The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 202 Holding the child and begging for milk
Zhang Delin saw Jiang Shiyi coming again and thought to himself that this girl can endure hardships! After working together for several days, he thought she wouldn't come today.

Jiang Shiyi just said hello to him and went directly to the grain depot behind to move grain! Jiang Shiyi ate the steamed bun this morning and felt much stronger. She carried it again and again, thinking that she could earn more today and bought a tube bone to go back to Xie Zhaoyu to replenish her health!

When Jiang Shiyi was carrying sacks at the grain store, Mrs. Zhang was wearing thin clothes and holding Panpan wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket out of the door. The baby was born a few days ago, and Xie Zhaoyu had no milk yet, so she had been feeding her with rice soup. , the child is losing weight day by day, just drinking rice soup is not enough! The child will die if this continues!

Mrs. Zhang walked to the bunker with her baby in her arms, wondering which family had given birth to a baby and could get some milk for the baby.

Mrs. Zhang looked around on the bluestone road and walked slowly until she reached the market in the middle. There were several mothers-in-law who were about the same age as Zhang standing on the roadside. They were basking in the sun at noon and talking gossip. .

Mrs. Zhang came over and several women looked at her.

Mrs. Zhang smiled when she saw that these people were still kind-hearted and said, "This is my granddaughter. She has no milk just a few days after giving birth. The baby is very hungry. I want to ask my elder sister if there is any wife here who has given birth to a baby." , give the baby a sip of milk!”

Several old women saw that Mrs. Zhang was wearing thin clothes and her gray hair was blowing in the wind. They also saw that she came from the north, so they kindly asked, "Is your house burned down a few days ago and you gave birth to a child?" Which one?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded quickly, "Yes! My daughter-in-law gave birth to the baby that night. She suffered heavy bleeding and survived. Now there is no milk. The baby is dying. Please help me. !”

Mrs. Zhang held the child to her chest distressedly, with tears in her eyes. An old woman opened her cotton-padded coat and saw that the child was naked and naked, wrapped only in a torn cotton-padded coat. She felt very pitiful. There was one The old woman said, "You can steam some noodles for your child, then mix them into a paste and feed them to her."

Hearing this, Ms. Zhang was a little embarrassed. Jiang Shiyi had been out for the past few days and didn't know what he was doing. He worked very hard to bring them back some millet. There was really no flour at home.

Mrs. Zhang truthfully said that in this day and age, flour is such a precious thing!

Several mothers-in-law sighed inwardly as they watched. One old woman took Mrs. Zhang to her home. Her grandson had grown up, so she picked up some unworn clothes and gave them to Ms. Zhang. Another old woman looked at the child. It was pitiful, but there wasn't much food at home, so behind the back of his daughter-in-law, he secretly scooped a bowl of noodles and gave it to Mrs. Zhang, and taught her how to steam noodles to feed her children.

Madam Zhang knelt down and said, "Thank you, sister, for saving my granddaughter!"

The old woman pulled Zhang up, took her to the roadside, and pointed to the house at the end of the alley, "The fifth house in the alley, surnamed Liu, has a fat daughter-in-law who gave birth to a baby. I heard she has a lot of milk. Go and take a look at that one!”

"Thank you, thank you!" Mrs. Zhang walked to the Liu family with her child in her arms. This family seemed to have a well-to-do family, with a brick-and-tile house with golden corn hanging under the eaves.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang stood at the door, the big black dog in the yard started barking. Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to go in so she stood at the door. A fat woman came out and said, "Where are you beggars? We don't have anything to eat at home." !”

"I'm not here to beg for food. Look at my child. He has no milk for a few days after birth. I heard that your daughter-in-law has a lot of milk. Please help me feed the child! Save the child's life, please. "

Mrs. Zhang shed tears. In this era, many families have given birth to children without milk. It is normal to go out to ask for milk.

The mother-in-law looked at Mrs. Zhang and saw that she was holding a tattered cotton-padded jacket tightly in her arms. There was a child wrapped in the cotton-padded jacket!
The mother-in-law sighed inwardly, and went in to ask her daughter-in-law. Her daughter-in-law had given birth to a baby for two months. She had so much milk that she couldn't finish it, and the bloating was uncomfortable, so she came out and asked her to bring the baby in. .

Mrs. Zhang happily held her child and entered the door. She also knew that she had been too dirty these days and had no change of clothes, so she stood at the door. The daughter-in-law of the Liu family took the child over and frowned. The child was completely naked and wrapped in a tattered cotton-padded jacket. She frowned.

She muttered, but still untied her clothes. Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but come closer and take a closer look. Panpan was obviously hungry, gulping milk like a little wolf cub.

After a few days, the baby finally took its first mouthful of milk. Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but wipe her tears.

When the child was full, Ms. Zhang took the child over and patted her back. The child burped. Ms. Zhang took the quilt given by the mother-in-law and wrapped the child tightly, bending over and saying, "Thank you." Thank you very much!”

Mrs. Zhang returned home with her child in her arms. Panpan had eaten enough today and her belly was bulging. Ms. Zhang wiped Panpan’s face clean again, put on the clothes that her mother-in-law had given her today, and covered her little face with it. The quilt was placed next to Xie Zhaoyu.

"I'm finally full today, and I won't make any fuss even after I'm full!" Ms. Zhang said with a smile.

Xie Zhaoyu touched the child's hand and felt very guilty. As a mother, she let her child starve, but what could be done?

Madam Zhang wiped away Xie Zhaoyu's tears. Xie Zhaoyu looked at Madam Zhang. Madam Zhang had been taking care of her children day and night in the past few days, and she looked much older!

Xie Zhaoyu hated himself for being useless!

"Don't think so much. As long as you and your child are well, what's better? Mom will cook for you!"

The child fell asleep after eating. Mrs. Zhang finally freed her hand. Mrs. Zhang brought the cooked porridge over. Xie Zhaoyu shook her head and said she didn't want to eat it. He ate it, and Xie Zhaoyu felt very sad!
After Zhang persuaded her for a few more words, Xie Zhaoyu drank the porridge.

At this time, the door opened, and Lu Xiang staggered in with a large bundle of firewood on his back. Zhang hurried over to pick it up, "Xiangxiang, why are you carrying so much? Please carry less in the future."

"I'm not tired!" Lu Xiang put the firewood next to the stove. He had to burn the kang and cook every day. He used a lot of firewood, so Lu Xiang went out to chop wood every day.

In the past few days, Lu Xiang was like a crazy girl, helping to cook, chop wood, coax the children, and make medicine, without even bothering to take care of herself.

Zhang combed her daughter's hair again.

Lu Xiang saw that the porridge was cooked, and then squatted down to wash Panpan's diaper.

Sister Shi Yi works so hard every day, and her mother is looking forward to it day and night. She has to do more work, but Lu Xiang doesn't feel tired at all.

"You should pay attention to your safety when you are out alone." Ms. Zhang was very worried about Lu Xiang!
