Zhao Lanxiang picked up two perilla plums to eat,
It was strange to say..,
She had always been against things like perilla. She couldn't touch it at all.
But she could eat the plums that had the smell of perilla. The surface of the plums was covered with a layer of frost that had been marinated for a long time,
It was soft in the mouth,
It was sour and sweet,
The flesh was full,
Refreshing, and it was very easy to eat.
Her gaze fell on He Songbai's face that had turned dark,
His thin lips were so dry that a layer of skin had appeared,
Beads of sweat kept flowing down from his head. During this period of time, he had always left early and returned late,
Zhao Lanxiang thought that he had gone to see the pig farm, but when she saw the perilla plum in his hand today, Zhao Lanxiang finally understood.
That morning, when she found out that she couldn't eat the perilla plum, he saw her disappointed expression,
But he was not indifferent.
Zhao Lanxiang had a complicated feeling in her heart. She felt that he was both silly and naive,
And her cheeks were hot with shame.
She touched the cold plums in the vat,
Her heart was warm and shy.
"Brouther Bo, thank you."
"There's no need to thank me."
He Songbai quickly scooped a bowl of porridge for his wife and asked her to eat the porridge with the plums,
"Try it,
Do you have the appetite to eat? "
She nodded.
He Songbai's nervous gaze was fixed on his wife,
He watched her eat a mouthful of plums and drink a mouthful of porridge,
Although she ate a little slowly, she didn't vomit when she ate to the bottom. He was overjoyed.
"In the future, I'll bring it to eat every meal. I heard that this has been marinated for a long time. It tastes quite good."
As He Song Bai spoke, he also dug one to eat. It was sour, sweet, and salty. The sourness had already been neutralized, becoming soft and lingering. The sweetness of the honey was light and fresh. It only added a bit of base flavor and didn't overwhelm the main flavor.
He saw Zhao Lanxiang smile. Her pink lips were pursed and she sucked off the white rice grains on the side of the spoon. Her red lips formed a sharp contrast with the plain porridge. After she was done, she stuck out her soft tongue and licked the porridge. He Songbai's throat was filled with smoke.
Zhao Lanxiang saw that his lips were dry and cracked. He pushed the second bowl of porridge aside and said, "Drink some porridge to quench your thirst."
"No need."
He moved behind her and leaned in to kiss her moist lips deeply.
Drinking from her mouth to quench his thirst.
Her lips, which had just finished the porridge, were icy cold. There was a hint of the sweetness of the perilla plum in her mouth. It was like a clear and sweet spring water, extinguishing his thirst. However, it also ignited his fire.
It was noon, and the sound of rapid breathing could be heard from the room that was filled with sunlight.
He Songbai cupped her increasingly plump breasts with his large palms and his Adam's apple bobbed. "Lanxiang, you've gotten fatter here."
It was plump and soft, and the snowy white that seeped out from between his fingers felt like he could crush it.
Zhao Lanxiang blocked his annoying mouth. She looked sideways and pinched the tendons on his waist. Then she touched the hard muscles on his abdomen and was instantly filled with jealousy. Her figure had long been out of shape because of her pregnancy, but he was growing stronger and stronger. He had been eating and drinking well in the countryside for the past few months, and he had made up for all the weight that he had lost from studying hard in school. He was bursting with masculinity.
She angrily stripped He Songbai naked.
He Songbai was immersed in bliss when his elder sister came to look for him.
"Brouther Bo, are you there?" Sister He knocked on the door.
Zhao Lanxiang's fair face was already pink. Her face was red and her heart was beating fast. However, her voice was very calm. "Brouther Bo went out. He might be back at night."
"I see —" Sister's footsteps gradually disappeared.
He Songbai suddenly groaned. He was on the verge of being crushed in pain and pleasure.
… …
After a round of lovemaking, it was almost dusk.
Although He Song Bai's skin was thick and dark, at this moment, it was all red. Just like those years when he was dating, he stammered and slipped out of the room with a guilty conscience. Like a thief, he fetched a bucket of water and conveniently took out his partner's empty bowl to wash.
"I'm fetching some water to boil for Lanxiang to take a bath." He secretly said to Sister He, who was washing clothes by the well.
When he came back to fetch the second bucket, Sister He asked him, "Where did you go? When I looked for Lanxiang, she said you weren't here."
He Songbai buried his head and washed the dishes vigorously. "I went out to look for plums for Lanxiang. Sister, what's the matter?"
"Granny said that you should prepare early and send Lanxiang to the hospital to wait for delivery."
"Isn't it a little early?"
After all, the baby was only eight months old. He Songbai scratched his head. His wife's belly appeared in front of his eyes. Although it was only eight months old, it already looked quite big. She vomited so much, but she was still able to raise the baby like this. Many times, He Songbai felt very guilty when he saw it.
