Reborn in the 60s and adopted

In the month since Pei Yanyan left, Tang Mei went to practice military boxing every morning. However, unlike before, her boxing partners were Tang Li and Wang Ran, who was always a little sleepy and reluctant to get up early. Time flies, and spring has arrived in the blink of an eye. The village has also ushered in the busy season of planting corn seedlings and harvesting wheat, and Aunt Tang's due date is getting closer and closer.

On this day, when Wang Ran and Tang Mei were parting ways in front of the Tang family's door as usual after school, they suddenly ran into Uncle Tang who was about to run out in a hurry.

Tang Mei looked at her father's anxious look, and was filled with confusion. She quickly called out and asked, "Dad, what happened? Why did you leave in such a hurry?"

Uncle Tang was extremely anxious. He didn't stop and said quickly: "Meimei, go home and accompany your mother! She has a severe stomachache and I'm afraid she is about to give birth. I have to go to the village to ask the midwife to come." Before he finished speaking, he had already run far away.

After hearing what Uncle Tang said, Wang Ran did not return home, but held Tang Mei's hand tightly and ran into the house together.

When the two rushed into the room, they were shocked to see Aunt Tang San, sweating profusely, her face extremely pale, lying on the bed in agony.

Tang Mei hurried forward and held Aunt Tang San's hand. "Are you okay, Mom? Are you in pain?"

After seeing her little girl come home, Aunt Tang San endured the severe pain, a smile appeared on her face, and she comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Which daughter-in-law doesn't feel pain for a while when giving birth? Mom can still bear it."

Tang Mei approached her mother nervously and asked anxiously, "Mom, is there anything I can do for you? Tell me, I will do my best!" Meanwhile, Wang Ran stood aside, watching Aunt Tang's painful appearance, and was also extremely anxious. He kept walking around the room, in a panic, not knowing how to deal with the situation.

Aunt Tang San tried hard to force a smile, and with the last bit of energy she had, she said to Wang Ran, "Wang Zhiqing, I'm so sorry to bother you to boil some water for me. Also, the scissors are in the sewing basket on the kitchen table. Remember to take them out and disinfect them with boiling water." Upon hearing this, Wang Ran immediately ran to the kitchen as if he had been pardoned.

Aunt Tang turned around and continued to instruct Tang Mei, "Meimei, go to the closet in that bedroom and find the clothes I prepared for my younger brothers and sisters in advance." Tang Mei felt a little relieved when she heard that her mother still had the energy to arrange things for them.

Tang Mei anxiously found the clothes and placed them neatly at the end of the bed. She stared at Aunt Tang San, and saw that Aunt Tang San's face kept changing like a chameleon, first as pale as paper, then yellow, then red, and finally became extremely pale; there were fine drops of water on her face, and it was impossible to tell whether it was tears or sweat. Tang Mei was extremely anxious, her palms were full of sweat, and her legs were shaking uncontrollably. Seeing that Aunt Tang San could hardly speak, Tang Mei tried hard to recall how people gave birth in the TV dramas she had watched.

That's right! If you have no strength, you should drink some brown sugar water to replenish your energy. Tang Mei suddenly realized and rushed to the kitchen, found brown sugar in the cupboard and poured hot water.

Then, she carefully brought the brown sugar water back to Aunt Tang San and gently helped her up.

"Mom, drink some water." Tang Mei said softly.

Aunt Tang was in so much pain that she could hardly lift her hand to pick up the bowl. Seeing this, Tang Mei gently placed the cup of water on Aunt Tang's lips.

"Mom, you must drink some water. Only after drinking the brown sugar water can you have the energy to give birth to a little brother."

Hearing Tang Mei's words, Aunt Tang San forced herself to cheer up and swallowed the sugar water in her mouth. She was extremely weak and barely uttered: "Thank you, my daughter."

After Tang Mei fed her the water, she saw that Aunt Tang San seemed to have recovered some energy at this moment, but she knew in her heart that this was only a temporary phenomenon and it would probably take some time for her to fully recover.

"Mom, do you want to wash your hair? I heard that you can't wash your hair for a whole month during the confinement period!"

When Aunt Tang heard her daughter's words, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but then her eyes dimmed again.

"Forget it, I feel so much pain that I can't even get up."

"It's okay, Mom. Just lie here and don't move. Stick your head out of the bed. I'll get you a basin of water and help you wash your hair." Before Tang Mei finished her words, she hurried to the kitchen.

Not long after, Wang Ran came in with a basin of water following closely behind Tang Mei.

"Sister-in-law, let me wash your hair." Wang Ran said as he helped Aunt Tang San up without hesitation, laid her sideways on the bed, and let her head rest on the edge of the bed.

Seeing this, Tang Mei hurriedly brought a small stool and placed it under Aunt Tang's head. Then, she worked with Wang Ran to carefully help Aunt Tang wash her hair.

After finally washing her hair, Uncle Tang San still hadn't returned yet, and Aunt Tang San's labor pains became more frequent. Tang Mei quickly wiped her mother's wet hair and removed the sheet that was originally placed underneath. Fortunately, the dry straw underneath didn't need to be replaced, saving a lot of effort.

"Mom, don't be afraid, I will always be with you. Please lift your feet up." Tang Mei comforted her softly, while guiding her mother to curl up her legs, imitating the posture of pregnant women lying on the delivery bed during childbirth shown in the hospital on TV.

