Since Jia Zhang's return and back, the compound has fallen silent again.

Although there was also noise, it was all trivial things, and everyone didn't pay attention to it after the quarrel, and the quarrelsome people quickly reconciled.

When Zheng Zhendong was idle and bored, he tutored He Yushui, Xu Fengling, and his sister Zheng Xinyi in the courtyard.

The children from other families in the yard came to listen, and Zheng Zhendong also welcomed it, but after listening to it for half an hour, these little children ran out to play, and their minds were not on studying at all.

……

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, and there were not many dishes at home, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but feel anxious.

Usually it's just the New Year, but this year even grandma is here, if it's too cold, it won't make people laugh.

Zheng Zhendong originally planned to go out hunting, catch a fish, and get some meat for the family, but Zheng's mother didn't allow it, so he had to give up.

He was extremely bored and had nothing to do, and after sending the prescription he bought from the dark market to his fourth grandfather Wang Yanhui, he took back a few medical books from there and prepared to read them to pass the time.

After Zheng Zhendong got up and finished exercising that morning, he was about to go to the middle courtyard for dinner, and then came back to read a book.

At this time, a young man in a railway police uniform ran into the front yard out of breath, and when he saw Zheng Zhendong, he asked: "Lao Jia, inquire, is there a family surnamed Zheng in this courtyard?" ”

"I just, what's the matter?" Zheng Zhendong hurriedly replied.

"You're Zheng Zhendong, right? I heard your brother mention you, your sister-in-law is about to give birth, and your brother asked me to report to your family! ”

"Ahh My sister-in-law is going to give birth? Thanks thanks! By the way, what's your last name? What do you call it? Zheng Zhendong asked as he led people to the middle courtyard.

"My name is Song Hongliang, you can call me Xiao Song, anyway, that's what Captain Zheng calls me!" Song Hongliang followed Zheng Zhendong back on the way to the middle courtyard.

"I'll call you Brother Song, you work with my eldest brother?"

"Hmmm! Yes yes! I work with Captain Zheng! ”

"Mom, Mom! Come on! My sister-in-law is about to give birth, and my eldest brother has asked someone to report it! Zheng Zhendong had just walked into the middle courtyard, and he didn't talk to Song Hongliang at this time, and immediately shouted loudly.

"What? Huairu is going to give birth? No, isn't it just a day away? When Zheng's mother heard Zheng Zhendong's shouting, she immediately ran out of the house and asked suspiciously.

"Mom, don't worry about this, Mom, this is Song Hongliang, who works with my eldest brother, little Brother Song! Big brother asked him to report to us! Zheng Zhendong hurriedly said to Zheng's mother.

"Xiao Song, right? Thank you so much, hurry up and sit at home! When Mother Zheng heard the introduction, she hurriedly said politely.

Song Hongliang saw that Zheng's mother was polite, and immediately said, "No, no, aunt!" I'm not going in, let's go to the hospital as soon as possible! ”

At this time, Grandma Zheng, who heard the shouting, also came out of the house and shouted to Zheng's mother: "Cuifen, what are you still doing in a daze?" Don't hurry up and grab your things, let's go to the hospital! ”

"Yes, yes, mother, you're right! I don't know what to do with this excitement, I'll go, I'll go, the third child, you're also busy! ”

After that, Zheng's mother walked quickly into the house, Zheng Zhendong heard the call for help, first said to Song Hongliang to wait a while, and then walked quickly towards the house.

After a while, the mother and son walked out of the house with large bags and small wrappers.

"Third child, put things here first, you go to the front yard first to see if your Uncle Zhao is out of the car? If not, let him give us a ride! Mother Zheng walked out of the house and immediately ordered.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go!"

After Zheng Zhendong put down his things, he immediately ran towards the front yard.

As soon as he arrived in the front yard, he saw that Zhao Dali was about to go out, Zheng Zhendong immediately stopped him and said, "Uncle Zhao, I have to trouble you again today, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, please send us to the hospital, thank you!" ”

"Is there such a thing? So what are you waiting for? Let's go! Zhao Dali looked stunned and immediately said.

"You wait at the door, I'll them!"