Sister He glanced at her brother. "It's always good to prepare early."
He Songbai nodded. "I'll prepare."
Going to the hospital meant that the occasional benefits like today would be gone. His pregnant wife's enthusiasm made He Songbai feel as if he had a second spring. It nourished his whole body and made his every pore feel clear and comfortable.
But for the sake of the baby, He Songbai accepted Granny's opinion. He returned to the room and tidied up her clothes. When he turned his head, he could still see her red cheeks and sweet sleeping appearance.
He had already wiped away all the sweat and stains on her body. At this moment, she was sleeping refreshingly.
Pregnant, her skin had become more soft and fair, as white as a cabbage in the field. It was as if water would come out if he gently pinched it. He covered her with a cool summer blanket and kissed her tired body.
…
Zhao Lanxiang originally planned to go to the hospital after nine months, but she couldn't win against He Songbai and went to the hospital half a month earlier to wait for delivery.
He was very "rich and generous" and bought a double room for his wife. The normal beds in the hospital were eight or even ten people. On hot days, there were a few fans around, which could make pregnant women sweat.
He Songbai opened the ice cubes he bought and iced the mango for her. The melting ice cubes emitted a cool air that refreshed the heart.
"I know you've suffered. Can you bear with it for another month?"
Zhao Lanxiang wiped away the hot sweat and ate a few pieces of mango. "It's okay. I can bear it. But it's really hot in the city. The wind in the valley is cooler. "
He Songbai broke the ice he bought into small pieces and put them in a hot-water bag for winter. He pressed it against her cheek. "Do you feel cooler?"
The pregnant woman on the bed next to them was envious when she saw this man serving his wife without any complaints.
She was also sweating from the heat. She also wanted to eat iced fruit, but she could only bask in the cool air of the ice cubes.
Zhao Lanxiang asked He Songbai to give the remaining mango to the pregnant woman on the bed next to them.
She smiled and said, "Eat some fruit to cool down. When are you going to give birth?"
The woman on the bed next to her replied, "In late August, on the 25th."
Zhao Lanxiang was extremely envious when she heard this. She said, "Mine is still in September. It's too early. It's suffering. It's better to give birth early … My pregnancy is very naughty. The fetal movement tortures me all day. "
The woman on the bed next to hers smiled. "It's always like this."
"You'll give birth later. The weather will be cold, and it'll be more comfortable during your confinement."
Zhao Lanxiang pursed her lips and smiled. Although it was a complaint, it was also mixed with her joy. Because of He Song Bai's meticulous service, she calmed down her irritable mood during pregnancy.
She placed her hand on her round belly and felt Tang Tang's existence more and more strongly every day. Even if it was painful, it made her feel pain and happy.
During the period when she was pregnant in the countryside, although the days were ordinary, they were peaceful and there were almost no twists and turns. The only torment was that her morning sickness was too severe, but in the end, it was resolved by the plums He Songbai bought.
This was also the first time she was so sure that her child would be born safely.
The woman on the bed next to hers kindly reminded her, "Walk more before you give birth to strengthen your body. When the time comes, the birth will be smoother."
"Your belly looks quite big …"
Zhao Lanxiang also knew that her belly was big. It was like a balloon that had been blown up, and it was swelling day by day. In the past, she was afraid that she would not have enough nutrition, so she forced herself to eat. Now that she could finally eat properly, she could not help but eat more.
He Songbai saw his wife's worried gaze and coughed lightly. "Granny has calculated everything you eat."
"She has read a lot of professional books. You eat very scientifically. Don't worry."
In late September.
The pregnant woman on the bed next to hers was a week late. She became anxious and uneasy and often sobbed in the middle of the night.
Even Zhao Lanxiang became nervous. In the middle of the night, she subconsciously touched her body and felt that it was wet.
Her nervous voice seemed to contain water vapor. It was wet and moist. "Brouther Bo …"
He Songbai's ears were tortured by the pregnant woman on the bed next to him every night. He was already considering whether to transfer to another ward to calm his wife down.
Zhao Lanxiang called out again. "Brouther Bo …"
This time, there was a hint of fear in her voice.
"My water seems to have broken."
This sentence was like a bomb in deep water. He Songbai, who was still in his sleep, quivered and quickly jumped up.
He turned on the light, glanced at her pants, and quickly rang the hospital bell. After waiting for a while, the nurse on duty did not come. He supported her with his arms and walked quickly and steadily to the delivery room.
"Don't be afraid — Ah?"
"Calm down. Do you hear me? Don't waste too much energy. Eat something first so that you can give birth properly. "
He placed his wife on the bed in the delivery room. His hands were shaking and his legs were weak. He quickly made her a cup of milk and fed it to her.
