Chapter 69: Sterilization?
And her mother died of dystocia, which cast such a deep shadow on her that no matter how much she liked a person, she dared not take that step.
Wait!
Lin Shu opened her eyes suddenly, Lu Shaotang was back.
He had to go home, right?
She and he were husband and wife, right?
Then they...
With the original owner's fertile body, wouldn't it be easy for her to get pregnant?
What if she died of dystocia like her mother...
Ah, bah, bah, she wouldn't die.
No, she had to have a sterilization!
After the operation, even if Lu Shaotang came back, she would have nothing to be afraid of.
She gestured on her body with her fingers, and suddenly felt a twitch in her body, and was a little scared.
Nowadays, female sterilization requires laparotomy, which is a major operation.
No, why should she suffer?
Even an IUD is not okay. It is said that the quality of IUDs these days is very poor. Many women suffer from it, and later they grow in the flesh and rot. As a result, some women have to have their abdomens opened to remove them, or even have their organs removed.
Horrible!
Forget it, let's wait until the end.
That night, Lin Shu started to have nightmares again. Someone dragged her to force her to get an IUD and sterilize her. Someone else forced her to have an abortion, saying that she had an extra child. In the end, she was scared awake.
I felt dizzy in the morning. This was the first time I didn't sleep well since I traveled through time!
Ah, men are really a drag, affecting her carefree life.
I hope his leader will assign him another task, let him go on a business trip or something like that.
The next morning, Fang Dihua and Lin's mother saw the dark circles under Lin Shu's eyes and felt sorry for her because she didn't sleep well.
Fang Dihua took the order and queued up at the nearby state-owned vegetable market to buy pig liver. She originally wanted to buy some buns from the state-owned hotel, but it turned out that the place was closed.
Lin Shu went to handle the discharge procedures and bought a bag of steamed buns from the hospital cafeteria. The steamed buns here were white, big, soft and sweet. She took them back to feed her children.
Lin's mother packed the bedding and the washbasin in a net bag.
Fang Dihua helped Lin's mother carry the bedding and Lin Shu carried the books. Lin's mother held Baoer and Lin Shu carried the remaining luggage.
The bus to Qing County will pass by the hospital from the city bus station, making it convenient to take the bus.
As they were waiting for the bus, a Dongfeng truck drove over and stopped beside them.
Lin Shu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be Lu Shaotang who came looking for her?
The co-driver drove off, but Wei Ling jumped out of the car. She smiled and said, "Lin Shu, I just happened to be going to Qing County to do some work, so I'll give you a ride on the way."
Fang Dihua and Lin's mother didn't think much about it. They thought it was good to go there, so they thanked her and climbed onto the back of the truck. This kind of military truck is equipped with a rain cloth canopy.
Lin Shu thanked Wei Ling.
She guessed that it was Wei Lan who asked Wei Ling to do it. She felt a little embarrassed. Obviously, she asked Wei Lan to do something because of Wei Ling, but now it seems that there is something between her and Wei Lan.
Lin Shu was not the kind to hide things, so she thanked Wei Ling openly and told her that Lin's mother and Fang Dihua were anemic and that Wei Lan helped buy milk powder.
Wei Ling smiled and said, "He told us."
He also lied to his parents that a colleague from the countryside was in trouble and his old mother was malnourished and sick, so he gave them the milk powder quota.
His parents didn't doubt it, because Wei Lan was usually an honest person and never lied, and they allowed him to help poor colleagues in the future.
It was also magical today. Someone called the army and asked if there was a car going to Qing County. She happened to be going for an interview, so the leader asked her to take the driver to the hospital and pick up a few people.
When he said it, it turned out to be Lin Shu and the others.
Knowing that she was going to Qing County, Wei Lan took the initiative to ask her to take Lin Shu and the others with her.
This brat really deserves a beating. Isn't her relationship with Lin Shu not closer than his? He just delivered a book to Lin Shu, why is he pretending to be a good person?
