Qin Rou's belly is getting bigger day by day, the two little brothers Zhouzhou and Jiaozi like to surround their mother, interact with the younger sisters in their mother's belly, and even sing to them.
"Little Swallow, wearing a floral dress, comes here every spring..."
The two brothers sang back and forth, but the most experienced and sweetest song was "Little Swallow", which was the only song that was still in tune.
Listening to her sons singing, Qin Rou showed a tired but relieved smile, at least these two little guys can still sing "Little Swallow".
"Sister likes listening to brother sing!"
"Mom, when is my sister coming out?!"
Little Dumpling stayed by his mother's side, he couldn't wait to see his younger sister, the two younger sisters who would call him ba ba, cute little sisters.
"When the Chinese New Year is eating dumplings, our little sisters will come out, um, they will definitely come out to eat dumplings." Qin Rou's due date is around January of 1977, which is before the Chinese New Year. The two little ones should be at their home by New Year's Eve.
Little Dumpling: "..." The younger sister rushing out to eat dumplings
It sounds a bit bad.
"Mom, what if my sister wants to eat me?"
Qin Rou smiled: "Our little dumpling brother is different from dumplings. My sisters like little dumpling brother, and also like to eat small dumplings on New Year's Eve. Our little dumpling also likes dumplings, right?"
Little dumpling: "..." There are a lot of dumplings going around.
Zhou Zhou said: "I'll make dumplings for my sister!"
"I also make dumplings for my sister! Dumpling brother makes dumplings for my sister."
"Well, our little brother made dumplings for my sister." Qin Rou thought, I'm afraid my sister will have to wait another year or two before she can eat the little dumplings made by her brothers.
Brothers Zhou Zhou and Jiaozi worked together to sing for their younger sister, and their father Lu Yan rediscovered his own violin. He wanted to practice the tune hard and give prenatal education to the two babies in his wife's womb.
The first time he was born, the second time he was acquainted. After so many years, Lu Yan's violin skills have improved a lot. Leaving aside other tunes, the song "Little Swallow" is perfect.
This song can be said to be smooth and melodious.
Captain Lu's only proficient song.
—It was all trained by two sons.
Qin Rou held the baton, Lu Yan played the violin, and the two brothers sang in the yard, and immediately formed a small family band.
Lu Zongyi and Jiang Ping and their little grandson Xia Mingxi sat under the thatched hut as spectators.
"Get ready, get up!"
Lu Yan played the violin, and the two identical little boys sang, not to mention, they still looked good, and the song "Little Swallow" sang melodiously.
Passers-by who did not know the truth in the family courtyard praised one after another:
"Your Lu family is indeed talented in art!"
"Two young singers in the future."
"It's different to marry a daughter-in-law from a cultural troupe."
…
Faced with these compliments, Lu Yan and his son readily accepted them. Zhou Zhou and Jiaozi also felt that they were particularly good at singing and could set a good example for their younger sister.
Lu Zongyi clapped his hands: "You should ask Lao Wang to come over and listen. We Lu family members are so artistic."
Jiang Ping: "Show face."
Qin Rou touched her belly, thinking that the prenatal education music these two children got was much better than their brother's, at least it was music that could be heard.
However, the three of Lu Yan, father and son seemed to be blown away by the rainbow farts of outsiders, and decided to practice new tunes.
Little Jiaozi: "I want to learn to play the qin."
Zhouzhou: "I want to too."
Qin Rou, Lu Zongyi, Jiang Ping: "..." No, you don't want to!
After receiving a few compliments, Lu Yan was looked at with envious and admiring eyes by her two sons, and immediately "good as a teacher", she readily agreed: "Okay, Dad will teach you."
Zhou Zhou and Xiao Jiaozi cheered: "Daddy is awesome!"
"The elder brother plays the violin for the younger sister."
"Sister likes it!"
Qin Rou wanted to be bad, but it turned out that among the three father and son, one dared to teach, and the other dared to learn. The three of them learned the violin in the yard.
Among musical instruments, although the violin has an elegant and pleasant sound, it is difficult to start learning the violin. What does it mean that it is difficult to start? It means that the sound pulled out is strange.
For example, musical instruments such as the guzheng, even if you don’t know how to play the guzheng, if you fiddle with it casually, the music of the guzheng that is out of tune is still pleasant and will not become a maddening noise.
