The tractor drove to the reed ditch, and the driver turned his head and told the girl that there was a team four further forward. The girl asked the driver to stop, she got out of the car and asked the driver to wait here, and she went to do something by herself.
Li Qiang got off school first than Li Juan. He and other classmates walked back and walked to the ditch in front of the reed ditch. When he saw other children catching fish here, several people immediately took off their shoes and joined in.
The water inside leaked from the little seazi above, and there were also some crucian carp seeds, which grew up as well.
For a while, Xiao Haizi did not leak down, and the water in the puddle here was less, and the fish was exposed.
Children do not necessarily catch fish for food, they just want to be fun. The children of the fourth team did not short of fish. Every once in a while, the team would release water from Xiao Haizi to the canals of each residential area in order to water the vegetable fields they ordered.
These canals will carry fish, so basically you can catch fish in the vegetable fields of each family every once in a while.
Even occasionally, you can catch large crucian carp pieces.
It is also very easy for children to catch fish. Some go into the water and reach out to touch it, while others throw water from the pit out with their hands. You can catch fish when you pour it.
After catching the fish, you will not throw it directly on the ground outside, but will dig a small pot of small pot next to the puddle, hold the water in, and then put the fish in.
Everyone has such a place to put fish. Li Qiang came from behind and caught more fish with his family. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he caught several of them in a while.
"Children, can you ask you something? I'll treat you to candy!"
When the girl walked here, she saw the children catching fish, so she stopped and saw that no one noticed her, so she shouted.
When several children heard that there was candy, they immediately stopped and turned their heads to look at the girl.
The girl was a little surprised and asked all the way, most of her questions about the children.
Whether in rural or urban areas, many children will come over when they hear there is candy.
Why are these kids so calm?
"Auntie, what are you asking?" Li Qiang always looked familiar when he looked at the girl. Although the other party was wearing a mask, his exposed eyebrows were quite familiar.
The girl's Mandarin is very standard, which dispelled Li Qiang a little bit of suspicion, but she still felt it was a bit weird.
"I want to ask if there is anyone in the team named Gu."
"There are many people with the surname Gu." Mingwa rushed to say, "Who are you asking?"
Li Qiang said another sentence:
"What are you doing?"
The girl smiled and took out a handful of candy from the small bag she carried with her and handed it over:
"Come on, one person has a candy."
"No."
Several children who were busy catching fish bent down and continued to catch fish. There are not many fish in this puddle, and everyone is thinking about catching one more.
Just like what the talk show said, I compete secretly and have no rewards, but whoever is the first is the most profitable.
Li Qiang shook the mud and water on his hand and asked:
"Who are you asking?"
"Gu Boyuan's family." The girl felt a little frustrated, and her candy offensive was useless.
Don’t these kids know this is sugar?
Or have you eaten too much, and the sugar is no longer attractive to them?
"Are you... a relative of the Gu family?" Li Qiangfu asked in his heart, "Your surname is Gu, too? Do you know Uncle Gu?"
"Uncle Gu...Uncle?" The girl was a little confused, "You... called him uncle?"
"Well, he calls my dad brother, then I don't have to call him uncle?" Li Qiang said proudly.
Mingwa next to him exposed his words:
"Then you have to call him Master! Your uncle married Gu Xiaoxia. If you call Gu Xiaoxia an aunt, then don't call him Master?"
"My dad and I are here!" Li Qiang said stubbornly. At this time, the child already knew that he had taken advantage of him - at least he had taken advantage of him verbally, so he almost started arguing with Mingwa.
The girl was confused.
The amount of information Mingwa just said was a bit large, which made her feel a little confused.
"Since you are a relative of Uncle Gu's family, I'll tell you, Uncle Gu is not in the team now, and he opens a shop in the county." Li Qiang felt that this was his own relative, so he wiped his mud hands on his clothes and turned his head to look I felt a little reluctant to see the fish, but I just talked and it was nothing for a while.
"Then the Xiaoxia he just mentioned..." the girl asked nervously.
It turns out that her name is Xiaoxia...
