After hearing Xu Manman's arrangements, no one else had any objections and immediately took action in an orderly manner. Xu Manman returned to her room, made a cup of boiled space water to mix brown sugar and eggs, and took a few pieces of egg cakes.
Liu Li was helping Liu Hua wipe the sweat off his face. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing, and she was extremely nervous. When she saw Xu Manman come in, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Liu Zhiqing, I'm here. Go see if Xu Zhiqing needs any help."
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
After Liu Li went out, Xu Manman helped Liu Hua eat. Liu Hua was in severe contractions, sweating coldly, and still breathing heavily. Xu Manman kept guiding her breathing.
"Here she comes, the midwife is here."
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Then Li Xiao came in with an elderly mother-in-law, sweating profusely.
"Xu Zhiqing, how is Ah Hua?"
"She's not doing badly right now. I just gave her a cup of brown sugar and egg tea."
"That's great! A woman who has just given birth needs to be well fed to have more strength. Li Zhiqing, you can leave first. Leave this girl here to help me. And by the way, get some hot water, towels, and a small blanket for the baby."
Li Xiao was a little hesitant. Xu Zhiqing hadn't gotten married yet. "Okay, I'll go get the things ready. Xu Zhiqing, go ask Wan Zhiqing if it's convenient for him to come and help."
The midwife saw that there was someone else in the room, so she just said it casually. Now when she heard they wanted to change people, she realized it and didn't have any objections.
Xu Manman also felt that it was not a good idea for her to stay at the scene, so she went out to find Wan Fang at the opposite door. She had just coaxed her child to sleep, and when she heard that she needed help, she immediately stood up.
"I'll go over first, Manman. I need you to look after Xiaobao for me."
The delivery lasted for an hour or two. Xu Manman stayed in Wan Fang's room to watch over Xiaobao as he slept. Although it was late at night, the lights in the educated youth site were still on and no one wanted to sleep.
Liu Hua must have something in her mouth, but her groans could be heard across the yard and the door. Experiencing childbirth at such close range made everyone feel a little anxious.
Finally, the cry of a baby broke the dull night.
Zhang Yuan patted Li Xiao's shoulder and said, "It's born, it's born, hahaha, Li Xiao, you're a father now."
Li Xiao was now more worried about his wife, so he asked the person inside through the door, "Wan Zhiqing, how is Ah Hua?"
Wan Fang also happily said, "Liu Hua is fine, mother and child are safe. Li Zhiqing, congratulations on having a big fat boy."
After hearing this, Li Xiao relaxed completely, and the people at the educated youth site also breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiao was saying to the barefoot doctor who was waiting in the yard, "Doctor Liu, thank you for waiting for so long. I'd like to trouble you to take the adult's pulse later." Li Xiao still wanted to be absolutely sure.
The barefoot doctor who had been sitting there for an hour or two was not annoyed. Having a baby was a happy event, and the people at the educated youth site were generous. One visit earned more than he earned in a week. Not to mention an hour or two, he would be happy to wait even for a whole night.
Just as he finished his thought, Zhan Tianqi rushed out anxiously, "I...I...Lily is about to give birth. How long will it take for the midwife to come to the hospital?"
"ah?"
This caught everyone at the educated youth site off guard. Just as one birth had finished, another one started over there?
Li Xiao, who had just become a father, regained his sanity at this time. After all, he had some experience. "The delivery shouldn't be that fast. Why don't we ask the doctor to take my pulse first, and then send the midwife over after we've cleaned up inside."
Zhan Tianqi nodded, quickly helped the barefoot doctor next to him and walked into the house.
Xu Manman wrapped Xiaobao with a pillow to ensure that he would not fall, then went back to the house and made a cup of egg tea and brought it to Yang Lili.
The doctor just finished taking the baby's pulse and said, "Both mother and baby are doing well. They are about a month away from full term. The mother was in good health and had adequate nutrition. The birth won't be a big deal. However, it looks like it will be a while before the baby is born. You can eat something to replenish your energy."
He was the one who diagnosed the pregnancy at that time, so he knew the pregnancy situation of the pregnant woman.
Xu Manman quickly handed over the egg tea and egg cake, "Zhan Tianqi, I made some brown sugar eggs, you can feed it to Lily."
Zhan Tianqi thanked her and took it. Yang Lili had just gotten over the pain and had the strength to eat from the bowl by herself. It had been several hours since she had dinner, so she was really hungry now.
She came out with an empty bowl. Because of the experience just now, Liu Li and Xu Meili continued to light the fire in the big kitchen. When they saw Xu Manman coming out, they waved to her to come over.
Liu Li asked, "How is Lily?"
"It's okay. The doctor just took my pulse and it's fine. If I give birth, it should take a while. It should be fine once Liu Hua is done."
Liu Li breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. How could this happen to be such a coincidence?"
It’s really a coincidence that pregnancies and childbirths happen at the same time.