Seeing Zhao urging vigorously, Zheng Zhendong said as he ran towards the middle courtyard.

At this time, Zheng's mother, Zheng's grandmother, Zheng Xinyi, and Song Hongliang were walking to the front yard with their things.

Zheng Zhendong took the burden from Grandma Zheng and said, "Mom, Uncle Zhao hasn't left yet, let's hurry up!" ”

After a while, a few people came to the door, and Zhao Dali had already ridden the tricycle to the door, waiting for a few people.

So Zheng Zhendong rode a bicycle with Song Hongliang, Grandma Zheng, Zheng's mother, and Zheng Xinyi on a tricycle, all the way to the No. 1 Railway Hospital on Shuangbeizifen Road, Yangfangdian, Haiding District.

On the way to the hospital, Zheng Zhendong suddenly asked Zheng's mother, who was sitting on a tricycle, "Mom, don't you have to go to work today?" ”

"Don't worry, I've asked the pillar to ask me for leave, you don't have to worry about this, third!" Mother Zheng replied very casually.

Zheng Zhendong listened to the words, and suddenly remembered that he had asked Zheng's mother to inquire about the situation of Liu Lan's family before, and he didn't know if she had done it, so he asked.

"Mom, I asked you to inquire about Liu Lan's family before, did you ask someone? I forgot to ask you these days! ”

"Asked, asked, why didn't you ask! After you tell me, I'll ask someone the next day! Zheng Mu replied repeatedly.

Zheng Zhendong rode a bicycle and couldn't help leaning in front of the tricycle and said, "Then why didn't you tell me?" I've been hanging on to this! So what's going on in her family? Tell me about it! ”

Thinking of the situation of Liu Lan's family, Zheng's mother sighed first, and then said: "The situation of this Liu Lan's family is really not very good, her parents are not in good health, they can't do any heavy work, and there are two younger brothers and two younger sisters at home, both of whom are not yet adults and can't work, to be honest, the burden is really big!" ”

Zheng Zhendong listened to Zheng's mother's introduction, and was stunned and surprised: "This burden is too heavy!" Did you tell Brother Zhuzi? ”

"Anyway, after hearing it, the pillar said that you should think about it, I think this matter is a bit hanging!"

After listening to Zheng's mother's words, Zheng Zhendong nodded knowingly, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to pedal hard.

……

At this time, the neighbors of the compound were discussing.

"Aunt Wang, did you hear what the Zheng family said in the morning?"

"Three mothers, I heard, I heard! Xiao Dongzi shouted so loudly, how could I not hear it! Aunt Wang, who lived next door to Jia's house, immediately replied.

"Aren't you surprised? Do you think something happened to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family? Otherwise, why would you go to the hospital to give birth? The third mother, Yang Ruihua, couldn't help but say what she was secretly figuring out.

"The three mothers, what you said is really reasonable, you said that which of us didn't find a midwife at home and gave birth, this Zheng family's eldest daughter-in-law is so expensive? I went to the hospital, I don't know what happened! ”

"Yes, yes, second aunt, you are right, I think so too!"

……

Aunt Wang has always remembered the favor because Zheng Zhendong has always kept in mind the human affection because Zheng Zhendong has been sending crucian carp to her family before, and she can't help but defend herself: "Hey, hey, okay, don't talk nonsense, people have to go to the hospital to give birth to a child?" You can do it! If this is heard by the Zheng family, there will be your good fruit to eat! ”

A group of women who were chatting energetically, when they heard Aunt Wang say this, they couldn't help but shrink their necks one by one, and they couldn't help but be afraid.

After all, there are cars in front and ruts in the back, and the Yin Jian of the Jia family is not far away, and everyone doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the Jia family.

But the words that can be said are like water spilled out, and they can't take it back if they want to, and several people can't help but look at each other, and then look at the three aunts Yang Ruihua at the same time, and the second aunt even spoke.

"Three mothers, you brought up this matter first, and if the Zheng family wants to find it when the time comes, they will look for you first!"

At this time, when the three mothers heard this, they were not to be outdone, and replied: "It's true that I started first, but the most ugly thing to say is you, and you don't want to run when the time comes!" ”

"By the way, there are a few of you, you want me to take care of it all by myself, anyway, none of you want to run, hum!"

