This shout called out both Wang Ying and Xu Shuang. Wang Ying saw that the person knocking on the door was actually the older daughter of Qian**'s family. The little girl had disheveled hair and ran out wearing only a single layer of clothing. One of her shoes was lost in the snow.
Wang Ying was also surprised to see her face full of tears, and she knew something was wrong after calculating the time.
Qian** is only seven months pregnant, how come she is about to give birth
Wang Ying asked Xu Shuang to go back to the house to get her a medicine box, and then she pulled the little girl aside and asked, "Have you found the midwife?"
Yes, strictly speaking, midwifery is not Wang Ying's responsibility. Barefoot doctors and midwives are two different positions. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it took more than ten years to establish a mechanism for midwives in rural areas.
All the midwives who could be trained before the founding of the People's Republic of China were taken to study and then delivered babies after they came back. Midwives did not receive any salary, only one or two yuan for each delivery, and some eggs were sent to the family of the baby.
Wang Ying felt heavy-hearted. The little girl's words confirmed her guess: "There is no midwife in our brigade. We have to go to the next door to find one...but my grandma said it's snowing too hard."
Wang Ying thought to herself, "Oh no! It started snowing this morning, and it was also New Year's Eve, so everyone was busy celebrating the new year and hadn't had time to shovel the snow.
It is extremely difficult to go out when the weather is good. It is dangerous to go out when the weather is bad. It will take at least seven or eight hours.
The little girl named Daya had tears and snot all over her face: "Sister, go and have a look! My mom might be dying!"
Xu Shuang had already packed the medicine box in the house and had also taken out his hat and scarf. He carried the medicine box and was going to pack it for Wang Ying so they could go together.
Wang Ying blocked him and motioned for him to put the scarf on Daya who was shivering from the cold.
Xu Shuang hesitated for a moment, then put the scarf on Wang Ying without hesitation, and took off her own scarf and gave it to Daya.
Wang Ying felt as if she was freezing every time she breathed in. She swallowed the cold air fiercely and said, "Daya, go find the captain. Even your uncle Fu, call him over. I'll go to your house first to check on the situation."
Daya nodded with tears in her eyes, and left wrapped in Xu Shuang's big scarf.
Xu Shuang held Wang Ying's hand tightly, and both of them walked in silence through the snow to Tian Dazhu's house.
As soon as I arrived at Tian Dazhu's house, I heard a noise from a distance.
An obviously elderly voice was crying and wailing, making indirect accusations.
"I swear to God, I just said a few words to her! She was the one who wanted to go out in anger! How can she blame me for falling down?"
"Dazhuzi, you can't just listen to her! I was just saying a few words! Your wife has a bad temper, you know that!"
"Aunt! Aunt! Please say something for me. Did ** have a problem from the beginning? How could she have a premature birth because she slipped when going out?"
Wang Ying frowned as she entered the room.
Although they were talking about giving birth, the whole family was in a noisy situation, the yard was a mess, and they were actually busy arguing.
An old woman with high cheekbones was spitting all over the place, cursing and swearing that she didn't say anything. A middle-aged woman with a familiar face was supporting her next to her. The two of them were talking in the same tone, making the yard a mess.
There was also a man sitting on the threshold of the main room with his head in his hands. His expression could not be seen clearly, but judging from the way the two women were talking to him, he should be Qian **'s man, Tian Dazhui.
There were two or three neighbors in the yard, and there were also a few curious kids.
Tian Dazhu's yard was not big to begin with, and it seemed even smaller after being crowded together.
Wang Ying came in, and everyone's attention was still focused on the two chattering women in the center, and no one noticed her.
Just at this moment, an old lady with gray hair and trembling hands and feet came out.
"Oh no! This is a difficult birth, premature birth plus difficult birth... Hurry and find a midwife!"
Tian Dazhu's mother was very excited: "How can we find him? It's still snowing! Can we catch up by waiting for the midwife to come?! Auntie, please think of a way. You used to be the midwife in our team. You were the one who took care of Dazhu!"
The old midwife stamped her feet and said, "This is just the beginning. Go call the midwife. She can catch up in seven or eight hours! I think she will be late for this birth..."
