Scholars in the courtyard

After leaving the hospital, I saw pedestrians getting up and moving, and I also saw a group of people holding banners and flags. Not far away, there were people coming out of the alleys and starting to line up for drills. It was lively and everything was full of vitality.

Seeing more and more people on the roadside, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but speed up. If it was too late, he would be stuck on the road.

The car ran to the courtyard. Yan Fugui was leading people to queue outside the alley, and Director Wang was at the front.

Yang Xiaotao ignored the greetings and walked to the courtyard.

Yan Fugui met and saw Yang Xiaotao so happy, so they all stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"Xiao Tao, did you have a baby?"

"Give birth to two girls, haha, Uncle Yan, you are busy, I will go home and pack things!"

Yang Xiaotao said happily and walked in quickly.

Yan Fugui was very surprised, "I'm still so happy after giving birth to twin girls. It's not like I'm just pretending!"

"This man is truly extraordinary!"

Then he stopped paying attention and turned around to greet people to get ready to go.

Without the great master Yang Xiaotao, he, the courtyard man, is more like the leader of the team.

However, the news that Yang Xiaotao had two new daughters in his family quickly spread among the crowd.

Although they were disgusted by Zhang's bad mouth, what she said about losing money was indeed true.

Seeing how happy Yang Xiaotao looked, everyone could only think that "for the first time, I like to have a son and a daughter, so that makes it a good thing", so they also sent their blessings.

At the Jia family, Mrs. Jia and Zhang heard the news and immediately took out the photos of Lao Jia and Lexu, placed them on the table, and knelt on the ground to worship them.

"Lao Jia, Dongxu, you finally have your eyes open. That little beast finally got his comeuppance, haha, you two losers haha."

"Lao Jia, Dongxu, you are so manifest, but you must vent your anger for our family, and you must not make it easy for that little beast..."

"Also, please bless our family's awesome guy..."

On the side, Qin Huairu also smiled after hearing the news.

Of course, she also saw Yang Xiaotao's happiness, but she only thought it was Yang Xiaotao who was pretending. After all, these days, having a son and continuing the family line are what men consider.

Yang Xiaotao returned to the middle courtyard, and Liu Yuhua came to ask Duanwu in his arms. Yang Xiaotao took Duanwu and told her that she had two daughters. Liu Yuhua shouted that now she had both children.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, and then asked Liu Yuhua to look at Dragon Boat Festival again. He had to go to the hospital to take care of his wife and daughter.

Liu Yuhua nodded. Anyway, there was an event in the factory today and she took to the streets to shout slogans. It didn't matter whether she went or not.

When the time comes, let your man go to the factory and tell him, and no one will probably care.

Soon, the Wang Dashan family and the Liu family's daughter-in-law came to congratulate them upon receiving the news, and Yang Xiaotao also responded with a smile.

Back home, Wangcai was wagging his tail, and Xiaowei flew out of her plush head, purring.

Ran Xinrui and Ran Hongbing also came out to listen to the commotion. Yang Xiaotao told them what happened, and the two children immediately jumped and ran around in the yard.

Yang Xiaotao ignored them, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to cook.

The millet porridge is ready. It takes more than half a day, so eating should be fine.

Not long after, the electric pressure cooker at home began to steam.

Yang Xiaotao copied a few more dishes, finished them with Ran Xinrui and his sister, and then led them out with the food.

When we arrived at the jeep, we happened to meet Director Wang.

When he saw Yang Xiaotao, he also asked about the situation. Apparently he got the news from others and came to congratulate him.

Yang Xiaotao was polite to Director Wang before driving away.

Along the way, there were people holding flags on both sides of the road. The middle-aged men and women had excitement on their faces, the young men and women had pride, and the children had joy. They ran around from time to time, but no one was looking for them, as long as they remembered their home door. .

Not daring to drive too fast, Ran Xinrui and Ran Hongbing looked at the people on both sides of the car. If they hadn't wanted to see their eldest sister and niece, they would have run down to join the red wave.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the surging crowd around him and did not dare to delay. If he was blocked halfway, he would not be able to get in.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the hospital, a group of people in white coats also held banners and formed a team at the entrance.

There was a sharp whistle in the sky, and then a piece of white began to move.

Dong dong dong

bang bang

clang clang

Then the sound of gongs and drums broke out, followed by shouts.

"Long live the great people..."

"Long live the working class..."

"Long live……"

The voices are getting better and better, echoing from far and near, and even if you are outside, you are inspired.

Crowds of people come one after another, and the red flags are like a steady stream of waves.

After watching for a while, Yang Xiaotao led the two children towards the hospital quickly.

In the ward, Ran Qiuye has woken up.

The pain in her stomach made her afraid to move, but her face was particularly bright with joy.

In private, she talked to Yang Xiaotao about children, and Yang Xiaotao talked most about having a daughter.

She could see that when Yang Xiaotao said this, he was not afraid that his daughter would make her sad, but that he really liked his daughter.

When she thought of Dr. Li, who had just visited her, talking about things outside the ward, she knew that her husband's thoughts were true.

Now that the two daughters are out, I think they will be very happy.

Looking sideways, I saw a little man sleeping soundly.

Turning around to look at the other side, another little person was sleeping soundly.

The two little guys cried for a while at first, but they didn't dare to move. They could only ask their mother to give them some milk powder.

Now that I'm full, I'm acting like a good baby.

"Akiba, wake up!"

As he was looking at his sister on the side, Yang Xiaotao's voice came to his ears.

On the other side, the younger brothers and sisters also came over and lay beside the bed, guarding each one.

"Sister, is this the elder sister or the younger sister?"

Ran Hongbing stretched out his hand and touched his little face. It was soft and moved every time it touched his little niece. It was very fun.

