The rain kept falling. When Lin Yutong opened her eyes, she saw the fourth master holding a bottle in his hand and feeding the child. Her eyes were blurred.
"Are you awake?" Fourth Master's eyes were still red. He was probably from staying up all night.
Lin Yutong looked around and saw that this was a small tent. He and his children were on a simple bed. He had a guess in his mind and asked: "Are there any aftershocks?"
"Yeah." Fourth Master glanced at her and said, "It's safe to live here."
There was a crackling sound on the tent, it must still be raining.
The children didn't cry and seemed to be asleep. Lin Yutong then stood up and looked at the three children. They had almost three identical faces. You could still tell the size at a glance. But they were not as fat as expected.
It was definitely not seven pounds. The company commander’s wife must have weighed the wet clothes together at that time. Of course, it may also be because at this time, pregnant women are malnourished and the children are born with low weight. I suddenly saw a girl with
It was fleshy and she felt fat. In fact, she was really not that big. She was a little worried.
"Have you thought of a name?" Lin Yutong asked.
The Fourth Master touched Lin Yutong's head and said, "Now I know what a woman has to pay for giving birth to a child." It's so scary. "You pick the name of the child."
Lin Yutong looked at the rain outside and whispered: "Call Yusheng, Zhensheng, Yesheng."
"Yeah." Fourth Master nodded, "That's what it's called."
He pointed at the children and showed them to Lin Yutong one by one: "Yusheng is the eldest, weighing five kilograms and two taels. Zhensheng is the second child, weighing five kilograms and one tael. Ye Sheng is the third youngest, weighing four and a half kilograms. No one has more.
Cheap. Not too small.”
For triplets, they are not too young. They are all within the normal range. Even the third child is barely considered normal.
She stretched out her hand to check her pulse, and she was all healthy. Fortunately!
"They are all very long. Their bellies are almost bursting." Lin Yutong looked at the children. Although he felt that it was difficult and dangerous, and thinking about the belly at that time, he also felt terrible, but now he looked at the little faces sleeping with their mouths pouted.
, as if all suffering is not worth mentioning.
The fourth master looked at the child with a smile, "I won't have any more children in the future. These three are enough."
Lin Yutong nodded, that's enough.
The company was very quiet, except for the sound of rain and wind.
"Most of them left directly for Tangshan." Fourth Master whispered, "The rest are harvesting wheat. This year's rain has delayed the summer harvest, and if it rains again, the wheat will sprout." His wife and children are here.
All four of them needed his care, so they were left behind.
Lin Yutong nodded, there was nothing that could be done about natural disasters. She suddenly remembered something, and then took the fourth master's hand, "If possible, let's adopt a few orphans, okay?"
Fourth Master nodded, and then said softly: "You don't have to blame yourself, even if you say everything, it's useless." His voice was even lower, "Last year, the Earthquake Bureau successfully warned of a magnitude 7 earthquake in Haicheng.
And the news from Uncle Wang said that there were obvious signs before the earthquake, and the meaning behind this..." He reached out and made a 'four' sign, and then shook his head.
Lin Yutong was stunned.
She was silent. A person's power plays a negligible role in natural disasters and historical torrents.
"However, our conditions may not be suitable for this matter. But there are many ways to help people, right?" Fourth Master asked.
That's right! I have three children, and two of them are young. If they continue to go to school in the future, their financial ability will not be guaranteed in the eyes of others.
The two stopped the topic and looked down at their children.
Lin Yutong touched his belly, but it didn't shrink much. He didn't know if it was swollen or something else, but it looked scary.
"It's so ugly." Lin Yutong touched it dissatisfiedly. But now he lives in a tent and it's inconvenient to do anything.
This requires the assistance of acupuncture, otherwise the stomach will not be able to move for half a year.
As he was talking, there were footsteps outside, "Coming in?" It was Bai Xiaomei's voice.
"Come in." Lin Yutong said loudly.
Seeing her coming in with a lunch box and a plastic sheet, "You are finally awake." She looked at the three children and said, "You are amazing. That one in my family almost hurt me to death. You three are really killing me."
"It's done." He said, handing the lunch box to the Fourth Master, "My man managed to catch the crucian carp for two days, and stewed it. You can drink some. Now that it's raining, I don't dare to go to the river. I just touch it in the small ditch."
of."
"That person in your family didn't go to Tangshan?" Lin Yutong asked.
"That night, he was in a hurry to hug our family roots and accidentally twisted his foot." Bai Xiaomei shook her head, "He has a scholarly body and can't do anything. Now he can only do the same work as the old ladies.
Drying wheat."
"You are so busy, and you have to take care of your children when you have time, why are you still fishing?" Lin Yutong pointed to the edge of the bed and asked Bai Xiaomei to sit down.
"It's not that he wanted to fish, it was the shed we built that was flooded." Bai Xiaomei said, suddenly remembering that she was still busy, and immediately turned around, "Okay, you can use it. I'm still busy."
If I keep talking, there will be no end..."
Lin Yutong looked at the fourth master inexplicably, "What is she busy with?"
"They all live in sheds made of branches and plastic. You are going to have a confinement period, and the baby was born in the rain, so we gave you a small tent." The fourth master opened the lunch box, "I took everything else to Tangshan.
