Rebirth: 1977

On March 4, 1985, at noon on the second day of the second lunar month, Xia Zilan gave birth to another son, weighing 6.6 jin and in good health.

Ye Tingfeng had already named the child, Yechen.

Chen in the sun, moon, stars and planets.

The arrival of this little brother made the older brother and the younger sister very happy.

Xiaoyi kept a serious face the whole time. The child, who was very frugal with words, stayed close to his mother and brother and refused to leave.

Several times he secretly tried to hug her, but was stopped by Zi Lan: "Xiao Yi, you are still young and can't hold your brother. Be careful not to fall and hurt yourself."

The reason I say this is because my daughter has already fallen down while trying to secretly hug her younger brother, but the child also knows how to protect the weak, and would rather fall down herself while her younger brother holds her in his arms and she lies underneath.

In fact, the house was covered with thick carpets, so the fall wouldn’t hurt, but it would scare the two children.

Zi Lan hugged her little son and called him "mistress", but Ye Tianguo decisively rejected it.

In the past, parents had many children and were used to saving effort, so they just called them the eldest, the second, the third, and so on.

But he knew that in later generations, "second one" and "mistress" would become ambiguous terms.

If the child gets used to calling her that, and his younger son happens to be of that age, being called "mistress" all the time will make him, who is already an adult, embarrassed.

"Zilan, let's just call him Xiaochen. Think about it, if we call him Xiaojin and Xiaoyi, if we only call the younger one 'Xiaosan', the three children will think we are not treating them equally."

This reason is so far-fetched, but there is no other way but to cut off the emergence of this "mistress" from the source.

Fortunately, Zi Lan never cares about these things and just follows suit and calls him "Xiao Chen".

She had no worries when she gave birth to this child. The next day, Dr. Li came to do a pregnancy test for her and reminded her:

“Mrs. Ye, you are only two days away from your due date, so you should stay in the hospital and wait for your birth.

Your first pregnancy with twins was so quick and smooth, and the second pregnancy is in very good condition, so it may be even quicker and smoother.

It takes more than half an hour to get from your home to the hospital. If you go to the hospital after the start of the disease, you might give birth on the way."

Zi Lan relayed this to Ye Tianshui, "Xiao Shui, do you want to listen to Dr. Li?"

Ye Tianshui immediately became nervous: "Listen! We must listen to Dr. Li. I will ask them to pack their things immediately. We will go to the hospital after dinner."

The delivery room in the hospital had been booked long ago, the same one where she had given birth to her twins.

This room is the best in the hospital, and Tianshui booked and paid for it ten days ago.

Therefore, there is no need to go through any procedures to be admitted to the hospital.

Zi Lan didn't feel any discomfort that night. He was used to having Ye Tianshui accompany him, and he always helped him turn over. He did whatever he felt comfortable with.

After being admitted to the hospital, the couple was not nervous. Dr. Li turned down other work and lived in the hospital dormitory, ready to be on call at any time.

At eleven o'clock, the couple happily had a sumptuous lunch. When Ye Tianshui cleaned up and prepared to arrange for Zi Lan to rest, Zi Lan felt something was wrong when she was kicked in the stomach by the child.

"Xiao Shui, my stomach hurts a little, is it time to start?"

Zi Lan leaned back on the bed, stroking her belly, feeling a little uncertain.

At this time, it was eleven forty.

Ye Tianshui was stunned, and did not dare to waste any time. He immediately ordered Nanfeng who was waiting beside him:

"Go and inform Doctor Li right away, tell him that the wife has gone into labor, and go to the delivery room and wait."

Ning Xi said immediately without any instructions:

"I'll go push the cot over here."

With that, both of them ran away.

Ten minutes later, when Zi Lan arrived at the delivery room, all the medical staff who had delivered twins for Zi Lan were already in place and were quickly preparing for disinfection.

Zi Lan was the first pregnant woman they met who gave birth so quickly and with little pain.

Zi Lan went into the delivery room and lay on the bed. Before she could even cry out in pain, the baby was born at exactly twelve o'clock.

