Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 112

    Qin Rou’s belly is getting bigger day by day. The two little brothers Zhouzhou and Dumpling like to surround their mother, interact with their sisters in mother’s belly, and sing to them.

    “Little Swallow, wear floral clothes, come here every spring…”

    The brothers sang and sang, the most experienced and the best singing is “Little Swallow”, which is the only song they are still in tune.

    Listening to her sons singing, Qin Rou showed a tired and relieved smile, at least these two little guys can sing a song “Little Swallow”.

    “My sister likes to hear my brother sing!”

    “Mom, when will my sister come out?!”

    Little Dumpling is by his mother’s side, he can’t wait to see his sister, two sisters who will call him 嘚嘚, cute little sister.

      , that is, before the new year, these two little guys should be able to come to their house before New Year’s Eve.

    Little Dumpling: “…” Sister who rushed out to eat dumplings?

    Sounds a little bad.

    “Mom, what if my sister wants to eat me?”

    Qin Rou smiled: “our little dumplings are different from dumplings. The younger sisters like little dumplings, and they also like to eat dumplings on New Year’s Eve. Our little dumplings also like to eat dumplings, right?”

    Small dumplings: “…” There are many dumplings going around.

    Zhou Zhou said: “I will make dumplings for my sister!”

    “I also make dumplings for my sister! Dumpling brother makes dumplings for my sister.”

    “Well, our little brother makes dumplings for my sister.” Qin Rou thought, I’m afraid my sister will have to wait another year or two before she can eat the little dumplings made by the brothers.

    The Zhouzhou and Dumpling brothers worked together to sing to their sister. Dad Lu Yan found out his violin again. He wanted to practice the music and teach the two babies in his wife’s womb.

     

    This song can be said to be smooth and pleasant.

    Captain Lu’s only skilled song.

    —Trained by two sons.

    Qin Rou held the baton, Lu Yan played the violin, and the two brothers sang in the yard, immediately forming a small family orchestra.

    Lu Zongyi and Jiang Ping took their grandson Xia Mingxi and sat under the thatched shed as the audience.

    “Get ready!”

    Lu Yan picked up the violin, and the two identical little cubs started to sing, not to mention, there was a similar one, the song “Little Swallow” sung beautifully.

    Passers-by who don’t know the truth in the family’s courtyard have praised:

    “You Lu family really have artistic talent!”

    “Two little singers in the future.”

    “It’s not the same as marrying a daughter-in-law from a cultural troupe.”

    …

    Faced with these compliments, Lu Yan and his son happily accepted them. Zhouzhou and Jiaozi also felt that they were very good at singing and could set an example for their sister.

    Lu Zongyi clapped his hands: “You should ask Lao Wang to come over and listen. We Lu family are so artistic.”

    Jiang Ping: “Make a face.”

    Qin Rou touched her belly, thinking that the prenatal education music these two children received was much better than that of their elder brother, at least it was a music that could be heard.

    However, Lu Yan and his son seemed to be dazzled by the rainbow farts of outsiders, so they decided to practice new songs.

    Little Dumpling: “I want to learn to play the piano.”

    Zhou Zhou: “I think so too.”

    Qin Rou, Lu Zongyi, Jiang Ping: “…” No, you don’t want to!

    After receiving a few compliments, Lu Yan was looked at by his two sons with admiration and admiration. He immediately said “good teacher” and readily agreed: “Okay, Dad will teach you.”

    Zhou Zhou and Xiao Dumpling cheered: “Dad is awesome!”

    “My brother plays the piano for my sister.”

    “My sister likes it!”

    Qin Rou wanted to be bad, but the father and son, one dared to teach, two dared to learn, and the three of them learned the violin in the yard.

    In musical instruments, although the violin has an elegant and pleasant tone, it is difficult to start learning the violin. What does it mean to be difficult to start? Means the sound of pulling out is weird.

    For musical instruments such as the guzheng, even if you don’t know how to play the guzheng, you can fiddle with it a few times.

    And the violin…

    I’m afraid many people can’t imagine that this elegant and beautiful violin can make sounds like “nails across the blackboard” and “saw wood”…etc.

    Father and son started teaching violin.

