Chapter 4: Beer Belly Out

Speaking of Pang's home, Pang's Dad, Pang You Cai is an elementary school teacher. At that time, there were not many people know how to read so Pang You Cai became a private tutor for elementary student, holding a salary of several Yuan a month. Pang's dad was the youngest in the family. There are three brothers and two sisters, although he works as teacher, at that time being teacher is the most unpopular work because the salary was so low. 

Because of this when he hit 20 years old; he was not yet married when all his brothers and sisters were married. He only got to married Pang's mother, Lin Cui, when he was 27 years through wedding matchmaker but some people say he beg Pang Xia's mother to married him.

Pang Xia's mother came to live in Pang's household together with the first three Pang's daughter in law and also two of Pang You Cai's sisters and their sons. Pang Xia's mother, Lin Cui even gave birth to three daughters but the third daughter died a few days after she was born due to heart disease. Pang father's oldest sister-in-law like to talk about Lin Cui behind her back saying that in this lifetime she will never give birth to a son and they only stopped after giving birth to Pang Xia. 

The only person in the family who protect Pang's mother is Pang's grandmother. When she saw how the two oldest daughter in law behavior towards Lin Cui, she privately teach her youngest daughter in law saying good people are easily deceived by people, you have to be pungent, after that they will never dare to provoke you.

Due to the old lady teaching, Pang's mother personality becomes more formidable. If you do not provoke her, she will give you a smile three times a day but once you provoke her she can hang on to your house and smashed your door for three days and nights. The three children were much beaten by her and Pang's father never interferes on how she disciplined them.

No matter how things used to be, grandmother wished has been fulfilled. After two years, Pang Xia was born, a big chubby baby weight eight pounds with white tender handsome appearance. After decades of being a private tutor, Pang's father has become a full time teacher after the change of national policy in the country. With this his salary rose to thousands yuan and a month later his eldest daughter, Pang Yuan graduate from college and works as an accountant in the county office. She just got married last year and married to his college sweetheart, Wang Chao, who works as a technician in a small company.

 The second daughter, Pang Jing graduated from normal school last year and was admitted to a high school as a language teacher in the county. She took over her dad's class. Now Pang's mother greatest wishes are that Pang Yuan can give her a big fat grandson. She is already fifty and Pang Dad is almost sixty years old, it's time to be grandparents.

It's just Mama Pang think that she will not get a grandson, but this year she gets two grandchildren, a boy and a girl. However the birth of the twins did not come from her daughter but from his most beloved and obedient son, Pang Xia! That's right; these two children are really born from the belly of her Pang Xia, born in October.

When Pang Xia was found pregnant, it was in August. At first everyone didn't care too much. It was just that person was crazily active gradually became lazy and sleepy. When he came home half a month ago, he was fat. When Pang Xia's two sisters saw this they tease him and laughed at his fat belly that looks like a belly of four to five pregnant women belly. Can't it be a young man blessing?

Although it's a bit exaggerated, but Pang Xia really put on weight. Although there was no abdominal muscle in the past, it was good that his body was lean and flat. But he didn't know when did this started. Pang Xia's belly began to loosen up. Now when sat on a chair, a belly circle can be seen and it's almost broke the button coat.

On this day, Daddy Pang bought a knife fish back from the vegetable market. He was very pleased to tell Mama Pang that he bought the fish very cheap today. When knife fish is sold in the market in April, it's much better. A fish that caught in a river is much expensive than the one that caught in a pond. Not to mention the swordfish, puffer fish and shad fish had been called the Chinese Yangtze River delicacies. Even it is a few thousand dollars at a high price, as soon as the fishmonger took it out; it will be immediately be robbed empty.

The knife fish that Daddy Pang bought is relatively small, the smallest is one or two points, and the biggest is not more than two or two point. Because it is small and also because it is proliferated later, it is so cheap, but this is a very luxurious dish for the Pang's family, especially for the sisters and also Pang Xia.

 Pang Xia who loves to eat fish holds his chopstick and waited patiently for the fish. It was only when Daddy Pang put the dish on the table, and the nearest Pang Xia had done a rather unappetizing thing. He actually started to retching. Later, he seemed to be unable to bear it. He ran to the yard and throw up.
