Chapter 680: Becoming a father, a novel feeling

He Yulian watched Gu Xiaoxia leave, really full of envy.

She and Gu Xiaoxia even exchanged addresses, planning to communicate in the future, write letters, and exchange experiences on being a mother.

In this era, don't look at the 15-kilometer distance between Maxian and Shicheng, it was impossible to run back and forth from time to time—of course, Li Long was an exception.

People with jobs had to take care of their work. At this time, they only rested one day a week. After resting, women usually had to wash and organize everything that needed to be washed and organized at home, so they were very busy.

She was originally supposed to be discharged, but after being angered by her husband's family, her milk supply stopped, her mood was also not good, and the child had jaundice, so she could only stay for another period of time.

Now what she envied was that Gu Xiaoxia could not only be discharged healthily, but the children were also healthy, and her husband even drove a small car over to pick her up.

The small car was enclosed on all four sides, sitting inside wouldn't be exposed to the wind, and wouldn't suffer in the future.

Thinking about herself going back, let alone a small car, there wouldn't even be a tractor, and she could only go back on a bicycle. He Yulian felt that people really couldn't be compared with people.

Although Gu Xiaoxia was from the county, although her husband was a farmer, the life she lived really couldn't be compared.

Li Long really didn't know that Qin Liben's wife would think so much. At this time, he was busy.

Giving birth to a child involved many discharge procedures. Although it was different from the previous life and wouldn't be that busy, he still had to run around.

Fortunately, he had inquired during his free time during this period, and finally finished the procedures.

The things brought were all packed into the trunk of the Jeep. Saying goodbye to the doctors and nurses, Li Long also quietly handed them red envelopes.

Before leaving, he also said goodbye to Qin Liben.

Because He Yulian's milk supply had also stopped, Li Long gave the milk-producing prescription to Qin Liben. Qin Liben knew this prescription was useful, and since the other party's two sons were now being breastfed, he was naturally very grateful.

As for Qin Liben patting his chest and saying that Li Long must find him next time he came to Shicheng, Li Long really didn't care.

He was now anxious to hurry back to the big courtyard.

Although the doctors and nurses in the hospital were very dedicated, doing anything was inconvenient.

Whether it was the big courtyard in the county or the big courtyard of the 4th team, Li Long wanted to do something, at least the things were complete, which was much more convenient than in the hospital.

The Jeep drove toward the big courtyard in the county. On the way, Liang Yumei asked Gu Xiaoxia if she wanted to go to the team or the county. Gu Xiaoxia thought about it, meaning she wanted to stay in the county big courtyard first, and then go back to the village after the confinement.

Liang Yumei didn't feel anything. Living on either side had its own benefits. She was going to take care of Gu Xiaoxia until the confinement was over anyway.

Walking all the way, Liang Yumei was also saying that the conditions were really good now, not like when she gave birth to Li Juan and Li Qiang. At that time, it was difficult to go to the township health center, and most of them were born at home.

And at that time, there were no medical conditions like now, and the family conditions were not good, so she didn't have a good confinement after birth, and it was difficult to eat something good.

Now it was different.

When Liang Yumei said this, she still looked at Li Long who was driving in front. If it weren't for her brother-in-law's changes in the past two years, being promising, the family conditions couldn't be like this now.

"If Dad knew we were back, he would probably catch crucian carp and send them to the county every day." Liang Yumei said with a smile, "You didn't see how happy he was that day."

Gu Xiaoxia, while changing diapers for the children, said:

"I see everyone is happy, and these Mingming and Haohao are also obedient, it's just that they are too good at pooping and peeing."

Liang Yumei helped Gu Xiaoxia change the diapers, and while changing, said with a smile:

"How can they not poop much? Eating so much every day, growing fast too..."

Li Long had already smelled the smell of baby urine and poop.

Although he had gotten used to smelling it these past few days, he still felt it didn't smell good—this had nothing to do with loving his sons, stinky was stinky, he wouldn't dislike it, but he couldn't change the fact that that thing was stinky.

However, even if it was stinky, he couldn't open the window. After all, one couldn't be exposed to the wind during confinement, so he tried his best to drive the car steadily. Fortunately, his eyesight was good, and he could see the pits and stones on the road—the Wuyi Highway was generally relatively flat.

When the Jeep drove to the big courtyard, Li Long was somewhat surprised to find that the big gate was directly opened.

Sister Yang opened the two big gates and welcomed the car in with a smile.

The two roe deer and the little black dog also waited obediently on both sides. The little black dog kept jumping there, as if it knew there were more people in the family.

After the Jeep stopped, Sister Yang hurriedly closed the big gate, and then went to open the door of the main room—she only had the outer door.

After Li Long got off the car, he first went to open the door of the bedroom. Just when he was about to come over to support Gu Xiaoxia to get off, Liang Yumei had already wrapped a headscarf for Gu Xiaoxia and supported her to get off.

Sister Yang saw the children for the first time, and her eyes were fixed on them, her expression surprised and carrying a bit of relief.

Li Long and Sister Yang each held a child and entered the main bedroom.

Gu Xiaoxia sat on the edge of the bed. After Li Long and Sister Yang put the children down, she asked with a bitter smile:

"For the next few days, can I only stay in the room?"

"Endure it." Liang Yumei said with a smile, "Fortunately, it's such a big room, and you stayed in the hospital for almost ten days, it won't be a month before the confinement is over."

Gu Xiaoxia could only accept her fate.

Fortunately, everyone was like this, thinking about it, it was just three weeks, just endure it and it would pass.

Sister Yang helped move the things down, and then went to soak the diapers that hadn't been washed, preparing to wash them.

