The Village Chief took out three small clothes and handed them to Ni Yang, "Yangyang, these were prepared by all of us for the children, they’re ’Hundred Family Clothes’ personally sewn by Aunt Wang from the village."
’Hundred Family Clothes’ is an ancient child-rearing tradition.
It’s made by gathering small pieces of fabric from neighbors and friends, sewn into one garnt for the child to wear. This clothes embody blessings from a hundred families, warding off illnesses and calamities, helping the child grow up healthy.
Although ’Hundred Family Clothes’ are not invaluable, the sentint of the villagers is priceless.
Its profound aning is already very good.
If the maker of the ’Hundred Family Clothes’ is an elderly person with high seniority, the significance is even better.
Aunt Wang is the oldest elder in the village.
This year, she is already 99 years old.
By rank, Ni Yang should call Aunt Wang, Grandma Wang.
Most importantly, she is in good health, not deaf or visually impaired. She spent more than five months hand-sewing these three clothes.
Holding the ’Hundred Family Clothes’, Ni Yang felt extrely touched.
She is very grateful to everyone.
During the most challenging ti of her life, Jinghua Village embraced her and her daughter.
To her, Jinghua Village is her hotown!
The villagers of Jinghua Village are her family.
Ni Yang is very grateful to everyone.
Similarly, everyone is also very grateful to Ni Yang.
If it wasn’t for Ni Yang seven years ago, they wouldn’t be where they are today.
In re seven years, the changes Ni Yang brought to Jinghua Village are nurous.
Seven years ago, they couldn’t even fill their bellies.
They lived in thatched huts and walked on mud roads.
Now, every household has built small villas, asphalt roads are wider than those in the city, and there are street lights illuminating the way at night...
So households have even bought small cars.
Ni Yang led them to prosperity.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu, and thanks to everyone! Especially Grandma Wang! It’s hard for her to do this kind of handiwork at such an old age!"
The Village Chief replied, a little embarrassed, "There’s nothing to thank for! We are all family! Besides, Grandma Wang was quite happy, she felt pleased to do sothing for the three children!"
Ni Yang continued, "Oh, Uncle Liu, don’t forget what I ntioned to you last ti. If everyone has a bit of spare money, don’t rush to buy cars, it’s better to buy houses in the city, buy as many as possible!"
Cars are consumables.
Houses are different!
In another ten years or so, Beijing’s housing prices will undergo massive changes.
By then, having two houses will an not worrying about food, clothing, or living.
The Village Chief nodded, "Alright, don’t worry, I’ve already ntioned it to everyone."
"That’s good."
Around noon, the Mo elders brought red eggs and candies.
They packed two boxes full for the Village Chief to take back and distribute among the villagers.
Ni Yang hadn’t eaten anything all day.
Mo Qishen was very worried about her, "Yangyang, are you hungry? Let ask the doctor if you can eat sothing now."
Ni Yang held Mo Qishen’s hand, "I’m not hungry, don’t worry, Mo Brother, besides, I’m a doctor myself, I know just fine, by the way, have mom and them stewed radishes? I’d like to have so Radish Soup first."
Radishes help with digestion.
Caesarean section patients can’t eat solid food before digestion begins.
"I’ll get it for you." Mo Qishen opened the thermos, feeding Ni Yang the Radish Soup.
The next morning, Ni Yang finally drank fresh Chicken Soup.
After the Chicken Soup, Ni Yang urged Mo Qishen to visit the children next door.
Mo Qishen said, "What’s so interesting about those three rascals? I want to spend more ti with you."
"I don’t need your company, go check on the kids! Interact with them."
Mo Qishen replied, "They can’t even see clearly now, how can I interact!"
"Just go when I tell you to!"
Seeing Ni Yang with a displeased expression, Mo Qishen reluctantly went next door.
He realized, these three rascals are here to compete for affection.
Ni Yang used to be so gentle with him!
Unlike now!
Around eleven in the morning.
Du Yeye and Du Jiaojiao arrived.
Du Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Yangyang, congratulations on the birth of your sons, and all three at once!"
"Sister Jiaojiao, Brother Du, please sit down."
Mo Qishen hurried to brew tea for them, "The Hospital conditions are simple, Brother Du, Sister Jiaojiao, please don’t mind."
"Why would we! This tea slls great!" Du Jiaojiao added, "By the way, where are the kids? I haven’t seen them."
