During this period, Jiang Mengxue delivered three babies in the fields, some of whom were called in the middle of the night.
What she never expected was that the woman had just given birth the night before and went to work as usual the next day.
If you have children at home to help take care of the children, just let go.
Those who have no one to help take care of the children will take them directly to the fields and watch over them while they work.
The others were also used to it, obviously thinking that this kind of thing was very common.
Jiang Mengxue was so moved by what she saw that she couldn't say a word.
Can she tell the mother to go home and have a good rest for a few days?
What time is it now? As long as they are not lying on the kang and unable to get out of the fields, men, women, young and old are all participating in the autumn harvest.
People with missing limbs are here, so why can't you, who just gave birth to a child and has nothing to do, do it?
However, Jiang Mengxue also asked Li Cuiying to send some millet and red dates over. It wasn't a large quantity, but it was just a token of her appreciation.
Both of the Gu family's bicycles were borrowed to pay the tax.
So no one in their family went out during this period.
That morning, Jiang Mengxue was helping someone with bandaging at the clinic when her eldest nephew Jiang Yukun came over.
The two sisters-in-law of the Jiang family are about to give birth.
The two became pregnant at about the same time, but they shouldn't have given birth on the same day.
But today, when the two were working together, Jiang Ersao slipped and Jiang Sansao tried to pull her up, but they both accidentally fell down.
Although I didn't fall on my stomach, I was still scared. I was about to give birth.
Jiang's mother was worried that her two daughters-in-law would get hurt in the fall or have a difficult delivery.
She immediately asked someone to help send her daughter-in-law home, and she asked her eldest grandson to come to find Jiang Mengxue without stopping.
Children run fast, and it will take a long time for her to reach the Leaping Team with her old arms and legs.
Jiang Mengxue was also a little anxious, but fortunately their brigade had already finished paying the grain tax, and they didn't have to run at home because they had a car.
She packed her things, got on her bike and left with her nephew.
On the way, I asked about the Taoyuan Brigade.
"Xiao Kun, have you paid the rations to the team? Aren't your grandfather and the others home?"
Jiang Yukun would say, "We all went to pay our taxes today. Dad and his family originally left their bikes at home so that they could come to see you, Second Aunt, when your Second and Third Aunts were having their babies. Who could have thought it would be such a coincidence?"
Today they borrowed a car to go pay their grain tax, but it turned out that the second and third aunts both gave birth today."
Jiang Mengxue couldn't help but think that this was quite a coincidence.
If they had bicycles, the two adjacent brigades could reach each other quickly by bike.
There was not a single idle person along the way, everyone was busy as a rock.
I rode my bike all the way home, and only Jiang's mother and sister-in-law were at home.
Mrs. Jiang was originally working on another piece of land. She only rushed back after someone informed her two younger siblings that they were about to give birth.
Otherwise, Jiang's mother wouldn't be able to handle it all by herself.
Jiang Mengxue first went to check on the two of them.
The two of them were in two different rooms, so Jiang Mengxue could only check both sides.
Two pots of hot water have been boiled in the pot.
Both of them are in good condition and have reached their due dates.
Although there were some accidents today, nothing serious happened.
The first one to give birth was Jiang Sansao. Jiang Mengxue didn't even have time to disinfect the tools before she gave birth.
This was the third child, so the delivery was very quick. The baby was a fat boy weighing five kilograms.
Mother Jiang happily bathed her newborn grandson, her mouth grinning from ear to ear.
Jiang Mengxue had just finished taking care of everything for her third sister-in-law and had no time to explain anything when her eldest sister-in-law came over and called her, saying that her second sister-in-law was about to give birth.
He hurriedly picked up his things and ran to his second sister-in-law's room.
My second sister-in-law also gave birth to a boy, but he is not as well developed as the one born to my third sister-in-law.
Jiang Mengxue weighed it and estimated it was at most four pounds and twelve ounces.
My second sister-in-law gained a lot of weight when she was pregnant, and her belly looked quite big.
But she didn't expect that all the nutrients she supplemented during pregnancy were absorbed by herself, and the child was only average.
When Jiang Ersao learned that the baby was nearly a pound smaller than the baby of the third brother's family, she felt like crying but had no tears.
The third son’s wife didn’t gain weight even when she was pregnant, so why are all the children she gave birth to fat?
On the contrary, all the fat has grown on her body, and her belly has not shrunk even after giving birth.
This may be due to personal physique.
Jiang's mother took the opportunity to prepare dinner.
A light soup cooked for the two daughters-in-law.
You can’t eat too greasy food right after giving birth, so you should eat light food for the first week.
Jiang Mengxue followed her to the kitchen and whispered to her mother, "Mom, my second and third sisters-in-law just gave birth. Do they need some time to recuperate after giving birth?"
It's not that she wants to be nosy.
The mother had just given birth and her body had not yet recovered.
Doing physical work at this time is very bad for your health.
Maybe it will leave a root of disease.
Sometimes the so-called postpartum confinement is not done properly, which means that the arms and legs are under too much pressure for a long time.
Or you may have shoulder and back pain from holding a baby for too long.
So it’s best to take a good rest for a while.
Mother Jiang glanced at her daughter and said coldly, "Why, do you think I'm a wicked mother-in-law? How can I not let you rest for a whole day after giving birth?"
Jiang Mengxue didn't care about her mother's tone and said, "Just one day? That's better than being a wicked mother-in-law."
Jiang's mother was so angry that she laughed. Look around the whole team, how many people can help their daughter-in-law to celebrate the full confinement period?
Especially now that it is autumn harvest time, it is good to be able to rest for a few days.
If it goes on any longer, people will have opinions.
The autumn harvest is not only about an individual’s work points, but also about whether everyone can have enough to eat tomorrow.
Even if Jiang's mother wanted her two daughters-in-law to rest for a few more days, she couldn't do that.
"I've already agreed with your father to let your two sisters-in-law rest at home for three days before going back to work.
When the time comes, I will arrange for her to work in a field closer to home, and she can come back to breastfeed during the work.
I definitely won’t have time to take care of the kids at home by then.
The two younger ones were left at home to look after the children, while the others continued to work in the fields to earn work points."
Jiang Mengxue thought about it and realized that the two youngest children in the family were the third child from her eldest sister-in-law’s family, Jiang Yuwu, who was five years old this year.
Wanwan from my third sister-in-law's family is three years old this year, and both of them are still children.
Jiang's mother actually let them take care of the newborn baby at home?
But children nowadays become sensible at an early age.
Many children who are not well off have to help with housework as soon as they learn to walk.
It’s easy to just watch the baby to see if he’s crying and change his diaper.
"The two little ones can stay at home and feed the chickens and clean the house. They won't earn many work points in the fields anyway."
Jiang Mengxue's mouth twitched, she wanted to say that it was simply too exploitative.
But after thinking about it, I didn't say it out loud.
Times are different, and this word cannot be said at all.
Jiang Mengxue saw that it was still early and was not in a hurry to go home.
I took the pole and went to the river.
I plan to catch a few fish and put them in a tank, and make fish soup to nourish everyone in my family.
In a few days, my two sisters-in-law will be able to eat and produce more milk.
Otherwise, the food you eat may be simple and may not even contain milk.
