Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 1082 Double Yolk

After Lin Xiuqing coaxed the child to sleep, she also asked him about what happened in the city today.

"It's better to settle it sooner and feel at ease sooner. Don't always think about this matter. Just go and take a look when you are free. You can drive it back when the time is almost up."

"Well, I don't have anything to do tomorrow. I will go and check the progress of the wooden boat tomorrow. It must be driven back before the end of the month, which is just a few days. You can also take a look when you are free these two days, and prepare something for me to bring to Director Chen in the city in a few days."

"I remember it. I will call my mother later to see and ask her what to send."

"Okay."

Originally, Lin Xiuqing was thinking of calling Ye's mother the next day, but she didn't expect Ye's mother to call back first in the morning, but she didn't call her family, but called A Guang.

But not long after, A Guang ran to their house excitedly with a happy face.

"Dongzi... Dongzi... hurry up... lend me the tractor, Huimei gave birth, twin boys, two at once... hahaha..."

"Oh my god, I'm so awesome... so good... double yolks... hahahaha... two, so awesome..."

"Hurry up, lend me the tractor, come with me to the city to have a look..."

As soon as Ah Guang ran into the yard, he started shouting and yelling, and he was as excited as a young boy. Ye Yaodong just reacted and he was dragged out by him, and he kept urging him.

"No... wait... you tell me first, how can it be so late? Huimei gave birth? And gave birth to two at once? Two, really? Did my mother just call back to tell me the news?"

He was a little bit unbelievable. He believed that she gave birth, but it was too unexpected to say that she gave birth to two at once? There was no twin gene in their family, so the probability of having twins was too low, right?

Lin Xiuqing also hurriedly followed behind them, and only when they reached the yard did they find a chance to talk. She was full of surprise, "Really? It was born so soon? Twin boys?"

"Yes, yes, it was born early in the morning, with double yolks, twin boys, may our ancestors bless us, haha..." A Guang's mouth was almost split to the back of his head, he was overjoyed.

Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao from next door heard his shouting, and hurried out of the house, asking questions across the wall while walking towards their yard.

"Huimei gave birth? Ten days or half a month early?"

"It's twins, early is normal," the old lady was also very happy, "I told you, I asked the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva said it was a boy, then it must be a boy, I didn't expect to have two at once. This girl is lucky, if she had two at once, it's good that it's the second child, it's safer and easier to give birth."

Sister-in-law Ye was also very surprised, "Oh, two sons? No wonder A Guang was so happy that he didn't know what to do. It's a big happy event, a great happy event, who is so lucky to have two sons at once."

Second sister-in-law Ye congratulated with a smile on her face, "I was wondering why you were so noisy so early in the morning? It turned out to be such a big happy event, it's better to give birth early and safely, when was it born?"

"Mom said that her water broke yesterday evening, and she was born at 6 o'clock this morning. I just finished cleaning it up. Let the third sister-in-law's mother watch it. She called back to announce the good news. She just gave birth not long ago. "

Lin Xiuqing smiled, "There has never been twin boys in our village. There was only a pair of twin girls before. You are lucky. Now the second birth is strictly controlled. You have two at once, which saves trouble."

Ye Dasao also smiled and agreed, "Yes, when other people give birth to a second child, the first one must be a girl, and they will give birth five years later. You have two at once, which saves trouble."

"I was wondering why her belly looks like a big watermelon. When your third sister-in-law was about to give birth, it was not that big. It turned out that she had two. You are really good, two shots in one shot."

"Hahahahaha, I was wondering why I was so unlucky in the past twenty years. All my luck is here, hahaha..." A Guang was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He ran for a while and came here, and he was still excited.

If you give birth to a son, you will probably be happy, not so excited, but it is really exciting to have two twins at once. There are no twins in their village yet.

Father Pei also arrived late at this time. He rode his bicycle to the gate. When he got off, his crotch was almost stuck on the front bar. The bicycle fell to the ground, but he was still smiling.

He hurried in before he could even hold the bicycle.

No matter how important the bicycle is, it is not as important as the two precious grandchildren.

"This kid ran so fast that I couldn't catch up with him on the bicycle. I asked him to wait for me, but he ran away in a hurry."

Everyone also hurriedly opened their mouths to congratulate him. Father Pei was also beaming with joy. He felt proud to have two grandchildren at once.

When people get old, of course they want to have a house full of children and grandchildren, and twins are so rare.

"Okay, I've said it, you all know it, so let's set off quickly. If I had known, I would not have come back yesterday and stayed there. Who knew that it would start last night by chance."

