Chapter 677 The Li family welcomes their daughter (1/2)

When the second sister-in-law gave birth, many little boys came to their house to watch, according to the custom of Dandan Island.

At that time, if a boy was born, the host family would take out a lot of candy and sprinkle it directly for these little boys to grab.

This thing is the same as the fact that you must find a boy to roll around on the bridal bed before using it.

But this time the delivery time was really too long, and some little boys fell asleep directly on their parents' backs.

"When will it come out? We have been waiting from morning to afternoon." Several little boys waited impatiently.

Some parents said, "You go home first. When the time comes, we will call you over when we are ready to spread the sweets."

Some neighbors also said worriedly, "It has been so many hours since yesterday. Why hasn't it come out yet? Why is it taking longer than Yanyan from the old Lu family?"

"So, whether the childbirth is smooth or not has nothing to do with the size of the butt. Shanshan was so thin at the time, giving birth was just like pooping. She didn't even scream, and she was born directly."

"When my mother gave birth to me, it was already the sixth child. I heard that she had a stomachache that day and gave birth directly in the cowshed. She even cut the umbilical cord herself after giving birth."

"It's been so long, it can't be a difficult labor, it's said that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for women."

After hearing this, Zhang Guifen, the aunt who came to help, glared at the man angrily: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, if you can't speak, don't speak, no one thinks you are dumb."

At this moment, Li Yaoguo was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, neither sitting nor standing. He hadn't slept since last night. He hadn't closed his eyes since last night, and he had dark circles under his eyes.

He knew his wife best. Even though she was strong, she could kill him with a slap.

But when she gave birth to Li Haoran, she was in excruciating pain, but people said that the second child would be smoother.

But this didn't feel smooth. This midwife was the best in the whole Dandan Island, but every time she brought out the basin, she kept muttering, saying that the baby ate too well, the baby's head was too big, and it was not easy to give birth.

Every time he saw the big basin of blood-stained gauze, Li Yaoguo felt like a knife in his heart. Now he hoped most that the mother and daughter could be safe.

Li Duoyu, who had just returned home, didn't care about taking a shower and went straight to his second brother's house to help. But men like them really couldn't help with things like giving birth.

Old Li stood in the corner smoking the whole time. Apart from being responsible for boiling water, he couldn't help with anything.

Only Sister Shuihua and A Niang were helping in the bedroom, and Zhou Xiaoying could only wait there.

Although caesarean sections have been available in this era, only hospitals above the county level in Rongcheng can perform this operation.

But in this era, the taboos of the elderly against caesarean sections are as fierce as tigers, and a series of examinations are also required for caesarean sections.

From the current point of view, it is 100% too late, after all, caesarean sections still require disinfection, anesthesia, etc.

A series of examinations must be done in advance, but as the second sister-in-law's screams became weaker and weaker, the midwife shouted.

"Come on, try harder!"

"You are so big, you should be very strong. Let's try harder, and it will come out soon."

Li Duoyu also became anxious, which reminded him of his previous life, when Zhou Xiaoying also had a difficult birth and gave birth to the child after a whole day.

At that time, I was not by her side, and I thought how uncomfortable it would be.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but hold Zhou Xiaoying's hand, but found that her palms were full of sweat.

Zhou Xiaoying's ears turned red, and she immediately shook off his hand and glared at him. Her expression seemed to say: So many people are watching, aren't you ashamed?

"You stink, go back and take a shower. Have you eaten? There's some food in the refrigerator, you can heat it up yourself."

"I've eaten on the boat."

Xiaoying's relationship with her second sister-in-law is not that good, and it can be seen that she suffered so much, but she was still so nervous that her palms were sweating.

Li Duoyu also felt that it would be better to do something than to stand here and do nothing.

It was also a record for the second sister-in-law. All he could think of was to lose face and call County Magistrate Tao.

See if a senior obstetrician can be sent over to prevent accidents. At that time, even in the worst case, there is a "save the eldest" option.

But when Li Duoyu was about to go to Qixing Bay to make a call, followed by a long shout from the second sister-in-law.

There was a faint cry of a baby in the room. After hearing this sound, Li Yaoguo jumped up on the spot with excitement.

The first thing she did was to come to the door of the room and ask directly, "Mom, can I come in now?"

After a while, the person who opened the door was the midwife, who looked very tired, after all, she had been in the room for nearly fifteen or sixteen hours.

"You can come in."

But from the midwife's expression, everyone could guess whether it was a boy or a girl. There is a custom here, that is, if a boy is born, an extra red envelope is given, and after the child is born, the midwife will shout very loudly.

