"There are only a few people in the family, and the old slave can still cook this little food. Young Master Cousin go take care of Young Master Song, the soup in this pot will be ready to eat after it is ready. ”

Hearing what Mama Zhang said, Lu Zhengan was not polite to her, after all, Song Huaishu is indeed old at the moment, and it is inconvenient to move, especially now that the sky has darkened, it is better to be careful.

By the time Lu Zhengan returned to the room, Song Huaishu had already put on his coat and was about to bend down to put on his shoes. Seeing this, Lu Zhengan walked a few steps to the bed and helped him lift his shoes.

Since Song Huaishu was a month old, his lower limbs began to swell, and his original shoes and socks were no longer able to get into his feet. From the time of three or four months, Song Lanshi helped him prepare cloth shoes of two sizes larger, but he did not expect to actually use them.

Song Huaishu looked down at the wide and large shoes on his feet, sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. "You say, don't wait for the baby to be born, my legs and feet won't always be like this, right?"

When Lu Zhengan heard Song Huaishu's words, he couldn't help but laugh. "How is this possible? At that time, not only will your legs and feet be gone, but your whole body will be thin. ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's words, Song Huaishu could not help but feel relieved. "Well, the last time I listened to the gossip of the aunts and sisters in the village, many of them not only changed their bodies after giving birth, but also their appearance. I was a little scared when I heard it, and I was always worried that I would be like what they said. ”

"Don't think about it, I hope you'll gain a little weight after giving birth." In the past, the thin ones were afraid that a gust of wind would blow you away, and it was better to be fat, and it could suppress the blessing. ”

Lu Zheng'an's words made Song Huaishu laugh, and seeing him like this, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and took Song Huaishu's hand and came to the courtyard.

At this time, Mama Zhang had already set up the small table for eating, and when she saw Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu coming out of the house, she hurriedly beckoned the two to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.

……

Because Dr. Zheng's words gave Lu Zhengan confidence, Lu Zheng'an was really not in a hurry about Song Huaishu's stomach not moving for a long time.

After eating and drinking enough every day, he took Song Huaishu up and down the mountain for a walk, and in a blink of an eye, it was not a few days before Song Huaishu was full-term.

And Song Lan, who was also counting the days, was also thinking about it every day, and ran to Hualong Mountain when he was free. Lu Zhengan was worried that she would work too hard every day, so he wanted to keep her here.

However, Song Lan's family was worried about Mrs. Ji, and on the other hand, they were also worried about Song Xiren, who was at home alone, so they didn't agree in the end.

Fortunately, Hualong Town is less than an hour's way away from Lu Zheng's home, and the weather is not rainy for a while, so it is convenient to come and go. Lu Zhengan saw that she was unwilling, so he did not force it.

Knowing that Song Huaishu's due date was after the beginning of autumn, Lu Zhengan entrusted his five acres of fertile land to Lu Tiezhuan and Lu Tieniu's brothers to plant. It's just that there has been little rain recently, and the corn leaves under the hillside are dry and want to roll up.

Households live entirely on the output of the field, and if the yield in the field is severely reduced, the whole family may go hungry. So, seeing the drought and lack of water in the fields, the villagers began to carry water to water the corn in the fields.

The saplings of the three hills next to Hualong Mountain have just been planted this year, although they have all survived. However, in such arid weather, once the water shortage is severe, it is very likely that the drought will cause death.

Lu Zheng'an couldn't help but feel a little worried every day when he looked at the small trees on the hill next to him, after all, the hillside land was still very different from ordinary fields. And the area is so large, if he were to water it alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to finish watering it even if he dies of exhaustion.

Perhaps the heavens sensed that the people's lives were not easy, and the day after they began to carry water to water the fields. As soon as Lu Zhengan got up, he found that the sky was gray and gloomy, and he didn't know when it was cloudy.

Looking at the gray sky, Lu Zheng couldn't help but rejoice. If this rain can fall, not only will his orchard be saved, but even the large fields of corn under the mountain will not have to worry.

Just as the Lu family was preparing breakfast and preparing to set the table for dinner, thunder rumbled in the sky, and with a gust of wind blowing, a heavy rain poured down in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the pouring rain, everyone forgot to eat, and stood at the door in a daze to watch the timely rain, and their hearts could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Ji has been living in Lu Zheng'an's house for a short time, and although she has never farmed, she also knows that the rain was scarce a while ago, which was extremely unfavorable to the crops in the field. Now that it rains, the farmers at the bottom of the mountain no longer have to worry.

