"Fluttershy don't talk, just rest, you don't have to worry about anything, we've got you covered. Lan Yuzhi hurriedly said.

Zhuang Xiaodie snorted, then closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

Zhenhua stayed outside and didn't dare to go.

Lan Yuzhi walked out and said, "Zhenhua, you and Second Uncle Qi Lei can't go, you have to stay here." I'll be in the hall and I'll make a bed for you. ”

When a child is born, an adult man is still needed to accompany him to prevent the 'life thief' from stealing the child. It is said that the stolen ghost is very cunning and will get in through people's chimneys and steal the lives of children. With an adult man at home, he can deter these ghosts and spirits from acting rashly.

"Okay. Zhenhua nodded.

Qi Lei is not at home, and Zhenhua is responsible for the task of guarding Zhuang Xiaodie and the newborn.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will trouble Zhenhua to call Qi Lei and report the good news, just say that the mother and son are safe, and let him not worry. Lan Yuzhi said again.

"Okay. Zhenhua nodded again.

Lan Yuzhi prepared a bed outside for Zhenhua and Second Uncle Qi to rest. Lan Yuzhi herself accompanies Fluttershy and takes care of her grandson.

Sleeping in the hall of Qi Lei's house, Zhenhua was very unaccustomed to it, and he hardly slept at night.

Early the next morning, Zhenhua went home to wash with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and talked about it with his mother by the way.

Cui Hong smiled, "I knew that Fluttershy was a son, and she could eat it when she was pregnant!

Zhenhua's father was also very envious and said, "Yes, it's good to have a child." Now that he is engaged in family planning, Qi Lei's first child gave birth to a son, just like playing cards, and he caught a king in the first hand! ”

Cui Hong turned around and walked to the backyard, grabbed two old hens, and counted twenty more eggs to send to Lan Yuzhi.

Zhao Chenghai was reluctant, frowned and said, "Mom, it's not time to give a gift yet, what are you doing here?"

Tsan said, "Fluttershy doesn't have a mother's family, it's a shame, I'll go see her in advance." Send two chickens and give her a make-up. ”

Zhao Chenghai frowned, "Then you don't need two old hens? You're willing to give away two old hens at once! Zhenxia is in confinement, don't you just give four chickens?"

"Okay, okay, I'll send a chicken over. Knowing that her husband was stingy, Cui Hong sighed and lost a chicken, taking only one chicken and eggs with her to see Fluttershy.

When she came to Qi Lei's house, Cui Hong first looked at Fluttershy and the child, said a few words of congratulations, and then said to Lan Yuzhi, "Auntie, you have to be willing to give Fluttershy to eat, one hen a day, this is indispensable." In the confinement, you must not suffer losses, otherwise you will fall into the root of a lifetime of disease. ”

Lan Yuzhi took Cuihong's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, auntie, there are not a few chickens at home, but Qi Lei has left money, I can buy them." ”

Tsan touches Fluttershy's forehead again and says, "Fluttershy is in good health, listen to your mother." You have to eat more, and only when you eat well can you have milk, so that your child can grow well. ”

Fluttershy smiled happily, "Thank you, Auntie." ”

"Hehe, it's good to have a son in the first child. His aunt will be blessed in the future, and she will be blessed!" Cuihong was envious and happy, lingering for a long time, and then went home.

Zhenhua had already washed up at this time, ate a bite of breakfast casually, stepped on the muddy road, went straight to Hedong Town, and called Qi Lei.

There is only one public telephone in Hedong Town, which was installed by Ding Zhiwang, a home appliance maintenance boss and cross-eyed man, who spent 6,000 yuan last spring. The charge is also ruthless, three cents per minute. Although the fee is expensive, it brings convenience to everyone.

Zhenhua came to Ding Zhiwang's house and called the number left by Qi Lei.

This is the phone number of Zhang Guoning, the project manager of Nanjing Jian'an Company.

The phone went through, and the other side asked, "Who?"

Zhenhua said, "Please inform Qi Lei, his son has given birth...... No, no, no, it was his wife who gave birth and gave birth to a son, and the mother and son were safe. ”

"Got it!" the other man clicked and hung up.

Zhenhua also hung up the phone and asked Ding Zhiwang, "How much?"

"Six cents. Ding Zhiwang glanced at the telephone.

"It's not a minute, how can you charge me six cents?" Zhenhua frowned.

