true, we only pick from the best." Cao Zhiwo's lips moved, the two

families obviously have a long-term friendship, she and Gu Lin have known each other for many years Besides, Wu Shuguang is very good herself, it's not too much for her to ask for favors, but Gu Lin doesn't show any affection at all.

"Gu Tuan, since there are no criteria for judging, there is nothing wrong with giving praise. You don't have to be so stern and selfless." Cao Jinguo made the last struggle.

Gu Lin said: "You want me to pretend to be a public servant for my own benefit, so you come to the island to find us your father, do you know?"

Cao Jinguo stopped talking.

She wanted to ask the two of them to arrange important and easy-to-make meritorious tasks for Wu Shuguang, so that he would have the opportunity to show his face, but seeing Gu Lin's face was cold, she didn't dare to say these words after all.

She made some assumptions, if Gu Lin came to ask her to open the back door, no matter who it was, even if he came to plead for Lin Qiao, she would not hesitate to try her best to make things easier.

However, this is only her unilateral assumption, Gu Lin is fair and selfless, treats everyone the same as herself, and will never come to her for personal affairs.

She was the one who went to the doctor in a hurry, so she shouldn't have made it difficult for Gu Lin, so she said, "Gu Tuan , Commissar Gao, this matter is because of my low awareness. After chatting, Political Commissar Gao said: "Let's go, go to my house and stay for a while, Lieutenant Huang." "

Okay." Cao Jinguo said.

Luo Yuying didn't expect Cao Jinguo to come to the back door, she was so righteous, afraid that Gu Lin would turn against her directly, she quickly eased the atmosphere and said: "It's getting late, I think the two children are sleepy, let's go first, and come to visit another day."

She hurriedly took Cao Jinguo away, and returned to her home before saying: "Women, you know that neither Gu Tuan nor Lao Gao will open the back door, so don't say that again in the future." Cao Jinguo agreed very happily: "Sister-in-

law , I’m not sensible, so I won’t say any more.”

Luo Yuying asked again: “I know Wu Shuguang is a young man with good spirit and good character, and the children in the camp usually like him like gold beans and steel coins, but you and your sister-in-law Tell me, what do you think of him? What do you like about him? It’s worth your trip to the island to ask for pointers.”

In Luo Yuying’s eyes, Cao Jinying is very masculine as a woman, and Wu Shuguang as her The man still looks fair and refined in the army, and the two don't seem to get along well.

Cao Jinwoo thought about it seriously and said, "Sister-in-law, when I first came to the island, I saw Lin Qiao and thought she was really outstanding. I never thought that there would be such an outstanding woman. Only then did I realize that maybe a man When looking for a wife, I always look for someone who is good-looking, virtuous, and able to manage the house. Women like me who are originally like men will not be popular. At that time, I was hit and I didn’t have any self-confidence. Only Wu Shuguang is different from others , he appreciates me, I can see that he appreciates me sincerely, he is the only one, sister-in-law, can you understand my mentality?"

Luo Yuying said: "Don't think my sister-in-law is not educated, but I understand, As long as you have a clear idea, both of you can fall in love with each other, just don't make jokes about who you are." After the

three of them left, Lin Qiao took the second baby and the third baby into the room to sleep, and soon the two little guys fell asleep one after another.

Now DouDou can read by himself without having to read to him. After taking a bath and reading a little book for a while, DouDou also falls asleep.

Lin Qiao jokingly said: "Your admirer has moved on, how do you feel? Do you feel a little bit regretful and a little bit lost."

Gu Lin said: "What the hell? Don't embarrass me You cultural talents think this way, I don't feel it at all, I wish she would stop bothering me."

Lin Qiao felt that the disobedience in her heart had finally disappeared, and she said, "Then you are begging for help from other men. You deliberately refused."

She was joking, but Gu Lin was very serious. He looked at his daughter-in-law firmly and paused every word: "Lin Qiao, what are you talking about? Do you think so?

" Lin Qiao moved to her side step by step, and her tall body approached without any muddle. Lin Qiao stretched out her hand to push him, and said with a smile, "I'm just joking." Gu Lin stretched out his big hand and quickly grabbed her hand, looking down at

her smiling eyes , and said, "Then let me hear if you are joking again."

Feeling oppressed, Lin Qiao leaned back, was encircled by his long arms, and locked tightly in his arms, she said, "I don't dare to joke anymore.

" Lin's warm breath fell on her forehead, and she said in a deep voice, "Why don't you dare!"

Lin Qiao said seriously, "But I think it's pretty good, I don't want other women to admire you, but I just love you." Enough."

Gu Lin got two messages from her words, one is that his wife likes him, and the other is that she will be jealous, the corners of his lips could not stop rising, and said: "You have always been generous, not at all. Do you mind, and said that means I am excellent, why have I become stingy."

He felt that his daughter-in-law must have cared more about him and loved him more than before.

It's better for his wife to mind.

Lin Qiao smiled at the corner of her lips: "I'm stingy. I used to think that people admired you because of your excellence. Now I wish that other women would not even look at you."

"What do other women have to do with me? Do you admire me? You said it yourself. Do you care about me more than before?" Gu Lin happily pressed her into his arms and hugged her tightly .

"Same as before, I have admired you from the very beginning." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin's chin rested on her forehead: "I didn't feel it. The three children are all asleep. It's still early, so you should admire me tonight."

Lin Qiao suppressed a smile: "I knew you would go there soon." This way."

"Let's go to another room to make out for a while, after you have two little ones, you will focus on taking care of the baby, and the number of times of making out will be reduced." Gu Lin said.

"Okay, I will make it up to you tonight." Lin Qiao stretched out her hand and stroked his elastic but stiff waistline and said.

Gu Lin suddenly felt full of energy.

"I'm going to see Kong Kong to see the baby." He said.

He let go of Lin Qiao and went to call Kong Kong in Dou Dou's house. The little macaque was still awake, Gu Lin called its name, Kong Kong turned his head and jumped off the window sill, ran to his side, and jumped up.

Gu Lin reached out to catch it, picked it up and said, "We have something to do, look at the two babies."

Kong Kong is smart and well-behaved, he understood, and he squeaked twice to express his agreement. Immediately went to drag the chair, Gu Lin helped it put the chair next to the bed, Kong Kong immediately climbed onto the chair, staring at the bed intently.

The two children will not fall off the bed if they are free.

Gu Lin rewarded Kong Kong with two pieces of fruit candy, and took Lin Qiao's hand to another bedroom.

Kongkong is reluctant to eat the candy right away, and will share one with Doudou tomorrow. He holds the candy tightly in his hand, sits on the chair, and looks after the child dutifully.
