"Daya, your mother has given birth, hurry home!"

Qiao Jiang's heart tightened, and Liu Xinyan subconsciously asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

The other person shook his head and said, "I don't know. I've been calling for the whole afternoon, but it seems like the baby hasn't been born yet."

Liu Xinyan froze. The baby hasn’t been born yet, so why is she shouting “born, born”?

"Master, please hurry up." Qiao Jiangxin became more and more impatient.

Normally, her mother should have given birth at the age of fifteen, so how could she give birth early?

The road was not easy to walk on, and the cows could not run. Qiao Jiangxin could not wait any longer, "Xinyan, Brother Gu, I will go back first. Please help me take care of the things."

After Qiao Jiangxin finished speaking, he jumped off the ox cart while the road was going uphill, swung his legs and ran towards home.

In the Qiao family in the north of the village, Liu Afang's groaning sounds could be heard intermittently from inside the house. Brother Qiao Youcai was rubbing his hands anxiously outside. Qin Xue was going in and out with hot water. The atmosphere was very solemn.

"Dad, how's my mom?" Qiao Jiangxin panted heavily, and cried out before she could even utter a word.

Qiao Youcai seemed to have found his backbone, "He hasn't come out yet. It's been an entire afternoon."

"It's already the afternoon, why don't you send him to the health center?" Qiao Jiangxin said as he was about to rush into the house.

Qin Xue grabbed her and said, "Hey, Jiang Xin, don't go in. You haven't been there before. Be careful not to scare yourself.

Don't worry, Grandma Tao said everything is fine, the fetus is in a normal position, it's just that the time has not come yet, otherwise we would have sent the baby to the town long ago. ”

Qin Xue thought the same as most traditional people. At that time, transportation conditions were poor, medical conditions were also poor, and newborns and women who had just given birth were at their weakest and could not be exposed to the wind.

If we take it to the clinic, drag it on a bullock cart, and then bring it back against the wind, if it gets seriously cold, it could be fatal. The risk is too great.

As long as the delivery conditions permit, most women give birth at home at this time, and then take a strict confinement period after giving birth.

Those who are well-off and valued by their families, by the time they go out and see the light of day again, most of them have already finished their confinement.

Of course, many people with poor conditions or harsh family conditions may go out to work before completing the confinement period.

In the eyes of Qin Xue and Qiao Youcai, Liu Afang is the first type and should be strictly guarded and kept at home.

"I'm not afraid. I'll go in and take a look." Qiao Jiangxin broke free from Qin Xue and walked inside.

"Hey, why don't you listen?"

Qin Xue was afraid that Qiao Jiangxin would see it and would be traumatized by the prospect of getting pregnant and having children, so she followed him in quickly.

Seeing that Qiao Jiangxin looked fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, how are you?" Qiao Jiangxin ran to Liu Afang and asked.

Without waiting for Liu Afang to speak, Qiao Jiangxin turned to Qin Xue and said, "Aunt, ask my dad to move the stove outside in and light a brazier."

Liu Afang's lower body was basically empty, with her feet arched and covered with a quilt, but not tucked in. Because Mrs. Tao checked on her from time to time, Liu Afang's hair was soaked with sweat and her lower body was shivering from the cold.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Qin Xue turned around and left, feeling a little regretful that she hadn't noticed this.

After a while, Qiao Youcai came in carrying a stove, and Qin Xue also brought a brazier.

Qiao Youcai put down the stove and stammered to Liu Afang, "Afang, I'm waiting outside. Don't be afraid. Do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Liu Afang said weakly, "Didn't we just eat? Get out now."

"Okay, okay, I'll go out right away. Just call me if you need me." Qiao Youcai shrank his neck and looked back every few steps.

"Mrs. Tao, what happened?" Qiao Jiangxin asked.

Grandma Tao washed her hands and checked Liu Afang again, comforting her, "There's nothing wrong. The fetus is in the right position and is doing well. Besides, this isn't Afang's first child, so it's fast. She'll be able to give birth soon."
