Grandma Xin Ya’s home is actually in the mountains of Baoding, Hebei. When we walked into the village, it was getting late. As Xin Ya said, we had been struggling for almost a whole day.

This is a thin old lady with a hooked nose, drooping eyes, and a gloomy face. She seemed to be no longer seeing the sun all day, giving people a feeling of discomfort. But when she saw Xin Ya, she was very happy and greeted us very enthusiastically. She also said that she had lived alone in the past few years. Xin Ya's uncle has been to the city and never came back once a year. It is rare for Xin Ya to come back to see her.

As she spoke, grandma was still smiling and kept looking at me. She felt so sad that she felt so angry that she thought to herself, why didn’t she stare at Xiaobai?

People say that they are old and mature, but it is true.

There were still a few days before the New Year. Grandma didn't prepare anything at all, but our sudden arrival caught her off guard. She prepared a room for us inside and out, and arranged to get New Year's goods, but she didn't need it. We had already bought a lot of things on the way to come, which was enough for a sumptuous and lively New Year.

My grandma's home is actually an old thatched hut with two rooms, a kitchen in the middle, and it was disrepaired, and half of it had collapsed a little. It was supported by thick wood. When I entered the house, there was a smell of mold, which was a very difficult to describe. Moreover, the light in the house was very dark and the air seemed to be circulating. It was a bit awkward to stay here.

However, the equipment is quite clean. In fact, we were mentally prepared before we came. An old lady in her countryside is in her seventies. What can she do if she lives by herself?

We immediately started to help clean up and opened the window to let the smell of mold spread. It took us more than an hour to clean up the house.

Next, we lived at grandma's house. It was remote and the people were simple. When we heard that Xin Ya was back, we all came to see her, which made us feel very friendly.

It took three days like this. It was still one day when the year was approaching. Xiaobai had a stomachache and ran to the cottage. It took a long time to come back. I complained that he had fallen into the pit. He told me mysteriously that he had seen something fun just now.

I asked him what he saw, and he said that he had just been squatting in the toilet and saw a man in black in the gap of the wooden board, with a green face and fangs, heading forward from afar. He was curious for a moment and quietly followed the man, but he walked forward all the way through two streets. The man arrived at the door of a house and disappeared in a flash.

I felt a little unbelievable when I heard this. It was a daytime, with green face and fangs. It was obviously either a ghost or a monster. I laughed and scolded: "Did you have diarrhea after eating too much? I have been squatting for a long time. I'm sorry to tell the truth, this is the Chinese New Year, don't talk nonsense."

Xiaobai said anxiously: "It's really good, I can't fool you, I really saw it, and that thing was walking very fast, I finally caught up. Hey, brother, what kind of thing will that be?"

I believed what he said, "I thought about it with a nose and eyes, and thought about it in confusion. I walked quickly and disappeared when I arrived at the door of a house...

I go, it’s not the impermanent ghost who catches the soul and locks the life, right?

Who will be so unlucky during this New Year?

We were wondering, and suddenly there was a noise coming from afar, clamoring. I don’t know what happened, Xiaobai’s eyes lit up, pointed to that direction and shouted: “Yes, I was there just now.”

It seems that something really happened. I had an old problem and got up and wanted to run there. At this time, Xin Ya's voice suddenly came from behind: "I'm having a baby, what are you going to do?"

This sentence made Xiaobai and I stop, looked at each other in a glance, and then looked at Xin Ya, looking embarrassed. I thought it was a haunted, but I didn't expect it to be a child. What are the fun of us two young men?

But Xiaobai wondered, "Sister Xin Ya, how did you know that it was giving birth? I didn't hear any sounds of giving birth."

I slapped him and cursed, "Isn't it nonsense again? Have you ever heard the sound of having a baby?"

Xiaobai shrank his head and said with a smile: "I heard it on TV, the wolf cried and the ghost screamed."

Xin Ya's face was a little awkward, she just shook her head and said, "Don't worry about you two, go into the house to help grandma do work."

