Goupiamos insisted on not vomiting, and he didn't spit out a single rice. When he walked back to the village, the sun came down from the ridge of Niuling's house and fell to sit under the screen wall at the gate of Tianbu's courtyard. After lunch, they started feeding the pigs.Pig food is bean leaf bran soaked in swill. After swallowing a few mouthfuls, the pig looks up at the owner standing by the wall of the pigsty. The owner is holding a gourd ladle in his hand. The bran was scattered in the trough, and the pig swallowed a few mouthfuls, then raised its head again.The owner hit the pig's head with a stirring stick, and scolded: You are so greedy! Like scolding a daughter-in-law or a child, he was angry and pitiful, and finally scattered all the wheat bran in the pig trough, saying to the pig Good words to grow fat faster.Changkuan jumped into the pigsty, pressed the back of his white pig with his hand, the spine was protruding like a knife, and said: Oh, why don’t you gain weight, sir! Wang Xing in the other pigsty shoveled it out with a shovel Thin mud, said: length and breadth, now people have no conscience, and pigs also eat food without conscience.Changkuan said: Bald Jin's pig grows so fast. It was caught on the same day as mine, and it is a head bigger than my pig.Kanxing said: The pigs are good-looking, but the pigs we caught are lumpy pigs.Catch baby pigs to see sows, and next year they will go to the town to buy pigs, and the baby pigs of sows in 80% of families can't be bought no matter how cheap they are.Tianbu's daughter-in-law combs her pigs with a comb. She is reluctant to feed the pigs wheat bran, and a layer of red velvet grows under the pig's hair.She asked Kanxing: I heard that Kaishi handed over the pig? Kanxing said: If he didn't pay, what would it cost for the baby to be born? Changkuan said: I thought he was going to kill the pig to entertain the guests.Tianbu's daughter-in-law said: You are talking about the sky, he has such great power? Then she asked Kanxing: How much did you pay? Kanxing said: Third class, almost failed.Mian Yu'er made a lot of noises in the town to beg the people at the buying station, but they reluctantly agreed.But when the pig was on the scale, the pig excreted a lot and urinated again, so it lost five or six catties.Tianbu's daughter-in-law said: This pig won't carry him! The dog peeed moss and came over and said: Your pig is warm and is wearing a red fleece! Tianbu's wife was so angry that she didn't speak.Changkuan said: You can't talk if the dog pee moss.Tianbu's daughter-in-law said: "The pig is stronger than you. Look at your padded jacket! You went to Bacao again?" The dog pee moss said: "Why did you go?" The waves are gone.Goupiati said: "It's good to bully the trough! The pig stopped eating, and listened to Goupiati's talk. Tianbu's daughter-in-law took a food stirring stick and beat it, saying: "Okay, you don't eat for me! It's very good." Well, fuck you, don’t eat! The dog pee moss wrinkled his nose, and suddenly smelled the smell, um, it’s that smell again.Tianbu's daughter-in-law said: You wrinkle me, you wrinkle me! She hit the pig's nose again, and the dog urine moss didn't say that he smelled the smell, so he went home.

Just as Goupimos left, bad news came from the pig feeder: Kaishi's daughter-in-law had a dystocia. At first, it was Mian Yuer's wife who dragged her mother-in-law to run in the alley. The mother-in-law bound her feet, although she let them go later, her feet were deformed and had corns, so she couldn't run fast.Laocheng brought water from the spring and said: Cangma, have you passed the team?! After all, I remembered the incident of the grandfather of Goupiamos in the autumn of 1947. On that day, the reeds and mullah grass on the river bank The flowers were blooming, and the wind blew the tidbits into a layer of red mist on the surface of the Dezhou River. A Kuomintang team passed through the village. That's when Goupimosai's grandfather was dragged into the army, and he has been a drag on Cangma ever since.Laocheng changed his words and said, "Wolf is coming?!" The mother-in-law didn't think Laocheng talked too much, and said, "Hurry up, carry me to Kaishi's house, his wife is having a difficult labor!" Kaishi ran away from home, and when he returned, the news spread throughout the village.

