Chen Jianghe and Xu Meiling knew that they would not be able to have dinner today, so they got up and took their children home.
Xu Meiling also took away the chicken soup in the pot.
Xu Huaizhi talked loudly, but in the end he stayed by Xu Huai's side, worried that Xu Huai would run out of strength halfway through the walk and delay Yan Lijun's treatment.
Lin Xiaomeng and Gu Qinghuan also put their children in place, found the swaddling clothes and small clothes prepared by Yan Lijun, and quickly caught up with the cart.
After all, when giving birth to a child is inconvenient for two men, they can still help.
Although usually one thousand or ten thousand people look down on Xu Huaiyu, but two lives were at stake, so they had to help.
If they didn't help, given Liu Guifang and Xu Huaibo's attitude, it's hard to imagine what would happen to the mother and son.
Yan Lijun's water broke halfway through the process, and she began to experience uterine contractions, which would hurt for a few minutes and then ease up for a while.
Lin Xiaomeng, the only one among them who had given birth, comforted her: "Don't worry, this is a normal response to childbirth. I was like this when I gave birth to Dacheng. I had intermittent pains, just like I had to go to the toilet.
You should rest up now, because there is a tough battle ahead."
It was Yan Lijun's first childbirth, and she felt very happy when someone comforted her.
"Thank you, thank you, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law."
Seeing that her mental state was not too bad, Gu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She still remembered Xu Meiling's miserable look.
"You haven't had dinner yet, so you won't have the strength to give birth later. I have some White Rabbit candies here, you can try them." Gu Qinghuan took out a few White Rabbit candies from his trouser pocket and stuffed them into Yan Lijun's hand.
She trembled as she unwrapped the candy wrapper and put one in her mouth. It tasted sweet and milky, but her heart felt as bitter as if it was soaked in yellow lotus.
If she had known at the beginning that Xu Huai was such a person, she would never have married him no matter what.
A man's mouth is a lie. All the vows and love made before marriage are fake.
His true nature was revealed immediately after marriage.
If he could support the family, handle the work, and only care about the family, she would accept him.
But not only is he addicted to living off his wife, he is also lazy and gluttonous, squanders the money his wife has worked hard to earn, and even ignores the lives of his wife and children at critical moments.
She really couldn't find the meaning to continue to endure Xu Huai.
The slap he just gave not only hit Yan Lijun's body, but also her heart.
Along the way, Xu Huaizhi changed sides once, while Gu Qinghuan and Lin Xiaomeng also helped push the cart from behind.
Finally, we sent them to the commune. They were so hot that they looked like they had just been pulled out of the water. They were very nervous.
There was a male doctor on duty, and Xu Huai instinctively rejected him and asked for a female doctor to come instead.
Yan Lijun's contractions became more and more frequent, and she had no way of expressing her wishes.
Gu Qinghuan saw that she was in great pain, and it would be too late to replace her now. Besides, the commune was so small, it was unclear whether there was a female doctor.
If an ordinary nurse is used to deliver a baby, she may not be as reliable as a male doctor.
"We only have male doctors here. If you really don't want to see one, go find a midwife." The middle-aged male doctor said unhappily.
Human lives are at stake. What do you think of these doctors?
Xu Huaizhi and Lin Xiaomeng didn't know what to do for a while. After all, this problem could be big or small, and the people involved were innocent. If they helped to make the decision, it would be bad if they were blamed later.
Xu Huai was also in trouble.
"It's so late now, saving her life is the most important! Hurry up and carry the person in, doctor, please prepare to deliver the baby. She fell and gave birth prematurely. The original due date was supposed to be in this month." Gu Qinghuan told the doctor the situation concisely.
Seeing her nodding her head, Xu Huaizhi and Lin Xiaomeng also made up their minds, and the two of them helped the doctor carry the person into the operating room.
Xu Huai glared at her and said unhappily, "How can you have a say here?"
Gu Qinghuan grabbed him and threw him two meters away.
"Get out of here! This is a matter of life and death. I have to say it. Just wait. If anything happens to Yan Lijun, her parents will tear you to pieces.
"You don't even care about your wife and children, why do you want to go to the Agricultural and Military University? You're dreaming!" Gu Qinghuan said this deliberately to force him to make a decision.
Sure enough, Xu Huai was quick-witted. If anything happened to Yan Lijun today, her vampire parents would definitely come after their family, and they didn't know how much money they would have to spend to settle the matter.
And he would not allow anything to interfere with his admission to the Agricultural and Military University.
So he had no choice but to compromise and was forced by Gu Qinghuan to sign the consent form.
Yan Lijun was pushed in, and the four of them sat in the dimly lit corridor waiting.
Xu Huai was getting anxious at this time, pacing back and forth, muttering to himself.
The soundproofing was poor, and Yan Lijun's screams could be heard from the corridor from time to time, which was terrifying.
Gu Qinghuan had never given birth before, and she had only heard others say that childbirth was painful. But when she saw the real childbirth scene, her entire body was like cerebellar atrophy. It was too scary.
It must be so painful to scream like that. She involuntarily moved closer to Lin Xiaomeng.
Lin Xiaomeng patted her shoulder and said, "It's normal. It's like this when giving birth. When I gave birth to Dacheng, I started to feel pain at 10 pm and gave birth at 15 pm in the morning.
I felt like I had stepped into the gates of hell and nearly lost half my life, but now I have forgotten exactly how it hurt."
