Chapter 18: Bitter Love

After being harassed by the pervert accountant, Wen Min moved to Mr. Wang's house, and it has been three months.

Lao Wang is the captain and is an upright person. He always said that educated youths were also raised by their parents, and it was not easy to come all the way to this poor village, so he tried to take care of them as much as he could. Aunt Wang is even more enthusiastic and kind, especially likes to listen to Wen Min sing. Xiao Wang also has an older sister who has already been married. The two younger brothers also regard Wen Min as their own sister.

But for many days, Aunt Wang had a doubt in her heart: Wen Min often vomited during this time. As a mother of four, she felt that something was wrong.

On this day, she called Wen Minshan to her east house.

She took Wen Min's hand and asked, "Xiaomin, my aunt treats you as my own daughter, you tell your aunt the truth, how long have you not been there?" ”

"About two months! I've never had my period. What's wrong, auntie? ”

"Listen to my girl, you have a partner, don't you?"

Wen Min blushed and replied weakly, "Yes." ”

"Are youβ€”have?"

"What's there?" Wen Min asked puzzled.

"Silly boy!" Aunt Wang said, "That's it, Auntie will take you to the county hospital for a check-up today." ”

……

The results of the examination came back, and the fetus in the womb was already three months old!

Wen Min was stunned! - Only once, ......? Is it so easy to be born of life?

"The doctor said that the child was a month old and could not have an abortion. If you really don't want the baby, you can only do an induction. You also heard what the doctor said just now, and you have to be hospitalized for inducing labor. And it's almost the same as having a child, and it's also a sin. Aunt Wang sighed.

In fact, Wen Min didn't listen to the doctor's words at all, she was stupid.

When she got out of the outpatient department, she threw herself into Aunt Wang's arms and cried bitterly: "What should I do? We can't have children! ”

Aunt Wang sighed: "Yes! You're still kids! However, this is all wrong, and we have to find a way! Let's discuss it with Xiao Dong first! You have to talk to your parents, too. We don't dare to make decisions for you in such a big matter! ”

"No! You must not tell my family, my parents know, they must beat me to death! Wen Min cried and pleaded.

They sat on the benches in the hospital hallway for a few moments, unable to come up with a reason.

Aunt Wang said, "Let's go back today!" There's nothing you can do here. Go back and find Xiao Dong, and discuss it with you, Uncle Wang. ”

Wen Min still had tears on his face and said, "Okay! - I want to go to the toilet. So Aunt Wang accompanied her to the outdoor toilet at the back of the hospital.

As soon as he arrived near the toilet, a foul smell came to his nose, and Wen Min was nauseous again.

At the same time, I heard a burst of scolding: "You stinky thatched building, and you don't have any eyesight!" In broad daylight, how do you let people go to the toilet when it's stinky here? ”

"Eldest sister, I'm sorry! But this toilet will be full if you don't buy it, so isn't it even more impossible to use? The manure digger explained.

"Who do you call the eldest sister? You stinky, call me big sister? Don't pee on yourself either! Do you deserve it too? ”

At this time, several children next to him jumped and clapped their hands and shouted in unison: "Tao Mao Lou, don't smell too much, it's your uncle!" - Tao Mao Lou, don't stink, Baba is your uncle! ……”

Seeing this, Wen Min threw down Aunt Wang and ran away.

"Don't you runβ€”β€”! Don't fallβ€”β€”! You kid! Aren't you going to the toilet? Doesn't it stink? After running far away, Aunt Wang caught up with her breathlessness and asked puzzledly.

Wen Min's face was full of tears, and he choked up and said, "That person is Dong Lixing." ”

"Alasβ€”β€”! A pair of hard-working children! ”

……

In the evening, Xiao Wang was sent to her sister's house by her parents. Captain Wang and his wife discussed a solution with Wen Min. Wen Min had completely lost her mind, just crying.

Lao Wang said: "This happened in our team, your parents sent you here, we have to be responsible for you, because you are only eighteen years old after all." I think you should be notified at home. Also, it's time to find Xiao Dong, after all, the child is the two of you. ”

"No, no! I beg you! Don't tell us home! My parents have always been proud of me, and if they knew that I had done such an ugly thing, they wouldn't be angry! Wen Min almost pleaded.

Aunt Wang sighed and said, "Then why do β€”β€”, have to find Xiao Dong?" If you want me to see, you will get married as soon as possible! Let your uncle find a way to transfer him to our brigade. ”

Lao Wang took a puff of his cigarette, nodded, and said, "This is also a solution." You two are a good match! When the child is born, your aunt can also help you carry it. In our country, it's not too young for you to get married at this age! ”

Wen Min hurriedly said, "We can't make a home here!" - Children can't even ask for it! ”

Aunt Wang said suspiciously, "Why? You like him, and he likes you. Although this child came early, he would have to give birth sooner or later! - Besides, you are all from the city, and if you have the opportunity to return to the city in the future, your children will be able to bring them back as well! ”

Lao Wang looked at his wife and said, "The child may have something unspeakable. He said to Wen Min again, "Child, if there is anything we have to say today, there are no outsiders." ”

"The college entrance examination may be resumed, and we are all preparing to take the university entrance examination. What will we do if we give birth to this child? As she spoke, Wen Min began to shed tears again.

