Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Life always gives people despair, and then we look for hope in a life of despair.

When we see the truth of life clearly, sometimes we always feel that living is boring.

For example, the levels between people, the shortness of happiness, the uncertainty of suffering...

There is also a repetitive life day after day. If we can't find a little joy, we really can't survive.

It is said that desire is released from hell, but if people did not have this, the world today would probably still be in the primitive era.

The continuation of life is also a kind of desire.

Xu Damao collapsed in the corridor, with tears streaming down his face. The nurses who came out holding the baby were surprised by the parent's rich emotions.

Although the nurse was surprised, she still walked up to Xu Damao with the child in her arms and said, "Lou Xiao'e's family, mother and child are safe! Six pounds and seven taels."

After the nurse finished speaking, she waited for Xu Damao to pick her up. But at this time, Xu Damao tried his best to get up, but he only moved a few times, and every time he moved, he felt deep pain.

Even so, Xu Damao still stood up halfway, spread his legs, leaned against the wall with his back.

Xu Damao stretched out his hands and took the child from the nurse. The nurse, Xu's mother, and Lou Tan were all instructing Xu Damao on how to hold it.

The nurse looked like a eldest lady in her thirties, with a familiar personality. Seeing Xu Damao like this, she asked if he was flashing his waist?

After getting Xu Damao's affirmative reply, Xu Damao was asked to take the time to go to the orthopedics department to straighten the lower bones.

Xu Damao thanked the nurse first. There are no red envelopes or anything these days, so it saves him embarrassment.

Xu Damao looked down at the baby he was holding in his hands. At first glance, he felt that it was ugly. The skin was wrinkled and there were some yellowish-brown things on the cheeks and forehead.

Because Lou Xiao'e has never lacked food and drink, the child is growing well.

The current six kilograms and seven taels is six kilograms and seven taels. The hospital should have switched to the one kilogram and ten taels system. It's not like when Xu Damao goes to the vegetable market, sometimes he has to do the math in his mind when he encounters someone who weighs sixteen or two.

It doesn't matter if you buy more, but if you buy less, it will be very embarrassing if you don't know how to convert it.

For example, Xu Damao once went to Pigeon Market to buy meat. He originally asked for three taels of pork. But if converted into sixteen liang, it should be four liang and eight. The butcher was an honest man. Xu Damao asked for three ounces, so he cut off a little more than three ounces for him.

When Xu Damao weighed it in his hand, he felt like he had met a black-hearted merchant. I didn't dare to say anything at that time. Who dares to do this kind of business in the pigeon market? Who is a simple person?

But when the merchant collected money, Xu Damao was confused again, and the money received was less.

Xu Damao has made a lot of jokes like this.

This is related to the fact that in 1959, the scale system was changed from sixteen taels per catty to ten taels per catty.

Public places such as grain stations now use twelve scales. And in places like Pigeon Market, most of them are still sixteen taels.

If you don't know how to convert, it's normal to either make a joke or get into trouble.

The sixteen-liang scale is an interesting topic. There are sixteen little stars per pound, thirteen of which represent the Southern Dipper and the Big Dipper, and the last three little stars represent fortune, wealth and longevity.

So at that time, Qujinshaoliang was really a risky job, with little blessing, little fortune, and little longevity. This kind of thing was something that even the people in Guanxi would not dare to do in those years when belief in ghosts and gods was widespread.

Unlike later generations, one pound is the norm, especially in fruits, restaurants, and seafood markets.

Xu Damao held his son in his arms and stood there in the posture of supporting the wall, holding his six-pound son in both hands.

The two mothers nearby were also so happy that they just stood around and looked at their grandchildren, but no one paid attention to Xu Damao's face now.

Xu Damao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Mom, please hold your grandson for me, your son's waist is about to break."

As soon as these words came out, Xu's mother seemed to notice that there was a son next to her. The son even ducked, and she hurriedly took her eldest grandson from her son's hand, and said a few words of concern to Xu Damao.

It was just a few words, and she carried the child and walked to the other side to admire the child's peerless appearance with her biological mother.

Therefore, Xu Damao is unimportant at this time and does not need to exist.

Xu Damao took a breath and finally stood up against the wall. That is to say, I took a breath and calmed down, and it was not so painful.

Lou Xiao'e hasn't come out yet, so she is probably still cleaning up inside.

So now Xu Damao is not completely relieved. They say that a woman giving birth is like going through hell. Xu Damao felt it completely just now.

Fortunately, for example, in Forty-Nine City, since the public-private partnership began, most working-class families have chosen to come to the hospital to give birth.

For example, in the early years, we basically asked Wenma to deliver babies at home. If this thing encounters an abnormal fetal position or postpartum hemorrhage, it will be too late to save her even if she wants to.

It was all thanks to Wenpo's skills and the mother's physical condition that she survived every birth, so it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that she was on the verge of death.

Even if the hospital delivers the baby at this time, it will be difficult to rescue if there is postpartum hemorrhage or something.

After all, it was all suffering. After all, Lou Xiaoe had a near miss.

So it is normal for two mothers not to care about Xu Damao, who is showing off his waist. No matter how painful it is, can it be more painful than Lou Xiao'e's childbirth?

