Chapter 141 No moisture

It was the time when vegetables were harvested.

Liu Qingqing bought a large bag for five cents.

As she was about to reach her home, a woman in her forties came out of the door a few doors away from her home.

She looked at Liu Qingqing, and then focused her eyes on the eggplant sticking out of the cloth bag.

"Big sister, did you just buy this?"

Many families in the compound have vegetable plots, and they basically won't buy vegetables. This young wife doesn't know how to make a living.

When she looked at Liu Qingqing, Liu Qingqing was also looking at her.

She had splayed eyebrows, triangular eyes, slightly protruding cheekbones, and slightly thin lips.

She looked a bit mean and difficult to deal with.

Liu Qingqing hummed, took out the key and opened the door.

The woman stepped aside and whispered: "Do you need to buy these vegetables? We have them at home. You just moved in and didn't plant them, right? I have some at home. Next time you go to my house, I'll pick some for you."

Liu Qingqing showed her teeth: "No need, sister-in-law. Everyone is in a tight spot. How can I take your vegetables for free?"

She didn't say it was free. The woman raised her eyebrows and said: "You don't need to pay for them. Just bring some food to exchange."

Liu Qingqing smiled and said: "Oh, so you still need food. My family is short of food."

After saying that, she opened the door and entered the yard.

The woman curled her lips, but didn't say much. She turned around and went back to the yard.

I think this newcomer is just like their family, living in poverty.

I heard that he was from the same village. Anyone from the same village had to send money back home.

Although the men in this compound had high salaries, many of them were not well off and had to support their parents, in-laws, brothers, etc.

Usually, they had to take the men's quota home so that the whole family could eat.

Life was very tight.

After Liu Qingqing entered the house, she laid out the soy sauce, vinegar, and salt.

Vegetables were also placed on the wooden shelf.

She took out some extra vegetables on purpose.

As for meat, there was no meat.

Just think about how hard life is.

It's not as good as when I was at home.

"Baby, eat light food recently, so that you won't be too big to go out in the last two months."

The baby in her belly didn't move, and Liu Qingqing felt bored.

Okay, the baby in her belly is not a genius baby.

Usually, she gives the baby prenatal education, and only occasionally gives a few small punches.

Not only is it not a little genius, but also a lazy baby.

...

——————————

After dinner, Guo Fengjuan brought her daughter Xiaoxue to visit.

She only took care of Qiu Xiaoshuang once, and never brought her to Liu Qingqing again.

"Sister, you graduated from high school!" Guo Fengjuan was surprised.

Liu Qingqing nodded. Although she didn't go to high school, her high school knowledge was not watered down. After all, she got it through exams after getting up early and working late.

At that time, high school only lasted for two years, and there was not much to learn, and there was no college entrance examination.

Their generation was harder than students at that time, and it was more bitter than drinking coptis water.

The most important thing was that they overcame all difficulties to get into college, and after graduation, they worked 996 in the company, and their mobile phones had to be 007.

Guo Fengjuan was surprised: "Oh, then you can go to work in the service agency, or you can go to the city school to be a teacher."

The service agency requires academic qualifications, but now it is full, and you may not be able to go if you want to.

It would be nice to be a teacher in the city. The schools where their children are from the military region are connected to the army. If the military family members have enough education, they can ask the leaders to coordinate.

She originally wanted to ask her whether she wanted to go to the canteen or the textile factory when her child was ready for the nursery.

They generally have low education, especially those who came from the village, who are either illiterate or have only primary school education.

There are very few with high school education. In the whole compound, the military wives with high school education are basically in the service center.

Liu Qingqing smiled and touched her belly: "You can't go anywhere for now."

Guo Fengjuan looked over as she moved: "You don't have to worry, wait until the baby is born, it will grow quickly, and when it is about seven or eight months old, you can send it to a nursery."

"Can such a young child be in a nursery?" He can't walk or talk, won't he cry all day?

Guo Fengjuan pointed at Xiaoxue squatting by the door and playing: "My eldest child was born in my hometown, and I took care of him until he was four years old before coming here. This youngest child was born in the army, and I sent him to the nursery when he was six months old. I just need to go there every few hours to feed the child. The nursery is full of our military wives, and our sister-in-law Yu Qing from the first group is also there. They all have good connections. She can take good care of the child and won't let the child down."

Liu Qingqing nodded: "This nursery has solved many people's problems."

"That's right. Thanks to the nursery, I went back to work in the textile factory early."

Liu Qingqing said so, but she didn't plan to send her child there.

No matter how careful you are, it will be painful to leave your own child in the hands of others.

And what about those children? They are so busy that they are dizzy and dizzy. Children under one year old can't even tell when they pee, and they will get rashes on their buttocks after a long time.

At least they should be able to run and jump, and speak fluently.

Their family has no burden, and they have their own small treasury, so they don't have to wait for her to work to earn that little money.

Chapter 142 Borrowing Money

I had originally thought that they would have to arrange a meal for those who had just arrived.

After asking Song Jinglin, I realized that there was no such convention here.

Although the conditions in the military compound were good these days, they were only relative.

In a period when supplies were scarce everywhere, a place like theirs with a strict work style would not engage in "corruption".

Liu Qingqing once again overturned the book she had read...

After living there for a week, she knew only a handful of military wives in the compound.

This was not surprising, as she knew from her casual chat with Guo Fengjuan.

There are few idle people in their military compound. They all go to work in the factory during the day, and have to take care of the children, sew, mend, and wash at night.

Except for occasionally taking work to sit for a while at the homes of friends.

Most of the time, they are busy at home.

Liu Qingqing doesn't like strangers to visit her.

Especially the second sister Lu sitting in her living room. It's not a title, but the full name is the second sister Lu.

