Two generations of military wives compete for time

Qian Yizhen and Shi Jiayang drove for more than five hours and arrived at the home of Ming Yuanhui's sister-in-law Wang Moli in Dayuan Village. They knocked on the door, but no one was at home. They asked an old lady who was sitting on the side of the road basking in the sun, but found out that the mother and her two children had gone uphill to work.

Qian Yizhen and Shi Jiayang followed the direction pointed by the old lady and came to the field. They saw Wang Moli, Ming Zhigang and Ming Zhiqiang weeding in the cornfield. Seeing Qian Yizhen coming, Wang Moli immediately ordered her two sons to tie up the grass. They also broke off some ripe corn cobs from the cornfield, put them into a sack, and handed it to Shi Jiayang, indicating that he should put it in the car and take it back to taste.

The mother and her two children each carried a bundle of grass and hurried home. Qian Yizhen and Shi Jiayang followed closely behind them and arrived home. Wang Moli and her two children put down the grass.

The youngest son Ming Zhiqiang untied the ropes neatly and spread the grass out to dry. The oldest son Ming Zhigang took the bucket and the shoulder pole and went out to fetch water. Wang Moli lit a fire to boil water and started to cook green bean soup.

Wang Moli served a bowl of mung bean soup to Qian Yizhen and Shi Jiayang each. "You two take a rest first. I'll go make dumplings. The dough is ready and the filling is ready. All that's left is rolling out the dough and kneading the dumplings. It will be ready soon."

Wang Moli, Ming Zhigang and Ming Zhiqiang, mother and son, didn't talk much, but they worked in unison and wrapped the dumplings quickly. They put the dumplings into boiling water and cooked them. Watching the dumplings tumbling in the pot, Wang Moli's face was filled with smiles.

The "starter dumplings" were brought to the stone table in the yard. Wang Moli filled two large bowls of dumplings and gave them to Ming Zhigang and Ming Zhiqiang, instructing them to deliver them to their grandparents.

After a while, Ming Zhigang and Ming Zhiqiang came back with empty bowls. Qian Yizhen asked, "What did your grandparents say?" "Grandma said, why are we eating dumplings during the New Year, and she said my mom is a spendthrift woman," Ming Zhiqiang replied.

"I told my grandparents that it was my mother who made farewell dumplings for me to go to college," Ming Zhigang explained.

"Grandpa and grandma, when they knew you were admitted to the military academy, did you show any appreciation? For example, encouragement, praise, or gifts?" Ming Zhigang and Ming Zhiqiang shook their heads together.

"Sister Yizhen, my biggest hope now is to raise my two sons to adulthood. As for how my parents-in-law treat me, it doesn't matter to me at all." Wang Moli said to Qian Yizhen with a smile.

The five of them sat around the stone table, eating dumplings and drinking dumpling soup. Everyone was full. Qian Yizhen and Shi Jiayang kept praising the dumplings for being delicious, and sister-in-law Wang Moli kept smiling innocently.

After eating and drinking, Qian Yizhen, Shi Jiayang and Ming Zhigang picked up their sacks and got into the car. Wang Moli and Ming Zhiqiang stood at the gate and watched the car leave.

Qian Yizhen, Shi Jiayang and Ming Zhigang rushed to the provincial capital railway station without stopping. After a bumpy and tiring journey, when they arrived at the railway station, they saw that it was still early, so they had dinner at a restaurant near the railway station.

Qian Yizhen handed the train ticket and 1,000 yuan to Ming Zhigang: "It's your first time traveling far away, so you may feel a little scared, but don't worry, your uncle Ming Yuanhui will pick you up at Kunming Railway Station and accompany you to register at school."

Ming Zhigang said, "Thank you, Auntie." He waved to Qian Yizhen, picked up the sack, turned around and walked into the train station. From then on, the second generation of Jun Ge embarked on his journey.

Qian Yizhen returned home, washed up, and was just about to lie down on the bed to take a nap when there was a knock on the door: "Yizhen, Hao Xia is about to give birth." It was Grandma Lu Jingde's voice.

Qian Yizheng immediately got up and went out: "Grandma Lu, don't worry, I'll go over to take a look, please walk slowly." At this time, Grandpa Lu Kaipu also came over, and everyone came to Sister-in-law Hao Xia's room together.

Grandpa Lu Kaipu stepped forward to check the pulse of Hao Xia's sister-in-law: "It's okay, it's okay. Find a car to go to the hospital."

When we arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology ward of the Provincial People's Hospital, the doctor on duty conducted a series of examinations and needed to seek the opinions of the family members. Only then did he discover that Professor Chen Zhuoran was not at the scene.

Qian Yizhen immediately ran to the ward service desk and called Professor Chen Zhuoran. After receiving the call, Professor Chen Zhuoran immediately took a taxi to the hospital's sister-in-law Hao Xia's ward.

Since Sister Hao Xia was an elderly pregnant woman, the doctor recommended a caesarean section, and Professor Chen Zhuoran immediately signed his consent.

Sister-in-law Hao Xia gave birth to twins, Professor Chen Zhuoran, and she happily stayed in the ward for several days and refused to leave. Grandma Lu Jingde was afraid that her son Chen Zhuoran would be exhausted, so she persuaded him to go home and rest, and let the nanny take care of him. Professor Chen Zhuoran insisted on guarding him day and night, which made Grandma Lu Jingde angry and she went to Qian Yizhen to complain.

"It seems that Uncle Zhuoran's stubborn temper has come up again. Loving his wife and children is a good thing. Grandma Lu, don't worry, go home and have a good rest. I will go to the hospital and persuade Uncle Zhuoran."

Qian Yizhen came to Hao Xia's ward and saw Professor Chen Zhuoran feeding Hao Xia with a bowl of rice. The nanny was changing diapers for the two babies. It was a very heartwarming scene.

Qian Yizhen stood at the door of the ward for a few minutes, reluctant to disturb them. Professor Chen Zhuoran stood up to pour water and found Qian Yizhen standing at the door: "Yizhen is here, look, this is my wife, my son, my daughter, how can I be so happy."

"Uncle Zhuoran, you shouldn't just think about happiness, you also need to combine work and rest. How many days have you not had a good sleep?"

"That's nothing. I'm doing experiments and I often fight continuously. I'm used to it. There's nothing wrong with my body. I can hold on."
