"What's going on in there?" Li Fuman went to greet Huang Yu when he saw him coming out.
Li Qiushu, who was following him, also showed a rare nervous expression.
"I don't know yet. Grandma asked me to boil some water first." Huang Yu said.
"Boil the water? I'll do it, you stay inside! Oh, and the oil lamps. Take out the oil lamps in all your rooms and send them to Xiulan's room. When the midwife comes later, she won't have to deliver the baby in the dark."
By now, it was already dark, and the wind was strong outside, especially during the New Year.
Li Fuman was very anxious.
He was afraid that the midwife would not come. If he had known this, he would have told his grandson Li Dahu that if the midwife was unwilling to come, he should offer a high price.
He is willing to pay five or ten dollars as long as people are willing to come.
Li Fuman went to the kitchen to boil water. In Zhang Xiulan's room, she began to sweat all over and her stomach hurt more and more.
Old Lady Li found a clean cloth and helped wipe it while asking Huang Yu, "Did Da Hu invite anyone over?"
"Not yet! Grandma, the midwife's house is not close to our production team. Although Dahu ran there, the midwife may not be willing to run with him." Huang Yu said.
Although it was Zhang Xiu Lan who gave birth, Huang Yu was so nervous that her hands and feet were shaking.
When Jin Feng left, she asked her to take care of the person, but when the time really came, she found that she was actually powerless.
"Mom, are you hungry? Let me cook something for you." Huang Yu leaned over and asked Zhang Xiulan.
Zhang Xiulan endured the severe pain and shook her head, "No... no need..."
She had just finished eating dumplings and her stomach was full.
It just hurts so much.
"Mom, hold on a little longer. As soon as the baby is born, I'll...I'll have Dahu go to the city and send a telegram to Jinfeng to let her know about this happy event."
When talking about her daughter Li Jinfeng, Zhang Xiulan's slightly ferocious expression relaxed a little.
Yes, she wanted to give birth to the child. The child would be related to Jinfeng by blood, and would treat her elder sister well in the future.
After everyone waited for almost an hour, Li Dahu finally arrived.
She also brought along the midwife, Wang Lianhua, or Wang Pozi.
Li Dahu went out to call for help in the dark. He fell several times along the way and his cotton-padded jacket was torn, revealing the cotton inside.
But at this moment, no one cares about clothes.
Wang Lianhua came up and asked the Li family, "Where is the woman who gave birth?"
"In the house!" said Li Dahe.
"Find someone to boil some water and prepare some clean towels," Wang Lianhua said.
"The water is ready, a big pot. If it's not enough, I'll boil more!" The speaker was Li Fuman, and his voice was trembling.
You know, giving birth is a life-threatening thing for a woman.
One foot is already closed at the door.
"A big pot? It should be enough for now. Get a wooden barrel, fill it up for me, and send it to the room!" Wang Lianhua said this and entered the delivery room first.
The first thing she did when she went in was to check Zhang Xiu Lan's condition and then look at the birth canal.
Although Zhang Xiulan had already given birth to a child, that was more than ten years ago, and she was still a little nervous.
But after seeing the midwife, the situation improved and I wasn't so nervous anymore.
Outside the house, the Li family members were waiting anxiously.
In the meantime, Wang Lianhua asked Li Fuman to boil some hot water again and prepare food for the mother. After giving birth, a lot of physical energy must have been consumed.
