Chapter 14 Children are difficult to raise

In the hospital, the nurse washed the baby and carried it into Dongmei's arms. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before Dongmei fed the baby the first mouthful of milk, she first squeezed the *** and squeezed out some light yellow, which looked a little dirty, and poured it out, so that the baby could eat sweet milk.

Due to backwardness and ignorance, the pale yellow, dirty-looking milk is actually human colostrum, and babies will only have immunity and resistance when they eat it, but in the countryside, the first milk is too dirty and poured out.

Dongmei's milk is very vigorous and vigorous, and after the little baby sucks the mother's milk, it stops crying and snuggles greedily in the mother's warm embrace.

The mother-in-law of the woman next door ran to Dongmei's delivery room when she was idle.

Wei Guo's mother was most disgusted by the old woman coming in, because after she came over, she liked to hold Xiujuan's child and watch it non-stop, and she couldn't put it down and kissed a few bites.

Then complained in front of Wei Guo's mother: "Why is the child born by your daughter-in-law so big and her skin so white." Why, the child born to my daughter-in-law is small and yellow?????"

Wei Guo's mother unceremoniously snatched the child from the old woman's hand, and then didn't look at her, and said proudly: "Why, don't you see that my daughter-in-law is tall and white? ”

After speaking, Wei Guo's parents hugged their grandson, watched it lovingly, kissed, smiled, and loved.

And lying on the hospital bed, the weak Dongmei, what she is most looking forward to at this moment is that her husband Wei Guo can appear by her side, look at his lovely son, and then give her son a good-sounding, fashionable, and city-like name.

Wei Guo on the other end stood anxiously in the leader's office, sweating in his palms, expecting the leader to sign his fake note, so that he could return home safely and see his dear wife and lovely children.

With the help of Wang Chaoying, the leader finally approved the leave and stepped on the train to the mainland.

At that time, the mother was not as expensive as the current mother, and she had to stay in the hospital for a long time before being discharged, and Dongmei was discharged two days later.

The brother-in-law and sister-in-law hunched their backs, pulled a farm cart with both hands, and spread a futon on it, and walked to the township hospital, where they came to pick up the sister-in-law from the hospital and go home.

Dongmei got into the manpower cart pulled by her brother-in-law, carefully held the child in her arms, and then took a futon to cover the child and herself.

The little uncle exerted all his strength, kicked his feet back, leaned forward, and slowly pulled forward.

And Weiguo's parents are pushing in the back, and when they encounter a downhill slope, they will pull it in the back to prevent the rack car from rushing downhill.

The little uncle's height is 1.63 meters, black and thin, and his weight is estimated to be no more than 80 pounds.

When he was tired, he changed his sister-in-law to pull it, and the two took turns pulling the frame car.

Finally, at noon, when Tianyang arrived overhead, he rushed home.

Because of his eagerness to go home, for three days and one night on the train, Wei Guo basically didn't sleep much.

He was bent on coming back to see his wife and children before he could rest assured.

After a lot of hardships, he finally returned to his home after a year's absence, opened the curtain of Dongmei's house, and saw Dongmei sitting in the middle of the kang covered with a quilt, the whole person was very bloated, with a white buttoned hat on his head, his hair was a little messy, some dirty, unkempt, fell to his shoulders, his face was red and fluttering, and some swollen.

He saw Dongmei's kind expression, she was holding the baby in her arms, and her eyes were full of love.

Wei Guo dropped the package he was carrying and rushed over.

After Dongmei saw Wei Guo, she also cried happily.

Wei Guo took Dongmei and the little baby building in his arms, couldn't suppress his excitement, and cried with a choked throat.

Although the baby in his arms was very small, he seemed to be able to sense the kindness of his parents, and after hearing the cries of his parents, he also cried.

At night, after Dongmei breastfed the little baby, the little baby fell asleep sweetly, sleeping in the middle of the two, and slept very fragrantly.

Dongmei asked Weiguo in a low voice, "Have you thought of the name for the child?" ”

Wei Guo looked at the little baby like a father, lowered his voice and said, "I have thought about it a long time ago, I didn't tell you everything in the letter, didn't you see it?"

