Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 688: Big brother is well-educated, and this name is really impressive!

The trunk of the Jeep 212 is stuffed to the brim. It seems that there are quite a lot of things, but in fact they are all cheap items. They just enjoy the joy of shopping in the mall and their love for new things, not buying whatever they need. Although there are brand names now, they don’t know what luxury goods are, so they don’t have a competitive spirit.

When Yang Yanqiu found out that Meng Ziyan was pregnant with twins, she was surprised and asked her about her well-being. She even said that Xu Ning was so lucky that she could have both a son and a daughter. Xu Ning smiled and thanked her for her good wishes.

Immediately, Xu Ning picked up the telephone receiver next to the sofa and was about to dial the number of Qing'an Village Headquarters, but his finger paused on the dial for two or three seconds. After thinking for a moment, he decided to call Qing'an Forest Farm directly.

"Qing'an Forest Farm Reception Room, who are you looking for?"

"Brother Liu, I'm Xu Ning."

"Hey, who are you calling from? Do you want to talk to Accountant Xu?"

"Yeah, I'm in the city, chatting with my dad."

"Okay, don't leave it alone. I'll go call him now."

Two or three minutes later, Xu Laonian quickly ran into the reception room, covered the microphone and asked quietly: "How is it?"

"Yes!"

Xu Laonian blushed, smiled unconsciously, and asked, "Boy or girl?"

"Twins. We don't know whether it's a boy or a girl yet."

"Hey, I..." Xu Laonian slapped his thigh in excitement, but immediately suppressed his emotions and said hurriedly, "Is it true?"

"Why would I lie to you? I called you directly and didn't even tell my mom."

Xu Laonian clapped his hands on his thighs and said, "It's so particular! If you do it this way, then they must be twins! I'll report them to your mother as if they were twins, and if there's nothing else, I'll just leave it alone..."

"Please stop spreading rumors, okay? Just tell the truth and do what needs to be done."

"Oh, I know. I'm going to go home now and tell your mother not to call the village anymore. Hang up!"

After that, Xu Laonian hurriedly put down the phone. As he left, he glanced at Xiao Liu who was smoking at the door and said, "Tell your Uncle Wang that I'm going straight home."

"Okay, I'll find you a car."

"No need. Anyone who sees me will stop and give me a ride."

Xu Laonian stopped a car outside the forest farm, got in and asked the driver to take him to the east entrance of Qing'an Village. Then he walked home leisurely. Along the way, he met many villagers. When they greeted him, they saw that he was smiling very wildly, so they asked what was going on.

Xu Laonian knew that he couldn't talk about his daughter-in-law's pregnancy, so he just said he was leaving get off work early to go home and drink. When he arrived at the door, Wang Hu and Li Fuqiang were repairing the tire of the donkey. Li Fuqiang looked back and said in surprise, "Uncle, why didn't my second uncle come back with you?"

"I'm here to report the news in advance."

Wang Hu's eyes turned, and he followed Xu Laonian into the plastic shed and asked, "Uncle, is my second sister-in-law really pregnant?"

"I have to! Jane...Jane! I'm back. Oh my god, please get me some water. My throat is about to smoke from running all the time."

Liu Lizhen poked her head out from the north kitchen and asked with a frown, "Why did you come back early?"

Xu Laonian sat on the sofa with his legs crossed like a lord and said, "I came back to report the news! The little idiot just called me and said that his wife is really pregnant..."

"Oh my god! Is it true? Oh my god, is that... is it a boy or a girl?"

Xu Laonian smiled and said, "I thought you were going to ask this question, so you must ask it this way. They can't be twins, right?"

"Hey, I..." Li Fuqiang exclaimed with his eyes wide open.

Liu Lizhen and others smiled knowingly and said, "That's right! The deer placenta wine was not soaked in vain..."

"Is Shuhua's recipe really effective? Sister-in-law, please leave some for me so that Huzi can taste it."

Wang Hu was indeed moved when he heard this. He also hoped that Guan Hua would get pregnant and give birth to twins, so that they wouldn't have to have a second child.

Liu Lizhen smiled and said, "It's on the cabinet in the second west room. There should be more than half a bottle left. You can take it home later. Dalong and Erning can't drink it anymore."

"Got it."

"Sister, Erning's wife is pregnant with twins but didn't tell me whether it's a boy or a girl?"

Xu Laonian took the cigarette from Li Fuqiang while lying on the sofa, and said, "She is newly pregnant, so the hospital couldn't find out what's wrong. I didn't ask too many questions, and came back directly after hearing the news."

"Then why did Erning call the forest farm directly instead of the village?"

Xu Laonian was in a very good mood and said with a smile: "This little bastard still has me as his father in his heart, otherwise why would he call the forest farm? Haha..."

