Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Smooth delivery.
Although Mu Mian was in a hurry, he was still very reliable. He carried Aunt Li on his back all the way quickly and steadily without any stumbling.
The main thing was that she was very familiar with the roads in the brigade. She walked on them every day and knew exactly where the potholes and stones were.
While Mu Mian was going back and forth, Comrade Mu Fugui had already started the fire. They would probably need a lot of hot water, so the pot was filled to the brim.
In the room, Nie Sihui was still screaming in pain, her voice sometimes louder and sometimes softer.
Mu Mian carried the person to the door before putting him down. When he landed on the ground, he asked Grandma Li to support him. He was really steady and reliable from beginning to end.
Aunt Li looked at Zhao Meihua, "How long have you had this headache, little Nie?"
Zhao Meihua: "It's been more than half an hour."
Aunt Li: "I'll go in and take a look."
The two old ladies walked into the house while talking. Mu Mian subconsciously followed them, but was stopped by the old ladies after taking only half a step. "What are you doing in there? Go to your sister-in-law's room and get the diapers and blankets. We'll need them later."
Giving birth to a baby is not something a teenage girl should watch.
Mu Mian, who was stopped, said "Oh", turned around and went into her brother and sister-in-law's room to tidy up.
I had packed up all the things I needed long ago, and had been planning to take them to the hospital in a few days.
According to what they had agreed upon before, they should move in on the 25th, and the baby is expected to be born around the 27th or 28th.
As a result, the packed package was not used at all. The little kid was so impatient that he came out more than a week in advance and chose such a time.
Mu Mian picked up the things and walked quickly towards the old lady's room. She stood at the door and looked up and called into the room, "Grandma, I got the things."
Liu Shuangcui opened the door and reached out to take it. "Go and boil some water with your father. Boil two more pots. When the water boils, scald the basin as well."
Mu Mian listened and leaned over to take a look. "How is my sister-in-law?"
From her angle, she could only see Nie Sihui lying on the kang, grimacing in pain.
Liu Shuangcui: "It's no big deal. Your grandmother Li has checked it out and it's not a big problem."
Mu Mian felt relieved, thought for a moment and said, "Should I get something to eat for my sister-in-law?"
Liu Shuangcui, who was about to explain the matter, nodded and said, "Just take care of it. Make it soupy and don't make it dry. Your sister-in-law probably doesn't have the strength to chew it now."
Mu Mian responded and walked to the kitchen.
The fire had already started.
Mu Fugui was sitting in front of the stove. When he saw Mu Mian come in, he asked a similar question, "How is your sister-in-law?"
Mu Mian was not in a hurry at this moment. She lifted the lid of the big pot and took a look. "Mom said it's not a big problem. Let's put the food in the thermos after this pot boils. I'll see what to prepare for my sister-in-law."
Mu Fugui raised his chin and gestured, "There is still flour in the cupboard. When your mother gave birth to you, I made her a bowl of dumpling soup."
Mu Mian's eyes lit up, "Then make this and beat two eggs into it."
The father and daughter were making fire and cooking noodles respectively, and there was a dog hiding at the door.
After being woken up, Eleven was obviously a little confused about the situation at home. He ran to the old lady's door to look, and then ran behind Mu Mian.
He looks busy, but I don't know what he is busy with.
No one cared about the dog at this moment. Mu Fugui went out and brought in some more firewood. The fire was burning brightly and the bottom of the pot was boiling.
Small bubbles began to appear.
Mu Mian was stirring noodles with chopsticks, and from time to time he pricked up his ears, trying to listen to the movements in the old lady's room. Except for Nie Sihui's occasional cries of pain, he could hear nothing.
Mu Mian was busy with his hands, and his mouth was also busy, "I wonder if my sister-in-law will give birth to a boy or a girl?"
There are all kinds of opinions on this aspect. The most common one is "sour boy, spicy girl". Some aunts in the team also say that a pointed belly means a boy, and a round belly means a girl.
Anyway, there are all kinds of strange and varied things, but in fact, no one can say for sure until the moment it is actually born.
Mu Fugui said in a carefree tone, "It's all the same, but if it's a girl, it'd be better if she looks more like little Nie."
Mu Mian smiled and said, "I guess his eyes must be like my brother's."
Mu Fugui: "Of course, since your great grandfather's generation, we..."
Before Mu Fugui could finish his words, Eleven, who was squatting at the kitchen door, suddenly stood up and called out to the outside.
Mu Mian poked his head out and walked towards the door in confusion, "Is anyone here? Who's coming at this time?"
Just as she walked out, Liu Guizhi's voice rang out from the courtyard gate, "Why are the lights on so brightly in the middle of the night? Little Nie is about to give birth."
Mu Mian's tone was full of surprise, "Aunt Guizhi, why are you here?"
Liu Guizhi: "Your sister Lulan got up to feed the baby, and the baby kept making a fuss. I woke up too, and I saw that the light in your room was on, so I knew something was wrong. How long has it been going on?"
Hu Tou’s younger sister was born at the beginning of this year. The little girl, who is only six or seven months old, is at an age where she is not easy to take care of. When she starts to make a fuss, her crying can wake up the whole family.
Mu Mian: "It's not even an hour yet."