"You said that's my little aunt, she's not here either. She's eating commercial grain in the county..."
"What!" Mingwa rushed to say again, "Your aunt is about to give birth, should you ask for leave, right? How can you go to work with a big belly?"
"Are you going to give birth?" The girl felt a little unable to turn around.
How old is it?
I just graduated from college!
"I'm really about to give birth." Li Qiang nodded, "It should be just these few days?"
They didn't know that Li Jianguo and the others drove a tractor to Shicheng, but they just guessed here.
"Then can you take me to the Gu family to see it? The house I live in is still there, right?" the girl finally calmed down and asked.
"Okay." Li Qiang felt that his relatives must have helped him, so he said to Mingwa, "I've given my fish to you, I'm leaving." After that, he went to the grass to carry his schoolbag and lead the way in front of him.
The girl looked at Li Qiang's schoolbag, which was different from what she saw along the way, and was a little surprised.
"Did your aunt buy it for you?" In her thoughts, since Gu Xiaoxia is a state cadre, she must be richer than the farmers in the team. Ordinary farmers are reluctant to buy such a schoolbag, right?
"No, this is my uncle who bought it for me." Li Qiang said proudly, "When my uncle bought it for me, he and my aunt were not married yet. My uncle is rich..."
Speaking of Li Long, Li Qiang kept talking, including making money, catching fish, buying tractors, buying cars, etc.
The girl doesn’t really believe that a farmer who hasn’t even finished high school can have such great ability?
She had already made up her mind and always felt that it must be Gu Boyuan who helped Li Long or Li Long took advantage of Gu Xiaoxia.
Otherwise, how could a state cadre marry a farmer who has not finished school?
It is absolutely impossible to make such a person with himself.
When they arrived at the settlement in the east, someone would take the initiative to talk to Li Qiang and say hello to him. Of course, the main meaning was to make confusing words and know the identity of this girl.
Li Qiang's mouth is quite strict.
But among girls, it can be seen that Li Qiang is very popular among everyone. From this point of view, the girl thinks that there should be a relationship between Gu Xiaoxia.
When I arrived at the Gu family, the girl looked at the yard very neat, but obviously no one lived there. There was no vegetable growing in the vegetable fields and the stovetop was not cleaned.
Many yards here have no gates, so you can see them at a glance.
The girl slowly walked into the yard, looking at the same thing, and it seemed that the scene of Gu Boyuan and Gu Xiaoxia living here appeared in front of her.
Li Qiang was watching at the gate of the yard. Although he didn't know why the girl didn't speak, he felt that this person was not too happy.
More than ten minutes later, the girl came out of the yard and walked back with Li Qiang.
"Uncle Gu is not here, please go back to my home with me?" Li Qiang said, "There are people in my family."
"No, I'm short of time and I'm going back." The girl asked again, "What store does your Uncle Gu... do he open?"
"Agricultural resources store." Li Qiang knew this, "It's right at the intersection of the county street, and it's Tuanfeng Tower diagonally opposite it."
The girl still had some impression of Tuanfenglou and nodded. She couldn't wait to go over and take a look.
When she left, the girl stuffed the candy in her pocket to Li Qiang and walked west.
At this time, Li Juan came back on a bike and passed by the girl. She looked familiar with her, and then rode over and asked Li Qiang:
"Qiangqiang, who is that?"
"Relative of Uncle Gu's family." Li Qiang gave the candy to his sister and said while eating, "I just went to see Uncle Gu's yard. I asked her to get home, but she wouldn't go."
Li Juan felt it was not that simple, but when the girl left, it was difficult for her to stop her, so she took Li Qiang back.
The girl vaguely heard the conversation between Li Juan and Li Qiang, but she didn't care so much, what did it have to do with her?
Back at the tractor, she asked the driver to drive to the county. The driver naturally has no objection, this is considered a chartered car, just make money.
When the tractor arrived in the county, the sun was about to set. The girl paid the money and asked the tractor driver to leave. She went to find the agricultural supplies store.
Unfortunately, the door is closed.
