Pamper Eighties

“Have you given birth yet? Oh, why did you have to give birth to a child when it was raining? God bless you, you must have a daughter! Meimei, Jiaojiao, just like her aunt and grandmother. The Feng family hasn’t given birth to a daughter in a hundred years, I think crazy…”

A thin old man in a blue tunic suit was chanting words in front of the corner, and he looked like he was muttering. Suddenly, a hidden weapon was thrown beside him, and a small black stone hit him on the shoulder.

“Enough, you old man. I’ll let you go out and pick up an egg. What are you talking about here? Where’s the egg? Bring it to me.” The old lady walked over with a vigorous posture. She obviously lost the hidden weapon just now.

The old man Feng touched his pocket, “Here, it’s still hot. It’s going to be steamed for the eldest daughter-in-law to eat. Feng’er, is it about to give birth? As long as I can give birth to a daughter, I will go to the Mazu Temple to repay.”

Miao Yufeng raised her eyes and said with her hands on her hips: “Feng Shengli! What are you shouting about? For fear that others won’t know that you engage in feudal superstition? You are also a village chief. If you dare to drag the boss’s back, I won’t tear it apart. you!”

“Okay, now that the reform and opening up are all over, worshiping gods doesn’t break the law, so I’ll just look forward to it, can’t I?” Old Man Feng rolled his eyes to the sky with his hands behind his back.

“What does the reform and opening-up have to do with you?” Miao Yufeng pushed Old Man Feng from behind and walked quickly, “I’m going to cook eggs in the kitchen, it’s so cold and it’s raining, hurry up and chop wood, the life of the old man Use it when the child is finished.”

In Taoyuan Village in March, there is still a bit of a cold spring. Just after noon, the sky suddenly turned cloudy, and then it started to rain. This rain is getting heavier and heavier, and being blown by the sea breeze, it can be cold to the bones of a person.

Carrying a bowl of fragrant steamed eggs, Miao Yufeng walked into the side room like an enclave, carefully closed the door, walked to the bed and said, “How is his sixth aunt? Old man, you should get up and eat first. A bowl of eggs, with strength to regenerate.”

Lou Guizhi, the sixth auntie, was the midwife in the village and said with a happy face: “Miao sister-in-law, just got three fingers, and the child hasn’t shown her head yet. Yimin daughter-in-law, you are really lucky, see how good your mother-in-law is to you. Ouch. , really enviable.”

The woman lying on the bed was Su Mingwan, the eldest daughter-in-law of Mrs. Feng. As her name suggests, she was born with a small skeleton and a melon-seeded face, which looked beautiful and weak. At this moment, there were beads of sweat all over her neck, but she still frowned and struggled to get up.

Old Madam Feng didn’t agree with her eldest son to marry her back then, but she didn’t expect this dodder-like woman to have the tenacity of a vine and not be squeamish at all. So far, two boys have been born to the Feng family, one of them is the eldest grandson.

Seeing her gasping forbearance, Madam Feng quickly put down the bowl in her hand, sat on the edge of the bed, carefully supported her waist, did not dislike the **** smell in the delivery room at all, and said with a grin, “Mr. Eat it hot.”

“Thank you, Mom.” Su Wan was very polite at all times. She ate the steamed eggs in small bites while holding the bowl in Madam Feng’s hand.

With this appearance, Aunt Liu, who was waiting on the side, was secretly holding Yahuazi, she thought to herself, no wonder it was said that Su Wan was the young lady of the landlord’s family outside the mountains, but there was some truth to it.

Su Wan was eating well, but suddenly, the soup spoon fell into the bowl.

“Hey yo, this is about to give birth?” Mrs. Feng was very experienced at first sight. “Old everyone, hurry up and lie down. Sixth aunt, what are you doing there? Come over here!”

Aunt Liu regained her senses, and hurriedly pressed Su Wan on the bed, and said loudly, “Daughter-in-law of Yimin, if I tell you to work hard, you will work hard, you know?”

“Force! Force! Force!” Aunt Liu seemed to be shouting a slogan. Every time she shouted, she would beat her fist down hard, pounding the bed board with a bang. Suddenly, she looked over and said in surprise, “Exposing her head. Now! Try harder!”

