Chapter 47
Peimin Village is the southernmost village in Lingbei Township, next to Linghai Town where the county government is located.

People in Linghai used to live along the river, and so did Ji Xiaohong's family. They lived by a small river in the No. 200 team of Peimin, about [-] meters away from the office of the brigade by the main road.

Children born in rural areas rarely go to health centers. They used to hire midwives, but now they hire female barefoot doctors from the brigade next door.

Seeing Dr. Zhang delivering the baby, the neighbors ran to watch the excitement, wondering whether Ji Xiaohong would give birth to a fat boy or a girl.

But how could the child be born so easily, I only heard Ji Xiaohong crying in pain in the west room, but I didn't know the situation in the room.

A group of women who like to join in the fun simply gathered around the door of Ji's house, wearing shoe soles or knitting sweaters with sticks, listening to the movement in the west room, and habitually denouncing the Han family.

"It's not good to marry anyone. You have to marry the person on the boat. Tell me what's so good about that Han Shen. Xiaohong won't come back after adopting a child."

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law can't do it either, it seems that the new wife has nothing to do with raising children!"

"When Han Zhengxian came to visit his relatives, I said that this kind of relationship cannot be married. There are three kinds of hardships in the world, such as boating, blacksmithing, and tofu grinding. Xiaohong must endure hardships when she marries his son."

"It may be that they belong to a shipping company and have an urban household registration."

"What kind of urban household registration is the shipping company's urban household registration? It can only run the ship, and does not arrange formal work. There is no house on the shore."

"Running a boat to make money."

"Running a boat is to make money, but the borrowed money is even more. I heard that his family borrowed tens of thousands from the credit union to buy the boat!"

"There are people at his house on the shore. As soon as Xiaohong's amniotic fluid broke, Lao Ji went to the post office to call Han Shen's sister."

"The one in Binjiang?"

"Well, Han Shen's sister and brother-in-law are doing a good job."

"Sister and brother-in-law are good at work, but Han Shen's work is not good. Besides, what time is it now, why don't his sister and brother-in-law come over?"

"I knew it would be like this. At that time, it would be better to marry my natal nephew. If she doesn't listen to her, it's called not listening to the old man's words, and you will suffer in front of your eyes."

……

It was the most tense and painful time for the daughter to raise the children in the house, and they actually talked to each other and made sarcastic remarks outside.

Lao Ji was so angry that his teeth itched, but the neighbors couldn't quarrel with them, so they could only sit at the door and smoke.

Ji's mother was honest and didn't know what to say, so she simply excused that six bottles of boiling water might not be enough, and went back to the kitchen to continue boiling water.

Several women were talking about it, and a child ran over and shouted: "There is a car, a car came to the brigade office!"

The brigade office is on the main road, not a highway.

You can't even see a motorcycle, let alone a car.

Several women felt that looking at the car was more interesting than waiting for Ji Xiaohong to give birth, so they stood up at the same time, picked up the cloth bags containing wool or shoe soles, and were going to see what was going on.

I never thought that as soon as I walked a few steps along the path, a half-sized boy came here carrying a large bag, followed by a policeman in uniform, who seemed to be holding a large plastic bucket in his hand.

The kid with good eyesight said cheerfully: "They drove the car, and I saw them get off."

"The car from the Public Security Bureau..."

"What is the Public Security Bureau doing here?"

"It should be looking for Secretary Yang, Xiao Quan, hurry up and call Secretary Yang!"

"Ok."

The branch secretary of the brigade lived in the sixth house in the back, and a few children ran to the secretary Yang's house.

Yang Zhishu happened to be raising rice at home, and when he heard a few children talking, he washed his hands and ran over.

He ran to the intersection and looked, and suddenly found that the oncoming face was really a familiar face, and he couldn't help being shocked.

"Director Xu, why did you come to our place when you have time?"

"Old Yang, why are you here?"

"My family lives here."

"Really, what a coincidence."

Yang Zhishu looked at the plastic bucket in his hand, then looked back at the child walking towards Ji's house, and asked puzzledly, "Director Xu, what are you doing?"

"Confinement gifts."

Xu Sanye was very happy to meet acquaintances here, and explained with a smile as he walked towards Ji's house: "Our policeman Xiao Han's sister-in-law has too many things, and he can't carry them alone. I happen to I had to go to the Agricultural Bureau to do something, so I sent him over on the way."

Yang Zhishu subconsciously looked at Han Yu who had already run to the door of Ji's house, doubtful: "Is that young man an officer from your police station?"

"Well, he graduated from technical secondary school and was assigned to our institute just this year."

"Xiaohong is his sister-in-law?"

"You do not know?"

"I really do not know."

"Old Yang, how did you become a branch secretary? You are still a neighbor to him, and you don't even know the basics."

"Isn't this busy? I just urged the public grain to be handed in, and it has to be collected and handed in. I am so busy that I haven't raised my own rice until today."

The Han family finally came.

Han San is now a police officer, even the leaders of their police station have come!

Lao Ji was gossiped or even joked just now because his in-laws were on the ship, not to mention how aggrieved, now he really feels proud.