And she will take the candies prepared by the host family in advance and scatter them directly outside for the little boys to grab.

But if a girl is born, there will be no extra red envelopes, so every time after the delivery, as long as it is a girl.

The midwife's face will not be particularly good, and she herself will feel unlucky.

Because if there are more girls delivering babies, the villagers' evaluation of her will naturally become worse. Some people will say that if she is asked to deliver babies, it will definitely be a girl.

Li Duoyu remembered clearly that when Zhou Xiaoying gave birth to little Tutu, she had already found a stable woman, but because of this stable woman, all the babies she delivered were girls in those two months.

A-Niang had temporarily replaced someone and did not ask her to help deliver the baby. However, Xiaoying gave birth to a boy, so this kind of thing became more and more bizarre the more it spread.

Li Duoyu feels that this thing is actually just like mahjong. Unless you use high technology, no one can be sure that you will get good cards every time.

Seeing this steady woman swearing, Li Duoyu must have guessed that neither her mother-in-law nor her second sister-in-law gave her any extra red envelopes.

Just as she was leaving, Li Duoyu stuffed her with a small red envelope.

"Thank you for your hard work. It took a long time this time. I'll pay you for your hard work."

After the midwife received the red envelope, she couldn't stop smiling, and she was so polite in her words.

"Mr. Li, there's no need to be so polite. This is what I should do." That's what she said, but the red envelope had already been put into her pocket.

In the room, the baby had been cleaned after birth and wrapped in a thick cotton blanket.

After the baby came out, her eyes were still closed and her hair was wet with sweat. Zhu Xiuhua said aggrievedly: "I had such a hard life and it hurt so much that it hurts so much, yet it's still a girl."

Li Yaoguo smiled and said: "Both boys and girls are the same. A thousand dollars is not good. With this child, our family will definitely make a lot of money in the future."

Zhu Xiuhua made a sad face: "But what if the daughter of our family grows up to be as strong as me? It will definitely be difficult for her to get married in the future."

After hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent, because this seemed to be true.

This child weighed 7.8 pounds when he was born, which is a lot bigger than other children. He must have inherited Zhu Xiuhua's body shape.

In this era where marriage is given priority if you work more, it's really hard to find a partner.

Li Yaoguo smiled and said: "When the time comes, we will also follow Lao Lu's example and directly send a boat and a suite. When the time comes, everyone may rush to get it."

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });

Auntie snorted: "Don't just start drifting after making some money. There are many fish that are not as drifting as you."

But after learning that Li Yaoguo also gave birth to a girl, the happiest person in the entire Dandan Island was Lao Lu. The smile on his lips was so uncontrollable that he almost felt like setting off firecrackers.

"I've told you, what year is this, more girls are born on our island this year, but you still don't believe it."

Lao Jin, the neighbor who butchered pigs, couldn't bear to see his virtue and snorted coldly:

"I have a boy. Yaoguo calls it both sexes. If your second child is a girl, you will really lose money."

"Stop talking nonsense over there. Do you want to fight?"

Lao Jin yelled back on the spot: "Who is afraid of whom? If you dare to come over, I will kill you like a pig."

Several neighbors nearby shook their heads when they saw the two of them quarreling. They were obviously just two squibs, but they behaved very fiercely all day long.

After the child was born, Li Duoyu said to his second brother: "During this period, you don't have to go to the company every day. You can spend time with your wife and child."

Grandma, who was bringing hot water to wipe the second sister-in-law's body, said: "No need to accompany me, I will do the confinement. One chicken every two days, I guarantee that both mother and daughter will be fat and healthy."

Zhu Xiuhua in the room heard this and shouted on the spot: "Mom, that's not what you told me last month, wasn't it one per day? You can't be too partial. Your own daughter only has one per day. As my daughter-in-law, Just one in two days.”

Hearing such a loud voice, Li Duoyu and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud. The familiar second sister-in-law was back again.

A Niang sighed. During the delivery, what the steady woman talked about the most was how she could eat so well. The baby in her belly was too big and it was difficult to deliver the baby.

"Okay, okay, if you can afford it, I'll give you a whole chicken every day."

The second sister-in-law then shouted: "You have to keep the chicken gizzards and chicken loins for me. I want to use them to cook rice noodles."

Chen Huiying was speechless. The reason why Shuihua gave her a chicken every day during her confinement period was because she was bullied too badly at her husband's family.

