Chapter 101 Midwifery

In the winter of 1983, the first snow after the beginning of winter fell in the sky, and a baby's crisp cry came from Daliang Mountain, and Wang Hailiang's other child was born.

Since this spring, Hailiang planted a seed into Yuzhu's belly, and Yuzhu's belly bulged like a blown ball, and after November, the woman's belly bulged to the limit, as if it was about to explode.

Hai Liangniang counted with her fingers all day long, counting the time when the child was born. It is ironclad that its daughter-in-law is pregnant with a grandson in her belly.

But Wang Qingxiang didn't think so, and felt that Yuzhu should be pregnant with a daughter.

Hai Liangniang asked: "Why, how do you know?" ”

Wang Qingxiang stroked his beard and smiled: "If you are pregnant with a son, Yuzhu's belly should be pointed, and if you are a girl, it should be round." Look at the daughter-in-law's belly, it is big and round, like a mountain, and it must be a girl. ”

Wang Qingxiang's words are very accurate, because he is the only old Chinese medicine doctor in Daliang Mountain, and in the five villages before and after Daliang Mountain, no matter which woman gives birth, most of them will ask him to deliver the baby.

In 20 years, hundreds of babies were born from his hands.

The connoisseur stretched out his hand, and he knew if there was one, and he didn't know if he didn't see it, but it was wonderful, with years of experience, he could see at a glance that Yuzhu was pregnant with a daughter.

Hai Liangniang was very disappointed, and scolded: "Nonsense, what I said is the same as if I was born, our Wang family ancestors have accumulated yin virtue, God will not look at us as the last, it must be a son." ”

Wang Qingxiang nodded and bet with his daughter-in-law: "Let's try it, if this child is a son, I will quit smoking and drinking, and I won't spend a penny from now on." ”

The two of them waited and waited, waited and waited, just like waiting for the dealer to mature, and finally, the day came.

Seeing that it has entered Layue, a heavy snow is about to dye Daliang Mountain white, and the road repair team in the mountain has also reached the time for vacation, and there is a trace of labor pain in Yuzhu's stomach.

When she woke up in the morning and went to the toilet, she found that the amniotic water had broken, and the woman howled and fell into the toilet.

Hai Liangniang heard her daughter-in-law's shout, and hurriedly rushed into the toilet and helped Yuzhu up.

The woman was startled: "Nier, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yuzhu was in unbearable pain and said, "I fell, and the sticky blood on my pants was clear." ”

Hai Liangniang immediately had a premonition that something was wrong, and gratefully called for the man to come over and help.

Wang Qingxiang and Hai Liangniang helped Yuzhu into the house with eight hands and feet, and helped them onto the earthen kang. He knew that his daughter-in-law was about to give birth, so he quickly heated the kang and boiled a large pot of boiling water by the way.

Yuzhu's mother and grandson Shangxiang also rushed to hear the news, she didn't feel flustered, but was overjoyed, and couldn't hold back the excitement of being a grandmother.

Sun Shangxiang is a well-known matchmaker, a well-known goddess, and a well-known midwife. The experience of delivering babies is extraordinarily rich.

Most of her midwifery skills were taught to her by Wang Qingxiang when she was young, because they were on good terms at that time.

Sun Shangxiang walked into her daughter's room, and Yuzhu howled vigorously: "Mother, it hurts, it hurts, I won't have children again in the future, it's terrible." ”

Sun Shangxiang was calm and calm, and comforted her daughter and said, "Nier, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is no hurdle that you can't get over, now you know that it's uncomfortable?" When you were comfortable with Hailiang, who did you tell again?

There is no free lunch in the world, there must be a reward for paying, there must be joy and pain, the pain now is the bitter fruit left by the original happiness, and after the child is born, when you see the first sight of the child, you will feel that the pain is also worth it. ”

Sun Shangxiang's mouth was unobstructed, making Yuzhu cry and laugh, and the two women were busy in the house, disinfecting the towels, and preparing the small mattress after the birth of the child, filling several hot water bottles, waiting for the child to be warmed after birth.

When Yuzhu gave birth, she encountered a difficult birth, and the woman was in agony, and even shouted and screamed, which scared the magpies in the trees and flew around, which could be heard on the street.

It is said that after the amniotic fluid breaks, the child should be born two or three hours old, and if it does not come out for ten hours, it may die due to lack of amniotic fluid.

Hai Liangniang and Sun Shangxiang waited for seven or eight hours, but they didn't see the child come out, they were anxious and frightened.

Seeing Yuzhu sweating profusely on the kang and rolling on the kang in pain, Sun Shangxiang was also a little in a hurry.

"Hailiang, I want to see Hailiang, mother, you can get Hailiang back, I'm worried that I will die, and I will never see Brother Hailiang again." Yuzhu's mind is Hailiang, and if Hailiang is by her side at this time, she can at least increase her courage.

But Hailiang went out of the mountain and has not returned. Sun Shangxiang and Hai Liangniang both felt bad.

Giving birth to a child is very dangerous, the child's birthday is the mother's bitter day, because of the underdevelopment of medical conditions, there are countless women who have died in childbirth in Daliangshan.

Wang Qingxiang sat on the doorstep and smoked, and was also anxious.

Although he is an old Chinese medicine doctor and has experience in midwifery, Yuzhu is his daughter-in-law, and his father-in-law helps his daughter-in-law deliver the baby.

Hai Liangniang shouted in the house: "Old thing, come here quickly, if you don't come again, Yuzhu will die." ”

Wang Qingxiang's old face was flushed outside, and he said, "I can't go in, I'm my father-in-law......"

