Chapter 5 born

In the autumn of 1958, the young Sun Guangcai met Zheng Yuda, who later became the director of the Commercial Bureau, on the way to the South Gate.In his later years, Zheng Yuda narrated the original scene to his son Zheng Liang.Zheng Yuda, who was in his dying years, was suffering from lung cancer at that time, and his narration was full of the roar of his lungs.Despite this, Zheng Yuda laughed loudly at the reenactment of the original scene. As a member of the rural working group, Zheng Yu arrived at the south gate to inspect the work.The young Zheng Yuda was wearing a gray Zhongshan suit and a pair of Jiefang brand sneakers. His hair parted in the middle was blowing back slightly in the wind in the field.My father was wearing double-breasted clothes, and the cloth shoes on his feet were made by my mother under the oil lamp.

My father Sun Guangcai transported a shipment of vegetables to a neighboring county to sell half a month ago. After selling out, Sun Guang had a whim and decided to enjoy the car ride, so he came back alone.The empty boat was sent back by two other people in the village rowing oars. Sun Guangcai, whose face was flushed, saw Zheng Yuda in Zhongshan suit when he was approaching the south gate.So the city cadre started talking with farmer Sun Guangcai. At that time, there was a mess of prosperity in the fields, and some small blast furnaces piled up with blue bricks were placed among large rice seedlings.

Zheng Yuda asked, "Is the People's Commune good?" "Okay." Sun Guangcai said. "There is no money for food." Zheng Yuda frowned: "How can you say that." Then Sun Guangcai asked Zheng Yuda: "do you have a wife?" "Yes." "Did you sleep with your wife last night?" Zheng Yuda was not used to such inquiries, so he said with a sullen face: "Don't talk nonsense." Sun Guangcai didn't care about Zheng Yuda's attitude, he told Zheng Yuda: "I haven't slept with my wife for half a month." He pointed to his crotch, "I lost my temper here."

Zheng Yuda turned his face away, not looking at Sun Guangcai. My father and Zheng Yuda broke up at the entrance of the village.Zheng Yuda walked to the village, and my father ran to the vegetable field beside the village.My mother and several women in the village were weeding in the vegetable field. My young mother’s face was as lively and healthy as a red apple.Sun Guangcai saw his wife's slightly trembling back while weeding, and shouted hungrily at her: "Hey." My mother turned around and saw my father standing in the path full of life. She uttered the corresponding cry:

"Hey." "Come here." My father continued to shout. With a rosy face, the mother took off her headscarf and came patting the dirt off her clothes.The mother's carelessness annoyed the father so much that he shouted at her: "I'm going to suffocate to death, why don't you run fast." Amidst the laughter of those women, the mother ran towards the father shaking her body. His father's patience at the time could not keep him at home. As soon as he reached the open door of old man Luo's house at the entrance of the village, his father shouted inside:

"anyone there?" After confirming that no one was inside, the father rushed in immediately.But the mother was still standing outside the house, and the father said anxiously: "Come in." Mother hesitated: "This is someone else's house." "You come in." After my mother walked in, my father quickly closed the door and dragged a bench from the corner to the center of the room.Then command mother: "Quick, take off." My mother lowered her head, lifted her clothes and undid her trouser belt.But half a minute later, she told her father apologetically:

"The belt is tied in a knot and I can't untie it." Father stomped his feet anxiously: "Aren't you hurting me?" Mother lowered her head and continued to untie her belt, as if she knew she was wrong. "Okay, okay, I'll come." Father squatted down and pulled his trouser belt vigorously.The father's neck was also sprained after the belt snapped.When my father was so lustful, he still found time to cover his neck and howl.My mother hurriedly pushed and rubbed my father's neck with her hands, and my father shouted angrily: "Still lying down."

My mother lay docilely, one leg pulled out in the autumn air. Her eyes were still restlessly on his neck.My father clambered up onto my mother's body with his hands over his neck, fulfilling the mission of desire on the bench.A few chickens in old man Luo's house croaked enthusiastically and wanted to join in. They seemed to be dissatisfied with Sun Guangcai taking everything all by himself, so they gathered at his feet and pecked his feet with their beaks.It was supposed to be a moment of undivided attention, but my father was forced to fiddle with his feet all the time to drive away the few unmannered chickens.After being driven away, the chickens quickly gathered around his feet and continued to peck at his feet.The father's feet waved in vain, and when the last moment came, the father cried out dully:

"Never mind." Then there was the creepy moan, the father's joyful moan was only halfway through, and the chicken pecked his feet and caused his whole body to itch, after which his father let out a giggling, top-heavy laugh. After everything was over, my father left old man Luo's house and went to find Zheng Yuda.The mother came home with her trousers, and she needed a new belt. When his father found Zheng Yuda, Zheng Yuda was sitting in the room of the team committee listening to the report.My father beckoned to Zheng Yuda mysteriously.After Zheng Yuda came out, his father asked him.

"Hurry up?" Zheng Yuda was puzzled, and asked him instead: "What is it fast?" "My wife and I are done with that," said the father. Zheng Yuda, a cadre of the Communist Party, immediately became serious, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Go away." When Zheng Yuda mentioned this matter again in his later years, he realized that there was a lot of fun hidden in it, so he expressed tolerance and understanding for my father's behavior at the beginning.He told Zheng Liang: "It's the same with farmers." That bench acquaintance between my father and mother was the first beginning of my long life.

I came to this world during the busy time of harvesting rice.When I was born, my father Sun Guangcai lost his temper in the rice field because of the unbearable hunger.My father has long forgotten the unbearable hunger, but he still vaguely remembers the scene of being angry.My first knowledge of the circumstances of my birth came from my father's drunken lips.One summer evening when I was six years old, my father recounted the situation indifferently. He pointed to a hen walking not far away and said: "Your mother laid you out like it lays eggs." Since the mother has been pregnant for more than nine months, the mother no longer cuts rice in those busy farming days.As my mother said later, at that time Zao "was not weak, but unable to bend down." The mother took on the responsibility of delivering lunch to the father.So under the blinding sun, my mother came to my father's field with noon, carrying a basket on her belly and a blue checkered turban on her head.The scene of my mother walking towards my father with a smile was very moving in my later imagination. At noon on the day I was born, my father Sun Guangcai straightened up exhausted dozens of times to look at the path, but my mother with a protruding chest never appeared.Seeing the surrounding villagers continue to cut rice after eating, Sun Guangcai, who was suffering from hunger, stood at the head of the field and shouted angrily at his father and mother. The mother didn't appear on the path until after two o'clock in the afternoon. Her head was still wrapped in the blue check scarf, her face was frighteningly pale, and her body was obviously tilted due to the weight of the basket when she walked. The dizzy father, seeing the staggering mother, seemed to feel that her appearance had changed, but he didn't care about these, he yelled at the approaching mother: "You want to starve me to death." "No." The mother replied softly, and she said, "I gave birth." That's when my father discovered that her round and plump stomach had deflated. Mother was then able to bend down, and although it made her weak to face severe pain, she still took food from the basket for father with a smile on her face, and whispered to him: "The scissors are far away and it is inconvenient to pick them up. The baby has to be washed after birth. I brought you food a long time ago, but it hurts before I leave the house.I knew I was going to give birth, and I wanted to get the scissors, but the pain was so painful that I couldn’t walk..." Her father interrupted her chatter impatiently: "Is it a man? Or a woman?" The mother replied: "It's a man."
