In the afternoon, in Chen Youfu's office, I chatted about the current situation inside the rolling mill, and as Li Ping'an expected, the department with the greatest power in the rolling mill is Li Huaide's Revolutionary Committee.

It is estimated that in another month, Director Yang will be quickly taken down by Li Huaide with a thunderous momentum, and the power transfer within the rolling mill will be successfully completed.

Li Ping'an had no intention of getting involved in this political struggle, and his ideas coincided with Chen Youfu; although he was a subordinate of Chief Li, he only wanted to do his own thing, did not engage in political struggle, and was unwilling to get involved in the Revolutionary Committee.

Coming out of Chen Youfu's office, Li Ping'an did not rush back, but went to his office to show up first, no matter how he said that he was also Corey's second-in-command, it was a little inappropriate not to show up for so long.

Came to the procurement department, walked around in the department, chatted with Wu Yajun for a while, and waited until the bell rang for work, Li Ping'an rode a bicycle along the crowd of people who got off work and returned to the courtyard together.

After dinner in the evening, when Ding Qiunan was about to change his clothes and take a bath, Silly Zhu stumbled out of his house, shouting as he ran: "Doctor Ding, Doctor Ding, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, come and take a look."

Ding Qiunan, who had just taken off his shirt in the back room, listened to Silly Zhu's shout, hurriedly put on his clothes again, hurriedly came to the yard, and walked to Silly Zhu's house: "Brother Zhuzi, what is the situation with my sister-in-law now, is the amniotic water broken?" ”

Silly Zhu is a father for the first time, how do you know what amniotic fluid is, while following Ding Qiunan to the house, he said indiscriminately: "It should be broken, I see that her pants are wet"

When Ding Qiunan heard Silly Zhu's words, he knew that Silly Zhu didn't know anything, so he didn't ask questions anymore, and quickened his pace and walked towards Silly Zhu's house.

When she came to Silly Zhu's house, Xu Yanxia had already taken off her pants and was lying on the bed, directing the big girl standing next to her to boil hot water and prepare the tools for delivery.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing, giving birth to a child is a big deal for a woman, let's go to the hospital, it's dangerous to have a child at home" Ding Qiunan entered the house and saw this situation, he knew what was going on, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.

Xu Yanxia squeezed out a smile on her somewhat uncomfortable face, and waved her hand at Ding Qiunan: "It's not in the way, what are you doing when you go to the hospital to waste that money, the girls in our village are all born in the ground, my conditions at home are much better than theirs, besides, isn't there still a doctor like you?"

"Sister-in-law, let's go to the hospital, the conditions of the hospital are good, if you encounter danger in the hospital, you can be treated in time" Ding Qiunan checked Xu Yanxia's condition and persuaded her bitterly.

It is not surprising to have a child at home in this era, the medical conditions in rural areas are not developed, and there is no condition to go to the hospital to give birth, so when pregnant women give birth, they basically find a midwife, or find a few women who have given birth to a child to help.

Just now, Xu Yanxia said that it is not unusual for someone in their village to give birth to a child in the field, and many women who have given birth to several children do not look for their biological wives, so they directly deliver their own babies.

Not to mention the countryside, even many pregnant women in the city also give birth at home, and only those with good family conditions will go to the hospital to give birth.

Listening to the conversation between the two, the stupid pillar standing next to him was about to jump up, and a stride came to Xu Yanxia's side, took Xu Yanxia's hand and said: "Yanxia, it's not that our family has no money, why are you saving this money, let's listen to Dr. Ding's words and go to the hospital to give birth, right?" ”

"It's too late, the child is about to come out, if you go to the hospital now, it is very likely that you will be born on the gate road, Brother Zhuzi, you go out first, I will start delivering my sister-in-law" After Ding Qiunan finished the examination, he opened his mouth to pick up people

Silly Zhu heard Ding Qiunan say that he wanted to let himself out, and said with a reluctant face: "Doctor Ding, my daughter-in-law has a child, can't I watch it here?" ”

"No, you go out quickly, don't affect your sister-in-law's production here, by the way, let Ping'an bring the alcohol from my house when you go out" Ding Qiunan said to the stupid pillar with a cold face.

Xu Yanxia next to her also opened her mouth to persuade the stupid pillar to leave: "Zhuzi, you go out quickly, the girl has a child, it's not good for you to stay here"

When the stupid pillar wanted to say something, the big girl standing next to him had already begun to get started, pushed the stupid pillar to the door, and closed the door with her hand.

In the courtyard in the dead of night, the voice of the stupid pillar was undoubtedly like a bomb exploding on the calm water, and the neighbors in the courtyard came to the courtyard one after another to check the situation.

