My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 9 Come to Life

Ning Qingxi stood up obediently, "Grandma Ding, auntie."

Ren Cuiping touched Ning Qingxi's little face curiously, "Xixi is really good, unlike the kid in my family who stays mischievous all day long."

It's not good to be a child, and you will be pinched by adults anytime, anywhere.Fortunately, Wang Xiujuan understood her granddaughter's distress signal and interrupted Ren Cuiping's movements to rescue her.

Several people chatted a few words about homework.Ren Cuiping said hello to Mrs. Wang Xiujuan and went to Fang Chunmei's room.

Mrs. Ding continued to play with wild vegetables with Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi.

"I heard that you delivered your grandson yourself? We have been neighbors for so many years, and I have never heard that you have this ability." Ding said with her mouth, but her hands were not slow.

"Hey, it's not just a matter of rush. I can't go first before the midwife comes? This child doesn't care whether you are ready or not."

"I learned a few tricks from my father before, so it just came in handy.

"Why didn't you hear that your father can deliver babies? Isn't he a doctor?"

"Which family can find a man for delivery?"

Mrs. Ding made sense when she heard it.Think again. "Then your father didn't take it, how could he?"

"Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig running? My father is a doctor, and I can learn a little bit from this midwifery book. He told me a lot of precautions for pregnant women. I was thinking about myself after I got married. Can you pay more attention, now I have given birth to three myself, what else do you not understand?"

Anyway, Wang Xiujuan's father is gone, so she can do whatever she says!

Mrs. Ding had no doubts, "I'm not here today just to chat, but to ask you for a favor. Didn't I hear that you can deliver babies? Our two families are so close, you should be able to tell that I'm here My daughter-in-law is going to give birth in the next two days, and the other midwives are too far away from my house, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of anything, so it's somewhat inconvenient."

"Our two families are close. Do you have time to go to my house to help my daughter-in-law deliver the baby?"

Wang Xiujuan was very happy, this was a come to life, and she was sure of it with the previous experience. "That's fine. As long as you believe in me, find someone to call me when you're about to give birth."

There is no fixed amount of money for a delivery, and some people don't pay attention to it, and they send the midwife two coins.The midwife who delivered the baby girl didn't dare to say anything, at most she complained in her heart and would never come again next time.

Generally, the price ranges from ten Wen to twenty Wen, and the specific amount depends on the family conditions of the host family.

But how much money you can get is also an income.Ning Changrong was busy, so they couldn't be idle either.

"Sister Ding, have you ever heard of Siong? It's a kind of vegetable. It grows big, with a white head and a green leaf tail." Wang Xiujuan gestured to Mrs. Ding for a long time. She originally wanted to ask someone else to ask. You can save yourself from going out.

"What? What are you talking about? I haven't heard of it? There are such big vegetables? I haven't heard of vegetables that have been growing for decades."

Wang Xiujuan was a little disappointed. Mrs. Ding hadn't heard of it after living in the village for so long. I guess other people in the village were similar.It seems that her son Ning Changrong can only go to find out.

On the other side, in Fang Chunmei's room.

Ren Cuiping looked enviously at Fang Chunmei's ruddy complexion.

"Your mother-in-law actually let you sit for a month?" Which family didn't give birth to a child, and at most give you a three-day rest before getting up to work?This is the case in her family. When she gave birth to her first son, she rested for three days. When she got up, she should go to the ground and cook.

Fang Chunmei hugged her son with a happy face, "My mother-in-law said that there is nothing to do after the autumn harvest. If a woman's confinement is not good, she will get sick later. Maybe it will drag down the younger generation. Now Dafeng is doing most of the things at home. , When I get better, I will make up for that."

Ren Cuiping really envied her, not only for having a good mother-in-law, but also for having a good sister-in-law.Although her sister-in-law looks a little careless.I heard that Ning Changgui coaxed her to go to her mother's house to get things to subsidize her family all day long.

Ren Cuiping's sisters-in-law would be fine if they didn't bother her, let alone help her with work.

……

Ning Changrong walked halfway along the official road before getting into the bullock cart. Many people in the cart were nearby villagers who were rushing to the county to buy things.

After arriving in the county, he still bought two vegetable buns from that stall, and when he arrived at the Shiquan Inn, he saw that the entrance was crowded with people.

Before the opening of the business, many people blocked the entrance.

But everyone knew that they were an inn, and they didn't make any noise when they got together in twos and threes.

Until I saw Ning Changrong appear.

"Ah, the storyteller is here!"

"Hurry up, hurry up! Open the door quickly, we have to go in and listen to the book!" Shopkeeper Lin had to open early after obtaining the permission of the residents upstairs.

Most of the guests staying upstairs were businessmen, and they didn't mind the noise, so they went downstairs to find a place to listen. Some people came here for business, and they were planning to leave today, but they wanted to listen to Ning Changrong's storytelling, so they stayed for an extra day.

Shopkeeper Lin hurriedly called the waiter to put tea and cakes on Ning Changrong's table, and changed a table. It looked like old wood with a gavel on it. Ning Changrong picked it up and touched it. Delicate, it is a good sandalwood.

Due to the addition of a group of listeners who did not order food for nothing yesterday, it affected the diners.

Before opening the talk, shopkeeper Lin made a statement in advance that due to the limited space in the inn, only guests who spend in the store are temporarily entertained.Others can listen outside the store as long as it does not affect their business.

Although there may be some suspicions of offending people, those guests who just listen and don't order are offended if offended!Could it be that they wronged the guests who paid for the meal?There are places where you just stand and listen.But they can't finish entertaining their own guests, how can they have time to stand for you?
Shopkeeper Lin's words are well-founded, why should they entertain you if you don't spend money?Putting it here still takes up space and affects other guests who spend money. Most people can understand that many people paid for it and ordered some dishes.

Unable to understand, he stood outside cursing and was reluctant to leave.

On the way here, Ning Changrong had already eaten two buns.Taking advantage of the gap between talking just now, I ate a few more pastries and drank a glass of water.

There was actually fruit on the table today, although it was just a few fresh dates and a pear.But this is ancient times, how can ordinary people afford any fruit?You have to save money to buy salt!
Many people in the inn ordered and sat down, they couldn't wait, and Ning Changrong didn't delay any longer.

The gavel slammed on the table, "The last book said that Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing were trying to avoid being chased by the Vulture Palace..."

Many people listened while eating, and even the back kitchen opened the door early for business, so the food was served a little slowly, no one urged them, and their minds were not on the food at all.

The Shiquan Inn's business is extremely hot, and the overall dining environment has improved a lot since the audience who didn't order food was not entertained.

The guests who listened to the beauty continued to give rewards.

More and more people came in from behind, and there were not enough seats, so the shopkeeper Lin discussed with the guests to share the table and give some free drinks.The guests don't mind either. Sitting together can not only get drinks but also discuss the plot.

However, some guests like to discuss with people they know and don't want to add an outsider suddenly.Shopkeeper Lin certainly wouldn't force it.I had to add a few benches and long tables around, but they were not for eating, they were specially set aside for people to sit and listen to books, and they had to order some tea and cakes when sitting here.