Lin Xiuqing watched A Guang hurriedly pulling A Dong out, and hurriedly shouted, "Catch two chickens and take them with you. I don't know when you will be back. Mom went there a few days ago and only brought small clothes, eggs, red dates, longans, etc., because she was afraid that there was no place to raise them, and she didn't catch any chickens..."

"No, no, it's not like before. You have money, so why worry about not being able to buy things? When the time comes, just buy two in the village over there. Let's go quickly. If we leave now, we will arrive at noon."

Ye Yaodong was dragged by him, and his clothes were twisted into a knot. He was still wearing slippers.

When he arrived at the workshop, the floor was cleaned last night, and it was wet and full of puddles. The sun had just come out early in the morning and it hadn't dried yet. His slippers became slippery after a few steps, and he was dragged by A Guang all the time. If he wasn't careful, the toe of the slipper slipped to his heel.

"Wait, wait... I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry..."

"Hurry up, stop dawdling, my wife and kids are still waiting."

"No, look at my feet, help me pull my slippers out first."

Ye Yaodong lifted his left foot, and the entire slipper had slipped to his ankle.

He didn't have this problem when he wore flip-flops before, but because the two little wolfhounds in Linji had left teeth marks all over his flip-flops a few days ago, two pairs of such slippers were delivered to him within two days.

It's okay to wear them normally, but when the ground is wet, your feet will be slippery, and if you walk fast or run, it's easy to stick your toes out, and then the shoes will slip to your ankles.

"You're the only one who has so many things to do, and you still wear slippers when you go out..."

A Guang and his father immediately lowered their heads to help him pull the slippers out of his ankles, and they pulled hard.

"Oh my god, I don't wear slippers at home, so why would I wear leather shoes? You pulled me out as soon as you came in, and you didn't even give me a chance to speak or respond. Now you have the nerve to say that I came out wearing slippers."

"Yes, yes... yes, yes... you are right, all right, let's go."

Ye Yaodong was actually anxious and wanted to move faster, but there were people who were more anxious than him, who kept pulling him, slowing him down, but the pig ears just wouldn't listen.

Fortunately, after the tractor started, the impatient people became calm and could sit still, but they couldn't stop urging him to go faster on the road.

He had to speed up on a flat road, but when turning, he had to slow down.

As soon as they walked out of the yard and headed for the workshop to drive the tractor, the neighbors next to them also came over curiously. They had just heard them shouting and thought something had happened again?

As a result, they came over to listen and were very surprised. It turned out that Ye Huimei had gone to the city to give birth to a child, and now she had given birth to twins, which surprised everyone.

As a group of women stood at the door and chatted, more and more people gathered around them, and everyone thought that there was something new early in the morning.

There were too few entertainments in the countryside. People wanted to squeeze in wherever there were more people. They didn't talk, but just listened.

The three sisters-in-law also thought that since the children were born, it didn't matter, and they could talk about it.

If they didn't talk about it now, if they brought the children back a few days later to have confinement, they would give eggs to relatives and friends, and the villagers would still know about it.

Giving birth to twins was also very rare. It didn't take half a day for the news to spread throughout the village, and everyone suddenly realized why they hadn't seen Ye Huimei for so long.

The speed of gossip spread was much faster than the speed of their tractors. Before they arrived in the city, the whole village knew about it.

When the sun was at its zenith, the tractor also arrived in the village.

Interestingly, the neighbors in this village are quite humane. Knowing that Ye Huimei gave birth to twins this morning, some sent 5 eggs, some sent a handful of red dates and longans, and some brought one or two old diapers and clothes from home, all of which showed their love.

When they entered the house, Ye's mother and Lin's mother were already rolling red eggs there.

"Are you here? I guess you will come as soon as you receive the call, and you will arrive at noon."

"Where is Huimei..."

A Guang rushed into the room as soon as possible and went straight to the bed.

Father Pei was embarrassed to get too close, so he stood by the stove and kept thanking Ye's mother and Lin's mother.

Ye Yaodong was the last to enter the house in order to stop the tractor.

When they entered, A Guang and his son had already finished asking about each other's well-being, and each of them held a little baby, and they couldn't stop smiling.

"Looks like you and your son, but a little darker, more like grandpa..."

"Guang doesn't look that dark this year..."

"He's a little darker, but it doesn't matter. He's a boy, so he doesn't need to be very white. All the children at the beach are dark..."

"He's only a few hours old. He'll get better after a few days. Children change every day. He won't be that dark by then. It doesn't matter if he's a boy. Girls need to be whiter." Lin's mother said with a smile.