After a lot of interrogation, he finally confessed the truth, and asked her to keep it a secret and not let her parents know, and also not to tell Lin Shu that she knew, because Lin Shu clearly rejected him.
Wei Ling couldn't help but look at Lin Shu more highly. She was indeed a woman she admired. She had a clear mind and was not confused at all.
Lin Shu, Fang Dihua, Lin's mother and Baoer sat in the back. The truck was more stable and faster than a tractor.
Not long after leaving the hospital, the driver looked in the rearview mirror and said to Wei Ling, "Reporter Wei, there is a jeep following us."
Wei Ling looked out and saw a jeep. She couldn't tell who it was because it was a little far away, so she waved to say hello.
But the jeep turned and went another way.
Wei Ling: "Hey, it may not be someone I know."
The jeep sped along the city road.
Chen Yanming glanced at Lu Shaotang next to him. Oh my... my god, that incredibly beautiful young wife yesterday turned out to be Lao Lu's wife!
She... she was on a blind date with someone else!
Poor Lao Lu.
Originally, Lu Shaotang wanted to go to the hospital quietly last night, but his accomplice who was temporarily interrogating Chen Chaofa found out another clue. After reporting to the chief, he received a new task - to start the investigation.
He didn't have time to go to the hospital.
It's not that he can't go, but there is not enough time to reminisce and say goodbye, and it's not convenient to reunite in a non-private place. It's enough for his family to know that he is fine and that his family is fine.
Anyway, his wife has seen him and will definitely tell his parents.
What's frustrating is that his wife saw him and pretended not to know him, then turned and left.
At first he thought she might not recognize him after not seeing him for several years, but when he thought about it, the way she looked at him changed several times in a short period of time.
The initial surprise, the subsequent shock, the subsequent forced calmness, and finally the pretending not to know her and leaving as if nothing had happened. He
never thought that his mother would marry him such an interesting wife, who was also a chameleon.
He had written to his family, and she must have known that he was not dead, so he never thought that she would be afraid of seeing him alive.
If he didn't have great trust in the leader, his wife would have passed the political review. His first reaction to her big change would be to suspect that she was replaced by a spy with a similar appearance.
Maybe... she knew he was on a mission, so she pretended not to know him?
If she gave him a look, he would understand, but unfortunately she gave him a look of ignoring and not knowing him.
Or maybe... she was angry with him?
That's right, she left after three days of marriage and didn't come back for several years. Who wouldn't be angry?
Lu Shaotang didn't think there was anything wrong with not going home before. After all, his wife despised him when they got married. Now she showed a different attitude and said she loved him very much. He felt a little...
Chen Yanming saw that Lu Shaotang looked normal and couldn't tell anything unusual, but he lowered his thick eyelashes, which was not normal.
Usually Lu Shaotang always had sharp and calm eyes and rarely lowered his eyelashes for a long time.
Chen Yanming asked a few questions tentatively, but Lu Shaotang answered very clearly.
This person's ability to do many things at the same time is enough to make people jealous.
Last night, Lao Lu had changed his clothes and was going out, but who knew that he would not go out after receiving a mission. Instead, he confessed to him that the beautiful woman was his wife. Chen Yanming was almost scared to death.
Oh, at that time, he really felt very sorry for Lao Lu.
Lu Shaotang asked him to call the military region here and ask if there was a car going to Qing County, and give his wife and mother a ride tomorrow.
Chen Yanming felt that Lao Lu's observation ability was really strong. How could he know that his young wife was going home early in the morning?
Anyway, he guessed it right.
After completing the mission, he can visit Lao Lu's house.
Chen Yanming was more excited than Lu Shaotang.
On the way, Fang Dihua discussed with Lin's mother, "Let's stay with us for a few days first, and then go home after my in-laws and Lin Yue come back."
Lin's mother was afraid of causing trouble for the Lu family.
Lin Shu: "Just stay for a few days, let my eldest brother go home and ask my aunt to weigh the food."
