Aunt Zhuoma came over carrying a basin of freshly boiled water. "It happened not long ago! Just now when I fainted, it broke! Aunt Batu, please take a look!"
Grandma Batu, experienced as she was, touched Ulan's belly and looked down. "The cervix is fully dilated! You can even see the baby's head! But... the mother can't push, it's stuck! If this goes on for too long, the baby will suffer!"
Upon hearing this, everyone became anxious.
When Guan Wenru saw that Wulan's eyes were starting to glaze over again, she immediately applied some more cooling balm under her nose.
At the same time, she took out another smaller bottle from her bag, which contained some dark brown powder—Yunnan Baiyao.
She handed the items to Batu's grandmother, saying, "Grandma, you have plenty of experience, so you should take charge! This medicine is for stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation. If there's a tear, you'll need to use it."
Grandma Batu's eyes lit up as she took the powder. "Good stuff! Quick, Zhuoma, bring some hot water. We need to soak a clean cloth in the hot water and wipe Ulan's sweat and genitals too!"
After saying that, she looked at Guan Wenru and Che Xiaoni, "You two talk to Wulan and tell her to put in more effort!"
Che Xiaoni nodded vigorously, then quickly leaned down and whispered in Wulan's ear:
"Sister-in-law Wulan! The baby is right at the door! It's just a matter of your last breath! Think about how long you've been waiting. If you push now, the baby will be out!"
Ulan seemed to be awakened by Che Xiaoni's screams and the strong will to live of the child in her womb, and she mustered her last strength.
She let out a hoarse, desperate scream, and her body arched upwards!
Grandma Batu reacted quickly, shouting at the same time, "Good! The head is out! Keep going, keep going, push!! The shoulders are out... Slower, slower... Good! Out! All out!"
A tiny life, covered in vernix caseosa and bloodstains, slipped onto the clean cotton cloth that Grandma Batu had prepared, which had been scalded with boiling water and wrung out.
But after the baby was born, the umbilical cord was wrapped around its neck, and its face turned purple!
Everyone who saw this was so frightened they dared not breathe.
Grandma Batu had no experience with this either, and her hands trembled slightly. "What...what should we do!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Guan Wenru quickly instructed Grandma Batu to untie the umbilical cord.
Once the umbilical cord was untied, she quickly took the baby and patted the soles of the baby's feet.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Fortunately, a moment later, a loud, heavenly cry of a baby rang out!
Oh my god!
They should be out of danger!
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief!
Grandma Batu laughed out loud, "Ulan is a little princess."
Ulan seemed to have all her strength drained away, and collapsed.
But she strained to keep her eyes open, looking in the direction of the crying, and managed a weak smile.
Grandma Batu deftly cut the umbilical cord, handling the situation skillfully.
She carefully sprinkled Yunnan Baiyao on the necessary areas of the new mother, saying, "Luckily we have these medicines, luckily you woke up, and luckily this woman knows how to untie the umbilical cord."
If the mother doesn't wake up, her baby will likely suffocate.
And the mother is probably also...
That was close!
Aunt Zhuoma held her granddaughter in her arms, tears streaming down her face. "Thank God! Thank God!"
Guan Wenru then realized that her back was soaked with cold sweat and her hands were still trembling slightly.
Looking at the crying baby and Ulan's weak yet radiant maternal face, her tense nerves finally relaxed, and a great sense of exhaustion and indescribable relief welled up in her heart.
Ulan snapped out of her daze and quickly looked at Guan Wenru beside the bed. "Comrade, thank you so much! If it weren't for you and Grandma Batu, my child and I..."
Guan Wenru's voice was a little hoarse, but with a smile, "It's because you're strong, sister-in-law, and Grandma Batu is very experienced. Everyone helped out, and my little bit of medicine... was just a coincidence."
Che Xiaoni carefully wiped away the sweat and tears from Wulan's face.
She was still a young girl, and experiencing something like this suddenly really frightened her. She said with lingering fear, "Wenru, how come you know everything?"
The other aunties finally had a chance to ask Guan Wenru about her identity.
Che Xiaoni proudly introduced it to them.
At the same time, Ulan's husband, Zharma Tsering, rushed back. He didn't care about anything else and rushed in, shouting, "Ulan!"
He knelt before Ulan, his face full of worry.
Seeing how anxious he was, everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Aunt Zhuoma quickly explained the situation to him.
After listening, Zhalma Tsering suddenly knelt down before Guan Wenru and Grandma Batu, saying, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Batu's grandmother quickly helped him up, saying, "You child, get up right away."
Guan Wenru smiled and said, "You should thank your wife the most. She really had a brush with death. You must treat her even better in the future."
Zhalma Tsering nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I will do everything I can to treat her well."
The new mother was still weak, and the other women, seeing that they couldn't help much, quickly left.
Guan Wenru and Batu's grandmother stayed here, waiting for the military doctor to arrive.
When Zhuoma's husband and Chewang and his wife, who were waiting at the door, saw their aunts come out, they quickly asked about the situation inside.
These women immediately spoke up to explain.
When they explained, they portrayed Guan Wenru as a very high-class person.
Everyone thought that Guan Wenru saved Wulan and her daughter.
In no time, Guan Wenru's name spread throughout the Dahewan Production Brigade.
...
An hour later, Che Zhenxing returned with the military doctor.
As soon as the military doctor Mei Dandan entered, she saw Guan Wenru there and raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Xiao Guan, what are you doing here?"
Guan Wenru smiled at her, "Sister Mei, my friend is a herdsman in this production brigade. I was off today, so I came to visit her, but I didn't expect to run into this."
"I see." Mei Dandan nodded in understanding and quickly walked over to the woman in labor.
Grandma Batu explained the mother's condition, the critical situation during childbirth, and the medication she was given to her.
After learning what Guan Wenru had done, Mei Dandan smiled and said, "She truly deserves to be Commander He's wife; she's both brave and resourceful."
"Sister Mei, please stop making fun of me. Please take a look at Sister Wulan. She has a bad tear down there and may need stitches."
Mei Dandan was a particularly kind military doctor in the medical team, and it was she who told the leaders that milk was rich in nutrients.
That's why the leader and the logistics minister decided to expand the scale of breeding.
Guan Wenru had a very good impression of her.
Mei Dandan then put on gloves and quickly checked the mother's condition. The tear was indeed too large and needed to be stitched up.
When Mei Dandan arrived, she brought all the necessary tools. She disinfected the surrounding area and made thorough preparations before immediately starting to suture the mother's wound.
Because she came alone without an assistant, Guan Wenru acted as that assistant, handing her tools.
After everything was settled, Mei Dandan told them the precautions and then prepared to leave.
Guan Wenru called out to her, "Sister Mei, why don't you wait a little longer and come back with us? My husband Yanzhi said he's coming to pick me up. Judging by the time, he should be here soon."
Mei Dandan thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine, otherwise I'll have to trouble the comrades outside to take me back."
