Chapter 31: Birth
"Eldest sister, let's take the path and listen to Hou Jiu's family, which is on the riverside,"
"Okay, I think this Hou Jiu is not an honest person, Feng'er is a little lacking in heart, and she can't grasp the proportions of doing things."
"I can't see anything from the outside, we've only met him once"
"When we arrive, his house is by the river, this Zhuangzi, let's go in and ask others"
"Oh, this Zhuangzi is not big, the houses in this place are so messy, one in the east and one in the west, unlike the rows of Ouyang's family, neat and tidy."
"The matchmaker said that Hou Jiu's house is two bungalows, and there are two bungalows in front, let's go ask this old man"
"Uncle, please ask, where is the Hou Jiu family?"
"You ask Hou Jiu's family, the two bungalows in front are, just now, Hou Jiu was still standing at the door."
"Oh, thank you"
Li Yun and Li Qing came to the door of Hou's house, two bungalows, the east one was a hall house, the door was open, and Li Fengren was not seen.
Hou Jiu stood in front of the door, shouting expressionlessly
"Eldest Sister, Second Sister"
"Hou Jiu, Li Feng came to your house for dinner at noon, but it's dark now, and you still haven't gone home?"
"Li Feng has eaten lunch and has already gone home."
"We just came home and didn't come home."
Li Yun and Li Qing sisters, looking at a room to the west, there is a bedroom to the west, and there is no light in the room.
The doors and windows are closed, and the glass under the window is stained glass, which is opaque and cannot see the inside of the room.
Li Qing brought a wooden bench from the hall, helped Li Yun, stepped on the wooden bench, and held on to the window railing to look into the room
Vaguely, I saw that in the middle of the room, there was a bed, and the bed was cotton
was arched, Li Feng curled up sideways on the bed, the quilt was on his body, only a big face with fluffy hair was exposed, facing the window.
"Eldest sister, it's Feng'er! Lying in bed"
Li Yun and Li Qing banged on the window and shouted loudly outside the window
"Feng'er, go home"
It's so late, get up and go home. Feng'er! Feng'er~ Open the door! “
Li Feng still hid in bed and did not move.
Li Yun and Li Qing shouted at the window for a while, knocking on the window non-stop.
After a long time, Li Feng answered
"Don't go back!."
Then no matter how the two sisters shouted, they just didn't get up and didn't speak.
Li Qing brought the bench back to the hall, and Hou Jiu stood at the door, silent.
"Eldest sister, it's useless to shout again, Feng'er ignores us"
"Why is Feng'er so stupid?"
Li Yun and Li Qing returned home ashamed and annoyed.
Song Nanzhi stood at the door, waiting anxiously, and saw that Li Yun and Li Feng were back, but Li Feng did not come back.
"You two are back, where is Feng'er?"
Li Yun and Li Qing, 1510, went to Hou's house just now, and explained in detail.
Song Nanzhi was so angry that she trembled all over, her body was crooked, and Li Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"This unproductive thing, before getting married, slept in someone's bed, ruining the family style! Your dad is gone, and I'm worried
LI Qing and LI Yun,
Don't do things that are embarrassing and ruin the family style, so that people look down on them, and they will come if they are afraid.
She likes it so much, stay in other people's homes, then let her go early, when the time comes, she will make a fool of herself with a big belly, and she can't afford to lose this person."
After Li Qing got married, not long after, Li Feng got married in a hurry, and Song Nanzhi only gave two new quilts as a dowry.
Li Yun's son Jia Ren was only two years old, and Jia Ren was born and has been led by Song Nanzhi.
Before Li Qing and Li Feng got married, they also helped take care of them.
After Li Feng got married, Song Nanzhi was taken to Li Yun's house and lived with Li Yun.
"Mom, now Qing'er and Feng'er are married, you are home alone, we don't worry, it's better to go to the street and live with us,
You still help us bring Jia Ren, it's more convenient to live together, upstairs and downstairs are enough, we don't have to run around. ”
Song Nanzhi was only 50 years old at the time, and she was a good hand at taking care of children, washing clothes and cooking, and watching shops.
All the people who knew Song Nanzhi went to Li Yun's house to buy things.