Before she could finish her words, the sharp-looking woman beside the old lady interrupted her and said, "My poor sister-in-law! Why are you so unlucky? You finally had a boy, but it was difficult to give birth!"
Her shout immediately angered Qian **, who was waiting to give birth. She had already slipped and gave birth prematurely, and was in great pain. She also heard that this baby was difficult to give birth to, so she was extremely anxious. When she heard her sister-in-law cursing her outside, she was so angry that she shouted at the top of her voice.
In this way, there was cursing inside the house and quarreling outside the house. The two sides confronted each other and made the old midwife sweat all over.
Wang Ying thought to herself that this was not good. She was cursing at the top of her lungs and had used up all her energy. How would she give birth later
Wang Ying was about to step forward in anger, but Xu Shuang stopped her and handed her the medicine box: "I'll do it."
Xu Shuang was not vague either. She went up and pressed the chattering mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the snow. She was careful to apply force when pressing them, making them fall onto the soft snow pile.
"Ouch, which bastard pushed me?!"
Xu Shuang: "Shut up, and ask my wife to go in and take a look."
The old lady yelled at the top of her voice: "I know who your wife is! What does it have to do with you?"
Her daughter-in-law saw clearly in the light of the snow that the person who suddenly threw herself into the snow was the boy from the Xu family, Xu Shuang.
His wife... isn't she Wang Ying
The people around also saw clearly that the person standing in the yard with a medicine box on his back was the brigade’s newly appointed barefoot doctor, Wang Ying.
Wang Ying also saw the two people on the ground clearly. The woman who looked familiar was the one who hung out with Li Chunjuan every day. She would roll her eyes every time she saw her, so she had a deep impression of her.
"Quick, quick, big pillar, quickly ask Ying to go in and take a look!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lying in the snow were anxious.
"Why are you letting a girl who can't bear children in here? Isn't that a bad omen?"
"What can she see? She's worse than a midwife!"
Wang Ying said nothing. She stood in front of Tian Dazhu. Tian Dazhu's face, which was originally buried between his knees, slowly raised up and looked up from below. Wang Ying was standing at the door with a calm look.
"You are a family member, your wife is giving birth, and you let her give birth in this environment?"
Wang Ying was full of contempt: "I'm going in to see your wife now. If you have any intention, quickly find someone to go to the next brigade to find a midwife. You stay here. If there is any accident later, you, as a direct relative, will be needed."
Wang Ying finished her words lightly and went into the house with her medicine box.
Although there was a kang in Tian Dazhu's house, it was not very warm and the room was dark with only an oil lamp.
Wang Ying put down the medicine box and asked Qian, whose face was pale and sweaty: "The midwife hasn't come yet. Do you agree to let me watch you first?"
She still remembered the arrogant look on Qian**'s face the last time she came. If it has come to this point and Qian** still refuses to give in, and her man outside cannot be relied upon, and with the whole family making trouble, Wang Ying really needs to adjust her attitude.
Fortunately, although Qian** is poor and domineering, he is not stupid.
The old midwife did not become a midwife later because she was too old and could not accept new things. In recent years, no one in the brigade asked her for help when a baby was born. You can imagine how many inexperienced people there were.
As long as Wang Ying is here, at least I have some guarantees.
So even though Qian** felt that Wang Ying had never given birth and might not know much, she now understood that Wang Ying should be the person who could help her the most.
"I agree!"
Qian**'s eyes were full of pleading: "I beg you, please help me!"
Wang Ying opened the medicine box and said hello to the sweaty old midwife: "It looks like the two of us will have to stay up all night together today."
The old midwife breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wang Ying come in.
If the Tian family didn't call a midwife, she might have to quit her job soon.
She originally came to help out just for the one dollar Tian Dazhu asked for. If the child is not born and something happens to the adults, won’t she be in trouble
Fortunately, Wang Ying was here at this time. She was half a civil servant and could do the job. The old midwife was also willing to accumulate some good karma for herself.
"Just call me Grandma Tian."
Wang Ying opened the medicine box, pulled out two pairs of rubber gloves, and handed one to Grandma Tian: "Grandma Tian, put them on first."
The most important thing when giving birth at home these days is to prevent infection.