And the violin...
I'm afraid many people can't imagine that this elegant and beautiful violin can make such maddening and fidgeting sounds as "nails across the blackboard" and "sawing wood".
The three father and son began to teach violin.
Qin Rou: "..." Save, save... life!
One child saws wood and forgets, another rubs his fingernails against a blackboard.
Lu Zongyi, Jiang Ping and his wife have long been experienced. When Lu Yan was learning the violin when he was young, they had heard the sound of sawing wood for several years. What about the sound
In the normal tune, there is inexplicably a noise of sawing wood, which only makes people want to hit someone.
Lu Yan: "..."
Lu Yan heard the voices of the two sons, and Captain Lu could hardly listen anymore.
But as a father, he can't say anything to dampen the self-confidence of his sons, he can only encourage Zhouzhou and Jiaozi, "Come on."
Qin Rou directed him: "Take the child to play the piano elsewhere, and come back after playing."
For the sake of the physical and mental health of his daughters, Lu Yan took the two children to the seaside port to play the violin.
The two cute children learned the violin, and they were watched by a group of navy uncles, all of whom wanted to hear them play music.
"Lu Yan, these two children in your family will probably be liked by girls in the future."
"Yo, I've already learned the violin, play one for your uncle."
…
A few men in military uniform surrounded Zhouzhou Dumpling and two cute babies played the violin. The two kids were not shy and started playing the violin in a serious manner.
After everyone listened, their spirits were shaken: "..."
Especially Li Youtie of the submarine brigade, he patted his head in a daze.
Do you know what is the most uncomfortable thing about being underwater in a submarine? It's a high-decibel noise.
Listening to the two children playing the piano, he felt in a daze that he was still underwater, which sounded worse than being underwater.
"Lu Yan, you two children are suitable for submarines."
"Naturally well adapted."
Lu Yan: "Fuck you, is my son's voice so ugly?"
Although it is indeed ugly for children to play the violin, as the father of the child, he must protect the two cubs in front of outsiders.
"My son has growth potential, just wait and see, have you forgotten that their mother came from the art troupe?"
Li Youtie: "..."
Hope he can hear it soon.
After the sound of the violin in Lu's house, the sound of the erhu in the house next door followed, but this was not a good thing for Mr. Huang.
When I was pregnant last time, listening to my old Zhang's erhu sound was a relief.
But this time, Zhang Chengbei didn't want to learn anything well, but he wanted to learn from Lu Yan from the next door. Lu Yan from the next door taught his two children how to play the violin, so he taught his son Dundun to play the erhu.
Zhang Chengbei said proudly: "Don't worry, our son is like me, he must be better than the neighbor next door."
Huang Xinying: "...Can't I learn after I give birth to the child?"
"No." Zhang Chengbei flatly denied: "Both Zhou Zhou and Dumpling play the violin for my younger sister. Doesn't our family's Dundun want to play the erhu for my younger sister?"
"Dundun, do you want to?"
"think!"
This is not the most desperate, the scariest thing is that Li Qinghua practiced what she said before, she sent her own daughter Tiaotiao to Zhang's family to learn to play the erhu.
"Head Zhang, you are such a capable man, you can definitely teach my daughter how to play the erhu, I'm just waiting to hear my daughter play the tune for me."
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang!!!" Xiao Tiaotiao also liked Zhang Chengbei very much. She cheered happily and said, "I want to learn how to play the erhu from Uncle Zhang!!"
Huang Xinying struggled with the current situation. For example, she asked her son, "Do you want to learn the violin from Uncle Lu, who lives next door?"
"No." Dundun shook his head: "I want to learn how to play the erhu from my father!"
"Uncle Lu's violin is not as good as Dad's. He can only play a few pieces, so he has to learn from Dad!"
Xiao Tiaotiao also disliked it and said: "Zhou Zhou Dumpling plays the violin so ugly!!"
"Dundun, let's learn Erhu!"
"that is!"
Head Zhang held the erhu in his hand, and his expression was particularly proud. He quietly said to Huang Xinying: "Look, these two children still have eyes."
Teacher Huang: "..." Hehe.
The three from the neighbor's family learned to play the violin, and the three from the Zhang family learned to play the erhu. Playing the erhu was as good as the violin. At the beginning, it was ugly, and Huang Xinying couldn't help it.
