Chapter 678: A mysterious girl arrived

Gu Xiaoxia was really hungry.

When Li Long went to boil chicken soup, she breastfed the two children.

But she could clearly feel that her milk supply was insufficient, and the two children weren't full.

The hospital didn't have a very good way either.

Liang Yumei watched and was anxious. The mother next door had just enough milk and couldn't spare any.

When Li Long brought the chicken soup and Li Xia came over, Liang Yumei was anxious.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Li Long heard about this, looked at his anxious sister-in-law and wife, and said with a smile:

"I got a prescription from Uncle Liang, it's for milk production. It's a bit late today, they've already finished work there. I'll go buy the medicine and boil it first thing tomorrow morning. Drinking it for a day or two should be fine."

"Then what should we do if Mingming and Haohao are hungry in these two days?" Gu Xiaoxia was still worried.

"Don't worry, I've already bought milk powder, and the baby bottles are ready. Let's feed them milk powder for two days first, and then when your milk supply is sufficient, we'll stop the milk powder."

Now in Shicheng, Garden milk powder was very famous. Milk powder in this era was naturally made of real materials, so there was no need to worry. Garden milk had been drunk by many people even forty years later; it was produced locally in Shicheng, so it was reliable.

While they were talking, Li Xia served chicken soup to Gu Xiaoxia, saying while serving:

"This old hen was bought by Without Xiao Long from the old street, boiled for two hours. Ginseng was added to the soup, and a little bit of salt was put in—I said I wasn't allowed to put salt when I was in confinement, but Without Xiao Long said it was fine to put a little bit."

Serving the chicken soup to Gu Xiaoxia, Li Xia looked at her sister-in-law and said with heartache:

"You used to have a round face, looking so festive. Now it's good, as soon as the two babies were born, your chin has become pointed..."

She turned her head to look at Liang Yumei and said:

"With the sister-in-law here, I'm relieved. The sister-in-law will definitely be able to take good care of you."

Liang Yumei smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Xiaoxia has a good foundation, she'll be fine after resting for a few days."

This side was full of caring words, while on the other side, Qin Liben's wife, He Yulian, felt very blocked in her heart. Look at others, the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law's sister all came to take care of her, while on her side, there was only her husband. What was this?

Before giving birth, He Yulian had a good relationship with her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law came from her hometown, and although she was also a city person, she had many things to do.

Fortunately, He Yulian herself also had a job. She was a teacher, and spent most of the day at her workplace, so she had little contact with her mother-in-law.

When she came home from work, although her mother-in-law didn't have many good looks, she would cook the food. When she was pregnant and had some special cravings, her mother-in-law would also try her best to satisfy them.

Previously, hearing her mother-in-law say she had found someone to check and that she was pregnant with a boy, He Yulian was also quite happy. After all, whether it was her husband or her mother-in-law, they clearly favored boys over girls, which was quite normal.

Although the country had been promoting that boys and girls were the same, the idea of favoring boys over girls could not be eradicated in the eyes of some people.

It was just that she didn't expect she would give birth to a girl, and now it had become like this.

This wasn't her fault, right?

He Yulian had graduated from high school and knew that whether it was a boy or a girl was not something she could decide. She certainly wouldn't attribute this to herself.

She was not one of those little wives who could be manipulated by others. If it really didn't work, she would go back to her maiden home. Her parents were veterans of the Corps, and she was a second-generation Corps member, so she wouldn't be bullied here.

Thinking about it, Qin Liben hadn't notified his parents that she had given birth yet. He Yulian's parents were at the headquarters of a certain regiment of the 8th Agricultural Division and were still working, so it wasn't easy for them to come.

Thinking about it made her angry. She simply hit Qin Liben and said:

"Still not going to notify my parents? I've already given birth, how long do you want to hide it?"

Qin Liben had been busy just now, preparing food for his wife, holding the child, preparing diapers, washing bowls...

Just when he finally planned to rest for a while, his wife got so angry that he couldn't help but feel a bit angry too. However, since he worked in a government agency, he had some composure, so he suppressed his anger and said:

"Then you rest first, I'll go to the field headquarters now to call and notify them."

After saying this, Qin Liben left.

This departure lasted two hours, and he didn't return even when it was pitch black.

He Yulian was so hungry she was about to cry, and it was inconvenient for her to go to the toilet.

It was Liang Yumei who couldn't stand it, helped her buy food in the hospital cafeteria, and helped her to the toilet.

Li Long was taking care of Gu Xiaoxia feeding the two children. No matter how Li Long looked at it, his two children were better looking than the one next door, at least there wasn't so much wrinkled skin on their faces.

