On the second day of the Lunar New Year, while his sons were back, Xu Chenghou finalized the matter of future pension arrangements.
On the third day of the first lunar month, Xu Chenghou accompanied Zhou Guilan back to the camp. As expected, he found his two uncles from the Zhou family, Zhou Anping and Zhou Anfu, to put their fingerprints on the pension agreement.
My mother-in-law and uncle, with these two guarantees, I am not afraid that Xu Shixian and the others will not admit their debt.
At any rate, Xu Chenghou, under the persuasion of his relatives, did not really go to the principal of the elementary school, nor did he go to the street directors of the eldest and second eldest children.
Not long after the New Year, Xu Shiyan went back to the mountain to see ginseng again, while Su Anying stayed at home to take care of her two children.
Before going up the mountain, Xu Shiyan went to see Yu Shouguang and other relevant people in the commune to discuss some ideas about breeding economic animals.
Yu Shouguang and Secretary Li of the commune are quite supportive and think this can be tried.
If the experiment is successful, this may be another sustainable development path for Donggang Commune in addition to ginseng planting.
With the support of Yu Shouguang and Secretary Li, Xu Shiyan felt relieved.
After returning to the mountain, I tried to catch a lot of live otters, sables, etc., and the breeding scale gradually expanded.
On March 27, 1980, Changbai Mountain Reserve was listed as an international biosphere reserve.
In early April, an article written by Xu Shixian was published in many newspapers and periodicals across the province, attracting a lot of attention and discussion.
On April 17, the province sent people to Tonghua, and together with Tonghua authorities, they went to Fusong.
On-site inspection of the plans related to the production and construction policy of "forestry-based" mountainous areas in Fusong area.
It is believed that the proposal to comprehensively develop mountainous areas with forestry as the main focus and a combination of forestry, ginseng, animal husbandry and auxiliary services is in line with reality and should be implemented as soon as possible.
At the same time, some people went to the Xiaoheihe ginseng field for field inspection.
Learned about Xu Shiyan’s related breeding techniques of rare wild animals, especially medicinal and economic animals, and the extraction method of musk.
The people above recognized this method, which does not harm the lives of male musk deer and can produce musk multiple times, and reported it to relevant departments for discussion and study.
Xu Shiyan suddenly became a well-known figure in Donggang Commune and even Fusong, and many places wanted to invite him to give lectures.
Xu Shiyan only said that he had no education and could not explain any big principles, so he rejected everything and focused on watching ginseng breeding in the mountains.
Spring turned to winter, the four seasons changed, and in the blink of an eye it was June 1, 1982.
Xu Shiyan once again stood guard outside the delivery room of Donggang Commune Hospital. His wife was about to give birth again.
Three months after Su Anying gave birth to her eldest daughter Xu Jinping, the couple discussed and decided to respond to the call from their superiors and not have any more children for the time being.
In addition, Xu Shiyan was in the mountains all year round, so it was rare for the couple to be together, but they stayed away for two years.
Last fall, the first crop of black river ginseng was harvested for ginseng production, and the mountain was too busy.
Xu Shiyan, Xu Chenghou, and Yang Chunming were all too busy to eat, so Yang Chunming's wife and Su Anying left their children and went up the mountain to help.
As a result, after the busy autumn period, Su Anying found out that she was pregnant again.
Xu Shiyan already has a son and a daughter at home, which does not meet the regulations.
The management here in Donggang is stricter, unlike the big house in a remote area where there are not many people to control it.
Yu Shouguang gave the idea in private to let Su Anying live in the mountains with Xu Shiyan to avoid a lot of trouble.
Logically speaking, Su Anying's due date should be July, but she has been experiencing redness and stomachache since yesterday.
Xu Shiyan was so frightened that he quickly led Su Anying down the mountain and sent her to the hospital.
As a result, the doctor at the hospital checked and said that Su Anying might be pregnant with two children.
"Daughter-in-law, you must be safe and don't let anything happen to you.
Why shouldn’t I be thinking about having another child? Why don’t we just have two children?”
While on the mountain, Xu Shiyan felt that something was wrong with his wife's belly. It was bigger than the average pregnant belly of a woman.
But twins had never appeared in the Xu family, so Xu Shiyan didn't think about it. He just thought that his wife had eaten too much in the mountains and had become fat and had a big belly.
When the doctor told him that Su Anying was probably pregnant with two children, Xu Shiyan was dumbfounded. How could this be possible?
Xu Shiyan really regretted it to death. He shouldn't still be thinking about wanting a daughter. He fancifully thought that a second daughter might be able to come.
If he had known that there would be twins, he wouldn't have been able to hide in the mountains with his wife for so long. At least he would have found a way to take his wife for a checkup.
Why is this so different from last life?
In his previous life, his second daughter was born in the autumn of 1981, but there was no such thing as twins.
Xu Shiyan hurriedly walked back and forth outside the delivery room, like a headless fly, muttering in his mouth as he walked around.
Not to mention the last life, it has been several years since I was reborn, and many things have changed. How can I still develop everything according to the previous life?
At this time in my previous life, my second brother Xu Shian had developed stomach cancer and needed an operation.
But in this life, his second brother is like a living donkey, nothing will happen to him.
Xu Shixian, the eldest brother in his previous life, quit participating in Donggang Commune due to injury and opened a photo studio.
What about this life? Xu Shixian was attracted by the bureau leaders because of that article.
Directly recruit workers into the labor union, work as a propaganda officer, write some speeches, organize activities and so on.
Xu Shixian also took this opportunity to publish many articles praising his hometown and reflecting the changes of the times in newspapers and periodicals in the city and province.
Last year, what Xu Shixian wrote was liked by the county leaders, and he was seconded across the unit. Now he works in the county.
Every day I just sit in the office and read the newspaper, write articles for the boss when I have nothing to do, and publish a few articles in the newspaper casually. I live a comfortable life.
Everything had changed and been disrupted, and now he was still thinking about his previous life. Xu Shiyan felt that his brain had also been squeezed by the door.
Now, Xu Shiyan can no longer guess how the future will develop, let alone whether his wife can give birth safely inside.
All he could do was stand outside the delivery room and pray to God to protect him and never let anything happen to his wife.
Su Anying had been in the delivery room for a while, and there were screams of pain inside, which tugged at Xu Shiyan's heart.
While he was anxious, Xu Shiqin hugged his niece Xu Jinping and led his nephew Xu Haiyuan to the hospital.
"Dad, where's mom?"
Xu Jinping struggled and jumped out of her aunt's arms, rushed to her father, and asked with a worried look on her face.
The little girl, who pretends to be four years old but is actually only two and a half years old, has a red braid on her head, a rosy little face, big watery eyes, and delicate and beautiful eyebrows.
This baby combines the advantages of his parents and is exceptionally good-looking.
The little girl is wearing a pink round-neck shirt and duck-egg blue overalls, both of which were made by Xu Shiqin.
Xu Shiqin's tailoring skills are extraordinary now. She can imitate people in magazines or pictorials by just glancing at them and making the same clothes.
"Oh my God, why are you coming to the hospital when you're not at home?"
Xu Shiyan bent down and picked up his daughter, and kissed her cheek.
"Mom is inside, and my little brother or sister is coming out to meet you.
Pingping, let’s just stay outside and wait for mom, okay?”
No matter how anxious you are, you can't show it to your children. Children are very sensitive and can feel the emotions of adults, so they will be afraid.
"I just said you shouldn't come? You have to find your parents."
Over there, Xu Haiyuan, who was over four years old, hummed with a small face.
