Chapter 25 Gu Yanshan

It is in the years of catastrophe, the years when people report, betray, and destroy each other, or the years when they are huddled in their own dwellings and cannot protect themselves, the morality and conscience of life, justice and loyalty have not disappeared, nor Sinking is just manifested in various ways. "Northern soldier" Gu Yanshan is "seeing the world with drunk eyes".That year, Qin Shutian, the iron hat rightist, was sentenced to labor reform, and Hu Yuyin was sent to controlled labor.Lao Gu was terrified for a few days because he was the matchmaker for the black couple.But later it turned out that the Hei couple were humane and kept their promises, and they did not expose and confess him, which saved him from a review.Otherwise, he, Gu Yanshan, would really lose his party and cadre membership.It must be one night at the end of this year, with the old north wind blowing and snow falling with goose feathers.Lao Gu didn't know where he had drunk two or two more and came back. Passing by the door of Laohuji Inn, he suddenly heard "Mother, mother, help me...I'm going to die" moaning in pain, the voice was very loud. Miserable, it sounds creepy. "Hu Yuyin, the new rich farmer, is going to give birth?" This thought flashed into his mind.He immediately walked up the steps, shook the snowflakes on his feet and body, and pushed the door open.The door was not bolted.He walked into the long bunk in Heigu Longdong, and was in the bedroom partitioned by wooden boards. Under the dim oil lamp, he saw Hu Yuyin sleeping on the bed with a big belly, holding the bed ladder desperately with both hands, with a big grain on his finger. Beads of sweat were so painful that I was about to pass out.This scared Gu Yanshan out of his wine.He was a man who had never seen this occasion:

"Yuyin, you, you, are you fast, fast?" "Director Gu, benefactor... come and help me up, pour me some water, give me a drink..." Gu Yanshan was a little timid, his body was a little cold, he was really annoyed that he shouldn't have come into this room.He fumbled and mixed a bowl of warm water for Hu Yuyin to drink.Hu Yuyin drank the water, and asked to pull a towel to wipe her sweat.Hu Yuyin was like a person who fell into the water and was about to drown and suddenly saw a rock, holding Gu Yanshan tightly with both hands: "Director Gu, my benefactor...I'm turning 33 this year...This first child is hard to raise..."

"I, I'm going to call a midwife!" Gu Yanshan was also sweating at this moment. "No, no! Benefactor...don't go! Don't go...the women in the town have already spat at me...I'm afraid of them...you stay with me, I'm dying anyway, big and small I can't even survive...Mother, mother, why did you leave me in this world to do evil!..." "Yuyin! Don't cry, don't cry. Don't speak discouraged words. When it hurts, just shout 'ouch'..." Gu Yanshan, a soldier from the north, suddenly felt soft and broke.An awe-inspiring righteousness suddenly rose from his body, and he decided to take up the burden of saving the lives of the mother and child, and it was his duty to do so.What a new rich farmer, fuck him! As the old saying goes: It is better to build a seven-level pagoda in a hurry.At most, they will be criticized and punished for this matter.As soon as a person has made up his mind, he has no doubts or fears: "Yuyin, Yuyin, don't worry. If you agree, I'll come and give it to you..."

"Benefactor...great benefactor...the working comrades sent by the government should all be people of your color, but they...benefactor, hello, you are my Master Qingtian...With you here, I will I might be able to get through it...you go to boil a pot of water and make me a bowl of egg drop soup...I don't stick my teeth to black water rice all day long... I heard people say that when you raise a cub, you just want to eat it, and you want it Eat, you will have strength when you are full..." Gu Yanshan, as if he heard the order to attack in the guerrillas in the past, quickly boiled water and made egg drop soup, and at the same time listened to the groans of the pregnant women in the bedroom with fear.For some reason, he looked very excited and his mind was very clear.He is full of desire and confidence for a new life to be born.The firelight in the firewood stove illuminated his unshaven face red.He felt that he was carrying out a very important mission, and it was a little mysterious.He himself was a little surprised that he was so excited and joyful all of a sudden.

