1. Name
1 November 1984.
A small town in a remote mountainous area of China.
It was a night, and there were lightning flashes in the night sky from time to time, and the thunder was deafening, even drowning out the sound of the rain.
Darkness, torrential rain, and thunder enveloped the town's only public hospital.
This public hospital is the best hospital in town, but it is not only small compared to the big cities, but also has extremely poor medical conditions, and even in such a hospital, there is still a private ward.
There was only one poor sister lying on the bed in the ward, the poor sister's body was a little swollen, but her long hair was greasy, and she knew that she hadn't cleaned herself up for a long time.
The dim light of the ward shone on the face of the poor sister, and the sallow face became a little pale.
At this time, the door of the ward opened, and in came a man with a soaked lower body, and an umbrella in his hand that was even wetter than his lower body.
"Brother Yao, is it raining a lot outside?" The poor sister was lying on the hospital bed, and she cared about the man who entered the door, and every wife would care about her husband, so this Brother Yao was the husband of this poor sister.
Brother Yao put the umbrella by the door before replying: "Look at my current embarrassment, you know how heavy this rain is, and if there is a flood in the second half of the night, I don't think it's very unusual." ”
Brother Yao walked to the side of Sister Pian's bed, found a bench to sit down, stroked Sister Pian's haggard cheek, and asked Sister Pian with concern: "Sister Pity, how are you feeling today?" ”
The poor sister touched her round belly and smiled: "He kicked me several times today, maybe he figured it out." ”
Brother Yao also smiled, and he said happily, "Really? Can I listen to him? ”
"That's your child, of course you can listen to it." The poor sister nodded.
Brother Yao excitedly pillowed his head on the belly of the poor sister, and a happy smile kept on his face.
"How? Hear him talking? Sister Lian is also very happy, she knows that she and Brother Yao are looking forward to the arrival of this little angel.
Brother Yao put his finger to his lips and motioned to the poor sister not to speak, he wanted to listen carefully to the child's voice.
Lian Mei immediately shut up, so that Brother Yao and her child could be alone for a while.
"Ouch!" Brother Yao suddenly left the belly of the poor sister.
"What's wrong?" Sister Lian didn't know why Brother Yao suddenly had such a reaction.
Brother Yao touched his face and replied with a smile, "He just kicked me." ”
The poor girl laughed: "He must know that you are a villain. ”
Brother Yao also laughed, and for a while, although there was a storm outside the ward, there was peace inside the ward.
After the laughter, Sister Lian asked Brother Yao: "Anyway, the child is about to be born, Brother Yao, have you thought about it?" ”
Brother Yao patted his chest: "I have already thought about it, I have chosen the best name for our son......"
"Wait......" Sister Lian suddenly interrupted Brother Yao's words.
"What's wrong?" Brother Yao didn't understand why Poor Sister would suddenly interrupt him.
"Our son, you say?" The poor sister asked Brother Yao rhetorically.
"Yes, our son." Brother Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
The poor sister was a little angry: "Didn't we say okay?" Don't ask the doctor if it's a man or a woman, whether it's a man or a woman, we'll treat them equally. ”
Brother Yao then remembered that there was still this agreement between them, he touched the back of his head, and said with some shame: "I'm not in a hurry, I think we should know in advance whether it's a man or a woman, so let's prepare in advance." ”
"Fart! You just miss your son. "Poor sister doesn't believe Brother Yao's rhetoric, she knows her husband best, she knows that what Brother Yao said is true, that sentence is false, when Brother Yao touches the back of his head, what Brother Yao said will definitely not be true.
"Oops! Poor sister, I really think so. Although Brother Yao was exposed, he still insisted on his statement.
Lian Mei didn't want to pursue this matter too much, so she changed the topic seriously: "How much?" ”
"What, how much?" Brother Yao hasn't caught up with the rhythm of the poor sister.
"I asked you how much money you gave the doctor?"
"Just kidding, who is my Brother Yao? I'm the biggest entrepreneur in town, how many people are I who brought out of this ravine, and they can't thank me yet, how can they take my money? Brother Yao raised his head and stood tall, very proud.
"How much is it for less of this set?" Sister Lian knew that Brother Yao was just bragging, so she didn't care what Brother Yao explained, she just wanted to know the point.
Brother Yao was stunned all of a sudden, lowered his head, and whispered to his sister, "One hundred yuan." ”
"How much? Be louder! ”
"A hundred!" Brother Yao raised his voice.
"You ......" the poor sister was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Brother Yao saw that the poor sister was angry, and quickly stroked the poor sister's chest, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I can still earn another hundred yuan, my business is good now, and I will be able to earn hundreds of yuan soon." ”
You must know that in the 80s, the salary of an ordinary worker was only a few dozen yuan a month, and a hundred yuan was not a small amount, so the poor sister was so angry.
