The Fourth Master's head suddenly felt like someone had hit him with a sap, and he was a little confused for a moment. He seemed to understand a little bit how Lao Jiu was feeling.
He looked at Lin Yutong's stomach and felt a little trembling, "It's not one...how many are it?"
Lin Yutong shook his head, "It's so messy. I can't figure it out."
Very messy? These words reminded him of what Lao Jiu always said, "Life is like a litter."
Isn't this a nest?
Lin Yutong saw that Fourth Master's expression changed, and quickly added: "However, they are all still healthy."
No matter how healthy you are, your belly is only so big and the capacity is limited. Where can you carry the child? If you have more, the child will naturally be smaller and weaker. The children of Laojiu's family were surrounded by three imperial doctors.
It took more than half a year to look like a normal child. What was the condition then, and what is the condition now.
Can he not worry?
Within two days I had a toothache and my cheeks swelled up very quickly.
The house was leaking and it was raining continuously. Uncle Wang called and asked the Fourth Master to go to the county town and have something to say.
The Fourth Master sighed and whispered: "There must be something unexpected happening in the labor camp."
Linyu nodded and said, "Go early and come back early."
The fourth master left and came back after dark. Looking at his expression, I knew it was not very nice.
Lin Yutong put the fire out for him, "Don't worry. It will always be dark for a while before dawn."
The fourth master looked at her belly and said, "It's a matter of time. I'm thinking, if there is a little more relaxation over there, can we find a way to return to the city early? But let's forget it now, I'm afraid there will be a lot of chaos in the capital."
."
Having seen hope, people have yearning in their hearts.
Lin Yutong nodded, "It's okay, let's give birth here. There is always a way."
As the twelfth lunar month approaches, all the single educated youths in the company return to visit their relatives.
The entire company suddenly seemed empty, but also relaxed.
On the day of Laba, Lin Yutong got up early and made Laba porridge. It was just rice porridge with various beans in it. But when eating, she cut some ham and mixed it with eggplant, dried beans and dried beans.
Then the announcement in the company suddenly rang...
Zhou Ongli passed away. This day is the eighth day of January in the Gregorian calendar of 1976.
Fourth Master pointed to the plate of ham on the table, "Take it."
Lin Yutong understood what he meant, he was going to become a vegetarian.
A majestic mountain collapsed, and the overwhelming sadness came over me.
News from the capital came back one after another, and Lin Yutong suddenly felt that the whole world had become terrifyingly silent.
The New Year of 1976 passed in such an atmosphere. There was no laughter and no sadness.
After the Chinese New Year, my belly, which is more than four months old, looks like I am six or seven months pregnant. Everyone knows there is something wrong with this.
Lian Li didn't dare to give her any work. He just told her to rest like this.
The Fourth Master looked at her belly worriedly and didn't know what he was thinking.
Lin Yutong didn't want to think so much. According to the time calculation, the due date of her pregnancy should be in June of the lunar calendar, which is when the weather is hot. It would be painful to have confinement at this time. In addition, the child is still young. I think
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Now she has to cook an extra meal every day and put it in the space. Otherwise, who will cook during the confinement period? The fourth master can boil the hot water, and she is Amitabha. She also has to prepare a few sets of clothes for the child.
Even if there are ready-made ones in the space, wouldn't it be too out of line to take them out? She still needs to prepare a few more sets. Children grow fast, and the clothes they wear when they are born and when they are full moon will change every day.
The more you calculate, the more you need to prepare. You also need to prepare the child's bedding, whether it is thin or thick. The same goes for diapers. Even if you don't dare to let others see the diapers, you don't want to wrong the child. One person
You should always prepare twenty or thirty diapers.
She was very cruel and cut up the brand new autumn clothes and long pants in the space to make diapers for the child.
I am so busy that I don’t know what time it is tonight.
Before these things were packed away, I heard that there was a meteorite rain in Jilin.
At this time, the baby's fetal movements were already obvious, and her belly was not stopping for a moment. Her hands and feet began to swell, and some of the fingers on her hands began to feel numb, especially her feet.
It seems that the physical condition of this body is not good. Even if she drank space water for two years, her weakness was still exposed at the critical moment.
It feels like getting off the kang is a strenuous task.
The fourth master did nothing and guarded her every day. "I have already told Aunt Wang over there. As soon as we start here, she will bring people over there."
It was only seven months old when I felt I couldn't get out of bed.
Fourth Master lost weight quickly. Not only was he scared, Lin Yutong was also scared.
"Okay! Don't leave me here alone." The fourth master hugged her and said these words over and over again.