At this time, five cents can let Zhenhua take a tricycle from Hedong Town to Zhuo Banxiang, and Zhuo Yilan will be in for a while! If Zhenhua goes to Zhuo Banxiang with six cents, in addition to the five cents for the road expenses, you can also spend a dime to buy a lollipop to eat on the road!

"It's not a coincidence that you started playing at 6:335 seconds, and then it was 6:34, count, count...... Two minutes. Ding Zhiwang said.

Your uncle, there is such a calculation!

Zhenhua didn't bother to deal with this kind of treacherous person, so he dropped six cents and turned around and left. He still has to go back to school, and he can't grind his teeth with Ding Zhiwang here for three cents.

Returning from the muddy road, Zhenhua happened to meet the principal Xu Jin.

Xu Jin was a little older, and struggling in this half-foot-deep mud seemed even more laborious and out of breath.

Zhenhua slowed down and chatted with Xu Jin as he walked.

Xu Jin asked, "Zhenhua, did you go as a thief last night?" Why are your eyes black and your eyes bloodshot?"

Zhenhua smiled, "I didn't be a thief, it was Qi Lei's wife who gave birth to a son." Qi Liangfeng, the second uncle of Qi Lei, and I served as door gods in his house, guarding pregnant women and children. I didn't sleep much at night, so my face was ugly. ”

Xu Jin nodded, sighed, and said, "It's all feudal superstition, where can there be any ghosts stealing life? In the past, women were confined, the medical and health conditions were not good, and the mortality rate was very high. The countrymen are superstitious, so they blame the problem on the ghosts!"

Zhenhua also nodded, "That's true, at present, the medical conditions in the countryside still can't keep up." From pregnancy to confinement, Fluttershy never went to the hospital for a check-up. The birth of the child is also at home, looking for a midwife. Fortunately, the mother and son are safe. ”

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Zhou Guoming, the barefoot doctor in Dongwan Village, will also deliver babies, but he is a man, and no one is looking for him to deliver babies!"

Zhenhua laughed.

Indeed, how can a male doctor deliver a pregnant woman? In the future, Zhuo Yilan will definitely not let Zhou Guoming deliver the baby during confinement!

Suddenly there was a voice behind him, "Hey, Principal Xu, Teacher Zhenhua, you guys are talking about people behind your back, aren't you very kind?"

Zhenhua and Xu Jin looked back and found that the village doctor Zhou Guoming was following behind.

Xu Jin smiled: "Fortunately, I didn't say anything bad about you!"

Zhou Guoming said with a smile, "It's okay to say bad things about me, it's a big deal, when you catch a cold in the future, I'll prick you with a needle a little deeper!"

Zhenhua answered, "Don't mention Dr. Zhou, I remember when I was a child, there was a severe flu, I was in your medical room, and I had a summer vacation needle, both buttocks were needle eyes, and it was difficult to walk!"

"You're lucky, two people died in our Dongwan Village that year, remember?" Zhou Guoming said.

"Remember!" Zhenhua nodded.

That year, they had a severe cold and infected each other, and dozens of children in Dongwan Village were lying down. Among them, a child in the second group, and Zhenhua, were in the third grade of primary school, the family was poor and had no money for treatment, and his father boiled a bowl of tobacco soup for him to drink, and then the person was gone.

Zhou Guoming sighed and asked, "Did Qi Lei's wife give birth to a son?" I told Qi Lei that during pregnancy, you should go to the hospital to check and take a look, and it is best to wait for delivery in the township health center. He didn't listen. It's really fortunate that nothing happened this time. It has been raining in the past few days, and if you catch up with dystocia, this inconvenient place will not be sent to the hospital in time, and I am afraid that adults and children will not be able to save it. ”

Zhenhua also felt afraid, nodded and said, "Qi Lei, this bastard, is indeed ...... Bastard, pig head!"

The women in Dongwan Village are all delivered at home during confinement, and presumably Qi Lei did not take this issue seriously.

Zhou Guoming took out a cigarette, gave one to Xu Jin and Zhenhua, and said

"According to my incomplete statistics, in the past 20 years, there have been 12 pregnant women and newborns who have died because of giving birth at home in Dongwan Village. This ratio is very staggering, but everyone still doesn't pay attention to it, it's stupid, alas!"

"Are there so many?" Zhenhua and Xu Jin were surprised.
