Although everything seemed calm on the surface, there were actually undercurrents. The Great Chanyu's series of actions barely managed to calm the storm.
Time passed unknowingly and it was September, the height of summer. Yu'er's belly was round and bulging, and it was unusually big.
She needed help even when walking with her belly full, and her due date was approaching. In recent days, the Great Chanyu looked absent-minded and useless when he saw Hu Yanlie discussing government affairs.
It's been more than a year, and I've gotten used to seeing my nephew love his wife dearly. As an elder, what can I say? I can't say anything anyway.
Since you care about your wife, you can help her give birth.
Although he was complaining in his heart, he had to pretend to be a kind elder on the surface. He had no choice but to wave his hand and approve the younger generation's leave, and go back to accompany his wife.
Hu Yanlie was so overjoyed that he didn't even notice the look of dismay in the eyes of his elders above him.
The old shaman said that we should pay attention in the next few days, maybe the baby will be born one day.
Being a father for the first time, Hu Yanlie was no less nervous than the pregnant Yu'er.
Day and night, I watched with my own eyes as the flat belly of my beloved gradually expanded and bulged, as if her belly was holding a huge watermelon, so big and round.
Huyan Lie watched silently every day. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was extremely scared in his heart.
Yu'er has a petite figure and her belly is too big. Huyan Lie saw it and felt shocked to see that his wife's belly looked like it was about to burst.
The man stared at his wife's bloated belly with eagle eyes all night long.
No one could tell what emotions were flashing in his gloomy eyes.
He was always worried, afraid that his wife would be in danger if he didn't pay attention. It was like he was living with a time bomb, afraid that it would explode one day.
You are busy with this and that during the day and don't sleep all night. It would be strange if you have the energy to handle government affairs.
As soon as the Great Chanyu let him go, the man hurriedly ran straight to his own tent without even looking back.
He ran very fast to see his wife who was about to give birth.
The Great Chanyu silently watched the tent being opened and closed, and his nephew being blown away like a gust of wind outside the tent. He watched him quietly, and the people serving him even had the leisure to joke with him.
"The prince must be very much in love with the princess. Their relationship is really enviable."
The person making the joke may not have noticed that his tone was full of envy. As for who he envied, no one present knew without guessing.
The Great Chanyu did not respond. He looked away with a lack of interest, and the remaining people resumed the discussion that had been interrupted before.
Hu Yanlie doesn't care whether others are jealous or envious. He has a wife and will soon have a son. He can be called a winner in life.
He walked very fast. When someone greeted him on the road, the two of them would just pass by each other quickly.
The man, who was as fleeting as a gust of wind, thought to himself that no matter whether this baby was a boy or a girl, he would never have another one after this one.
As a male chauvinist, Hu Yanlie never paid much attention to women before he got married. After he got married, he never saw other women except his new wife.
Not to mention paying attention to things like women's pregnancy. Before she became pregnant, he had no idea about it, let alone a vague understanding of it.
When Yu'er became pregnant, the man who loved his wife dearly began to get in touch with and understand these things for the sake of his wife's health.
If you don’t understand, you don’t know. The more you understand, the more frightened you become.
Giving birth to a child for a woman is like going through the gates of hell. If she can get through it, everyone is happy, but if she can't, there are many cases where two people die.
In recent days, Hu Yanlie couldn't sleep all night because he was staring at his wife's increasingly big belly. When he closed his eyes, he saw blood all over the floor. He opened the curtain with dark circles under his eyes.
The pregnant woman in the big tent was very busy. Her feet were swollen from being squeezed by her big belly. She leaned on the small couch and made some small clothes for the baby with Meng'er.
The baby's skin is very tender, so we choose good materials to make clothes, small shoes, and hats. After making one thing, we will ask for another. No matter how much the two of us make, it is never too much.
Hu Yanlie always thought he was magnanimous, but when he saw his wife, with a big belly, still threading the needle and making clothes for the baby in her belly.
Although the child is also his, a man loves his wife more.
He really thought that other people could do the work of making clothes, so why bother his wife?
The man couldn't understand it. He felt sorry for his pregnant wife, but he didn't say anything. He kept everything in his heart. The calm man had his own job.
He just lifted the curtain. Meng'er and Yu'er in the tent were already used to it. They didn't even raise their heads or look towards the exit. They knew who was coming without having to guess.
Hu Yanlie drank a bowl of water in big gulps, then walked to the side of the couch, where a tall man cast a shadow.
Without waiting for the man's eye signal, Meng'er readily picked up the half-finished tiger-head shoes, stood up, said goodbye to the hostess, and then walked out of the tent in small steps.
During this time, she didn't even look in Huyan Lie's direction. She left the tent, and the silent man sat down where Meng'er had just sat.
He didn't say anything, but held his wife's swollen feet with his warm big hands and placed them on his thighs.
She began to knead and dredge the area with appropriate strength, and only then did Yuer put down the needle and thread in her hand.
In front of her was a small mattress that was half-sewn and used to wrap dolls. She asked.
"Why are you so early today?"
When I opened my eyes, I saw the man who was massaging my feet tirelessly. He had handsome features, heroic eyes and eyebrows, but he was silent. He didn't talk much and was more accustomed to expressing himself through actions.
Compared to men who are good at sweet talk but don't give anything in return, Yu'er appreciates people like Hu Yanlie more.
Thinking about how this man has been late and leaving early every day since she became pregnant in order to take care of her, he might have left early again today.
Huyan Lie didn't care about his daughter-in-law's overt and covert temptations.
He just glanced at Yu'er, who didn't know what she was thinking, and replied briefly.
"The Great Chanyu knows you're about to give birth, so he's approved my request for leave. From now on, I'll be at home watching over you every day. This is good, and I can rest assured."
Yu'er thought about it and looked at the man's dark eyes and the dark eyelids under his eyes.
There's no doubt that he was thinking about it all night last night and definitely didn't get enough rest.
On the one hand, Yuer is very happy that her husband cares about her and they have a good relationship. On the other hand, sometimes she feels that men worry too much and think too much.
I didn't know how to comfort her. She touched her belly and thought that everything would be fine after she gave birth. It would be soon, soon.
Perhaps the baby in the belly felt the father's anxiety and the mother's eager anticipation.
Finally, late one night, Yuer inexplicably felt a wetness under her body and her stomach was in pain.
The pregnant woman, her face wrinkled in pain, struggled to raise her hand and patted her husband who was sleeping unsteadily on his side.
The noise was not loud, but Huyan Lie immediately opened his alert eyes.
In the darkness, there was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes. He was so clear-headed that it seemed as if he had not closed his eyes at all in the first half of the night. He was just dozing off. A pregnant woman in great pain.
"I...I think I'm about to give birth. Go find a midwife."
His voice was trembling with pain and he could hardly speak. At the critical moment, Huyan Lie, who was frightened and refused to sleep, showed great mobility.
He jumped off the bed and ran out of the tent at full speed, like a gust of wind that could never be caught up by anyone.
