Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments for yin and yang, and two instruments give birth to four images for the sun, too yin, less yang, and less yin. Our planet is one of them, and the story takes place in one of the remaining three.

The father said that he had exchanged a pot of mutton for his mother's heart.

Mother smiled, in those difficult times, it was already good to be fed. How many people can have meat to eat? What's more, it's full of meat, and I've never seen a full pot of meat in a big pot.

As he spoke, he went back to that era. The parents met on a blind date, and at that time there were no such good conditions as now, so the man asked the woman to go to a café or a western restaurant, and used a good environment to cultivate the mood and gradually develop feelings.

That year, my father was twenty-seven years old, and he was a shy guy. In his hometown, it is rare to be unmarried at the age of twenty-seven, so the family hurriedly introduced the partner to his father, but the father always dared not meet any of the girls who were introduced. Mother was the opposite, and according to the occasional anecdotes of her youth, my aunts occasionally mentioned that she was an out-and-out tomboy, bold and uninhibited, and one of the most troublesome in my grandmother's family.

After twists and turns of introduction, the simple information of the two of them was finally put in each other's hands. But how could the shy father be embarrassed to take the initiative to contact his mother, the mother was left and left and didn't believe it, and in a fit of anger, she went to her father's location alone according to some information provided by the introducer. She wanted to ask in person, even if she didn't see it, she would send a message, what was going on like this.

Mother rubbed on delicate powder, put on lipstick, and combed two mischievous braids. After a two-hour bus ride, I endured the pain of motion sickness and embarked on the road to find my father to confront him. It was a county seat, and a main street divided into two forks was the layout of the entire county. Even if the people who live there don't know each other, they must have mutual friends, and if they want to climb the relationship, they can definitely climb it.

The mother called the lady on the street, said the father's name, and asked where it was. The eldest mother is also enthusiastic, and without saying a word, she personally took her mother on the journey. I learned that I was here on a blind date, and I slapped my thigh with both hands, alas, oh my mother, that dare to be good. Along the way, I chattered about the situation of my father's house, and my mother remembered very clearly that his family was famous for its good life in our area, and he couldn't eat meat all year round, and he stewed meat every day. As he spoke, he sniffed, and you can find his house by following the smell of meat.

Mother had indeed smelled this strong smell for a long time, and her stomach was a little grunting. After thinking about it, maybe people live so well because they don't like their family background, so I can't help but retreat, but I still have to ask for clarification.

There were a lot of children along the way, singing a unique song: I lost a penny on the side of the road. Then stared curiously at this big sister who didn't know where she came from and what she was going to do, the naughty one would pretend to be shy, bite her fingers, tilt her head and ask, big sister, where are you from? The mother smiled and bent down to answer, but he took out the fingers from his mouth and rubbed them on his mother's face. Elaborate fandel was also spent.

The eldest lady took her mother to the door and left. When I knocked on the door, my mother could even hear the sound of stewed meat in the pot, and the liquid in her mouth became more unconsciously, so she quickly swallowed her saliva hard. A young man opened the door, and his mother explained that he was here on a blind date, and the young man's face turned into chili oil on the spot, and he stood at the door and began to be stunned. Fortunately, my grandmother arrived in time and happily brought my mother home.

It was time to eat, a very spacious courtyard, a big pot was steaming in the middle of the fire, next to a table of eight immortals, a large basin on top was full of meat, my grandfather, an uncle and three aunts were sitting around, not far away, a big yellow dog wagged its tail and waited for the bones to fly down from the table. Grandma interrupted their feast to introduce the guests. This time it can be fried, who has ever seen the blind date woman run to the man's house without saying hello, and even her own family doesn't know. The aunt seemed to be choked by the meat and kept coughing, and the shirtless uncle hurriedly pulled the stunned father back to the house to put on his coat, kicked over the stool, and ran all the way to the smoke and dust.

In short, the mother finally sat on the side of the table of the eight immortals, looking at the tender food but didn't know how to start, she had never seen such a wild way to eat. The basin is full of leg bones, and the whole bones carry large pieces of flesh, and the smallest bone is the length of a forearm, which requires two hands to hold the bone and gnaw on it. When he was in distress, a piece of boneless flesh appeared in front of him, which had been shaved off by his father with a small razor, and his mother said that his father was like a bride in a newlywed cave.

It's delicious, that's what my mother said. So she forgot her original purpose, and only ate a bulging stomach and drank a bowl of broth, not noticing that her father was quietly watching her and accidentally shaving her hand with a razor. But my grandmother noticed that when I came home, my mother's pocket was stuffed with all kinds of food stamps, oil stamps, and shopping mall stamps.

It was only then that my mother remembered that my father couldn't be a mute, right? If he is dumb, his family is the emperor, and I will not marry.

When I got home, my grandmother learned that my mother went to my father's house alone, and I heard that my grandfather went to the market to buy two feather dusters. But the mother was like a nobody, and the next day she found an introducer and began to inquire about her father's situation, and the most important thing was that she wanted to make sure that he was dumb or not.

The father, of course, was not dumb, but nervous and did not know how to speak. My mother also learned about the situation of my father's family, my grandfather was half a herdsman, he raised more than 50 sheep, and half an acre of land, and he was friendly with some herdsmen, so the meat at home was always piled up, and there was still a situation where he couldn't eat it and make it into jerky. Well, that's what the mother inquired about.

