"I want to see it, thank you uncle. I want to see it."
While Qin Hao and the other adults were still thinking about what was going on, Xiao Lingdang had already run up to Xie Zhiyao and grabbed his trousers and acted coquettishly.
Xie Zhiyao had a big word "囧" written on his face, and he couldn't continue to argue with a child about what to call him, so he could only hold Little Ling Ding's hand and walk to the stable.
Xu Hongmi was worried about her daughter's safety, so she followed her.
Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou looked at each other and followed behind.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the stable and found that in an open stable, there were already two veterinarians in white coats. There was a horse lying in front of them, snoring from time to time, and seemed to be uncomfortable.
Little Lingdang asked Xie Zhiyao worriedly: "Thank you, uncle, is he sick?"
"No, she is about to become a mother, and the baby pony in her belly will be born soon." Xie Zhiyao explained patiently.
Little Bell's eyes widened with surprise on her face.
When Xu Hongmi heard this, she frowned and said to Xie Zhiyao: "It's better not for children to watch this kind of scene. I'll take the bell out first."
However, just as he was about to pick up the little bell.
Little Lingdang hid behind Qin Hao, hugged Qin Hao's legs and stuck out a little head from the middle to protest: "No, I want to see the baby pony born."
"Bell bell, be obedient and we won't watch."
"No, no, I just want to see it, I just want to see it."
If women are not born to be actors, the little girl is even more gifted. Her little face sheds tears at every turn, not to mention how pitiful she is.
Xu Hongdou couldn't stand it anymore: "Oh, what are you doing? This is also a rare opportunity for Lingdang to see the birth of life. She may only see it once in her life, so just let her see it."
"But what if something happens to the mare during childbirth and causes a psychological shadow on the child?" Xu Hongmi retorted.
Seeing this, Xie Zhiyao smoothed things over and said: "This mare has been checked, the fetal position is very correct, and there is a doctor here, there will be no problems."
Qin Hao also picked up Little Lingdang and coaxed: "Okay, okay, if Little Lingdang doesn't cry, can we witness the birth of baby pony together?"
"Yeah." Little Lingdang sobbed and nodded seriously.
Xu Hongmi wanted to say something else, but her cell phone rang. She glanced at the phone number and saw that it was a customer calling, so she had no choice but to walk out of the stable to answer the call.
Xiao Ling Ding got her wish and immediately burst into laughter. However, her body was still sobbing and trembling. Qin Hao moved a chair, sat down, held Xiao Ling Ding in his arms, and let her
You can see the mare's birth process in a more emotional way.
An hour later, there was still no sign of the mare starting to give birth. Even Xu Hongdou was a little anxious and asked Xie Zhiyao.
"Why haven't you started yet? Is there anything going to go wrong?"
Xie Zhiyao shook his head: "This is a normal phenomenon, don't worry."
While talking, I suddenly heard a veterinarian say: "It's coming soon."
Then gradually, the mare's belly began to squirm and she let out a mournful cry. However, the veterinarian did not intervene rashly, but waited for the mare to give birth normally.
Xie Zhiyao explained: "Generally speaking, as long as the pony's legs are not misaligned and stuck, it is better to let it give birth naturally. In this way, the foal will not only be healthy and strong, but it will also be helpful for the mare to give birth to another litter in the future.
benefit."
Little Lingdang's face turned pale with nervousness. She raised her head and said to Qin Hao: "Uncle, it looks so painful. Can we help it?"
Qin Hao shook his head and said: "This is a normal birth process. If we intervene rashly, both the mare and the foal may be harmed. We must learn to respect the laws of nature, you know?"
Little Lingdang obviously didn't understand much, so she was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "Did my mother feel so uncomfortable when she gave birth to me?"
"Yes, the birth process of mammals is very painful."
While they were talking, the foal's head had been squeezed out. Seeing this, Xie Zhiyao and the two veterinarians breathed a sigh of relief. If the butt comes out first, it means that the mare will not be able to give birth normally in a short period of time.
Otherwise, the foal will be suffocated to death due to lack of oxygen.
Once the brain comes out, the rest will be easy to handle.
Xie Zhiyao fed the mare some beans to replenish her strength. Under the gaze of everyone, the foal finally completely separated from the mother's body, and the little fella struggled to stand up.
Little Bell clenched her fists, as if this could convey strength to the foal.
