Chapter 9: Mother's Leg Disease (1)
Chen Feng's leg was caused by two reasons.
One reason is that on the third day of Hao Jiali's birth, her father Hao Guang was recruited by people who came to recruit workers from the coal mine.
At this time, Cao Juying was only in her forties, less than 50 years old, and still had to work in the production team.
At Cao Juying's age, she has to do what she can in the production team.
For example, drying millet.
Beat the sun-dried pods with a wooden stick to extract the beans.
Chop hogweed.
Cook with guillotine, dried sweet potato vines, feed pigs, and so on.
Everything that doesn't have to be picked or carried in the production team is done by these elderly people, so that Cao Juying has no time to serve Chen Feng in confinement, and Cao Juying has to earn her own work to support herself.
Chen Feng had no choice, and in the first week after giving birth to Hao Jiali, she had to get up to cook, wash clothes, and take care of the children.
Among them, washing clothes and washing children's diapers are all washed with hot water, and it should be taboo not to use cold water during the confinement, which Chen Feng has done.
What other Chen Feng did was no different from what a peasant woman who did not give birth, what was blowing, feeding pigs, boiling pigs, going up the mountain to collect firewood, going to her own self-reserved field to sow seeds and harvest in the season, what can be done, everyone is busy, no one can take care of Chen Feng, Chen Feng only has to do what she does herself, she doesn't care that the postpartum blood on her body has not been drained, the pelvic bone squeezed during childbirth has not been reset, and the contraction of the zi palace is not completely busy.
A month later.
Chen Feng slowly recovered these, although there were no sequelae, but at that time Chen Feng was young and had a good physique, plus Hao Jiali's father was still newly married, Hao Jiali's father had just entered the city, and he had not yet transformed into the kindness and simplicity of the countrymen, and there was a 358 yuan sent back to Chen Feng through the post office every month, Chen Feng could use the money from her husband's bill of exchange to buy chickens, ducks and pork to supplement her weak body after giving birth, so her body was not affected.
When his son Hao Jiaming was born three years later, Hao Jiali's father had completely deteriorated, that is, he became more and more unemotional for Chen Feng, and he became more and more advocacious of urban life.
And Chen Feng had to add a son Hao Jiaming to the family, because the countryside has to give birth to a boy, one has to work hard to earn work, and the two rural women quarrel If the other party has no boy, the first sentence is to scold you for being a "desperate guy", in Hao Jiali's hometown, no son who is a parent can't raise his head and speak loudly for the rest of his life, Hao Jiali's father is in this state of mind so that Chen Feng is pregnant with a second child.
After the birth of his son Hao Jiaming, Chen Feng worked the same as when he gave birth to Hao Jiali in the first half of his confinement.
Chen Feng thought that as long as the nutrition could keep up, it would be okay to do some work.
So, Chen Feng sent a telegram from the post office to her husband saying that she had given birth to a son, and hoped that her husband could send money home to buy some nutritional supplements for herself, but Chen Feng never expected that her husband received the telegram and was not surprised at all, let alone send it back.
At this time, Hao Jiali's father has been in the city for three years, and his living habits have already begun to spend lavishly on a month's salary and there is no money left, two months before Chen Fengsheng gave birth to his son, it was the last time Hao Jiali's father took the initiative to send twenty yuan home, and the twenty yuan was still sent under the persuasion of Cao Juying.
Cao Juying saw that Chen Feng's belly was too big, and Chen Feng's feet were so swollen that her fingers pressed down the instep of her feet one by one, like a dimple of flesh, and her swollen feet made Chen Feng unable to move, even Chen Qing wanted to take care of her sister despite the opposition of the production team members, and she couldn't do the same work as Cao Juying.
Chen Feng can't go to work, if he can't work, he won't have work, and if he can't work, he won't be able to distribute the materials of the production team.
In addition, when her younger brother Hao Jiaming was born two months later, Hao Jiali wore old clothes and girls' clothes, some of which could continue to be worn by her younger brother, and some of which were too fancy, Chen Feng thought that she had to buy two sets of boys' clothes for her son to be worthy of her son.
This time, after Chen Feng bought two sets of clothes for his son Hao Jiaming, the twenty yuan on his body was spent nothing.
Chen Feng spent all the money, she herself is still in confinement, Hao Jiali wants to eat, her son Hao Jiaming wants to feed, Chen Feng can't even eat herself, there is still enough milk to feed her son Hao Jiaming, a week after her son was born, Chen Feng still hasn't had milk.
The experienced elders in the village used a lot of folk earthwork to promote milk for Chen Feng, such as: daylily boiled water, small shell meat stewed rooster flowers cut out from the bottom of the mud of the fish pond, and then milk grass to make medicine and drink, etc., etc., all of which have no effect.
