The birth of new life is the beginning of all miracles.
There was joy and laughter in the room, and everyone gathered around the bed to look at the newborn, with a look of joy on their faces.
But the baby didn't buy it anymore. Amidst the happy discussion, she started crying. She probably felt that her ears were buzzing and it was too noisy.
She opened her mouth, howling in grievance, revealing two rows of flesh-pink gums. Ye Yaodong's smile deepened as he looked at her face.
"It must be too noisy. Go out. You two brats go out and play. Don't keep touching her. She's going to sleep."
"Dad, can I sleep with my sister tonight?"
"No, you two are too bad at sleeping. You will kick her. You two should go sleep on the cot."
Ye Chengyang blinked, "Should I go to sleep in the crib too?"
"Yes, let's go out and play. If you obey in two days, you will have red wedding eggs and mandarin duck cakes..."
As soon as the two said they wanted to eat, they immediately nodded happily and went out to play together.
At this time, Mother Ye also came over to help clean up after dinner. When she saw the diaper she had just changed in the basin, she took it to the back door to wash it.
After returning to the house, she said: "Something happened to your cousin-in-law, did you know?"
The smiles on the couple's faces froze for a moment, and they looked at each other. Ye Yaodong frowned and said, "Lin Jianqiang? The one who was arrested for gambling two days ago?"
"Yes, I just met your aunt on the way back for dinner. She said that Aqiang might be sentenced. Your cousin Meiying was crying at home."
He was surprised. It was just a small bet. It should only be a detention fine, right? How could he be sentenced?
During the Chinese New Year, the whole village here is playing cards and gambling for money.
Lin Xiuqing also asked in confusion: "Shouldn't I just be detained for a few days?"
"I heard that I had a conflict with one of the people I gambled with and was accused of stealing a bicycle, so I need to be dealt with strictly."
Should!
It turns out that in addition to gambling, he also has a criminal record.
Then he might as well have made a mistake.
The old lady also frowned, "What's this? One by one...they have their hands and feet, so why don't they do something serious?"
"It's so easy to quit gambling once you get into it. No matter how hard you get into it, it won't harm the family. His wife won't be a drag on the family. He can support the children if he works harder, and his life won't be a mess. Without him, the whole family will not be in trouble."
Can live a better life.”
He felt that his actions saved a family...
Mother Ye nodded in agreement, "That's right, it would be better without him."
The old lady sighed and patted his hand, "You are still good, you didn't touch anything you shouldn't have, and you were honest."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
Lin Xiuqing: Be good???
Ye Mu: Honestly???
Ye Yaodong sneered, being a waste is his advantage!
"Okay, it's getting dark, and Ah Qing is exhausted from giving birth in the afternoon. Let's go to bed early in the evening. Let's go back first and come back tomorrow morning."
"Well, you should be careful on the road after dark and walk slowly."
After Ye's mother helped the old lady out, Ye Yaodong called the two children back to sleep.
He was exhausted from the whole day today. He was worried about everything after going to sea. He was exhausted both physically and mentally. Fortunately, mother and daughter were safe.
After ordering the two sons not to quarrel and to go to bed 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 mind 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 soon they were laughing loudly.
"If you keep arguing, I will move the crib to another room tomorrow and you will sleep in a separate room."
He fell silent instantly.
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 his eyes had just closed a moment ago, and he had to get up again within five minutes.
Then, just after dawn, Ye Mu came over to cook breakfast for them, and cooked confinement meals for Ah Qing alone.
He didn't have to sleep anymore.
With a big black eye, I got up and rode my bicycle to the town. I bought all the things my mother told me I should buy. I also bought cigarettes, wine and snacks, which were to be sent to Secretary Chen's house.
It wasn't until he got home, saw a row of diapers hanging on a bamboo pole at the door, and counted the number of diapers that he realized how many times he had gotten up last night.
8 diapers, but I didn’t eat much, and yet I could still poop like that? He also accepted it.
After putting down all the things his mother asked him to buy, he took the specially prepared generous gifts 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 his things down and wait until after dinner before going back, but he was not at home and said he was going to a meeting.
He had to wait until the next morning with the red eggs to come to the door, but this time he got stuck in a crowd.
"I want to come to express my gratitude but I still can't find anyone. Secretary Chen is really a busy man."
"It's been a very busy period of time. The whole county is cracking down hard. You were in such danger the day before yesterday. It happened to be that you were pregnant at that time. If it had been a step later, I wouldn't have been able to protect you."
After Secretary Chen heard Aguang whispering to him the day before yesterday, he felt a little worried for them.
