Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 435 The Twins

"Oh, that's it. I thought you were getting into trouble by leaving school, and you were kicked back."

After hearing what his brother said, Sheng Xiping felt relieved, as long as he wasn't driven back by others.

"No, brother, you have so little confidence in me? No matter what I do, I won't be chased back."

When Sheng Xitai heard this, he smiled bitterly. Is he such a bastard in the eyes of his elder brother? Can the school push her back?

It's obvious that he is very popular in school, okay? The teacher is protecting him.

Sheng Xiping rolled his eyes and thought to himself, you are the one who is always mischievous and fighting, who wouldn't be worried?

"Hurry inside, have you had dinner? We happen to be having dinner."

Sheng Xitai followed his brother into the house with his bag on his back. As he walked, he said, "I haven't eaten yet. We packed up our things in the afternoon and ran away quickly. We didn't have time to eat."

"Come in, I'll get another bowl." Sheng Xiping nodded and shouted into the room. "Dad, Mom, it's the sixth child who's back."

High school started on September [-]st, and today, September [-]th, Sheng Xitai has been away from home for nearly a month. He has never been away from home for such a long time since he was a child.

So the moment he entered the east room and saw his parents, the child felt aggrieved and went over to hug Zhang Shuzhen.

"Oh, Lao Liu, why are you back? Is this a holiday?"

Zhang Shuzhen was surprised and happy to see her son. She quickly put her arms around her son and asked with concern.

"Well, we have a sports meeting to catch up with the National Day. After the sports meeting in the afternoon, we will have a holiday. We can rest for two days."

Sheng Xitai sniffed and adjusted his mood. "Mom, I miss home and the food you cooked."

As the youngest in the family, Sheng Xitai has been pampered since he was a child. Even at such an old age, he still has to act coquettishly when he sees his mother.

Zhang Shuzhen hugged her son and laughed, "Look, how old he is, and he is still acting like a child. Aren't you afraid that Xinhua Xinyu will laugh at you?"

Although she said this, Zhang Shuzhen still raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and held her son tightly with her other hand without letting go.

"Oh, have you eaten? Come on, get on the kang and eat. I'll get you a bowl." Zhang Shuzhen suddenly remembered and asked hurriedly.

"Mom, I brought a bowl, please sit down quickly." Just at this time, Sheng Xiping came in with bowls and chopsticks to serve Sheng Xitai rice.

"It's a coincidence that you're in time. You just happened to kill two blind men today. It's true that foodies have long legs."

Sheng Xiping smiled and placed a bowl of rice in front of Sheng Xitai.

"That's all for tonight. Let's make do with it. Let's make some delicious food for you tomorrow."

"Thank you, brother." Sheng Xitai took the bowl with a smile, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Stir-fried bear legs with green peppers, soaked in oil, and stewed beans. There is no shortage of oil and water on the Sheng family table, and the stewed beans are full of oil and flavor.

Sheng Xitai hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time, so he took the bowl and kept eating it in his mouth.

"Oh, the food at home still tastes good. The food in the cafeteria is just awesome. It's tasteless and not meaty at all. I almost feel like a monk."

While eating, Sheng Xitai didn't forget to complain.

"You are just what you are used to at home. When I was in No. [-] Middle School, I had pickles all day long, or a pot of sauerkraut soup or potato soup. There were no vegetables in it, it was all soup."

Sheng Xiping put some meat from his and Qian'er's meat into his brother's bowl and said with a smile.

When Sheng Xiping was studying, life was more difficult.

Usually, I carry big pancakes, big pancakes, pickles, and miso from home, and go to the canteen to get a bowl of hot soup when I eat.

When Sheng Xiping said this, Sheng Xitai became embarrassed and put rice into his mouth with a smile.

When Zhang Shuzhen saw this, she quickly picked up the vegetables and put them in Sheng Xitai's bowl.

"Oh, eat slowly. Looking at you eating like this, I would have thought you had been hungry for days."

Fortunately, Zhang Shuzhen was always afraid of not having enough food when cooking, so she cooked more every time. When Sheng Xitai suddenly came back, his food was not missing, and others were not hungry either.

After dinner, Sheng Xitai hugged his two nephews, leaned on the kangqin, and listened to the radio. Alas, this is called life.