"Three mothers, what you said is not right, this matter has nothing to do with me, we just echoed a few words!"

"Yes, yes! It's none of our business, we're not going to wade into this troubled water! ”

……

"Alright, don't make any noise! What's there to be noisy about? ”

Mrs. Lin, who heard the movement, walked from the backyard to the middle courtyard, shouted at a group of women, and then walked in front of everyone and couldn't help but scold.

"I think you people are really idle, and you can quarrel over this?"

"One by one, I know how to chew my wife's tongue all day long, and I have a short family in the east and a short family in the west, and I don't have anything serious at all!"

"Why don't you want to make some money to support your family? Is your family rich? ”

Everyone was reprimanded by Mrs. Lin for a few words, and couldn't help but show a look of shame, and Aunt Wang couldn't help but step forward to persuade at this time.

"Old lady, don't be angry, there's no need to be like them, they are also unintentional, don't be surprised!"

Mrs. Lin nodded at Aunt Wang, and said with a smile: "Wang's family, you are a good one!" I heard what you just said! ”

What did they say? If this is heard by the Zheng family, can you not trouble them? ”

"Only you not only didn't agree with them, but also hurriedly stopped them, just because of this, my wife has to praise you, you are really good, much better than these long-tongued women!"

Aunt Wang stepped forward to help Mrs. Lin, and then put on a smiling face and said, "Old lady, you praise me, I'm embarrassed to be praised by you, you really won the award!" ”

"I'm also good at chewing the root of my tongue, but the Zheng family is different, we can't talk nonsense, right?"

"It's not that I'm afraid that the Zheng family has something to do with it and retaliate against us after hearing about it, but people have to do things with their conscience!"

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the Zheng family's little Dongzi, people haven't given things to the big guys before, right?"

"Since we have the benefits of others, don't talk bad about others behind our backs, not to mention that we are still looking forward to something happening at other people's homes, which is really undeserved!"

"Old lady, are you saying that I am right?"

Mrs. Lin was still smiling, and she raised her hand and patted Aunt Wang's hand a few times, and said, "Wang's family, you really said that I was in my heart, I think so too, how many of them, hey......!" ”

Old Mrs. Lin sighed as she spoke, looked at the few women in front of her and shook her head, and fell silent.

When everyone saw her like this, they couldn't help but be curious, and they spoke one after another.

"What's wrong with you, old lady? What's the point of talking about it? ”

"Yes, old lady, didn't you train us just now, why are you still sighing?"

"It's not like that, you just reprimanded us, we didn't refute you, what's wrong with you?"

……

Seeing that everyone cared about herself, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but say worriedly: "Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine, I'm just afraid that you will talk like this nonsense and lawlessness, and one day you will get into a ruthless stubble, you really have no good fruit to eat!" ”

When everyone heard her words, they were also scared, and then promised again and again that they would never talk nonsense in the future.

……

Just when a group of old ladies in the hospital were chewing on the root of their tongues, Zheng Zhendong and his party had already arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital.

"Zhenguo, has my granddaughter-in-law given birth?"

"Boss, what's the situation with Huairu? Did you give birth? ”

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Captain, I've brought someone!"

When they saw Zheng Zhenguo walking back and forth in the corridor at the door of the delivery room, everyone stepped forward and asked.

"Grandma, Mom! You're all here! “

Zheng Zhenguo greeted first, and then said with a worried face.

"Huairu has been in for almost an hour, and she hasn't been born yet, and I don't know what's going on inside!"

Seeing the worried look on the eldest son Zheng Zhenguo's face, Zheng's mother hurriedly comforted: "Boss, it's okay, don't worry, some people can't give birth for several hours, this is all normal, Huairu's body is so good, it's okay!" ”

"yes, yes! Your mother is right, Zhenguo, you don't have to worry! Grandma Zheng also echoed at this time.

After listening to the words of the two, Zheng Zhenguo's brows stretched slightly, but his face was still full of worry.

Zheng Zhendong saw that he was worried, so he stepped forward and asked him.

