Chapter 175
"Sister, I...I believe you."
Xia Qing has been sitting here for more than 20 minutes, but unfortunately no one passes by at this time.
She is a nurse herself and knows that it is not feasible to ask someone to leave her alone in this situation.
"Luckily I went to town today and bought scissors and cloth."
It was getting dark, and Tang Wan blocked Xia Qing's sight and pretended to take a pair of scissors and a small piece of cloth from her bicycle.
She picked it up casually from the space and didn't have time to look at it too much. She tore the cloth and put it on the ground, then helped Xia Qing move to the grass beside the road.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
Waves of pain burned Xia Qing's mind, and she bit her hands tightly.
"Sister-in-law, take a deep breath and don't get too excited."
Tang Wan gently covered Xia Qing with her coat. The weather was too cold and she guessed that everyone was staying at home.
Xia Qing's exposed hands were frozen red.
The timing of this child's start was really unfortunate.
Tang Wan knelt in front of Xia Qing and placed her hands on her lower abdomen.
"Baby, Mommy will help Auntie, just be good."
There was no movement in her stomach, so Tang Wan took out a water bag from her bicycle.
While Xia Qing was not paying attention, she added space water into the water bag.
"Sister-in-law, drink some water to refresh yourself."
"Thank you!"
Xia Qing gulped down several gulps of water, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes due to the pain.
“Giving birth is so painful!”
She slightly bent her body, it was so painful that she could only bite her fingers.
"Sister-in-law, don't be anxious."
It was a very cold day and Tang Wan was sweating profusely, worried that Xia Qing couldn't hold on.
She gritted her teeth, took out a silver needle from the space, and then inserted it into Xia Qing's body. She placed her palm on Xia Qing's abdomen and gently rubbed the fetal position.
"Big sister, you are quite good."
It was so painful that Xia Qing didn't notice the silver needle and just thought Tang Wan was correcting her fetal position.
"Save your energy."
Tang Wan was not the first person to deliver a baby. Before she traveled through time, she had saved several women in labor by chance.
After some movements, she shouted in surprise: "The head is out, sister-in-law, try harder."
"good."
Xia Qing's face turned red, and according to Tang Wan's breathing, she exerted force and a slippery doll slid onto Tang Wan's hands.
Wow……
The loud cry of the child made Xia Qing's eyes warm and tears immediately filled her face.
"It's okay, it's okay, sister-in-law, please don't move."
Tang Wan secretly took something from the space to disinfect the scissors, then cut the umbilical cord, put away the placenta, and quietly pulled out the silver needle.
Without water to wash the doll, she could only wrap it in cloth because the weather was too cold and she was afraid the baby would freeze.
Tang Wan took off her coat and hugged the baby.
Xia Qing's eyes became hot after seeing this. "Thank you, thank you, your sister. Is it a boy or a girl?"
"boy."
Just as Tang Wan finished speaking, she heard the sound of a car, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Then he quickly picked up the cloth next to him and covered Xia Qing with it to cover her.
The car stopped in front of them, and Lu Huaijing and Captain Xu jumped out of the car.
"Wife!"
Captain Xu exclaimed and ran to see Xia Qing, and Lu Huaijing also eagerly put his coat on Tang Wan.
Then he looked at the child in her arms and was dumbfounded.
"What are you looking at? This is Captain Xu's child."
Tang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Captain Xu had already carried the weak Xia Qing into the car.
"Thank you, thank you, Xiaolu's wife!"
Captain Xu, a grown man, was so moved that he burst into tears. Xia Qing told her that it was Tang Wan who delivered the baby for her.
"We are all from the same compound, we are revolutionary comrades, and we should help each other."
Tang Wan held the child in her arms and got into the car. She watched him load the bicycle and other things into the car. "Lu Huaijing, let's go to the hospital."
"Yeah, okay."
Lu Huaijing strode into the car and drove towards the military hospital. Commander Xu in the back comforted Xia Qing in a gentle voice.
Xia Qing, who had been relatively calm just now, couldn't help crying and sobbed.
"Xu, you bastard, I will never give birth to a child for you again!"
"Okay, okay, let's not have any more children."
Captain Xu, a rough man, was extremely anxious as Tang Wan didn't even bother to check on the child in her arms for such a long time.
Xia Qing was so angry that she started crying again, "You have two sons, so you don't care about the son I gave birth to?"
"Nothing. Am I not just worried about you?"
Captain Xu begged for mercy repeatedly, and Tang Wan had to cry and laugh in front of him, looking at the red baby in her arms.
Perhaps the baby was still feeling a little uncomfortable after just coming out of the womb. He curled up lazily, with his eyelids half-closed.
Maybe he was a little hungry, and he smacked his lips from time to time.
"So cute."
Tang Wan teased the child in her arms, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll hold him."
There is still amniotic fluid on this child's body that has not been wiped off. It needs to be cleaned thoroughly when we go to the hospital.
Fortunately, the military hospital was not far away and we arrived there quickly. It was already evening and there were not many people on night shift.
Everyone in the hospital knew Xia Qing, and those who had just got off work came back in less than an hour.
The point is that the food in their stomachs has been emptied, and everyone's faces are filled with curiosity.
It was Xia Qing's sister, Doctor Xia, who noticed them getting off the car and hurried over.
"Xia Qing, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister, I gave birth on the road."
A bitter smile appeared on Xia Qing's face. She didn't expect things to be so coincidental.
"It was Miss Tang Wan who delivered the baby for me."
"My God, you are so lucky."
Doctor Xia hurried forward and looked at her carefully. "Come on, you and the child should go in for a checkup."
She handed Xia Qing and the child to the doctors and nurses, and said to Tang Wan with gratitude:
"Comrade Tang, thank you very much. It's you who saved my sister."
"You're welcome. The situation is urgent and I have no choice but to take the risk. I hope you don't mind."
Tang Wan spoke humbly as she watched them send Xia Qing in for examination. Doctor Xia felt uneasy if he didn't check the patient himself, so he went along as well.
Leaving Tang Wan and the others outside, Lu Huaijing felt a little scared and he held Tang Wan's hand.
"Wife, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Tang Wan just felt a little uncomfortable because her body was covered in blood.
"Xiao Lu, your wife has worked hard, take her home to rest first."
Captain Xu knew that Tang Wan was still pregnant and was afraid of tiring her out, after all, he was her family's benefactor.
"Okay, then, Captain, I'll go back first."
Lu Huaijing was eager to take Tang Wan back first. Hearing what he said, he felt like he had been pardoned.
He hurriedly pulled Tang Wan into the car and left.
In the car, Lu Huaijing said with fear: "I didn't see you when I came back, but I saw the note on the table.
It's so unsafe to go out in this weather. I saw you haven't come back yet, and I was so worried.
It just so happened that Captain Xu was also looking for a wife, so we drove out together to look for you."
"I'm not the one who gave birth to the child, why are you frowning?"
Tang Wan could see that Lu Huaijing was feeling a little uncomfortable, so she acted coquettishly and begged for mercy.
"Okay, don't be angry, okay? I didn't mean it. I just forgot Grandpa's birthday.
Besides, if it weren’t for me, my sister-in-law wouldn’t have had a good time giving birth today.”
