Several times in dreams

Chapter 70 The Birth of a Daughter
The weather is getting hotter, and Meng Wanying is about to give birth.

The wheat was turning yellow, and the harvest was about to start. Chen Wenjun was very busy, and he was also thinking about Wanying's side, and his heart was on fire.

The two shops are managed by Wen Jing, and Wanying can rest assured. The child Wen Jing has matured a lot in the past two years, and his work has become more stable. He will be nineteen in the new year, and Meng Wanying is going to propose to her mother-in-law to help him get married. up.

After Wen Jing finished his official business, he ran to Zheng Xizi's house when he had time, helping her carry water and firewood, and even dry clothes and quilts. Slowly, Lao Zheng also began to accept this rough-footed son-in-law.

It's just that this matter is still hidden from the Jiang family, and it is estimated that they will not agree to this marriage for a while.

When the new grain entered the warehouse, Meng Wanying did not move. The midwife said that it would only be a few days. With previous production experience, Meng Wanying was quite sure.

Within two days, the grain that was going to support the government of Lushan District was assembled, and two people from each household were required to escort the grain into the mountain.

Wen Jing volunteered to take the two brothers to do this, but Wen Jun was not at ease. After all, the transportation of grain was very important, and there should be no mistakes, not to mention the recent friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It is better not to have any accidents on the road.

She set off before dawn and came back at night. Although Meng Wanying would give birth at any time, it was okay to think about it in just one day. There was still her mother-in-law Jiang at home, so she told Wen Jun to be careful and go back early.

Wen Jun took Wen Jing, hired two tenant farmers, pulled two carts of grain, and set off early before dawn together with a dozen other large grain producers.

In the weather at the end of June, when the sun came out, it was like a fire. Meng Wanying's body was heavy, and she felt so hot that she couldn't breathe.

When I was still in my mother's house in the early years, ice was stored in the cellar early in the winter. In this kind of weather, I took it out and put it in the house, which can be much cooler.

There were no such conditions in her husband's house, so Meng Wanying asked Changsheng to fetch two barrels of well water, which was used to cool down the town, and put them in the house, which could somewhat help cool down the temperature.

Jiang brought a bowl of honey sweet-scented osmanthus and sour plum soup, poured it over with ice-cold well water, and Meng Wanying felt much better after drinking the bowl.

"Wanying, do you feel anything? This is your second child, and it will be born sooner than your first child. If you feel it, you should tell me earlier, or you will give birth before the midwife arrives."

Jiang is someone who has experienced it, and has experience in giving birth to several children.

"Will it be so fast? When I was in the provincial capital that year, it took me a long time to give birth." Meng Wanying said puzzled.

"The first child should be slower, and the second child will be born very smoothly as long as the fetal position is correct."

"The doctor checked yesterday and said it was fine. Everything is normal. Don't worry, mother-in-law."

"That's good. I'll go find the midwife in a while and tell her to stay at home and not go anywhere!"

After speaking, Jiang took the bowl and went out.

Meng Wanying calmed down a little, picked up the apron that she hadn't finished embroidering yesterday, and started embroidering slowly.

It's almost noon, Wen Jun and the others should have entered the mountain by now.

After noon, the food was unloaded, and Captain Zhao and the others definitely wanted to keep the food, and they would soon go down the mountain with an empty cart after eating.

It is estimated that I will be home at dusk, when my mother-in-law comes back, I will ask her to make some noodles. I will eat cold noodles tonight. I will go to the garden to pick some cucumbers, cut them into thin shreds and mix them with garlic. It is best to eat with cold noodles. But that's all.

Thinking of this, Meng Wanying put down her bellyband and walked all the way to the backyard garden with one hand on her waist.

Wenxiu is working hard on a piece of wood in the open space in the backyard. He is going to make a small bed for his upcoming nephew.

Wenxiu drew the blueprint early on and calculated the length. He figured that the cot should not be too high. If his nephew grew up, even if he fell off the bed, it wouldn't hurt.

Secondly, it must be polished smoothly, not too rough, and there must be no wood thorns. My nephew's small hands are delicate, so don't stick them until they are worn out.