Grandma Tian put it on obediently and explained Qian**'s situation to Wang Ying: "She had a premature birth and a difficult birth. She has been motionless since she got pregnant. In addition, she didn't give birth for many years after giving birth to her last child, so the birth was not smooth... She fell and it seems that her legs are a little weak."
Wang Ying touched it first, and as soon as she touched it, she knew that Grandma Tian was right. It was far from the time to give birth.
But Qian** was no different from being fished out of the water. She was gasping for breath in pain and said to Wang Ying: "When I gave birth to my first and second daughter, it took me more than a day..."
The reason why children are born slowly is that the first stage of the cervix dilation may take three or four hours for some people, while for others it may take a whole day. Qian** has always been a slow birther, so she was mentally prepared for this.
But can this be the same
This time it was premature birth and there was a leg injury!
Wang Ying felt that the situation was getting more difficult. She prescribed two herbs and gave them to Tian Dazhu: "Boil some water, cook the herbs and put them on the stove. Make something for your wife, and heat up the kang in your room for me!"
There’s a woman in labor in there and she’s still so cold with a fever!
He took out his pocket watch and saw that it was past eight o'clock in the evening. He sighed deeply and said to Xu Shuang who came to his side, "Why don't you go back and eat something before coming back?"
It was supposed to be a nice New Year's Eve, but now both of them are stuck here.
Xu Shuang shook her head: "I'll keep an eye on you outside."
Tian Dazhu's mother and sisters-in-law are both troublesome. Just now, after Wang Ying came in, she started swearing at them, which caused Xu Shuang to glare back at her.
"We still have to ask the captain to come and take charge."
Wang Ying also nodded. The Tian family's commotion was not normal. Whose mother-in-law and sisters-in-law would still make trouble outside when a pregnant woman was giving birth? Obviously there was something going on.
Xu Shuang looked coldly at Tian Dazhu, who remained motionless after being told that by Wang Ying, and despised such a man in her heart.
As he was speaking, Tian Youfu arrived.
When Tian Youfu arrived, Tian Dazhu's mother and sister-in-law began to lose some of their momentum.
Wang Ying was busy taking care of Qian ** inside, so she left Xu Shuang outside to deal with Tian Youfu.
Tian Youfu came over in the heavy snow. Daya was wrapped in a scarf and had a runny nose. Her tears were frozen on her little face. She was too cold to cry.
Xu Shuang explained the situation to Tian Youfu: "Please arrange for someone to call the midwife. Wang Ying is the doctor of our brigade. She shouldn't be involved in this kind of matter. She is just here to help."
Tian Youfu responded and prepared to call Tian Dazhui to go.
Xu Shuang stopped him and said, "Tian Dazhu can't go. He has to stay here. If anything happens later, he has to make the decision."
Xu Shuang always remembered what Wang Ying had just said and stopped the man.
Tian Youfu also thought it was right, and pointed at Tian Dazhu's brother, Tian Erzhu, and said, "You go!"
Tian Erzhu was originally brought here by his wife, and had been serving as a mascot. He was suddenly assigned such a task, and was also confused: "Me? I won't go!"
It's so scary in this heavy snow! Walking in the snow is like having half of your body stuck in water. After walking for seven or eight hours, you will be frozen to death!
Tian Erzhu’s wife also protested fiercely: “Why are you asking my wife to go? Whoever owns his wife should take care of her. His wife is giving birth, why shouldn’t he be asked to go?”
The finger was almost pointing at Tian Dazhui's nose.
Tian Dazhu's mother also trembled: "Go call Dazhu! Dazhu! Your wife is giving birth, how can you let your brother suffer! Hurry up, go call someone!"
Tian Youfu: "Don't bother to complain here. You are a family. Your brother has to stay here to watch over the place. Just go when I tell you to go. I'll let Dashu go with you with a flashlight."
Tian Dashu is a strong man, and as a militiaman, he is also very kind-hearted.
Tian Erzhu was still nagging: "Why not just ask Dashu to go? Why are you asking me to go?"
Tian Youfu's eyebrows were raised, and he wanted to whip him with a whip: "That's your brother, your nephew, Dashu is here to help, you don't go and ask him to go, how dare you say that!"
Tian Youfu was not only the team leader, but also had the highest seniority among all the Tians. He came up and kicked, "Hurry up! Go!"
