The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 289 Avoidance
Before arriving at the hospital, Zhou Lingying said she was fine. But when she arrived at the hospital, she seemed to sense something and pulled off her pants.

When Jiang Cheng opened the back door, he saw a baby that was almost halfway out. As a grown man, he had never experienced such a scene before, so he didn't dare to hug Zhou Lingying and immediately went to the hospital to call the doctor and nurse over.

When the doctors and nurses heard that the pregnant woman had given birth to half of her baby in the car, they took it very seriously and immediately asked someone to run out of the hospital with a stretcher.

Although doctors and nurses now serve the people and receive a fixed salary, and there is no performance reward, they are so active, and Jiang Cheng said that the person in the car also has something to do with it.

Being able to drive a car here means that one has a good status, so naturally one should be taken seriously.

When the doctors and nurses arrived at the car, a baby had already been born. They breathed a sigh of relief, as it was born directly and only needed simple care.

But when he heard Jiang Cheng say that there was another baby in the belly and his wife was pregnant with twins, he immediately became busy again.

This is the first one to come out, and the second one will be soon, after all, the incision has been opened. It took less than an hour in the hospital, and the sixth child was successfully born.

Jiang Cheng was blessed with twins this time, finally a son. But the fifth child is a son, not the sixth. This means the sixth child is not a sixth either. I thought the sixth child was a son because he was rushing to report it.

Zhou Lingying was very proud when she learned that she had finally given birth to a son. Even though she had just given birth to two children, her spirits were very good.

There were four children to take care of at home, and Zhou Lingying had just given birth, so she had to stay in the hospital for at least two or three days. In the hospital, Jiang Cheng first gave wedding candies to the doctors and nurses, and the candies were high-end White Rabbit milk candies.

Then in the hospital, Jiang Cheng hired a temporary nurse to take care of Zhou Lingying. There were four children in the family, and Jiang Juan would soon take the high school entrance exam.

Jiang Cheng explained something to Zhou Lingying and immediately drove back to his hometown, Jinhe Commune.

Jinhe Commune has already implemented the household contract responsibility system, and Jiang Cheng's two mu of land was planted with rice at the beginning of the month. He usually just wanders around and then plants some vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Now I am mainly busy helping Jiang Cheng look after the building under construction. I got the land in December last year. In January this year, I found a construction worker from the city to help. Now the main structure has not been completed.

You can also hire bricklayers in the commune. In addition to paying them some wages, they also have to provide them with meals.

Zhao Yuxia now cooks meals every day at the building site, and likes to stroll there when she has nothing to do. After all, it is the first building in the village, and people often hang out there.

When Jiang Cheng arrived at Jinhe Commune, Jiang Changhe was clearing some land next to the house he was building. In addition to the vegetable plot, the land for building the house was not small. There was a yard in the front and some land in the back for growing vegetables.

In fact, Jiang Cheng used the back of the building to build a septic tank toilet. There must be a toilet in the building. But in the countryside, there is no place to drain feces, so he had to build a toilet behind the building, plus a firewood room.

When the building is completed, pipes will be installed to connect directly to the toilet at the back. It would be good to have a toilet at the back, so that when relatives come to eat during the Chinese New Year, they don’t have to go into the room to use the toilet.

And now that I have my own vegetable garden, manure is natural fertilizer and cannot be wasted.

"Chengzi, you're back."

Zhao Yuxia saw a car driving on the roadside not far away. She guessed that the only person who could drive a car in the commune in those days was her son.

Then she saw Jiang Cheng coming out of the car. Zhao Yuxia happily went forward to greet him, thinking that Jiang Cheng came back to see how his house was being built.

"Yingying has given birth and is in the hospital. There are four children at home with no one to take care of them. Mom, you should pack up quickly and go to the city to take care of them for a week." Jiang Cheng said to his mother.

When she heard that her daughter-in-law had given birth, Zhao Yuxia quickly put down the things in her hands and went back to the old house to get some clothes. But she suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Did you give birth to a son?"

"Twins, a boy and a girl." Jiang Cheng responded.

Hearing that Zhou Lingying had finally given birth to a son, Zhao Yuxia thanked God. Then, before returning to the old house, she hurriedly called Zhao Changhe from behind the house.

Zhao Yuxia told Zhao Changhe that he had a new grandson, and now she and her son were going to the city to take care of their daughter-in-law Zhou Lingying.

Logically speaking, Zhao Yuxia is Jiang Cheng's mother. After her daughter-in-law gives birth to a child, she should at least take care of her during the confinement period for a month.

But Jiang Cheng only asked her to go for a week, mainly because people in rural areas tend to be a bit messy when taking care of children, and it feels unhygienic.

