"Dad! Dad is back!" Wang Aiguo was stunned for a moment and looked at Wang Jianguo in disbelief.
Wang Jianguo touched Wang Aiguo's head and asked, "Where's your mother, and where's your uncle?"
Wang Aiguo: "My uncle is looking after my little brother in the room, and my mother is giving birth to my little brother in the room."
The midwife also heard the man's voice outside, so she came out. Seeing Wang Jianguo in military uniform, she thought he was here for something, so she asked, "Who are you?"
Wang Jianguo: "I am the child's father."
"Ah! You are the father of the child?! How can you be a father like this? You have been missing the whole day, and you just came back after you gave birth to two children." The midwife thought, her wife is about to give birth, why is she still running around, couldn't she just stay at home and take care of her?
Wang Jianguo didn't have time to explain, and asked with concern: "How is my wife?"
Midwife: "From noon till now, the first two babies went smoothly, but the third one was difficult. Do you want to send your daughter-in-law to the hospital? Or continue to give birth at home?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo walked into the room and saw Huang Yuelan lying on the bed, dying and now unconscious.
"Yuelan, I'm back, can you hear me?" Wang Jianguo asked, holding Huang Yuelan's hand tightly.
Huang Yuelan heard Wang Jianguo's voice in a trance, so she opened her eyes and saw that it was really Wang Jianguo.
"I am not dreaming, Brother Jianguo is back." Huang Yuelan was wondering if she was about to die and she actually had hallucinations.
Wang Jianguo quickly said, "Yuelan, you are not dreaming, I am really back! Try harder and try to get the baby out sooner!"
Not only is there no car to go to the hospital at this time, the most important thing is that it is not realistic.
Because Huang Yuelan had already given birth to two children, and the third one already had two legs, if they were to go on the road like this, they would bleed to death alone.
The midwife was following nearby and had just been thinking of asking Wang Jianguo to leave, but now seeing that Huang Yuelan was in much better spirits, she did not chase him away and let him stay by her side to cheer her up.
Special circumstances require special treatment.
When Wang Jianguo came back, Huang Yuelan's body was like being injected with a strong injection. She suddenly felt much more powerful. She exerted her last force and then heard the baby crying.
"Wa wah wah..." As if he had been holding his tears in for too long, he finally cried out. The third child's cry was the loudest.
The midwife cut the umbilical cord skillfully, disinfected and fastened the baby's umbilical cord opening simply, then washed it in a basin of warm water. After wiping it clean, she wrapped the baby in a small blanket.
"Mother-in-law, is there still baby in your belly?" Huang Yuelan thought that if there was still baby in her belly, it might really cost her her life.
The midwife washed her hands and said with a smile: "You are addicted to giving birth, girl? Three is not enough, there is no more in your belly, hurry up and ask the baby's father to cook you some brown sugar eggs to make up for it. You have given birth to so many, all boys, you can't be stingy, you need to eat more eggs."
Huang Yuelan breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that there was no baby in her belly. She had finally given birth.
"Yuelan, look how handsome our son is! He looks exactly like his brothers." Wang Jianguo asked as he carried the eighth child to Huang Yuelan.
When Huang Yuelan heard her son's name, she felt suddenly sad.
Why? Why? I've given birth to eight children, and they're all sons!
"What's wrong? Are you too tired? How about I go get you something to eat first?" Wang Jianguo asked.
Huang Yuelan shook her head. "I don't feel tired now, but why are they all sons again?"
Wang Jianguo smiled, but there was an undisguised bitterness in his smile. How could he not want a little cotton-padded jacket, just like his wife Yuelan, who was pretty and kind-hearted? He would definitely spoil his little cotton-padded jacket to the sky.
Although he felt bitter, Wang Jianguo pretended not to care and comforted his wife, saying, "Yuelan, don't be discouraged. There will be a next time."
Wang Jianguo told himself the same thing last time, but in the end, all three were sons!
I don’t know when I will be able to give birth to a daughter. If I don’t have a daughter, I can’t keep giving birth. After all, I already have eight children. If I can have triplets or triplets, I will have children in the double digits…
After the midwife had packed up her things, she heard the conversation between Huang Yuelan and Wang Jianguo. She couldn't help but feel strange. Other families were dissatisfied with having too few sons, but this was the first time she saw someone dissatisfied with having too many sons.
"There are still people who complain about having too many sons. I've never seen such a thing in my life. You have eight sons now. I wonder how many people are envious of you." said the midwife.
Huang Yuelan smiled and said, "Both a daughter and a son are good, but I just want to have both."
"Don't worry, my girl. It's not difficult to have a daughter. Just keep giving birth. You will definitely be able to give birth to one. I have never seen a woman give birth to three sons in a row. You will definitely give birth to a daughter next time." The midwife encouraged.
With three sons in a row, this means Huang Yuelan is having her third child.
If she could have a daughter as her fourth child, she would still be willing to give it a try. After all, she is still young, only in her twenties. In later generations, there would be many single women of the same age.
"Thank you, mother-in-law. You've worked so hard today." Huang Yuelan knew that although giving birth was very hard for her, the midwife was also very tired. She had been busy here all afternoon, constantly shouting for encouragement and asking herself to push herself. She estimated that her throat was about to smoke.
Wang Jianguo temporarily put Xiao Ba in his arms on the bed, then took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to the midwife: "Auntie, this is for you. You have worked so hard today."
The midwife didn't answer. "It's okay. These are what we should do. Your wife has already given you the money for the birth of the child. You don't need to pay more."
Wang Jianguo insisted on stuffing it into the midwife's hand, "Take it, this is a bonus."
After hearing this, the midwife took it with a smile. Who would want to go against money in this day and age? Since the other party is willing to give it, why would she be stupid enough to refuse it?
"Then I will continue without hesitation. If I don't, I'm afraid you will be sad again. To be honest, I always delivered one baby in the past. Today is the first time I've delivered three. My legs are almost numb, but as long as the mother and child are safe, I'm happy too. You guys go ahead and get busy. I'll leave first." The midwife glanced outside. The sun had already set. If they didn't leave quickly, it would be dark soon.
Wang Jianguo tried to persuade her to stay, saying, "Mother-in-law, please have dinner with us before leaving. I'll go and cook the pot now."
"No, thank you. My wife is weak after giving birth, so you just take good care of her. I have to rush home before dawn." The midwife wanted to go home early. Besides, her family was so busy, so she would not add to the trouble.
