Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 217

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go! Oh! Jiang Xiubai, I'm telling you, if you pull the things away from me, I'll be furious!"

Jiang Xiaomi was holding a bunch of things in her arms, and Jiang Xiubai pushed her out by her shoulders. She was so angry!

"Oh! It's so annoying! I'll help you share some of the burden! Hurry up! I'm anxious!" Jiang Xiubai said as he took down one of the two jars in Jiang Xiaomi's arms, and almost sprained his waist: "Wa Qu, it's so heavy!"

Jiang Xiaomi: “…”

She didn't even have time to speak.

"Can't you just be quiet, Jiang Xiaobai?" Liu had just packed up her things and came out when she saw Jiang Xiubai making trouble again. She quickly took the jar from him and said, "Did I ever tell you not to do heavy work? This jar is almost knocking you to the ground. How dare you move it?!"

Jiang Xiubai pointed at the jar, then at Jiang Xiaomi: "She, she, she—hold two!"

So heavy, two!

Jiang Xiaomi, you are not a human being!

"What are you comparing yourself to Xiaomi!" Liu said subconsciously. When she came to her senses and looked at Jiang Xiubai, her eyes changed immediately: "Look at you, you can't even compare to Xiaomi! You couldn't compare to her before, and now you can't even catch up with her! How dare you not take good care of your body!"

Jiang Xiubai: “…”

He shouldn't have used his hands! Why was he helping to move the jars?

He is a man, but he is not as glorious as a little girl.

"Let's go! You're the one who's in a hurry, and you're the one who's dithering!" Jiang Xiaomi stood outside with her hands on her hips: "Remember to wear the outer hat! If you have a headache later, it's none of my business!"

Jiang Xiubai wore a knitted hat on his head, and a layer of cotton hat on the outside, providing 720° protection.

Because the journey was long and the wind was strong, they took back the harvester that had been used as a snowplow and rumbled towards Jiangjia Village.

Dafu drove the ordinary mule cart carrying Jiang Cheng and several villagers from Jiangjia Village, following behind the majestic harvester.

"Brother Mian is so pitiful. We have all gone home, but he is now ruling the mountain in who knows where!"

After Jiang Xiubai got in the car, he began to take off his clothes one by one because the harvester had heating!

We had turned on the air conditioner when we were harvesting rice, but when winter came, we forgot about heating. During the cold wave, we foolishly wrapped ourselves in quilts and made our way to the county.

"Those who are capable should do more work. Does my brother not want to go back? He can't go back! How can the mountain be moved without him? He is not like someone, someone..."

As Jiang Xiaomi was talking, she suddenly remembered that there was a Liu in the car. It was not good to speak about someone else's son in front of his mother.

"Speak properly!" Liu glared at Jiang Xiubai, then stretched her head and smiled at Jiang Suying and the others, "This child's words are really inappropriate..."

Liu knew that her son was used to speaking without restraint, but she didn't expect that he would be like this in front of Jiang Yipei and Jiang Suying. After all, they were outsiders, how could he speak like this about other people's children in front of their parents!

"It's okay." Jiang Suying also smiled at her: "Xiaobai is just joking. Children all speak in this tone. You don't have to take it seriously. They usually speak like this. You haven't gotten used to it yet!"

Children today are not bound by too many rules and they value freedom of speech, so they naturally say whatever they think of. They are not like the old days, when their elders had no taboos.

If you say something bad, you will be beaten. If you keep saying things like death or illness, you will be scolded at the very least and beaten at the worst!

Jiang Suying never used these rules to restrain her children, but if they dared to talk nonsense, curse other people's parents, and mention reproductive organs, she would give them a complete childhood, adolescence, youth, middle age, and old age.

You can make jokes, but you can’t be without manners, and you can’t be without family education.

Liu shook her head. She really couldn't get used to it. When these children got together, they talked as if they were fighting. Their tone was very excited and sometimes they were very loud, as if they were about to fight. She was so scared that she didn't know whether to stop the fight or not.

She felt bad when Xiaomi hit Xiaobai, but if Xiaobai hit Xiaomi, she would think this kid is a piece of shit! He even hits little girls! He will definitely be a wife-beater in the future!

Anyway, it's a dilemma for both sides.

But what she didn't expect was that after they finished shouting "Wow wow", they started laughing together, patting each other, and after a while they started discussing what to do next, and while they were discussing, they started quarreling again...

How does she get used to it?

It was hard for her to get used to.

