Chapter 6 third chapter

Sir, the second child delivered by my aunt is me. When my mother gave birth, grandma washed her hands and changed her clothes according to her old rules, lit three sticks of incense, put them in front of the ancestral tablet, kowtowed three times, and then kicked out all the men in the family.My mother is not a primipara. There are two older brothers and one older sister in front of me.Grandma said to my mother: You are familiar with the road, let's give birth slowly by yourself.My mother said to my grandma: Mom, I feel very bad. This time, it is different from before.Grandma disagreed and said, what's the difference?Can you still give birth to a unicorn?

My mother's feeling is correct.My brothers and sisters all came out head first, and I stretched out one leg first. Looking at my calf, grandma was actually petrified.Because there is a slang saying in the country: the legs first, the debt collector.What is a debt collector?That is to say, if the family owed a debt to someone else in the previous life, the creditor would be reincarnated as a child and make the mother suffer. He would either die with the mother or die when he reached a certain age, which would bring great harm to the family. Material loss and mental suffering.But grandma still pretended to be calm and said: This child is an errand runner, and he will serve as a servant when he grows up.Grandma said: Don't be afraid, I have a way.Grandma went to the yard and took a copper basin, held it in her hand, stood in front of the kang, and beat it with a rolling stick, making a "dangdang" sound like knocking a gong.Grandma knocked and yelled: Come out—come out—your master sent you to deliver chicken feather letters, and if you don’t come out, you will be beaten—my mother felt the seriousness of the matter, and she beat the window with a kang broom , Greeting my sister who was listening in the yard: Man, go and call your aunt!

My older sister was very smart, she ran to the village office and asked Yuan Yanyao to call the township clinic.That old crank phone is now in my collection.Because it saved my life. That day was the sixth day of June, and there was a small flood in the Jiaohe River.The bridge deck was submerged, but based on the waves stirred up by the bridge stones, it is possible to determine where the bridge deck is.Du, an idler fishing by the river, saw with his own eyes that my aunt was flying down the opposite river embankment, and the waves splashed by the bicycle wheels were more than one meter high.The current is strong, and if my aunt gets washed in the river, sir, there's no me.

My aunt rushed into the house dripping wet. My mother said that as soon as my aunt came in, she seemed to have taken a reassurance.My mother said that my aunt pushed grandma aside as soon as she entered the door, and said mockingly: "Auntie, how dare he come out if you beat the gongs and drums?"Grandma said emphatically: "Children like to watch the excitement, so why don't they come and watch when they hear the drums and gongs beating?"My aunt later said that she pulled my leg and pulled me out like a carrot. I know this is a joke.After my aunt delivered Chen Bi and me, Chen Bi's mother and my mother became aunt's volunteer propagandists.They showed their stories everywhere, and Yuan Lian's wife and idler Du Ningju also talked about her aunt's flying car stunts to everyone, so her reputation was greatly shaken, and those "old women" were soon no one cared about, and became a relic of history.

From 1953 to 1957, it was a good period for the country's production development and economic prosperity. Our place also had good weather and good harvests year after year.People are well fed, warmly clothed, and in a happy mood, and women scramble to get pregnant and give birth.In those few years, my aunt was very busy.In the eighteen villages of Northeast Gaomi Township, her bicycle tracks are left in every street and alley, and her footprints are left in the yards of most houses. From April 4, 1953 to December 31, 1957, my aunt delivered a total of 1,612 births and delivered 1,645 babies, including six dead babies. Of these six dead babies, five were stillbirths, and one was a congenital disease. This result is quite brilliant, close to perfect.

On February 17, 1955, my aunt joined the Communist Party of China.That day was also the day she delivered her 1,000th baby. This baby is our Junior Brother Li Shou. Auntie said that your Teacher Yu is the most chic maternity.My aunt said that she was busy working downstairs, and Teacher Yu was still preparing a lesson with a textbook there. When my aunt reached her old age, she often missed those days.It was the golden age of China, and it was also the golden age of my aunt. I can't remember how many times, my aunt's eyes were bright, and she said fascinatedly: At that time, I was a living Bodhisattva, I was a concubine, and I exuded the fragrance of flowers, and swarms of bees flew with me, and swarms of bees followed me. Butterflies fly with me.Now, now the fucking flies follow me...

My aunt also gave me my name: my scientific name is Wanzu, and my baby name is Xiaopao. Sorry, sir, let me explain to you: Wanzu is my original name, and Tadpole is my pseudonym.
