Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 311 Big Fat Boy
Zhang Shuzhen has given birth to six children, so it can be said that she has rich experience.

As soon as her daughter-in-law said that she peed her pants, she immediately realized that something was wrong, the amniotic fluid should have broken.

"Girl, do you have any other feelings now? Does your stomach hurt?"

As soon as the amniotic fluid breaks, it means that the birth is about to happen, so you have to prepare quickly.

Zhou Qinglan was stunned when she heard this, "Does your stomach hurt? It doesn't seem like..."

Before the word "no pain" could be uttered, Zhou Qinglan felt her stomach tighten and suddenly ached.

"Mom, my stomach hurts." In an instant, Zhou Qinglan's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth.

"Oh, you brat, you won't even let your mother eat a quick meal."

What else do you not understand?My daughter-in-law is about to give birth.

While muttering, Zhang Shuzhen supported Zhou Qinglan to sit down, "Girl, get on the kang quickly, don't wander around.

The amniotic fluid is broken and I don't know when I will be able to give birth, but don't move around, so you can stay still and save your energy. "

As Zhang Shuzhen said, she hurriedly dug out pillows and mattresses from the kangqin and put them on the bed.

On top of the mattress, a mat made of various rags was spread, and a thick layer of straw paper was spread on the mat, followed by toilet paper.

These days, women give birth basically at home, and very few go to the hospital.

Qianchuan Forest Farm is tens of miles away from the Bureau Hospital, not to mention that there is no car now, even if there is a car, it may not be possible to catch up.

The forest farm only has a health center, and there are no conditions for delivering babies, so they can only stay at home.

If it was decades ago or in ancient times, when a woman gave birth at home, most of the sheets were covered with straw, and under the straw was a layer of plant ash.

The conditions are better now, so Zhang Shuzhen used the family's old clothes to wash and sewed a mat in advance.

At this time, straw paper and white toilet paper were spread on the mat to absorb the blood and amniotic fluid during childbirth, which was cleaner and more convenient than plant ashes.

Zhang Shuzhen tidied up everything very quickly, then helped Zhou Qinglan onto the kang, half leaning against the partition wall.

"Girl, don't be afraid, it's okay, Mom is here.

You have a stomachache at the beginning, and it is not certain when you will be born. I will bring you a plate of dumplings first, and you will eat it. We will have the strength to live when we are full. Wait. "

After speaking, Zhang Shuzhen came out from Westinghouse.

"Fourth and fifth, hurry up and invite your Aunt Chen and Aunt Wang over here, and tell them that your sister-in-law is about to give birth, and ask them to come over and help."

When Zhang Shuzhen entered the east room, she didn't care that the children at home hadn't eaten, so she hurriedly asked Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei to invite someone.

Qianchuan Forest Farm has no professional midwives.

Back then, those young daughters-in-law who married thousands of miles from their hometown in Shandong to the Northeast all helped each other deliver their babies, and this is still the case today.

After all, most of these women have given birth to five or six children and have experience.

Zhang Shuzhen couldn't do it alone, so she asked her daughter to invite Xu Xiuxiang and Chen Xiuzhi to help.

In the east room, the children sat at the table, and no one moved their chopsticks.

The mother and sister-in-law didn't come over, they didn't dare to move the chopsticks first, this is the rule.

Upon hearing her mother's words, Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei hurriedly put on their shoes and went to the ground, put on a cotton coat, hat and scarf, and hurried out of the house.

One of the two sisters went to Chen's house and the other to Wang's house, looking for help.

In winter, most people eat two meals for peace of mind.

When Sheng Yunfang went to the Chen family, it happened that the Chen family had just put on the table for dinner.

"Aunt Chen, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, and my mother asked me to come and ask you to help." Sheng Yunfang said as she entered the door.

"What? Your sister-in-law is going to give birth? Oops, it's ahead of time. The brat wants to come out early for New Year's Day."

When Xu Xiuxiang heard this, she put down her chopsticks, put on her shoes and went to the ground, and said while putting on her coat.

"Juan'er, I'll go to your grandma's house first, you guys can eat at home."

There is no guarantee of having a child. Some people live fast, while others live slowly.

Xu Xiuxiang didn't know what was going on with Zhou Qinglan either, so she didn't dare to delay and hurried over.

"Mom, I'll go with you. I'm young. I'll do whatever I need." Zhao Juan also put down her chopsticks, got up and put on her clothes to follow.

"When my mother gave birth to the seventh child, the eighth child, and the ninth child, I helped deliver the babies, and I cut the umbilical cord."

There are many children in the family, so the eldest can know everything. The next few younger siblings were born under the witness of Zhao Juan.

Xu Xiuxiang just wanted to say, when someone has a baby, what did you girl do in the past.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Juan said these words, Xu Xiuxiang couldn't say what she had said, so she could only nod her head.

"Okay then, come and see with me.

