173 Mei Niang Production
Chang Chunfeng is gone.
Wan Changsheng felt relieved that his son was not taken away.
On the day his father passed away, Ping'an brought Da Wu and Xiao Wu back to the medicine store.
Erqiang and several other people were taken into the Medicine Valley by Ming Wanli and left to Fang Xiao.
Fang Xiao naturally had no objection. These children had to be taught well, otherwise how could they protect Young Master Ping An in the future.
Ping'an discussed with his master and decided to pass on the Snow Stepping Heart Sutra to the main people around them. With more powerful guards around them, their own safety was guaranteed.
It is better to let Fang Xiao, Ming Wanli and others discipline Erqiang and the others. Since jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished, they will just be left there for the time being.
Lin Feng didn't want to leave the young master at first, but Ping An explained it to him carefully, and he finally understood.
Mei Niang's belly is already big and the fetus has reached her lower pelvis. It looks like she will be born in the next few days.
Sun Sicheng placed Leng Yue and Leng Shui next to Tong Miao, and also sent Ma Wenpo, a senior expert from Baicaotang, to the farm.
Sooner or later there will be Doctor Sun, so the lineup is quite strong.
Mei Niang looked at her son who had grown taller and was very surprised: "Ping An, why are you back now? Hey, why are there only Da Wu and Xiao Wu? Where are Er Qiang and the others?"
"Mother, they are still in the valley. The master has a most powerful subordinate named Uncle Ming. Uncle Ming is teaching them kung fu in person. Mr. Zhou is also in there for the time being. Don't worry. Mother, are the brothers and sisters well behaved?"
Mei Niang smiled and said, "She's very cute. I think she's a little girl. Your father said a little girl is also good. This way he will have both a son and a daughter."
Ping An felt warm in his heart: "A younger sister is fine too. If I want a younger brother, I can have one later. Mom, I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Miao'er, let Xizhi prepare something to eat."
Ping An was stunned: "Mom, who is Xizhi?"
Mei Niang smiled and said, "It's the one you asked Shopkeeper Ge to buy. It's not nice to call her a mother-in-law when she's still young. We're calling her by her original name from her mother's family. She's very capable, and my son is filial. She's really of great use."
Seeing his mother smiling happily, Ping'an was also happy. His mother had never known anything about the incident from beginning to end, and the child was safe and sound. This was all good.
Mei Niang opened a small jar and said, "Try some freshly fried dried fish. It will be ready in half an hour. Have you visited your father, uncle, and grandpa since you came back?"
Ping An nodded and said, "Let's send the master to the city first. I also went to see my father and uncle. They won't be back until the evening. Uncle is too fat."
"Well, my uncle said that this place is much more comfortable than the border town. Over there, even if there is something delicious, I always think about my injuries and can't eat alone.
But your father fell ill a few days ago and had a high fever. It was thanks to your uncle and grandpa that he was taken care of, otherwise your family would have been worried sick. They said it was a cold, but he is better now.
Ping An, why have you lost weight? Are you not sick? "
Ping An clenched his fists and made a powerful gesture: "Look, Mom, are your arms strong?"
Mei Niang laughed out loud, her son was so cute.
"Ping An, you don't need to go out for a while, right? You don't need to go into the valley, right?"
"I'm not going anywhere for now. I'll study with my teacher and master in the city during the day and go home in the morning and evening."
Mei Niang's eyes curved with laughter.
In early June, Wan Changsheng was awakened, "Husband, I'm about to give birth. Get up quickly, light the lamp, and call the midwife, Miao'er, and uncle. Don't panic, it won't happen that soon."
She didn't expect to wake up her son in the middle of the night, and the eight-year-old child couldn't do anything when he got up.
Wan Changsheng was a little panicked. His legs went weak when he got off the kang and he almost fell.
Ping'an noticed that his mother's belly was getting smaller and smaller during the day, and he became more worried at night. The noise coming from the east room quickly woke him up, and he quickly lit the lamp and got dressed.
A quarter of an hour later.