Doctor Li was overjoyed but then became afraid. He said to Zi Lan, who was still energetic, thankfully:

“Madam Ye, you are blessed. It is rare to have a child so easily and labor-free.

Luckily you guys checked in yesterday, otherwise, hehe, I wouldn’t be able to make it in time even if I flew.”

“Thank you for your reminder yesterday, otherwise I would have been too late to drive away from home.

"Oh, it hurts, Doctor Li, why does it hurt now?"

"Oh, you're just slow to realize it. After the placenta comes out, the uterus will contract and it will hurt."

Doctor Li smiled and gently massaged Zilan's belly with her special technique, comforting her softly:

"Don't worry, it will get better soon."

After staying in the hospital for three days, Zi Lan was discharged. No matter how good her living conditions and environment were, they were not as convenient and comfortable as her own home.

Mainly the two twins, they run between school and hospital every day, never missing a day, and they enjoy it.

Fu Shenyan and Tong Dawei have returned to China.

Fu Jinyan has been in charge of the preliminary preparations for the port construction during this period, and the funds have been in place.

Two hundred million foreign currencies were deposited into a bank account designated by the Pengcheng government, and the bank converted them into RMB to invest in the funds needed for construction.

This is a benefit that Ye Tianshui gave to Xia Minglei.

If they exchange the money themselves abroad, there will be some differences in the conversion rate. He has discussed this with several shareholders and they don't mind the price difference.

When foreign currency is given to the government, they can do a lot of things.

During Zi Lan's confinement period, Ye Tianshui not only visited Pengcheng Winery and Industrial Park, but also met with Xia Zijian, Si Kongkong and Xia Minglei. They came and went in a hurry and had a quick meal each time.

The overseas market for Yuquan liquor, brewed with mountain spring water, began to flourish after wealthy families gave it as high-end gifts to their suppliers, partners, and heads of state with whom they had business dealings.

Ye Tianshui contacted the oil company and through their connections, bought a tanker truck specifically for filling oil.

Brand new, ten of them.

The water supply suddenly became much faster.

He also sent an exploration team to survey several nearby mountains and discovered several mountain springs with large water yields.

Without attracting the attention of other wineries, he directly contracted several mountains.

The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, with only a few narrow paths leading to the mountainside. If you follow the flow of the spring and get water from the stream at the foot of the mountain, the water is already slightly polluted.

The alternative is to fetch water from the mountain manually, which is obviously time-consuming, costly and inefficient.

In order to solve the problem of difficulty and slowness in obtaining water, Ye Tianshui used local materials. He selected thick bamboos from the contracted forest and cut them down. He opened up the bamboo nodes inside and connected a long water pipe to directly pour the water into the cans.

"Master Ye, you are really smart. Cutting bamboo to replace water pipes can save a lot of money and open up a road to the mountain at the same time.

Kill two birds with one stone. "

After Fu Jinyan followed the car to take a look, he went back and praised Ye Tianshui highly.

Ye Tianshui raised his eyebrows and shook his head slightly, feeling a little proud: "Brother Jinyan, you are wrong, I achieved three goals at once.

In order to save a little money on water pipes, would I be willing to go to the trouble of cutting bamboo to replace them?

However, cutting down the bamboo forest to build a road is a natural thing to do.

Those are not my main purpose, I want another effect."

"Oh? What's the purpose? The purpose that requires you to mobilize so many troops must be very important.

Let me guess, is there any rare and exotic animal in that mountain that you are interested in?

Taking this opportunity, a road was built without anyone noticing so that they could enter the mountain.

Yes, we have contracted that mountain for twenty years. Did you have other plans when you contracted those mountains and forests?"

Fu Jinyan guessed jokingly.

His words reminded Ye Tianshui that perhaps it was because the large tracts of land here were rich in various mineral elements, the quality of the medicinal materials in this mountain was particularly good.

In addition, the fruits, rice and other crops here are also well-known in the country for their good quality in later generations.
