From farming to business

Su Cao stirred the charcoal fire in the lower stove, put down the fire stick, and lifted the lid of the small pot on the stove. The white fungus and lotus seed soup was boiling thick, with a few wolfberries and red dates floating here and there, which looked quite attractive.

He took the soup spoon and stirred it a few times, and then put the lid back on. This was stewed by Yu Feng before he took Chang Le out, and let him watch over it, so that he could drink it when his cousin woke up.

He took the half-sewed clothes on one side, bowed his head and continued to work, the weather is gloomy today, colder than usual, they bought some new cotton in the town yesterday, and the two of them sent it to their aunt today to sew a few New quilt.

The quilts at home have been covered for many years, and the cotton inside is not as soft as before, and the quilts are not warm. It is time to change them.

Squeak, the door of the main room was pushed open from the outside, he raised his head, and Su Yongyue was walking in with a thick cotton curtain, his chubby belly was sticking out, and his movements were a bit inconvenient.

He hurriedly put down the work in his hands, walked up quickly to support him, and placed him on the chair beside the stove, "Why didn't my cousin knock on the door, I'll open it for you."

Su Yongyue held his stomach and slowly sat firmly on the chair, smiled and shook his head, he has hands and feet, so why can't he do such a small thing, they are too careful.

Knowing that the other party was careful, Su Cao didn't say much, she turned around and went to the small cabinet next to her to get a bowl and spoon, lifted the lid and filled him with a bowl of hot white fungus and lotus seed soup, and handed it to him. He then said, "I've already had breakfast and lunch, drink it quickly."

The other party's body is now in the tenth month, it is difficult to walk, and he will be tired soon, and he will feel more and more, and he gets up very late every day, so they don't wait for others to eat.

Watching the man bow his head to drink the soup, Su Cao took the fire stick and pulled the hearth a few times, and two sweet potatoes rolled out with his movements. He wrapped it in a cloth towel, peeled off half of the skin and handed it over.

Su Yongyue took it and took a bite, the sweetness was just right for his current appetite, he licked his lips, turned his eyes to look at the hall, showing some doubts.

Seeing this, Su Cao knew what he was looking for, and said, "My brother-in-law and Brother Chang Le went to my aunt's house. Didn't I buy cotton yesterday, and send it over."

Nodding suddenly, Su Yongyue did seem to have heard the man say that when she remembered that she was drowsy, but she was sleepy at the time, so she didn't take it to heart.

He clapped his hands after eating the sweet potatoes, drank another bowl of soup, and refused when Shuang'er wanted to serve it for him. Now that his stomach is big and his appetite is small, he is hungry quickly, so he will eat it later.

Su Cao knew his appetite, so she didn't insist, she just picked up the clothes next to her, and said, "Cousin, help me see how the clothes look."

The clothes are not finished yet, but the general outline can already be seen. Su Yongyue reached out and touched it. It should be a cotton padded jacket that needs to be sewn. This size is estimated to be for Chang Le. He smiled and nodded.

On the contrary, Su Cao felt a little embarrassed when she saw the smile on his face, and put the clothes back on her lap with a blushing face. They have been married for two or three months, but they are still very shy.

Su Yongyue even smiled and bent her brows, stretched out her hand to pinch the other's flushed face, after being married and raised for two months, Shuang'er's body has also grown flesh, and now she is still soft when pinched.

He looks rounder now, but it's not soft flesh, it's swollen during pregnancy, his body is a dent when pressed, and his shoes are too big, even though the man massages his feet every night, they are still swollen badly.

He felt that he couldn't meet people in such a state, but the other party was still cute, so he would be a fool to kiss him on the way.

Thinking of this in his heart, the smile on his face couldn't be stopped, there are few men like Yu Feng, who can be gentle and considerate at this kind of time, instead of finding him troublesome.

Touching his stomach with his hands, he moved his body to change his position, but suddenly felt pain in his stomach, frowning, he patted it a few times, as if to comfort the fetus in his belly.

It's a month old, and the little guy seems to be unable to stay, and he wants to kick him from time to time, a little pain, like a broken breath, and it's not very uncomfortable.

He thought it was the same this time, but he paused and waited, but the pain came and went, to the point of being unbearable, and he unconsciously clenched the armrest of the chair.

"Cousin?" Hearing his unsteady breath, Su Cao, who was working, raised her head and was taken aback when she saw his pale expression, then moved her gaze down and widened her eyes suddenly, "Cousin!"

Without his reminding, Su Yongyue could already feel the wetness of his lower body, the amniotic fluid had probably broken, he took a few deep breaths, endured the pain in his abdomen, raised his eyes to look at his flustered twins, and grabbed him I want to hold my hand.

After Su Cao was grasped by him like this, he felt that his dazed mind calmed down a little bit. Now that he is here by himself, what will happen to his cousin if he messes up.

Thinking of this, he clenched his lips, held the other's hand instead and knelt down beside him, looked up at him and said, "Cousin, I'll ask the aunt next door to help call my cousin and the others, you sit properly and don't move around." .”

Su Yongyue nodded with a pale face, and clapped his hands to signal him to go quickly, he can bear the pain now.

This time, Su Cao couldn't delay any longer. Seeing that he could sit still for the time being, she got up and trotted out of the main room. She had considered that the other party's body was about to pass, and she had already found a midwife in the village. Just call someone.

But Su Yongyue can't leave people here, he can't go out for too long, no matter how urgent he is, he can only ask the folks next door for help.

There were a lot of miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, and he comforted himself to calm down, but his movements didn't stop at all, and he took off the latch with trembling hands, almost slipping his hand.