Ye's mother also said: "Fortunately it's a boy. Two at once, it's a perfect ending. I was wondering why her belly was so big. When I came here a few days ago, she was wondering if it was twins."

"But the couple is so careless. They insist that she is fat because she eats too well. She was hiding here and didn't dare to go to the hospital for a check-up. Fortunately, I came early, otherwise what would I do if you came so early? And two, it would be difficult for the mother-in-law."

"After giving birth to one, I thought it was done. I was praying Amitabha, and the Bodhisattva bless the mother and child. I didn't expect Huimei to still have a stomachache and said there was another one. I was so scared that I was still in a panic."

Ye's mother said while laughing. This is really worth being happy about.

Ye Yaodong was also there thanking for his help, "That's good, I came early, and I prepared a lot of things to be prepared."

"Yes, it's good that I brought all the small clothes and diapers made at home, both new and old, otherwise I would be in a mess, it's not as convenient outside as at home."

Mother Lin smiled and put all the rolled red eggs in the basket, "While they are still warm, I will send them to the neighbors, two per family, as a token of my appreciation, and let everyone share in the joy."

"Okay, then I'll trouble my mother-in-law."

"Why are you being polite? We are all family."

Ye Yaodong also went to the bedside to look at Ye Huimei, and saw that she was wrapped in the quilt tightly, with her head She was still wrapped in a piece of cloth, and forgot to say something caring. The first thing she said was, "Are you hot?"

Ye Huimei couldn't help laughing, "It's hot, my hair is wet, I don't know how much sweat I've shed, but my mother told me to bear it, it's only the first day."

"Then bear it, close your eyes and sleep for a while, I guess you haven't slept all night."

A Guang also immediately agreed, "Yes, you should sleep for a while, giving birth to two at a time is definitely more tiring than giving birth to one."

Ye Yaodong wanted to reach out and take the child in his arms to hug him, but he turned away, "You hold the one in my father's hand, that one said it's the younger one."

'You won't even hug me, who doesn't have a son? '

Ye Yaodong complained in his heart, and turned to look at the one in Pei's father's hand.

"Let me see it, I haven't seen it before, how dark is it? It has been in the womb for a long time and has never seen the light, so it shouldn't be too... dark... right..."

He didn't take over yet, just moved the thin blanket covering the child's face in the swaddle, and his mouth was stuck instantly.

He took back his words.

It is indeed... quite... dark...

After looking at the child twice, he couldn't help but look at Pei's father twice, almost the same color, this child is rebellious?

It's true that A Guang looks more like his father, but he hasn't been out to sea much in the past year, so he's not that dark. This child looks like his father, but he looks more like his grandfather because he's darker. Three generations of the family have the same face...

Father Pei was very happy, as if he was content with having a grandson. "This child is so well-behaved and cute, right? Cute, right? He keeps sticking out his tongue..."

"Haha, cute... Really cute..."

Hold it away...

Fortunately, Pei Yu looks delicate and fair, more like Hui Mei. If she had been dark, she would be finished. I don't know how much dowry she would have to pay.

This one is so dark, he is a little curious about the one in A Guang's hand. Logically, twins should look the same, right?

He curiously approached A Guang, "Let me see the one in your hand? Is it the same color? There is no color card, otherwise we can match a pair..."

A Guang glared at him with a knife-like eye.

Ye Huimei also laughed, "I don't know how, I gave birth to two such black children. If you don't know, you would think they were digging coal in the belly. Fortunately, they look like their family members, otherwise I would think I gave birth to the wrong one."

Ye's mother laughed, "They won't be so black in a few days. They were red when they were just born."

"Nonsense, Xiaojiu was born red, haven't I seen it? These two are black..."

Ye's mother slapped him twice, "It will be fine when they grow up. What's wrong with being a little darker? Being darker is healthier. Do you think everyone is as white as you? Aren't all their family black?"

Pei's father smiled and didn't mind at all, "Yes, everyone in our family is black, only girls will be whiter. A Guang was also black when he was born. He will slowly become whiter after raising him. It doesn't matter, boys don't need to be white."

"That's right, black is healthy!"

A Guang was very happy. How could he dislike his child's blackness? After holding the child for a while and seeing the child crying, he put the child back on the bed.

"Did you poop or do you want to eat?"

Mother Ye wiped her hands quickly and came forward, "Let me see."

One cried, and the other followed suit. Mother Ye hurriedly changed the diaper of this one, and then took it to Huimei to feed her, and then changed the other one, and the howling slowly stopped.

