Zili Wang lay in bed. No matter what, it was still his child. After thinking about it for a night, he finally understood. He felt that his wife, Zhang Xiaohua, must have been very sad last night.
Zhang Xiaohua had a hard life. When she was five or six years old, she fled with her mother. As a result, her mother died on the way. When she came to Xiashan Village, she was lucky enough to meet Old Man Zhang. Old Man Zhang had no children, so he brought Zhang Xiaohua back to his house to raise his daughter. However, the good times did not last long. Old Man Zhang suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage on the ridge of the field, and Zhang Xiaohua became an orphan who had no one to rely on. She grew up relying on the care of her neighbors. She was even introduced to marry Wang Zili, who also had no father or mother. Since she married here, Zhang Xiaohua had been diligent and hardworking, and Wang Zili also doted on her. The two of them lived a good life.
"Wife! I understand now! No matter what, he's still our son. Even if we have to run our legs off and spend all our savings, we have to treat him!”Zili Wang said with a firm belief as he lay next to Zhang Xiaohua early in the morning.
"Wang Zili! I, Zhang Xiaohua, married you!" Hearing Wang Zili's words, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said.
"Wife! When you're out of confinement, we'll leave the village. I don't believe that no one in our country can cure him!”Zili Wang swore in front of Zhang Xiaohua.
The gratification in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes made Zili Wang very happy. He knew that Zhang Xiaohua didn't care about his attitude last night.
"Lie down first. It rained all night last night, so you can't do farm work today. I'll stay at home with you! In a while, I'll get Aunt Huang to come over and make chicken soup for you. The old hens that we raise can finally bring out their light and heat!”Zili Wang looked at Zhang Xiaohua, then at his son who was sleeping soundly, and continued,""We're both uncultured. I'll go to the old secretary's house in a while and ask him to give our child a name!”
"Good!" Zhang Xiaohua smiled and then looked at his son dotingly.
"Then rest well. I'll go next door and find Aunt Huang to make chicken soup!”Zili Wang stood up and walked out.
"I say, Zili! Why are you here so early in the morning?”Aunt Huang, who was cleaning the yard, stopped what she was doing and asked when she saw Zili Wang coming in.
"My wife gave birth last night. I want to ask you to make chicken soup for her!”Zili Wang took a few steps forward and said with a smile.
"If you didn't mention this, I would have forgotten! Don't worry, I'll go over after sweeping the house. Xiao Hua has suffered!”Huang Guiying sighed.
"Thank you!" Wang Zili bowed to Huang Guiying. My wife is in confinement. I don't know how to take care of her as a man. I'll have to trouble you to take care of her!”
"Brat! Who do you think Aunt Huang is? Or do you think that the women of Shangshan Village don't know about your family's situation? Don't worry about this! We've already discussed it. We'll all go to your house and take turns to take care of Xiao Hua's confinement!”
"Aunt Huang! I really don't know what to say!”When Wang Zili heard Huang Guiying's words, tears almost flowed out of his eyes.
"Brat, hurry up and leave. Don't cry in my courtyard!”Huang Guiying raised her broom as she spoke, and Wang Zili quickly ran out.
As soon as they walked out of Aunt Huang's yard, a woman wearing a long dress, a long braid, and a white hair clip walked up to them. This woman was Wang Feng, the first family in the village. Because Wang Feng went to work in the provincial capital after graduating from junior high school, she was dressed more fashionably than other women in the village.
"Hey, isn't this Zili? What are you in a hurry for?" Wang Zili didn't want to pay attention to her and went straight to the old secretary's house, but Wang Feng stopped him.
"Wang Feng! What are you doing?" Wang Zili looked impatient.
"How come you don't recognize me after getting married and having a child?”Wang Feng leaned forward and raised her chest, looking at Zili Wang proudly.
"How can I not know you! You're doing well in the provincial capital! People like us are not worthy of you! That's why I didn't dare to greet you!" Wang Zili didn't look at Wang Feng, but said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Wang Zili! How could you say that! I work in the provincial capital, but we grew up together. Even if we weren't married before, you don't have to say that about me!”Wang Feng was upset when she heard what Zili Wang said. At that time, if his parents hadn't strongly opposed it, Wang Zili's wife would have been Wang Feng.
"Wang Feng! Don't say that! You'd better hurry back! I still have things to do!" Wang Zili went around Wang Feng and walked to the old secretary's house.
Wang Feng didn't stop him this time. Instead, she stomped her feet behind him, looking very angry. Then, she glared at Wang Zili, turned around, and walked back to her home.
"Is the old Secretary at home?" Wang Zili came to the old secretary's house and asked.