Tian Erzhu was kicked twice and rolled in the snow, begging for mercy: "Uncle San, Uncle San, I'll go! Stop kicking me!"
Tian Dazhu's mother was also silent. Although she was of the same generation as Tian Youfu, she did not dare to raise her voice to Tian Youfu.
Tian Erzhu had no choice but to go with a wronged look on his face.
Tian Youfu took another look at the cowardly Tian Dazhui and wished he could beat up both brothers.
Tian Dazhu called out "Uncle San" in a stammering voice, and then busied himself boiling water.
Daya was very smart. She ran around the house several times and took out two chairs, giving one to Tian Youfu and one to Xu Shuang.
Tian Dazhu's mother spat and cursed this dead girl in her heart for being a snobbish person. Her own grandmother was just sitting here doing nothing, but she was trying to flatter others.
Forget about Tian Youfu, but who is Xu Shuang? How dare she sit down! She has no respect for the elderly at all. She is indeed from a bad family!
Wang Ying was busy inside. Qian**'s lack of strength in his legs was a big problem. Wang Ying didn't dare to prescribe medicine, so she just got an injection kit and gave him a few injections to see if he could regain some strength.
Daya obediently followed her father to make a fire. Erya hid somewhere for a long time and only dared to come out when she saw her sister coming back. She followed her sister like a little tail.
Wang Ying was busy inside for a while. When she came out to take a breath, she saw Tian Youfu. Tian Youfu was particularly friendly to Wang Ying and said, "This is the Little New Year. I'm sorry to bother you and Xu Shuang. I'll ask Dazhu to give you two a bigger red envelope later."
Wang Ying lowered her eyes and didn't say this. Instead, she talked about something else: "Qian** asked me to come out and say something. She said she fell today and her nephew pushed her."
Qian ** heard Tian Youfu's voice in between the pain. He really couldn't swallow this. He wondered if he could escape with his life, so he simply asked Wang Ying to come out and explain.
After Wang Ying finished speaking, Tian Erzhu's wife jumped up high.
"Who said that! Who said it was my Dabao who pushed me?! Who saw it? She just wanted to put the blame on me, but that's not allowed!"
Tian Dazhu's mother also sat on the ground and cried, "How can it be Dabao! Dabao is just a six-year-old kid, what can he do! Even if she is angry with me for saying a few words to her, she can't rip my heart out like this!"
Wang Ying was too lazy to watch the family drama, so she left the outside to Tian Youfu: "You guys can argue, just don't let anyone in."
Qian** insisted on arguing. Wang Ying advised her to wait until after she gave birth, but she had to come at this time.
Wang Ying thought about it and understood. After Qian** was born, if both the adults and the child were safe, then when you talk to people about it, they will just say that there is nothing wrong with you and why bother with the child.
Now, one reason is that Qian** is afraid that he can't get through this, and the other is that Qian** has to vent his anger by fighting with his mother-in-law and sisters-in-law at this time.
Wang Ying shook her head and went into the house. Encountering such a scene while delivering a baby really enriched her life experience.
Outside, Tian Youfu tended to believe Qian** right away. It was not because Qian** was trustworthy, but because Qian** herself was stubborn, her words were very harsh, and she was not popular, so no one wanted to pay attention to her.
She also felt uncomfortable having two daughters, and would make sarcastic remarks when she saw other families with sons. She looked unpleasant.
But the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who confronted her were even more annoying.
Tian Youfu frowned. Because they were relatives involved, Tian Youfu knew this family very well.
Tian Dazhu's mother has two sons. She lives with her husband with the younger son. She has never been very close to her eldest son's family. It was okay in the past few years. Even if they were not close, he was her son after all. He got married and divided the family. The eldest son saved some money and built a house.
As a result, Qian** gave birth to a girl, and five years later, she gave birth to another girl, also a girl. After the second girl was born, she was unhappy for several years.
You have to know that the reason why there are so many people in the countryside is because there are so many births. Nowadays, every family has several children, and some women give birth to seven or eight children in a row.
Tian Dazhu has only two daughters and no son, and his daughter-in-law is unhappy to see this.
Tian Dazhu's mother didn't know what she was thinking, but she thought that Tian Dazhu would have to rely on his younger brother's children for his retirement. Not only did she think so, she also did it.
