Candide in Chronology is on strike

When Qin He came back with the midwife, it was already about ten minutes later.

He didn't waste any time, and soon arrived at the home of the midwife, Aunt Mingcui, but the other party was so annoying!
In one sentence, giving birth to a child is not that easy, and it won't be that fast. She has to arrange the family affairs well and not be in a hurry.

Of course, her speed cannot be said to be slow. After all, it usually takes a few minutes to walk to the Qin family. Now that it is winter and the ground is frozen, it is even harder to walk.

But in the eyes of Qin He, who was anxious to get angry, this series of her actions was considered as wasting her time.

"Auntie, hurry up, Liu Mei is about to give birth, and she is still waiting for you at home!"

"If it's too late, I'm afraid something will happen to her. After all, she fell down, otherwise, she won't be born yet!" Qin He looked behind, Aunt Mingcui, who stopped to rest again, urged.

It's just such a short journey, and I stopped three or four times. Is it that difficult to walk?
"How can my physique compare to that of a young man like you!"

"Besides, in this winter, I always feel like I can't breathe. If I walk a little faster, I have to take a break. Otherwise, I won't be able to breathe." Aunt Mingcui said with a deep breath.

She, an old woman in her 50s, followed him, a young man, up the slope in the ice and snow. Is it easy for her?

This is because she knows that Qin He is really anxious and feels sorry for her daughter-in-law, so she speaks so loudly and angrily. If someone changes to treat her with this attitude, she will not make the other person squirt and scream. Urgent, energize the soul!

"I said I would carry you on my back before, but you refused. Otherwise, it would save you trouble." Qin He still complained a little.

Aunt Mingcui didn't let him carry it, not because of anything else, but because she felt that young people were not stable. If Qin He dropped her old bones, it would be over.

She would not bet on whether Qin He would throw her down. She only knew that her own two feet were the most reliable.

With Qin He's irritable temper, it's strange that she would believe him.

"Isn't this coming soon?"

"Don't worry, giving birth to a baby doesn't happen overnight. It will take at least a few hours."

"Your wife is the first child, so she will be slower."

"To put it bluntly, this woman is risking her own life to give birth to a child. It's not easy! You must treat her well in the future." This is why women with big frames and strong bodies are popular. , because it is easier for them to give birth to children.

On the contrary, those girls who are weak and look thin are most likely to fail when giving birth. In the end, either the baby will be held back for too long and it will be bad, or both the mother and the baby will be too late. It's been a long time, it's not good.

When this woman gives birth to a child, she has to pass through the gate of hell. If she passes through, she will survive. If she cannot pass through, she will die.

"Then I have to ask you to be more diligent. Don't worry, as long as the adults and children are safe, I will never treat you badly. I have prepared the red envelopes."

For Liu Mei to have a baby, the couple spent a lot of money, spending one yuan to hire Aunt Mingcui to deliver the baby.

There was actually another matchmaker in the village, namely Bai Yanzi, but since the relationship between the matchmaker and the villager named Qin was not very good, they invited Aunt Mingcui.

Bai Yanzi and Aunt Mingcui are bitter rivals in the village. Because the work they have to do overlaps with each other, the friction caused by business is much more serious than other reasons.

If you want to make money, you have to compete with the other party for business. Doesn't this back and forth lead to enmity?

Bai Yanzi learned her craft from her husband's family, but Aunt Mingcui learned her craft from her mother's family. Her mother-in-law taught her the craft herself. Not only her, but also her interested sisters-in-law also learned it, but only she My sister-in-law and I are going to be apprentices.On one side, it is a daughter-in-law, not a daughter, and on the other side, a daughter-in-law, not a son. The difference is huge.

Aunt Mingcui's mother-in-law does not prevent her daughter-in-law from wanting to learn this craft, but her daughter also teaches it, and they are all treated equally. It's just that the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual. Aunt Mingcui's mother can't change this.

In this world, it is not easy for a woman to gain a foothold, but if she has a craft, it will be much easier. If nothing else, if she gets married, she will at least be looked down upon by her husband's family.

Of course, once the craftsmanship is taught, it is up to them to decide whether they can become a master in the future, whether they can practice this trade, whether they have a business, or whether they can pass it on to others.

After all, not everyone can be a midwife.

In the room, Liu Mei was holding her belly and walking around. Walking more like this would be beneficial to the birth later.

Although she was her first child, she had gone in to see and help with the births of her sisters-in-law, so she still knew some of the specific circumstances.

The intense pain when she first fell has passed and has subsided for a while. Although it still hurts now, it is much better than when the severe pain came before, so she can stand up and walk around.

Qin Xi and Qin Jiang didn't leave either. They were sitting aside to help boil water. Liu Mei would definitely need hot water when she gave birth to her baby.

Besides, if Qin He didn't come back, they wouldn't worry about leaving a pregnant woman who was about to give birth alone at home.

Liu Mei burst into tears when she saw Qin He appear. This woman was most helpless when giving birth and needed her family and relatives by her side the most. In Chenhui Village, she only had Qin He as her family member. .

Before he was not at home, Liu Mei's heart had been beating. Even if nothing happened, her heart was still unsettled. Now that he was back, her pounding heart had calmed down.

"Qin He, why did you come back?"

"I'm going to ask Aunt Mingcui to deliver your baby. Don't be afraid."

Qin Jiang and Qin Xi didn't like to see the loving scene between the couple. When the watcher came back, their mission was almost completed. After saying something to Qin He, the two left.

"Brother Xiaoxi, thank you. I'm busy at home today. I'll invite you to my house for dinner another day." Qin He really wanted to ease the relationship between the two parties, so he really wanted to invite you to dinner.

"No, we don't have anything to do. Let's get back to work!"

But no one in Qin Jiang or Qin Xi took it to heart. They had heard too many such polite words.

After returning home, the two of them didn't worry much about what happened next door. They had to eat and drink when they should. In the afternoon, they heard a child crying from next door. It was a baby.

Qin Jiang, Qin Xi and Qin Qing were all very curious about this matter. They stood up and went next door to inquire about the situation.

Tang Ying was sitting here with them before, wanting to know immediately whether Liu Mei was giving birth to a boy or a girl, but after waiting for more than two hours, there was no result. She couldn't wait any longer, so she left.

Who knows, once she leaves, this result will come out. When she knows the details tomorrow, she will regret it to death.
