Chapter 2, Reminiscences of the Past

Last time, the woman was collecting firewood in the mountains, and suddenly felt that her abdominal pain was unbearable, and shouted, "Daddy, our baby is about to give birth, don't pull the saw, help me get into the car, hurry up, go to the hospital, my father immediately stopped the work at hand, helped my mother into the car, pulled the car to the hospital and ran, while running, I heard the doctor say, do you still have to give birth for more than a month, why so soon my mother said, how do I know, you hurry up, the doctor may be calculated according to the lunar calendar."

The lunar calendar refers to the lunar calendar. When I arrived at the hospital, it was actually a health center, that year, it was called a hospital, about two o'clock in the afternoon, the doctor said, it's okay to be a little fetal movement, a big belly and call your daughter-in-law to do something, go home and take it, my mother said, alas, scared me, I thought it was the day, the doctor Xiao Liu said, didn't I tell you, there is more than a month, my mother said, I thought you were counting the lunar calendar, Xiao Liu said what the lunar calendar of the solar calendar, go home.

The two of them returned home. I didn't work all afternoon. My mom said, how much did we like that board, and my dad said, there are six or seven cars.

My mother said, sell the board, let's sell some fine grain, or the child is born, always eat sweet potato paste, no nutrition, my dad agreed, the two discussed, sell the board to the neighbor Teacher Lu, that cultural people can't do heavy work, the two are double workers.

I can give more, and my mouth is tight, so I won't say it. In those days, the big pot of rice, everything was collective, and my parents' matter was called speculation.

It's not good to know. In those years, we had to sell tickets for everything, cloth for cloth, two votes for grain, and basin tickets for washbasins, anyway, no matter what you sell, it was a vote, and you had to say that the chairman taught us that we should fight for private criticism, and hit the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, in addition to the four evils, long live the chairman, the party guides us forward, comrade salesman, please give me that can, thank you.

Otherwise, the salesperson will ignore you. If you want me to see it, it's enough to eat and support, and it's not enough trouble.

At that time, there was a shortage of goods, and there was only one local product store in each town. There are canned food, canned peaches, canned sour residue, malt cream, anyway, how to say it, now a small store, than a big shopping mall at that time, more goods.

It's also complete. More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and at about half past two in the middle of the night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the moon is as white as day, only to hear a big thunder click, Xu Lao Er made a grand debut, and Qiao Feng's appearance song is put here.

As soon as Xu Lao Er was born, the whole family celebrated. Boss Xu, who was more than four years old, was ignored, wow wow crying, he felt that Xu Lao Er stole his limelight, Xu Lao Er was just born and the milk was not enough to eat, my father ran the whole Keyihe Town, looking for sheep and cattle everywhere, but he couldn't find it at all, because it was all collective.

If you move a little, you have to be criticized, no way, go to the supply and marketing cooperative, ink for a long time, and buy some milk powder. made Xu Lao Er as thin as a chicken.

The long snort is not welcome at all. belongs to that kind, uncle is not close, grandma is not loved, aunt is disgusted, anyway, the zoo is better than Xu Laoer.

Not only that, Xu Lao Er had neonatal pneumonia within a few days, crying at every turn, having difficulty breathing when crying, and in severe cases, shock, the longest time, for more than ten minutes.

Later, when I went to the hospital, the doctor sucked out the fluid in Xu Laoer's mouth through gauze. After sputum was suctioned, the shock problem was relieved, but within a few days, there was hypoglycemia and anemia.

There was no way, on my mother's body, it was divided several times, and three hundred, five hundred, milliliters of blood were drawn and injected into my little body.

After more than half a year, I had a high fever and fell into a coma several times, my parents had no choice, so they ran to Hedong, my fourth brother-in-law's house, at three o'clock in the morning, and asked him to come and give me acupuncture, because the medicine and food were useless at this time.

My fourth brother-in-law put on his clothes and ran to our house with my father, at that time our two families lived not too far and could run to it in fifteen minutes, as soon as my fourth brother-in-law entered the house, he saw that my face was purple and bruised, my whole body was hot, and it was difficult to breathe, and he said, I'll try it, he took out a lot of silver needles of different lengths and thicknesses, and pierced me like a hedgehog.

