in Taohua Village, Taohua Town. There has
been a year of drought and the river bed has dried up. Under a peach tree that has not bloomed for several years, a group of old, middle-aged and young people are sitting, looking forward to it, not knowing what they are looking forward to?
A man with a purple complexion carrying a bucket passed by. He smiled and showed his big white teeth: "Uncle Gao, I heard that Dazhu's wife is going to give birth?"
"Yes." Old Man Gao was a little impatient and knocked on the stone beside him. I knocked my pipe and looked up at the sky. God doesn't know when it will rain. If it continues like this, it will be difficult to live, let alone smoke.
The big purple man might have been tired from walking, so he put down his pole and started chatting with Old Man Gao: "Uncle Gao, the well in the next village is almost out of water. If we carry more water, we have to walk more than ten miles. I don't know. When will you show mercy and let some rain fall?"
People! It just can't be compared. Although the old Gao family is prosperous, they are poor! It's a time of famine again, and I have a son again, but I can't find the right time to cry.
Gao Dazhu said with disgust: "Wang Er, the little water you picked up will be lost in the sun if you don't take it home." Who doesn't know this troublesome thing, and he needs to talk about it?
Wang Er stood up with a smile, picked up the pole and left. Gao Dazhu looked at his son aside: "It's only two hours!" Why hasn't the baby been born yet?
Gao An looked at the sky: "It's almost done, Dad, what do you mean, mother..."
Before Gao An could finish speaking, crying came from the room. Everyone was stunned, and no one dared to take a step forward.
The midwife came out to announce the good news. Seeing everyone's helpless expressions, she laughed.
"Congratulations, you are a beautiful girl." She has delivered so many children, and this is the first one to be born clean. No wonder Lao Gao's family has been looking forward to it for so many years.
After a short period of silence, everyone was very happy. Mr. Gao originally wanted to see his granddaughter, but thinking that he was the father-in-law, it was inconvenient to go in, so he hurried home to find his old wife.
"I have a daughter, I have a daughter." Gao Dazhu said happily.
The Gao An brothers hugged each other and said, "We have a sister, we have a sister." We no longer have to look at other people's sisters with envy.
The midwife was helpless and prepared to turn back to help clean up. As soon as she turned around, she heard a thunderous sound. She stopped and looked at the sky. She didn't know when several rain clouds drifted over. The sky is getting a little dark.
"This..." Is it going to rain? No way! It's been a year of drought, and it will rain when the Gao family's little girl is born?
Before the midwife could say anything, raindrops fell from the sky, one or two... A heavy rain was nothing more than that.
Several people hurriedly hid in the house. Gao Dazhu looked at the great joy outside, and his mood was indescribably beautiful. All the unhappy things before had been wiped away. Now that it has rained, this year's harvest has been saved. , my daughter can also have a good year.
It rained for two quarters of an hour. Although it didn't last long, it moistened the land and gave everyone hope.
The midwife told Gao Dazhu that they had packed it up. Gao Dazhu smiled awkwardly. Just when he was about to speak, the midwife said with a smile: "We all live in the same village. It doesn't matter if we give it to you later. I'll go back first. I'll go back later." You have to cook for the father at noon. Your wife had a good pregnancy, but it rained just after she was born. The child is a lucky one, so you have to be nice to your wife."
What I said was in vain. Although the Gao family Life is difficult, but he is very kind to his wife.
Gao Dazhu rubbed his hands, thinking that he would be excited to see his daughter. Before he could enter the main house, he saw the village chief walking towards his home, and he hurriedly greeted her.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Most people in the village have the surname Gao, and the village chief is a highly respected old man who can be regarded as his clan grandfather.
The village chief couldn't hide the joy on his face: "I heard that your wife gave birth to a daughter for you?"
"Yes! It's a daughter." Gao Dazhu said with pride on his face.
The village chief nodded: "Okay, that's good. There was a heavy rain right after the child was born. This year's harvest was saved. What a lucky baby."
Gao Dazhu said happily: "My daughter must be good. Grandpa, when the child is one month old, I will invite you over for a drink!"
The village chief smiled: "You kid, you have already given birth to several sons. It's like being a father for the first time. OK, when the time comes, the old man will shamelessly come over and drink your full moon wine. Okay, I have to mobilize every household. Now that it's raining, we have to seize the time to plant seeds. The ground is what makes it."
"Grandpa, shall I send you off?" Gao Dazhu was thinking about his wife and daughter, but he still had to be polite.
The village chief waved his hand: "No, the old man can still walk."
Gao Dazhu smiled and sent it to the door. It happened that Gao Chang had finished helping his brother get the things and was about to sneak in to see his sister. He saw that his father was in a good mood, so He smiled and moved closer.
"Dad, don't you want to see your mother and sister?" Gao Chang pulled Gao Dazhu's hand to the door of the house. Gao Dazhu came to his senses, opened the curtain, and hurried in with his youngest son.
Gao Qin, who was in the room, heard the noise outside, and now she was also happy! She held her newborn daughter in her arms, feeling indescribable joy in her heart.
"Why are you still crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Shall I call a doctor for you?" Gao Dazhu said worriedly as he saw his wife crying while holding her child.
Gao Qin hurriedly grabbed him: "I'm fine. I'm happy. It rained as soon as the child was born. We can have a good year." The children have suffered hardships with them in the past few years.
Gao Dazhu looked at the child in his wife's arms, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "This child... is so beautiful." He also had several sons, and no daughter was born like this. The pure and white look made people look... joy.
Gao Chang climbed onto the bed and saw his sister in his mother's arms. He happily wanted to touch her, but his father slapped her away before he could touch her.
"Your hands are too dirty, don't make my daughter dirty." Gao Dazhu looked at his son with disgust.
Gao Chang: ...
"Xiao Chang, go wash your hands and let you touch your sister later." Gao Qin said with a smile, looking at her son's aggrieved look.
Gao Chang went to wash his hands happily, and when he walked into the courtyard, he didn't forget to show off to his brothers how pretty his sister was.
Gao Qin laughed. Today's days are really peaceful. Looking at her daughter in her arms, she thought silently in her heart: "Good boy, your parents and brother will take good care of you."
It may be that mother and daughter are connected. Heart, the swaddled baby who was sleeping with his eyes closed showed a big smile.
"Daughter-in-law, look at my daughter smiling." Gao Dazhu said happily.
Gao Qin was very helpless: "It's not the first time I've become a father. Why are I still acting like a brat?"
Gao Dazhu scratched his head in laughter: "My daughter is different from a brat. No, I have to give my daughter something." Just think of a good name."
