The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 9 Production

After dinner, the Li family drank red bean syrup in the courtyard under the moonlight and breeze, chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms.

To say that the ancient people really didn’t have any nightlife, and Chang’an still implemented a curfew system at this time. Only three days before and after the Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival) would the curfew be lifted, and the people in the city were allowed to go to the streets for entertainment.

In Li Sanniang's memory, the whole city is very lively every year during the Lantern Festival, with crowds of people, not exaggerating.

However, since the few years when Li Sanniang was about to reach Ji and the few years after she married, she never participated in such a grand event.

Thinking about next year's Shangyuan Festival, little Luzhu will be three years old, and then he can take Luzhu'er with the Li family to see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

After coaxing Lu Zhuer to sleep in the house, Li Sanniang got up and took out ten taels of broken silver from the dark shelf beside the bed, and walked lightly from the small gate in the courtyard to the courtyard of the four little ones. In the study of the four little ones, Li Dalang opened the door and came out.

"Why did my aunt come here?"

"I'm worried, come and see you. It's so late, why are you still lighting the lamp?"

"Auntie, we are thinking about whether we can write a big article today. What Aunt said is simple. We have to go to practice after two days off, and we have to go to collect herbs. There is homework in the academy every day. There might be more to come. The second brother said, it would be good if we could write something today." Li Silang pouted and complained to Li Sanniang.

"Let's put the big characters aside first, take off your clothes, and let aunt see if there is any injury on your body?"

"Auntie, we are all grown-ups, how can we show our bodies in front of Auntie like we did when we were children. It's so embarrassing. I, Aye, came to see me just now. The brothers are all fine, Auntie can rest assured."

Hearing what Li Sanniang said, Li Dalang blushed and said.

"That's fine, then you just know what's in your mind."

Speaking of which, Li Sanniang took out a purse, looked at the four little ones and said: "I won't say much about the fight, you A Weng and A Ye have punished you too, you must not rely on your own skills to make casual moves. Auntie accepts your affection, but the affairs of adults have nothing to do with you, and you can't do this again in the future. Here is ten taels, and Auntie will hand it over to your elder brother. You won't be embarrassed if you need money for anything in the future."

"How can I ask for my aunt's money? Let Aye know that we will be fined."

"Then don't let you Aye know. You Aye are strict with you for your own good, and you know it yourself. But Auntie came here when she was a child, let alone Dalang, you are fifteen after the new year. It’s good to get some money from here. Don’t be burdened, and don’t tell you Aye, this is a secret between Auntie and you. Well, it’s the pocket money that Auntie gave you. You manage it yourself and listen to your elder brother. , Aunt believes that you will not use it indiscriminately."

After a few instructions, Li Sanniang went back to her room and went to sleep.

On the contrary, the four little ones were excited with the huge sum of money, and they laughed and made noises in the room for a while before they calmed down.

On the second day, Brother Li didn't go to the medicine cabinet, but went to Xiangguiji to buy four kinds of pastries, took the four little ones to the academy first, asked the dean for a half-morning leave for the four little ones, and then took a donkey cart to Chong The Wang family of Yefang went to apologize.

Except that Li Silang could still see some reluctance to come, the others looked quite peaceful, Li Silang bowed his head and apologized under Li Dalang's eyes.

He sat at Wang's house again, drank a cup of tea, and took the four little ones home after completing all the etiquette.

Even after he came back, he was not idle. The second brother Li instructed the four little ones to turn over the medicinal materials for a while, and helped them move them up and down. They were really busy all morning.

Except for Brother Li who is still on duty, there are about a dozen people in the Li family. They are eating the barley rice for lunch today. The man comes in.

"The shopkeeper, this is the Wu family in Shilipo Village. They said that a woman in his family suddenly gave birth and couldn't give birth. They came to our house to ask someone to help deliver the baby."

The buddy who clearly explained what was going on, stopped talking after finishing speaking, and signaled the man next to him to speak quickly.

"Shopkeeper, I'm a cousin of Zheng's family in Shilipo Village, and Li is my cousin. Lan Niang should know me."