Sheng Xitai is on vacation and it’s National Day, so he must make something delicious at home.

The next day, Zhang Shuzhen chopped a lot of meat, chopped two cabbages, and made dumplings.

At noon on October [-], Zhang Shuzhen baked a large pile of scallion pancakes with bear oil, fried meat sauce, pickled vegetables and shredded pork for her youngest son, boiled salted duck eggs, and marinated a piece of meat.

There is a bag full of food, which can last for about five or six days.

In addition, Zhang Shuzhen packed some thick clothes for her son, including sweaters, woolen pants, thick coats, and thin cotton-padded jackets, all packed up.

I’m not sure when I’ll come back next time. The weather is changing rapidly from now on, and I’m not sure when it will cool down.

Prepare the clothes that need to be prepared in advance to avoid freezing when the temperature drops.

During the day, the loudspeaker of the forest farm shouted. At three o'clock in the afternoon, we gathered at the small train station, and the forest farm sent out commuter buses to take the children back to school.

There's no way, the Sentinel train runs once every three days, and sometimes it's impossible to catch up.

Even if they did, they would leave in the morning. Children rarely come back from vacation. Who wants to go back to school in the morning?
  The three forest farms, Maekuan, Shengli, and Shuguang, discussed it and decided that during the monthly school holidays, the three forest farms would use commuter buses to pick up students in shifts, which would be more convenient.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, students from various families gathered at the small train station and saw that everyone was carrying things of all ages.

With the care and expectations of their parents, the students once again embarked on their educational journey and returned to school.

Sheng Xiping also went down with the commuter bus and gave some bear meat to his father-in-law. Then he hurried back to the station and took the bus back to the forest farm.

A few days after the students returned to school, the teacher announced the monthly exams. The children were a little distracted after the holiday. It was good now. They all had numb claws and hurriedly endorsed and reviewed.

The chaotic monthly exams are over, and everyone’s results and learning attitude are clear at a glance.

Those with good grades must be looked down upon by the teacher, while those with poor grades must be talked to by the teacher one by one.

At this time, high school was still a two-year system. The newly established Pine Forest High School had a total of [-] classes and [-] students in two grades.

Sheng Xitai's grades were good. He ranked first in his class and sixth in the school in his first monthly exam.

There are a total of [-] to [-] students in the first-year high school department. It is not easy to stand out among them.

Sheng Xitai is a boy who is very discerning and sweet-tongued. He was originally liked by the head teacher and teachers of various subjects, but once his results came out, the teachers became even more curious about him.

In particular, this boy also has a lot of notes, study materials, etc. left by his brothers and sisters.

He was not stingy either. He would talk to others about their problems and lend notes to others when they came.

For a time, Sheng Xitai became the favorite in the class, and everyone, regardless of boys or girls, was happy to get along with him.

Sheng Xitai is like a fish in water in high school, doing well, and his family feels more at ease.

It got cold early this year. In mid-October, the first snow fell in the Changbai Mountain area.

Although the temperature rose and melted again within two days after the snowfall, the weather was still chilly.

On October [-]th, there was another heavy snowfall, which was more than a foot deep. This snow basically did not melt and stopped.

Therefore, the winter production of Qianchuan Forest Farm this year is earlier than in previous years.

On October [-]th, a production mobilization meeting for winter sports was held, and on the [-]th, frontline workers went to the new cutting-edge area.

Sheng Liancheng has not yet reached retirement age, so he still has to work in the mountains. Together with Wang Jianshe's father, he guards the generator warehouse in day and night shifts.

This job is not tiring, but I can’t leave casually.

Sheng Xiping no longer has to work in the mountains, but he doesn't stop either.

In winter, there are many orders from southern customers for all kinds of logs and wood products, and Sheng Xiping has to coordinate shipments from them.

So I frequently traveled between Qianchuan and Songjiang River, and sometimes went to other forest farms. I was busy all day long.

As a result, there are only Zhang Shuzhen and Sheng Xinhua Sheng Xinyu in the family, a woman with two children.

Fortunately, there were four dogs at home. At night, Zhang Shuzhen let the four dogs loose and let them run around in the yard.

These dogs in the Sheng family are all good-looking and very fierce. Even if someone dares to touch them, they can't get past the dogs.