Because Liu and Jiang Yiyu were there, Jiang Yipei and Jiang Suying didn't talk much. Jiang Xiubai was afraid of being nagged again so he didn't say anything. Jiang Xiaomi was the only one left. Even if she wanted to say something, there was no one to talk to her. The car suddenly became silent.

Liu herself also felt a little uncomfortable.

She felt that she didn't fit in with the people in this car. She would not have listened to Xiaobai earlier. She would feel more comfortable driving a mule cart.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Perhaps sensing Liu's mood change, Jiang Xiu leaned his head on Liu's shoulder and said coquettishly, "Help me find something to eat. The child is starving."

"Don't talk nonsense." Liu said angrily, untying the bag she was carrying with her: "Eat two dried plum and vegetable cakes first, and I'll make them for you when we get home!"

"No need." Jiang Xiubai took the cake and started eating: "Let's go to Uncle Pei's house to eat. There are only two of us in our family. It's too troublesome to cook!"

The tone was quite natural and matter-of-fact, as if Jiang Yipei's home was his home. Liu felt a lump in her heart when she heard it.

"How can you bother your uncle Pei every day!" Liu pointed at Jiang Xiubai's forehead with her finger and smiled: "You are shameless! Brother, don't listen to him."

There are only three people in the family, so two people is not enough!

"We don't need to be so polite." Jiang Yipei said at this time: "Let's eat at my house tonight. No one has lived in my house for such a long time, and it takes time to tidy up. How can I have time to cook!"

"Then...thank you, big brother!" Liu thought about it and agreed.

"Well, we are one family and we should not have different opinions."

After these words were spoken, Liu felt so upset that she didn't know how to describe it.

Big brother treats them as one family, and Xiaobai treats Big brother and his family as one family.

Although the boy's father follows his elder brother's lead, he still has a sense of propriety and has never thought of being on an equal footing with his elder brother.

But because of the delicate relationship between the two families, she and the child's father have never been able to find their place. They have a feeling that although the two families have a good relationship on weekdays, they are not really as good as a family. On the contrary, because of Jiang Xiubai's "taking the initiative", the relationship between the two families has become even more delicate.

To the extent that she is no longer as comfortable facing Jiang Yipei and his wife as before.

Before her eldest brother passed the imperial examination, she and Jiang Suying had the best relationship. Even after he passed the imperial examination, they still had a very good relationship. But after she went to the capital and came back, they began to feel distant.

Jiang Suying was a noble lady and a great doctor, but she was just a peasant woman.

Jiang Suying had no idea of ​​what Liu was thinking. Although she and Liu did have a good relationship in her memory, it was because of that that she would deliberately respond.

As Jiang Xiubai ate the cakes, the speed of the harvester increased slightly.

In front of them, a man riding a mule was galloping towards them. From a distance, he heard the sound of "boom boom" and was immediately alerted. There was another whip mark on the mule's butt.

When he got closer, he saw Jiang Suying next to Jiang Yipei in the cab. He quickly reined in the mule and waved in the middle of the road: "Uncle, Grandma, Third Uncle——"

Although Jiang Yipei and Jiang Suying could not hear what he was shouting, they recognized the cotton-padded jacket he was wearing. Jiang Yiyu had a bad feeling and quickly opened the window and asked, "Zhongcai, what's wrong?"

Zhongcai was extremely anxious: "Third Master, Third Grandma is having a difficult birth!"

Jiang Yiyu was stunned: "Sister-in-law?"

Jiang Suying's face turned grim: "What's the situation now? How long has it been since there were signs of dystocia?"

"Madame Cui said that the young master's head was too big and the fetus was in an abnormal position. She couldn't give birth, so she asked me to come to the county to find you." Zhong Cai looked at the sky and said, "I have been out for about half an hour."

"Brother?" Jiang Yiyu was completely panicked. His mind went blank and he didn't know what to do. He could only keep calling "brother" and "sister-in-law".

In this kind of weather, even if you ride a mule, it will take at least two hours to get from the village to the county, and four hours there and back - eight hours in total. It's hard to say whether you can endure it when you get back.

Doesn’t Aunt Cui know?

But why go find her?

That must be helpless!

The situation shouldn't get too bad in an hour, I hope it's still not too late.

Fortunately, they were persuaded by her daughter Xiaomi to come back today, otherwise, if they waited until Zhongcai found the county before setting off, it would be too late.

Jiang Suying said to Jiang Yipei: "Increase the speed a bit and turn on the automatic driving mode."

