"elder brother……"
"Close the door first." Zhou Sen glanced at the study door and ordered.
Jiang Rou nodded, hurriedly walked over, closed the study door, came back, sat down, and said in a low voice: "Brother, the organization sent someone to contact me."
"This is a good thing. Who is the person who came to contact you again and what did he tell you?" Zhou Sen asked, "No, this is an organization secret. I shouldn't ask."
"Brother, you are not considered an outsider. Besides, I am alone now, and according to the tasks assigned by the organization, I am also under your leadership." Jiang Rou said.
Jiang Rou's original task was to be sent by the organization to Zhou Senlai as a transportation liaison. Although Zhou Sen was not a member of the Communist Party of China, he was affiliated with the Intelligence Department of the Comintern. Of course, she did not know that Zhou Sen was not even a member of the Soviet Communist Party.
Zhou Sen, a puppet Manchukuo agent with the exact identity of the Japanese Kwantung Army Intelligence Department, was doing intelligence work for the Chinese Communist Party, the Soviet Communist Party and even the military command, and he had no identity from any of the three parties.
He did not want to join the Soviet Communist Party and the military, and the Chinese Communist Party was not able to join for a while, which caused his current strange phenomenon.
"Brother, who do you think the contact is?"
"Then how could I have guessed? Could it be someone we know?" Zhou Sen was a little surprised when he heard this tone.
"That's right, it's someone we met, someone you didn't expect." Jiang Judao.
"An unexpected person?" Zhou Sen muttered to himself. The familiar people around him were also unexpected. He quickly went through the familiar people in his mind, and suddenly a person jumped into the room. in his mind.
This person fits the situation very well. Could it be him?
"I can't guess, just tell me, who it is?" Zhou Sen said.
"It's Sister Lan's senior brother, Mr. Ai Qing." Jiang Ju said.
Zhou Sen nodded. At this point in time, the only person they were familiar with who had just come to Ice City was Ai Qing.
He just didn't expect Ai Qing to be a member of the Chinese Communist Party. However, it was normal. The Thirteen Flying Eagles were an anti-Japanese armed force. The Anti-Japanese Alliance would naturally infiltrate to control and guide this anti-Japanese armed force. What's so strange about Ai Qing being a member of the Chinese Communist Party? ?
"You didn't mention my identity, did you?" Zhou Sen asked.
"No, I just connected with the organization and didn't say anything else." Jiang Rou said, "The organization sent him to get intelligence and supplies this time. He will be stationed in Ice City from now on."
"Where is your current organizational relationship?"
"We are led by the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese War and have a parallel relationship with the Bingcheng Special Committee." Jiang Rou explained.
"Okay, I will give you the information, and you will pass it on to him, but don't reveal my identity. This is also for my and his safety." Zhou Sen said.
"I understand. Right now, their Third Route Army is in urgent need of a batch of medicines. They had a lot of casualties in the anti-punitive war a while ago. Many of the wounded had no medicine to treat, and many people were sacrificed." Jiang Rou said.
"It is not easy to completely solve the drug problem. The Japanese are very strict on drugs, especially anti-inflammatory drugs for treating gunshot wounds. The sales and purchases are graded. There are often drugs flowing into the black market, but there is still a certain amount of money to buy. It’s risky. Even if you buy it, how to transport it is still a problem. It’s still the old way. I just provide them with the information about the medicine and let them pick it up by themselves. This is the safest way." Zhou Sen thought for a moment and said.
"Well, but will this make you suspicious?"
"I have a source of information, and it's very secretive. I won't be discovered. Don't worry, I won't disregard your own safety. I can figure out what's important." Zhou Sen nodded.
"Then I will tell him the next time we meet."
"Well, try to meet as little as possible, and find legitimate reasons for meeting. You are also a public figure. Even if there are no agents watching, the public will pay attention. Don't be careless." Zhou Sen reminded.
"I know, brother."
"I'll keep an eye on Qin Lang. Don't worry, I won't let him follow the same old path again." Zhou Sen saw Jiang Rou's hesitant expression and naturally understood her concerns.
"Thank you, brother."
"However, you still have to keep a certain distance from him and don't be too nice to him. He is a dog. You have to kick him twice to give him a bone. Otherwise, he won't be obedient." Zhou Mori taught.
"I know, brother." Jiang Rou smiled knowingly, got up and left.
…
"Xiaorou is worried about Qin Lang, right?" In the bathroom, Bai Yulan sat on a chair, enjoying Zhou Sen's gentle service.
