After Li Jin walked out of the gate of the mansion, he immediately quickened his pace and walked directly towards the house.
He pushed open the door, walked around from the left side of the screen wall, passed through the outer courtyard and the hanging flower door, and he could see Xiao Cha was cleaning the courtyard.
Seeing him, Xiaocha immediately said, "Master is back."
Li Jin agreed and saw Qin Muwen standing at the door as soon as the door of the main house opened. Li Jin approached, only to see a small bun hidden behind him.
The little bun stuck out his head and said sweetly, "Daddy."
Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately his husband did not give birth during this time.
Li Jin first picked up the husband and gently placed it on the bed: "It's windy outside, you'll get cold when you open the door."
Looking down at Xiao Baozi again, seeing his sleepy expression, he simply hugged him on the bed: "You rest with Daddy."
The little bun yawned and consciously shrank into the quilt, revealing only a pair of eyes, with teardrops from tiredness hanging at the end of his eyes.
Li Jin wiped his tears, and the little bun fell asleep after a while.
But Qin Muwen was still not sleepy and talked to Li Jin in a low voice.
In the past few days, Li Jin's words have become less and less. Qin Muwen can feel his inner worry, so he wants to talk to him more about family affairs.
"Little Bun thought you would come back earlier today, and didn't go to rest at noon. I wanted to wait for Daddy to come back."
For the time being, Li Jin didn't say anything about the matter that the prefect called him over, but said, "I was delayed by the matter of the academy."
Qin Muwen said, "It's almost March, will there be another Cuju competition in the academy?"
"Um."
"Next year, I can take him and Xiaobaozi to watch you kickball together."
Li Jin looked at the smile on Qin Muwen's lips, thinking that he would participate in Enke this year, and he would most likely participate in the conference next year... The idea of family members wanting to see their Cuju, I'm afraid it will have to be postponed for another two years.
Qin Muwen was also used to Li Jin's state of not speaking for a long time. He took Li Jin's hand and put it on his belly.
"He's very good, and he will come out safe and sound this time."
Li Jin's hands were stiff, just like when Little Bun touched Dad's belly for the first time.
Qin Muwen suddenly hoped that the child would come out sooner, but he felt that it would be fine to wait for a while, but if A Jin continued to be so tense, his body would not be able to survive sooner or later.
But the second cub stayed in his father's belly for a full month. After a few days, seeing that the middle of March was coming, he still had no intention of coming up with it.
However, Qin Muwen has a good appetite and a good spirit recently. Although Li Jin is worried, she also knows that it is normal for her due date to be delayed a little.
Qin Muwen could only rest on his side recently, and he would be out of breath if he lay facing him.
At this time, when he got out of bed and walked, he had to hold his waist. Every time Li Jin watched him walk like this, he wanted to hold him directly in his arms.
But being able to walk more before giving birth is really beneficial for childbirth.
Duke Wen served delicious food and drink at Li Jin's house. He looked at the weather and said to Li Jin, "If it's past the tenth day of the first lunar month and the husband is still not born, just drink the medicine and induce labor."
Li Jin opened his mouth and agreed with a serious expression.
What Duke Wen said was very reasonable. If he didn't give birth by then, he really had to use unconventional methods.
After all, if a child spends an extra day in the womb, both adults and children will be at great risk.
On the night of the ninth day of March, Li Jin soaked the little husband's feet. As the child's months became more and more full, even if the meridians were massaged every day, the teenager's legs and feet would inevitably swell.
But fortunately, even if there is edema when I wake up in the morning, it will disappear quickly.
Before Li Jin could wipe the little husband's feet, he suddenly clutched his stomach and snorted, "A Jin."
Li Jin quickly wiped his feet and made him lean against the head of the bed. Li Jin's fingers trembled a little when he checked the pulse.
Fortunately, after the first labor pain, the pain in the body subsided for a while, and he said, "I'm fine."
Wen Gong was already asleep, but Xiao Cha went to wake him up and said eagerly, "The husband may be giving birth!"
Although Li Jin had no time to take care of other things at this time, he had already instructed everyone in advance what to do, and he had also bought enough medicinal herbs at home, so he was fully prepared for the prenatal period.
Duke Wen changed into clean clothes and cleaned his hands. When he entered the house, he looked at Li Jin who was standing by the wall as if he was facing a great enemy, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sir, this is the second child, it's not a big deal. The problem. It’s just that giving birth to a child is not painful. After a while, it will naturally be born.”
Li Jin still stood there and didn't speak.
Wen Gong said: "If you don't avoid it first, after all, the blood here will collide with you..."
Li Jin finally spoke: "I'm right here."
"what?"
"I am with him."
While Mr. Wen was surprised, he didn't continue to force it. Before, he told Li Jin that the rule for a big family to give birth to a child was to change the house for the midwife. After the child was born, the husband also had to sleep in a bed.
But it's actually not that strict.
Li Jin also rejected the proposal at the time: "No need, I take a shower every time I enter the house, it will not affect his body. As for changing houses and having children, there is no need. He is most familiar with this house and will feel more at ease."
Duke Wen could only reluctantly agree.
On Qin Muwen's side, giving birth to a second child is much faster than giving birth to the first child. Except for the long interval between the first few labors, the pain in the stomach is very regular before the birth.
Li Jin cut ginseng slices for him, and kept holding his hand beside him. Let him put the ginseng in his mouth when he is born.
At first, Qin Muwen was still in the mood to say to Li Jin, "I'm fine."
