Postpartum wind

In 1956, Shandong moved to Heilongjiang, and Yao Ruicheng's family came to the countryside of Mingshui County. After working there in Mingshui for more than a year, I couldn't see any money, so I went to Anda and worked with my husband in a brick factory, and we both lived in a big dormitory.

In August of the lunar calendar of 1960, Anda had heavy snow and ice. The big dormitory was too cold, and the four men went to the chicken house after work, and the four of us bought three earthen houses in the chicken house. Nine members of the old Yao family live in the east house, and three members of ten people live in the west house, and the outer house supports the pot.

The east and west houses are opposite the kang, and there is a two-meter-wide aisle under the kang. When it's cold, the outhouse cooks in the kang hole, the kang is warm, and the house is a lot warmer. In the summer, the pot is cooked, the house is small, the earthen house is low, and it is like walking into a steamer. The north window is a little windy, and it can be cooler, and it is not mushy.

In the summer of 1962, Yao's sister-in-law gave birth. More than ten days after giving birth, I heard someone crying in the east house in the outhouse.

When I entered the house, I saw Sister-in-law Yao crying and asked, "Sister-in-law Yao, why are you crying?" ”

She said: "I have a lot of headaches and I am cold. ”

I had a postpartum stroke, and I knew that the postpartum wind was severe, so I hurriedly went back to the West House and said to Sister-in-law Song: "Sister-in-law Yao is sick, you show me the child, I will go to the brick factory to find Brother Yao, and ask Brother Yao to invite a doctor." ”

Sister-in-law Song took the child, and I turned around and ran.

When I went to the brick factory for three miles, I ran there, and it was so hot that my clothes were wet.

I looked for Brother Yao and wanted to go back together, Brother Yao went to the health center to find a doctor, and the doctor went to a brick factory.

Brother Yao went to a brick factory to find a doctor, and I went home.

When I went home, I saw that Sister-in-law Yao was all right, and she was working.

Sister-in-law Yao asked, "What did you do?" ”

I said, "Seeing that you are sick, I will go to Brother Yao and ask Brother Yao to ask you to hire a doctor to take a look, I am afraid that it will be a postpartum stroke." The postpartum wind is terrible, I can get through it, and I almost didn't die. ”

Sister-in-law Yao said: "Postpartum wind is different, right? Isn't it good to see me? Your brother Yao said that he is doing piecework these days, and he can earn more than 20 yuan a day. It's over today, and I can't make any money. I didn't know you were going to him, but if I did, I wouldn't have told you to go. ”

On a hot day, I even ran and took away six miles, and I was tired. I took the child from Sister-in-law Song, lay down to feed the child, the more I thought about Sister-in-law Yao's words, the more uncomfortable it became, and I was annoying with my strength, and I had no strength in my body at all.

The chicken house was more than ten miles away from a brick factory, and there were very few bicycles at that time, and they all walked there. Dr. Jia in the factory also doesn't have a bicycle.

Before the doctor invited by Brother Yao came, Sister-in-law Yao fell ill and said, "I'm uncomfortable!" I'm cold! I have a headache! As he spoke, he shuddered, his eyes widened and his nose twitched. Trembling for a while, she was not good at shouting.

At the beginning, I, Sister-in-law Song, Sister-in-law Zuo and Sister-in-law Yao's mother-in-law, Aunt Yao, guarded her. Later, not only did her eyes widen, her nose and mouth pulled together, her hands clawed wildly, and her shouts became more and more ugly: "Oops-roar, roar, roarβ€”β€”! Oopsβ€”roar, roar, roar, β€”β€”......"

She couldn't stop shouting, so scared that I didn't dare to come to her, her mother-in-law guarded by herself, and I was in the outhouse looking forward to the doctor coming soon.

Doctor Jia came, saw that look, gave some sweating medicine, turned around and left.

I didn't tell him to go, and neither of them grabbed him. At that time, Dr. Jia was twenty-seven or eighteen years old and scared away.

What a mess, Brother Yao was embarrassed.

At that time, Anda did not have a people's hospital, and there were ten miles from the chicken house to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, and there was no car. We are poor, and the people of Tunzi look down on me and don't borrow anything. After thinking about it for a long time, Brother Yao thought of Dr. Long. Dr. Long worked as a doctor in a brick factory, and he thought that the brick factory had less money, so he left, and went to Zhangjiadian to see a doctor and sell medicine, earning a lot.

Brother Yao wanted to give Sister-in-law Yao Dr. Jia's medicine first, but Sister-in-law Yao's teeth were clenched so tightly that she couldn't open her mouth. Aunt Yao helped pinch her nose and eyes, and Sister-in-law Yao couldn't breathe, so she opened her mouth and drank the medicine.

At about eleven o'clock at noon, Brother Yao went to invite Dr. Long, and it was almost dark, so he invited him.

Dr. Long touched his pulse and said, "It's okay, I can cure it." ”

It's also strange, Sister-in-law Yao shouted for more than a long time, oops-roar-roarβ€”β€”, oops-roar-roar——。 Doctor Long came, she didn't shout or speak, maybe she was too tired.

Sister-in-law Song said: "Sister-in-law Yao is going to die, I don't live here, I live here, I have to be scared to death." I heard that the woman who died in the confinement and thought about her children often came back. Even if I live in a kennel, I don't dare to live here. ”

Sister-in-law Yao stopped shouting, and I didn't dare to go to her house or look at her face.

Aunt Yao said: "She closed her eyes. ”

Dr. Long said, "Thanks to Dr. Jia for giving sweating medicine. If you don't take that sweating medicine, it's too late to sweat again, and the wind will return to your heart. ”

It was dark, and Dr. Long didn't dare to leave. At that time, there were many wolves, and the east and north sides of the chicken house were grasslands, and wolves could be heard howling every day.

The next day, Sister-in-law Yao was fine, I went into the house to see her, she could speak, and that face was no longer scary.

The disease came and went quickly, and after seven or eight days, Sister-in-law Yao was well-treated.

I said: "Postpartum wind is different, when I have postpartum wind, it is cold, shivering from the cold, shaking the new bed creaky and not shouting." ”

Sister-in-law Yao said: "I don't know what's going on, I know everything in my heart, but I can't be my own home." ”

Sister-in-law Yao also said: "You asked me for a doctor that day, I was so tired that I still said things that I didn't like." You saved my life, thank you. ”

I said: "We are like sisters, it's okay to say anything, you are good and everyone is blessed." ”