Lin's mother agreed, and she didn't want to go home by herself, lest the Sun family scare her again at night.
The truck arrived outside the Lujiazhuang village, and Lin Shu invited Wei Ling to go home for dinner.
Wei Ling declined, saying that she was busy with work and would visit the Lu family when she had nothing to do.
After the truck left, Lin Shu went back to the Lu family with her mother-in-law and mother.
It was noon, time for everyone to cook.
Unexpectedly, Father Lu was cooking at home. Youyou led Tiantian and Panpan to help him, some of them were lighting the fire, some were picking vegetables, and they were very busy.
Hearing Fang Dihua's loud voice outside, Panpan and Tiantian shouted happily, threw the vegetables and ran out, "Mom, Grandma——"
Seeing Lin's mother and Baoer, they asked about grandma and brother.
Tiantian and Panpan hugged their mother's legs and rubbed their grandmother's legs excitedly, and finally Lin Shu took them back one by one.
Seeing the old woman and the others come back, Father Lu was also very happy. He greeted Lin's mother and asked them to put down their things and drink water and rest.
Xu Xiaoyou was also very happy that Grandma Fang's eyes were fine. She had been worried about it these days.
Since there was not enough time and Father Lu had to go to work in the afternoon, Fang Dihua did not tell him about the third child for the time being, fearing that he would be too excited, so she decided to wait until the evening. She
was a little unhappy when she saw Father Lu cooking, "What about the second child?"
Father Lu: "She is at work. I have time anyway, and cooking does not interfere with work."
He used to work overtime, but now it is okay not to work overtime if there is something at home, and everyone understands.
Fang Dihua felt something was wrong, so she asked about the family situation.
Father Lu: "Everything is fine, everything is fine."
Fang Dihua knew that he only reported good news and not worries, so she specifically asked about the eldest and second children's families.
Panpan and Tiantian immediately pulled Fang Dihua to whisper in her ear.
The eldest uncle definitely deserves a beating. Not only does he not collect firewood or fetch water to water the vegetables when grandma is not at home, he not only asks the second uncle to wash his clothes, but also lets the second uncle do almost everything except the work assigned by the production team.
The second aunt is... cheating.
She complains every day that mom cheats while cooking. Mom doesn't cheat, only the second aunt!
The first day mom and grandma left, grandpa went to the county, and the second aunt cooked. The next day, he still asked her to cook.
As a result, grandpa found so many egg skins outside in the evening.
It turned out that the second aunt came home to cook at noon, and secretly fried several eggs with lard to eat!
The smell of fried eggs with lard in the house was so obvious that it lingered for a long time, and they could smell it as soon as they got home.
The key is that Second Aunt is still pretending that she can't cook, so she doesn't stew egg custard for the children in the morning and evening, but stews salted vegetables directly.
Oh, Second Aunt is so cunning.
Her cooking skills are very average when she cooks for everyone, but she cooks deliciously when she eats secretly.
Aunt Li can smell it.
Chang Xiaogang even limped to the back of the house and sniffed the smell of fried eggs with lard.
So Second Aunt cooked lunch for two days and was deprived of the right to cook by Father Lu.
Father Lu also kept winking at the two children to tell them not to say anything, saying, "Won't this make your grandma angry?
It's impossible for Second Aunt to spit out what she ate. "
Rather than being angry at Second Aunt's cheating, Fang Dihua was more angry at Second Sister-in-law Lu for only caring about herself and not even caring about the children.
It would be fine if you had brought Lu Cuicui with you to cheat.
This bastard has the same character as the eldest brother!
The eldest brother can be beaten, but the daughter-in-law is not.
After the meal was ready, Fang Dihua was going to deliver the meal to the field. Lin Shu made a small bowl of egg drop soup for everyone to drink, and took out the pig liver to soak in water to cook in the evening.
Fang Dihua went to the field with a soup pot and a small basket for dry grains and pickled vegetables.
