Rebirth after the 1950s

But in September, the third brother made an agreement with the children who often hunted pigweed at the foot of the mountain not far from his yard, and let them hang around in front of the house when they had nothing to do. Then he would give them sweets.

It was just a few days after the autumn harvest, and these children were not far from their homes.I saw a few children there,

Just shout: "Mao Dan, Mao Dan..."

"Maodan, someone called you"

"Who is it!"

"It seems to be Li Zhiqing"

"What did she shout?"

"do not know"

"But my grandma said a few days ago that her due date is coming soon. What is the due date?"

"I don't know, but let's hurry over and have a look."

"it is good"

"hairy egg"

"Li Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?"

"Maodan, sister is about to give birth. Go and find your grandma."

"it is good"

"Li Zhiqing, I will also go and ask my grandma to come over."

"Li Zhiqing, are you okay?"

"It's Xiaocui! Sister, can you please go and boil a pot of hot water for me?"

"sure no problem"

I didn't choose to go to the hospital, not because of other reasons, and I wasn't sure when I would be born. The key was that the road was far.

Another thing is that there are midwives in the production team. Although the well water in my space cannot cure all diseases, I have not suffered any serious illness or minor disaster after drinking it over the years.

Before the midwife arrived, she walked around the yard.

Long before this, I had prepared all the things I would use. Otherwise, everything I would use had already been disinfected, and I could just disinfect it again when it was time to use it.

As for the child's diapers, I changed all the clothes that I couldn't wear before into diapers. I also found thin diapers from the space and pulled out a lot of diapers.

I put them all in a pot and scalded them with hot water, washed them and exposed them in the sun.

Even the clothes for the baby were made by myself.However, I heard from the female comrades in the village that the child does not need to wear too thick clothes until at least three months ago, and the kang in the house is not cold.

As for the firewood at home, it's better to say that when the third brother is at home, he chops firewood when he has nothing to do, and sometimes he picks up some on the way home and brings it back.

Also, ever since I found out I was pregnant, I had made an agreement with other children in the village that as long as they carried a bundle of firewood and each firewood stick was not smaller than an arm, I would give them two cents or two pieces of candy. It can be a notebook, a pencil, an eraser or something.

Not long after, Mao Dan's grandma, Grandma Zhou, came, and then Pi Dan's grandma, Grandma Wu, came.

"Grandma Zhou, all the things you need have been prepared as you said, and they are now placed on the kang cabinet."

"Okay, I'll go over and check again."

"Okay, Fifth Grandma, you are here."

"How's it going, Li Zhiqing?"

“Can still hold on”

"Then I'll go boil some hot water for you."

"Fifth Grandma, Xiaocui is boiling water inside."

"It's okay. The more hot water the better, I'll go take a look first."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother Grandma Wu."

"Why are you so polite?"

Then several more female comrades came to the house. They were all the daughters-in-law of Aunt Zhou’s family.

"Hello, aunties,"

"Okay, now is not the time to be polite. Second brother and sister, third brother and sister, please help Li Zhiqing around the yard. When this first baby is born, it will take a day or two for the baby to be born."

"I'm going to make some food for Li Zhiqing."

"Auntie, the food is on the west wall of the kitchen. You can find it if you look for it."

"Row"

Because he had no parents, and Aunt Zhou was in the cowshed, she would definitely not be able to come and take care of him during his confinement period. The third brother could take care of him, but he couldn't be at home every day, so he still found someone in the village.This person is Uncle Captain's wife, Aunt Zhou.

I have seen Aunt Zhou cook, and I have also seen her clean up the house. It can be said that she is the most efficient in the entire production team, and she can be said to be a good hand at home and outside.

After discussing with the third brother, he gave her three yuan a month and a pack of brown sugar.In addition to these, they also take care of food and housing. It can be said that this job is very good in the countryside.

"What's wrong, Li Zhiqing?"

"Second aunt, third aunt, it seems that she is about to give birth."

"how can that be"

"Third brothers and sisters, no matter whether it is possible or not, let Li Zhiqing enter the house first."

"it is good"

"What's wrong, Li Zhiqing?"

"It hurts so much, and the distance is getting closer and closer."

"Then go to bed quickly"

"it is good"

"Mom, show it to Li Zhiqing"

"it is good"

"How's it going, Mom?"

"Hurry, get ready, we've already seen the end."

"it is good"

"Comrade, please stay."

"Hello, comrade, I am the eldest son of Captain Xiangyang. I am here to tell Comrade Shen Xi that his wife is giving birth."

"Okay, thank you, I'll inform Deputy Company Commander Shen now."

I don’t know how much time has passed, but I just know it hurts, it hurts so damn much, why does giving birth hurt so much?

I never thought that giving birth would be so painful, but at this point, I could only grit my teeth and exert all my strength. There was no other way, and I couldn't return the product.

"Mianmian, brother is back, don't be afraid"

"Comrade Shen, you can't go in."

"No, I have to go in and stay with Mianmian."

"No, men are not allowed in when a woman is giving birth."

"But, that's..."

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or if the child came up with it on his own. After hearing the third brother’s voice, he felt full of strength. As soon as he exerted his strength, he heard

"It's born, it's born"

Then came the sound of a child crying

"Wow~wow, wow~wow"

"Li Zhiqing is a boy"

"is it?"

"Yes, look at this, is it a boy?"

"It really is"

"Okay, quickly pick him up and carry him out to show Comrade Shen."

"it is good"

After a while, I took the child out and heard

"Comrade Shen, Li Zhiqing gave birth to a boy. He looks good! Okay, I'll take him back quickly. It's cold outside."

"No, aunt, how is my wife?"

"That's great. I've never seen your wife like this. She gave birth to her first child. It only took half a day from the beginning of pain to the onset of pain. She just gave birth to the child as if she was playing with it."

"This"

"Hurry up and clean up, and make the kang warmer. Although the weather is not very cold now, but no matter what, this woman's confinement is a big deal.

Li Zhiqing is not a straight-spoken lady. If you choose this time to give birth to a baby and have a confinement period, it is really the right time. Although it is a bit cold, you can have a good confinement period.

Unlike when I was born in the summer or during busy farming periods, at that time, I could only do half a month of confinement because of the kindness of my husband's family, which basically only lasted three days. "

"Can this work?"

"Whether it works or not, you have to persevere and cook at home if you don't want to go to the fields. Everyone else has to give this family's mother-in-law a thumbs up."

"Would that be bad for your health?"

"Good or bad, it all depends on the fate of poor people."