"Big brother, my sister-in-law gave birth today, have you informed your father-in-law? Didn't you say that the aunt over there came to serve the confinement child, why didn't I see anyone? ”

Zheng Zhenguo said: "Your sister-in-law was supposed to be born after the New Year, who knows that this child is not in a hurry, he will come out today, I patronized to send your sister-in-law to the hospital, and I haven't notified my father-in-law yet!" ”

Zheng Zhendong said again: "Then when are you going to notify them?" No, I'll give it a trip! ”

Zheng's mother also interjected: "Yes, the third child is waiting for your sister-in-law to give birth, you ride a bicycle to Qinjiatun and report a message to Huairu's mother's family, so that people can rest assured!" ”

"Yes, yes, Dongzi, you can run, but pay attention to safety!" Grandma Zheng also said.

After chatting a few words, Song Hongliang walked up to Zheng Zhenguo and said: "Captain, there are so many of you, you don't need me if you have something, I still have something at home, I'll go back first!" ”

Zheng Zhenguo hurriedly spoke: "Oops! Xiao Song, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! ”

"You see that I'm worried about patronizing, I forgot about you, I'm really sorry, thank you for today's events, I'll invite you to drink when I have time!"

"Since you have something, then you can go back first!"

"Third brother, you send your little Brother Song for me, you have also seen it here, I can't leave for the time being!"

Zheng Zhendong stood up and said, "Okay, big brother!" You don't care, I'll deliver it! ”

Song Hongliang said: "No need to send, no need to send!" I can just walk by myself, and it's not that I don't know the way, so there's no need to send me! ”

Zheng Zhendong was willing to listen, insisted on sending Song Hongliang to the door of the hospital, and then returned to the door of the delivery room.

……

Time passed minute by minute, and just when everyone was waiting anxiously, the door of the delivery room finally opened.

A female nurse walked out and said, "The mother's fetal position is not correct, and now it is difficult to give birth, the doctor asked me to ask you, whether to keep it big or small?" ”

"Baoda!"

"Boys and girls?"

Zheng Zhenguo and Zheng Mu said at the same time.

"Mom!"

Zheng Zhenguo heard Zheng's mother ask the boy and girl, shouted with a little dissatisfaction, and then said to the nurse.

"Comrade nurse, we're sorry for you!"

The female nurse nodded after hearing this, then asked Zheng Zhenguo to sign it, turned her head and entered the delivery room again.

"I asked the boy what was wrong with the girl? I can't ask yet? You don't have to stare at me! Zheng's mother saw that Zheng Zhenguo had been staring at herself since the female nurse entered the delivery room, and couldn't help but speak.

Zheng Zhenguo endured it for a long time, and finally said, "Mom, how can you do this?" If Huairu knew about this, how sad she would be! ”

"What's wrong with me? I just asked the boys and girls, are you like that? ”

Seeing that the mother and son were about to quarrel, Grandma Zheng hurriedly stopped: "Okay, you two shut up, what's the matter, wait until the child is born!" ”

Zheng Zhendong, who has never spoken, can't help but think that patriarchy is the mainstream in this era.

Even women like Zheng's mother, who have been working for half her life, are like this, let alone others.

Although the slogan shouts "Women can hold up half the sky!" "But everyone's thinking hasn't changed at all, and there is a big difference between having a son and not having a son.

After all, the girl has to marry when she is raised, and after she marries, she will become someone else's family.

Although you can recruit an elderly son-in-law, if you have a choice, who is willing to join the family? But anyone with a little ambition will not choose this path.

It's different after giving birth to a son, someone gives the elderly and doesn't mention it, and the waist pole immediately stiffens, and even the tone of going out to speak inevitably increases by three points.

Not only this is the case in this era, but even in many remote villages in later generations, there are still omissions such as patriarchy.

The poorer you are, the more you have to have a son, the more you have a son, the poorer you are, you are poor, you are poor, you are poor, and the vicious circle continues, and I don't know when it will be a head.

Just when Zheng Zhendong was thinking nonsense, the door of the delivery room was opened again, and without waiting for the nurse to speak, Zheng Zhenguo asked anxiously: "Comrade nurse, has my daughter-in-law given birth?" She's all right, right? How are the kids? ”
