The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 108

Every day someone would accompany her to chat and play cards, eat, drink and sleep, Fang Yumin resolutely ran towards a life like a pig.Every few days, Lin Qiulai will bring the children back to stay for another night, and the house is lively and happy.Fang Yumin lived a comfortable and contented life as a child, but felt that time flies by.

Seeing that the hottest August is coming, pieces of golden rice fields are swaying with the wind, and the neatly arranged corn has already eared or wrapped. When you break it open, you can see that the blue corn cobs are glowing. It has a unique fragrance.

The autumn harvest at Lin Qiulai's house has always been earlier than that in the village. Moreover, soybeans and peanuts are mostly planted on the dry land this year, and the harvest period is earlier than that of corn.Lin Qiulai had already made arrangements.

When the weather was hot, Fang Yumin only stayed at home and didn't go anywhere except going out for a walk in the morning and evening.Her stomach is also getting bigger and bigger, and she has to support her back when she walks.

The delivery room has been prepared, and it is all set up by Mrs. Li and Aunt Chunhua.Originally in the countryside, the bedroom was the delivery room.But Mrs. Li said that the ventilation effect of the wife's room is too good to be used as a delivery room. Otherwise, if one is not careful, the mother and the baby may be exposed to the wind, which may cause the root cause of the disease.That's a lifetime thing.

After the delivery room was set up, Fang Yumin didn't dare to go in. She just stood outside the door and looked around.The light in the room is very dark. If you close the windows and draw the curtains, it will be really stuffy.There was a single bed in the room, and a small stool in front of the bed.A thick curtain was hung in front of the door, and a cloth curtain was drawn between the curtain and the wooden bed.It's just overlapping, preventing any light or wind from outside from entering.

"Mother Li, is the small bench in front of the bed convenient for me to climb onto the bed?"

"No, that's for welcoming the newborn baby. When the wife is about to give birth, we will spread wheat straw on the stool, and then let the baby fall on it, which is called falling grass or falling to the ground." Li explained.

"Isn't it? How can you do this?" Fang Yumin exclaimed, she couldn't understand this kind of practice, "The skin of a newborn baby is very delicate, how can it be born on wheat oranges? It shouldn't be covered with cotton cloth on the bed Is it?"

Aunt Chunhua interrupted from the side: "Hey, my three children were all born when I was working in the fields. They are really born children, don't worry, everything will be fine."

Fang Yumin's eyes twitched when she heard this. She had heard her mother say that many rural women gave birth to children while doing farm work, but there was one child in front of her, and three children were born like this!
But just because other people's children are born like this doesn't mean that their own children should also be born like this.In modern times, kittens and puppies are all picked up with quilts, how can they use wheat oranges when they give birth?The family is not without money.

Mrs. Li comforted Fang Yumin with a smile: "Ma'am, this is a custom. We will not really let babies be born directly on straw, this is just a formality."

"Oh, that's okay." Fang Yumin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but seeing that the delivery room was empty and there was no guarantee, Fang Yumin became nervous again.

In ancient times, giving birth to a child was a narrow escape, so you must resign yourself to fate.Bleeding during labor and tears in the birth canal are common.If the fetal position is not correct, it will be difficult to give birth at any time, resulting in one dead body and two lives.In addition, the hygienic conditions here are poor, there is a high chance of infection, there is no alcohol disinfection, no plasma transport to replenish blood, and no emergency room to perform caesarean section... This, this, Fang Yumin wants to cry.

"Ma'am, don't worry too much." Seeing Fang Yumin's face turned pale, Mrs. Li could not help comforting her, "Wen Po said that Madam's fetal position is correct, as long as you use your strength as Wen Po told you, you will be safe and sound."

"En." Fang Yumin grasped Li Shi's hand and said, "One more thing. My strength has never been great, and my hips are also small, so giving birth to a child is also a laborious task. Otherwise, let's think about how to use our strength to exert strength and work hard." to give birth to a child?"

Mrs. Li opened her mouth wide and looked at Fang Yumin, what Madam said.Didn't giving birth to the baby come out with force like um huh?How can you use your strength?She doesn't understand wow!
Mrs. Li turned her head to look at Aunt Chunhua, who also shook her head in a daze.

So Li asked: "Ma'am, what do you mean?"

Fang Yumin is also distressed, she has never had a child, this is the first time.But she has watched TV dramas. Didn't the drama say that a cloth towel should be hung on the beam when giving birth, and then the mother bites the towel in her mouth, pulls the cloth with both hands vigorously, and spits out the child under the encouragement of the midwife?Also, put your feet on the shelf like a prenatal checkup.When it's time to give birth, the legs will straighten the frame with all their strength. Isn't that using strength?

