A night of harmonious movement caused Gao Mingcheng and many beauties to fall into a deep sleep, so they did not know that a new life was born tonight.
He Xiuman launched the attack at three in the morning.
She didn't have a good rest all night because of selling the pigs the day before. After selling the pigs, the village finally became quieter, but He Xiuman didn't sleep well either.
Because her belly was too big in the third trimester, she couldn't sleep on her back and had to sleep on her side. However, if she stayed in the same position for a long time, her back and bones would hurt, and it was quite difficult to turn over, so it was difficult for her to sleep well.
At night, she began to have labor pains, but they were just labor pains and did not start.
Grandma Xi had experience and quickly boiled hot water and asked Gao Zhuang to help scrub He Xiuman's body and hair.
She said: "During confinement, you cannot take a shower or wash your hair, otherwise it will be bad for your health. In your case, it looks like you are about to give birth, so wash yourself quickly."
He Xiuman had no objection and allowed Gao Zhuang to help scrub.
Gao Zhuang was afraid that He Xiuman would get cold, so he burned a charcoal pot in the room. People were scrubbing beside the charcoal basin, not to mention it was quite warm.
He Xiuman stroked her towering belly with a heavy gaze. Suddenly, she asked: "Gao Zhuang, do you think you are pregnant with a daughter or a son?"
He Xiuman has asked this question several times, and Gao Zhuang has also answered it several times.
Before, Gao Zhuang always said that his sons and daughters were the same.
But at this time, Gao Zhuang looked up at He Xiuman, suddenly smiled sheepishly, and whispered, "Actually, I want a daughter."
"Huh?" He Xiuman frowned and looked at Gao Zhuang in confusion.
Everyone she knew wanted to have a son, but no one wanted to have a daughter.
Even though Gao Zhuang said before that sons and daughters are the same, He Xiuman still thinks that Gao Zhuang still wants to have a son.
But she didn't expect that Gao Zhuang would now tell her that he wanted a daughter!
This really shocked He Xiuman.
Gao Zhuang held He Xiuman's hand and said affectionately: "I want a daughter like you. Thinking about it makes me happy."
"Yes...really?" He Xiuman was stunned, then blushed.
Gao Zhuang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't ask this question anymore. He thought to himself, Brother Mingcheng is indeed smart!
He felt that He Xiuman had been worried about the gender of the fetus since she became pregnant. He and his grandmother noticed it, so they often said that boys and girls were the same, as long as they were healthy.
But these words seemed unable to enter He Xiuman's heart. Deep in her heart, she was still anxious about this.
He told Gao Mingcheng this, and Gao Mingcheng immediately gave him an idea, which was to say bluntly that he wanted a daughter.
In this way, if a daughter is born, He Xiuman will not be burdened with inexplicable pressure. If a son is born, He Xiuman will not be sad.
"Don't worry, as long as it's our child, I like it." Gao Zhuang assured him again.
He Xiuman stared into his eyes and saw sincerity in his eyes.
Her nose felt sore and she suddenly wanted to cry.
She had long known what Gao Zhuang and Xinai were like, and knew that they were not the kind of people who favored boys over girls. However, her sensitive mind during pregnancy, coupled with her mother's family's situation, always made it difficult for her to truly let go.
But no matter how anxious and expectant you are, after ten months of pregnancy, you will eventually give birth.
At three o'clock in the morning, He Xiuman suddenly felt a severe labor pain while half asleep and half awake. At the same time, he also felt that a warm current was about to flow out from under his body.
She knew that she was about to give birth, so she stretched out her hand to push Gao Zhuang up beside her and said, "Gao Zhuang, I'm about to give birth. Please carry me to the small bed."
There was a small bed in the bedroom where they slept.
This small bed was covered with straw and plant ash, with an old sheet on top, which was specially used for He Xiuman to give birth to her child.
When a woman gives birth, amniotic fluid and blood will gush out. After giving birth, the placenta needs to be expelled. These are dirty things, so a good quilt cannot be soiled.
