Chapter 681: The most afraid of problems during confinement

The first batch to come were Yang Pingping, Deng Guilan, Liang Dacheng's mother, and these people. Tao Daqiang drove the tractor, because they were visiting a woman in confinement, the ones who came were also women who had given birth to children.

They all heard that Gu Xiaoxia gave birth to two babies, and they were envious to no end.

Although Tao Daqiang didn't have a strong probability of giving birth to a boy or a girl, in his view, as long as it was his own child, it was fine.

But Yang Pingping's obsession was deeper than his. I don't know if she was nagged by her mother's family, or because someone in the 4th team said something idle, anyway, she was working hard, wanting to wait two years to give birth to another baby.

So on this trip, she wanted to quietly learn from Gu Xiaoxia, to see if there was any secret, otherwise how could she give birth to two at once?

You know, state cadres have family planning, and can only have one child.

This is good, the Li family has two, so there's no need to think so much.

Although it wasn't as good as one son and one daughter, two was better than one.

The concept of everyone at this time was like this.

Sister Yang saw the tractor pulling quite a few people over, and while greeting people, she prepared to boil red eggs.

Yang Pingping and the others not only brought eggs and hens, but also brought small clothes, diapers, swaddling blankets, and other things, which were very practical.

For a time, the living room in the middle of the main house was piled full of things.

Yang Pingping and the others entered the inner room to talk to Gu Xiaoxia and see the children. Li Long was talking to Tao Daqiang, Xie Yun Dong, and Liang Dacheng outside.

The topic about children was only mentioned a few sentences by the four people. Instead, they talked about the rumor that there was a girl who looked like Gu Xiaoxia.

As soon as Li Long heard it, it was bad. The men all knew this, and those women might also know it. What if they went in and told Gu Xiaoxia?

But now it was too late to think about it, Li Long was a bit nervous and looked into the room.

"Don't worry, everyone washed before coming, it won't pass any disease to your baby." Xie Yun Dong thought Li Long was worried that too many people would affect the child, so he said with a smile.

These few men themselves weren't interested in gossip, and soon the topic turned to the things to be done next.

"In half a month, it will be time to harvest wheat." Liang Dacheng said.

"Are you ready?" Li Long asked, "Tractors, oil, harvesters, helpers, all must be prepared."

"I don't have any problems." Liang Dacheng said with a smile, "Two days ago I pulled a barrel of oil back. When the time comes, my Shuangcheng will follow. Shuangcheng is good at arithmetic, follow to calculate accounts."

"I'll let my brother follow me." Tao Daqiang's words surprised everyone.

Everyone present knew Tao Dayong's character. Is it okay to let him follow?

Xie Yun Dong even persuaded:

"Daqiang, why not let your father follow, at least your father lives with you..."

Liang Dacheng also nodded in agreement: "That is, that is, I see Uncle Tao is full of spirit now, you might as well let Uncle Tao follow..."

"It's okay, my brother has changed a lot." Tao Daqiang smiled, lowered his head and said, "Since the end of last year, I saw my brother has changed, and the change is quite big. I just thought—anyway, I have to bring someone, so I'll bring my brother, anyway, that's my brother."

Alright, others can't manage the family affairs of others.

Li Long looked at Xie Yun Dong. Xie Yun Dong smiled and said:

"I plan to do it myself. If I'm too busy, I'll bring my brother-in-law. He has nothing to do at home, if I'm really busy, I can bring him to earn some money."

Since everyone had plans, Li Long talked about the next thing:

"Recently I sold dozens of harvesters, mostly in the surrounding area, more in the regiment, and a few in our county. So when you go out to work in other townships, your attitude must be good, don't calculate too clearly, don't be too calculating.

We harvest wheat for two yuan, and we can earn dozens or hundreds of yuan a day. Earning a little less won't lack much meat. Have a better attitude, harvest cleanly for people, people are in a good mood, and can promote for us..."

"This is certain, know, know." Tao Daqiang had been selling fish with Li Long for two years and knew the most about this aspect, "Giving a smile doesn't cost money, Long Ge, don't worry about this. We are going to earn money, we must have a good relationship with the customer."

