Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 457: A Good Show at the Spring Festival Gala
"Little Third is back,"

Mother Jiang handed out a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs from the window of the small kitchen: "That's great, help me bring this dish in."

Ever since Ying Ruhua disappeared from her family's care, Jiang's mother suddenly returned to the days when she was busy all the time.

"Look, I don't have any extra hands."

Jiang Shan shook the thing in his hand: "Jiang Chuan, knife handle, come over and help quickly."

When Jiang Lao San called out, Jiang Ma immediately showed a look of disdain: "It would be better if she didn't come. Once she came, I would be even busier."

"You just didn't use enough."

Jiangshan gave his mother some advice: "If you have nothing to do, just give her more orders. I'm sure her business level will improve."

As he was speaking, Jiang Chuan had already run over from in front of the video camera.

As he walked, he took a few more glances inside and was reluctant to throw away the handful of melon seeds in his hand.

You can tell at first glance that he's not here to work.

"I'm telling you, Ogawa,"

Jiang Shan glared at his little sister and said, "Don't think about Shanghai Beach until mom leaves the kitchen. Go and help."

"Little brother~"

"Don't try that on me,"

In order to make his younger sister loyally help him, Jiang Shan said:

"As long as you help me, I'll take you out for a trip after the New Year."

"Look at what you are saying, little brother."

Jiang Chuan turned and went into the kitchen: "Even if you don't take me anywhere, I will still help you here, right, mom?"

"..." Mother Jiang looked at her little girl:
"Alright, alright, help me take the dishes out first, they're almost full."

"Okay," Jiang Chuan smiled and picked up two plates of food: "Brother, where are you going to take me after the New Year?"

"Where are we going?" Jiang Shan smiled and pointed at "Shanghai Beach" on TV: "Hong Kong!"

……

The reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve was so delicious.

Moutai, Petit Champagne, all the bottles that should be opened have been opened.

The whole table was filled with drunken chatter.

When there were only a few male comrades left in the end, they almost failed to elect the next leadership team.

"Okay, okay, that's enough for today,"

Jiangshan felt that his wine was almost ready:
"Look at you guys, you're arguing like a real one. If you don't know better, you might think you have the final say."

Comrade Jiang Hai blushed: "This is just a family chat."

"I'm not chatting with you for fun," Jiang's father stood up with the help of the wall, "If you don't believe me, look down."

"Dad," Jiang He helped his father up, "Please go into the house and wait for a while."

……

On February 1981, 2, people did not yet have the habit of watching the Spring Festival Gala on New Year’s Eve.

Even though Pujiang TV station has been shouting this for almost two months.

However, according to the custom of previous years, the main entertainment activity at this time is still setting off firecrackers.

In the yard, Jiangshan carried out a large cardboard box from the house.

Jiang Hai took the two children and took it over immediately.

There was a whole box of fireworks and firecrackers placed on the ground, which dazzled them.

Jiang Hai handed the third brother a cigarette and said, "Just put it here?"

Jiang Shan looked ahead and said, "Why don't we go to the front? It'll take a lot of people to put this thing on."

"Then let's go," Jiang Hai waved his hand, "Go to the masses."

"Uncle San, how did you put this green fat guy?"

"Uncle San, can I hold this in my hand?"

"Don't turn it over,"

Jiang Shan picked up the two little heads from the cardboard boxes, one in each hand: "Go find the editor-in-chief quickly."

"Editor-in-Chief,"

"dad,"

Xiaoyu and Xiaobai chased after him with big smiles on their faces: "Dad, wait for us."

After arriving at the front yard, several male comrades led a few children and started firing firecrackers.

The explosion filled the yard with fog.

For a while, the courtyard No. 51 could hardly accommodate them.

The children were so scared and excited that they jumped around and almost overturned the pile of coal in the yard.

The whole scene was filled with laughter, liveliness and joy.

……

It was not until Jiang Chuan ran over and called out that Jiang Hai and Jiang Shan carried the two children back.

"You're back just in time,"

Father Jiang raised his hand and pointed at the TV: "Just in time for the Spring Festival Gala on Pujiang TV."

No matter how crowded it was tonight, the whole family gathered in front of the TV in the main room.

Amid the chatter of the family, the opening chorus of the Pujiang Spring Festival Gala began.

Similar to the previous live shows I attended, Pujiang TV's Spring Festival Gala, except for crosstalk, consisted mostly of programs related to classic movies.

While singing and dancing, the audience in front of the TV also recalled the past.

So, there was always a lot of chatter in the main hall of Jiangshan's house.

