The birth of a new life is the beginning of all miracles.
There was laughter and laughter in the room. Everyone gathered around the bed and looked at the newborn with joyful expressions on their faces.
But the little baby didn't buy it. Amidst the joyful discussions of you and me, she started to cry, probably because her ears were buzzing, it was too noisy.
She opened her mouth, howling with grievance, revealing two rows of flesh-pink gums, Ye Yaodong smiled deeper as he watched.
"It must be too noisy, go out, you two brats go out to play, don't touch her all the time, she is going to sleep."
"Dad, can I sleep with my sister at night?"
"No, you two sleep too badly, you will kick her, you all go to the cot."
Ye Chengyang blinked, "Am I going to sleep in a cot too?"
"Yes, let's go out and play, you will have red wedding eggs and mandarin duck cakes after two days..."
As soon as the two talked about eating, they immediately nodded happily, and went out to play together.
At this time, Mother Ye also came over to help clean up after dinner. Seeing the diapers that had just been changed in the washbasin, she took them to the back door to wash them.
Back in the house, she said: "Your cousin-in-law has an accident, do you know?"
The smiles on the faces of the couple froze for a moment, and they looked at each other. Ye Yaodong frowned and said, "Lin Jianqiang? The one who was caught because of gambling two days ago?"
"Yes, I ran into your aunt on the way back to dinner just now, she said that Ah Qiang might be sentenced, and your cousin Meiying cried miserably at home."
He was surprised, it was just a small gamble, should it be just detention and fine? How could he be sentenced?
During the Chinese New Year, the whole village here is playing cards and gambling.
Lin Xiuqing also asked wonderingly: "Shouldn't they be detained for a few days?"
"I heard that I had a conflict with one of the people who gambled with me, and was confessed to stealing a bicycle, so I must deal with it strictly."
Should!
It turns out that besides gambling, he also has a criminal record.
Then he was a mistake.
The old lady also frowned, "What's this called, one by one... have hands and feet well, why don't they do something serious?"
"It's so easy to quit if you get involved in gambling. It's fine if you go in. It won't hurt the family. His wife is not burdened, and he can support a child with a little bit of diligence. Life doesn't have to be a mess. Without him, the whole family Can live better."
He felt his actions saved a family...
Mother Ye nodded in agreement, "That's right, it's better without him."
The old lady sighed and patted his hand, "It's better to be a good boy, and you didn't touch anything you shouldn't, honestly."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
Lin Xiuqing: Be good? ? ?
Mother Ye: Honestly? ? ?
Ye Yaodong laughed, honestly being a waste is his advantage!
"Okay, it's getting dark, and Ah Qing is exhausted after giving birth in the afternoon, so go to bed early in the evening. Let's go back first, and come back tomorrow morning."
"Well, be careful on the road when it's dark, and walk slowly."
After Mother Ye helped the old lady out, Ye Yaodong called the two children back to sleep.
He was exhausted all day today, and when he came back from the sea, he kept worrying about his heart, exhausted physically and mentally, but fortunately, the mother and daughter were safe.
Ordering the two sons not to quarrel and to sleep immediately, he kissed his daughter on the cheek, turned off the light, and lay down on the other side of the mother and daughter to sleep.
Although he was exhausted, his brain was very excited, and he couldn't fall asleep after lying down. The two children on the small bed in the corner were also whispering there, and laughing loudly after a while.
"If you continue to quarrel, I will move the crib to another room tomorrow, and you will sleep in a room alone."
There was an instant silence.
But the little one started to cry...
Throughout the night, Ye Yaodong didn't know how many times he got up. He always felt that he just closed his eyes a while ago, but he had to get up again within five minutes.
Then just after dawn, Mother Ye came over to cook breakfast for them, and cooked confinement meals for Ah Qing alone.
He couldn't sleep again.
With big dark circles under his eyes, he got up and rode his bicycle to the town. He bought everything that his mother told him to buy. He also bought cigarettes, wine and snacks, which were to be sent to Secretary Chen's house.
It wasn't until he got home that he saw a row of diapers hanging on the bamboo pole at the door and counted the number, so he didn't know how many times he got up last night.
8 diapers, how much can I eat? He is also convinced.
After putting down all the things his mother asked him to buy, he took a specially prepared gift and walked to Secretary Chen's house, but was told that he had gone to work and was not at home.
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to put down his things and wait until after the meal, but he was not at home again, saying that he was going to a meeting.
"I can't find anyone even if I want to come to express my thanks. Secretary Chen is really busy."
"I've been very busy during this period, and the entire county is under severe crackdown. You were really dangerous the day before yesterday, and it was a coincidence that you were born at that time. If it was a little later, I wouldn't be able to keep it."
