My village can't be like this

Chapter 717 A mistake
Zhang An didn't know that he could have such a big impact and prevent Fang Dongli and his wife from quarreling.

At this time, he entered the space after Su Ying fell asleep, and then ran to check the Davidia involucrata seeds that had been soaked in the spring water in the space for two days.

These little creatures, which would normally take two or three years to break out of their shells and sprout in the natural environment, have now begun to break out of their shells.

Zhang An focused his attention and looked inside the seeds. He could already see signs of embryo growth. This meant that Zhang An only needed to plant them in the soil and they would soon break through the soil.

Of course, not all Davidia involucrata seeds showed signs of breaking the shell. Although the shells of a few of them became soft after being soaked in the space spring water, Zhang An observed the inside of the seeds and found that there was no sign of embryo germination in any of them.

Needless to say, this part belongs to necrotic seeds.

Zhang An picked them out without thinking and threw them all away. He packed the rest and would plant them when he came back tomorrow.

The next morning, when Zhang An got up, he found that the mountain was clear, not as foggy as in the previous few days.

Everything in the mountains takes care of everything in the universe. If the mountains are filled with fog early in the morning, it means that today will be a sunny day.

And if it is a day like today, with no fog at all, it means that today will definitely be a cloudy day.

This is based on facts. Because the humidity in the mountains is relatively heavy and the temperature is relatively low at night, a lot of dew will condense on the ground at night.

If the next day is a sunny day, there will be a temperature difference in the morning, and the night dew on the mountains will evaporate into mist.

For example, today, the dew in the mountains has not evaporated. It is clearly visible that the temperature rise is not very obvious, and the sun is probably not too diligent.

But this is not bad. At least when Zhang An drives to the city later, he doesn’t have to worry about not being able to see clearly because of the fog on the road.

Moreover, after living in the mountains for a long time, everyone feels that as long as it doesn’t rain every day, it is considered good weather.

After all, if the sun comes out every day, all the water on the ground will evaporate and then be carried to other places by clouds, which will easily cause drought.

Therefore, a balanced mix of sunny and rainy days is what everyone dreams of.

Zhang An looked from afar for a while, sighing that the good days were coming to an end.

Although it won't rain today, it is a sign that the rainy season is coming.

After breakfast, Zhang An was ready to leave, but before he opened the car door, his son hugged his legs.

"Dad, I want to go with you."

The little guy must have noticed that his dad was going out by car, so he immediately started to pester him.

It is not summer vacation yet. The naughty kids in the village who come to play with him every day are still in school. Even the little girl Yan Qian who does not have to go to school is receiving treatment. He has been playing alone at home these days and has been bored to death.

"Oh my dear grandson, Daddy has something to do, you stay at home with grandma."

When Wang Fang saw it, she immediately came over and started to coax him.

It was a pity that the little guy didn't intend to listen to her. He just kept shaking his head and saying no, insisting that he had to go.

After persuading for a long time, it was still fruitless because Su Ying, the person the little kid was most afraid of in the family, had already gone to school.

"Forget it, just let him go with me."

Zhang An finally nodded and agreed. After all, the little guy was usually very well behaved, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

So, the little guy sat on the passenger seat as he wished. Zhang An fastened his seat belt and prepared to set off. Wang Fang kept reminding Zhang An to drive slowly on the road.

Along the way, because the little one was with him, Zhang An did as his mother instructed and did not drive very fast.

But the child's curiosity was also reflected, and the little guy stared out of the car window all the way.

It's just that he was too short, and when he sat on the chair, his eyes couldn't reach the height of the car window, so he could only keep his head up.

"Okay, okay, put your head down if you're tired of watching."

Zhang An looked at his son who kept his head up and felt tired for him.

Maybe the little guy felt tired, and after hearing what his father said, he obediently put his head down and leaned back in the chair.

But not long after, he began to raise his head and look outside again.

Just then, an old man passed by with a cow in his hand. The little fellow shouted excitedly, "Deer! Deer!"

Zhang An didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Son, that's not a deer, it's a cow."

It is true that in ancient times people called a deer a horse, and nowadays one’s own son calls a cow a deer.

