Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The mountain breeze was blowing slowly in the early morning, and some villagers had already started cooking, with smoke rising from their chimneys.

Xu Dahai turned his head and looked south, and found that the person speaking was not someone else, but his second uncle.

The second uncle was wearing a dog-skin hat, a gray cotton-padded jacket, jingle shoes, and had just returned from the mountains with a shotgun on his back.

He also carried two flower-tailed pheasants in his hands.

"Well, uncle, do you eat fish? All of them are big fish!"

"If you don't want to eat, have you eaten? Come to my courtyard and have some porridge."

The second uncle glanced at the big fish with sharp points sticking out of the basket and smiled.

Although the second uncle said not to, Xu Dahai still put down four big fish when passing by the door of the second uncle's house.

When I got home, I was greeted by Wang Xiuxiu who was smashing clothes on a sewing machine.

"Why did you come back so early? I thought you wouldn't come back until noon. Why did you catch so many fish?"

"I gave my second uncle four fish, otherwise there would be even more fish in the basket."

Xu Dahai unloaded the basket with the help of Wang Xiuxiu.

There were too many fish in the basket, and a big mandarin fish slipped to the ground.

The head dog, Qingbei, came bounding over, clawing at it and about to bite.

"Silly dog, go, go, let's play." Xu Dahai quickly raised his leg to block it, then bent down and picked up the big fish.

After moving all the fish into the house and resting for a while, the couple hung wax on the fish together.

"With so much fish, I can eat it for a long time."

Wang Xiuxiu dipped the fish in the water and put it on the sack next to it. All the fish were dipped in the water.

The so-called waxing is to form a layer of ice on the surface of the fish. From a distance, it looks like a layer of wax oil, which can well protect the fish meat from deterioration.

After hanging the wax, you don't have to worry about it drying out. You can just put it in the yard and stew one whenever you want to eat it.

"If you dip it in water once, the ice film formed will be too thin. So dip it in water twice more."

"Okay, Xiuxiu, you didn't go there. There are a lot of fish in the river, and they're all jumping out! It's such a beautiful scene, you don't even need to fish it out, just pick it up!"

"Really?? There are too few people eating fish in our village. Many people don't eat fish."

"I've had enough. I don't like it anymore."

Xu Dahai heard from his grandfather that many villagers often ate fish in the hard times, and there was little oil. They just stewed it and sprinkled it with salt.

It's fine to eat once or twice.

Eating too many times is simply torture, and the painful memories are deeply imprinted in the brain. Many people have really eaten enough and now they don’t even eat a bite of fish.

Even the smell of fish makes me sick.

……

at night.

Xu Dahai stewed two wild rabbits.

He put the kang table, poured some wine, brought the fragrant stewed rabbit meat to the table, and ate the rabbit meat while drinking some wine, enjoying himself very much.

The rabbit meat is bright red in color, and the smell of it wafts out! The greedy fat orange cat keeps meowing.

"Meow~meow~"

"Okay, okay, stop rubbing against me, I'll give you a piece."

Xu Dahai tore up a piece of gray straw paper, folded it, placed it on the kang, and placed a piece of rabbit meat on top.

"Meow~"

The fat orange cat yelled happily, wagging the tip of its tail, and hurried over to eat.

"Isn't the lazy cat delicious? If you eat rabbit meat, remember to catch mice."

"Meow~"

……

Wang Xiuxiu was cooking pancakes in the main room. The pancakes were not lard, but the fat from the bear that she had shot earlier.

The flatbread smeared with bear fat tastes very fragrant and delicious.

Soon after, the cake was baked, and Wang Xiuxiu came into the house while listening to the grate carrying the cake: "Try this cake. It's just come out of the pan. How does it taste?"

"Oh, it's a bit hot."

Xu Dahai tore into a piece of steaming pancake, pulled away the big fat cat who was leaning towards him, waited for the temperature of the pancake to drop a little, and then took a bite.

"The skin is so crispy, and the inside is soft and fragrant. It's delicious!"

"Pfft~"

Wang Xiuxiu sat next to her and also took a piece of rabbit meat and ate it:

"There's still a lot left in the can of Mazixiong oil. After baking the cakes this time, I think there's still enough leftover to bake them two more times.

Well, this rabbit meat stew is so delicious. "

The couple chatted and chatted, waiting for their daughter, Xiao Tingzi, to come back from school for dinner.

Without turning on the lights, the afterglow of the setting sun slanted in through the window, illuminating the left half of Xu Dahai's body and the wall behind him.

……

but.

I haven’t waited for Xiao Tingzi to come home.

My cousin Xu Hu came first with an anxious face and hurried steps.

"Is fourth brother at home? Are you eating?"

"Well, Huzi, you're here just in time, come on the Kang! Let's have a drink together."

"Uh... Fourth brother, I have something urgent!" Xu Hu felt like there was grass stuck in his butt, unable to sit still at all:

"Liu Hong feels sick in her stomach, maybe she's about to give birth! I, I...I..."

An old man who was as strong as an ox was so panicked and at a loss that he was almost crying.

Xu Dahai's eyes narrowed and he quickly put down his wine glass.

"Don't worry! Where is the second aunt? Did you ask the second aunt to go?"

"My mother is staying in my hospital. She told me to call the midwife."

Xu Hu wiped away his tears with his sleeve. It seemed that he was influenced by the steady Xu Dahai, and he also calmed down:

"But I don't want to deliver the baby at home. I heard that many people delivered the baby at home and died in childbirth. I'm scared!"

"Then send him to the hospital! Where is the whining Gaha!!?"

"Hey, let's take him to the hospital."

After being yelled at by Xu Dahai, Xu Hu suddenly became more awake and determined to send him to the hospital.

No need to ask, it must be the second uncle and second aunt who don’t want to be sent to the hospital and just want to deliver the baby at home.

In rural areas of this era, most pregnant women did deliver their babies at home. They dared to deliver their babies with a pair of red-hot scissors. It was simply a gamble with their lives.

Quite a few didn’t make it through!

It’s just that the right to speak is in the hands of living people.

As time goes by, the dead people cannot open their mouths to speak and tell what they experienced back then.

The living people did not die, so they gradually forgot about this period of history.

Hurry and borrow the Rongcheng Lin family's ox cart.

I borrowed a bullock cart, laid two quilts on it, and supported Liu Hong, who was pregnant, to lie on it.

"Ouch~Ouch~"

Liu Hong's whole body was wrapped tightly, wearing a thick hat, and she could hardly open her eyes in pain.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get two more pillows. It'll be more comfortable to lean on."

It was already this time, and the second aunt didn't say anything more about not going to the hospital. She quickly went back to the house and took out two pillows.

In fact, she is quite satisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law.

I wanted to deliver the baby at home before, but I thought every household was like this and there was no problem.

……

"shelf!"

Rong Chenglin helped drive the bullock cart, and his second aunt sat on the other side of the bullock cart.