When everyone heard the news, those who fed the pigs stopped feeding the pigs, and the pots that washed the pots stopped washing, and they all ran to Kaishi's house.After eating, Shui Pi sneaked into his room in the East Mansion where he slept, and closed the door. He was used to feeling uncomfortable after a meal, so he had to enter the house and do it quietly with his hands. He knew it was not good for his health. But just can't control it.When he looked at the woman in the New Year picture on the wall, something shot out, and his mother said in the yard: Shuipi, Kaishi's wife has given birth, are you going? Shuipi said through the window: No! He whispered again: I didn’t do anything, so what should I do? His mother said: I heard it was a dystocia.Shui Pi said: Oh.When he opened the door of the mansion, his mother had already left the hospital. He stood at the gate of the courtyard, thinking that Kaishi was only two years older than him, and his wife had already given birth. Let's just have a difficult delivery, he smiled silently, and saw the branch secretary walking over.

The branch secretary said: Shuipi, the slogan on the back eave wall of Mingtang’s house is missing arms and legs, and you don’t make up for it? Shuipi said: That’s because the wall is missing. I asked him to paint the wall first.The branch secretary said, "Is he still a member of Gulu Village? He didn't hesitate?" Shui Pi said, "The first time I urged him, he said that the militia was training and he was not free."The branch secretary said: How much time does it take to cheat? He will be free to play chess with Mazihei all night?! Shuipi said: Yes! I urged him twice, but he said it would cost money, and he has no money .The branch secretary said: The water is stored in the spring, and the soil is piled up in the ground. What does it cost?! Shui Pi said: Yes! , don’t affect the image of Gulu Village! Tianbu’s daughter-in-law ran through the alley, saw the branch secretary, stopped her feet and said: Branch secretary, what do you think is going on? It’s so difficult for Gulu Village to give birth to a baby. The branch secretary said: Do you comb your hair too, your young head looks like a chicken coop! Tianbu's daughter-in-law spit on her hair.The branch secretary said: What are you talking about? Tianbu’s daughter-in-law said: Kaishi’s daughter-in-law said that she gave birth and gave birth, but she didn’t give birth. ?Tianbu's daughter-in-law said: You don't know? How can you not know about this?! The party secretary said: It's ridiculous. I haven't seen someone tell me about such a big matter.The two of them also went to Kaishi's house.

There are already many people standing in the courtyard of Mian Yu'er's house. Kaishi's wife lives in the Xixiazi house.She has been scolding Kai Shi, saying that Kai Shi caused her to suffer such a great crime: I am going to die, Kai Shi, Kai Shi, you are going to live your mother's life! You hurt me! Kai Shi was so angry that he went into the house Hou: You shouted your mother's x, who is the daughter-in-law who doesn't have a baby?! The mother-in-law came out of the house and reprimanded Kai Shi: She is in pain, let her scold a few words, what's the matter, you roar?! Everyone shouted Kaishi went outside the courtyard.Someone outside the courtyard said: The party secretary is here, the party secretary is here! The bald man in the courtyard, Jin, said: The party secretary can't solve the problem.Ma Zihei said: The party secretary is here, can the baby come out to say hello? Tian Ya punched Mazihei on the back, and Mazihei said: Let's go, we don't give birth to grandchildren.The branch secretary entered the courtyard, and Mian Yuer hurriedly got up to get the cigarette box, shouting: "Dog pee moss, dog pee moss, matchlock!" There was no response. I went to Ziwu and asked: Didn’t I hear that the fetal position is still in the right position? Why is it still dystocia? The third aunt said: Yes, I came here first when my stomach hurts. It looked fine, but when the amniotic fluid broke, a hand came out first. Let the silkworm mother come quickly.The branch secretary said: Don’t you want to go to the town? To go to the town is to go to the town health center to have a caesarean section. Seven or eight children in Gulu Village have been born by caesarean section, so that the people of Xichuan Village and Dongchuan Village in Xiahewan practice Gulu Village Every woman has a scar on her stomach.The third aunt said: If you can walk in the human way, you can walk in the human way. I don't think I won't come out. It's just that the adults will suffer.The branch secretary said: If it doesn’t work, let someone tell me, and I will arrange a van to deliver it to the town.After finishing speaking, the branch secretary said to the people in the yard: It’s good for everyone to care about it, just come and see, it’s useless to rush in the yard. Those who repaired the 18-acre weir on the river beach in the afternoon continued to build the weir. He Dongsheng tidied up the shelf car as a precaution.Zaohuo said: Then we don’t work? The branch secretary said: Will you be credited with work points?Bald Jin booed: all go, all go, it's useless for us to be here.Mazihei said, "Really, I've been listening for a long time, and Kaishi's daughter-in-law didn't scold me."Tian Ya said: When will you spit out ivory! Everyone laughed, and the men almost left the yard, and the women were still chirping and chirping under the peach tree in the yard, and Mingtang's wife was pulling peach branches , broke off many small knots, put a knot in his arms, and stuffed a knot in each of the women next to him, saying: "Peach sticks are used to avoid evil, and it will not be difficult to give birth in the future."Give half fragrance, not half fragrance.Dai Hua said: Life is really scary! The wife of Zaohuo said: It is difficult to give birth to a baby now. How have I seen such difficulty before? Kaishi's mother gave birth to four Kaishi brothers, and it is almost like shit .The daughter-in-law of Mingtang said: Why is your man called the stove, because his mother is cooking in the stove and gave birth to the baby. She packed the baby and cooked the food.As they spoke, they giggled and walked out of the hospital in twos and threes.