Although the pouring rain made it impossible for everyone to go out, they were indeed extremely happy in their hearts. A few people set up their chairs under the eaves at the entrance, drank tea and ate snacks, listened to the sound of the eaves of the rainy roof, and discussed what was the best thing to eat on a rainy day.

However, a few people discussed and discussed, and they did not say what flowers they were. Seeing that it was about to come to an end, Lu Zhengan did not listen to the discussion between Mrs. Ji and Song Huaishu, but directly rolled up his trouser legs, held an umbrella and went to the back yard to pick up a few eggplants and a handful of beans.

Washing the mud off his feet under the eaves, Lu Zhengan held an umbrella and looked at Mrs. Ji and Song Huaishu helplessly and said, "I can see that you two have not been able to discuss what to eat at the end of the discussion, and you are simply not hungry." I don't care what you want to eat, I'm in charge at noon today, and I'll eat eggplant noodle soup. ”

After that, Lu Zhengan walked up the steps, closed the umbrella, and then turned to Mama Zhang and said, "You can rest for a day, and I'll make lunch today." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Ji patted Song Huaishu's arm and said with a smile: "See, this kid Zheng'an is angry." However, this noodle soup is not wrong to eat, it is slimy, and it is just the same as the appetite of those of us who are old. ”

"The old lady is really cheap and well-behaved, can the young master know that you like to eat this noodle soup? Okay, the old slave doesn't listen to you showing off, the old slave goes to the kitchen to help the young master burn the fire. With that, Mama Zhang stood up from the stool with her knees propped up and walked towards the stove house in the rain.

Old Madam Ji squinted her eyes and nodded her fingers at Mama Zhang's back, and chatted with Song Huaishu beside her for a while. It didn't take long for the aroma of fried tomato to waft from the direction of the stove house.

Song Huaishu didn't feel hungry at first, but after smelling this aroma, he began to feel empty and greedy, and even the baby in his belly began to make noise.

At first, Song Huaishu didn't take the baby in his belly seriously, after all, he would do it every time he went to dinner. It wasn't until later that Lu Zhengan cooked and Song Huaishu ate a bowl that although the baby stopped making a fuss, he began to throb from time to time.

Because there was an oolong who had seen red before, Song Huaishu was afraid that everyone would be worried about it again, so he didn't dare to tell everyone. Fortunately, this pain was not strong, and Song Huaishu endured it and passed without taking it to heart.

It wasn't until Song Huaishu woke up from his sleep and reached out to touch his slightly stiff belly that he realized that this time the child might really be giving birth......

Song Huaishu endured the severe pain in his stomach and struggled to turn over and sit up from the bed. And when he moved, Lu Zheng'an, who had never been asleep, immediately opened his eyes.

"What's wrong with getting up, is it to drink water, or do you want to go to the toilet?"

Hearing this, Lu Zheng'an wanted to shake his head, but thinking that Lu Zheng'an couldn't see his movements clearly in the dark, Song Huaishu took a hard breath and said to Lu Zheng'an: "Zheng'an, you get up and call Mother Qin." My stomach hurts so badly, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth. ”

When Lu Zhengan heard this, he dared to delay. I hurriedly got up and touched the edge of the table to light the candle, and before I even had time to put on my shoes, I opened the door and ran out of the door.

After a while, Qin's mother and the others came to the back room in their cloaks. Leaned over and touched Song Huaishu's belly, and asked a few more words about Song Huaishu's specific situation, and then determined that this time it was really going to be launched.

Since Qin's mother and the two arrived at the Lu family, they have already understood Song Huaishu's physical condition. Now that Song Huaishu is really starting to start, he hurriedly asked Lu Zhengan to go to the stove house to boil water and scald the scissors with boiling water, ready to use them when he was ready to deliver the baby.

Naturally, the movements in the house could not be concealed from the ears of Mrs. Ji and Mama Zhang, and when the two of them walked over, they heard Mother Qin instructing Lu Zheng'an.

Seeing this, Mama Zhang helped Mrs. Ji to sit down on a chair in the hall, and then came to the door of the inner room and said to Lu Zhengan, who was pale: "Young Master Cousin is guarding here, and the old slave should go and boil water." Wait, if you still need to find something, the young master is here, and it is easy to find it. ”

Where has Lu Zhengan experienced this kind of thing, after hearing that Song Huaishu was really going to give birth, he was already a little bit of a master of the six gods.

When he heard Mama Zhang say to boil water, Lu Zhengan nodded in a panic. Then, when I didn't know what to do, I only felt a pain in my back, and when I looked back, I saw Mrs. Ji putting her crutches on the ground.

"Mother Qin, they're here, what are you panicking about?"