Lin Yutong smiled and said: "No. I know my body. We are not in a hurry. The child is healthy now and I am fine." The current laparotomy is not very reassuring. What's more, it is still in a small county. She has to save herself.
You have to bear it yourself.
The food at home is cooked with the help of the company's chief executive. Who doesn't worry about this?
The weather was getting hotter and Lin Yutong was sweating all over. She was lying on the kang and had difficulty even turning over. She didn't dare to think nonsense. What she thought about every day was that I must live, I must live.
On his snow-white belly, veins were clearly visible. Lin Yutong sometimes opened his eyes after sleeping and saw the fourth master staring at his belly, showing fear.
But Lin Yutong knew that his condition was not very healthy, but his child was healthy.
The two didn't communicate much, but they held hands tightly. They only had each other, so neither could abandon the other.
Ordinarily, if it is twins or multiple pregnancies, there will be many babies born around eight months old. On the contrary, there will be very few babies born at full term.
When it entered the sixth month of the lunar calendar, she started to have a fever and was too tired to open her eyes. She vaguely heard that the Commander-in-Chief had passed away. But she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes and ask.
There seem to be people coming and going all the time.
On this day, the taste in her mouth turned salty, and her face seemed to be wet. She opened her eyes and saw Fourth Master's face, which was so tired that he was out of shape, with red eyes and tears on his face.
"Master..." She called him in a hoarse voice with a dry throat.
He held her hand tightly, with a sinister expression on his face. "You dare to leave me alone... I can find you even if you go to the blue sky or to the underworld..."
Lin Yutong smiled. She thought she was the only one who couldn't live without him. Now she realized that he couldn't live without her either.
Then, he gently touched her face and said, "It's fine! We are all fine."
"Thirsty!" Lin Yutong looked at him for a long time before whispering.
The fourth master quickly took the cup, Lin Yutong got water from the space, and the fourth master supported her to drink.
He took out the food he had prepared before, and the fourth master fed her spoonful by spoonful. During this period of time, he was feeding her porridge. He also did all the physical things himself.
.
Lin Yutong woke up and felt refreshed.
Only old couples can have such perseverance.
It was very dark outside, and it must have been midnight. "I'm afraid I fell asleep and you left suddenly." The fourth master's voice was low, "Let's not have any more children in the future, okay?"
Lin Yutong nodded, "Don't worry, they are all healthy."
Fourth Master nodded. He would put his ear against her body every day and listen to the heartbeat inside.
Everyone was jumping up and down, which was why he gave up a little. He thought that even if she was willing to let go of herself, she would not be able to let go of the child.
"Come out quickly, little ancestors." Fourth Master put his head on Lin Yutong's forehead, "It's not hot anymore. It's okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body trembled, and then the earth shook.
Tangshan earthquake!
Lin Yutong became anxious, her stomach hurt immediately, and her body became wet. It was probably her amniotic fluid that had broken.
The fourth master had already carried her out of the house, and it started to rain at some point.
"Master, it's time to give birth." Lin Yutong whispered.
The Fourth Master now doesn't know whether to cry or laugh. He is looking forward to being born, but he never expected to be born at this time.
Next door was the educated youth dormitory, and everyone ran out at this moment. After seeing the appearance of Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, without saying a word, he protected the two people to an open place.
The male educated youth all turned their backs and formed a circle. They took off their clothes and handed them to the female educated youth, asking them to hold them to protect Lin Yutong from the wind and rain.
After a while, other people in the company came out. Several sisters-in-law who had given birth to children came to the back to help.
Fourth Master held Lin Yutong's hand tightly, "Tongtong, be well."
Lin Yutong nodded, feeling the tremor of the earth, and shouted hoarsely, a loud cry of a baby that cut through the rainy night.
She could clearly hear the cheers of the crowd, the sounds were far away and near, as if they were in the sky and in her ears.
"She is a big fat girl." This was the voice of the company commander's wife. "This child has caused your mother a lot of trouble. She must weigh seven kilograms."
Very good! Fat girl! I almost died from you. You are fat.
She heard people rushing to take off their clothes to wrap the child. She felt relieved.
Her stomach cramped and she looked at the expression on her fourth master's face that she didn't know how to describe. She made a strong effort and heard another loud cry, louder than before.
Lin Yutong smiled. He couldn't hear any sounds around him, only everyone's heartfelt cheers. There were also vague words floating in his ears, "...he is a fat son..."
Very good! Fat son!
Before she could sigh, she felt something fell from underneath her. Even the pain was not that severe.
"Oh my God...and...the boy..." This was Bai Xiaomei's voice.
Immediately following, came the child's cry. It was loud and somewhat arrogant...