She had never heard of this person before, and after asking a few questions, she found out that the other party's husband and Song Jinglin were not in the same group.

Liu Qingqing frowned and looked at Song Jinglin next to her.

Song Jinglin shook his head, indicating that he was not familiar with her man.

This is interesting. The houses in the family compound are basically grouped together.

I am not familiar with her and live far away.

Why did you think of visiting her home?

This second sister Lu has been talking since she sat on the chair. Even if no one said anything, she was still talking happily.

She was holding a girl in her hand, jumping up and down, but second sister Lu held her tightly and didn't let her run around.

Seeing this, Song Jinglin said hello and went out.

In less than two minutes, Guo Fengjuan from next door came over with Xiaoxue.

"Hey, what a coincidence, Sister Lu, why are you here to visit? I haven't seen you for a while."

Second sister Lu smiled dryly: "I heard that a new sister-in-law came, so I came to see her when I had time."

Liu Qingqing smiled and said: "Sister Guo, come and sit down. Sister Lu suddenly came to visit me and I didn't react."

Guo Fengjuan smiled, but before she could say anything, the door rang. She looked out and saw that Song Jinglin was back again.

She thought that he was really a considerate person. He called her here, but he was still worried about his wife.

Second sister Lu's chattering mouth was quiet now.

She kept twisting the child in her hand.

At this time, she took advantage of her mother's inattention and broke away.

After looking back and seeing that Lu Erjie didn't chase after her, she looked around the living room without worry. It seemed that she thought it was boring, so she turned around and went into the bedroom.

Liu Qingqing frowned. This child looked about the same age as Xiaoxue, but her temperament was completely different.

Although she didn't shout or scream, she seemed to have thorns all over her body. She was not honest from the moment she entered the door, and now she seemed to be unruly, running around in other people's homes.

Before she got up to check, Song Jinglin had already walked out of the bedroom with the child.

"Sister-in-law, there are a lot of scissors and other things in our room. You'd better watch the child and don't hurt him."

Second sister Lu said unhappily: "My child is not stupid. She knows what she can and cannot touch."

Guo Fengjuan interrupted her: "Sister-in-law Lu, you should be careful. Have you forgotten that your Zhaodi broke Gao Jie's snow cream last time and had to pay for it?"

Second sister Lu's face was not very good. She pulled Zhaodi over and hit her on the back. "Bang bang" twice, the sound was muffled, and everyone present felt the pain.

"Beat you to death, you have no sense. You can't control your claws."

But the beaten child did not react at all. His eyebrows were not wrinkled. He wanted to break away without caring. It seemed that he was used to this kind of beating.

After beating the child, Lu Erjie turned around and planned to continue chatting with the two.

Xiaoxue from Guo Fengmei's family was frightened by this operation and cried "wow".

Guo Fengmei quickly picked her up and coaxed her.

Lu Erjie pouted: "Sister-in-law, your child is really spoiled. Look at my Zhaodi, she didn't cry when she was beaten, why are you crying when you are just watching the show?"

Liu Qingqing looked at people and really couldn't understand the situation. She also said that her own child was tactless, which was tactless enough.

Since she couldn't read people's expressions, she took the initiative: "Sister-in-law Lu, if you have nothing to do, go back first. It's getting late. My belly is big and I can't talk to you for a long time."

Lu Erjie's butt still didn't move: "If there is something, my family is tight recently. Can you lend me ten yuan?"

Chapter 143 Greedy Ghost

To be honest, she had never seen anyone borrow money like this.

Xiaoxue was a very easy-to-please child. She stopped sobbing in Guo Fengjuan's arms after a while.

Guo Fengjuan raised her eyebrows. She thought that since she was here, this person would not mention it.

It seems that Second Sister Lu is more shameless than everyone knows.

Liu Qingqing suddenly realized that this seemed to be the purpose of her inexplicable visit.

Liu Qingqing shook her head: "Sister Lu, you have found the wrong person..."

Second Sister Lu interrupted her refusal: "Ten yuan is not okay, five yuan is fine, lend it to me for emergency."

Second Sister Lu glanced at Guo Fengjuan. If she didn't ask for it now, she would not be able to lend it next time.

Guo Fengjuan will definitely talk about her behind her back.

Not wanting to dwell on this matter any more, Liu Qingqing said, "Sister-in-law Lu, your family is in such a tight spot, right? The army's allowance is enough for our family, is there any difficulty? We can't hold it in when we encounter difficulties, we should ask the organization if there is any problem. Jinglin, go to the Third Regiment tomorrow to ask if you can help his family get their salary in advance. I think the organization will give some convenience when they see that their comrades are having a hard time."

Song Jinglin responded in cooperation, standing beside him with a serious face to protect his wife.

Second Sister Lu didn't expect that the young couple could refuse directly. Generally, these newcomers are thin-skinned, and they will not refuse so straightforwardly even if they are unwilling in their hearts.

This time, I ran into a tough guy who not only refused to lend money but also wanted to find a leader.

Second Sister Lu snorted, pulled the child out and walked out.

Zhaodi stumbled when she was pulled, and Second Sister Lu walked straight out without even looking back, letting the child's feet drag on the ground.

Zhaodi, the child, did not cry out, and her two legs struggled to find the ground, and then stumbled to follow her mother's footsteps.

Liu Qingqing and her husband were stunned by this sudden incident, but Guo Fengjuan was not surprised.

"She is just like that." Guo Fengjuan saw Xiaoxue blinking her eyes to see the excitement, and she had stopped sobbing.

She put the child on the ground and sat back next to Liu Qingqing.

Liu Qingqing handed a handful of peanuts to Xiaoxue, and the little girl smiled sweetly, holding the peanuts aside and slowly knocking them.

This child is also a quiet person, but very honest. She will squat and play obediently wherever she is asked to play.