After speaking, Mrs. Ji stood up from the chair with a cane, stroked the place where she had just been pumped by herself, and whispered to Lu Zhengan: "Now is the most critical time for Huaishu, if you are in a mess, won't Huaishu be even more panicked?" ”

Seeing that Lu Zheng'an's expression gradually calmed down, Old Madam Ji breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I have been coming to your house for so long, just waiting for a day. Child, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely protect Huaishu Father and son. ”

Hearing Mrs. Ji's words, Lu Zheng'an's throat was a little choked, and he nodded vigorously and thanked Mrs. Ji.

By the time the two finished talking, Song Huaishu returned to normal after the labor pain. Seeing this, Old Madam Ji hurriedly patted Lu Zheng'an on the shoulder and said softly: "Go ahead, calm Huaishu's emotions and let him not be afraid." ”

Hearing this, Lu Zheng'an responded, then raised his feet and stepped into the back room, looking at Song Huaishu on the bed with a painful and pale face, his eyes full of distress.

"How? Does it still hurt now? Lu Zhengan squatted on the side of the bed and stretched out his hand to help Song Huaishu wipe off the sweat from the pain in the corner of his forehead, and lowered his head and pecked him on the forehead.

Song Huaishu stretched out his hand to hold Lu Zhengan's hand, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "It hurt for a while just now, but it won't hurt anymore after this while." Don't worry, I'm fine. ”

Knowing that Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu had a very strong relationship, Fu's mother stood aside and comforted: "Young Master Song is in good health, and he will definitely be able to give birth to Lin'er safely." However, having a baby, especially the first child, is not so fast. At the moment, when there is no frequent stomach pain, it is still necessary to let him rest more and conserve his strength. ”

As soon as Lu Zhengan heard Fu's mother say this, he didn't wait for Song Huaishu's reaction, and directly reached out to cover his eyes. "Did you hear what Fu's mother said, you should quickly sleep a little longer while it is not painful, and when the baby comes out, you can also have the strength to beat his buttocks."

When Song Huaishu heard Lu Zhengan's words, he couldn't help but laugh, put his hand on the back of Lu Zhengan's hand, and nodded gently.

After tossing for a while, Song Huaishu was already sleepy, and after a while, he fell asleep with his eyes closed. Lu Zheng'an and the two stable women left the back room lightly, looking at the gray-haired old lady Ji in the hall, and their hearts were full of gratitude.

If it weren't for Mrs. Ji's crutch just now, I really don't know what kind of panic I would have been.

Looking at Mrs. Ji's reddish eyes, Lu Zhengan stepped forward and whispered, "The two mothers said that it is still early for Huai Shusheng, so you should go and rest for a while." ”

Old Madam Ji was also taken aback, and it took her to relax after sitting in the hall for so long. Knowing that it was really useless for her to stay here, Mrs. Ji nodded and stood up from her chair.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the house and rest. Whenever Huaishu has any situation, be sure to come and call me. ”

After seeing Mrs. Ji return to the room, Lu Zhengan stood in the hall, looking at Song Huaishu's unstable sleeping face in the back room, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Mother Qin, Mother Fu, in the current situation of Huaishu, when will the child be born?"

"Gong Song's uterus has just opened two fingers, and it is estimated that he may not be able to give birth at dawn. However, giving birth to a child is extremely physically exhausting, and later the young master can prepare more food for Young Master Song, and let him eat more to replenish his physical strength while he can still eat something. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan nodded and looked at the time that had just passed.

In the kitchen, Mama Zhang had already boiled the water and was carefully scalding the scissors used in the delivery with boiling water. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mama Zhang raised her head, and when she saw that it was Lu Zheng'an, she asked, "Young Master Song, is you asleep now?" ”

"Well, I've slept." Lu Zhengan stood in front of the stove, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Mama Zhang: "Mama, I want to go down the mountain, can you please help me take care of Huaishu for a while?" ”

As soon as she heard that Lu Zheng'an was going up and down the mountain at this juncture, Mama Zhang immediately raised her head and looked at him.

"What is Young Master Cousin doing when he goes down the mountain at this time?"

Lu Zhengan looked at the scissors in the wooden basin, was silent for a moment, and then said: "I want to go to the pharmacy and ask Dr. Zheng to come over, in case Huaishu ...... and there is a doctor guarding by him, I can feel a little more at ease." It has not been easy for me to walk with Huai Shu to the present, and I will never allow any accidents to happen to him. ”

Knowing that Lu Zheng's location in Song Huaishu's heart was very important, and that this place was not far from Hualong Town, Mama Zhang nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, Young Master Song, the old slave there will help you guard it."

