Chapter 610 Mother and Daughter Safe
His aunt's words gave Shunzi, who was standing uneasy, a sense of security. He first called out "Yingniang" into the house again, and after receiving a response from Yingniang, he turned around and called to Jindou.
Shunzi took out about ten copper coins from his purse and gave them all to Jindou without counting them. He said to Jindou, "Jindou, your cousin needs your help."
Take this money and go to the street to find the messenger. Tell him to hurry to my house and tell my mother that Yingniang is giving birth at your house. Tell her to come quickly.
You know where I live, right?
Jin Dou quickly and readily gave Shunzi's address. After all, during the New Year and other holidays, her aunt always took Jin Dou, the youngest in the family, to Shunzi's house to exchange gifts. How could Jin Dou not know where Shunzi's house was?
Shunzi nodded, agreeing with what Jindou said. Jindou, feeling affirmed, immediately ran out, took the copper coin, and went to help Shunzi find someone to deliver a message to Shunzi's house.
After Jin Dou left, Shunzi bowed properly to his aunt and then took out a purse from his chest and handed it over.
"I really have to trouble you today, Aunt. I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you for the next month or so."
Please take this money, Aunt, and help me buy some chickens. After Yingniang gives birth, we should at least give Dr. Li a few chickens.
Aunt, Yingniang is carrying twins, it's terrible.
Please, Aunt, go and buy two chickens and some meat. You know perfectly well what a woman who has just given birth should eat and drink. My heart is pounding and my head is spinning, so I'm entrusting everything to you, Aunt."
The aunt initially wanted to refuse the purse in Shunzi's hand, but when she heard Shunzi say that Yingniang might have to stay at her house for postpartum confinement and that she would need to buy chickens and hens, she accepted the purse from Shunzi.
“You are my own nephew, and that’s my nephew’s wife inside. Don’t worry, your aunt will take care of things perfectly for you.”
My aunt was a straightforward person. She took the purse, gave Shunzi a few instructions, and then, like a bead of gold, left.
Before leaving, my aunt instructed Shunzi: "The bundle on the table in the main room contains the baby's blanket, diapers, and clothes that I borrowed from the family in the alley who just had a baby."
"If I'm not back by then and Yingniang has given birth, please pass it inside."
Shunzi kept saying "okay," but his eyes were fixed on the window. He was actually quite panicked, and for a moment he even thought, "Why have a child? If a person doesn't have a child, he'll just die a few years earlier, right?"
Giving birth is too dangerous. My wife, Yingniang, is having twins. If anything happens to her, how am I supposed to live?
The more Shunzi thought about it, the more panicked she became.
Shunzi immediately clung to the crack in the window and shouted into the room, "Dr. Li, Dr. Li, if anything happens, Dr. Li, you must save Yingniang! Save the child if you can, or just save Yingniang. I can't live without Yingniang!"
Inside the house, Li Sanniang, Qiuxiang, and Yingniang heard Shunzi's trembling voice. They wondered what Yingniang thought, but Li Sanniang genuinely felt that Shunzi was a good person to get along with.
Yingniang had a cloth in her mouth and was listening to Li Sanniang's instructions to breathe in and out. Li Sanniang told her to exert more force, so she exerted more force.
Yingniang was focused on giving birth, but Shunzi's words left her unsure whether to be happy or angry.
However, judging from the fact that Yingniang's brows were furrowed in pain but there was still a hint of a smile in her eyes, Yingniang was naturally happy. What woman wouldn't be happy to be cherished and cared for by her husband?
Li San Niang looked at Ying Niang's lower body, where the baby's head had already emerged. However, Li San Niang, with her keen senses, could still hear Shun Zi's murmuring outside the window, buzzing in her ear like a bee, which was quite annoying.
"Qiuxiang, hurry up and go out and shut Shunzi up. His constant nagging is so annoying."
Seeing that Li San Niang was delivering Ying Niang's baby smoothly, Qiu Xiang took Xiao Er out of the house. When she saw Shun Zi still standing outside the window, peeking through the crack, Qiu Xiang coughed loudly, and Shun Zi turned around.
"Third Sister told you to stop nagging; she can hear you from inside the house."
Shunzi's cheeks flushed bright red. While wiping the sweat from her face, she stammered, "Hey, hey, I won't say it, I won't say it."
"Qiu Xiang, come here!"
Qiu Xiang hurried into the house; Li San Niang had called her in to cut the umbilical cord.
Yes, the first child has been born, "It's a baby girl, very fair-skinned."
Li San Niang quickly cleaned the baby girl's mouth and nose, patted the soles of her feet twice, and the baby's unique loud cry rang in her ears.
The commotion of "waaaa, waaaa" made Shunzi, who was outside the house, lose her balance and fall to the ground with a thud. Shunzi muttered, "It's born, it's born, it's born!"
I'm a father now! I'm a father now!
Realizing he had become his father, Shunzi jumped up from the ground and shouted excitedly into the window, "Yingniang, Yingniang, I'm a father now! I'm a father now!"
Yingniang, Yingniang, are you alright?
"Say something to me, Yingniang?"
Inside the room, Qiu Xiang had already tucked the first child into a swaddle blanket and shown it to Ying Niang.
Yingniang, who was staring at the baby's tender face, called out helplessly to the outside, "I know, I know, I'm fine, and the baby is fine too."
A moment later, the sound of a second baby crying rang out in the room.
Although the second child was a bit thinner than the first, the difference wasn't too great, and Li San Niang's on-site assessment concluded that the child was normal.
After cleaning the second child, Li San Niang tucked him into a swaddle blanket and showed him to Ying Niang. "Don't be fooled by how small he is, he's healthy. If you take good care of him during his postpartum period, he'll be the same size as the firstborn in just a few days."
Yingniang looked excitedly at the one in Qiuxiang's arms, then at the one in Li Sanniang's arms. The pressure and pain of being married for many years without children vanished in that instant.
Yingniang couldn't hold back her tears.
Li San Niang placed the child next to Ying Niang, saying, "Alright, stop crying, you mustn't cry."
After saying that, Li San Niang went to do the follow-up work. She watched the placenta being delivered, counted it and found no defects, and then carefully checked it. She even opened her X-ray eyes. Seeing that there were no problems, Li San Niang took out the catgut and alcohol and planned to suture Ying Niang, who had an episiotomy.
"It will hurt a little, but you can bear with it."
Qiu Xiang opened the door and took turns showing the two children to Shunzi right there at the entrance.
Shunzi was so excited he couldn't speak. He covered his nose, squatted down, buried his face in his hands, and burst into tears. He thought to himself, "I'm finally a father! I have an heir!"
