The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Guo Tuanlian looked at Li Dalang's eyes and complexion at this time, and he knew that Li Dalang knew about these things!

Yes, Li Dalang did know.

Geinzuo, when Li Dalang was about to leave home last year, on the night before his departure, Li's father and Li's mother only called Li's big family and his family to talk inside.

That night, under the dim light, Li's mother, accompanied by Li's father, told Li's elder brother and Li's sister-in-law, Li Dalang and Li Erlang in detail about Li's mother before marrying Li's father.

It turned out that Li's mother's ancestral home was in the state capital close to the border town. Because of the severe drought that year, Li's mother and her family fled to the border town for a bite to eat.

Fortunately, Mother Li's family took root in the border town and lived a peaceful life for several years.

But in the border town, there are many tribes and many small countries in the Western Regions, and wars follow.

Li's mother's father and brother were recruited one after another, and they also lost their lives on the battlefield, leaving Li's mother and widowed mother to depend on each other.

However, later on, Emperor Gaozong (Li Zhi) dispatched heavy troops and strong generals to fight for life and death, and finally won the battle, and the border town gradually began to settle down.

In the house of Li's father and Li's mother, Li's mother looked at the lantern beside her without focus, recalling what happened decades ago, "At that time, it was just settled down, and although it was considered peaceful, there were still soldiers stationed outside the city.

But at least I can go out, and several shops in the city have opened their doors.

In this way, it gradually gained a little popularity.

I had just passed the age of Jiji at that time, and there was only one widowed mother in my family, and my father and brother had died in the war long ago.

However, due to years of wars in the border towns, there are few females. Once I was over fifteen, even if there was no father and only a widowed mother in the family, many people came to ask for marriage.

At that time, my mother only hoped that I could live a good life, so she took a fancy to you Aye, Sun Datou among the many suitors. "

After all, it was an old thing decades ago, so it is not as sad as it was back then.

However, Mother Li was still a bit uncomfortable. When it came to her first son-in-law Sun Datou, Mother Li raised her head to look at Brother Li, then at Li Dalang, then stopped and sighed.

At this time, Father Li stretched out his hand and patted Mother Li, and Mother Li nodded to Father Li, and then continued to tell everyone about the past.

"The reason why my mother likes Sun Datou is that he is tall and strong. Although he is seven or eight years older than me, he has already married a wife and has a daughter, but with his appearance, he is still a guy in the army. Long, it must be enough for me to eat.

The second is that although he was a military household, Datang had won the battle at that time. Although there were still small wars outside the border town, it was still peaceful.

Besides marrying a military household and living in the city here, those rangers would not dare to provoke her, so she is safe and sound. "

Sitting opposite Li's father and Li's mother, the four members of Brother Li's family did not speak after hearing what Li's mother said, and they all understood that in such a place, survival is the first priority.

"So, A Niang, she will accept you Aye, but I will get married in March.

On that day, I also met the little girl left behind by your first wife, who was taken by her natal family.

I was young and very shy at the time, and I just kept stuffing pastries into the little girl's hands, without daring to say a word.

All I remember is that her name is Hong Niang, and there is a small cinnabar-colored mole between her eyebrows.

The border town had just emerged from the chaos of war at that time, so it was not considered prosperous. The matchmaker only stayed with me at home for less than ten days before being taken away by her natal family.

The matchmaker's natal family is a merchant, and they live in other state capitals for a long time. There is just a shop in the border town. "

Hearing this, Li Erlang was puzzled, always feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't ask directly.

Li's mother naturally saw Li Erlang's appearance, she paused for a while and then said to Brother Li: "I also thought about why a woman from a businessman can marry you, Aye?
I also asked, and only then did I know that when you, A Weng, were still alive, you were the brigade commander in the army. Because of this status, the matchmaker's family married their daughter to you, Aye.

Who would have thought that you Aunt died on the battlefield later, but at that time there was already a matchmaker.

However, you guys are amazing, you can support your wife and daughter well even if you are a gang leader, but the matchmaker's mother is not healthy, she is sick, in a border town like this, where can there be any good medicine?
I've been ill for a long time, but I couldn't survive the winter, so I left the matchmaker. "

Mrs. Li and Brother Li looked at each other, and what Brother Li thought was: "I have a half-sister?"

What Mrs. Li thought was: "I wonder if this aunt is still alive?"

Mother Li took the cup that Father Li handed over, took two sips, put it down, and continued to say to everyone: "I told you about the rest earlier.

Later, when I became pregnant, I thought I could give birth to a child smoothly and live this day in peace.

Unexpectedly, the war broke out again, and you Aye were called back to the barracks that night.

I have a bad feeling right now, but there is nothing I can do as a woman at such a time.

Counting the days, even Sheng Dalang was the aunt next door who brought her little grandson to boil hot water for me.

But when I was confinement, you Aye only asked someone to come back with a message and money, but he didn't come back.

I didn't meet you Aye for the first time until you were half a year old. "

Brother Li tried his best to think back, but he couldn't remember his memories of six months ago. He was really too young at that time to remember anything.

"So, you, Aye, can come home once every two months, and when you were one year old, your elder sister's natal family brought a congratulatory gift.

But the good times didn't last long, and the war broke out again when you were one and a half years old.

What I feared the most happened. You Aye died on the battlefield, and his comrades brought back his body.

I carried you on my back and used the only money in the family to organize the funeral.

To make matters worse, my aunt also went after a month or so. "

Thinking of this, Mother Li couldn't bear it any longer, and began to sob and cry.

Father Li took out his handkerchief and stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold Mother Li's hand, and after a while, Mother Li regained her composure.

Wiping away the tears on her face, Mother Li looked at Brother Li and the others who looked at her worriedly: "It's okay, A Niang just thinks about it and feels a little uncomfortable.

These things should have been told to you a long time ago, but I always think that we will live in Chang'an and live in peace, there is really no need for you to bear these things.

But this time Hutou is going to the border town, I thought about it and let you know.

In case, it is possible to meet a matchmaker when you get there. "

Brother Li nodded. He understood that the main purpose of Mother Li calling them here tonight was to let them know about the old affairs of his house, mainly to let Li Dalang know. It is a stranger, it is a relative.

I chatted with my friend on WeChat today and listened to her talk about her married life. During the two-hour call, I was deeply impressed by one of her words.

She said: "In the past five years, I was on the verge of death three times in order to have children, and I gave birth to my son desperately.

In the past five years, I have invested more than 20 yuan, including the tens of thousands of yuan I saved before marriage.

In these five years of married life, I have gained nothing, neither money nor love, only a centipede scar on my stomach, a pocket-like breast and a painful waist. "

After hearing her words, I was really sad.

I think of the girl who had light in her eyes back then, but her eyes no longer have light.
