Chapter 80: Birth

Li Qinghe only felt pain, and she was helped by Zhou's mother to lie down on the bed, "Don't be afraid, it's the way women give birth. Your mother and I both come here. If you feel pain, you can think about other things or swear. ."
As she said, she went to the cabinet and turned out the small clothes, swaddlings, and diapers and put them on the brazier to warm them up, "Are you hungry? When they come back, I will help you make food. What do you want to eat? "
Although Zhou Mu was worried, she could see that she was very excited and couldn't stop for a moment. She even poured hot water over to give her a drink.
Before long, there was a horse hissing outside, and Zhou Chengkang came back with his wife. On a cold day, he was sweating and kept urging her, "Aunty, can you hurry up?"
Wife is just like her name, very steady, "Don't worry. It's not that fast to have children."
He ran to the bed and took her hand, "Qinghe, how are you?"
From his appearance, he seemed to be more afraid and flustered than the one who gave birth to a child. Li Qinghe couldn't help laughing because of the pain, "It hurts."
Wien stepped forward, touched her belly, and drove Zhou Chengkang out, "Auntie, how is she? If you need anything, you must tell me, if anything is wrong, you must tell me..."
His voice was shut out of the door.
Wen Po smiled and said, "The young couple have a good relationship. You are blessed."
The last sentence refers to Zhou Mu.
Mother Zhou also laughed, "Yes, if Qinghe can give birth to a child successfully, I will be satisfied."
The two chatted at the bedside. Li Qinghe was so painful that her mind felt confused. Seeing them both being so leisurely, she should be normal. At the beginning, Mei and Zhou's mother had serious faces, let alone laugh. There is nothing extra to say.
Zhou Chengkang stood outside, thought about going out from behind, and ran to the house behind, "Min Rui, can you help me pick a doctor."
Min Rui popped her head out of the room, "What's wrong?"
"Qinghe is about to give birth?" Yu Yan's voice was full of excitement. You don't need to ask, you know it is. "Let me see."
She is neat, Min Rui hurriedly supported her, "Be careful."
Min Rui didn't have a carriage. Zhou Chengkang directly asked him to set up the one he had set at the door. Before leaving, he said again, "Let's go to Zhang's house and pick up my mother-in-law."
Before noon, the doctor and the Xu family arrived, and Li Fu rushed over when he heard the news.
Li Qinghe only felt pain, and the sweat on her forehead had never been done. In such a cold day, she didn't notice the cold at all. Zhou Mu and Xu Shi beside her kept comforting her. She watched the sky bright and dark outside. In the night, I occasionally heard someone talking outside, and the whole person was in a trance with pain.
Until late at night, Zhou Chengkang never sat down all day. He was either busy or just standing by the door, listening to the painful cry from time to time inside, and seeing the night outside getting darker, he couldn't help it. When you want to rush in.
Finally, there was a loud cry of the baby in the room, and at the same time the joyful voice of Wen Po and Zhou's came, "He was born."
Hearing the birth, Li Qinghe only felt sleepy after the pain, and tried to lift up and glance at the child, and fell asleep.
Zhou Chengkang who was standing outside heard these two words, relaxed slightly, and asked hurriedly, "How about Qinghe? Can I come in for a look?"
"Sleep." Mother Zhou's joyful voice came through the door, "It's a boy."
Zhou Chengkang really didn't care whether the child was a boy or a girl. Hearing that Li Qinghe was only asleep, he finally let go of his heart after so long and asked, "Would you like to eat, the soup is still hot."
Speaking of this, I have to mention the shelf made by Zhou Chengkang. It rained every day and felt bored at home, so I started to make cribs for my children. After the cribs were made, I felt that hot meals were inconvenient. I made a wooden shelf for the brazier myself, and I just put a pot on it, and it was filled with warm water, so I used it to wash. The soup that is simmered in the day after the pot is warm.
"Sleep, wake up and eat." Mother Zhou opened the door excitedly and carried her baby out. Zhou Chengkang blew past her and entered inside.
Mother Zhou was taken aback, and when she turned around, she saw him rushing to the bed and reaching out to touch his daughter-in-law’s face. She was touched a little. She always knew that the fourth couple was the most emotional of the children. This moment was true. Have a deep understanding.
Normal men are first fathers and their children are close to them, so they must look after their children first. He is better, first look at his wife.
You know, a woman who just gave birth to a child is full of embarrassment about how to tidy up, and it really doesn't look good.
When Xu saw it, the corners of her mouth slightly twitched. She remembered what her daughter had said, to find someone who loved her. It seemed that her daughter's eyes were much better than her. She did not enter the door, and reached out to hug the child in Zhou's mother's arms.
Li Fu wanted to step forward, but because the child was in the hands of the Xu family, it was not easy to move forward. Wife and the doctor were still there. Thinking of the doctor, he raised his voice, "Chengkang, let the doctor look at Qinghe. , If it’s okay, prepare some body-conditioning medicine by the way so as not to leave the root cause."
Seeing that she was really asleep, Zhou Chengkang gave her heart for half a year, and finally fell to the ground, and hurriedly invited the doctor in.
When Li Qinghe woke up, the sky was already bright outside. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Chengkang by the bed holding the baby, head little by little, already dozing off.
