When the child fell to the ground, all of us, my parents, mother-in-law, including Hua Jun, Shi Shuliang, Mei Quntao, all the hearts that flew into the sky fell into the deep valley in an instant. Our child actually only has one leg. I thought that Xia Qiu was also small enough to accommodate twins, but I didn't expect her to be able to accommodate a single child, so he lost a leg. The delivery room was originally a place of celebration, a place where all the little lives drove into the world on Noah's Ark, and when they saw that the newborn had only one leg, even the doctors and nurses were bitter and at a loss. I'm confident that I'm okay, I'm healthy, and I can't have only one leg, otherwise he wouldn't be able to run so fast, stand out from thousands of siblings, and become a billet tire. It must be Xia Qiu's egg that is missing a leg. She had used so many drugs and had been poisoned all over her body, and it was not surprising that her egg was missing a leg.

When Xia Qiu also learned that not only did he not give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, but gave birth to a golden rooster independence, he fainted in fright. I was so scared that I wanted to cry, not for my son, but for her. I knew she would wake up crying, and it was a terrible thing. Pregnant women can't cry, they can cry blind.

However, Xia Qiu also didn't cry after waking up, not even a single tear was shed. When her son's wrinkled little face was close to her breasts and room, and he opened his small mouth, no need to teach, he was born to suck milk, Xia Qiu also hugged him tightly, his eyes were calm and firm, and my heart throbbed. I ran out of the room and cried loudly at the end of the hallway, crying for a long time, and the joy of being a father was lost because of the birth of my son.

There were quite a few people who advised us to give up this child. To keep him is not to love him, but to harm him, but also to harm ourselves. In today's era when the able-bodied people are living fiercely, how difficult will life be for a disabled person? How many fittest people are there among the able-bodied! Xia Qiu and I also asked them, how to give up? Kill him? Want us to go to jail? Lost him? Surrender this heavy burden of him to the state? We have no choice. Since we gave birth to him, we have to be responsible for his life. We named him Lili, hoping that he would be like a man with legs, standing upright, standing firm, and being an upright person.

At the time of birth, the country had already implemented a family planning policy – a one-child policy that a couple could only have one child. We can have a second child, and the policy stipulates that if the first child is not sound, we can have a second child. Xia Qiu and I also reached a consensus that we would not give birth, and we would leave all our love, money, and energy to Lili and not let his younger brother or sister share it. Lili is like a child-giving Guanyin, since giving birth to him, Xia Qiu is also like a problem teenager's belly to change his ways, he refuses to be a gangster anymore, and he is pregnant twice, and he has an abortion. In order not to hurt her again, I had to castrate myself - a minor operation on my crotch.

Lili's growth was difficult and sad. I couldn't walk all my childhood, and I couldn't let him sit in a cart forever, but I didn't even have a small crutch to buy. Xia Qiu also gave full play to her expertise in male work and made a small walking stick for Lili. We always took him to the amusement park before he was a schooler, and he couldn't get close to him except for the amusement equipment that he could sit and play. Whenever this happens, he always stands on a small cane, leaning aside, staring at his peers who are jumping around stupidly, and the helplessness in his little eyes makes our hearts ache. When he reached the age of enrollment, some schools refused to accept him and suggested that he enter a special education school. We categorically refuse. After that, Lili entered the best quality primary school in the city, which was entered through the back door, and Mei Quntao's mother-in-law was the principal of that school. The school is far away from our home, and I ride my bicycle every day to pick up and drop off at dawn and dusk. Xia Qiu also always rushed with me to send Lili. She always couldn't snatch me, and Lili was very proud that we rushed to send him to school.

Once sent to Lili, I met Feng Meimei, who had not seen her for nearly 20 years, at the school gate. She looks like she has a moist life, her face is full of red light, and she has grown a lot less gray hair since she was a girl, and she doesn't know if she has dyed her hair, and the years have not given her the vicissitudes of life to give her richness.

Although we haven't seen each other for nearly 20 years, we know about her situation. She went into the pharmaceutical factory, which had our classmates.