Liu Guizhi walked towards the old lady's room, "I'll go see if there's anyone I can help with."
As he spoke, he walked very fast.
Mu Mian couldn't help at all with the birthing of the child, so she went back to the kitchen to make dumpling soup.
If there is no ready-made broth at home, all I can do is beat two more eggs.
Mu Mian worked quickly and it will be done in a moment.
Giving birth is a physical job, and you have to eat something. Liu Shuangcui fed her one spoonful at a time, and Nie Sihui endured the pain and ate most of it.
When the second pot of water was boiling, Mu Mian looked at her watch. It was already past midnight, and her sister-in-law showed no signs of giving birth.
Mu Fugui was sweating profusely as he was burning the fire. "He is really a troublemaker. He must be a naughty boy. Your brother was like this when he was born. He made your mother suffer a lot."
Mu Mian had a different opinion. "That's not necessarily true. The baby was very well behaved during the months that my sister-in-law was pregnant. I guess it's a niece. Maybe the baby will come out soon."
Facts have proved that Mu Mian really does follow his words.
The entrance to Nie Sihui's uterus opened very quickly, and at around two o'clock in the morning, a cry began to sound.
Mu Mian was very excited. She lay on the window sill, following a little gecko.
The window was closed, so nothing could be seen, but that didn't stop Mu Mian from looking inside. "Is the baby born? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Mu Fugui stood not far away, listening with his ears perked up.
The next second, the old lady's cheerful voice came from inside, "Girl."
Liu Guizhi followed up with a sentence, "He's so handsome!"
There was a lot of noise in the room, which made Mu Mian very curious.
But no matter how curious she was, she couldn't go into the house now. The child was out, but the mother still had to clean up.
By the time everything was done, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
The lights were on in the room. Nie Sihui was lying on the kang a little weakly. Mu Mian held his sister-in-law's hand and looked at the baby lying next to him with a curious look on his face. "She's so red."
The little one was lying there, his body looking like a monkey's butt.
The old lady spoke with the tone of someone who had experienced it, "You will be fair in the future. You were like this when you were born."
Mu Mian raised his eyelids, "Really?"
Liu Shuangcui: "You were even redder than this."
Aunt Li was sitting on a chair nearby to rest. She interrupted and said, "I think she looks a bit like Miss Mian."
Liu Shuangcui nodded in agreement, "Yes, a little bit."
The baby's eyes were closed and a little wrinkled. Mu Mian looked at her eldest niece intently and said, "Why can't I see it?"
Liu Shuangcui: "You can't tell if you haven't seen her enough. Her eyebrows and eyes are quite similar. Her nose and mouth are like Sihui's. Her face is also like Sihui's. When she grows up, she will definitely have an oval face. She is very handsome."
Mu Mian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Our girls will grow up!"
Liu Shuangcui also smiled and said, "You are the best, right?"
Mu Mian waved his hand, "Of course, of course."
His pretended modesty made several adults in the room laugh out loud.
It was already late, the middle of the night, and they were all exhausted, so they didn't have much time to chat.
Zhao Meihua took out two red envelopes from somewhere and gave one to Aunt Li and Liu Guizhi respectively.
Aunt Li sighed and raised her hand to return the favor, "Why are you trying to do this to me?"
Zhao Meihua glared at him, "You don't want something that can bring you some good fortune? If you don't want it, give it back to me."
After she said that, Aunt Li retracted her hand again, "Of course I don't want it, I just think you didn't pack enough, it looks quite thin to me."
Zhao Meihua: "Don't take it."
Beside her, Liu Guizhi put her money in her pocket with a curious look on her face, "If Aunt Li doesn't want it, I will. Aunt Zhao specifically packed a large sum of money."
Aunt Li: "Guizhi, why are you still talking nonsense? When did I say I didn't want it anymore?"
As he said this, he quickly put it in his pocket.
Mu Mian chuckled beside him.
Zhao Meihua instructed, "Mian Ya, send your Grandma Li back."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Li suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "I forgot to tell you, this girl is so fierce, she ran away after I picked her up. I told her not to worry, and then she moved her legs and ran even faster, which scared me to death."
Mu Mian stuck out his tongue sheepishly and gave people a good-natured smile.
Zhao Meihua: "She is very stable. What are you afraid of? She can hold you up even if you fall."
Aunt Li: “………………”
She didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to be held up by a little girl. She had never experienced this in her life.
Mu Mian grabbed the flashlight and said, "Grandma Li, how about I carry it back for you?"
Aunt Li waved her hand and said, "No, just light the way for me."
It’s such a simple thing to light up.
Mu Mian went back and forth for another ten minutes or so. Nie Sihui was so tired that she fell asleep, and the child lay quietly beside her.
Mu Mian tiptoed over and stared at the kid for a long time. There will be one more person in the family from now on! It’s quite magical when you think about it.
As he watched, Mu Mian yawned loudly, and tears flowed down his face.
I didn't feel sleepy just now because I was busy, but now that I'm quiet, my head is instantly filled with sleepiness.
Liu Shuangcui looked at her daughter and said softly, "There's nothing for you to do now, go to bed."
Mu Mian nodded, "Okay."
It was late at night and Mu Mian fell asleep instantly as soon as he pulled the light switch.