The girl thought she was in the back yard, but she waited at the door for a long time without waiting for the movement, so she had to leave.
At night, the girl stayed in the guesthouse toss and turns and couldn't sleep.
The next day, the girl went to the post office and made a long-distance call.
"Mom, my dad is very good, but I haven't seen it yet...my sister is married and married to a farmer... Yes, yes, she seems to be giving birth soon...work? Yes, she is a state cadre. , I don’t know what cadres are...
My dad? He opened an agricultural supplies store and closed the store yesterday when I went there... Don't worry, I won't let them see me, I just want to see if I can recognize it..."
挂了电话，女孩出门，在附近找了个地方吃了早餐，然后再次去往农资商店。
Yesterday, Gu Boyuan asked Li Jianguo to drive a tractor to Shicheng Second Hospital. Seeing his daughter's haggard appearance, he really wanted to beat Li Long.
Although it is very likely that it will not be able to beat.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Of course, he believed that if Li Long was beaten, this kid would not dare to hide or resist.
Fortunately, it can be seen that both Liang Yuemei and Li Long are taking care of Xiaoxia here and are dedicated.
Looking at his two grandchildren, Gu Boyuan also knew that this was good, or rather, it was already very good.
The hospital was unable to stay for a long time. When the sun was about to set, Li Long and Liang Yuemei asked them to go back quickly.
Mainly, Li Jian has children and a large stall of pigs and chickens in the country.
Gu Boyuan wanted to stay, but to be honest, he couldn't help his wife with giving birth to a child, and he didn't know what to do. Staying there was really no use.
So he came back with the tractor.
This morning, after dinner and opening the store, the expression on my face was happy and sad, which scared all the customers who came here.
The customer was not sure about the situation and hurriedly left after buying something.
The old man in the yard next door came to chat. Seeing Gu Boyuan's expression, he asked in confusion:
"Lao Gu, what's wrong with you? Is this shocking? Did you lose something? Or have you dreamed?"
"Then... no." Gu Boyuan's complex mood was that he was happy that he had two more grandchildren and worried about his daughter's health. He didn't know if there would be any sequelae.
The old man next door had a good relationship with him. When the business was slow, the two of them played chess together. There were too many fish sent by the fourth team, so he would give the old man some of it if he put it here.
Not a stranger, Gu Boyuan told the story of his daughter having children.
"That's a good thing, two grandsons, your son-in-law is so lucky!" the old man said with a smile, "When will you treat us to red eggs?"
"We have to wait for discharge." Gu Boyuan smiled, "Then I'm born with a weak body, and I'm hospitalized."
"That's I have to stay in the hospital for two more days..." The old man said and looked at a place that stopped moving.
Gu Boyuan photographed him:
"What's wrong with you?"
"Look... why do you look so much like your daughter?" The old man pointed to the front.
"What are you talking nonsense? Isn't Xiaoxia in the hospital... Huh? It's really similar..."
The girl was not very surprised to hear Gu Boyuan say that Xiaoxia had two children, but the old man's actions made her alert and she turned around and left in a hurry.
Although the person who looked at Gu Boyuan was much older than the photos of his mother, he could still recognize that this person was his father.
But at the moment, the mother did not let her recognize each other, so the girl had to leave in a hurry.
Gu Boyuan couldn't help but look at the girl's back and said:
"It's really a bit like..."
"Then don't you chase after me and see?" The old man pushed him.
"What are you chasing? Girls, what should I do if I chase them and scare people?" Gu Boyuan didn't think deeply, "We have more people in our country, so it's normal to look like a little..."
When a customer came to buy pesticides, he went into the store to get the goods and find money for people.
After finding the money, he sat at the counter, and Gu Boyuan's mind was still the back of the girl.
He stood up suddenly, ran out, and when he looked south, there was no longer the girl's back.
When Li Jianguo and the others returned to the team yesterday, it was already dark.
Li Juan and Li Qiang were at home. Mrs. Lu fed pigs and chickens. She originally asked them to go to the house for dinner, but Li Juan refused and cooked vegetables with her younger brother.
