688: Second sister-in-law is about to give birth
When Yu Xiaoye heard that Sister Cuihua was about to give birth, he immediately let go of his father's arm and ran towards his second brother:
"Really? My second sister-in-law is about to give birth. That's great! I finally made it!"
Yu Xiaoye ran wildly with excitement, and actually ran faster than his second brother. In the blink of an eye, he surpassed his second brother and ran straight towards home.
"Xiao Ye, wait for me!"
The brother and sister ran home one after the other.
When they got home, several sisters-in-law and aunties from nearby neighbors had already gathered outside their house, and the midwife from the farm clinic also came over slowly, carrying a medicine box.
When everyone saw Yu Xiaoye coming back, they all asked curiously:
"Xiao Ye, I heard that you and Director Zhou got married in Beijing. Is that true?"
"real!"
"Oh Xiaoye, you are so lucky to marry Director Zhou. Director Zhou is a rare talent."
"This isn't one in ten thousand, this is one in a hundred thousand!"
"Isn't it true? Director Zhou has absolutely no flaws at all—"
Yu Xiaoye rushed into his second brother's room amid a group of people's discussions. When he entered the inner room, he found Cuihua lying on the kang on her side, holding her incredibly large belly with her hand, and a painful expression on her face.
Xu Ying sat next to her, saying something to Cuihua while massaging her back.
Hearing someone entering the house, Xu Ying looked up and saw that it was her daughter who broke into the house. Xu Ying thought she was dazzled.
But Yu Xiaoye rushed to the kang and asked excitedly and anxiously:
"Is my second sister-in-law really going to give birth?"
Xu Ying answered the question irrelevantly:
"Oh my dear aunt, you are back. Where is Xiao Zhou? Did he come back with you?"
"I'm back, I'm in the back - Second sister-in-law, Second sister-in-law, how are you?"
Cuihua felt pain in waves. When it hurt, she didn't want to talk. When the pain subsided, she opened her eyes, looked at Yu Xiaoye, and forced a smile weakly:
"Ono, you're back."
Yu Xiaoye excitedly held Cuihua's hand:
"Second sister-in-law, please work harder and give birth to my nephew as soon as possible. I was thinking in the capital that it would be great if I could catch up with my nephew's birth. I didn't expect that I would actually catch up."
Cuihua said:
"I guess it was born just to wait for you to come."
Yu Xiaoye looked at Cuihua's belly, which was as big as a balloon. He didn't know if it was because she was lying on her side, but it felt much bigger than when she left. It was a bit exaggerated.
"Mom, is my second sister-in-law twinning? Why is her belly so big?"
"I asked someone to check it out, and they said they're not twins. It's probably just that the baby is bigger, probably taking after the father."
Xu Ying had something to worry about but didn't say it out loud. She was afraid that the baby was too big and might be difficult to give birth to.
I guess it’s because the food here is much better than when Cuihua was in her hometown, so she has gained weight rapidly in the past six months.
After calculating the time, Cuihua should have become pregnant right after getting married. Since then, her weight has skyrocketed. She used to weigh only more than 70 kilograms, but now it is almost 150 kilograms, which has doubled.
If the adults are this fat, the children will probably not be small either.
Xu Ying was somewhat worried about the situation of the mother and son.
The midwife and Yu Erye came in together.
When Yu Erye came in, he was so flustered that his voice was trembling:
"Cuihua, how is Cuihua?"
Yu Erye ran to the kang and looked down at Cuihua. He happened to see that Cuihua was having contractions again. She frowned and endured the pain. Yu Erye's calves tightened as he saw this.
Xu Ying scolded Yu Erye:
"Second brother, Cuihua has been feeling uncomfortable in her stomach since this morning. Why didn't you tell me?"
"I, I didn't know I was going to give birth. I thought it was just diarrhea."
"You're such a fool!"
The midwife, wearing a white coat, put down the medicine box and urged:
"Okay, everyone who is not involved please leave. I will examine the mother."
"Both of you get out."
Yu Erye and Yu Xiaoye, brother and sister, were driven out of the house.
At this time, Zhou Ziheng and Yu Jiahui also arrived.
The people watching the fun in the yard wanted to laugh when they saw Yu Jiahui covered in mud, but when they saw Director Zhou walking behind him also covered in mud, they dared not laugh anymore.
Everyone was waiting anxiously outside, and no one had the mind to do anything else. Yu Jiahui even forgot about being angry with Zhou Ziheng.
It was the neighbor who reminded Yu Erye to boil a pot of hot water so that he could use it to wash the baby when it was born. Only then did Yu Erye hurriedly pick up a wooden stick and go to the kitchen to boil hot water.
An old lady next door was leaning against the window looking in. She saw Cuihua lying on the kang giving birth and quickly shouted inside:
"Don't let the second son's wife give birth on the kang. It will make the kang dirty. Move her to lie on the ground and shovel some grass ash from the stove to put under her buttocks."
Yu Jiahui was already anxious, and when he heard that old woman meddling in other people's business, he got even more angry:
"Stop yelling nonsense. We can give birth wherever we want. It's none of your business!"
"I'm afraid you'll dirty the kang and the kang mat."
"So what if the kang collapsed? It's not your kang, so why worry about it!"
The old lady finally pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Yu Xiaoye sneaked into the house again. As soon as he entered, he saw Cuihua lying on her back on the kang, with her pants taken off, legs spread, and her huge belly sticking out for the midwife to check.
It was the first time that Yu Xiaoye saw a childbirth scene. The somewhat terrifying scene scared Yu Xiaoye a lot, but she still plucked up the courage to move forward.
Xu Ying chased her out again:
"Xiao Ye, please get out. Looking back will cause you psychological trauma."
Yu Xiaoye said boldly:
"Mom, it's okay. I'm not afraid."
Yu Xiaoye stayed by Cuihua's side, constantly cheering her on.
After the midwife finished her examination, she said calmly:
"Open two fingers. At her speed, it should be quick."
Yu Xiaoye didn't understand and opened two fingers
What does it mean? She has no idea how soon this will happen. She knows nothing about childbirth, and the physiological knowledge she learned from textbooks is completely useless. She is completely in the dark and can only accompany him anxiously.
Gradually, Cuihua's reaction became more and more intense, and she would bite the pillow and groan when it hurt.
Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye, mother and daughter, were heartbroken when they saw this and wished they could share some of Cuihua's pain. However, the midwife acted as if nothing had happened. She sat on the kang and kept chatting with Yu Xiaoye, asking about her and Director Zhou's wedding in Beijing.
Yu Xiaoye had no intention of answering, and Xu Ying was annoyed by the questions, so she simply drove Yu Xiaoye away.
Yu Xiaoye went out of the house again. At this time, most of the neighbors who came to join in the fun had left. Only a few were still lying outside their fence looking inside. They were not looking at Cuihua giving birth to a child, but at Zhou Ziheng and Yu Xiaoye.
Zhou Ziheng had already taken a set of clean clothes from the car and changed into them. He washed the dirty clothes and hung them on the line to dry.
Yu Jiahui was still wearing his muddy clothes, walking back and forth at the door with Yu Erye and his son.
Except Zhou Ziheng, no one in the family could sit still.
About another hour later, it was getting dark, and finally Cuihua's screams were heard from the house.
Yu Erye and Yu Xiaoye, brother and sister, were so frightened that their legs went weak.
