"Eat, eat." Xu Qing said, "this Squirrel Fish is really good!"
Hao Wei: "let's eat freely. Don't leave any leftovers. We can't finish it tomorrow."
Duanmu ring asked: "how to arrange tomorrow?"
Xu Qing: "eat noodles in the morning. If the weather is good, go to pay a new year's call. Eat dumplings at noon and hot pot at night."
Li Changting: to whom
Xu Qing: "shopkeeper Yun and Zhao Jian, I guess Li Qinshu and Qian Qian will come to pay New Year's respects to us, and Xu Tian should also come. We'll go out after they come to pay New Year's respects, but the weather should be fine. If the weather is bad, don't go. It's too dangerous."
Li Changting: "well."
Everyone eats ten dishes clean, and has enough to eat and drink. They take out mahjong and chessboard. Xu Qing and Li Tinghui play chess, and Li Changting play mahjong.
When the vigil was almost in the early morning, Xu Qing couldn't help pulling Li Changting back to sleep.
New year's Day is just a sunny day, the weather is too good, every family can not help walking out, new year's greetings, firecrackers, fireworks.
In the morning, everyone had beef noodles, while Xu Qing had chicken soup noodles which were not spicy. Not long after eating the noodles, there was a knock on the door.
The first one came to Xu Tian's family. They all paid new year's greetings to each other and exchanged New Year's gifts. Xu Tian was in a hurry to go to the next family.
Then Zhao Qiang, Deng Zijun and Li Qinshu also came. Not long after the three families left, shopkeeper Yun came with his wife and children, and even Zhao Jian came.
Xu Qing originally intended to let Li Changting pay a new year's visit to them, but everyone thought that Xu Qing was a pregnant woman, so they came by themselves.
Xu Qing moves to the yard to bask in the sun and watch Li Changting make dumplings. Li Tinghui, wearing gloves, makes a snowman not far away and pinches a row of snow rabbits of different sizes.
Towards noon, more than 200 dumplings were made and cooked in batches. The skin of dumplings was made into different colors with green vegetable juice, carrot juice and amaranth juice. Different fillings were wrapped with different fillings, and ten clean and disinfected copper coins were stuffed inside.
Xu Qinglian ate ten dumplings and ten copper coins.
"Did you give me a black box operation and let me do it on purpose?" Xu Qing squinted and swept around.
Hao Wei shook his head: "how can it be? Dumplings are all the same. If they are cooked in a pot, they can't be distinguished."
Li Changting: "and the dumplings are all in this basin. We don't have a chance to make the dumplings you choose."
When Xu Qing thought about it, he said: "I'm so lucky! Ten dumplings all in, this probability, this year my fortune will certainly burst
Li Changting echoed: "well, if you don't want everything to be successful, it's unreasonable."
After the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival, when the first month is over, the weather is still very cold, but everyone is already busy cultivating spring crops, and the shops on this side of the market are better, and they are starting to do business.
According to Xu Qing, there are less than 40 days left for production.
One winter down, she gained a lot of weight, abdomen, thighs and arms are growing stretch marks, sometimes feel itchy, sleep will accidentally scratch, red, painful and ugly.
At this time, Xu Qing couldn't help sighing every day.
Why not?
When will it be born?
I'm so anxious!
With 30 days to go before production, Duanmu Xiang began to give Xu Qingxing needles and massage the fetal abdomen, saying that it could produce faster and relieve some pain during production.
Duanmu Xiang taught her some techniques of massaging the fetal abdomen before. During that time, she was often constipated. Later, she stroked the fetal abdomen from top to bottom every day. Not only her intestines and stomach were unobstructed, but the baby in her stomach would interact with her.
Up to now, she can feel the baby's head and limbs by touching her stomach. Sometimes she will touch the baby's head unintentionally by holding her stomach.
Li Changting found all the midwives around Xinghu. After Duanmu Xiang asked, he left the most stable and experienced one.
Ten days later, the midwife moved directly to the fourth room on the first floor, ready to deliver the baby.
It was chilly, and there was a heavy snow outside. A plum blossom blossomed quietly outside overnight.
Li Changting went to fold some plum blossoms and came back to show them to Xu Qing. Smelling the fragrance of the flowers, Xu Qing's mood also improved.
After nine months of pregnancy, she sometimes felt uncomfortable sitting and lying down. She wanted to give birth to the meat in her stomach.
"Don't worry, we'll have a baby soon." Seeing Xu Qing's impatience, Li Changting gently soothed him.
Xu Qing's mood now is that it's a knife to stretch his head and it's a knife to shrink his head. It's better to die early than to live early.
Li Changting: "eat something at noon and sleep in the afternoon. You didn't sleep much last night."
Unfortunately, Xu Qing didn't have much appetite. At noon, she just drank a bowl of porridge. As a result, when a bowl of porridge came down, she felt that her stomach fell down. But after running to the toilet twice, she didn't pull anything out.
She had a premonition that she was going to have a baby soon. Sure enough, not long after that, her abdomen began to ache.Duanmu ring to her pulse, is sure to be born, but not so fast.
"It's labor pains. It may last for several hours. Let the midwife watch." Duanmu explained.
"Does it hurt?" Li Changting asked.
"Bullshit, of course it hurts! It's just a lot of pain. " As a modern man, Xu Qing still knows what labor pains are.
However, Xu Qing was happy to have a baby. She comforted Li Changting and said, "the amniotic fluid is not broken. It's too early to want to live."
The midwife came to check and calmly said, "it's still early. It's estimated that she won't be able to give birth until evening. If she can sleep, she can sleep for a while to maintain her physical strength."
Then the midwife went out and said, "you can cook a pot of lean meat porridge. Don't be too greasy. If you have milk, get ready."
Hao Wei: "yes, I'll prepare."
The midwife also went to have a rest. Xu Qing and Li Changting were left in the room. After the pain, Xu Qing was chatting with Li Changting. One of her former colleagues gave birth to a baby. After two days of labor in the hospital, she was so upset that she went straight to the operating table for a caesarean section.
"Caesarean section is to make a cut in the stomach and take out the child?" Li Changting's face is a little white.
"Yes, you peel two oranges for me."
The sweet and sour oranges make Xu Qing feel comfortable, and he can't help shaking his legs.
"Tell me more about your side." Li Changting wants to divert her attention. "Do you work in a restaurant and get a high salary of 58 a month?"
"It's high in a small city, but in my city, after paying the rent, water, electricity, gas and telephone charges, the rest can only solve the problem of food and clothing. So I later drove a live broadcast to cook, otherwise I was too poor to afford a car, so I was too competitive, and there were too many people who were more capable than me."
