Bai Fumei in the 70’s

He Songbai did not say anything, just smiled, he said to the old grandmother: "Relax, our days will get better."

"The country has given us hope that as long as you work hard, there is always a chance to stand out. Granny just waits for the blessing."

Grandma Li remembered that many years ago, the skinny young man ran to her bed and asked her for permission to do business.

He told her: "No one will get tired of a good life, and a long life will make people lose hope."

Grandma Li looked at the bustling and prosperous in front of her eyes, and the fire at the stove crackled all the time, symbolizing the endless fire. He did not disappoint her, all the promises he had made were fulfilled one by one.

She smiled and said to her grandchildren: "Okay, Granny is waiting for happiness."

"Still waiting for my great-grandson."

He Songbai heard that his ears were red again.

He coughed softly and looked around to find his wife. She is pregnant, and she has to be cautious in the first three months. She can't drink, get cold or get tired. Soon he found Zhao Lanxiang who was entertaining guests in the crowd.

"Go sit and have a rest?" He Songbai said.

Zhao Lanxiang entertained a group of educated youths who used to be in the countryside. They coaxed the couple to drink alcohol or drink a glass of wine.

He Songbai drank without hesitation, but did not drink a glass of wine. He said with a smile: "Everyone is rushing towards me today, don't embarrass my mother-in-law."

Everyone laughed again, and filled He Songbai with a bottle of wine. They all still remember that when He Songye got married many years ago, He Songbai drank all their gangs.

Although He Songbai did not wear the groom's official clothes, he also wore a decent tunic suit with a small flower on his chest, which looked energetic. Zhao Lanxiang also went to the countryside to follow the custom. Instead of wearing a pearly red wedding dress, she wore a red gown, which was not much different from the bride married in the country.

It's just that the red flower gown she casually wears, paired with the bright and clear eyes, has the beautiful beauty that is rushing towards the face, the skin that is white enough to pinch out the water, and the sun shines as if it will shine. The scholar's temperament, confidence and elegance, eye-catching.

The people who had eaten the wedding banquet said that the daughter-in-law of the He family was the most handsome in Shili Baxiang.

Although there are also several people who are embarrassed by the new wife, Li Dali and the Li family's big cows, big horses and big dogs stand up and block them all like a solid wall. Zhao Lanxiang looked at them gratefully and hurried back to the house to rest.

The wedding banquet was arranged from morning to night. In the middle of the day, He Songbai came back and drank a few times to hang out the soup, rubbing her legs.

There was a strong smell of wine spraying in his breath, which caused Zhao Lanxiang to feel distressed.

"Drink less."

He Songbai shook his head, and the whole person was lying on the bed. He looked up and satisfied: "I am very happy today."

His wife wiped his face with a hot towel, and He Songbai rubbed it like a child, and whispered, "I didn't dare to talk to you before because I was afraid of being laughed at by others."

"We can only covertly cover up our own conversations, and even family members dare not tell. At that time, how much I wanted others to know that I was talking to such a good woman, but I could only hold it in my heart."

"After you left in seven or eight years, some people said that I would like to eat swan meat."

He Songbai showed his teeth, and his handsome face ridiculed himself, "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't the toads eat swan meat now? I have to let them all see."

"Do not bully the young and poor..."

Zhao Lanxiang couldn’t help laughing when he compared himself to toad. She threw the towel aside and leaned over to lean into his ear and said, “The swan meat is actively brought into your mouth for you to eat.”

"Do you like it or not?"

He Songbai was thirsty in his throat, smoking like a cigarette.

The swan flicked his lips on his own initiative, and a scent of sweet and sweet kisses drowned him.

...

He Songbai quickly took a telegram and told the good news to his father-in-law. Zhao Yongqing, who had received the news of her daughter's pregnancy just after the Chinese New Year, felt like a roller coaster in her heart. She was happy and angry, and returned to the telegram to let the young couple come back early.

After three months, the couple went to the hospital to take a photo of b-ultrasound to see the baby's gender.

Sure enough, it was Tang Tang.

After He Songbai was informed by the doctor, he was all stunned, and a great ecstasy came to his heart.

If he has a white and tender daughter, she will look like her mother, coquettish and cute, sweet voice, so that no one can be too late. He will definitely braid her beautiful braids every day, personally choose her beautiful little skirts, and develop her into a girl as beautiful as her mother.

The doctor thought that the young man in front of him was again patriarchal, and he persuaded him: "Girls are also very good."

"The thought of favoring men over women must be."

He Songbai pulled out from the joy of being immersed in Tang Tang. He nodded in excitement and took out the wedding candy that had been prepared for the doctor to eat.

"Yeah, yeah, girly treasure."

"It's my dad's cotton-padded jacket!"

In two sentences, he choked the doctor's "abortion is not good for his health" into his throat. The doctor was stuffed with a bag of wedding candy, and his scornful expression gradually turned into stunned.

He Songbai walked out of the examination room happily, and said to his wife with a loud voice, "It is Tang Tang's right, I will say it is a girl."

