hunting in 1986

Wang Jiatun'er, Wang Yuan's family.

Seeing Li Yan retching again, Wang Yuan frowned and said, "What's wrong? I feel sick to my stomach."

"Maybe, it's like Yue when I see the wind in the past two days." Just after saying a few words, Li Yan held her chest and vomited again, retching and vomiting nothing.

"Hi~"

Wang Yuan scratched his hair, his eyes were filled with anticipation but he was afraid of thinking too much:
"Are you pregnant? Shall we go to the city to check?"

"It's unlikely. Last time I also retched and checked. It was a waste of money. I didn't get pregnant..."

Li Yan wanted a child very much. Seeing that the other daughters-in-law in the village had children, she felt more and more frustrated.

She felt that she was thinking about children, and she was almost dazed.

But the more she wanted it, the more she was afraid of being disappointed. She was a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to do.

"Oh, it's safe to check and check. Let's go, pack some clothes and let's go now."

"Ah, it's already afternoon. If I go today, I won't be able to come back."

"We have a house in the city, so what are we afraid of? Just stay in the city for one night." Wang Yuan was a man of action and got off the kang to put on his shoes, and took the key hanging from the nail on the wall.

After closing the doors and windows, and putting the key of the house door under the brick on the window sill, Wang Yuan went to inform his mother again—they were not at home, so the mother would come to the yard to feed the dog.

The three dogs also need to cook, so they can't starve to death.

chu chu chu ~
When Wang Yuan was riding a motorcycle and driving his wife Li Yan out of the village, he suddenly saw his younger sister, little girl, playing sandbags with a group of little girls.

Whoosh whoosh~
Two little girls stood on both sides to throw, and several other little girls ran in the middle. They got one point for catching the sandbags, and lost one point for hitting the sandbags.

"Second brother! What are you doing?"

The little girl was hit on the arm by the sandbag as soon as she was distracted. She looked at the sandbag angrily, and then ran after the motorcycle with her short legs.

The little yellow dog raised by Xiaoyu's family was sleeping under the tree, and after being awakened, he also ran after the motorcycle, yelling as he ran.

"Wang Wang Wang ~"

"I'll take your sister-in-law to the city, hurry back and play, don't chase after her."

The dirt road was not smooth at all, and the bumpy Wang Yuan rode his motorcycle away.

The little girl was so tired that she was sweating profusely. After watching the motorcycle go completely away, she quickly picked up the puppy and went back.

……

After arriving in the urban area, it was already past 3 pm after the inspection, and the results would not come out until tomorrow morning.

Sleeping in a house in the city at night, Wang Yuan came back from Li Shen's big restaurant to prepare a few hard dishes, stewed bear paws, roasted venison, sauerkraut and stewed flying dragon...the table was full of good dishes, but Li Yan didn't like it. No appetite.

"Xiaoyuan, what if..." Li Yan frowned, but hesitated to speak.

"Oh, what are you thinking about?" Wang Yuan put a piece of delicious bear's paw meat into Li Yan's bowl:
"Humans, the most taboo thing is to think wildly. The more you think, the more you will get tired and flustered... Don't worry, I will support you when the sky falls. You should eat and drink, and live happily and freely."

"Bah~ living like a silly big sister?"

Li Yan pursed her lips and laughed, but she was moved by Wang Yuan's words and started to eat with the bear's paw. …

"Hey, in fact, whether a person's life is happy or not can't just look at the surface. Most people may not be as happy as the silly big sister."

As soon as Wang Yuan finished speaking, he suddenly heard a violent knock on the door, bang bang bang~ accompanied by the knock on the door was a group of young people shouting and fighting.

However, although the sound was violent, it disappeared quickly, and soon the sound went to the east.

"What's the matter, Xiaoyuan?"

"It's a group of young people fighting, it's nothing serious." Wang Yuan shook his head slightly. The dropout rate is very high in this era, and many people don't go to school after two or three years of elementary school.

State-owned enterprises have one radish and one hole, and they can't get in, so many young people start to fool around, and when they are 12 to 15 years old, they all fight fiercely, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't do a few fights a day.

All of them are born in the 70s.

Later generations often talk about the post-90s and post-00s. In fact, the post-70s and post-80s also had various problems when they were teenagers.

Even those born in the 60s had problems when they were young. For example, in the massive crackdown that year, many of the people born in the 60s were arrested.

the next morning.

Wang Yuan and Li Yan came to the hospital with anxiety, and the smell of disinfectant choked their noses.

