The sky was slightly bright, and there was a large village leaning on the mountain. Under the faint morning light, only the outline of the village could be vaguely seen. At this time, the village was as quiet as usual, but one farmer seemed unusual.
From the entrance of the village, from the three houses of the Gu family, heart-wrenching shouts could be heard, mixed with the anxious voice of an old woman, "Changqing family, don't just shout! Hurry and use your strength.
Yeah! I have given birth to several babies, and the baby is about to come out, so hurry up!" There was a woman lying on the bed, sweating profusely, clenching her teeth, and screaming.
This is a small room separated from a room. There is a kang on the side of the clinic. There are no furnishings in the room except a cupboard. There is a blue coarse quilt on the kang, and a thin and thin man is lying on it.
The woman is giving birth to a baby.
There were also many men, women, and old people crowded in the yard outside. A man wearing a green suit and white short-brown hair was sitting on a bench next to the well, frowning tightly and holding a polished stick in his hand.
He did not put the cigarette rod in his mouth, and there were no sparks in the pipe. Looking at his appearance, he looked like a man, but his hair on the temples was slightly white, showing that he was old.
This was Gu Changqing, the head of the third room of the Gu family, and the one who gave birth to the baby was his mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu. Hearing the cries of pain inside, he couldn't sit still after thinking about it, and suddenly stood up again, pacing back and forth.
There was an eight or nine-year-old boy beside him, holding a three- or four-year-old girl in his arms, and holding a six-year-old baby in his hand, with a very anxious expression on his face.
The eldest one is Gu Chenglian, the third son of the Gu family, the girl he is holding is Gu Wan, the youngest daughter of Gu Changqing, and the one holding his hand is Gu Chengchi, the fourth son.
Gu Wan was a little scared when she heard the voice, and held Gu Chenglian's arm tightly, "Third brother, I'm afraid!"
"Don't be afraid! Mom is giving birth to a little brother for you." Gu Wan listened and said nothing, but did not let go of her hand. Although Gu Chenglian comforted his little sister, he was still a child after all, and he was also very scared.
But after all, I have grown older and become more sensible. Now my father is also anxious, so I still refrained from asking him whether my mother’s fall would have an impact on the birth of the baby.
Father Gu, who was pacing back and forth, heard the conversation between his children and remembered that his children were still young and would only be scared if they stayed here. He thought it would be better to let them go to his eldest son's room to squeeze in with his nieces and nephews.
"Third brother, take your siblings to your eldest brother's house to sleep overnight. Your mother doesn't know when she will give birth, and the baby won't be able to bear it."
Mrs. Fang from Gu's family took her younger siblings to the house. The mother-in-law in the main house was giving birth to a baby and had no place to rest. After settling her younger siblings, she came to take the three children back. The mother-in-law's wrestling was also related to her eldest daughter.
, she still felt a little uneasy.
Sitting next to her, Mrs. He from the second oldest family was a little impatient, thinking that her mother-in-law was not too young to have a baby, and she even had grandchildren, so she was not ashamed.
The whole family was waiting in the yard, and the woman didn't have to sleep, that's all! The man didn't want to sleep, and he would have to go to the fields tomorrow. How could the baby's father bear the burden?
Although there is an elder, the 20 acres of land still depends entirely on the men of her family, the elder and father-in-law. People are not made of iron. Every time they are busy in farming, they lose meat. The food at home is not good, and the few small people in the family do hard work.
It can't be done either. It's the men in her family who suffer the most. They work like cows and horses in this family. They eat less and do more. This is treating people like animals! What's more, there is a small medicine jar.
The sound was so loud that the whole family couldn't sleep. The boss and his wife were also stupid. I have never seen such honest people. They did whatever they were told and didn't dare to be lazy at all. Look at what the boss is doing.
He earns the least, does the most, and has to go to the fields. He is skinny and barely has a few ounces of flesh on his body. His children also follow the same example. They are just slaves for those who come after them!
Then he looked at Gu Lian, the eldest granddaughter of the Gu family, who was huddled in the corner of the yard, and Gu Lan, the little girl held in the hands of the eldest grandson Gu Wanhai. They both looked sallow and thin.
One is six years old, one is five years old, and the other is as old as two and one year old. They are also ordered to have no time to relax every day.
They don't know how to do heavy work. They feed the chickens and pigs at home, and they have to do all the work except the fields. It's considered a great mercy for my mother-in-law to give half a wotou for one meal. Isn't she extremely stupid?
I thought that even though she was scolded all day long, she finally got some benefits, otherwise her two sons would have suffered.
Sitting here, Mr. He felt that her waist was about to break. She hit her waist, oh! Her waist! Sitting here, it would be better to go back to the house and lie down. Thinking of her two sons still sleeping on the kang, she was afraid of being disturbed by such a loud noise.
I looked around the Gu family's house again, hey! It's still a bit small, and if any house makes a loud noise, other houses will know it.
There is no set time for the birth of the baby. I really want to go back to the house, but I am afraid that my father-in-law will not allow me. After all, the matter has not been resolved yet, so I should just sit down! Otherwise, my father-in-law will see me and get angry again.
"Dad," at this moment, a younger man came in from the door. This was Gu Chengli, the boss of the Gu family. He came with a doctor with a gray beard, wearing a green straight skirt, and carrying a medicine box.
The doctor's clothes were a little scattered, which showed that he was in a hurry.
"Brother Li is here. Come in quickly. The baby fell down last night and the baby hasn't been born yet. I'm afraid I want you to take a look."
Mr. Li rushed over in a hurry. He hadn't even taken a breath yet. He was thinking about how long it took for this to start? Which woman can give birth to a baby so quickly? There are some who can take a day or two. Gu Changqing
Isn't that too impatient? It is said that Gu Changqing loves his wife, and this is true.
Besides, when this woman gives birth to a baby, it will be very inconvenient for him, a male doctor!
But then he thought about it, this Lu family is not too young, and he also fell down, so he still needs to be more cautious. If things are urgent, it is really not good to follow the authority. I am afraid that he will not take care of the defense of men and women and save people.
important.
Langzhong Li listened to the noise coming from the main room. The voice was indeed more painful and shrill than that of a normal woman giving birth. Just as Langzhong Li was about to reply, the courtyard door that had just been closed rang again.
Gu Changqing frowned, it's not yet dawn, why is there anyone here now?