"Right, that's the truth." Li Long nodded and said, "This is the first time doing such a thing, we are earning money by service, having a good attitude is not shameful, being able to earn money with a smile, and making others satisfied, that is amazing. We are not doing a one-time deal, you harvest well this year, people think you are not bad, and next year they will likely find you to harvest again."

Xie Yun Dong and Liang Dacheng hadn't thought about this point, so after listening to Li Long and Tao Daqiang's words, both of them lowered their heads and pondered.

In the past, what they thought was going out to find people, talking to people, those willing to harvest would harvest, and after harvesting, collect money and leave.

Now what Li Long said, this harvesting wheat is a long-term business.

Li Long implemented this concept to them, the original intention was in the next ten years, as long as wheat and rice are planted, with the current economic situation here, they won't be able to find combine harvesters to harvest immediately.

This kind of small four-wheel harvester has a golden period of ten years.

He hoped that these people he brought could accumulate a batch of funds in the next ten years, and when the harvesters were about to be eliminated, they could have a family foundation, quickly purchase new machines, and continue to develop.

One generation ahead, as long as you step on the right point, you can step ahead. He has a cheat, so it depends on whether these people can cooperate and keep up.

And there is another point, harvesters will definitely be more and more in the future, although the market is also expanding, but the number of households is just so many. Only by improving the service attitude, people will find you to harvest wheat for the second or third time, and you can earn this money.

Li Long needed Xie Yun Dong, Liang Dacheng and the others to have a change in psychology. Tao Daqiang followed him to sell fish, and already had consciousness in this aspect, but Xie Yun Dong and Liang Dacheng still needed a process of change in this aspect.

Since the words reached this point, Li Long didn't intend to say more.

They chatted for a while, and the women came out of the room. At this time, Sister Yang had already boiled the red eggs, and everyone took a portion.

This is a return gift for visiting the baby, and there is no need to decline.

Li Long wanted them to eat before leaving, but none of these people stayed. Knowing that someone was in confinement, there were many things to do, staying to eat was causing trouble for people.

After people left, Sister Yang helped Gu Xiaoxia organize those small clothes and shoes brought over, and commented with a smile:

"These things are really dedicated, look at how dense the stitches are! This fabric is also good, thick, easy to use. These diapers... heh, this time it's really enough..."

Tao Daqiang and the others came in the morning. After lunch, Sister Yang helped Gu Xiaoxia feed the two children. When she was preparing to wash the diapers in the afternoon, another group of people came.

This time it was Sister-in-law Lu and others, who came by horse-drawn carriage.

Unlike the young wives who were the main force in the morning, the afternoon was mainly old aunts.

Most of these old aunts had a good relationship with Li Jianguo and the others, and even if they weren't the same batch of people, they had all been in the village for a long time, and could be considered to have watched Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia grow up.

Although they were elders, in the past two years, every family in the 4th team had received benefits from Li Long. Even if some people were sour, they still remembered the good of others in their hearts.

Originally, these people thought about waiting for Gu Xiaoxia to return to the team for confinement before coming to see her. But after Yang Pingping and Deng Guilan went to the county to see her in the morning, it spread in the team—Gu Xiaoxia didn't intend to return to the team for confinement, and Li's mother and sister-in-law didn't need to go either, there were special people taking care of her over there.

Then those in the team who had already prepared gifts discussed it, found two horse-drawn carriages, pulled them, and came over.

Anyway, it was only a one or two-hour road to the county, so just treat it as going to the street, and buy something by the way.

These people didn't stay long in Li Long's big courtyard. The old aunts mainly entered the room to see Gu Xiaoxia and the baby, and by the way, passed on the experience of their own confinement.

Regardless of whether these experiences were outdated, Gu Xiaoxia could hear their good intentions.

After all, confinement for a woman is really a very big thing. If one is not careful, one will really leave a root of illness for a lifetime.

It's not like what some people say, it doesn't matter whether you do it or not.