"It's intimate not to toss you for so long after being pregnant."

Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help but laugh, her palms covering her stomach, she was also very happy.

He Songbai is not patriarchal, because his respected grandmother is very tough, even women can carry a heavy burden, and girls can be impressive.

Zhao Lanxiang is also not picky about the gender of her children, her thoughts are also closer to later generations, and there is no more precious concept of boys. As long as there is a child, it is a gift from above, neither men nor women matter.

But they all looked forward to the birth of a coquettish daughter, sweet and soft.

He Songbai turned over the test results and said: "The doctor said that your nutrition is not enough, prescribed some folic acid for you, and told me to let you eat more meals."

After returning home, he told his grandmother about these doctors' orders. The grandmother asked him to kill a chicken stew every week and drink it to his wife.

Because it was spring, the people on the brigade began to go to the market to buy chickens and ducks for feeding. He Songbai thought about it and made a big deal for the pig farm, surrounded the hill next to the pig farm and built it. Off the chicken farm. He bought 3,000 chickens and found experienced farmers to start chicken farming.

Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help crying and laughing, "Brother Ge is really lavish."

"But when the chickens are raised, Tang Tang should also be born. I haven't been lucky enough to eat..."

He Songbai grabbed a few adult hens and came back the next day. He wrapped corn flakes in his hands and fed the chickens. He calmly said to his wife: "The chickens on the chicken farm are reserved for others to eat.

So the next day, Zhao Lanxiang was tired of drinking chicken soup.

Three days into the day, the belly bulged like a ball. Years later, He Songbai obediently took his wife back to the city of G, and he was beaten up by his father-in-law.

However, Feng Lian was very happy. She suggested that her daughter take a year off to prepare for pregnancy. Zhao Lanxiang agreed after careful consideration. The most craving of her two lives was to have a healthy child and take good care of it. The nightmare of two miscarriages made her dared not to take it lightly, and Zhao Lanxiang quickly laid out the suspension report and submitted it.

It's just a pity that He Songbai couldn't accompany her to wait for delivery, so she had to go back to school honestly after school.

When the grandmother learned that her grandson was going to finish school, the granddaughter-in-law was waiting at home for delivery, afraid that she would not be taken care of, so she sent a telegram to persuade Zhao Lanxiang to return to the countryside.

She said in the telegram: "The countryside has beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers, which makes people look in a good mood. There are still people in the family who take care of it and look forward to returning."

Zhao Yongqing is struggling to start a business. His prosperous development still has to take care of her daughter's industry. Feng Lian's schoolwork is heavy, and she can't take care of her daughter. The couple sent the daughter back to the country as soon as they combined.

He Songbai returned to Hezitun with his wife, taking advantage of the days when he was not in school to stew her bone soup to drink for her.

He said guiltily: "Lanxiang, sorry. I will be back soon..."

Zhao Lanxiang said: "I have a big sister at home to take care of you. You can study with peace of mind and don't think so much."

He Songbai leaned down to apologize against her raised belly, "Tang Tang, Dad will be back soon."

Zhao Lanxiang looked at the figure of the man whose luggage was gradually disappearing, and his tears did not fall.

I have survived all the hardships, but I just want to cry at this time.

She held back her tears and turned back to the house to chat with her.

...

Five months old, and the days have entered the summer, Zhao Lanxiang's stomach has begun to take shape.

When she meets her mouth, she will ask the elder sister to buy the ingredients back. She will be more self-reliant and cook to satisfy herself. Her mouth is more and more picky, but the people are becoming more rounded. When looking in the mirror, the slim figure of the past had disappeared, and the waist looked like a ball. Fortunately, she has a good attitude and is not surprised. She still strives to eat and raise Tang Tang in her belly very well.

But in the middle of the night, her legs and legs started to cramp, and she would complain about the disappearance of He Songbai, and she was increasingly dissatisfied.

One night, she numb her legs, and after a few hard rubbing, she felt comfortable, and her tears rolled down without even realizing her.

She buried her face by the pillow, as if He Songbai was sleeping beside her.

Soon, a sound of the footsteps of Zuo Suo Suo sounded late at night, and a dark shadow quietly sneaked into her room.

Zhao Lanxiang was so shocked that her tears were all in her eyes, not even spinning, and her deep fear filled her heart.

Suddenly the light was turned on, and the person came to see her tears all over her face, shocked and guilty: "Lanxiang, why are you crying."

He carried a sweaty smell, and he did not notice that he was terrified by his wife.

He wiped the tears on her face awkwardly and apologized constantly.

"Sorry, don't cry."

"I can stay at home to live with you, and I won't leave."

Suddenly, he came to his knees and knelt in front of her, wishing to slap himself in the face, "Did I just scare you?"

"The next time I walk, I make a noise. I'm afraid I will wake you up, so I didn't squeak."

"I didn't even have the last train I took at night. I took someone's car and went back to the country. I think you will see me at first sight when you wake up tomorrow... Xiangxiang is sorry."