Li Yun has given his relatives and friends the impression since he was a child that he is hardworking, sensible and filial.
On the same street, Song Nanzhi rarely crossed the road and went to Li Qing's shop.
As soon as the Spring Festival passed, it entered the off-season, spring plowing began, and Ouyang went home to farm from time to time.
It's the same in the summer, but it's a good time to go back every afternoon.
On the morning of July 8th, it was the time of the double robbery in the countryside. The scorching sun shines on the earth.
Farmers go to the streets early to buy what they should buy, and sometimes they don't go to the streets if they can, so they seize the time to cut rice and plant seedlings to grab the season.
Ouyang was in the store in the morning, hung up the sample clothes, Li Qing cooked breakfast, and after breakfast, Ouyang cleaned up in the store.
Li Qing washed the pots and dishes, bought some vegetables at the vegetable market, and sat in front of the door to pick vegetables.
"Ouch"
Li Qing felt a little pain in his abdomen, and snorted softly, after picking vegetables, his stomach still hurt a little,
"Ouyang, my stomach hurts a little, and my ankles are still a little swollen these days, which I haven't had before
It's painful, I'll go to Mom's to see."
"Oh, slow down."
Li Qing dragged his feet and walked to Li Yun's shop.
Song Nanzhi listened to Li Qingyi's words, and the expected date of delivery was approaching.
"Ouyang, Qing'er is probably going to give birth, dare
Come home and get your mom out on the street,"
"Hey!"
Ouyang got on his bicycle and rushed all the way home.
Riding to the bridgehead at the entrance of the village, I saw Ouyang Lei and Jiang Cui in a golden rice field, sweating like rain to cut rice.
"Mom, Li Qing is going to give birth, go to the street quickly"
Jiang Cui raised her arm in a long-sleeved gown and wiped the sweat from her forehead,
"Mom! Li Qing is going to give birth."
Ouyang went down to the ridge from Qiaotou Village Road, and frowned anxiously.
Ouyang Lei lowered his head and continued to cut rice.
Jiang Cui stopped the sickle in his hand, raised his head violently, and curled his hair slightly,
After being wet with sweat, wisps stuck to his scalp one by one, and his eyes stared at Ouyang deadly
"Giving birth to a child, how can it be so fast, what is there to be in a hurry, what is in a hurry! Again
Isn't her mother on the street?"
Said angrily
"It's really good at picking the time, the family is so busy with farm work, she wants to give birth! The family was busy with her.
I asked her to give birth at home, and I delivered babies around the neighborhood, how many children, she had to go to the hospital to give birth,"
Jiang Cui continued to bow her head and bend over, waving a sickle to cut rice.
Seeing Ouyang standing on the ridge and not moving, looking anxious, Jiang Cui turned his head and shouted at Ouyang Lei
"You two go! Go home and pull the flatbed out and bring the bed quilt. ”
"You can't work, you go to the street"
Ouyang Lei raised his head and walked from the field to the ridge, holding a sickle in his right hand.
Ouyang saw his father coming up, and hurriedly rode home, Ouyang Lei had already arrived home from the ridge road.
The father and son pulled out the flatbed cart in the backyard, and Ouyang took out a quilt from the cabinet in the east room and put it on the car.
Ouyang Lei held the handlebars on both sides of the flatbed with his hands facing back, and Ouyang was behind
Immediately after, the two of them braved the scorching sun and walked briskly into the street.
Song Nanzhi was very strange when he saw Ouyang Lei coming.
Ouyang Lei put the flatbed truck at the door of Ouyang's store and walked to Li Yun's house with Ouyang.
Li Yun poured tea for Ouyang Lei to drink, and Ouyang Lei sat on the bench at the door to rest.
"Father-in-law, are you busy at home now?"
"Just now, I was with Ouyang, cutting rice in the field, and the countryside was the busiest at this time, Li Qing was pregnant, Ouyang
I can't go back to work, and now I'm about to give birth, and I can't work anymore, otherwise I can cut down that field of rice today. “
"This day of giving birth to a child is not decided by Li Qing himself,
Whoever you want to be born is born. “