Thinking of this, Fang Yumin took Li Shi's hand and said, "Mother Li, Aunt Chunhua, come to the study and I'll tell you."

When the three of them arrived in the study, Fang Yumin told them his views while drawing pictures.

Mrs. Li pondered for a moment and said, "It's not auspicious to hang a cloth towel on the beam, but it's not auspicious to put the foot on the shelf."

Aunt Chunhua also nodded, comforting Fang Yumin and said: "Xiao Lian, don't worry, the last time you gave birth to Xiao Ming was a normal delivery. This is the second child, and it will be smoother than the first one."

"Excuse me." Fang Yumin sighed, it was useless for her to worry, the hardware could not be upgraded, and she could only live or die.

The two midwives in the Lin family village both received big red envelopes from Lin Qiulai, and they would go to the Lin family the next day to check whether the fetal position was correct for Fang Yumin, and rub Fang Yumin's stomach from time to time.There are no obstetricians and gynecologists here. Although Wen Po is illiterate, she has rich experience in delivering babies through oral traditions passed down from generation to generation.

Zhang Cuihua disapproved of Fang Yumin being pregnant and causing such a big fight.She had already persuaded Lin Qiulai to choose a woman with a big butt and a big chest to be his wife. Such a woman is easy to give birth to, and it doesn't take much effort to give birth to a child.Where does Fang Xiaolian spend money to ask the stable woman to adjust the fetal position?Just like that, the child may not be able to be born smoothly.It would be better to save the money if you have that money, it's too wasteful.

No matter what plans everyone has in mind, they are all looking forward to the arrival of the new baby.

In mid-September, Lin Qiulai couldn't stand it any longer. He posted a notice on the door of the store saying "The owner is happy" and then closed the store and took the children back to Linjiacun.He wants to be with Xiao Min.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang were also going to school, but they both asked for leave to go back to Linjiacun with their father. There was nothing more important than the birth of a younger brother or sister, and they believed that they could catch up with their studies.

The master and the young masters all went home, and the other children followed naturally.The house is buzzing again.Although Fang Yumin felt that Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang should go to school, she was also moved by their filial piety, so she stopped mentioning it.Just let the two of them set a study schedule and complete the tasks every day.

As soon as the autumn harvest is over, the mountain fruits in the mountains turn from red to purple one after another.Fang Yumin thought about the overripe taste of the mountain, and encouraged the children to go up the mountain to pick it.There are also the small yellow chrysanthemums all over the mountains, pink and fluffy wild peaches, fat and tender pheasants, wild rabbits, etc., which immediately attracted the hearts of those half-grown children who were idle at home.

Early the next morning, all nine children in the family were dispatched. Led by Xiaoping and Aqing, together with Xiaohua and Taohua, they set off with bamboo baskets on their backs.

Lin Qiulai helped Fang Yumin to send the children out, after that Fang Yumin went back to the room to catch up on sleep, Lin Qiulai and his second brother Lin Xialai went to the sauce garden.

The smell of ginger and vinegar came from the kitchen again, Fang Yumin told Mrs. Li to make it.In Fang Yumin's hometown, ginger vinegar is always cooked when giving birth, and women who have given birth eat it during confinement.Ginger vinegar boiled with old ginger, sweet vinegar, pig’s feet, and eggs can remove residual blood on the body, nourish and invigorate blood circulation, and sit well during the confinement period. .

Ginger vinegar is given to guests who come to visit mothers and babies at home.Fang Yumin went back to Linjiacun to wait for the delivery. She estimated that many people would come to see the baby after it was born. She made a rough calculation and asked Mrs. Li to make five large jars.One bowl per person is almost enough.

Fang Yumin didn't sleep well, her stomach was too big, her waist was very tired, no matter which side she turned to, she felt uncomfortable.She hugged the quilt and sat up, looking around the room, unexpectedly she had been wearing it here for almost three years.The bits and pieces of the past three years seem to be as clear as what happened yesterday.Now, the little life conceived by her and Qiu Lai will soon come to this world.

I heard that the pain of childbirth can reach up to ten levels; I heard that this pain is equivalent to breaking twenty ribs at the same time... How painful it is!Fang Yumin couldn't help feeling frightened, it was so scary!
There is no painless childbirth here, no caesarean section, you can only give birth by yourself...hemorrhage at any time, one dead body and two lives at any time...

