Song Huaiqian and the others received a call from Zhao Ruozhu in the afternoon when Yu Xiangnian gave birth to the child.
When they heard that they were a pair of twins, the old couple were so shocked and delighted that they were speechless for a long time!
But they heard that Cheng Jingmo had gone to the border, and the return date was not yet determined, and the old couple felt extremely guilty.
At that time, Yu Xiangnian should have been taken to Beijing to have the baby! How can a woman give birth to a baby and her husband can’t even go to the hospital?
Now Cheng Jingmo was on a temporary mission, disrupting the original plan.
Lin Yunyi took leave from school the next day and took the train to Nancheng again.
It just so happened that Yu Xiangnian was discharged from the hospital today, and the family returned to the family home.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Comrade Yu, you are so good at giving birth. You give birth to two children at once, one boy and one girl!"
The family members who came to visit Yu Xiangnian in the family courtyard all said this with envy.
"He looks a lot like Deputy Commander Cheng!"
"I look like Comrade Yu!"
"No way! Look at how wide his forehead is. He looks exactly like Deputy Commander Cheng!"
"That mouth doesn't look like Deputy Commander Cheng, it looks like Comrade Yu!"
"And these fingers are thin and long, just like Comrade Yu!"
"······"
Listening to the discussions of the family members, Yu Xiangnian looked at the two babies on the bed. Why couldn't she tell who they looked like?
However, these two babies change every day.
It was dark and purple the day I was born, but now it is whiter every day than the day before.
The two children are very good at eating. A 500-gram bag of milk powder was eaten in a few days.
Lin Yunyi asked Song Huaiqian to find some milk stamps and mail them, and the Yu family would find someone to exchange them for the milk stamps whenever they had the chance.
The two hens at home were slaughtered to replenish Yu Xiangnian's health.
Children in confinement are easy to take care of. Except for when they are hungry or have diarrhea, they will hum a few times and basically sleep.
In mid-October, when Yu Xiangnian was born, both children had grown to eight pounds.
Song Huaiqian and Lin also came. This time they wanted to take Yu Xiangnian and their children back to Beijing.
The family is together for easy care.
On the day of farewell, Zhao Ruozhu and Yu Xiangguo were the only ones to see them off.
"Go on, I feel relieved that you are with them." Zhao Ruozhu said with red eyes.
Yu Xiangnian asked: "Where is my dad?"
In fact, she just wanted to know the current situation of Cheng Jingmo and the others.
"I haven't seen your dad for more than a week." Zhao Ruozhu comforted her, "Don't worry, Cheng Jingmo and the others will be fine."
Lin Yunyi held the eldest child, Yu Xiangnian held the second child, and Song Huaiqian, Lin Ye, and Xiaojie carried large and small bags on their backs and boarded the train to Beijing again.
Zhao Ruozhu stood on the platform and waved to the train, "We're here, call home!"
Yu Xiangnian choked, "Mom, go back, I will."
Lin Ye was also choked, "Dad, is there going to be a war?"
Song Huaiqian said in a deep voice: "Xiaoye, don't talk nonsense outside!"
He works in a central ministry and knows some inside information. This battle will probably have to be fought!
As a father, as soon as he got to know his son, his son went to war, which made him feel even more uncomfortable!
At this time, Cheng Jingmo and the others had been active in the dense forest for more than a month.
A regiment sounds like a lot of people, but in such a large area of primeval forest, if it wasn't for radio contact, we wouldn't have met our comrades who came with us.
Yu Xiangyang cursed and pulled out a ten-centimeter leech from the back of his neck, "Fuck! I'll roast you!"
The leech crawled onto Yu Xiangyang's neck at some unknown time, and its whole body swelled with suction.
As soon as Yu Xiangyang pulled it off, a lot of bright red blood came out from where he was bitten on the back of his neck.
Cheng Jingmo quickly took out the medicinal powder and sprinkled it on his wound, "Look, did you find anything crawling in his clothes?"
Yu Xiangyang flipped through his clothes casually, "No."
Cheng Jingmo said: "Be careful yourself, if you continue like this, there won't be enough powder."
Yu Xiangyang became anxious and cursed: "Damn it! If you want to fight, fight quickly. I get bitten by insects and leeches every day. I really want to kill them!"
Cheng Jingmo asked: "What is your mission?"
Yu Xiangyang: "..."
His mission is not to fight, but to find out the terrain and provide intelligence to the headquarters.
The forest is full of towering trees, blocking out the sky and the sun. Even though the sun has just set, the forest is already so dark that you can't see anything more than ten meters away.
Cheng Jingmo and the others were in a group of five. There was not even a cave here, so they could only rest against the tree trunks for a while at night.
It is also very unsafe to rely on tree trunks, not to mention mosquitoes, leeches, and sometimes venomous snakes.
It's been a long time since everyone had a good night's sleep.
"You guys can rest, I'll be on duty." Cheng Jingmo said.
"Deputy Cheng, it's my turn to be on duty today!" a soldier said.
Cheng Jingmo said: "I can't sleep anyway, I just have to be on duty and you can rest!"
Yu Xiangyang said dissatisfiedly: "You stayed up all night long. Do you want to practice some invincible magic? Tonight, you must rest!"
Cheng Jingmo didn't want to waste everyone's time arguing here, "Okay, okay, I'm taking a rest! Stop talking, let's all take a rest!"
Cheng Jingmo leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes, and imagined what his daughter would look like.
There was only a vague idea in his mind. Cheng Jingmo couldn't imagine what his daughter looked like.
They have been born for more than a month now. How old are they? How long is your hair? How much milk should I eat every day? How many times do you cry every day? ······
Suddenly, there was a cold feeling behind his ears, and Cheng Jingmo raised his hand to touch it.
"Fuck!" He couldn't help but curse.
He pulled the leech that was crawling behind his ear hard and smashed it to the ground.
Because their sleeves and trouser legs were all tied tightly, insects could not get in and could only attack their exposed necks and behind their ears.
When Yu Xiangyang knew that Cheng Jingmo had been bitten by a leech, he said angrily: "How could there be such a disgusting thing in the world!"
Cheng Jingmo replied: "Biodiversity."
"What?!" Yu Xiangyang has never heard of biological diversity.
Cheng Jingmo said: "Read more books when you are free, and don't always be silly climbing trees and riding bicycles!"
In fact, he didn't read this word in a book, it was Yu Xiangnian who told him.
Yu Xiangyang muttered, "You dislike me now? Did I dislike you before when you couldn't even write your name?!"
Cheng Jingmo added: "Don't always mention the past, look at things from a development perspective."
Yu Xiangyang: "..."
After being stunned for a while, he said, "Shut the fuck up! You are more disgusting than a leech!"
Cheng Jingmo whispered back: "You are disgusting too!"