    Qin Rou: “…” Save, save… life!

    One child saw wood and the other rubbed his nails on the blackboard.

    Lu Zongyi and Jiang Ping have long been experienced. When Lu Yan was learning the violin when he was a child, they had heard the sound of sawing wood for several years. What about the sound?

    In the normal tune, there is an inexplicable noise of sawing wood, which only makes people want to hit people.

    Lu Yan: “…”

    Lu Yan heard the voices of his two sons, and Captain Lu couldn’t listen anymore.

    But as a father, he can’t say anything to undermine the self-confidence of his sons, he can only encourage Zhouzhou and Dumpling, “Come on.”

    Qin Rou instructed him: “Take your child to play the qin elsewhere, and come back after you finish.”

    For the sake of the physical and mental health of her daughters, Lu Yan took the two children to the seaside port to play the violin.

    The two cute babies learned the violin and were surrounded by uncles from the Navy, all of whom wanted to hear the two of them play music.

    “Lu Yan, these two children in your family will probably be more liked by girls in the future.”

    “Yo, I’ve already learned the violin. Play one for your uncle.”

    …

    Several men in military uniforms played the violin around Zhouzhou Dumpling and two cute babies. The two children were not shy and started to play the violin seriously.

    After everyone heard it, they were shocked: “…”

    Especially Li Youtie of the submarine team, he patted his head in confusion.

    Do you know what is the most uncomfortable thing about underwater submarines? You will hear high decibel noise.

    Listening to the two children playing the piano, he felt in a trance that he was still underwater, which was worse than underwater.

    “Lu Yan, you two are suitable for submarines.”

    “Innately adaptable.”

    Lu Yan: “Fuck you, is it that bad for my son to pull?”

    Although it is really ugly for children to play the violin, but as the child’s father, you must protect the two little cubs in front of outsiders.

    “My son has growth potential, just wait and see, have you forgotten that their mother came from the art troupe?”

    Li Youtie: “…”

    Hope he hears sooner.

    After the Lu family’s violin sounded, the next door’s erhu sounded, but this was not a good thing for Mr. Huang.

    The last time I was pregnant, listening to my old man’s erhu sound was a relief.

    But this time, Zhang Chengbei didn’t learn anything well, so he wanted to learn Lu Yan from the next door. Lu Yan from the next door taught two children to learn the violin, and he taught his son Dundun how to play the erhu.

    Zhang Chengbei said proudly: “Don’t worry, our son is like me, he must be better than the next door.”

    Huang Xinying: “…Can’t I wait until I give birth to the child and then learn it?”

    “No.” Zhang Chengbei denied it: “Zhouzhou and Jiaozi both want to play the violin for my sister. Don’t we want to play the erhu for my sister?”

    “Dun Dun, do you want to?”

    “Think!”

     

     “Captain Zhang, you are such a capable man, you can definitely teach my daughter how to play the Erhu, I’ll just wait to hear my daughter play the tune for me.”

    “Uncle Zhang Uncle Zhang!!” Xiao Tiaotiao also liked Zhang Chengbei very much, she cheered happily: “I want to learn Erhu from Uncle Zhang!”

    Huang Xinying made some struggles about the current situation. For example, she asked her son, “Would you like to learn the violin with Uncle Lu next door?”

    “No.” Dundun shook his head: “I want to learn Erhu from my father!”

    “Uncle Lu’s violin is not as good as his father’s. He can only play a few tunes. He has to learn from his father!”

    Xiao Tiaotiao also disgusted: “Zhouzhou dumplings play the violin so badly!”

    “Dun, let’s learn Erhu!”

    “Yes!”

    Header Zhang held the Erhu in his hand, and his expression was very proud. He quietly said to Huang Xinying: “Look, these two children have vision.”

    Mr. Huang: “…” Haha.

    The three of the house next door learned to play the violin, and the three of the Zhang family learned to play the erhu.

    “Let’s go, let’s go, you also take your two children to school outside, don’t make trouble at home.”

    Zhang Chengbei had no choice but to go out with Dundun and Tiaotiao to play Erhu. On the way, he met someone who knew him, and some people asked curiously: “Old Zhang, is this your daughter? Is this your son?”

