Chapter 518: Born
When they got off the car and arrived at the village, the sky was still bright, and the village was full of smoke and birds, just at mealtime.
Now it's midsummer, the sky doesn't get dark so fast, and every family eats late.
When they carried the shoulder pole into the village, the men and women holding rice bowls and eating by the roadside greeted them one after another as long as they knew them.
Ye Yaodong can now be considered a celebrity in the village, one by one, piece by piece, all made the villagers have a deep impression of him, this time he earned big money again, the village is spreading wildly, saying he was originally a second-rate, now it is seen that he has completely shaken up.
Until he walked to the doorstep, he completely breathed a sigh of relief, put down the shoulder pole, and rubbed his face that was a bit stiff from smiling.
"Why is everyone so enthusiastic today? In the past, when walking past, at most look a few times, discuss a few words behind the back, now actually one by one greets with a smile?"
"Isn't it because it's been spreading wildly for two days that you earned a lot of money."
"Sure enough, people still have to have money, this money is more, everyone's attitude is different."
Lin Xiuqing looked at his somewhat proud expression, gave him a white eye, "Less reminiscing and proud, be low-key, know? Hurry up and carry the things in, have to organize later, I still have to cook, holding this small meat pier all the way, my hand is about to dislocate."
"Isn't there no one? Wait until you cook a bowl of noodles to eat... sniff~ what smell is so fragrant? Chicken soup?"
Ye Yaodong looked at her, "Did our house stew chicken?"
"How would I know? Didn't I also go to your maiden home with you all day? Maybe the eldest brother and second brother's side killed chicken in advance? We will also stew the chicken and duck killed by my father and mother in the evening to make up for you, originally when you came back, I also thought about stewing a small hen for Mid-Autumn..."
The old lady in the house also heard the movement outside, hurriedly came out, wiped her hands on the apron, and said happily: "Back, hurry in and rest for a while, I stewed a small hen, boiled the soup for a long time just waiting for you to come back, you each fill a bowl first to eat, fill your stomach, and then take the remaining chicken soup to cook a bowl of noodles."
It turned out that it was really the fragrance from his house.
"When did you stew it, stewed in the afternoon?"
"Yes, you went out with your front feet, I went to catch the chicken and kill it with my back feet, stewed on low heat for three hours, just kept it on the stove and simmered, only scooped a small bowl of soup and a small chicken leg for Yangyang to eat. I'll fill it for you, you sit and rest for a while."
"We'll do it ourselves..."
Lin Xiuqing smiled: "I also wanted to stew a small hen tomorrow, didn't expect the old lady to be one step faster."
The old lady said happily: "Thought of it together, Dongzi was too tired on this trip, people became black and haggard, must make up for it."
"My maiden home took a chicken and a duck, all killed, and also stewed to put tomorrow, otherwise it's hot today, it won't be fresh if stewed tomorrow."
"Alright, alright, alright, the in-laws have heart..."
"Where are the two children?"
"Ran out to play, they all ate at the old house, this small hen is not very big, you two eat it, anyway there is chicken soup and duck soup tomorrow."
"Hmm."
"Oh right, Huimei started this morning, your mother and two sisters-in-law all went over, they haven't come back yet, she is the first one, estimated to give birth until night."
"Ah!" Ye Yaodong stood up in surprise.
"Sit down, sit down, you eat your meal first, it has nothing to do with you if she gives birth to a child, your mother and two sisters-in-law go over to help, that's it."
Lin Xiuqing said in surprise: "This child is born just in time, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival to eat mooncakes, and the birthday and festival can be celebrated together."
"Then one festival is less, heard women like festivals the most..."
"Where did you hear that?"
The old lady said: "Best to give birth at night, children born on the 15th are not easy to bring, but tomorrow is a good day."

"Superstitious, can you say when to give birth when giving birth? Want to give birth at what time, want to give birth at what time? It's not a cesarean section."
"What does a big man know?"
"Go over and see together after eating," Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing, "Organize the things after coming back."
"Alright."
The couple just drank a bowl of chicken soup, and then rushed towards A-Guang's house again, now rural women basically give birth at home, and Ye Huimei is no exception.
As soon as they reached the door, they saw A-Guang like an ant on a hot pan, sweating profusely from anxiety, stretching his neck and looking into the house, obviously seeing nothing, only vaguely hearing the pain-enduring sound coming from the house.
"How long has this been?"
"From morning until now, how come women giving birth take so long? No wonder people always take staying in the house to give birth as a mocking word, hanging on their lips."
Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing, "How long did you take to give birth to the eldest?"
Lin Xiuqing gave a white eye, and said unhappily: "Gave birth for almost a day and a night, you held your son as soon as you came back, cool to death, don't have to worry at all."
"Uh... then it is estimated that Huimei will also be at night."
"You just came back from your maiden home, right? Go back and rest first, there are still children at home to bring and feed milk, Huimei shouldn't give birth so fast, I will report the good news to you after giving birth."
