Chapter 222: Giving Birth? (First Update)

No one knows a child better than his mother. After Su Ming returned to his bedroom, he tossed and turned in bed for a long time, but he couldn't fall asleep at all. There was no Internet in the mountains, so he couldn't go online to kill time. Su Meng couldn't sleep either, and he lay on the bed with his eyes staring at the ceiling.

He simply got up, closed his eyes, and sent out a spiritual force. After entering the mountain, the Saker Falcon had been flying in the surrounding mountains not far from Su Ming's home. Su Ming would sometimes possess his soul to see what this guy was doing, but most of the time, he found it hunting.

In the middle of winter, he actually caught several hibernating snakes, including a very poisonous iron head, which is generally called "five steps down". It's strange to say that snakes usually hide in caves when they hibernate, and I don't know how the Saker Falcon found it.

No matter how good the conditions in the zoo are, it is impossible to feed it poisonous snakes. The same animal, raised in artificial breeding and raised in the wild, is completely two concepts. So, following Su Ming out of the zoo is a rare benefit for any animal. Even if Su Ming does nothing, it is also a kind of enjoyment for the animals. The Saker Falcon has only been out for one day, and it has already had a good meal.

Receiving Su Ming's call, the Saker Falcon made an eagle cry in the air, made a very chic sharp turn, abruptly stopped the momentum of diving, turned around like a sharp arrow, and flew towards the two-story building of Su Ming's house.

Su Ming saw a small black dot in the moonlight from a distance, approaching quickly, and knew that the Saker Falcon had arrived. He moved his mind and used the ability of soul attachment to attach his mental power from a distance.

"Fuck! It's so exciting!"

For a moment, Su Ming felt like he was riding a super roller coaster, rushing down from a high altitude, and the night scenes on both sides flew backwards and quickly approached the ground, and he, standing on the small balcony on the second floor in the distance, became clearer and clearer.

From the perspective of the Saker Falcon, he could even clearly see a small pimple on his chin that was emerging.

Just as it was about to collide, the Saker Falcon flapped its wings, bringing up an invisible airflow, paused in the air, and made a smooth turn. A moment ago, it was carrying a thunderous momentum, but in an instant, it was as light as a feather and landed on Su Ming's arm easily.

The arm sank slightly, and the Saker Falcon put one claw on Su Ming's arm, and in the other claw, it seemed to hold something sticky and handed it to Su Ming.

A fishy smell came to his nose, and it turned out to be a small snake gall, dark green and a little black.

"Hehe, you are thinking about me while eating by yourself?" Su Ming smiled. Snake gall is a good thing, it can improve eyesight and relieve summer heat. He didn't bother to be polite with the Saker Falcon. He washed it with water, found a bottle of white wine from home, opened it and soaked it for a while, and swallowed it together with the wine and snake gall.

A bitter taste, the bitterer the snake gall, the better the effect, rinsed his mouth with water. After a while, he estimated that his mother had fallen asleep, so he tiptoed to open the door, took Haidongqing and Su Meng, quietly left the house, and walked along a narrow path towards the mountain behind.

After winding for about half a kilometer, he had left Sun Town and came to the hillside behind, where large areas of graves appeared in front of him.

He walked through many graves and came to a small grave that was not very big. A brick was used to press a few yellow papers on the grave, and there were some small flowers around it. It seemed that someone often came to take care of it.

Su Ming sat cross-legged in front of the small grave casually, lit a cigarette, and stuck it upside down on the grave.

A father is like a mountain, the backbone of a family, and the biggest support in the heart of a child. When a family loses its father, Su Ming, as a son, has to take over the role of the father.

"Dad, don't worry. I am now able to take care of myself and my mom." Su Ming looked at his father's grave and thought silently in his heart.

Under the moonlight, there were withered graves on the barren hills, a young man, a wild man, and an eagle.

...

The next morning, it was New Year's Eve.

There are many things to pay attention to during the New Year in rural areas. On New Year's Eve, the first thing to do when you open the door is to set off firecrackers to drive away evil spirits. As the only man standing at the door of the family, this task fell on Su Ming's shoulders.

Before dawn, the whole town of Sun had exploded. As soon as you go out, there is a strong smell of sulfur and saltpeter in the air. The streets are filled with green smoke. The not-so-wide streets are covered with a thick layer of firecracker red confetti. The crackling sound is deafening, making it like a war!

Su Ming and Su Meng, each holding a roll of 10,000 firecrackers, spread them in two rows on the ground, holding a lighter in their hands, standing at one end, and shouting: "It's New Year!"

"Crackle, crackle, crackle..."

It was probably the first time that Su Meng saw firecrackers being set off. He laughed like a child, jumping around the firecrackers with curiosity and a little fear, just like a big monkey.

After setting off firecrackers, the next thing to do was to post Spring Festival couplets.