Seeing that the stupid pillar was driven out, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and said, "Zhuzi, how is your daughter-in-law now?" Is it going to give birth? ”

Silly Zhu nodded at Yi Zhonghai, answered Yi Zhonghai's question, turned his head to look at Li Ping'an, and said with an urgent expression: "Brother Ping'an, Dr. Ding said that you have alcohol at home, let you bring some alcohol."

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go back and get it right away" After finishing speaking, Li Ping'an ran back to the house and brought alcohol to Silly Zhu.

Soon, Xu Yanxia's shouting came from the house, and the stupid pillar who was anxiously spinning around outside, after hearing the voice of his daughter-in-law in the house, hurriedly walked to the door and cheered Xu Yanxia loudly into the house.

Most of the neighbors in the courtyard did not leave, and they all stood in the middle courtyard and chatted quietly, guessing that Xu Yanxia had a boy and a girl.

Li Ping'an opened a pack of cigarettes, and the neighbors in the courtyard scattered cigarettes one by one, and saw that the stupid pillar was still standing at the door listening to the movement inside, and stepped forward and dragged the stupid pillar over.

"Brother Zhuzi, don't worry, Qiu Nan is a doctor, and several aunts have gone in to help, you can relax, there will be no problems, come on, come on, smoke a cigarette" Li Ping'an said and stuffed a cigarette into the mouth of the stupid pillar.

Silly Zhu smiled at Li Ping'an reluctantly, walked irritably with a cigarette in his mouth, and looked inside the house from time to time.

"Brother Ping'an, why is there no movement in this house? It can't be raw, right? Xu Yanxia, who was still shouting just now, suddenly quieted down at this time, and Silly Zhu hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and came to Li Ping'an's side anxiously to inquire about the situation.

As for why Silly Zhu came to ask himself, Li Ping'an was a little inexplicable, he was not a doctor, and he had never given birth to a child, so he asked himself.

However, Li Ping'an still knew about this problem, so he opened his mouth to answer to the stupid pillar: "Giving birth to a child is a physical job, if you keep using your strength to shout, how can you have the strength to give birth to a child."

After listening to Li Ping'an's answer, knowing that there was no accident, Silly Zhu asked Li Ping'an again for a cigarette and smoked it.

At this time, Xu Damao, who had not come back for two days, came in from the outside, and when he saw so many people surrounding the middle courtyard, he couldn't help but be curious: "Hey, hey, why are you staying in the middle courtyard, what happened in the courtyard?" ”

Regarding Xu Damao's problem, the neighbor near the edge helped Xu Damao solve his confusion and told Xu Damao the news that the stupid daughter-in-law was giving birth.

Hearing that Xu Yanxia was giving birth now, Xu Damao's face suddenly darkened, and after scolding Lou Xiao'e in his heart for being a hen that didn't lay eggs, he pushed the bicycle and wanted to sneak back to the backyard.

The stupid pillar who was still in a hurry to turn in a circle, after seeing Xu Damao coming, a smile appeared on his face, and he was not in a hurry, so he hurriedly walked up to stop Xu Damao, smiled and pulled Xu Damao's arm to prevent him from leaving, and said happily: "Xu Damao, I have good news to tell you, see, your sister-in-law is giving birth in the house now, and when my son's full moon wine is on it, you must drink two glasses well."

Li Ping'an almost laughed when he heard what Silly Zhu said, good guy, the two of them really deserve to be lifelong rivals, Silly Zhu, who was still anxious just now, saw Xu Damao coming, and immediately changed his face and scolded, trying to show off that he wanted a son.

Silly Zhu's words are murderous and punishable, and on the surface, he looks like he wants to invite Xu Damao to drink his child's full moon wine, but in fact, he is showing off that his son is here, and by the way, he ridicules Xu Damao for not being able to give birth to a child.

After listening to Silly Zhu's words, Xu Damao was so angry in his heart, Xu Damao at this time really wanted to spit out Silly Zhu's face with a mouthful of old phlegm, and then slap him twice.

I want to be angry, but this is a big deal in giving birth, even if he is angry in his heart, he has to endure it at this time, and he can't conflict with the stupid pillar.

Xu Damao suppressed the anger in his heart, squeezed out a smirk on his face, and said: "Congratulations, I see that your daughter-in-law's belly is relatively round, don't you say the old saying, a boy is born with a sharp belly, and a girl is born with a round belly, and your daughter-in-law will definitely give birth to a girl for you later."