After Hu Yuyin drank a large bowl of egg drop soup in Gu Yanshan's hands, the labor pain seemed to subside.A strange smile appeared on her face, as if she was a little shy.However, before the delivery of the mother, the masturbation pride of motherhood can discourage death.The mother's body that is pregnant with new life is fearless.Hu Yuyin half-lyed and half-supposed, spread her legs, pointed to her belly that was as big as a big ball, and said: "This little thing kicks and punches inside. It's very naughty. It's probably a fat baby! Don't care about his mother." Lao Tzu's life..."

"Congratulations, Yuyin, congratulations, God bless your mother and child are safe..." Gu Yanshan, who was born and died during the war years, actually said a superstitious sentence. "With you here... I won't be afraid anymore. It wasn't you. Tonight, I would die in pain in this shop. No one would know if I was so hard..." Hu Yuyin said, her eyes were clouded and her throat was covered. went to sleep.Maybe it's because of struggling and suffering all day, and the baby is also tired in the mother's womb.Perhaps a short break before greater pain. Gu Yanshan became anxious now.He had been listening carefully for the sound of cars passing by on the road.After Hu Yuyin fell asleep, he simply turned out of the shop door and waited on the road against the wind and snow.Even if he was sleeping on the road, he would stop any car traveling at night.After a while, the snow stopped and the wind died down.The white snow all over the world reflects the night brightly.Gu Yanshan wrapped his hands into the old army coat, and walked back and forth anxiously in the snow... At this moment, he was like a sentinel.That's right, on the battlefield in Pingjin, he also wore this military overcoat, and he also stood in the snow, waiting for the launch of the General Assembly.

The signal of the attack, looking forward to the dawn of victory... How quickly the days pass, and the world has changed so much! A person's life is sometimes a mystery to him, a mystery that cannot be solved.More than 20 years ago, he stood in the snow in the North China Plain, fighting bloody battles to welcome the birth of a new country and a new society; today, 20 years later, he is standing in the pavement of a small town in the southern mountains. On the road covered with white snow, waiting for a passing car to welcome a new little life.But what kind of new life is this? A descendant of the five black categories, a baby born in an illegal cohabitation, his birth itself is a crime

Evil... things in the world are really too complicated and rich to explain clearly.From time to time, he turned his head to look at the Old Huji Inn.He was eagerly looking forward to hearing the rumble of the cars and seeing the bright beams of their headlights sweeping the snow.He had cursed some time ago for the dust and mud the car brought.But now he regards the car as a spiritual object to save the lives of Hu Yuyin's mother and son, and also to save him from the predicament.It can be seen that neither material civilization nor spiritual civilization can be cursed. After a while, he finally stopped a truck, and it was from the People's Liberation Army.A large military underground warehouse was built in a nearby cave a year ago.After listening to the explanation of the situation by the local cadre who spoke pure northern dialect, the driver of the People's Liberation Army immediately let him into the car and reversed the car to Laojiekou.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Yanshan pushed Hu Yuyin into the driver's cab, Hu Yuyin's labor pain broke out again, convulsing and moaning in his arms.Thanks to the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, the car drove fast and steadily, and drove straight into the military hospital in the deep mountain valley. Hu Yuyin was immediately carried into the diagnosis room on the second floor.In the long and quiet corridor, the lights are clean and bright.Male and female doctors and nurses in white coats came in and out through a glass door. It seemed that the condition of the mother was serious.Gu Yanshan waited by the glass door, not daring to leave even one step.The diagnosis room is like a fairy tower, and the doctors and nurses are like fairies, and ordinary people like him are not allowed to enter.After a while, a doctor with a red collar on the collar of his white coat came out to look for him with a medical record card. It wasn't until the military doctor took off his big mask that he realized it was a young woman.

