Losing love and losing you

Early in the morning, Zhao Defa rode his 28 bicycle to the village across the river. He wanted to go to his mother-in-law's house to report peace and pick up his son by the way.

It's not far from home. It's about 20 minutes away. People in the village get up early. When they arrive at their mother-in-law's house, they have finished their meals.

"Come, Defa, how's Sulan? Is she born?" asked his mother-in-law.

"Born, born, I'm not here to give you a happy birthday. I gave birth to a double stick and two boys, ha ha." Zhao Defa is still excited about it now. It's all a happy event to fill in people's imports. Can you be unhappy.

"Oh, two boys, now you can count on Lao Zhao's family. Let's borrow the two big boys in the future." the mother-in-law was also happy. There were two separated grandchildren, both of whom were separated from each other. When Grandpa and grandma heard that they had grandchildren, they were still very happy.

The mother-in-law came to the kitchen, picked up a basket of eggs and said to Zhao Defa, "Defa, these are the eggs I have saved these days. You can take them back later. Sulan will hurt her strength and make up for it. In two days, your father and I will go over and take one of the old hens to make soup for her."

"No, mom, it's all at home. When I came here today, my father caught an old hen and killed it. I'm cleaning it up. Don't worry. Sulan can't stand hardship in my place. You and my father can keep these for food. Don't be reluctant," Zhao Defa said, pushing the basket.

"You stinky boy, did I say you treat Sulan badly? It's my intention. Your father ate a lot during confinement. Your father killed another old hen and lost another one. Take these. The chicken is enough for us now. We can't eat much when we're old." my mother-in-law insisted Zhao Defa take it. She said she didn't worry. What's the mother-in-law who doesn't care about.

"That's all right, mom. I'll take it. Yushan will go back with me in a moment. The child is scouring now. I think he's tired these two days."

"Why are you tired? Just the two of us every day. We still have a business here. Otherwise, we'll be tired of staring at it every day for a lifetime, hehe"

"Mom, look at what you said. You two have a good relationship in your life. It's a revolutionary friendship, ha ha," Zhao Defa joked.

"You son of a bitch, you're kidding your mother. All right, go back early. Yushan, hurry up and go home with your father." mother-in-law shouted with her neck pulled.

"I know, grandma." Yushan promised in the room and cleaned up. Yushan is eight years old, although he sometimes washes a little. But he is very sensible and never makes trouble.

After cleaning up, Zhao Defa put Yushan on the beam of the 28 bicycle and sat on the car with a front pedal.

"Mom, I'll go first. You and my father will go there when you have time."

"OK, we'll go there in two days. Slow down on the road. There's nothing urgent," ordered my mother-in-law.

"I know, mom, let's go." after that, Zhao Defa rode to the production team. He had to call the big girl. At that time, if he wanted to call the production team, he had to go to the production team. Only there was such an old landline in the village.

Came to the production team, said to the management, took out a small book, found the big girl's phone number and broadcast it.

"Hello, I'm looking for Zhao Yumei, a student of your school." when the phone connected to the school, Zhao Defa said to the person opposite.

After a while, a big girl's voice was heard over there, "Dad. What's the matter? I'm in class. Is there anything urgent?"

"There's nothing urgent, but there's a happy event. Your mother gave birth to twins and you have two more brothers," Zhao Defa said happily.

"Really, my mother is so powerful. When I go back after two days off, you ask my lord what they want to eat and I'll buy it back." Zhao Yumei was also happy and had two more brothers. It's great.

"Don't buy anything. Keep the money for yourself. There's nothing missing at home. Just come back. I haven't come back for a long time. Your mother misses you."

"Well, I'll go back at the weekend and let my milk cook delicious food for me. It's not easy to eat in this school."

"OK, come back and let you make milk. By the way, when you come back, go directly to the town and pick up your sister. He also has a holiday at the weekend and the family get together."

"Well, OK, I see. Dad, the phone is very expensive. I'll talk about it when I get back."

"OK, I'll hang up first!" then Zhao Defa hung up the phone.

"Yushan, your eldest and second sisters will be back in two days. Are you happy?" Zhao Defa touched Zhao Yushan's head and said with a smile.

"Elder sister and second elder sister are all back? Great, there's something delicious again." Zhao Yushan jumped high excitedly.

"You snack, hurry up to go to school tomorrow. You can't play any more. Although it's preschool now, it's better than staying at home. We'll be in the first grade next semester. Take it easy. Your mother and I have to look at our two younger brothers. You have to be sensible and can't be naughty anymore." Zhao de fondled Zhao Yushan's head.