At the end of November, Zhou Qinglan, who was far away in the provincial capital, was eight months pregnant, but with a belly that looked like she was about to give birth, she participated in the school's thesis defense.

Zhou Qinglan has always performed very well during her time in school, with excellent academic performance.

In addition, Chen Ruiqing had greeted her in advance, so when the colonel leaders and tutors during the thesis defense saw Zhou Qinglan in such a state, no one made it difficult for her, and she passed the thesis defense easily.

After the thesis defense, the whole class went to celebrate together, and then they waited for the graduation certificate and took graduation photos.

As the first and only class of college students graduating in winter, this is very memorable.

We all took a lot of photos together and made an agreement to get together every five years and every ten years. No matter where we are assigned after graduation, we can't lose contact with each other.

Zhou Qinglan's belly was obviously much bigger this time. She went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said she was probably pregnant with two children.

Moreover, when Zhou Qinglan gave birth to her two boys, she had the experience of giving birth prematurely.

So as soon as December entered, Zhang Shuzhen urged Sheng Xiping to settle her affairs quickly and take leave early to go to the provincial capital to accompany Zhou Qinglan.

Sheng Xiping was also worried about his wife, so he took the time to arrange things at the processing factory, and contacted Hou Yashuang, Sheng Xiyun and others. He said he should not rush to ship the goods recently.

On the afternoon of December [-]th, Sheng Xiping took a car to Songjiang River. After staying one night at his father-in-law's house, he got on the train to Hunjiang on the morning of the [-]th.

In the evening, I reversed my car and headed to the provincial capital. Normally I would arrive at the provincial capital at around [-] a.m. on the [-]th.

Before Sheng Xiping arrived, Zhou Qinglan woke up early in the morning on the [-]th and felt that her stomach was uncomfortable, sinking heavily, and her waist was sore.

I had to go to school, but I simply stopped going.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Qinglan was about to go out to use the toilet when she suddenly felt something was wrong, as if her amniotic water had broken.

"Aunt Li, my stomach hurts a little. It seems that the amniotic water has broken." Zhou Qinglan quickly called Aunt Li.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Li quickly came over to check Zhou Qinglan, and sure enough, her amniotic water broke.

"Oh, you are about to give birth. I remember your due date is not early January? Why is it so far in advance?"

Aunt Li was also a little panicked. She quickly helped Zhou Qinglan sit down and then went to pack her things. “Oh, Qingyue has classes this morning and has gone to school. What should we do?”

No one expected Zhou Qinglan to start so many days in advance, and no one was prepared.

Zhou Qingyue was about to have his final exam and did not dare to delay class. He went to school after dinner in the morning. There were only Aunt Li and Zhou Qinglan at home.

Aunt Li is old and thin. It would be too difficult for her to take Zhou Qinglan to the hospital alone.

"Qinglan, you sit here for now. I'll go out to find someone. I'll see who's in the neighborhood and help me take you to the hospital."

Aunt Li comforted Zhou Qinglan, turned around and walked out to find someone.

At this moment, someone came in from outside. It was Shao Minzhi who was carrying something to see Zhou Qinglan.

When Aunt Li saw Shao Minzhi, she saw her savior, "Oh, Minzhi, hurry up, Qinglan's amniotic water has broken and she's about to give birth."

Multiparous women give birth much faster than first-time mothers. Zhou Qinglan has already given birth to two children, so this pregnancy cannot be delayed and must be rushed to the hospital.

As soon as Shao Minzhi heard this, she hurriedly ran into the house carrying her things.

When he entered the room, he saw Zhou Qinglan holding her waist with one hand and covering her stomach with the other. Her face was pale. She looked like she was in pain and trying to endure it.

"Qinglan, don't be afraid. It's okay. My sister-in-law is here. Just wait, I will find someone to find a car and take you to the hospital."

While talking, Shao Minzhi asked Aunt Li to stay with Zhou Qinglan. She quickly went out, found the neighbors on the left and right, and asked them to help stop the car.

Then, Shao Minzhi came back to the house, helped Zhou Qinglan get dressed properly, and packed up all the things needed for the birth and hospitalization.

