Romanian Eagle

Chapter 223 Baby Boom (Part 1)

The year 1916 arrived, and it is still snowy in Romania, but people still need to run for a living.

Galati, a city between the mouths of the Prut and Siret rivers, is also the last Romanian city where the Danube enters the estuary swamp. It was an important port of the Roman Empire in ancient times, and it gradually developed by exporting grain and wood.

In this city, people who need work get up before dawn. Among them, Butovino also left the warm bed and got up early.

"Butovino, you got up so early. If you don't accompany your wife and children to take a rest, today is Sunday."

The landlord, Dodemet, looked at Butovino with a tired face and asked in surprise.

Butovino washed his face with the cold water to wake himself up, and said to the landlord with a smile. "Today I still need to go out and find a day laborer, I hope my luck will be better."

After speaking, Butovino turned his head and glanced at his dark room, as if he could clearly see his sleeping wife and children, a happy smile appeared on his face.

The landlord Dodemet's reaction to Butovino was not surprising at all, and he did the same. However, his son went to university in Bucharest. When the school was on winter vacation some time ago, his son came back and preached that the kingdom needs to protect all Romanian people, and they should not be oppressed abroad. As a member of the Romanian kingdom, he should also go out a force.

So I plan to go to the nearest region of Bessarabia and spread this idea to the oppressed Romanian people there. This made the landlord very angry, and he was scolding his son in the face. But in the end, it is a young man, how can I let Lao Tzu slander his ideals, so the two father and son quarrel, and no one will persuade you. But in the end, it was Mr. Landlord who held the financial power of his son, so the enthusiastic young man did not go anywhere, and was locked in the room for the entire winter vacation.

It was not until recently that school was about to start that Dodemet was released and sent to the school in person. No, the landlord, Mr. Duodemette, just came back by train, and when he met Butovino, he said hello, and prepared to go back to the house to sleep to ease the hardship of the trip.

Butovino was about to go back to the room to get a coat after washing, but just as he was taking the coat lightly, his wife Utsdona suddenly spoke up. "Dono, don't you take a break today? You're already so tired at the lumber mill, and you have to go out to find work after a long break."

Hearing his wife's voice, Butovino said softly. "You're awake."

"Yeah, I woke up while you were chatting with the landlord.

"

"You also know that we have a lot of family now, and we can't support the little guy in the family if we don't work hard to earn money. Besides, you just finished the operation, and I also need to earn some money to earn back the medical expenses."

Butovino had a happy smile on his face as he spoke of the little guy, who has three children with his wife. Among them, the newborn son was sent to the hospital for a caesarean section because of his wife's dystocia so that the mother and child could be safe. But the operation took half of the family's savings, so Butovino decided to find odd jobs during his vacation.

"It's really my fault, if not..."

Butovino stepped forward to stop his wife's words with his hand, he said. "It's not anyone's fault, it's God's will. Besides, we just lost a sum of money, and when we recover, we can easily make it back. Crutch and Kirstina (eldest son and second daughter) We're still waiting for us to go back to our hometown to see them."

Butovino's words made his wife smile happily, and she raised her pillow and said to her husband. "My milk is not enough, so I need to buy some milk powder for my child."

Hearing his wife's words, Butovino froze in his heart, but he still said without changing his face. "I'll bring a can when I come back from work today."

After comforting his wife, Butovino walked out of the door and sighed inwardly. Now the price of a can of milk powder is not cheap. General milk powder costs 9 lei a can, and good milk powder can reach 2 or 30 lei. When my eldest son was born a few years ago, the price was only 3.5 lei a can. Especially in the past two years, the price of baby supplies has risen rapidly, as if every family is giving birth to children.

Butovino just complained, and now his life is still very satisfactory to him. Only he and his wife need to work to support a family of five, and to subsidize their parents who are still working at home in their old age. And you can save some savings, and you can buy a house in the city and have a nest of your own in the future.

In three decades of Butovino's knowledge, there has been no better life than now. You must know that when he was a child, it was very difficult for him and his sister to be supported by farming parents in their old home. They often starved because of food shortages. Now, as long as you work hard, you can feed your family and get your kids to go to school. In Butovino's mind, this is what the old priest in the village called paradise, a world without hunger.

Butovino saw that the sky was starting to light up, walked out of the house he rented, and walked through an alley to the street. There is a bus stop two hundred meters to the left of the alley, where you only need 5-20 barneys (100 barneys = 1 lei) to get to where you want to go. It happened that Butovino was going to do odd jobs, right next to one of the platforms. Butovino hurried to the bus stop to wait for the bus.

Before Butovino waited long, the bus came. He squeezed into the car with the crowd, and when he walked to the conductor, the fat conductor looked at every passenger who got on the bus with sharp eyes. Butovino knew what the conductor meant, and he quickly handed her the 15 Barney coins he had prepared. And quickly say your destination.

"I got off at the National First Hospital Station."

Twenty minutes later, Butovino stood on the bus stop of the First National Hospital. He wiped his sweaty forehead and strode forward to the First National Hospital of Galati. This part-time job was introduced by a friend in his hometown to help the hospital build a new medical building.

The National First Hospital has always been the best hospital in Galati County. Every time the government has any health funds, it will think of giving it to the National First Hospital first. So much so that the director of the Second National Hospital yelled at the health department meeting that the Second National Hospital was not under the jurisdiction of Galati. It's no use just scolding, the funds that should be given to the National First Hospital are still a lot, and the rest is allocated to the National Second Hospital.

Now Butovino is going to work here for a day to earn some living expenses to support the family. ()
