Thinking of that night, Shen Sisi couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.
The deeply buried memories emerged bit by bit, and Xiao Chunyu's pain and cries seemed to be right in front of him.
She was a virgin and it was the first time for her to see a woman giving birth.
The woman who was usually so respectable and gentle had become a completely different person, hysterical in pain.
"At that time, it was raining so hard that I couldn't go out. I braved the heavy rain and went to look for the midwife at the east end of the village. But unfortunately, the midwife had been invited to the neighboring village and couldn't come back for a while."
"I had no choice. In the end, I was the one who helped Xiao Chunyu deliver the baby."
When Shen Sisi recalled that scene, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster.
Such a beautiful and gentle woman from the south of the Yangtze River was so painful that she was hysterical and had no image at all.
It was the first time she had seen such a scene. Seeing so much blood, she almost fainted. She didn't even remember how she delivered the baby. When she came to her senses, the baby was already in her hands.
...
...
She cut the umbilical cord tremblingly, washed the baby with hot water, and wrapped him in a small blanket prepared in advance.
"Chunyu, look... this is your child, a daughter..."
Niu Niu is as thin as a pink little monkey, but her facial features are very delicate. She looks 70% like Xiao Chunyu, and the remaining 30% should be like the child's father!
When Xiao Chunyu saw the child, she cried with joy. Despite her weak body, she took the small swaddling clothes with both hands.
"Sisi, look, this is my daughter... I have a child..."
Sen Sisi nodded with tears in her eyes. This was not only Xiao Chunyu's child, but also her child.
"I want to be the child's godmother!" Shen Sisi burst into laughter.
Xiao Chunyu also narrowed his eyes and smiled gently: "Of course, you can't run away."
They held Niu Niu in their arms, looked at the little girl with curiosity, and marveled at the beauty of life. They were discussing what name to give her when they heard someone outside the house banging a gong and shouting, telling everyone to run quickly because a flash flood was coming and a landslide was occurring ahead.
The rain fell heavily all day long, and a flash flood broke out in the river upstream. The flood rushed into Jinfeng Village, causing the river water to rise and all the houses along the way were washed away by the flood.
After the soil on the mountain absorbed enough water, a landslide occurred, and almost all the houses near the primary school were buried under soil and rocks.
The village chief asked everyone to evacuate quickly, and the young people and educated youth in the village quickly gathered to carry out rescue operations.
When Ana Shen heard the news, she immediately returned to the room: “Chun Yu, you just gave birth to a child, take a good rest, I will go to participate in the rescue first, and I will take care of you when I come back.”
Although the shabby little house they lived in was leaking everywhere, fortunately it was located at a relatively high altitude and not near a cliff, so it was still safe for the time being.
Xiao Chunyu asked her what happened, and she didn't hide anything. She said that several houses near the village primary school were buried, and everyone was organizing to dig out the soil and rescue people.
Hearing that a primary school was nearby, Xiao Chunyu immediately struggled to get up from the bed and tried to run out of the room.
"I...I have several students living there, I want to save them..."
Seeing that her clothes were disheveled and the blood on her body had not yet dried, and she was about to rush into the rain after just giving birth, Shen Sisi was so scared that she grabbed her.
"Are you trying to live?" Shen Sisi knew that Xiao Chunyu was a good teacher, but she was persuaded to drop out of school because of her pregnancy.
In order to preserve its reputation, the school did not publicly "execute" Xiao Chunyu, but simply told her that she was no longer suitable to be a teacher. After all, in this era, getting pregnant before marriage is extremely immoral.
Before her belly became bulging, the school principal asked her to resign voluntarily to save everyone from embarrassment.
Xiao Chunyu is no longer a teacher at the school, but he still cares about those lovely students.
Even after giving birth, she ignored her own health, went barefoot and rushed to the front line of the disaster area.
Shen Sisi knew that she was a kind and warm-hearted person, and she also knew that she was very worried about those children, but she also had to take care of herself. Who has ever seen a woman who had just given birth go down to the ground to save people?
"Xiao Chunyu, lie down!" This was the first time that Shen Sisi spoke so harshly.
"So many people are trying to save the patient. You are not the only one needed. If you rush over now, will your body be able to handle it? If you faint, we will have to spare some manpower to save you. If you develop a chronic disease, you will suffer pain for the rest of your life."
Although Shen Sisi has never given birth to a child, she has heard many aunts and sisters in the village say that the confinement period for women is the most critical period and they must not catch cold.
At this time, the baby was woken up by them, and started crying loudly with his baby voice breaking his heart.
Shen Sisi looked towards ** and saw the child waving his hands high up: "What will happen to the child if you leave?"
Hearing her words, Xiao Chunyu looked back at the pair of small hands reluctantly: "Okay, I'll stay..."
She dragged her tired body back to the little room, and with awkward movements, she carefully picked up the baby: "Be good, don't cry, mommy is here..."
Only then did Shen Sisi feel at ease and closed the door and left. She picked up the hoe in the yard and ran to dig the soil with everyone to save people.
The digging took several hours.
Shen Sisi's arms were numb from digging, and she finally saw a collapsed roof.
From under the roof, there was a faint sound of crying, which sounded like a child.
"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you..."
Everyone tried to get down in a hurry, but as soon as they moved, they felt a shake under their feet and the house was obviously unstable.
"Everyone, don't move. Follow my instructions..." The village chief asked the rest of the people to go down, in case of a second collapse, the people below would be crushed to death.
Everyone slowly retreated to the side. The village chief tried to crawl through the broken bricks and tiles on the roof to rescue people, but the hole was too small and he couldn't get through.
He stood up and looked around, trying to find a thin person, and he found Shen Sisi at a glance.
"Let me do it!" Shen Sisi was not vague and took the initiative to step forward.
The village chief was also hesitant. After all, there were risks down there. If he wasn't careful, he would be buried again by the collapsed houses and soil.
And what would she do if something happened to her, an educated youth from the city?
Shen Sisi knew the village chief’s concerns, but time was life now, and she couldn’t care less.
So, without saying a word, she rolled up her sleeves, lay on the ground, and got into the pile of broken bricks and tiles.
It was very narrow inside, but luckily she was tall and thin, so she could barely squeeze in.
As soon as I entered, I saw a mother inside, holding a boy of seven or eight years old in her arms, and using her back to support the wooden beam behind her.
The mother's face had turned purple and she had already died.
Even before her death, she always maintained a protective posture, using her last bit of strength to provide a way out for her children.
Seeing this scene, Shen Sisi's nose felt sore and tears flowed down uncontrollably. This is an ordinary mother, but also a great mother.
Feeling the mud and water seeping into her head, Shen Sisi stretched out her hand to the child in front of her: "Come with me."
The boy trembled and held Shen Sisi's hand.
"Don't be afraid, I will take you out."
Shen Sisi said softly, but the boy did not move at all. Instead, he reached back and pulled his mother, as if she were still alive: “Mom, why don’t you leave?”
After hearing this, Shen Sisi could no longer hold back her tears.
Young children don’t understand what death is.
"Child...your mother..." Shen Sisi bit her lower lip hard, her mouth full of the taste of blood, and said reluctantly: "Your mother is no longer here, let's go, let's go quickly..."
The little boy burst into tears, holding on to his mother with his little hands, refusing to let go.
While she was struggling, the beam above her head suddenly seemed to have suffered a huge impact and was pressed down an inch. Just as the wood was about to hit Shen Sisi, a figure forced his way in and pushed her aside.
