After Li Chengze came back, although Nanny Zhang was prepared for many things, he still asked them carefully.
At this time, all children are delivered by Wen Po, and the Li family is no exception.
The second wife sent a very experienced one, and Mrs. Sun has already appointed a good midwife here.
Although both of them are used to deliver babies, Li Cheng is still a little worried. He always feels that it will be safer to have a doctor around. If something happens, it will be easier for the doctor to deal with it with more experience.
Thinking in this way, he went to Xinglin Medical Center and invited a gynecologist to agree to come with him on the day of Gu Qingci's delivery.
No matter if it's Nanny Zhang or the servant girl, seeing Li Chengze's actions, they all feel emotional in their hearts, saying that the uncle really loves grandma very much, such considerate love, looking around, who in the capital can do it How is my uncle
Regardless of whether it is a large family or a small family, whoever gives birth to a child does not only find a midwife. This is not bad, but there are also those poor families, sometimes the women endure the pain for a while, and then give birth by themselves.
If it's really difficult to give birth or something happens, I can only blame my own bad luck.
Because people have always thought that women's childbirth is justified.
It was Li Cheng who gave Gu Qingci too much sense of security.
At first, Gu Qingci was a little scared, after all, it was her first time to be a mother, and it is not surprising that she would be scared if she had never given birth to a child.
But Li Cheng was too kind to her, more caring and worried than herself.
Most of Gu Qingci's mind was focused on being happy and complacent.
The closer to the day of giving birth, Li Chengze took Gu Qingci for a walk every day, and his diet became more and more strict. Gu Qingci didn't know whether it was her own glutton or the child in her stomach who was hungry, she always wanted to eat, no matter if it was melon If the snacks were anything else, she would eat a lot of them before she touched them.
After being told, she stared at the maids every day, but Yuzhu and the others were severely warned by Li Chengze, and they dared not follow Gu Qingci any more.
The day when Gu Qingci was born was on a certain morning.
The night before, Gu Qingci, who was asleep, woke up in a daze.
For no other reason, she had a little pain in her stomach, but it went away after a while, because she was very sleepy, so she fell asleep with her eyes drooped again.
I don't know how long later, when the stomach pain was very frequent, Gu Qing suddenly woke up suddenly, and then yelled "Ouch".
Li Chengze opened his eyes almost immediately, and asked, "What's the matter? Stomach pain?"
Gu Qingci groaned, "Mmm", and shouted again: "It hurts, I think I'm about to give birth!"
This situation had been rehearsed hundreds of times in Li Chengze's mind at least, so he got up calmly and quickly, and lit a lamp in the dark.
In the past few days, the servants have been vigilant. Whenever there is any movement in the main room, the maids outside soon get up. Li Cheng shouted, and the two maids walked in immediately.
He said: "Go and wake up the women, the official is about to give birth."
It was not yet daylight.
Yuzhu and Yuchuan had been taught many times by Nanny Zhang in advance, so they were nervous but calm.
The movements of his subordinates are nimble, one calls for people, and the other prepares things.
Soon, the whole house was brightly lit, and the kitchen was in full swing, cooking things and boiling water.
The two stable women both lived in Li's house half a month in advance, and now they are all fully dressed, and are led by the little maid to the delivery room.
In the bright room, the bed is soft and hard, and the bedding is clean and freshly washed, and it has been exposed to the sun, so it is soft and fluffy.
Gu Qingci was lying on the pillow with her head on it.
She gasped in pain with her little face, while Li Cheng sat by the bed to accompany her, coaxing her to talk and diverting her attention.
So Gu Qingci didn't bother to yell, Li Chengze was too gentle, although she was in unbearable pain, it wasn't unbearable.
As soon as Wenpo came in, she glanced around and nodded.
Daming House, clean and bright inside.
The puerpera is the weakest person, giving birth in such a room, the mood will be much clearer.
It should be known that many families think that women's childbirth is evil, with blood and filth, and unclean. Therefore, when giving birth, they usually prepare a most remote or dark room.
There is also the kind of rural family where when a woman gives birth to a child, she directly pulls the child to the kitchen or woodshed, lays a mat on the floor and lets the child be born.
They don't really treat people as human beings.
For a slightly better family, it is to prepare a darkroom and sundry room that is not usually used.
People like the Li family are very good.
So when Po Wen saw the situation, she nodded her head first. Confinement in the back of the house is also good for her health.
After Wenpo came in, she naturally asked Li Chengze to go out.
Although the host looks like a careless person, it's inconvenient to have a man in there.
Li Cheng did not insist that he must keep it, but just bowed his head and said to Gu Qingci: "Don't be afraid, I will guard outside, if you feel pain, call me."
Gu Qingci had her own thoughts, she didn't want the other party to see her unkempt, so she smiled and said, "Understood, Mr. Hurry up and get out."
There were two stable women, and Nanny Zhang and Yuzhu Yuchuan stayed inside to help.
Thinking of this, Li Chengze finally put down his snacks, touched Gu Qingci's forehead, then got up and walked out of the room.
The midwife was very experienced, she took off Gu Qingci's trousers to check, and estimated the time, it was still early.