Suddenly, there was a loud "splash" and Aunt Tang felt water flowing out from her lower body. The pain at this moment was like a surging tide, one wave after another, and the pain was unbearable.

Faced with this situation, Tang Mei knew that her amniotic fluid had broken. If she didn't give birth at this time, the baby might be suffocated in her stomach without oxygen. Although she was filled with fear, she knew that she had to be strong and calm at this time, and she had to keep comforting her mother, otherwise her mother might not be able to hold on.

"Mom, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Please take a deep breath and exhale slowly..."

"Meimei, I feel like the baby in my belly is trying desperately to push out. Huh~Huh~" Aunt Tang San uttered each word with difficulty, accompanied by heavy breathing, as if she had exhausted the last bit of strength in her body.

Tang Mei had no experience at the moment, so she could only call Wang Ran "Sister" loudly.

Wang Ran came in with a basin of water, put it aside, took a piece of cloth and covered Tang Sansao's body, and said to Tang Sansao casually, "Sister-in-law, I'll take off your pants for you, so that it will be convenient for the baby in your belly to come out later."

"Hmm~" Tang Mei heard the voice almost squeezed out from between her teeth, and her heart became more uneasy.

So she trotted to the gate to see if her father had come back. The sky gradually became hazy. The gate looked far away, but there was no one there, so she ran back and continued to wait in front of Aunt Tang San.

"Mom, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, Dad will be back soon." Tang Mei didn't know whether she was comforting herself or her mother.

Just when Aunt Tang San felt she could not hold on any longer, Tang Mei put the bowl to her mouth again and coaxed her to drink the brown sugar water.

She felt like she had gained a little strength, and her stomach was pushing out.

Wang Ran ran in excitedly from outside, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, Brother Tang is back."

Before he could finish his words, Uncle Tang San came into the house carrying an old lady in her fifties or sixties on his back.

"Ouch, you little bastard, you're shaking me to death?" The midwife got off Uncle Tang San and kept muttering.

After she stood firmly, she went forward to check on Aunt Tang San's condition.

"It's okay, don't worry, Lao San's family. Your fetal position is very good. Just push when I tell you to. Tang Lao San, you go outside now. Take Tang Mei out with you. There will be a lot of blood. Don't let the child see it." The midwife instructed.

Tang Mei and Uncle Tang San went out and looked in through the window, waiting anxiously. They could only vaguely see the light from the kerosene lamp that Wang Ran had lit at some point.

"Push harder, yes, yes, push harder, good, good, push harder, that's it," the midwife's voice came from inside.

After a while, they heard a "wow" sound. Tang Mei and Uncle Tang looked at each other in surprise. It was the sound of a baby crying.

Two minutes later, Wang Ran was frantically holding the child at the door and called Tang Mei, "Meimei, come and see your brother."

Tang Mei walked up to look at the wrinkled little brother, and the tension in her heart finally disappeared.

Uncle Tang couldn't wait to squeeze in from the outside, shouting loudly, "Wife, wife, are you okay?"

The midwife's shouting also rang out, "Hey, what are you looking at, man? I haven't even finished cleaning up yet, what are you doing coming in?"

Uncle Tang scratched his head and said uncomfortably, "Wife, I was wrong. I just wanted to see you." Then, ignoring the midwife's shouting, he walked in front of Aunt Tang.

Looking at the weak daughter-in-law, I felt distressed. "Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work. We will not have any more children in the future. It's all because my son is so naughty."

Aunt Tang San looked at her head of the family and complained about her son and couldn't help but whispered, "You are not allowed to say anything bad about our son." Although she had only met her son once, it was a mother's nature that would not allow others to say bad things about her child.

Uncle Tang was also filled with joy at the arrival of his son, but looking at his weak wife, he couldn't help wanting her to smile more, so he coquettishly shook her arm. "Wife, you have a son but not me, no, no, you have to look at me more."

When Aunt Tang saw Uncle Tang showing off, she burst into laughter and felt that all the fatigue and weakness in her body was relieved.

The midwife saw the interaction between the two and smiled as she quickly packed up the umbilical cord and placenta in a bamboo basket nearby.

"Tang Laosan, congratulations on finally having a son. I have packed everything here and I will leave first." The midwife interrupted.

Uncle Tang put away his smiling face, handed the midwife two yuan and said, "Thank you, auntie, this is your hard-earned money."

The midwife happily took the money and took a look at it, then said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll leave first. You let your wife have a good rest and drink more brown sugar water, brown sugar millet and eggs to nourish herself."

"Okay, I'll take you out. By the way, I want to ask my wife what she can eat during the confinement period." Uncle Tang happily sent the midwife out.

Aunt Tang San's eyelids seemed to be pulled by some strong man, and she couldn't stop herself from closing them.

Wang Ran saw that Aunt Tang San was tired, and whispered to her, "Sister-in-law, wait for a few minutes and go to sleep while I clean up the room and the bed." Then he walked to Tang Mei and put the child in her arms while she was sitting on a stool.

"Meimei, hold your brother and don't move. I'll go help your mother clean up."

Tang Mei obediently held her little brother and sat on the stool, not daring to move. The little brother in her arms didn't open his eyes, biting his little finger and moving his mouth as if sucking milk. His cute appearance touched Tang Mei.

Tonight was a chaotic night, so there was no mood to prepare dinner. The family had to make do with what they had. The two new parents had no experience and didn't know how to take care of a child. Tang Mei could vaguely hear her brother crying while she slept all night.
