Chapter 197
"Ye Zi, hold on, you can't relax, otherwise both you and the baby will be in danger. Let's work harder, we can see the baby's head. Quick, push hard, the baby will be born soon."
Li Manping saw that Brother Jin had taken away a bucket of water again, and quickly continued to add water and firewood, but she was also distracted by the situation in the delivery room.
"It's out, it's out, the head is out. Come on, Ye Zi, let's keep working hard. Listen to me, let's work harder, inhale, inhale, hold in your efforts..."
"Ah! It hurts, ah!"
Cries of pain were heard one after another. Song Xiaojin in the yard had tears streaming down his face and was about to lie on the ground.
Li Manping had already left the stove and was waiting in the yard with Uncle Song and Song Xiaojin. They had forgotten the cold, and the three of them were looking at the door eagerly.
No one spoke, they all listened quietly to what was going on inside, hoping that this torturous moment would end soon.
"Wow! Wow wow..."
Suddenly, a loud cry broke the silence, making several people breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
Song Xiaojin immediately lay down on the ground and kept mumbling, "I gave birth, I gave birth, I finally gave birth! Wow..."
A grown man still cries like a child!
Li Manping and Song Tianlin looked at each other and laughed or cried.
"Outside, get another bucket of water!"
The order for water came again from the delivery room, but Li Manping glanced at Song Xiaojin, who was lying in the snow and crying, then looked at herself, who was sitting on the ground with weak legs, and turned her eyes to Song Tianlin, who was the only one standing.
"Uncle Song, my legs are weak and I can't walk. Go get some hot water."
"it is good."
Song Tianlin didn't refuse. The two people on the ground obviously had no strength.
After two buckets of water were brought in, the call came to a halt. After a while, Aunt Chunya and the midwife walked out with smiles, followed by another woman, who was probably the daughter-in-law of one of the brothers.
"How about it?"
Song Tianlin came to Aunt Chunya and supported his wife who was losing strength.
"It's okay, I'm just scared. I didn't feel anything good about giving birth myself, but watching Ye Zi give birth scared me so much!"
Aunt Chunya waved her hand, pushed Song Tianlin away, and looked at the midwife with a bitter smile.
"Whatever this is, it's all like this. You'll get used to it after seeing it a few times!"
The midwife was a woman in her 60s or [-]s, with neatly combed silver-white hair, and she looked like a decent person.
"Auntie, is it a boy or a girl?"
Li Manping listened to what they said several times, but they didn't mention the gender of the child, so she quickly interrupted and asked.
"Hey, look at me, I've forgotten this."
Aunt Chun Ya slapped her forehead and said to Song Xiaojin who was sitting up: "Xiao Jin, Ye Zi has given birth to a son for you. He is a big fat boy, weighing almost seven and a half pounds. It's been hard work."
"Son? Son!"
Song Xiaojin was still in a daze, only repeating meaningless words and unable to react correctly at all.
Song Tianlin was still experienced. He took out the red seal that had been sealed long ago, handed it to the midwife with both hands, and politely asked her to sit in the hall and eat noodles.
Li Manping also came to help. She had just boiled the water and fried the sauerkraut. Now she only needed to cook the noodles.
Because there were no eggs, Li Manping cut a piece of bacon and pickles and fried them with soy sauce before serving them out.
After entering the main room with three full bowls of noodles, she saw Aunt Chunya putting the things wrapped in her hands into the ash basket. Li Manping looked at it curiously, what is this?
"You really don't want it, it's a great supplement for making soup!"
The midwife looked at the thing and asked Aunt Chunya.
"No, I asked, but I can't even eat it! It's better to bury it!"
"Tsk, tsk, what a waste of stuff!"
The midwife looked pityful, but said no more.
Everyone in the room was filled with confusion, except Li Manping, who couldn't help but keep staring at the thing.
When the midwife and the other aunt left, Li Manping was still in a daze.
"What are you looking at? That's the placenta! Stay away!"
Song Tianlin slapped her on the head angrily, not knowing where this girl got the courage and curiosity.
placenta!
Thinking of what the midwife had just said about the soup being a great tonic, Li Manping couldn't help but start to retching.
哕…
Li Manping ran out of the house and stood by the ditch in the corner, retching frantically. It took a while before she recovered.
"Have a drink."
Aunt Chunya brought her a bowl of water, and Li Manping took it and started gargling. Fortunately, she had almost digested what she had eaten in the morning, otherwise it would have been more nauseating and uncomfortable.
"Auntie, where is that thing?"
Li Manping looked at Aunt Chunya's hand suspiciously, fearing that she would suddenly conjure something.
She just saw that it was Aunt Chunya who took that thing away.
"It's been buried, don't worry!"
Knowing what Li Manping asked, Aunt Chunya gave her reassurance.
By the time a few people packed up and took Bao Xiong home, it was already past noon. The two boys who had disappeared for a long time had returned after playing wildly and were lighting a fire in the kitchen.
"Slowly, what do you have for lunch?"
Entering the kitchen, Aunt Chunya greeted the two boys, hugged Xiong Bao and asked Li Manping that she had eaten just now and there was no need to cook her meal at noon.
Of course Xiong Bao also ate it at Uncle Wang’s house!
"Auntie, I can't eat right now. Don't cook for me. Let Uncle Song and the others cook."
Li Manping is still thinking about that mess. She has no appetite and can't eat anything.
Even if she forced herself to eat it, she was afraid that she would throw it up.
You won’t starve to death even if you don’t eat one meal, so don’t force yourself, just leave it at that!
Seeing that she was still upset, Aunt Chunya stopped forcing her and simply cooked a pot of noodles after discussing with the two boys.
Without him, it is the fastest to make this thing.
After eating, Li Zhaocai came over and asked Li Manping what was wrong and why he didn't eat.
"It's okay. I just feel sick to my stomach. I'll feel better in the evening. Where did you lead the cart? Have you taken off the things on top of me?"
Li Manping was concerned about the gifts she brought to Uncle Song's family, fearing that they would lose them.
"Here he is, still in the oxcart. Uncle Song was not at home when we came over. We called several times but no one responded, so we tied the oxcart in the backyard and went to find other people to play with."
Li Zhao explained their whereabouts to Li Manping. They had been running back and forth in this village for several years. As city boys who knew how to play, they also had a few friends.
"Are you still on the bullock cart? Let's go. Come and help me carry my things."
Li Manping took the lead to walk to the backyard. The yards here have front and back yards. Generally, the front yard is only a little big, but the back yard is even more spacious.
Li Cheng saw that his brothers and sisters were going behind him, so he followed them. Then he was followed by a little tail, an even smaller Xiong Bao.
Two large frames were removed from the bullock cart. They were made of wattle from the mountains and could hold a lot of things.
"Here, you lift the big one, and I'll lift this one."
Li Manping assigned the task unceremoniously and gave the younger one to herself.
She is still an injured person and needs to be taken care of!