It should be because their nutrition was keeping up.

Both children were fed breast milk first and then milk powder. Although they were slightly dissatisfied when drinking milk powder, at least they were full.

That night, Liang Yumei accompanied her in the ward, and Li Long slept in the Jeep. He was mainly worried that if Gu Xiaoxia had any situation, he could handle it in time.

After Gu Xiaoxia finished drinking the ginseng chicken soup, her spirit was clearly better. Li Long decided to do just that, boiling some chicken soup every day. He planned to buy a few more chickens tomorrow and put them at his sister's place, and keep the remaining wild ginseng there too.

When boiling chicken soup, Li Long explicitly told his sister Li Xia that half should be boiled for Gu Xiaoxia to drink, and the adults would eat the chicken meat, and half should be made for Hongqin to eat, but Hongqin couldn't eat the one with ginseng.

Li Xia knew that her eldest brother's father-in-law was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and Li Long had lived with her eldest brother since he was a child, so she believed this.

The next day after breakfast, Li Long cooperated with Gu Xiaoxia to feed the two children. At this time, Li Xia brought Hongqin over to deliver chicken soup. Since there were people here, Li Long drove to buy Chinese medicinal materials.

Qin Liben returned quite late last night. Early this morning, He Yulian's parents rushed over. Before her parents arrived, He Yulian scolded Qin Liben, and then her milk supply became insufficient.

Li Long guessed it was a bit of depression or anxiety, and heard that it would affect milk production.

Naturally, he couldn't manage so much about other people's affairs. He first went to the medicinal materials company to buy medicinal materials like rice paper plant, and then bought a clay pot for boiling medicine on the old street, preparing to go to his sister's house to boil the medicine.

At this time, Li Long felt that it was actually quite good for him to buy a house or courtyard in Shicheng. At least he wouldn't have to trouble others.

He planned to wait until the children were discharged, and then take time to come over and take a look—as for where to buy, naturally, it would be closer to the hospital and the market.

After all, he couldn't live in Shicheng often in the future, it would just be a place to stay. It could be seen that his father liked to sell fish in Shicheng, but didn't like going to his sister's house. Then he would buy a courtyard or house here, so his father could rest after selling fish.

After Li Long bought the clay pot, he didn't go to Li Xia's house immediately, but went to the post and telecommunications bureau first.

At this time, the post and telecommunications hadn't been separated, and Li Long could make a phone call to the team here.

Xu Chengjun's wife, Ma Hongmei, answered the phone. Li Long didn't have time to wait for his eldest brother Li Jianguo to come over, so he asked Ma Hongmei to relay to his eldest brother that Gu Xiaoxia had given birth to two sons, and asked her to tell the family.

"What? You said Xiaoxia gave birth to two sons? Twins? Are they both fine?" Ma Hongmei was also startled and exclaimed, "Amazing, amazing, you two are too amazing!"

"I still have to be busy, just tell them, I have to hurry and get busy here."

Li Long didn't say so much. After letting Ma Hongmei hear clearly what was happening, he hurriedly hung up the phone, paid the money, and left.

Boiling medicine would take a while, and he didn't have time to wait here.

After Ma Hongmei hung up the phone, Xu Chengjun, who was in the vegetable garden, walked out and asked:

"Whose phone call made you shout so loudly? What twins?"

"Li Long called! Said Gu Xiaoxia gave birth to twins, two sons! Really amazing!"

Ma Hongmei still had an envious expression on her face.

The entire 4th team currently didn't have anyone who had given birth to twins, so Li Long's case could be considered unique.

"What?" Xu Chengjun was also very surprised, "Gave birth to two? That kid is amazing!"

Gu Xiaoxia rarely appeared in the team, so everyone didn't know the situation clearly.

At the moment, everyone didn't have a clear concept that giving birth to twins belonged to genetics, so Xu Chengjun only knew Li Long was amazing.

"Li Long asked to hurry and tell his brother's family."

"Alright, alright, I'll ride my bike to tell them now, this is a big event." Xu Chengjun immediately put on his shirt, pushed his bicycle, and walked out, "You stay at home."

After Xu Chengjun went out on his bicycle, how could Ma Hongmei stay at home? She went straight to the big elm tree at the head of the village.

Several women under the big elm tree were chatting about gossip, each with work in their hands. Seeing Ma Hongmei come over, they greeted her one after another.

After all, Ma Hongmei was the team leader's wife, so the due respect was still there.

"Do you know?" Ma Hongmei couldn't wait to say what she wanted to say, "Gu Xiaoxia has given birth!"