The production team has begun to arrange the autumn harvest, and whatever is ripe first will be harvested first.
Fang Dihua went to deliver meals to her two sons first, and finally went to the cotton field to deliver meals to Lu Ersao.
Seeing that there were only steamed buns and pickled cabbage lumps, but no stewed eggs, Lu Ersao couldn't help but frowned, "Mom, why are there no vegetables?"
Fang Dihua: "Aren't there pickles?" Second
Sister-in-law Lu was a little unhappy, "No stewed eggs?"
Fang Dihua snorted coldly and glared at her fiercely, "Hey, you still need eggs in your stomach?"
After saying that, she left.
Second Sister-in-law Lu was immediately furious on the spot. What's the matter? Are you scolding her for eating eggs secretly?
Lin Shu eats secretly at home every day, why
don't her parents-in-law say anything? She ate only twice and her father-in-law found out and stopped cooking for her. As soon as her mother-in-law came back, she complained?
Why is this old man so mean?
She felt very wronged.
As soon as Fang Dihua left, Song Chunfang approached Lu Ersao and whispered, "Your mother-in-law is scolding you for not laying eggs. You haven't gotten pregnant yet?"
Lu Ersao said unhappily, "Whether I am pregnant or not is none of your business? You are going to raise the baby for me?"
Song Chunfang: "How can you be a dog biting Lu Dongbin?"
Lu Ersao: "What kind of Lu Dongbin are you? You are just a dog biting a dog."
After scolding her, she came to her senses and scolded herself. She was even more angry, and her nose and mouth were crooked.
Fang Dihua went to work in the afternoon.
Her eyes were free to do her work. She could
n't stay at home idle without earning work points when she went out. She couldn't do it.
When work was over in the evening, Fang Dihua asked Lu Erge to go to Linjiatun to find Aunt Lin and help weigh food. She also asked Aunt Lin to help feed the pigs and chickens for a few days.
Lu Erge was a fast runner and came back quickly to tell Lin's mother about the situation.
Aunt Lin and Uncle slept at her house at night. They fed the chickens and pigs every day and they were all fine.
The village had organized young and strong people to patrol and look after the young, so the Sun family did not dare to cause trouble again.
Mother Lin heaved a sigh of relief and said to Lin Shu: "Your aunt really helped when she had something to do."
Lin Shu: "After all, my uncle and my father are brothers. Besides, my father and Lin Yue will be tractor operators in the future and can also help the family."
She told Mother Lin not to always feel that she owed others, and that it was the same if they helped each other in the future.
After dinner, the children gathered around Fang Dihua and Mother Lin and made a lot of noise. Now that the weather was cooler, the cicadas and monkeys were gone, so they no longer went out to look for them.
At that time, people had never been far away from home, had never seen the world, and didn't know what the outside world was like. Even if someone from another village came, they would just gather around and watch.
Moreover, Fang Dihua and Lin's mother had been to the market. The children first cared about the health of the two old ladies, and then asked about the market, the hospital, what to eat and what to do. Especially
Tiantian and Panpan, they asked their grandmother and grandma all the time, and when they couldn't get anything new out of them, they were satisfied and asked Youyou to go to bed together.
Children have a lot of activities during the day, and they are very sleepy after 8 o'clock in the evening. Baoer is already sleeping soundly.
Lin Shu took the three children back to the house to sleep, and within two minutes, the children fell asleep.
There is a palm-sized notebook with needles and thread next to Tiantian's pillow. She dreams of her father several times, her mother several times, and her father and mother together several times at night...
In the east room, Fang Dihua is helping Old Man Lu roll up his quilt so that he can sleep in Big Brother Lu's room for a few days. Although Old Man Lu doesn't want to be separated from his wife and sleep on the same kang with his eldest son, he still listens to the arrangement.
Mother Lin keeps saying that she is causing trouble.
