Once Young - CH 1.4
I’m stupid, so I can’t tell when my memory started like Xiaochuan. Maybe it’s because Qin Chuan has been making troubles all the time, so my childhood came to me, and I couldn’t figure out which ones belonged to him and which belonged to me.
My dad said that since 1980, the beds in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital have become extremely crowded. On each bed, there are two pregnant women with big belly lying upside down. From a distance, they look like a line of watermelons.
Qin Chuan was born ten days before me, and his mother and my mother were lying on the same delivery bed.
It is said that the two of us fought tirelessly before we were born. Before giving birth, we kicked each other across two layers of belly. We started fighting on the day of the full moon, arching each other when we could crawl, pushing each other when we could walk, and when we could run chasing each other, teasing each other when they can talk… It just didn’t stop for a while.
My mother said, this is called an enemy.
Qin Chuan is an outlier in our yard, because he is the only one who is not an only child, and has a sister who is two years older than him.
When Aunt Yao was pregnant with Qin Chuan, there was no such educational and funny sketch as “Super Life Guerilla”. The family planning policy was serious and irresistible. Aunt Yao’s latex factory and the Hutong Marital problems of middle-aged men with wives. But until the two got married after falling in love, Aunt Yao still didn’t abort the child, and watched as her stomach grew bigger day by day.
At that time, Uncle Qin didn’t have a formal job. My grandmother said that he was a stubborn boss in the alley since he was a child. Aunt Yao is a good young woman of Genhong Miaozheng, so the two groups started from her. Director Zhao of the neighborhood committee said that if you have one more child, the household registration cannot be solved. The leader of the factory said that the government under the text, supersheng will be from public office! But Aunt Yao didn’t talk so much, she just said over and over again, I want to give birth!
So although these two groups of people were extremely persevering, they still failed to stop Qin Chuan’s birth.
The child who came out after a long time was not called the name Qin Chuan at first. Uncle Qin gave him an unforgettable name. If you look back, there are ancient people in the past with the same name, but there will be no one in the future with this name. That is: Emperor Qin Shihuang!!!
My mother said that when I was in the hospital, everyone knew that there was a child named Qin Shihuang. He’s too famous to not know.
When holding Qin Chuan, Uncle Qin can’t help showing off with joy: “My son, Qin Shihuang, has a handle!”
When breastfeeding , Uncle Qin would say distressed: “Qin Shihuang, don’t bite your mother!”
When changing diapers, Uncle Qin would hiss: “Qin Shihuang can eat and pull!”
… … … …
You can imagine how many black lines were formed on each person’s head in the Concord Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at that time.
In this way, Aunt Yao endured without a word for seven days. On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Aunt Yao picked up Qin Chuan, held his small hand and waved to the pregnant women: “Qin Chuan, say goodbye to the aunties!”
Qin Chuan was forced to snort and shake his chubby little wrist. The whole ward was silent. Uncle Qin said, “Wei Hong, what do you call our son?”
Aunt Yao said lightly, “Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan from 800 miles away.”
Since then, Qin Shuihuang has become history, and Qin Chuan has made his debut.
Basically, most people have long forgotten the name Qin Shihuang. Only I remember clearly, every time I fight with Qin Chuan, I will at the end, use this trump card and shout Qin Shihuang with a hoarse voice, then turn my head and run away. Qin Chuan ran after me with a blushing face and gritted teeth. The two of us were able to run halfway through the alley, and the outcome was a mixed bag. And every time I was rescued, it was either Brother Xiaochuan or Qin Chuan’s sister, Qin Qian.
