Ling Chuchu explained.
Ling Yunzhi wished that every day was sunny, so that he could dry the melon seeds earlier.
After cooking the peanuts with shells, Ling Feifei and Ling Yunzhi had already peeled the peanuts.
Ling Chuchu also made crispy and spicy peanuts.
This one doesn't need to be dried in the sun, it's crispy right out of the box.
The taste is particularly fresh, crispy and delicious.
Finally, Ling Chuchu brined the pig liver.
To be honest, the pigs on her manor have already given birth, and they can be killed for meat.
But she doesn't have the courage to kill the pigs.
Every time she enters the manor, she just looks around to satisfy her hunger.
Ling Chuchu packed a piece of brine pork liver and two bowls of spicy peanuts.
"Xiaozhi, when you go back later, take these back to our parents."
"I know, Sister Chuchu."
He responded, but he never stopped chewing peanuts.
It was really too fragrant.
I really want to stay at Sister Chuchu's place every day and not go back.
Ling Chuchu planned to wait until the five-spice melon seeds and the five-spice peanuts in the shell were dried before taking them to Ling's house.
The next day, Zhang Li and Yuanyuan brought cloth.
Yuanyuan's was military green cloth, and Zhang Li's was plaid cloth and blue cloth.
The blue cloth Zhang Li brought was more like denim, but it was not denim.
At this time, men were all wearing military green, blue Zhongshan suits, and liberation suits.
Women were wearing black, blue, gray, and Lenin suits, Western-style wide-collared, double-breasted suits.
If the 1970s were a black and white era without any color, then the 1980s were a colorful and dazzling era.
Ling Chuchu measured their sizes and wrote them down.
The sizes of the two were similar.
"What style do you want? You can tell me directly."
"Chuchu, I don't have any ideas, just do it yourself."
Yuanyuan quickly agreed, "My master and I have the same idea."
"Well, come back in two days to pick it up."
She already had an idea of what to do.
After the two left, Ling Chuchu closed the door and entered the manor.
She combined the military green fabric with modern elements to make a top that reached the hips and a pair of pants. If it was paired with black military boots, it would be perfect.
She spliced the remaining fabric into a vest, so that no fabric was wasted.
The plaid fabric is autumn and winter style, which is thicker and has double-breasted buttons, making a more casual suit jacket.
The blue fabric is enough to make a pair of pants. The plaid top is matched with blue denim pants, which feels good.
In this era, people are used to wearing loose clothes. It can't be said to be a habit. It's because the material has no elasticity, which is suitable for making loose clothes.
Two days later, Zhang Li and Yuanyuan took away the new clothes with satisfaction.
Ling Chuchu dried the five-spice melon seeds and five-spice peanuts that were hung in the yard.
I personally delivered them to Ling's house.
Her father and mother were not at home, but her elder brother and sister-in-law were.
The sister-in-law held her little niece in her arms.
The little niece looked much more energetic than before, and her round eyes looked around curiously.
Her eyes always stayed on people for a while, as if she was recognizing people.
When his eyes turned to her, he smiled at her, drooling. Ling Chuchu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, the baby is in good spirits."
Feng Juan smiled, "Yes, since I drank the malt extract you gave me, I have become more energetic day by day. Look, I have grown taller."
"I really grew taller. My face seems to have gained some flesh, too." Ling Chuchu said in surprise.
"I saw that she has been staring at you. She likes you very much. Do you want to hug her?"
"Can I?" Ling Chuchu asked with a little excitement.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Feng Juan enthusiastically handed the child to Ling Chuchu's arms.
Ling Chuchu subconsciously opened her arms to receive it.
"Chuchu, her nickname is Le'an."
"This name has a good meaning."
I guess the person who gave this child this name hopes that she will be safe and happy all her life.
Ling Yunfei grinned and said, "Le'an's nickname was given to the child by your sister-in-law. She hopes that the child will be safe and happy all her life."
"The name is nice, so does our Le'an have a full name?"
"Not yet, but let our dad choose the full name."
Ling Chuchu nodded to show her agreement, "Yes, this is my first baby granddaughter. If you don't let me choose a name, I will be angry with you."
It's the New Year. To be honest, although Ling Chuchu has everything, it's still quite sad to spend the New Year alone.
The sound of firecrackers rang for half the night.
The firecrackers at that time were made of real materials, but they were also very polluting. In the morning, Liu Fanghua brought her dumplings. After Ling Chuchu ate them, it was already past eight o'clock and the sky was still foggy.
After the first and second days of the New Year, it was time to visit relatives.
The Ling family had many relatives, and they had not visited all the relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Ling Chuchu spent the New Year very leisurely.
Now, it is not convenient for her to cook and wash clothes by herself, but she can still move around.
Sometimes Liu Fanghua takes care of her, and sometimes it is Ling Jiaojiao.
"Chuchu, your belly is a little bit big, just like when I was pregnant with your brother and sister, could it be twins?"
"Maybe."
Ling Chuchu thought that she was pregnant with twins.
Or twins.
In a few months, she would see these two babies, and she was happy and nervous.