Ye Yaodong turned around and asked A Guang, "Are you going to stay tonight?"

"Of course."

"Then when are you going to pick them up? How are you going to pick them up? This tractor is leaking air on all sides, which is not very suitable. It's dusty and windy when driving on the road. It's dirty, and it's not good for the child and the mother."

A Guang thought for a moment, "When we came to the city yesterday, I saw several cars in the city. They should be able to carry passengers. I will go to the city tomorrow to ask and spend more money to invite them. The cars are well covered on all sides, so they won't be exposed to the wind or get dirty."

"That's fine."

In recent years, the province and the city have been developing rapidly. In just one year, the streets used to only have tractors and buses, and rural buses. In the past two years, there have been cars. It can be seen that many people have made a lot of money.

Everyone has taken advantage of the reform and opening up.

"After you have seen it, you should go back early, so as not to get home when it gets dark again and the road is unsafe. I will stay here for two days and take them back after finding a car."

"Don't worry, since you are here, sit for a while."

He also wanted to walk around the village to see which vacant land would be better. After seeing it, he would talk to the village chief while he was here to see if he could grant him a piece of land to build a house.

They haven't developed this place yet, and there are wastelands everywhere. Unlike the land shortage at the seaside, not only arable land, but also residential land for building houses is in short supply. There are several villages nearby that are built by the mountains and the sea.

Even some houses around the town are built on rocks above the seaside. The rocks are a little higher, so the houses can be built on them. Some are also built on rocks halfway up the mountain.

It shouldn't be that difficult to buy land and settle down in this village. After all, it can also generate income for the village. Selling a piece of land can also bring more income to the village. This matter can be done as long as the village chief nods.

"I'll cook noodles for Huimei after I finish my work here. I'll make more. You must not have had lunch yet when you just came."

"It's the same if I go to my brother-in-law's shop outside. You can just make it for them."

"It's just a matter of time. I'll make more longevity noodles. It's not hard. I'll make it here. Don't bother others all the time."

"Okay."

Ye Huimei took turns feeding the two children. It was inconvenient for the grown men to gather around the bed, so they stood at the door to chat again.

Under normal circumstances, the confinement room was not suitable for Pei's father and Ye Yaodong to enter. Generally, visitors would only stand at the door and say a few words, and ask someone to bring the child out to take a look.

Now it's outside, not at home, it's not so convenient, but it's not so particular.

When A Guang came out and sat on the steps at the door, he still said proudly that he had laid two egg yolks at once. Finally, he was better than him in one aspect.

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart. This is also a competition? Then he didn't lose.

"I also have two sons."

"It's different. I gave birth to two at once. It's so amazing... I can't even think about it. If I have another chance, can I have two more..."

"You wishful thinking. I'm not that lucky. You're already lucky. You've got half your life's luck here. Let's see if you'll be fined twice when we go back?"

"Why? They were all born at once, why should you be fined twice? When you beat the egg into a bowl, two yolks come out at once. Did you beat it twice?"

"Then the fine is 500, so 250 for one?"

I heard that prenatal checkups for twins will be charged double!

It's obviously a set of tests, which means you only need to check once, but two will be charged twice, and three will be charged three times.

"Bah! You're only 250, fine him double! I'm rich!"

"Then give me some flowers?"

Father Pei smiled and said, "I heard the price has gone up? In the past two years, it was 500, and some villages had 700, 800, and 1,000. In the past two years, it has been more than that."

A Guang was speechless, "The price of having a child has gone up? How much money does a family make in a year? Those who are going to be fined have lost everything."

"It's good enough to give birth to a child. Xiaoxiao's wife hasn't given birth yet. It seems that it's about the same time as you. It's estimated that it will be soon. There will be two full-month banquets."

"Wait until we go back and ask. If you want to fine him, fine him. Anyway, I'm making a profit by having two sons at once."

"Have you thought of a name?" Ye Yaodong asked.

"I've already thought of a boy's name and a girl's name, but now they're not enough. I have to think about it again."

"What was the original name? Can't we just change the characters based on the original one?"

"Pei Bu Le..."

"Haha, shit!"

"This name is good. It can be used as a big name. Then you can give it a nickname that's easy to call. It won't work now. I have to change it now. We can't be so careless with twins!"

"You should ask my sister. She may have a better name than you."

"Then go in and ask later."

"I'm going to walk around the village and take a look at the vacant land around. Do you want to take a look?"

"Yes, let's go together."

A Guang explained to his curious father that Dongzi wanted to buy a piece of land here, build a house, and maybe even a warehouse to facilitate his return and storage of goods.