Although I was puzzled, I still listened to her and was not surprised that she could know that it was a problem of having a baby. To be honest, even if Xin Ya knew that I would step on shit when I walked next time, I was not surprised.

However, just after we walked into the house for a while, an aunt in her forties ran in panic and shouted, "Grandma Lin, my wife is going to give birth to her. Please take a look."

It was really a child. Xin Ya's grandmother, the woman's grandmother, was slowly making dumplings. She looked up at the woman and said, "Isn't it still more than ten days left? Why is it so fast?"

The woman said anxiously: "Who knows, she suddenly gave birth, there was no sign at all, and the family was confused. Why don't you? Let me come and invite you over..."

Grandma Lin glanced at her again, but continued to lower her head to make dumplings and said, "Now it's all developed, hurry up and find a car to take to the hospital. I'm old and useless."

The woman stamped her feet and said, "Oh, grandma, please help me. I'm going to tell you that it's too late. The baby's head has come out, but, but I've gone back and forth several times, and my wife is almost out of reach."

Grandma Lin still didn't look up, we were all a little anxious. Xin Ya looked at Grandma Lin from the side and screamed softly: "Grandma, why not..."

At this time, Grandma Lin put down her work, sighed, and finally looked up at the woman, saying, "Have you done everything I told your family last time?"

The woman looked a little embarrassed and said, "I told her wife, but they may have forgotten that they were young, so I didn't pay attention..."

Grandma Lin moved her mouth, but said nothing. She shook her head slowly, sighed, walked slowly to the wall, took off a red cloth bag, put it in her arms, waved her hand and said, "Since you don't dislike me, I'll go and have a look, but you have to listen to me this time."

The woman nodded hurriedly: "That's that's it, that's what we juniors are ignorant, grandma, don't take it to your heart."

As she spoke, Grandma Lin and the woman walked out. Xin Ya and the others looked at each other and she called out, "I'll go and see it too." After she said that, she followed behind.

Xiaobai rubbed his nose and screamed in Xin Ya's tone: "I'll go and have a look, too."

As he said that, he actually ran away. I scratched my head and saw that the woman was already panicked and didn't care about Xiaobai. I thought about it in my heart that there are taboos to have children. Since the situation is urgent now, I'll go and have a look. At worst, I won't come in...

We ran out. The village was not big. Although it was two streets, we actually walked there in just three or two minutes. After arriving at the house, we heard the shouts of women coming from the house. It sounded very painful. Xiaobai was happy and said to me quietly: "Brother, how are you? I just said that the wolf was crying, right?"

I glared at him and told him not to talk nonsense. Then I saw Grandma Lin walking to the house, but did not go directly into the house. Instead, she stood at the door and looked at it, suddenly pointed to the threshold and said, "Come on, cut the threshold first."

The family was confused after hearing this. I didn’t understand. If you can’t give birth to a baby, why should you cut the threshold?

Grandma Lin said something and no one moved, her face darkened. The family hurried to find an axe and began to cut the threshold.

Xiaobai and I were naturally standing outside, and no one went in. Only Xin Ya and Grandma Lin walked in together. Then they saw Grandma Lin looking up and looking around, stretching out her hand to calculate, and suddenly pointed in a direction and said, "Last time, I asked you not to move scissors randomly. If you don't listen, are you nailing the nails again this time?"

The woman said with a bitter face: "I built a wall cabinet last month, but I had some nails."

Grandma Lin snorted, "Pull out the nails quickly. You are offending the fetal evil, do you know?"

After she said this, someone hurried to tear off the cabinet. In order to have a child smoothly, let alone tear off the cabinet, it is probably nothing to tear off the house.

Next, Grandma Lin suddenly picked up a broom in the corner and walked into the inner room with Xin Ya. I suddenly couldn't see anything. After a while, Grandma Lin's voice came from inside.

"Please retreat and protect the mother and son from peace."

She said three times in a row and then stopped. Then there was another messy sound inside. After a while, the cry of the baby suddenly came.

I was relieved inexplicably and seemed to be happy as well. Grandma Lin is really capable, and she solved it in just a few seconds.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the woman's voice burst into anger.