Dongmei put her head on the side of her arm, looked at Wei Guo and said: "The letter hasn't been received yet, you are much faster than the letter, then you hurry up and tell me, or Mom will name the baby, do you know what the name Mom gave the baby......? You don't know how hard it is to listen and how hard it is. ”

Wei Guo laughed, and suddenly covered his mouth with his hand again, for fear that the laughter would wake up the sleeping child, and then whispered: "Those names are not ugly, they can be used as nicknames, listen to the name I gave our baby, Cui Tao, Taozhi, stormy waves, what a beautiful name." ”

Dongmei listened to it and felt not very satisfied, so she expressed her opinion and said: "I thought about it before giving birth to a baby. I like Zhang Yu in "Lushan Love" and Tang Guoqiang in "Little Flower", if you give birth to a girl, you will be called Cui Yu, and if you give birth to a boy, you will be called Cui Guoqiang, what do you think?"

When Wei Guo heard this, he quickly shook his hand and disagreed: "You don't call it a name, it's called idolatry, do you know, a name is a big thing, and you have to think about it carefully." Do you know why I want to make waves for my child?"|

Dongmei shook her head like a rattle and said, "I don't know." ”

Wei Guo confidently explained to Dongmei: "In the past, people named it with three words, but now it is the eighties, how developed, more avant-garde era, now parents name their children with two words, you know foreign men, what are the names of boys Tao Mu (Tom), Ji Ke (Jack), Yu Khan (John) and the like, women are called Karenina, Rose, Julie, etc., how good, so our dolls, boys are called Tao, girls are called Na, Cui Tao, Cui Na, the more I listen, the better it sounds." ”

After speaking, Wei Guo smiled intoxicatedly.

And Dongmei said dissatisfiedly: "You are called Chongyang and charming, but you have some foreign names, which is not good at all." After saying that, Dongmei turned her head and prepared to sleep. And Wei Guo still defended: "This is not called Chongyang flattery, now the people in the city are named like this, if you don't believe it, you can go and inquire." After Wei Guo finished speaking, he didn't have a sleeping posture yet. Instead, Dongmei took a step back and said, "You are a man and the master of our family, so you have the final say." After hearing this, Wei Guo happily hugged Dongmei and kissed him enthusiastically.

For breakfast, Wei Guo's mother took the baby Cui Tao from Dongmei's hand and changed Dongmei to eat.

Because of the milk child, Dongmei is hungry very quickly and eats a lot.

She gulped down the polenta and the pickles on her plate.

Wei Guo's mother held the baby and shook the child to coax the child, and said happily: "The marriage is early, it is better to tie the knot well." ”

Dongmei's mouth was full, and she asked Wei Guo's mother, "Mom, what kind of coincidence are you talking about." ”

Wei Guo's mother proudly explained: "You don't know, Tuwazi, I have played with Wei Guo since I was a child, he got married at the age of twenty, and his mother was so arrogant in front of me at that time, as if I Wei Guo couldn't get married in my life." Although I got married late, my first child was a son, but what about the soil baby, I gave birth to five women, and I haven't given birth to a son yet, so in order to give birth to a son, I am now going to secretly give birth to a sixth son. ”

After speaking, Wei Guo's mother tilted her head and laughed hahaha.

It seems that Wei Guo's mother's words came to Dongmei's heart, and he didn't expect that he would be so lucky, the first child could give birth to a boy, and the second child, don't care, whether it is male or female.

But if the first child is a woman, the second child has to give birth to a son, otherwise he has to continue to give birth to a son (it can be seen that the idea of preference for sons over daughters in the countryside at that time was not ordinary).

Wei Guo's mother continued: "Do you know, yesterday afternoon when I came back from the field, I passed by the door of Tuwazi's house, his mother led three granddaughters to play outside, and when I walked over, I deliberately said in front of her, my daughter-in-law just gave birth and gave birth to a son, what a coincidence." As soon as I finished saying this, Tuwazi's mother led several granddaughters into the house. ”

After Wei Guo left, Dongmei took the child alone, and her mother-in-law would come to help Dongmei take care of the child after she was busy with farm work.

Carrying a half-grown baby is extremely tiring, and Dongmei even feels more tired than doing farm work.

