Meanwhile, He Yanzhi had just stepped out of his office when he saw dark clouds hanging low, and a sudden downpour was brewing.
He looked at the sky, his brows furrowed, and hurried home to his family compound.
He told Guan Wanxin, then quickly rode his bicycle along the bumpy dirt road, pedaling hard towards the Dahewan Production Brigade.
He was a little anxious, thinking that the rain was probably quite heavy and wouldn't stop anytime soon.
Thirty minutes later, as soon as the bicycle turned into the pasture where the Dahewan Production Brigade was located, He Yanzhi noticed something was wrong.
A large crowd had gathered in the Che family's courtyard, including men, women, and children, and everyone seemed to be in high spirits.
He Yanzhi's heart skipped a beat. He quickly propped up his bicycle and hurried over.
As soon as Che Wang and his wife saw him, they immediately smiled and came over to greet him.
Che Wang exclaimed excitedly, "Commander He, you've finally arrived! Your wife is amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
"?" He Yan was completely confused.
Just then, Guan Wenru stepped out from the crowd.
He noticed bloodstains on her clothes, and his expression turned unusually panicked. He rushed to her side, asking, "What happened? Are you hurt?"
Seeing his anxious look, Guan Wenru quickly shook her head, "I'm fine, this isn't my blood."
At this moment, Grandma Batu, her hair gray, walked over shakily, her wrinkled face beaming with joy, and gave He Yanzhi a thumbs-up:
"Comrade PLA soldier, your wife is this! She's a fairy descended from heaven!"
As soon as Grandma Batu finished speaking, Zhalma Tsering quickly explained, his voice loud and full of gratitude:
"Commander He, you have no idea, my wife fainted today from severe stomach pain. She and the baby in her womb are in critical condition. We live dozens of miles away from the commune clinic, and the commune's only barefoot doctor has gone to the provincial capital. We are so worried! The women in our yurt have little experience in childbirth, and they are all panicked!"
After saying this, he looked at Guan Wenru gratefully, "Just when everyone was in a panic, it was your wife who came to our aid. She directed the women to boil water, find clean cloths, and comfort my husband... all in an orderly manner! It was because of her help that my husband and daughter were able to come back from the brink of death!"
A middle-aged woman nearby chimed in, "That's right! Comrade Guan is so quick and efficient, not flustered at all! She knows more than any of us who have given birth!"
Grandma Batu nodded repeatedly, then added with a smile, "When the baby was born, the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, and his face was purple! We were terrified! But it was Comrade Xiao Guan again... She didn't hesitate at all, and using the method she had learned, I untied the umbilical cord in a few quick movements. She even patted the soles of the baby's feet... Oh dear, it wasn't until the baby cried out that our hearts finally settled down! Thank God, the families of the People's Liberation Army are truly capable!"
Other herders nearby also gathered around, expressing their gratitude and admiration in a cacophony of voices:
"Comrade Xiao Guan, thank you so much!"
"Luckily, Comrade Xiao Guan was here today!"
"From now on, the women in our team will have a better understanding of what to do when they have children!"
"The families of PLA soldiers are just different!"
Guan Wenru blushed with embarrassment at the compliment.
She had already been praised for a long time before He Yanzhi arrived.
Mei Dandan told everyone that fortunately, the situation was handled in time; if she had waited for her to arrive, she probably wouldn't have been able to turn the tide.
Because of what she said, everyone felt that Guan Wenru had done a great job, and they had been praising her for quite a while.
Seeing that they were about to continue praising her in front of He Yanzhi, Guan Wenru quickly waved her hand, "Don't say that, fellow villagers, I... I just happened to have learned a little bit. At that time, the situation was urgent, so I had to bite the bullet and do it. It was also thanks to everyone's help in boiling water and passing things, and Sister Wulan's strong spirit."
Che Xiaoni patted her on the shoulder, "Wenru, you're really amazing. Even Dr. Mei says so. Don't be modest."
"right."
"That's right."
He Yanzhi stood to the side, looking somewhat dazed.
He listened to the herdsmen's stories, one after another, and looked at Guan Wenru, who was surrounded by the crowd, his body stained with blood yet radiant...
A tremendous shock and an unbelievable sense of pride overwhelmed him.
He truly didn't expect Guan Wenru to be a midwife.
Since she came to join the army, she has really done a lot of good deeds.
He never knew, and never even imagined, that she knew so many things.
At first, he thought she was a pampered young lady who had a nanny at home and had never experienced hardship or had many life skills.
But after she arrived, the things she did repeatedly overturned his perception of her.
At this moment, his gaze was fixed on Guan Wenru, his eyes filled with a new and fervent appreciation.
She truly deserves to be called the child raised by Grandma Guan; she was able to step forward and turn the tide at a critical moment.
Guan Wenru felt He Yanzhi's burning gaze, and her cheeks turned even redder.
She quickly said to everyone, "Fellow villagers, it's getting late, and it looks like it's going to rain. Everyone should hurry home and prepare dinner. I'll come visit your village again when I have time."
Che Xiaoni immediately made a pinky promise with her, "Then it's a deal, come visit me more often."
Grandma Batu: "Yes, Xiao Guan, you should come often."
"Yes, you must come often."
......
After saying goodbye to the herdsmen, He Yanzhi left with Guan Wenru and Mei Dandan.
Mei Dandan can't ride a horse; she came by bicycle.
Seeing He Yanzhi driving Guan Wenru, she suddenly said enviously, "If I had known, I would have asked my husband to come and pick me up too."