    “The two children look alike!”

    Zhang Chengbei: “…where does it look like?”

    “Look at this hand, look at this posture of pulling the erhu, don’t these two children look alike?”

    “Are these two twins born?”

    Zhang Chengbei explained to people: “This is not my daughter, it’s the old Liu family—”

    “Dad!”

    Liu Tiaotiao hugged Zhang Chengbei’s leg, “Dad, don’t you want me?”

    Zhang Chengbei: “…”

    How did the old Liu family teach the children? ! !

    Inexplicably, he had a daughter.

    Gu Cheng is the deputy captain. Recently, in the evening, I often heard the captain Lu Yan playing the violin, and the team members said to him: “Guide, you also go to learn from the Lu team. Learn it, and make girls like it in the future.”

    “Look at how happy they are in the army, they have married a beautiful daughter-in-law from the art troupe, and now they have almost four children.”

    Gu Cheng: “…not interested.”

    Gu Cheng looked at Lu Yan’s back in front of him and couldn’t help frowning, the news that Lu Yan’s wife was pregnant with twins, their old Gu knew, called and scolded Gu Cheng like a dog Bloody head.

    “Look at you, how much is Lu Yan bigger than you? How much is Lu Yan bigger than you?”

    “He is already the captain, not to mention, he has a good family and business, married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and has four children…”

    “Look at you, how can you compare to other people Lu Yan.”

    Gu Cheng: “…”

    He wanted to curse.

    However, Gu Cheng is not angry because he has already discovered that since he knew his daughter-in-law was pregnant with two children, the pressure on their captain Lu has doubled I can’t get up, I say it’s mature and restrained, but it’s actually sad.

    It is estimated that he will soon become one of those old heads who are full of grievances, with four children pressing on him.

 

    Gu Cheng whistled: “Brother Lu, this man, you should persevere to the end and don’t compromise with the old men.”

    Like him, if you don’t talk about the object, you don’t talk about the object, whoever wants to get married will get married, a person is handsome, looking at the sea and being happy and comfortable, why bother with a big family on your shoulders .

    Lu Yan looked at him inexplicably: “When did your brother compromise?”

    “You, you are just stubborn, and you don’t admit it.”

    “If you weren’t married then, your brother Lu would still be brother Lu.”

    Lu Yan raised her eyebrows and glanced at him: “Even if I get married, you and I will still be your brother Lu.”

    “Boy, do you want to get married too?” Lu Yan took off his hat and put it on again.

    “I won’t introduce you to Brother Lu, but I can be your advisor. Brother Lu used to have a reputation for being an advisor.”

    Gu Cheng put on his hat: “I will never have the day when I will invite your Staff Officer Lu.”

    “You’re a bachelor for life.” Captain Lu didn’t bother to pay attention to him.

    Qin Rou was pregnant with twins, the radio station people knew the news, they all came to congratulate her, and the announcer Zeng Xueqing laughed and teased her: “Our little Qin is really lucky. !”

    “Tsk tsk.” Zeng Xueqing shook his head, Qin Rou in front of him was still as young and beautiful. Every time a newcomer came to the radio station in recent years, he had to inquire about Xiao Qin’s situation in private and ask them about these Old man: Does Xiao Qin have a partner?

    More

    “Let’s have another daughter!”

    Qin Rou smiled: “I also want to have a pair of daughters.”

    “Some people, good fortune is really good fortune.” Xi Xiangyi said this with a bit of yin and yang.

    She had a good relationship with Qin Rou at first, but it gradually changed. Since Xi Xiangyi insisted on persuading Qin Rou to go to the evening shift, Qin Rou gradually alienated her.

    It’s not just one reason, there are other reasons too.

    Xi Xiangyi has always asked Qin Rou to introduce her to someone, especially an officer who wants Qin Rou to introduce her to her. She used to despise those reckless husbands who did not understand the style, and she saw that Qin Rou had a happy family , She also felt that naval officers were romantic, and longed to marry a naval officer, and she had to be an officer on a warship.

    Qin Rou once introduced her to two or three, but Xi Xiangyi was not satisfied with all of them, and she even passed that Qin Rou gave her random introductions among colleagues.

