On December 24, 1988, the cold winter wax moon, goose feather-like snow fell from the sky, and the villagers in the village were in full swing to prepare for the New Year's goods, the sound of killing pigs and slaughtering chickens, the sound of sound into the ears. In Ye'an Village, a village woman with a big belly walked from the east end of the village to the west of the village, and she walked for two or three days, but she didn't give birth. It is estimated that he was tired of walking, so he had no choice but to ask for help from Li Donglin.

Li Donglin is a well-known god stick in the nearby village, and joked: "Yueyun, I see that you also have a moon, right?" ”

I saw the village woman glaring at him fiercely: "Get out of the way, it's 8 days past the due date, do you want to have a caesarean section." ”

Li Donglin said: "I'll give you a hexagram for this!" As he spoke, his hand picked up and fell, and a pastoral dog happened to pass by, and then said in surprise: "This son is the reincarnation of a tiger, let him listen to the barking of pigs, cows, sheep and dogs, and let these beasts wake up your child, no need to cut the abdomen, otherwise it is not good to see blood!" ”

After listening to Li Donglin's words, Yueyun went home and told her husband, Cui Niu, the news.

Early the next morning, Cui Niu, helping his wife, carefully came to his pigsty, picked up the wooden stick leaning against the pigsty, and went up to pump twice. The piglets barked, and they didn't forget to ask the dog twice, so that the dog next to them also barked twice.

With just a cup of tea, Yueyun said to her husband: "Brother Niu, I'm going to give birth, call the village doctor Xu Guoliang quickly!" ”

The husband got up and went out, and shouted outside Xu Guoliang's house in the east: "I'm going to give birth, I'm going to give birth!" ”

Xu Guoliang was nearly half a hundred years old, and said to Cui Niu with a wrinkled door: "Urge, urge, what urge?" ”

Cui Niu said to Xu Guoliang excitedly: "Oh, I, Cui Niu, Yueyun is about to give birth, Mr. trouble." ”

Xu Guoliang sighed and said, "Be quiet, the dog and his mother have just been born, so you can't be quiet." The words fell, and the cry of the dog came from the house, and the screaming of the dog. Cui Niu paused for a moment, and pleaded helplessly: "Sir, come with me to see our family Yueyun first, you also know that it has exceeded expectations for a week." ”

Cui Niu only hated Xu Guoliang for walking slowly, kept saying good things, begging to go faster, Xu Guoliang still walked slowly and leisurely, and met Li Donglin on the road, Li Donglin said to Cui Niu: "Ah Niu, your wife gave birth, boy, your wife asked me yesterday, I divined it, and gave birth today according to the method I said." Listened to Li Donglin's words: "Thank you! ”

Ah Niu, who rushed home, was stopped by Xu Guoliang: "Since the mother and child are safe, slow down, it's okay to give birth smoothly." He smiled and said to Cui Niu: "I think your kid is called Cui Sheng!" ”

Cui Niu was stunned at the same time: "This name is good, then let's call it Cui Sheng!" ”

At this time, he arrived in his yard unhurriedly, and saw that Cui Sheng's mother had already settled Yueyun and the child.

Cui Niu said to Xu Guoliang: "Mr. gives a name, it is difficult to repay the great kindness!" Prescribe some medicine to Yueyun! ”

After Xu Guoliang finished prescribing the medicine, Cui Niu directly followed him back to get the medicine.

Cui Niu has not gone to work in the factory in the past two days, and has been accompanying Yueyun, which can be regarded as a good thing for the two of them.

When Cui Niu came home with the medicine, he saw Yueyun and her mother-in-law chatting together, what was their name? Yueyun thought about it and shouted: "The east wind, the east wind can't overwhelm the west wind." Let's call it Cui Dongfeng. Cui Niu despised it for a moment and said, "Did you let him call the wind and rain?" It's not good, it's still Dr. Xu's name, it's called Cui Sheng, Cui Sheng is good! Good to feed. ”

At this time, a person came over from outside the door, and said in a hurry: "Cui Sheng, this name is good, urging birth is not born, stable, stable personality, you can be a big official when you grow up." Little Cui Sheng, grandpa look at you. Yueyun didn't object, eating the two big eggs that had just been eaten. said: "Then call it Cui Sheng." Don't forget, call your friends and family when the moon is full! ”

Cui Niu said happily: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

Grandpa Cui Dazhuang is still very authoritative, I want to defeat the landlord back then, he took Cui Niu to sweep the streets alone, and held a criticism meeting, now it's better, a little inflated, after all, it is also a family with a background, just hate to be born at the wrong time, the four brothers studied well on Cui Niu and the fourth Cui Tian, and Cui Niu was once the champion of the town's high school. But Cui Niu was rejected for taking the college entrance examination in 70 years due to composition problems, Cui Tian and his little sister Cui Cai were both admitted to universities, and they were both famous universities, and they all caught up with the good times.

The family is extremely excited because Cui Niu gave birth to a son, the eldest Cui family gave birth to a daughter, this year's daughter is also 11 years old, and there has been no son, today Cui Sheng's birth makes the whole family very happy. chatted until more than 11 o'clock in the evening, and they were reluctant to leave.