In the past, he only visited Tian Dazhu’s house during the holidays, but now he comes to Tian Dazhu’s house every few days.
Tian Dazhu is a dull guy, and he has been bullied for many years. People in the brigade say that he can't have a son and can't have a descendant. He has lost his ambition and is now a coward.
After so many years, I don't know if Qian** saw the problem clearly, but she had to do everything she could to get pregnant. Since she got pregnant, she has been saying with certainty that she is pregnant with a son.
The relationship has become awkward now. Tian Dazhu's mother has been complaining for years that Dazhu will have to rely on his nephew in the future. Now suddenly her eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant with a grandson, and Tian Dazhu's mother feels uncomfortable.
Tian Youfu knew clearly that all the talk about relying on his nephew for support in his old age was just empty talk. The actual reason was that Tian Dazhu's mother was partial to him.
If she wasn't biased, would she be so resolute in dividing the family and following her younger son
You have to know that most people in the team still have old ideas and think that following the eldest son is the right thing to do.
All in all, it is perfectly normal if the old lady has evil intentions and wants her eldest daughter-in-law to be unable to give birth to a son.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law swore to the sky that they definitely did not do it, and if they really did it, they would pay with their lives to Qian**.
Just as Tian Youfu was about to speak, Erya next to him started crying, "He was the one who pushed me! Dabao was lying at the gate of our yard, and when he saw my mom coming out, he pushed me!"
"I saw it all!"
When the onlookers heard this, they all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
Erya was still young, and she was still crying and complaining incoherently: "Grandma is bad! She came to take our firewood! She also took away all our food! My second aunt said I was a money-loser and took away my boiled eggs."
The little girl burst into tears and said, "My birthday egg!"
She didn't know anything else. She just knew that her mother was giving birth to her younger brother in the house, and she didn't forget to ask that pretty sister to come out and complain to Third Grandpa. It must be Third Grandpa who was in charge. She just wanted to cry and shout, and it would be best if both her grandmother and Second Aunt were arrested!
Dad is useless, and although mom is usually not very nice to them and her sisters, she takes care of their food, clothing, and they don’t want to be without her!
Daya was sensible. When she saw her sister crying, she hugged her sister and cried silently.
There were also muffled groans from the birth of Qian ** in the room, which mixed together and made people nearby feel sad.
Tian Youfu grabbed the dumbfounded Tian Dabao in his hand. He had been the team leader for so many years, and his face sank so much that even the members were startled. Now he was looking at a little kid with a dark face.
Tian Dabao burst into tears immediately: "It's not me, it's not me! It's... it's my mom! My mom said that as long as my aunt doesn't give birth to a brother, I can still eat eggs and meat in the future. Third Grandpa, please don't hit me, wuwuwu."
He confessed so quickly that Tian Erzhu's wife didn't even have time to react before the hat was pinned on her.
She also cried out for injustice, but the difference was that she truly felt she was wronged.
She really didn't want to do anything to her sister-in-law! She just cursed her and hoped that she wouldn't give birth! Who knew that her youngest son heard it? At his age, he was very active and loved to learn to talk. Children couldn't think so much, so they did what the adults wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
Tian Youfu had a stern face. Seeing that the situation was not good, Tian Dazhu's mother immediately went to pull her eldest son away.
Tian Dazhu held a spoon and stood at the door of the kitchen, his face full of surprise: "Mom, is what Erya said true?"
Although Tian Dazhu was a coward, he never thought of harming his wife. Just for such a thing, his mother asked his nephew to push over his pregnant wife
Tian Dazhu's mother's face tightened. The child had already confessed. She could not argue any more. She simply threw the pot and said, "Your wife is old now. She is a girl. What's wrong with what your sister-in-law said? I think you will not have a son this time. You will have to rely on your nephew."
Tian Dazhu's mother took it for granted: "This time it was just the child who was careless. How bad could he be at such a young age? I didn't expect your wife to be so useless. She was already stable for more than seven months, but she still said that she would be born prematurely after a fall. Your nephew was so scared that he was pitiful. As an uncle, you shouldn't compete with Dabao, right?"
Veins popped up on Tian Dazhui's arms. He was not a real clay man, so how could he not hear the threat in my mother's words
Tian Youfu also had a gloomy face. This matter was now a family matter, and it depended on Tian Dazhu's position.