    What Qin Rou introduced to her, she disliked all of them, the first one who was young and good-looking, Xi Xiangyi disliked his low position, and wanted to see it again, and the second one Three… The position is high, the age is also high, and the appearance and height can’t keep up, she will feel that the first one is good, but the first one is like a sweet pastry, and she is selected by others. .

    Xi Xiangyi felt that Qin Rou was deliberately tossing her to play, saying that each of the objects Qin Rou introduced was worse than the other, which made Qin Rou laugh, Xi Xiangyi’s limited scope was so narrow , she pushed the best candidate to her from the beginning. If this one doesn’t suit her, isn’t that the rest?

    If you introduce the bad ones to her at the beginning, and then introduce the good ones, you will blame her for not introducing the good ones earlier, or if you see his position, you will complain: “Why is the position getting lower and lower? already?”

    Qin Rou heard what she said behind her back in private, but didn’t say much, but introduced two girls from the radio station to several male officers. , directly married, and now have children.

    “The person Xiao Qin introduced is very good.”

    “Isn’t it true, Xiao Yao has also become an officer’s wife.”

    …

    After the other two couples got together, Xi Xiangyi was so angry that she didn’t even have a second choice, just watching someone marry a male officer she didn’t like , lived a happy life, and dangled in front of her every day.

    Qin Rou didn’t introduce people randomly. When selecting people, she deliberately chose character and family background. She didn’t dare to introduce people with bad character.

    “I will not introduce people to people in the future. I am afraid that I will really succeed in matching. In the future, the couple will quarrel and scold me as the introducer at home every day.”

    Qin Rou no longer introduces people to people.

    Zeng Xueqing said, “She doesn’t want to be like your Captain Lu.”

    “But you didn’t introduce her.”

    Qin Judao: “She hasn’t seen Lu Yan a few times.”

    “I haven’t seen you, but I have seen you every day. You are living happily every day. Every time you drink water, you have to take a peek at the photos of your old Lu.” Zeng Xueqing winked at her.

    “Cough—” When she had nothing to do, Qin Rou would sneak a few glances at Lu Yan’s photos, “You also found out, Sister Zeng.”

    “Anyone with eyes knows how good your relationship is.”

    “How come the leader of your unit introduced you such a good person?”

    Qin Rou smiled: “Yin and Yang are wrong.”

    Who knew that when the two of them went on a blind date, they all had the idea of ​​going through the scene, and they ended up getting together.

    Xi Xiangyi saw the two of them chatting happily, but ignored her, feeling bored. She thought that Qin Rou was pregnant, and secretly expected her to give birth to a pair of daughters…

    Patriarchal families do not want to have daughters, but they are different. They already have two sons and are looking forward to the arrival of their daughters.

    Let her give birth to a pair of twins?

    This is even more incredible, and I have to praise her for being lucky.

    Have twins?

    That’s four sons, and many people want to have four sons, but they can’t.

    No matter what happens to Qin Rou, she is lucky.

    The seats are suitable for stuffiness.

    Ye Mingxiu gave birth, and her sister Ye Mingjuan came to Qiongzhou Island. Ye Mingjuan’s marriage with the factory director’s son Li Jin was over, because Li Jin discovered Ye Mingjuan’s nature and knew him even more It turned out that Ye Mingjuan was not the girl he liked, and the object of his heart was Ye Mingxiu at first.

    The Ye family told the Li family: “Mingxiu went to Qiongzhou Island to become an educated youth, and now she is married, married to a soldier. Marry your family.”

    “Sisters look the same, what’s the difference between sister and sister?”

    “I like Mingxiu, not Ye Mingjuan.”

    Li Jin didn’t agree to the marriage, that’s fine, their Li family’s parents still shamelessly went to Ye Mingjuan and asked her to return the things Li Jin bought her.

    “I gave it to me, why pay it back?”

     “Because you are a liar, you lied to my son’s feelings, pretended to be your own sister, and shouted that Xiao Jin would buy you something, shameless thing, bah!”

    The Li family came to take the things back, causing Ye Mingjuan’s face to be dull, and the neighbors all around came to laugh at her.

