Chapter 2 A Dream for Fifty Years 2
If nothing changes, she will stay in the delivery room for an hour or so. Fifty years ago, she naively thought that the baby would come out on its own when she entered the delivery room, but only later did she realize how ignorant she was at that time.
Fifty years, everything is progressing. In later generations, all kinds of pregnancy knowledge were popularized, and various channels were instilled and learned, and having a child was no longer a matter of talking about it. But fifty years ago, I was so naΓ―ve or simply ignorant. I went into the delivery room and changed to a strange delivery bed, and I had to continue to suffer and fear.
The delivery room was the same as she remembered, only much more empty than the ward. There are four delivery beds, and the mothers separated by one delivery bed did not intersect with Liu Hong back then. Now that Liu Hong didn't think so, she turned her head and asked.
"Hey, are you asleep, talk, it's scary to lie here alone. β
"Well, where can I sleep, I just wanted to talk to you, and I saw that your stomach was full of worries. I don't know what to say. β
"I don't know if I have a son or a daughter in my belly. Doesn't your stomach hurt, why didn't I hear you call?"
"Does calling help, but it doesn't relieve pain. When I'm outside, I hear people screaming like I hear a pig being killed, so I don't want to call myself. Bear with me. Thinking that I am about to become a mother, it hurts, it hurts, when my mother gave birth to us, it was not as good as it is now, didn't we get through it. β
"Hahaha, what you said is the same as what my mom said. But where is it so terrifying as you say, and you still kill pigs. Liu Hong smiled, and the person across the delivery bed also smiled.
"Hey, I'm Yuxia, what's your name, we will also be sisters in distress in the future, let's get to know each other. β
Yuxia. Liu Hong finally remembered, she said at the time that her surname was Yu, and after fifty years, there were many more people around her, and this surname was never met again.
"Yuxia, my name is Liu Hong. Is your surname Jade or is it just your first name? Liu Hong didn't want to ask, but she couldn't help but say the same thing as back then.
"My surname is Yu, this surname is rare. β
"It's the first time I've heard of you, what do you do?"
"A middle school teacher, who teaches music and dance. What about you?"
"The kindergarten teacher is a peer. β
Then she and Yuxia talked a lot, accompanied by pain and loss for each other. Because Yuxia's man didn't come, and neither did her husband. Until Yuxia shouted, "I seem to be peeing." β
The nurse and the doctor rushed over, and Liu Hong was also afraid that she was about to give birth in a panic, so she urinated first. I was very ignorant of it, but later I learned that it was the amniotic water breaking, and it was a process that had to be experienced to give birth.
In the second half of the night, Liu Hong gave birth to her daughter, and Yuxia gave birth to a son a little before her. Everything coincides with what it was fifty years ago. When they were all pushed back to the ward one after another, Liu Hong also completely returned to her original body, and she was truly reborn.
Liu's mother was still chattering and scolding, and Yanzi was also obediently persuading, Liu Hong was very tired and really fell asleep.
In the morning, Liu Hong's father and eldest brother came over, and after seeing her, they were going to go to work. Liu's mother took a day off, but there was no way, no one from her mother-in-law's side had come, and the hospital couldn't do without people.
"Sister, brother didn't come back to your house after running three times last night, Cheng Qingzhun has something, he is a scene person, I can't tell which classmate and friend Zhang Luo is going to help. Before going to work, Liu Hong's eldest brother said.
"Brother, sister knows him and won't quarrel with him. Liu Hong said the same words in her mouth as she did back then, and she was planning how to quarrel and quarrel harmoniously in her heart. It does not affect the emotional noise.