After she entered the factory, she fell in love with the students who entered the factory at the same time. Students can fall in love, but they are not allowed to get married, and they are only allowed to get a marriage certificate after three years of regularization. But her belly is big, this thing is very strange, we in the same queue group can't figure it out, we all know that she is infertile, why the suddenly lays eggs. Later, through understanding, I learned that after she entered the factory, she had publicly-funded medical treatment, went to the hospital for surgery, and the doctor opened her closed bedroom door with a scalpel. Because the policy did not allow it, she did not get married, but was punished, and the punishment was double, one for both men and women. But the child in her womb was not punished, and it was natural for her to become an adult. She did not marry her son, but she worshipped the church with eight eyes. When she was able to get married, she was pregnant with her second child. held a wedding with his son with a big belly, and gave birth to a daughter after marriage. After that, his husband left his job without pay and went to the sea to do business, and the business was booming. No one knows exactly what kind of business to do, only heard that it is to make chemical products. Feng Meimei has now resigned and become a full-time wife. She didn't take the college entrance examination when she resumed the college entrance examination, she was taking her children and going to work again, and she was so busy that she had neither the effort nor the heart to take the college entrance examination. Now that the hardships are exhausted, there is no need to do anything, just enjoy the blessings at home. I just can't figure out that a pharmaceutical factory worker can make a fortune making chemical products, which makes me, a chemistry graduate, lose face. Although I entered the Pharmaceutical Research Institute, I still wore a small black hat on my head, and I was still a salaryman, and I had to save money to put on prosthetic limbs, marry a daughter-in-law, and buy a house when I grew up. At that time, my unit had not allocated me a car, but I rode a bicycle to send my son, but later the unit allocated me a car, and I did not dare to use the bus for private use. She was proud and proud, and opened the crown. She doesn't have to work anymore, she has prosperity and wealth, but I don't have the ability to let Xia Qiu also raise it at home. My inferiority complex is not limited to this, although my son is in the first grade, he can't make soy sauce, we never let him do the work of running away, and Feng Meimei's son is in junior high school.

I had just returned from a business trip that day and was going to work tomorrow. Feng Meimei saw me, held my hand tightly with both hands, and shook it for a long time. I waited for her to shake enough, and asked her:

"Your daughter is at this school too?"

She laughed and replied, "Yes, it's sixth grade." Your son is here too? ”

I said, "Yes, first grade." ”

The corners of Feng Meimei's mouth pulled down silently, I understand the double meaning of the pull-down; One, contempt. Second, schadenfreude. A classmate from the pharmaceutical factory once told me and Xia Qiu that Feng Meimei's opposing evaluation was:

"Hey! I only heard that people have bad eyes and have no fart or eyes when they have children, and I haven't heard of anyone who has a child and lacks a leg. ”

I laughed when I heard it, but Xia Qiu also cried, crying very sadly. This was the first time she shed tears for Lili.

She invited me to a "foot bath". I said my feet were showered last night and should still be clean by now

The corners of her mouth began to pull down again after listening to my words, and she said:

"Corny! I don't even understand 'foot bath'! People like you deserve to mix in officialdom? You are a countryman on Chang'an Street. ”

Because I was free that day, and because Feng Meimei was now Mrs. Kuo, she had a lot of money, and she would never be interested in me anymore and make some dazzling troubles, but also because after all, she was an old classmate who hadn't seen her for 20 years, although I was haunted by her vicious attack on my family of three, but I didn't like to hold grudges, especially women, so I agreed to her invitation to "foot bath".

As the name suggests, "foot bath" means to wash feet. This kind of work that I have to do every night before going to bed, now I have entered the room and sprinkled a lot of toilet water, which has given me a long insight. The "foot bath" shop we entered was very large, resplendent and brilliant, not a small shop in the streets and alleys, with color and taste.

After the "foot bath", Feng Meimei had to invite guests to dinner again. My son and her daughter both have a small dinner table at noon, and we both have free mouths at noon, and I know that if she wants to set up music, she has the right to pick up money.

At the dinner table, in the middle of the entertainment, Feng Meimei asked me:

"Why haven't you divorced yet?"

It's a strange question, and only a performative personality like her can ask it. I say:

"Why should I get a divorce? Isn't it time for everyone to get a divorce? Then why don't you get a divorce? ”

"Xia Qiu is also ugly like that, you can't give birth to a good child, you should have divorced a long time ago. With your conditions, civil servants, with a black gauze hat on top, another talent, it is not a problem to find a yellow flower girl again. Do you want me to be a matchmaker, and re-protect the media for you. Maybe after a year and a half, you will hold a big fat boy again, and you will still be healthy. ”

I said, "It was because I didn't want to hold a second big fat boy that we got the family planning certificate." Xia Qiu is not unable to give birth, after she gave birth to a son, she was pregnant with a second pregnancy, not a miscarriage, we have already had two children just like you. ”

Feng Meimei heard me say this, and the corners of her mouth pulled down like a crying face:

"Humph! Xia Qiu is also giving birth to her second child, and I'm sure she still can't give birth to a healthy child. Her body is like the gas chambers of Auschwitz, and no matter how good she is planted in it, there will be problems. ”

"Is it okay for your mouth to accumulate some virtue? There will be retribution. You hate Xia Qiuyi so much? She has been defending you in such a big situation. Do you hate her for getting in your way? I'm not as capable as your husband. You've found the right person. You should thank Xia Qiuyi. I'm a little tired of saying this, as if I'm not married to Xia Qiuyi, I'm sure I'll be with you. To tell you the truth, I don't have Xia Qiuyi, and I won't marry you. It is your husband who will marry you. Husbands and wives must have something in common, not the same person, don't enter the door! I'm not the same person with you. ”