Neither of the two children had a good confinement period before. As a mother, of course it was not comfortable for me, so I gave her a good confinement period.

But when Shui Hua was in confinement, she had only one chicken every day, but she mostly drank chicken soup, and the chicken and chicken offal were eaten by her family.

But my daughter-in-law is different, she will really eat the whole chicken for you.

Chen Huiying sighed, forget it, just let her go if you want to eat.

After the second sister-in-law gave birth to the baby, Li Duoyu went home and took a bath. By the way, he brought some shredded grilled squid cooked on the boat for little Tutu to eat.

This guy doesn't eat serious meals, and his mouth can't stop eating small snacks like this.

"Dad is still the best to me. What is this? Why is it so delicious?"

"Grilled squid strips."

But just after little Tutu took a few bites, Zhou Xiaoying took it away and said to the father and son seriously: "From now on, this thing can only be eaten with rice, not as a snack. Do you hear me?"

After that, she also said to Li Duoyu seriously: "In the future, don't always bring this kind of snack home. It makes the child unwilling to eat properly now."

Li Duoyu smiled and suddenly changed the subject: "Wife, your period hasn't come yet."

Zhou Xiaoying nodded.

"So I'm pretty good. I got it done in two months." Li Duoyu's face was full of smiles. It's been almost a month since she had her period. It seems that this thing is almost certain.

"By the way, have you told A Niang?"

"No, isn't this my second sister-in-law in confinement? I plan to tell A Niang after she finishes her confinement."

"That's right."

It's impossible to say that A Niang is not partial. If she knew that Zhou Xiaoying was pregnant, I guess my second sister-in-law wouldn't do so well.

If the second sister-in-law feels that it is unfair, the family will definitely be in chaos for a while.

But Zhou Xiaoying suddenly became nervous: "What if I can't give birth, what should I do?"

"Why don't we go to the hospital to give birth, and I'll find you a VIP delivery room."

"What is VIP?"

"It means VIP."

"Then will it be less painful after we move into the VIP delivery room?"

Li Duoyu scratched his head and laughed, "I don't know."

At this time, Chen Jianghe came to Li Duoyu's house with a bottle of sorghum wine.

Li Duoyu looked at Secretary Chen curiously. What kind of wind was this? He was usually stingy, but he was willing to bring wine and shouted, "Director Li, let's have a couple of drinks?"

"Finally transferred back?"

Chen Jianghe said, "How is it possible? I love Dandan Island so much now. Even if the leader transfers me back, I won't leave."

Li Duoyu was even more confused.

Chen Jianghe didn't keep it a secret and said quickly: "It's like this. During the two days you were away, the city's power and post and telecommunications departments came to our village, and I received them."

"They said that they just wanted to inspect the cables, and then they would bring a set of telephone lines to our island. The higher-ups asked me to count how many households on our island wanted to get a telephone."

So that's it. Li Duoyu understood instantly, but he couldn't figure it out.

When the submarine cable was first built, Li Duoyu actually proposed to build the communication line at the same time.

But at that time, the higher-ups directly rejected it on the grounds that the cost was too high and there were too few people using telephones on Dandan Island.

But this time the agreement was too sudden, and it was still two core departments working together. There were only a few people in the whole Rongcheng who could bring these two departments together to work.

After all, this kind of cable laid in the sea needs to be specially processed, and it cannot be produced domestically, and all must be imported from the island country.

By then, the laying and maintenance team will also be from the island country, and the cost is really very high.

The most important thing is that for such a large project, ordinary leaders really can't make the decision, and the leader must sign and agree in the end.

What Li Duoyu is puzzled about is that the behavior of the superiors has been a bit strange recently, as if they can't wait to give him all the benefits in a short time.

This makes him vaguely uneasy, and he feels that there should be changes in the superiors. In his previous life, Li Duoyu read quite a lot of official novels.

All kinds of signals seem to tell Li Duoyu that the superiors are going to change drastically. Often when such things happen, there will definitely be a group of people who disappear completely from the political arena.

Li Duoyu sighed. Although he is very close to them, fortunately he is not in the circle.

As long as he becomes bigger and stronger, then even if the situation changes, it may not affect him, so he still has to accelerate development in the next two years.

Li Duoyu said: "We must have a telephone at home. When the new dock is completed, I will also have one there."

Chen Jianghe quickly poured a glass of wine for Li Duoyu: "When the time comes, will you go to talk to your uncle and uncle San, or will I go?"

"You should go. If I go, I might end up paying for it." (End of this chapter)