Liu Qingqing thought that it might be because she went to the nursery too early, and her personality was fixed.

Guo Fengjuan was about to stop her, but Liu Qingqing pulled her back and she smiled and sat back.

"I haven't seen her for a while, and I have forgotten about her. Lu Erjie likes to borrow money from new people. She is shy and will borrow more times. The amount of money she asks for is not much, basically one or two yuan. No one can make trouble because of this money. At most, they will just ignore her." Guo Fengjuan pouted when she mentioned Lu Erjie.

She specifically caught those who had just got married and had just joined the army to borrow money, and bought and sold it all at once. The other party had just arrived at the compound and was still shy. If ten yuan was not enough, she would give five yuan, and if five yuan was not enough, she would give one yuan, and she would definitely be able to borrow it.

Liu Qingqing was amazed at the many talents in the military compound. She hadn't even met a few people yet, but she met two of them.

"Sister Guo, tell me more, so I can be prepared."

Guo Fengjuan waved her hand: "Don't worry, she just borrowed money at most to take advantage of others. If others don't agree, she won't go a second time."

As they chatted, she also became interested and began to gossip about the things that these people spread privately about Lu Erjie's family.

"She has three daughters. The other two are in school. Originally, she didn't want to send them to school. But the children were already eight or nine years old. Her husband was asked to do ideological work, so she sent the two older ones to school. As for the younger one, she took care of her at home every day. She was reluctant to spend that one dollar and fifty cents. She worked in a textile factory with the child for a few days before. She did a bad job and Zhaodi was always making trouble, so she was fired."

"Zhaodi is a naughty child , the other two older ones in her family were beaten just like the dumb ones, but the younger one didn't learn his lesson even after being beaten a hundred times. Second sister Lu was reluctant to spend money on her daughter, and she cheated and deceived people everywhere. I heard that the family lived in a tight situation because she sent money to her brother-in-law's family. Her husband saw that she had not given birth to a son, so he relied on his nephew to support him in his old age. "

Although she knew that people at that time valued their sons, Liu Qingqing still didn't understand why she was supporting her nephew's family? Her family had to tighten their belts just for that unreliable hope?

Come on.

Chapter 144 Advantages

Guo Fengjuan also felt that it was inappropriate. She had never heard of any nephew who would be supported by his grandfather and aunt in his old age.

It is not easy to support your own parents, and you can also take care of your grandfather next door?

Speaking of the thoughts of Lu Erjie and her husband, normal people can't figure it out. They don't educate their own children well, but they don't care about them every day. They beat them up when they make trouble, and then they go to worry about other people's children.

"A few months ago, the wife of the second regiment's battalion commander Han also moved in. She used to be a nurse in the city hospital. In order to be together, she applied to be transferred to our army hospital. Lu Erjie took the child with her. When she didn't keep an eye on him, Zhaodi broke Gao Jie's bottle of vanishing cream. You don't know that bottle costs more than 20 yuan. Gao Jie's face darkened at that time, and he pulled her to force her to pay. In the end, the incident was reported to the leader. Later, Lu Erjie rolled over and said that they were all used. The leader agreed to pay her ten yuan. He was afraid that she was unwilling to pay, so he deducted it directly from her salary. "

Liu Qingqing thought why Lu Erjie was holding the child so tightly at the beginning, it turned out that she had suffered losses.

Guo Fengjuan was shocked when she mentioned the vanishing cream. The girls in the city dared to spend money. What kind of facial cream costs more than twenty yuan.

She is really willing to spend money. This is enough to eat meat for more than a month.

Liu Qingqing smiled and said nothing, so Song Jinglin took it out for the child, otherwise his bottles and jars would be gone. Lu Erjie has to pay for it.

After seeing Guo Fengjuan off, Liu Qingqing praised Song Jinglin for a while. This spirit deserves praise and should be continued.

The packages she sent were finally received almost two weeks after she moved in.

After Song Jinglin carried the sacks home, he attracted the attention of several neighbors.

When they learned that they were old items, they lost their curiosity.

Once these things arrived, there was really nothing missing at home.

——————————

After mid-September, the weather became cooler and cooler, and Liu Qingqing's appetite improved a lot.

Song Jinglin was a little worried because she was only growing belly but not flesh.

From time to time, he would bring back some meat and vegetables from the canteen.

In fact, Liu Qingqing paid attention to nutritional balance every day, but she just didn't overeat.

The dishes in the cafeteria were heavy in oil and salt to replenish the energy of the soldiers. Liu Qingqing would only eat a few bites and then stop.

It was only more than a month before the due date, so she just needed to eat normally, and eating 70% to 80% full was enough. Overeating was not good for the child, and of course it was even worse for herself.

It had been a month since the last checkup in Wuning.

She changed into loose clothes early in the morning and went to the military hospital.

This time she went for a pregnancy checkup, first to check the condition of this lazy child, and also to see the birth environment here.

I heard that if the child is unwilling to move in the belly, it is easy to have umbilical cord around the neck.

The military hospital not only didn't have a B-ultrasound, but also didn't have an old Chinese medicine doctor.

The doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department was a middle-aged woman. She asked Liu Qingqing to lie on the small bed in the examination room and pressed the middle handle of the stethoscope here and there on her belly.

The handle of the stethoscope was cold and hard. She pressed it for a while and was a little scared. Would it hurt the baby?

Liu Qingqing had never seen this scene, and she didn't know how pregnancy tests were done in the future.

She was nervous in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

The conditions were limited, and she would have to be under the doctor's control in the future.

She didn't speak until the doctor finished listening to the fetal heartbeat and put away the stethoscope.

Thinking that she would have to rely on others in the future, she smiled and greeted: "Doctor, what's your name? My name is Liu Qingqing, and I just came here to follow the army."

