The third grandmother and I both looked at my mother with wide eyes, and the third grandmother sent so many people to inquire, and it has been determined that there is no young man born on July 15, how will my mother know.

Seeing me and the third grandmother like this, my mother made up her mind and said, "I know who was born on July 15!" ”

"Really?" The third grandmother looked at my mother, still a little unconvinced.

My mother glanced at me solemnly and said to the third grandmother, "The person born on July 15 is a man. ”

Yes? My third grandmother and I both grew up mouths, and I wondered if I had heard it wrong.

No, how could it be me, everyone in the village knows that I and Yishui were born around midnight, according to the midwife at that time, I was at 11:59 on July 14, and Yishui was at 0:10 on July 15.

"Mother, could you be mistaken? Am I not from July 14th? "I asked my mother.

"At that time, I and a water lady found a midwife, but a male father gave the midwife a basket of eggs, at that time the midwife has been busy with my side, after a boy came out, a water lady there was heavy bleeding, the midwife did not care about looking at the wall clock immediately, she was busy at the time, after a while I remembered to see the clock, so, the midwife said that a man was born on July 14, just the midwife's calculation. I remember very well at the time, it was true that Yishui cried before a man, and when a man was born, I vaguely looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was a little after twelve o'clock. ”

"What? Mother, what do you mean, is the midwife wrong at the time? ”

"Yes, it was a while since a boy was born, and the midwife remembered to come to see the wall clock, because her attention was not on Yishui Niang's body at that time, so she didn't pay attention to Yishui at all."

"Then you mean that a man was actually born after Yishui was born?"

"Hmmm! The two children, who should be after midnight, are both July 15. The mother nodded.

The third grandmother looked at my mother's expression, not like she was talking nonsense, "Why did you say such a big thing as your birthday?" ”

The mother was a little uncomfortable, and said hesitantly, "You also know, what day is the fifteenth day of July, I hid a man's birthday, and even, I didn't even tell a man's father." ”

July 15 is the Midyear Festival, which is the day when the underworld releases all the ghosts, and the people sacrifice to the ghosts.

The reason why Yishui is not welcomed in the village is not only because he has no father, but also because of his birthday.

However, this is too outrageous, according to my mother, I was also born on July 15.

But my mother, why did she bring up this matter at this time, could it be that I should marry a widow?

The third grandmother didn't speak immediately, frowned, and finally said to my mother, "A man's mother, this is a major matter related to the village, a man is still young, and he has studied in college outside, and he has not married yet, if he really lets a man do this, he will suffer too much." ”

I listened to the conversation between my mother and the third grandmother on the side, and my heart went up and down, this sudden news caught me off guard, I grew so big, and I actually changed my birthday.

My mother didn't squeak anymore, and the third grandmother continued, "If you don't want a man to do this, just hide a man's birthday, the three of us will know about it, and I won't say it to you!" Anyway, if I let a man do this, not to mention that a man can't get over this in his heart, so let this child go, and I don't feel bad in my heart. ”

"But, but in the village—" The mother replied, she knew that this was a major matter related to the draft of the village, but she was reluctant to give up her son.

I sat on the kang in a daze, my heart was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, the sweet and sour were all melted together, and I suddenly understood the feeling of a water at that time, if I married a woman I didn't recognize, or a comatose widow, I was not happy in my heart.

Besides, Yishui still had Xiaoxia at that time, and he really made a huge sacrifice.

"A man's mother, you don't have to rush to reply to me about this, if a man is not happy, let's mention this birthday and it's over, the children are older, and they will have their own lives in the future, we can't be strong, the child is an example, even if it is already in the red, if you can't get over that hurdle in your heart, it's still useless!"

"You're right, but—" The mother stopped talking again.

"The village chief of Shangshui Village said that no matter who you find this time, you must get a round house this time!"

It was like I had been struck in the head, and it hurt so badly that I had to have sex with a widow who was unconscious.

One water, one water, you are gone, why did you leave me with such a big problem.

The third grandmother said to my mother, "You don't have to rush to reply to me about this, I still say the same thing, what does it depend on the meaning of a man, the twisted melon is not sweet!" Then he said to me, "Even if you don't want to do this, the third grandmother won't blame you." ”

After the third grandmother said this, she turned around and walked out of the yard.

I lay on the kang, very aggrieved in my heart, I thought that I would go back to the village, see my parents, and treat the water and it would be over, how could I have such a lot of things, if I didn't come back, I wouldn't have a conflict with Qian Dazhuang, Yishui wouldn't help me, Xiaoxia wouldn't be ruined, Qian Dazhuang wouldn't die, Yishui would still be a son-in-law in Shangshui Village, but when I came back, these things happened, and the whole village problem was detained on my head.

If I don't come back, I can't get my blood, the water won't be cured, it's wrong to come back, it's wrong not to come back, what should I do?

I was dizzy in my head, and I lay on the kang all of a sudden, and my whole body was hot and hot, I thought it was the relationship of blood jade, and I knew that my mother put a towel on my head, and I knew that I had a fever.

The mother wiped her tears on the side, "Don't blame the mother, if you don't say this, my mother's heart will not go." ”

I closed my eyes and didn't want to speak.

"Yishui, this kid is in trouble, if the matter is really resolved, I will think about hiding this matter, but if you think about it, Yishui is gone now, this is a major matter related to the village, if it is really a mother-" She couldn't go on.

Although I didn't speak, I knew that if I hid the important matter of drinking water in the village like this, I couldn't afford to get through this hurdle in my heart.

"Yishui's child has a hard life, and it's not easy for you, you finally went to college, and you got into such a thing, don't blame your mother, really don't blame it!"

"Mother, I don't blame you, really! Mother, but, I feel aggrieved, since the death of my uncle, my father is not a father, my uncle has become a father, and now I am told that my birthday has always been a lie, and I have let Yishui and Xiaoxia have such a big deal, when I am outside, people who are related, and people who have nothing to do with it, have given their lives for me, you say, I-" My tears couldn't stop flowing.

"What? You said that there are people outside who died because of you? ”

"Hmm!" I think of Luo Hua, I think of Luo Qi, and the boss lady, whether it is the official door, the official door, or even the daughter-in-law of the official, all of them died because of me, whether it is a love debt or a life debt, I have really built too much in my life.

"My mother, like your third grandmother, doesn't force you, but when you're older, it's time for you to make your own decisions!" My mother got up and went to change my towel.

I know in my heart that if my mother keeps hiding the matter of my birthday, the pressure will be on her, but when she says this, the pressure is transferred to me, and now the decision is up to me, and the reason why my mother puts the decision on me is because I am a man and I should grow up.

However, even for men, this is a problem!

Since the blood jade came up, whether I met a black bear, the eight formations of the official gate, or a resentful ghost in the back mountain of Luomen Town, I have never had a fever, and this fever may be really on fire in my heart.

My body was hot and hot, I burned in a daze, and I fell asleep for a while, and the morning passed like this. In the afternoon, when my mind cleared up a little, my mother came over and handed me something.
