A Rural Life in the 70s

February 4, 1975. The Lunar New Year of the Lunar New Year is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. beginning of spring.

At 19:36, a 73-magnitude earthquake struck near Haicheng and Yingkou, Liaoning. The earthquake went to Nenjiang and Mudanjiang in Heilongjiang, Suqian in Jiangsu to the south, Wuyuan Town in Xidan Inner Mongolia, and Xi’an in Shaanxi Province. The east line crossed the border to North Korea, with a radius of 1000 kilometers.

As a neighboring Bohai Bay, the Huibei area of ​​S Province, which is separated from Liaoning by only one Bohai Bay, has a strong sense of earthquake. The local adobe houses cannot withstand, cracking and collapsing.

On the morning of the twelfth lunar month, the sky was not bright, the wind was cold, and the snow was falling.

On the small square of the Taiping Town Health Center, dozens of tents were set up on the wrong ground. The two high-hanging street lights were still lit and pale. In the coldness of the sky, only the hot air at the entrance of the canteen added some anger to the cold morning after the disaster.

The eight-year-old Xiao Qiu squatted and looked at the front of the team. There were three or four people in front of him, and she was discharged to her soon.

In order to give her mother a premature birth, she has been standing in the cold wind of the twelfth month for more than half an hour, and her cheeks are red and purple. The hands and feet initially felt pain, and now they were frozen, and they were completely unaware.

When she held a bowl of corn paste and turned back, the Yuhua scorpion of Wang’s grandmother’s house, who lived in the same tent with her mother, hurried forward, took the bowl in her hand, and stuffed a pot. The infusion bottle of hot water is in her hand: “Hey, Xiaoqiu is coming in, the frost is broken? Hold this cockroach…”

Grandma Wang was hospitalized by the appendicitis. She had just had an operation the day before, and she caught up with the earthquake. She could not go home. She could only live in a tent ward with the premature Xiaoqiu Niang.

Xiaoqiu felt warm and smiled. He held the bottle and came to Wang’s grandmother, and stuffed the bottle into the bed of Wang’s grandmother.

Grandma Wang said: “Your nephew makes you warm hands…”

Xiaoqiu smiled and said: “I warmed up twice. You are holding some of this bottle. You have to use it to warm your hands when you hang it for a while!”

Grandma Wang’s eyes were full of appreciation and admiration. She squinted at the frostbite on Xiaoqiu’s face and quickly reminded her daughter-in-law: “Yuhua, I think the child’s face is frozen, so I’ll take it out at this moment. The coldness is so bad that it is sore, but it is necessary to sit on the ground! The face of the little niece is the most important. If you stay, you can ruin such a handsome child… Otherwise, you go to the door to dig some snow…”

Yuhua’s scorpion is crispy and willing to go out to dig snow, but it was stopped by Xiaoqiu: “Don’t be busy with the scorpion, I will call my mother to eat first… I will go there later!”

Grandma Wang smiled appreciatively and praised: “It’s so sensible to have such a big child…”

Speaking, the two women looked at each other and saw some sighs in the eyes of the other party: this little girl is only eight years old, but she is so sensible, she is still strong… I don’t know the servant of the Song family. How can you give birth to such a strong child!

Xiaoqiu turned back to look at the still sleeping mother, and then think about his own stall, really not as good as a grandmother, and gave her a rare warmth.

She smiled and said: “Wang Grandma…” The smile that was propped up was full of bitterness. It was clear that there was no tears, but it seemed to be more distressing than crying.

Grandma Wang sighed and waved, and called Xiaoqiu to the front, pulling her frozen red hand gently, softly said: “Children, don’t feel bad. Your mother and your little brother can survive this robbery. It is not necessarily a good thing, people don’t say that there is no regret after the disaster!”

Xiao Qiu Niang is Song Xiulian, who is the grand prostitute of Song Guang who originally opened a snack shop in Taiping Town. The Song House’s snack shop was opened. Not only did the town have a workshop, but the snack shop was opened to the county seat. After the liberation, the public-private joint venture established a county food factory to continue to produce snacks. Song Guang had also served as the director of the dim sum factory for several years. It’s just that the good times are not long. In a few years, Song Guang’s job was relieved, and he returned to his home to reflect on the issue. Because Song Guang had taken the initiative to support the army and met some people. After he slammed the words, he was spared. He was not classified as a capitalist, but he was a small owner.

