Fu Jingchen opened the door and saw that it was Yao Zhenjiang outside.

"What's the matter?" Fu Jingchen looked at his anxious face and asked openly.

Yao Zhenjiang said, "Brother Chen, my wife is about to give birth in the middle of the night. My father went to the commune for a meeting last afternoon and hasn't come back yet."

"The midwife from our Shinianzi Brigade broke her leg a few days ago and needs someone to carry her here."

At least four people are needed to put the person on the shelf and carry him over, and now the Yao family has gathered four men.

In desperation, Yao Zhenjiang came to find Fu Jingchen.

He didn't have any other brothers, but they all had to go to the yard. When something like this happened in the middle of the night, the closer the better.

That's two lives!

"Okay." Fu Jingchen understood what he meant and nodded, "I'll come over right away."

"Brother Chen, I'm really sorry to trouble you." Yao Zhenjiang, a grown man, had red eyes.

"You are so polite."

The two talked for a few more words before he went back, and Fu Jingchen went into the house to put on his coat.

"Is Miss Yao San really going to give birth?" Jiang Yuman asked from her bed while he was putting on his coat.

"Um."

talking room.

Seeing his wife's long seaweed-like hair spread out on the pillow, her face was beautiful and delicate under the oil lamp, Fu Jingchen couldn't help but touch her hair.

"I'll go over there. You should get some rest. It's already late."

Jiang Yuman nodded: "Okay."

She watched Fu Jingchen close the door.

The room was quiet again, but Jiang Yuman's mind seemed to be tied by a string, and she couldn't calm down no matter what.

I wasn't sleepy at all.

She secretly wondered what had gone wrong to cause Yao San's wife to be born several years earlier.

Although a few minutes of time would not make any difference to a full-term baby, the fact that it was delivered earlier than expected must be some kind of accident.

But it would be a good idea for her to go to the Yao family at this time. She should wait until Yao San's wife gave birth to the child before asking.

On the other side is the Yao family.

Although it was late, everyone stayed in the main room.

Yao San's wife was lying on the bed, sweating profusely, her face pale with pain, while Yao's mother and two daughters-in-law were busy running around.

Boiling water and wiping sweat.

Looking at the darkness outside, Yao Dasao, who was burning a fire in the kitchen, glanced at her sister-in-law and said, "I can't help but say:

"Why did they come back? They've been away for so long, and the third son's wife is in so much pain."

Mrs. Yao scooped boiling hot water from the pot: "I guess it will be soon. This time it's really..."

Having said that, the two looked at each other knowingly, and subconsciously glanced at Yao Simeng who was sitting in the main room.

While so many people at home were busy, Yao Simeng was sitting there alone, thinking about nothing.

The two sisters-in-law curled their lips and wanted to say something, but they heard the voices of men talking outside.

The two of them looked outside and saw that the men who had just left had returned.

Mrs. Yao quickly brought the egg water she had just cooked to fill the belly of the man at home, and of course the midwife also had a bowl.

After the midwife finished drinking it in two days, she was helped to the third room.

Yao Zhenjiang wanted to follow him in, but the midwife waved and shooed him away: "Go away, what's so interesting about a woman giving birth? Don't get yourself in trouble here."

If a man comes in, he will just be clumsy and cause delays.

Turning to look at Yao's mother, she said, "Sister, you and your two daughters-in-law can come in and help. Your son should not come in."

This is because she broke her leg, otherwise one person would be enough to help her.

"good."

Yao's mother called her eldest daughter-in-law and saw that the main room was full of men. Yao Simeng stood aside with a guilty look on her face and said, "Si Meng, follow me in."

Yao Simeng looked over and was about to open his mouth to agree.

Yao Zhenjiang, who had just looked panicked, suddenly became furious: "You're right!"

As he spoke, his eyes shot over like knives: "Who said to let her in! If it was her, my wife would also give birth in the middle of the night."

Yao Simeng's feet suddenly froze in place.

She was sad and blamed herself. She did it on purpose. Who asked her to do such a thing?

If we really talk about it, it was the third sister-in-law who was at fault first! She was just being careful.

Is Third Brother looking at me with the same eyes as he would look at an enemy?

"Old Third, there are so many people here, what are you doing?"

Mother Yao frowned and quickly looked at Yao Simeng and said, "Simeng, just wait outside. Don't listen to your third brother. He is just angry and confused."

After saying that, he hurried in to help.

Yao Simeng hesitated for a moment, and could only sit back in his original seat.

Fu Jingchen sat in the main room and did not leave.

In the room, Yao San's daughter-in-law screamed in pain. Yao Zhenjiang walked around the hall anxiously for two rounds. Seeing that Fu Jingchen was still there, he said, "Brother Chen, go back and rest first."

Fu Jingchen looked at him and said, "Will you send them back later?"

"Yes, I will."

Fu Jingchen said: "I'll wait here, she's asleep now."

Yao Zhenjiang was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Fu Jingchen was afraid that he would disturb his wife by getting up and down.

This is also a loving daughter-in-law.

Just as he thought of this, he heard his wife scream in pain again.

All of a sudden, I ran out of ideas and was sweating profusely from anxiety.

Yao Simeng sat in his original position, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

I can't help you much, I can only look around.

Fu Jingchen sat diagonally opposite her, and she could see him at a glance.

From her perspective.

Fu Jingchen's face was stern, and as the screams of pain in the room got worse, he felt a little anxious and uneasy for some reason.

Yao Simeng knew what he was planning.

…

After all, Yao San's wife was in good health and the due date had come. Although it was her first child, the birth went smoothly.

The midwife was busy for an hour, and the baby was born smoothly, a lady with a loud voice.

Thinking of the reason why her daughter-in-law gave birth in the middle of the night, Yao's mother felt guilty and gave the midwife six eggs and a pound of cornmeal as a thank you gift.

Generally speaking, only when a baby is born, the mother's family will be willing to give such good things.

The midwife smiled from ear to ear, happily accepted the things, and reminded me of a series of precautions.

Then, several people carried the cart to send him away.

After struggling for half the night, when Fu Jingchen helped to send the person back and returned to the house, Jiang Yuman was already asleep.

He tiptoed into the house, took off his coat, and rubbed his hands to warm them before getting into bed.

Jiang Yuman rubbed her eyes and asked, "You're back?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously moved in his direction.

Fu Jingchen hugged her subconsciously, "Are you not asleep?"

"You're asleep, I'm a little sleepy."

Jiang Yuman asked, "How is it? Did Sister Yao give birth smoothly?"

"The midwife said everything went smoothly and it was a girl."

But he remembered Yao San's wife's screams of pain, and didn't think things were going smoothly.

"That's good." Jiang Yuman relaxed.

She knew that Yao San's daughter-in-law was expecting a daughter this time, so she was worried that something might go wrong if she gave birth early.

Fu Jingchen didn't say anything.

When Jiang Yuman slept with him, he started:

"It doesn't matter whether our child is a boy or a girl, we want this one in the future."
