At night, it started to thunder and rain outside.
The thunder was loud.
The rain was also loud.
It's like the end of the world is coming.
Bai Sang didn't fall asleep. She opened her eyes and heard the rain pounding outside.
I shouldn't get angry with a child.
It’s raining so hard, I don’t know how the houses in Educated Youth Point are like.
Just as she was about to sit up, the mother next to her came over with a hand and patted her belly gently: "Don't be afraid, darling."
The voice was very low and he hadn't woken up yet.
It was a conditioned reflex that comforted her.
Bai Sang thought for a while but still didn't move. Even if there was a leak there, as a child, he couldn't help.
When she was getting sleepy, there was a sudden knock on the door of her home.
"Who is it in the middle of the night?"
Grandpa has already gotten up outside, his voice full of impatience.
Also, although it is only nine o'clock in the evening, when there is no electricity, everyone goes to bed early in order to avoid spending money on candles.
This sentence popped up in Bai Sang's mind.
"Hello, we are educated youths who just arrived yesterday. We have something to do..."
When Bai Sang heard what was said in front of him, he sat up reflexively.
Grandpa’s voice is also louder.
The parents around me soon woke up.
Father Bai got off the kang, put on his shoes and walked out.
When he came back, Father Bai felt a little wet and went to the old cabinet to change his clothes.
He also secretly put something in the cabinet.
Back on the kang, Bai Sang heard his father say: "The roof of the new educated youth's house leaked yesterday, and it was raining inside. He just asked us if we had anything to cover it with."
"You went to help?"
"The educated youth only had an adult and a child, and they didn't know how to do it at all. Our dad asked me to help. After I helped, I heard that you were about to give birth, so he gave me a can of milk powder. I hid it in the cabinet just now. in."
"Milk powder?" Bai Mu became excited: "This is a good thing."
Bai Sang understood why her mother was happy.
There wasn't enough milk when she was born, and she almost didn't survive. Her grandma fed her her rice soup every gulp.
This time, I was afraid that my milk supply would not be enough, so I waited at home for the delivery and did not go out to work.
Grandma gives her a few eggs to eat occasionally, which is better than when she was born.
"It's a good thing, so dad asked me to bring it back and told me not to tell anyone else."
It means don't tell other uncles and uncles.
In this era, milk powder is a good thing.
Bai Sang fell asleep after listening to it.
-
Bai Sang woke up and wanted to work in the fields.
Or mow the grass.
But while I was cutting, I heard my mother giving birth.
The aunt asked her to go back, and Bai Sang put down the sickle and ran away.
Hope it's a boy.
Although there is no sign of patriarchal preference in the Bai family, this is the way it is in this era.
My mother had been much talked about in the team because she only gave birth to her and she didn't get pregnant for the next five or six years.
Run home.
Who knew that I would meet that good-looking boy again.
When he saw Bai Sang, he hesitated to speak. He wanted to speak but dared not.
Normally Bai Sang would have struck up a conversation, but now there was no time to waste with him.
Push the person away and continue running inside.
I met grandma coming over with water.
"Why are you running? Don't be so frizzy."
"Grandma, has my mother given birth?"
"After giving birth, you will be a sister from now on, don't act like a child anymore."
A smile appeared on Bai Sang's face.
Seeing grandma's attitude, it must be a boy.
He hurriedly walked inside.
I saw my mother half-sitting on the bed holding a child.
"Mother!"
"Oh, sister is back."
