1 Daliangshan, Chen Xiaoxi
This spring is particularly early.
This is a mountain, endless.
From a distance, the peaks tower into the clouds and reach a good tacit understanding with the sky, seamlessly connecting, as if connected to the sky, beautiful, like a fairyland.
At the foot of a mountain, there are dozens of families living in crisscrossing, and there are layers of stone slab houses. Around the houses, there are colorful flowers, birds singing and flowers fragrance, hazy and ethereal in the thin fog.
Before the sky opened, there were crowds of people in front of the stone slab house, including men, women, young and old, looking into the room constantly.
"Are you going to give birth?"
Someone spoke, and instantly, the crowd began to talk.
"It's almost done, I can't hear the sound!"
"The midwife has been in for a long time. I heard that she was invited from the town and spent a lot of money!"
"There's nothing to do. The road is blocked. It's too far to go to the county town!"
"The Chen Lin and his wife have a miserable life. You say, they have been married for ten years. They have finally had a child. Now they are in their early thirties!"
"This woman is older, the more laborious she has to give birth. Do you have to do anything else!"
"You guys say, will this be a boy or a girl?"
"Look at the wife of the Lin family, she has a sharp belly. She must be a boy, maybe she is a twin!"
"Hope is a boy!"
Amid the crowds of people, suddenly, a cry came from the room.
At this time, in the distant east, a dawn broke through the darkness, and the horizon began to turn white. A white cloud floated past a mountain, revealing a charming smile.
"Born!" Someone shouted loudly, and the crowd rushed into the house.
In one room and on the bed, it was a pretty woman. At this moment, she was sweating heavily and her face turned pale. She was holding a baby, and a loving smile appeared on her pale face.
This is a newborn baby, smart and cute, very quiet, blinking his big eyes in his mother's arms.
"Prepare hot water and wash the child!" The one who spoke was an obese woman, who was a midwife.
"Okay!" A young man stood up from the bed. He talked little and looked very honest. He hurriedly got up when he heard the midwife's instructions.
However, as soon as he took a step, he smiled bitterly. The door was blocked and he could not get out at all.
"Strange, I just cried a few times and stopped crying!" someone said at the door.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" someone asked.
"Girl!" said the young man.
"What?" The crowd was filled with disappointment, and amid the sighs, the crowd dispersed.
In an instant, there were only four people left in the room, midwife, Chen Lin, his wife and children.
"What's wrong with girls? What's wrong with these people?" said the midwife with a calm face. "Aren't boys and girls all the same? Are they all the same? Are they the parents' hearts?"
"It's okay whether it's a boy or a girl!" The woman on the bed spoke, looking at the child in her arms, full of spoiling. "Look, this child is so obedient, these eyes seem to be able to speak. No matter what, we will raise her up!"
"Brother, sister-in-law, hot water is coming!" At this moment, a crisp sound came, like a lark, very nice.
This is a girl, Nian Fang Shiba, beautiful and generous. Her appearance is somewhat similar to the young people in the room.
At this moment, she ran into the room with a wooden barrel.
"I'll do it!" the midwife smiled, taking the baby from the woman's hand and put it carefully into the wooden barrel.
"Xiaorong, you are educated, marry a name for your child!" said the woman on the bed.
"Ah! So beautiful. When I grew up, I am definitely a beauty! Hugh!" Chen Rong laughed and squatted beside the wooden barrel. "Actually, I have already thought about it. If it was a boy, I would be called Chen Xi, Hope Xi!"
"Where is the girl?" Chen Lin asked.
"Our Daliang Mountain is in the southwest direction. I originally wanted to call it Xiaoxi, east, west, south, north, and west, but I don't think so!" Chen Rong's eyes flashed, "I have it!"
"What's the name?" Chen Lin and his wife asked in unison, looking expectant.
"It's dawn as soon as she was born!" Chen Rong thought for a while and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, look, how good is this?"
"Chenxi, Chen Xi!" Chen Rong said, excited, "Brother, sister-in-law, she will call Chen Xi in the future, Chen Xiaoxi! Chen Xi means brightness. I hope she can walk out of Daliang Mountain in the future and have a bright future!"
"Okay! OK!" Chen Lin laughed, sat down beside the bed, and hugged his wife, "Xiao Xi, okay, she will call her Xiao Xi from now on!"
"You girl is different from others, different from those in the village, and have a vision!" the midwife raised her head and praised.
"You kid, please take good care of it. No, I'll wipe her dry and wrap the towel. It's just spring, don't catch a cold!"
The midwife handed the child to Chen Rong, turned her head, looked at the woman on the bed, and reminded, "And you, you just gave birth to a baby, are very weak, you are already very hard just now, remember not to eat cold food, sleep at night, cover your feet, and don't get cold, otherwise, there will be many gynecological diseases in the future, and you will suffer from it!"
"Thank you!" Chen Lin and his wife thanked.
"This is your money!" Chen Rong took out a few wrinkled money from her pocket and handed it to the midwife.
"You keep it. I heard that it is not easy for you to prepare for the normal university entrance exam!" said the midwife with a smile, looking at the child in Chen Rong's arms, "Your generation, be more competitive, I hope that their generation can have a good educational environment. Look at the people in your village, when they hear it is a girl...ah!"
"No, you have to keep guarding this money, you come all the way..." Chen Rong refused to support her and stuffed the money into the midwife's hands.
"If you ask you to keep it, just keep it!" The midwife refused and put the money in Chen Rong's pocket. "After graduation, you should know how to do it!"
"I like this girl very much. I used to work in the hospital and know some nursing care, so I occasionally do this. Whenever I see a child born, I am very happy. She is a newborn, just like the sun in the sky, just like what you said, it is hope and light!"
"Chen Xi, what a good name!" said the midwife, taking steps and walking out.
"I'll give you it!" Chen Rong shouted.
"Stay!" the midwife waved her hand, "My son came with me, and I'm not afraid of walking in the mountains. Besides, when the sun comes out, what else do I have to be afraid of? Girl, your sister-in-law is in confinement, Xiaoxi, you have to take good care of it. Didn't you say it? Chen Xi, Chenxi, she brings light and hope to people!"
"You are always easy to leave!" Chen Rong said softly.
"Xiao Rong, come and let me see the child!" the woman on the bed shouted.
"Sister-in-law, you should have a good rest! I'll go to the market tomorrow, and I'll buy you some supplements at the market!" Chen Rong said, "I like this kid so much. I hold her and I can't bear to let go, giggle!"
At this moment, a ray of sunlight shone through the window into the room. The child in his arms turned his big eyes, which was particularly bright.
