Chapter 187. With such a stark contrast, are these two really twins?
Besides caring for his wife, Lianshan also had to juggle the needs of the two children, and manage all the big and small tasks at the hospital. A pile of trivial matters kept him busy throughout the day and night. Fortunately, when Shuzhen gave birth to Lian En, he also took care of things bit by bit, like an expert. Plus, Lin Jianguo, who was eager to befriend them, helped with errands like fetching water and buying meals.
If it weren’t for this, Lianshan would really have struggled to keep up.
The sons and daughters may not look anything like twins, but they truly came from the same womb, didn’t they?
Crying together, hungry together, fussing endlessly together—these two were no exception!
By the next morning, after a whole night of chaos, Lianshan prepared breakfast for everyone in the ward as an apology for disrupting everyone’s rest.
Er Niu, a big fan of Shuzhen, and Lin Jianguo, who was grateful and keen on bonding with Lianshan and his wife, of course said nothing serious, smiling as they enjoyed breakfast and promised to treat them to lunch. Even the formidable duo, known for their apparent aloofness, brushed it off lightly, saying that kids being noisy is to be expected, surprising both Lianshan and Shuzhen with their reactions.
While chatting after the meal, the mother-daughter duo subtly inquired about the "Worm Cultivation Handbook," high-yield cabbage and radish seeds, and ways to grow cotton in the Northeast. That’s when the couple realized: their indifference stemmed from having something they wanted to ask for.
According to them, theirs was a military family; generations have served the nation. Even the unborn baby was a reserve for the Republic.
Now that the young wife’s husband reached the level where he could apply for family accompaniment, she was just waiting for the baby to be a hundred days old before traveling far to find her husband!
She wasn’t very well-educated either, destined to be a housewife once there, looking after the child.
One earner with three mouths to feed, even the best situations can get tight.
Especially since their foundation wasn’t particularly wealthy to begin with.
They heard their place was similar to here, a bungalow with a small garden for growing vegetables and raising chickens, hence their interest in worm cultivation for feeding, high-yield cabbage, radish, and cotton farming. But being accustomed to being a cadre’s family, they couldn’t just open up, even if they wanted to desperately. With Lianshan laying a ladder before them, why would they pass it up?