A week later, my grandparents came to my grandfather's house. A year later, his parents got married, and he guessed that this year was also vigorous and earth-shattering, and finally his father finally showed the courage to marry his mother by threatening him by jumping into the river. On the night of the wedding, she remembered that the nearest river that could drown people would take five or six hours by car.

More than a year later, it is said that there is a lot of snow. Every winter is the most nervous time for grandpa, because sheep are born in winter, many sheep will not take care of the lambs after giving birth, and many are crushed or frozen to death, so grandpa must always keep an eye on the movement in the sheepfold. Even though it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, he was very sure that a baby lamb would be born on this night.

The family did not dare to take it lightly. Under the coercion of my grandmother, my father and uncle made a comfortable stretcher for my mother, who had a big belly, to lie down, and the two of them carried the stretcher and took my mother for a walk in the yard. Slippery snowy roads? The second aunt shovels snow. Cold? My sister-in-law has to take care of six stoves and six pots of hot water. The eldest aunt was originally a doctor, but at this time she helplessly accompanied the three midwives in the room to wait for the opportunity, thinking about her youngest son, absent-minded, and was reprimanded the most severely.

"Cheer me up, is your husband a waste, he can't take care of his own children." Grandma nodded her aunt's head.

"Mom, the due date is the tenth day of the first month, and it is only the second day of the new year, and the midwife also said that today is still a little early." The aunt was very helpless.

"I said it's today, and that's today. My grandson can't be the first in a year, he has to be the second. "Grandma is domineering. The three midwives were going home, who wanted to spend here for the New Year, who wanted grandma to push open the door of the storage room, and the three skinned whole sheep were placed in the front, and the midwives went back to the house to eat melon seeds.

"Just go to the hospital, you have to have a midwife, and you need three." The aunt complained.

"What do you know, you know." Grandma had a worried look on her face.

"Then you don't have to go out like that." The aunt was not convinced.

"Walk outside, my grandson will be born soon."

"How do you know it's a grandson, not a granddaughter?" The aunt muttered.

"Say it again!" Grandma raised her slap.

Mother, when did she enjoy such treatment, from time to time on the stretcher twisted, shook and swayed, if it weren't for the loose robe, she would even want to raise Erlang's legs and hum a little song. Look back at the big-bellied goats in the sheepfold, they are too far from being treated, and they are still towering with their noses blowing their beards and being arrogant. In the courtyard, the hot water in the six cauldrons was misty, and the poor big yellow dog squatted in the corner and chirped.

Sometimes things are just magical, and the mother, who was full of interest a moment ago to see the snow all over the sky without touching my body, and was hearty and content, without any warning before childbirth, began to hurt in her stomach. And the momentum was like a bamboo, accompanied by the mother's sudden scream, the frightened father almost threw the stretcher, and there was a commotion in the sheepfold.

The relatively quiet courtyard suddenly jumps with chickens and dogs. The sister-in-law was so frightened by the screaming that she knocked over the hot water on the stove, and a large mist rose in the yard. A lot of hot water was poured on Grandpa, who was busy avoiding it and accidentally planted it in the sheepfold. The uncle who was carrying the stretcher in front wanted to look back to see what was wrong, but he was hit by the second aunt who tripped over the broom when he threw away the broom and wanted to check on his mother's condition, and the father desperately tried to stabilize the shaking stretcher.

The stretcher was unstable and the pain intensified, and the mother was in pain, scared and dizzy.

"What's wrong?" Uncle turned his head and turned half of his body as well.

"Don't move, don't move." The father carried the stretcher and followed the uncle's half body around.

"Ah~~~~~~~~~~ it hurts~~~~~~~~~~~ "Mother."

"I didn't move." Uncle is in a hurry.

"Don't turn around!!" The father was angry and angry.

"Oh." The honest uncle quickly turned his body back, and the father hurriedly followed. But the uncle's speed was too fast, and the ground was still a little slippery after all, and the father made his butt to the ground, and the stretcher crackled and broke, and the mother lay on the ground, letting out an earth-shattering cry with echoes.

The echo was from the grandmother who saw this scene, and the aunt hurriedly ran over to help her mother up, and watched her uncle be driven by the huge force of her parents falling to the ground, fall backwards, and sit on her mother's head.

The big yellow dog in the corner barked vigorously.

The uncle who fell to the ground blamed the second aunt who pounced on him in his heart, so he pushed the second aunt out with the greatest strength, just on the route that the eldest aunt rushed over, so the two of them rolled on the ground together.

Eventually, the mother was carried back to the room, and the two midwives were busy, and the other was in charge of the work. The rest of the people squatted at the door of the mother's room, listening to the reprimand of the grandmother holding the feather duster in front of them, and the deafening and earth-shattering screams of the mother because of the pain, and the indescribable sadness.

"Before my grandson was born, you gave me a squat here." This is grandma's will.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for my mother to give birth to me, anyway, before the third day of the Lunar New Year, I was born, and it took me six or seven hours. I heard from my sister-in-law that the first time my father hugged me was in a squatting position.

Although there were twists and turns, things went smoothly, and the mother and son were safe. The aunt, who was worried about her youngest son, hurried home. As soon as I arrived at the mouth of the alley, I heard a heart-rending cry. Hurriedly opened the door, only to see the house brightly lit and the youngest son sitting at the dining table shivering, and the husband holding the cold stove wailing and crying, intermittently saying, I can't make a fire.

On this side, everyone was immersed in joy, but a midwife took her grandmother away and whispered something she didn't want others to know.