"My name is Chen Ruyan, your child is well taken care of, and the fetal position is also correct, there is no problem."

Liu Qingqing tidied her clothes and smiled: "Sister Chen is a good doctor. People say that giving birth is dangerous. I feel much more at ease with you."

Chen Ruyan was happy with what she said, handed her the medical records and said: " Are you planning to give birth at home or in the hospital? "

"Of course, I'll tell you, Sister Chen. I'll be more nervous the closer I get to giving birth. I'm always worried. Once I see you, I feel more at ease."

Chen Ruyan laughed and joked, "Okay, if you're nervous, come and see me."

Liu Qingqing nodded, "I'll have to trouble you in the future."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Chen Ruyan, they set the date for the next prenatal checkup.

Liu Qingqing said hello and walked out of the hospital.

It's necessary to build a good relationship with Chen Ruyan. It's best to find a doctor who is familiar with your physical condition when giving birth.

She knows about your previous prenatal checkups, so it'll be easier for her to diagnose if anything goes wrong when giving birth.

Doctors see so many people every day, and they may not remember you even if you visit them every month.

Then you have to make a deeper impression on them.

Chapter 145 Wu Ning's Letter

I thought it was just confinement, nothing special.

After reading the letter dictated by Old Lady Liu and written by Liu Dongfang, I realized that I had thought too simply.

Liu Dongfang only finished primary school and had a general level of education, so there were many typos in this letter, and some places even mixed pinyin.

In the letter, he first cared about her physical condition, and then asked if everything for the child was ready.

Seeing that the two words in the urine catcher were crossed out and changed to cloth, Liu Qingqing could roughly think of the words dictated by the old lady, which stumped her brother.

After looking at them one by one, she did prepare small clothes and swaddles, but no diapers, but there were diapers.

After thinking about it, she decided to cut out some of them. Other people use diapers at night and cloth diapers during the day, but she had to change them.

The child uses diapers during the day and changes diapers when his father comes back.

She was a little confused when she saw that she had to prepare some menstrual belts for herself.

This paragraph was written rather vaguely, and the words were a little crooked. Liu Qingqing thought it was probably because her eldest brother was embarrassed to write it.

She didn't know much about the situation after giving birth, so she would ask Chen Ruyan in a few days.

She looked at the few sanitary napkins left in her space.

Well, I have to go and get some later.

I have been saving them these few months and forgot about this.

The more I read the rest, the more melancholy I felt. It was all about what to eat and drink during the confinement period and how to take care of the child.

I didn't expect there would be so many troubles...

Liu Qingqing closed the letter and breathed a sigh of relief.

She had thought about confinement before, but she had never experienced the reality of being beaten.

She originally thought that apart from three meals a day and washing dishes, there didn't seem to be anything else to do.

Song Jinglin could easily handle this work when he came back at night.

She just held the child.

Although she couldn't let Song Jinglin take leave to take care of her all day, she could go home at noon and at night, so she naturally thought that this would be enough.

After listening to the old lady's detailed explanation, she felt that the old lady was a wise person.

She smiled and read the last sentence several times: "Don't worry about what is said above. Mother will help you. Just take care of your body. After the confinement, mother will definitely teach Xiao Song. Mother is more reliable than old Song's wife. She is not better than me."

She chuckled. She didn't plan to ask Song's mother to come. The two of them had stopped communicating in Wuning. Would she be called to stay for confinement or to cause trouble?

If her mother was willing to leave her home and career to come, that would be the best.

She immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote a reply.

Thinking that the old lady was worried about coming alone, she asked Liu Dongfang to find Xu Fangqing to get the train ticket.

It would be safer to come in a sleeper.

Then she called the troops when she got on the train and asked Song Jinglin to pick up the phone.

She wrote another letter to Fu Meili and put the money inside the letter.

——————

There was nothing to clean up at home, so Liu Qingqing would go out for a walk after dinner with Song Jinglin in the morning.

Getting familiar with the terrain is also a form of exercise.

The due date is getting closer and closer, and it would be a lie to say that she is not nervous.

A while ago, she brought a small bag of dried mushrooms to Chen Ruyan for a physical examination.

She also asked about the post-delivery situation.

Only then did she know about the evil exposure.

It's hard to say...

She had never seen such a topic, and her relatives and sisters had never told her about it.

Chen Ruyan took over Liu Qingqing's "hometown specialties" and gave her a lot of instructions.

Including sitting posture during this period, and proper movement, exercise to make childbirth less painful.

She has also heard that if you don't move much in the first few months of childbirth, it may be difficult to give birth.

Liu Qingqing walked slowly along the bungalow in the family yard, and unexpectedly there was another world behind the newly built small building. There were two rows of gray four-story small buildings behind.

The environment was worse than the new building in front.

At this time, there was really no place to live. It was crowded, messy, and there was no privacy.

When the weather was hot a while ago, the doors of the new building were basically not closed, and at most half a curtain was hung to cover it.

Not to mention these old buildings.

It's not as comfortable as their small yard.

However, buildings were a new thing after all, and in the next ten or twenty years, most people were striving for buildings. However, thirty or forty years later, everyone began to yearn for small courtyards with their own entrances and exits.

Chapter 146 Wherever it hurts, it hurts

Old Lady Liu had never been far away from home. She received a reply from her daughter a few days ago. She didn't feel anything when she was packing her things. She was just excited.

She went with her daughter to see the new scenery outside. When she came back, she would be an old lady who had seen the world.

It would be comfortable to show off, which is more impressive than riding in a big car or living in the city.

Even though she had packed everything, she was a little timid when she was about to leave.

She had never left this one-third acre of land in her life, so she was a little timid.

She felt uneasy, so she came to work with them. It was the autumn harvest time.