    Depressed for a while, Ye Mingjuan suddenly wanted to go to Qiongzhou Island to visit her sister. She wanted to see what happened to her sister Ye Mingxiu after she got married. Mingxiu also married a deserted island soldier, and she didn’t know what kind of hard life she had.

    But when she went to the family courtyard and the family room where her sister lived, Ye Mingjuan couldn’t laugh, because she found out that her sister had married a good-looking male officer, the surname was Zhao Although he is a little older, he is still a military officer.

    After knowing Zhao Jianghong’s family background and the identity of his sister and brother-in-law, Ye Mingjuan’s eyes turned red.

    —Her sister married such a good person? !

    “Ye Mingxiu, you are doing well now. You are an officer’s wife, and you don’t want to introduce a good person to your sister.”

    Ye Mingjuan was dead in the family home and wanted to marry a male officer. She also took a fancy to Gu Cheng in the publicity photo and ran to Qin Rou to ask her to introduce her partner.

    Qin Rou didn’t introduce her to her, she tried to get in front of Gu Cheng, but was criticized by Gu Cheng’s cold words, and left the island in despair.

    “When did you say that your deputy Gu will find someone?”

    “Even now, there are still people who ask me to introduce people to Gu Cheng.”

    Qin Rou didn’t want to be a matchmaker, but because of this Comrade Gu, there were still people who came to ask her to match Gu Cheng, making Qin Rou very annoying.

    “Wait for another year or two and know that he is not interested in getting married, and no one will pay attention to him.”

     

    Lu Yan raised his handsome eyebrows: “He is a golden bachelor, what am I?”

    Qin Rou hurriedly said: “You, father of four children, no one sees a weed on the side of the road.”

    Lu Yan laughed: “Okay, I’m weeds.”

     “Do you regret marrying at an early age? You can still be a golden bachelor now.”

    “I don’t regret it, I only regret that I didn’t marry your little wild flower earlier. I am a weed and your wild flower. We are leaning on each other by the roadside. No one cares about you. Best. “

    “The mother of my four children, who dares to care about me?”

    Lu Yan smiled and hugged her in his arms, “It’s none of our business, I just want to hug my daughter-in-law.”

    Qin Rou smiled and patted his face away: “No promise.”

    “You brother Lu, I am obviously very promising.”

    I had a pregnancy with twins once, this time with twins, the whole family has the experience of serving pregnant women, Qin Rou lived very comfortably throughout the pregnancy, Zhouzhou and Jiaozi saw their mother’s big belly , I know that my mother is very hard, and I will become two little warm men to take care of my mother and sister.

    Communicate with the child in the mother’s womb through the belly, and tell the story to the sister.

    “Tell Baby Sharks!”

    “Mom, why hasn’t my sister come out yet, she’s as big as jackfruit.”

    “Soon.”

    On January 7, 1977, Qin Rou started at noon, and it was close to her due date. Qin Rou was resting at home, her stomach was in a condition, the old Lu couple and their family members The hospital staff drove her to the hospital.

    Lu Yan knew the news was already in the evening, so he asked for leave in a hurry, and ran to the hospital non-stop.

    It was just a coincidence that he arrived at the door of the delivery room. The child inside was born. Lu Zongyi and Jiang Ping both stood up. And Zhouzhou dumplings, two little guys.

    Little Dumpling’s eyes lit up: “It’s my sister!”

    Lu Zongyi’s heart trembled, and before he knew the result, his whole body was shaking. What kind of twins did the little daughter-in-law give birth to?

    A second child followed.

    A nurse came out of the delivery room, but Lu Yan didn’t ask any questions, and went to see his daughter-in-law first.

    A group of people outside looked at the nurse.

    “Did my daughter-in-law give birth to two boys or two girls? Is it twins?”

    Female nurse: “…”

     Being watched by so many eyes outside made her nervous. There are so many people in the maternity family.

    Zhou Zhou and Dumpling said excitedly: “It’s my sister!”

    The nurse looked down at the twin brothers and was stunned: “…”

    “Lesbian, why don’t you speak?”

    “Oh…” The nurse came back to her senses, “Congratulations, it’s a pair of twin sisters.”

    “They…look exactly the same.”

    “Are these two their brothers?”
