Chapter 355: Becoming a Father

The Apple Building was completed at the beginning of June this year, but the finishing work took more than two months, and more than a month ago, it could not be regarded as an opening, but according to the previous agreement, the allocation of area began.

He was busy with this matter during this time, and also went to other places, until after Wang Ying produced, he went to the city, and the toothpaste factory was built on the outskirts of the county, next to the original tile factory and the current ceramic factory.

With an investment of 50,000 yuan, it is expected to produce 5,000 toothpastes per day and 1.8 million toothpastes per year, but the profit of each toothpaste is only eight cents. The wholesale price is two cents, and the retail price is a little more than three cents.

The annual profit is more than 100,000 yuan, which can only be said to be a small factory, he does not retail himself, and the plan is to wholesale it all. The name of toothpaste is Chinese toothpaste, and in the nineties, Chinese toothpaste was sold to foreigners, and it is no longer considered domestic.

Now he can get about 100,000 yuan from garment factories, about 40,000 cement factories, about 50,000 honeycomb coal factories, about 150,000 coal mines, about 20,000 floor slabs, and about 40,000 from the Ministry of Transportation. The total annual profit is about 400,000.

But this year, I can only get about 200,000 yuan, and the fixed assets are about 100,000 yuan.

And he went to ask about the equipment for the production of "sanitary napkins" and the construction of factories, etc., and he was dumbfounded that he had to invest millions of dollars. At present, this thing cannot be bought in China, and it is only sold in Xiangjiang.

The market in the county is too small, even in the city, if you want to earn more money, you have to develop to the province, but now you can't leave, and the funds are insufficient, so let's wait, wait for the child to be born.

Next year, 1985, will also be a turning point, because it will be next year that the people's commune will be completely abolished, and the word commune will become history.

The sky gradually darkened, the weather in November was a little cooler, the family was talking in the hall, the two girls were already in the third grade, and their grades were much better than before, but they were only average, enough.

The faces of the parents have not changed much, and they are a little younger than before. The eldest sister has moved to a new building, not far from the floor factory, and very close to the town, and is currently just taking Dabao and Xiaobao, because they are twins, it is also troublesome to take care of, so the eldest sister has not mentioned it for the time being.

In her free time, the eldest sister will also take the two children here to stay for a while.

Time flies, time flies, time is like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it is another year, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve is on February 19, just after the first day of the new year, he took Li Yulan to the county, because the due date, there are still about ten days, can not be delayed.

As for other village women to give birth, if the situation is urgent, you can find a coal mine truck to pull to the town, if not in a hurry, generally use a bamboo car to pull to the town, in fact, pregnant women before giving birth, they have a feeling, the local commonly known as "for the sake of the sake", as long as it is for the sake of it, it means that it is about to give birth.

Although the conditions are relatively simple, because women nowadays are strong and often work, it is easy to give birth naturally, and with the first child, then the second child is simple.

Even so, Fang Dajun was also ready for caesarean delivery, before giving birth, he still didn't know if it was a boy or a girl, and there were no conditions for a B-ultrasound, let alone color ultrasound or the like.

This is already his second child, Wang Ying's daughter Wang Mengjun who gave birth to him, is almost five months old, but he was out of town at the time, and he didn't catch up with the time of childbirth, and he was born when he came back.

But this time it was different, he waited anxiously outside the operating room, and all the family members on both sides arrived.

It's still very fast, but in half an hour, the child was successfully delivered, but it was still a baby girl, Fang Dajun said that he was not disappointed, it was fake, but he didn't show it on his face, but he was still young, and he was still young.

He occupies a large ward, with four beds and a bathroom, and according to current standards, after a normal delivery, he can be discharged from the hospital at most the next day, and even after giving birth in the morning, the woman herself will be discharged in the afternoon with the child in her arms. But he asked to stay in the hospital for a week so as not to fall ill with any confinement disease.

It is quite hard for a woman to do confinement, and it is popular in the local area for 40 days, you can't blow cold wind, try to close the window, you can't wash your hair, you can't take a bath, and you have to wear a hat on your head, wear thick clothes, try not to go out of the room, and lie in bed.