"Is there Uncle Liang?"

The swarthy man Wu Youliang quickly nodded in agreement.

"Aniang, it's my natal fifth uncle. What's the matter, fifth uncle?"

Second Aunt Li wanted to go to the kitchen to get a cup of tea, but Li Dalang saw it and hurried to get a cup of tea.

"Hey, don't worry about it. Shopkeeper Li, here's what happened. My Dalang's wife went to the field to deliver food to us at noon. The side of the field had just been watered and it was slippery, so Dalang's wife fell directly. We were so scared that we hurriedly carried it home, but it became popular when we got home. I found my uncle, and he asked me to invite sister Li. My uncle lent me the donkey cart, and I begged sister Li to help me. .”

Hearing these hurried words, Mother Li stood up decisively and said, "Have a cup of tea first, Shun Shun, and I'll go with you after I pack the basket."

Seeing this, Li Sanniang hurried to help Mother Li tidy up, and Aunt Li went to the kitchen to find the prepared snacks, filled water in bamboo tubes, wrapped them and put them in a basket for Mother Li.

In less than a moment, Li's mother was about to leave in a donkey cart with Wu Wushu. Li's second brother was worried and wanted to go with him. Li's mother said no, and finally Li's father decided to let Li's second brother bring a few pastes of miscarriage medicine with him. If you can use it, you can use it, and if you don't need it, you can take care of Li's mother.

Li's mother had no choice but to accept Li's father's kindness.

Because of this, everyone stopped gossiping, and after eating and tidying up, they went back to their respective rooms for lunch.

The second sister-in-law Li is pregnant, and her due date will be reached in a few days. After hearing about her fifth uncle's wife, she caresses her belly, hoping that she can give birth smoothly.

After taking a nap, take Luzhuer around the house as usual, so as to increase the amount of activity and promote growth and development.

Go to Mrs. Li, who is still preparing clothes for the baby in her belly. Mrs. Li, who finished her housework in a while, also came over. Four girls of different ages sat together and chatted, talking about Mrs. Li's natal family coming today. When the matter of asking Mother Li to deliver the baby came, they all sighed.

The three lamented that a woman's childbirth is like going through the gate of hell, and it depends on whether she has such a good life.

While talking, Second Aunt Li changed her face. She rubbed her belly to feel the pain of the contractions, tried to calm herself down, turned her head and said to Sister Li, "Sister-in-law, I might be about to give birth."

"Ah, Lan Niang, is your stomach hurting?"

When Second Aunt Li said this, Aunt Li stood up in fright, not knowing what to do.

Li Sanniang thought in her heart: It's finally here, I guessed that A Niang was asked to leave urgently, and the second sister-in-law might give birth today.Sure enough, it came.

Li Sanniang put down Luzhuer, stood up and looked at Sister-in-law Li and said, "Sister-in-law, don't panic, I will deliver the baby. Before I was married, I would secretly follow Auntie to deliver babies. Sister-in-law will come with me first." Help the second sister-in-law into the house."

"Luzhuer, you go to the front yard to look for you, Weng, and say that Auntie is looking for him."

Little Luzhu'er never dropped the line, and immediately stumbled outside.

"Second sister-in-law, don't be afraid. You are having your third baby. It's a good day. I'm here, sister-in-law is here, and Aye is also here. It's sure to be fine. Come on, follow my lead, let's go inside first. "

As soon as Li Sanniang and Mrs. Li helped Mrs. Li to sit down in the room, Father Li came to the door with Luzhu'er in his arms.

Li's father watched Mrs. Li rummaging on the bed at the door, and Li Sanniang was pouring water for Li's second sister, so he said directly: "Erlang's daughter-in-law is about to give birth?"

Second Aunt Li endured bursts of throbbing pain, squeezed out a wry smile and nodded to Father Li.

"How long has it been hurting? Don't be afraid, San Niang will deliver the baby. She was naughty when she was young, and she went out with your mother to deliver many babies. I will take Lu Zhu'er first and go to the kitchen to boil water. Your mother's spare basket It's in the corner cabinet in our house, Sanniang went to get it by herself, the door is unlocked."