"Stop being so cocky, he's afraid you'll start a fight! Stop pretending to be so great, go outside and get some firewood."

"Qiangzi goes."

Li Fuqiang grinned and said, "I'll go, I'll go. Let my uncle rest for a while. He must be out of breath after running back from the forest farm."

"piss off……"

Everyone in Old Xu's family was in a good mood. Although Han Fengjiao was a little anxious, there was nothing she could do about it. It depended entirely on fate when Guan Hua would get pregnant.

That night, Xu Long booked a private room at Yanbin Hotel and invited Yang Yusheng, Sun Jishan, Yang Yanqiu and others to have dinner.

When they heard that Meng Ziyan was pregnant with twins, they were all very happy. Yang Yanqiu talked about many parenting precautions at the dinner table, and told Meng Ziyan and Wang Shujuan to be patient in taking care of the children, because newborns can sleep all day long, basically waking up to eat, and then going back to sleep after eating. As the children grow up, their sleep time gradually shortens, and this is the most tiring time.

The next day, Xu Ning and Meng Ziyan drove back to Qing'antun, leaving Wang Shujuan and Sun Lianfang to stay in the city for a few more days. After Yang Jun and Sun Cuiping came to do their work, she and Sun Lianfang would take Xu Long's car back together.

It was already 2:30 in the afternoon when we got home. As soon as the car stopped, Liu Lizhen, Yang Shuhua and others who were sitting in the house soaking mushrooms came out to greet us.

"Mom!" Meng Ziyan called out "Mom" in a very clear voice.

Liu Lizhen hurriedly responded, "Hey! Are you tired from the ride? Come into the house and take a rest. I'll stew an old hen for you tonight. You need to replenish your body!"

Xu Ning pouted and said, "I've been here for quite some time, but you didn't even glance at me. Does that mean I don't have any credit?"

Liu Lizhen rolled her eyes: "Why are you the same as your father? You always want to be the first in everything!"

"I am not jealous..."

Li Fuqiang took the thing from his hand and said, "Brother, stop vying for favor. My sister-in-law has two children to support her now. What can you use to compete?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "That's not wrong, Mom. Let's make some tofu buns and some pickled vegetables tonight. I'm craving for it."

"You look like sauerkraut to me!"

Meng Ziyan took Liu Lizhen's arm and said, "Mom, I'm greedy too."

"Then do it! You have to go back and tell your parents. It's such a big deal..."

Xu Ning was stunned and asked, "Didn't my dad tell him?"

"He wanted to go, but I stopped him. You must tell me about this important matter in person. What's the point of asking your dad to pass on the message?"

Xu Ning nodded: "That's right, then we'll go over there now and invite them to come over for dinner in the evening."

"Well, we have to drink something on this happy occasion."

Afterwards, Xu Ning and Meng Ziyan walked around the house, then walked out of the plastic shed and headed towards Old Meng's house.

Through the fence, he could see Meng Yinhe working, with Meng Quezi patiently teaching her the craft. Meng Yinhe held the chisel in her left hand and the hammer in her right hand. Perhaps because she hit him with too much force, Meng Quezi glared at her and kicked her, cursing, "I've taught you this eight hundred times, and you still don't remember it. I think you deserve a beating!" Meng Yinhe said with a sad face, "My arms are sore, and you still hit me..."

"If you dare to shed a tear, I'll slap both of you in the face! Hold it back!"

"Just hold it in..." Meng Yinhe pursed her lips and raised her arm to wipe away her tears.

When he put down his arms, he saw two heads popping out from behind the fence. He exclaimed, "Oh! Brother-in-law, you're here at last. Oh my god, my dad really treats me like an animal. He hits me if he doesn't do something right..."

Xu Ning waved to Meng Quezi, and then walked towards the door with Meng Ziyan. After entering the courtyard, Meng Ziyan gritted her teeth and said, "It's your fault! Who told you not to study hard?"

Liu Fenfang came out of the house after hearing the voice and said, "Come in, let's have dinner at home tonight. There are still two fish in the cellar that haven't been stewed yet."

"Mom, you guys can all go to my place to eat tonight. We came here today to tell you something good!"

"What good news..."

Liu Fenfang answered without thinking, and stopped talking after she had uttered three words. She clapped her hands and said, "Oh my god, is she pregnant?"

Seeing Xu Ning and Meng Ziyan standing there grinning, the old couple knew what was going on. Meng Quezi hurriedly said, "Hurry up and go inside, we'll talk later!"

Liu Fenfang dragged Meng Ziyan and walked into the house while asking, "When will it be available?"

After entering the outer room, Meng Ziyan said, "I just had a reaction yesterday, and then he took me to the city hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that I was five or six weeks pregnant."

