Chapter 394: It’s time to give birth to a baby (Thanks to the reward from the book friend “Yoyo Luming”)
As Old Zhou dragged his daughter to the gate, the gate suddenly opened from the inside, scaring both father and daughter.
Zhou Erlang and Zhou Wulang rushed out and saw their father and said hurriedly, "Dad, the fourth son's wife is about to give birth. I'll go get the doctor and the midwife."
Old Zhou came back to his senses and waved his hand quickly, "Go quickly, go quickly."
Manbao had already broken free from his father's hand and ran in, only to see the kitchen bustling with activity.
Manbao ran to the small courtyard and saw that the oil lamps were lit at home. Zhou Dalang, Zhou Sanlang and others were taking the children to the big courtyard. They were going to sleep there tonight and were not allowed to come to the small courtyard unless necessary.
While Zhou Dalang was not paying attention, Manbao slipped into Fourth Brother's room.
Zhou Silang was standing in front of the bed, looking at her with sweat on his forehead, while Qian was holding Fang's hand to comfort her.
Manbao squeezed in and saw Fang sitting on the bed eating candy with a relatively calm expression.
Zhou Silang was squeezed for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he saw Manbao standing in front of him. He glared at her and immediately grabbed her and said, "How did you get in? Get out, get out."
Qian also saw the little girl and frowned, "Fourth Brother, don't stay here anymore. Go out with your youngest sister."
Zhou Silang said with sweat on his forehead, "Mom, let me stay here."
"What can you do here? You're in the way," Qian chased him out and said to Feng, "Go to the kitchen and ask your sister-in-law to make a bowl of noodles and beat a couple of extra eggs. If the baby comes soon, it will take a lot of effort."
Feng agreed.
"The hot water needs to be boiled," Qian said. She had given birth to so many children and assisted so many other women in the village. Her daughter-in-law had also given birth to so many children. She was already familiar with this, so she continued to order, "Get the scissors and red cloth ready."
Zhou Silang was terrified after hearing this. His third sister-in-law had just given birth not long ago, and he was not nervous at all. Why was he so scared when his own wife gave birth?
Manbao looked at her fourth sister-in-law, then at her fourth brother, and felt that he needed her comfort more, so she held his cold hand and comforted him, "Fourth brother, don't be afraid, the baby will be born soon, don't be nervous."
Zhou Silang trembled his lips and said, "I, I'm not nervous. I'm not nervous at all..."
Fang was originally very nervous and scared, but when she saw her husband sweating profusely, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She didn't know if it was because her stomach hurt, which made her feel pain.
Qian hurried to check and drove the two children out again.
Manbao took Zhou Silang's hand and went out.
Zhou Silang sat on the stone steps with Manbao, looking at the window of his room without moving.
Fang's move was so unexpectedly fast that everyone was so busy that they had no time to deal with these two people.
Daya and Erya were helping to boil water in the kitchen, while Xiao Qian was rolling noodles. She worked very fast and soon cooked a bowl of noodles for Feng to send over.
Fang felt the pain for a while, and tried to ignore the discomfort in her stomach and ate half a bowl of noodles, but then the pain became unbearable.
The sound began to spread outward.
Zhou Silang was sweating profusely and almost crying when he heard this. He grabbed Manbao and asked, "What if, what if your fourth sister-in-law turns out to be like Tiger's sister-in-law?"
Manbao pouted and said, "Mom said not to say unlucky words."
"Yes, yes, yes, we can't say unlucky words." Zhou Silang said this and suddenly looked at Manbao.
Manbao blinked, "What's wrong?"
"Manbao, aren't you the reincarnation of a fairy? Do you think it would be useful for me to worship you?"
Of course that's useless, Manbao shook his head firmly.
"Then why don't you go and pay your respects to the Lord of Heaven?" Zhou Silang suggested, "You are the Lord of Heaven's fairy, so praying to the gods will surely be more effective."
Zhou Silang was convinced after hearing what he said, and he pulled Manbao away and said, "Let's go, let's go and pay our respects to the Lord Tianzun."
The portrait of Master Tianzun was in the room of Old Zhou and Qian. Old Zhou was sitting on the threshold of the main hall smoking. His fourth son ran past him into the room and almost bumped into him. He hurriedly followed him in and saw that in the dim room, Zhou Silang pulled Manbao to kneel in front of the portrait of Master Tianzun, staring and muttering to himself.
Old Zhou took a deep breath and wanted to hit someone with his pipe, but then he thought he couldn't be so presumptuous in front of Master Tianzun, so he put it back.
Manbao followed Zhou Silang to worship Laozi, but thinking that it might not be safe, she simply knelt down and recited the names of all the gods and Buddhas she knew, hoping that they would bless her fourth sister-in-law and little nephew to be safe and healthy.
Zhou Silang still felt a little guilty and asked in a low voice, "Is it not good for you to worship other gods and Buddhas in front of the Lord Tianzun?"
"It doesn't matter," Manbao said, "Those who can become gods and Buddhas must at least have broad minds. They won't mind."
She said, "There are so many people praying to the gods, so the gods must be very busy. If we only pray to one, what if he is busy and doesn't hear us? So it's better to pray to more. Whoever hears us will help us."
Zhou Silang felt that what she said made sense, so he knelt down again and recited the gods and Buddhas he knew. He then focused on introducing his youngest sister, "My sister is the fairy under the seat of Master Tianzun. We were colleagues in our previous life, so we are still acquaintances. You must help me."
Old Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and simply turned around and left. He was afraid that if he continued listening, he would not be able to help but beat someone up.
Zhou Erlang and Zhou Wulang quickly invited a doctor and a midwife from Dali Village, along with Fang's mother and brother and sister-in-law.
There's no way. The village is so small, and the doctor's house and the Fang's house are not far away. I can find out by knocking on the door diagonally opposite.
Now that he knew about it, Zhou Erlang naturally had to tell them. Besides, having a child was a big deal, so he had to tell the woman's family.
This is Fang's first child, which is particularly crucial.
Fang's mother was worried, so she discussed it with her son and decided to come along.
Fang had already started giving birth. The midwife came in to take a look and said, "The cervix is open, it's ready, but don't use too much force, just follow me."
Too many people couldn't enter the delivery room. When Feng saw Fang's mother coming, she washed her hands and left, asking her and Qian to help the midwife.
Xiao Qian brought hot water and asked her to take it in. Mrs. Fang looked around and didn't see Zhou Silang. She couldn't help but pull Xiao Qian to ask, "Sister-in-law, where is my brother-in-law?"
Xiao Qian had just heard her father-in-law quietly scold Zhou Silang, so she naturally knew what he had been doing. She pointed to the courtyard and said, "He's dragging his sister to worship the gods. He said he wanted to worship all the gods and ask them to bless his sister-in-law to have a safe delivery."
Mrs. Fang: ...
Brother Fang was much more satisfied after hearing this.