As soon as the ice melted in the north, winter was over. People gradually took off their heavy cotton clothes and put on light clothes. It was also the beginning of spring. When everyone was busy, Ling Chuchu's belly started to move. After only eight months, the baby could not stay in her belly.
Liu Fanghua took her to a hospital to register, and then she went into the delivery room.
In the delivery room, there was an independent wooden bed, a female doctor in her forties, and a young nurse who delivered her baby.
There were no extra medical instruments in the delivery room, and the doctors and nurses did not wear sterile delivery gowns, but ordinary white coats and white masks.
The nurse kept cheering her up.
There was no so-called painless delivery, and she was not given any painkillers. She was in so much pain that she could only scream to vent.
While she was screaming, there was also a woman screaming in pain in the next room.
It seemed to be more painful than her.
Ling Chuchu thought, she was carrying twins in her belly, and it was her first child, how could the pain be greater than hers?
While in pain, Ling Chuchu did not forget to cheer herself up in her heart.
I also secretly cheered for the woman who was giving birth next door.
At this time, the door of the delivery room was pushed open from the outside.
"Doctor Liang, it's not good. The female patient that Director Yuan received is getting weaker and weaker. It seems that she is dying..."
"Take me to see her."
Before the female nurse finished speaking, Doctor Liang interrupted her hurriedly.
Liu Fanghua saw the doctor who delivered her daughter and hurriedly went to greet him, "Doctor, how is my daughter? Has she given birth?"
Doctor Liang didn't have time to deal with her now, and replied perfunctorily: "It's still early, sit there and wait."
Liu Fanghua: "..."
Doctor Liang asked the young nurse: What's going on? When I saw Director Yuan receiving the patient, the patient was still fine. How come the patient is dying in just a short while? "
There must be something strange here.
The young nurse followed Director Liang's footsteps closely:
"After Director Yuan gave the patient an abortion drug, the baby was aborted, but the bleeding kept flowing and could not be stopped. Director Yuan is trying to save the patient, but he is afraid that he can't save her."
After hearing their conversation, Liu Fanghua sat down on the ground. She was extremely grateful that her daughter refused to have an abortion, otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this moment, Ling Chuchu, who was lying on the wooden bed in the delivery room, was still in a state of confusion. What happened? The doctor who delivered her baby just left like this? Isn't this too irresponsible?
And she seemed to not hear the screams of the woman in the next room. Could it be that the baby has been born now? So fast? Let her So jealous.
The doctor who delivered the baby left, leaving only a nurse to accompany her. After such a commotion, Ling Chuchu became even more nervous.
How could this hospital be so unreliable?
In fact, what Ling Chuchu didn't know was that every hospital in this era was like this. It was a great blessing for the woman to have a doctor deliver a baby in a delivery room.
At that time, there was no family planning or contraceptive pills. Women gave birth as soon as they got pregnant. Moreover, medical conditions were not developed and there was no It can be perfected. Women who have abortions either lose their lives or save their lives but may become infertile for life.
Abortion causes great harm to the female body.
Sometimes, it is possible that the same doctor will deliver several births at the same time.
For Ling Chuchu, having a nurse and a doctor is a great blessing.
Moreover, most pregnant women at this time are experienced women who have given birth to many children. Women deliver babies, or it's your mother-in-law who delivers.
Ling Chuchu went into the delivery room during the day and was in pain until the early morning. She finally gave birth to her first child. The first one came out, and the second one came out in two minutes.
In fact, after giving birth, you can go home to take care of the children the next day, but Ling Chuchu stayed in the hospital for two more days and asked the doctor to check the two children to make sure they were healthy before she left the hospital with the children.
"Chuchu, it's a good thing that your mother didn't bring you to the hospital for an abortion." Liu Fanghua said with great relief.
Ling Chuchu was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "I wouldn't come even if you asked me to. "
What medical conditions are there in this era?
Are there painless abortions? No, it seems that abortions are done without anesthesia, which is really more painful than giving birth. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
Most women at this time choose medical abortions, but some cannot abort at one time and have to suffer twice.
Not to mention this era, even in modern times, if there is painless abortion, she is unwilling to go to the hospital for an abortion.
Liu Fanghua witnessed with her own eyes outside the delivery room the day before yesterday that a woman about the same age as Chuchu entered the hospital and was in the ward next to Chuchu. However, she died in two hours because she drank the abortion medicine given by the doctor. She was scared when she thought about it.
"By the way, mom, on the day I gave birth, I heard the woman next to me screaming even more miserably than me. Did she give birth to a boy or a girl?"
"Oh, don't mention it. "Liu Fanghua waved her hands.
"Why?" Ling Chuchu asked in confusion.
"The woman next door to you is different from you. She didn't come to the hospital to give birth. Her elder sister brought her to the hospital for an abortion. She died within two hours from entering the hospital to taking medicine."
"Ah?"
Ling Chuchu screamed in surprise. She didn't know why she suddenly felt a piercing cold.
It turned out that when she was in unbearable pain in the delivery room, the sound next door was worse than hers. Suddenly, there was no sound. She thought she had given birth, but unexpectedly, the child was not born, and the person was taken away by the god of death.