Little babies are hungry very quickly, and they cry when they are hungry day and night, especially at night, and they have to get up every two or three hours to feed their little babies.

After the baby has eaten enough, the cute falls asleep.

But Dongmei has to worry about taking care of the baby, pee for a while, change the diaper, pull for a while, change the diaper, and from time to time dial the baby's head, can't let the head always pillow in one place, because when the baby is young, the skull has not completely healed, if you don't change the place, after a long time, the head will sleep unevenly.

In this way, taking care of the baby day and night, Dongmei's tired head is dizzy, and sometimes he can't tell the difference between day and night.

That afternoon, while the baby was asleep, Dongmei quickly got out of bed, combed her hair in the mirror, and then put on her coat and walked out the door.

I don't know what's going on, since I breastfed the child, Dongmei felt that she was very hungry, just after eating, it didn't take long for her stomach to growl, and her mouth was still hungry, just wanting to eat something delicious.

At this time, Wei Guo's mother, who was in front of the yard, heard that there was a vendor pulling a cart in front of the door, selling tomatoes and cucumbers along the road, so she walked out.

She stopped the peddler, took out a handkerchief from the pocket of her underwear, and then opened the handkerchief, which was wrapped in a few dollars, she counted it twice, took out a few cents of it, and bought four tomatoes, thinking that Wei Guo's father was one, she was one, her sister-in-law was one, and her brother-in-law was one, and there was just one delicious tomato for each person.

In her heart, although Dongmei is already the mother of her grandson and her own family, she does not love Dongmei as her own child, she feels that her daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law after all, and she can't compare with her own child no matter what.

She picked up the old cloth clothes she wore on her body, put four tomatoes in one pocket and entered the door, walked into the stove room, washed the tomatoes in the water urn, and then came out of the stove room lightly, and stuffed the tomatoes into everyone's hands one by one, for fear that Dongmei would hear her footsteps and see her distributing tomatoes to everyone.

But this scene happened to be seen by Dong Mei, who had just come out of the house, in that era when food was scarce and there were no snacks, a bright red tomato was more delicious than anything, and it was ** people.

Dongmei saw the big and red tomatoes, and her greedy saliva flowed out, she wanted to walk forward quickly, and asked for a bright red tomato from her mother-in-law's hand to eat, but she saw that her mother-in-law had already divided the only few tomatoes one by one.

She retracted the steps of selling and quickly retreated to her own house, for fear that her mother-in-law would see her.

She sat sadly on the edge of the kang, looking at the baby in swaddling clothes, tears shining in her eyes.

This is not the first time she has seen her mother-in-law carrying her on her back and secretly eating valuable and delicious things with her family.

Although she is from Yinjia Village, she is now the daughter-in-law of your Cui family, Cui Tao's mother, and her mother-in-law still treats her like an outsider, while her husband is thousands of miles away, invisible and intangible, the more she thinks about it, the more uncomfortable she feels, and she can't help but leave sad tears.

After the baby is full moon, as he grows up and becomes heavier, not only does it not become easier to take care of, but it becomes more and more difficult to take care of.

The baby is very naughty, as long as he wakes up, he must be held by his mother, so that he does not cry, after a while, the mother can't hold it, he must hold it, while walking, while shaking, he does not cry.

He is naughty at the same time, but also very smart, he can not only accurately identify his mother, but also can hear others cheering his name, as long as someone calls Cui Tao, his head is like a rattle, turning around, staring at the person who shouted him with big and round eyes.

On this day, Dongmei, who was holding the baby and shaking and walking, saw the baby slowly closing her eyes, thinking that it was not easy, and finally fell asleep, you are almost tired of your mother, you know.

After the baby completely closed his eyes, Dongmei slowly took the baby out of her arms and carefully put it on the kang.

But as everyone knows, as soon as the baby's buttocks touched the quilt, he cried out, as if his mother was going to throw him away.

Dongmei felt sorry for the child, and took the child into her arms again, shaking him, while looking at him lovingly and saying, "Little baby, good child, obedient, sleep." ”

That night, Dongmei didn't lie down in the bed to sleep for a moment, she just held her child like this, sat on the kang, backed by the cold wall, and held her lovely child in her arms for a whole night.