"Given birth? Given birth to what?" Someone asked immediately.

"That's a funny thing to say, what she gave birth to is definitely a baby." Another one said with a smile, "What else could she give birth to?"

"I didn't mean to ask if it was a boy or a girl!" The one who spoke first hurriedly defended herself.

"Heh, what she gave birth to is not ordinary!" Ma Hongmei grasped the initiative of the gossip and said with a somewhat mysterious smile, "You absolutely can't imagine!"

"What she gave birth to is either a boy or a girl, what's there to not imagine?" Ma Chunhong couldn't help but say.

"Wouldn't it be a stillbirth?" Someone couldn't help but say.

"That's impossible, right?"

Actually, there were stillbirths in the team, and there were also those who didn't survive after birth. These were all things from the past, but these people were good at spreading gossip, and for things from a long time ago, most of them also knew some.

Seeing that no one guessed right, and the more they guessed, the more outrageous it became, Ma Hongmei hurriedly said: "No, no, no, you can't imagine, actually, Gu Xiaoxia gave birth to twins!"

"What? Twins? Really?"

This time, one by one, they had surprised expressions, exactly the same as Ma Hongmei's when she first heard it.

Ma Hongmei looked at everyone's expressions, and her heart couldn't be more refreshed:

"It's twins, and they are two sons, these two are really amazing!"

These aunts and sisters-in-law started talking all at once.

They all said that someone's relative also gave birth to twins, and when they said it, it was still quite sour.

But actually, they were all quite envious, after all, they hadn't given birth to such things themselves.

"Then should we go and see?" Someone suddenly said, and the tree was quiet all of a sudden.

"Should we see?" An older one said, "But should we wait until she comes back and is in confinement to see?"

"Then his family doesn't know yet, right?" Another one asked.

(Content omitted)

"Mingwa's father went to tell Li Long's brother. Li Long didn't say when he would be back when he called." Ma Hongmei said.

"You didn't know to ask?" Someone asked.

This topic suddenly quieted down.

"Then the Li family might have to go to Shicheng to see today or tomorrow, right?" Someone guessed.

This immediately aroused the thoughts of many people.

When Xu Chengjun arrived at the Li family, Li Jianguo and Li Qing Xia were both busy in the courtyard.

They hadn't gone to work in the fields these past two days, they were all waiting for news.

Seeing Xu Chengjun push his bicycle into the courtyard, Li Jianguo already had a premonition in his heart.

"Xiaoxia gave birth to two, twins, two sons!" Xu Chengjun didn't talk nonsense and said with a smile, "Old Li, your family has great joy!"

"What? Two sons?" Li Qing Xia and Du Chunfang were the most excited when they heard this. Du Chunfang even thought she had heard wrong.

"Two sons?" Li Jianguo was slightly calmer, "Are they both safe?"

"Should be safe. Mingwa's mother answered the phone, Without Xiao Long called, said to tell you, they are still busy over there." Xu Chengjun also had some complaints about his own wife, she didn't ask anything clearly.

He didn't complain about Li Long, Li Long must be busy as a mess over there, it was already good that he had time to make a phone call back. Two sons, this is not ordinary!

He was also envious.

After Xu Chengjun notified the news, he went back.

Li Qing Xia and Du Chunfang looked at Li Jianguo.

Looking at that expression, it was looking at his thoughts.

"Let's go, tidy up now, go to the hospital and see." Li Jianguo made a prompt decision, "It's not far, when Juan and Qiangqiang rush back in the afternoon, we'll already be back."

"Right, then tidy up, drive the tractor!" Li Qing Xia also felt this was better.

He had two more grandsons, shouldn't he hurry over and see?

Li Jianguo didn't start the tractor first, he went to the opposite door to find Lu Lu Dasao and asked her to help watch his home.

As soon as Lu Lu Dasao heard that Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia had given birth to twins, she immediately agreed, saying she would definitely help Li Jianguo and the others watch the home well.

"Then aren't we boiling eggs?" Du Chunfang asked after getting on the car.

When someone else is in confinement, you send eggs, and the host also has to return eggs.

"Wait until we come back." Li Jianguo said, "Boiling now, how can there be time? Besides, she's hospitalized in Shicheng, wait until she comes out and goes home for confinement, won't it take a few days? This gave birth to twins, how can she not rest well for a period of time."

Li Jianguo started the tractor, pulled the old couple, and headed toward Shicheng.

When they were almost at the county, Li Jianguo saw a girl sitting on a tractor, and that figure looked especially like Gu Xiaoxia.

