Xia Mingshuang came to the door of Lao Gu's house and found that Gu Nianjun and Er Zhuang were also there, so he asked them to go home and study quickly. They couldn't help the fourth aunt give birth to a child.

The door was open, and there were many people in the yard. The women's noisy voices were mixed with Zhao Peihong's screams.

Country people like to be lively and gossipy, but they are also warm-hearted. If anyone has something to do, they will immediately come over to help.

Zhao Peihong was having her first child, and there were some signs of dystocia. Mother Heping asked the barefoot doctor to come and take a look, but Mrs. Gu was not happy. She felt that the barefoot doctor could not deliver babies. Besides, the barefoot doctor in the village was still a man, so what was the use of calling him?

Aunts, aunts, and sisters-in-law from the neighbors gathered around here, chattering and giving ideas. This one said what he wanted to do, and the other said what he wanted to do.

Liu Xiaoxia clapped her hands there and wondered: "Why is this person different from other people? The birth of children among us went smoothly. It took a little trouble for the first one, and it was just as easy as having a baby. Then my aunt's house Before I gave birth to a child, I was still cutting wheat. I kept cutting and said that I couldn’t give birth anymore, so I gave birth while squatting in the ground.”

Wang Lanxiang poked her and whispered: "Second sister-in-law, please stop talking. I think her condition is not good."

Someone took the opportunity to stir up trouble, "How can you say that a country woman can't have a good life? I see that she just doesn't work and is having a hard time at home."

Someone else criticized her, "Don't talk nonsense, that Yunshan wife didn't go to the ground, she still had four children."

In the room, Zhao Peihong was rolling on the kang in pain. She couldn't even say a whole sentence. She wanted to call for help, a doctor, and her parents, but unfortunately they were not around and no one could save her.

The kang mat had been lifted up, and a lot of straw was spread under her body. Underneath was a pile of plant ash to absorb the blood.

The cold wind rushed in through the door, making Zhao Peihong's whole body as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

In the room were Heping Niang, Mrs. Gu and an old woman who had given birth to several children, discussing inside.

The wooden door was not tightly closed to begin with, so Gu Yanni and a few women pushed the door open for a while and looked around, letting in bursts of cold wind.

Third Sister Gu was originally guarding there, asking Gu Yanni and the others not to open the door, lest the cold wind would blow in and blow people.

Gu Yanni thought she was in the way, so she pushed her aside.

Third Sister Gu: "If it doesn't work, then you have to go to the hospital."

In the past, no matter how sick she was, Third Sister Gu would never talk about going to the hospital. However, Gu Yunshan and Xia Ming both took her to the hospital twice. Now that she has seen the world, she feels that she must go to the hospital for such things.

In the room, Mrs. Gu opened the door angrily and came out, giving Third Sister Gu a fierce look, "Your sister-in-law is giving birth to a baby, why are you yelling outside?"

Third Sister Gu: "Mom, she is like this, go to the doctor quickly..."

"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Gu was going to be angry to death.

She was so angry, what hospital should she go to? Don’t you have to spend money to go to the hospital? Which country woman has to go to the hospital to give birth? Which one gave birth without taking a poop? Women in the production team have to go to the field with a big belly. They will not go home to rest until the moment of giving birth. If the weather is warm, there will be many babies outside.

Besides, going to the hospital is a hassle. First, you have to go to the production team to borrow a donkey cart, and you also have to write a letter of introduction. I heard that the hospital has to charge money to enter the hospital even if you don’t need to see a doctor. How much does it cost, and then let the doctor look and feel it? Qian, didn’t the doctor deliver the baby too? Can she still deliver a flower?

A trip to the hospital costs at least five or ten yuan these days. Who has that kind of money?

It’s not just about spending money. You’re not allowed to take dry food with you when you go out? In the winter, dry food is not enough, so you have to bring food stamps. Who has ready-made food stamps? Then you have to carry the grain to the grain management office to change it! It is estimated that the children will be born before the food stamps are exchanged.

Mrs. Gu refused to go to the hospital, and the other women thought it was okay because no one went.

Third Sister Gu: "Second Sister, tell me!"

Gu Yanni is from the city. When you have a baby in the city, you have to go to the hospital, right? It hurts so much, can I do it without going to the hospital?

Mrs. Gu refused to send her daughter-in-law to the hospital, so she ran over to check Zhao Peihong, "Sister-in-law, can you see if everything is okay? Many people have slow dilation of their cervix in the first pregnancy, which hurts all day and all night, and some people have pain for two days. Oh my god."

But in fact, Zhao Peihong's amniotic water had broken, and a lot of plant ashes were soaked.

Heping Niang was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Should we go to Yangjialing and call that female barefoot doctor?"

Mrs. Gu: "What can a young person like her do? Just look at her and give her a headache."

Heping Niang sighed. She knew that Mrs. Gu was worried about the few cents. She would have to pay [-] cents for the barefoot doctor to come to her home, and she would have to pay additional money for injections and medicine.

At this time, Xia Mingshuang squeezed in from outside, "Third sister, how are you?"

Sanjie Gu seemed to have seen a savior, "Mingshuang, it sounds a little scary to me. I said I should go to the hospital, but my mother wouldn't let me."

Xia Mingshuang wanted to go over and take a look, but Gu Yanni and Liu Xiaoxia were blocking her way.

Xia Mingshuang frowned, "What are you two doing? Start driving!"

Third Sister Gu stepped forward and pulled Gu Yanni away. She had no backbone when she was here and did not dare to stand up to Mrs. Gu. She seemed to have gained confidence when Xia Mingshuang came.

She doesn't know why either.

Xia Mingshuang entered the room. Although the dim oil lamp could not illuminate the room, she still saw that Zhao Peihong's face was red and big beads of sweat were rolling down, making his hair wet.

She hurriedly stepped forward and touched it, and her tentacles were hot!

Zhao Peihong has a fever!

"Peihong?" Xia Mingshuang held her hot hand. If the fever continued like this, Zhao Peihong's body temperature would become ice-cold, then hot again, and she would die after repeated several times.

Her clear eyes were even brighter with anger, "You want to kill her?"

She turned to Third Sister Gu and said, "Third Sister, go and call the Fourth Brother and ask him to borrow the donkey cart from the production team."

The fourth child was sitting in the production team with Old Man Gu and others. In winter, all the gentlemen like to get together and chat even when they are not working.

The third sister had previously called for the fourth child to come back, but Mrs. Gu wouldn't let her go, saying why would a woman call a man to give birth to a baby? She also said that men and children should not enter the delivery room. This is a rule from ancient times.

Seeing Xia Mingshuang forcefully meddling in her own affairs, Mrs. Gu's hands trembled with anger, "You, you unfilial daughter-in-law, the family has been separated, why are you meddling in it?"

Xia Mingshuang refused to quarrel with her, "Your daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby. Now the situation is not good and you say it's just a noisy matter? I think you are reluctant to spend money to send your daughter-in-law to the hospital!"

Mrs. Gu: "You, you... you are going to make me mad. You instigated Yunshan not to give me money, so why should I go to the hospital?"

Zhao Peihong on the kang: "I, I, yes."

Xia Mingshuang turned around and saw Wang Lanxiang poking her head there, asking her to pour a bowl of hot water.

Xia Mingshuang supported Zhao Peihong and gave her a few sips of hot water.

Zhao Peihong rolled her eyelids but had no strength to speak. She had been struggling for a long time, and then the labor pain hit her, and she screamed again.

After a while, Sister Gu rushed back from outside and said, "Mingshuang, the fourth child went to borrow a car and will be there soon."