This means that you can't get sick when you are confined, and you can't suffer from the cold, otherwise you will fall into the root of the disease and can't be cured for a lifetime, in fact, this is superstition, and later generations have been confirmed many times that there is no science, but the current situation is like this.

Not only that, but when you are in confinement, you have to eat violently, and even pay attention to what you eat, first of all, you can't eat chili peppers, which is uncomfortable enough for Sichuan people.

Then you can't eat stir-fry, just stew, or soup. And you can't put peppercorns and other seasonings, and you can only put a little salt in the soup.

According to Li Yulan's later recollections, as soon as she woke up in the morning, four mash eggs were sent to the bedside, and the sky was not yet bright at this time. Well, at noon, it was the stewed old hen, and in the middle of the afternoon, there were four more mash eggs. At night, it was a soup with green vegetables and pork slices, and before going to bed, it was four more mash eggs.

In a month, forty days later, ten pounds of meat can grow.

The staple foods are: eggs, chicken, pig's trotters, green vegetable leaves, sliced meat, rice, and mash.

Don't exaggerate, some village women can eat thousands of eggs in a month, and for now, women can only eat well and rest well when they are confined.

Women will not feel that they are suffering from confinement, but in contrast, women will be far better than summer when they are confined in winter, because winter is already cold, and it is just warm to lie in bed every day, and it is not so uncomfortable not to take a bath, because there will be no sweat. But summer is a tragedy, even if the weather is hot, you can't blow the wind, and you have to wear a hat.

Conversely, if a child is born in winter, it is not as good as summer. Because the child itself does not produce warmth, it is not convenient to take a bath. In the summer, it is simpler, with less clothing and convenient bathing.

"Dajun, it's a daughter." Li Yulan was lying on the bed, a little haggard, more disappointed, and worried.

Fang Dajun naturally comforted: "It's okay, my daughter is my daughter, I like it as much." ”

At this time, the little one was lying on the bed next to him, and the mother was also half-snuggled on the bed, holding the child in her arms so that the child would not freeze.

And my father has already gone back to the village first, because he is going to bury the "placenta", which is commonly known locally as "Yihu", which is called "Zihe Che", this thing, which has been scientifically confirmed, is a great tonic, and it is rumored that the so-called elixir of life in ancient times is this thing.

And many people also believe this, and many people come to the hospital to find placenta to eat, not only for the elderly, but also for children. But this thing doesn't seem very good, because the placenta is also the meat that falls from the human body.

If a pregnant woman does not propose to dispose of the placenta after delivery, then most likely, the placenta will go to someone else's belly, and some doctors will also have a monopoly sales channel.

Therefore, the father Fang Donghua will bring the placenta to the village to bury, the local will not only bury the placenta of the person, but also the placenta of the piglet will also be buried in the "sky burial", probably with a bamboo pocket to put the placenta of the piglet in it, and then cover it with straw, carry it to the mountain, find a big tree, hang this thing on it, let the placenta dry and graceful, in this way, some superstition, to the effect that this baby pig can thrive.

The same is true of the placenta that is deeply buried in people, and superstition can make the placenta grow up healthily.

Fang Dajun can be regarded as following the customs, even if he doesn't believe it, he thinks it should be buried.

The daughter's name is also set, it is called "Fang Yue", the homonym is "music, the moon, the ......", even if it represents festivity, it also represents the little moon, and he also means as a traverser, the nickname is called Yue'er, which is also smooth.

Xiao Yue'er, only two or three hours after she was born, she knew that she was looking for milk to eat, her eyes had not yet opened, it usually took two or three days, her little face was also wrinkled, and there were remnants brought out of her mother's womb on her body, which had to be washed many times before she could be washed slowly, and there was a piece of green on her little buttocks and back, not a birthmark, and when she was two or three years old, the position of cyan would become normal.