These old aunts didn't stay long. It wasn't easy to come out once, and they still had to go to the street to buy some household things.

So the afternoon was relatively better.

Sister Yang, according to Li Long's statement, sprayed some alcohol on the steps outside the room to disinfect.

Originally thought this was about the same, but didn't expect that two more batches of people came in the morning and afternoon of the next day.

They were also from the 4th team. On the third day, Liang Yumei's mother Chen Xiuzhu and sister Liang Xingmei also came over.

Sister Yang sighed secretly that there were really many people coming to see the baby, while boiling eggs.

Fortunately, there were many people who brought eggs, and the ones brought were also cooked eggs, just need to paint them red and boil them.

Gu Xiaoxia had also seen the world these two days, hearing different confinement experiences from different people, some even opposite.

However, some were the same, can't take a bath, can't wash hair, can't eat things with salty taste, etc. Li Long even added a sentence that can't eat food that is easy to be allergic to. Of course, things like shrimp are not easy to eat even if you want to.

Li Long communicates with the children every day. Although these two children don't understand what their father is saying at all, Li Long also knows they don't understand, but he just wants to say it.

Being a father for the first time, Li Long's sense of novelty has always been very strong, and he is really a bit panicked.

Brushing too many short videos in his previous life, he knew the important role a father plays in the process of a child's growth. To be honest, he really didn't have a bottom line.

Don't know if he can be competent.

Other things, Li Long never had no confidence. Nothing more than making money, living, letting his family live very well.

But things like being a father really couldn't copy the old routine. After all, what he was facing were two new lives like white paper.

So Gu Xiaoxia's biggest fun in confinement, besides watching TV, was watching Li Long communicate with the two children who ate and slept, slept and ate, in various ways.

It was just a feeling of being quite fun.

In the middle, people would come to buy harvesters from time to time. The twenty harvesters originally left before giving birth to the child were sold out before Gu Xiaoxia finished confinement.

(Content omitted)

Li Long didn't intend to go and pull them for a while. The wheat season had arrived, and he didn't even intend to harvest wheat before Gu Xiaoxia finished confinement—he had agreed with others in the township to harvest it himself, and now he planned to hand it over to his eldest brother.

This year, the income from selling harvesters alone was almost ten thousand. He planned to hand over such tiring work to others. He would just do some work to earn intermediary fees.

After all, tired to death, harvesting wheat with this tractor, at most earn four or five thousand yuan.

These money, selling twenty harvesters would earn it back.

However, there was one thing he had to complete. That was in August, Halimu and the others would return to the winter pasture to mow grass. At that time, Li Long would drive the tractor into the mountains to help harvest.

Li Long planned to teach Halimu and the others how to use the harvester at that time, and hand over the tractor and harvester to them.

After all, his own child was still small, and at that time, it would be two months old. Although Gu Xiaoxia hadn't gone to work at this time, Li Long also wanted to take care of it at home.

At this time, the maternity leave for giving birth to a girl was ninety days, which was three months. Generally, ten days before birth, and seventy-five days after birth. Gu Xiaoxia asked for leave ten days before birth, and after giving birth, she had almost eighty days of leave, which was more than two months.

For a period of time, people would come to visit Gu Xiaoxia from time to time, and the clothes and shoes made for the children were piled up on the bed in the east of the main house. Sister Yang sighed and said that these clothes and shoes were enough for the two children to wear for several years.

It wasn't until Gu Xiaoxia finished confinement that such a situation subsided.

Li Long recorded people one by one, these were to be returned.

He didn't intend to hold a full-month wine for the children. At this time, there was no such custom in the 4th team, and Li Long didn't intend to break this habit. Just love your own children yourself, no need to engage in those forms. Those who have heart have already come to send things, just record it.

After confinement, Gu Xiaoxia could finally take a bath. She let Li Long and Sister Yang watch the children, and she washed well in the room.

After all, not being able to take a bath in the middle of summer was really uncomfortable.

Han Fang saw the two children for the first time, a feeling of curiosity bursting.

Looking at the two small, cute, identical children, she couldn't help saying to Sister Yang:

"Mom, these two little brothers are really obedient!"