"It doesn't matter, boys and girls are the same in my case, boys and girls are my children, I am still going to have a few more with my daughter-in-law, and I will definitely be able to give birth to sons later" Silly Zhu was not angry at Xu Damao's words, but looked at Xu Damao with a smile and said.

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, the smirk on his face disappeared without a trace, and he didn't continue to argue with the stupid pillar, pushing the bicycle and wanting to leave.

The stupid pillar who had already shown off did not stop Xu Damao from leaving this time, but looked at Xu Damao's back and shouted with a smile: "Damao, when my son is full moon wine, you must drink a few more glasses."

Xu Damao, who was pushing the bicycle, paused, then stepped over the moon gate without looking back, and hurried to the backyard.

After seeing Xu Damao's figure, Silly Zhu hurriedly ran back to the door of his room, staring at the crack in the door, wanting to see the scene inside.

Seeing that he really couldn't see the situation inside, Silly Zhu came to Li Ping'an's side again, and asked Li Ping'an with a tangled face: "Brother Ping'an, is what Xu Damao just said true, do you say that my daughter-in-law is really a girl in her belly?" ”

"Who knows, the child only knows whether it is a man or a woman when he lands, a sour and hot girl, a boy with a sharp belly, and a girl with a round belly, these are all statements that have no scientific basis. Besides, didn't you just say that giving birth to boys and girls are the same" Li Ping'an knew Silly Zhu's thoughts in his heart, and just now he just wanted to be angry with Xu Damao before he said this, in fact, Silly Zhu wanted to have a son.

Li Ping'an can understand the idea of stupid pillars, people nowadays pay attention to having more sons and more blessings, and they are obsessed with having sons.

Silly Zhu scratched his hair embarrassedly, and said curtly: "Didn't I just want to be angry with Xu Damao to say that?"

"I think it's good to have a daughter, as the saying goes, a daughter is a father's close-fitting little padded jacket, as for the son, except for making you angry and spending your money, it is useless" Li Ping'an patted Silly Zhu's shoulder and said with a smile.

Just when the two of them were talking nonsense, Xu Yanxia screamed hoarsely in the house, and soon, the child's cry came out from inside.

After hearing the child's cry, Silly Zhu hurriedly ran to the door excitedly, wanting to push the door in directly, just put his hand on the door, or resisted the urge to see the child, happy like a fool, sitting on the steps of the door hehe smirked.

Li Ping'an was also relieved after hearing the child's cry, in Li Ping'an's view, giving birth to a child is a major matter of human life, giving birth to a child at home, how to think about it awkwardly, in case of dystocia, it is the end of one corpse and two lives, after all, the neighbors who have been together for so long, if they really died in front of themselves because of giving birth, then Li Ping'an's heart is not comfortable.

Soon, the door to the room was opened by an aunt from the inside, and several women who went in to help came out of it.

Silly Zhu saw the door of the house open, and the aunts came out of it, and quickly got up from the ground, and greeted him excitedly: "Aunt Yi, is it a boy or a girl?"

"Zhuzi, congratulations, Yanxia gave birth to a big fat boy for you, go in and take a look" Aunt Yi patted Silly Zhu's arm and congratulated with a smile.

Hearing that it was a boy, Silly Zhu laughed and quickly ran to the house to see the child.

As the people in the house came out, the people in the courtyard learned the result, discussed a few words with each other, and then dispersed in a hurry, and went back to their respective homes.

Now that I have just given birth, the house is in a mess, and I can't enter the house to say hello, so why are you still staying in the courtyard? Can't you continue to feed the mosquitoes!

After knowing the result, Li Ping'an also returned to his room, took a shower, and waited for Ding Qiunan to come back from Silly Zhu's house.

Coming out of the bathroom, it didn't take long for Ding Qiunan to walk back from Silly Zhu's house, pick up the Arctic Ocean soda on the table, open the bottle cap, DuangDuangDuang poured a few sips, drank a big sip of water, and Ding Qiunan came back to life.

"Oops, I was really tired of helping Yanxia's sister-in-law deliver the baby today, the house was hot and stuffy, and my clothes were soaked"

"Then you go and wash it, the water in the bucket is still hot, on this hot day, I have been busy in the house for more than an hour, and I really can't stand it" Li Ping'an touched Ding Qiunan's clothes and found that it was really soaked, so he hurriedly asked Ding Qiunan to take a bath.

Ding Qiunan hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, Yanxia's sister-in-law consumes a lot today, and she needs to supplement nutrition, and they don't have anything suitable for Yanxia's sister-in-law to eat, so I will take a can of malt milk essence to Yanxia's sister-in-law to replenish her body" After finishing speaking, Ding Qiunan took out malt milk essence from the cabinet and hurriedly ran out.
