Chapter 238 Su Tai Production
Su Tai pointed at the ten little kids and said anxiously, "Auntie, please find someone to teach them how to farm. It can be any young girl or boy in the village, or any old man or woman who can't do heavy work. I'll pay them, and the children will learn how to farm from them in this month."
Huang Xinghua was stunned. "You are kidding! This is land! It's related to the harvest of the whole year. Are you letting them play with it?"
Su Tai sneered and said seriously: "It's for teaching them. As a test field, two or three acres will be enough, or I can ask the village chief to buy a few acres of land. Forget it, I will ask the village chief to buy four or five acres of wasteland!"
There are no continuous tracts of wasteland in the village, but there are still many fragmented ones. They can piece together a few acres of wasteland by patching together the land around their family's plot.
When Su Tai told the village chief about his purpose, the village chief was very interested and gave Su Tai six acres of wasteland the next day.
The next step was to reclaim the land. The ten children could be considered as free labor. Although they could not do much work and their work was slow, the important thing was that they participated.
A few elderly people took them to teach and play, and they were able to keep up with the progress of spring ploughing.
In just over a month, the children have become wild. They were chubby and white before, but now they have all turned into little black kids and are tougher than before. If it weren't for those snacks, I'm afraid Tang Yu would not be able to control them.
After a busy spring ploughing, Su Tai began to think about the sales of this year's summer fruits. When she gives birth, she is afraid that she will not have too much energy to focus on the fruits in the fields. In previous years, she could send all of them to the provincial capital, but this year it may not be possible.
Seeing that she was frowning, Ke Yunyun smiled after asking, "Cousin, Xiaoxi was in charge of the shop before, you can ask her."
Su Tai's eyes lit up and she quickly called Xiaoxi over.
After Xiaoxi knew her concerns, she suggested, "If Madam Shen is assured, I can do it for you. I will go to the capital city in advance to tell the merchants I am familiar with before and see if they want it. Last year, someone came to our door to ask for a large number of watermelons, and it seemed that they wanted to sell them outside Lizhou. At that time, we didn't have enough watermelons to sell, so I didn't agree. You can consider it this year. I know where they are and I can find them."
"Okay! Thank you for your help. Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain." Su Tai was very happy.
Xiaoxi was flattered and shook her head, "Mrs. Shen is very kind to me, so I will help a little, it's my duty."
She lives here now, and her food, clothing, housing and transportation are the same as her master. She now has things she has never seen or enjoyed before, and her master doesn't scold her. She is very content with such a life.
She had always been worried that she had done too little and that her master would not need her in the future. Now that she could help, she was eager to show her ability.
After the matter was settled, Xiaoxi secretly went to Dongmen Village and discussed it with Suchuan, and the two went to the provincial capital together.
Su Chuan's family also planted fruits this year, so naturally he had to pay more attention to selling the fruits.
With them taking care of things, Su Tai felt completely relieved. No matter what, she just needed to focus on taking care of the pregnancy.
By May, her belly had grown so big that she looked like she was about to give birth.
Every time Mrs. Xu saw her belly, she would ask Mrs. Cao about it, and then confirm the due date with Su Tai. "Did the doctor really say that the baby can only be born next month? Why do I feel like it's almost time?"
Su Tai lay in the rocking chair, revealing a calm smile, "Second Aunt, I'm probably pregnant with twins, so it's normal for my belly to be a little bigger."
Xu, who was just daydreaming, was so frightened by her words that she jumped three feet high, "What the hell? Twins?"
Her first reaction was not joy but worry, "Is this this this this confirmed?"
Su Tai nodded repeatedly.
She was not sure before, but her belly was growing very fast, at an abnormal speed. She happened to be able to go to the Mu Shikong Chinese Medicine Clinic, so she asked the gynecologist in the clinic to help her check it out. The clinic did not have equipment such as color ultrasound, and the doctors were not good at taking pulses to confirm the number of fetuses.
It was not until recently when she clearly heard the heartbeats of two fetuses in her belly during auscultation that she was sure that she was pregnant with two babies.
Xu's heart finally gave out, and she ran to find Cao in a panic.
"Oh no! Xiaotai is pregnant with two babies. Have you ever delivered a baby like this before?"
Mrs. Cao was calmer than Mrs. Xu. "I had suspected it a long time ago, but I didn't dare to tell her because I was afraid of scaring her. I didn't expect it to be true! As long as the fetus is in the right position, she can be born. Don't worry about it. But for safety's sake, it's better to invite a doctor."
"Yes, yes, we need to find a doctor. I'll go back and tell my two sons." Mrs. Xu was very panicked.
All parties were taken care of, even Su Tai's parents' family were informed.
Han's reaction was similar to Xu's. She subconsciously wanted to go to her daughter's home to take care of her.
Ruan Xiaoyu and Shen Xiang naturally had no objections. They personally helped Han pack her luggage and sent her away.
On May 20th, Su Tai had her period, and in the evening she felt like she was giving birth.
Shen Liang hurried to the town and brought Doctor Li over.
It was already dark when we entered the village.
Many people came to Su Tai's house, including Xu's family, Cao, Huang Xinghua, the village chief's two wives, and Han.
Ke Yunyun wore a veil and appeared as Tang Yu's wife, taking the initiative to help take care of Shen Yuezhang and Shen Congrong.
No one thought much about it, but just handed the baby to her with confidence and stood ready, staring at the door of the delivery room.
Su Tai in the delivery room was now pushing according to Cao's instructions.
She had no idea about her two children, but she was just trying hard not to worry others.
Cao asked her daughter-in-law Wu to help, and only let Su Tai take the lead when she saw that the baby was almost ready. After about two quarters of an hour, the first baby came out.
Cao's confidence increased, and he shouted excitedly: "Quick, come and help!"
Mrs. Wu took the child over and took care of him. When the child cried, she breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "It's a beautiful boy!"
Cao immediately said, "Don't be distracted, there is one more. Try harder. Don't let the baby stay in your belly for too long!"
When the exhausted Su Tai heard this, she hurriedly pushed harder, and by the time the second child came out, she was so tired that she fainted.
Mrs. Cao was so nervous that she didn't even bother to take care of the child and went to examine Su Tai.
Clean up the dirt while you're at it.
He turned around and shouted outside, "Doctor Li, come in and take a look."
Everyone looked at Doctor Li, a little panicked. What was going on that required the doctor to help?
Doctor Li calmly went in with his medicine box on his back and carefully felt Su Tai's pulse. He found that she was just a little weak, and his expression instantly eased a lot. "It's okay, it's okay. She is just exhausted. Let her rest well and eat some nutritious soft food when she wakes up. Where's the baby? Let me take a look."
Wu and Cao hurriedly brought the child over.
Doctor Li took a closer look and his smile deepened.
When he went out, the people outside couldn't help asking questions one after another.
Doctor Li said slowly, "Mrs. Shen Yi gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Both mother and child are safe and well!"
