Back to ancient times to open obstetrics

Chapter 1 Only this matter of life and death cannot be controlled by oneself (1)
It was just dawn in the east, and a ray of refreshing morning breeze blew on Liu Qiqiao's face.She just came out of the house, she was a little top-heavy, watching the red sun slowly rising not far away surrounded by mountains, she couldn't help loosening her muscles and taking a long, deep breath.

Behind her are a few newly renovated huts. The tenants of Niujiazhuang are not rich, and those who can live in such an exclusive small courtyard are considered good families.

There were a few sounds of children crying from inside the room. After a whole night of tossing, the daughter-in-law of Aunt Li's family finally gave birth to a big fat boy.This pregnancy can be regarded as very dangerous, the umbilical cord is around the neck for two weeks, the baby's head is big, according to the modern rules, it has been transected long ago,
Liu Qiqiao yawned a few more times, splashed water from the nearby well to wash her face, and raised her arms to wipe off the water beads on her cheeks.An old woman in her fifties came out from inside, and she brought a basket of eggs to Liu Qiqiao and said, "Qiqiao, my aunt's house doesn't have any good things, so this basket of eggs will be considered as your favorite." , When your sister-in-law is in good health, I will ask her to embroider some good satin for you, and I will add a dowry to you in the future."

Liu Qiqiao took two steps back, waved her hands and said, "Auntie, you are too far-fetched, I'm just helping, my sister-in-law is in good health, and she can still have the strength to give birth to such a white and fat baby." , I can't take this egg, save it for my sister-in-law to replenish milk during the confinement period, the baby will grow fast when the sister-in-law is healthy!"

In ancient rural families, there are many people who are parents at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and those who are grandmothers in their early 30s run around the streets.Aunt Li didn't have her first grandson until she was 50 years old, and she almost became a difficult childbirth household in Niujiazhuang.This time the daughter-in-law finally conceived a child, and the whole family was so nervous, they kept trying to get the baby, but the baby was in trouble, the child was too big, and it was difficult to give birth!
Seeing that Liu Qiqiao refused to take it, Aunt Li was also grateful. She had been saving the egg two months ago, and she was afraid that it would not be enough to pay off.She put down the basket, looked at the sky, and said, "It's already dawn, you have to toss all night, you wait, aunt will serve you a bowl of noodles."

At this moment, Liu Qiqiao was not only panicked from sleepiness, but also panicked from discomfort.She came to Guishui yesterday during the day, and she originally planned that the cat would be a pest at home for the next few days, but last night when she heard that her aunt's sister-in-law had a dystocia, she was picked up by her mother in the middle of the night.She feels awkward walking a step now, but there is nothing wrong with it in ancient times, the air is fresh, the food is surrounded, and the life is leisurely. Those are the good days that she couldn't find in her previous life with a lantern.But these few days of each month really cost her life.

Liu Qiqiao shook her hand and said, "Don't be busy, Auntie, it's only a few steps to go home, I'll go back and catch up on sleep."

Seeing Liu Qiqiao slipping away quickly, Aunt Li didn't force her to stay. She came to the gate of the fence with gratitude and watched her walk along the small mountain road to the entrance of the small bridge. Then she turned back to the house and saw her white and fat Fat grandson.

The people in Niujiazhuang are industrious, adhering to the traditional virtues of ancient Chinese labor and character, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.As soon as Liu Qiqiao crossed the small bridge, she saw a few young men rushing to the field with hoes on their shoulders. When she saw Liu Qiqiao came back from the outside, she greeted her, "Qiqiao, are you going to deliver the baby again?"

Liu Qiqiao was listless, and while yawning, she nodded to those few people and said, "No, you can choose the time for everything, but life and death are not up to you."

The burly men smiled honestly, Second Brother Wang glanced at Liu Qiqiao, and said a little embarrassedly: "Qiqiao, my mother-in-law is due to give birth next month, so don't be too busy then Qiqiao."