Without waiting for the old couple to ask whether it was a boy or a girl, Xu Ning, sitting on the edge of the kang, announced directly, "Twins!"

"What the hell? Twins! Oh my god, this is good, we can do it all in one go, good, good..."

Meng Quezi had a silly smile on his face and didn't know what to say. In short, he was very excited and felt extremely agitated. He even looked at Meng Yinhe, who had just made a mistake, with displeasure.

Meng Yinhe jumped up from the spot, grinned and said, "Then I now have two nephews!"

"We don't know whether it's a boy or a girl yet. Let's go check it out in half a month."

"Okay! Oh, I thought I would have to wait half a year, but I didn't expect it to be so soon..."

The speed at which Meng Ziyan became pregnant was beyond everyone's expectations. You have to know that they got married and consummated their marriage in mid-September, and now it is only mid-December, which means that she is pregnant less than two months after their marriage.

Upon hearing the good news, Meng Quezi and Liu Fenfang lost all mood to work. They sat at home for a while, then took out two fish from the cellar and carried them to Old Xu's house.

In the evening, everyone gathered together, drinking until their faces turned red and the world was spinning...

"What should we name the child? I would name him Xu Yifei! If it's a girl, she should be named Xu Lixue! Brother, what do you think of this name?"

Meng Quezi was drunk and nodded: "Okay! Big brother is educated, this name is really impressive!"

"Hahaha, that's a must..."

Liu Lizhen said, "Stop giving random names. Who would like what you've given it?"

"It doesn't sound good?" Xu Laonian asked with his neck tilted.

"Not nice!"

Xu Laonian shrank his neck and said, "If it doesn't sound good, forget it. Then you can give me one."

"Let Dalong and Erning come up with their own names. We are their grandparents, so we can just give them nicknames."

Xu Ning said: "If all else fails, let's draw lots, and each person will think of a word..."

Liu Lizhen patted his head and said, "You are even more capable of talking nonsense."

After the drink, the child's name was still not decided. Xu Ning was a little dazed sitting on the sofa, and only became more sober after drinking two cups of tea.

Suddenly, he stood up straight and asked, "Mom, where is Feng'er's dictionary?"

"She took it to school, what do you need the dictionary for?"

"I look through the dictionary and decide which word I find..."

Xu Laonian looked up dazedly: "Please stop mistreating my grandson. If all else fails, just spend some money and find someone educated enough to take care of him."

"..."

Liu Fenfang said with a smile: "Erning, the baby hasn't been born yet, why are you in such a hurry? Just take your time to think about it."

"Yes, don't worry. Come on, let's go back first, and you guys should go to bed quickly."

Xu Ning instructed: "Yinhe, hold on to Dad, Mom, you hold the flashlight, don't walk home in the dark..."

Meng Quezi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The moon is bright. There's no need for a flashlight."

"I was thinking, what should I do if I drink some wine and go to the moon to look for Diao Chan, like my dad did?"

"Hahaha……"

Xu Laonian glared and said, "Hey, you little bastard, why are you so persistent? I'll cut you, do you believe me?"

After everyone left, Xu Ning staggered back to the west room. Just as he was about to get into bed, Meng Ziyan filled a basin with water for washing feet and said, "Soak your feet before going to bed."

"Oh, I don't need you to serve me. If mom sees this, she will scold me again."

"It's okay. Being pregnant doesn't mean you can't move."

Xu Ning sat on a small stool, took off his shoes and socks and put his feet in the basin. The water temperature was just right. He stared at Meng Ziyan's face and said, "Do you feel anything now?"

"What do you feel?" Meng Ziyan came back to her senses and smiled, "What can I feel now? I can't feel anything. The child hasn't grown up yet."

"Ah, this is my first time being a father and I don't have much experience. Do you want to eat anything?"

"I don't want to eat anything. I just ate a lot of chicken and I'm still full..."

Xu Ning scratched his head and said, "What name do you think is better for the child? A single word or a double word?"

"You decide. It doesn't matter what name the child is given. They both have to call me mom anyway."

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with that. Let me think about it."

Tonight, Xu Ning tossed and turned on the kang, unable to fall asleep.

Meng Ziyan hugged his arm and whispered, "I slept well in the city, why can't I sleep at home?"

"I was so confused when I heard the letter yesterday, but I just recovered today. Are you sleepy?"

"I'm not too sleepy. I can't sleep either. Do you think there are two boys in my belly?"

"If they were two boys, I would take them into the mountains to catch fish and fish..."

"Why don't you take them to hunt animals?"

"It's so dangerous to kill animals. Can you let my son do this?"

Meng Ziyan was silent for two or three seconds, then said, "Can you go to the mountains less often to hunt animals in the future? I'm always worried at home..."
