Chapter 274: Production (I)
Hearing Qiu Niang say this, Yunzhu was a lot relieved, after all, this is ancient times, and it was dangerous to have a child, and if you are not prepared, it is easy to have serious problems.
The two were busy in the kitchen for more than an hour, and then the meal was ready, and everyone was beckoned to serve the food to the table together, and everyone sat down one after another.
During the meal, Yun Zhu couldn't help but ask Wang Sheng about Jiao Niang, and the answer he got was the same as what Qiu Niang told Yun Zhu.
"Don't worry, Jiao Niang is Wang Sheng's daughter-in-law, and she is pregnant with Wang Sheng's child in her belly, and people must have planned it a long time ago."
Seeing Yunzhu's completely relieved appearance, Qiu Niang smiled and spoke, Yunzhu nodded, and finally relieved.
Seeing Yunzhu's finally relieved look, everyone couldn't help laughing, and they also knew that she cared about Jiao Niang, so Jiao Niang and Wang Sheng were very grateful.
"Come on, Yunzhu, let's all toast you and Xiao Rui together."
Qiu Niang spoke, and everyone raised their wine glasses, "It's rare that you and your husband can only come back during the New Year, let's just have such a chance to get together once a year, and after the New Year, you and your husband and wife will go back to the capital, and next time you see you, you may have to wait until the New Year." ”
"In any case, although you are thousands of miles away from us, it is not easy for us to meet, but the affection of so many years will not dissipate because of this, come on, a toast to our affection."
After listening to Qiu Niang, Yunzhu and Shu Sirui also picked up their wine glasses and clinked glasses with everyone.
Jiao Niang is pregnant, so she can't drink, Wang Xu's daughter-in-law is still breastfeeding, so she can't drink either, the two of them held a glass of water and took a sip.
"Oops......" Before everyone's wine glasses were put down, Jiao Niang suddenly exclaimed, causing everyone to fall on Jiao Niang's body.
"What's wrong?" knew that Jiao Niang's due date was in the past few days, so when she exclaimed, Qiu Niang hurriedly asked.
"I ...... My stomach hurts, isn't it...... Is it going to give birth? ”
Hearing Jiao Niang say this, everyone stood up one after another, and Qiu Niang came to Jiao Niang's side and asked her how she felt.
Qiu Niang asked about Jiao Niang's situation, and everyone's attention converged on Qiu Niang, after all, there were more men present, and women except for Jiao Niang and Wang Xu's daughter-in-law, the rest of the people didn't know anything about having children.
Although Yunzhu is also a woman, she only knows a rough idea, and she still doesn't know what is going on.
"Wang Sheng, go find the mother-in-law who delivered the baby, your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, Yunzhu, you hurry up and help go to the kitchen to boil a big pot of hot water, the men are all out, Wang Xu's family, you give the child to Wang Xu, you come and give me a hand."
After the inquiry, Qiu Niang looked at the people in the house, arranging what they needed to do in an orderly manner.
In response, everyone did as Qiu Niang said, Yunzhu went to the kitchen, brushed the pot, and boiled a large pot of hot water.
Shu Sirui and Qiu Niang's family left the house, Wang Xu took the child from his daughter-in-law's arms, and also retreated.
"Qiu Niang, what do you need me to do now?" When she came to Jiao Niang's side, Wang Xu's daughter-in-law reached out to support Jiao Niang.
"You and I will help her sit on the chair first, and then help me lay the floor first."
After all, this is not a village, and it is not a kang that lives there, but a bed, and if you give birth to a child in a bed, it will be very inconvenient, so as early as before, Jiao Niang asked Wang Sheng to prepare things, so that when it is time to give birth, you can give birth on the ground.
Usually Qiu Niang always comes to Jiao Niang's house as a guest, so she knows this.
Answered, Wang Xu's daughter-in-law helped Qiu Niang to help Jiao Niang to the chair, Qiu Niang looked at Jiao Niang, and asked her about her situation again, so that Wang Xu's daughter-in-law helped her, and she took out the things prepared by Jiao Niang and his wife before, and then spread them on the ground.
After cleaning up the ground, Qiu Niang helped clean up the bed again, so that after Jiao Niang gave birth, she could move directly to the bed.
Qiu Niang cleaned up, Jiao Niang only felt a stomachache, Qiu Niang heard her gasping, quickly cleaned up the bed, and then beckoned Wang Xu's daughter-in-law, helped Jiao Niang, and lay on the pavement on the ground.
Although it was winter, it was prepared beforehand, so things were spread on the ground, and people did not feel cold when they lay on them.
"Jiao Niang, you take a deep breath, try not to shout, save your strength, wait for the midwife to come, don't be afraid."
Qiu Niang has given birth to children, so she has experience, and Wang Xu's daughter-in-law has also given birth, so she can help and know what to do at this time.
After listening to Qiu Niang, Jiao Niang nodded, she kept taking deep breaths, accumulating her physical strength.
Jiao Niang was very cooperative, Qiu Niang asked Wang Xu's daughter-in-law to watch in the house, and she prepared the things she needed first, so as not to be in a hurry when the midwife came.
After preparing the things, Qiu Niang went to look at Yunzhu again, the water was already boiling, and it was about to boil, Yunzhu planned to take some ginseng, and then boil some ginseng soup.