When feeding a child, Zhao Yuxia can put the food directly into her own mouth to feel the temperature. If she feels the temperature is right, she puts it on a spoon and feeds it to the child.

Another thing is that the food cooked by rural people is very ordinary, especially rural people of this generation, who rarely cook, and many dishes are boiled.

Of course, this is because there is not much oil in those days. If there is no oil, what can you use to cook? The same is true for people in the city. Oil is limited, and it is impossible to eat fried food every day.

Many times the dishes are cooked first and then some oil is added to the noodles.

Jiang Cheng planned to let Zhao Yuxia take care of her for a few days first, and then wait for Zhou Lingying to return from the hospital and then spend money to find someone to help take care of her for a month.

After Zhao Yuxia left, Jiang Changhe came over from the back of the house happily. Hearing that Zhou Lingying had given birth to a son, he was also relieved.

It’s not that Jiang Changhe wants to favor his two grandsons, Jiang Lin and Jiang Yang, but at their age, it doesn’t matter how they live. They should think more about their children and grandchildren.

Jiang Cheng had no son of his own, so no matter how many girls he had, Jiang Changhe believed that they would all be married off. In order to continue the family line, Jiang Chenghe naturally valued Jiang Lin and Jiang Yang.

Now that Jiang Cheng has his own son, Jiang Changhe doesn't have to worry about anything. But Jiang Lin and Jiang Yang are Jiang Changhe's grandsons and Jiang Cheng's nephews after all. The eldest brother passed away early, and when these two children grow up, Jiang Changhe will still let Jiang Cheng take care of them.

"She really gave birth to a son." Jiang Changhe walked to Jiang Cheng and asked to confirm.

"Well, now that I have a son, I don't have to worry about it anymore." Jiang Cheng said.

Jiang Changhe also nodded, understanding what Jiang Cheng meant. In the past, one son was not enough for a rural family. There was no one to help in a fight. In the countryside, whoever had more sons was more powerful.

But now it is 1980, and the walls of the township communes are full of slogans about having fewer children and better quality of life. Jiang Chengdu has six children. If he didn't have connections in the city, some people would come to his house every now and then to do ideological work. "So are we going to have to host a few more banquets this time? Giving birth to a son is a great joy for you," Jiang Changhe said.

"Well, I have some candies and cigarettes in my car. You can share some with the workers who helped build the house so that everyone can share in the good fortune. We don't have many relatives, and now that we are open to the outside world, let's see if people from Yingying's family can come over this time." Jiang Cheng said.

Now Zhou Lingying's father may also retire this year, and her mother has already retired and has a lot of free time. Now their daughter has given birth to twins, so it would be nice for Jiang Cheng to treat her well when she comes to Changcheng.

Besides, Zhou Lingying said that his elder brother wanted a TV, so it was a good opportunity for him to come over.

When Jiang Changhe heard Jiang Cheng say this, he followed him to the car to get cigarettes and candies. Those who were given cigarettes and candies by the construction team would congratulate Jiang Changhe, saying that he had another grandchild.

As soon as the cigarettes and candies were gone, Zhao Yuxia came over with some clean clothes, and then Jiang Cheng took her back to the city immediately.

Having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. After all, she is your own mother. When you really need help, at least she will be there when you call.

Jiang Cheng brought his mother to the city, mainly to do laundry and help take care of her in the hospital. Jiang Cheng still took care of the four daughters at home. As for cooking, Jiang Cheng was not bad either, so he didn't let his mother cook.

Jiang Cheng felt a little embarrassed during the days he was taking care of his daughter at home. Boys only need to shake their pee after peeing, but girls have to wash their butts before going to bed at night.

And when the third and fourth children pooped, Jiang Cheng had to wipe their butts. After all, they were young, and the fourth child was fine, as long as she didn't poop on herself. If the third child didn't help her wipe, she might not be able to wipe it clean by herself.

But children don’t know how to take precautions, especially when facing their father.

The eldest, Jiang Zhaozhao, is seven years old and will be in the second grade in September. Just because she saw Jiang Cheng washing the buttocks of the second, third and fourth children, she insisted that Jiang Cheng wash hers, too.

Jiang Cheng initially felt that it was a bit bad for a seven-year-old girl who had to buy a half-price ticket for a height of one meter and one meter last year. But then he thought about it again, and realized that the children couldn't even take a bath by themselves. When it was hot, Jiang Cheng liked to give them a bath. If they could take a bath, then the rest was nothing.

Zhou Lingying stayed in the hospital for three days. After the doctor confirmed that both the adult and the child were fine, she was discharged on the fourth day and moved back to the hospital.

There are two more children in the family, and they can now sleep in the cradle. The fourth child is still young and sleeps with Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying.