But this is not the little guy's fault, because his family has deer, pigs, sheep and horses, but no cows. So he is relatively unfamiliar with cows, and is much more familiar with the other kinds of livestock.

In addition, the one in front was a big buffalo with long horns, and the only animals in the house that could have such big horns were the herd of stags.

The little guy couldn't call the cow, so he kept calling the deer.

Zhang An thought that it might be time to raise a cow at home.

After arriving at the hospital and parking the car, Zhang An took his son to the obstetrics and gynecology department to find Zhou Yang's family.

However, as soon as I entered the department, I was stopped by someone.

"Hey, Zhang An is here."

Because of Su Shaowen, Dr. Song and Zhang An knew each other, so she had heard about Zhang An sending Chen Wenwen here to the hospital for delivery.

"Good morning, Dr. Song. I'm here to pick up a friend. Qiqi, call Grandma Song."

Zhang An greeted Dr. Song with a smile, and then taught his son how to call people.

"Grandma Song!!!"

Little Siqi was very obedient and called out nicely.

"Wow, it's not even two years old yet and the little guy has grown so big."

Dr. Song couldn't help but be surprised when he saw little Siqi sitting on Zhang An's arms.

After all, she was the one who delivered the child.

But it hasn't been long since the baby she delivered has grown so big.

She didn't think about it just now and thought it was a child of Zhang An's relative.

"Haha, maybe it's because we in the countryside are more caring for people, and this child has grown faster than other children since birth."

Zhang An didn't know how many times he had said this to others, but he still had to say it.

"Yes, he was very strong when he was born, so it's normal for him to be bigger now."

Dr. Song recalled that they were all really scared when she delivered the baby.

In this day and age, especially in small towns in mountainous areas, the weight of newborn babies is not too large, and little ones weighing five or six kilograms are normal.

This child was born weighing more than 8 kilograms, which was the first time she had encountered such a child. If she had not been experienced, she would have been very nervous during the delivery.

Doctor Song chatted with Zhang An for a few words and then left. However, the young nurses, who had nothing else to do, surrounded little Siqi. Almost every one of them had held the little one in their arms when he was still in his cradle.

Afterwards, the young nurses brought a lot of snacks from the nurses' station and gave them to little Siqi. Although he was a real foodie, he was frightened by the scene and had to look to his father with a look of help in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, the aunties like Qiqi, hurry up and say thank you to the aunties."

Zhang An laughed and comforted his frightened son.

After getting his father's affirmation, the little guy felt at ease to accept the snacks handed to him by people around him, and said thank you to everyone sweetly.

Looking at his incredibly cute face, the young nurses around him were overwhelmed with maternal love.

When we arrived at the ward, Zhou Yang and his mother were packing their things.

Chen Wenwen was leaning on the hospital bed, looking okay, and was holding her daughter who was only a few days old and was still sleeping soundly.

"Uncle Xiao An is here. I thought you wouldn't be here until noon. Hey, Qi Qi is here too."

When Zhou Yang saw Zhang An, he stopped what he was doing and came over to talk, then teased Xiao Siqi.

Zhou Yang's mother squatted on the ground and rubbed his hair.

"Auntie, your hair is messy."

Little Siqi shook his head with an unwilling look, and everyone laughed at his mischievous appearance.

Mrs. Zhou also smiled and found a banana and handed it to him.

"There was no fog in the mountains this morning, so we came earlier."

Because the baby in Chen Wenwen's arms was sleeping, Zhang An deliberately lowered his voice.

Soon, little Siqi noticed the little kid in Chen Wenwen's arms, and kept moving closer to stare at him.

Because he was still a child himself, but he looked very curious about another child, which made everyone laugh.

"Don't be naughty, the baby is sleeping. If you wake her up, I'll let your mother punish you when I get home."

Newborn babies don't sleep well to begin with, and Zhang An was worried that little Siqi would start to make a fuss and wake the little one up, which would be really troublesome.

"Oh, but I want to see her."

As soon as he heard his mother, little Siqi immediately became well-behaved, but he still kept staring at the child.