The two had never seen him since they knew each other, and couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths. With this action, they suddenly felt that their throats were very dry and couldn't help but cough. With a hoarse voice and a sore throat, she frowned slightly.
But with a light cough, Zhou Chengkang over there was already awakened, opened her eyes and saw her frown, and said hurriedly, "Qinghe, where are you uncomfortable?"
Li Qinghe's eyes fell on the teapot, he immediately understood, put the child at her feet, poured water for her, the warm tea inlet seemed to take away the pain in the throat and felt much better.
"Hungry?" Zhou Chengkang was a little worried, "Why don't you speak?"
Li Qinghe smiled again, "hungry."
He immediately turned around and went to the soup cup in the upper pot of the brazier, which he brought back from the county seat specially. He opened the lid in front of her, and the rich chicken soup smelled tangy.
Li Qinghe sat up, drank it by himself, and then saw him bring a bowl of black medicine from the outside, and whispered softly, "I asked the doctor to give it to you. Drinking it will be good for your body. It may be a little bitter."
Li Qinghe couldn't laugh or cry. When she woke up, she didn't take a bite of the meal. She drank a bowl of medicine first, but she still took his thoughts and took it. She really woke up hungry. Now she has two bowls of soup and she just feels better. Many, leaning on the pillows, looked at the swaddlings at their feet. The child’s face is about the size of her slap. At this time, she fell asleep with her eyes closed. Although she was still wrinkled, she looked good everywhere. I remembered that the child was held in his arms when she woke up and couldn’t help it. Smiled and asked, "How do you hold it? Isn't it warmer on the bed?"
Seeing her stretched out his hand, Zhou Chengkang hugged the child on her hand, "I'm afraid you will turn over again when you fall asleep."
Li Qinghe looked at the child in her arms, only feeling satisfied. In fact, she had dreamed about having a child in her previous life, but unfortunately she hadn't completed the marriage for two years, and she couldn't even talk about the child. Even if Zhou Chengkang was unwilling to have a baby at first, they were looking forward to him after he became pregnant. She bent over and touched his face, warm and smooth, and the smile on the corners of her lips was as gentle as water.
Seeing her with a smile at the corners of her eyebrows, Zhou Chengkang reached out and touched her forehead, "Don't hug too much, your arms will hurt later."
Li Qinghe gave birth to the baby only in the middle of the night. At this time, it was still dark outside. She hadn't slept for long. She was tired and short-spirited, and soon fell asleep again.
When they woke up again, they were awakened by the laughter of Xu's and Zhou's mother. The two men bent over and joked to the baby at the end of the bed.
Li Qinghe called out, "Mother..."
"Hey." The two said in unison, then they looked at each other, and both laughed. Zhou Mu asked with a smile, "Qinghe wakes up, are you hungry? Chengkang asked me to make meat porridge for you,"
In addition to eating, confinement seems to be the only thing to watch the children. It’s raining outside and it’s not convenient to entertain the guests. However, Zhou’s mother happily arranged with Xu’s family. This year, many people in the village grew barley with Li Qinghe. In the original disaster year, the price of food was high because of the sweet potatoes. After they were sold, they were no different from previous years. There were also families who ran to carry water for a month. Although the two of them are not familiar with the villagers, the villagers actually remember them well. Many people came to congratulate them, and some of them didn't know each other, and they also prepared gifts.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Wanwan also came to the door with clothes made for her children, but there were so many people that they didn't speak much.
Li Qinghe is indeed crowded here, not to mention that Yu Yan and the three sister-in-laws have been guarding her, as well as the other wives who came in, all came in to see the children, smiled and praised a few, water and sweet potatoes followed. , Most people thanked her.
These people are not familiar with her at ordinary times. It would be bad if they didn't give a thank-you gift if they came to express their gratitude specially, but no one knows how appropriate the thank-you gift is. At this time, there were a lot of people, and there were a lot of people who benefited from her.
In the afternoon, everyone dispersed, but Zhang Haiyao stayed till the end.
The Xu family has been living here recently, so Zhou Mu and Zhou Chengkang went outside to clean up, and Li Fu also helped out. In the past few days, he came every day, but it was not easy for him to come in, so he only looked at the children outside.
Li Qinghe on the bed is left in the room, and then there are the two of them. Zhang Haiyao looked outside and asked in a low voice, "Aunt Xu, when are you going to the county seat?"
A married woman wanted to leave with her natal family. Zhou's mother was still so far away. Of course she was dissatisfied. Xu lived here for two days. When she was free, she often heard Zhou's complaints. Of course, she also complained by the way. The original Xiaoding and the bride price also praised Li Qinghe's sensibility by the way, and secretly praised the Xu family.
Both are caring people, and they got along well in two days. When I heard Zhang Haiyao's question, Xu immediately knew what she meant, and said with a smile, "Wait for the full moon in Qinghe, it would be nice to be able to go to the county town to spend the New Year together this year. What do you ask this for?"
This was a questioning knowingly, but he didn't hear Zhou's mother complaining, and the Xu family had occasionally heard about Zhang Haiyao's wanting to leave with her family.
Looking at Li Qinghe who was leaning on the bed, Zhang Haiyao gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "I want to go too."
The author has something to say: See you tomorrow afternoon.