"Girl, Dad blocked him at the commuter station when he went to work, and promised to ask him to come over immediately. β
"Dad, this is not in a hurry, Mom is here, you go to work directly, you have to take a detour to the commuter station, it's not good for you to be late for the section leader." β
"Okay, just listen to the girl. When I arrived at the factory, I told him to ask for leave, and he had three days off. β
"Waste, I'm afraid of smashing my head when the leaves fall, if I block him at the commuter station, slap him in the mouth first. The daughter-in-law is hospitalized to give birth to a child, not to mention accompanying the bed every day, but also to show up every day to see. β
"Mom, this is because there is no one at home, I went to the back door and was admitted to the hospital a few days ahead of the due date, and my eldest sister went to the hospital every day to deliver food, and it was nothing wrong when he came, so don't say so much. Liu Hong unconsciously spoke for Cheng Qing.
"You stupid girl. I'm by all of you. Didn't your eldest sister come to deliver the meal in a while, and I didn't bother to see the people of Lao Cheng's family when I went home. Liu's mother left, and Yanzi followed back, and Liu's father and eldest brother were also urged by Liu Hong to go to work.
Liu Hong was a little hungry, so she had to endure it. The eldest sister has to sleep when she comes home from the night shift, usually she can come over until almost noon, and she will come again before the night shift. It's hard enough to say, and it takes half an hour to ride a bicycle back and forth.
She lay on the bed and closed her eyes, thinking that no one came over this day, and it should be Ye Gang who came next. The one who was like a brother to him in his youth.
"Liu Hong, I know that you must be alone, you are hungry, it's too late to cook confinement meals for you, it just so happens that there is breakfast in the hospital, so I bought you a lunch box of porridge and small pickles. "Whoever comes to mind comes.
"Ye Gang, you are going to feed the pigs, I feel like a rice bucket, how did I buy such a big box. And just this little pickle stick, even the spacing of the planting is too large. She was joking with him as usual.
"You're not stupid, and you compare yourself to a pig. I asked the food seller, and they said that they were not allowed to eat salty and bland during confinement. I'm still begging for these pickles, so hurry up and drink some while they're hot. β
"Hey, how did you know I gave birth last night?"
"My dad listened to what Uncle Liu said, and I listened to what my dad said. It just so happened that I came directly after the night shift. Ye Gang said smoothly. In fact, Liu Hong knew that he came from the shift, and he was on the day shift that day. Liu Hong also knew that Cheng Qing would not come during the day, and he felt that it would take almost half a day to take a leave and then borrow a bicycle to ride back, and it would be too much of a loss to have only three days off.
Liu Hong didn't know these things back then, but with fifty years of memory, she had insight into all this. Thinking about it now, at that time, Liu Hong was the kind of stupid girl her mother said, a woman who lacked roots in her head. Now this root has been mended, and he has returned from the afterlife.
"Wait a while, you can go back to sleep, and at noon, my eldest sister will be able to deliver the meal." Cheng Qing may be able to ask for leave to come back. β
"Okay, I'll go back when you're full, and when you're discharged from the hospital, I'll ask my mother to see you." β
One day when she was discharged from the hospital, Liu Hong fell into deep thought. I remember that she went home the next day, although the hospital advised her to stay for a few more days, and there was some training and knowledge about lactation to be popularized to every pregnant woman. But my mother-in-law and eldest sister both said that there was nothing wrong with a smooth birth, so let's just go home. There are still people who can take the time to take care of them. She stupidly agreed, and made another virtuous illness, which was really stupidly bubbling.
"One day, I can't say for sure, listen to the doctor. Don't call Aunt Ye to come, it's strange to be busy at work. β
"Who isn't busy, it's you who gave birth, my mother has asked several times. You don't care about these things, have a good confinement, and don't fall into any diseases. β
"Cut, like you know everything. Liu Hong said with a smile.
"I don't understand, and I'm not as retarded as you. Ye Gang also said with a smile.
"You might as well just call me stupid. Didn't you just take seven peanuts when you got married and told me to guess a riddle and I didn't answer it, remember, stingy ghost. Liu Hong said the same as back then.
"Well, that's how you understand it, then long live it. Ye Gang said a little disappointed.
