Chapter 258 Born, New Year's Day
"I'll do it! I'll deliver the baby!"
Everyone turned their eyes and looked at Liu Xiangmei.
In front of everyone, Liu Xiangmei took off her heavy coat, rolled up her sleeves, took a deep breath, and spoke with her chest puffed out.
"I've never eaten pork, but I've seen a pig run away. I've already given birth to two babies. It's just a delivery. It's no problem!"
Judging from the way Liu Xiangmei spoke, she seemed confident.
But when she turned and walked into Jiang Ning's room, her legs unexpectedly went weak.
The left foot accidentally kicked the right foot.
I almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Liu Xiangmei reacted quickly and immediately reached out to hold the shelf beside her.
Liu Xiangmei was obviously afraid and unsure.
But in this situation, there is no reliable doctor and Jiang Ning is about to give birth. What else can I do? I have to force it!
When Liu Xiangmei was in her hometown, she also had the experience of delivering a baby for her next-door neighbor.
She wasn't just being a hero, either.
After a deep breath.
Liu Xiangmei walked to Jiang Ning, got close to her and spoke in a low voice.
"Sister Ning, we have been neighbors for almost a year. I do like to take advantage of others, and I have done many things wrong, but every time you have something delicious, you are willing to share it with me, especially taking care of my two daughters.
"When I had a quarrel with my husband and couldn't do anything about my mother-in-law, you gave me advice and helped me find a solution. You also took us in."
"Sister Ning, I will always remember how good you have been to me and to our eldest daughter and second daughter. Don't be afraid, trust me, I won't hurt you. Since there are really no doctors around, I will deliver your baby. Don't worry, I will be able to do it!"
Jiang Ning's hands trembled as he tightly grasped Liu Xiangmei's wrists.
She was in so much pain that her whole body was twitching and her legs were shaking constantly.
In a weak voice, whispered softly.
"Sister Xiangmei, please...please..."
Feeling Jiang Ning's tight grip, Liu Xiangmei felt a surge of heat and soreness in her eyes.
She blinked hard!
"I will make sure you and the two children are safe!"
Liu Xiangmei promised in a resounding voice.
And then.
There was another round of chaos and war.
Basin after basin of hot water was delivered to the room.
After being dyed red, they were brought out one basin after another.
That bright red is shocking.
Jiang Ning's cries of pain were clearly audible at first, but later became faint and intermittent.
That was Jiang Ning's constantly depleting physical strength.
Wang Chunxia would put a candy into Jiang Ning's mouth from time to time, but Jiang Ning didn't even have the strength to eat the candy.
"Push harder... Sister Ning, don't give up... Push harder..."
"It's open, it's open..."
"Put on a little more strength...it will come out soon...come on..."
…
At the same time.
Field command post on the front line.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Even at night, the sound of artillery shells was deafening.
This kind of sound is like the sound of firecrackers during the New Year.
Amid the flames, countless soldiers lay in the ditches and spent the New Year's Eve like this.
Qin Jiulie was sitting in front of a makeshift desk, looking through a military map that showed the troops' latest march routes.
The battle situation changes every day.
He must make military adjustments based on the daily summary information.
With a bang!
There was another series of explosions.
The whole hill seemed to shake.
The makeshift tent became shaky.
Only Qin Jiulie's figure remained motionless.
He made some minor changes on the military map and then studied and confirmed it carefully, with a serious and meticulous look on his handsome face.
"Report!"
The solemn atmosphere was interrupted by a report.
"Come in."
Qin Jiulie ordered coldly.
The curtain of the tent was opened, and a little soldier in dark green military uniform walked in.
He is Qin Jiulie's new orderly.
Gao Fang had already been incorporated into the organization and became a full-fledged company commander, and he no longer stayed with Qin Jiulie.
The young soldier looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an immature face and a thin body. It was obvious that he had just joined the army not long ago.
Such recruits came to the front line without hesitation.
When the young soldier approached, he saluted Qin Jiulie respectfully.
"Captain Qin."
Immediately following.
The little soldier carefully held out an enamel cup.
"Captain Qin, these are dumplings. They're still hot. Please eat some."
Qin Jiulie raised his black eyes and looked at the little soldier with a dignified gaze.
The little soldier's back felt numb, but he still had a smile on his face.
He has been following Qin Jiulie for almost two months, and has gradually figured out that Captain Qin, who looks like a cold-faced devil, is actually a person with a warm heart.
Qin Jiulie asked, "Have you eaten?"
The little soldier replied hastily.
"Captain Qin, the kitchen staff made a lot of dumplings. We have all eaten them. This portion is yours."
After hearing this, Qin Jiulie's expression relaxed.
Seeing this, the little soldier quickly opened the lid of the enamel cup, and a stream of hot steam came out.
"Captain Qin, eat it while it's hot. I'm going back to stand guard. Um - Happy New Year!"
The little soldier saluted again with a snap.
Qin Jiulie replied in a deep voice, "Happy New Year, thank you for your hard work."
When the little soldier heard this, he walked out with even more force.
After the little soldier left.
Qin Jiulie rubbed his tense brows, then picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the hot dumplings.
This bite...
None of the dumplings made by his wife are as delicious!
The man thought so in his heart.
On a day like today, I don’t know what Jiang Ning is doing now...
The first New Year for the two of them was spent in a foreign land.
Qin Jiulie ate dumplings with an expressionless face, and it was unclear whether he was distracted or just being careless.
Suddenly.
He bit his tongue.
The taste of rust permeates the mouth.
Qin Jiulie's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
For no reason, I panicked.
…
“Wow wow wow… wow wow wow…”
I don’t know how long it had been, but the sound of a baby crying finally rang out in the heavy and depressing house.
"It's born! It's finally born!"
"It's a little girl, a very fair and clean little girl!"
"Listen to the loud cry. It's a healthy baby girl."
The little baby was placed in the soft swaddling clothes that Jiang Ning had prepared long ago.
After hearing the first cry, everyone's hearts, which had been hanging in the air, finally felt a little relieved.
"Let me see it, let me see it."
"Don't push! Be careful not to squeeze the child!"
"Look at the time, look at the time...it's already past twelve o'clock, it's the new year, the first day of the new year!"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the most festive day of the year, Jiang Ning's first child was finally born.
But this is just the beginning, and far from the end.