She came to work a little, which also relieved her mood.

"Auntie Liu, I heard you're going to the old lady's place?"

"Where are you going? Can I see Chairman Mao?"

"Oh, that's great, I can go to a big city."

"Why don't you let the mother-in-law take care of the confinement? Look at your eldest daughter-in-law, she's got a big belly, but she's still busy taking care of her grandson."

Old lady Liu didn't do much in the autumn harvest. She's at an age where she should enjoy her life, but she doesn't want to earn those few work points. She only does some work like drying winnowing baskets and peeling corn.

Even for these little jobs, she's still working hard.

The old lady next to her is different from her. She talks, but her hands don't slow down.

They can't just take three or four work points.

It would be a lie to say that I am not jealous, but who can help others have a good son and a good daughter?

Old Mrs. Liu glanced at the troublemaker and said, "Haha, your old man wet the bed again, right? Oh, it's getting cold now, and the quilt can't be dried. What can I do? I feel so worried about you. You are so careless."

Zhang Daqin was stabbed in the back, but she was not willing to give in: "Why do you care about my family? Think about yourself first. You don't even have a grandchild. Your sons will be extinct in the future. "It's not a big deal to have a grandson. Seeing that the old lady is pregnant, you are still not in a hurry."

Old Lady Liu raised her eyelids slightly, with a smile on her lips: "It's not terrible to have no grandson. If he is imprisoned, maybe my parents will be implicated too. It's better to have no grandson. Don't you think so, auntie?"

Zhang Daqin glared at her hatefully. Old Lady Liu was always hurting her. She couldn't stand being criticized.

Her eldest grandson just said a few nonsense words in the town a while ago, and was arrested and detained in the police station for a day. Because he was young, he was not criticized, but the adults in the family were also scolded.

Let the family take good care of the child. Don't let him go back so easily next time.

Her grandson is also a troublesome person, always causing trouble from time to time.

He is already over ten years old, but he has not improved. It is really annoying.

Zhang Daqin's lips twitched, and after thinking about it, she still did not take action.

Her body is getting worse and worse, and she has been tortured by that damn old man.

The damn Liu Pozi is getting more and more vigorous. She didn't get any advantage in several games last year.

It seems that life is different without the old man's entanglement. Her old face has more wrinkles than Liu Pozi. The places where she was laughed at in the past are now fulfilled by her.

Zhang Daqin turned her head and ignored the other party.

Old Mrs. Liu smiled with her teeth showing, showing her pride.

The few people who wanted to say something to provoke her also stopped, and usually they could only open their mouths to fight her.

They opened their mouths and fell silent, so they should not send it up.

"She, Aunt Liu, when she returns to our Taoshan Village, she must tell us what the outside world is like."

"Of course, if I can't take you to see it, I have to let you listen to it."

Gradually, no one was interested in opening their mouths again.

Old Mrs. Liu hummed happily: "Mountains are connected to mountains, waters are connected, fruit trees are in full bloom, red and bright..."

Look, isn't this mood relieved and comfortable?

People around...

And singing "Socialism Shines"?

You are so proud!

—————————

Ping Xianghong baked pancakes, boiled eggs, and fried a box of shredded pork and salted vegetables for Old Lady Liu.

Her husband went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the smell of meat could often be seen at home.

She had a good pregnancy, eating and sleeping better than when she was pregnant with Lili.

She prepared all the food for her mother-in-law to take with her on the road, and her husband and sister-in-law could see it.

Old Lady Liu was satisfied that her eldest daughter-in-law was much more promising now.

She went back to the house and took out the more than 300 yuan she had sewn next to her body, hid it in the soles of a pair of unstitched shoes, and then took up the awl to sew them again.

Then she stuffed the pair of half-new shoes into a pile of shoe cabinets.

It is better not to bring this money. You can't spend it at the old lady's house. I heard that the thieves outside are very capable. Even if you hide it in your pants, you may be taken away by someone.

It is safer not to bring it.

Early in the morning, Liu Dongfang hung the luggage bags on the handlebars and beams.

Old Lady Liu

It is not easy for the old lady to carry too much alone. These two bags are all from home.

Liu Dongfang sent my mother to the car and stuffed the luggage into the rack before getting off the car in a hurry.

If you don't leave, you will be taken away.

Old Lady Liu nervously stuck her head out and shouted: "Boss, boss, is there anyone to pick you up at the destination?"

"Don't worry, mother, there is someone to pick you up. Didn't my sister say it..."

Before she finished speaking, the train drove away with a flute.

Liu Dongfang wiped his sweat and was glad that he was quick. He just jumped down from the window. If he tried to squeeze through the door again, he might not be able to get down. That would be terrible.

Chapter 147 Old Lady Liu

Cleaning up the house for the old lady is easy. She has the white mouse, so she doesn't need to bend down.

But Song Jinglin doesn't know that he cleans up the house by himself when he comes back at noon and night.

Liu Qingqing lets him do it, and she will take the technology mouse to maintain it in a few days.

She drew the lucky charm again, and it is still valid for one day. It will take effect as soon as she gets it.

The validity period is acceptable, but it is too annoying to take effect as soon as you get it.

You can't open it when you need it.

She plans to draw again when she gives birth, and she must get this lucky charm.

With good luck, she can feel at ease when giving birth.

No matter how much money you have, it is not as important as your life.

After hanging up the lucky charm, Liu Qingqing drew more than twenty times with the doubled luck.

Only then did she prepare all the things needed before and after giving birth.

In fact, you can also go to the service center to buy baby bottles and baby powder.

However, many of the strange baby bottles that caught my eye were made of plastic.

At that time, it was considered a rare thing, but Liu Qingqing thought it was not very good, so she gave up buying it offline.

Still prepared to try it.