He didn't know how to greet Director Xu. There was half a pack of cigarettes in his trouser pocket, but they were the cheapest cigarettes. He was embarrassed to take them out, and he was at a loss for a while.

Ji's mother also felt that she had face, and stood by the cement window of the west room and shouted excitedly: "Xiaohong, San'er is here. San'er has brought a lot of things, and he came in a car from the Public Security Bureau!"

"Sister-in-law, I'm close, so I'll be here first. My sister and brother-in-law are far away, so I may have to wait a while to arrive."

"Oh……"

"Don't talk, you...Your husband, if I don't go, I'll be at the door."

Han Yu really wanted to say "Come on" to his sister-in-law, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he could only scratch his neck and go back to the director.

Not only was Ji Xiaohong sweating profusely from the pain just now, but she also felt very uncomfortable being told by those mothers and aunts outside who liked to chew their tongues. She felt extremely wronged, tears and sweat rolled down her face.

Hearing my brother-in-law's voice, I felt much better immediately.I really wanted to say a few words to my brother-in-law, but I was too exhausted to speak.

Xu Sanye glanced at the Ji family's house, and knew that the Ji family was also an ordinary family.

He had already delivered the little salted fish to the door, he was not in a hurry to leave, he took out a cigarette and handed one to Dad Ji, and asked with a smile: "Old Ji, how many children are there in your family?"

"Two, and a son."

"How old is the son this year, and has he married?"

"My son is nineteen and has no family. Xiao Hong went ashore to raise his son, and he got on the boat to help Han Shen."

"It's not easy, it's not easy for your father."

"It's nothing difficult, Director Xu, you sit down, and I'll pour the water."

"No trouble, I'll leave after a few words."

Xu Sanye lit a cigarette and asked, "Who delivered the baby?"

Seeing that Lao Ji was a bit restrained, Party Secretary Yang hurriedly said, "Dr. Zhang from Dongguang Clinic."

Lingbei Township is next to the county seat. Xu Sanye knew the situation of the villages in Lingbei Township better, and when he learned that the delivery person was an old acquaintance, he turned around and shouted: "Doctor Zhang, I, Xu Sanye, are you there?"

"Captain Xu, I heard you talking outside a long time ago, I can't take care of it now."

"I stopped being the captain of the criminal investigation a long time ago, and now I'm the director. Xiao Ji is a relative of our policeman. Please make sure that mother and child are safe."

"It's not about please, you can rest assured that I'm here."

Sure enough, Lu Ziye, the director, not only knew the village party secretary, but also the doctor who helped his sister-in-law deliver the baby.

Han Yu was surprised and grateful, and quickly said, "Xu Suo, you still have to go to the Agriculture Bureau, why don't you go to work first."

"Okay, I'll go first, call the office if you need anything."

Xu Sanye patted his arm, then turned around and said with a smile: "Old Ji, congratulations, you are going to be a grandfather soon. Secretary Yang, I have to take a step ahead, and come to drink with you when I am not busy."

It turned out that he was Xu Sanye!

Lao Ji finally regained his composure, looked at Xu Sanye dumbfounded, too frightened to speak.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Who in the county and the surrounding villages and towns has never heard of Xu Sanye, who dare not be afraid of Xu Sanye, his name can be used to frighten disobedient children.

Party secretary Yang knew how shocked Comrade Lao Ji was by Xu Sanye's arrival, so he quickly smiled and said, "Director Xu, I'll see you off."

"Don't give it away, don't you want to raise rice, we will meet again another day."

"Xu Suo, I'm fine, I'll send it off."

"Salted fish, don't give it away, just sit at the door and talk to your sister-in-law. What she needs most now is encouragement."

"Yes."

"gone."

Xu Sanye waved his hand, and just walked a few steps, he saw a group of women whispering around Ji's house, and then looked back at the complex expressions of the old couple of Ji's family.

Thinking of Xianyu's sister-in-law giving birth, and Xianyu's parents and elder brother were away, he was almost certain that these women who liked Zhang's parents and Li's family were not just here to watch the fun.

He frowned suddenly, and his voice was stern: "I'm raising a child inside, what I need most now is silence. It's not like you haven't raised it before, what's so interesting about it!"

Other police officers may be afraid of women who mess around, but Xu Sanye is not.

No matter how troublesome people are, he has a way to deal with them.

Party Secretary Yang didn't want to cause panic in the village because of his arrival, so he hurriedly said, "They're all gone. It's not like you don't have a home. Don't interfere with Xiaohong's production here."

"Did you hear me, do you want me to say it a second time?"

"Oh, I'm going."

"Let's go, I'll go back and collect my clothes."

……

As long as they are old, no one has never heard of Xu Sanye.

When meeting a real person, who dares to contradict him, who dares not to listen to him.

Seeing those women who were always making sarcastic remarks leave in despair, Lao Ji was relieved for a while, feeling that the whole world was quiet, and felt that he had a special sense of face.

Ji's mother also smiled, and followed Han Yu to take Xu Sanye to the intersection.

……

PS: At that time, it was just reformed from the commune, and the common people used to call the village group the team and the village the brigade, which is still the case in our hometown.