In the main room outside, Feng Yimin wandered around the whole room, and upon closer inspection, the trouser leg on his left hadn’t been lowered, and even his hair was messed up. Although he already has two sons, he is as nervous as his daughter-in-law was when he had a baby for the first time.

Beside him, 6-year-old Feng Xiaodong and 4-year-old Feng Xiaoxi were also restless. Witnessing your own mother being put into the delivery room is terrifying for small children.

Feng Xiaoxi was a little younger after all, and he still didn’t quite understand it. He slowly shook his legs, remembering what the adults said, tilted his head and said, “Is Mom going to give birth to a younger brother for us?”

Feng Xiaodong glanced at his grandfather walking in, broke his shoulder and said, “It’s not a younger brother, it’s a younger sister. Mom wants to give birth to a younger sister for us.”

Following Old Man Feng were two young daughters-in-law, who slapped the water droplets on each other’s bodies. The stocky-looking name was Zhao Chunhua. She just heard this sentence and said with a smile: “Dad, tell Second Aunt, is your mother a younger brother or a younger sister?”

“Sister!” “Brother!” Dawa and Erwa spoke at the same time, and they both said it very seriously.

“Puchihaha…” Chen Hongmei, the young daughter-in-law next to her, laughed, frowning and said, “It seems that this time the eldest sister-in-law is going to give birth to two children, maybe it will be a boy and a girl. Second sister-in-law, it’s the same as your three children and four children. twin.”

“That’s good, my mother-in-law’s cousin gave birth to her. It seems to be called a dragon… Oh right, a dragon and a phoenix, that’s what it’s called.” Zhao Chunhua nodded honestly, looking at the side room with bright eyes.

Chen Hongmei pursed her lips and smiled, standing in the middle of the hall, looking in the direction of the delivery room, and said worriedly: “I heard a movement just now from the next door, why hasn’t the baby been born yet? It’s very cold when the baby is born.”

“Cough-cough!” The old man Feng was quite superstitious. He swept his eyes at her and said with a stern face: “If you don’t know how to speak, don’t say anything. What a ghost? Bah, bah, bah!”

Chen Hongmei walked back embarrassedly, blushing and said, “Dad, look at my broken mouth, I’m used to talking casually…”

Before she could finish her words, there was a burst of baby crying from the delivery room. Everyone suddenly stopped and looked at the delivery room.

“I was born, I was born!” Aunt Liu’s face emerged from behind the door of the delivery room and hesitantly said, “It’s… a little girl.”

“Ahahahaha, the girl is so good!” Old Feng burst out surprises from his eyes, and his laughter was so loud that the roof was about to shake, “Hahaha, my old Feng family finally has a girl, and the sky has eyes!”

At this time, Feng Yimin had already rushed into the delivery room.

Chen Hongmei poked her head through the crack of the door and said in a low voice, “What’s so strange about having a loser?”

Aunt Liu was still here, so Zhao Chunhua didn’t want outsiders to see the joke, so she quickly grabbed the concubine beside her and interrupted: “It’s good to have a daughter, our old Feng family hasn’t had a daughter in 100 years. Listen to him. Dad said that the last daughter was his great-aunt and grandmother.”

“That’s right, both boys and girls are good. You Feng’s family has many boys. It might hurt to give birth to a girl. I’m so lucky.” Sixth Aunt smiled happily. She inadvertently saw the sky outside. Suddenly, “Huh”, he stretched out his finger and said, “You don’t think it’s strange. It was still raining just now. The sky will be sunny in this child’s life.”

She walked quickly outside the main room and shouted louder, “Ouch, two rainbows! Come out and see!”

Feng old man showed his amazing fighting power, and rushed out of the door in the blink of an eye, his eyes lit up with joy, his hands clasped together and kept shaking, and he said in a dazzling manner: “This is God bless, Mazu bless, this child is born Geely, our old Feng family is blessed.”

He prayed satisfactorily before walking back to the main room with his hands behind his back and shaking his head.

In the delivery room, everyone surrounded the newborn baby, as if looking at some strange baby.

