Based on the current income level of the Sun family, we want to achieve these goals.
It would take more than ten years to make money, and the Sun family was certainly not willing to improve their living standards.
Even though they can't even eat enough sorghum noodles, the whole family wants to save some sorghum to feed the family's piglets and make more money by selling it at the end of the year.
If you want the Sun family to stop being frugal and want to live a good life, you need to have thousands of dollars, build a few cave dwellings, and then marry Sun Shaoping an aunt. Only after these things are completed can it be possible.
So Wang Manyin has cakes at home. The cakes are soft and suitable for Grandma Lanhua to eat, but she still needs to send some over.
After returning from a trip to Huangyuan, Wang Manyin started working normally again. What Wang Manyin is more satisfied with is that it is still the hay season and he works in the village without going out of the mountains.
Of course, it is not easy to raise sheep in captivity. The sheep are now the treasure of the production team and the largest source of cash income for the members.
If it weren't for the large number of people arranging it, it wouldn't be an easy task. Cleaning and preparing materials would take a lot of effort every day.
The time has quickly come to late March, and the orchid’s due date is getting closer and closer.
While Wang Manyin was chatting with Li Laishun, he saw Mao Dan running into the breeding room in a hurry.
"Dad, my mother has a stomachache. The pain is very severe. Let me call you."
"Brother Laishun, my mother-in-law may be giving birth, so I'll go back first."
Wang Manyin had already been mentally prepared. He borrowed a truck from the team headquarters and let Mao Dan ride on it, then took him straight home.
When I got home, I saw that Lan Hua was in pain and had turned pale: "Man Yin, I might be giving birth. You should hurry up and call Aunt Xiu Hua."
Aunt Xiuhua is the midwife of Gujin Village. It is not popular to go to the hospital to give birth now, and many people do not have the conditions to go to the hospital. Most of them are delivered by midwives at home. Aunt Xiuhua is not considered a wild child.
In order to improve the birth conditions of the masses, the state strengthens the rural delivery force, reduces the risk of childbirth, and ensures the safety of mothers and children.
Each village selected a woman who was clever, strong, and well-born to participate in the training of a midwife (mother-in-law). She went to the commune hospital for delivery training, and was trained on new methods of delivery such as the disinfection of delivery tools.
Aunt Xiuhua’s delivery skills are pretty good. Both Mao Dan and Dog Dan were delivered by Aunt Xiuhua. It cannot be said that her delivery skills are worse than those of obstetricians and gynecologists in hospitals, but the hygiene at home is indeed poor in all aspects, and Gu Guan Village is not far away from the Shige Festival.
Wang Manyin certainly didn't want Lanhua to give birth to a child at home.
Midwives have a high status in rural areas and are respected by everyone. After the child is born, the midwife fills out a certificate and stamps it with a private seal, and then goes to the commune hospital with the certificate to receive the birth certificate.
The maternal family members pay one yuan, and one month later, the midwife goes to the hospital to settle the bill. The midwife can get 0.7 to 0.8 yuan in compensation for delivering a newborn. Of course, the family members will also have some opinions.
"Lanhua, let's go directly to Shigejie Hospital. We won't give birth at home this time."
Without waiting for Lan Hua to speak, Wang Manyin grabbed a bed and went out to spread it on the canopy bed.
Then he carried Orchid to the canopy bed, took the baby supplies that had been prepared in advance, and set off for the Stone Ge Festival.
"Mao Dan, Gou Dan, you go to Aunt Liu's house to play first. Dad has asked someone to go to Shuangshui Village to inform your grandma and grandpa. You wait for them to pick you up."
Pulling the canopy bed to avoid bumps, the distance was not far, and he was not in a hurry. Wang Manyin mainly found a flat road to walk, while comforting Lan Hua.
"Man Yin, both cat eggs and dog eggs were born at home, how can we go to the hospital this time!"
"It's okay. Don't worry. The conditions are better now. Nowadays, in cities and rural areas, people choose to go to the hospital to give birth to their babies. There is no problem with the baby."
This is a white lie. Wang Manyin just wants to be safer. Spending a few more dollars is nothing. In rural areas, most midwives come to deliver babies. If there is an accident, they will be sent to the hospital. The villagers are not aware of this yet. Normally
I don't want to waste a few more dollars.
After arriving at the hospital, Wang Manyin left the hospital first while waiting for Lanhua to go into the ward to give birth, exchanged wheat for food stamps at the commune grain station, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy milk powder and malted milk.
I went to the state-owned canteen again and bought a bowl of noodles and a bowl of millet porridge. I packed them in the lunch box I brought and took them back to Orchid.
If it weren't for the good location of Shige Festival, cars coming from the direction of Mijia Town are the only way to go to Yuanxi and Huangyuan, and there are many passing drivers. It would be really not so convenient to buy these in a canteen opened in the commune.
When Wang Manyin returned to the commune hospital, before the Lanhua meal was finished, Shaoan came over with Lanhua's mother.
"Man Yin, why did you come to the hospital if you weren't just giving birth to a baby?"
Lanhua's mother is good in all aspects, but her thinking is a bit old-fashioned and cannot keep up with the times. Don't bother coming to the hospital to give birth. When Xiulian is about to give birth, Lanhua's mother is ready to deliver the baby herself without a midwife.
"Mom, there's nothing wrong. Medical treatment is now better than before. It's normal to give birth in the hospital."
Before Wang Manyin could speak, Shaoan said first that Shaoan was very capable of accepting new ideas and new things. Maybe it was because Xiulian had just become pregnant that Shaoan had considered this issue and made the decision to come to the hospital to give birth.
"Shaoan, where are the children?"
Pregnant women also have pains from time to time. Lanhua is fine now, but she starts to miss Mao Dan and Gou Dan.
"Sister, Dad has brought Mao Dan and Gou Dan home. They will stay at our house for the next two days. You don't have to worry."
Sun Yuhou is very reliable in his work and his arrangements are very reasonable. What Wang Manyin really needs is Mother Lanhua. Mother Lanhua does not go out often, so it is most suitable for Shaoan, the most capable person in the Sun family, to accompany her.
"Mom, Shao'an, you are here in such a hurry, you haven't eaten yet. Wait a moment orchid has finished eating, there will be a lunch box, I will go buy some food."
Depending on the time, it's not too early to eat now. It's appropriate to eat the meal first while Orchid is not in big trouble at the moment.
Wang Manyin went to the canteen again and bought a portion of pork stewed with cabbage, a portion of scrambled eggs with green onions, and two-by-two white-flour steamed buns. He bought ten of them.
"Man Yin, why did you buy so much? It contains meat, eggs, and white flour steamed buns. Leave it for Orchid to eat. Besides, even if you buy so much, we can't finish it!"
I really can’t believe what Orchid Mom said she couldn’t finish. There is no fat or water in her belly, and both men and women eat a lot. After eating, they will definitely be able to finish it, but it is not certain whether they will be full.
"Man Yin, you can't live a good life, how can you eat like this." Shaoan also expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Mom, I bought it for the three of us. Not to mention the orchids, we have already eaten them, and it is not suitable to eat them now. It seems that the baby is about to be born, and it will have to wait until tonight. I have to stay up late tonight, so why don't I eat something good?