After getting Mama Zhang's words, Lu Zhengan was relieved, turned around and opened the courtyard gate, and took advantage of the night to run all the way down the mountain.

Because it had just rained and the roads on the mountain roads were muddy, Lu Zhengan fell a few times when he walked all the way to the town. When he knocked on the door of the Rejuvenation Hall, the first time the young man guarding the shop saw him, he thought he had seen a ghost.

It wasn't until Lu Zhengan reported his home that the young man recognized that Lu Zhengan had a great friendship with Dr. Zheng, and immediately wanted to go to the back hall to greet Dr. Zheng over.

When Dr. Zheng came out of the back hall in disheveled clothes and saw Lu Zheng'an in a mess, he thought that Song Huaishu had had some accident, and his heart couldn't help but sink suddenly. "But your brother's situation is not good?"

Hearing this, Lu Zheng'an immediately retorted: "Huaishu is in a good situation, but now he has started to launch it." I don't have a score in my heart, so it's like bothering you to come with me. ”

As soon as he heard that Song Huaishu was fine, Dr. Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief. I knew that Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu had a very good relationship, and he also wanted to know about Song Huaishu's situation.

So, Dr. Zheng nodded and agreed without thinking, picked up his medicine box and followed Lu Zheng'an out.

However, when the two of them were about to leave him, Lu Zhengan suddenly stopped again. Under Dr. Zheng's puzzled gaze, Lu Zhengan came to the young man, took out five large coins from his sleeve pocket and put them in his hand. At the same time, he instructed the young man: "After dawn, when the little brother is tired of going to the Song family in Mao'eryan Hutong to deliver a message, he will say that Lu Zheng'an has asked the two elders to come over and help him." ”

The young man looked at Lu Zhengan in a daze, and after repeating it under the other party's serious expression, Lu Zhengan took Dr. Zheng to Hualong Mountain with confidence.

Chapter 87

When Lu Zheng'an returned home with Dr. Zheng, Song Huaishu, who was suffering from a new round of labor pains, curled up on the bed and shivered incessantly.

Xu heard the footsteps of Lu Zheng'an coming back, and Song Huaishu raised his eyes to see Lu Zheng'an who was anxiously running towards him, and his eyes instantly turned red.

When Lu Zhengan walked to the side of the bed and squatted at the head of Song Huaishu's bed, Song Huaishu helped Lu Zhengan wipe the mud off his face.

"What are you doing here? How do you make yourself look like this? ”

The sharp pain in his abdomen made Song Huaishu couldn't help frowning after saying this, and his right hand, which helped Lu Zhengan wipe the mud, subconsciously clenched into a fist, and then curled himself up into a ball.

Because he was afraid that Lu Zhengan would be worried, Song Huaishu gritted his teeth and didn't dare to make any sound. Even so, the trembling of his whole body and the sweat that kept flowing down his forehead already explained the pain he was suffering at this time.

"Huaishu, don't put up with it." Lu Zhengan looked at Song Huaishu, who was in agony, and couldn't care about the mud on his body. got up and hugged the person in his arms, caressing his cheek in an attempt to relieve Song Huaishu's pain.

After the labor pain was relieved, Song Huaishu leaned on Lu Zheng'an's arms and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at Lu Zheng'an, who looked anxious, Song Huaishu smiled slightly: "Mother Qin helped touch the child's fetal position, and said that everything is normal, but it may have to wait a little longer." ”

At this time, Lu Zhengan looked at Song Huaishu's pale cheeks, and his fingers were trembling slightly. I wanted to help Song Huaishu wipe the sweat off his forehead, but when he saw that his hands were all dry mud, he hurriedly leaned down and wiped him clean with the placket on his chest.

Seeing that Lu Zhengan hadn't spoken all the time, Song Huaishu raised his hand to hold his hand. In a dissatisfied tone, he asked again: "Why didn't you answer what I asked you just now, where have you been?" ”

"I'm going to find Dr. Zheng in the town, I can feel more at ease with him." After that, Lu Zhengan looked at Song Huaishu's expression between his eyebrows, and then leaned down and gently put Song Huaishu back on the bed.

"Isn't it better now? Qin's mother said that they should eat more to replenish their physical strength, what do you want to eat? Shall I do it for you? ”

Song Huaishu, who had eased up, lay on his side on the bed, looking at Lu Zhengan with a smile and shook his head slightly. "I don't want to eat anything, you ran around town and rested."

After speaking, Secretary Song Huai remembered what Fu's mother had told him earlier, and sat up from the bed with his arms propped up.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan hurriedly held his shoulders and asked, "What are you doing when you get up?" ”