.”
The fish soup smells fishy, fishy, and earthy, but this is also what people want.
Lin Yutong ate them all.
In the evening, I had milk. The three children did not make a fuss, but only if they were full.
First hold Yusheng and eat. This child is domineering in feeding. Once you ask her to bite, she will never let go until she is full. You can't change her side even if you want to, she will immediately howl.
I want a daughter, but her temperament...
"Very good!" Fourth Master was very satisfied.
The girl is so domineering, is it okay?
The second child and the third child are usually fed together, each eating at the same time, because the third child can't wait for the second child to finish eating and will protest at the top of his voice.
This milk is definitely not enough to feed three children.
The fourth master always kept his daughter close to her to eat first, and then he went to prepare the milk powder. After the daughter was full, she fell asleep peacefully. Then each of them would hold a boy and let them eat at the same time. After Lin Yutong was sucked until she felt empty, she felt pain.
Put them all down, and the milk in the bottle will no longer be hot. Then the two boys can solve it with one bottle each.
Lin Yutong felt that if things continued like this, by the time the moon was full, the sizes of the three children would be easily distinguishable.
My daughter must have a big face, a double chin, and she has gained a lot of weight. My two sons probably want to gain weight, but they are very limited.
Is it really okay to be biased so obviously?
When Lin Yutong could simply get out of bed and take two steps, the fourth master went to the ground, and the wheat was still there. I heard that the water in the wheat field was up to his ankles. The wheat stalks also fell down, and the wheat ears were all soaked in water.
inside.
This year's grain production has been reduced by more than half.
The rest are sprouted.
It would be half a month before the wheat came back. The rain continued to fall, and it would clear up for half a day at most, and then it started again. I felt a few slight vibrations in the meantime, but it was okay.
After all, it was damp and cold in the tent. We couldn't live like this anymore. Fortunately, the house was not badly damaged. Taking advantage of the sunny weather for half a day, the fourth master carried the mother and son back.
The kang was also burned, and a layer of sheepskin was spread under the sheets. The whole room was damp due to the rain.
Finally, I can put diapers on my children at night. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep in the middle of the night. One child has to get up four or five times to change diapers, and three children won’t pee at the same time. So, it’s basically impossible to sleep.
Lin Yutong was originally worried that her belly would not shrink back, but it was already too small. It was due to exhaustion due to not being able to sleep all night. She kept getting up and lying down, repeating it countless times a day, and it quickly became smaller.
She can't hold the baby for long periods of time, otherwise her arms and hands will shake. She can't stand for long periods of time. Not only does her legs tremble, but her heels hurt like needles, and she also breaks out in sweats all over her body.
"It's hurting my body." The fourth master looked at Lin Yutong and said distressedly. After thinking about it, he comforted in a low voice, "The people in the company have also come back, and the autumn harvest has been delayed. The rain is so heavy that it is impossible to sow seeds. During this period,
Now that I have some free time, I will do nothing but serve you and make you fat and white."
Lin Yutong looked at him and smiled.
Fourth Master really does what he says. Although there is confinement rice prepared by Lin Yutong, there is not much left for one month. Her body is probably not going to be able to survive for three months without nourishment. So, she really only
I can rely on Fourth Master.
When he got up in the morning, he first went to put baskets in the river ditch, and then came back and gave Lin Yutong poached eggs. Four for a meal. Although the poached eggs had actually turned into a bowl of egg wadding, Lin Yutong still thought it was delicious. It was the most delicious in the world.
The eggs are nothing more than that.
At noon, I had a bowl of noodles or asparagus noodles, then put some green vegetables, a little salt and sesame oil. Although the noodles were all mushy, Lin Yutong ate them sweetly when looking at Fourth Master's embarrassed face.
"This is guaranteed to be ripe. If it is really immature, it will be difficult to digest. Maternal cough will be difficult to cure. This is very good, and it smells good."
To say that the most delicious fish is cooked by Mr. Fourth. He roughly scraped off the fish scales, then chopped off the head and tail. No, he cut the fish open in the middle and threw away everything inside. In this way, it is guaranteed
It's clean. The blood and water have been removed, and a heavy layer of ginger slices has been added. The fish soup has no fishy smell, but mostly smells of ginger.
Lin Yutong praised: "It's raining non-stop today and it's too humid. Ginger is just right to keep away the cold. It's humid in this house and I'm afraid of rheumatism."
The Fourth Master’s own meal consists of steamed buns stored in Lin Yutong’s space, paired with various canned meats.
But with such unpalatable soup, the milk supply becomes more and more abundant, and the three children can be fed. It is a bit lacking, so just add some milk powder. Anyway, when you look at it, each one looks like a steamed bun with yeast dough.
rose.
All the nutrition has been given to several children, but Lin Yutong has not yet been able to support himself.
Because I was nursing a baby, I didn’t dare to take medicine to regulate my body. I relied on space water to slowly nourish me.
This year, the company was unable to turn in any grain. There was no autumn harvest, and the summer grain was sprouted wheat.
I usually want to eat refined grains, but no one really wants to eat sprouted wheat. This stuff is ground into flour, and the steamed buns are green and sticky. The taste is really not good.
