Chapter 356 The birth of the child
“Brother, these are yours.”
Lin Heng returned to the house and gave him his portion.
"Thank you, brother. Actually, I think I took a little too much." Lin Yue said embarrassedly.
“According to the established principles, it will not be too much at all.” Lin Heng waved his hand and said.
"Then I'm not welcome. Ever since I bought a gun after listening to your advice, brother, I can now be considered a thousand-yuan household." Lin Yue said happily.
Lin Heng said with a smile: "Brother, this is all your own efforts, but if you want to save money, I suggest you save it in Yuan Datou or gold."
"This is for What?" Lin Yue asked curiously, he had indeed been saving money.
“Because all you save is paper money, it will be inflationary, and Yuan Datou and gold are both rare treasures, and they will still be hard currency after inflation.”
Lin Heng explained If you think about it again, if you save 100 yuan now, it will still be 100 yuan ten years from now, but your purchasing power will have been drastically changed.
And if you save 100 yuan in gold, you won't lose a lot even if there is deflation in ten years.
Some people don’t understand this truth. They save a lot of money, but later find that their purchasing power has been drastically reduced.
After listening to Lin Heng’s explanation, Lin Yue finally understood what it meant: “I understand, then I will replace it with Yuan Datou and gold soon.”
“I will accompany you later. You go." Lin Heng nodded and sorted out his money again.
He received 2,310 yuan from the sale of bear bile, bear skin, and bear paws, 300 yuan from the bear meat, and 1,800 yuan from the musk.
In total, he earned a total of 4,400 yuan this time, which is a huge income.
There were more than 15,000 yuan in the bankbook before, and the total was 20,000 yuan.
This deposit figure is the same as when he sold 100-year-old ginseng. The difference is that now Lin Heng has an additional factory in his hands.
However, of the 4,410 yuan he earned this time, he only saved 2,410 yuan, leaving the remaining 2,000 yuan for home use, so he didn’t have to bother withdrawing it again when he needed it.
The main reason why he doesn't exchange his money for Yuan Datou or gold is that he knows the future development and only needs to turn the money into assets at the right time.
After saving the money, Lin Heng took his eldest brother to exchange the money for gold, and then drove him back to the village in a tricycle.
It was already past two in the afternoon when he came down again. Xiongba is lying at the door, Xiaoxia is playing with it, and Xiulan is sorting out her clothes.
"Tomorrow I will take you to the hospital for a check-up and see how things are going." Lin Heng walked into the room and looked at Xiulan and said.
"Okay." Xiulan nodded in agreement, and then said, "I'm not very good at using the gas stove, please tell me."
"This is very simple, you and I’ll come.”
Lin Heng pulled Xiulan into the kitchen. Many things in urban life are different from those in rural areas.
In this era, the most commonly used stoves in the city were briquette stoves, followed by the newly popular gas stoves. Lin Heng’s family used gas tanks.
Xiulan was briefly taught how to use it, and she learned it quickly. Lin Heng didn't let her cook either, so he fried two dishes and made rice.
There is no central heating in winter in the city now, and the winter is much colder than in later generations. Winter is particularly difficult for the poor. Heating relies on roasted coal briquettes, but they are not very cheap.
Lin Heng bought a closed coal stove today. The chimney leads to the window. The advantage of this is that there is no need to worry about gas poisoning in the house.
The three of them had dinner around the small table next to the coal stove and went to bed early. Lin Heng read to Xiaoxia for a while, and the three of them fell into sleep.
Early the next morning, Lin Heng got up early to buy breakfast and came back. After eating, he took Xiulan Xiaoxia to the hospital.
After careful examination, the doctor said there was nothing wrong and asked him to go through the hospitalization procedures at the end of the month and prepare for delivery.
Xiaoxia also received a shot of vaccine by the way. She cried out in pain for a long time and huddled in Lin Heng's arms, unwilling to come down.
The following days were very ordinary. Life was more convenient in the city. Lin Heng took Xiulan Xiaoxia for a walk nearby from time to time.
As time went by, Xiaoxia also met new friends in the staff compound and played in the yard every day. Xiulan also met some women and occasionally had sex with them.
In addition to taking care of mother and daughter, Lin Heng also goes out from time to time, keeps in touch with some existing connections, and takes the initiative to make friends with potential people he knew in his previous life, so as to accumulate strength for future development.
Living in the city is just convenient for him to do these things.
In a blink of an eye, it was January 15th. A three-day heavy snowfall was just around the corner. The whole city was covered with white snow. The children got up early and had a snowball fight, while the workers were busy. Plowing snow from roads.
