Zhang Shi was the first to panic, and said with a trembling voice:
"Mom, Yingzi. Yingzi is about to give birth!"
"Don't panic, boss, wife, help me." I'll go take a look."
"Okay, mother!"
Zhang Zhong's daughter-in-law is Xin. She immediately helped old Zhang and went to the floor where the fourth couple lived. Walked over.
Mrs. Liu was seen leaning in Zhang Shi's arms in a somewhat embarrassed state. The pants on her lower body and the mattress on the floor were already wet. It was obvious that her amniotic fluid had broken.
Mr. Zhang herself gave birth to five children, and her three daughters-in-law gave birth to seven children. Now that her daughter-in-law was about to give birth, she was able to stabilize herself. She knelt on the ground and touched her belly. , he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"This baby loves you. The fetal position is already in the right position. When the birth canal is opened, you can give birth."
After listening to my mother's words, everyone They were all relieved, especially Mr. Liu, whose expression was not that bad.
“My dear wife, go get a bowl of noodles with two poached eggs in it and let my fourth daughter-in-law eat it. It will take a while before you have the strength to eat.
Second daughter-in-law, boil the water in the water bag and pour it into a wooden basin for later use.
My third daughter-in-law, please find the mats we brought and spread them out with the birth sheets. They will be used as a delivery bed later.
Hui Niang, please find some clean cloth, boil it in boiling water, you will need it later, and then find a clean pair of trousers for Mrs. Liu.
Lianyi, you are so careful. You took a few boys to set up a place for your aunt to give birth.
Hongmei (eldest granddaughter), take good care of your younger sisters Hongtang and Huzi, and coax them to sleep first.
Shitou, you just stay here with your wife, you don’t have to do anything! "
Lao Zhang's orders came out of his mouth one by one, clearly and clearly, and everyone immediately started to move.
Song Dachuan moved under Lianyi's command. The four carts formed a smaller space. Then Ripple tied the sheets to the handles of the carts to separate a space. After the mats on the ground were laid, Song Dachuan held the hatchet in his left hand and the stick in his right hand. , responsible for keeping vigil around.
Over there, Xin had already made a bowl of noodles with two eggs, added a little salt and soaked dried vegetables, and dropped two drops of sesame oil. She gave it to Zhang Shi and asked him to feed Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu had already endured the first wave of labor pains. She knew that she would not have the strength to give birth if she didn’t eat enough, so she waited until the labor pains stopped. During the break, he immediately opened his mouth and quickly swallowed the noodles and eggs in the bowl. He even drank every drop of the noodle soup. After eating, he burped. Under the instructions of Lao Zhang, he endured the labor pain and leaned on Zhang Shi slowly walked back and forth on the ground
The countdown to Mrs. Liu's birth here was beginning, and Lao Zhangtou returned to the crooked neck tree with his three sons.
Lianyi was the first to greet him and said to Lao Zhangtou and his three uncles:
"Master, uncles, my aunt has activated it. Let me tell you, if you have If you smell blood, don't go there for now, don't scare the children."
When Old Zhangtou heard this, he immediately stopped, and Zhang Zhong and others also stopped. It was obvious that they had it. The smell of blood.
"Master, I'm going to get a basin of water, and you guys can give it a little scrubbing."
Ripple immediately said thoughtfully.
"Don't waste water, Lianyi, go and get two pickaxes, and we'll take care of that."
Although Old Zhangtou looked bad, he still held steady.
"Master, wait here."
Ripple turned around and ran back to the camp, carrying two pickaxes over,
"Lianyi, please find a place to put these things first, and we will talk about it later when we go back."
Four black cloth bags fell at Lianyi's feet. She looked at them and saw that they were the three uncles and the old man. Zhang turned his head from behind.
"Okay, Master! You three uncles, please be careful."
Lianyi also gave a few instructions, and the four of them nodded in agreement, and then took the pickaxe and left. When Lianyi easily carried the four cloth bags back, Mrs. Liu could already feel her lower abdomen falling, and she should be able to give birth.
"Mom, I think I can give birth."
Liu immediately leaned on Zhang Shi and said.
Lao Zhang had already washed his hands, went over and touched them, nodded, and said to his younger son:
"Shitou, help your wife to go to the curtain over there. Are you there?" Wait outside.”
“Okay, mother!”
Zhang Shi directly picked up his wife from the waist, and in a few steps arrived at the delivery room surrounded by a cart and sheets, and gently placed Mrs. Liu on the mat.
"The eldest daughter-in-law and I will go in. The second daughter-in-law, you boil the scissors in boiling water. The third daughter-in-law, you take the stones and prepare the baby clothes and blankets they have prepared. , I will use it later.”
“Yes, mother!”
A few people responded and started to act separately. After a while, Mrs. Liu’s call came from behind the curtain. Voice.
"Yingzi, you have to endure the pain. Screaming too loud also consumes your energy. Before the baby is born, you will have no energy!
Come on, bite this in your mouth, and when I tell you to exert force, push harder, using all your strength on your lower body. "
Lao Zhang stuffed a ball of cloth into Mrs. Liu's mouth and said.
Ms. Liu nodded with difficulty, knowing that her mother-in-law was doing it for her own good, so she tried her best to hold it back. Don’t scream, just “wow” when the pain is severe
“Brothers and sisters, don’t be afraid, we are all here! Your fetus is in the right position, so there is no big problem. If you listen to your mother, you will definitely give birth to a fat boy. ”
Xin was wiping Liu’s sweat and comforting her, which made Liu feel much better.
"Okay, Yingzi, breathe in! Press hard!"
Lao Zhang began to guide Liu to give birth.
Over there, Lao Zhangtou and his three sons dug a big pit, pushed the seven strong men who had killed each other into the pit, and then buried them, leaving the previous large and small earth slopes It got a little higher and turned into a big slope.
When they turned back, Lianyi had already brought hot water and cloth. The four of them scrubbed it before walking back to the Waibo Tree.
Liu's delivery went smoothly. It only took more than half an hour to give birth to the child. She only had time to see that she was giving birth to a son before she fell asleep from exhaustion.
Mrs. Zhang cut the umbilical cord and patted the baby's butt, which made the baby cry twice. Then, after being scrubbed with hot water, he put it into the blanket, lay down next to Mr. Liu and fell asleep. passed.
"Shitou, your wife is so proud that she gave you a baby with her first child."
Lao Zhang said with a smile, having a baby is always a good thing.
"This child is a blessing. His first name will be Zhang Fengjia. You can choose your own nickname."
Old Zhangtou also had a smile on his wrinkled face.
After the mother was settled, the family gathered together. Lianyi followed Lao Zhangtou's instructions and carried the four black cloth bags over.
"These were found from the people who ambushed us. They must have started internal strife. They killed their own people, which gave us an advantage."
Beside Lao Zhang's head He said while opening four cloth bags, three of which were grain, including white rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as brown rice and white flour. I don’t know how many they robbed before saving.
The last bag was the heaviest. It was filled with copper plates and broken silver, as well as some silver hairpins, gold bracelets and jade articles. It was worth a lot at first glance, and everyone took a breath.
Boys, see you tomorrow~