Finally, under the expectant eyes of everyone, the foal stood up shakily and struggled to get closer to its mother. The mare also turned its belly so that it could drink the first sip of milk more easily.
When Little Lingdang saw this, she curiously asked Qin Hao: "Uncle, was this the same when I was just born?"
Qin Hao was delighted: "Humans don't have as good a physique as horses. They can't even open their eyes when they're just born, let alone stand up. You need careful care from your parents to become what you are now."
At this moment, Xu Hongmi had finished talking to her client on the phone. As soon as she walked into the stable, Xiao Lingdang pounced on her.
"Mom, it turns out you worked so hard when you gave birth to me. I will never talk back to you again. Can you forgive me?"
Xu Hongmi hugged her daughter tightly, changing her previous image of a strong woman, and burst into tears.
"Mom, forgive you. Mom also made mistakes. She shouldn't have disrespected your opinion. Can you forgive mom?"
"Yeah." Little Bell nodded her head seriously with red eyes.
"Ling Dang is so good. Mom will never be cruel to you again, okay." Xu Hongmi hugged the little Ling Dang tightly.
"Well, then Lingdang won't be angry with mom anymore."
"Okay, what about the hook?"
Xu Hongdou also wet her eyes when she saw this scene. Upon seeing this, Qin Hao gently hugged her into his arms and comforted her silently.
Xie Zhiyao looked at the scene in front of him with envy and longing.
After a while, Xu Hongmi calmed down. She was pulled by the little bell to see the foal. She also explained to Xu Hongmi the process of a mare giving birth to a foal. Although her vocabulary was very poor, her expressions were also very good.
It was intermittent, but Xu Hongmi listened very seriously.
Xie Zhiyao glanced at the time and suggested: "It's almost dinner time, why don't we go have a meal and come back."
Xu Hongmi picked up her daughter and walked to Xie Zhiyao: "Mr. Xie, I apologize to you for what happened just now, and thank you for allowing my daughter to see the birth of life."
"Hey, there's no need to be so polite, it makes me a little embarrassed." Xie Zhiyao smiled.
Before leaving, Little Lingdang was still a little reluctant to leave. Qin Hao thought about it and said to her: "How about letting Lingdang name this horse?"
Little Lingdang immediately turned her attention to Xie Zhiyao, her little face full of expectation.
Xie Zhiyao smiled: "Of course it's no problem."
"Yeah, mom, did you hear that? I can give the little pony a name." Little Lingdang immediately beamed happily and kept acting coquettishly with Xu Hongmi.
Xu Hongmi has always been very strict with Lingdang's education, which also makes Lingdang a little afraid of her. She has rarely been so close to her since she was three years old. At this time, Xu Hongmi has no resistance at all to her daughter's coquettishness.
, I agreed directly.
However, Little Bell soon had a new worry. What kind of name should he give the foal?
Xu Hongmi couldn't help but want to help her daughter: "How about calling her little princess?"
Little Lingdang pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, no, the veterinarian uncle just said it is a boy."
Xu Hongmi wanted to say something else, but was covered by a small hand: "I have to think for myself, I will definitely be able to think of a nice name."
Seeing Xu Hongmi's deflated appearance, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but laugh secretly.
A group of people came to the Gesanghua Hotel. While eating, Xiao Lingdang was still thinking about the name. He was absent-minded while eating, which made everyone smile knowingly.
This meal was actually mainly for two veterinarians, and Xie Zhiyao toasted frequently.
Qin Hao also drank a few drinks with him. With his drinking capacity, he basically didn't drink.
I feel a little drifting when I walk.
After coming out of the Gesanghua Hotel, Qin Hao said to Xu Hongdou, "You can send Sister Hongmi and the others back to the hotel. I'll take Xie Zhiyao back."
"Well, slow down on the road." Xu Hongdou nodded.
On the way to the hotel, the two sisters didn't say a word at first. After a while, Xu Hongmi said.
"This is pretty good. Don't pick any more. She's already so old. She still thinks she's a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl."
This sentence directly caused Xu Hongdou to wipe out his previous good impression of Xu Hongmi and said angrily.
"What do you mean you're old? I'm only in my early thirties, okay, but you're only a few years old."
Xu Hongmi was not angry, and said calmly: "Yes, I am a young man, but I got married and my bells are already so big. What about you? You had a job before, but now you have quit your job.