That girl noticed something, and when the two tractors crossed, she looked over, and that face also looked especially like Gu Xiaoxia.

It was just that the tractor wasn't driving slowly, and it flashed by. Li Jianguo was in a hurry to rush to Shicheng, so he put this matter aside.

When he arrived at the county, he turned toward Gu Bo Yuan's agricultural materials store. Seeing the agricultural materials store had its door open, he knew that Gu Bo Yuan indeed didn't know about this matter, so he parked the tractor at the door.

Li Jianguo didn't get off the car, he just sat on the tractor and shouted inside:

"Old Gu, Xiaoxia gave birth, gave birth to twins, are you going?"

"What?" Gu Bo Yuan was calculating money for a customer. Hearing Li Jianguo's shout, he ran out and saw, and immediately understood, "Twins?"

"Right." Li Jianguo pointed to the car bucket. Gu Bo Yuan immediately understood. He entered the door and drove those customers away: "My baby gave birth to a child, I'm going to see now, sorry, not selling today."

Saying this, he stuffed the money back into that person's hand, didn't care about the pesticide that person was holding, and after driving the person out and locking the door, he jumped over the water ditch at the door, nimbly climbed onto the tractor's fender, and patted Li Jianguo:

"Still not hurrying to go?"

Li Jianguo laughed and started the tractor, heading toward Shicheng.

The original car ride of more than an hour was driven by Li Jianguo to the entrance of Shicheng Second Hospital in less than an hour.

The tractor wasn't allowed in, so he parked the tractor on the side of the road, and after turning off the engine, he carried the crank and led the people inside.

At this time, Li Long had just finished boiling the medicine and brought it to the ward. According to the prescription, this medicine only needed to be drunk twice a day. He directly boiled the two doses at once and gave them to Gu Xiaoxia to drink in two separate times.

Although the medicine was very hard to drink, Li Long thoughtfully prepared sugar. Gu Xiaoxia also knew this was for her own good and for the children's good, so she bit the bullet and drank it.

Just after drinking the medicine and preparing to say something with a bitter face, a whole family burst in.

The ward immediately couldn't hold them.

By rights, men shouldn't be seen during confinement. However, they were in a hospital ward, and the hospital didn't have so many rules. As soon as Gu Bo Yuan saw his daughter had lost so much weight, he felt heartache.

Although a middle-aged old man wouldn't say it, he really felt bad in his heart.

Looking at the two beautiful little grandsons, his mood wasn't considered good.

On the contrary, Li Qing Xia and Du Chunfang looked at the two healthy children, and their hearts couldn't be more beautiful.

Li Qing Xia had always felt that in the next generation, among Li Jianguo and the others' children, there were a bit too few boys, only Li Qiang.

Now it was good, two were added at once. Even if there were no more in the future, these three were not few.

He was now even more determined in his resolution to return to his hometown in the autumn.

How could he go back and talk in front of the ancestral grave, this branch had already been considered to have branched out and spread leaves in Northern Tianshan.

Li Jianguo was the most stable one, first asking about Gu Xiaoxia's situation, and then asking about the children's situation.

Knowing that Gu Xiaoxia had to stay here for a period of time, he said to Liang Yumei:

"Then you just stay here all the time. There's nothing at home, everything is fine."

"Then do you need to say that?" Liang Yumei glared at him, and Li Jianguo laughed.

Good thing, good thing. When he went out, he almost tripped, and his heart was also exceptionally happy.

After all, he had raised Li Long as a son, and at this time, he also had the feeling that his family's son had grown up.

Once there were many people here, the nurses came over to talk.

It was mainly because they were worried that too many people would have an impact on the newborns, so Li Jianguo and the others didn't stay long.

Gu Bo Yuan was somewhat reluctant, but Li Long was here, Liang Yumei was here, and he also knew that his daughter was drinking ginseng chicken soup and Chinese medicine for milk production every day.

Even if he stayed here, it was impossible to take better care of her.

At the moment, he could only feel guilty that his daughter didn't have her own mother by her side.

However, looking at Liang Yumei's care for Gu Xiaoxia, he also knew that the other party couldn't be anything but dedicated.

It could only be like this.

Li Jianguo and the others didn't stay long here. After handing over the few chickens and a basket of raw eggs they brought to Li Long, they drove the tractor back.

No matter what, the ones raised at home were always better than the ones outside.

This was everyone's common view.

On this day, the entire 4th team knew that Gu Xiaoxia had given birth to twins.

And the girl who had crossed paths with Li Jianguo also came to the team.

However, unlike at that time, she put on a mask. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 679 =====