Suddenly, the picture on TV flashed, and a scene of flowing water, green bricks and green willows under a small bridge appeared on the stage.

Immediately afterwards, Tao Huimin, He Qing and Li Lingyu, three girls from the drama troupe, happily walked onto the stage from three directions of the stage.

As a subtitle jumped onto the screen, the volume in the main room immediately rose by 10%.

"Lyrics and music are the best,"

Jiang Chuan, who was fighting with the boy for the sofa, pointed at the screen excitedly and said:
"Look, this is the little brother's song."

"It's true."

Jiang Hai pushed up his glasses and asked in surprise, "Old Third, you're writing songs again?"

"I can't help it," Jiang Shan leaned on the sofa and smiled, "They forced me to do it."

This time, he really gave them a big thumbs up.

"Stop talking,"

Jiang's mother was very excited at this moment: "I can't hear anything."

Then, Tao Huimin, wearing a red dress and holding a small red lantern, came to the camera first:

"After climbing a mountain and crossing a bend, the white clouds and blue sky are in sight, and we stride forward with great strides."

"Thank you for this human love,"

The camera turned and He Qing, who was also dressed in red, waved a string of candied haws in her hand:

"It has been passed down for thousands of years, and neighbors and friends are all smiling, and there is joy and warmth in dreams and reality."

"The flowers bloom on the hills, bright red,"

Li Lingyu, holding a big red "Fu" character on paper, smiled the sweetest:
"Green water and green mountains do not ask what year it is. Winter has come again when I am away from home. Thank you for your concern, my dearest one."

The three of them looked at the camera with great joy:

"The little tree in front of the door has grown up, blocking the sudden wind and rain. My parents at home have wrinkles on their faces, and they will accompany you forever through the years..."

In the 2021 Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Ox, the song "The Closest Person" which was made famous by Yue Yunpeng was performed by Comrade Jiang Shan in advance at the 1981 Pujiang Spring Festival Gala.

Just as he imagined, this song with a cheerful rhythm would be sung joyfully and harmoniously by the three girls.

It immediately brought up the joy of New Year’s Eve.

Before they knew it, everyone in the room started to laugh.

Suddenly, Comrade Lu Xiao, who was eating melon seeds a second ago, couldn't help but hum.

"Ouch,"

A few seconds later, there was another louder sound: "Ouch~"

This sound was finally heard by everyone in the main room.

"What's wrong,"

Jiang He asked nervously, "What's wrong, Xiaoxiao?"

Jiangshan, Xiaoyu and Xiaobai, who were sitting on the same sofa, suddenly didn't dare to move.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang's mother hurriedly asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"abdomen,"

Lu Xiao covered his stomach and frowned: "My stomach hurts."

When I opened my mouth, it hurt even more.

His face looked different.

"Why do I have a stomachache when all of a sudden I feel fine?"

Jiang He came over and pushed the third child away with his butt: "Did you eat something just now?" Jiang Shan didn't dare to say a word. He took Xiao Yu and Xiao Bai to stand aside to accompany Xiao Xin.

"I...I don't know either," Lu Xiao panted, "It just hurts."

"You are feeling pain in the wrong way."

Jiang's mother came over and helped Lu Xiao hold her belly: "Are you about to give birth?"

"Ah," Jiang He glanced at the calendar on the wall, "It's not the day yet."

"Who can say for sure about having a baby?" Jiang Xiangnan also started to get nervous.

Lu Xiao, who was leaning against Jiang He with his hands on his stomach, was sweating from the pain.

"No, I have to rush you to the hospital,"

Jiang He turned around hurriedly and said, "Hurry up, Third Brother, start the car."

"Oh, all right,"

Jiang Shan agreed and ran out: "Mom, should I take something to the hospital?"

"Yes, the third brother is right to remind you."

"Mom, I'm going too."

"Dad, Xiaobai and I want to go too."

"Don't join in the fun,"

Jiang Xiangnan pointed at Jiang Hai who also wanted to leave and said:

"The car that Lao San is using is not a bus. There is no room for so many people. You stay at home and look after the children."

"Did you hear what Grandpa said?"

Jiang Hai held down Jiang Xiaoyu who was about to move: "Let me watch you at home."

……

A few minutes later, a van sped along the deserted road.

Accompanied by Lu Xiao's groaning sounds, Jiang Shan quickly drove the car into Pujiang People's Hospital.

"Comrade, comrade doctor,"

As soon as they parked the car, Jiang Shan and Jiang Chuan rushed in:
"My sister-in-law is about to give birth, come and take a look."

"Having a baby?"