Before liberation, Spring Festival couplets were not only for celebration, but also had a very practical function. As long as the red couplets were posted on the door, the debt collectors would not come to collect the debts after seeing them. No matter how big the matter was, they had to wait until after the New Year. Landlords and bullies like Huang Shiren who brought people to collect debts on New Year's Eve and forced people to sell their children were rare even in ancient feudal society, and were particularly hated.

There is also a saying of "pay attention everywhere" when posting couplets. In addition to posting them on all the doors in front and behind, you can't let go of anything else that can be posted to the corners. For example, a granary should have "a good harvest" on it, and a bicycle should have "a good harvest" on it. Traveling thousands of miles, traveling eight thousand at night." Even the Buick business car that Su Ming drove back was prepared to "safely enter and exit."

People generally don’t visit relatives on New Year’s Eve. Although the door is open, everyone is busy with their own affairs. At noon, they just eat whatever they want. Su Ming and Su Meng are downstairs eating steamed buns and eating meat. Su’s mother made it. Order rice soup and feed it to the pregnant white cat.

After the white cat arrived home, he lived in a small room at the back so that the loud firecrackers would not scare him. A small nest was built. The white cat had a big belly and lay lazily in the nest, refusing to move. Mother Su filled half a bowl of rice soup and placed it next to the white cat's nest. If it wanted to eat, it would tilt its head and lick it a few times. , just continue to sleep if you don’t want to eat.

It seemed that the birth of the baby was just a matter of the next few days. Perhaps when Su Ming returned to Yangchuan City, he would be able to take a few kittens with him.

After lunch, it is customary to go to the mountain behind to visit the graves of relatives and invite ancestors to go home for the New Year.

When Su Ming and his son arrived, several families were already there. Su Ming was the first person in Sun Town to be admitted to college. At that time, the whole town was in a sensation. When the villagers saw Su Ming coming back, they couldn't help but ask more questions.

"Hey, isn't this Su Ming? When did you come back? I'm sitting at home during the Chinese New Year." An uncle-level person said with a smile.

"Su Ming, how many days do you plan to stay when you come back this time?"

"Have a good time outside, and don't forget to honor your mother. It's not easy for your mother to pull you down."

"Su Ming's mother, your son is going to be successful. I see he came back in a big car. You are really enjoying yourself now." An old lady said with a smile.

They chatted a few words, asking Su Ming where he worked now, if he had a girlfriend, how much money he made in a month, and other topics. It was all commonplace chatter. Su Ming didn't talk about starting a company. He couldn't explain it in one sentence or two, so he just said he was running errands with the director at the zoo.

"That's the leader's secretary. He has a bright future! No wonder he can drive such a good car!"

Mother Su was pulled aside by the third aunt from the house next door. The two of them were talking in low voices, and looked at Su Ming with a smile from time to time.

As soon as Su Ming saw their expressions, he guessed what they were talking about, and it was hard to tell. He pulled his old mother and greeted everyone with a smile, and then came to the front of his father's grave.

"Lao Su, it's been another year. Today my son is back and I'm coming to see you."

Mother Su squatted in front of the grave and burned paper. Her husband had been dead for many years and she was used to living alone. She didn't cry bitterly or anything like that. Instead, she talked to the people in the grave as if they were chatting at home.

"Don't worry, my son is outside now. Everything is fine. He has a stable job and can make money..."

"I'm just worried about his life-long affairs. All the young men like him in this town have partners, and some of them are married..."

"My son is very filial. Don't worry down here. I live a very little life. I am in good health and in a good mood..."

"You have to wish your son that everything is safe and smooth. You don't want him to be rich, but he just wants to live a healthy and happy life."

These words are not so much meant for the dead as they are for Su Ming.

After visiting the grave, I went home, took everything outside the house into the house, even the broom and dustpan could not be left outside, and then closed the door. This means that even if this year is over, if there are any bad things, it will end today.

Tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, when we open our doors again, it will be a brand new year!

It looked like it was only three o'clock in the afternoon. Su Ming had a small family, so he didn't need to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. After closing, the house was busy, so Su Ming simply took out a pair of poker cards and said, "Anyway, we have nothing to do. Playing cards?"

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a cry of "meow meow meow..." coming from the back room. It wasn't the usual lazy or coquettish sound, it was just a scream!

"Are you about to give birth?" Su's mother put down the poker in her hand and walked back as she said this, followed by Su Ming and Su Meng.

Entering the room, I saw the white cat leaning pitifully on the nest, its belly bulging, as if it was breathing heavily. Every time it gasped, it would lower its head to look at its big belly in a somewhat anthropomorphic manner. Belly, looking at a loss.

Seeing Su Ming and the others come in, the little white cat seemed to have seen a savior. It raised its head vigorously, looked at them and meowed for help.

PS: Outbreaks always occur inadvertently~

The uniform ordering has finally reached the standard. Thanks to everyone’s hard work, I have kept my promise, ten updates!

But when I wrote it, it was always three thousand and one chapter, so I didn’t distinguish it. In the past, it was two thousand words and one chapter, and twenty thousand words. This time there are seven chapters, with an average of 3,000 words, which must be more than 20,000 words.