What other capital do you have? To put it bluntly, if someone doesn’t dislike you and has conditions like his, if you go to the blind date market, I don’t know how many girls will jump at you, so be careful."
With just one sentence, Xu Hongdou was so stunned that he was unable to refute.
Xu Hongmi still felt that it was not enough, and continued: "Don't be so angry just because you are pretty. In a few years, when you become like me, you will know what regret is."
"Hmph, I won't turn into a yellow-faced woman."
"Who are you calling a yellow-faced woman?"
"Talking about you, yellow-faced woman."
Without exception, the two sisters started to quarrel again, and the quarrel continued all the way to the door of the hotel. Xu Hongdou turned around and left angrily.
Xu Hongmi didn't forget to shout from behind: "My parents told you to go home and take them back this time. I brought them with you. It's up to you whether you listen or not."
Here, Qin Hao settled Xie Zhiyao and returned to the windy courtyard, where he saw Xu Hongdou sulking alone.
"What's wrong? Did you quarrel with your sister again?"
Xu Hongdou said depressedly: "You think, if I get old, will I really become like my sister?"
Qin Hao was happy: "Hey, are you worried about this?"
"I don't want to be like her sarcastic person."
"However, let me tell you, you two have one thing in common."
"What?"
"A poisonous tongue, a mouth that is unforgiving."
Xu Hongdou became anxious upon hearing this, and pinched the soft flesh around Qin Hao's waist: "You have a venomous tongue. Say it again."
"Hiss, it hurts. I can use my venomous tongue. Please spare my life, Heroine."
"Hmph, then I'm not as savage as her. I can just use my mouth but also my hands."
Qin Hao smiled and said, "You can't beat her, so that's why you don't do it, right?"
"Tell me again"
Xu Hongdou chased Qin Hao all over the yard angrily, and Qin Hao happily enjoyed the flirting between lovers.
In the next few days, Qin Hao took Xu Hongmi and Xiao Lingdang to play around the village. Of course, they mostly played with Xiao Lingdang. Xu Hongmi was either answering the phone or typing on her mobile phone.
Several power banks ran out of power one day outside, which made Xu Hongdou secretly complain that Xu Hongmi had brought his office to Yunmiao Village.
"Your sister is also under a lot of pressure. At her age, she is a senior executive of a large company at best, or a middle-level cadre responsible for work at worst. She is so involved now. If she can't move up in recent years,
, maybe they will be replaced by younger generations. Being unemployed in the middle age is very scary. There are seniors and juniors, and you can’t even find anyone to talk to."
Qin Hao held Xu Hongdou's hand and said with a smile: "Actually, sometimes you should thank her. She has attracted so much pressure for you since you were a child. Otherwise, how could you have stayed quietly in the capital for so many years?
?”
Xu Hongdou thought about it. Xu Hongmi had been called "other people's children" by her relatives since she was a child. If she had been in her shoes, she might have collapsed a long time ago.
"Why did you start saying nice things for her? Please remember your position. Others said a few nice things for you and then you were shaken."
Qin Hao asked curiously: "Oh? Sister Hongmi also said something nice for me? When, why didn't I know?"
"There's nothing nice to say. You heard wrong."
"You are just lying. What on earth did you say to me?"
"I didn't say anything. Maybe I heard wrong."
Xu Hongmi was on the phone and was attracted by the fight between the two. She couldn't help feeling a little sore and could only comfort herself in her heart.
"Humph, it's like this at the beginning of the relationship. After they get married for a few years, they will know what a middle-aged couple is."
That night, Xu Hongmi suddenly said.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. The company is pressing me hard."
Xu Hongdou was a little surprised, but also a little reluctant: "So fast? Didn't you say you can play for a week?"
"It's almost five working days. There are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with at the company. Besides, Lingdang's grandparents also want to have children. She has to make two hours of video calls every night these days. If she doesn't go back, she will be really worried.
They are coming after me." Xu Hongmi said helplessly.
Little Lingdang looked unhappy: "But, I haven't decided what to name the little pony yet."
Qin Hao comforted him: "It doesn't matter. You can call my uncle at any time if you think of it. Then he will tell the uncles at the racecourse your name."
"Well, thank you, uncle."
The corner of Xu Hongdou's mouth moved, but in the end she didn't correct Xiao Lingdang's name.