Seeing that he was dizzy from hunger, he kept shouting: "Mom! I'm hungry, I want to eat," Hao Jiali, and listening to Hao Jiaming, who couldn't speak and was so hungry that he cried "wow", Chen Feng gritted his teeth and wiped his tears, and then took a pen, paper, and a basin in the village from door to door, borrowing rice and eggs while counting them, and said to these villagers: "Please rest assured, I will definitely pay back these things, even if I can't afford to pay them back, when my two children grow up, my children will definitely pay them back for you." ”
The villagers all believed what Chen Feng said, Chen Feng's honest duty in the village, and Hao Jiali's father's dislike was slowly known by everyone, the villagers still sympathized with Chen Feng and wanted to help Chen Feng, even if some villagers did not have extra rations at home, but they were all in the countryside, and the family had the main labor to earn, everyone's idea was that they were all descendants of the surname Hao, and they were all a family to help each other, and they couldn't watch Chen Feng's mother and son starve to death, so they had to do their best.
Chen Feng thanked these kind-hearted people in the family.
And Cao Juying can only be angry, and scolded her son vigorously, she has no other way, her son entered the coal mine and became a worker, and her son's heart was also blackened by coal, she, a mother, can't have a son who has started a family and started a business, and slapped his son twice like when his son was disobedient when he was a child, and Cao Juying couldn't teach Hao Jiali's father, Hao Jiali's father didn't go home all year round, Cao Juying only comforted Chen Feng, begging Chen Feng to pull up the two children of the Hao family, saying that the children would be blessed when they grew up, It's worth the pain now.
Chen Feng also thought so, after Chen Feng borrowed these food from the villagers, he had milk to feed his son Hao Jiaming, Chen Feng survived the first half of the month, but the second half of the month had no food at home.
Chen Feng also thought about it, he couldn't always be cheeky to go to the villagers to borrow, borrowed too much, the villagers themselves didn't have to eat and didn't have to borrow, this family finally had to rely on themselves, so Chen Feng was forced to be helpless, finally, in the normal confinement is a month's rest and recovery time, there is still half a month left, Chen Feng dragged his weak body to the production team to sign up for work.
After Chen Feng left work, he put two-year-old Hao Jiali on the production team's grain field to be taken care of by Cao Juying, and he carried his son Hao Jiaming to work in the fields on his back.
When Chen Fenggang went to work on the production team, he was just in time for the seedlings in the farmland to turn yellow and mature, that is, when the seedlings could be harvested in about ten days and eight days.
At this time, there is no work to be done in the field, so the production team organizes all the team members to go up the mountain to accumulate fertilizer, that is, to reclaim the wasteland and plane the turf mud, and then light a fire to burn the turf mud into ashes together, this mortar is the best organic fertilizer in the field, and these fertilizers are used to grow miscellaneous grains in the field.
The seeds of miscellaneous grains grow with these fertilizers, and when the harvest comes, the production team members all smiles on their faces.
Therefore, the production team has a very heavy task, everyone who works is divided into tasks, and they are not allowed to call it a day if they do not complete it, Chen Feng also received as much work as everyone in order to support a family of three and the money and grain that he owed to the villagers.
However, Chen Feng didn't expect that during the work, her son Hao Jiaming would have to feed him two or three times a morning.
Because milk can easily make the baby hungry, Chen Feng wants to do more work, and his son Hao Jiaming cries impatiently on Chen Feng's back, Chen Feng has to take off the strap and let his son come down to feed him until he is full, which will definitely delay time.
After feeding his son Chen Feng, there is still a lot of work left, and other people's have already done a lot of work, Chen Feng can only hurry up and desperately complete the labor tasks assigned to him by the group, even if he sweats like rain, even if the two dustpans he is carrying are piled high with turf ash fertilizer, he is so overweight that Chen Feng walks up and sways and falls down and gets up and gets up again, and falls down, so that Chen Feng's arms and legs are full of blue and purple, Chen Feng gritted his teeth and endured it.
Chen Feng was afraid that he would not be able to complete the task, so he asked the group to deduct his own work points, and if he deducted his work points, he would not be able to distribute the materials needed by the family. In the end, Chen Feng was so hungry that everyone left after work, her hand waved a hoe and waved a hand of blood blisters, and she was exposed to the sun after twelve o'clock, so hungry that she dragged her tired body home like she was about to fall apart.
Chen Feng finally earned half of the day's work, and the rice for the family to cook porridge was earned.
If you go to work again in the afternoon, you can earn enough rice to cook at home, after all, Hao Jiali's sisters and brothers are still young, and the amount of food is not large, but if you go to work again in the afternoon, Chen Feng will be so tired that she has to sleep on the ground like a bed, Chen Feng's legs are so sore that she walks and trembles, and she has to kneel down at any time and no longer listen to her call, Chen Feng's blood blisters on the palms of her hands are afraid that the hoe handle will wear through the handle, so that she can't go to work tomorrow, and the cloth is wrapped as tightly as the leggings of a marching soldier.