Sun Hongyu, Wan Changsheng and Ping'an stayed in the main room, the midwife and Tong Miao went into the inner room, and Xizhi boiled water in the kitchen. They were all busy in an orderly manner.
Soon, a muffled groan was heard from the inner room.
"Uncle, I have some ginseng here. Do you want me to suck it now?"
Sun Hongyu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't tell people you're studying medicine. What's the big deal about a woman groaning during childbirth? Some women suffer from pain for a whole day and night. You're just taking ginseng at the beginning, what are you going to do next? Sit still, don't turn around, turning around makes you dizzy, learn from your son."
Ping'an just went to the kitchen to cook sugar-water eggs for his mother. It is important for pregnant women to eat more when they can and maintain their physical strength.
Wan Changsheng sat on a small stool next to Sun Hongyu, looking more and more pitiful.
“Aren’t I worried about her?”
"Why are you in such a hurry? I am here, along with Tong Miao and the others, the midwife, and Ping An."
Sun Hongyu began to cherish Ping An more and more. When he first came, he saw him directing his father and Tong Miao to carry his mother to the delivery bed. The delivery bed was in the same room and was temporarily set up a few days ago to facilitate Mei Niang's delivery.
She also found out the things she had prepared in advance for the children and placed them one by one on the kang.
He then took out a new pair of scissors from his own medical box, put them in the kettle to boil, and soaked them in white wine. He did his work leisurely.
Compared to him, Changsheng was just a waste of time. He did nothing and just wandered around aimlessly.
Who would be willing to let such a child go? His father is still a man who loves children. Sun Hongyu couldn't help but sigh that the scholar is also a man despite such an experience.
Soon Xizhi brought a large bucket of boiling water and turned around to boil it.
Da Wu and Xiao Wu also came, but did not enter the house. They stood guard at the door, one on each side, holding knives in their hands.
There is a custom in the Great Zhou Dynasty that when a woman gives birth, a man will guard the gate. It is best if the man has some evil spirit so that he can block the evil spirits outside and protect the mother and fetus inside.
Half an hour passed.
Ping An asked Tong Miao to tell him the situation inside from time to time through the door curtain. Leng Yue was good at obstetrics and gynecology, and Leng Shui and Tong Miao were also good. Grandpa Sun was there, so he was basically not worried.
It is not possible for five or six people to guard a pregnant woman, except for those who want to be rich.
"Ah, ah." Mei Niang suddenly screamed.
Ping An's heartbeat quickened a little, but his expression remained unchanged, and neither did Sun Hongyu.
Wan Changsheng jumped up and said, "Uncle, let me go in and take a look."
"Sit down. What's the point of you going in? Leng Yue is pretty good, and the other two girls are better than you. It's only been a little over an hour, and there's still more than an hour before daybreak."
Ping An stood up and said, "I'll go make some ginseng soup. Dad, don't worry. There's no point in being anxious about this kind of thing."
Wan Changsheng nodded and sat down again.
By the time Ping An drank the ginseng soup, it was already dawn.
The intermittent screams from inside made Wan Changsheng's eyes red, but he didn't dare to say much. Ping'an asked Tong Miao to prepare the inside, and then took his uncle and grandfather to check his mother's pulse. The situation was very good, so he was relieved.
From beginning to end, he didn't let his father in. His father was very nervous tonight and was already at a loss. Letting his mother in would only make her more nervous and would be useless.
Sun Hongyu watched the young boy taking the pulse in an extremely professional manner, and his diagnosis was exactly the same as his own. He had only studied medicine for one year, but this kid was truly a genius.
But he said nothing and treated Ping An as an adult, discussing things with him in the main room. Ping An did not disappoint him and spoke the same words as an experienced doctor. He also did not mess around at all when he arranged three female doctors in the delivery room.
This boy will definitely be better than his master in the future, and Changsheng is also very lucky.
At noon, when the sun shone on the front yard, the sound of a baby crying was finally heard from the inner room. Tong Miao told the young master that it was a girl.