On the kang, my grandmother cried a handful of snot, blowing her nose with a footcloth, and wiping her tears. On the way back from my mother, Tang He accidentally broke his foot and fell into the water, unable to stand up.

Hao cried, while crying while climbing up the riverbank, been, got up early to pick up firewood, my grandmother Hu carried it home.

When they saw me at this time, Qixi was weak, and my mother cried to death. My fourth brother-in-law pricked the needle and said, wait a minute, if the child wakes up, it will be fine, if he can't wake up, I have done my best.

Tell my dad that you might as well prepare. My grandmother said, no, Li Yushan, if you don't save my grandson, I won't live either.

My mother cried and said, brother-in-law, is there any other way, you can think of it. My fourth brother-in-law said that there is no way, now I can only look at the will of God.

My grandmother said to my father, go to the paper, light incense, go to the yard, and chatter, saying that my grandmother got off the kang and came to the yard with my father, lit incense and burned paper, and my grandmother said, his grandfather, you bless and bless us, the gods passing by, you can do it.

Bless my grandson. As he spoke, he bowed in all directions. My fourth brother-in-law was in the house and had another needle.

For more than an hour, my breathing gradually stabilized, and my face slowly changed from purple to rosy. Although I didn't open my eyes, the fever subsided, and my grandmother came into the house and said to my brother-in-law, Yushan, you can stay at my house for a few days, look at my grandson.

He's okay when you're gone. My fourth brother-in-law said, okay, I'll go to the unit to ask for a few days off. That night, my grandmother had a dream, and I dreamed that my grandfather, sitting on the roof of my barn, called me grandma, and my grandma went out to see, wasn't that my grandfather.

Just ask, aren't you dead, how did you find it? My grandfather said, isn't this it, I saw that day, a few of your mothers, at the door of the ancestral hall, crying, and then a little boy came in, gave me incense, and called me dad.

I heard you say outside that you are going to the Northeast to find your nephew and escape for your life. I didn't worry, I followed, my grandmother asked, then how did you keep up this way, why don't I know at all.

My grandfather said, "I'm hiding in my luggage, and you're carrying me on your back." First I attached it to your gown, and then you gave it to the three girls, and I attached it to the belt of the four girls, and came with you.

My grandma said, then why don't you dream early, my grandfather said, isn't this afraid of scaring you girls. My grandmother said, you have been at our house all these years, watching us live a hard life.

My grandfather said that I had to hide during the day. I can't come out until night. Besides, I can't do anything, it's okay a few years ago, there is no door god at home, since five years ago, our family posted a door god, and I can't even enter the door.

Last night, I begged for a long time, saying that you are my daughter-in-law, and the god showed mercy and told me to go home and leave, so I was given three days, and I will return to the ancestral shrine tomorrow.

I'm going to call you out and ask how those two girls are doing. And this man, I watch him come back every night, that's our son.

It's twenty-three. Hehe, yesterday I went into the house to take a look, my second grandson is quite rare, and they will climb.

Hehe, you've worked hard. Our three daughters are in Zaozhuang. Now I can tell stories, and I sing very well in songs, so you don't have to worry.

It's almost dawn on this day, and I'll go back to my hometown ancestral shrine. Have a good time here. During the New Year's holidays, don't forget, burn some paper for me.

I'll receive it over there. My grandmother was just about to ask, why are you going back, and suddenly my grandfather disappeared. When my grandmother woke up, she told my parents about the dream she had.

said, don't be afraid, my grandson, it's okay, it's his grandfather who looks at him and has fun watching him, and he comes to the house to tease him.

It's okay, you can go burn some paper for your father, just talk about it. In this way, I got through a serious illness.

In my left eye, I had a slight squint because of the prolonged shock, but I couldn't even feel it myself.

My fourth brother-in-law said that my illness may have some sequelae. Anyway, I was in a coma for too long.

The child is small. That's it, three years have passed, I have always been yellow and thin, and I don't look like other children every day, very cute, I am annoyed everywhere.

My parents don't have time to care about me at work, but when my mom gets off work, I do it on her lap, and she coaxes me to play.

At that time, I was like a moving stumbling block, in my mother's arms, on my thighs, behind me, in front of me, there was no reason to hug, back, tease and fly.

Ask mom to tell a story. I couldn't understand what he was saying, but I just loved it. As soon as my mom went to work, I cried for no reason.