"Yes, it was born in time. Fortunately, you helped delay the time. Thank you very much. The red eggs that just rolled out also make you happy."
"Thank you. The thing about helping is that you will have to pay a fine, and your wife has to go for a sterilization. Originally, I asked you to go in the next two days, but I interceded and you can wait until after the confinement."
Ye Yaodong sighed in his heart. Sure enough, there were people in the court who were easy to do. It would be nice to suffer less.
"Thank you for your help in interceding. I will pay whatever fine you have, as long as you can suffer less."
"I could have made the decision to fine you a smaller fine, but your timing was so good the day before yesterday. When those people went in and found out it was a newborn, their faces turned black. When they came back, we asked for a bigger fine."
Hold!
"Isn't it up to the village to decide how much the fine will be? How much will the fine be now?"
"We have discussed it, and there is no need to fine him more. Just like everyone else in the village, he will be fined 500."
He frowned and then relaxed instantly, "That's okay, thank you very much. I'll go home later to get the money and pay it to the brigade."
I thought I was going to be fined thousands, but 500 was fine.
In the village next door, I heard that a wealthy family was fined 1,000 yuan. Just because their family bought a TV, they were fined more than others.
"Well, don't worry, just hand it in within a few days."
"It's better to hand it in earlier than later."
"It's up to you, I'm going to work."
"Hey, wait, let me ask you something..." Ye Yaodong thought of what his mother said the day before yesterday and quickly stopped Secretary Chen.
Secretary Chen just stepped out and stopped again, "What's going on?"
"I heard that Lin Jianqiang will be sentenced. Is it true?"
"Oh, yes, he is your relative. I also went to a meeting yesterday afternoon and happened to take the report. He was sentenced to ten years. He was also unlucky. He ran into him at this pass and stole. He was so unlucky.
I was given a heavy sentence. If it had been a few months earlier, I would have been fined a little, and I would have been released after being imprisoned for half a month."
"It's only been a few days since you were arrested? How come you were sentenced so quickly?"
"Nowadays, 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."
It's okay, just squat for ten years! You'll save yourself from harming others.
"It has been changed. In addition, in recent years, educated youths have returned to the city one after another. Those young people have nothing to do, and it is easy to cause troubles when they have nothing to do."
"Who says it's not...sigh..." Secretary Chen said, clasping his hands behind his back, sighing and walking out.
After learning that the gambler was sentenced to ten years, Ye Yaodong felt relieved and immediately took the money to pay the fine when he returned home.
In their rural areas, the village basically has the final say on everything, and fines are handed over to the village.
Once the money was paid, the matter was over.
Lin Xiuqing found out that Lin Jianqiang had been sentenced to ten years, but she felt it was a bit too harsh...
"It's been a long time... I thought it was just a few days."
"He deserves it. Whoever lets him steal, if he is guilty of hooliganism, it will be even worse. He will be shot directly!"
"The security outside is too chaotic now."
Mother Ye came in with the stewed eggs and said: "It's better to catch them, so as not to force your cousin to borrow money for him everywhere. I didn't know he could gamble before. Come and eat it while it's hot..."
Ye Mu cracked three eggs and added red dates, longan, and brown sugar to the stewed eggs. They looked dark red.
Lin Xiuqing only ate two, then handed the bowl and spoon to Ye Yaodong, "I'm full, you eat..."
"This is specially stewed for you. You can eat more, but I won't eat it."
"I just had longevity noodles cooked with wine for breakfast. It's only 9 o'clock. Mom has stewed eggs again. I can't eat them. You can help me eat them. Don't waste it."
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to take the spoon from her and eat the egg.
In the past two days, he had eaten her leftover confinement meals, because her confinement meals included wine, either fish soup with wine, longevity noodles with wine, or white shrimp stewed in wine, all soups with wine.
The two sons couldn't eat the water, so it all went into their stomachs.
He also obviously felt that he was gaining weight...
"I can't eat that much. I'll just ask my mother to stew two of them next time."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said nothing.
Mother Ye interjected, "I'm worried that she won't have enough to eat. She can't be hungry just after giving birth. I saved a lot of eggs and saved them early. In addition to taking some hatching chicks, the rest is enough for her to eat."
, and several big roosters. I have been raising them for more than a year. I killed one in the morning and stewed it. I have been feeding her these two days."
He said it was to serve her with rice, but he also ate chicken heads, necks, and feet...
It's only been a few days, and he can pinch out a lot of soft flesh from his waist.
I almost fell asleep while writing, there is still another chapter to be published tomorrow during the day
Chapter completed!