"Are you the mother's lover? What's your name? What unit?" Gu Yanshan's face was burning hot, he was at a loss for a while, and nodded indiscriminately.The matter has come to this point, what should I do if I don’t nod? Saving people is the most important thing.He stammered and reported his name and unit.The female doctor wrote on the medical record card one by one, and then told him: "Because of your older age, your wife suffered from malnutrition during pregnancy, and the baby's fetal position is not correct, so a caesarean section is required. Please sign."

"Laparotomy?" Gu Yanshan gasped, his eyes widened.He couldn't care less about blushing.His heart was pounding, and he looked at the red collar badge on the military doctor's collar for a long moment before he collected himself.I am also from this team.This team has always been the people's soldiers, responsible to the people and loving the people.Although there have been various changes in the past ten or twenty years, he believes that the fundamentals have not changed at all.So he nodded again, took the pen from the female military doctor, and signed the words "Gu Yanshan" crookedly.In this case, whether he misunderstood or not, he had to temporarily assume the responsibility of being a husband and father. Hu Yuyin lay flat on a trolley and was pushed out of the diagnosis room.In the corridor, Hu Yuyin tightly squeezed Gu Yanshan's arm.Gu Yanshan followed the trolley to the door of the operating room.All the doctors and nurses went in, and the door of the operating room was closed immediately. He stood guard at the door again, walking back and forth, his heart burning like fire.How much he looked forward to being able to hear the cries of the baby when it was taken out through the doors. Hu Yuyin must bleed a lot, a lot of blood... God, this night, living in the depths of his feelings, Opened up a new field... He felt the greatness of life, and it was amazing to be a mother.They conceive new life and produce new people.With people, the world is full of joy and pain.Why is there suffering in this world? And there is still hatred? Especially in the world created by our Communist Party, the workers and peasants, and the country we sit on, we have to fight endlessly, endlessly, year after year.Some people's eyes are smoky, their hearts are hardened, and they take fighting and punishing others as their profession and responsibility.What was all this for? For what? He didn't understand.He is not well-educated, does not know what the "theory of human nature" is, his level is limited, and his thinking is not clear. The "sorghum flower with one head" has been poisoned so deeply by the "theory of the extinguishment of class struggle" and "theory of human nature"... He passed four long hours of hard thinking.At dawn, Hu Yuyin was pushed out of the cart.A small life wrapped in the hospital's white cotton skirt lay beside her.But Hu Yuyin's complexion was like a piece of paper, her eyes were closed tightly, as if she was dead. "Dead?" Gu Yanshan's heart jumped to his throat, and his eyes were filled with tears.The little nurse pushing the cart was careful, noticed the despair on his face, and immediately told him: "The baby is safe. The mother is under general anesthesia, and the anesthetic has not yet woken up...'Alive! Alive!" He didn't yell, even I forgot to ask when I gave birth to a boy or girl. "Alive! Alive!" The hallway of the hospital was quiet, but it seemed to be echoing the shouting from the depths of his heart. According to hospital regulations, mothers and babies are cared for separately.A small numbered card is attached to the baby's gauze cotton skirt.Gu Yanshan was allowed to enter the ward to take care of the mother.A glass bottle was hanging on the bedside stand, and Hu Yuyin was being given a "diaphragm".It was not until noon that Hu Yuyin woke up from her lethargy.She saw Gu Yanshan at first sight.She stretched out her limp hand without infusion, and placed it on Gu Yanshan's palm.Like a gentle and happy husband, Gu Yanshan gently stroked the back of Hu Yuyin's hand.At this time, the little nurse came in and told the "couple" that a fat little baby was born last night. Son, love to cry.The serial number is "7011".This is great, Hu Yuyin cried, and Gu Yanshan's eyes were red, and tears came down.The little nurse is quite experienced: this is not surprising, all middle-aged couples who have children will cry like them, crying with joy.The little nurse injected Hu Yuyin with a hypnotic injection, and asked, "What name