Chapter 70 Preparation 1
After adjusting the fetal position, the mother regained some strength. Su Tao took out a syringe containing oxytocin and injected it according to the system's instructions. The mother had been in labor for too long and was no longer experiencing contractions. Without some oxytocin to increase the external force, it would be impossible to push the baby out.
Not long after the injection of oxytocin, Cuihua began to have another contraction. Su Tao urged her, "Push hard, push out hard, just like a constipated person pooping, push hard."
"Wow~~Wow~~~" The baby was finally out. Su Tao used the system to scan the baby's health condition. The baby was fine. He had a little lack of oxygen but it was not serious and did not affect his health. It was a boy.
Su Tao wiped the child clean, wrapped him in a quilt, and went out.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission! Both the child and the mother are safe." Su Tao smiled and handed the child to his father.
Mrs. Sun was so happy to see that there was a grandson behind her that she kept shouting, "I knew it was a son."
Su Tao looked at Grandma Sun with contempt, and looked down on her for favoring boys over girls.
Mrs. Sun looked at Su Tao's eyes and felt a little guilty and weak. Thinking about how she had been arguing with him about those work points before, she felt a little ashamed and said embarrassedly, "Thank you so much, Su Zhiqing. I misunderstood the work points. I'm sorry."
"Well, I think so. I didn't want to stand by and watch someone die, so I just tried my best." Su Tao said lightly.
-------------------------------------
The next day, the distribution of grain and dividends continued, continuing with the work that had not been completed yesterday. Everyone had heard about yesterday's work, and the distribution went smoothly that day. No one mentioned any problems with the work points.
After finishing this work, Su Tao became idle again, as the Spring Festival was coming in two days.
Because of the Spring Festival holiday, He Chuan spent the time before the holiday training and studying, and did not go home on weekends. All the preparations for the New Year fell on Su Tao.
Taking advantage of the market day, Su Tao planned to take the little girl He Yanzhi to the town to buy New Year's goods.
It was freezing cold, so Su Tao and the girl both changed into thick down jackets. Su Tao had exchanged these down jackets at a local store, and he'd bought three in total, finding three of the most common styles. He didn't care if others liked them or not; staying warm was the most important thing.
Su Tao told He Chuan that he bought duck feathers to make the cake, and told the people outside that they had been sent from home, and there was a book for them to check for themselves.
Speaking of home, Su Tao had been here for over half a year. He'd exchanged letters with his family several times during his previous visits to town. He'd told them everything was fine, but they didn't believe him. Worried about his struggles, they sent him some more money. Su Tao had no choice but to make some easy-to-preserve food and send it back along with the money his parents had sent him. Only then did they give up the idea of sending him more money.
Although her family was better off than other families, they were only slightly better off. Her family had already given her a lot of money when she went to the countryside, and now they were asking for more money only half a year later. The burden on her family was also heavy. Su Tao didn't want her parents to have a hard time because of her, and she was indeed living a good life.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Su Tao plans to go to the post office in town to call home and say hello.
When you come to the town, you will see a bustling scene. There are many more villagers setting up stalls on the streets. Generally, during the Chinese New Year, many people will sell their surplus crops and buy some for their own needs, forming a small and short-term gathering. At this time, the public security law enforcement departments generally do not interfere.
Su Tao first led the little girl to the supply and marketing cooperative. Before the New Year, the cooperative was packed, with people thronging every counter. Su Tao first went to the butcher shop and bought two pounds of pork, offal, pork bones, a chicken, and a duck. Before the New Year, the supply and marketing cooperative was still well-stocked. Many villages had to hand over a certain amount of pigs, chickens, ducks, and grain to the cooperative at the end of the year.
Then we went to purchase a batch of flour, glutinous rice flour, seasonings, spices and other supplies.
"Yanzhi, you stay here and help your sister watch the things first. I'll go find someone to help us put the things back to the tractor, and then we'll go buy other things, okay?" It was a little inconvenient to bring He Yanzhi with him. He Yanzhi couldn't put the things she bought into the space, so she had to let He Yanzhi watch the things first while Su Tao went back to find someone. Otherwise, it would not be good for the girl's health to run back and forth.
"Okay, okay. Sister Taotao, you go ahead. I'll watch over the things and make sure they don't run around." The little girl nodded and responded obediently.
When Su Tao arrived at the tractor station, he asked Uncle Wang to help him get it and gave him 50 cents as a reward.
Now that he had nothing left and empty-handed, Su Tao could take the little girl to go shopping again.
Su Tao dragged Yanzhi to the grocery store and bought the little girl a large bag of fruit candies, along with some White Rabbit candies, which Su Tao also loved. The milk candies of that era had a rich, creamy flavor, much better than those from later generations. Su Tao found the White Rabbit candies from later generations a bit fake; they were simply sweet, with no distinct flavor.
The little girl has candy in her mouth, her eyes are sparkling, full of happiness, she is so cute.
"Hey, let's go buy some more clothes." Su Tao pulled the little girl to the clothing counter.
"No need, Sister Taotao. Didn't you just make me a cotton-padded jacket some time ago? There's no need to buy more. I have enough to wear." The little girl shook off Su Tao's hand and said knowingly.
"How is that the same? You must wear red clothes on the Spring Festival. It means good luck in the new year and a prosperous new year." Su Tao said confidently.
"Really?" The little girl was a little frightened. She was afraid of what would happen if she didn't buy it and her luck would be bad next year.
"Of course. Not only do we have to buy them, we also have to buy red ones, one for each of us." Su Taozhong took He Yanzhi's hand and walked towards the clothing counter.
A sweet smile appeared on the little girl's face. In fact, who doesn't want to wear sexy clothes? It's just that the little girl is afraid of spending money on her family.
Su Tao picked out a red floral cotton-padded jacket for the little girl, and also picked out red cotton-padded jackets for himself and He Chuan. While the styles weren't attractive and felt bulky, they were festive and warm, creating a festive and festive atmosphere.
Su Tao imagined the scene of a man wearing a red cotton-padded jacket in his mind, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
The cotton coat wasn't as expensive as the woolen coat I bought last time. It was only a dozen or so each, and three pieces together were less than ten. There was no need to buy pants. Su Tao had exchanged several sets of thermal underwear for He Chuan and his sister in the space. After all, no one could see them wearing them, and they were incredibly warm.