Unexpectedly, he opened the door in a panic and rushed out, but almost jumped into the boy who raised his hand to knock on the door, and the other party grabbed him.

"Cao'er, it's been so long since I've seen you, don't be so enthusiastic." Seeing the person clearly, Chang Le subconsciously teased him.

At this moment, Su Cao had come to her senses, she had no time to joke with him, and hurriedly said: "Go and call the midwife, my cousin is about to give birth!"

Yu Feng was standing by the side watching their young couple messing around, but when he heard his words, his face changed instantly, he didn't care about anything, and stepped into the door.

Chang Le, however, seemed to have been frightened stupid, and stood there with his mouth open. He was pushed and urged by Shuang'er before he realized it. After panicking in place for a while, he remembered something and ran away.

Only then did Su Cao turn back and enter the door, but saw that the man had already come out of the main room with someone in her arms, hurried to the bedroom, and told him to boil some hot water for preparation, he responded, and hurried to the kitchen , I feel more at ease in my heart.

Carefully placing the person he was hugging on the bed, Yu Feng turned around and sat down, stroking the other person's sweaty hair with his hands, and lowered his body to look at the pale-faced Shuang'er, "Yongyue, don't be afraid, I will be with you .”

The sweaty hand was tightly held in his hand, Su Yongyue felt a lot more stable in his heart, and the pain in his abdomen eased slightly, so he nodded.

The midwife’s house was not far away from them, and Chang Le ran fast again. When he came back, he felt that he was walking slowly, so he dragged the man’s wrist and took the woman in her fifties to run. When they entered the door, both of them were out of breath. of.

But at this moment, it was closed tightly, and there was no time to take a breath, so the midwife was pushed into the bedroom, and when she saw the man sitting in it, she slapped her legs, "Oh, my husband's house is not here anymore, hurry up and wait. "

"You don't have to worry about me, I'll stay here with him." Yu Feng shook his head, made room for her on the side of the bed, moved to the head of the bed, and helped Shuang'er to lean against him.

What he said was firm, the midwife really couldn't chase him away, and there was no time for her to hesitate now, so she had to give up, rolled up her sleeves and went to the bed, lifted the quilt and took off Shuang'er's pants.

Fortunately, when he called for someone, Yu Feng asked Su Cao to add another charcoal basin to the house, and now it is very warm, so there is no need to worry about people catching cold.

Since he could remember, Su Yongyue's most private place has not been touched by anyone other than himself and the man, and now the woman's cold fingers are pasting it, nervous and ashamed, his face is buried in the man's neck sideways.

Yu Feng held his hand tightly, lowered his head and kissed the man's forehead, helped him caress his stomach with the other hand, and comforted him continuously in a low voice.

What's going on inside, people outside don't know the slightest bit, Su Cao walks around nervously, at least some noises can be heard when someone else's baby is born, but the cousin can't speak, they can't hear anything, and they feel more anxious.

Chang Le tried to persuade him, but his expression was in a daze. He was a boy, how could he go through this matter, even watching the excitement.

The two of them were pacing back and forth, but Su Dezhi and his wife came in hastily at the half-open courtyard door, seeing them rushing forward to inquire about the situation.

"It's so cold, why are you here?" Seeing the two of them, Su Cao was a little surprised, and hurriedly went up to the woman's hand and supported her.

Liu Hefang patted his hand when he heard the words, "How can I not come here, you children, don't say anything, if the aunt next door saw you asking for a midwife, we might not know if the child is finished."

Chang Le quickly waved his hands and said, "We didn't mean to hide it, aren't we too flustered to remember?"

Waving her hands, Liu Hefang didn't mean to bother with them, she looked at the closed door and said, "How is it, how long did it take to get in?"

"It's been a while, but there's been no movement for a long time." Su Cao's heart is still uncertain, and her heart is still beating.

Liu Hefang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was someone who came here. She knew that there was no sound inside, but the birth had not yet started. She calmed down and asked again: "Is the hot water boiling?"

Su Cao nodded and said that it was burning, and it was probably already boiling right now, so it could be used anytime.

The woman felt a little relieved now, Su Dezhi next to her didn't say a word when he came in, his face was expressionless at the moment, and he was also worried after thinking about it.

"Quick, use some force!"

Only after the mood stabilized a little, the midwife's voice came out muffled from inside the room, and everyone immediately panicked, walked a few steps to the door of the room, but did not dare to go in.

Liu Hefang calmed down quickly, and asked Su Cao to go with her to the kitchen to see the water.

Chang Le and Su Dezhi couldn't help at all, so they could only squat aside and scratch their heads, worrying.

In the room, Yu Feng hugged Shuang'er tightly, put his lips on the other's forehead, murmured that it's okay, he didn't know if he was comforting the other party or comforting himself.

Su Yongyue's face was flushed due to exertion and pain, but his lips were chapped and pale. He took a few breaths and tightened his grip on the mattress.

"Okay, okay, that's it, work harder!" the midwife muttered, occasionally looking up at him, seeing the pained face twisted but unable to utter a sound, she felt sympathy in her heart.

Turning to look at the man who hugged him tightly, his expression was not much prettier than his, and he felt that he was lucky to meet someone who knows how to love others.

Su Yongyue felt that her body was about to split open, all her strength was exerted, the sweat dripped down her cheeks, and was wiped off by the man behind her tirelessly over and over again.

He didn't know how long time had passed, but he only vaguely remembered that his mother and Su Cao came in to deliver water a few times, and helped him wipe the mess on his lower body, only the temperature behind him was always supporting him.