do you give your fat boy?" Hu Yuyin glanced at Gu Yanshan, and without discussing it, she said to the little nurse, "Gu Jun. His last name is , the army of the People's Liberation Army." Said, soon fell asleep. Because the wound needed to be healed and the mountain was closed by heavy snow, and mainly because of Gu Yanshan's intentional delay, Hu Yuyin stayed in the military hospital for fifty days.During this time, Gu Yanshan left early and returned late every day, commuting between Furong Town and the military hospital.Fortunately, at this time, he was a consultant of the grain station, and in fact he had been standing aside all the time, without any specific work burden.All the neighbors in the town know that Hu Yuyin, a new rich farmer, gave birth to a fat cub, the offspring of Qin Shutian, a reformer through labor.For the rest, they were not very interested.Even a few benevolent old wives, only after Hu Yuyin returned to the Old Huji Inn from the military hospital, did they sneak a look at the cubs reborn in misery, and left some cooked chickens or something. However, Gu Yanshan was reported to the County Grain Bureau and the Public Security Bureau to ask about the situation.But both the head of the Food Bureau and the head of the Public Security Bureau went south with him, and they belonged to the first type of liberalism: fellow countrymen, colleagues, and comrades-in-arms.They all knew that Gu Yanshan was an honest and hopeless person, even though he was confused, he would definitely not be able to do any serious bad things, and also "lacked masculine functions", so it would be useless to send him a woman, so they made a joke of him , no further investigation.Later, Furong Town and the Commune Revolutionary Committee continued to send materials to the county, but they did not pay attention.Even Secretary Yang Mingao scoffed: "Worthless, it's not worth mentioning."But the organization department still gave him the punishment of "stop organizing life". In this way, it virtually made it legal for Gu Yanshan to properly take care of Hu Yuyin's mother and child in daily life.Later, it gradually became a habit and was acquiesced by the residents of the town.Until the fall of the "Gang of Four" and until the baby was seven or eight years old, although Gu Yanshan and Hu Yuyin were not close relatives, they cared for each other and respected each other.Gu Yanshan said: Qin Shutian is about to return home after serving his sentence, and then add a surname in front of the cub's name: Qin.Anyway, Wawa has always been a "black man". The commune and the brigade did not recognize him, and refused to register him.Gu Yanshan is the "foster father" of this "little black devil".This situation is listed as a strange incident in the middle and late stages of the "Cultural Revolution" in Furong Town. "Master," one day, Hu Yuyin pulled the baby and said to Gu Yanshan in the tone of the baby, "people all over the street are whispering that the people in the town have put up famous posts, and the superiors have approved the text." Come on, I want to promote you to be the secretary and director of the town. Wang Qiushe is going to sneak back to his stilted building! In fact, in the new society, the people's government should be in power and in charge of the old cadres like you!" "Mo Xin, Mo Xin, Yuyin!" Gu Yanshan shook his head with a wry smile, "I even organize the life The work has not been resumed, and it is still hanging.Unless Li Guoxiang and Yang Mingao are dismissed or transferred Walk……" "Grandpa, it's me and my baby who got you into trouble... For us, you have been blamed for so many years..." Hu Yuyin's eyes were red, and she started to cry. "Hehe, it's been so many years, your tears are like well water, don't let them dry..." Gu Yanshan comforted.He caressed the baby with both hands, and he was also consoling himself: "The world is better now. The superior has written a letter to rehabilitate you and Shutian. Me, if I am really appointed as the leader of the town, the burden will be too heavy. It's heavy. The work in this town is a mess, and we have to start from scratch. The first thing is to manage the Furong River... These days, I can't sleep at night..." Before taking office, the "Northern Soldier" couldn't sleep.Hu Yuyin smiled with tears in her eyes.The baby also laughed.Suddenly the doll yelled: "Mom! Dear Lord! I heard that Uncle Li is going to be his brigade secretary again! Uncle Li promised to register my household registration last night, so I'm not a black man anymore!"