Just then, a neighbor helped find a donkey riding backwards from the street. Shao Minzhi held the bag in one hand and helped Zhou Qinglan get into the car with the other.

Aunt Li and two neighbors also helped get everything into the car. Then Aunt Li got into the car and the neighbors helped lock the door.

"Master, go to the Provincial Hospital." Shao Minzhi shouted towards the cyclist.

The other party nodded and pressed the car bell in front of him several times.

After a crisp sound, the owner of the car pedaled hard and sent Zhou Qinglan and his party to the nearest provincial hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Shao Minzhi paid the fare, and Aunt Li helped Zhou Qinglan get out of the car and walk into the hospital.

The owner of the car saw that the three women were carrying a lot of things in large and small packages. Zhou Qinglan also had a big belly, so he simply set up the car and helped carry the things inside.

"Doctor, nurse, someone is going to have a baby." Shao Minzhi shouted as she helped Zhou Qinglan into the hospital.

There was nothing she could do. At this moment, Zhou Qinglan's stomach was already feeling tight and painful, and her palms were sweaty due to the pain in the winter.

After all, Shao Minzhi had given birth to two children. She knew that Zhou Qinglan was probably in emergency labor, so she couldn't care less about it at this time and shouted as soon as she entered the hospital.

A nurse heard this and hurriedly came over and guided Shao Minzhi and the others upstairs to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

When the doctor saw this situation, he immediately arranged for a delivery room, a delivery doctor, and a midwife, and sent Zhou Qinglan to the delivery room.

Shao Minzhi left Aunt Li waiting outside the delivery room, and she hurried to pay the money and complete the procedures.

At ten o'clock, the train arrived at Changchun Station. Sheng Xiping followed the people out of the station and immediately found a car and went straight to the small courtyard where Zhou Qinglan was.

As a result, when I got here, I found that General Tie was holding the door and no one was home.

Sheng Xiping was dumbfounded and hurriedly asked his neighbors. After asking, he found out that his wife had a stomachache this morning and had been sent to the hospital.

"It wasn't long after he was put in the car, and I'm just starting to follow you. I heard that he was sent to the provincial hospital. You should go and have a look quickly."

The neighbor was a nice person. When he heard that he was the husband of the woman next door who was going to have a baby, he quickly told Sheng Xiping where to find someone.

When Sheng Xiping came, he brought a lot of things from home, all for Zhou Qinglan's confinement.

"Sister-in-law, please help me take care of these. I have to go to the hospital to see my wife first."

Sheng Xiping put all the things he brought at the neighbor's house and ran to the provincial hospital.

I went to the hospital to inquire and found out that a pregnant woman had indeed come to give birth just now and was in the delivery room.

Sheng Xiping hurried upstairs and ran to the delivery room. When he ran out of the delivery room out of breath, he happened to see Shao Minzhi and Aunt Li walking back and forth outside the delivery room.

"Sister-in-law, how is Qinglan?" Sheng Xiping was out of breath after running, and finally asked this question.

Shao Minzhi was quite surprised when she saw Sheng Xiping, "Oh, Qinglan is inside, giving birth. Brother, why are you here?"

Sheng Xiping stopped, calmed down his breath, and then spoke again, "I was afraid that Qinglan would give birth early, so I asked for leave to come and be with her.

I never thought that as soon as I got off the train and got home, I saw the door locked. The neighbor next to me told me that she had a stomachache in the morning and was sent to the hospital. "

Sheng Xiping was particularly lucky at this time. He came here more than [-] days in advance. If he goes by the due date, the baby will be almost post-natal by the time he arrives.

"When I gave birth to Xinyu, it was a week early. Why is it so early this time?"

Sheng Xiping was puzzled. According to the expected date of delivery, it was more than twenty days ahead of schedule. What's going on?

"The doctor just said that your wife is probably pregnant with twins. Twins rarely reach full term, so this is considered good for your wife."

Shao Minzhi recalled what the doctor just said and comforted Sheng Xiping.

Sheng Xiping just heard Zhou Qinglan call back and said that she might be pregnant with two children, but he didn't believe it.

It is true that the Sheng family has twins Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei, but most of the genes of these twins will be passed on to the twins themselves, and the female's inheritance is more common, while the male's inheritance is very unlikely.

Hearing Shao Minzhi say this, Sheng Xiping was not sure.