What I got was a basic glass baby bottle, which was very effective in preventing flatulence.

In addition to baby bottles, there were also many diapers of other models.

Then there was the maternity pad...

Every day, Liu Qingqing took out some items that looked similar to what they were now.

Song Jinglin just thought they were bought outside, and didn't ask much.

He handed over his monthly salary, and he didn't care what his wife bought or how much she spent.

Song Jinglin received a call from Liu Dongfang and did not ask his wife to go with him to meet him at the station. The temperature difference between morning and evening was already very large. He had to wear light clothes during the day and a cotton jacket at night.

It was another train arriving at the station in the early morning, so he should go alone.

Waiting for Song Jinglin to pick up the people and bring them into the house.

The wake-up call had already sounded once.

Liu Qingqing fried a pot and boiled a pot of water.

As long as the two of them entered the house, she could cook noodles and hot soup to warm her body.

Old Mrs. Liu was a little nervous except for the first moment when the train started.

When she saw that everyone on the train was a fool, she relaxed.

She ate well and slept well along the way, and could chat with people.

She didn't feel bored.

"Old lady, I've been missing you for the past few months. How are you? Are you feeling bad?"

Hearing this familiar rap, Liu Qingqing felt particularly at ease.

"No, you must be tired, come and have a meal, and then take a nap."

Song Jinglin carried the luggage to the west room: "Mom, I'll go to the car first."

Old Lady Liu watched them go out, and suddenly felt more at ease.

"Old lady, you don't know how scared I was on the way. The train was whirring, and there were mountains and water on both sides. I was afraid that the train would crash..."

She glanced at the noodles in Liu Qingqing's hand, her eyes sparkling.

Noodles are good things. Old lady didn't like to eat them before, and the county didn't prepare them.

She heard the old lady Zhao next door talking about eating noodles, and she was so greedy.

"Come here, come here. I'll show you how to cook noodles."

Liu Qingqing followed her advice and handed the stove to her.

Old Lady Liu glanced at the chopped green onions, minced meat, and tomatoes floating in the hot soup.

She wanted to tsk a few times. What kind of treatment is this instant noodle? It has to be served with meat.

But she held it back. This is for herself. She should not owe that mouth.

Old Lady Liu brought two bags. One bag contained her own clothes. Winter was coming soon. The old lady said that it was as cold here as at home. She also brought her cotton padded jacket and trousers.

The other bag contained all the things for the lady. There were dried goods - dried potatoes, dried eggplants, shredded beans, and dried fungus and dried mushrooms from the mountains.

There are also white cotton and cotton, but the quantity is not much, which may not be enough to make a small quilt.

But her heart is here.

Before Song Jinglin left, she hurriedly packed the big bag and handed it to Liu Qingqing one by one: "I knew that you would not be able to grow vegetables when you came, so you have to buy them. These vegetables will give us food in winter. Where can you put them? Point to a place and I will go and pick them up. This white cotton cloth absorbs water. You can make clothes for the children or diapers. In fact, diapers can be made from old clothes of adults, but you are used to it and will definitely not want to. I don't care how you use it. And these cottons, I don't have many cotton coupons, your eldest brother gave me this much, it's enough to make a quilt, but it's enough to make a few small cotton quilts."

Song Jinglin was moved by what he saw. His mother-in-law was very worried about their children.

Old Lady Liu glanced at her with satisfaction.

An old lady should be as clear-headed as her. It would be foolish if she didn't show the things she brought to the child in person.

With the arrival of Old Lady Liu, Liu Qingqing felt that her life was no longer lonely.

Every day, the two of them either prepared blankets and clothes for the child or prepared urine mustard.

Chapter 148 Waiting for Delivery

In early November, Xiping City also began to snow.

Liu Qingqing was used to it. As soon as she felt the pain, she asked Old Lady Liu to carry the delivery bag that they had packed long ago to the military hospital.

Because it was close, even if they walked slowly, they arrived in ten minutes.

As soon as Chen Ruyan saw Liu Qingqing enter the clinic, she immediately stood up and supported her.

"Do you feel it?"

Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "No, it just started to hurt. It will take more than ten minutes for each pain. I haven't felt any pain along the way..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt pain again.

Liu Qingqing held her breath and endured it. It was over in a few seconds.

Chen Ruyan waited until the pain subsided before she spoke: "It's still early, maybe tomorrow, do you want to move in first?"

Seeing Liu Qingqing nod, Chen Ruyan took her to the ward.

The wards in the obstetrics and gynecology department are limited, and they are basically not used.

Many military families who give birth also come to the hospital to ask someone to go home and give birth at home.

Or if they are worried about their own conditions, they come to the hospital to give birth, and they also calculate the time of contractions and come every three to five minutes.

You can go home after a while after giving birth.

But Liu Qingqing is different. She stuffed a box of vanishing cream for Chen Ruyan a few days ago and booked her to be hospitalized in advance.

She doesn't care how others give birth at this time. She knows that her cousin gave birth and was hospitalized in advance. She lay in bed until midnight before giving birth, and stayed in the hospital for three days after giving birth.

To be on the safe side, she settled with Chen Ruyan in advance and raised her own salary.

Chen Ruyan took the patient to the ward. There were eight beds in the room, all of which were empty. The conditions were limited, but it met Liu Qingqing's standard for a single room.

This was the ward of the obstetrics and gynecology department, which could accommodate eight people.

Other departments could accommodate more than 20 people in a ward.

Lying on the bed, Chen Ruyan pressed her hands and looked at the opening of the cervix.

Liu Qingqing sighed in her heart. This woman had no dignity and respect before she even got on the delivery bed.

Fortunately, the doctor was a familiar doctor, and there were no strangers in the room.