"Really, my business is on the road now." Brother Yao has always hoped that Sister Pian can believe in himself, although Brother Yao's road ahead has not been smooth, but Brother Yao feels that he will definitely be able to get better in the future.
"Really? You can make a lot of money just by helping others recruit workers? "Poor sister doesn't understand business, she only knows that Brother Yao used to do the business of recruiting workers, and brought all the new forces in the town out of the mountains and let them go to Shenzhen to work, at that time everyone thought that Brother Yao was a liar, and no one wanted to go out of the mountains.
"Really, the first batch of people I brought out of the mountains before, they worked in Shenzhen to make money, some of them came back to report safety, and told others that they could earn at least two hundred a month over there, many people believed it, and now they are rushing to let me arrange for them to go to Shenzhen, so I have been so busy for a while that I don't have time to take care of you." Brother Yao's eyes were very sincere, and this time it didn't look like he was telling a lie.
Sister Lian believed Brother Yao, she knew when Brother Yao would tell the truth, and Brother Yao was telling the truth now.
Of course she was very happy when she heard Brother Yao say that she could make a lot of money in the future, she clapped her hands happily and said, "If you really make a lot of money, I must buy a lot of things for our children, and I will never let our son suffer a little." ”
Brother Yao stroked Sister Pian's hair, and said to Sister Pian affectionately: "I not only want to let our son live the best life, I will also make you happy for the rest of your life, just like I told you when I got married, in the second half of my life, I will be a cow and a horse to make you live like a princess." ”
Poor sister is very satisfied, very happy, no matter what the future holds, who can perfectly predict what will happen in the future? At least at this moment, after listening to Brother Yao's oath, she is satisfied, she is happy.
However, the unforeseen soon came, and the poor girl's expression suddenly became distorted, she covered her stomach, and her mouth whined in pain.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the poor sister suddenly became like this, Brother Yao immediately became anxious.
"Well... It looks like it's going to give birth! The poor sister squeezed out the sentence from the pain.
After hearing this, Brother Yao became even more anxious, he rushed to the door of the ward and shouted outside the door: "Someone! Someone! ”
The doctor and nurse soon arrived, and sent her into the delivery room and sat up for surgery.
Brother Yao sat outside the delivery room, anxiously waiting, he had never been so nervous in his life, he had never been so devout to God in his life, he had been praying outside the delivery room that God would bless the mother and child in the delivery room.
It didn't take long for the door of the delivery room to open, and Brother Yao immediately got up from his seat, but there was only one nurse out of the delivery room, and the nurse did not have her own son in her hand, only a pile of folders with a pen.
Brother Yao looked at the nurse's expression a little nervous, his lips moved slightly, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it.
Brother Yao realized that something was not right, and hurriedly asked the nurse, "What happened inside?" ”
Under Brother Yao's questioning, the nurse mustered up the courage to say: "Your wife is bleeding heavily, we are trying to stop the bleeding, but the fetus is now in the final stage of running out, if we forcibly stop the bleeding, the child may be stillborn, and the lady is very hurt this time, and will not be able to have children in the future, if we give up stopping the bleeding and pulling out the child, Mrs.'s life will not be saved, so the size can only be saved, we need your decision, sir." ”
Although there were thunderbolts everywhere outside the hospital, Brother Yao felt that the thunderbolts seemed to have passed through the protection of the hospital and slashed at him, and Brother Yao only felt a little in a trance.
Brother Yao suddenly knelt down and pleaded with the nurse: "I beg you, save my wife and child!" I really don't want to lose them! ”
"We have tried our best, the medical conditions in the town are limited, and the doctor who can save my wife is only in the county, but it is raining heavily outside, and it is difficult for the doctor to arrive in time, I hope that Mr. will make a decision quickly, otherwise it will be difficult for both of them to survive." The nurse urged Brother Yao.
Brother Yao gritted his teeth, he knew what decision Sister Pian would make if Sister Pian knew the current situation, so Brother Yao also made the same decision: "Keep Xiao!" ”
The poor sister died, and the child was born.
Brother Yao was holding the sleeping child, and his innocent appearance was very cute.
And the doctor next to Brother Yao said to Brother Yao: "I'm really sorry, I couldn't save your wife, but the child is still healthy, although he didn't cry in his life, but laughed, but I checked it and there was no problem." ”
Brother Yao didn't answer the doctor at all, he just looked at his child, which was his only hope.
"By the way, what's the child's name? I'll have to register him first. ”
Brother Yao choked up a little, and he replied sadly: "The child's surname is mine, and his name is her mother's surname, I originally hoped that the child's name could commemorate the love between me and my sister, but now...... It really became a memorial. ”
The doctor recalled the names of Brother Yao and Sister Lian before saying, "Feng Yao and Ling Lian, so your son will be called Feng Ling." ”