"Xiao Min?" As soon as Lin Qiulai walked into the room, he saw Fang Yumin looking out of the window with his face up slightly, with a vague expression, as if he would drift away at any moment, his heart tightened, and he hurried over to hold her hand .

"What's the matter?" Fang Yumin came back to her senses, looked at Lin Qiulai and smiled.

Lin Qiulai clenched his warm little hand again: "What were you thinking just now?"

"It's nothing. Giving birth is so painful, I'm thinking that I'll cry while giving birth?"

"It's okay, you can cry if you want." Lin Qiu said, "As long as your mother and child are safe."

"Mother and son?" Fang Yumin looked at Lin Qiulai: "How do you know that I must have a son?"

Lin Qiulai chuckled: "Intuition."

Fang Yumin curled her lips and asked, "What if the baby is a daughter?"

Lin Qiulai blurted out: "That would be great!"

Fang Yumin stroked her forehead, Lin Qiulai took the opportunity to hold Fang Yumin together with the quilt, and put her big hand on her swollen belly gently: "The child is so good, I didn't bother my mother much. It would be great if it was a girl. Oh, ouch~ ~"

Lin Qiulai said excitedly: "He kicked me once, yo, twice!" As he spoke, he put his face on Fang Yumin's belly, and smiled at his wife, with a gentle and happy smile on his face.

Fang Yumin reached out and stroked Lin Qiulai's hair, and looked back with a smile.The baby in my womb usually doesn't make much noise, but when it makes noise, it moves violently.

The two talked a little more, Lin Qiulai got up and helped Fang Yumin up: "It's almost time for lunch, let's walk around first."

"Well, when will Xiao Ming and the others come back?"

"In the afternoon, it's fun to go up the mountain at this time, haven't you been there?"

"That's true." Fang Yumin rubbed her stomach regretfully, "If I hadn't been pregnant with a baby, I would have gone up to play."

"Next year, let's go together next year."

"What if I get pregnant again?" Fang Yumin said casually, choking Lin Qiulai.He stammered and replied with an incoherent sentence: "Then I will work harder at night and try to get my wife pregnant next year."

Mrs. Li and Aunt Chunhua, who were sitting in the corridor doing needlework, couldn't help laughing when they heard Lin Qiulai's words.Fang Yumin blushed, and couldn't help punching Lin Qiulai's chest: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Qiulai just grinned, Fang Yumin flushed with embarrassment, and punched Lin Qiulai one after another.

I don't know if it's because of excessive force or what, but I suddenly felt something warm flowing down my thighs, Fang Yumin pulled up her loose trousers, blood!There was blood all over the light-colored trousers, and she couldn't help screaming in fright: "Mama Li, Mama Li."

Lin Qiulai also saw it. He looked very flustered, and hurriedly bent down to hug Fang Yumin, and also looked at Li Ma and Aunt Chunhua who stood up in a panic: "What should I do?"

Mrs. Li hurriedly urged: "Quick, hurry up and carry her into the delivery room."

Aunt Chunhua said: "Everyone, don't panic and don't mess around. I'll call Mrs. Wen, Mama Li, stay with Xiaolian, Mama Jian, go and boil the water!"

"Yes!"

Everyone took their places, after Lin Qiulai carried Fang Yumin into the delivery room, she was kicked out by Mrs. Li.Men can't stay in the delivery room, even if Fang Yumin pulls hard!
Lin Qiulai was wandering around in the yard, suddenly remembered his mother, and hurried to Lin Chunlai's house.His mother has also given birth to four children, so she is experienced.At this time, she had to be notified, as well as the second sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law too!

Soon Mrs. Wen arrived, and they immediately went into the delivery room to see Fang Yumin.At this time, Zhang Cuihua and Mrs. He also arrived.

An older woman Wen raised Fang Yumin's leg to look at it, and said, "Put the crossbar on, the amniotic fluid is broken. The baby is about to come out."

Fang Yumin's heart couldn't help trembling when she heard this, and then bursts of stomach pain hit her.I can't say anything, I just moan when I open my mouth.

The midwives were Mrs. Li and Aunt Chunhua. They quickly installed the crossbar on the bed, put the shelf in place, and lifted Fang Yumin's weak leg on it.

After that, hot water, scissors sterilized with hot water, a large number of cloth towels, small quilts, wheat oranges, etc. were all placed in the delivery room one by one, and everything was ready, waiting for the baby to come.

