"all the best."
Zhao Xian sat in the snow house, holding the walkie-talkie, listening to Qiao Xuejun's report word by word.
"The head and forelimbs are already visible. This indicates the fetal position is normal, and the possibility of dystocia has been reduced. No artificial intervention is still necessary."
Zhao Xian listened quietly. He could clearly feel that Qiao Xuejun's tone was much more relaxed than before, and every word between the lines was filled with the professional judgment of an expert, well-reasoned and well-founded.
The mare's delivery progress was described very clearly, which made Zhao Xian feel relieved.
Zhao Xian felt lucky countless times.
The experts he invited all had specialties. They were always authoritative in their fields, and their words were final. Qiao Xuejun was no different.
All the farming procedures in the greenhouse are specified by her and all employees follow them. She decides what to plant and how to plant it, and does not give anyone the opportunity to interfere.
Just like when she decided to grow spinach in a greenhouse, she didn't write a report to ask anyone if it was okay or not. She just decided to do it and did it directly.
Even he could only stand and listen to Teacher Qiao's arrangements.
This is what experts always do, and other experts do the same.
But his teacher Qiao is even more amazing than that.
Raising horses was not part of her job description. She could easily have handed the responsibility of mare births to the base, or even to Old Zheng.
But she didn't, she took it all on herself.
He was very responsible and even built a snow house to keep an eye on it. Although the snow house was warm, it was not as comfortable as sleeping on the big kang in the base.
If it weren't for Teacher Qiao, the base would never be in such a good situation today.
"It went smoothly." Qiao Xuejun's voice became increasingly calm over the intercom. "The foal will be out soon. It's been half an hour since it was born, so that's a pretty fast delivery."
Zhao Xian chatted with her: "How long has it been slow?"
He looked at the time and it was already 1 a.m.
God knows, he has no interest in how long it takes for a horse to give birth, but he likes to hear Teacher Qiao talk about these things, which reveal his confidence and calmness.
Qiao Xuejun: "If it's too slow, it will take more than 2 hours and the birth will be difficult, and artificial induction will be needed."
"We really need to wake up Old Zheng then." Qiao Xuejun said, then remembered something and asked again, "You asked Old Zheng to lock up Shen Xingtang. Did you tell him what to do specifically?"
Zhao Xian: "Of course. Old Zheng understands."
Qiao Xuejun: "...Will he not think that you are the crazy one?" Most people cannot understand things like resurrection.
Zhao Xian chuckled softly.
He said casually: "Teacher Qiao. He is a military doctor. He has only one choice, which is to obey."
Zhao Xian's tone was not harsh, but it was full of a sense of control.
There is no doubt that Zhao Xian has control over the base, especially among the patrol team members, no one disobeys Zhao Xian.
But Qiao Xuejun always felt that Shen Xingtang would not accept her fate: "Be careful of her."
Without dwelling on the topic any further, Qiao Xuejun's voice was filled with surprise: "It's out, it's out. Let me see, 45 minutes, okay."
Zhao Xian: "Is it over?"
The cry of a mare came from Qiao Xuejun's side.
She wasn't resting either. "Yeah. The foal is out. I'll wipe it dry. Come over here and help me get some feed from the warehouse. There's a scoop and a basin in the feed bag. Give me two scoops. I just want pumpkin seed meal."
After a while, Zhao Xian prepared the feed as she said, walked to the door of the stable and knocked.
Qiao Xuejun quickly opened the door and took the basin. "This is easier to digest. I'll boil it and feed it to it to replenish some water and energy."
Zhao Xian asked her, "Can we leave after feeding?" It was already 1 a.m., time to rest. Because the snow house was outside, the greenhouse workers and the horse herders would see it in the morning, so they had to get up early in the morning.
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "After feeding the foal, we still have to wait for the foal to eat colostrum."
"Then I'll observe whether the mare's placenta is being expelled normally. If both she and the foal are in good condition and have no fever, I can withdraw."
Zhao Xian: "It's too hard."
Qiao Xuejun smiled and said, "It's not bad. The temperature hasn't dropped much yet."
We are lucky that the temperature hasn't dropped significantly.

After finishing everything, Qiao Xuejun was exhausted. She had to go back and forth to wipe the mare's sweat, and also help it lift its legs to wipe the inside and lower body.
It's also a physical job.
There is also the task of boiling water and mixing feed, which also takes a lot of effort.
It was just two spoonfuls of pumpkin seed meal, not a lot, and Qiao Xuejun poured it into the mare's trough.
The mare licked the foal lying on the blanket.
The foal was licked and finally crawled into the mare's arms and began to suck milk.
The mare also began to lick the pumpkin seed meal porridge in the trough.
After confirming that everything was fine and cleaning up the mess, Qiao Xuejun looked at his watch and it was already 3:30.
"Knock, knock." There was a knock on the stable door, and Zhao Xian's voice came, "Isn't it over?"
Qiao Xuejun closed the door and rushed towards Zhao Xian with his arms outstretched: "I have no strength left."
Zhao Xian took the person into his arms with very smooth movements.
He handed the flashlight to Qiao Xuejun in his arms.
Qiao Xuejun held a flashlight and illuminated the road ahead.
She took a long breath. "The foal is healthy and seems to be fine. It's drinking milk. The mare is also healthy, with a normal body temperature and eating normally."
She thought anxiously again, "But I can't feed it from now on. I'll feed it tomorrow night. And I have to get up early tomorrow to say hello to the horse herder."
Zhao Xian hugged her tightly: "You should have a good sleep. What are you going to do tomorrow? Tell me and I will do it."