After thinking for a long time, he hurried back to the ward and took out a bag of things.
Zhao Lanxiang opened her eyes and saw a row of chocolates.
"Hurry up and eat more."
Before Zhao Lanxiang could finish half a row of chocolates, the doctor chased He Songbai out.
She started very quickly, and the pain came in waves like a tide. She bit her lips so hard that she didn't cry out in pain.
However, the broken sounds that came out of her lips and the sound of sobbing were heard by He Songbai outside the delivery room.
After he sent Zhao Lanxiang to the ward, he stood alone in the corridor and did not hear any news from inside. The night was silent. Every minute and every second, the slight movement of the watch could be heard clearly. He Songbai suffered as if each day was a year.
He looked at the watch on his wrist. It was already five o 'clock in the morning.
Outside the corridor, the dark night gradually dissipated and was pierced by the weak morning light.
During this long waiting time, he remembered that she also stepped on such a weak light and carried the mung bean cake on her back. She said to him crisply, "I will only be disciplined by my family all my life. My father, my mother, my grandparents. Who are you … to control me, hmm?"
Later, she became his wife and did everything according to him.
Later, she became his partner. One day, she also stepped on the same weak light and went to the slaughtering pig farm to look for him. She looked at him from afar with tears in her eyes.
She said that she didn't mind him. No matter how dirty and smelly he was, he was still her man.
Hmm, later, she really became his woman. She didn't mind that he was poor or shabby.
The morning light became stronger and stronger. The white light dispelled the night. She faced the morning light and sang in his ear, "I am willing to go against the current to find her trace."
He Songbai seemed to have heard the song at this time.
A loud baby cry sounded. After a while, the door of the delivery room opened.
The doctor took off his mask. His tired eyes couldn't hide his joy. He said, "It's a girl."
He Songbai was overjoyed. All the memories in his mind suddenly stopped. His eyes were full of her lying in the delivery room and working hard to give birth.
"Wait — doctor, there seems to be another one!" The nurse in the delivery room shouted in horror.
However, the woman was exhausted after giving birth to a child. She seemed to have fallen asleep with satisfaction.
The smile on He Songbai's face suddenly froze. He walked forward quickly and patted Zhao Lanxiang's face hard. "Lanxiang, wake up. Wake up —"
Zhao Lanxiang had given birth for the whole night. She was in so much pain that she had lost consciousness.
She opened her eyes again and forced a smile. "There seems to be another one."
Her voice was trembling.
The head of the first child was too big. Her amniotic fluid was almost dry, but she still refused to come out. It was the doctor who sucked her out.
She vaguely knew that there was a baby in her stomach because it was moving and kicking her. She worked hard for the whole morning.
He Songbai's hands were stained with the blood from her body. He kept muttering, "Don't be afraid. Hold on. I'll be here with you."
"Lanxiang, be brave."
"This is the sea, our sea. You have to work hard to give birth to him."
The watch on He Song Bai's wrist had already pointed to 6 o 'clock in the afternoon. The warm light of the setting sun seeped through the window.
In the same sunset, she stared at the kapok he gave her with a smile and tears under the brilliant clouds. The fiery red petals seemed to flow from her body.
Tang Tang was cleaned up by the nurse. Because there was no milk to drink, she was so hungry that she whimpered. He Songbai couldn't spare any attention to care about her.
He took out all the money on him and knelt down to beg the nurse to give her some milk to drink. The nurse sighed pitifully and shook her head. She hugged the crying baby and turned to look for her rations.
He Songbai held his wife's hand tightly. He shed tears. A man couldn't help but cry in the delivery room.
"Lanxiang, use more strength."
"Eat some chocolate, okay?"
… …
In her daze, Zhao Lanxiang seemed to see an old man sitting in a wheelchair in his twilight years. She lowered her head and rested it on his lap. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her hair.
He smiled and encouraged her. "Lanxiang, do your best."
He was the man who had waited for her at every street corner with the freshest flowers. The man who prepared the most appropriate clothes for her every morning, took her hand for a walk in the evening, and watched the sunset. She was no longer young, but her elegance did not diminish.
Under the oak tree, the old man in the wheelchair helped her up. He said seriously, "No matter where you go or where you are, I hope you will be brave and strong."
"I … love you the most," he murmured softly.
Zhao Lanxiang looked up from his lap in a daze.
"Go, go back to his side."
Zhao Lanxiang opened her eyes. He Songbai's hot tears splashed on her hand.
It was gentle, as if it was warm rain.
Her thumb suddenly trembled. "Da, Hai Hai …"
"Wake up, wake up. Don't talk. Focus on using strength."
She used all her strength. She felt a pain in her lower abdomen, and a lump of wet and hot stuff slid out from under her body.
