The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Jiang nodded.

"Yes, her parents are still alive. Even if your aunt wants to do something, she has to go through them. We can talk about the future later."

After saying that, he collected the dishes and went to the backyard.

As soon as Jiang left, Song Yuntang suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen. The pain was a bit like dysmenorrhea, but it was not too strong at the moment.

"Jinshu!"

Jinshu hurried forward.

"County Master, what's wrong with you?"

Song Yuntang's face was slightly nervous. "Hurry up and tell the midwife to set up the delivery room and prepare all the necessary items for the birth."

Jinshu saw her covering her lower abdomen.

"Is the county lady about to give birth?"

Seeing her nod, Jinshu asked her to sit on the chair and not move, and then trotted to the backyard.

"Mrs. Zheng, Aunt Zhu, hurry up and set up the delivery room. The county lady is about to give birth!"

This shout startled almost everyone in the yard. Even people outside the yard heard the noise and ran over to see what was going on.

It happened that Xu Qingye came out of the room after writing a reply letter and handing it to Guiping.

Hearing Jinshu's voice, he hurried to the main room.

"Tang'er!"

Song Yuntang looked in his direction.

"Xu Qingye, my stomach is starting to hurt. I might be giving birth."

There was worry in Xu Qingye's eyes, but he still tried his best to calm her down.

"Don't be afraid, I'm with you."

Jiang had just put the bowl on the stove when she heard the noise. She was worried that Song Yuntang might have an accident while he was alone in the main room, so she quickly wiped her hands on her apron and went to the main room.

Seeing Xu Qingye there, he hurriedly said, "Help Tang'er into the house quickly."

"There's no need to be so anxious." After the pain subsided, Song Yuntang looked at Xu Qingye and said, "Go and get the clothes I left at the bedside. I'm going to take a shower first."

He turned and looked at Jiang again.

"Mom, I want to eat noodles tonight."

"Hey, as long as you want to eat, mother will make it for you." Jiang looked at Xu Qingye, "You just stay here with Tang'er, mother will go get her some clothes."

She had given birth before and knew that the first child would not be born so quickly.

But her daughter-in-law couldn't see clearly at the moment and there was no one by her side, so she was not at all worried.

Xu Qingye nodded and looked outside the house.

"Guiping, please go to the county town immediately and go to the clinic to notify Doctor Zhou to come over."

Guiping replied yes and turned to leave.

Xu Qingye looked at his wife in his arms.

"How does Tang'er feel now?"

Song Yuntang looked at his cautious expression and smiled, "Don't be nervous, my stomach has just started to hurt, but I can still bear it for now."

Xu Qingye took her into his arms.

"After the baby is born, your eyes will be cured, and I will be relieved then."

Knowing that he was worried about himself, Song Yuntang smiled faintly.

She tugged at his clothes around his waist and rested her head on his chest.

"I was originally afraid of giving birth, but when I thought of you, I wasn't so scared anymore." She looked up at the man's face, "Xu Qingye, if I don't make it, you must raise our child well and don't blame him."

Hearing this, Xu Qingye frowned, as if his heart was being gripped by something and he couldn't breathe.

"Tang'er, don't talk nonsense. We have made so many preparations in advance, we will definitely be able to get through this."

Jiang quickly brought Song Yuntang's clothes, and while the contractions were over, Song Yuntang took a bath with Jinshu's help.

After bathing, the contractions became more frequent and more intense than before.

The weather was already hot, and after just a moment, he broke out in a sweat. "Jinshu, hasn't Xia Ning come back yet?"

It's already past noon.

She had practiced basic skills with Xia Ning for more than a year, and her physical fitness was much better than before. Although it was inconvenient for her to see during her pregnancy, she did not stop doing some simple exercises. In addition, she was always controlling the size of the baby. According to the frequency of the contractions, she was afraid that the baby would be born before dark.

Xia Ning is the person who has been with her the longest.

I had agreed with Xia Ning before that I hoped she would be by my side when I gave birth. Now that she is not here, I am still a little scared when I think about going into the delivery room soon.

"It's been a while since I left. I should be back soon." Jinshu comforted her, "Don't be afraid, County Master. Even if Sister Xia Ning is not here, I still have this servant by your side."

Song Yuntang nodded.

"Help me out first."

Xu Qingye was waiting outside the house. Seeing that Song Yuntang looked unwell, he hurried forward to support her.

"Tang'er, how are you?"

Song Yuntang just shook her head. She was afraid of pain to begin with, and now that the pain was coming, she couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Jiang Ma hurriedly said, "Help Tang'er to the delivery room first. Standing is a waste of energy, and you won't have the strength to give birth later."

Xu Qingye picked her up and carried her horizontally, striding towards the delivery room.

Although his face didn't show much emotion, only he knew how anxious he was in his heart.

If possible, he would bear the pain for her.

Xu Qingye placed Song Yuntang on the delivery bed that had been prepared earlier. After the midwife came over, she hurriedly pushed him out.

"It's not appropriate for a man to stay inside when a woman is giving birth. My dear, you should wait outside."

Xu Qingye originally wanted to stay, at least until Xia Ning came back before leaving, but Song Yuntang didn't want him to see him in such an embarrassing situation.

"You go out first and wait for me outside."

Just as he was hesitating, Jiang said, "Qingye, you should go out first. It's not right for you to stay in the delivery room while Tang'er is giving birth. I just asked your cousin to go to Lushan Village to call your father. He should be here soon. I and Miss Jinshu are still in the room. Xia Ning should be back soon too. Don't worry."

Xu Qingye held Song Yuntang's hand tightly.

"I'll wait for you outside."

A smile appeared at the corner of Song Yuntang's lips.

"Go."

After Xu Qingye came out of the delivery room, he didn't walk too far. He stood with his back to the delivery room and could hear almost every movement in the room clearly.

Every time Song Yuntang took a deep breath in pain, he felt anxious.

After the labor pains finally subsided, Song Yuntang looked at Jiang.

"Mom, you should go and have some rest too. After the baby is born, I'll have to take care of it. I'll have Jinshu to accompany me here."

Knowing that she felt embarrassed, Jiang didn't force her to stay.

"Okay, Mom will go to the intersection to see if Xia Ning has returned."

Song Yuntang turned around and watched her walk out the door.

"Jinshu, have you sent someone to notify the wet nurse?"

Originally, she wanted to feed the baby herself, but she also had to treat her eyes, which might be inconvenient, and she was not sure if she would have enough milk. So some time ago, she bought a healthy wet nurse from a pharmacy. The baby was born two months earlier than hers, and for convenience, she had already brought the wet nurse and her family of three to live on the farm.

When you go to the capital, you must bring it with you.

The capital is a place where all kinds of people gather, so it is safer to buy personal servants in your hometown.