After Chen Ruyan settled the patient down, she said, "We'll see you later in the evening. You should rest first and eat something when the pain is gone. Auntie, come to me if you have any problem."

Old Lady Liu responded, "Doctor Chen is not only a good doctor, but also a kind person. My daughter is very grateful to you for your care..."

Chen Ruyan's mouth curled up. Both mother and daughter knew how to talk.

After leaving the ward, she pinched the small red paper bag in her pocket, and her smile widened. She took care of the patient more attentively throughout the afternoon.

After the footsteps of others faded away, Mrs. Liu whispered, "Do I need to pay for this?"

"I'll take care of you more when you give birth."

I've heard colleagues discuss this before. The midwife is the key to childbirth. Some colleagues described that the pain was like a rolling sow, and they only heard scolding and scolding. There was no encouragement, no dignity, no decency.

Some had their vaginas torn during childbirth, and the stitches were messy, and the meat didn't even match up. They were still in pain many years later.

...

All kinds of things, the female colleagues at that time could only talk about them privately with friends in the same situation, and most of them couldn't even tell their families.

Liu Qingqing didn't say much to her mother. She was ready to encourage herself.

"Mom, I can't give birth for a while. You go back and prepare lunch."

Old lady Liu looked at her for a while and saw that she was in good condition. She wanted to say that she was making trouble and came so early.

Then she thought, the benefits were all given, and coming early would let Dr. Chen watch over her. She had to make a profit anyway, and she couldn't waste money.

"Okay, I'll go back and cook. Jinglin should be home soon. I'll ask him to kill a little hen and stew it for later."

The little hen was bought by Liu Qingqing at her family's yard a while ago. Many families here raise chickens, and chickens stop laying eggs in winter. When she heard that Liu Qingqing wanted to buy one, Guo Fengjuan helped her contact several chickens.

Of course, there was one from her family.

Guo Fengjuan was a little embarrassed to sell it directly to Liu Qingqing, but when she heard that she was asked to help, she let it go.

She had collected so many chickens that she kept three of them. Unexpectedly, the chickens started laying eggs as soon as they arrived at her house in the cold weather. Old Mrs. Liu was very happy. These little hens could not be killed. It was good to keep them to lay eggs.

——Actually, it was the six-month-old chicks that were moved to a new space.

The rest were killed and frozen, so they didn't need to be kept alive.

Chapter 149 Bad Luck

After she was left alone in the ward, Liu Qingqing started the immersive lottery.

She had to get the lucky charm out.

Or maybe she was really unlucky today. For more than ten times in a row, a lot of brown sugar, white sugar, cotton, cloth, milk powder, etc. came.

But there were no rare things that were usually seen.

Not even a little pill.

This is not a very common thing.

This made her more determined to draw the lucky charm.

After paying 300 yuan, she still didn't see the lucky charm.

But a small porcelain bottle of "Blood-Replenishing and Qi-Invigorating Pills" came.

With today's luck and fortune, she was scared when she thought about it.

She had to give herself a buff.

She continued to top up and spent another 500 yuan.

Her hands were shaking from the money.

This is the rhythm of God's will to kill me...

Speaking of why she cherishes her life so much, it's because she almost had her equipment exploded at the beginning, which left a deep impression on her.

She also saw people wearing cheats afterwards.

This place is not the real 1970s, so don't imagine that there are only those two time travelers.

She always felt that her life was not safe.

She comforted herself in her heart: "Money is something outside of the body, but life is only one. If this one is gone, there may not be another one. You have to be willing to give up, and only by giving up can you get..."

She continued to smoke.

After another 500 yuan was put in, in addition to daily necessities, she also got a bottle of "Strengthening Muscle and Bone Pills".

￣□￣｜｜

She topped up another hundred silently.

Slowly, slowly.

Five hundred, five hundred, it will be gone in a while.

When the hundred was over, there was a noise at the door.

She gathered her mind and looked over. It was Song Jinglin.

"Have you eaten?"

Song Jinglin shook his head, took a few steps to her side and squatted down, stretched out his hand and touched her forehead: "How is it, does it hurt?"

Liu Qingqing's head was still shaking on the road, and she grimaced.

She was so serious about the lottery just now that she didn't even remember the pain.

Or, if you immerse your consciousness in the space, it won't hurt?

This idea is worth implementing.

Song Jinglin was frightened by her and held her hand in a panic: "I'll go find a doctor..."

Old Mrs. Liu was blocking the door with food: "What's wrong?"

Song Jinglin spoke quickly and ran around the old lady: "Qingqing is in great pain."

While the two were talking, Liu Qingqing's pain had passed: "It's okay, you don't need to go now."

Song Jinglin looked back and saw that his wife had recovered.

He walked leisurely: "Is it really not painful?"

"Wait a while before it hurts." She had suffered all the pain she deserved, and she had to let people know.

Otherwise, I would have thought that this child would jump out as soon as she stretched her neck like laying an egg.

Song Jinglin walked around the room: "It's unbearable to keep in such pain. Is there any way?"

"There is no way. It will keep hurting like this. It won't be so painful after giving birth, but there are ways to feel pain after giving birth."

Song Jinglin frowned: "I'd better ask the doctor!"

Liu Qingqing followed her.

Old Lady Liu was satisfied with her daughter's behavior: "She is worthy of being my daughter. She is so smart and powerful. She just follows me."

Old men can't take the blame for him, nor can they let him throw his hands away.

She took the lunch box handed over by Old Lady Liu, and ate and drank while she had nothing to do.

Before she had eaten two bites, a small stone came out of her mouth with a "crunch".

Her teeth were numb from the pain.

"Oh, I've picked it out several times, there shouldn't be any." Old Lady Liu patted her thigh, took the lunch box and rummaged around for a while: "There aren't any stones."

Liu Qingqing knew that she was unlucky today and wanted to say something.