Da Ya and Er Ya stopped crying. The two children looked at the people in the yard and found that the person they liked the most was Xu Shuang with a cold face. The two little girls leaned against Xu Shuang, and what was rare was that Xu Shuang did not push them away.
Daya looked at her father with bitterness in her eyes, while Erya's face was full of anger. She didn't understand the adults' roundabout ways, but she grew up in this environment and sensitively realized that it was time for her father to speak.
Tian Dazhu opened his mouth, he was very conflicted.
He couldn't be sure that Qian**'s baby was a son. If Qian** really gave birth to a son, he would have to break up with his mother and brothers at this time, but what if it was a girl
When Tian Dazhui's expression was seen by his two daughters, Erya's tears started to flow again. She grabbed her sister's hand and decided in her heart that she would hate her father for the rest of her life.
He is in cahoots with grandma!
Xu Shuang suddenly said, "When we came here just now, we heard them persuading Tian Dazhu not to go find a midwife."
Although this sentence is straightforward, it is no less than a thunderclap!
Not to mention Tian Dazhui who was the center of attention, even the onlookers remembered that, indeed, at the beginning, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kept asking the old midwife to take care of it, and they didn't want to pay the doctor at all. Even if it was Wang Ying, it was her daughter-in-law who went out secretly to find a doctor.
Tian Youfu also became much more serious. Tian Dazhu's mother still hadn't figured it out, and Tian Erzhu's wife was really dumbfounded.
What does Xu Shuang mean? Are they planning to let Qian** die in there on purpose
She's not! She doesn't!
Tian Erzhu's wife's voice trembled: "Don't slander me! I didn't, I didn't say not to call a midwife! It was all... it was all said by my mother-in-law!"
Tian Dazhu's mother was suddenly stabbed in the back by her young daughter-in-law whom she had always liked, and she was completely stunned.
She didn't want to call a midwife, but didn't she think that the eldest son's money should be spent on the eldest child? Besides, there were many people in the countryside who delivered their own babies. Qian**'s first two births were also difficult, but even if they were difficult, didn't they all go smoothly in the end
I paid the midwife two dollars for giving birth to a baby. In such heavy snow, she might have to pay three dollars. It's not worth it at all!
Tian Dazhu's face was filled with pain. He was tortured by the possibility that his mother had tried to make his wife die during childbirth in order to get him to raise his brother's child. Tian Dazhu screamed in his heart.
Why doesn't he have a son! Why can't he have a son!
Now that he has a son, he will no longer be a coward. He will be able to cheer up and work hard for his son! He will become an excellent father.
He is such a good man, why can't he have his own son!
When Tian Youfu saw Tian Dazhu, whose face was still filled with tears of pain but who hadn't said anything definite, he couldn't help but let out a breath.
Even at this point, he still doesn't have any rigidity, which shows that this person is just like that.
He always thought that he would become a great man if he had a son, but he was not a person who could change his mind suddenly. If he really had a son, based on his current state, he would not become a great man for his son!
Tian Youfu: "I've made a note of this for both of you."
If a child pushes someone, it's a family matter. But if you adults try to stop them from looking for someone, it becomes a question of your mentality and attitude.
If the money transfer goes smoothly, it will be fine and the punishment will be lighter later, but if the money transfer does not go smoothly, the team will have no choice but to deal with these two people.
Tian Youfu's final verdict made Tian Dazhu's mother and Tian Erzhu's wife collapse. They both knew that it was all about money. If the money was good, they would just fine him. If the money was not good, they would probably be like old dogs, picking up manure.
Wang Ying listened to the whole process in the room and said something to Qian** who looked pale.
"You two girls are very nice to you."
The two children were not very old. The older one knew to go out and find someone to save people, and the younger one knew to speak for his mother.
Such a child is so adorable.
Qian**'s face was filled with pain, and tears were streaming down his face.
She was not nice to the two girls, but in the end, it was Xu Shuang, an outsider, and her two daughters who spoke for her.
She encountered difficulties, her husband was not something she could rely on, her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law were malicious, and even justice had to be fought for by the two children with tears.
Wang Ying didn't say anything more. She was also worried. One was whether Qian** could give birth smoothly, and the other was...