The little baby has just been cleaned up and wrapped in a red cotton swaddling cloth. The little face exposed outside is white and tender. It has hair and fluffy at birth. Her two chubby hands were in a surrendering posture, like lotus knots, and the small fists were tightly clenched, and the tiny flesh pits were clearly visible.

Xu is hungry, the little baby squeezed a small pink mouth, two small dimples looming. After a while, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she began to cry.

“Oh, you’re fat, look at this little dimple, and you’re still spitting bubbles, are you hungry?” Madam Feng held the baby in her arms and teased gently, kicking Feng Yimin who was sitting on the edge of the bed, chin Yi Yang said, “Boss, sit up with your daughter-in-law, our little seven is hungry, it’s time for milk.”

“Come on, daughter-in-law, I’ll help you get up.” Feng Yimin hugged Su Wan’s back, helped her sit on the head of the bed, put a pillow behind him, and then opened his arms to take the baby in Mrs. Feng’s arms, Carefully hold it up and deliver it to his daughter-in-law’s chest.

Seeing that the baby was eating vigorously, Feng Yimin’s face burst into a silly smile, and he touched the soles of her feet secretly, causing the baby’s calves to kick.

“Get up for me.” Madam Feng stared at him, grabbed his collar and pulled him up, and sat down for herself, but she was no better than Feng Yimin. The little baby teased from head to toe. Finally, he tapped her little cheek, smiled and said, “Grandma’s little Qi’er, look at how strong this sucker is, eat slowly, eat slowly.”

“I want to see my sister.” “Show me.” The big baby and the second baby pushed Feng Yimin away and surrounded him. When they saw the delicate little baby, they didn’t dare to touch it.

“Mom, is this my brother?” Erwa wanted to open her swaddle, but was slapped away by Mrs. Feng, who pointed at his nose earnestly and said, “Erwa, this is my sister, Xiao Qi. My sister, not my brother, remember?”

“Sister?” Erwa stared at the little baby’s face, suddenly laughed “hee hee” and said shyly, “I like my sister, grandma, is my sister called Xiao Qi’er?”

Chen Hongmei, who arrived later, interrupted and said, “Second baby, there are six boys in our family. Isn’t your sister number seven? Isn’t she called Xiao Qi’er?”

She stood by the bed with her head sticking out, covered her chest, and said cheerfully, “Our old Feng family finally has a girl doll, and she’s still a lucky girl. Look at her tender face.”

“What do you say?” Miao Yufeng stared at her suspiciously, but at this moment she heard Old Man Feng’s voice, “Are you all right? Take it out and show it to me.”

As a father-in-law, it is difficult for him to enter his daughter-in-law’s delivery room. He was already anxiously circling outside, and finally he couldn’t help raising his voice to urge: “Feng’er, show me Xiao Qi’er.”

“What are you in a hurry? Wait a minute, our little Qier is not full yet.” Miao Yufeng responded casually, but when she turned her head, she found that the little granddaughter had already filled her stomach and went to sleep.

She took the baby lightly, carefully wrapped her swaddle, held her in her arms and walked out of the delivery room, using her body to block the air vent, she moved forward with joy, and said in a low voice, “Look, this is the Our little seven, isn’t it pretty, old man?”

The old man Feng was so smiling that he could not see his teeth, even the roots of his teeth were exposed, so he wanted to reach out and hug him, but he didn’t want to be avoided by Miao Yufeng, “Go, go, your hands are heavy, you hurt us carefully. Little Seven.”

Old man Feng was so anxious that he blew his beard and stared at him. He blushed and said, “Why do I have heavy hands? My hands are not heavy at all!” Despite this, he did not insist on hugging his little granddaughter, but leaned closer to take a closer look.

When he saw it clearly, he was even more excited. He tightened his swaddling clothes and said, “Feng’er, our little Qi’er has an auspicious sign when she was born. After the rain, the sky will be fine, and there will be two rainbows. What a blessing this is.”

“Really?” Miao Yufeng’s eyes widened. As an old country lady, she was still a little superstitious.

“What am I lying to you for? It’s just outside, everyone saw it just now.” Old man Feng straightened his chest and looked like his granddaughter was ready to do everything. It’s up to our little seven.”

He patted the swaddling clothes lightly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, “Yes! It rained when our little Qi’er was born, and it was born in the spring when all things sprouted, so he was called Yumeng, Feng Yumeng.”

