Yao Xiaoqing recalled, went to the side of the kang bed and looked at Dongxue and said, "Don't be nervous, inhale and exhale slowly, save your strength and wait for the baby to be used." ”
Dongxue nodded and followed her to learn.
After a while, probably because of the pain that had passed, Dongxue felt a little more comfortable.
Yao Xiaoqing saw that she was better, and went back to get the medical bag.
Ah Yu brought poached eggs for Dongxue to eat, and after a while, the labor pain flared up again.
Yao Xiaoqing saw that Dongxue was clutching the animal skin cushion tightly, biting a cork stick and sweating profusely.
I feel that they are really strong, like when Ah Su gave birth to a child, she gave birth to the child at home.
The bull asked her to go and see the child, and she learned that Asu had already given birth.
Eminem the Leopard shouted, "Winter Snow is hard, and the doll's head comes out." ”
"Yikes!" Dongxue screamed, feeling the child slip out, and the stomach was empty and uncomfortable.
"Born, born." Eminem cried out for joy, and a moment later the room was filled with the loud cry of a baby.
Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly stepped forward to help cut the child's umbilical cord, took out the medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the child's umbilical cord, and wrapped it in gauze.
"It's a little girl!" Eminem Leopard smiled and wrapped the child up and handed it to her.
"Red, crumpled." Yao Xiaoqing carefully took the child and put it next to Dongxue, "Ah Sen has a sister!" ”
Dongxue glanced at the wrinkled child weakly, pulled up the futon and covered her, touched her wrinkled face, and smiled softly: "It's much better than Asen's days at that time." ”
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "The days will only get better and better." ”
Dongxue replied weakly: "Hmm! ”
"Xiaoqing, you look at the winter snow, I'll go to the mountain to bury something."
As he spoke, Eminem went out with the placenta and the blood-soaked paper, which were to be buried under a large tree, and prayed to the mountain god to protect the child's growth.
Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said to Dong Xue: "I asked Ah Yu to bring the eggs over, how about she cook a few more for you?" ”
Dongxue shook her head, "I'm not hungry!" ”
Yao Xiaoqing saw her weak appearance, and said softly: "Then you have a good rest, I'm outside, call me if you have something." ”
Dongxue looked at her, "Xiaoqing, Ah Yu is here!" You're busy with your go. ”
"Hmm!" Yao Xiaoqing walked out of the room, instructed Ah Yu a few words, and walked towards the cafeteria.
As soon as Yun Amu saw Yao Xiaoqing, he asked, "Is Dong Xue born?" ”
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "I gave birth to a younger sister!" ”
Yun Amu also became happy after hearing this, "The big tree will be very happy when he comes back." ”
"Happy to be a father, can you not be happy!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "Eminem, you stew something for her to replenish her body." ”
She looked at Yun Amu's happy appearance, and felt that it was better to be here, without the patriarchal feudal ideas of later generations.
Yun Amle nodded, "They caught a pheasant in the trap this morning, and I will make up for her stewed chicken." ”
"You can do it." Yao Xiaoqing smiled and told Dashu Eminem the good news.
At lunchtime, everyone knew that there was another little girl in the tribe.
Everyone congratulated Eminem on the big tree, and she smiled from ear to ear.
Yaohu said to everyone: "When the spring planting is over, you will find the person you like to match." ”
A thin warrior wondered, "Chief, what if no one likes me?" ”
Tugen laughed, "Ugly, who do you fancy and go find her to confess!" ”
"That's it, hurry up and find her."
Ah Chou said with a serious face: "I haven't looked for it yet, I have to look for it these days." ”
The wolf smiled, "Do you want us to help you?" ”
Ah Chou flatly refused, "Don't, you're better looking than me, and she'll take a fancy to you later." ”
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst out laughing.
After lunch, Tugen said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, the remaining sugarcane field can be prepared in half an afternoon, shall I take Ah Hei and them back to dig a canal?" ”
Yao Xiaoqing, "The wooden shovel and the stone hoe are too slow. I told the wolf to take the men to the other side of the ditch and dig the ditch with the men. ”
"Draw twenty men out of there, and you and Adam will take them out of the ground, divide the chambers and open a ditch, and prepare to sow the corn seeds."
"Okay." The two answered.
Yao Xiaoqing said: "You took them all morning, what do you think of these people? ”
Ada, "The people I brought with me are quite willing to work, I heard them say that they used to hunt outside and never worked. ”
Tugen thought for a moment, "Most of them are still willing to work hard, and a few of them are very slow, I don't know if they can't see clearly or are lazy." ”
Yao Xiaoqing, "Remind them, observe for two more days and see what is going on." ”
"Okay." Tugen smiled, "Xiaoqing, I'm used to using hoes and shovels, and I don't think it's easy to use stone hoes and wooden shovels today." ”
"They won't feel that way. You can wait until you find out their character, and then we can rest assured that we can use iron tools for them. ”
"Got it," said Togan, "I'll watch them." ”
Yao Xiaoqing said: "Wolf, you and Dabo go to the bullpen to take the oxen out and plow the ground with a plow rake. ”
"Okay." Ada and the wolf should go down.
When Ada and the wolf came over with people leading the oxen and carrying the plow, they went to the clearing together.
Yao Xiaoqing took Ah Ni and about 20 men out of the side where the ditch was dug.
Ada and a few warriors ploughed the ground with plough rakes, and the men picked up the stones and rubble from the field and piled them on the ridges.
With the addition of wolves and a dozen warriors, the progress of the aqueduct is much faster.
Yao Xiaoqing measured the distance, and every other section, let them open grooves on both sides of the canal, so that the gate plate could be inserted to increase the depth of the water and facilitate the irrigation of the land on both banks.
Sprinkled with lime to leave a mark, Yao Xiaoqing took a few old uncles to the grove, and found that after a morning of washing, the spring was bigger, and there was a stream of spring water with a thick bowl mouth, gushing out.
A few people dredged the place where the water flowed, so that the water from coming out could spread around.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days later, Shan Emu and they had finished planting kudzu and yakava, and the wasteland in the south was almost leveled.
The fish and a few old men led the men to fence the field so that wild animals could run into the field and spoil the seeds.
Eminem sowed all the beans and radishes into the vegetable field.
Pumpkins, winter melons, mung beans, small red beans, and peas have all been sown, leaving only soybeans that have not been planted.
Radishes, rape, and peppers have sprouted tender green buds.
Yao Xiaoqing divided the staff into two teams, one team helped the collecting team of Leopard Eminem order beans, and the other team went to the wasteland to help open the box, dig drainage ditches, and sow corn seeds.
The fields are full of busy figures.
At dusk that day, the warriors who came back from hunting brought a dozen calves, a few roe deer, and a small deer, and returned with a full load of prey.
As they walked on the ridges they had left, they saw that more than half of the clearing to the north had been planted with food and fenced.
