"Mmm-hmm."
Zhang Lixia nodded through the pain. Lin Qingyan was now her pillar of support, and she believed everything Lin Qingyan said.
Sister Zhang and Yang Qiuyue were also dumbfounded.
They weren't doctors and didn't go to the hospital often, but they could tell that Lin Qingyan's technique was very professional when she corrected Zhang Lixia's baby's position.
Lin Qingyan never mentioned to them that she knew medicine, so they never imagined that she had been a doctor.
Lin Qingyan is skilled in martial arts, capable of killing wild boars; she is also an excellent cook, her dishes are incredibly delicious; and she is also talented, singing even better than the leading performers in the performing arts troupe.
I thought that was already amazing, but I never expected that her specialty was healing the sick and saving lives.
Lin Qingyan massaged Zhang Lixia for nearly half an hour, and the position of the fetus in Zhang Lixia's belly was finally corrected. During this time, Lin Qingyan asked Granny Sun to prepare hot water so that it would be ready at any time.
And have her find the candle and scissors and place them nearby.
Because the commotion here was so great, it attracted other family members. These past two days, Lin Qingyan has been hunting wild boars and performing in the auditorium, so most of these military families know Lin Qingyan.
They were all incredibly curious to see Lin Qingyan deliver Zhang Lixia's baby. Some wanted to see if Lin Qingyan really had such skills, while others were concerned about what would happen to Zhang Lixia and the baby, and how Lin Qingyan would deliver the baby.
A dozen minutes later, a loud baby's cry echoed throughout the room; Zhang Lixia had finally given birth to her child.
Lin Qingyan asked Granny Sun to clean the baby's body. She cleaned up the placenta and other excrement that Zhang Lixia had expelled, and closely observed Zhang Lixia's condition after childbirth. Only after confirming that Zhang Lixia would not be in any further danger did she feel relieved.
After receiving the child, Granny Sun suddenly screamed, startling everyone else.
Zhang Lixia was most afraid, "Mom, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the baby?"
Grandma Sun shook her head, a joyful smile on her face.
"It's not that there's anything wrong with the child, it's that you gave birth to a son, Da Gang, you have a son now."
"A son?" Zhang Lixia couldn't believe it herself. She had given birth to three daughters in a row, and she thought this time it would be another daughter. She never expected to give birth to a son.
If her mother-in-law had known earlier that she could give birth to a son, she probably would have sent her to the hospital long ago.
However, not going to the hospital is not necessarily a bad thing.
Because she met Lin Qingyan.
If she had gone to the hospital in her condition, she would probably have needed surgery. Lin Qingyan was able to help her give birth smoothly without surgery, which was much easier than surgery.
Lin Qingyan had been busy for over an hour. After a sigh of relief, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat down to rest.
After cleaning the child, Granny Sun chuckled and showed him to Zhang Lixia, "Look, look. Look at this child's little penis, isn't it a boy?"
Zhang Lixia was happier than ever before. "Yes, it's a son. Da Gang and I finally have a son."
Yang Qiuyue, standing nearby, felt a mixture of envy and relief.
She had given birth to three daughters in a row and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to have a son. Now that she saw that Zhang Lixia, who was in the same situation as her, had a son, she thought that she could also have a son.
Zhang Lixia was extremely grateful to Lin Qingyan, "Sister, thank you so much, thank you so much."
Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "As long as you and your child are safe and sound, that's all that matters."
Lin Qingyan glanced at her watch. "It's already 11 a.m. If we go to the supply and marketing cooperative now and come back, it will probably be past cooking time."
She looked apologetically at Sister Zhang and Yang Qiuyue, "Sisters, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to the supply and marketing cooperative this morning."
"Oh well, if we can't go, we can't go. We have food at home anyway, we can always go this afternoon or tomorrow," Zhang's wife said nonchalantly.
Lin Qingyan gave Zhang Lixia and Granny Sun some instructions. She stood up to go home, but Zhang Lixia said to her, "Comrade, we're too busy and chaotic here, so we won't keep you for dinner. When Da Gang comes back, I'll make sure he comes to thank us personally."
"It's alright, we're leaving."
Grandma Sun was probably happy to have a grandson, because she smiled and saw Lin Qingyan and the other two out the door.
After they left, Granny Sun went back into her house, sighing, "Oh, it's so wonderful that there's a woman in our compound who can deliver babies. If I had known she could do it, I would have called her over immediately, and the baby would have been born sooner."
The other military wives who had come to watch the commotion congratulated Zhang Lixia and Granny Sun before going home.
However, the news that Lin Qingyan delivered Zhang Lixia's baby quietly spread throughout the entire family compound and quickly reached other family compounds.
When these families learned that Lin Qingyan could deliver babies, some of the older women even planned to ask her to deliver their babies when their daughters-in-law gave birth.
It's much more cost-effective than going to the hospital anyway.
The next day, Sun Dagang went to thank Lin Qingyan in person. He took out five yuan to give to Lin Qingyan, but she refused to accept it, and neither did Lu Zhengting. So he could only buy some things and send them over.
"Thanks to my sister-in-law, my wife was able to give birth to the baby smoothly, and she even gave me a son."
When Sun Dagang mentioned his son, he couldn't suppress the wide grin spreading across his face.
Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting congratulated him again. Finally, Sun Dagang invited Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan to their child's one-month celebration.
Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting both smiled and agreed.
After Sun Dagang left, Lu Zhengting hugged his wife and said, "Wife, you're doing much better here than I am."
"Then you'd better work hard, or I might look down on you one day."
