Chapter 5 Chapter two

Sir, the haste to tell the story of the great-grandfather is in order to tell the story of the aunt in a leisurely manner. My aunt was born on June 13, 1937 in the Gregorian calendar, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Her baby name was Duanyang, and her scientific name was Wanxin.Her name was given by her grandfather, which not only respects the local customs, but also has a profound meaning.After the grandfather sacrificed, the grandmother died of illness in Pingdu City.The Jiaodong Military Region made great efforts to rescue through the inside line, and rescued the grandma and aunt out of the cage.Grandma and aunt were taken to the liberated area, where my aunt attended the Anti-Japanese Primary School, and grandma was working in a bedding factory to get shoe soles.After liberation, the descendants of martyrs like my aunt had many opportunities to go far away, but my grandmother was hard to leave, and my aunt was reluctant to leave her.

The county leader asked my aunt what she wanted to do, and my aunt said that she wanted to inherit her father's career, so she entered the special district health school.My aunt was only sixteen years old when she graduated from the health school, and she was practicing medicine in the town health center.The County Health Bureau opened a training class for the new method of midwifery, and sent my aunt to learn it. Since then, my aunt has forged an indissoluble bond with this sacred work.From receiving the first child on the fourth day of April 1953 to the Spring Festival last year, my aunt said that she delivered a total of 10,000 children, and those who cooperated with others counted as one.She also told you this herself.I estimate that 10,000 children is probably an exaggeration, but there are always seven or eight thousand children.My aunt had seven apprentices. One of them, nicknamed "Little Lion", had fluffy hair, a flat nose and square mouth, and acne on his face. He was an admirer of my aunt. If my aunt asked her to kill people, she would immediately go there with a knife. Don't ask indiscriminately at all.

As we said earlier, in the spring of 1953, women in our area were quite resistant to the new method of midwifery.Those "grandmothers" spread rumors and slandered her in private. Although my aunt was only seventeen years old at the time, she had become an influential figure in Northeast Gaomi Township and everyone looked up to her because of her extraordinary experience since she was a child and her golden background. important people. Of course, my aunt's appearance is also outstanding.Don't talk about the head, don't talk about the face, don't talk about the nose or eyes, just talk about the teeth.Our place is a high-fluoride area, young and old, all bared their black teeth.My aunt lived in the Jiaodong liberated area for a long time when she was young, drank the clear spring in the mountains, and learned to brush her teeth with the Eighth Route Army. Perhaps it was for this reason that her teeth were not poisoned.My aunt had a set of white teeth that we, especially girls, envied.

The first child delivered by my aunt was Chen Bi.My aunt expressed regret for this.She said that the first child she delivered was supposed to be a descendant of the revolution, but she unexpectedly delivered a son of a landlord.But at that time, in order to open up the situation and get rid of the old method of delivery, my aunt didn't have time to consider this issue. When my aunt got the news that Ai Lian was about to give birth, she flew back riding a bicycle that was still rare at that time, carrying a medicine box on her back.It took only ten minutes for my aunt to go from the township health center to the ten-mile road in our village.At that time, the wife of the village party secretary Yuan Mian was washing clothes by the Jiaohe River. She saw her aunt speeding across the small narrow stone bridge with her own eyes.A dog playing on a small bridge panicked and fell into the river.

When my aunt rushed into the two rooms where Ailian lived with her medicine box in hand, Tian Guihua, the "old lady" of the village, was already there.This is an old woman with a pointed mouth and shrunken cheeks. She was over sixty years old at the time, and now she has already turned into clay, Amitabha!Tian Guihua belonged to the active intervention group. When my aunt entered the door, she saw that she was straddling Ailian, squeezing Ailian's protruding abdomen hard.The old woman suffered from chronic bronchitis, and her wheezing gasps mixed with the hog-killing howls of a pregnant woman, creating a heroic and tragic atmosphere.The landlord, Chen E, knelt in the corner of the wall, bumping his head against the wall like a bug, muttering some vague words.

I have been to Chen Bi's house many times, and I am familiar with the structure of his house.They were two wing rooms with doors facing west, with low eaves and small rooms.As soon as you enter the door, you will see the pot and stove. Behind the pot and stove is a two-foot-high partition wall, and behind the wall is the earth kang.As soon as my aunt entered the door, she could see the scene on the kang.When my aunt saw the scene on the kang, she felt furious. In her own words, she called it "furious".She threw down the medicine box, rushed up, grabbed the old woman's left arm with her left hand, and grabbed the old woman's right shoulder with her right hand, and turned to the right back hard, throwing the old woman under the kang.The old woman hit her head on the urine pot, and the urine flowed all over the floor, and the room was filled with shame.The old woman's head was broken, and dark blood flowed out.In fact, her injuries were not serious, but she screamed and howled, which was very exaggerated.Most people would faint when they heard such crying, but my aunt was not afraid. My aunt was a person who had seen the world.

Auntie stood in front of the kang, put on rubber gloves, and said to Ai Lian solemnly: Don't cry or howl, because crying and howling won't help.If you want to live, just follow my orders, and you can do whatever I tell you to do.Ai Lian was shocked by her aunt, of course she knew about her aunt's glorious background and legendary experience.The aunt said: You are an advanced mother, and the fetal position is not correct.People's children always stick out their heads first, you child, stretch out one hand first, and hide your head inside.Later, my aunt made fun of Chen Bi many times, saying that he stretched out his hand before his head came out, as if he wanted to ask the world for something.Chen Bi always replied: begging for food!