Taking the film to find the doctor, the doctor said with a smile: "Congratulations, this time I'm really pregnant."

"what!"

The surprise came so suddenly, Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he held the doctor's hand tightly to express his thanks. He also planned to give the doctor a red envelope, but the doctor didn't want it.

Li Yan was also very happy, she covered her mouth and tears flowed down her face. She had suffered too much from drinking that bitter medicine soup every day, not to mention the huge mental pressure, she was about to collapse.

After returning home from the city, Wang Yuan hurriedly told his parents the good news. The two old people were very happy, and they came directly to the courtyard to see Li Yan.

Soon I heard that Xin'er's grandparents had also come. In fact, grandpa hadn't been here for several months. He always felt that he and his grandson and daughter-in-law had to avoid suspicion.

It was really lively for a group of people to get together, and they had a meal together at noon.

The little girl ate a lot of snacks, so she stopped eating when she was eating.

When Wang Yuan went out to look for her, he found her squatting on the vegetable bed.

"Look at the watermelon you planted again? Even if you look at it every day, it won't grow fast."

It’s not good that the biggest little watermelon is getting too big. Apart from it, there are also several small watermelons growing on the other melon seedlings.

It's already July, and the other small watermelons may not be ripe enough.

"Second brother, is the watermelon thirsty? I'll pour some more water."

"Come on, you, if you water again, you will drown."

Wang Yuan carried the little girl back to the house, no matter what she had to eat at noon, otherwise she would be hungry and looking for snacks in the afternoon.

Time passed quickly, and when the frost was about to fall, the biggest watermelon was finally ripe.

click~
Wang Yuan pulled off the stem of the watermelon, picked up the big watermelon and weighed it, feeling that it weighed about ten catties.

"It's okay, it's not too big. It's been planted for such a long time. Cut it open to see if it's ripe."

Li Yan handed the washed kitchen knife to Wang Yuan. After such a long time, she was only slightly pregnant, not very obvious.

Little girl, Xiao Hua, and Xiao Yu waited beside them, looking at the big watermelon on the table eagerly. They probably regarded the watermelon as a toy. …

"Second brother, the watermelon should be ripe, right?"

"Hey, anyone who is not familiar will cut it up, look at the knife..."

Kacha~
Wang Yuan cut the big watermelon in half cleanly, the red flesh was dotted with black watermelon seeds, and the cool and cool watermelon breath came over his face.

"Ah, it's ripe!"

"It's good to be immature, eat it, and taste whether it's sweet or not."

Cut the watermelon into pieces, and it was quite sweet for a few people to eat quickly.

As the days went by, Li Yan's stomach gradually grew bigger, and she became lethargic, weak, dizzy, lacked appetite, irritable and upset, and liked spicy food...

After Wang Yuan waited for a while, he still went to pick up his mother-in-law. The moment Li Yan saw her mother-in-law, she cried.

"Mom~"

"Oh, you child, what are you suffering? It's okay, mom is here."

The mother-in-law feels sorry for the girl and feels happy.

She always felt that a woman's family would be unstable if she didn't have a child. Of course, she still had complicated emotions in her heart. She thought of the time when she gave birth to Li Yan - time passed in a flash, and time really is not forgiving.

No matter what, the mother-in-law is not as good as my own mother.

If Wang Yuan's mother scolded Li Yan, then Li Yan would probably feel very angry. This matter is very serious.

And if the mother-in-law scolded Li Yan, then she didn't think it was serious, or even didn't take it seriously, and it passed quickly. When she was a child, her mother-in-law beat her a lot.

Chinese New Year will be here soon.

bang bang bang
With the sound of firecrackers, time entered 1991. After the firecrackers were set off at midnight, Wang Yuan, who was freezing, hurried to the house.

It's snowing heavily, and it's still warm in the house during the deadly cold season.

New Year's Day.

Just after eating the hot dumplings, the village chief came, wearing a dog fur hat, with a sad face and a big cigarette pouch in his mouth.

Wang Yuan let him into the room, and he didn't drink the tea after it was brought.

"Xiaoyuan, I just came from your cousin Mengzi's yard, and his wife is pregnant again? This is the second child."

"Ah yes, what's the matter?"

"What's wrong!? Planned Parenthood!"

The village chief stared at him. He just came back from the village yesterday, and the village chief called them up to talk about family planning.