"We'll stand for a while first..."
Until the sky was dark, there was still only pain-enduring sound in the house, no good news, the couple went back first.
Their children at home were still young, one was still waiting to be fed, Lin Xiuqing really couldn't stay here for too long.
After greeting A-Guang, they went back first.
As soon as the old lady saw them come back, she immediately asked if she gave birth?
"Not yet, don't know when she will give birth, we saw the sky was dark, afraid the children at home would look for us at night, so we came back first."
"Then it is estimated to be at night, anyway, your mother is there, it's fine, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
The couple was really like a spinning top today, didn't stop, after eating casually, they organized things, and then bathed the children, busy non-stop.
Until the next morning, they heard from the next door Ye Ersao that Ye Huimei gave birth to a daughter at 3 o'clock in the morning yesterday, and the time was really just right.
"Today's date is quite good, just in time for the reunion festival, joy on top of joy."
Ye Yaodong also said with a smile: "Daughter is quite good, can give birth to a second one, don't have to take risks."
The old lady also felt so, "Now can only give birth to one, it's too little, fortunately the first one is a girl, can give birth to another one, two children can also have a companion. Just afraid the in-laws are unhappy, after all, there is only one son, definitely counting on Huimei to give birth to a boy."
"What can be done about this, who can control giving birth to a boy or a girl, daughter is also quite good, filial, sensible and obedient. Now everyone doesn't want a daughter, in the future there will be fewer girls, and men will not be able to marry a wife."
Lin Xiuqing smiled: "Your daughter is only five months old, and you know she will be filial, sensible and obedient?"
"Definitely, my daughter, does this still need to be questioned?"
The old lady shook her head with a smile, ignored his bragging, looked at Lin Xiuqing and said: "Wait until you send the small clothes over, children actually wear old clothes well, old clothes fabric is soft..."
"Hmm, but new ones must also be prepared, take them out to be decent, old ones were sent over more than a month ago."
"Eh~ our daughter and A-Guang's daughter are only 5 months apart, then they are the same age, and they can also have companions in the future, and can play together."
"You just thought of it?"
"Wash and dry the clothes your daughter can't wear and send them to him?"
"Don't need you to say this, I organized and washed them long ago and sent them over."
"Wait until you tell your father and mother, let them come to our house to eat and celebrate Mid-Autumn in the evening, anyway, there are chicken, duck, fish and meat, I'll go out and stroll to see if I can add two more dishes."
"Alright."
Ye Yaodong held his daughter and sat at the doorstep, watching Lin Xiuqing go out, thinking that time passed really fast, and it was Mid-Autumn again.
Last year when he was reborn, his daughter didn't even have a shadow, just a small tadpole, now she can be held in his hand to play.
This year's Mid-Autumn is also different from last year.
Have their own
This year is truly a prosperous year.
He kissed his daughter's little face, "Did you bring me good luck? Ever since you were in your mother's belly, your father has started having great fortune."
Ye Xiaoxi giggled at his kisses, as if it were very ticklish, and a long string of drool hung down.
Ye Yaodong wiped it for her with a handkerchief, then folded it and put it in his pocket, "Why is there so much drool? I see that the bib on your chest is never dry from morning till night; are you wanting to eat something?"
Ye Xiaoxi could only make "ah ah ah" sounds, and the more she made them, the more she drooled, but he wiped it tirelessly.
"Yo, Dongzi, the chickens at home have laid eggs," the old lady said happily, pulling an egg out of the chicken coop in the yard, "I saw a hen clucking away yesterday and was thinking of using straw to build a nest for it to lay eggs today; I didn't expect it had already laid one."
Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up, "The first egg? This is nourishing; let Ah Qing stew it this afternoon, it'll be just right as a supplementary food for Little Nine."
"Good, good, good. This first egg is small in size, it's just right for her to eat. From now on, the other hens should also start laying eggs one after another. When the time comes, collect them all and send half to Huimei for her to eat during her postpartum recovery."
"Duck eggs too, right? They've been raised for four months or so, they should be laying eggs soon too. When the time comes, collect the first duck eggs, and use the rest to make salted duck eggs."
Thinking of the oily sea duck eggs, he could finish a whole big bowl of porridge.
The old lady smiled with a kind face, "Good, good, good. I'll pickle them all for you when the time comes; none of the salted duck eggs I pickle ever fail to be oily."
"Dad, I'm going to herd the ducks," Ye Chenghu said actively, putting down the spinning top in his hand as soon as he heard them talking about ducks.
"Go ahead, don't go into the water. Play on the shore for a while and come back; the sun will be very scorching in a little while."
"Got it, I'll go try my luck on the beach after the tide goes out."
Today is the fifteenth.
Ye Yaodong looked at the sea surface; it was calm and peaceful. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have to go out to sea to make money again after the festival. Who told him to be a fisherman? In good weather, one must actively make money.