Mian Yuer sent out the branch secretary, and the branch secretary said: "You prepare the wine, the baby is born, and everyone in Hei Village is coming to drink now. Do you have any appetizers?" Oily radish.The branch secretary said, "Just sauerkraut and radishes? If you don't care about rice, then get some tofu. If you have money, I'll lend it to you."He gave the noodle fish five yuan.The people outside the courtyard saw it and said, "Okay, let's drink and eat tofu tonight!" Mian Yuer saw that it was not early, so he put five yuan in the hat shell and went to Kaihe's house to buy tofu.When I came back, I ran past Mozi's house. Mozi's house had a table for the Eight Immortals, so I borrowed the table, put my head on the bottom of the table, and carried a tofu basket in my hand.As soon as he entered the gate, his wife was crying under the peach tree, and the third aunt persuaded: "It's good for you to be well, don't cry, boil some water quickly, and make poached eggs for the confinement woman."The wife nodded, tearing up, went to the upper house to get the eggs, and ignored the fish.Mian Yu'er felt that something was wrong, put down the table, and asked the third aunt: What's the matter? The third aunt said: Oh, the baby was born, but he was out of breath.Mian Yuer staggered, almost dropped the tofu basket on the ground, and said, "Did you die?" The third aunt said, "You have such a loud voice! When you were born, you were all blue, and you didn't cry when you pumped your butt, thinking that the amniotic fluid choked the baby. The mouth was taken out, and the silkworm mother is now covered with a cage.Mian Yu'er looked into the kitchen, but Third Aunt didn't let him go.

According to the custom of Gulu Village, when a child is lifeless after birth, they are not immediately thrown into a urine bucket or wrapped in straw and thrown to the river beach.In the past, when my mother used this method, most of the dolls died, but there were two or three times when the dolls came back to life.Mian Yu'er, Third Aunt, Dai Hua, and Tian Ya stopped talking, and looked at the kitchen door to hear if the baby was crying.It was dark and the wind was still sweeping against the ground, but the dry grass above the courtyard gate was shaking (口啊) (口啊), and the birds on the top of Zhongshan flew to the sky above the Yao Temple like leaves. Put it into a fan and fan it over the village, and fan it over the yard of Mian Yu'er's house. It was about to land on the roof at an angle, but it flew away again.The mother-in-law came out of the kitchen with a bad complexion, and whispered, "It's hopeless, Mian Yu'er, this kid shouldn't have come to our house, you took the straw bales, and left them in the dark."Mian Yuer's tears flowed down silently.His wife took an egg from the cabinet, her legs were too weak to walk, and she sat on the threshold of the upper room again.The third aunt said: Don't let the noodle fish go, Dai Hua and I will go.I went to the corner of the courtyard to fetch straw, went into the kitchen to wrap up the baby, and when I left the courtyard, my wife Yu’er said: As long as the adults are healthy, I’m afraid I won’t be able to have more babies? Which melon vines don’t have many lies?!