Now there is really no milk powder, and I haven't seen a milk bottle, if a pregnant woman does not produce milk, then use rice milk and rice soup to feed, and it is not the same as growing healthy and healthy, but the medical conditions are limited after all, and occasionally there will be premature death.

Therefore, Fang Dajun has also attracted attention, and he is not unable to afford it, even if he has more births, he is not allowed to have a situation.

Li Yulan is in good health, milk. The water is also sufficient, after all, the child has just been born, and he is generally full after drinking about 30 ml, and then he falls asleep, but it is a little troublesome, and the child is hungry quickly, and he will eat milk every three hours.

And it excretes quickly, so it is necessary to change diapers frequently, this is also particular, the old clothes of the elders in the family are better, and diapers are still a legendary thing.

But just changing diapers is not enough, because the baby's skin is tender, so you have to wash your butt once you are pulled, if it's just like this, it's okay, no matter how the baby takes care of it, there will always be a time to cry.

Anyway, Fang Dajun didn't sleep well that night, even if he was not the main caretaker, he was also tossed a lot, and the next day, he had to arrange a bath again, once a day, and it was super troublesome to take a bath, and the baby wore a lot of clothes in winter, and he wore four pieces of clothes alone, and it was inconvenient to take off his clothes and put on clothes, and there was no air conditioning, and he was afraid that the child would catch a cold.

Wang Ying's side, when he went, he had missed the most troublesome days at the beginning, and he didn't feel it, but now he finally knows that it is not easy to be a father, and it is even more difficult to be a mother and a grandmother, and he finally knows why the salary of the confinement lady will rise all the way, so high that it exceeds the salary of white-collar workers.

Basically, you can't eat well or sleep well with children.

Hospitalized for a week, it is not enough to take care of his wife and children, but also to greet guests, many people came, so many that he couldn't even enter the door, put down the red envelopes and gifts and left, and even asked for a ward to rent gifts.

also because he stuffed a lot of red envelopes into the hospital, so he had a green light all the way, and at the same time, there were other families giving birth, and he was surprised to see this movement.

After a week, Xiao Yue'er had already opened her eyes, but the distance that the baby could see was not far, estimated to be about two meters, basically her eyes were moving, and her whole little body was wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Later, he consulted his family, did not stay in the county, but returned to the rural area of Jiaoshan, he did not talk about shops in the county, there were many houses alone, but his family was not used to living in it.

Whether it's going back to the countryside or doing confinement, it's actually really easier to clean up than in the city.

Fang Dajun stayed at home for ten days, and then went out, the full moon wine was set for half a month, and it was estimated that there would be more than three hundred tables at that time, and it was a tossing thing, and it was lively, but because of trouble.

Now he is also a father of two children, with a pair of daughters, he has matured a lot, but his dedication is also stronger, and he is no longer satisfied with tossing in the county.

Maybe one day he will feel tired and come back to this piece to live a leisurely life of farming, but not now, because there are some things that need to be experienced, so that life will be wonderful, and when he is old, he will not leave regrets.

"Jin Chi, you come with me to the county, stay by my side to help in the future, just leave the cement factory to others." When passing by the cement factory, he stayed behind and talked to Jinchi about things.

Jin Chi had already come to see Li Yulan several times, but because he was busy, he went to work again.

Jin Chi is twenty-seven years old this year, twenty-eight years old, she is a mature woman, she has never talked about friends, let alone married, in the past two years, the two have been in an ambiguous relationship, and they only hold hands sometimes.

In the spring of 1985, the reform and opening up also ushered in the spring, and he also became a real man, with a height of 1.78 meters, 1.8 meters when he put on shoes, his body was straight, his shoulders were wide and his body was broad, his face was masculine and handsome, and he left some green beard on the side of his chin.

At this time, he lowered his head slightly, looking at Jin Chi, who once needed to be level-eyed, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little more aggressive, as well as a burning sensation, and that gaze seemed to hurt people.

"What am I going to do with you, I'm so busy here, I'm going, who will I give the job to?" Jin Chi didn't seem to dare to look at his eyes, and twisted his head to the side slightly.