Xin said that this lady is not a troublemaker, they have also delivered some rich people, some people can't stand the pain, they yelled at the beginning, and then quickly exhausted, this is very inappropriate, the strength should be reserved until It's better to use it later.
They all thought at the same time, it is rare for the Li family to see such a man who loves his wife.
A woman's life is going well, comfortable and happy, and she has never experienced hardship or anger, so when she has a child, all the grievances and sorrows in her heart will come out all at once, so she will cry like venting.
If you suffer a lot and get angry, you will be more or less depressed within five months, which may affect production.
The pregnant women raised in Fuwo are even easier to give birth to.
Gu Qingci is like this.
Li Cheng was waiting at the porch.
Time passed bit by bit, the sky gradually brightened, the distant sky was full of red clouds, and the morning dew dispersed little by little.
Standing outside, with his heart inside the room, he could hear Gu Qingci's soft calls, and only occasionally would he hum loudly when he was in severe pain.
Li Chengze was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. Seeing the sun rising, he found something to distract himself. First, he asked Yuan Bao to go to the Huichun Hall to invite the doctor over. Then he saw a maid carrying a hot water basin towel in. , I frowned and asked the servant if these things are clean, and the scissors have not been sterilized with hot water.
The master has said these things thousands of times, besides, the servant girl did not hold any scissors in her hands, so she knew that the master was nervous, so she respectfully said that they were all clean. A little sloppy.
After speaking, he opened the door and entered the room, and then closed it casually.
Li Cheng has no concept of time at all, and even feels that every second is like a year. It is the first time in his life to have such an experience and feeling, which is very magical.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden burst of crying in the room.
I heard the maids say again, "It's born, it's born."
Li Chengze's heart just fell to the ground, and he managed to stabilize his mind, with a serious expression on his face, and then pushed the door and walked out.
One of the two stable women was helping Gu Qingci clean up, and the other was wrapping the newborn child in swaddling clothes.
As soon as he heard the voice, seeing that it was the master's family coming in, he immediately raised a professional smile, held the child in his arms, and said, "Congratulations, grandpa, grandma has also added a daughter to the Li family. She is very healthy and beautiful!" He shook his hand lightly.
Don't look at her smiling like a flower on her face, but her heart is beating drums, because she is afraid that the master's family doesn't like girls, after all, which man doesn't look forward to having a son.
She thought that Li Chengze was the same.
But Li Chengze didn't think about the child for the first time, but went straight past her, walked to the bed, and hurriedly asked, "Is Guan Guan okay?"
Nanny Zhang was wiping the sweat off Gu Qingci's forehead, when she heard the words, she replied: "Grandma is fine, she just lost her strength and is a little tired."
Gu Qingci faintly heard Li Chengze's voice, and slowly opened his eyes.
With a hoarse voice, he called: "Xianggong..."
Li Cheng leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, and sighed: "It's been hard work, is it still uncomfortable?"
Gu Qingci raised her eyelids, although she was weak, she was still in good spirits, and said in a low voice, "Master, we have a good daughter, do you like it?"
Li Cheng smiled, "How can you not like it."
Wen Po, who was holding the child, just saw Li Cheng, but she didn't even look at the child, thinking that he didn't like girls.
Only now did I understand that the person who came here didn't like children, but was too worried about his wife.
When they heard them mentioning the child, they hugged the child joyfully again.
Said: "The girl is here."
Li Cheng turned his head, and his eyes fell on the swaddling baby in Granny Wen's hand.
There are little babies wrapped in it, and only then do I have a very real feeling in my heart.
He has a child.
A healthy and beautiful daughter.
The skin was flushed, the eyes were closed, and the mouth moved.
Li Chengze's heart suddenly softened.
He stretched out his hand unconsciously, and said slowly, "I hug her..."
—
The east courtyard also received the news a long time ago, when it was still dark before, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Bai went there.
It was still early at that time, and Li Cheng was afraid that the old man would be troubled, so he persuaded him to go back to rest, saying that there were a lot of maids and women here, and nothing would happen.
Mrs. Sun waited for a while before leaving.
It's just that she asked the mother-in-law to stay there when she left, and if she gave birth, she would come over and say something.
No, when Gu Qingci gave birth, he hurried over to report.
"Daughter? Is it really a daughter?" Mrs. Sun was a little unhappy, so she asked again.
The mother-in-law also knew that the old lady was looking forward to her grandson, and felt uncomfortable after having a granddaughter.
But the fact couldn't be changed, so he could only nod, saying that grandma had indeed given birth to a girl.
The disappointment on Sun's face could not be concealed.
The mother-in-law kept saying good things, "Bloom first and then bear fruit. One runs away with the other. As long as the young lady is safe, there is no fear that the grandson will not come."
Mrs. Bai said nonchalantly from the side: "Our Li family woman was the first to give birth to a son. She was a bit unlucky and gave birth to a girl."
When the old lady heard it, her heart sank even more.
So I didn't even have the mood to take a look, I just sent my mother-in-law to bring some food over, then turned around and went back to the room.