Gu Qinghuan listened to these occasional screams for about an hour.
The door of the operating room was opened.
A small swaddling baby was brought in by the female nurse.
"It's a boy, both mother and child are safe, the baby was born prematurely and weighs only a little over four pounds.
Who can hold me? I have to go and see the doctor. The woman is getting stitches. She is badly torn."
When Xu Huai heard that it was a boy, he was immediately delighted.
He has a son.
She wanted to hug him but didn't dare, for fear of hurting him. The child was too small, like a monkey, and wrinkled, in stark contrast to the chubby girl at her sister Xu Meiling's house.
Neither man dared to hug her, Xu Huaizhi even took a step back, saying that he was not capable of doing this job at all.
Gu Qinghuan didn't dare to hug her either.
Only Lin Xiaomeng stepped forward and took the child skillfully.
The baby's voice is like that of a newborn kitten, so small that you can't hear it unless you listen carefully. No wonder they didn't hear anything just now.
Gu Qinghuan and Lin Xiaomeng both felt sorry for this poor child. He was born prematurely and weighed only 4 grams. It was not known whether he could survive!
It's not uncommon for a child to be unable to be raised these days. It's common for a child to be over ten years old, let alone a baby this fragile who would break at the slightest touch.
Why do families want to have so many children? It is because they are afraid that some of the children will die prematurely.
Give birth to more children, if one doesn't live, another one will live. This is the cruel truth of the world.
The four of them gathered together and looked at the newborn.
It was a rare occasion that Xu Huai did not act like a demon.
The child suddenly burst into tears, his face flushed red, veins on his forehead bulged, and Lin Xiaomeng opened the blanket to check.
"If you don't pee, you must be hungry!"
Gu Qinghuan searched for the "delivery bag" prepared by Yan Lijun, but found no milk powder in it.
Come to think of it, milk powder is an expensive item these days. Not only does it require a ticket, but a bag of milk powder would cost her half a month's salary.
There is milk powder in Gu Qinghuan's space.
I thought about it and came up with an idea.
Gu Qinghuan brought Dui a spoonful of milk powder with Lingquan water, and said to the few people that she used milk candy water made from White Rabbit milk candy.
Without milk, milk sugar water is better than nothing.
Don't talk about what newborns can't eat. At this time, who cares about so many things? What matters most is staying alive.
Gu Qinghuan specially used the water from the 깊ling spring as his first sip of water, hoping that it could help this little guy and help him grow up healthily.
Lin Xiaomeng fed him little by little with a small spoon.
The little guy smelled the aroma of milk and was extremely hungry. He sucked it into his mouth with all his strength.
Eating is a baby's instinct.
The child stopped crying and fell asleep sweetly after drinking the "milk sugar water".
The adults breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yan Lijun was also pushed in, and she had fallen asleep.
Gu Qinghuan instructed Xu Huai to pay the money, while he followed the doctor to inquire about Yan Lijun's condition.
Doctors and hospitals in this era are still very humane. Because their situation was urgent and there was only one doctor and nurse on duty, they were overwhelmed and didn't even have time to collect the money, so they pushed Yan Lijun in to assist in the delivery.
Gu Qinghuan asked about Yan Lijun's condition. The doctor said that she was in very poor health, very skinny, with many tears on her body and many stitches. This was a good opportunity for her to take good care of herself.
He specifically reminded me not to work or do strenuous exercise during the confinement period to prevent the uterus from shifting.
He also cited to Gu Qinghuan several cases of rural women whose uteruses fell out of their cervixes, asking them to pay more attention.
It really randomly frightened a childless young woman to death.
Gu Qinghuan never knew that having a child would bring such serious consequences.
"Comrade, you are from a big city, right? Your accent doesn't sound like ours.
In small rural areas, women have backward ideas and most of them choose to deliver their babies at home. If they use incorrect force, one out of ten women will have their uterus torn.
After the tear, some good midwives will sew it up, while some inexperienced midwives will just leave the hole alone.
If the mother is not careful, the tear will become bigger and bigger and will take a long time to recover. If this happens, she will immediately go to work.
If you use too much force, the uterus and the small intestine will easily fall out.
The worst one I've ever seen.
A woman in her fifties, brought here by her daughter.
She went back to her parents' home and slept on the same kang with her mother. She smelled a foul odor and checked everywhere, discovering that it came from her mother's body.
The mother refused to let her see it, and finally her daughter opened it forcefully. Only then did she discover a strange bag in her mother's crotch. No wonder she walked so strangely.
The bad smell comes from this bag.
What's in it? It's her mother's small intestine, uterus and other tissues, which have been infected and wrapped together with pus, and have a fishy smell.
For a normal person, this would be a tremendous pain to endure, but her mother said nothing.
She gave birth to five children, and each time she started working and carrying heavy objects right after giving birth, which led to such serious consequences. She also paid attention to the precautions for both men and women and sought medical treatment from time to time.
In a small place like ours, we can't treat such a serious disease. We have to go to the provincial capital at least.
I recommended that they go to the provincial capital for surgery, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.
In the end, they didn't go, and the female comrade left soon after, which was a pity.
Rural people are too ignorant and always take unnecessary things too seriously, which actually harms themselves.
If it had been discovered and treated earlier, it would never have turned out like this.” The doctor said with emotion.
He also saw that Gu Qinghuan was a clear-headed person, so he said so much.
