Chapter 10: Birth

The continuation of new life always makes people happy, and those who come into this world always learn to cry first. ’

I can only get a general idea through their mouths, and they are always closely related to me. And I felt like I was stepping back in time to their lives and watching.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

My mother always felt very sick to her stomach and always wanted to run to the toilet. My father sensed that something was wrong and rushed my mother to the hospital, where I was about to be born today, and my father hurriedly went to accompany my mother to tell the news at my mother's bedside, and a look of relief appeared on my mother's painful face.

At the moment before I was born, the doctor asked my father to wait outside the delivery room, and my father nervously took out a cigarette and was about to smoke, but suddenly saw the sign "No Smoking", quickly put the cigarette back in his pocket, paced back and forth in the corridor, and stood at the door from time to time, and couldn't help but rub his hands.

The door to the delivery room opened, and the doctor stepped out.

"Go in and see your wife, but be careful to let her rest more."

The father walked quickly to the bed, sat in front of the bed, and used his hands to smooth his mother's wet hair from his forehead to the back of his forehead, and covered the sweat beads on her face with his hands, and the mother opened her heavy eyelids weakly.

"It's a son, isn't it?"

"Well, yes, we have a son."

Father kissed mother's sweaty forehead.

"Good work."

The mother smiled happily and closed her eyes again, tears sliding from the corners of her eyes to the sides. This teardrop hides the bitterness of the past, and it is all over at this moment.

My father took care of my mother for a long time during her childbirth, and my mother asked to see me after she recovered a little, my mother held me in her arms regardless of the body that had not yet healed, and my father teased me on the side, but I seemed to have no emotion or a bad sound called sluggishness, not crying or laughing, which made my father very helpless.

Her mother didn't rest for too long and went home to work, which made many people say that she looked like a man and her body was like iron, but who knew that this was the only way for her to fight against life.

At the time of the full moon, close relatives came to take a dip in joy, and there were not many people, just my grandparents and aunts and my uncles, the two tables were just enough to sit, they hugged and teased, I seemed to have become their pistachio, and everyone laughed really.

After the meal, my grandparents brought hoes, pens, toys, flutes... Wait, put them in a row by the wall, Daddy took me away, and I slowly reached for the pen.

"Mom, you see, your grandson will definitely take a pen and eat a good meal in the future, and my brother can also wait to enjoy happiness in the future." The aunt looked at the grandmother.

"Yes, I never dreamed that your brother would marry a good daughter-in-law, nor did I expect him to have children, my grandson will definitely be very good." Grandma said with relief.

"Mom, look!" The mother turned from joy to sorrow, and was even a little dumbfounded. The expressions of the crowd began to become solemn.

My hand towards the tip of the pen suddenly swayed, and I still waved my head, and my mouth seemed to say 'don't'.

"You kid, why did you change your mind?" There was a big gap in my father's heart. 'Alas, forget it, don't force it, as long as you don't take a hoe, it's easy to say.'

My hands swung in front of those things for a long time, and their hearts hung in the air for a long time. Finally I stretched out to the hoe, this time I didn't change my mind, I just wanted to take it, my father was very helpless to hug me close, my little hand stretched out and couldn't hold the hoe at all, but the mouth smiled so happily.

Everyone was deflated all of a sudden, some shook their heads and some sighed.

"Dig the ground, dig the ground, this may be fate, alas~"

"You can make money by working hard, as long as he is diligent."

"I can't say for sure, you see that Lao Liu's son also took a hoe at the time, and now he is not in college......"

Despite this, my parents still did not relax their requirements for me, hoping that I would be admitted to a good undergraduate degree and then have a decent job.

Gradually, I learned to walk, my parents were on the fishing boat all day in order to live, I don't know how many times the wind and waves were frightened, in order to live in order to give me a good growth condition, they broke their teeth and swallowed in their stomachs, and I was locked in a rental house, and often when they came back to the house, they saw a big gray face, and sometimes they could even make them laugh and laugh.

When I was about four or five years old, I had some sense of autonomy and could have some vague memories, plus what my grandmother told me to make up the puzzle of time at that age.

When I was four or five years old, my aunt took me back to the old house and lived with my grandparents. Maybe it was forced to make ends meet, I heard that my parents seemed to be almost hungry when they were fishing, and it was also that year that they decided to sell their fishing gear and go to work in other places.

My grandparents had long wanted to take care of me and help my parents share some of the burdens, but I was not used to it for half a year when I returned to the old house, and I often wanted to go to my parents. My grandparents treated me very well, they raised one or two pigs and dozens of chickens every year, and I either cut a piece of meat or killed a chicken or got some eggs every time.

I remember that it was a summer, a lot of pork in the house were dripping with oil, grandparents are not very good at putting bacon, every time the bacon is overgrown with maggots after the summer, that day I wanted to eat meat, grandma asked grandpa to take a piece, but there were a lot of insects on the stones, at that time I didn't understand why there were insects in the meat, and there would be no special reaction.

"Grandpa, can you still eat worms in the meat?" I looked at the flesh with holes and the bugs that came out.

"Of course you can, these bugs are the most nutritious." Grandpa said with a grin.

"Then why get them out, they won't be more nutritious if you eat them together." I asked, confused.

My grandmother listened to my conversation with my grandfather and laughed.

"Grandson, these bugs are not clean, and you will have a stomachache if you eat them."

I thought it made sense, so I slapped the bugs out with my grandfather, and when it was almost time, my grandfather put the meat in a large pot full of boiling water on the stove and simmered it.

When grandma is ready, the meat has an obvious crispy feeling in the mouth, I don't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, our family doesn't want other families to be so rich, we can buy some fruit snacks on weekdays, and we only eat meat a few times a week, and I can't take care of anything else when I eat the fragrance in my mouth.

In addition to eggs and meat, my favorite things are potatoes and some wild fruits in the mountains, my whole childhood except for playing with friends in the town and accidentally playing in the mountains and having fun, even the fish I used to eat was rarely eaten, at that time I felt that every time I ate too much food, I was hungry, and I didn't have to worry about anything else.

The time before the age of six is carefree and chaotic. It is said that since the age of six, that is, from the first grade of primary school, the memory is gradually complete and clear, and the real childhood is also beginning......
