422 Becoming a Father
Fragrant Spring - 422 Becomes a Dad
Liping's stomach pain came and went, but every time it healed, the pain was even worse the next time. Around nine o'clock in the evening, her amniotic fluid broke, and she screamed in pain. Lin Hua's mother came in and out,
One moment he ordered Lin Hua to boil water, and the other moment he urged Lin Hua's father to find scissors. Although he was born prematurely, he did not imagine it.
In the midst of difficulty, Lin Hua had just boiled water when he heard a baby crying from the room. Lin Hua's tense heart finally relaxed. He threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and realized that he didn't know when
, tears quietly came out. When he looked at the ground, there were more than a dozen cigarette butts that he had half smoked and then thrown away.
Lin Hua's mother walked out of the room and said to Lin Hua with a smile: "I've given birth to a baby. I'm going to be a grandma."
Lin Hua said impatiently: "I'll go in and take a look."
Lin Hua's mother smiled and hit Lin Hua, and said: "What's the hurry? Help us get water in, I'll carry the basin." Lin Hua's mother seemed to think of something again, grabbed Lin Hua, and asked: "How many can you get?
"Antimonium hao." An antimony hao is a coin, and the older people in Muwa Village call it that.
Lin Hua understood why his mother asked for coins. Muwa Village had this habit of putting a few coins in the basin for the first time, three mornings, full moon, and every year when the baby was bathed. What did it mean specifically, Lin Hua knew.
I don’t know anymore, I just know that since it’s money, it must have a lucky meaning. Lin Hua quickly took the money from his trouser pocket
He took out the money and handed all the coins of one cent, two cents and five cents to his mother. Just as Lin Hua was about to fetch water, his mother snatched it away. His mother said, "I'd better fetch water. You prepare three red envelopes."
, one for sister (Lin Hua’s daughter), and the other for Liping and Aunt Zhang, remember to pay 36 cents."
This is another custom in Muwa Village. In Muwa Village, everything is about profit. Sanliu was determined from who knows which dynasty. It does not have to be 36 cents, but it can also be 36 yuan.
Of course, a rich thirty-six can do it. Lin Hua was happy today. He did not pay thirty-six cents as his mother said, but he paid three yuan and six. Anyway, only one was for Aunt Zhang, and the rest were for his family.
, it’s like putting money from your left trouser pocket to your right trouser pocket.
Lin Hua sealed the red chips, pushed open the door of the room and came in. He saw that Liping had changed her clothes, with a towel on her forehead, her face was a little pale, and she was lying quietly on the bed. Her mother and Aunt Zhang were busy feeding the child.
Take a shower, sprinkle a few coins in the tub
, illuminated brightly by the lights in the swaying water. It was said to be bathing the child, but in fact it was just wiped with a towel. The child was held in the palm of the mother's hand, eyes closed, crying, and kept dancing.
The little hands and feet are very cute.
When Aunt Zhang saw Lin Hua come in, she said with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, Hua Zi, you have won a thousand pieces of gold."
Lin Hua said: "A daughter is great, I have always dreamed of having a daughter."
Because it was a premature birth, the Lin family had no preparations, so they had to find Lin Hua's old blanket and wrap the baby first. After the mother wrapped the baby who was fidgeting with little hands, Lin Hua took out the red chips and stuffed the baby with it.
She put one into the blanket and said softly: "Baby, daddy will give you a gift. I hope you grow up healthily and quickly." Then he touched her little face.
Lin Hua's mother held the child, shook it gently, and said on behalf of the child: "I know, our baby will grow up healthy and healthy. Oh, the baby is hungry and wants to eat from grandma."
The child was carried to Liping's side and asked Liping to breastfeed the child.
Lin Hua continued to distribute the money to Aunt Zhang and said, "Thank you so much."
Aunt Zhang naturally accepted it, and she and Lin Hua said a few polite words and helped to take out the dirty water and pour it out. In Muwa Village, there is a special order when pouring water for a child's first bath. It cannot be poured to the bottom of the road.
Pour it into the gutter, but under a flourishing fruit tree.
After Aunt Zhang went out, her mother was the only one left in the room. Lin Hua was not shy. He leaned over and kissed Liping in front of his mother and said, "Honey, I love you." After saying this, he held the tip of his hand.
It was stuffed under Liping's pillow.
Liping smiled happily. She was about to speak, but Lin Hua's mother preempted her. Lin Hua's mother said, "It suits you. You didn't love Liping before."
Lin Hua also smiled. This time, Lin Hua's words were snatched away by Liping. Liping said, "Mom, Hua Zi has always loved me."
It's really strange to say that this woman was born prematurely. She would also have milk, and the milk would come as soon as she gave birth to the child. Liping turned sideways, picked up her clothes and breastfed the child. Although the child was born prematurely, she was still quite healthy.
Yes, as soon as his mouth touched Liping's breasts, he started sucking them. And the crying stopped instantly. I don't know if the saying, "If you have breasts, you are a mother," is appropriate to use it here.
Lin Fen and Qiaoying didn't know where they got the news, so they came to Lin Hua's house together. As soon as Lin Fen entered the house, she asked: "Dad, is the baby about to happen? Is it a boy or a girl?"
When a woman gives birth to a baby and has not yet given birth, most men, except her husband, will not enter her room. Lin Hua’s father and Youcai were sitting in the main room smoking. Lin Hua’s father was rarely happy. He said: "This child is not my father's."
"Girl, it's Liping who has given birth. Come in quickly and take a look. Keep your voice down so you don't disturb the baby."
Qiaoying slapped Lin Fen on the back and said with a smile: "Look at how anxious you are, you can't even speak." Then she pushed Lin Fen into Lin Hua's room.
The child was full and was lying quietly next to Liping, sleeping sweetly. When Liping saw Lin Fen and Qiaoying, she leaned over and whispered to Lin Hua: "Go get a bench for Fen and Qiaoying."
sit."
Qiaoying walked to the bed and, without looking at the child, took Liping's hand, who was still very weak, and said, "You are so brave."
Liping smiled and said: "How brave is this? You will be very brave in the future."
Lin Hua brought a bench and sat with his sister and Qiaoying. The three women were chatting, and he looked intently at his sleeping little daughter. Lin Hua wanted to give her a hug, but he didn't know where to start.
At this time, her mother found an old hat for Liping to put on and said, "Put this one on first, and I will go to the county town to buy you a new one tomorrow."
There are so many customs in Muwa Village. Women must wear hats during confinement and are not allowed to wash their hair. It is said that this is to prevent headaches in the future. I don’t know if there is any scientific basis. Anyway, this has been passed down from generation to generation in the village.
. Liping said: "There is no need to buy new ones. It will only be worn for a month anyway. It is a waste of money to buy new ones." Liping married into Lin Hua's family and learned to be thrifty. This was part of why Lin Hua's mother doted on her so much.
reason.
The more Liping behaves like this, the more Lin Hua's mother dotes on her. She can't bear to look down on such a sensible daughter-in-law. Lin Hua's mother said: "How can you not buy it? If you buy it, your next child can still wear it. Don't worry about it."
