The nurse came over to change Gao Shengmei's dressing.
The person who was just talking and laughing suddenly cried out in pain as if a piece of flesh was torn off. Jiang Jun's fingertips couldn't help but tremble when he heard it.
After the nurse left, Gao Shengmei hummed and moaned for a while, then suddenly laughed again, as if she had thought of something. She told Jiang Jun, "I heard from the doctor that there are babies born weighing only 2.7 jin (1.3 kg). Isn't that the size of a kitten?"
Jiang Jun couldn't help laughing, stretching out his hands to form a bowl shape. "My brother weighs 5.4 jin, just like a black cat. He's just a kitten if he weighs over 2 jin."
Xiao Cui continued, "Why would you give birth to such a small child? It would fall out if you pushed hard on the toilet."
Jiang Jun: “…”
Xiao Cui waved his hand and said, "I have a cousin who is very skinny. She was already seven months pregnant and looked like she had just gotten pregnant. Later, she gave birth to the baby in the blink of an eye. Don't laugh, it's true. She was working in the fields with us in the morning, and then she said she had a stomachache and went home. When we returned at noon, she had already given birth."
Jiang Yun was sweating. The rumors were unbelievable. The more he talked, the more outrageous they became. "You don't understand, right?"
While doing social research in Lingcheng, she discovered that in remote or isolated rural areas of this era, women's self-protection awareness and health and hygiene knowledge are still very backward. They think it is their fault if they give birth to a daughter, and they dare not stay in bed for the confinement period. They have to do all the housework humbly.
Xiao Cui disagreed: "What's the point of knowing or not? She gave birth the same way as others did. There aren't so many rules in the countryside. Anyway, although the baby is hard to take care of, it's easy to give birth. We are just afraid of someone dying during childbirth. The baby will have back pain and blacking out after birth. Everyone has that. Just grit your teeth and get through it. When the baby grows up, all the problems will be gone."
Jiang Jun felt a surge of nervousness in his heart upon hearing this.
The nurse shouted at the door that Cui Jinlian's child was crying, and little Cui rubbed his chest and ran away.
Gao Shengmei saw that the situation was not good and quickly said, "Xiao Jiang, we have all served in the military. This wound is nothing. It's just a superficial injury. No bones or tendons have been broken. We gave birth in the hospital. There is no possibility of infection or anything like that."
Jiang Jun grimaced and pretended to be in pain: "Don't bother comforting me. You were in so much pain just now that I was shaking with pain just listening to you."
Gao Shengmei seemed to have discovered something: "So you are afraid of pain?"
Jiang Jun nodded repeatedly: "I'm scared to death. Even a hangnail would hurt for a long time."
At that time, she fell and suffered a concussion, and including the fight with Zhang Xiuying later, she felt like dying every time the pain came.
She totally didn't understand how Ye Qingyin could hold her heart and complain about heartache every day and still be alive and well.
Gao Shengmei chuckled: "I never knew you were so squeamish! You just don't want to have a baby because you're afraid of the pain. I'll listen to you even if it's only five dollars, right?"
Jiang Jun looked around and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. After all, her fear could not be dispelled by just one or two people persuading her.
She went to get the millet porridge that was being warmed in water: "Sister Xiaomei, you've become so fat, will Brother Peng dislike you if he sees you?"
Gao Shengmei rolled her eyes at the air: "He dares!"
Jiang Jun: "You sound like Brother Peng is afraid of you."
Gao Shengmei was proud: "I gave birth to a son for him. If he dares to despise me, I will kick him out immediately!"
Jiang Jun smiled and shook his head: "Wait for Brother Peng to come and tell me again."
Gao Shengmei snorted softly: "You think I don't dare!"
There is no need to guess whether he dares or not.
Jiang Jun didn't want to hear Gao Shengmei's boasting: "Where's the promise of acting like a spoiled child?"
Gao Shengmei smiled: "Please give me some face in front of my son!"
Don't break up when things are tough.
Jiang Yun scorned him: "He's so young, what does he know?"
Gao Shengmei said excitedly: "My son understands everything! He communicated with me while I was in my belly. Oh, and I asked my son not to bother me too long and come out early. He was really born very quickly! Doctors say that children actually understand everything, but they just can't speak, and then they slowly forget as they grow up. But I tell you, I'm not bragging, I only remember things from my childhood! What about you? I'm afraid you don't remember anything!"
Hey, she's a big director, how could she be bypassed with just a few words? Anyway, she was going to seize every opportunity to instill in Comrade Jiang Jun the idea that women must bear children, otherwise where would she find a daughter-in-law? How could a best friend like this be able to marry someone else?
Jiang Yun was silent. She had been hypnotized in her original time and space and had seen the scene of herself in the fetal period, but she didn't believe it. She felt that the scenes she saw during hypnosis were just the information in the brain undergoing Brownian motion and rearrangement, and there was no logic at all.
Whether you remember it or not, whether it is true or false, it is not a pleasant memory anyway, so it is better not to mention it.
The two of them spoke a little louder, and the little baby sleeping in the bed next to them started crying.
Gao Shengmei gestured to Jiang Jun to help carry him over: "My son has peed, please carry him quickly and don't get the quilt wet."
Jiang Jun looked around and asked, "Where's Xiaoying?"
Gao Shengmei stretched out her hand: "My son's crying makes my heart break, and you still have the mind to think about my sister! Hurry up and bring my son over!"
Jiang Jun couldn't hide, so she went to pick up the child. To be exact, she picked up the child by the straps on the blanket and handed him to Gao Shengmei, feeling relieved.
Gao Shengmei had difficulty moving, so she wasn't very skillful in unpacking the child. "Xiao Jiang, look at how cute my son is, and how delicious his meat is! Were you just going to throw him to me like a backpack?"
Jiang Yun was petrified and speechless.
Gao Shengmei bluntly instructed Jiang Yun to get some clean sheets and some clean clothes, and then to use boiling water to disinfect a small towel: "My son is hungry, he needs to be fed!"
Jiang Yun was fumbling around, hoping the babysitter would show up soon.
Who knew that this situation would continue until Gao Shengmei was one month old.
In addition to keeping the nanny to help at the Gao family, Ye Qingyin and Jiang Jun also took turns taking a few days off from work to take care of Gao Shengmei and her son.
Jiang Yun would rather attend meetings and work overtime at the company than be tortured by this kind of life of raising a child.
The little kid would poop after eating and eat after pooping, and would cry after a while. He was so noisy that he would never calm down. He was not at all the easy-to-take-care-for kid that Ye Qingyin said he was.
Even the Chinese New Year was not well celebrated.
When Jiang Bai was one month old, Ye Qingyin went to visit him with Jiang Jun. On the way back to the military headquarters, she sighed for a while: "Your brother came out a few days earlier than Diandian, but he's not as strong as Diandian. Your dad said you two sisters were even smaller when you were little? Xiaomei is better. She's strong and neither the adults nor the children have to suffer."
Gao Shengmei's son did not have a full name, his nickname was Diandian.