By the way, Li Juan can already cook simple meals at this time.
When Li Jianguo and the others came back, Li Qiang also told Li Jianguo what happened today.
"Are you talking about a person who looks strangely like your little aunt running over to see the Gu family's yard?" Li Jianguo was a little surprised when he heard this, "Where is that person?"
"Let's go, I'll get me candy." Li Qiang said.
When Mrs. Lu came over to see Li Jianguo and the others coming back, she also came from the opposite door and asked about Gu Xiaoxia's situation. Then she also said that many people in the team saw a girl who looked quite like Xiaoxia to visit the Gu family's yard.
Li Jianguo felt that this matter was not simple, so he planned to have time to talk to Gu Boyuan.
"Dad, did my aunt give birth to two little brothers?" Li Qiang was more interested in giving birth to a child and asked.
"Yes, you will have two younger brothers in the future. Then you have to learn to take care of your younger brother." Li Jianguo said casually, and then said to his father and mother:
"Tomorrow we have to clean up the front yard. Xiaoxia is going to be in confinement, so we didn't ask where we were. If we want to be on the team, the front yard house has to be cleaned up. If we want to be in the county yard, then There should be someone cleaning up around, so we don’t have to worry about that much.”
"Hey, I can't help either." Du Chunfang actually wanted to stay in the hospital for care, but there was really no one left there. Liang Yuemei and Li Long asked her to come back and didn't have to stay there.
Although it was almost dark, many people in the team came to ask. The incident of Gu Xiaoxia giving birth to two sons has spread in the team, and those who have a far-reaching relationship can be envious. If you are closer, you have to prepare what you want to give when you look at the person.
The next day, Li Jianguo and the others went to the front yard to clean up. Take out the quilt inside and dry it on, and the stove in the room will be filled again. Because Gu Xiaoxia is weak, Li Jianguo also plans to collect a few chickens in the team and stew them from time to time to make up for them.
If Liang Yuemei wants to be at home, she should have arranged these things, but now she is in the hospital, Li Jianguo has to arrange them.
As for whether Gu Xiaoxia can live or not, that is another matter. As the eldest brother of the Li family, he must prepare this place.
The Li family has been a child, and the whole family has been happy these days, and even Li Qiang can spend a few cents more pocket money when he was in school.
He was also thinking about what gifts he would give him when he met his two little cousins.
Shicheng Hospital itself is famous for its medical technology at least in the surrounding areas. Gu Xiaoxia has no major problems with giving birth, but she is weak.
Living in the hospital, she was treated by a doctor, Li Long boiled Chinese medicine, Li Xia stewed chicken soup, and Liang Yuemei's care. After a week, her body recovered almost and she could be discharged from the hospital.
Now she has become friends with He Yulian in the same ward. He Yulian's mother is taking care of her here. Qin Liben is already going to work and will come over after get off work in the afternoon.
He Yulian did not hide her envy for Gu Xiaoxia. She even quietly told Gu Xiaoxia that if it weren't for this child, she would have thought of getting a divorce.
After all, Qin Liben and his family did too much to give birth to a child this time. Until now, Qin Liben's mother and other relatives have never come to see her again.
Gu Xiaoxia could only comfort her, and she couldn't do anything.
In private, Li Long also told Gu Xiaoxia that he could not control such things, and he could not care about them. He should respect the fate of others.
After all, in this era, divorce rarely happens, and most people, especially women, will endure it for their children.
In fact, after twenty years of release, I will definitely leave.
But Li Long couldn't persuade him openly, after all, this was the general trend at this time.
Besides, his current main energy is on his wife and two children. He has to change his diapers eight times a day. If it weren't for Liang Yuemei's help, Li Long would have collapsed.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxia wanted to help, Li Long refused to let her keep it well.
So both the doctor and nurse and He Yulian next to him praised Li Long and praised him.
Such husbands and fathers are rare these days.
Finally, on the eighth day after Gu Xiaoxia gave birth to the child, and on the twelfth day of hospitalization, the doctor signed her to discharge her. (This chapter ends)