"Let's go, let's go, you also take the two children to study outside, don't make trouble at home."
Zhang Chengbei had no choice but to go out with Dundun and Tiaotiao to play the erhu. On the way, he met someone who knew him, and someone asked curiously: "Old Zhang, is this your daughter? This is your son?"
"The two children look alike!"
Zhang Chengbei: "... Where does it look like?"
"Look at this hand, look at this posture of pulling the erhu, don't these two children look alike?"
"These two children are twins, right?"
Zhang Chengbei explained to others: "This is not my daughter, but the old Liu's family—"
"dad!"
Liu Tiaotiao hugged Zhang Chengbei's leg, "Father, don't you want me?"
Zhang Chengbei: "..."
How did the old Liu family teach their children? ! ! !
Inexplicably, he had an extra daughter.
Gu Cheng, as the deputy team leader, often heard the team leader Lu Yan playing the violin in the evening recently, and the people in the team said to him: "Gu deputy team leader, you should also learn from the team leader Lu, so that you can please the girls in the future." .”
"Look at how happy Dui Lu is. He married a beautiful daughter-in-law from an art troupe, and now he has almost four children."
Gu Cheng: "...not interested."
Looking at Lu Yan's back in front of him, Gu Cheng couldn't help frowning. Their old Gu knew about the news that Lu Yan's wife was pregnant with twins, so he called and scolded Gu Cheng bloody.
"Look at you, how much older is Lu Yan than you? How much older is Lu Yan than you?"
"He's already the captain of the brigade, let's not mention that, he has a good family and career, married a beautiful wife, and has four children..."
"Look at you, how can you compare to Lu Yan?"
Gu Cheng: "..."
He wants to curse.
But Gu Cheng didn't feel angry because of this, because he had already discovered that ever since he found out that his wife was pregnant with two children, the pressure on their Captain Lu's shoulders had doubled, and he couldn't even talk about it anymore. Maturity and introversion are actually worrying.
It is estimated that he will soon become one of those old regiment leaders who are full of complaints, and the four children are on top of him.
Every day I worry about children playing, being naughty, fighting in the yard, not studying, not doing homework...
Gu Cheng whistled: "Brother Lu, this man should persevere to the end and don't compromise with the old men."
Just like him, if you don’t talk about your partner, you don’t talk about your partner. Whoever loves to get married will get married, alone, looking at the sea to be happy and at ease, why bother to have a big family and worry about your shoulders.
Lu Yan looked at him inexplicably: "When did your brother and I compromise?"
"You, just be stubborn and don't admit it."
"If you weren't married back then, your Brother Lu would still be Brother Lu."
Lu Yan raised her eyebrows and glanced at him: "Even if I get married, you, Brother Lu, and I are still your Brother Lu."
"Boy, do you want to get married too?" Lu Yan took off his hat and put it back on him.
"Brother Lu, I don't introduce people to others, but I can serve as your adviser. Brother Lu has a good reputation as an adviser in the past."
Gu Cheng put on his hat: "I will never invite you, Staff Officer Lu."
"You, you are a bachelor for the rest of your life." Captain Lu didn't bother to talk to him.
Qin Rou was pregnant with twins, and when the people from the radio station heard the news, they all came to congratulate her. Zeng Xueqing, who was also an announcer, laughed and teased her: "Our little Qin is really lucky!"
"Tsk tsk." Zeng Xueqing shook her head. The Qin Rou in front of her was still so young and beautiful. In the past few years, every time a newcomer came to the radio station, she had to inquire about Xiao Qin's situation in private, and asked these old people: Does Xiao Qin have a date
It's not just about having a partner, they have two children, and now it's even more serious, they have four children.
"Give another pair of daughters!"
Qin Rou smiled: "I also want to have a pair of daughters."
"For some people, a good life is really a good life." Xi Xiangyi said this with a bit of yin and yang.
At first, her relationship with Qin Rou was not bad, but it gradually changed. Ever since Xi Xiangyi insisted on persuading Qin Rou to work at night, Qin Rou gradually alienated her.
Not just this one reason, there are other reasons.
Xi Xiangyi has been asking Qin Rou to introduce her to someone, especially wanting Qin Rou to introduce an officer to her. She used to despise those reckless men who don't understand style. Seeing that Qin Rou has a happy family, she thinks that naval officers are romantic Yes, I want to marry a naval officer, and I have to be an officer on a warship.
