"How long have you been in there? Why hasn't the baby been born yet? Could something have really happened?"
"Bah! You're such a jerk, you keep yelling all day! Giving birth is not like taking a shit, how can it be that quick? It's normal for it to take a little longer."
"What's the matter with that? I have a bad mouth and you have a bad mouth! I didn't say that on purpose. I'm just worried! I'm worried! Do you understand?"
"I understand! How could I not understand? You are just afraid that Li Pozi will come to trouble us after she wakes up! What a coward! There are so many of us, are you still afraid of a stinky woman like her?"
"I'm afraid, but aren't you afraid too? Just now, when Mrs. Li was blocking the door and not letting us get close to Wang Chunling, if you weren't afraid, why didn't you rush over? In the end, it was Captain Lu's wife who stood up. Bah, with your courage, you're not as good as Xiaolan."
"you--"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. There's someone giving birth in the room. You two are making a fuss here. Be quiet and listen to the noise. Is there any sound of a baby crying? Is the baby born?"
A group of sisters-in-law were pacing back and forth outside the door, feeling anxious and angry. They almost started quarreling. Fortunately, someone persuaded them and they did not really quarrel.
The topic eventually turned to the children, and the sisters-in-law fell silent one by one, all pricking up their ears to listen to the sounds.
Some people even put their ears directly against the wooden door, looking so focused and serious.
At this moment, a cry of "Wa——" came from the house. It was the unique cry of a baby, like a stone falling on the calm lake, instantly stirring up countless splashes of water.
"It's born! It's born! Wang Chunling is born!"
"The baby is crying, that means it's okay! He's finally born!"
"Is it a boy or a girl? Let's take a look, let's take a look!"
The sisters-in-law had a natural desire for children. As soon as they heard the baby crying, they hurried into the house and for a moment forgot about Wang Chunling who had worked hard to give birth.
They pushed the door open and just as they raised their right foot, a figure appeared and blocked their way.
Chen Fengying held the door tightly with both hands, her face solemn, and she showed no excitement at all about seeing the birth of the child.
"Stand back, the operation is not over yet, none of you are allowed to come in."
"The baby has been born? Why won't you let us in, Chen Fengying—"
Bang!
The answer given to the sisters-in-law outside the door was the sound of a door slamming loudly, which almost made them feel disappointed.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the house was still depressing and heavy, and it did not become lighter at all because Chu Yue saved the child.
Just because - Wang Chunling was bleeding heavily.
Wang Chunling has been bleeding since she gave birth, but the amount of bleeding at that time was normal and controllable.
With the long delivery and the birth of the child, Wang Chunling lost her strength, her body became weaker and weaker, and the wound could not be healed at all.
The quilt that was originally placed under Wang Chunling was almost stained red by the bright red blood, a large area of blood.
Also dyed red was Chu Yue.
Her hands were covered in blood, her clothes were stained with dark red blood, and some blood splattered on her fair face.
Huang Aifang and Chen Fengying, who were standing nearby, wrapped the baby in a small cotton-padded jacket. They looked up and saw the shocking scene, and gasped.
This person is still at the gates of hell, what can I do? !
"Comrade Chu...Comrade Chu, can Chunling be saved?" Huang Aifang asked with a trembling voice.
Chu Yue's hands never stopped. She stuffed handfuls of gauze onto the bleeding site. Her eyes were determined. "Yes! I definitely can! I will definitely save her! She didn't even have time to see the newborn baby."
The smell of blood filled the simple house, weighing heavily on everyone's heart like a huge rock.
Time passed quickly and another two hours passed, which was even longer than the previous childbirth.
Chen Fengying stayed beside Chu Yue to help, cleaning the blood-stained gauze, handing her scissors, wiping her sweat and so on.
Huang Aifang held the baby and washed him, cleaning off all the blood and sticky liquid, and then put him in the swaddle that Wang Chunling had prepared early in the morning.
Such a small baby seemed to know that her mother was struggling between life and death. Apart from the first few cries, she slept quietly afterwards.
With Chu Yue's unremitting efforts, the bleeding was finally blocked and the incision was sutured bit by bit.
After doing all this, Chu Yue let out a long breath, put down the last pair of surgical forceps, straightened up and tapped her stiff lower back.
Finally...it's done.
Chu Yue said, "Give me clean hot water."
Chen Fengying immediately brought over the basin of steaming water.
Chu Yue took off her plastic gloves and soaked them in warm water to wash the blood off her wrists. After drying them briefly, she walked to Wang Chunling and checked her breathing and pulse.
Very faint, but steady rhythm.
Seeing that Chu Yue hadn't said anything for a long time, Chen Fengying was worried for a long time, and then she asked carefully, "Comrade Chu, is Chunling okay?"
Chu Yue withdrew her hand and raised her eyes. "It's okay for now. She will wake up when her body recovers."
Chen Fengying and Huang Aifang looked at each other, and the worries that had been suppressed for so long were finally put aside. They couldn't help laughing, and then... as they laughed, their eyes became red without them noticing.
It’s not easy…it’s really not easy.
Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for women. Wang Chunling was almost taken away by the Black and White Impermanence, but was finally pulled back by Chu Yue.
Everything is settled, but there is still a lot to do.
The bedding under Wang Chunling needs to be changed, the baby has no breast milk for the time being, and milk powder and bottles need to be prepared. There are a lot of things to do.
These words and things are what Li Jinhua, as the mother-in-law, should do. Not to mention that Li Jinhua is not here now, even if she were still here, she wouldn't have the heart to do so.
Fortunately, the sisters-in-law in the compound are all warm-hearted. They don’t care about these details and will help in any way they can.
Chu Yue explained the follow-up matters, opened the door and walked out.
As soon as she went out, the other sisters-in-law immediately surrounded her.
When they saw it was Chu Yue, the sisters-in-law were a little stunned, thinking that she was Lu Zhanlin's lover, and she had just knocked Li Jinhua unconscious with a knife, which was really fierce.
Not to mention that Chu Yue had a strong smell of blood on her body, which made her even more frightening.
The sisters-in-law looked at Chu Yue with horror in their eyes, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
Fortunately, Chen Fengying followed Chu Yue out, and the sisters-in-law immediately surrounded Chen Fengying in a hurry. How was the child? Was it a girl or a boy? How was it born? Is she okay? Did she suffer? There were endless questions.
Chu Yue was thus left alone. She looked around for Lu Yuanbao.
Xia Xiaolan came over at this time. She was young and timid, but she was the only one who dared to talk to Chu Yue.
"Comrade Chu, is Sister Chunling okay? Is she safe?"
"It's all right for now. The mother's body is severely damaged and very weak. She must rest for a long time and keep up with nutrition, otherwise she will have a root cause of disease. The baby was a little breathless when he was born and may have respiratory problems. Someone must be watching him for the next three days. Otherwise, everything else is fine. They are all alive and well."
Chu Yue could see that Xia Xiaolan was different from other military wives, so she explained it in more detail.
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!"
As Xia Xiaolan spoke, her voice gradually choked up and her eyes turned red. She quickly lowered her head, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and hurriedly looked up and smiled at Chu Yue.
"Comrade Chu, thank you for saving Sister Chunling and her child. You spent so much time and didn't even have lunch. Go eat something and rest. And your son..." Xia Xiaolan pointed to a corner of the yard. "I gave him food at noon, but he just refused to take it and didn't say a word. He just sat there alone. Go check on him and don't let him get hungry."
Your son...
Chu Yue was not used to this name, but she still realized that it was referring to Lu Yuanbao.