Later, the pain spread from that place to the limbs, and Qin Muwen sweated on his forehead and nose.
All he could do was hold Li Jin's hand tightly.
This time, I was well prepared, and it was the second child. Except for the ginseng slices that were useful, the soup and water had not come in handy, and the little cub came out of Dad's body.
At this time, Li Jin didn't let Wen Gong do it, but cut the umbilical cord neatly and protected the cub's navel with a clean cloth to avoid infection.
Afterwards, Li Jin planned to leave the matter of wiping his body and pressing his footprints to Duke Wen, who was stunned by the side.
But Duke Wen was still deeply shocked, and he didn't come back to his senses at all.
After he was overwhelmed, the cub was wrapped in a swaddle and fell asleep beside the midwife.
And Li Jin is skillfully handling the lower body of the midwife.
This time, he was well prepared, he put a thin mattress under Qin Muwen early, and prepared a basin next to him.
There is no need to change the bedding directly like the first time. Just remove the dirty mattress and wash it.
Li Jin tidied up the bed, put on clean trousers for the little husband, put on the quilt, and turned to look at Duke Wen beside him.
Duke Wen: "..." Who am I and what do I do.
Li Jin said, "Wait a moment."
Qin Muwen gave birth to two cubs, and it was more than an hour when the baby was full. When the baby fell to the ground, it was not yet the tenth day of March.
Li Jin asked Qin Muwen to spit out the ginseng pieces he was holding, and moistened his lips with honey water.
Only then did Duke Wen go out, and Xiao Cha was excited. He had been waiting outside the door just now. He originally planned to prepare the decoction directly if he was summoned.
But this time the delivery was obviously going well. He didn't stand for a long time when he heard the clear cry of the child.
Xiaocha hurriedly took out the big red seal that had been prepared in advance. After Duke Wen habitually took it, he only felt that it was not acceptable to accept it, and it was not acceptable not to accept it.
"You deserve it," Li Jin said.
Duke Wen is also a wise man, and said, "I will never say anything about today's affairs."
Li Jin smiled but did not say a word, and then let Xiaocha waiter Wen Gong rest, and Li Jin went into the house to accompany his husband and cub.
In fact, whether Duke Wen said it or not, it would have no effect on him. Li Jin originally knew medical skills, and everyone in their village and town knew it.
It's just that the childbirth went smoothly this time, and the red envelopes should be given to everyone as a joy.
Not only Duke Wen, but even Xiaocha has red envelopes.
After Li Jin entered the room again, Qin Muwen was in good spirits, and he was looking at the brows of the second cub seriously.
When Li Jin cut the umbilical cord for the second cub, Qin Muwen asked his child's gender.
Li Jin said, "Boy."
Qin Muwen looked carefully at this moment, and there was no cinnabar mole on the baby's reddish face. His second cub is indeed a boy.
Before that, A Jin said that he wanted to name the second cub Mountain Leopard... It seems that it is not impossible.
Qin Muwen suddenly remembered that when he asked Li Jin what to name the little bun, Li Jin said directly, "Leopard."
Of course, it was later changed to a small bun.
It can be seen that Li Jin really has a soft spot for leopards.
Despite this, Qin Muwen still felt that the name Mountain Leopard was a bit too... wild.
But A Jin likes it, so let him call him whatever, anyway, Xiaoshan Leopard still doesn't understand the meaning of the name.
At this point, the nickname of the second cub has been decided.
In fact, this is not out of the ordinary. Before Li Jin visited Chen Xiran's house as a guest, he heard his mother slip up and called Chen Xiran's nickname - Gouzi.
The nickname is originally for family members or relatives and friends who have a particularly close relationship. Outsiders generally call children Dalang and Erlang.
When the child grows up, it can be called directly.
Unlike when Xiao Baozi was born, his family was poor and could not even afford goat milk, so he could only eat it with rice cereal.
Xiaoshan Leopard now has goat milk when he is hungry, and his swaddling clothes and clothes are made of fine cotton cloth. He is much happier than his brother.
The next day, when Baozi woke up, he rarely found that his father was still in the main house.
He showed a small face at the door and said, "Daddy, aren't you practicing calligraphy today?"
Li Jin had already washed up and let him in.
The little bun found that Dad's belly was flattened!
Li Jin asked Baozi to be quiet and show him his sleeping brother.
"This is Mountain Leopard, Xiao Baozi's younger brother."
Li Jin thought that the little bun would be very happy, but how could he know that his eldest cub almost cried.
Li Jin: "Bun?"
The little bun was wronged: "Daddy, he is so ugly..."
Li Jin: "…"
Li Jin patiently explained that all newborn children are like this, and they will grow white and plump in a few months.
Seeing that this was what Daddy said, Little Bun reluctantly nodded, but he still didn't seem to believe it.
Today is the tenth day, rest day.
After having breakfast with Xiao Baozi, Li Jin took care of the husband and Xiaoshan Leopard at home leisurely, and of course, Xiaocha was doing the trick.
The little bun is very good now and can eat by himself. When Li Jin wrote a letter back to the village, he was studying by the side.
It is rare to see Xiao Baozi work like this.
Li Jin asked him the reason, and Xiao Baozi said seriously: "Reading will make people beautiful, and Baozi should read more to his younger brother."
Li Jin: "What kind of fallacy is this?"
The little bun counted with his fingers: "Daddy, Uncle Zou, Uncle Wan... all look good!"