Lunch was also cooked by Sister Yang. There were two stoves in the house, and she cooked two portions of food. The chicken soup was freshly slaughtered and boiled. According to Li Long's statement, a little less salt could be put in. After all, it was impossible not to give Gu Xiaoxia any salt. Although Gu Xiaoxia's milk supply was enough, Sister Yang still prepared milk powder.

The rice and stir-fried vegetables made for Li Long and Liang Yumei. Han Fang was surprised to see the Jeep when she came back from school, but Sister Yang didn't let her see the children, which made Han Fang very depressed.

Girls couldn't enter the confinement room. I don't know if it was because of fear of bringing bacteria in or fear of girls having psychological shadows.

What surprised Liang Yumei was that for the next few days, Sister Yang took over all the work of taking care of Gu Xiaoxia. She not only cooked, took care of Gu Xiaoxia, but also took care of washing diapers, boiling water, and other work.

And she was busy in an orderly manner.

Here, she herself felt a bit like an idler or an outsider.

Although Liang Yumei felt slightly uncomfortable, what was more gratifying was that her brother-in-law and sister-in-law didn't misjudge the person, this Yang Xiulan was really not bad.

A week after Li Long and the others returned, Liang Yumei was sent back to the 4th team by Li Long. On one hand, there was indeed a lot of work at home, and on the other hand, she really didn't need to take care of things here.

With Li Long here, and Sister Yang here, Gu Xiaoxia had basically recovered, and life had stabilized.

Although Liang Yumei tried her best to stay until Gu Xiaoxia's confinement was over, she was finally persuaded back to the team.

(Content omitted)

There was indeed a lot of work at home. The wheat was about to be harvested, the field had to be threshed, the corn had tasseled, the melon had flowered... and so on.

After Li Long sent Liang Yumei back to the team, he learned that a girl who looked very much like Gu Xiaoxia had come, and had even been to the Gu family, and it was Qiangqiang who led her.

He immediately thought of the matter that Gu Bo Yuan had once told him—Gu Xiaoxia had a twin sister who went missing.

Gu Bo Yuan ran to Northern Tianshan, his wife was implicated, and finally went missing, and along with her went Gu Xiaoxia's twin sister.

Could this girl be her sister?

Li Long just had a flash of thought, and then drove the fish caught by his father back to the county.

He still had to handle the household registration procedures for the children.

Because Li Long decided to keep the household registration in the team, and Gu Xiaoxia's household registration had already entered the city, Li Long finally decided to put the children's household registration in the team.

Thus, the Li family would also be allocated ten mu of ration land at the end of the year.

Although the children's household registration was in the team, they would definitely go to school in the county—although the family didn't understand why Li Long wanted to put the children's household registration in the team, Li Long's decisions in the past two or three years were basically not wrong, so they didn't object.

Anyway, they couldn't afford not to raise them. They used to envy city people for commodity grain, but now living in the team was no worse or even better than city people, so there was no need to squeeze in.

Anyway, Gu Xiaoxia was in the Education Bureau, and it wouldn't be a problem for the two children to go to school in the city in the future.

Li Long returned from the team and first went to Gu Bo Yuan's store, and told him about the matter circulating in the team.

"What did you say?" Gu Bo Yuan was originally sitting inside the counter. Hearing Li Long's words, he stood up abruptly, "Really? Really went to my courtyard?"

"Qiangqiang led her there, how could that be fake?" Li Long said, "Uncle Gu, do you think that person is..."

"Definitely!" Gu Bo Yuan said excitedly, "The second day I came back, a girl was looking at this side opposite, and the old Sun man next door said she looked like Xiaoxia, I didn't care, later I was guessing..."

Now he was basically certain that his other daughter was alive.

"Since that's the case, then I guess Xiaoxia's mother should also be alive," Li Long said, "Otherwise, she couldn't have run here to look for you by herself. Eight out of ten, it was Xiaoxia's mother who said you were here, so she could find her way here, otherwise how could a little girl remember things from that time?"

Gu Bo Yuan nodded, his emotions were very excited, but he couldn't say anything.

Although he knew his other daughter was alive, and his wife was also likely alive, he could only wait passively.

This huge fluctuation of emotions made him speechless.

"I don't intend to tell Xiaoxia about this." Li Long saw Gu Bo Yuan didn't speak, and said his decision, "Xiaoxia is in confinement, her emotions can't be too excited now, otherwise it's easy to hurt her body."

Although Li Long didn't have children in his previous life, he brushed a lot of short videos and knew that mothers in confinement were most prone to depression, just like that He Yulian.

So he planned to hide this matter for a while before talking about it.

Gu Bo Yuan nodded. He hadn't told Gu Xiaoxia properly about this matter before, and now he couldn't tell her even more.

After a while, Gu Bo Yuan asked:

"How is Xiaoxia now? How are the children?"

"Xiaoxia has recovered to her weight of a year ago. She said she can't be nourished anymore, if she nourishes anymore, she will exceed the standard weight. The two babies are also good, now they just eat and sleep, sleep and eat, very obedient."

Mentioning the children, Li Long's eyes were full of smiles: "Very easy to take care of, I just sent my sister-in-law back today, Sister Yang alone can take care of them."

Gu Bo Yuan hadn't cooked for himself these past few days, and hadn't gone to the big courtyard side, mainly because he felt it was inconvenient, so he didn't know that Li Long and the others had already returned.

"That's good." Gu Bo Yuan said, "I won't go over until Xiaoxia finishes confinement. You are busy over there, I can't help much, so I won't add to the chaos. Don't worry about me, everything is fine here, I can take care of myself."

Li Long wasn't pretentious either. Anyway, this confinement was already halfway through, and it wasn't a few days short.

And next, the women in the team came over one wave after another.

Sister Yang felt for the first time the influence of Li Long and his wife in the 4th team. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 681 =====