The two children were no longer eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating all day now. Although their eyes hadn't developed well and they might not see things very clearly, they had already begun to observe this world.

Han Fang was curious about them, and they were also curious about Han Fang.

"Pooped." Li Long reminded on the side, "Let Xiao Fang, you stay away, I have to change diapers for them."

Li Long's sense of smell and hearing were much better, and soon he smelled a smell of poop.

Han Fang didn't dislike the fact that the two children pooped, who doesn't poop?

Sister Yang was in the kitchen. When Li Long was changing diapers for Mingming, Haohao couldn't wait and cried.

"Uncle, do you want me to hold him?" Han Fang looked a bit anxious on the side, she seemed unable to listen to the child crying.

"No, it's good to cry for a while." Li Long watched many similar videos in his previous life and knew that children couldn't be held as soon as they cried. While changing, he said, "If he cries and you hold him, he will get used to it in the future, then it won't be able to be put down."

Can't be put down, here the dialect says sharp hook, it's not good for adults or children.

Cry a bit, exercise lung capacity is also good.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xiaoxia, who was taking a bath, asked.

"Pooped, it's okay."

"Good." Gu Xiaoxia responded.

Sister Yang outside heard it, and also heard the conversation, and asked:

"Did they poop? I'll..."

"No need to come over, changed." Li Long said while he had already changed for Mingming, and started changing for Haohao.

The butt was comfortable, so it didn't cry anymore.

Now the two children were slightly more naughty than in confinement, would play by themselves, would play with each other, except for pooping or peeing too much, basically didn't cry.

In Du Chunfang's words, it was much better than Li Long when he was young. Li Long cried a lot when he was young, and cried whenever he was unhappy.

Li Long thought, was it crying from hunger? How poor were the conditions in his hometown when he was born? Let alone at that time, even now, some families in his hometown hadn't reached food and clothing.

Already out of confinement, Gu Xiaoxia could go out of the room. Li Long also had to move around. The next morning, he carried a bag of red eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative, and sent some to Director Wei, Li Xiangqian, and each section. Giving birth to a child is a big event, not holding a full-month wine is because he didn't want people to give gifts, but it was necessary to tell everyone.

After sending them to the people in the cooperative, he also went to the meat canteen and the acquisition station, and sent red eggs to Zhong Guo Qiang and Chen Hongjun.

At the acquisition station, Li Long asked Chen Hongjun about the acquisition price of mushrooms.

"The dried goods of morels are between thirty and thirty-five." Chen Hongjun was very clear about this, "Black tiger palm fungus is around twenty-five. Of course, the quality must be good, otherwise, the value must be lowered."

Li Long thought, if Sun Jia Qiang could get more, he would definitely earn more from mushrooms than from fritillaria.

Li Long hadn't entered the mountains during this period, and didn't know how he was in the mountains.

Li Long didn't have time to manage so much, the most important thing now was the children.

Maybe it was lazy, maybe it was because he really didn't intend to do it during this period, plus the money earned from fritillaria and weaving the frame was not small, Li Long didn't go out to work during this wheat harvest season.

Even the harvester he left for himself was sold by him.

Usually, he just took care of the children, and occasionally went back to the 4th team to see. Gu Bo Yuan didn't start coming here to eat until after Gu Xiaoxia finished confinement. Before, he was to avoid troubling people here, and ate in his own small courtyard.

And Li Long could also see that Gu Xiaoxia didn't seem to know, or wasn't affected by the girl who might be her sister coming over, and was happy every day feeding the children, in a good mood.

Li Long was relieved.

If she really had some depression, he really didn't know how to handle it.

Although women in this era might not know so much, and basically endured it if they had psychological problems, Li Long still didn't want his wife to suffer psychologically after suffering physically.

It seemed fine now.

Before Gu Xiaoxia's leave ended, Li Long was driven into the mountains by her.

In Gu Xiaoxia's words, a big man shouldn't stay at home all day, and should have his own career.

Alright, then do it. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 682 =====
