Chapter 001: Xiao Chengfeng
One early morning in the mid-eighties, it was snowing that day. The snow had fallen all night, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated in the compound of the Lianhua Town Health Center. In the corridor of the health center, two people walked around uneasily, they were a young man and a middle-aged woman. From time to time, the young man stopped and looked at the operating room where the baby was delivered.
The young man's name is Wu Jianhua, he is twenty-seven years old this year, he already has a three-year-old daughter, and the middle-aged woman next to him is the young man's mother, Qu Xiangfen. In the operating room, Wu Jianhua's daughter-in-law Yang Xiujuan was waiting to give birth inside, and there was no movement for more than an hour, Wu Jianhua and his mother seemed a little restless.
"Wow...... Wow...... Wow......"
Suddenly, there was a cry of a baby in the delivery room. Wu Jianhua was overjoyed, looking at the door of the delivery room excitedly and didn't know what to do.
Soon, the door to the delivery room opened, and out of it came four people in white coats, who were the doctors and nurses who delivered the babies. One of the white coats took off her mask, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman, she glanced at Wu Jianhua and his mother, and said, "It's a son, mother and son are safe!"
"Ah...... Thank you, doctor......" Wu Jianhua's excited hand didn't know where to put it.
"You can go in and see the mother now!" said the female doctor.
Wu Jianhua impatiently pushed the door and walked into the delivery room, and he saw a woman lying on the hospital bed in the delivery room, and there was a newborn baby next to the woman.
"Juan......
Wu Jianhua shouted and walked quickly to the hospital bed.
The daughter in her twenties on the hospital bed was a little pale, and her eyes looked lovingly at the baby next to her, who looked like a kitten.
Three days later, Wu Jianhua asked a buddy named Wu Liguo in the village to drive a tractor to bring the family back to the village. At that time, tractors were not yet popular, and whoever had a tractor was a great character.
Wu Jianhua's village is called Wujiazhai, and most of the people in the village are surnamed Wu, and there are only a few foreign surnames.
Wu Jianhua's father had been waiting at home for a long time, and he was overjoyed to see his grandson. Wu Jianhua's father's name is Wu Jingyi, and he is a commercial grain.
The so-called commercial grain is the commercial grain account, the fixed wage subsidy issued by the state, and the state issues food stamps every month, such as state cadres, public teachers, and employees of state-owned units.
Wu Jingyi was an employee of the Municipal Tractor Factory, and the tractor factories at that time were all state-owned. Therefore, Wu Jingyi is the kind of commodity grain household that the people in the village envy.
Wu Jingyi is a cultural person, and he also understands the I Ching, the Four Pillars and Eight Characters and other strange magicians. After Wu Jingyi's calculations, he concluded that the new grandson was short of wood in the five elements. So, Wu Jingyi decided to give his new grandson a name with wooden characters. Wu Jingyi's grandson's generation is ranked in the family tree. After thinking about it, Wu Jingyi decided to name his grandson Wu Chengfeng.
In a blink of an eye, three years have passed, and Xiao Chengfeng has grown into a little boy with a tiger head. Xiao Chengfeng had just been weaned, and he ran around with his sister in the yard all day long. Xiao Chengfeng's sister is called Wu Chengmin, and she is six years old this year. At that time, there were no kindergartens in rural areas, and children could only go to school until they were seven years old. Wu Chengmin has not yet gone to school, and plays with his younger brother at home every day.
"Sister, sister, wait for me......"
Wu Chengmin ran in front, and Wu Chengfeng chased behind. It's summer, and even if the wind blows, it brings a heat wave. Wu Chengmin was wearing a red coarse cloth shirt with a few patches on the shirt, black trousers on the bottom, and a pair of red shoes on his feet. Wu Chengfeng was wearing a red belly pocket, a bare little buttocks, and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet. Probably because he is usually too naughty, the big thumbs of both shoes are arched and exposed. Wu Chengfeng's face was dirty, and he couldn't care about wiping his nose, he was holding a big fabric rooster made for him by his mother, and he kept chasing Wu Chengmin.
"Xiao Min, Xiao Feng, don't run away! Come here!" Yang Xiujuan shouted when she walked over from outside.
"Mom, Mom!" Wu Chengfeng ran towards Yang Xiujuan.
"Look at you kid! your face is like a mud monkey! Quick! Mom will take you to wash your face, let's take pictures!" Yang Xiujuan finished speaking, pulling Wu Chengfeng towards the water tank.
It turned out that today there was a photo shoot in the village, and a photo was five cents. Most of the people in the village have never seen it, and they are curious, and many people spend money to take pictures to keep a souvenir in the future. Yang Xiujuan saw her neighbor Jinhua taking a picture of the child, and she was also moved, and went home to take a picture of the two children.
After Yang Xiujuan washed Wu Chengfeng's face, she called the photographer over, and she asked Wu Chengfeng and Wu Chengmin to stand in the courtyard. Wu Chengmin was already sensible and stood in an orderly manner, but Wu Chengfeng didn't understand anything, he stood in front of Wu Chengmin with a big rooster and looked around.
"Xiao Feng, look here!" shouted her mother, Yang Xiujuan.
Wu Chengfeng looked over curiously, he only saw a flash of white light, a "click" sound, and he was dazed and didn't know what was going on.
Time passed day by day, Wu Chengmin went to elementary school, and Wu Chengfeng was five years old. After Wu Chengmin went to school, there was no one to play with Wu Chengfeng. Wu Jianhua followed the car pulling lime from the village to Shandong, and he could only go home once in ten days and half a month. After Yang Xiujuan finished her housework, she took Wu Chengfeng to the neighbor's house. At that time, rural people did not have the concept of going out to work, and most of them worked as family farmers. When the farm is not working, it is a group of three or five to get together to drink water, chat and play poker. Yang Xiujuan likes to play poker, and she often plays with a few women in the neighborhood. In Wujiazhai, the most popular way to play poker is called upgrading. This upgrade game must be familiar to many people, that is, four people play together, two people opposite is a group, who finishes the cards first, which group wins. When Yang Xiujuan was playing cards, Wu Chengfeng sat next to him with wide eyes and watched, quiet not like a child of his age.
On the morning of this day, Yang Xiujuan and her neighbors Jin Hua, Zhang Liqin, and Meng Junying played an upgrade together. Yang Xiujuan and Jin Hua are in a group, Zhang Liqin and Meng Junying are in a group. Among the four of Yang Xiujuan, Yang Xiujuan's playing skills are poor, she can't remember and count cards, she is playing blindly with her head down. It's only been a while, Zhang Liqin's group has reached 9, and Yang Xiujuan's group has just hit 3. After counting again, Yang Xiujuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, she saw Wu Chengfeng sitting on the small bench next to her, and said, "Xiaofeng, you help your mother draw cards first, and your mother will go to the toilet!" After Yang Xiujuan finished speaking, she tore off a piece of paper and hurriedly ran to the toilet.
Yang Xiujuan may have eaten the pickles and radishes for breakfast that were not clean, and now she has some diarrhea and has been in the toilet for a long time. After squating for more than ten minutes, Yang Xiujuan's legs were a little numb. Yang Xiujuan came out of the toilet, worried that the three Jinhua would blame her, and hurried back to the room. When Jin Hua entered the house, she found that poker was being played in the room, and Wu Chengfeng was sitting in her place, holding a handful of cards in her hand, tilting her little head and looking at it seriously.
"You kid, you don't understand, give me the cards!" Yang Xiujuan walked over and said.