"Yep,"

Jiang Chuan didn't say anything, and pulled a female doctor in the corridor and ran out: "My sister-in-law is pregnant with twins..."

"I was just watching TV at home,"

Jiang Shan was also pulling at the side: "It hurts when you say it hurts."

"Oh, it's no use for you to pull me like this,"

Although the female doctor did not stop walking, she looked embarrassed: "I'm not an obstetrician."

"What should I do?"

Jiang Shan and Jiang Chuan stopped at the same time: "Where is the obstetrics department?"

As they were talking, Jiang He and Jiang Ma had already walked in slowly, supporting Lu Xiao.

The female doctor took one look at Lu Xiao's big belly and immediately took it seriously:

"I'll find a doctor for you right away."

Soon, Lu Xiao, who was in so much pain that she couldn't say a word, was pushed into the delivery room by the nurses.

On the other side, an obstetrician was communicating with Jiang He about the situation.

"Your lover's situation is rather special,"

The obstetrician's expression was even more serious than Jiang He's:

"If conditions do not allow, we will immediately switch to a caesarean section."

"What is a caesarean section?" Jiang He obviously lost his usual calmness: "Is it just surgery?"

"Yes,"

The obstetrician nodded: "We'll have to wait and see what the specific situation is. Someone will come out to communicate with you."

After saying this, the doctor turned around and prepared to enter the delivery room.

"Doctor, please make sure our Xiaoxiao is safe." Mother Jiang asked hurriedly at the last moment.

……

Tick-tock, the time passes by so quickly.

In just a short while, two or three groups of people had come in and out of the delivery room.

"Brother, why are there so many people coming to give birth during the Chinese New Year?"

Looking at the nervous and serious expressions of Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, and Jiang He opposite him, Xiaochuan only dared to talk to Jiang Shan at this time.

"That's what I said,"

Jiang Shan was also looking at the excitement in front of him: "This is great, it seems that we will all have to spend the New Year's Eve in the hospital."

"They also said that there is no preference for boys over girls in the city."

Jiang Chuan glanced at the family not far away:

"Look over there, little brother. When they heard that their daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, the whole family immediately changed their expressions."

"I saw it a long time ago,"

At this moment, Jiang Shan, with his hands behind his back, was like an old woman, watching the fun with Jiang Chuan:

"Well, it's the same with that family over there. Both the in-laws left immediately."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of people are they?"

Nowadays, family planning has become a top priority.

Every family knows that having a child is basically a one-time deal.

In the first two years of its implementation, many families really couldn't accept it.

Therefore, the notification coming from the delivery room was very crucial.

But at this moment, Comrade Jiang He simply couldn't care less about so many things.

He was almost reciting the scriptures at this moment.

"Comrade Lu Xiao's family members,"

A few minutes later, a nurse pushed the door open and walked out: "Which one is Comrade Lu Xiao's family member?"

"elder brother."

"Second brother."

"I,"

The nervous Jiang He stood up after being reminded by the third and fourth brothers:

"I, I am Lu Xiao's lover."

"I am Xiaoxiao's mother-in-law."

"The first child has been born," the nurse looked at them and said, "a boy, weighing 5 jin."

"gave birth?"

Jiang He finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, she's born. Then...what about Lu Xiao..."

Before she could finish her question, the nurse turned around and went back in.

"Thank God, the baby was born at last,"

Mother Jiang wiped her chest and said, "Don't worry, as long as the first child is born, the other one will be soon."

At this moment, outside the delivery room, when people in the corridor heard that a family was giving birth to twins, they immediately looked over and whispered.

One of the sisters-in-law even came over and chatted with Jiang's mother for a few words.

More than ten minutes later, it turned out to be just as Jiang Ma said...

"Where are Comrade Lu Xiao's family members?"

This time, even the nurse put on a smile: "The second child is born, a boy, weighing 5 jins."

"Yo~"

"Oh~"

"Both are boys."

Before the Jiang family could say anything, several shouts were heard in the corridor.

"How is my love?"

"Yes, Comrade Nurse, how is my daughter-in-law?"

"Don't worry, mother and child are safe," the nurse said with a smile:
"I'm just a little weak. After all, I gave birth to two children. I just need to take good care of myself in the future."

"The third child,"

Jiang Ma raised her hand and said, "Go, bring me all the things in the car."

"Okay~"

That night, Jiangshan and Jiangchuan finally found work to do.

As they both ran out, they both raised their arms at the same time.

Well, it’s already New Year’s Day.

"Wow, look at our two nephews' birthdays. One is bigger than the other!"
