farmer's wife

Chapter 115
In the quiet night, Xiao Lie yelled like thunder, and every room in the Xiao family was lit with candlelight.

All the people hurried out with their clothes on.

"Grandma Shi, Ah Yan is about to give birth, I'll go ask Mrs. Wen." Xiao Lie panicked, but his face was a little more serious than usual, "A Yang, go find Doctor Lin, hurry up! "

Dr. Lin is the old doctor who sits in the pharmacy nearest to Xiao's house. On weekdays, Fu Yan is always looking for him for pulse checks, and Xiao Lie specially said hello to him before.

"Master, don't worry, I'll invite Dr. Lin to come here." Shi Yang ran to the back door when he heard the order, wearing his belt while running.When he came out, he was in a hurry and he hadn't put on his clothes yet.

Granny Shi lowered her head and asked Shi Man to go to the kitchen to boil more hot water for later use, and at the same time comforted Xiao Lie: "Master, don't worry, women won't give birth so quickly, I'll go see Madam."

Xiao Lie nodded and wanted to go out, but Sun Changming grabbed him.

"Master?"

"What are you panicking about? Go put your shoes on."

Watched by Master's calm gaze, Xiao Lie lowered his head to look at his bare feet, then raised his hand to wipe his face.

Sun Changming: "There are so many people at home, so calm down."

Xiao Lie nodded, rushed back to the room, put on his shoes, and ran to find Mrs. Wen.

Xiao Jian was awakened by the movement at home, and she was leaning against Sun Changming's legs, looking worriedly at the east room.

"Uncle Changming..." Hearing Fu Yan's cry of pain, Xiao Jian gripped the corner of Sun Changming's clothes worriedly.

Seeing that the child couldn't sleep anymore, Sun Changming picked him up and sat in the main hall, guarding the house together.

"Don't be afraid."

"Sister-in-law is crying for pain. When will the baby come out?" Xiao Jian frowned.

"Come on, come on."

"Auntie said, mother..." This is the shadow that has always been in Xiao Jian's heart. At this moment, Fu Yan's cry of pain made him even more afraid.

Sun Changming held the child in his arms: "Your sister-in-law is very lucky and will be safe. Let's stay here and wait together."

Sun Changming secretly hated the gossip woman, but he beat her less in those days.

"My sister-in-law will be safe and well. Ah Jian still wants to take the imperial examination to bring my sister-in-law to Beijing." Xiao Jian nodded vigorously and kept whispering, as if the words would come true after a few more words.

After Fu Yan's initial labor pains, it eased down now.

Granny Shi helped her get dressed and got out of bed.

"Don't be afraid, ma'am, women's births are like this. The master and A Yang have already gone to ask Dr. Wen, let's go down to the ground and walk around a few times to help open the fingers faster."

Granny Shi enlightened Fu Yan with a relaxed tone, which made Fu Yan relax after experiencing the tension for the first time.

Fu Yan followed her words and circled around: "Grandma Shi, use everything we prepared earlier."

Fu Yan is not a medical student, and knows little about childbirth, and professional matters are left to professional people.

But she also knows that she should try to keep the environment as clean as possible to avoid infection after childbirth.

Therefore, she told Granny Shi to wash her hands with hot water and saponins when she was giving birth, and to sterilize scissors and other things with fire.Even bed sheets and cotton towels have been prepared in advance for replacement.

"Ma'am, don't worry, I'll prepare everything in a while."

There was another burst of pain, slightly stronger than before.Fu Yan held Granny Shi's hand enduring the pain, exhaling and inhaling continuously.

Granny Shi comforted: "Yes, ma'am, bear with it. This is your first child, it won't be so fast, let's gather our strength first."

Shi Man boiled a pot full of hot water, ran over and stood at the door and asked anxiously: "Grandma, the water is boiling, what do you want me to do next?"

"Go and wash your hands and face, change into clean clothes and come and walk slowly with Madam."

"Hey! I'm going right now!"

Granny Shi turned to Fu Yan again and said, "Ma'am, Aman will come to accompany you later. I'll go to the kitchen and make you a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and a bowl of brown sugar eggs. Eat more to replenish your strength before giving birth."

"Trouble Granny Shi."

Everyone accompanied her and arranged things properly, Fu Yan's heart slowly relaxed.

No matter how much you worry, it's useless to save your energy for the final production.

Without taking a breath, Xiao Lie rushed all the way to the door of Granny Li's house and knocked on the door.

"Who?" Granny Li's son came over and opened the door.

"I'm Xiao Lie, I'm here to invite Granny Li. My daughter-in-law is about to give birth!"

The Li family has seen a lot of this kind of door-to-door in the middle of the night.Hearing what he said, the son of the Li family didn't say anything, and immediately turned around and shouted to the room: "Mother! Xiao Lie's wife is about to give birth, and I'm here to invite you."

"coming!"

As soon as he yelled, the Li family jumped into action.

The son of the Li family went to pull the carriage out.

The daughter-in-law of the Li family packed up the things she needed for her mother-in-law, and she would follow her to help her mother-in-law.

After the carriage was harnessed, Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also came out, Li's son helped his mother and daughter-in-law into the carriage, and he and Xiao Lie sat on the board of the carriage and drove away.

Xiao Lie only opened his mouth to say a few words when he was showing him the way, and frowned the rest of the time with a serious expression on his face.

Seeing his expression, the son of the Li family comforted him: "Brother Xiao, don't worry, my mother has been delivering babies for decades, and she will definitely make sure the mother and child are safe."

Xiao Lie was not in the mood to exchange pleasantries right now, he just nodded.

Seeing his anxiety, the son of the Li family stopped talking and accelerated the speed of the carriage.

After a while, the carriage stopped at the back door of Xiao's house.

Xiao Lie led Granny Li and Li's daughter-in-law into the courtyard.

At this time, Shi Yang had received Dr. Lin to sit in the main hall, and Sun Changming was serving him.

Hearing the movement from the back door, Shi Yang ran out and shouted loudly: "Master! Doctor Lin has come."

"Okay, you go to the back door and bring in the Li family brothers and the carriage."

"Hey!"

It's almost Haishi (9:9 p.m.) at this moment, and the curfew time from the second watch to the fifth watch in Shizhou City (5:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] the next day) is prohibited.

The son of the Li family had to wait for his mother and daughter-in-law to come out, and then go home together after the curfew.

But when a woman gives birth to a child, it takes a day and a night to give birth, and some of them wait.

Shi Yang took the son of the Li family and parked the carriage in the stable, and led the people to the main hall to drink tea and wait.

Granny Li brought her daughter-in-law to the east room, and Granny Shi brought them hot water to wash their hands.

Granny Li asked while washing, "How many fingers have you opened?"

"It's almost two fingers, Madam is still walking."

Granny Li breathed a sigh of relief. After giving birth, she was afraid of women screaming and screaming in fear of pain. She had exhausted her strength earlier and was exhausted when she gave birth later.

Mrs. Xiao's family is still willing to walk around, she is strong and sensible.

Granny Li: "Do you have some strength to eat?"

Granny Shi: "I just ate a bowl of noodles. I also prepared eggs with brown sugar. My wife said I couldn't eat any more."

"That's okay, let's put it away and eat later." Mrs. Xiao is the first child, and the night is still growing.
