Chapter 73 Finding the Best Midwife



All the pencils and notebooks were given to her younger brother, and Huang Yuelan kept the pen for herself.

You can tell at first glance that this fountain pen is of very good quality, and it’s a Hero brand.

Huang Yuelan usually communicated with Wang Jianguo using pencil, but this time she finally used a fountain pen.

As for the new towels and washbasin, they were the same as what Wang Jianguo got last time, and were temporarily placed on the board on the beam.

Wait until the baby in the belly is born, then take it out and give it to them.

Although conditions are difficult now, newborns, like in later generations, basically enjoy the best treatment in the family.

After a busy day, it was late at night and the children were all asleep. Huang Yuelan took out the pen and the newly bought ink, spread out the letter paper, and began to write a letter to Wang Jianguo in the dim yellow kerosene lamplight.

This Hero brand fountain pen is truly the best among domestic products and the pride of the nation. It writes very smoothly and is very lubricated. The words look particularly beautiful. It does not jam the paper or leak ink. It is very easy to use. Huang Yuelan fell deeply in love with it after using it once.

[Brother Jianguo, everything is fine in the army...]

Like Wang Jianguo, Huang Yuelan only reported good news and not bad news when writing to him.

He always told me about the good and happy things that happened at home and never mentioned any hardship or unhappiness in life.

In this letter, Huang Yuelan informed the commune about how it had overcome the difficulties.

Let him know that from now on, Hongqi Commune will no longer have to rely on the weather for its food. Even in drought conditions, it will be able to ensure grain irrigation, thus solving a historical problem. I believe that after he knows this, he will definitely be happy for his hometown.

At the same time, he told Wang Jianguo that he had received many rewards from the commune, including money, tickets and other things, so he could rest assured.

Finally, Huang Yuelan told Wang Jianguo the news that she was almost eight months pregnant.

It is estimated that it will take half a month for the letter to arrive, and when he rushes back, he will be about to give birth.

Half a month later, Wang Jianguo received the letter.

Every time he received Huang Yuelan’s letter, it was the happiest day for Wang Jianguo.

He would read the letter for a long time every time. Wang Jianguo even prepared a special box to store the letters Huang Yuelan wrote to him.

"Platoon Leader Wang, there's a letter for you." said the guard in the message room.

Wang Jianguo walked over, picked up the letter, and at first glance he found that this letter was different from previous ones.

In the past, my wife always wrote letters to me with a pencil, but this time she used a fountain pen.

It was rare that his wife was willing to spend money, and Wang Jianguo was happy for her.

Because he knew that Huang Yuelan was a person who knew how to live well and was very good at saving money. In order to save money, she never bought clothes for herself, but always bought them for her children.

After returning to the dormitory, Wang Jianguo opened the letter and read it.

After reading about the president's reward, Wang Jianguo realized that the pen was not bought by his wife herself, but was a reward from the president.

This made Wang Jianguo feel proud of his wife, but of course he also felt sorry for her as she was still reluctant to spend money on him.

When he read to the end, Wang Jianguo wondered if his eyes were blurry.

To make sure he was not dazzled, Wang Jianguo looked at it twice.

He was not mistaken, his wife was pregnant again, not only that, it had been more than eight months!

If it’s the same as the first time, I’ll be in labor by now!

Wang Jianguo was completely upset.

At this time, even if the king of heaven came, he would have to go home to see his wife.

Wang Jianguo immediately found his leader and asked for leave.

When the leader learned that his wife was pregnant again, he approved the leave immediately without saying anything.

At the same time, I have to sigh that his wife is really fertile.

Wang Jianguo is still in the army and only goes back once every two or three years, yet he still has so many children. If he were like others and stayed at home every day, he would have dozens of children!

"Comrade Wang Jianguo, congratulations on becoming a father again. Be careful on the road!"

Wang Jianguo nodded, "Got it! Thank you for your concern."

After asking for leave, Wang Jianguo returned to the dormitory and simply packed his luggage.

While packing my luggage, I was thinking: When was this child conceived?

After all, I haven't been home for more than a year, and I just passed by and went back half a night...

Could it be that she got pregnant that night?

Wang Jianguo estimated the time and found that it matched exactly.

Yes, the child was born that night.

After all, he had great trust in Huang Yuelan's character.

Wang Jianguo secretly thanked the heavens: Heaven and earth, you are so good to me! Not only did you let me marry my beloved girl, but you also made me a father again.

Besides being happy to be a father, who doesn’t like being a father? Of course, the more the better.

After packing his luggage, Wang Jianguo did not rush to the train station, but took the army’s car directly to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city.

Because I knew that the supply and marketing cooperative at home was short of newborn supplies, especially milk powder, which was a rare item and might not be available, so I had to buy more milk powder.

I don’t know how many babies my wife is pregnant with this time, but she’s expecting at least twins, and I’m afraid the babies won’t have enough milk.

Wang Jianguo bought a lot of milk powder, which was twice as much as his other luggage.

Seeing so much milk powder, Wang Jianguo no longer has to worry about his children not having enough food after they are born.

Thanks to my wife for letting me join the army, I was able to support so many children.

If I continue to stay in the village as a peasant, I may not even be able to afford noodles, let alone milk powder. When my wife gives birth to a child, I won't be able to get enough food. The consequences can be imagined.

Let alone growing him fat, white, tall and strong, the question is whether he can be kept alive.

Thinking of this, Wang Jianguo admired his daughter-in-law's foresight and vision even more.

If Wang Jianguo couldn't come back, Huang Yuelan decided to give birth in the village.

After all, if I go to the county hospital, there will be so many children there, and I have to give birth myself, and my two younger brothers will definitely not be able to take care of them.

She also heard that there were cases of children being lost in hospitals, and that human traffickers liked to prey on those who were left unattended.

In this day and age, there is no surveillance, no computers, and no DNA paternity testing. If a child is lost, it is extremely difficult to find him or her.

Of course, there was another reason for choosing to give birth at home. Huang Yuelan had given birth smoothly before, whether it was triplets or twins, and she had never encountered any problems. So she was particularly confident this time and was not worried about a difficult delivery.

To be on the safe side, Huang Yuelan found out that the midwife with the best reputation and skills was Aunt Wang from the Third Production Brigade.

Even if it costs a few dollars more, for the children, a few dollars is nothing.

That day, Huang Yuelan was sowing seeds in her private plot outside the courtyard wall when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, which became more and more intense.

The pain came for a while and then disappeared, but after ten minutes or so, the pain came back again.

After giving birth twice, Huang Yuelan immediately realized that something was wrong. She put down her farm tools, turned back to the yard, and found her brother: "Yueqiang, this is the money for the midwife. Go to the third production team to find Aunt Wang. My sister is about to give birth."

Huang Yuelan took out money from her apron pocket and handed it to Huang Yueqiang.
