For some reason, I had a craving for chicken soup wontons on this snowy morning.
She didn't want to trouble her family, but her mother-in-law noticed that she had a poor appetite and asked her what she wanted to eat.
"Chicken soup wontons, if it's too much trouble, Mom, please don't bother."
Da Xue blurted out the words uncontrollably, then lowered her eyes in annoyance.
Why did she just say it?
"That's easy, Qingshan, hurry up and knead the dough and roll out the wrappers."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue gave orders. First, she instructed her son to roll out the dough, then she asked Aunt Ge to prepare the filling, while she herself went to pick scallions, a task she was familiar with.
As for chicken soup, we make it at home every day.
The Ye sisters, Ye He and Ye Hua, wanted to help, but the master instructed them to take good care of the young mistress.
"Woof woof woof~"
Little White also realized that one of the women was about to give birth, so it obediently squatted down beside her, staring at her belly from time to time.
It thought that soon another little master would be born, and it would protect the little master then!
"Young lady, your in-laws are quite good~"
Grandma Zou gave a thumbs up and couldn't help but praise her.
Time reveals all; she had been living in this house for over ten days and had seen everything clearly.
No wonder people say this family is loving and filial, and they've never had any disputes.
Can this really lead to a dispute?
Suddenly, Da Xue grabbed the armrest of the chair, her face pale, and said:
"Grandma Zou, I... I think I peed!"
"ah?"
Grandma Zou didn't react immediately. She dumbfoundedly lifted a corner of her maternity dress, slapped her thigh, and hurriedly said:
"Quickly, go and call Young Master Qingshan to come and carry Young Madam back to her room!"
"No need for that, I'll do it!"
Upon hearing this, Ye He knew that the young mistress hadn't urinated, but that her water had broken!
Upon hearing Granny Zou's words, without saying a word, he picked up the young mistress horizontally!
"Hua'er, go boil some water!"
"Why!"
Grandma Zou was dumbfounded; the maid in this house was truly a hidden talent!
Soon, Daxue was lying in the delivery room, but to be honest, she had a feeling that she wouldn't give birth anytime soon.
"My wife~"
Qingshan was kneading dough when he rushed in, still wearing his apron and carrying flour in his hands.
"Don't come any closer, I'm about to sneeze!"
Da Xue quickly waved her hand, signaling her husband not to get too close.
"ah?"
Qingshan belatedly realized he was dirty, remembering his mother's words about hygiene and germs, and quickly backed away, looking at his wife with a pitiful expression.
"Young Master, please continue kneading the dough. The young mistress won't give birth anytime soon, so she needs to eat well to have the strength."
After the examination, Grandma Zou's anxiety subsided. It turned out that her water had broken, but the flow was very slow, and since her cervix was still small, she wouldn't be in labor immediately.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Qingshan nodded, then glanced at his wife with concern, only to find that she wasn't even looking at him. Waaah, so sad!
Upon hearing the commotion, Jiang Yue hurriedly went back into the house, took out the white coat she had prepared earlier, put one on, and had four more: one for Granny Zou, one for Aunt Ge, one for her mother-in-law, and one for Liu.
After coming out, she handed the white coats to Granny Zou and Granny Ge, and then instructed Ye He and Ye Hua to ask their mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law to come and help.
Finally, she instructed her son not to go into the delivery room, but to obediently wrap up the wontons, cook them, and bring them to the door so that Aunt Ge could bring them in and feed them to Daxue!
Qingshan listened to his mother and quickened his pace...
Aunt Ge had already boiled water in all the kettles and pots that could boil water, just in case.
All the necessary production materials prepared beforehand were placed on the round table inside the room.
Everything was in good order, without any rush.
Before Daxue gave birth, I was worried that things would be chaotic when she did. But now, seeing my mother-in-law moving around the house, arranging everything in an orderly manner, I feel grateful and fortunate.
Look at the mother-in-law from the front, and the daughter-in-law from the back.
Her mother-in-law is so good to her, so she and her husband will serve her mother-in-law in every way until she passes away!
She didn't know how much time had passed when Da Xue felt waves of churning pain in her stomach. Cold sweat trickled down her forehead, but she didn't utter a sound.
"Chaos is ready!"
"Hey, have something to eat while it snows!"
The wontons are ready, and a wonderful aroma wafts out.
The aroma of the wontons filled Da Xue with delight, and she opened her mouth wide to let her mother-in-law feed her...
"Eat more, young lady, you'll have more energy when you're full!"
"Grandma Zou is right, young mistress, please eat a few more bites~"
"Aunt Ge, wet the thick handkerchief I prepared and keep it handy. Da Xue can put it in her mouth later so she won't accidentally bite her tongue!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go prepare it right away~"
......
After Jiang Yue finished feeding her daughter-in-law the wontons, she could clearly feel that her daughter-in-law was trying to suppress her cries.
He personally wiped the sweat from his daughter-in-law's face and said gently:
"Hey, if it hurts, just cry out. Your mother won't let Qingshan in, don't worry."
"Yes, thank you, Mom~"
Da Xue nodded weakly, swallowed a bowl of wontons, and felt her limbs regain strength, but the pain in her stomach became more and more obvious.
She didn't scream, partly because she didn't want to frighten everyone, and partly because she didn't want her husband to worry that she would barge in and see her unsightly appearance, which would lead him to dislike her in the future...
Women are emotional and capable of empathy.
Seeing how much Jiang was considering her daughter-in-law's feelings, Granny Zou was deeply moved.
After wiping every corner of her fingers with strong liquor, Grandma Zou went around to the foot of the bed, knelt in front of the high quilt, and, in the sunlight, carefully examined her fingers...
Almost there! Just two more centimeters of dilation, and we can prepare to deliver the baby!
Upon receiving the news, Old Zhou and Liu quickly arrived at the scene.
After changing into white gowns, the two entered the delivery room with solemn expressions.
A daughter rushed to the bed, drenched in sweat, her face contorted in pain, her cries filled with sobs!
One of them came to the foot of the bed to help the midwife deliver the baby.
Why is there no sound?
"I hope nothing bad has happened."
"Oh God, please protect my wife and keep her safe!"
When Xiao Zhou, who arrived a little late, heard her nephew's appearance, she felt both sorry for him and amused.
He walked closer and patted his nephew on the shoulder, saying:
"You little rascal, this is how women give birth, don't panic. Your mother and your grandmother are inside, don't worry, everything will be fine!"
"Go boil some more water, don't just stand here!"
"Oh, thank you, Second Auntie!"
Aoyama gave a wry smile. His hands and feet were trembling. How could he not panic? His wife was inside!
But he knew there was nothing he could do. Rather than stand there, he might as well listen to his second aunt and boil water...
Xiao Zhou didn't go into the delivery room. There were already quite a few people inside, so there was no point in having her. She stayed outside to keep watch and prevent anyone from barging in.
Inside the old house, Madam Zhou was preoccupied and looked worried.
Qingshan's wife is in labor, and she's so worried about how things are going!
But her mother-in-law asked her to stay home and take care of Xiaodie, and she couldn't leave...
