At the end of the month, Zeng Ruixiang stayed at home for three days, and seeing that Shen's stomach was still not moving, he asked Mrs. Wang, the midwife of Wangjia Village, to come over and take a look, check the pulse, and said that there was still half a month to go.

He handed over a handful of money and asked Mrs. Wang to come again in half a month, and Mrs. Wang took it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, the five in your family are all brought by me. Half a month later, I will come over. ”

Zeng Ruixiang took Mrs. Wang to the old house to show Zhou, and left half a month later.

Half a month passed quickly, during which the glass was finally bought, and the shopkeeper Zhou also brought a master over to help install the window, Shen was grateful, and instructed Ziqing to catch two big fat chickens and give them away, "Shopkeeper Zhou, don't laugh, there are no good things in the countryside." He came out to see off the guest and said.

When they left, He and Shen touched the glass with their hands for a long time, saying that it was really bright, and it could be closed and opened at any time, which was much more convenient than pasting paper before, and the important thing was that they were not afraid of getting wet in the rain.

Ziqing smiled secretly and said, "Mother, this is more than fifty taels of silver in exchange, can it be bad?" ”

"Ah, no, more than fifty taels of silver, put it over, it's enough for us to live for ten years, this is too expensive, can we return it?" When Shen heard the fifty taels of silver, he was distressed, and Ziqing blamed himself, so it was better not to say it, Hengzhu is now in charge of his own accounts.

On the morning of September 15, Mrs. Wang came over and told Mrs. He to prepare the scissors, white cloth, plant ash and so on.

The next afternoon. Qiu Yu hurriedly came over to deliver the letter, saying that Zhou's began to have labor pains, and Zeng Ruiqing found a midwife. While she was preparing, the old man sent her over to take a look at the situation here, and when she saw that Shen was still walking around in the yard, she went back.

Who knows after dinner. It was already dark, and Qiu Yu and Ziping ran together. Ziping cried and said: "Auntie, my mother had a difficult birth, and she was so painful that she died, or not, Grandma said that the Granny Wang invited by your family is experienced, and my father asked me to come to Granny Wang to have a look, Auntie." Hurry up, please. ”

Shen was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Good boy, don't cry." Auntie, let her accompany you, don't be afraid. ”

After Shen finished speaking, he asked Mrs. Wang to follow Ziping and the others, and the He family was a little reluctant to let people go, but people's lives were at stake, and they couldn't let them go. After Mrs. Wang left, Shen kept circling around the house, wanting to send someone over to take a look. The family is old and young, and the only one who is not old is a pregnant woman. Ziqing saw that her mother was so anxious and frightened, so she kept pulling her grandmother to accompany her for a long time.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Shen suddenly began to have labor pains. And Mrs. Wang hasn't come back yet, He is a little anxious to run out of the door to look several times, told Ziqing to boil hot water, opened the door and stumbled to the old house to find someone, Ziqing boiled the hot water, Shen ordered Ziqing to spread thick grass ash under her, find some washed old sheets to cushion, Ziqing himself wiped the scissors with white wine several times, He has not come back yet.

Ziqing saw Shen's more and more painful moans, sweating profusely in pain, very worried, Ziqing wanted to go out to find someone, but he didn't dare to leave Shen's side, afraid that if something happened, it would be too late. Ziqing had to make a basin of hot water, and kept helping her mother wipe the sweat on her face, and when He arrived with a strange Wen Po, Ziqing asked the Wen Po to hurriedly wash her hands and enter the house, and after a while, she heard Wen Po exclaim, saying that the child's head had come out.

Ziqing heard the child's cry outside the door for less than two minutes, and her tears flowed involuntarily, fortunately, the child and the adult were safe, if it was a few minutes late, it was estimated that Ziqing would have to deliver her mother for her.

After a while, He took out a basin of blood and poured it out, Ziqing knew that her mother gave birth to a little sister, this midwife surnamed Liu, next door in Xiatang Village, Mrs. Liu cleaned up the inside, and then let Ziqing in, a strong smell of blood almost made Ziqing so disgusted that she wanted to vomit, Ziqing didn't dare to open the window, looked at her tired mother, the mother was asleep, and the newborn baby Ziqing couldn't see whether it looked good or not, her eyes were still closed, her skin was very white, and her hair was a little naturally curly.

He asked Mrs. Liu to go to the guest room to rest, and then went to the Westinghouse to see the two grandsons, but fortunately, they were not woken up by the toss. Ziqing found that the clothes on He's body were covered with mud, and hurriedly asked, "Grandma, where did you fall?" Does it matter? ”

"It's okay, don't shout loudly, let your mother hear that it's time to be in a hurry, it's not a big deal, I accidentally fell, didn't I come back well?" After that, I went to wash up by myself.

Ziqing was afraid after listening for a while, fortunately the moon is big and round tonight, otherwise I really don't know what will happen, it is said that they also know that today is the due date of the Shen family, even if Wang Pozi can't get out, how can he send another Wen Po over to prevent the Shen family from having a seizure in the middle of the night, and the heart can only be seen at the critical moment.

After the two of them packed up and went to bed, Ziqing had time to ask about the situation over there. It turned out that since Zhou's pregnancy, he has not dared to move around at will, and he can eat, so he is very fat, and it is more difficult to give birth, and it is difficult to catch up with the child, and it is even more difficult to come out. It was still Mrs. Wang who kneaded it for more than half an hour in the past, and the child showed his head, and it was a critical time when He passed, of course Zeng Ruiqing would not let anyone go, and He did not dare to wait for a long time, so he had to bring Mrs. Liu back in a hurry.

However, Ho was visibly angry. said that fortunately his daughter was born naturally, otherwise, I really don't know what to do? After speaking, He also clasped his hands together and recited: "Thank you Bodhisattva for your blessing." ”

Ziqing thinks that at this time, I am afraid that no one will let people go, human nature is selfish, and the big daddy's approach is understandable, but it can only be said that things are too unfortunate.

After breakfast the next day, He took a string of money and a basket of eggs to send away Mrs. Liu, not long after, Mrs. Wang also came, first asked about Shen's situation, and after learning that the mother and daughter were safe, she also recited "Amitopho, fortunately, otherwise, my wife would also be uneasy." ”

He asked about the situation over there, and learned that Zhou's birth was also a girl, and she only came down at three o'clock when she was ugly, and Ziqing's sister came out at the same time when she was ugly, and He was silent when he heard it. Fortunately, Zhou's body has not suffered any major damage, and it can still be regenerated.

He Shi was a little relieved when he heard this, and Mrs. Wang didn't stay long, she said it for two days, afraid that someone at home would still look for her, He knew that she was telling the truth, and didn't stay any longer, beat a basket of eggs, and grabbed the money to hire a car for her, and Mrs. Wang excused herself a few times before happily taking her things and leaving.

When Ziqing entered the house, she saw the two younger brothers lying in front of her mother's bed, staring at her little sister, and the younger brother frowned and said, "My sister is so small, so ugly, she can only sleep." ”

Ziqing hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Shhh, be quiet." He threw them out of the house and told them, "Mother is tired, so you need to rest." Go out and play on yourselves. ”

Zishou is not small, he can't be confined at home every day, he has to have his own friends, Ziqing often asks him to take Zixi out to play together, and he is not allowed to go to the pond. Zishou is still willing to go to the old house to play with his former neighbors, everyone knows each other, and Ziqing is also relieved that the children in the village are still too wild.
