It took some time for the tractor to arrive. It wasn't until several middle-aged women helped the person into the back of the tractor that it sped off towards the military region.
The sentry at the door had already been informed and opened the door as soon as he saw them coming.
Although Song Qing rode her bicycle quickly, she couldn't keep up with the speed of the tractor, so she arrived a few minutes earlier than them.
"Doctor, doctor, someone is having a difficult labor!"
The doctors from the military region rushed out immediately, asking, "Where is the mother?"
"The mother is still in labor; I've come over first to let you get ready."
Doctors and nurses quickly got to work, preparing the operating room. Soon, the tractor rumbled to a stop outside the hospital, and the doctors pushed Zhou Lian into the operating room.
"Fortunately, we made it in time."
The women were somewhat relieved; thankfully, the tractor arrived quickly, and they were able to lift the person onto the back of the tractor. When they reached the door, the sentry did not stop them.
Now it's up to the doctors.
The aunties had hardly ever been to the hospital, especially since this was a military hospital, so they were all quite reserved while staying here.
Song Qing could only stay there and wait for Zhou Lian to come out of the delivery room. Soon, Wang Minggui heard the news and rushed over.
How is your sister-in-law?
He arrived in a hurry, still wearing his training clothes, and covered in dirt.
"Still inside."
Wang Minggui sat outside and waited. Soon the doctor came out and talked to him. Song Qing waited until his condition stabilized before planning to go home.
"Aunties, shall I take you home first?"
"Yes, yes, please help me send my aunts back. I'll visit them to thank them after the baby is born."
The aunties were very hospitable, waving their hands repeatedly to say no, and finally they got back on the tractor to go back to Yanghe Village.
"How is it? Has the baby been born yet?"
"Not yet. Her husband is waiting inside. We felt uncomfortable staying there, so we came back first."
The doctor said Zhou Lian's baby was a bit big, and since she had been in labor for a long time, they were worried that the baby would suffocate, so they performed a cesarean section directly.
A cesarean section is a novel thing; I heard that you have to cut open your stomach and take the baby out.
"The doctor said it was fortunate that we were brought in in time, otherwise I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to save either the mother or the child."
Everyone patted their chests and sighed with relief. Only then did they remember Bai Jiamei, who had been so certain from the beginning that Zhou Lian would have a difficult childbirth.
"Young lady, how do you know she will have a difficult childbirth?"
"If you hadn't pointed it out from the beginning, people might not have realized it yet, and by the time they discovered it, it would have been too late to get them to the hospital."
Thanks to this girl, Zhou Lian and her son's lives were saved.
Bai Jiamei breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was still no news that Zhou Lian and the child were completely safe, it was almost certain that she would not die in childbirth like in the book.
Does this mean that the plot can be modified?
"I just had a feeling that her belly was too big."
She could only ramble on, unable to admit that she had guessed based on the plot of the book.
A while later, news came from the military hospital that Zhou Lian and her child were both safe and sound, and would be able to go home after a few more days of rest.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they had done a good deed today.
At the same time, the aunties' impression of the new batch of educated youth in the educated youth compound began to improve. They had lent out their dormitory room without saying a word and had been helping to boil water and cook things.
One of the girls even noticed something was wrong from the start, which prompted them to take the pregnant woman to the hospital immediately.
What wonderful kids! They're all from the city, yet they don't look down on them at all and are so warm and welcoming.
It's their fault for having a bad impression of them from the start; they're all good kids.
"Since you're new here, if there's anything you don't know, you can ask the aunties in the village."
"We'll all start work together tomorrow. If you don't know how to do it, you can stand aside and learn first, and then come and ask us."
The aunties brought some wild vegetables they had picked from the fields and told the educated youth how to prepare them, and also shared their living experiences here.
The educated youth were flattered and surprised; they never expected that after this incident, everyone would become so enthusiastic.
The aunties knew they had just arrived and hadn't cooked yet, so they brought all sorts of food from their homes.
"If you're not cooking tonight, you can eat in the village."
"No, no, thank you, aunties. We'll start cooking tonight. After all, we have to go to work tomorrow, so we need to get used to it first."
They shook their heads repeatedly. These days, it's a bit embarrassing to eat at someone else's house; nobody's food comes from thin air.
Seeing that they refused to leave the wild vegetables and other things behind, they left.
"The villagers are all very hospitable."
"Jiamei, you're amazing! It's all because of you that the villagers started to accept us. Did you study this before?"
Bai Jiamei denied it, saying that she was just using the plot to predict the future. If anyone spread rumors that she had this ability, she would probably have to work as a midwife in the countryside.
The key issue is that she doesn't understand anything yet; if something happens, she could end up in jail.
The educated youth settlement was filled with joy. Lu Ronghui looked at Bai Jiamei with some surprise, not knowing when Bai Jiamei had become so capable.
She had just spoken a few words to the child in the kitchen and confirmed Zhou Lian's identity. After learning her identity, she stood up in surprise and said that she would have a difficult childbirth. Before that, she had never looked at Zhou Lian's appearance carefully.
It wasn't like she said, that she guessed based on the baby's belly.
Bai Rongjun's smile was somewhat bitter. When those aunties came over, she had been smiling and trying to please them, but they completely ignored her and only kept talking to Bai Jiamei.
When had she ever experienced such neglect, especially when the person was Bai Jiamei, her second sister who had always been behind her?
She began to feel resentful. Seeing everyone only talking to Bai Jiamei made her feel even more bitter. Her second sister had only stumbled upon this by accident. She didn't have the ability at all. Others might not know, but how could she, her own sister, not know?
"Sister, you're so lucky. Luckily you guessed right this time. If you hadn't, those villagers would definitely have a bad impression of us and say we cursed the pregnant woman. You can't do that again next time. You scared me to death just now."
Before everyone's smiles had faded, they heard Bai Jiamei's words, and their feelings became complicated.
Yes, thankfully we guessed right. If we hadn't, the villagers might have said that they, as city people, looked down on pregnant women and cursed them.
"Second sister, we grew up together. I know you often want to be in the limelight, but you can't just say things like that. You can't always be this lucky."
Lu Ronghui had a rather complicated story to tell. The Bai sisters didn't seem to have a very good relationship.
She still remembered that Bai Rongjun had made her, the second sister, take her place and had always wanted her to marry the eldest brother.
It seems like the relationship was pretty ordinary now.
Bai Rongjun's first words really resonated with everyone; they knew it was all luck this time. But what she said afterward sounded very off.
No matter how you look at it, Bai Jiamei is a hero today, but her own sister said she loves to show off. Tsk tsk, there's quite a bit of drama at the educated youth settlement.