In fact, family planning has been implemented a long time ago, but it has been mainly persuasion and management is not strict. Well, in rural areas, there is no persuasion, so they take a rest when they have time to spare.

But it was different after entering the 90s, and began to make relentless moves, and made great efforts to rectify it.

It is still possible for a family to have two children, but what the village head is afraid of is that Wang Meng and his wife will continue to have children.

He felt that he was caught in the middle and the two ends were not human - if he didn't care, the chattering in the village seemed to be eating people.Take it hard, I'm afraid it will offend the people in the village to death.

They are all from the same village, and he doesn't want to offend people too much, otherwise life may not be so easy in the future.

Of course, when he came to Wang Yuan's house, he also secretly warned Wang Yuan not to have too many children. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he meant it both inside and out.

The village chief left, and Wang Yuan sent him out to close the door, which was always rattling when the wind blew. …

"What's wrong with Xiaoyuan?"

Li Yan leaned on the kang head, and gently touched her big belly with her hands. She could feel the little life in her stomach.

"Why am I here? I'm not a worker in a state-owned enterprise, and I can let them hold my life? If we want to have as many children as we want, at most it will be fined. Give them money."

Wang Yuan sat down on the edge of the kang, teasing the dog with his feet while gnawing on the frozen pears. He felt that it was a bit of an advantage not to be a worker in a state-owned enterprise.

The urbanization rate in the Northeast is very high, far higher than that in the border area, and most urban people work in state-owned enterprises, so "fire if you don't obey" really holds a lot of people.

The private economy is underdeveloped. If you are fired by a state-owned enterprise, what will the old snacks drink?
Therefore, the one-child policy in Northeast China is implemented quite well. Many children born in the 90s are only children, especially those from cities.

March 1991, 3, February 17 of the lunar calendar.

At 3 o'clock in the morning of this day, Li Yan gave birth to Wang Yuan's daughter in the city hospital.

"Wow~"

The wrinkled little guy was crying loudly, with a little fetal fat, it looked really ugly, and it was too small, much smaller than a big white cat, Wang Yuan didn't even dare to hug it and was afraid to use a little force. The guy is on the gag.

"Oh, it's so ugly."

Wang Yuan was kicked out after saying a word. His mother, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law Zhou Li were all here.

Wang Yuan sat down on a chair outside the corridor, thinking about what to name his eldest daughter.

My mother came out at this time. In previous years, on the morning of February [-], she would knock here and there with a broom sweeping the kang, muttering something:
"Knock the head of the kang on February [-], and the gold and silver flow home; knock on the edge of the kang on February [-], and the scorpion will not meet with the naked eye~"

She was not at home on February [-] this year, so she had nothing to knock.

"Mom, you haven't closed your eyes all night, sit down and rest for a while."

"Hey, it's really a girl." My mother sat on Wang Yuan's right, sighing one after another:
"Xiaoyan liked to eat spicy food when she was pregnant. I felt something was wrong. I didn't believe in evil and showed it to my husband. He said that I was pregnant with a son. What happened..."

"A daughter is a daughter. I like my daughter very much."

Wang Yuan's stomach was growling. He thought that his wife Li Yan must be hungry after a whole night of tossing. Should he find a place to buy some millet porridge?

"Hey~ You kid doesn't know the power of it, girls are all extroverts, when girls get married in the future, what will happen to you and Xiaoyan?
Me and your dad are now backed by you and your brother, with you two around, who would dare to bully our family?We are not afraid of fighting with you two.

What about when you reach your father's age?Do you want your girl to fight?Or let your uncle go?Let me tell you the truth, the uncle who didn't give birth to him and didn't raise him can't compare to his son..."

In fact, Wang Yuan understands his mother's thoughts a little bit. The rural area is different from the city. Many people in the city are used to looking to the police for investigation.

However, in rural areas, police officers are rarely used for investigation. They are bored and resistant to dealing with officials. When things go wrong, they basically rely on fighting. Whoever has big fists will be justified, whoever can take advantage of it, and whoever can live a better life.

As for Gongyi—many villagers only recognize the strong, Gongyi will stand aside, he will not burn his cotton-padded jacket for lice, and he will rarely stand up for others.

"Mother, don't worry about this. Yanzi and I may go to live in the city in the future, and we will take you over."

"Ah? Forget it, your dad and I are old bones, so what's the point? Planting rice, sorghum, it's good to stay in the village."

My mother took out a handkerchief to wipe her nose, and then talked about how Wang Yuan was born.
