Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 367 Li's Production (1)
Seeing this, Chen Xuewen and Lu Haojie felt uncomfortable, so they could only resort to pacification. After crying for a while, Mrs. Li knew that the two children's time should not be wasted, so she wiped away her tears and sent them to the outside the gate.

It wasn't until they saw the carriage of the two that they had traveled a long distance that the members of the Lin family closed the gate and walked into the courtyard...

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather was getting cooler day by day. Since I sent off Chen Xuewen and Lu Haojie, I only received their letters from home after the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th.

As soon as Chen Xuewen arrived in the capital, he went to serve in the Imperial Academy, while Lu Haojie waited for a while before receiving a letter of appointment from the Ministry of Officials, and set off for a small county in the north - Ningshan County the next day. The official position is as originally guessed, the county magistrate of the seventh rank.

It is said that Ningshan County is not rich, but it is not barren either. Generally speaking, the appointment Lu Haojie got is not bad.

Ever since the day entered September, Lin Xiaoqiao's family has always held a heart, waiting for the child in Li's womb to land at any time.

Because Lin Xiaoxi is engaged, and her marriage will not be delayed until the second half of next year at the latest, she usually spends most of her time hiding in her room embroidering dowry.

However, the two sisters still try to stay with Li Shi as much as possible, and Li Shi herself knows that the day of giving birth is about to come, so it is inevitable that she will be a little nervous.

Lin Xiaoqiao and her sisters often stayed by her side, chatting and laughing to relieve boredom. Because of the relief from the two daughters, Li gradually relaxed her nerves and eased her nervousness.

Because Mrs. Li was pregnant with this child, she was considered an advanced woman, and she had suffered a bad health before, so Lin Xiaoqiao had already discussed with Widow Zheng about all matters related to childbirth.

On the tenth day of September, there are only a few days left before the delivery date that the doctor said. To be on the safe side, Lin Xiaoqiao asked Uncle Lu early on to inquire about two birth attendants with the best reputation in the town. Mother-in-law, invited them to her own house, provided them with delicious food and drink, and waited for the movement from Mrs. Li.

Lin Erniu has been staying at home lately, not even going to the fields. Lin Xiaoqiao always feels that his father seems to be more nervous than Li Shi, especially when the days go by and he still hasn't seen him. Mrs. Li has a movement.

Recently, Lin Xiaoqiao has often seen his father walking around the door of Mrs. Li's room, but he seldom enters the room to talk. Occasionally he comes in and sits with his mouth pursed. He stared at Li Shi's stomach, and couldn't see any expression on his face, but the two thick eyebrows were often crowded together.

He seemed to be silently thinking, why this baby hasn't come out of his mother's womb yet, it's really frustrating to wait!
Every time they saw Lin Erniu's appearance, Lin Xiaoqiao and his sisters always covered their mouths and snickered, while Li Shi was often stared at by him, so he got angry.

"What's the matter? I don't think the child will come out. I haven't said anything yet, but you are getting impatient!"

"What are you looking at? Why do you want to go, don't dangle in front of my eyes, it will give you a headache!"

"You say a big man, your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and you don't know how to comfort her, but you just know that you are like a fool, staring at you blindly!"

Such similar complaints and complaints, Li Shi often blurts out recently, pregnant women who are about to give birth have a temper, and the closer the day of giving birth, the string in Li Shi's heart becomes tighter, and the heart becomes more nervous. irritable.

She was also reluctant to lose her temper with her two filial daughters, so she could only show face to Lin Erniu, an honest man.

Lin Erniu has always been a good-tempered person, not to mention knowing that Li Shi is about to give birth, so at this time, he is completely capable of swearing.

Lin Erniu is stupid, he doesn't know how to say sweet words to coax others, when Li Shi puts on face for him, he just grinned stupidly, no matter how much Li Shi loses his temper, he won't talk back to her Yes, after several times like this, Li Shi lost his temper.

However, Lin Erniu is not stupid, he just sits there looking for scolding, as soon as Li's mood calms down, he will leave with a silly smile on his face.

Every time after he left, Lin Xiaoqiao would find that the gloomy look in Li's eyes had dissipated a lot, and he was able to talk and chat with the two sisters calmly.

Lin Xiaoqiao thought about it secretly, and felt that her father was here to act as Li Shi's punching bag. It is well known that Li Shi has a temper these days.

However, Lin Erniu was still able to bite the bullet and send it up again and again to vent his anger on Mrs. Li. Perhaps this is a way for him, a simple and honest man, to love his wife.

"Mother, why did you lose your temper when you saw my father recently?" Lin Xiaoqiao sat on the couch and peeled an apple for Mrs. Li to eat.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li said with a hint of shame and helplessness on her face, "Oh——I don't know what's going on, as these days pass by, my mother is also very nervous. See When it's your father's time, he can't control his temper!"

"Mother, don't be nervous. Didn't you give birth to our four brothers and sisters before, and there must be no problem this time. The younger sister and Aunt Zheng have made arrangements for you. "Lin Xiaoxi persuaded softly.

"After all, mother is an elderly person. I remember that when your grandma gave birth to your little uncle, it was very dangerous and almost bleed. Mother was guarding the door at that time, looking at the pots of blood. Falling out, don’t be too scared. At that time, I heard the midwife who delivered the baby say that adults are dangerous, and my mother was worried that your grandma would suddenly disappear. People say that women who are old enough to have children face great dangers, and mother is not afraid of death. , I’m just afraid of leaving you brothers and sisters behind!” Li Shi murmured as she put her arms around Lin Xiaoxi, the gloominess between her brows intensified a bit.

Lin Xiaoqiao was also worried in his heart. In such a society that lacks medical care and medicine, it is true that women give birth. It is a circle of ghosts. Women who die because of dystocia are everywhere, not to mention that Li is still a child. An elderly woman who is not physically strong.

To be honest, she herself is looking forward to and nervous about the child in Li Shi's womb, but now, hearing Li Shi's worrying thoughts, Lin Xiaoqiao naturally wants to stop her from thinking about it: "Mother, you What are you talking about? There are only a few days left, so stop thinking about it! The more you think about it, the more it will be unfavorable for production. Let's relax and get down to it. Wait, maybe the little brother will come out soon! Mother, don't worry, what should be arranged should be prepared. Aunt Zheng and I are ready, so you can relax, okay? Mother has to be kind to yourself Confidence, don't always think about those messy things, your mood can directly affect our little brother. I don't want our little brother to frown his eyebrows all day long like a mother, looking sad!"
