In the blink of an eye, a month has passed and the twins are one month old.
Jiang Sanlang held a full-month banquet for his two children and invited relatives and friends to come and drink.
Most of the people who came to congratulate brought their young sons and grandchildren with them, and the six tables could not accommodate them all, so Jiang Sanlang built an open tent in the yard and set up a few more tables.
"Sanlang, congratulations."
The villagers brought a few eggs to the banquet and teased, "I didn't expect that you would give birth to two sons instead of one. What is this called? It's a result of accumulated experience, and it will become a sensation in one go. Hahaha."
Jiang Sanlang smiled innocently and bowed to the villagers, "Thank you very much, please come in and have a seat, the feast will begin soon."
"Okay, okay, go ahead and do your thing."
The villagers walked into the main room, brought the gifts to the accounting desk, and asked Jiang Erlang, who was writing the account books, to register them.
At this time, several more guests came over, and Jiang Sanlang hurried to greet them...
In the kitchen, the Jiang family sisters-in-law, Chunniang, and her mother's sister-in-law were busy cooking and steaming rice. Several neighboring women sat on small stools, helping to sort and wash vegetables while chatting about family matters.
The children were running around in the yard, laughing and playing.
For a time, Jiang Sanlang's family was bustling with people coming and going.
Inside the house, Yingbao stood beside the cradles of her two younger brothers, turning a rattle for them to see.
The little deer Youyou lay obediently at her feet, looking around with his big, innocent eyes and silently regurgitating the food in his mouth.
Da Ni, Er Ni and Yuan Bao also gathered around the cradle, craning their necks to look at their two identical little cousins.
"This is my oldest brother, Jiang Jie, and the one with the round face is my second oldest brother, Jiang Wu."
Yingbao never tires of introducing her twin brothers to everyone who comes to see the children so that they can tell them apart.
Yuan Bao blinked, still confused, "But their faces are all the same round."
Dani patted her brother and said, "Stupid! One of you has a round face and the other one doesn't."
Erni giggled and chimed in: "That's right!"
Yuanbao scratched the back of his head, feeling a little aggrieved.
After a while, Jiang Jie in the cradle began to become impatient, shaking his head and crying, and then little Jiang Wu also started crying.
When the two little ones started crying, the three siblings panicked and quickly went to call their aunt.
Yingbao was not in a hurry. She patted her brother and coaxed him slowly, whispering softly: "Xiaojie and Dawu must be hungry. Don't worry. You will have food when your mother comes."
Chunniang hurried over, picked up one of them, sat down, and lifted her clothes to feed her.
The other one cried even louder, as if he was very dissatisfied.
There was no other way, Chunniang had to hold both sons at the same time and feed one at a time.
After eating and drinking, the two little ones fell into a deep sleep.
Mrs. Jiang came in and said to her third daughter-in-law, "You should take care of the child and have a rest. You just came out of confinement. Don't get tired. You are not needed for things outside. Your eldest and second sisters-in-law are here for you."
Chunniang was indeed tired, and nodded: "Okay, I'll lie down for a while, and I'll trouble my elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to take care of the kitchen."
Mrs. Jiang hummed, turned around and pulled Yingbao up: "Yingbao, go out and play with your brothers and sisters. Your younger brother is with your mother."
"good."
When Yoyo saw his little master leaving, he quickly got up and followed.
So, Yingbao was followed by a deer, and next to her were Da Ni, Er Ni and Yuan Bao, who were protecting her. They went out into the yard to play together.
Actually, there is nothing fun to do outside. The weather has turned cold, even the leaves have fallen, and the ants and insects have disappeared.
I guess it will snow soon.
But children don’t think so. They can ride on bamboo poles and run happily all day long.
Soon after leaving the yard, the children in the village gathered around, talking about Yoyo, and some even reached out to touch it.
Yingbao reminded them, "Don't kick its butt, or you'll get kicked by Yoyo."