At night, Cui Niu was so happy that he didn't know who was going to start planning for the future. Although he now lives in a mud house with a salary of only 50 yuan, he is also a salaryman, riding a 28-bar and running nearly 30 kilometers of mountain roads every day to go to work in the factory.

Thinking about it, I discussed it with my daughter-in-law: "Can we first erect the fence of our yard, and then cut down the trees in the yard, and after working for more than ten years, we will also build a two-story brick house, and then the wing house will also be built, and we will not be so tired when we buy a tractor to harvest crops, and then save some money for Cui Sheng to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Yueyun said coldly: "With your few cents of salary, you still want to build a brick house, go to college, and marry a daughter-in-law?" Don't you still have to raise pigs? The most you can afford to build is a house. By the way, I'll go to the market in Dongzhen in Shangshui tomorrow, go buy some cloth or something, and let our mother make some diapers and clothes or something. I feel like I've done a little less, as if it's not enough. ”

Cui Niu said dullly: "Okay, I'll ask our mother tomorrow to see what you need, and I'll configure it." In fact, Cui Niu also has a dead knot in his heart, four brothers and eight sisters. The brother is the second, the eldest and his cousin have become a family, the third is farming at home, under the pressure of the old mother, is preparing to wait for the Spring Festival to go to the factory leader to talk, to find a job for the third child.

The old four are about to graduate from a prestigious university, and they should be able to find a good job, and there is no problem with commercial food. In the future, Dad's brick building will definitely be the third. The three elder sisters are all married, and the eighth brother is also studying at a prestigious university.

The old lady has always looked down on herself, but there is nothing she can do, the eldest and her aunt's cousin have become relatives, which can be regarded as relatives and eldest sons. Although the old house is also a mud house, it is also a two-story house, and there is only one earthen house by itself, and the third one lives in a brick house. That's the two-story brick house that the father took him and the boss to build a few times, and a lot of the strength ended up, nothing, sometimes when I saw my homestead, I wanted to see the big forest, and my heart was cold, no matter, I talked to my father first, and I should be able to help if I got a grandson. I thought about it and fell asleep.

At night, the snow stopped, and it snowed heavily for two days and one night, making the entire Ye'an Village look neat and bright, white and flawless.

At the third watch, the rooster began to crow "cluck", waking up the little Cui Sheng who was still in swaddling clothes, Yueyun looked at Cui Niu, slept like a pig, rolled his eyes, and sang a little song by himself: "Snowflakes are fluttering, snowflakes are coming to ...... year"

The sky was gray and gray, and Yueyun woke up Cui Niu and said to Cui Niu: "You cook some food, I was born last night, and I spent the night." Remember going to town, and also, even if you have almost enough time off time, I don't have anything to do, so you can go to work, earn more money, and my son will use it in the future. I don't have a problem with myself. ”

Cui Niu knows how to cook, learned a little maintenance, and is honest in the workshop, so he will follow the master to do some coolies. Yueyun was in bed, and only one sentence: "The water in the pot is boiling and then the rice will be served!" ”

After a while, the boiling rice water came out of the pot, eat some dry buns sent by the old lady yesterday, snoring Cui Niu finished eating, brought the rice porridge to his wife, and then said: "I'll come back and wash it, hurry up, don't come back at noon, you let our mother send you something to eat!" Yueyun glared fiercely, "Hurry up and get out!" "Actually, Yueyun is also Chu, at that time, it was to see Cui Niu's honest duty, and he didn't have a house to earn his own money in the future, but Cui Niu always paid his mother's salary, saying that his mother would take care of it and build a house in the future, Yueyun didn't know how many times he went to his mother's house because of this matter, no, he couldn't change it now, and sometimes he secretly gave it to his mother, and knew in time that his mother looked down on himself, and he had to do this, always saying that it was not easy for his mother, eight children had to be fed, and now there were three.

Cui Niu walked into the two-story brick house, saw that the father went to the field with a hoe on his back, wanted to say but didn't say, walked into the living room and saw the old mother baking a brazier, and shouted: "Mom." "What did the old lady ask? He said: "Yueyun said, the child's supplies are not enough, see if you can ....." The old lady said: "Isn't your daughter-in-law good?" Let him do it himself, your eldest brother's child is about to be born, and I'm doing it for him. ”

Cui Niu said in a daze: "I think so too, you can do it, I'll go to work, send some food to Yueyun at noon, it's inconvenient in this month." ”

The old lady looked at him expressionlessly: "Okay! Go ahead, when the wheat comes down, give it some, and you can't eat it for nothing. ”

Cui Niu said: "Mine and Yueyun can discuss it, after all, it is a family of three now, and the output is not too good." ”

The old lady scolded: "You white-eyed wolf, are you too much? Raise you so big, and a few younger siblings go to school, eat and drink. You have to give wheat or white flour, or don't eat it. ”

Looking at my sister writing at the table, and my younger brother who will graduate next year, two famous college students, my younger brother is studying politics and law, and my younger sister is studying civil engineering, how does it sound a little awkward, but that's it, this is their intention.

As he was talking, suddenly Cui Sheng's cry came from next door, and he cried wow-wow-wow.

Cui Niu sighed in his heart, he could only agree to the solution, discussed for a long time, and finally decided: dig up a scoop of white noodles from Cui Niu's house every day.

Cui Niu, who thought that both sides had been arranged, also went to work with exhaustion.
