Shu Wanniang turned her head to look at the wrinkled little child, showing a tired but satisfied smile.

Mu Yangling, who was sitting beside Shu Wanniang's bed, realized something was wrong. The child was actually younger than Xiao Bowen when he was born.

Although more than four years have passed, it was the first time I saw a newborn child. Mu Yangling was very impressed. At that time, Xiao Bowen was a little weak when he was born, and Wenpo said that he was not as heavy as other full-term children. .

But didn't they say just now that the mother's belly is big, and the child may be too big to give birth? Why is this child even younger than when Bowen was born?

Wen Po also quickly discovered this anomaly, and hurriedly handed the child to Ma Liushi, and stepped forward to check on Shu Wanniang's situation.

But Shu Wanniang still felt a little pain in her stomach, which was completely different from the relaxed feeling after giving birth in the past.

Wen Po touched it, and said in surprise: "There is still one in my stomach."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the room changed.

Childbirth is already difficult, and it is even more difficult to give birth to twins. Not only does the probability of child death increase, but the probability of maternal death is also high.

Before they finished worrying, Shu Wanniang immediately gave birth to a baby girl, a small ball, who was slapped on the buttocks by Mrs. Wen and only made two "beeps", like a cat meowing.

Mu Yangling suddenly felt pity, and hurriedly hugged it carefully. After a while, Wen Po looked at it and said worriedly: "It's so small, you have to be careful, you can't be cold and hungry."

There were two new members in the Mu family all of a sudden, and Mu Shi was happy and worried at the same time.

The son is not bad, he looks weak, but his crying is louder than when Bowen was born, but the little daughter is like a kitten, her eyes are not open, and she will only cry a few times when she is hungry. Next, Mu Shi measured it in private, and the youngest daughter was only the size of his palm.

He was worried about whether she would survive.

Ma Liushi taught him, "Whether a child is strong or not mainly depends on the milk. As long as your wife's milk is good and you keep warm, the child will definitely be able to stand."

Mu Shi immediately said, "I'll go buy chickens and eggs right away. If you need anything else, I'll go buy it right away."

"Your daughter-in-law will get angry if she eats something that is too greasy. I will teach you later. You go to the town to buy it, and I will make it for you when you come back."

Mu Shi heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that it was the right thing to bring his aunt's family over to live with him.

Xiao Bowen and Xiulan were lying in front of the bed looking at the two children sleeping side by side. Xiao Bowen quietly stretched out his hand to touch his sister's face, then retracted his hand as if afraid of being discovered, and whispered to Xiulan, "It's so slippery." what."

Xiulan said enviously, "It's great that you have younger brothers and sisters."

Mu Yangling brought Shu Wanniang a bowl of noodles, "Mom, try it quickly. Auntie made it for you. It uses old hen soup, and there are two eggs in it."

Shu Wanniang sat up and saw that it was bright outside, so she asked, "Your uncles and grandmas are all sent away?"

"Send them off. They left right after you fell asleep. Wen Po left at dawn. Dad gave her a hundred cash and two pieces of smoked rabbit meat."

"What about your father?"

"He went shopping in the town. Mother, eat quickly. When you're full, I'll bring my brothers and sisters over to show you, and then you can give them a nice name."

Both Mu Yangling and Mu Bowen were named by Shu Wanniang.

Shu Wanniang smiled and said: "The name has been chosen a long time ago. I thought that if it is a boy, it will be called Bosi, and if it is a girl, it will be called Kejia. Your father also agreed, but I didn't expect it to be twins, so I will use both names." gone."

Mu Yangling carried the two children over to show Shu Wanniang, tapped their foreheads lightly and said, "You have names."

In the evening, Mu Shi brought back two cages of chickens and one hundred eggs, plus the dry goods at home, enough for Shu Wanniang to confine for forty days.

Mu Shi gave the things to Ma Liushi, and Ma Liushi did his best to cook food for Shu Wanniang. After half a month, the two children were fed white and fat, and they looked almost like full-term children.

Shu Wanniang wrapped the two children in soft swaddling clothes, and said to Mu Shi: "We made it easy during the third day, but this full moon mat needs to be handled carefully, so we can't wrong the two little ones."

"Don't worry, I've already told my aunt to ask her to help."

"By the way, has the aunt's house been built yet?" Shu Wanniang asked.

Because the weather turned fine, Liu Ting took people to Xishan Village two days ago to help Ma Liushi build a house.

"I was just about to tell you, I want to keep my aunt here for the rest of the winter, now there are two new children in the family, Bowen also needs to be taken care of, and A Ling and I have to go into the mountains from time to time, you must be alone I can't take care of her, so it's better to keep my aunt here, and when the winter is over, Bowen will go to school, and Ah Ling and I can help."

"Have you talked to your aunt?"

Mu Shi nodded with a smile, "I've already said, you just need to stay in confinement with peace of mind,

It's just that Mu Shi didn't expect that this could only be an empty promise, and Shu Wanniang was destined not to be able to do well in this confinement.

In the middle of the night, Mu Shi suddenly opened his eyes, jumped out of bed and lay down on the ground to listen to the movement carefully, but there was silence, everything was normal, but he just felt uneasy, which is a feeling only when facing danger, This intuition is inherited from the ancestors and comes from the blood on the grassland.

In the room on the other side, Mu Yangling also opened her eyes. She turned to look at Xiao Bowen who was sleeping on the side with some doubts. She had a rare insomnia.

Mu Yangling was closing his eyes and trying to force himself to sleep, when he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening next door.

Mu Yangling got up suspiciously, what is daddy doing out at night?

Mu Yangling put on his clothes and went out. Mu Shi was climbing on the roof and looked around. He was startled when he saw his daughter coming out, "Why are you awake?"

"Woke up all of a sudden, Dad, what are you doing climbing up the roof?"

Mu Shi looked gloomy at the soaring red light on the side of Xishan, his face sinking like water, "Something happened in Xishan Village."

Mu Yangling quickly climbed up to look, and saw a thick smoke rising into the sky from the north, with a faint red light, because the trees in the middle of the kitchen mountain were dense but tall, so it was not clear, but the churning thick Smoke can never be wrong.

"Xishan Village is on fire? But it shouldn't be burning so badly." This is not a modern house connected to the house. Except for the separated brothers, there is a certain distance between the homesteads of each house. Even if there is a fire, At most, three or five houses were burned. How could there be such a big puff of smoke? It felt like the whole village was on fire.

"If it was a simple fire, I wouldn't be so flustered. Something must have happened. Go and wake up your mother and younger siblings. Pack up your things first. I'll go to the village chief."

Mu Yangling didn't understand, but he followed Mu Shi's instructions to wake up his aunt, mother and others, and packed up all the valuable things that needed to be taken away from home.

Seeing his half-month-old siblings lying quietly on the bed, he turned around and tidied up two small quilts, tied them tightly with ropes, and found out the two-wheeled scooter that had been piled up in the warehouse.