Hai Liangniang was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "What time is it, you still care about your father-in-law's face?" Is your face important, or is the life of your grandchildren and daughter-in-law important? ”

Wang Qingxiang was still smoking outside, his mouth was smacking the cigarette holder, and the cigarette pot was squeaking. He convulsed, hesitated, hesitated, and was in a dilemma.

Sun Shangxiang was also in a hurry, rushed outside and grabbed his neck and collar, and wanted to drag Wang Qingxiang into the house, but Wang Qingxiang grabbed the door frame and didn't go in.

He said, "I will not go in if I die, but at most I will be outside to instruct you, and you can do it in the house." ”

Wang Qingxiang is such a person who wants to save face, so he said sentence by sentence outside, Hailiangniang and Sun Shangxiang are doing it step by step inside.

Wang Qingxiang said: "Ah, first remove the jade bead clothes, and then feed her the natural birth soup, every time the labor pain is the best moment for the child to be born, from the top down, little by little to drive the child out." ”

Hai Liangniang shouted inside: "Why hurry? Do you want to give one a try? ”

Wang Qingxiang said: "Use a rolling pin, roll a little bit, the same as rolling noodles, but you must be ...... lightly."

With Wang Qingxiang's continuous guidance, the child in Yuzhu's belly finally poked out his head little by little, and then down to the body, and finally came out of it, and Sun Shangxiang's exclamation finally came out of the room: "Born, born, it's a girl, I want to be a grandmother." ”

Sun Shangxiang slapped the child's back a few times, and the baby finally let out a sharp cry. Hearing the child's cry, Wang Qingxiang finally wiped his sweat outside the house.

Hai Liangniang also collapsed and sat on the edge of the kang.

It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, anyway, it's the seed of the old Wang family, and the mother and daughter can be safe.

Yuzhu was also sweating profusely, and with the relaxation of her body, the woman closed her eyes.

Sun Shangxiang helped the child cut the umbilical cord with sterilized scissors, then wrapped the umbilical cord tightly with a small rope and threw the child's afterbirth into the footbasin.

Only then did the granddaughter wash it with hot water, wrap the quilt tightly inside and out, and put a thermos on the top of the head, on both sides of the child and under the soles of the feet. She felt weak, as if she was seriously ill.

The child was finally born, and Yuzhu survived the first difficulty of being a mother.

Sun Shangxiang said: "Nier, sleep, it's a girl, the girl is good, she will be my mother's little padded jacket in the future." ”

When Yuzhu heard that it was a girl, the woman sobbed and cried, feeling sorry for Hailiang and her mother-in-law.

Hai Liangniang has worked hard to supplement her daughter-in-law's nutrition in the past few months, in order to hold a grandson, and suddenly give birth to a daughter, Yuzhu's heart is ashamed.

Hailiang came back in the evening, and after arriving at the construction site, he got the news of the production of jade beads.

The man didn't care about beating the dirt all over his body, and rushed into the house.

The first thing after entering the door was to hold Yuzhu in his arms, and the first sentence was: "Yuzhu, it doesn't hurt, it's uncomfortable." ”

Men's care makes women feel like a spring breeze.

Many men who enter the delivery room for the first time often care about whether the child is male or female, and then the adult. Wang Hailiang is different from others, and the first thing he cares about is Yuzhu.

Yuzhu sobbed and threw herself into Hailiang's arms: "Hailiang, I'm sorry for you, it's a girl, a girl." ”

Hailiang sneered and said, "What's wrong with the girl, I like the girl." ”

"You don't blame me for that? Didn't give you a son? ”

Hailiang raised his hand and scratched her nose: "Silly girl, it's not your business to have a boy or a girl, the key is the old man, whether male or female, you and the child are fine." ”

When Hailiang returned home, Yuzhu's heart was relieved, and the woman finally fell asleep sweetly.

After Yuzhu fell asleep, Hailiang paid attention to the child next to him, the child had a pair of big eyes, a round face, a small mouth and a cocked nose, and looked like Yuzhu, maybe he would be a big beauty in the future.

Looking at the child's small appearance, Wang Hailiang smiled sweetly and put his rough cheeks on the child's little face.

Being a dad for the first time is exciting and proud.

Although he is not ready to be a father, he feels that he is still a child. But the moment he came into contact with the child, his heart was intoxicated.

Wang Hailiang was very excited, and the next day he rushed up the mountain and told all the migrant workers that the construction site was closed in advance, leaving only two people to guard the construction site, and all the others went to his house to drink.

In order to celebrate the birth of the child, in order to celebrate the hard work of the road construction team this year, he held a feast, and killed a pig, and the banquet was lined up from the head of the village on the pimple slope to the end of the village.

Although he has been building roads for a year, Wang Hailiang's family is still quite wealthy.

After selling willow weaving, selling medicinal herbs, selling mountain fruits, and paying wages to the workers, the money given to him by those sellers was still rich, which was regarded as a kickback.

Wang Hailiang has a clear conscience about these kickbacks, and they are also his deserved compensation, and he will not take them for nothing.

He used some of the money to supplement his family, and some of it to make up for the lack of road construction.

For a while, the pimple slope was full of lights, and everyone was very happy and lively, and everyone was intoxicated with this kind of festivities.

The birth of Wang Hailiang's daughter angered a person in the village, and that person was Zhang Ergou's mother...... Aunt Big Bolt.

Zhang Ergou's mother found out that Wang Hailiang was the village chief again, repairing mountain roads, and selling mountain fruits, and set up a team and a transportation team, Yuzhu also gave birth to a child for him, and the woman's old lungs almost exploded.