Miao Yufeng looked at him up and down, as if she didn’t know him. When old man Feng was about to open his mouth to question him, he finally nodded and said, “Well, old man, it’s rare for you to have a good name, Feng. Yumeng? Yes, very suitable for our little seven.”

“That’s it!” Old Man Feng was extremely proud, “I was a village chief, I think back then…” Before he could finish his words, Miao Yufeng slammed the door of the delivery room shut in front of him.

“Boss, her father named our little Qi’er Yumeng, what do you think?” Miao Yufeng was very satisfied with the name and couldn’t wait to share it with her son.

“Yumeng, Yumeng,” Feng Yimin savored carefully, and couldn’t help but nodded and said, “This name is not bad, Meng is the growth of grass and trees, with sunshine, moon and rain, our little girl will definitely grow well, daughter-in-law?”

Su Wan opened her eyes wearily and said softly, “Okay, my nickname is Mengmeng.”

“Mengmeng, be good,” Miao Yufeng looked at the child’s little face lovingly, and said rudely, “We have a name and a nickname for Xiaoqier, so we will be called Mengmeng from now on.”

The birth of Mengmeng brought infinite surprises to the old Feng family. This is a female doll born in their family after a hundred years.

As soon as Miao Yufeng and Old Man Feng discussed it, they decided to celebrate. Saying it was a celebration, in fact, it was preparing some red eggs, rice, peanuts, and brown sugar to worship the ancestors. After cooking the ingredients, it was just enough for Su Wan to replenish her body.

As the old patriarch and former village chief, Old Man Feng has the power to open ancestral halls to worship. This is a great event in the south.

Most of the villagers in Taoyuan Village have the same ancestor from the root. Everyone lives next to each other. The broken tendons are still connected to the bones. One of them counts as one, and they all come to congratulate.

This is also after the reform and opening up, so that this remote small fishing village has also been favored. If this happened in the past, it would have been something that I would not have dared to think about. I wouldn’t say anything about it if I didn’t eat or wear it. Just this one opening an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors would make people say one, two, or three.

On the day of the opening of the ancestral hall, the Feng family got up early, all dressed up fresh, and put on the new clothes they were reluctant to wear at the bottom of the press box.

Su Wan was still in the confinement period, so Miao Yufeng rushed to work overnight, and personally bought Mengmeng a small red dress, not to mention the spirit of wearing it.

No, Miao Yufeng hugged the little Mengmeng who was wearing new clothes, and said with pity: “We Mengmeng is only 3 days old, and she’s getting fatter when she sees the sky, look at this little face, she’s so delicate, Do you like wearing the new clothes made by grandma?”

Although it is to worship the ancestors, there is nothing to do with Xiaomengmeng. She is put in a small cradle after she is dressed, and she is left to be seen by relatives and friends who come and go.

Daughter-in-laws, big and small, have seen Su Wan and Xiao Mengmeng, and they can’t help but be amazed.

“The Victory family is really, it’s just a baby girl, it’s so rare, tsk tsk tsk.”

“It’s strange to say that from the beginning of the ancestors, the Shengsheng family has had many male babies and very few female babies. If you have one child at a time, shouldn’t you have to work hard?”

“Look, what sister-in-law Miao cooked for her elders just now, stewed papaya with brown sugar and peanuts, and those red eggs, which daughter-in-law has such a blessing? This is the one who gave birth to a daughter, I think she was born. The son’s has never been served like this, if you don’t believe me, ask the second and third of her family.”

“Look at what I’m doing? You have to ask yourself, the people are over there, you go. I still go to see Xiaomengmeng, don’t tell me, the people Mengmeng looks different from our village, It looks better than her mother, and it will definitely be like this in the future.” The woman said, comparing her thumbs.

On this day, people came and went, but no one noticed that a little boy once appeared quietly. When he saw the tender and tender little Mengmeng in the cradle, he wanted to touch but he didn’t dare. I can stretch out two small hands and carefully measure it in the air. It’s small, soft and fragrant. It’s really cute.

Erwa said arrogantly beside her, “Isn’t she pretty? This is my sister, Mengmeng.”
