    Two days later, Zhang Fangyuan widened the one-baby crib that was originally prepared at home became two-babies crib. The carpenter could do it very quickly, it was very fast if he put it in the carpenter's house, but Zhang Fangyuan wanted to make a crib for Dabao and Erbao himself, so it was delayed for a few days.

[大宝 Dà bǎo: big/eldest treasure]

[二宝 èr bǎo: second treasure]

    These days, the two little guys were sleeping with the couple on the big bed at home. The cubs were still too young. Zhang Fangyuan didn't dare to move around on the bed. He could only sleep for three hours at night, and he had to wake up from time to time to see the babies.

    Fortunately, the two little guys didn't make much noise during these days. At night, when the lamp was blown, the older brother fell asleep, and the little ge'er asked his daddies to hold him on the edge of the bed and shake him for a while before he would fall asleep.

    Maybe Zhang Fangyuan was generous enough, the two cubs felt safe nestled next to the big daddy and the little daddy, and it was rare for them to wake up crying at night after they fell asleep, the two of them were very worry-free treasures.

    Although he didn't sleep very well at night, Zhang Fangyuan was still in good spirits, as if he had been injected with chicken blood everyday, he was very energetic.

[打了鸡血 dǎ jī xuè: lit. to inject chicken blood, someone who is so excited as if sb has received an injection of a drug. In the 1960s, some Chinese people believed injecting chicken blood into their veins could make them healthy and cure many diseases]

    During the first month after the babies were born, there was no idle time.

    "Both are needed. with the two to breastfeed the babies should be good, right?"

    "Don't worry, it's very good. Many little ge'ers in the village give birth to their children and they all ask for milk for their children from me. "

Zhang Fangyuan patted the two ewes. They were well-raised, sturdy and had  milk. He was quite satisfied. The ge'ers couldn't breastfeed their children, so the cubs could only find milk from cow and sheep. Although the nutrition was similar, sheep was much cheaper to buy than cow these days.

    "Let's do it."

    The two ewes costed Zhang Fangyuan copper coins, which was much more expensive than pigs, but he couldn't be sloppy when it came to the children. Xu He also told him that he would choose the best ewe for the children. The adults could be frugal, but children were still so young, so they must have the best.

    He also tried to look for ewe in Shicheng's family, back then when he was still a butcher, he bought the pigs from them first. However he had to be careful when he bought the ewes to feed his children, and he was afraid of encountering sick ewe.

    He drove the two ewes back to the village. He met some villagers who went to the field along the way, and everyone looked at the two ewes eagerly.

   "Back then the ge'er from our family bought the goat milk for the baby. It was really troublesome to run around to buy milk, but the condition of the Zhang family is good. They can just buy two ewes and tie them back. The children can eat when they are hungry. "

    "I tell you, this ge'er has to marry into a wealthy family like the Zhang family. Otherwise, if an ordinary family doesn't have a sister-in-law at the top and no younger siblings at the bottom, and the children still have to rely on going outside to buy milk, no one can bear it. "

    Zhang Fangyuan only heard the mutterings of the village women, but he didn't know what they were talking about, but someone who dug the ground called him: " Butcher Zhang, did you buy these ewes to feed your children? "

    "Yes."

    "It's not good for the children to drink ewe's milk alone, they have to drink milk from human beings, so that the children can grow up healthy and smart in the future." 

    Zhang Fangyuan was half believing half doubting, because most of the children of the ge'ers in the village grew up drinking ewe's milk, and they didn't  grow up to be a fool. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that people in the city would hire a wet nurse to feed their children if they had the conditions.

    He pondered for a while, it was better to hire a wet nurse from the village, it was just a matter of spending more money.

    Zhang Fangyuan said a few polite words to the villager: "Okay, thank you. Come over to the children's full moon banquet in a few days."

    He dragged the ewes and went home, he was going to discuss this matter with Xu He. When he arrived at the gate of his own courtyard, he found that there was a guest in the house. Zhang Fangyuan tied the ewes in the courtyard, he thought that it was Liu Xianglan who came to see her grandsons again, but when he went in, he saw a woman from the same village who hadn't come to the house very much.

    He glanced at Xu He in confusion.

    "Aunt Zhao from the village, she wanted to breastfeed Dabao and Erbao."

    The woman looked honest and a bit shy, but she could talk to Xu He very well. When she saw the man who came back, especially Zhang Fangyuan who looked vicious, she didn't move her mouth, and after nodding with Zhang Fangyuan, she said to Xu He: "He ge'er, after you think about it, just tell me."

    "Okay." Xu He sent her out, and then he saw the two ewes in the yard. After seeing the woman walking away he said: "Aunt Zhao heard that there are two babies in our family, so she came to the door and said that she would breastfeed our baby."

    "It's a good thing." Zhang Fangyuan said happily: "I was going to discuss this matter with you after I came back. I didn't expect someone to come here by herself."

    Xu He said: "I didn't agree, I thought we didn't need it since you had already bought ewe."

    "It's okay, it's only a matter of spending a little more money, and besides, the money we save is for the children."

    Xu He nodded with a smile, the two cubs in their family could eat quite a lot. The older brother seemed could drink milk as much as the healthy baby of ordinary people. The little ge'er looked small, but he couldn't stop drinking milk, even more than his older brother. So it was also good to drink with ewe's milk and breast milk.

    "I originally planned to spend some money and buy ewe when the child was born, but I didn't expect to spend a lot of money after the two children came."

    One ewe became two ewes, and they still had to make more clothes for the children. Originally, Zhang Fangyuan  said that Xu He made too many clothes, the child would grow fast, and the clothes wouldn't last long. How could they know that when the child really came, the things that were originally well prepared and sufficient, but now they were not enough.