After finishing speaking, Father Li went to the medical hall with Luzhu'er in his arms and told the clerk that there would be no doctor's visits in the afternoon, and the medicine cabinet would be supported by the two young men.

I grabbed another pair of medicine and planned to go to the kitchen to boil it first, if I can use it, I will use it, it is better if I don’t need it.

In Mrs. Li's room, Mrs. Li had just finished setting up the delivery bed, that is, laying a layer of straw, a layer of quilt, and a layer of lining on the ground.

Yes, in Li Sanniang's memory, women in ancient times were not born lying down on the lithotomy position on the delivery bed like modern women. In ancient times, because the conditions were not up to standard, they were all born standing up, and they could work harder to make the delivery smoother.

With Li Ersao's consent, Li Sanniang lifted up her skirt and looked at the cervix, and the three fingers were opened, and the multipartum woman should hurry up.

First let Sister-in-law Li help Second-sister-in-law Li wander around the house, and Li Sanniang goes to Li's father and Li's mother's house to get Li's mother's spare basket.

Taking the basket, Li Sanniang took out the obstetric equipment kit that she won in the system backpack last time while there was no one there, put it in the basket, and covered it with a cloth.

As a result, before going out, Li Sanniang turned around and put the equipment bag back into her backpack.

After all, the dark green package and those metal instruments that are not available in this era at first glance, it is really difficult to have a reason to take them out and use them.

It can only be used as an excuse to draw it down and find a craftsman to type it out later.

Going to the kitchen again, I saw Father Li letting Lu Zhuer play by himself under the jujube tree, but Father Li himself had boiled a large pot of water and was boiling medicine on a small stove.

Li Sanniang went back with a basket, took over the work from Mrs. Li, and asked Mrs. Li to serve a bowl of egg soup cakes to Mrs. Li.

Li Sanniang looked again, and the palace mouth has been opened five fingers.

Second Aunt Li was sweating profusely from the pain, but because it was not the first time she gave birth, she still knew not to waste her energy by yelling, so she endured the pain and gritted her teeth.

"Second sister-in-law, loosen your mouth, if you keep pushing so hard, your teeth will be broken. Here, second sister-in-law is biting the veil first, and I think it's already opened five fingers, it's almost here."

At this time, Mrs. Li brought in a pot of hot water and put it directly on the table for easy access.

After such a big meal, it took more than an hour, put down the hot water, and Mrs. Li went back to bring a bowl of freshly made soup cakes with four or five eggs beaten.

Li Sanniang hurried back to the house and changed her outer clothes, found a flowered cloth towel to cover her hair, and then used her arm to lift up the sleeves that were in the way, and went to the kitchen to wash her fingers, hands, and forearms carefully with soap.

Mrs. Li was helping Mrs. Li to eat soup cakes. Li Sanniang hurriedly took the scissors and needles in the basket to the kitchen for Father Li to help cook and wash, and then wrapped them with white embryos in the basket and put them aside, just in case. It is also convenient to use anything later. If it goes well, it is estimated that I will use scissors to cut the umbilical cord for the child.

In fact, in modern medical surgery, the most important point is sterility.

This condition cannot be met now, because Li Sanniang didn't think carefully. When she just took over the second system task, she should have started sewing a surgical gown by herself. Wearing filial piety clothes of white fabric, I didn't rush to do it.

The equipment kit produced by the system will have to find a chance to find a craftsman to type out a few copies in the future. If there is a chance to use it in the future, there is also a source to talk about.

Go back to Mrs. Li's room, ask Mrs. Li to take off her shoes and stand on the temporary delivery bed on the ground next to the bed, and ask Mrs. Li to help take off Mrs. Li's skirt. At this time, she saw that the mouth of the uterus has been opened to nearly ten fingers. I worked hard.

"Second sister-in-law, it's almost done, listen to me, you can start to use your strength, you accumulate strength, okay, work hard!"

　It is very hard to give birth to a child, I guess the next chapter should be able to give birth, and then we will know whether it is a boy or a girl!
　　Thank you for reading.