"You can leave it to anyone, anyway, you have to go with me, and Xiao Xia will go with you." Fang Dajun said domineeringly.

As a result, as soon as these words fell, Jin Chi immediately turned his head and asked with an unkind gaze; "What are you taking Xiao Xia for here?"

"Hehe, of course it's to take over your shift, I plan to integrate the current business, unify it by you, take care of the finances for me, and then let Xiao Xia take over, and then you go to the province with me."

"What are you doing in the province?" Jin Chi asked puzzled.

Fang Dajun was silent for a while, and then he spoke: "You are not young anymore, and I have figured it out in the past two years." When you get to the province, I'll give you a name. ”

"What? What do you mean? Jin Chi's eyes changed suddenly, and he didn't know what he was expressing.

"Of course it's to take you, I can't watch you get older day by day, or marry someone else one day, I fell in love with Yulan and you at the beginning, and now I have the conditions, I don't want to miss either of them." As he spoke, he took Jin Chi into his arms.

I have hugged it a few times before, but it has not been successful, but this time it has been, Jin Chi did not struggle, and after a while, he said softly: "What about Yulan?" Did you come to me because she gave birth to a daughter? ”

Fang Dajun was suddenly angry, patted Jin Chi's buttocks, and shouted: "What do you think, our army is looking for a child, as long as the wind is released, the people in line can at least go to the new field, you think like this, I'm going to be angry." ”

"Okay, I'll just tell you, I know you're not that kind of person, but Yulan is there." Jin Chi has actually made a promise a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have talked about friends until now, a twenty-eight-year-old unmarried woman, in Beidou can be counted with both hands, and she is the only one with excellent conditions like Jin Chi.

If Jin Chi wants to get married, maybe the number of people in line will exceed the number that Fang Dajun just said.

"Yulan, I will explain, I am afraid of other people's rumors, so I want to arrange for you to go to the province, and no one knows us there, and I do want to expand the business in the province, you go to help me, and I can't leave the work." Fang Dajun said honestly, Li Yulan is really a good wife, but at work, Jin Chi is a virtuous helper.

"Yes!" Jin Chi replied softly, and it was considered an agreement.

The relationship between the two is not vigorous, but after nearly three years of getting along, it has already come to fruition, but if Fang Dajun does not propose it, I am afraid that in the end, it will still be diluted by time, maybe Jin Chi will not marry for the rest of his life, or maybe he will find someone to marry due to age pressure.

But none of these can appear in the future, Jin Chi is his woman, and since he has crossed over, he doesn't want to leave regrets in his life.

It is impossible to say that he will leave, he has more business now, he has made more money, and the arrears have been cleared, there is no need to embezzle the money of the cement factory, and there is no need to find support funds for the cement plant at any time, so he gave up the power and let Yang Zhongjian become the factory director, and the logistics are also planned to be given to others. He didn't interfere, and finally let the factory decide who to use.

And Jin Chi first handed over the work to several statisticians, as well as Yang Zhongjian, and delayed for two days, and then followed him to the county. And Fang Dajun has already taken the first step to take Xiao Xia away in the garment factory, and the person who replaced him is Xiao Zhonghu, that's right, this kid has worked hard for two years, and he has become an all-rounder, and his work in accounting is also first-class, and he got along with a female worker in clothing, so Fang Dajun arranged for it, good things come in pairs, Huzi is also a person he can trust, although he is very slippery, but his loyalty to him is quite high, which he is confident that he will not look at the wrong person.

In addition, Thin Monkey, Fang Minggen, Fang Dongjian, Qin Er, Dumb, Niu Daman and others have also become talents who can stand alone, sharing and managing his business for him, and he has also made his brothers make a lot of money, although it is less than him, but compared to the cadres, it can be thrown out of N streets.

Qian Quan, this is mutual, so he still serves as the deputy director of the ceramic factory, and also serves as the director of the county department store.

In 1985, it officially kicked off, and after sorting out the county's business, he would go to the province, and he also wanted to find his parents in his previous life, if he followed the original trajectory, he in his previous life would be born in three months.