Qin Rou had introduced two or three to her, but Xi Xiangyi was dissatisfied with none of them, and it was rumored among colleagues that Qin Rou introduced her randomly.
She didn't like the ones that Qin Rou introduced to her. The first one was young and good-looking. Xi Xiangyi despised his low position and wanted to take a second look. The second and third... the high position is high , the age is also getting higher, and the appearance and height can't keep up. Now she thinks that the first one is better, but the first one is like a sweet potato, and was chosen by others.
Xi Xiangyi felt that Qin Rou was torturing her on purpose, saying that each of the partners Qin Rou introduced was worse than the other. This made Qin Rou laugh angrily. Xi Xiangyi's limited range was so narrow, she put the best one at the beginning. The candidate recommended to her, this one is not in her fancy, so there are others left
If you introduce bad ones to her at the beginning, and then introduce good ones, you have to blame her for not introducing good ones earlier, or when you see his position, you have to complain: "Why is the position getting lower and lower?"
Qin Rou heard what she had said in private behind her back, but she didn't say much. Instead, she introduced two other girls from the radio station to several male officers. It's time to have a baby.
"The person Xiao Qin introduced is pretty good."
"Isn't that right, Xiao Yao has also become an officer's wife."
…
After the other two couples got married, Xi Xiangyi was so angry that she didn't even have a second choice, and she watched other people marry a male officer whom she didn't like, and lived a happy life. Still dangling in front of her every day.
Qin Rou didn't introduce people indiscriminately. When selecting people, she deliberately picked character and family background. She didn't dare to introduce people with bad character.
"I won't introduce people to others in the future. I'm afraid that if I really succeed in matching, the husband and wife will quarrel and scold me as the introducer at home every day."
Qin Rou no longer introduces objects to others.
Zeng Xueqing said: "She doesn't want to be like your Captain Lu."
"But you just don't introduce it to her."
Qin Rou said: "She hasn't seen Lu Yan a few times either."
"I haven't seen you before, but I see you every day. You live happily every day, and every time you drink water, you still sneak a few photos of your old Lu." Zeng Xueqing winked at her.
"Cough—" When I have nothing to do when I'm resting, Qin Rou will sneak a few glances at Lu Yan's photo, "Sister Zeng, you found out."
"Anyone with eyes knows how close you two are."
"You said why did the leader of your unit introduce such a good partner to you?"
Qin Rou smiled: "It must have been a mistake."
Who knew that when the two of them went on a blind date, they both had the idea of going through the motions, and they ended up getting together.
Seeing that the two of them were having a good chat, Xi Xiangyi ignored her, feeling bored. She thought that Qin Rou was pregnant with a child, and secretly expected her to have a pair of daughters...
It is true that patriarchal families do not want to have daughters, but they are different. They already have two sons and are looking forward to the arrival of their daughter.
Let her have a pair of twins
This is even more serious, and they all have to praise her for being blessed.
Having twin sons
That's four sons, and many families can't have four sons if they want to.
No matter what happens to Qin Rou, she will be blessed.
Xi Xiangyi was depressed.
Ye Mingxiu was confinement, and her elder sister Ye Mingjuan came to Qiongzhou Island. The marriage between Ye Mingjuan and the factory director's son Li Jin ended, because Li Jin discovered Ye Mingjuan's true nature and realized that Ye Mingjuan was not the one he liked. Girl, the first person he was attracted to was Ye Mingxiu.
The Ye family said to the Li family: "Mingxiu went to Qiongzhou Island to be an educated youth, and she is married now, a soldier. We didn't mention it at first, but we also wanted to marry your family."
"The two sisters look the same, what's the difference between sister and sister?"
"I like Mingxiu, not Ye Mingjuan."
Li Jin didn't agree to this marriage, that's fine, their Li family's parents shamelessly went to Ye Mingjuan and asked her to return the things Li Jin bought her.
"If you give it, it's mine, so why pay it back?"
"Because you are a liar, you lied to my son's feelings, pretended to be your sister, and yelled about making Xiao Jin buy things for you, shameless things, bah!"
The Li family came to ask for the things back, which made Ye Mingjuan's face dull, and the neighbors all around came to laugh at her.