Although my aunt delivered the baby for the first time, she was calm-headed.Don't panic when things happen, you can play a very good skill with a five-point skill. My aunt is a talented obstetrician and gynecologist. She has inspiration in her head and feeling in her hands when she does this job.Women who have seen her deliver or have been delivered by her are all in admiration.My mother told us many times during her lifetime: Your aunt's hands are different from others.Ordinary people's hands are sometimes cold, sometimes hot, sometimes stiff, and sometimes sweaty, but your aunt's hands are the same in five winters and six summers, they are soft and cool, not the kind of loose softness, but the kind of... how to say Well... the educated brother said: Isn't it like hiding needles in the cotton, softness with rigidity?Mother said: Exactly.The coldness of her hands is not as cold as ice cubes, but the kind... the educated brother added for his mother: it is hot inside and cool outside, like silk, cool like precious jade.The mother said: Exactly, as long as her hand touches the patient, seventy percent of the sickness will disappear.My aunt was almost deified by the women in the village.

Eileen is a lucky woman, of course she is a smart woman first.As soon as her aunt's hand touched her belly, she felt a kind of strength.She later told everyone that her aunt had the demeanor of a general.Compared with her aunt, the woman crying by the urinal was a clown.Inspired and shocked by her aunt's scientific attitude and majestic demeanor, the pregnant woman Ailian saw the light and developed courage, and the pain that pierced her liver and lungs seemed to have eased a lot.She stopped crying, listened to her aunt's order, cooperated with her aunt's movements, and gave birth to the baby with the big nose.

Chen Bi was not breathing when he was born, but his aunt lifted him upside down and patted his back and chest, finally making him cry like a cat.My aunt said: This little guy, why is his nose so big?Like a Yankee!At this moment, my aunt was full of joy, just like a craftsman finished his first work.A bright smile bloomed on the tired face of the pregnant woman.My aunt is a person with a strong sense of class, but the moment she drags the baby out of the birth canal, she will forget about class and class struggle. The joy she feels is a pure, pure human emotion. Hearing that the little wife gave birth to a baby boy, Chen E climbed up from the corner.He was at a loss and turned around in the narrow space of the stove.Two lines of honey-like tears flowed from his dry eye sockets.The ecstasy in his heart cannot be described in words.There are many things he wants to say but dare not say, what about incense, clan, for a person like him, it is a sin to speak out.

Auntie told Chen E, since the child has such a big nose, why not just call him Chen Bi! Auntie was just a joke, but the statement, as if she had received an imperial decree, nodded and bowed and said: Thank you, Xingu, for giving me the name! Thank you for your name.Hello Chen Bi, let me call you Chen Bi! Amidst Chen E's thousands of thanks and Ai Lian's mother-in-law's tears, my aunt packed up the medicine box and prepared to go back.Auntie saw that Tian Guihua was sitting there with her back against the wall and facing the broken urine tank, as if she was asleep.Auntie didn't know when she changed into this posture, nor could she remember when her creepy howling stopped.My aunt said she thought she was dead, but only after seeing her eyes glowing green like a cat's in the dark, did she know she was alive.Waves of anger surged in my aunt's heart.My aunt asked: Why don't you leave? !The old woman actually said: I did half of this job, and you did half; I only need one towel and five eggs, but you broke my head. For your mother's sake, I won't go to the government to sue You are dead, but you must give me your towel to bandage the wound, and give me your five eggs to nourish my body.It was only then that the aunt remembered that these "old women" were going to ask for property from the puerpera's family, and she was filled with disgust.What a shame, what a shame!The aunt gritted her teeth and said: Why did you do half of this job?If I let you do it all, there will be two corpses on the kang now!You old witch, do you think that a woman's vagina is like an old hen's butt, and when you squeeze it hard, the eggs will pop out?Are you a midwife?No, you are murdering!You still want to sue me?The aunt flew up and kicked the old woman in the jaw.You still need towels and eggs!My aunt kicked the old woman's buttocks again. Then, carrying the medicine box with one hand and the hair bun on the back of the old woman's head with the other, she dragged her into the yard.Chen E came out to persuade him to make peace, but his aunt scolded angrily: "Go back!"Take care of your wife! My aunt said it was the first time in her life that she hit someone.My aunt said that she didn't expect me to be so good at beating people.My aunt kicked the old woman's ass again.The old woman rolled over, got up, sat on the ground and slapped her hands on the ground, screaming: Help!I was beaten to death... I was beaten to death by the daughter of a robber in Wanliu Mansion... It was in the evening, with the setting sun, sunset glow, and breeze, most of the villagers were standing on the side of the street eating with big bowls in their hands. When they heard the noise here, they trotted over.The village party secretary Yuan Face and the team leader Lu Ya also came.Tian Guihua was Lu Ya's distant aunt, and she was close to her. Lu Ya said, "Wan Xin, you are a young girl, and you beat an old man. Don't you feel ashamed and flustered?" My aunt said to us: What is he Lu Ya?The beast that beat his wife to crawl all over the ground, dare to teach me a lesson? My aunt said: What old man?Old monster, evil spirit!You ask her, what did she do? How many people died by your hands, my old lady has a gun in her hand, she will kill you immediately!The aunt stretched out her right index finger and pointed at the old lady's head.My aunt was a seventeen-year-old girl at the time, and she made a lot of people laugh by calling herself an "old lady". Lu Ya still wanted to argue for Tian Guihua, the party secretary Yuan Lian said: "Doctor Wan is right, this kind of witch who takes human life as a joke should be severely punished!"Tian Guihua, don't play tricks, beating you is considered light, and you should be sent to the classroom!From now on, anyone who has a baby in the family will go to Dr. Wan!Tian Guihua, if you dare to deliver a baby again, your dog's paw will be chopped off! My aunt said that although Yuan Lian was uneducated, he could see trends clearly and uphold justice, so he was a good cadre.