"Cheng, you are busy watching over here, I'll go and see if the midwife is here, Wang Xu's daughter-in-law is in the house now, don't worry."
After saying a word to Yunzhu, Qiu Niang left the kitchen and walked towards the door, Yunzhu took the ginseng she brought before, cut it into slices, and boiled it into ginseng soup.
When she came to the door, Qiu Niang looked towards the mouth of the alley, and kept muttering, "Why is it so slow?" ”
"Qiu Niang, I'm calling you in the house!" As she was muttering, her man's voice came from the courtyard, and Qiu Niang answered and turned around and returned to the courtyard.
"Let's go in and take a look, if this midwife can't come for a while, you can deliver the baby with Wang Xu's daughter-in-law."
Seeing Qiu Niang turn around and come back, Shopkeeper Cai looked at his daughter-in-law and asked.
"I see." responded, after all, her man is the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and she has given birth to a child, Qiu Niang still knows it.
Seeing Qiu Niang's response, Shopkeeper Cai nodded, and watched Qiu Niang re-enter the house.
"Yunzhu, bring the hot water in, it's going to be used in the past." When Qiu Niang entered the house, Shopkeeper Cai came to the kitchen and said to Yunzhu.
"I know, this ginseng soup will be boiled immediately, you help me watch it, I'll bring hot water in first."
Nodding, Yunzhu said to Cai's shopkeeper, then took a basin of hot water and entered the delivery room.
"Yunzhu, just put the hot water here, is the ginseng soup ready? Bring it in and give Jiao Niang some drink to replenish some physical strength. ”
Seeing Yunzhu coming in, Qiu Niang asked her to put down the hot water, and then asked her to bring in the ginseng soup.
In response, Yunzhu went out of the house and quickly brought back the freshly boiled ginseng soup.
Helping to cool down a little, Yunzhu came to Jiao Niang's side and asked Wang Xu's daughter-in-law to help Jiao Niang up.
At this time, Jiao Niang was already covered with sweat because of the pain.
"Cloud Bead...... A moment you ...... Get out, you didn't ...... Have had a baby, don't ...... Scares you. Wheezing and opening, Jiao Niang instructed Yunzhu.
"Hey, it's all this time, don't worry about me, save up your strength with peace of mind, and then give birth to the child safely."
Yunzhu didn't plan to go out, she knew that giving birth to a child was a dangerous thing, maybe the process seemed terrifying, but she had to go through it sooner or later.
Hearing Yunzhu say this, Jiao Niang didn't say anything anymore, and after drinking the ginseng soup, she was helped to lie down again, and continued to take deep breaths according to what Qiu Niang said.
"Why hasn't this midwife come yet?" Putting the empty bowl on the table, Yun Zhu said anxiously, although Qiu Niang and Wang Xu's daughter-in-law are both people who have given birth, they are not as experienced as midwives.
"You go and take a look, if it doesn't work, I can only go with Wang Xu's daughter-in-law, I knew that this midwife was so unreliable, I shouldn't have sent so many things in the first place!"
Qiu Niang frowned and muttered quietly, she comforted Jiao Niang while checking her condition.
"Jiao Niang, don't worry, with us here, you will definitely be able to leave the child smoothly, don't be nervous, don't be afraid, we are all here."
Yun Zhu walked out of the house and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, looking at it for a long time, but she didn't see Wang Sheng and the midwife, her brows furrowed, and the expression on her face was a little worried.
"Shopkeeper Cai, are there any other midwives in this town?" Turning his head to look at Cai's shopkeeper, Yunzhu asked.
"Other midwives? That's too far, when you pick it up, I'm afraid it's going to be night, if not, let Qiu Niang deliver with Wang Xu's daughter-in-law, I'm also a doctor, and they have all given birth, so there should be no problem. ”
Hearing what Shopkeeper Cai said, Yunzhu nodded, but he was still a little worried in his heart, after all, this is ancient, not modern, in case ......
Thinking of this, Yun Zhu hurriedly stopped his thoughts, Shopkeeper Cai was right, there are Qiu Niang and Wang Xu's daughter-in-law here, and Shopkeeper Cai's family has been practicing medicine for generations, so there will definitely be no problem.
"You go in, maybe there's something to help, we'll watch at the door."
Glancing towards the mouth of the alley, Shopkeeper Cai said to Yunzhu, Yunzhu nodded, turned around and walked towards the house.
"Wang Xu, you have a child, either go home first, if it's cold today, don't let the child catch a cold."
Waiting for Yunzhu to enter the house, Cai shopkeeper opened his mouth to Wang Xu, although Wang Xu did not stand in the yard, but in the hut, but after all, the atmosphere of giving birth to a child was relatively tense, and the hut was indeed not very warm.
"Cheng, tell me if there's anything." Looking at the child in his arms, Wang Xu responded and walked towards the courtyard with the child in his arms.
"Is there anything I need to do?" When Wang Xu left, Shu Sirui looked at Cai's shopkeeper and asked.
Hearing Shu Sirui ask himself, Shopkeeper Cai hesitated for a moment before he spoke.
"Well, you...... You go to the hut and stay, it's cold in the yard, and I'll call you when something happens, or...... Or you can go to the kitchen and watch some water, they will definitely need a lot of hot water......"