In the alley, people began to come. They came to drink shochu and eat tofu and radish vegetables. When they entered the hospital and knew that the child was not successful, they walked by the door. Mian Yuer said: "The wine is made for everyone, here If you can't drink it, I'll bring it home for you to drink.The visitor brought a small porcelain jar and said, "Then how can I drink this wine?" But he still carried it and left.Those who brought the wine and went back told everyone they met on the road that the child had failed, and many of them refused to go.The branch secretary soon found out about the situation, and said to Ma Shao: You go door-to-door to tell everyone to get wine. The doll failed, but everyone is worried about the doll. Bring some wine back to drink, which also reflects the spirit of our Gulu Village. Ethos?As a result, every family went to someone, carrying a small porcelain jar, and Mian Yuer distributed the wine to everyone. He had already seen the bottom of the wine jar, and he knocked on the edge of the jar with a wooden spoon and said: No more, no more.But in the end, half a spoonful was scraped out, and he started to choke and drink, and fell to the ground together with the urn.

The women don't drink the wine distributed by each family, so the men bring it to Zaohuo's house to drink. Zaohuo's daughter-in-law likes to be lively, and Zaohuo drinking is fun.After drinking for a while, everyone became excited, and almost forgot about Kaishi's child's death, and started shouting and punching.Tianbu was the first to propose to drink at Zaohuo's house. He picked up the pot and drank while shouting: Mingtang, Mozi, Kanxing, and Bald Jin, all bring the wine to Zaohuo's house! Mozi went out, and his wife chased him out and said: It's a tie! Don't you have no memory and just be greedy for drinking, and drink so much that you vomit blood! Put a radish in the mill, and the mill will satisfy its hunger first, so that the cat will not catch the wine in its belly.Bald Jin came out, and Ban Xiang also came out. Bald Jin said: What are you going to do? Who also drinks at a woman’s house? Ban Xiang said: Men have mouths and women are not mouths? There are no women in Gulu Village to drink, start with me What! Baldy Jin left, she also left, Baldy Jin pushed her, she pushed Bald Jin, Baldy Jin had no choice but to go back to the house and pour out a bowl of wine, and said: You drink! He went to the door and asked Tianbu: "Tianbu, how many taels can you drink for a meal?" Tianbu said: "How many taels? You can't drink it for a catty!" Banxiang said: "Okay, next year I made wine and you come and drink it. Let's see you." Can I drink too much, or can I drink you?! Kanxing said: Are you going to have a baby next year? Banxiang said: Can I use my corn to make wine? What kind of baby will I give him a little bald boy? Just laughing, Baldy Jin couldn't hold back his face, threw his wife into the courtyard and closed the courtyard door.Four people walked past the gate of Bacheng's house, and Tianbu shouted: "Bacheng, take the wine to Zaohuo's house to drink!" The window of Bacheng's house was on, but suddenly it went out, and there was no sound.Bald Jin said: Don't bark, that cheapskate won't be tied, save the wine for the New Year.

More than 20 people came from Zaohuo's house, each of them poured the wine they brought into a porcelain basin, and stipulated that no one could keep it, and drink here in Jinhei, and they are not allowed to leave if they can't finish drinking.Goupiati came to Zaohuo's house as soon as he caught the news. Of course he was carrying a matchlock. Zaohuo's daughter-in-law said: "You can run faster than anyone else if you have food and drink!" He asked him to wash the radishes, made two plates of shredded radishes, and seasoned with salt. Ordered two plates of sauerkraut.When the bald Jin came, the bald Jin said: "Goupitai, have you picked up the wine?" Goupitai said: "I don't drink."Bald Jin said: If you don’t drink, someone else will drink it. Take your wine! Goupitai had to go home and pick up his own wine. On the way, he really wanted to drink it himself, but he didn’t have the capacity for alcohol. It was like being on fire, scolding the bald man Jin, and scolding whoever drank his wine tonight is a pig or a dog.After scolding, he still couldn't let go of his hatred, so he spit in the wine jar.

