Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Courthouse entrance.

Deng Shirong was burning a cigarette and chatting with the guard.

This doorman was an old man in his fifties. When Deng Shirong bought a house and was looking for someone to renovate it, it was this doorman who asked him to help introduce people.

At that time, Deng Shirong came to know him by rubbing the chimney. He came here several times a day to burn cigarettes, and he became familiar with him after going back and forth.

Through previous chats, Deng Shirong knew that the guard's name was Zhang Guoan and he was from Bobai New Village.

In his previous life, his third son worked in Bobai for more than 20 years, so Deng Shirong also lived in Bobai for a period of time. He still has a certain understanding of Bobai. He knows that the people in Xincun are very happy in Bobai and almost no one dares to mess with him. .

Next year, the eldest son and daughter-in-law will develop their lives here in Bobai, and Uncle Zhang will naturally be of use, so Deng Shirong comes to burn cigarettes more frequently.

Deng Shirong put the chimney away and asked, "Brother Zhang, how many children do you have?"

Zhang Guoan said: "I have six children, three sons and three daughters."

Deng Shirong said: "Are you all married?"

Zhang Guoan nodded and said, "Well, we are already married."

Deng Shirong said: "Then don't worry, I have seven children, the eldest just married his wife last year, and there are five more who are studying!"

Zhang Guoan said in surprise: "You still have five children studying? The eldest one should be in college, right?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Well, the older one will go to college this year."

Zhang Guoan couldn't help but be impressed when he heard this. Anyone who can go to university in this era has unlimited future. He asked: "What university did you go to?"

Deng Shirong couldn't hide the smile on his face: "BJ University."

Zhang Guoan's eyes suddenly widened, and he said with envy: "Uncle Jiu (not a seniority here, but a nickname), you are so amazing. You have actually trained a Peking University student. You don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life. You can enjoy happiness with this son in the future.”

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It's too early to talk about enjoying happiness now. We'll wait until when all the children get married and complete the tasks of being parents."

Zhang Guoan agreed: "This is true. As parents, we cannot relieve ourselves of this heavy burden until our children have a family."

Deng Shirong said: "So, I still have to endure it. Unlike my brother, you don't have any burden."

The two chatted for a while before Deng Shirong went back to have lunch.

…

After living in the county town for two weeks, Zhang Xiuping's stomach finally got upset.

The family brought the diapers used to wrap the baby and hurried to Maternal and Child Health Care with Zhang Xiuping.

In the early days of liberation, the county's maternal and child health care work was also managed by the obstetrics and gynecology department of the county health center. It was not until May 1956 that the county maternal and child health care station was established. After years of development, the new method of maternal and child health care delivery has achieved very good results. score.

In later generations, whether in rural areas or county towns, 95% of people who gave birth would rush to the county hospital to give birth. Therefore, the obstetrics department of any hospital in the county town was extremely busy, especially the People's Hospital and the Maternal and Child Health Care Center. , it was so busy that a midwife had to deliver to several women at the same time, and she was simply too busy.

Therefore, in future generations, when you go to the hospital to give birth, you must ask an acquaintance for help. If there is no acquaintance, the mother will suffer. After entering the delivery room, the midwife will be very busy, and most of her thoughts will be on the mother introduced by the acquaintance. I have no time to talk to you at all.

But now it is 1981, and 99.9% of rural people give birth at home. Not many mothers come to the Maternal and Child Health Care Center to give birth. Therefore, after Zhang Xiuping came to the Maternal and Child Health Care Center, she was replaced by an idle midwife. Welcomed into the delivery room.

This made Deng Shirong sigh with emotion. In later generations, mothers would only be sent to the delivery room if their cervix was open. Before the cervix was opened, the mother was not eligible to enter the delivery room to occupy a seat. It was not like now, where she is greeted directly as soon as she comes. Entered the delivery room.

This difference between the times really exists all the time.

While waiting, Deng Shirong and Zhang's mother, two experienced people, acted very calmly.

But Deng Yuntai was a father for the first time, so he couldn't remain calm as he was inexperienced. Ten minutes before his wife entered the delivery room, he couldn't sit still and started walking back and forth outside the delivery room. He kept staring at the door of the delivery room and kept moving his hands. Rubbing.

Seeing this, Deng Shirong couldn't help but said: "Yuntai, don't be nervous. When you give birth to your first child, it's not that fast. It will take at least a few hours. If it's slower, it won't be born until the next day."

Zhang's mother also smiled and answered: "My in-laws are right. When I gave birth to my eldest son, my stomach hurt for more than ten hours before I gave birth. Now that Xiuping's stomach has just started to hurt, she really didn't give birth that quickly."

Deng Yuntai was surprised: "How long does it take?"

Although he is about to be a father, no one has ever told him about having children, and he really doesn't understand anything.

Compared with him, Deng Yunzhen, his younger sister, knew a little more.

After all, Deng Yunzhen and Guan Yongying are friends. Deng Yunzhen heard some details about having children from Guan Yongying, so she knows much more about this than her brother.

Deng Shirong said: "When your mother gave birth to you, her stomach started to hurt after eating in the afternoon, and she kept struggling until the next morning before she gave birth to you."

Deng Yunzhen also gave an example: "When Yongying gave birth to her twins, her stomach hurt for more than six hours."

When Deng Yuntai heard his father, mother-in-law, and sister say this, he knew that it was definitely true. After he felt confident in his heart, his anxiety eased a little, and he sat down again and waited slowly.

This wait lasted for several hours, from when I came to the maternal and child health care department at around two o'clock in the afternoon, until around nine o'clock in the evening, I heard the cry of the baby in the delivery room.

Hearing the baby's cry, Deng Shirong and others all stood up excitedly.

Soon, the door of the delivery room opened, and the midwife came out to say congratulations: "Congratulations to all the families, the mother has given birth to a daughter, and the mother and daughter are safe."

When she said this, the midwife was still worried that the family members would be unhappy and planned to offer some advice!

After all, she is also a native of Bobai, so she naturally understands the mentality of local people who want to have a son. During the previous delivery, if the mother gave birth to a daughter, many family members would not look good when she came out to announce the good news.

As a result, to her surprise, upon hearing her announcement, all the waiting family members looked happy and thanked her one after another.

This scene made the midwife feel very good, thinking that this girl was really blessed to be reborn in such a family!

…

October 11, 1981 in the lunar calendar is the beginning of winter.

At 8:58 pm, the third generation of the Deng family was born!
