平洼村的许灵妹近日临产，这可忙坏了娘家人。
秋后，灵妹的男人火娃跟着村人去了南方打工。火娃出门后不久，灵妹就打电话告诉火娃，她怀孕了。说到生孩子，灵妹高兴得不行，火娃这个可怜的孤儿终于有后了。火娃电话里再三安抚媳妇：“刚出来不到三个月，这个年我不回去过了，把假攒着，临产时无论多忙，我一准回去陪你。”前天灵妹肚子疼，赶紧打过去电话，火娃答应得好好的：“我马上请假，这就回去。”听说南方大雨成灾，灵妹担心他遇到阻隔回不来，于是第二天又打电话，火娃的手机却打不通了，说是欠费停机。灵妹便急了，火娃的其他同伴的电话又不知道，这让她如何是好？
灵妹肚子疼得不行，娘家哥嫂见火娃一时半会儿也赶不回来，赶紧和村人一起把灵妹抬出山外，送到了县妇幼保健医院。
医生检查后说，灵妹是高龄产妇，需要尽早做剖腹产。可一直神情恍惚的灵妹这时睁开眼，说：“不忙。火娃答应我的，他正往回赶呢。”身边的人以为她指的是起初电话里说好的事，就劝她：“别等了，他就是在路上，但孩子不能等吧。”可灵妹就是不听。
已经到了入院第三天傍晚，医生警告，再不手术，可能要出人命。住院处通知要续3000元押金，家里没多余的钱，火娃人没回来，灵妹哥哥在县城也是举目无亲，灵妹急得直哭：“他这人是怎么啦？当面跟我答应得好好的，怎么这样磨磨蹭蹭？”大家说，灵妹这是发高烧说胡话，她啥时候能当面去跟火娃说事呢？还是先求医院通融一下，先手术着，这边赶紧凑钱，肚子里外两条命呢，马虎不得呀。
正在这关键时刻，火娃一身泥浆一脸疲惫地赶了过来，他胳膊肘上还带着一条巴掌长的伤疤，鲜红鲜红的。
“你咋才来呀！”灵妹悲喜交加，“我都快撑不住了。你那胳膊肘是咋的啦？”
火娃说，胳膊磕了一下，没大碍的。工程正在要命的关头，老板不给假。他一气之下不辞而别。可是，车到半路遇上湖坝决堤发洪水，淹了好多乡镇，路也断了。这工夫，一艘救援百姓的冲锋舟把他捎到了对岸安全区。上岸后，他又搭乘了一辆拖拉机，找到了火车站。“那拖拉机机主太黑了，十来里的路，宰我50块钱。要不是遇上这等急事，我无论如何也得找地方说道说道。”
灵妹笑了：“那你是怎么知道直接来这里的？”火娃说：“我迷迷瞪瞪感觉听到你说的呀，反正车子先到县城，就过来试试看。”这时，医生来催促手术。火娃在手术单上签了字，又听说住院费的事，就从贴身处掏出了一个存折，连同身份证交给大舅兄：“这事你办吧，里面不到六千块钱，取五千。我要困死了。密码是我和灵妹的生日，921316。”说罢，他趴在灵妹的床上迷糊过去。
这边灵妹被推进了手术室。鬼怪吧：
一个小时后，灵妹的哥哥交完费用，满头大汗地跑回来对火娃说，自己差点儿让人给逮起来。原来，到了储蓄窗口，工作人员提醒他：“按密码。”他就按照妹夫说的，按了921316。可是里面的工作人员再次提醒他：“确认。”意思是还要按一下确认键。他从没用过这种东西，以为对方问他密码是不是确认了呢，就理直气壮地回答：“当然确认，不确认我能取钱吗？”这一反常举动引起了工作人员的警觉，不大工夫，保安来请他了，进到经理室好一通解释，又跟他们村长通了电话，才知道是一场误会。
这时，护士抱着一个婴儿走出了手术室，报喜道：“男孩儿，母子平安。”火娃将孩子接过，说：“怪稀罕人的，挺像我。”火娃抱了抱婴儿，护士说还得洗一下，又把孩子要了过去，进了另一房间。这边，灵妹也被推出了手术室。
没过多久，护士把孩子送到病房，让灵妹母乳喂养。大家四处一看，嘿，火娃这当爹的怎么不见人影了？
灵妹抱着孩子亲了再亲，说：“别理他，当了爹端臭架子呢。我前天去催他回来，他跟我说老板不给假。后来，我好一通吵骂，他才不吱声了。”
怎么回事呀？娘家哥嫂好生奇怪，灵妹怎么可能去催火娃回来，这是麻药劲没过，说胡话吧？大伙追问灵妹到底咋回事，灵妹一会儿说她去跟火娃吵架了，一会儿又说可能是做梦吧，吓得大家赶紧找医生开了点镇静药，灵妹才安静地睡了。
灵妹睡着了，这边左等右等，火娃还是没有影子。莫不是他打工那地方活儿忙，又悄悄回去了？大舅兄想办法找到跟火娃一起打工的伙伴的电话，打过去，对方的回答却把他吓了个半死：“火娃在医院里呢。他为老婆生孩子的事跟老板请假，可老板没准假。当天下午他就从脚手架上摔了下来，没检查出哪个地方摔坏了，可就是到现在还昏迷不醒，大约成了植物人。他的手机没钱了，刚巧人摔了，就没来得及充值。”
大舅兄大吃一惊，关键时刻，妹夫摔成植物人了，这可怎么办？那么刚才是谁回来交的住院费，还抱了抱刚出生的娃娃？而灵妹说跟火娃吵嘴了，也让人毛骨悚然的……跟老婆商量，不敢让妹妹知道实情，干脆悄悄过去看看吧。大舅兄立刻简单收拾了一下，赶到了火娃治病的医院。
来到医院，火娃的工友们兴高采烈：“火娃醒过来了，啥事没有！”
这是怎么搞的嘛！大舅兄进入病房，火娃躺在病床上，他胳膊肘上确实有条巴掌长的伤疤，不过已经结了痂。火娃一见大舅兄进门，就笑了：“你说你，连个密码确认都不会按，差点儿让人给逮起来。”
大舅兄一听，头皮立刻发麻：火娃一直在医院里躺着，密码的事是怎么知道的？这到底是咋回事啊？就问：“火娃，你见过你儿子啦？”
谁知火娃又犯起了迷糊，说好像灵妹来骂过他，他确实往家里赶，却没了路，然后搭的冲锋舟，还被拖拉机宰去50块钱。最后说，见着孩子啦，母子平安。“孩挺稀罕人的，像我。可是，我怎么回来的呢？记不准了。”火娃说着，从贴身处掏出那个存折，都快折得有些变了形。大舅兄打开一看，两眼瞪得溜圆：就是生孩子那天，取走了5000块钱，还有50块钱的手续费！
