Chapter 100 Childbirth
The days entered the winter moon, and the Li family entered the preparations for Jiang's childbirth period. Mrs. Li moved out the concubine lady who was begged from the Guanyin Temple, and she burned a stick of incense every day, and babbled to the concubine concubine , muttering words.

Li Mei'er didn't go out to play anymore, because she was afraid that her mother would give birth suddenly.

Before Li Yan went to the ethnology study every morning, he would talk to Jiang for a long time, telling her to send someone to report to the ethnology study as soon as there was any movement, for fear of not being able to catch up with the birth of her son.

The whole family was waiting anxiously, but Jiang's stomach just didn't move. Mrs. Li was always superstitious in feudalism, so she suggested to Li Yan, "How about I take the girl to worship at the Guanyin Temple?"

"Grandmother, don't worry, my mother will give birth in two days, so don't run around. What if my mother gives birth at home when I go to the temple with you, grandma?" Li Meier said disapprovingly. She remembered that her younger brother's birthday was on the fifteenth day of the winter month, but she didn't remember exactly when.

"Yes, don't be afraid of [-], just in case. If that's the case, there will be no one in the family." Li Yan also agreed with his daughter.

The whole family is waiting for Jiang to give birth. Li Qingqing's child is already a hundred days old. Because the child fell ill during the full moon, the full moon wine was not prepared, so they will do it together on the hundredth day. They have already sent someone over Invited everyone from the Li family to have a drink.

Mrs. Li has already thought about it, if she doesn't go, she will stay at home.In case the daughter-in-law is born, the family does not have a backbone.

"Your daughter-in-law started it at some point. Childbirth is a big deal, and someone must come and watch it. You men can't help you with this matter. I can just stay at home. Take the children to your house tomorrow. Elder sister’s house has a hundred-day wine, otherwise it’s not good if we don’t go alone.” Mrs. Li said to Li Yan.

Li Yan is also worried about his wife. As his wife's labor period is approaching, he is not in the mood to teach ethnology every day, let alone go out to drink.

Li Yan struggled and said, "Why don't we all go? Anyway, I went when I was in Saner. It's okay if I don't go for a hundred days. My sister knows that our family's situation is special, so I won't blame it."

Mrs. Li wanted to save face, so she said again: "Isn't your daughter-in-law not yet born? You can't leave her like this, so that people will know the joke."

Jiang also advised her husband, "Go ahead, I'm fine. I have my mother at home with me."

My old lady and wife said so, Li Yan had no choice but to agree.But Li Meier is the old god, thinking that none of them will be able to go, because her mother is about to give birth tomorrow.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night that day, Jiang showed signs of mobilizing.

The delivery room had been prepared long ago, and Mrs. Li was calm before the battle, so she first ordered Li Yan's book boy, "Scholarly, hurry to find Mrs. Liu Wen!" Over there, Li Yan had already helped Mrs. Jiang to the delivery room.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly asked Chuaner to boil the water, and Mrs. Li told Mrs. Qiu, "Hurry up and cook the eggs, and chicken soup, and simmer it quickly! Take out the old wild ginseng from my room, which is brought by my aunt." The one for me..."

The eggs were cooked quickly, Mrs. Li let Jiang eat two first.This labor is physical work, and it cannot be done without strength.

The charcoal pots in each house have also been moved to the delivery room, just waiting for Wen Po to come.

It was still dark at this moment, and when Chuan'er arrived at Liu Wen's mother-in-law's house, she had just gotten up, she didn't have time to wash her face, she just put on a cotton jacket in a hurry, and was pulled by Chuan'er.

Liu Wenpo has more than ten years of experience in delivering babies. Li Meier and Li Qingqing's children were all delivered by her own hands. Needless to say, she was skilled. After arriving, she washed her hands and asked Jiang how long the pain had been and how long it had been. once.

Jiang answered all of them.Then she checked Jiang's finger opening.

"How is it? When will the baby be born?" Mrs. Li asked in a hurry.

"Five fingers have been opened. Grandma is the second child. It should not be slow. If it is fast, it will be born in more than an hour." Liu Wenpo raised her head and replied to Li Laoniang.

Only then did Mrs. Li feel relieved a little.Although Jiang's stomach hurts tight, but because it is not the first time to give birth, she still lives steadily. She listened attentively to Liu Wenpo's instructions, told her to use force as hard as she asked, and rested as soon as she was told to rest. It took five or six times like this With little effort, the baby was born smoothly, and the whole process didn't take an hour.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Congratulations, Mrs. He Xi, you are a big fat boy." As soon as Liu Wen received the child, she immediately announced the good news.Then he skillfully cut the umbilical cord with boiled scissors, washed the baby in warm water, wrapped it in swaddling clothes, and sent it to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li can't smile anymore with her old face at the moment, and she won't let go when she hugs her grandson.Grandson!This is the grandson he has been looking forward to for several years!Finally saw you today.

Jiang Shi had just given birth and was still a little weak. Hearing that he was giving birth to a son, his heart finally settled down. God knows that he has been looking forward to his son for many years. In order not to worry her husband.

"Grandma, please drink a bowl of chicken soup first, with ginseng in it, it will replenish your vitality the most." Mrs. Lin has already brought the chicken soup at this moment, and she moved to Jiang's mouth and said.

Jiang nodded, and drank the chicken soup bit by bit with a spoon.

Mrs. Liu Wen tidied up everything, and Mrs. Jiang was so tired that she fell asleep.

Together with Mrs. Lin and Chuan'er, Mrs. Jiang was moved to another bedroom. This delivery room was very bloody, and it was not good for confinement here.

Li Yan, Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing were all waiting outside the house. When they heard the cry of the child, they wanted to go in, but they were guarded by Mrs. Lin. At this moment, Mrs. Jiang was transferred to the bedroom, and they were allowed to go in to see.

"Take it easy, Grandma just fell asleep." Granny Lin instructed in a low voice.

Several people nodded quickly, and only tiptoed to the bedside, seeing that Mrs. Jiang was sleeping soundly, they were relieved.

"Mommy, where's my brother?" Li Meier asked Granny Lin in a low voice.

"My wife is holding it. I'm in the next room, so I'm afraid of disturbing Grandma's rest." Mrs. Lin replied.

Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing immediately went to the next room to see the younger brother, while Li Yan stayed with his wife.

Mrs. Li was holding the newborn baby, and she was reluctant to let go. She was as happy as if she had won 100 taels of gold.

Li Mei'er went over to take a look, but said with some disgust: "Yellow, wrinkled, like a little monkey." It's not cute at all, even uglier than when Xiaoxiao was born.

"Nonsense, my grandson is handsome, he looks better than you!" Mrs. Li scolded dissatisfiedly because she was very protective of her grandson at the moment.

Li Meier curled her lips, deciding not to be as knowledgeable as Mrs. Li.When she was just born, she must have been prettier than her brother.Even when her brother grows up, he is not as good-looking as her.
