Chapter 315 Early Birth
Zhang Jinlan drove all her grandchildren out.
Jiang Fubao simply took his brothers and sisters and carried the puppy to the foot of the mountain to play.
After a while, many children came.
Several of them gave Jiang Fubao birthday gifts.
Among them, there are wild fruits from the mountains and wild flowers that were obviously picked from the roadside.
Come closer and take a smell.
There is a faint smell of cow dung.
Jiang Fubao suspected that the flower must have been moistened by her family's cow dung.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so gorgeous.
After playing for a while, I finished cleaning the house.
Jiang Fubao went back to his room to take a nap.
When she woke up again, she and her brothers and sisters stayed in the yard obediently to learn to read.
The afternoon passed quickly. After dinner, a bath, and some cool air, the family went back to the house to get ready for bed.
Jiang Fubao sat on the bed.
The moonlight seeped in from the cracks. She grinned, and using the faint moonlight, she counted the gifts she had received today.
The weather turned cold, and her grandmother no longer allowed her to sleep with the window open.
Afraid that she would catch a cold.
I looked down at the gifts on the bed, which had piled up into a small mountain.
In addition to Meng Bujiu, Kong Mingxue and the gifts for the village children.
There are also family members.
Grandma gave her a red paper package, inside which was a piece of silver, about one diaoqian, or one hundred coins, and a gold peace lock, which was particularly heavy, which she had already hung around her neck.
It's about the same size as the two bracelets Kong Mingxue gave me, and it's a bit too heavy around the neck.
The gift from grandpa was wooden tableware that he made himself.
Although the tableware she usually uses is also made by her grandfather, this time it is an improved version.
I carved a few peach blossoms. Although the lines are simple, they are unexpectedly beautiful.
It has a minimalist feel.
The gift from her mother was the flower headdress she wore today.
The gift my father gave me was a new set of clothes that can only be worn in winter.
The eldest and second uncles were not good at choosing gifts, so they just gave each of them some pocket money, which was the private savings they had secretly saved.
The eldest aunt and the second aunt were very thoughtful. One gave me an embroidery handkerchief and the other gave me a hair tie.
There are also my sister-in-law, my eldest brother, my second brother...
There were a lot of things on the bed.
Jiang Fubao counted the gifts several times before putting them away.
“Woof woof——”
“Woo woo—”
Beside the bed, there were a few dog barking sounds.
It turned out to be Jiang Fubao, who brought the puppy into the house.
That bamboo basket is its temporary home.
Jiang Fubao was thoughtful enough to put straw under it.
She was so tired from playing today that she yawned several times and then lay down to sleep.
At dawn.
The Jiang family's ox cart slowly left the village.
When they arrived in town.
A terrifying roar came from Wang Taohua's family in Jiangjia Village.
"ah--"
"My stomach hurts. Ah, my stomach hurts so much. I'm about to give birth. It hurts so much—"
"Mom, husband, come quickly, my water broke——"
In the toilet, Xu Zhaoer, with her huge belly, cried out heart-wrenchingly.
She was so frightened that she had trouble breathing.
There was a piercing pain in my stomach.
This kind of pain made her wish she could die right now.
"What? Your water broke?"
“I’m coming—”
Now it’s not just Wang Taohua and Jiang You.
Except Jiang Shengzi and Jiang Zuo who did not come to avoid suspicion.
Everyone else came over, including the children.
Help Xu Zhaoer into the house.
Wang Taohua said to her eldest son.
"Your brother wants to accompany your sister-in-law. You should go to the next village and invite the mother-in-law. You must go quickly. Go quickly."
Wang Taohua's hands were shaking with anxiety.
It's really strange, why did my daughter-in-law start so early?
Logically speaking, it should take another ten days or so before the baby is born.
She glanced over her shoulder.
Xu Zhaoer's belly is ridiculously big.
Wang Taohua's mood suddenly became heavy.
She has already reduced the amount of food she gives to her daughter-in-law, so why is her belly still so big? You know, if the baby is too big, it will be difficult to deliver it.
It's all her fault.
Even though we make money at home, we can't eat meat every other day. Now, my daughter-in-law's belly is so big.
If the hemorrhage occurs, both mother and child will die.
Then she shouldn't live anymore.
Wang Taohua was feeling very nervous.
I waited for a full quarter of an hour and listened to the wailing for a full quarter of an hour.
Mrs. Wen came over following Jiang Zuo.
"Starting so soon? Is the hot water ready?" Grandma Wen asked as she entered the door.
Wang Taohua had found this midwife two months in advance.
"Oh no, I forgot. I forgot everything that scared me. I'm going to burn it now." Wang Taohua slapped herself in the face. How could she forget such an important matter?
I was just wondering why my daughter-in-law's belly is so big and she can't even boil water. It's so damn stupid.
"Mom, I've cooked it. I'll go get some water now." Fortunately, Jiang Zuo's daughter-in-law Li Maoya calmed down.
While her mother-in-law was daydreaming, she went to boil water.
Not only did he boil water, he also took some rags and quickly sewed them together. Although the stitches were rough, the cloth was connected at least.
Put the cloth under Xu Zhaoer's buttocks so that he doesn't have to worry about getting the bed and bedding dirty.
For the first time, Wang Taohua felt lucky that she had chosen a good daughter-in-law.
The midwife came into the room, touched Xu Zhaoer's belly and found something wrong.
"You're having twins, didn't the doctor tell you?" The middle-aged woman was very experienced and could tell just by touching the baby.
"What? Twins? Seriously? Oh, I didn't take her to see a doctor in town. Instead, I found the doctor in Sunjia Village, but he didn't say it was twins. Okay, twins are good, but I hope this one will be safe..." After the great joy, there was great shock.
Wang Taohua paused in the middle of her speech.
She couldn't ask in front of her daughter-in-law.
You know, giving birth to twins is particularly difficult. Over the years, only that pair of twins grew up in the village. The others were either born weak and died early, or had hemorrhage and the two children died with their mother.
It is extremely dangerous.
What's more, my daughter-in-law's water broke prematurely.
Wang Taohua became even more frightened.
"Don't worry. Since it's twins, it's better to break the water in advance, in case the babies are too big and have a hemorrhage, then they really can't be saved. The two babies are in the right position, they will definitely be born safely, don't worry."
The old lady was at least forty years old, and the number of children born to her was at least eighty, if not a hundred.
She taught Xu Zhaoer how to exhale.
She also asked Wang Taohua to make some food for her to increase her strength.
The contractions didn't hurt all the time, they came and went many times and finally started at noon.
"Don't scream, don't scream, save your strength, come on, exhale, exhale again, okay, spit it out, spit it out in one gulp, you know how to poop, just treat it as pooping, use force, come on, use force."
Having a good widow is more important than anything else.
Xu Zhaoer was no longer as scared as she was at the beginning. Moreover, since this was her second child, she had some experience.
Listening to the midwife's words, she took a deep breath, exhaled, and exerted force at the same time.
"ah--"
“Wow wow wow—”
"Oh, she's a pretty girl."