Fang Yumin thought about how painful it would be to have a baby, but the thought is different from the reality.She didn't know what the pain was until now, it was so painful!And it's not just one pain, but one after another, maybe 10 minutes, maybe 8 minutes... As time goes by, the frequency of labor pains is getting higher and higher, and the pain level is getting higher and higher, which is almost unbearable.

Fang Yumin let go of her throat and screamed, the cloth towel she was biting in her mouth fell off, her hands firmly grasped the crossbar on the bed, her fingertips turned white; her crooked feet were pedaling on the shelf, trying hard to remove the rag that was blocking the birth canal. Spit out the contents.

Lin Qiulai walked back and forth anxiously at the door of the delivery room, making Zhang Cuihua faint.She was just about to tell Lin Qiulai not to leave, when suddenly Fang Yumin's tragic scream came from the delivery room, which startled her so much that she forgot the words.

By the way, Zhang Cuihua has lived to more than 50 years old, and I have never heard of a daughter-in-law who gave birth as badly as her third daughter-in-law!The cry seemed to be heard by the whole village, right?How scary, oh, here it comes again, Zhang Cuihua couldn't help but want to cover her ears.

"Hurry up, hurry up, see the head, Qiulai daughter-in-law, work harder!" A steady woman was instructing Fang Yumin how to use force, and a steady woman squatted below.

Fang Yumin was exhausted, from the moment she entered the delivery room to the present, the seconds felt like years: "I, I, I am exhausted."

"Don't be discouraged, otherwise it's easy to get your head stuck in the birth canal." Wen Po, who was instructing Fang Yumin's delivery, suddenly stretched out her hand and twisted Fang Yumin's body hard.She turned her head and stared at Po Wen angrily, but Po Wen said, "Look, it's not that you're weak, it's that you didn't try your best. Do you know that you are lucky? Some people can't give birth after days and nights of pain. You After a while, the baby will come out soon, why don't you hurry up and use your strength? Use your strength!"

Fang Yumin gritted her teeth when she heard this, and began to howl miserably again...

Damn!If I knew I was going to have a baby at this time, I should eat early to save some energy!Now I haven't eaten lunch, and I've already digested breakfast, but at such an embarrassing moment, baby, you want to come to this fancy world!
Fang Yumin opened his mouth when he thought about something, and Fang Yumin's next sentence was no longer a simple cry of pain, but: "Hungry! Ah~ so hungry! Ahh~ I'm dying, ohhh~ I want to eat! Rice! Rice! "

Oops!
Everyone was shocked by Fang Yumin!Whether it was the two stable women and two midwives in the delivery room, or Lin Qiulai, Zhang Cuihua and second sister-in-law He who were guarding outside the delivery room, and Jane who was boiling water in the kitchen.

Lin Qiulai quickly came back to his senses, and shouted through the heavy door: "Xiao Min, what do you want to eat? I'll make it!"

“Char Siew Rice!”

BBQ pork?God horse stuff?Lin Qiulai choked and roared, "Okay, barbecued pork rice! What else?"

"I want to drink Coke! Ah~~~"

Cola?Is it God Ma Dongdong again?Lin Qiulai choked again, and shouted again: "Okay, Coke! What else?"

"The old woman can eat all the Manchu and Han feasts in Temadi! Giving birth to a child is hard work! Ahhh~"

"Wow, wow~" Under Fang Yumin's tragic roar, the baby's childish cry appeared, and then Li's surprise voice came from the delivery room: "Congratulations, Mrs. Hexi, you are a very handsome young master."

At the same time, in the capital city more than 1000 kilometers away from Nantou County in the south, Fang Yuhua, the head of the Fang family, was holding a piece of warm jade pendant in his hand, and his eyes seemed to have passed through the small bridge and flowing water in front of him, and the green wall...

20 years, has been 20 years.I don't know if Hui Niang and Xiao Min are all right?But even this jade pendant is pawned, how can life be better?
This summer, his son Fang Linjun got this jade pendant by chance. It turned out to be the betrothal gift that Fang Yuhua gave to Shi Huimin back then.

Ever since Hui Niang left Fang's house with her youngest daughter, Fang Yuhua never gave up on finding their mother and daughter.It's just that the sky is big and the earth is big, Niang Hui made up her mind to avoid him and her own son, how could he find them?
Scenes of the past flooded into his mind, Fang Yuhua took a deep breath and closed his eyes.The people who were sent to investigate in Nantou County came back, and there is a small and well-known restaurant called Lou Wai Lou in a small county town there.The hostess in that store is surnamed Fang and named Yumin!