"You come and go all the time, so it's more convenient to build a house and have your own home. It's not a good idea to always rent someone else's broken house."

"Yes, I think so too."

A Guang also told his father that if Dongzi bought it, he would also like to buy it, after all, he would settle down in the city.

However, Pei's father did not agree. Their family did not open a store in the city. Although they had a store, they did not rent it out. They did not come here every few days. At most, they would sell goods when they docked and then rush back to the village immediately.

Buying a piece of land and building a house would just leave it there idle. They would not live there for a few days. It would be a waste of money. It would be better to buy a boat with this money, which would also bring more income.

A Guang felt that what his father said made sense, so he was not in a hurry and planned to wait and see.

Anyway, now does not represent the future. Maybe something will change their minds in the future, and there will be temporary changes.

Ye Yaodong did not persuade them. They should just discuss it between the father and son. If there is anything, he can talk to A Guang privately. He will not interfere with the discussion there.

Mother Ye was very skillful. After a while, a big pot of longevity noodles was ready. There were enough ingredients and rice wine in it. A bowl of noodles was full of wine smell. It smelled delicious. They were all used to it.

"Living near this market is very convenient. Such big shrimps are good and fresh. You can buy them every day."

"I bought them when I went to make a phone call this morning. There are also a few fish to cook fish soup in the evening. The other pork liver and pork feet were bought by my mother-in-law. Mushrooms and black fungus were brought from home. There is everything, and it is convenient to cook."

After saying this, Mother Ye took down the basket hanging on the wall next to her and grabbed a handful of dried day lilies for everyone to see.

"And this day lily, a big bag, was also brought by my mother-in-law from home. With her taking care of it, I saved a lot of trouble. I really have to thank my parents-in-law for helping to take care of it in the past six months. A Guang, you have to thank them too."

Mother Lin said politely: "It's nothing. Everyone is a relative in a roundabout way. They are all here, so they must take care of them. It's not convenient for her to be pregnant. The couple also go to the store to help every day, which saves us a lot of trouble. There's no need to be so polite to thank them."

A Guang said quickly: "Yes, after taking them back, I have to thank my uncle and aunt for taking care of them in the past few months. I will invite you to my home for a wedding banquet."

"How can we have that much free time, haha."

Ye Yaodong immediately planned to answer, "It's okay. I will close the store and rest for two days and go home for two days. You haven't rested much, so it's a good time to go home and rest for a few days."

The son-in-law was so considerate, and Mother Lin didn't say much, just smiled.

The birth of a new baby is a great joy. Everyone in the house is beaming with joy. There are not enough stools to sit on, so they stand and eat with their bowls in their hands, all with smiles on their faces.

After filling their stomachs, Ye Yaodong immediately dragged A Guang out to look at the open space. The bright sunshine at noon could not stop his enthusiasm at all.

The two of them didn't even wear hats, and they were sweating profusely before they took two steps, but they still insisted on walking around the whole village. Fortunately, they heard someone selling popsicles, which saved them from almost getting heatstroke.

In the hot summer, they were probably the only ones hanging out outside at noon, except for the children who were excited about their summer vacation.

After the two of them finished their walk, they sat under a big tree to cool off, ate a popsicle to cool off, and discussed the purchase of land by the way.

"How big do you want to buy?"

"There is a large open space near the entrance of the village. It is not completely blocked by the road. There are five or six households next to it. The surrounding area is also quite large, probably more than ten acres. Let's see if they will sell such a large area. If they don't, we can bargain and cut the price in half."

A Guang was shocked. "Is it necessary to be so big?"

"I not only want to build a house and a yard, but also a warehouse. I am also thinking about whether I should move the drying work here in a few years? After all, this place is close to the market, which saves transportation. In addition, there is little open space in our village. The two small workshops only have two or three acres of land."

The most important thing is that when the time comes, it will be mechanized, the site will be larger, and the dryer and other things will be put inside the site. There will be no need to dry in the open air, and the labor can be reduced. It is equivalent to forming a small factory, not a workshop.

However, this is just his short-term idea. The village probably won't sell such a large piece of land. Anyway, let's talk about it first, and there will be room for bargaining at that time.

It's OK to cut it in half, and we can expand it later if we have the chance, just keep buying.

Or we can bring Director Chen to talk about it, as long as we have informed the superiors.

A Guang was silent for a while, "You think far ahead."

"This is inevitable. The workshop at home is indeed too small, but there is no large open space besides the beach. It is originally a corner surrounded by mountains and sea."

"Well, then let's go to the village chief later?"