Even so, the Song family’s days are not good. Song Xiulian, a big niece, graduated from junior high school. She could have arranged for work in the county, but she had to go back to the town to work with her. Son Song Xiucheng finished high school, and he has excellent academic performance, but he has no chance to continue his studies. The young niece Song Xiuju also has excellent grades, but she only goes to the second year…

It is said that over the years, I have come over. Seeing that the situation is not so tight, the Song family should have escaped the catastrophe, but did not want to. I don’t know who revealed the so-called crimes of the Song family. Song Guang’s old couple were being shackled. I went to the streets and interrupted Song Guang’s legs!

In the last life, Song Xiuju, who was about to come to the hospital, got a letter and ventured back to her family to visit her father. However, she was born in the road ditch because of the earthquake. When the next day was discovered, the girl was already frozen! Poor Xiaoqiu, the little brother, just born…

In the last life, Song Xiulian just went out, Xiaoqiu’s grandmother and aunt took the door to take her sister Xiaoxia and gave it to the aunt who did not have a child…

Recalling all kinds of the previous world, Xiaoqiu Lingling shuddered, his eyes fell on the sleepy mother, and his heart flicked down: okay, okay, she had time to save her mother and her brother’s life. .

As for the little girl who was taken away by the aunt, and… she will not let the tragedy happen again if she is born again. for sure!

“Hey, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid…” Grandma Wang noticed the shudder of Xiaoqiu. She only thought that the little girl was timid and clenched her hand and sighed softly.

Yuhua’s nephew is also comforting at the side, greeting Xiaoqiu: “Little autumn, call your mother, eat it hot!”

Xiaoqiu packed up his mood and came to Song Xiulian’s bed and whispered. After several sounds, Song Xiulian had a reaction and slowly opened his eyes: “Little Autumn…”

“Hey! Mother, I have a meal, I will feed you a little bit!” As he said, Xiaoqiu took off his cotton jacket and folded it. He reached out to Song Xiulian’s neck and forced her head up. Take advantage of the trend, stuff the folded cotton tampon into it, and put Song Xiulian’s head cushion higher.

Song Xiulian is very weak, but her mind is very clear. The first sentence asks: “Xiaoqiu, have you eaten?”

Xiaoqiu took a spoonful of corn paste and sent it to Song Xiulian’s mouth. He said: “Mother, I have received a few pockets. When you finish eating, I will eat it. Don’t worry, I can’t hungry!”

Song Xiulian’s look relaxed, revealing a smile. However, she really had no appetite, barely ate a few mouthfuls, and shook her head and did not eat.

Yuhua’s nephew rushed a little bit of syrup, took a spoon and licked it, and fed it to Xiaoqiu’s younger brother’s mouth. Xiao Qiu cleaned the corners of Song Xiulian, made a pillow, and saw Yuhua’s nephew feeding his younger brother.

Because of the premature birth for more than half a month, my brother’s body is obviously weak, only a little more than four pounds, curled up in the quilt like a kitten, crying low and weak, not very vocal – just like this cat A child like a child, but has the most vital vitality, feeding sugar into his mouth, the translucent small mouth actually swallowed.

Xiaoqiu’s eyes are hot and almost fall into tears. As long as I am willing to eat, as long as I can eat it, she believes that my younger brother can live well, grow up, and grow into a healthy and strong young man!

“Mother, my brother has eaten…” Xiaoqiu screamed with joy.

Yuhua’s nephew also said with joy to Wang’s grandmother: “Oh, mother, this little boy can eat happily!”

“Hey, hey, can eat, just eat, just use a little sugar water to open, wait for Xiao Qiu Niang’s milk to come down, just feed!” Grandma Wang smiled with joy.

Song Xiulian’s head was faint, and her eyes were vague. She only knew that her daughter was in front of her, and her son was very good… She finally gave birth to a son!

After all, the little boy is too small, and he dare not feed too much. The little things don’t cry and don’t make trouble. He slams his mouth and sleeps a little.

“Mother, my brother has slept again…” Xiaoqiu lowered his voice and turned back to report. In a blink of an eye, he saw that Song Xiulian had fallen asleep again. …when I just touched the skin of my mother, it seems to be a little hot?

Xiaoqiu reached out and touched Song Xiulian’s forehead. The temperature of the tentacles made her suddenly change her face: it was really a fever!

She couldn’t attend to eat, and greeted her with Grandma Wang and Yuhua’s nephew, and ran out to go to the tent where the doctors and nurses were working…
