When Shi Weihong heard that Xiaomin wanted pig's trotters, she said frankly, "I thought Wang Kui would want pig's trotters. His wife Xiaoyue seemed to have labor this morning. She should have given birth by now."
As a result, a woman who was queuing next to her turned around and interrupted.
"Xuwei's wife, you don't know that Yao Xiaoyue hasn't given birth yet. It's not easy to give birth to twins! Not everyone can have a smooth life like Feng Mei..."
"...I see from your body that you are already pregnant, right? You better be careful and don't squeeze into crowded places."
This is Zhang Shengguo’s wife, Tianniu and Huazi’s mother, her name is Miao Yulan. Lian Xiaomin calls her Third Aunt, and Xie Ling and Shi Weihong call her Third Aunt.
After a chat, it turned out that her family and Wang Kui's were neighbors. She was standing on the pile of firewood and on the top of the wall, so she couldn't see anything going on in the yard.
Miao Yulan said that there was a constant flow of people coming and going into the Wang family, and it was difficult to have children, which made Wang Kui very anxious.
When Lian Xiaomin heard that Yao Xiaoyue might also be having twins, her heart tightened.
This really happened. Feng Mei gave birth to two boys last month. Sandagou is a big village with a large population, and two pregnant women gave birth to twins in succession.
Feng Mei had heavy bleeding during childbirth and she happened to be in the hospital. She secretly stuffed a hemostatic pill into the woman's mouth through the air to stop the bleeding.
I sighed in my heart, alas, the medical level in this era is too poor. It is really difficult to be a woman. Most rural people stay in the village.
If you encounter a big problem, the commune hospital will not be able to help. Who can go to the county town to prepare for delivery just to have a child?
Something happened and it’s too late to go there now.
Shi Weihong touched her belly and said, "Twins are a good thing, but there are risks. Sigh, after hearing about Xiaoyue's story, I can't even eat pork now."
Xiao Lingzi also said: "Yes, my brother went to the team headquarters for a meeting this morning, but Wang Kui didn't go. I heard that Xiaoyue's wife had a seizure this morning, so why did he come to the meeting? When he got home, my brother told us that he was going to have Wang Kui's wedding..."
At this time, Tianniu called Xiaoya and said that she had sewed a small pocket (a small sandbag) and wanted to play with her. Xiaoya clamored to go to Tianniu's house to play.
Lian Xiaomin's heart moved and she thought about it.
"Okay, go ahead. I'll take you there. By the way, I'll take these two pig's trotters to Wang Kui's house. They're just right for eating during confinement."
She took Xiaofu, Xiaoya and Tianniu to Zhang Shengguo's home. She also wanted to see if anything happened to Wang Kui's wife next door.
When they arrived at Zhang Sheng's house, Tianniu led Xiaoya into the courtyard first, followed by Xiaofu and his sister.
Zhang Shengguo was chopping wood in the yard, and his eldest son, fourteen-year-old Zhang Wennian, was also helping.
"Xiaomin is here. Tianniu said that the little schoolbag was given by you. Thank you!"
"Uncle San only has a small cloth bag, nothing special. Yufang and I were strolling in the county town and bought it when we saw it. Tianniu will also go to school next year."
After saying hello, Xiaofu ran over and squatted in a corner of the yard to look at the other person's little black dog.
Xiaoya and Tianniu took out pockets from the house, and you threw them to me and I threw them to you, and then we started playing.
Xiao Ya was too young to catch the balls, so Tian Niu always helped her pick them up, never complaining about being tired. While the two little girls were playing, their laughter as sweet as bells could be heard from time to time.
"Chun Li isn't home? When the pork was being distributed today, I saw Aunt San went alone."
Chunli is the second daughter in his family, two years younger than Zhang Wennian, and is about twelve years old this year.
"Ah, little girl, you are so troublesome, worrying about everything. When Wang Kui's wife next door gave birth, Chunjuan was worried about her. She was busy helping her. She was burning firewood in the stove and didn't even come home."
Zhang Wennian also said, "My eldest sister is kind-hearted. Sister Xiaoyue loves her the most. How could she not be worried? This made her angry."
Lian Xiaomin could faintly hear people walking back and forth and talking in low voices in the next yard.
She squatted beside Xiaofu and played with the puppy together with the baby, but in fact she was releasing her mental power to see what was happening over there.
Wang Kui couldn't sit still in the west room, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
There was a boy about two years old on the kang, who kept trying to reach him with his little hands, but he didn't pay any attention to them.
This should be the eldest child in his family, whose nickname is Guoguo.
Wang Kui's father hugged his grandson, held the child's hand, and coaxed him.
"Da Kui, what are you doing walking back and forth on the ground? I'm dizzy from watching you. Please sit down."
Wang Kui clenched his fists and said in a muffled voice: "It's all my fault. I said I would go to the county hospital in advance and give birth there safely, but it was this shorty who kept pulling me and tripped me up."
Wang Yonghe advised him: "Da Kui, don't think too much. Who could have imagined that there would be a murder case with so many casualties?"
Yao Xiaoyue in the next room almost lost strength several times, but was encouraged by the midwife to keep trying.
Lian Xiaomin didn't know this midwife. She seemed to be a relative of the Wang family and called Wang Kui's mother "sister".
"Second sister, the child's head has already shown a little bit, you should let Xiaoyue try harder, otherwise just give her a mouthful of millet porridge."
Wang Kui's mother shed tears: "How can she have the energy? She vomits everything she eats during this pregnancy. Look how thin Xiaoyue is."
Lian Xiaomin didn't dare to look closely into the delivery room, so she just listened to the voices.
The person watching the stove and lighting the fire in the kitchen outside is Chunjuan.
Although he is very young, he can do all kinds of work. With a frown on his face, he is helping Wang Kui's second brother's wife and second sister-in-law to scoop hot water.
There is a big age gap between Yao Xiaoyue and Wang Kui, eight years apart. This "brother-in-law" is several years older than the eldest sister-in-law.
I heard that it was the second brother Wang Feng who married first, because his eldest brother didn’t like any other daughter.
It was not until he was 27 that he fell in love with Yao Xiaoyue and married her.
After listening to the noise for a while, Lian Xiaomin also became anxious.
But the patient wasn't bleeding heavily or anything, so she couldn't help. She couldn't run over to perform a cesarean section, and she didn't know how to do it anyway!
After thinking for a while, I suddenly had an idea.
How about trying a tonic pill?
Will I feel more energetic? It's not that when I was pregnant, I couldn't eat anything, I was very thin, and I had no energy.
She stood up, holding the backpack that contained her pig's trotters, and spoke.
"By the way, why don't you give the two pig's trotters I exchanged today to Wang Kui's family?"
Zhang Shengguo glanced at her and said, "That's fine. Let's exchange the meat with him. Pig's trotters are good for pregnant women."
Lian Xiaomin made an excuse to go to the next room, and walked straight in with the door wide open.
Xiaoli in the kitchen saw her first.
"Sister Xiaomin, why are you here?"
Wang Kui heard the voice, pushed the door and walked into the yard. He had to greet the visitor.
"Master Lian is here." He also shouted like that, following the group of young people.
"Ah, Captain Wang, I wanted two pig trotters for my pork distribution. I heard that my sister-in-law gave birth to a child, so I'll give them to you. My sister-in-law is playing at Zhang's house, so I came over here and brought them to you."
Then he took out two pig's trotters.
Wang Kui slapped his head and said, "Oh, my family forgot about this. Thank you so much!"
He turned around and shouted into the house: "Dad, if you have nothing to do, go get our meat and change it for pig's trotters for Xiaomin!"