"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, bring her over to show Qiqi. This is Qiqi's little niece. You must take good care of her and play with her in the future."

Chen Wenwen smiled softly, and hugged her daughter very lovingly, lowering her arms so that little Siqi could see her clearly.

"Well, she is so small. She is so tiny."

As he spoke, his eyes widened.

In the village, especially in Zhang An's area, the youngest children are only him and Ding Zijie.

Now that I see someone smaller than me, my curiosity is so strong.

He was still a little guy, but he actually said that others were small. Not only Zhang An and the others, but also the other people in the ward were amused by him.

"Sister-in-law, what is a niece?"

Being still young, he had no idea what the word "niece" meant, so he asked Chen Wenwen.

When he asked this, Chen Wenwen hesitated and she really didn't know how to explain it.

"Okay, okay, you'll understand when you grow up. Just stay here with your sister-in-law and aunt and don't make any noise."

After Zhang An gave all the instructions, he and Zhou Yang walked out of the ward. The two of them were going to find a nurse to help them get a birth certificate.

When Zhou Yang called yesterday to remind Zhang An that he would be discharged from the hospital today, he suddenly forgot about it.

It was only after he hung up the phone that Zhang An remembered that Zhou Yang used the public phone at the hospital entrance, so he couldn't find anyone when he called back.

But it’s still in time to go and get it done today, especially if you bring Zhang An with you, you may not even have to wait and can get it done right away.

After all, the nurses in the obstetrics department had received many sweet messages from Zhang An in the past, and with the relationship with Dr. Song, they did not treat this man as an outsider.

When applying for a birth certificate, you only need to tell the nurse the name of the newborn and fill in the information.

As for the name of his granddaughter, Zhang An finally decided to use the first two characters of "嘉言义行" (Good Words and Good Actions). Even if this name is used twenty years later, it will not be considered old-fashioned.

"Hey, why are you the one naming the child? The child's father is still here."

The nurse in charge of processing the birth certificate was familiar with Zhang An, so she started joking with him.

"Even though he is younger than me, the kids still have to call him grandpa. Even a father like me has to stand back."

Zhou Yang didn't think it was embarrassing that he was older than his seniority, and spoke nonchalantly.

Relatively speaking, the child's name is a top priority, as it will follow his daughter for the rest of her life, and he doesn't want his family to just randomly pick a name to make do with.

Besides, if the name is not nice, people will give you nicknames. It’s okay for boys, but it’s really not okay for girls.

"Hehe, you didn't expect that." Zhang An rarely smiled.

The young nurses at the nurses' station had never really thought about this. They had seen many cases of young people having higher seniority than them, but it was rare to see someone as exaggerated as Zhang An.

While waiting for the birth certificate to be processed, Zhou Yang also completed the discharge procedures and then packed up to be discharged from the hospital.

On the way back, because there were so many people, Zhou Yang's mother sat in the back seat holding little Siqi, while Zhou Yang herself sat in the passenger seat holding a bunch of things.

Zhou Jiayan, who was originally sleeping soundly in the hospital, woke up not long after getting in the car and Zhang An just drove out of the city.

The baby who had just come into this world and knew nothing could only cry and scream. No one knew why, and the baby still cried like this even after Chen Wenwen fed him milk.

Little Siqi was originally sitting on her aunt's lap. When she saw the little kid next to her crying, she couldn't help but move closer. She stared at the crying Zhou Jiayan, and while watching, she imitated the voice of Chen Wenwen coaxing her daughter.

What everyone in the car had not expected was that Zhou Jiayan, who had been crying and could not be coaxed, actually stopped crying after being coaxed by Xiao Siqi for a while.

No one thought about him at first, but after Xiao Siqi coaxed her for a while, he probably felt tired and stopped.

It didn't matter that he stopped. Zhou Jiayan, who had just been well behaved for a while, started crying again immediately.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang An suddenly remembered that his son seemed to have such a magical babysitting skill since he was born. Ding Zijie, who used to be very noisy, had never made a fuss in front of him.

Zhang An hadn't thought of bringing his son here today, but now it seems like it was a blessing in disguise.
