I don’t know if it’s because there’s less to do in winter, everyone stays at home, and young couples have more energy, so they flock to have children in August and September.

The eighth and ninth months refer to the lunar calendar.

Two days after she delivered Niu Xiuying, Damao from the same production team came to Feng Qingxue and said that his wife was about to give birth. When Feng Qingxue rushed to his house, Sanmao, who lived two houses away from Damao, also came and said that his wife was about to give birth.

Well, the two sisters-in-law started working on the same day, but neither of them went to work.

Feng Qingxue took a look at the condition of Damao's wife. So far, there was no movement, and she was still talking and laughing with her. According to her estimation, it would take at least half a day for the birth canal to fully open. So she asked Damao to make her some food to give her enough strength, and then boil some hot water for preparation. Then they passed the two households in the middle and arrived at Sanmao's house. However, Sanmao's wife could not wait any longer, so Feng Qingxue delivered the baby for her first.

Half an hour later, Sanmao's wife gave birth to a daughter, and Damao's mother's face suddenly darkened.

Then she looked at the baby girl whose umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck twice. Her little face was blue and purple, and she was dead. Mother Big Hair breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since she's dead, just throw her away. It's a waste of my ten months of hard work."

Sanmao's wife burst into tears all of a sudden.

"This is a life. The leaders all say that women hold up half the sky, and we must not favor boys over girls!" Feng Qingxue glared at them fiercely and quickly took the baby girl. It took a lot of effort to save her. It was also because the umbilical cord was not wrapped tightly. The fetal heartbeat was strong and powerful when checked before, so there was a chance of saving her. If the umbilical cord was wrapped one more circle or the fetal heart rate was weak, it would be difficult to save her.

Sanmao and his wife hugged their crying daughter and expressed their gratitude in tears, while Damao's mother went to see her eldest daughter-in-law in a huff.

Everything was cleaned up here, but there was no sign of birth from Damao, so Feng Qingxue stayed by her side. It was not until the evening that the birth canal was opened to ten fingers, and a son was born smoothly. This was Damao's wife's fifth child. Two of the previous four were dead and two survived.

Seeing her grandson, Damao's face immediately lit up with joy, and she forced a large bowl of juicy white flour into Feng Qingxue's mouth as a thank you gift.

Three babies were born in three days, and each time the mother and child or mother and daughter were safe. Even the baby with the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck was saved. Feng Qingxue became famous overnight, and many people rushed to do her work for her when she was working.

It’s not over after just picking the corn. The vacated land must be quickly planted with wheat, and the corn cobs must be threshed regardless of whether they are dried or not.

It is much easier to dry corn kernels than corn cobs, and they dry faster.

How to thresh without a thresher?

All by hand.

Feng Qingxue was sitting on the field like everyone else, guarding a pile of corn cobs in groups of three or five. They would first use sharp chopsticks to drill a line on the corn cob from the bottom upwards, and then drill a line every two rows of corn kernels. This line was where the corn kernels had separated from the corn cob. After that, the corn kernels on the corn cob would be easily rubbed off.

Some people use their hands directly, some use the soles of their shoes directly, and some people rub the corn cob core with the corn kernels rubbed off and the corn cob that has been drilled through the thread against each other. The golden corn kernels fall off like running water, and finally only a bare corn cob core is left.

The summer sweet potatoes were successfully stored in the cellar. The strong laborers went to plant wheat, and the ones who were rubbing corn were the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Many people sat on the floor, but Feng Qingxue sat on a stool to avoid compressing her lower abdomen. When others saw her posture, what else could they not understand? Pregnant and non-pregnant women have different walking and sitting postures, and experienced women can tell at a glance.
