Hearing the shouts, the captain was startled, fearing that someone might actually die.
He had no choice but to take Zhang Guihua with him to the cowshed, and had his son call over a few elderly people.
This includes Li Xiangyun.
The shouting woke up the big black bear in the yard. Huo Junshan opened his eyes and thought the bear had come down the mountain again.
Yun Ningyan was also pleasantly surprised. It had been a long time since she had seen such a spectacle. She said, "Huo Junshan, I want to go see what's going on! Take me with you!"
Huo Junshan got up and dressed, wrapped Yun Ningyan in a military overcoat, and the two went toward the sound of people talking.
This is the direction of the cowshed.
Judging from the sound, it seems that Song Pandi is about to give birth.
The two quickened their pace.
There were a few people in the cowshed holding kerosene lamps, shining them inside.
Song Pandi's painful cries could be heard from time to time.
Someone exclaimed, "Push! It's almost out!"
Huo Junshan didn't want to go over the embarrassing situation of childbirth, but Yun Ningyan pulled him to watch from under a tree not far away.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Pandi's shrill screams echoed throughout the entire village.
"The baby's out! The baby's out! Quick, cut the umbilical cord! Quick, cut it!"
A faint cry rang out, but Yun Ningyan barely heard it. It was someone inside who said, "She's crying! She's crying!"
The crowd slowly dispersed, and someone shook their head: "She's just a girl. Song Zhiqing is probably going to suffer now! That Ma Daniu will torment her to death. She deserves her bad luck!"
Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan walked home together and ran into Li Xiangyun and Huo Changgen.
Li Xiangyun smiled and said, "You two came out too? Ningning wasn't scared, was she?"
Yun Ningyan shook her head: "I didn't even go in to look, I just stood outside for a while!"
Li Xiangyun laughed and said, "It's a girl. That old hag Ma Daniu will probably torment Song Pandi even more now!"
The four of them walked home.
The commotion also woke up the people at the educated youth settlement.
However, when they heard that it was Song Pandi who was giving birth, none of them went over.
Song Pandi was very weak after giving birth. Her wound would hurt if she moved it. Aunt Ma was disgusted that she had given birth to a girl.
She wasn't allowed to eat the next day. She was already weak, and after giving birth, not being allowed to eat caused her to faint the following afternoon.
When she woke up, her child was nowhere to be found!
She questioned Granny Ma, "Granny, where is my child? Where did you take him?"
Grandma Ma snorted coldly: "You still have the nerve to mention that? I want a grandson, not a granddaughter. What use is a girl you give me besides eating grain?"
"Mother, where did you take the child? Did you give him away or throw him away?"
Aunt Ma didn't keep you in suspense: "I gave it to them! They won't die!"
Song Pandi breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she can live, that's all that matters. If Aunt Ma really throws her away, she'll definitely go and complain!
She sighed softly. It was better to give the child to someone else, so that the child wouldn't have to suffer here with her every day, not having enough to eat or wear.
She lay down, closed her eyes, and wanted to rest for a while.
But Aunt Ma woke her up in no time: "Song Pandi, hurry up and cook!"
Song Pandi couldn't believe it. She had just given birth, and this old slut was already making her do chores.
She glared at Granny Ma: "Mother, I just gave birth!"
"So what if you just had a baby? I just had a son, and I still have to wash my own diapers in the dead of winter!"
"Hurry up and cook me some food, stop nagging!"
Every time Song Pandi dragged her heavy body out of bed to cook, she felt a deep resentment in her heart!
Who would expect someone to cook and do laundry right after giving birth?
Aunt Ma's next words shocked her even more: "Song Pandi, I originally thought you were carrying a son, but you gave birth to a useless girl. From now on, you'll eat a pancake every two days and vomit up all the extra food you ate before!"
Song Pandi!
"Mother! If you don't let me eat, I'll starve to death!"
Grandma Ma remained unmoved, saying indifferently, "So be it, you're useless!"
Song Pandi glared fiercely at the old hag. She never expected that this old bitch would be so cruel. She was forced to work when she was weak after giving birth and was not even given food.
A boundless hatred blazed in her eyes!
That old bastard deserves to die!
But she still got up to cook, otherwise that old bitch would probably beat her to death right now.
Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan were at home reading and doing exercises when Lin Mengmeng and Zhang Qiang came over.
Lin Mengmeng's face was a little red. She pulled Yun Ningyan aside and said, "Ningning, Zhang Qiang and I are getting engaged. You have to come over tomorrow so we can celebrate. I've also invited the brigade leader and Aunt Guihua!"
"That's great news!" she said with a smile. "Congratulations! We'll definitely come tomorrow!"
Lin Mengmeng talked with Yun Ningyan for a long time before leaving.
As soon as the two left, Yun Ningyan started thinking about what kind of gift to give Lin Mengmeng.
After thinking it over, I finally decided to get her a set of skincare products: a face cream, a hand cream, and a body lotion.
The next day, Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan went to the educated youth settlement early in the morning, and she thought she would go and help her cook.
Who knew that when the two arrived, Liu Zhijun and Hu Haiquan were each busy cooking and fetching water.
Zhang Qiang and Lin Mengmeng are cooking.
Both of them brought out their tables.
There were quite a few ingredients displayed on it.
Yun Ningyan walked over: "Mengmeng, congratulations! I made these face creams, hand creams, and body creams myself in this market."
Lin Mengmeng smiled and said, "Thank you, Ningning, please put it on my bed!"
Yun Ningyan put the things on her bed, then washed her hands, preparing to help.
Huo Junshan stopped her, saying, "What do you want? I'll do it. You can just stand there!"
He wouldn't even let her cook with cold water at home, so naturally he wouldn't let her cook when other people were visiting.
Lin Mengmeng smiled and said, "Oh, Ningning, stop busying yourself! You're here as a guest, there's no reason for you to cook. Everything's almost ready! We'll start cooking in a bit."
At this moment, the brigade leader and Aunt Guihua also came over.
Yun Ningyan called out after Huo Junshan, "Uncle, Aunt!"
Liu Zhijun hurriedly went inside to bring out two stools for the brigade leader and Aunt Guihua.
Lin Mengmeng has already started cooking!
She used the same pot as the one in Yun Ningyan's old hut to cook food.
Liu Zhijun and Hu Haiquan each cooked in a pot, while Zhang Qiang and Lin Mengmeng each cooked in a pot.
Liu Zhijun was the first to see Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan arrive.
He really wanted to greet Yun Ningyan, but seeing Huo Junshan following closely behind, he had no choice but to put aside his desire to greet Yun Ningyan.
Huo Junshan is extremely jealous; even if he only talks to Yun Ningyan, he'll clench his fists and scare himself.
No matter what, he couldn't beat Huo Junshan, so he had to give up!
