CHAPTER XXXI
Under Liu Qingxin's conditioning, the fetus finally corrected the fetal position before entering the pelvis.
Several mothers-in-law were also assigned their own work by Liu Qingxin, and the mother-in-law who was tight-lipped about the previous master's affairs was left in the backyard by Liu Qingxin to serve, only doing some brisk work of serving tea and pouring water and cleaning up the bedding.
The front and back yards, there are not many yards in total, how many things can be done?
It happened to be winter, when everything was withering, and there were not even many leaves to sweep in the yard!
Several mothers-in-law were afraid that if they were idle, Liu Qingxin would feel redundant, so they dismissed and returned home, so they showed their skills and did some things they were good at.
Good needlework, sewing diapers, making clothes, a few days of work, just for Liu Qingxin's belly, the unborn child, made a large stack of diapers and seven or eight clothes, energetic, clean up the wing, chop firewood, heat the kang for the nurse in advance, dry the bedding, brought three children before, Liu Qingxin wanted her husband to be a coachman, but also helped Liu Qingxin prepare all the possible confinement objects in advance, and stored them in the big box in the wing room for backup.
The "sensible" coachman, after thinking about it for a few days, also came to see Liu Qingxin and told her that he could come to do things for her, but he needed to wait a few days for the original shopkeeper to find a new driver, so as not to delay people's business.
Liu Qingxin was very satisfied with the coachman's way of life, and happily agreed to his words, and asked for money to pay him in advance, but in the face of Liu Qingxin's kindness, the coachman did not accept it, in his words, I have done a good job, Mrs. is talking to me about money, Mrs. is not a person who treats people badly, and I am not a shameless money fan, before the thing is done, I first quarrel for money.
There is always a time when the work is done, a group of mothers-in-law have been busy for more than ten days, and they have done all the chores that can be done in this yard, except for washing Liu Qingxin's clothes every three days, and every morning and evening, they need to sweep the yard a few times, and there is nothing else to do...... This is a few mothers-in-law who are in a hurry, wandering around the yard all day long, strolling around, seeing a little thing, they have to rush to do it, they don't want to watch others work, and they are idle.
Liu Qingxin saw such a scene in his eyes, and after thinking about it for a while, he figured out a way to make them feel at ease.
Early this morning, Liu Qingxin had breakfast, so he called several mothers-in-law to him, pointed to a few flower beds in the yard, and instructed them, "Take advantage of the winter, there is nothing to do, you guys help me dig up the flowers in this flower garden and throw them away, next spring, I want to plant medicinal herbs in it, and when the medicine shop opens, it can be used." ”
Hearing that Liu Qingxin arranged things for them to do, several mothers-in-law immediately became happy, and before she could say anything, they divided their errands and went to the firewood room in the side yard to get tools.
The winter in Jiangnan is not very cold, and several mothers-in-law are very busy, and in less than a day's work, they dug up all the flowers in several flower beds, picked up the gravel in the flower beds, and re-added the missing new soil.
Liu Qingxin originally thought that such a big "project" would be enough for a few mothers-in-law to work for three or five days, and when the time came, she should give birth, and with children, it would be difficult for them not to be busy...... I never thought that their efficiency was so high, and it was all done in less than a day!
"Let's just leave it there for now, and wait until next spring, when the fresh herbs are dug up, and then transplanted in."
Glancing at the sweaty mothers-in-law, Liu Qingxin suddenly felt that the ancient people were still doing things realistically, and they had a lot of strength, and they definitely didn't need eight points, unlike ...... She once lived in the future, thinking about stealing and playing tricks all day long, "It's not too early, you go and change your clothes, clean up, and then, it's time to have dinner, and the clothes that are dirty today's busy work, just keep them for tomorrow during the day, boil some hot water, don't break your hands, otherwise, when you get older, you will suffer." ”
The cook can not live at home, but the mother-in-law has to live at home, Liu Qingxin has specially explained to the kitchen, their meals, can not be fooled, a meal, at least meat and vegetarian, two dishes and one soup, rice and noodles are full.
Such a good meal has never been seen in this town.
The people regard food as the sky, so in the eyes of all the mothers-in-law in this courtyard, including the cook, Liu Qingxin, their master, is simply a living bodhisattva.
Liu Qingxin is a doctor, and some casual care is actually instinctive, but in the eyes of these mothers-in-law, it is not like this, Liu Qingxin is not the first master they serve, but like Liu Qingxin, a master who treats people kindly and compassionately is the first time they have met.
Liu Qingxin, who was originally touching her stomach and should have been born for four or five days, suddenly fell asleep in the middle of the night, and was woken up by pain, and the moistness under her body told her that the amniotic water was broken, and the child was about to come to the world.
"Sister-in-law Jiang! Sister-in-law Jiang! Go and help me call Wen Po! ”
Liu Qingxin, who was born as a doctor, has the calmness and calmness that ordinary women do not have in this era, she called for her mother-in-law who was arranged to serve in the backyard to help, and at the same time dragged a spare quilt from the side and put it on her back, "My amniotic water is broken!" ”
Sister-in-law Jiang, who was sleeping outside, heard Liu Qingxin shouting to herself, and hurriedly got up from the couch, hurriedly put on her robe, pushed the door into her room, and helped her light the candles, "Madam...... Oops, this is really a broken amniotic water! Madame insisted, and the slave and maid went to call Wen Po to come over! This has just broken the amniotic fluid, it's okay! Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! You hurry over, accompany Madame, listen to her instructions, I'll go and call Wen Po to come and go! ”
Sister-in-law Jiang comforted Liu Qingxin and told her not to panic, but she turned around quickly and trotted out of the door, because she was afraid that Liu Qingxin had never given birth to a child and broke her amniotic water, and she would be afraid of being nervous if she stayed alone in the house, so she called the mother-in-law who had given birth to three children by the way, and went into the backyard to wait.
Suddenly breaking the amniotic fluid in the middle of the night is an embarrassment that many pregnant women will encounter, especially in ancient times, when they were about to give birth, they hurriedly ran to call Wen Po to deliver the baby.
The stable woman who delivered the baby, Liu Qingxin was hired early in the morning, counting the days these days, Liu Qingxin, the generous owner, was about to give birth, so he always slept only in clothes, for fear that news would suddenly come over there, and he would be in a hurry.
Therefore, at this time, Sister-in-law Jiang ran to the door to call, and this stable woman, just a carp, jumped down from her couch, fished out a cloak casually, and trotted out of the door, and went straight to Liu Qingxin's residence with her.