Weimin, you lead your younger siblings at home, clear the table after dinner, and don't do anything foolish, do you hear me? "

Chen Weimin and the others nodded in response, Xu Xiuxiang and Zhao Juan were fully dressed, and hurried out of Chen's house to Sheng's house.

Xu Xiuxiang's mother-in-law and Chen Xiuzhi arrived at Sheng's house. They didn't go directly to the west room, but went to the east room to take off their coats, hats and scarves, and warmed up for a while.

Then when they came to the outhouse, Xu Xiuxiang and Chen Xiuzhi went to wash their hands carefully.

"Juan'er, wash the pot quickly, clean it with soap, and then boil a large pot of water." Xu Xiuxiang ordered her daughter-in-law to work.

Zhao Juan responded, and followed her mother-in-law's instructions, carefully brushed the Westinghouse pot twice, and Sheng Xikang brought firewood from the other end to light a fire, and then boiled a pot of water.

Westinghouse, Zhou Qinglan managed to eat a dozen or so dumplings under the care of her mother-in-law.

Right now, her stomach hurts more and more every now and then.

"Sister-in-law, how is the eldest daughter-in-law? Does your stomach hurt badly? Did the amniotic fluid break first, or did you see red first?"

After Xu Xiuxiang and Chen Xiuzhi had warmed up, they opened the door and entered the Westinghouse.

"The amniotic fluid broke first, I ate something just now, and now I say it's a stomachache that's getting worse and worse."

Zhang Shuzhen had been with her daughter-in-law all the time, and she was relieved to see that the two sisters who got along well had come.

"Daughter-in-law, how often do you feel the pain? Is the pain severe?"

Xu Xiuxiang gave birth to seven children, one more than Zhang Shuzhen. She has rich experience.

While going forward to touch Zhou Qinglan's stomach, she asked Zhou Qinglan how much her stomach hurts.

"It seems to be quite fast, every few minutes." Zhou Qinglan gritted her teeth and endured a wave of contractions before answering.

"Okay, tell me when you're in pain again, and I'll show you the time."

Xu Xiuxiang instructed Zhou Qinglan while turning to look at the clock on the wall.

A few minutes later, Zhou Qinglan yelled out pain, Xu Xiuxiang took note of the time and carefully checked the interval between the two contractions.

"Well, once every five or six minutes, I guess the eldest daughter-in-law is about to give birth.

It's okay, relax, don't be nervous, I gave birth to seven, your mother gave birth to six, and they are all supported.

Don't worry, don't force yourself down now, it's not time yet, when it hurts every three to four minutes, your back hurts and sweats, it's almost time. "

Xu Xiuxiang held Zhou Qinglan's hand and comforted her.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on January [-]st, Zhou Qinglan, who was seven or eight days away from her due date, her amniotic fluid broke, and then she had a stomachache.

It may be that Zhou Qinglan has not been idle since she was pregnant, and she has been insisting on attending classes and participating in various activities, or it may be because she is young, anyway, the cracks open very quickly.

At around 04:30 in the afternoon, as Xu Xiuxiang said, my stomach hurts every four to five minutes, and my back and forehead hurt and sweat.

"Lie down properly, you can try to use your strength now, don't worry, take your time and use long strength.

Take a deep breath, hold it back and use your strength. "

Xu Xiuxiang directed Zhou Qinglan, teaching her how to exert force, how to exert force in conjunction with contractions.

As the so-called concern is chaos.

Having given birth to so many children, Zhang Shuzhen, who was supposed to treat her with a normal heart, panicked when she saw her daughter-in-law's pained face turned pale and her forehead was sweating.

Thanks to the presence of Xu Xiuxiang and Chen Xiuzhi, these two were calm, directing Zhao Juan to work and teaching Zhou Qinglan how to breathe and exert force.

Zhou Qinglan's mind was blank at the moment, relying only on instinct, taking advantage of the painful contractions, he held his breath and pressed down.

Just after she exerted herself a few times, she heard someone shouting.

"It's coming soon, you can see the scalp, if you push harder, the baby will come out."

So, Zhou Qinglan took a break and continued to exert force. After two or three times of force, the child's head came out.

Xu Xiuxiang and Chen Xiuzhi stepped forward, one held Zhou Qinglan's stomach, and the other held the child's head with his hands.

"Hurry up, use your strength quickly, and it will be fine after two more strokes. At this time, you must not stop, or the child will get stuck here and will not be able to get up and down, and it will be easy to suffocate."

Zhou Qinglan gritted her teeth and tried again. Suddenly, she felt her stomach was empty, and something seemed to have come out.

"Hey, it's a kid, a fat and chubby kid."

Xu Xiuxiang supported the baby's buttocks with one hand, held the baby's feet with the other, lifted the baby upside down, and patted the baby twice.

The newborn baby cried out in pain.

The cry of a baby was like the sound of nature, and the anxious people in the room were immediately relieved.