The third child will have to sleep next door with Jiang Juan. Now the children are still young, and it is OK for three children to sleep with Jiang Juan. In a few years, when the children are older, the house in China can be sold, and then we can move to another house.

Now Jiang Cheng is used to living here, and even if he has the ability to get a better house, he is not willing to make the effort.

This time, they gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, so Jiang Cheng finally had a son. The neighbors in the yard were all given candies and peanuts, and a TV was placed in the yard for everyone to watch for several days.

This time, we borrowed the venue from the street office and held a grand celebration on the occasion of the fifth and sixth month's birthdays.

Many of Zhou Lingying's family members came, including her uncle Zhou Hewang and aunt Zhou Siyuan. Changcheng and Nanjing are almost a thousand miles apart, and the reason they came all the way here is that Jiang Cheng is capable and can help them make money.

In the future, when someone marries someone far away, except for their parents, no other relatives would be willing to go. In the future, it takes less than half a day to travel from Changcheng to Nanjing, and everyone may not be willing to go through the trouble. Moreover, in this era, just taking the train on the road would waste three or four days.

As the saying goes, a rich man has distant relatives even if he lives in the mountains, but a poor man makes trouble and no one cares about him.

~~
Jiang Cheng stayed in Changcheng for more than a month, and could not take care of Hong Kong. Shen Li, who was in Hong Kong, actually gave birth more than ten days later than Zhou Lingying.

Because there was a housekeeper in the villa and a specially hired nurse to take care of her, there were no problems with the birth. Sometimes it's like this, either it doesn't come, or it comes all the time.

Shen Li actually gave birth to a son for Jiang Cheng in a high-end private hospital in Hong Kong, which was a comfort to her as she did not have her husband by her side during the childbirth.

As the saying goes, a mother is honored by her son, even if it is an illegitimate child, he is still a young master. Shen Li hopes that her "sister" in China will not give birth to a son. As a concubine, although I have to do my duty. But if God takes care of it, there are some things that should be fought for.

But God only gave Shen Li a support. Jiang Cheng set out for Hong Kong after celebrating the full moon for the fifth and sixth sons. He arrived in Hong Kong just to celebrate the full moon for his sons here. Here, they simply held a full moon celebration in the villa.

At present, Jiang Cheng is keeping a low profile in Hong Kong, fearing that his identity will be exposed and that he will be exposed in China. He will avoid showing up at the company if possible. In a few years, only some senior executives in the company may see Jiang Cheng.

Shen Li was definitely disappointed when she heard that Zhou Lingying also gave Jiang Cheng a son. But she was also protected by having a son, because in Hong Kong, a daughter would belong to someone else even if she got married.

Although daughters also have the right of inheritance in Xiangjiang, the rules are for dead people, not living people. Unless Jiang Cheng does not make a will, it is highly likely that some of his business will be handed over to his son.

Even if he was an illegitimate child, Shen Li felt that Jiang Cheng should give her son a lot of property.

As Jiang Cheng's son, Shen Li naturally waited for Jiang Cheng to name him. To be honest, Jiang Cheng had trouble naming.

In China, even though Zhou Lingying already had a son, Jiang Cheng continued with his previous naming strategy and named the sixth child Jiang Mengmeng in the same way as Mengdi.

The fifth son was Jiang Cheng's only son. In the eyes of others, Jiang Cheng had only one son, so they could only hope that he would grow up safely. So the name he was given was relatively ordinary, Jiang Ping.

But in Xiangjiang, Shen Li asked Jiang Cheng to name his son. He thought that since the names of his sons in China were so ordinary, the one in Xiangjiang should be given a more impressive name. In the short plays and novels, the impressive names are "Ye Fan" and "Lin Fan", all of which have the word "Fan" in them.

Jiang Cheng named his son in Hong Kong Jiang Fan, which just happened to correspond to his son in China. The one in China was named Jiang Ping, and the one in Hong Kong was named Jiang Fan, which means "more ordinary".

How could Shen Li know that her son was named by Jiang Cheng based on the names of awesome characters in later novels and short plays? She thought Jiang Cheng was really the link between the two and his son in China.

This means that Shen Li's son is second only to her sons in the country, which makes her ecstatic. She thinks that she has given birth to a son for Jiang Cheng and has been recognized by Jiang Cheng.

Of course, Jiang Cheng doesn't really differentiate between his own children. They are all his own children, and he won't deliberately treat them differently.

But the nine sons of a dragon are different from each other, and Jiang Cheng now has exactly nine children. Having more children has some advantages. When the children grow up, if he dislikes one of them or has a bad character, etc. Anyway, since he has many children, it doesn't matter if he gives up one.