"I see, Dad, let's go back. I really want to see my two brothers. They must be very cute."

"Let's go, get in the car and let's go home." Zhao Defa picked up Zhao Yushan and rode his bike home.

When I got home, I returned my bike. The bicycle is a rare thing. It's bad if it's broken. I'll send it back as soon as I use it.

As soon as he entered the hospital, Zhao Yushan ran into the house. "Grandma, grandma, I'm back. I miss you so much!" he threw himself into Grandma's arms.

"You smelly boy, wash your face quickly. Whether you haven't washed your face in the morning depends on the burial you made." Zhao Po gently spanked Zhao Yushan, and then brought a basin of water.

"Yushan is back!" Yang Sulan's voice came from the room. "Come and let mom have a look. Do you miss Mom?"

Listening to his mother calling himself, he washed his face carelessly and ran into the house. As soon as he took off his shoes, he threw himself on the Kang and said, "Mom, I miss you." Yushan rubbed it in his mother's arms.

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't wake your brothers up when they are asleep." Yang Sulan whispered.

Zhao Yushan sat up from his mother's arms, leaned over the twins, leaned his hands on his head, looked at this and then that, and asked in doubt for a long time.

"Mom, why do you think they look the same? I can't tell. It's too similar."

"Oh, of course, twins are the same. In fact, it's easy to distinguish. You see, there is a little birthmark behind the ear here. This is my brother, but my brother doesn't have it behind the ear. But you have to look carefully. It's not very clear. Maybe it will disappear when you grow up." this was discovered by old man Zhao after reading it for a long time yesterday. Otherwise, it's really hard to distinguish.

"It's too difficult. After that, they have to look at their ears first. It's really troublesome." Zhao Yushan looked helpless.

"In fact, you don't have to. After a long time, you can naturally distinguish them. I can distinguish them at a glance, but I can't tell the difference."

"By the way, mom, my father called my eldest sister. At the weekend, she went to pick up the second sister and came back together. There will be delicious food again, hehe" Zhao Yushan looked like eating goods.

"I know you're going to primary school. You can't just think about eating and playing. You should study hard. Like your eldest sister, you see how excellent your eldest sister is. There are only two college students in the village. There's one of your sisters. It's a matter of honoring your ancestors. You go out after school. You don't have to work hard every day like your grandfather and father." Yang Sulan taught her son.

"I know, I will study hard. Don't worry, mom," Zhao Yushan agreed.

Outside the house, Zhao Defa asked Zhao Po, "Mom, where's my father? He's working again?"

"If you don't work, you'll have two more things to ask for debt. Go to the production team and come back in the evening," Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.

"I just went to the production team to call and didn't see my father. I'll go there too. I can earn two points in an afternoon." after that, Zhao Defa changed his clothes, took a look at the child and ran to the production team.

At that time, they all earned work points, and then the work points could be exchanged for food, food stamps and money. There is no land in my family. They are all members of the production team. They work together and distribute the harvest according to their work. At that time, it was called "big pot rice", which meant to eat in one pot.

All the men in the family go out to work. The women clean up the vegetable garden at home, and tidy up the front and back of the house. Are the men outside and the women inside.

In the evening, Zhao Yushan followed his grandmother back to the east room to sleep. Yang Sulan and Zhao Defa coaxed the child to sleep in the Westinghouse.

"Defa, today I found that there is not enough milk for my children. One child is OK, but these two are a little out of supply. Tomorrow, you talk to your mother and see if there is any way." Yang Sulan said wrongfully. He had six children before and had enough milk, but he was a little stretched this time.

"OK, I'll ask my mother tomorrow. I've heard that crucian carp tofu soup works well. I'll buy some tomorrow. Let my mother cook soup for you at home." in fact, Zhao Defa is very sad. If the conditions at home are better, like their city people, they can drink milk powder and camp. I can't help it. It's good to have more food for the children at home. Zhao Laohan is the captain of the fourth production team. Although he can't earn much more, he can't be hungry.

"Go to bed and don't think about it. I'll ask my mother tomorrow. If I can't, I'll buy milk powder," Zhao Defa said.

"Forget it, the family is not rich at all. A can of milk powder costs a lot of money. It's really not enough. They can eat it in exchange. If they don't have enough, they feed some rice soup and grow up in a flash." Yang Sulan knows what's going on at home. It's hard to get tickets alone without saying whether they can afford it or not.

Zhao Defa never spoke again. He turned his back and wiped his tears silently. Yang Sulan saw that Zhao Defa was no longer talking and went to bed. She knew that Zhao Defa was sad, but she didn't know how to persuade him, so she had to calm down.
