Jiang Yue held his hand tightly, took a few deep breaths, and then said, "It's okay, I'm about to give birth. You, you carry me to the west room, and then go find Aunt Yuan..."
She had already cleaned up the small room on the west side, put in a bed, two clean mattresses and a basin, and used it as a delivery room.
Jiang Yue heard from Aunt Yuan that ordinary people put straw under their bodies when giving birth, and then just remove the straw after the baby is born.
Many people went to work in the fields with big bellies, and when they went into labor, they didn’t even have time to return home, and gave birth right there in the fields. That’s why many people named their babies Disheng, Tiansheng, etc.
Since Jiang Yue was able to do so, she naturally didn't want the child to be born in a pile of straw, so she had already prepared a clean and soft mattress. The rest of the things were also prepared long ago.
Jiang Nian forced himself to calm down, his hands and feet stiff, and he picked up Jiang Yue horizontally and walked into the house.
After putting her down, Jiang Nian quickly rushed to the front yard.
She shouted to Aunt Yuan who was watering the vegetable patch, "Aunt Yuan, Yueyue is about to give birth!"
With a "plop", the wooden bucket in Aunt Yuan's hand fell to the ground, and the water wet her shoes.
She didn't care whether her shoes were wet or not, and quickly called her daughter over, "Go call your Aunt Zhang!"
Ping An panicked for a moment and ran out, "Okay!"
Aunt Yuan followed her husband into the inner courtyard while brushing off the mud on the corners of her clothes. When she looked up, her husband, with his long legs, was already much faster than her.
"Don't worry, my dear. It's still early for my wife to give birth to the child!"
Jiang Nian turned a deaf ear and ran straight to the west room.
"Yueyue! How are you? Does it hurt?" Jiang Nian wiped the sweat from her forehead with shaking hands.
Jiang Yue held his arm tightly, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much, I'm just nervous..."
When Yuan Zhuangtou returned to the yard from the cowshed, he met his daughter who was delivering a message. He hurried into the yard to see if there was anything he could help with.
Aunt Yuan was short of help, so she told the man, "Go to the kitchen and make a bowl of chicken soup for my wife first. Give it to her in an hour so she doesn't get too hungry to work hard."
When Yuan Zhuangtou heard this, he nodded and ran to the kitchen.
Aunt Yuan entered the west room and saw that her wife looked pale, but she had not yet started giving birth, so she must be nervous.
It will be difficult to give birth to the first child if your body is so tense.
"Don't be nervous, my lady. We have prepared everything and the baby will be born smoothly."
Jiang Yue also knew that she was too nervous, but she had never experienced this before, and there were no doctors or good medicine here.
She kept thinking about what to do if she had a difficult birth. Should she save the mother or the child? What if she couldn't save either? Would Jiang Nian be left alone to live...
Aunt Yuan felt a little embarrassed when she saw her wife and her husband holding hands tightly together.
"My dear, you should go outside and wait..."
Jiang Nian had a tense face and didn't say anything. He just looked at Jiang Yue without moving.
Jiang Yue took a deep breath and felt much better. Knowing that they couldn't let go if Jiang Nian was here, she advised, "A Nian, be good and go out and wait."
Jiang Nian pursed his lips, somewhat reluctantly.
At this moment, Jiang Yue seemed to feel that he had returned to the way he was when they first met, stubborn and needing to be coaxed.
She shook his hand and said, "Be good and wait for me outside. If you don't obey, I will suffer for a longer time..."
At this time, Jiang Yue's lower body began to contract again, she hissed and took a breath.
Jiang Nian panicked, "I'll listen to you! I'll get out right away!"
He lowered his head, kissed her lightly on the lips, and said in a deep voice, "Yueyue, I'll wait for you outside, you must be well!"
Jiang Yue nodded, and he quickly walked out and closed the door.
Aunt Yuan had just lowered her head, not daring to listen or look at the affection between the masters. When her husband finally let go, she hurriedly changed her clothes and pants.
Looking at my wife's face again, she has already scared me so much that her eyes are blurry before she even starts giving birth. How can I do this?
At this time, Mrs. Zhang also arrived, and the two of them began to gossip with her to divert her attention.
Aunt Yuan drove Ping'an out.
She is still young and cannot watch someone give birth. Don't scare yourself.
"Hurry up and go to the kitchen. Help your father boil some water. Scald the new scissors, the cloth, and the wooden basin twice. Then boil a few more pots of water. We'll need them later."
"good……"
Jiang Yue watched as everything went on in an orderly manner, relaxed, and began to follow Aunt Yuan's instructions.
Jiang Nian sat outside the door, fidgeting uncomfortably. He had sharp eyes and ears, and as he watched basins of blood being carried out of the house, Yueyue's cries grew rapid, his heart felt as if someone were clutching it.
He wanted to rush in and tell Yueyue that she didn't want to have the baby anymore! But it wasn't like he could just give up the baby...
Jiang Yue didn’t know how long it took other people to give birth, but she could hardly hold on after noon.
I gave him a bowl of chicken soup to replenish his strength, and later he even put ginseng slices in his mouth.
Following the instructions of the two people beside her, she took a deep breath and felt her body relax...
"It's born! Madam, it's born!" Aunt Yuan shouted.
She held the child and patted his back gently, and he cried.
Aunt Yuan held the child sideways in front of Jiang Yue and said happily, "Congratulations, my lady, you have given birth to a little boy!"
Jiang Yue opened her eyelids and looked at the palm-sized, red little monkey. She let out a breath and finally gave birth!
At this moment, she felt relaxed and had no other thoughts. A wave of sleepiness came over her and she quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up from her sleep, she found that she had changed rooms and was lying on a clean new quilt instead of a dirty mattress.
"Yueyue, you finally woke up!"