Next, Xu Xiuxiang cut the baby's umbilical cord with a brand-new pair of scissors that had been boiled and sterilized, and then tied the remaining umbilical cord with gauze and wrapped it up.

At this time, Zhao Juan came in with hot water, Xu Xiuxiang gave the baby a brief wipe, and then quickly wrapped it in a big bag and a quilt.

Then Zhao Juan handed over a steelyard, Xu Xiuxiang hooked the package with a scale hook, and weighed the child.

"Six catties and six taels, big fat boy. Sister-in-law, congratulations."

Xu Xiuxiang was so happy that she quickly put the child down and congratulated Zhang Shuzhen at the same time.

People generally don't eat well these days, and pregnant women don't have much good food to eat, so it's rare to raise a fetus that is particularly large.

Some babies weigh only four or five catties when they are born, not much bigger than a cat.This kind of child who weighs more than six pounds is considered very fat.

It is very rare to be like a child who can't move seven catties or weighs eight catties in later generations.

In fact, this is also good, considering the current conditions, if a child weighs eight pounds, the mother will suffer from old age.

If one fails to give birth to the fetus, it will be one dead body and two lives.

At this time, how could Zhang Shuzhen have time to pay attention to the children?

She packed up the baby's afterbirth and placenta, and then wiped Zhou Qinglan's blood with a clean white cloth.

When the blood is cleaned up, just roll up the toilet paper, straw paper, etc., throw it on the ground, and clean it up later.

"It's okay, girl, just close your eyes and rest for a while, Mom will tidy up for you right away, and you can go to sleep peacefully after tidying up."

Zhang Shuzhen packed up the things on the kang, tidied it up for Zhou Qinglan, covered her with a quilt, then took the baby and put it beside Zhou Qinglan.

Zhou Qinglan didn't have much strength at the moment, she just turned her head to look at the baby beside her.

"Oh, why are you so ugly?"

Becoming a mother for the first time, despite all the excitement in her heart, Zhou Qinglan couldn't hold back when she saw the child who was flushed and wrinkled like a little old man, and said that the child was ugly.

"Look at you, why do you think your own child is ugly?
This kid looks so good, you wait for two days, his face will change back, and he will grow up a little bit, he will be handsome. "

When Xu Xiuxiang and the others heard it, they couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhou Qinglan didn't understand, anyway, anyone who has experience can trust him, "Mom, I'm tired, let's go to sleep first."

It was really exhausting, Zhou Qinglan didn't care about looking after the child, closed her eyes, and fell asleep staring dazedly.

Zhang Shuzhen didn't say anything else, she just carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for her daughter-in-law, and after making sure that it wouldn't be exposed to the wind, she waved to Xu Xiuxiang and Chen Xiuzhi, and the three of them came out of the west room lightly.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, thank you.

Oops, I was so dazed just now, I can't remember anything, it's thanks to you guys who came to help me, otherwise I would have to be numb.

What, did you not eat?Just right, the dumplings cooked at home, hurry up, come over and have some. "

Zhang Shuzhen thanked the two, and invited them to eat in the east room.

At this time, how could Xu Xiuxiang and the others stay for dinner?
"Sister-in-law, we've been together for so many years, just like our own family members, don't talk to us heresy.

I don't think there's anything wrong with you here. Let's go back first, and we'll come back when the child is three days old. "

Zhang Shuzhen tried to persuade her to stay but to no avail, Xu Xiuxiang and others got dressed and left.

Zhang Shuzhen had no choice but to send her son and daughter off, while she hurried to the warehouse.

I took the pig's trotters, pheasants, etc. that were put in the wooden barrel in advance, and took it home to wait, planning to make something for Zhou Qinglan to eat.

"Mom, you haven't eaten yet, let's have a bite first."

Sheng Yunfei warmed up the dumplings in the pot, served them again, and asked her mother to eat.

Just now, Zhou Qinglan was busy with work, Zhang Shuzhen didn't care about eating at all.

"Oh, I was so busy that I forgot to be hungry." It's true, when people get busy, they can forget everything.

"Have all of you eaten?" Zhang Shuzhen remembered that she seemed to tell the children to eat first, and she didn't pay attention to whether they ate or not.

"Mom, we ate, don't worry." Sheng Yunfei hurriedly responded.

"When we came back from Aunt Wang's house, the few of us ate."

At that time, the Westinghouse was full of noise, and Sheng Yunfei and the others couldn't help, so they hurriedly ate the meal.

Zhang Shuzhen felt relieved, so she lowered her head and ate the dumplings.

The dumplings stuffed with cabbage were delicious, but Zhang Shuzhen couldn't eat any of them right now.

She was only thinking about her daughter-in-law and newborn grandson, how could she have the time to savor the taste of the dumplings?
If you don't feel hungry after eating something, hurry up and get some food for your daughter-in-law. Otherwise, how can the daughter-in-law have milk to feed the child?