Seeing his seriousness, Meng Wanying was very moved, "Wenxiu, it's too hot, let's take a break and do it later."

Chen Wenxiu didn't respond in the slightest. Firstly, her ears were bad, and secondly, she was too absorbed in doing things, so she didn't hear at all.

Meng Wanying shook her head and smiled, and continued to walk into the garden.

After picking a few cucumbers, Meng Wanying found that a few persimmons were also ripe, they were red and red, and she was appetizing just looking at them.

The long cowpea also has a lot of knots, and it is getting old, so I quickly picked a handful, fried it with garlic, and rolled it into an egg pancake to eat.

After picking a few things, they put them all into the basket, which was not heavy at all. Meng Wanying put the basket on the stove in the kitchen, and washed a persimmon casually.

Sitting in the main room to cool off while eating, I was sweating in just a short while.

Before they finished eating, Meng Wanying thought again, it must be too hot when Wenjun Wenjing came back, so she hurriedly asked Changsheng to go to the street to pick up a watermelon and put it in the well water to cool off when they came back.

Thinking of this, Wanying stood up and went to find Changsheng.

As soon as she took two steps, Meng Wanying felt a stream of hot water flow down her legs.

No, the water broke!
Meng Wanying hurried back and sat down, but Jiang Shi hadn't come back yet, so she could only call Wenlan loudly.

Chen Wenlan was in a daze in the room, when she heard Meng Wanying's urgent cry, could she be about to give birth?

After a few steps, she rushed to the courtyard, and Wen Lan hurried over when she heard Meng Wanying shouting in the main room, "Sister-in-law! What's wrong? Is it a stomachache?"

"Wenlan, my water broke, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth!"

"Huh? Where's your mother?"

"Grandma went to the midwife's house just now, and she should be back by now, so help me to the bed quickly!"

"Okay! Okay! Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I'm going out to look for her right now. You don't know mother yet. Once you go out, you will chatter endlessly. You won't come back until noon, and you don't even know what time it is!"

Wenlan gets angry when she mentions the Jiang family who is not counting in her heart, and after she arranges Wanying, she is ready to go out to the midwife's house to look for Jiang family.

Before leaving the yard, Jiang brought the midwife back.

"My mother, you are back! My sister-in-law is about to give birth! I am so anxious."

Wen Lan complained loudly!

"Hurry up! Your Aunt Liu has gone out, and I waited at her house for a while, so she followed me as soon as she came back."

"Niece, hurry up and boil a few pots of boiling water! Then scald those pots and towels a few times, they will be used soon."

"Hey!" Wen Lan hurried into the kitchen to boil water.

Jiang and Mrs. Liu went into the room and saw that Meng Wanying was crying in pain. She asked, Wen Jun coming back soon?
Mrs. Liu chuckled, "Young Mistress, even if your man comes back at this juncture, he won't be able to help you."

"That's right, Wanying, don't be afraid, your mother-in-law is here, your Aunt Liu is very experienced, she has delivered dozens of children, and she has never missed a hand, so don't worry!"

Jiang also repeatedly comforted her.

Meng Wanying was in pain and fear, she felt a little relieved after listening to Jiang Shi's words, she collected her mind, followed the previous experience, cooperated with Mrs. Liu's instructions, kept inhaling and exerting force, hoping to give birth to the child quickly.

"I saw the child's head!" Mrs. Liu said loudly.

Meng Wanying regained her spirits, and hurriedly continued to work hard, but there was no progress.

"Hiss..." Mrs. Liu took a breath, "The child is a little big."

Jiang was startled, "What should I do then?" Based on her experience, it felt a little dangerous.

"The most important thing right now, young mistress, you have to hold your breath. Don't be afraid of the pain, just give birth to the baby in one go. If you are afraid of the pain and don't dare to push hard, the longer you delay, the adults and children will be in danger."

"No! I must keep this child! I can't lose her again!"

Meng Wanying closed her eyes tightly, clenched her fists with both hands, held her breath, and exhausted all her strength, only to feel a tearing pain in her lower body, then a burst of relief, and she broke out in a profuse sweat.

"gave birth!"

"It's a girl!"