After Secretary Chen heard Ah Guang whisper to him the day before yesterday, he also sweated for them.
"Yeah, the birth was too timely. Fortunately, you helped to delay the time. Thank you very much. The red egg that just rolled out also made you happy."
"Thank you, the matter of helping you is that your fine is indispensable, and your wife has to go for a vasectomy. You were originally told to go in two days. I interceded that you can wait until after confinement."
Ye Yaodong sighed in his heart, as expected, there are people in the court who are easy to handle, so it would be better to suffer less.
"Thank you for your help to intercede. I will definitely pay the fine, as long as the adults can suffer less."
"Your fine, I could have decided to reduce the fine, but the day before yesterday, your time was too good. Those people went in and knew that they were newborns, and their faces were black. When they go back, we have to fine them more."
Hold!
"Isn't the village the village's final decision on how much the fine will be? So how much should I be fined now?"
"We discussed it, and we don't need to be fined more. Just like everyone else in the village, we will be fined 500."
He frowned and let go for a moment, "That's okay, thank you very much, I'll go home later and get the money to the brigade to pay."
I thought I would be fined thousands, but 500 is fine.
The village next door heard that a wealthy household was fined 1,000 RMB, because they bought a TV at home, so they were fined more than others for no reason.
"Well, don't worry, just hand it in in a few days."
"It's better to pay early."
"You figure it out, I'm going to work."
"Hey, wait, I want to ask you something..." Ye Yaodong thought of what his mother said the day before yesterday, and hurriedly stopped Secretary Chen.
Secretary Chen stopped the steps he had just taken, "What's the matter?"
"I heard that Lin Jianqiang will be sentenced, is it true?"
"Oh yes, he is your relative. I also went to the meeting yesterday afternoon, and I happened to get the report. He was sentenced to ten years in prison, and he was also unlucky. He was given a heavy sentence. If he had been fined a few months earlier, he would have been locked up for half a month and released."
"It's only been a few days since he was arrested? Why was he sentenced so soon?"
"Now we pay attention to efficiency and strictness. I heard that the process has been shortened to three days. A lot of people have been arrested in the past few months."
Yeah, squat for ten years! Save people from harming people.
"The reform has been opened, and the educated youths have returned to the city one after another in the past few years. Those young people have nothing to do, and when they have nothing to do, they are easy to provoke trouble."
"Who said it wasn't... oh..." Secretary Chen said with his hands behind his back, sighed and walked out.
After knowing that the gambler was sentenced to ten years in prison, Ye Yaodong felt relieved, and immediately took the money to pay the fine when he returned.
In their rural areas, the village basically has the final say on everything, and fines are handed over to the village.
Once the money is paid, the matter will be exposed.
Lin Xiuqing knew that after Lin Jianqiang was sentenced to ten years in prison, she felt that it was a bit too harsh...
"It's been a long time... I thought it was only a few days."
"He deserves it, whoever told him to steal, if he is a hooligan, he will be doomed, and he will be shot immediately!"
"The law and order outside is too chaotic now."
Mother Ye came in with a stewed egg and said, "It's good to catch it, so you don't have to force your cousin to borrow money from him everywhere to make money. I didn't know he would gamble before. Come and eat while it's hot..."
Mother Ye cracked three eggs, and added red dates, longan, and brown sugar to the stewed eggs, which looked dark red.
Lin Xiuqing only ate two, and handed the bowl and spoon to Ye Yaodong, "I'm full, you eat..."
"This is specially stewed for you to eat, you can eat more, I won't eat it."
"I just ate the longevity noodles for breakfast. It's only 9 o'clock, and my mother has stewed eggs again. Where can I eat it? Help me eat it, don't waste it."
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to take her bowl and spoon and eat the egg.
In the past two days, he has eaten her leftover confinement meal, because there is wine in her confinement meal, either in fish soup, or in birthday noodles, or white shrimp stewed with wine, all of which are soups with wine The water, the two sons couldn't eat it, all went into his stomach.
He also obviously felt that he was gaining weight...
"I can't eat that much, next time I ask my mother to stew two."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said nothing.
Mother Ye interjected, "I'm worried that she won't have enough to eat two. She can't be hungry after giving birth. I saved a lot of eggs and kept them early. Except for some hatching chicks, the rest is enough for her to eat." , and a few big cocks, which have been raised for more than a year, and I killed one in the morning and stewed it, and I will serve her with rice in the next two days."
Said it was to serve her with rice, but he also ate chicken heads, necks and feet...
It has not been a few days, and he can pinch a lot of soft flesh from his waist.
Almost fell asleep while writing, and there is another chapter that will be daytime tomorrow