After being depressed for a while, Ye Mingjuan suddenly wanted to go to Qiongzhou Island to visit her younger sister. She wanted to see what happened to her younger sister Ye Mingxiu after she got married. Although she failed to marry the factory director's son, Ye Mingxiu also married a desert island soldier. , I still don't know what kind of hard life it was.
But when she went to the family courtyard and the family room where her younger sister lived, Ye Mingjuan couldn't laugh because she found that her younger sister married a male officer with good conditions. He was good-looking and an officer.
After knowing Zhao Jianghong's family background and the identity of his sister and brother-in-law, Ye Mingjuan's eyes were about to turn red.
—Her sister married such a good person? !
"Ye Mingxiu, you are fine now. You have become the wife of an officer, and you don't want to introduce a good date to your sister."
Ye Mingjuan died in the family courtyard and wanted to marry a male officer. She also took a fancy to Gu Cheng in the publicity photo, and ran to Qin Rou to ask her to introduce him.
Qin Rou didn't introduce her to her, so she tried to get in front of Gu Cheng, but was criticized by Gu Cheng coldly, and left the island disheartened.
"When did you say that Vice Captain Gu will find a partner?"
"Even now, there are still people asking me to introduce someone to Gu Cheng."
Qin Rou didn't want to be a matchmaker, but because of Comrade Gu, someone still came to ask her to match Gu Cheng, which made Qin Rou very annoying.
"Wait another year or two, and if you know he's not interested in getting married, no one will talk to him."
"I don't believe it, he is a golden bachelor now." Qin Rou sighed, with such an elderly and outstanding male officer here, there are probably many people who want to pick this high mountain flower.
Lu Yan raised his handsome eyebrows: "He is a golden bachelor, what am I?"
Qin Rou narrowly said: "You, the father of four children, no one looks at a weed on the side of the road."
Lu Yan laughed: "Okay, I'm a weed."
"Do you regret your early marriage? You can still be a golden bachelor now."
"I don't regret it, I only regret that I didn't marry you, a little wild flower, back sooner. I will weed you wild flower, and we are hugging each other by the side of the road. No one will miss you the best."
"My mother of four children, who dares to miss me?"
Lu Yan hugged her in his arms with a smile, "I'm going to be my golden bachelor, it's none of our business, I just want to hug my wife."
Qin Rou slapped his face away with a smile: "Not promising."
"Brother Lu, I'm obviously very promising."
I had the experience of being pregnant with twins once, and this time I was pregnant with twins again. The whole family has experience in serving pregnant women. Qin Rou lived very comfortably throughout her pregnancy. Zhou Zhou and Jiaozi saw her mother's big belly and knew that her mother was working hard and would change. Become two little warm boys to take care of their mother and sister.
Communicate with the child in the mother's womb through the belly, and tell stories to the younger sister.
"Tell a baby shark story!"
"Mom, why hasn't my sister come out yet, she's as big as a pineapple."
"Soon."
On January 7, 1977, Qin Rou activated it at noon, and the due date was approaching. Qin Rou was resting at home, and there was something wrong with her stomach. Lao Lu, his wife and the family members drove her to the hospital .
Knowing the news in the evening, Lu Yan asked for leave in a hurry, and ran to the hospital without stopping.
It was a coincidence that he arrived at the door of the delivery room. The baby inside was born. Lu Zongyi and Jiang Ping both stood up. Qin Rou's sister, Qin Mian, was also here. Next to him were Xia Mingxi, Chen Jingyi and Zhou Zhou Dumpling. .
Little Dumpling's eyes lit up: "It's my sister!"
Lu Zongyi's heart skipped a beat, and his whole body trembled before he knew the result. What kind of twins did the youngest daughter-in-law give birth to
A second child followed.
A nurse came out of the delivery room, but Lu Yan went to see his wife without asking any questions.
A group of people outside looked at the nurse eagerly.
"Will my daughter-in-law give birth to two boys or two girls? Are they twins?"
Female nurse: "..."
Being watched by so many pairs of eyes outside made her nervous, there are so many people in the maternity house.
Zhouzhou and Jiaozi said excitedly, "It's my sister!!"
The nurse looked down at the twin brothers and was stunned: "..."
"Girl, why don't you talk?"
"Oh..." The female nurse came back to her senses, "Congratulations, they are twin sisters."
"They... look exactly alike."
"Are these two their brothers?"