Now Youyou is no longer the young deer it once was. It has grown very tall, a whole circle larger than an ordinary mountain deer, and with its four strong hooves, it is almost like a foal.
If you put on a saddle and tie a rein, you can let your child ride it as a horse.
Yingbao did have this idea, but customizing a saddle would cost a lot of money, so she put it on hold for the time being.
The children quickly retracted their hands, chirping and surrounding Yoyo with envy on their faces.
This deer has become a famous deer in the village. Every child has watched it, and most have touched it. Even the kids from Xichen Village often come just to catch a glimpse of its beautiful face.
Yingbao had also seen the two daughters of Chen Changping coming over, but she felt nothing at all.
Let the things in her past life go by, and now she doesn’t want to have anything to do with them.
"Are you Yingbao?"
A haggard-looking village woman stood not far away, staring at Yingbao.
Yingbao didn't need to turn her head to tell who the woman was who was speaking.
Her biological mother, Han Ju Niang, had been watching for an unknown amount of time.
Yingbao was startled, but she quickly calmed down, pretending she didn't hear anything, and turned to Yuanbao and said, "Brother Yuanbao, can I go to your place to read?"
She has already learned the Three Character Classic from Yuanbao, and is currently reading the Thousand Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames. I believe that soon she will be able to write openly.
"Okay." Yuanbao nodded without hesitation.
As soon as his little cousin went to school, Yoyo became his responsibility.
Seeing Yingbao was about to leave, the woman stepped forward and blocked her way, saying again: "You are Yingbao, right? Do you know who your real parents are?"
Yingbao rolled her eyes, "My real parents are Jiang Sanlang and Xu Chunniang, who are you? Why are you stopping me?"
Han Ju Niang wiped away her nonexistent tears and said excitedly: "No! They are not your biological parents..."
Yingbao didn't wait for her to finish, she pulled Yuanbao up and ran towards her uncle's house, turning back and cursing, "Bad woman!"
Han Ju'niang was stunned on the spot.
Yingbao ran into her uncle's house in one breath, and seeing her cousins and cousins following her, she quickly asked them to close the gate.
There is no one at my uncle's house at the moment. My grandparents and uncle and aunt have all gone to their own homes to help. My eldest and second cousins are not at home either.
Yingbao covered her chest and gasped, her mind a little confused.
How dare this woman come here so early
It wasn't like this in my previous life. I remember the first time Han came to my house was when I was a little over four years old.
Yingbao looked down at her wrist.
The birthmark on it hasn't been removed yet, so I can't let that woman make it clear.
"Why did Yingbao scold her?" Erni wondered. She recognized the woman, she seemed to be from Xichen Village.
Dani was a little older than her, so she understood what the woman was talking about, so she glared at her sister and said, "She is a bad woman for trying to sow discord!"
Everyone in the family knows that Yingbao is not Uncle San's biological daughter, but so what? As long as Uncle San and Aunt San treat her as their own daughter, that's enough.
That woman said that kind of thing just to sow discord between Yingbao and her uncle and aunt.
"Oh." Erni was only six years old after all, and was still a little confused, but she also knew that the family should unite against the enemy, so she nodded vigorously and said, "Then let's go tell Uncle San." Beat that bad woman.
Dani also had the same idea and asked Yingbao, "How about we go find Uncle San?"
Yingbao shook her head, "Not for now."
Today is her brother's full moon day, and there are so many guests at home, she can't give Han the opportunity to make it clear in front of everyone.
I guess Han didn't have the face to say it out loud, so she came to me, hoping to find a breakthrough through the child.
"What if she is still outside?" Although Dani was sensible, she was only nine years old and had never encountered such a situation, so she felt a little uneasy.
Yuanbao pried through the crack in the door and whispered, "The bad woman is not outside."
He turned his head to look at his little cousin and patted his chest: "I'll go out and see if she has left."
"Well, go ahead, but don't talk to her and don't call anyone." Yingbao warned.
"Okay, I'll just take a look from a distance." Yuanbao took Youyou out.
