Zhang Jinbao quickly took Shen Man home.
Lin Qingyan was still pondering Shen Man's identity.
After autumn arrived, the educated youth spread out a meadow on the stones in the courtyard, and she found a nearby spot to sit down.
At this moment, Hu Jiajia came out of the house and asked her, "I think I heard that comrade's wife was about to give birth, and he asked you to help deliver the baby, right? But why didn't you go? Instead, Shen Zhiqing went. Does Shen Zhiqing know how to deliver babies?" She frowned, "I remember Shen Zhiqing saying that she went to work as a nanny after finishing junior high school. She didn't study medicine. How could she suddenly know how to deliver babies?"
Lin Qingya shook her head: "I don't know either."
She recalled how Shen Man had observed the other new educated youth when she first arrived at the settlement. At the time, she thought Shen Man was looking for valuable jewelry on them, but now it seemed that Shen Man's purpose was not as simple as wanting money.
Oh right, she remembered another part of the novel's plot, which was at the end when Tong Jiaojiao revealed that Shen Man died of a terminal illness two years after being sent to the countryside.
Since Shen Man will die of uremia two years later, it is impossible for her to have studied medicine during those two years in the countryside. Therefore, it can be concluded that Shen Man is not a reborn person.
Then she can only be a time traveler.
Transmigrators usually possess a cheat ability, but so far, she hasn't found any trace of one on Shen Man. Shen Man's previous observation of them was probably because she wanted to obtain a space through some object.
Because if space exists, it is usually stored in some ancient accessories, which explains Shen Man's previous actions.
Shen Man wanted to gain space through accessories, but it wasn't that easy.
However, Shen Man's special status as a time traveler means she might get a cheat code someday.
She waited and saw, knowing that Shen Man could never take away her golden finger.
Another point is that Shen Man said she only delivers babies, so in modern times she would be an obstetrician-gynecologist, just like herself, who studied medicine.
Hu Jiajia sat with her for a while, then said, "I don't know if Shen Man can deliver the baby smoothly. Don't pretend to know what you don't and delay her further."
Lin Qingyan wasn't sure if Shen Man would definitely be able to do it. Even among professional gynecologists, there are varying levels of professional competence.
She called to Hu Jiajia, "Where does that guy live? Why don't we go check it out?"
If Shenman really can't make it, we can't delay the mother and child's recovery.
“Okay, I know where Zhang Jinbao’s house is. Let’s go together.”
Hu Jiajia quickly got up; she was just about to go out and join in the fun.
The two of them left the educated youth settlement and went straight to the Zhang family's house.
Zhang Family
Zhang Jinbao's wife, Tian Cuie, was suffering terribly from childbirth while lying on the kang (a heated brick bed). Shen Man had been there for almost half an hour, but she still couldn't deliver the baby.
She herself was covered in sweat.
The baby in Tian Cuie's belly was breech. She pressed on Tian Cuie's belly a few times, and Tian Cuie screamed in pain, but the baby's position was not turned.
If it were a modern operating room, with all sorts of advanced medical equipment and the assistance of other medical staff, she would have operated on Tian Cuie.
Who told us to live in the awful 1970s? Not only did we lack advanced medical equipment, but we were also in a backward rural area where everything was lagging behind.
Seeing his wife suffering and unable to give birth, Zhang Jinbao was so worried about the mother and child that he paced back and forth in the room like an ant on a hot pan, his brows furrowed so tightly they could crush an ant.
Tian Cuie's pitiful screams continued one after another. Shen Man pressed on her stomach again, and Tian Cuie trembled all over in pain, wanting to roll around in agony.
She pestered Shen Man in a low voice, "Shen, Shen Zhiqing, can you really deliver babies?"
When Shen Man was walking with Zhang Jinbao, Zhang Jinbao promised her that if she successfully delivered the baby, he would give her a one-yuan red envelope, which is the standard price for midwives in their area, and also give her ten eggs.
She was very confident in herself. After examining Tian Cuie's body, she assured Tian Cuie and Zhang Jinbao that she was absolutely fine and would be able to deliver the baby smoothly.
But the current situation is much worse than she originally imagined, and it's getting worse and worse. When she encountered a situation that she couldn't solve in modern times, she would ask the director for help. But who should she go to now?
"I'll try again. Hang in there and try harder."
She said this to Tian Cuie, while her hands kept pushing and rubbing on Tian Cuie's belly, trying to turn the baby into the correct position.
With each push, Tian Cuie felt as if she were walking through the gates of hell, and couldn't help but cry out, "Ah~ Chen Zhiqing, I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore, please think of another way."
Zhang Jinbao walked over and asked Shen Man, "Shen Zhiqing, are you really sure?"
Shen Man had long lost her initial confidence. She gritted her teeth and said, "Comrade, if it doesn't work, then take your wife to the hospital."
She dared not make any more promises. If the delivery failed and something went wrong, it could result in the death of both mother and child. She couldn't bear such a serious consequence.
Zhang Jinbao slapped his thigh in frustration and complained to Shen Man, "If I had known you weren't capable, I would have just taken my wife to the hospital. There would have been no need for all this trouble."
He suddenly thought of Lin Qingyan again, but if even a professional midwife like Shen Man couldn't do it, how could Lin Qingyan, who had only delivered pigs, possibly be any good?
