"I'm going to give birth in the hospital." Qi Mengmeng felt that this little girl was too enthusiastic.
"Oh." Lu Xiaochun's tone was a little disappointed. She really wanted to help Qi Mengmeng do something, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Sister Mengmeng, how about I ask the midwife to come over and take a look at your belly."
Qi Mengmeng felt that it was unnecessary. She had been seeing a doctor in the hospital all the time, and Dr. Feng was doing very good.
But Qi Huilan was somewhat moved by what she heard. She knew that some midwives were very capable and could tell the gender and condition of the fetus from the size of the belly. However, she didn't know about the situation of the midwife in Lu Xiaochun's village.
"Xiaochun, is the midwife in your village famous?" Qi Huilan asked.
"Very famous. Granny Wu also has some medical skills. Many families ask her to be a midwife. My brother was born by Granny Wu." Lu Xiaochun nodded affirmatively: "Granny Wu has a good relationship with my mother. She takes good care of my sister and me."
She looked at Qi Mengmeng and said, "I know it's inconvenient for Mengmeng to move around right now. I can talk to Granny Wu and ask her to come over and check Mengmeng's belly."
Qi Mengmeng looked at Qi Huilan uncertainly. Is it necessary to ask a midwife to come and see?
Qi Huilan nodded affirmatively: It is necessary.
Before yesterday, Qi Huilan thought Qi Mengmeng's fetus was fine and the doctor didn't say there was any problem. But after Qi Zhijun told her last night that she once had a twin brother, she had nightmares all night and felt very uneasy.
In addition, Qi Mengmeng's legs are now badly swollen. Although the doctor can't find any problems, she still feels uneasy.
What if there is a problem and the doctor doesn’t see it?
She only has Qi Mengmeng as her daughter, and nothing can happen to her.
Thinking of this, she became even more enthusiastic towards Lu Xiaochun: "Xiaochun, tell me where Granny Wu lives, and I'll go and invite her tomorrow."
Lu Xiaochun didn't expect Qi Huilan to be so anxious. Is there something wrong with Qi Mengmeng's stomach?
But she was smart and didn't ask this question. Instead, she said she would go and invite him.
"Aunt, I will go back to the village tomorrow to invite Granny Wu. If I tell her, she will definitely come."
Qi Huilan was a little embarrassed: "Xiaochun, how can I trouble you to ask for leave? Just tell me where you are and I will ask for it."
"Auntie, please don't be polite to me," Lu Xiaochun held Qi Huilan's hand and said sincerely, "Sister Mengmeng asked me to take over her job and solved my big problem. I just did a little thing for Sister Mengmeng, it's nothing."
As if she was afraid that Qi Mengmeng might misunderstand her, she explained, "When Sister Mengmeng goes back to work, I will definitely give the job to Sister Mengmeng."
Qi Mengmeng also saw that Lu Xiaochun was sincere, but she still asked worriedly: "Can you take a day off tomorrow? If you want salary, just deduct it from my share."
Lu Xiaochun quickly shook his head: "I won't deduct my salary. I'll go early tomorrow and finish all my work. Just tell Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao is a very good person."
It would have been more convincing if her face hadn't turned red when she spoke.
Qi Mengmeng looked at Lu Xiaochun and smiled. It seemed that Lu Xiaochun and Xiao Zhao got along really well.
Lu Xiaochun blushed when she looked at him, and stood up to leave: "Sister Mengmeng, I'm going back first."
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? We just agreed to eat here. I still need to ask you something about the midwife."
Qi Mengmeng grabbed Lu Xiaochun.
Lu Xiaochun didn't want to eat here, but when she heard Qi Mengmeng wanted to find out about the midwife, she stayed and told her everything she knew about Grandma Wu.
When Qi Huilan heard that Granny Wu not only delivered babies but also helped people change the fetus, and even made a baby with its feet coming out first be born smoothly, she couldn't wait to ask Granny Wu for help.
In order to allow Lu Xiaochun to invite Grandma Wu earlier the next day, Qi Huilan lent her bicycle to Lu Xiaochun and asked her to go back to the village to pick up Grandma Wu the next day.
The next day, Lu Xiaochun came over by bicycle at around nine o'clock.
Ever since she left, Qi Huilan has been feeling uneasy and has gone out to look around several times.
"Mom, don't go out. Xiaochun said it takes half an hour to ride a bike from her home to the city, and she has to bring Grandma Wu with her on the way back. They definitely can't walk fast. Sit down and rest for a while."
Qi Mengmeng was not nervous at first, but Qi Huilan's actions made her nervous as well.
"That's right. It will probably take more than an hour for Xiaochun to come back." Qi Huilan said as she sat down, then stood up again quickly: "I'll make you a cup of malted milk."
Qi Mengmeng was not hungry, but Qi Huilan had already prepared malted milk and placed it next to her.
"Mengmeng, Granny Wu is coming from the village. When she comes to our place, it should be lunchtime. Do you think we should take care of her meals?"
Qi Huilan hoped that Granny Wu could really see Qi Mengmeng's problem, but she also thought that she must not let others find fault with her.
Qi Mengmeng thought for a moment and shook her head: "I don't think Granny Wu will eat here, so I'll cut a piece of meat from home for Granny Wu to take back."
Lu Xiaochun still has to go to work in the afternoon, so he must send Grandma Wu back before going to work. The round trip will take more than an hour. Lu Xiaochun must send Grandma Wu back to the village at the latest at 11:30, so he has no time to eat dinner here.
After listening to Qi Mengmeng's analysis, Qi Huilan felt that it made sense. She went to the kitchen, cut out a pound of meat and put it outside.
After doing all this, Qi Huilan, who was a little anxious, washed all the clothes at home, swept the floor, and fried a pot of fried dough twists. Only then did her restless heart calm down.
"Mengmeng, have some fried dough twists. I just fried them. They're delicious." Qi Huilan placed a bowl of fried dough twists in front of Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng had just picked up a fried dough twist when Lu Xiaochun and Grandma Wu came into the yard.
"Xiaochun is here. This is Granny Wu, right? Come in and sit down. I just fried some fried dough twists. You guys should have some first."
When Qi Huilan saw Lu Xiaochun coming in with an old lady who was dressed very neatly, she quickly greeted them warmly.
Granny Wu nodded kindly to Qi Huilan and followed her into the house.
Qi Huilan poured brown sugar water for the two of them, and put the fried dough twist in front of Grandma Wu, asking her to taste it first.
Grandma Wu didn't eat anything. Instead, she looked at Qi Mengmeng first, and then asked Qi Huilan to pour her a basin of hot water. She wanted to wash her hands and check Qi Mengmeng's stomach first.
Qi Huilan went out without any hesitation and brought in a basin of hot water.
Grandma Wu washed her hands carefully with soap, wiped them clean with a towel, and warmed her hands on the stove before letting Qi Mengmeng lie down. She wanted to touch Qi Mengmeng's belly.
Qi Mengmeng didn't expect the other party to be so efficient. He started working as soon as they met.
Seeing that she didn't move, Qi Huilan urged her to go into the house.
Qi Mengmeng took a deep breath, went into the room, lay on the bed, and exposed her belly.
Granny Wu first looked carefully at Qi Mengmeng's belly before putting her hand on it.
