Chapter 17: Birth

Tired of playing, Su Qier and Sun Hao sat on the beach to rest, and the warm sand released the heat of the sun absorbed during the day from the ground, which was very comfortable.

Sun Hao was lying on the beach, looking up at the starry sky, the wind was blowing gently, that feeling was really cool, Su Qi'er lay down next to Sun Hao, looking from a distance, the two of them were like a couple.

Su Qier held her head with her hand, looked at Sun Hao, and said, "Sun Hao, I don't know why, I think you are a person with a story, you work so hard, is your family very poor, and you want to subsidize the family?" ”

Sun Hao let out a sigh of relief and said, "I don't have a home anymore." ”

As soon as these words came out, Su Qi'er was very shocked and muttered, "You are an orphan? ”

Sun Hao's eyes were a little moist, and he said: "It's a long story, in the early eighties of the twentieth century, on a night when the sun and moon were not seen, and the stars were not seen, the wind became more and more ferocious like chicken blood, and the violent madness ravaged the Central Henan Plain, as if to raze the entire Central Henan Plain;

I don't know when, it actually rained heavily in the dark night sky, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was a momentum of annihilating Sunjiatun!

At the time of this storm sweeping through Sunjiatun, the mother-in-law of the old grandson of Sunjiatun had been struggling on the bed for a whole day, and the midwife with a wrinkled face was waiting a little impatiently, and the old grandson who was standing outside the door was even more anxious to stomp his feet, and the old grandson with a tight brow was not only worried about his mother-in-law, but also worried about whether the baby in her mother-in-law's belly was not a bastard, and it was no wonder that the old grandson. As the saying goes, unfilial piety is the greatest, not to mention that the old grandson's family has been passed down for several generations, and in his generation, he doesn't want to cut off the incense. You must know that his mother-in-law has given birth to four daughters for him in a row, and seeing that the Sun family is about to be broken, can the old grandson not be in a hurry?

Although China has opened its doors, the feudal mentality of patriarchy is still very strict in some places, and if he does not have a son, not only will his old grandson not be able to raise his head, but the neighbors will poke his backbone and scold him for being a desperate head.

So, you say, can his old grandson not worry? But no matter how worried he is, he can't give birth to a son for his mother-in-law.

When the old grandson's heart was in turmoil and his heart was extremely uneasy, a baby boy's cry pierced the night sky of Sunjiatun, and in the dark night when he couldn't see his fingers, the baby's cry resounded throughout Sunjiatun, not only the old grandson's heart pinched, but the right hand holding the cigarette pot couldn't help but tremble, and even the old dog who guarded the door of the old man's house trembled.

The raging winds, the drifting rain, and the cries of babies piercing the night sky form a unique scenery in the night.

At this time, every family in Sunjiatun closed their doors to thank customers, and the wind blew and it rained heavily at night, so these countrymen went to bed early.

It's not that rural people don't know how to relax, in China in the eighties of the twentieth century, the entire Chinese economy has just started, even if it is a big city like B city and S city, it looks dilapidated, not to mention a poor small village in the central and western regions, the rural economic conditions in the central Henan Plain are very poor, electricity can not be supplied normally, and the radio cannot guarantee that every household has it, let alone watch television, so these honest farmers have rested early.

With a creak, the wooden door of Sun Laohan's house, which had been mottled but still very strong, was opened, and the midwife's face smiled like a flower.

Lao Suntou's heart tugged at his throat, this old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of time, he knew that the result was out, whether it was a man or a woman, he had been looking forward to it for a long time, but he didn't have the courage to ask.

The midwife said, "Old grandson, congratulations, your mother-in-law gave birth to a bastard."

When the old grandson heard the midwife say that his mother-in-law gave birth to a son for him, it happened to be lightning and thunder in the dark night sky, and I don't know if he was frightened by the thunder, or because the old grandson was too excited, or he was too excited, the old grandson's body fell to the ground without obeying the call.

The midwife did not show the slightest panic, walked forward and gently pinched the old grandson's head with her hand, and the old grandson who was in a trance stood up from the ground all of a sudden, and rushed directly into the inner room without even saying hello to the midwife!

Son, son, I have a son! Poor man, pathetic feudal dross!

Maybe he is really fed up with the white eyes of his neighbors on weekdays, and he can't raise his head in front of his neighbors every day, when the old grandson knows that his mother-in-law gave birth to a son for him, he becomes very excited, and he is so excited that he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to the mother-in-law who has just experienced a painful childbirth, and his mind is full of his own son!

Pathetic, alas! The midwife has not had time to tell the old grandson, his mother-in-law is too hard to give birth because of her age, the most important thing is that the conditions for the midwife are too poor, and the midwife does not have the corresponding midwife, the old man's mother-in-law died, just when she tried her best to give birth to her son and complete the dream of the old grandson to inherit the ancestry, when she heard her son crying on the ground, the woman closed her eyes forever, and there was an elusive smile on her face, but, But her heart is bitter!

Indeed, as a woman, living in a place where feudal thinking is still stubborn, they have almost become a tool for family inheritance, women are not half the sky, but only a tool for inheritance (I believe that this is not only the sorrow of women, but also the sorrow of this world, the good news is that China has changed a lot in this regard!). )。

Holding his son, how happy the old grandson was, he was already smiling from ear to ear, yes, I have been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally looking forward to today, from now on, I can also walk with my waist straight, no one in Sun Jiatun dares to say that he is the head of the household!

Desperate, hum! A disgusting word, just for these three words, the old grandson forced his mother-in-law into the eighteenth layer of hell, a life is not a normal end, but died of dystocia!

Gently put his baby son into the solid wood cradle made by himself, then he thought of something, hurriedly went out of the house, and the midwife sat in the living room of the Sun family like a person who was kind to the old grandson.

Seeing that the old grandson's family is very poor, but the house is quite magnificent, and at a glance, I know that this ancestor should be a prestigious family.

On the middle wall of the living room hangs a portrait of Chairman Mao, the yellowed drawing paper, and you can tell at a glance that this portrait has been some years old. In the middle of the living room, against the wall, there is a table, and a chair is placed on the left and right sides of the table.

The old grandson rummaged through the cabinets, looked for a long time, turned out a plate of broad beans, two hard-boiled eggs, half a catty of old white dry wine, put these things that he was reluctant to eat on weekdays in front of the midwife, and then helped the midwife pack a bag of good dry tobacco.

Yi took a sip of soju, ate a few broad beans, the old grandson helped her light the dry tobacco, and the midwife smoked two puffs of dry tobacco, squinting her eyes and enjoying it.

The old grandson poured a full bottle of wine, brought it to the midwife's hand, and said, come, have another drink!

The midwife tilted her neck and drank the soju in the cup, and her originally black and shiny face turned a little red, of course, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all, because Yi's black complexion almost completely concealed its existence. At this time, Yi actually spoke, old grandson, your son is there, but your mother-in-law has returned to the West!

Hearing the words of his mother-in-law returning to the west, the old grandson rolled his eyes, a pair of withered hands shook a few times, choked a few times, and fell down all of a sudden!