With a big belly, I have to rely on others to take a bath.
"Well, Qin Lang's temper is still unstable, so we have to keep an eye on him to prevent him from going astray again." Zhou Sen said.
"It seems that Xiaorou is sincere to Qin Lang?" Bai Yulan said with a smile.
"It's still early for them to achieve perfection in cultivation." Zhou Sen said, "Xiaorou is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. It's not easy to agree."
"That's true, but are you too prejudiced against Qin Lang? I think he is a very nice person, much better than most men. At least he doesn't gamble or go whoring, and he's not easy to fight bravely now. It's simply The prodigal son will never be replaced by gold." Bai Yulan said.
"We are in serious business. Isn't it normal to be strict with those who are not serious?" Zhou Sen asked rhetorically.
"Okay, help me up..." Bai Yulan stretched out her hand, Zhou Sen lowered his head and gave her his shoulder, and then reached out to support her under her armpit.
This pregnant woman's body is heavy. Zhou Sen could easily pick up Bai Yulan before, but now it's a bit difficult.
And she was pregnant with twins, which were heavier than ordinary pregnant women.
"I don't know when these two boys will come out. My waist can't bear it anymore." Bai Yulan complained.
"It's almost, it's almost, don't worry, isn't it still within the due date? Maybe it will come out tomorrow."
Zhou Sen helped her put on clean pajamas, then helped her walk back to the bedroom from the bathroom, asked her to sit down, leaned her back against the bed, and lay down.
"Pour me a glass of warm water." Bai Yulan ordered.
"Okay, come on." Zhou Sen nodded. He was sweating just now, so he went to take a bath and take a shower, but now the sky is huge, and his wife and children are the biggest.
Zhou Sen got a glass of water for Bai Yulan and went to take a shower himself.
Only three to five minutes later, as soon as he put on his clothes and came out, he saw Bai Yulan lying on the bed, stroking her stomach, with a look of pain on her face, and beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.
Zhou Sen was shocked when he saw it. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "But she's about to give birth?"
Bai Yulan struggled to say: "I don't know, it just hurts from time to time, just like a knife..."
"Wait a moment, I'll call Aunt Chun and Axiang." When Zhou Sen heard this, he suddenly panicked. Could it be that he was about to give birth?
Zhou Sen quickly went out and called Aunt Chun and Axiang over. Ni Juan, who had production experience, also came over after hearing the news, as well as Jiang Rou, and all the women in the yard came.
Zhou Sen quickly asked Wu En to get up and ask for the midwife, while he asked Bai Yulan's aunt, who had given birth to several children and was more experienced.
Then the entire Ningxiang Pavilion started to move.
The midwife had already agreed that no matter when she was invited, she would come over and live not far away.
It's not necessary if you live too far away.
Soon Bai Yulan's aunt Bai Moer and uncle Cai Qingjiang also came over. Although Cai Qingjiang is not a midwife, he is a doctor at least. Even if he comes here to help, he can calm people's hearts a little.
When the midwife came and checked, she was indeed about to give birth.
The labor pains came again and again.
Fortunately, Bai Yulan's physical fitness is good. This ordinary woman would have run out of energy after a few struggles.
When a woman gives birth to a child, the elders must not stay in the house, and unmarried women are also kicked out.
Only the midwife, Bai Moer and Aunt Chun were left inside.
Although Ni Juan was married, after her child was miscarried, she married a heavy-smoking husband who was no longer able to have children.
She could only stay outside to prepare for the new life.
When a woman gives birth to a child, it is like walking through the door of hell. If you say you are not nervous, that is a lie. Zhou Sen has been a father for two generations, and this is his first time. He was also nervously pacing back and forth in the yard. He kept rubbing his hands.
Every heart-rending scream inside made him extremely worried, and he didn't know how long this process would last.
I don’t know how long it took, Zhou Sen got up, sat down, got up again, sat down again, his back was wet, then dry...
"ah!"
A sound of pain pierced the silent night sky. Zhou Sen shivered with fright and turned a little pale.
Then a clear baby cry came from the room.
Zhou Sen hurriedly came to the door and asked, "Auntie, how is Yulan?"
"Xiao Sen, don't worry, there's another one who hasn't come out yet, don't worry, Yu Lan is fine." Bai Mo'er's voice came from inside.
"I know, aunt, you must take good care of Yulan. Nothing will happen to her or the child." Zhou Sen said.