Another pain came, and Liu Qingqing raised her wrist and scanned it.

It seemed to be seven or eight minutes since the last pain.

Chen Ruyan followed Song Jinglin in with a smile on her face.

Because she accepted Liu Qingqing's favor today, she didn't go out for lunch, but asked someone to help her get food from the cafeteria and bring it back.

She didn't show any emotion when she was pulled in halfway through her meal.

Take money from others and help them eliminate disasters. Besides, this is not a one-time thing. Xiao Liu is generous. If you wait for a year or two, you may get more.

"Sister, what's going on? Every few minutes."

"Sister Chen, it's been about seven minutes, right? Will it take a while?"

Chen Ruyan came over: "Let me see."

Liu Qingqing looked up at Song Jinglin who was standing aside: "You should go to eat first, you have to go to work later."

Let those who should know know, and don't look at it. No wonder it's so strong.

Song Jinglin was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something, but was pushed out of the door by Mrs. Liu: "Be obedient, go to eat."

The old lady did the right thing.

Although Song Jinglin didn't know why he was being criticized, he got a rough idea of what was going on after looking at the doctor's movements. He decided to take an afternoon off.

"Mom, then you stay with Qingqing. I'll take a leave and come back later."

Chapter 150 Childbirth

"It's six fingers dilated. Let's go to the delivery room first." Chen Ruyan covered her with the quilt again after checking.

Normally, the first child needs to be dilated a little more before it can be born. It's a bit early to go to the delivery room now.

But she has to observe it and wait for another half an hour. If it doesn't work, she will have to adjust it manually.

Liu Qingqing nodded: "Okay, listen to Sister Chen."

Chen Ruyan helped her up.

It's the delivery room, and it's only two or three steps away from the door.

Old Mrs. Liu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Chen Ruyan.

At this time, the military hospital has begun to pay attention to the problem of carrying bacteria on the body, so family members cannot follow into the delivery room.

Unlike the operating room, there are five or six beds in the delivery room.

They are all the kind that can hold their legs up...

When Liu Qingqing saw this, her heart started beating even faster.

She lay down on the delivery bed and made preparations before delivery, disinfected and cleaned.

Then she just waited.

Chen Ruyan hadn't finished her meal yet, so she said hello: "Sister, lie down first. It will probably take another hour. I'll be back in two or three minutes."

Liu Qingqing responded and entered the space with her consciousness.

Song Jinglin hurried back and found out that his wife had already entered the delivery room.

She was anxiously walking around the door.

Old Mrs. Liu held back the words "Don't shake like a donkey pulling a millstone." that she almost uttered.

So nervous, she almost thought he was her son.

"Jinglin, you stay here and watch. I'll go get the chicken soup. It's time to boil the brown sugar and kuncao water."

Song Jinglin didn't hear what she said clearly, and nodded randomly.

...

The speed of the lottery also increased.

As she guessed, her consciousness entered the space, and she really didn't feel any pain, but this was not good.

I didn't know the pain until I gave birth. .

My mind was full of random thoughts, and my hands didn't stop, repeatedly charging money and drawing prizes.

After several rounds, the lucky charm finally appeared.

Liu Qingqing felt that the background should be a sky full of flowers...

Clicking on the introduction of the happiness charm, this time it is no longer a "lucky double charm", but a lucky value plus 10.

She didn't know what the peak luck value was, and how much this 10 added.

But she felt relieved all of a sudden.

If it was really a doubling charm, she would have to hesitate.

Today's luck doesn't look like a positive number.

If you doubling it, it might get more and more negative.

The other instructions are the same as the doubling charm. The countdown starts as soon as you get it, but it needs to be worn to take effect.

Hearing the movement at the door of the delivery room, Liu Qingqing quickly opened her eyes.

"Who told you to lie like this? Put your legs up." A young girl walked in and scolded.

Liu Qingqing ignored her and quickly took out the lucky charm and hung it around her neck.

The red cloth bag with a red rope around her neck was a place that had been prepared for it a long time ago.

She had thought of putting it in her pocket before, but she always felt that the things in her pocket might fall out, which would be a disaster.

The girl had a lot of tools in her hands. Seeing that she didn't respond, she frowned and walked to her side.

Just as she was about to say something, she stumbled and almost fell.

She stabilized her body in time and grabbed the cabinet next to her.

Liu Qingqing's eyelids twitched. She saw a plate of scissors, needles and threads, and bottles and jars. These objects fell on her, and she had to be smashed.

The girl was also confused and quickly put the things on the cabinet on the other side.

But she was scared to death.

Chen Ruyan also walked in at this time: "Sister, do you feel your stomach going down?"

Liu Qingqing nodded.

The nurse next to her was still a little scared, and didn't dare to say a word.

She knew that this person had some relationship with Director Chen, but she didn't know what happened just now, and she suddenly got angry...

Chen Ruyan washed her hands, walked to the bed and touched it: "It's pretty good. The fetal position was a little bit wrong just now. I was thinking about turning it over, but the child came over by itself."

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips, holding the lucky charm, and her heart was a little more at ease.

She said that a woman's sixth sense can't be wrong.

"Xiaoyu, go find Auntie to bring in clothes and blankets."

"Hey, I'll go now." The nurse hurried out.

Chen Ruyan sat down and began to instruct her to exert force.

Normally, she didn't do this job, but today she took it over on purpose. The doctors and nurses in the obstetrics and gynecology department all knew what was going on.

After hanging up the lucky charm, everything went exceptionally smoothly. Chen Ruyan had never seen a baby born so quickly before.

From preparing for the delivery to the birth of the baby, it took less than 20 minutes.

"Sister, it's a boy." No one needed to pat the baby. The little guy cried loudly with his hands open as soon as he came out.