Anyway, my wife is already in the delivery room. Whether it is a single pregnancy or twins, we will know later.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Thank you for being here. Otherwise, Qinglan might be in danger when I arrive.

And auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you these days. Thanks to auntie for taking care of my wife. "Sheng Xiping sincerely thanked the two of them.

"No, no, we are all from our own family, why are we so polite?" Shao Minzhi waved his hands.

At this moment, a baby's cry came from the delivery room. When Sheng Xiping and others heard this, they almost jumped up with joy.

"Born, born."

After a while, no nurse was seen taking the baby out. Everyone was wondering about the baby when they suddenly heard another baby crying.

Shao Minzhi laughed when she heard this, "Brother, congratulations to you, my sister and I have really given birth to twins."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the nurse coming out of the delivery room holding two candle packages. "Who are the family members of the pregnant woman Zhou Qinglan?" the nurse shouted.

"Comrade, I am, I am her husband." Sheng Xiping hurriedly stepped forward and responded.

"The mother gave birth to twins. They are both younger sisters. Mother and daughter are safe." The nurse asked Sheng Xiping to come forward and lift the quilt to take a look at the two babies.

Few newborn babies are good-looking, most are red and wrinkled, and these two girls are no exception.

And because they are twins, the two female dolls look very small, much smaller than Sheng Xinhua and the others at that time.

The two girls, one weighs four pounds and the other three pounds, are relatively heavy among the twins.

The nurse said that the baby was healthy and could be carried to the ward, and that someone would just leave him alone to pick up the mother later.

Shao Minzhi and Aunt Li each held a baby and returned to the ward first.

Sheng Xiping was waiting here. After a while, the delivery room was tidied up. Sheng Xiping went in and took Zhou Qinglan directly back to the ward.

During Zhou Qinglan's pregnancy, Aunt Li and Zhou Qingyue took good care of her, and she was in good health.

The two children were born quickly and did not consume much physical energy, so they were in good spirits after returning to the ward. Lying on the hospital bed, they had to see their daughter.

"You have been looking forward to having daughters, now I have two daughters for you, are you satisfied?"

Shao Minzhi brought the two babies over, showed them to Zhou Qinglan, and then put them back on the crib.

"You have a good rest and don't think about anything. We are here."

After seeing the child, Zhou Qinglan was satisfied, and then she was in the mood to talk to Sheng Xiping.

"Why are you here now? I thought you wouldn't come until the end of the month."

Sheng Xiping was in a hurry to go out and did not call or send a telegram to the provincial capital beforehand. Zhou Qinglan did not know that he was coming.

"Thanks to my arriving in time, I caught up with the birth of my two daughters. If I had left one day later, I would have missed the trip."

Sheng Xiping held his wife's hand and kissed it.

"Our mother said that every time you give birth to a baby early, it won't happen this time either.

And didn’t you say before that you might be pregnant with two children? Most twins are born prematurely, so I settled things at home and came as soon as possible.

What a coincidence. Before I even got off the bus, you were about to give birth. These two girls can't wait to see me. "

Mentioning the two daughters, Sheng Xiping also had a happy smile on his face.

"Are you happy now? It's not the time when you didn't want me to have it in the first place, right?

Did I just say that I want a daughter? Look, there are two here. "Zhou Qinglan's wish came true, she was happy and proud.

Sheng Xiping laughed and said, "You still pick on me, right? Then aren't I worried about your studies and work?"

The couple chatted for a while, and Shao Minzhi reminded Sheng Xiping to call home first to tell her the good news.

Just like that, Sheng Xiping went out to find a public phone, first called Zhou Mingyuan, and then called the processing factory.

Ask the people at the processing plant to inform her family that Zhou Qinglan had given birth to twins, two girls.

By this time, the people at the processing plant knew that co-author Sheng Xiping's wife was pregnant in the provincial capital and gave birth to twins.

No wonder Sheng Xiping took a long leave to go to the provincial capital, while Hezhu was going to take care of his wife.

Wang Jiansheng hurried to Sheng's house and informed Zhang Shuzhen.

When Zhang Shuzhen heard that her son had just arrived there, her daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby boy and a daughter. Zhang Shuzhen was happy but also scared.