Ran's mother scolded from the side, "Be gentle, it's not serious, just leave quickly."

Ran Hongbing smiled, "My little niece looks better than when she came out during the Dragon Boat Festival!"

Yang Xiaotao laughed after hearing this, took out the food, and Ran's mother went to eat some.

Yang Xiaotao helped Ran Qiuye up, half-lying down, then picked up the rice porridge and sat next to Ran Qiuye. "Eat something light first, and I'll prepare something delicious for you when you get out of the hospital!"

Ran Qiuye smiled, took a few bites and asked about the situation outside.

"Why is it so lively outside?"

Ran Qiuye asked, Yang Xiaotao picked up the spoon and asked her to drink some.

"You don't know? Today is July [-]st, and there are events held across the city. If I come later, there won't be people walking on the road, and I'll probably have to carry my things here."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, Ran Qiuye took a few sips and then didn't want to drink anymore. Yang Xiaotao didn't continue, he put it away and drank again when he was hungry.

"What did Dr. Li say?"

"I said the incision is not infected, just be careful not to move it."

"Then pay attention to lochia and clean it up in time."

"As long as it's okay. I'll do the rest!"

Then the two set their sights on their two daughters.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the one in front of him and looked at the bracelet. This was his sister.

"Daughter-in-law, give your daughter a name!"

Ran Qiuye shook her head, "Come on!"

"Okay, let me think about it first!"

Yang Xiaotao held his eldest daughter and shook it. The little guy moved his mouth and then said.

"In our family, the men have to be named according to their seniority. The Dragon Boat Festival and the others belong to the Zengzi generation, and the women's names don't need to be used. So, I think it's best to use the word Jia, which is the name of the guest. How about Jia?"

"Zengjia, increase, homophonic, very good."

Ran Qiuye nodded with a smile, looked at Yang Xiaotao and continued, "You choose the middle character, and I will do the rest."

"Okay!"

Yang Xiaotao walked aside and picked up his sister, holding the big girl in each hand, smiling happily.

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye showed a confident smile on his face, "Then the elder sister will be called Yueyue, Joyful Yue, and the younger sister will be called Rongrong, Furong's Rong."

"Yueyue, Rongrong. Good!"

Yang Xiaotao understood the meaning after a moment's thought. He happily held his two daughters and gently spun them around in circles. Then he looked at Ran Qiuye and said, "Girls should look good to those who please themselves!"

"Okay, this is really good!"

Ran Qiuye smiled shyly.

"That sister is Yang Jiayue!"

Wave!
"My sister is Yang Jiarong!"

Wave!
"Jiayue, Jiarong! Haha, little girls, you have names!"

In the room, Ran Xinrui and his two children were very happy as they called their niece's name.

The family surrounds Ran Qiuye.

On the hospital bed opposite, a woman was guarding her daughter, looking at her with envy.

……

northwest.

Just when the Yang family warmly welcomed the two new members, and when the entire Sijiu City fell into a sea of ​​joy, there was silence here.

It's not that there are no people, but the surrounding hillsides are full of people.

Some were wearing military uniforms, some were wearing peasant clothes, some were wearing white shirts, and some were plaid shirts.

A group of people sat on the hot ground, the sun above their heads was gradually rising, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, but everyone didn't realize it.

There are people near and far, all looking towards the distant west.

Father Ran was sitting on the ground, with glasses hanging around his neck. Next to him was Lao Zheng and several colleagues.

"I heard from the guards just now that a group of people broke into the experimental area. They seem to be horse bandits of this generation. The army is sending people in to look for them!"

"What, those horse bandits think they have a long life, so they dare to enter this place?"

"I guess they don't know. If you ask me, just leave them alone. These horse bandits have done many evil things and deserve to die."

The people next to me whispered, and the few on the side didn't have any opinions.

People who came out of the war years were used to seeing life and death, and they did not have the heart of the Holy Mother like those of later generations.

You say they have a cold-blooded disregard for life, but when needed, they will stand up, blow up bunkers, and die together, but they will leave the hope of life to those around them.

Ultimately, they identify as humans, not animals.

"I'm just worried now whether it will affect the experiment, these ungrateful guys!"

"I hope not. We have been waiting for this day for almost ten years!"

"Ok!"

Several people were talking quietly, but their eyes glanced at their watches from time to time.

"Lao Ran, don't get excited. There are still six hours before the scheduled time! Squint your eyes so you don't see clearly!"

Although Lao Zheng said this, the light in his eyes made him unable to sleep.

The same is true for the people around him. They are unwilling to leave that direction even for a second.

"People have begun to evacuate. Monkeys, sheep, dogs, etc. are already in place. Protective soldiers are already in place. The next step is to transport things to the steel tower. Check each set of instruments!"

Ran's father ignored Lao Zheng and just looked at his watch, recalling every step in his plan.

"By the way, if you succeed, what are you going to do?"

Seeing that Lao Ran ignored him, Lao Zheng continued to distract everyone and started to change the topic.

"I, I'm going home to see my father and mother. I received news last time that my father's legs and feet are not good and he can't work anymore. My eyesight is not good. The whole family relies on my eldest brother..."

"In these years, I have not fulfilled my filial piety, and I..."

One person said, looking up at the sun, tears streaming down his face.

"I want to visit my sister and son. When I left, my son was only two and a half years old. I don't know if he will recognize me when I go back!"

One person laughed and joked, and the best friend next to him immediately patted his shoulder, "If you don't admit it, you'll be spanked. I'll spank my son. That's how we get along!"

"Hahaha"

"me……"

Everyone talked about their plans and expressed their regrets and anguish.

They have been here for too long, so long that they dare not think about the consequences of failure, and whether they can bear the impact of starting over again.