On this kind of road, speeding up and driving on your own is really not as reliable as autonomous driving.

After rushing for a while, we finally arrived at Lao Jiang's house in twenty minutes.

Qin's screams were drowned out by the roar of the harvester. When the harvester was turned off, Qin's screams reached everyone's ears, as well as Aunt Cui's panicked voice: "Legs... Why are the legs coming out?"

Jiang Yiyu's legs went weak and he almost fell down. He held onto the wall and rushed into the delivery room, but was stopped by Old Lady Yang: "Take off your clothes! They're dirty!"

At this time, Jiang Suying had already taken off her outer coat, put on a white coat, and walked into the medical city.

When Aunt Cui saw her, she immediately knelt down and said, "Grandma, I didn't take good care of Third Madam. I am guilty!"

The baby in Qin's belly had not yet entered the womb, and was about to be born. She thought of asking her eldest sister-in-law for help. Firstly, she was too advanced in pregnancy to go out, and secondly, her eldest brother and sister-in-law were too busy, so the pregnancy was delayed.

But she hadn't set off yet, as she received a pigeon message yesterday saying she would be back today. She thought that a day or two wouldn't matter, and she would feel at ease when her sister-in-law came back. But who knew that, by such a coincidence, she had to set off so early in the morning.

Because it was her second child, she should have been born much faster than the first one, but who knew that the baby would not come out for a long time. She couldn't even muster the strength to move even after sucking on a piece of ginseng. Her elder sister-in-law was not around, and her husband was not around either. Qin felt extremely sad and even less able to muster the strength.

"Sister-in-law..." Seeing Jiang Suying, she burst into tears: "I'm in so much pain, I'm so scared..."

Jiang Yiyu quickly held her hand: "Sister-in-law is back, it's okay, don't be afraid--"

"It's okay, don't be afraid. Let me check you first." Jiang Suying comforted her, took her pulse along her hand, checked the condition of the birth canal, and watched the little foot kicking clearly. After a few times, the frequency of the kicking became much smaller.

Qin's amniotic fluid broke, and if the baby was not born for too long, it would die of lack of oxygen. Jiang Suying stood up immediately, but Qin held her tightly and didn't have the strength to speak. She just shook her head slightly at her, signaling her - don't leave...

"I won't leave." Jiang Suying patted her hands: "I have a way to save you and the child, don't be afraid."

Qin's hand loosened immediately, and her tears flowed even more fiercely: "Save...save the child!"

Jiang Yiyu also cried hard. He wanted to save his child and his wife.

"The child needs to be saved, and you have to save him too." Jiang Suying thoroughly disinfected her hands and a pair of scissors and put on gloves: "Relax, everything will be fine. What's the name of the child? Have you named it?"

She spoke to Qin in a soft voice, but the scissors in her hand were merciless. "Click--" a big cut was made, and Qin just snorted softly.

Compared with the pain from the labor, this scissor was like a mosquito bite.

"The only way to save you and the baby now is for me to reach in and turn the baby's position. This process will be very painful. Can you bear it?"

"I can..." Even if I can't, I have to be able to do it. Pain is better than death.

"Good girl." Jiang Suying praised and asked someone to call Jiang Xiaomi in. This process was too painful. It was impossible for Qin to endure it by her own willpower. More people had to hold her down.

"Xiaomi is still a little girl, it's unlucky for her to go into the delivery room. Let me do it." Second Aunt Liu said. After this period of recuperation, her health has improved a lot. If she lets a grown girl go into the delivery room, what will happen if she is scared and dares not to give birth?

"It's okay, Second Aunt, I'm not afraid." Jiang Xiaomi changed her clothes and swam in with Jiang Yi.

Her mother asked her to come in, not only because she was a woman, but also because she was strong.

"what---"

Qin's voice was a hundred times more miserable than when they were just getting better. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her toes curled up hard but couldn't withstand the pain. If someone hadn't held her down, she would have really gotten up and ran away.

"It's almost there, just hold on a little longer!"

Although Jiang Suying has lost some weight during this period, an adult's hands can't be that thin. If an adult's hands are straightened, it will naturally be very painful. A child's hands are small, but it is impossible to let a child who knows nothing about medicine to straighten the hands, right?

Yes, you can give guidance, but do children know how to control the strength? If you are not careful, the child will be strangled to death in the womb.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Suying decided to do it herself, but the price was that Qin had to endure double the pain.