"Yes! Here! Who's looking for me?" After a while, a white-haired old man with a tobacco pipe in his hand walked out with a hunched body. This was the old secretary of Shangshan Village, Wang Deshun.
"Old Secretary! It's me!" Wang Zili quickly went forward and helped Wang Deshun sit under the persimmon tree in the garden.
"It's Zili! Why do you have the time to look for me?" Wang Deshun put the pipe pot in his mouth, and Wang Zili lit a match for Wang Deshun. Wang Deshun took a puff and said,
"Old Secretary, you're the only one with a high level of education in the village. My wife gave birth to a fat boy last night. I want you to give my son a name!”Wang Zili quickly explained his intentions.
Wang Deshun didn't say anything and smoked quietly. Wang Zili thought that Wang Deshun knew that his son was blind and mute, so he didn't want to name him.
"Wait a moment!" As he spoke, Wang Deshun knocked the pipe pot on the sole of his shoe and then went back to the house. Wang Zili was stunned in the same place.
However, it didn't take long for the old secretary to take out a book from the room. The skin had fallen off, and the whole book was yellowed. It looked very old. He sat in front of Wang Zili, dipped his finger on his tongue, and then began to flip the book. Every page he turned was dipped in saliva.
"Wang Jingxuan, what do you think?”After thinking for a while, Wang Deshun wrote his name on a small piece of paper with the half of a pencil.
"Jingxuan! Very good! I'm very satisfied with the name the old Secretary gave me!”Zili Wang happily took the small piece of paper from the old secretary's hand and carefully folded it into his jacket pocket as if he was taking care of a child.
"As long as you're satisfied!" Wang Deshun also nodded slightly.
"Alright! Old Secretary! I won't disturb you anymore! I still have to go home and take care of my wife!”Zili Wang stood up and bowed to Deshun Wang, who nodded with satisfaction.
"Jingxuan! Wang Jingxuan!" Zili Wang muttered his child's name as he walked.
"Captain Wang, what's the matter?”When he came to the big locust tree, a voice came. Wang Zili looked up and saw that this person was bald, half-naked, with red phoenix eyes, a low nose bridge, and very light eyebrows. Wang Zili saw this person and quickened his pace, but the person ran a few steps and opened his arms to block Wang Zili's way.
"Wang Sheng! What are you doing?" Wang Zili was very disgusted with Wang Sheng, who was idle all day in the village.
"I'm asking you a question! Forget it if you don't answer! You still dare to run!" Wang Sheng leaned over, patted Zili Wang's face with his hand, and then said fiercely.
"Wang Sheng! I don't want to talk to you! I still have things to do!" Zili Wang didn't dare to look at Wang Sheng's eyes. He wanted to leave, but Wang Sheng wouldn't let him go so easily.
"What is it? Why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Sheng stood up straight and looked at Zili Wang with contempt.
"That's also... Nothing much, just... She just wanted to go home and take care of him. Take care of your wife!" Wang Zili lowered his head and whispered.
At this moment, the few people who followed Wang Sheng around all day long also came over. The one with a buzz cut and three moles next to his nose was Wang Qiang. The one standing next to him was half-naked and had his clothes draped over his shoulders. The one with dyed yellow hair was Wang Feng. The other one looked honest and had dark skin. He wore a gray vest and was Wang Ke. These people were Wang Sheng's most loyal lackeys. They often followed Wang Sheng to do some sneaky business.
"Go home and take care of your wife! I heard that your wife gave birth to a big fat boy for you last night!”Wang Qiang went forward and said.
"Yeah! I heard about it too!" Wang Feng added.
"That's right, that's right!" Wang Sheng chimed in." But it's a pity that she gave birth to a blind and mute crippled thing!”As soon as Wang Sheng said this, the few people beside him laughed out loud.
"Broken thing! Hahaha!" The words of Wang Sheng and the others pierced the most vulnerable part of Wang Zili's heart. Wang Zili clenched his fists, and his face turned red. The veins on his forehead bulged. He shouted, rushed forward, and punched Wang Sheng in the face. Wang Sheng never thought that Wang Zili, who had always been submissive to him, would actually hit him.
"Are you guys eating shit? Hit him!" The anger in Wang Sheng's heart suddenly burst out. Wang Qiang and the others knocked Wang Zili to the ground in an instant. Wang Zili lay on the ground with his hands on his head. The few people punched and kicked him again. Finally, under the persuasion of the villagers, they left indignantly.
Although they had left, their words lingered in Zili Wang's mind from time to time, and the feeling of being despised took root in Zili Wang's heart.