She also didn't know whether the child was a boy or a girl.
It seems that Qian** is obsessed with his son. With his son, the family can stand up straight and no longer be exploited by his brothers. But what will happen to Daya and Erya at that time
If it was a daughter, would Qian** still be good to her three daughters? Would her husband be able to stand up
…
The night was long, and the neighbors heard the gossip and went home to rest. Tian Youfu couldn't stand it anymore, so he told him to come tomorrow morning and remember to call him if there was anything urgent.
Tian Erzhu's wife and Tian Dazhu's mother also left. When they left, they looked at each other with stern faces, expecting that they would have another quarrel when they returned.
Wang Ying stayed up until two o'clock in the morning, and Xu Shuang called her outside the door to come out for a bite to eat.
Xu Shuang had prepared a large table of dishes for the New Year's Eve, but it was not suitable to deliver them now. Xu Shuang took some time to go back and heated up two white flour buns, one with meat and one with vegetables. She also heated up some leftover soy milk from the morning.
Wang Ying ate it up in big mouthfuls and gave the last half to the little sister standing next to her.
Daya pulled Erya and told her not to take the meal: "Sister, we are not hungry, you eat it."
Wang Ying felt a pang in her heart. Such a sensible and well-behaved girl would be treated like a treasure in any family.
Without further ado, Wang Ying stuffed the buns into their mouths and looked at the sky. "I guess the midwife will be here in the morning, and the cervix will be open by then."
Wang Ying was not just sitting there doing nothing. She had to help Qian** adjust his breathing while giving him injections on his legs. In the meantime, she also had to keep an eye on when the cervix below would open.
Because the cervix was dilating slowly, Wang Ying gently used a set of Chinese medicine massage techniques that she had learned before to adjust Qian**.
There had been no prenatal check-up before, and Wang Ying felt that the baby was not in the right position. Grandma Tian was also frightened, fearing that it was a hungry old man or a lotus birth.
Seeing Wang Ying using techniques to adjust the fetal position, Grandma Tian was amazed and said that when she was learning from an old midwife, the old lady also knew a set of massage techniques, but she did not learn them.
Two people were guarding inside the house, while Xu Shuang and Tian Dazhu were guarding outside.
When Wang Ying came out for some fresh air at around four o'clock, Xu Shuang already had two babies in her arms.
Da Ya and Er Ya refused to go in and fell asleep on the stool. Xu Shuang saw that they were wearing thin clothes and held them in her arms.
Seeing Wang Ying coming out, Xu Shuang wanted to say something, but swallowed it back after a moment.
Wang Ying took a sip of water. After boiling it all night, the hot water had turned cold. She could only hold it in her mouth before swallowing it.
Suddenly, Grandma Tian's voice came from inside the house: "The cervix is open! Quick! Wang Ying, the cervix is open!"
Wang Ying dropped the teacup and rushed in, she was also confused. Just now she felt that she was almost there and thought she could last another two hours, but how come her cervix opened
Wang Ying looked down and made a prompt decision: "Let's get started!"
The cervix has already opened, so even if the midwife is not in place, she cannot push the baby's head back.
Qian** had been in pain all night and was too weak to even scream. Wang Ying poured her the medicine that was stewing on the stove. Fortunately, Tian Dazhui prepared two poached eggs and fed them to her in the second half of the night, so she had enough strength now.
Wang Ying and Grandma Tian were busy running around, Tian Dazhu was also wandering outside, and Daya and Erya were also staring at the fire.
Although there are few people, it is still quieter to give birth this way compared to the grand scene last night.
Thanks to Wang Ying's effective massage, the child's position was adjusted. After more than an hour, the child's first cry was finally heard.
At this time, Tian Erzhu was exhausted and followed Tian Dashu, who was holding a middle-aged woman in his hand and kept shouting, "The midwife is here!"
As the midwife entered the room, she heard a scream.
Okay, catch up with the tail.
Wang Ying wiped the sweat from her head and handed the child to Qian**, who was still somewhat conscious, to take a look at him.
Tian Dazhu also stood up at the door, knocking over the chair. He was so anxious that he didn't dare to rush into the house, so he could only crane his neck at the door.
"Is it born? Is it born? Is it a son?"