"What can I do? I'm afraid I'm going to have to do an induction! - Not to mention the sin, this is also a life! Aunt Wang sighed one after another.

……

Two days later, Aunt Wang called Wen Min aside: "Your uncle and I have come up with a solution, you see if it will work." I have a distant cousin who has been married for more than ten years and has no children, so it is better for you to give birth to the children and give them them. - Do you think it's okay? Anyway, I saved my life, didn't I? ”

Wen Min was embarrassed and said: "But, after a few days, this stomach can't be hidden, this ......"

"I discussed with your uncle, my cousin is in the forest farm in Linxian County, and no one knows you there, so you will go to them in a few days. Here, your uncle said that you were seconded to perform, and no one knows what's going on. You don't need to do anything when you get there, you just have to concentrate on your studies. The child can also find a good family, the salary of the forest farm is high, and the child can't be lost. If you want to think it's okay, I'll take you to see it in two days, and when you come back, you can discuss it with Xiao Dong and make a decision again. ”

Aunt Wang's cousin-in-law's surname is Ming, named Ming Yuhai, who is a teacher at Linchang Middle School, and her sister is called Zhang Yufeng. Wen Min felt that this should be the best way out of the way.

……

was about to leave Yongqing, Wen Min said that he would go to discuss with Dong Lixing, and went to the hut on the edge of the three teams of livestock sheds.

"I ...... I'm going to go for a while, I'm going to be seconded to perform, I'm going to say goodbye to you. ”

She didn't say a word about the child, since the child must be given to someone else, let's hide it from him for the time being! - She didn't want Dong Lixing to be distracted by this.

Witnessing the scene in the hospital toilet, she hoped too much that her prince would be able to get out of the sea of misery as soon as possible.

Dong Lixing took out three thick notebooks, "This-you bring it, take a look at it when you have time, you have to take the music major and the liberal arts exam, these can be used." ”

"I took it, what are you going to do?"

"This is what I re-copied."

"How much time is this going to waste you?" She was really touched and distressed.

"It's time to review it, don't delay things! - I hope we all have a chance to get into the university of our dreams! ”

When parting, Wen Min hugged Dong Lixing tightly, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Dong Lixing wiped away the tears from her face and said, "It's a good thing to leave the brigade and leave that pervert." What are you crying about? How did he know the pain in Wen Min's heart, but he said with a smile.

……

On October 12, 1977, the state officially announced the immediate resumption of the college entrance examination that year. The exam is scheduled for December of this year. As soon as the news spread, the whole country boiled. Almost all of the educated youth are eager to try. Captain Wang also signed up for Wen Min.

However, it was only a short period of more than forty days, which was too hasty! And there is no syllabus, I don't know what to test; I don't have a textbook and I don't know what to review!

Fortunately, Dong Lixing was able to continue to receive notes from his father, and what was even more rare was that his uncle in Beijing also sent him a set of "Mathematics Series" and a "Atlas of Intellectual Youth". In this way, combined with Dad's notes, his review is more systematic. It's just that the notes of the last book of "Modern Chinese History" were not written by my father, but by my mother's handwriting.

And Wen Min, who guards a teacher Ming by his side, is even more blessed. On November 20, 1977, Wen Min gave birth to a boy weighing seven pounds and six taels in the county hospital. This is really a joy for Mr. Ming and his wife.

But for Wen Min, it is both happy and sad.

When she feels her baby's fetal movement for the first time, her mood is different! She stroked her abdomen with her hand, as if she felt the reminder given to her by the child: Mom, I'm awake! - Mom, I'm here!

She often stroked her belly, in the yard, by the stream, on the path in the woods, and sang softly:

Little swallows, dressed in flowers, come here every spring. I asked why the swallows came? - Baby makes me so happy!

She sings beautiful songs, and she hopes that the child in her womb will feel the mother's love in her singing every day!

Whenever this happens, she wants Dong Lixing to be by her side and feel the throbbing of this bloodline in person! I want him to be able to give the baby a little father's love and warmth! - But, she held back!

She adapted the lyrics of the foreign song "Baby" and sang it to her children,β€”β€” she also sang it to herself:

Babyβ€”β€”, your dad is struggling,β€”β€” my baby! He sleeps day and night,β€”β€” my darling! Babyβ€”β€”!

On November 20, 1977, Wen Min gave birth to a boy in the county hospital - seven pounds and six taels.