Lin Heng accompanied Xiulan to look at the snow, and then bought some needed baby supplies. They usually discussed the name of the child.
Life in the city is lively and lively, with open-air movie screenings from time to time, radios to listen to, and opera houses, theaters and other places to go.
Having tea and eating is very comfortable as long as you have money.
But it’s boring to say the least. The things we do every day seem to be the same, there is nothing new, and the bad air makes it impossible to appreciate the beautiful sky.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of January. Lin Heng paid for Xiulan to live in the best delivery room, and he accompanied her day and night.
Originally, I was supposed to pick up Caiyun and come down to help, but she had a cold and couldn't come, and her parents couldn't get away, so in the end this was the only way.
On February 5, 1985, there was another heavy snowfall. Lin Heng came back with breakfast as usual. Xiulan suddenly stopped when she was halfway through eating, looked at Lin Heng and said, "I'm going to give birth. Go and call the doctor."
"Then remember to finish your breakfast. You will still have the strength to give birth soon." Lin Heng stood up and looked at Xiaoxia, "Don't run around. Look at your mother here."
"Okay dad." Xiaoxia nodded and held her mother's hand, looking forward to it.
Lin Heng went out and called the doctor, and soon a female doctor and two nurses came over. After a preliminary inspection, they confirmed: "It's earlier than expected, but this is normal, contractions have started. "It's time to give birth."
"But don't worry, the birth will start after the amniotic water breaks. Let's make preparations first." The female doctor said and turned around to prepare things.
After the doctor left, Lin Heng took out the buns and fed them to her and said, "Xiulan, eat these two buns first. You will have to work hard for a long time later."
"Okay." Xiulan opened her mouth. After eating the steamed buns and drinking the remaining half cup of soy milk, she grabbed Lin Heng's book and felt a little excited, "Can you tell me whether it will be a boy or a girl, or a twin boy and a girl?"
< br>At this time, her heart became more and more excited, and she couldn't control it.
"It's okay, no matter what happens, don't be nervous." Lin Heng said, holding her hand.
She comforted Xiulan. After a while, the female doctor was also ready. She brought all kinds of tools and prepared to deliver the baby.
Lin Heng had already taken the initiative to get to know this female doctor named Chu, and even gave her several gifts. The relationship between the two parties was quite harmonious.
Dr. Chu, who was in his thirties, looked at Lin Heng and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin Heng, are you sure you want to accompany the delivery here? I actually don't recommend accompanying the delivery because it may It will cause you physical discomfort and affect your future relationship as a couple.
"Can you use a curtain to cover the lower part? I will accompany Xiulan and not watch the delivery process. "Lin Heng looked at her and said.
He knew what Dr. Chu said. It's better not to be so curious about some things, such as things like his wife giving birth. It would be difficult for a man who watched it to have sex with his wife again. Sexual interest in the same room. Although he has been a man for two generations, he still does not want to challenge himself.
"Of course." Dr. Chu smiled and nodded. Others would not be so easy to talk to, but Lin Heng spent real money.
She turned around and asked the female nurse to come over with a curtain. Lin Heng and Xiaoxia held Xiulan's hand in front and looked at her while the doctor guided the delivery.
Because it was her second pregnancy and delivery, it was easier than the first time. But even so, Xiulan was still sweating profusely during the delivery process, and big beads of sweat kept rolling down.
“Wow!”
At 11:53 in the morning, accompanied by loud cries, Lin Heng’s second child was born.
"Lin Heng, congratulations. It's a boy. He's very cute." Doctor Chu wrapped the child and placed it next to Xiulan.
The newborn little guy was wrinkled and his skin had not yet unfolded, but his cry was loud and clear.
Next to her, Xiaoxia looked at this strange brother with big eyes and curiosity without saying anything. She was scared when she saw a baby for the first time.
“Good boy!” Lin Heng said with a smile, waving his hand to tease the little guy.
"Haha~" Lin Heng teased it, and it stopped crying. It looked at Lin Heng, Xiulan and Xiaoxia curiously, as if it was sizing up this strange world.
Xiulan was also very happy. She now had a son and a daughter. He looked at Lin Heng and said, "Then his name will be Luming, right?"
"Yes, his name will be Lin Luming." Lin Heng agreed with a smile. He said that his family had escaped from a difficult situation. If there was no genealogy in his generation, he would not know the names behind it. Now he just uses it at will.
“Wow ah ah~”
The two were talking, and the newborn little guy started crying again.