"Don't worry, once the first one comes out, the second one will be much easier."
"Sir, this is a wealthy lady." Aunt Chun came out holding a swaddling baby and handed it to Zhou Sen.
"Well, okay, you can help take care of the child first. I'd better stay here first." Zhou Sen glanced at the infant child. He was wrinkled and his eyes were closed. You could see the shadow of Yu Lan between his eyebrows. She should be a beauty when she grows up.
Aunt Chun agreed and took the child to the next room.
After more than ten minutes, I heard a surprised voice from my aunt Bai Mo'er inside: "Yu Lan, use a little more force, and it will come out with a handle!"
Then, another cry of "Wow" came out, the sound was loud and three points higher than the one just now.
After all, it is a boy who cries much louder than a girl.
Zhou Sen, who was outside the house, suddenly relaxed after taking a deep breath, and sat down on the steps. He felt as if he had collapsed.
God bless, everything goes well.
In the room, Bai Yulan, who had almost used the last bit of strength in her body, slowly opened her eyes: "Auntie, where is the child?"
"Here he is." Bai Mo'er said as she carried her newborn son to Bai Yulan.
"There is another one, where is my daughter?"
"Oh, I took him out for a bath. I will take this one over for a bath soon," Bai Moer explained.
Newborns are covered in blood and stains, so they need to be washed with boiled water and then warmed up. Otherwise, they will be dirty and uncomfortable for the baby himself.
"Where's Komori?"
"My uncle has been guarding outside. If it hadn't been for the red in the delivery room and men couldn't enter, he would have come in long ago." Bai Mo'er said.
Bai Yulan nodded.
Bai Mo'er took the baby out to take a bath, leaving the midwife to deal with the rest. Almost ten minutes passed.
The midwife had just finished packing and opened the door. Zhou Sen didn't care and just opened the door and walked in.
A woman who has just given birth must not take a bath. She can only wipe her body with a hot towel and put on clean clothes.
It's just that my hair can't be helped, it looks like it's just been washed.
"Yu Lan, how are you?" Zhou Sen came to the bed, leaned down, and asked with concern.
"Komori, thank you."
"Thank you for what I did. I should thank you." Zhou Sen said hurriedly, "I asked Axiang to stew the old hen for you. You can drink some of it later."
"Go and get some sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow. I have my aunt and Aunt Chun taking care of you. It'll be okay."
"It doesn't matter, it won't be long before dawn anyway, you'd better take a rest first, I'll be here with you." Zhou Sen grabbed Bai Yulan's hand and said.
While they were talking, Aunt Bai Moer and the midwife came in each holding a baby.
"Yu Lan, both little ones are very healthy. They were born less than twenty minutes apart. However, this girl beat me to it, and she must be my sister." Bai Mo'er said with a smile.
Bai Yulan raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Sen. She found that Zhou Sen's expression had not changed much and said, "Xiao Sen, what are you going to name your two children?"
"Let's call my daughter Nannan, and call my son Dian Dian." Zhou Sen said.
"This is your nickname. What about your nickname? Are you two still ready?" Bai Mo'er asked in surprise after hearing this.
"Okay, we're ready. We've discussed it. My daughter will have my last name, Zhou Lan, and my son will have Yu Lan's last name, and his name will be Bai Sen."
After hearing this, Bai Mo'er couldn't help but look at Bai Yulan in surprise. This son is carrying on the family line. Zhou Sen actually gave his son Bai Yulan's surname. This was really unexpected.
"Xiao Sen, didn't we agree that the first child born will have my surname, and the second one will have yours?" Bai Yulan was also surprised.
"I am an orphan with no relatives, and I am not the heir of a big family. There is no need to insist on inheriting the surname. Besides, this is not our first child. We can have another baby in the future!" Zhou Sen said, "The Bai family is here. Yu Lan's generation has been considered dead, and it would be great if it could continue its legacy."
Still alive?
When Bai Yulan heard this, her face suddenly turned pale. She really didn't want to suffer this kind of sin, which was a life-and-death experience.
"Xiao Sen, you go out first. I'll have a few words with Yu Lan." Bai Mo'er observed the words and quickly pushed Zhou Sen away.
"Okay, Gu, Yu Lan, if you need anything, call me. I'll be outside." Zhou Sen said as he walked out.
"knew."
When he came to the yard outside and looked at the bright sky, Zhou Sen took a deep breath. Now that he is a father, he will have more responsibilities on his shoulders. He must work hard.