Rolling on the ground. Two years later, I was five years old, and I could say that I was in poor health and skinny.

Listening to my grandmother tell me those stories every day, Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain, and playing poker with my grandmother every day, I learned to play tricks.

Hide the big king and the little king, and let my grandmother give me a confession every time Oh, 😄 my brother went to school, he is already in the second grade of elementary school, and I am still wearing open crotch pants, and I still scratch eggs when I cross the threshold.

There are still ninety hairs on the back of his head, and he has small braids. So he never played with me. My grandmother was in poor health and was hospitalized in the Spring and Autumn Period, and my father was already the head of the storage and transportation unit of the Food Bureau.

He wholesaled flour for others, and others got him some cheap painkillers, analgin, yeast tablets, coptis, licorice tablets, glucose, anyway, some cheap medicines, to relieve my grandmother's pain and asthma.

Indigestion and other diseases. In fact, it is said that it is relieved, and it should be more accurate to say that it is stronger than hard.

In addition, my fourth brother-in-law can get needles and barely survive. When I was five years old, I just had a memory.

I remember my family building a new house, with mud in the slabs. More than 70 square meters, the yard covers an area including vegetable garden, pigsty, toilets, warehouses, and a total area of about one square kilometer.

Single door. Of course, there was no one there at the time. Close to the big woods, just two minutes from the woods.

A few years later, the Forestry Bureau set up a botanical garden in front of my house and a family area in the back. That was two years later, so I won't mention it for now.

He also said that when I was five years old, during the Chinese New Year, my father took me to watch the TV, black and white TV, 12 inches, which was one of the few three or four TVs, very awesome TV, I remember my dad holding me, I sat on my dad's shoulder.

I can't remember the name of the TV show I watched. Anyway, I remember, it was almost the New Year.

I was watching the TV and suddenly the power went out. My dad and the others came home depressed. As soon as I left my Uncle Jiang's house, my father saw that there was electricity wherever there should be electricity.

Including my family, I also have electricity, so I shouted to my mother that I will buy a TV tomorrow. Very bad temper. Say, just tomorrow.

Our family also went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and bought the largest TV set in the whole gram and a river. My mother was sullen and said, "Dad, don't be angry, you can't do it, our family can't afford it for the time being."

Let's put it there first. My dad grabbed my two arms with trembling hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Dog, my son, you must fight for it, and when you grow up, you can earn money to buy the biggest TV for your father."

Do you understand? I was scared, I didn't understand why he was angry and why he asked me to buy him a TV.

I nodded in confusion and said, "Got it." I asked, Dad, why are you angry? Don't be angry, I'm afraid.

My dad, wiping the tears from my face, smiled, and said, look at my temper, you know what a fart. Pat me on the ass and say, "Let's get your grandma to play poker."

You must be the emperor, get out. Hehe. I heard his hearty laugh. I was frightened, nervous and scared, and immediately the light rain turned cloudy, and the cloud turned to sunny.

Playing with the fart. The next day, it was the twentieth day of the lunar month, and my father really used the more than 600 yuan from the sale of the old house to buy one, the most awesome black and white TV, which can receive two channels.

It is still a domestic famous brand. Seventeen-inch black and white television. On the left, I have Aunt Yang's family, six people, on the right, I have four people from Aunt Zhang's family, three members of Uncle Lu's family, five members of Aunt Cao's family, and seven members of Uncle Li's family.

In short, all of us, the members of the East and West Houses, and the neighbors of the North and South Hutongs, all moved a stool, got a horse, and went to my house to watch TV.

At that time, the TV program was very exciting, and what impressed me the most was, such a line, audience friends, now start broadcasting, CCTV release, evening news broadcast, Xinhua News Agency latest news, Yunyun, here the background music plays, CCTV news broadcast, prelude.

Remember, no 😄. From that day on, our house, basically from one to six o'clock, was full. At that time, I was imprinted with the deepest TV series, just two, the hero Huo Yuanjia, Shanghai Tang, the sea lantern mage, and joked about Qianlong.

appeared in the later period, Feixue shot the white deer in the sky, and the smiling book god leaned on the blue duck. Qiong Yao's six dreams, dumb wife, Wanjun, plum blossom three lanes, green riverside grass.

Love is priceless, and loneliness seeks defeat. Wait a minute.