“Try harder.” Dr. Chu said again, the third child was about to be born.
"Wow wow wow~~"
At 11:54, accompanied by a sharp cry, the third child was born.
"Lin Heng, congratulations, your second son is also a son."
Soon Doctor Chu came over with the child in his arms and placed the little guy next to his second child.
Unlike the second child, the third child kept crying, which made the boss cry too. The two of them cried one after another, making people feel like their eardrums were being shattered.
"Haha, thank you Dr. Chu for your hard work." Lin Heng laughed heartily. Two sons are definitely a great joy for him.
“Thank you wife, it’s so tiring to be pregnant with twins.” Dr. Chu said with a smile and put Xiulan on the sling bottle.
Lin Heng wiped the sweat from Xiulan's face and said with a smile: "It's so hard to give birth to two sons in a row."
Xiulan turned her head slightly and looked at The second-born son said: "Hurry up and name your second child."
Lin Heng said with a smile: "Then let's call him Lin Duheng. The second child comes from the Book of Songs, and the third child comes from Chu." The words are just right.”
The second one is taken from the poem "The deer roars, eating the apples in the wild" in the Book of Songs, and the third one is taken from the poem "The lotus house is full of flowers, and the Du Heng is shining in the sky". '
The two had discussed the name of the child a long time ago. Lin Heng suggested that they should find it from ancient poems. They selected eight names, four for boys and four for girls. .
Xiulan thought Lu Ming was good and gave it to her first son. Lin Heng chose Du Heng as the name for his second son.
"Then let's call him Du Heng. Lin Duheng sounds pretty good too." Xiulan said with a smile.
"Your name is very artistic and cultural. I think it is the best one." Dr. Chu praised. The name sounded very good at first sight and was completely unconventional.
"Haha, what you like is the best." Lin Heng smiled.
After the placenta was discharged and the delivery was completed, Dr. Chu checked the two little ones again and weighed them.
Because they are twins, the two fetuses are not very heavy. The second child, Lin Luming, weighs four pounds and nine taels, and the third child, Lin Duheng, weighs four pounds and five taels. They are much lighter than the average single fetus, but they are both within normal limits. within the weight range.
Wear them in the little clothes made by Xiulan herself. The skin of the two little guys has also stretched out, and they have become white, plump and very cute.
"My brother is so young!" Xiaoxia looked at the side curiously with her big eyes open. She was very happy that she finally had a brother.
It seemed that because Xiaoxia was too close, Lu Ming soon started to cry: "Wow wow wow!!"
Following him, the third child also started crying.
Xiaoxia was startled and looked up at Lin Heng: "What's wrong with my brother?"
"It's okay, they are hungry." Xiulan said with a smile, hugging the two children When I came to feed them, their crying stopped immediately after taking the milk.
The size of Xiulan can be eaten happily by two children. Xiaoxia looked at it curiously and had the urge to eat it too.
After Xiulan finished feeding the child, there was a knock on the door. After Lin Heng went out, he came in with a lunch box. He looked at Xiulan and smiled and said, "This is the supplement I asked the chef of Taibai Hotel to make." "Do you want me to feed you?"
"Feed me." Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said.
"Okay." Lin Hengsheng filled a bowl and fed it to Xiulan.
It mainly contains a turtle soup and a few snacks. The turtle comes from the old turtle caught by Lin Heng from the depths of the Black River. It is rich in nutrients and easy to digest. The yam and chestnuts in it are also made by Lin Heng himself. I brought it at home and just asked help to process it.
“Delicious.”
The delicious turtle soup whetted Xiulan's appetite. She drank two small bowls of soup and ate a lot of turtle meat and yams.
After serving Xiulan, Lin Heng handed the rest to Xiaoxia and ate a few snacks himself. Then the father and daughter looked around the two sleeping babies. Get up and look for their differences.
The two people seemed to be carved out of the same mold. The only difference was that the third child, Lin Duheng, had a black dot birthmark on his left arm.
It was still snowing outside the window, and the windows were half open. There were two briquette stoves in the room. Lin Heng held his daughter and looked at Xiulan and his two sons who were sleeping. He felt that his life was complete.
A magpie landed on the Dragon Claw Kui in front of the window, as if to announce good news. Lin Heng gradually became sleepy and fell asleep leaning on the bench.
During the few hours when Xiulan was giving birth, he was also highly concentrated, and now he was feeling sleepy.
“Wow wow wow!!”
During his sleep, Lin Heng was suddenly awakened by a loud cry.
