Chapter 474 Luo Meihua is about to give birth
"Hey, who knows if he is good at studying? I've seen Daxin many times, and he always mutters to himself. I still think Daxin has hope next year, but my son doesn't seem to be good enough." Zhao Qin said, shaking her head.
"Daxin will be twelve next year, and yours will only be seven next year. Why are you in such a hurry?"
At this point, Zhao Qin asked with a rare gossipy look on her face, "If Daxin can pass the exam to become a student next year, will you let him continue studying or let him come back to help with housework? A twelve-year-old can help with a lot of housework."
Gu Qingqing answered without thinking, "Of course he will study. I don't expect him to do all the housework. I hope he can pass the imperial examination and get a top score, so that I can benefit from it."
Speaking of the top scholar, the voice of the top scholar came from outside, and it sounded quite impatient.
"Aunt, aunt!"
Gu Qingqing listened to the voice, raised her head and responded to the outside, "I'm in the house, what's wrong, Daxin?"
As Gu Qingqing finished speaking, the heavy door curtain was lifted from the outside, and Li Xin ran in in a panic, "Aunt, we were just playing at the memorial archway, and we saw Aunt Niu calling the midwife to her home. I was afraid I was seeing things, so I ran over to ask, and it turned out that Aunt Meihua was about to give birth."
"What? Meihua is about to give birth?"
"Yes!" Li Xin nodded heavily.
Gu Qingqing was holding a pair of little tiger-head shoes cut out of paper by Yang Xing and looking at them. Suddenly, when she heard that Luo Meihua was about to give birth, her hands trembled and she tore the patterns.
"Did you hear that correctly?"
As Gu Qingqing was speaking, she had already left the chair. When she reached the door, she finally reacted and waved to everyone in the room. After saying "you guys are busy", she lifted the door curtain and walked out.
Everyone in the room looked at each other, and Lu Xiaocao looked at everyone and blurted out, "Sister Meihua is only seven months pregnant now?"
After she finished speaking, she ignored the people in the room and ran out immediately. Then her voice rang out in the yard, "Sister, wait for me."
The women in the room couldn't wait any longer, so they put down their work in a hurry and filed out.
......
"Qingqing, wait for me, don't walk so fast, take care of your body." Wen Wuyan's anxious voice sounded behind Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing didn't look back, but just slowed down her pace, "Wen Wuyan, Meihua is only seven months pregnant now. I saw her a few days ago and she was fine. How can she give birth now?"
Wen Wuyan caught up with her, supported her, and comforted her, "Let's go take a look. You are not feeling well, so don't worry."
"How can I not be anxious? Giving birth is like going through the gates of hell for women, and she's pregnant with twins, so she should give birth a month later than us. Even if it's hard to carry twins, she could give birth within a few days of me. There's no way she would give birth at this time."
Gu Qingqing was really anxious. They had always been good friends, and now she suddenly heard that she was going to give birth early, how could she not be worried.
Lu Xiaocao, who had followed her, also tried to comfort her, saying, "Sister, don't worry. Sister Meihua has experience in childbirth before. She eats more now than before, and she is strong. She will definitely be able to give birth smoothly."
"So good!"
In addition, Zhao Qin and the others who followed were also speaking rich words about plum blossoms.
Gu Qingqing was extremely anxious along the way. Now that she reached the door of her home, she suddenly stopped and took a deep breath, then rubbed her face so that no one could see her nervousness, and then she entered the yard.
Woo~ah!
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard her muffled moans coming from the west hall.
At this moment, Niu Yuzhu was pacing anxiously at the door of the house, but he didn't dare to go in.
As for Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang at home, they were all huddled at the door of the east hall, looking at Niu Yuzhu with nervous faces.
"Yuzhu, how come she's about to give birth? Who's in there now?" Gu Qingqing then saw that Niu Yuzhu was sweating profusely in the middle of winter. She tried not to look too nervous when asking.
When Niu Yuzhu saw Gu Qingqing coming, he seemed to have found his backbone all of a sudden, "Brother Wuyan, sister-in-law, you are here. Mother and the midwife are inside now."
"What's going on? Didn't they say that the due date is not here yet?" Wen Wuyan asked.
"Oh, this is all my fault. Meihua wanted to get up and go to the toilet early this morning. I said I would get up and follow her, but she refused to let me. It was all my fault that I didn't insist. Who knew that she would suddenly sprain her foot and sit on the ground after walking out of the toilet. I happened to see her in the backyard and hurried over to carry her back to the house. She seemed fine in the morning, but she said she had a stomachache after lunch..."
Woo~uh!
Luo Meihua's suppressed shouting was heard again in the room.
Gu Qingqing saw from the corner of her eye that Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang seemed to have been ordered not to leave the house, but after hearing their mother's voice, their little faces were filled with worry and fear.
"Daxin, take Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang to our house. Wuyan, you stay here with Yuzhu, I'll go in and take a look." After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she was not about to move, but was pulled by Lu Xiaocao who was following her.
He said in a firm tone, "Sister, you can't go in."
"Why? I'll just go in and take a look."
Lu Xiaocao stretched out her hands to block her way and said, "We have a rule here that when a woman is giving birth, men and pregnant women cannot enter. It's unlucky."
"Qingqing." Even Yang Xing and the others pulled Gu Qingqing and bowed to her.
After Lu Xiaocao finished speaking, she was afraid that her elder sister would worry, so she said, "Sister, you wait outside the door. I'll go in and take a look at the situation first."
"Qingqing, I know you are capable. Let's let Xiaocao go in and see the situation first. If everything goes well, we'll wait here. If the delivery is not going well, you can help find a solution, okay?" Wen Wuyan pulled Gu Qingqing and whispered in her ear.
Gu Qingqing saw Wen Wuyan's concern for her. She thought about it and felt that what Wen Wuyan said made sense. As long as Meihua gave birth smoothly, it didn't matter whether she went in or not.
Seeing Gu Qingqing nod, Lu Xiaocao turned and walked in.
"I'll go in and help too." Yang Xing, who is also the mother of two children, followed them in.
"Water, hot water!" Lu Xiaocao shouted towards the outside of the door as soon as he entered.
"Hey, here I come. I'll go right away." After Niu Yuzhu said that, he ran towards the kitchen, only to see Niu Zhanghe guarding the stove there.
Wu Fang and Zhao Qin were left alone, helping to bring water into the house and running around without saying a word.
Soon, Lu Xiaocao ran out of the house. She was afraid that the smell of blood on her body would offend her elder sister, so she could only say from a distance, "Auntie, Sister Meihua just ate a few eggs and is in good spirits. The midwife is now wiping her body with hot water."
Not only Gu Qingqing heard this, but Niu Yuzhu next to her also heard it, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the baby had not been born from noon to evening, Gu Qingqing became extremely anxious as she heard Luo Meihua's voice getting smaller and smaller.
Fortunately, Xiaocao passed the news in time, so Gu Qingqing could find out how many fingers were opened from the news she sent.
Then he thought of something and turned to Wen Wuyan and said, "Shengxi and the others must be outside the gate. Go find Shengxi and ask her to go home and bring the ginseng that Madam Shen sent a few days ago."
