Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

After a while, Ding Wanru, carrying the faded medical kit on her back, greeted Qin Shan:

"Uncle Qin, I'm going back now. If Auntie needs anything, just have Liping or Lijuan call me, and I'll come right away."

Qin Shan took out a few crumpled bills from his pocket and handed them over.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Ding. Here's some money for your house call."

Ding Wanru took a step back: "No, no, we're all neighbors, how can I accept money for helping look after the child? Please keep the money to buy your aunt some good food to nourish her body."

Qin Shan wanted to give her more, but Ding Wanru had already turned and walked away.

That's just her personality. When she treats people in the village, those with money give her a few yuan, those without money give her a handful of eggs, and for those who are really struggling, she even pays for the medicine herself.

The villagers all say she's kind-hearted, but kindness doesn't bring money. Over the years, she's been practicing medicine alone in the village, barely making ends meet, and hasn't accumulated much wealth.

Fortunately, Chen Yongqiang helped her both openly and secretly.

I help her sell some spice packets sometimes, otherwise, how could she support herself with such a meager income?

Chen Yongqiang followed Ding Wanru out and walked beside her, as if to see her off.

After walking for a while, Ding Wanru stopped. "Alright, that's enough. If you have something to do, go ahead and take care of it."

Chen Yongqiang finally asked, "Are you having a boy or a girl?"

Ding Wanru smiled. The smile held a hint of mystery, a touch of smugness, and an undisguised joy.

"They all have..."

Chen Yongqiang didn't react for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Ding Wanru pursed her lips: "I checked my own pulse, and it's very likely I'm carrying... twins."

Twins? A boy and a girl?

Ding Wanru couldn't help but laugh when she saw his expression, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

She didn't say anything more, carried her medicine box, turned around and continued walking forward.

Chen Yongqiang stood there, watching her walk away, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

He originally just wanted to confirm whether Ding Wanru's side was male or female, so he would have a better idea.

Unexpectedly, there was another surprise: this meant Chen Yongqiang would have two fewer sons.

The boy in Ding Wanru's belly, plus the boy in Wang Guixiang's belly, should also be a boy.

"At least two sons are enough."

Despite his joy, he couldn't forget the promise he had made to Ding Wanru.

He had promised when he was with Ding Wanru.

The child, whether a boy or a girl, will take Ding Wanru's surname and be considered a member of her Ding family.

She was all alone, with no one to rely on. If she had a child who took her surname, she would have someone to depend on when she got old.

Let the son take the surname Ding; he's his bloodline, after all.

When he grows up, he will still acknowledge him as his father.

During the following period, Chen Yongqiang was extremely busy.

The house has reached the most crucial step: raising the roof beam. Raising the roof beam is a big day in house construction and cannot be taken lightly.

Lin Wenfeng personally took charge, planing the beams until they were smooth and then drawing auspicious patterns on them, waiting for the auspicious time to put them up.

Aside from occasionally going up the mountain to hunt and supplement his family income, Chen Yongqiang spends most of his time at the construction site.

Every morning, I would first discuss the day's progress with Lin Wenfeng, and then check if we had enough timber and bricks.

While the workers were working, he would lend a hand, handing them bricks and lifting logs, never idle.

Lin Xiulian's belly grew bigger day by day, making it difficult for her to move around.

Chen Yongqiang told her not to do any work and to take good care of herself.

The Qin sisters came early in the morning to help with cooking and also to keep an eye on the tea service at the construction site.

Ding Wanru would occasionally come over to check on Lin Wenfeng, examine his pulse, and treat the workers' minor injuries and illnesses.

When the two met, they tacitly agreed not to say much, but simply nodded and smiled.

Days passed by, and the house grew taller day by day, with the day of the roof beam being erected drawing ever closer.

The night before the scheduled beam-raising ceremony, Chen Yongqiang was discussing the details with Lin Wenfeng in the work shed when Qin Shan walked over.

"Yongqiang, are you busy?"

"Don't be busy, Uncle Qin, is something the matter?" Chen Yongqiang noticed that he seemed preoccupied.

Qin Shan glanced at Lin Wenfeng and asked, "Have you caught any wild rabbits lately?"

He's been feeling really frustrated lately. He's always wanted a son, and he's been longing for one ever since, but it turns out he has another girl.

These past few days, I've appeared to be fine on the surface, but I'm definitely not feeling well inside.

He saw all the gossip and meaningful glances in the village.

Right now, I want to talk to someone, have a few drinks to relieve my frustration.

"Uncle Qin Shan, wait here, I'll go up the mountain and hunt a few. Fresh ones taste the best." Chen Yongqiang walked towards the thatched hut to get his hunting rifle.

"No need, no need, it's so late..." Qin Shan said somewhat embarrassed.

"It's alright. I'll be back in a bit." Chen Yongqiang slung his hunting rifle over his shoulder and headed towards the back of the mountain.

Tianlang had already run ahead; it had been listening intently to Chen Yongqiang and Qin Shan's conversation.

Upon seeing Chen Yongqiang with a gun, he darted away and ran up the mountain without looking back.

They're probably already wandering around in the woods by now.

Chen Yongqiang walked up the mountain path he had walked countless times.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Chen Yongqiang slowed his pace and scanned his surroundings.

Once you get here, there are more wild animals.

The area around the paddy field is teeming with wild rabbits. These creatures reproduce quickly and are found everywhere, coming out to forage for food as soon as it gets dark.

If you're not too unlucky, you'll always run into a few after going around once.

There are far fewer wild boars recently. Last time, he led Tianlang to clear out a wave, and the number of wild boars in this area has obviously decreased.

If we want to hunt wild boar again, we have to go deep into the mountains and to places where no one goes.

But we don't need to tonight. Qin Shan wants wild rabbits, so we don't need to go that far.

They hadn't gone far when a shadow suddenly appeared in the beam of the miner's lamp.

A wild rabbit was squatting on the edge of the field, nibbling on the grass, moving back and forth.

Chen Yongqiang had already raised his hunting rifle.

He's been hunting a lot lately, and his marksmanship has improved considerably.

Before, he would have to take a while to aim at such a distance, but now he can feel it as soon as he raises his hand.

He aimed the gun at the rabbit and put his finger on the trigger.

boom--

The rabbit fell to the ground with a thud, kicked its legs twice, and then stopped moving.

Tianlang darted over, snatched the rabbit, and placed it at Chen Yongqiang's feet.

Chen Yongqiang bent down, picked up the wild rabbit, and weighed it in his hand; it was about three pounds.

He slung the hare over his back and patted Sirius's head: "Well done."

Sirius turned and ran forward again. Chen Yongqiang continued walking forward, the beam of his miner's lamp flickering in the darkness.

Gunshots rang out from time to time in the woods, and before long, Chen Yongqiang had shot three wild rabbits.

Sirius wasn't idle either; he ran back carrying a live wild rabbit in his mouth.

Chen Yongqiang had just praised it when it darted out again and returned with another one a short while later.

We caught two alive and three dead, a total of five.