He Xiuman's treatment is pretty good. When you meet poorer families, they don't even have a small bed for you to lie on. Just lie down on the ground!
Just spread a pile of straw on the ground and cover it with a torn linen bag, which is the production place.
According to modern medicine, this hygiene standard is not up to standard at all!
Gao Zhuang hurriedly carried He Xiuman to the crib, and then said, "I'm going to wake up grandma!"
With that said, he went to the next room to call Grandma Xin.
Because she had known that He Xiuman would give birth in the near future, Grandma Xixi slept soundly. She woke up when Gao Zhuang shouted.
"Xiuman is about to give birth? Zhuangzhuang, go and call Aunt Fu. She is good at delivering babies." Grandma Xi ordered.
Grandma Xi was old. Although she had experience in delivering babies, she decided to hire an experienced midwife from the village.
This third aunt is a midwife.
I had told Aunt Fu about this in advance. Now if she went over and shouted, she would be able to follow him to deliver the baby.
Gao Zhuang went out, and Grandma Xie was not idle either. She quickly put on her cotton coat, and then came to He Xiuman's room. She saw her lying on her side on the small bed, her whole body hurting like a curled up shrimp.
Grandma Xi was heartbroken, but she also knew that this was a test that women had to go through, so she said, "Xiuman, don't be afraid. Zhuangzhuang is going to call Aunt Fu. I'm going to boil hot water for you now. I’ll boil you some more brown sugar eggs to eat!”
"Okay." He Xiuman reluctantly responded, her brows furrowed because of the pain, and cold sweat dripping down her body.
Grandma Xi quickly came to the kitchen and started boiling water and boiling brown sugar eggs.
Although her movements were fast, she was not chaotic, because she knew that He Xiuman was a first-time mother, and even if everything went smoothly, she would not be able to give birth right away.
Gao Zhuang led Aunt Fu into the house with a flashlight.
Aunt Fu was married from the next village. Her mother was the local midwife. She also learned the art of midwifery and helped her before she even gave birth. After she gave birth to three sons, her reputation became so great that people in the village were willing to call her to deliver babies.
Fu Tongfu, plus the fact that all her deliveries were smooth and there were no dystocias, so Grandma Xi invited her in from the beginning.
When she came, the brown sugar eggs were being cooked.
Third Aunt Fu first checked He Xiuman and said, "The five fingers have been opened and the condition is not bad. You should eat something quickly while the baby is still alive."
He Xiuman responded, even though her stomach ached and she had no appetite, she forced herself to eat a bowl of brown sugar and eggs.
Just after eating, a burst of pain hit him. He Xiuman couldn't hold it back and cried out.
Third Aunt Fu said quickly: "You can't shout loudly, you have to save your energy to give birth! Xiuman, please bear with it!"
Grandma Xi also knew what was going on, so she also advised He Xiuman to endure it.
As a man, Gao Zhuang was not allowed to enter the delivery room. He could only wait outside the room. If there was hot water or scissors or something inside, he had to help prepare the things.
About an hour later, along with He Xiuman's unbearable cry, the child's clear cry rang out.
At 4:30 in the morning, Gao Zhuang and He Xiuman’s eldest daughter was born!
Because the birth went smoothly, Gao Zhuang did not notify Gao Mingcheng overnight, so by the time Gao Mingcheng found out, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
"She was born on New Year's Eve, which is the day when the family reunites for the New Year, so I plan to name her Yuanyuan, Gao Yuanyuan! Brother Mingcheng, do you think this name sounds good?" Gao Zhuang was as excited as a fool. , the smile on his face has never disappeared.
When Gao Mingcheng heard the name, his expression was stunned for a few seconds, and then he said: "What a name! She will definitely be a little beauty in the future!"
I would like to recommend two books to everyone. The final book "The Taoist Fights with the Sword at Night", which is about kissing your fingertips, is a masterpiece with an order price of more than 20,000 yuan! Unique Xianxia!
As well as his new book "The Rising Sun", the new seedlings are immature and need to be cultivated and watered. I hope you will support them! !