The drink lasted until the rooster crowed three times before the show ended. The smell of alcohol filled the air, and a family of three fluttering pigeons lived in the nest on the elm outside the wall courtyard, flying up and down restlessly.Dog pee moss is not allowed to drink at the table, he always stands by, refills as soon as anyone finishes drinking, and is responsible for monitoring who drinks the wine in the wine cup, and who drinks it into his mouth and spits it out secretly Under the feet, the person who was exposed called the dog pee moss a blind dog.Goupiamos said: I listen to Uncle Tianbu! Tianbu had already drunk his tongue hard, but he pointed to the bald man Jin and said: You drink, you drink! Suddenly he stammered and said: Hey, Mei Li Badou lost, can you? Let it go.Bald Jin said: What are you talking about? Tianbu said: You still pay attention to being a militia. : Tianbu, why don't you train recently? Tianbu said: Training, training tomorrow.Zaohuo said: Hey, when will you take the gun? Let’s go hunting in Nanshan. Can’t we kill wild boars and yellow sheep or pheasants? Make mistakes! Tianbu said: I can make mistakes? My Tianbu has no mistakes! Let Bald Jin drink, if he doesn’t drink, I will fire him, militia qualification, Ge! Bald Jin said: Drink, you can’t drink if you want to drink on weekdays Come on, drink! Let's do six punches! Tianbu said: Six punches are six punches, you put on your hat, I can't see your bald head! Bald Jin got angry and stopped drinking.Mo Zi persuaded Bald Jin, and Bald Jin punched out of anger, but lost five punches in a row, and deliberately shook his hand when holding the wine cup.Gou Uitai watched to see if Bald Jin would shake the wine out, and Bald Jin said: Why are the pigeons screaming so fiercely outside? Here are the eagles?Bald Jin said, "I'm afraid you smell the wine? Come on, drink this cup for me! Goupitai drank it for him."Tianbu said: "You can't replace the wine! Stand up and snatch the cup from the dog's urine moss, and suddenly spit out the dog's urine moss with a cluck. Tianbu went to the yard to vomit! Tianbu said: No, no, just this little wine can make me drunk?! Walking to the door, he turned his head and stared blankly at the dog pee moss.Gou Uitai thought he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly said: I can’t get you drunk! Tianbu actually said: Why, why didn’t you see Bacao? Bacao didn’t pick up the wine?! I think so, but I didn't see Ba ​​Tiao when I shared the wine at night.Mozi said, "He lives alone, I'm afraid I don't know it in the cabin."Dog urine moss, you always go to him, you didn't notify Bacao? Dog urine moss also oh, thinking that he has neglected his duty.Zaohuo said: "Go and let him go to Kaishi's house to drink wine. Don't dare to forget him if you forget anyone!" Gou Diamo lit cigarettes for everyone again, and then went out shaking the match.There were seven or eight dogs standing outside the gate of the courtyard, all of them came for the smell of wine, and the dogs peeed and said: "Let's all go, let's go, they can drink a lot, and they won't vomit for you when they get drunk."He asked Lao Shun's dog to keep him company, but Lao Shun's dog was reluctant, and although he followed him, he muttered and complained along the way. As soon as Tianbu arrived in the yard, he was thinking about going to the toilet, but he tripped over the Chubu stone and vomited on the Chubu stone.Then the mill came out and vomited.The stove in the house said: It’s really bad, how can you vomit if you drink it?! Push the door of the upper room, and the light in the room fell to white. Arrived at the door? Hula spit out a spout.The dog outside the yard squeezed open the door and came in. The dog pee moss arrived at the cabin on the road, and the door of the cabin was locked. He thought it was still during the day and he locked the door and opened it inside. He knocked on the door loudly and shouted, but there was no movement.Looking in through the crack of the door, it was too dark to see, but there was still no movement. At this time, the Ang Chi fish in the river were calling themselves by their names again: Ang Er Chi—— Ang Er Chi——