Lin Shu walks to the door frame and whispers, "Dad, Mom, I saw the child's father yesterday."
Fang Dihua hums, looking very natural, and then glares at Lin Shu, "What? You...really saw it?"
Old Man Lu was about to go out with the quilt in his arms, and he stumbled and almost fell. Fang Dihua hurriedly supports him.
Mother Lin was still wondering, "Who?"
Lin Shu whispered, "Keep your voice down, don't be surprised, I saw Lu Shaotang."
Mother Lin was still wondering who Lu Shaotang was, and her tongue swirled around. Oh my god, she also widened her eyes. Isn't that my tall, handsome, and money-making short-lived third son-in-law?
Seeing the two old ladies and one old man in disbelief, Lin Shu was satisfied.
How could I be the only one shocked?
My parents-in-law were actually okay. They were mentally prepared. They were only surprised when they heard that Lu Shaotang was back, not scared.
My mother was different. She thought Lu Shaotang was dead just like me. When she heard it at first, she was full of disbelief.
If Rang Niang suddenly saw Lu Shaotang on the street, the old lady would surely faint with fright.
Therefore, she was only shocked and dazed for a second... or two seconds, and then quickly recovered to normal, which was already amazing.
Lin Shu quickly regained her sense of superiority as a time traveler.
Mother Lin was shocked for several seconds and then began to wipe away her tears and sob, "Great, great, the third son-in-law is not dead, that's great."
In this way, she doesn't have to carry the guilt of persuading her daughter to remarry in the future.
Her in-laws were so good to her family, and she always felt a little sorry for persuading her daughter to remarry. But as a mother, she felt really bad for letting her daughter be a widow.
Now it's all right, that's great."
Lin Shu used a handkerchief to wipe away Mother Lin's tears, and motioned her to keep her voice down so that others could hear.
Mother Lin wiped away her tears and laughed. She laughed so happily that she no longer felt uncomfortable.
Before this, even though her son got a divorce and got rid of Sun Xiaohong, which was a big happy event, she was still a little unhappy in her heart. She couldn't laugh so happily, and she always felt she was missing something.
Wasn't it because the third son-in-law was gone?
Now everything is fine, the son-in-law is fine, thank God, God still has eyes.
Mother Lin immediately put her hands together, knelt on the kang, and worshipped all the gods she could name.
Even someone as calm as Father Lu couldn't help but dance with joy. He wanted to go out and dance a few times, especially to go to the door of Old Chang's house and beat gongs and drums and shout: My son is back!
When he received a letter from his son before, he knew his son was fine when he saw the familiar handwriting.
But his son's return was different from sending money or letters.
They hadn't seen their son for several years, so his return was of course a great joy!
Father Lu: "Tomorrow we have to burn paper and offer sacrifices to our ancestors."
Lin Shu: "That's right, I left a piece of pig liver for you."
Father Lu no longer despised his eldest son, and hummed a little tune as he went to Big Brother Lu's bed in the dark.
In the dark, Big Brother Lu said, "Dad, why are you crying and laughing? My mother's eyes..."
"Your mother's eyes are fine, she's fine."
"Is that your aunt-in-law?"
"She's fine too."
Big Brother Lu said, "So... Is there any news about the third child?"
Father Lu was stunned and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"
Big Brother Lu laughed, "Dad, I don't believe that the third child is gone. When he was a child, he was so disgusting, do you think Prince Yan would want him? In order to save trouble and worry, Prince Yan didn't even want to take him in."
Father Lu laughed, and suddenly he liked the eldest child. This dog thing still has some sense.
He closed his eyes and said contentedly: "Tomorrow morning, you go burn some paper for your grandpa and tell him."
Seeing him means that his son is 100% fine.
Big Brother Lu rolled around on the kang with joy and hugged Old Father Lu: "Dad, it's good!"
My dad still loves me. I can drink the wine for the ancestors openly, hehe.
Third brother, you should come back early, then I, your big brother, can drink wine every day.
