At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, due to the continuous invasion of the imperialist powers and the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, Britain, France, Japan, Russia, the United States and other countries signed a series of unequal treaties such as the Treaty of Nanjing, the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and the Xinchou Treaty, forcing the Qing government to cede land and pay compensation, causing the lives of the Chinese people to fall into dire straits. My grandma was born in this chaotic era.

The two low and short thatched houses were very simple. There was nothing else in the corner except a dilapidated table. This family looked so poor that it was as poor as a house.

On the ground in the hut, there were piles of dirty clothes like hills.

A twenty-three or four-year-old woman was sitting on a bench with her hair loose and her big belly, and was washing her clothes with great difficulty.

Due to the difficulty, a lot of sweat dripped from her forehead.

The two daughters, the eldest daughter, were three years old, named Yadan, and the second daughter, was two years old, named Erya. The two children started fighting because they fought for something.

After you and I took it, the eldest daughter Yadan finally snatched the things. Erya didn't get the things, and she cried loudly in grievance.

When the mother saw the noise of the two children, she quickly wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeves, stopped the work in her hands, and shouted at them: "Yadan, Erya, what are you two doing? Ah!"

Yadan: "Mom, Erya stole my stuff."

The mother said to her: "Erya Xiao, you are older than her, just give her the things."

Yadan stubbornly said: "No, I won't give it to you!"

Mother: "Why are you so disobedient? Ah! Give her the things!"

Yadan: "No, I won't give it! I just won't give it."

Erya cried even harder.

"Oh! You! Do you have to let me get up and ask you for it?" Mother said, with her big belly, she was about to stand up with great difficulty. Suddenly, something was wrong with her body, and she couldn't help but scream: "Oh!"

Suddenly, the sweat beads on his face fell down.

Yadan: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

The mother gritted her teeth and forced herself to say to her: "Yedan, hurry up! Go and call your dad."

When Yadan saw her mother's painful appearance, she threw down what she had in her hand and ran out.

On the street.

Yadan ran forward quickly on the street.

3,

In the horse circle.

My father Xu Baolin put the chopped grass on a full dustpan and carried it to the horse circle.

When several horses saw him, they all ran over.

Xu Baolin evenly scattered the dustpan grass in the trough, and several horses lowered their heads and started eating.

A horse protects the trough and prevents another horse from eating. When Xu Baolin saw it, he patted it hard and said, "You mess up, you want to eat alone, go! Go!"

The horse had to lean to one side.

At this time, the three-year-old daughter Yadan ran over panting and said, "Dad, Dad."

Xu Baolin turned around and asked in surprise: "Yadan, why did you come here?"

Yadan was still gasping for breath: "Dad, dad, go back quickly! Go back quickly! My mom is about to give birth to a little sister."

Xu Baolin: "You are talking nonsense!"

Yadan: "I didn't talk nonsense."

Xu Baolin: "It's the little brother, not the little sister."

Yadan corrected: "It's just a little sister, not a little brother."

"Okay, stop talking, go back quickly!" Xu Baolin finished talking to Yadan, turned around and ran out.

Inside the small thatched hut.

My mother curled up on the kang, and she couldn't help but scream.

Xu Baolin ran into the house and saw that his wife had become like that, and asked at a loss: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

The mother endured the pain and said to him: "You... go and call Grandma Li quickly, I... am afraid I'm going to give birth."

"Hey, hold on, I'll go now! Ah!" After his father said that, he ran out of the house in panic.