When Lou Xiao'e finished cleaning up and was pushed out, the moment he saw Lou Xiao'e's pale face, Xu Damao secretly decided to erase all the bad things in the past for her.

Xu Damao stretched out his hand to hold Lou Xiao'e's little hand that was scattered outside the quilt. It was fleshy, but moist and cold. One can imagine how much his wife had suffered just to give birth to a child.

Xu Damao called softly: "Xiao'e, Xiao'e."

Lou Xiao'e heard the call and opened her eyes despite being tired.

Lou Xiao'e glanced around, and Xu Damao had a clear understanding. He shouted to Xu's mother who was standing next to her holding the child: "Mom, bring the child over and show it to Xiao'e."

Xu's mother placed the child next to Lou Xiao'e, and after just one glance, she frowned and said, "It's so ugly."

Xu's mother smiled and said: "This child is so beautiful and strong. It's not like when Damao was a child, he was as thin as a monkey and very dark. When I saw Damao, I wanted to throw him away. ”

Lou Xiao'e was amused by Xu's mother's words, but her smile caused the pain of her wound.

Lou Tan, who was beside her, held her daughter's other hand sadly. She was naturally happy when her daughter gave birth to a grandson. But seeing her daughter looking like this, Lou Tan couldn't help but laugh.

Lou Xiao'e felt Lou Tan's concern, turned to Lou Tan and said, "Mom, I'm a mother too."

One sentence made Lou Tan burst into tears.

This thing definitely can't be blocked at the door of the delivery room to perform a painful scene. This is because the doctors and nurses saw that Lou Tan was not dressed like ordinary people. Otherwise, the Xu family would have been urged to leave.

After being sent to the ward, Lou Tan walked out. After a while, Mrs. Lou Tan walked in again and said to Xu Damao: "I just went to say hello. No one else will be allowed to come in the ward these days."

Xu Damao nodded, and then he remembered to ask Lou Xiao'e what she wanted to eat.

Of course, there are many options to choose from, but there is nothing to choose from. At this time, the main thing is to breastfeed.

Xu's mother left in a hurry.

The next days will naturally be busy.

Xu Damao, a new baby daddy, tried all kinds of things. Hold the baby, prepare milk powder, and wash the urine cocoon.

Fortunately, Xu's mother, who is good at taking care of people, is here to help. It is always much better than other families.

After staying in the hospital for two days, Lou Xiaoe was discharged. According to the doctor, he will be observed for one day and then he can be discharged if everything is fine.

Hearing this, Xu Damao was confused again. She was still that warm-hearted nurse, and when she saw Xu Damao's expression, she looked like that. The nurse said with a smile that some women were sent to the hospital for dystocia and were discharged after giving birth. Not to mention a day or two, I wouldn't want to stay for even a minute.

The nurse said to Lou Xiao'e again: "You man really knows how to care for people."

……

Lou Xiao'e's only regret was that Lou Bancheng didn't come to see her.

This made Lou Xiao'e feel a knot in her heart.

Like the Lou Tan family, even after Lou Xiao'e returned to the courtyard, she changed into ordinary people's clothes and followed Xu's mother to visit her several times.

But Lou Bancheng seemed not to know about this. Even if I didn't come to see him in the yard, even if I was in the hospital, I didn't take the time to come over and take a look.

Lou Tan said that Lou Bancheng was busy, but only the Lou family knew whether he was busy or not.

Human minds are very complex, and no one knows what others are thinking.

For example, after Shazhu's wife and Yuyu came over to visit, Wang Fang just touched her belly and sighed when she returned home.

Wang Fang said: "That Lou Xiao'e is so lucky, she married a few months earlier than me. Now we have sons, but I don't have any reaction at all."

Yu Yu's relationship with Wang Fang is really good now. When he saw this, he quickly comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the child will come when it's time to come."

As for the other neighbors in the yard, all kinds of eggs were naturally flying. There’s nothing else like nutritional supplements these days! Even eggs are something that every household is reluctant to eat.

It's really like Yan Bugui, bringing two one-finger-long fish he caught as a gift, which would make people laugh.

This was unavoidable. Even if the deaf old lady came to visit, Xu Damao would not be able to kick her out.

He could only fight with the snake's tail. As soon as the deaf old lady left, Xu Damao asked his mother to send back the two eggs that the deaf old lady had brought.

Xu Damao was embarrassed to say some things, but Xu's mother did not shy away from them. He directly told the deaf old lady that the two families were not familiar with each other and that they should not interact with each other if nothing happened in the future.

As soon as Xu's mother left, the deaf old lady's sullen face turned gloomy. She just entered the Xu family and saw that the Xu family has a lot of wealth. There are several cans of milk powder on the table alone.

Milk powder is a good thing these days. Most ordinary people can't get even one jar, but the Xu family has several jars.

I originally thought that if the Xu family accepted her kindness this time, they would repair it a few more times. As time goes by, Xu Damao will never be able to stay at home every day. When the time comes, Lou Xiao'e will fool around a bit and go to Xu's house for a meal. It will not be a trivial matter.

But she didn't expect that Xu Damao didn't show any courtesy at all and told her directly that he would not have any contact with her.

This is one thing that makes the deaf old lady very numb.
