When Aunt Guo saw Lu Qiuniang like this, she knew that it was just a matter of emotional pain and depression, which hurt her internal organs. It was not a big problem, so she said: "Madam of the Yang family! It will be better if you think more openly about everything. Just now, Doctor Zhang took a pulse, and you are now
You are also going to be a mother. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about the Yang blood in your belly. Before leaving, Dr. Fang specially asked..."
So Aunt Guo babbled slowly and slowly told her what Doctor Zhang had told her, and repeatedly told her not to do stupid things again, so that she could be worthy of her child's father. After she came out, she was still worried, so she gave a few special instructions.
The women each found some excuse and walked around Lu Qiuniang's room frequently when they had nothing to do. They believed that after a period of time, they would completely give up their will to die.
Time flies, from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, the weather has become a little cooler. On the day of the beginning of autumn, some mountain breezes carry heat waves and slowly move up the clear streams and deep valleys, leaving the hot air in the woods and thatched cottages.
The villagers in the middle had to come out, sit on the bluestone under the tree to enjoy the cool air, and talk about the allusions of old millet and rotten sesame seeds. Lu Qiuniang was holding her belly, walking carefully to the chicken coop in the courtyard, and put some
Scatter the unthreshed millet.
"Dr. Zhang said that the birth has only happened in the past few days, so why do you dare to run out? If you have anything to do, just call your sisters-in-law to help you. Why do you have to do everything yourself?"
Aunt Guo passed by and scolded with a smile.
"It's stuffy in the house, and sitting for a long time is harmful to the body, so I wanted to come out and get some air!" Lu Qiuniang explained a little embarrassedly, but she felt warm in her heart. From that day on, the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village often came to sit and sit.
, help cook some food, or sit and talk for a while, talking about the experiences of people who have experienced it, such as the method of walking and stopping, the method of sitting and lying, the method of conceiving a fetus... Some even bring some pheasants, mountain rabbits, and wild deer.
Such cooked meats were brought over to replenish her body. Lu Qiuniang also had a great appetite, and her food intake increased day by day, almost as much as a strong man.
Early the next morning, Lu Qiuniang was sitting up when she suddenly felt a feeling of incontinence between her legs, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Then came the slightest pain from her crotch, which made her take a breath: the situation was not good.
...While she was still able to move, she slowly moved to the door, opened the wood door and shouted: "Aunt Guo! Aunt Guo... I'm afraid I'm going to give birth..."
A woman was picking a basket of sunflowers and walking towards her hut. When she heard Lu Qiuniang's hollow cry, she trembled slightly, knowing that she was about to give birth. She quickly dropped the basket of vegetables, went over to help Lu Qiuniang back to the kang, and ran out to inform her.
Aunt Guo called two older women to help. Aunt Guo and others did not panic, quickly boiled hot water, found scissors, candles, linen cloth and other items, and began to work.
Guan Dashi, Niu Chong and other regiment training brothers still practiced every day at the valley school ground. After the practice in the morning, they heard that Lu Qiuniang was about to give birth. All the brothers were happy and anxious. They didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and they all gathered in the hut of Lu Qiuniang's family.
At this time, Zhang Xiang'er, the wife of Niu Chong's family, also came over with her belly full. After asking about the situation, she pulled Niu Chong back by his ears.
At the moment, the hut was full of gongs and drums, as if in a battle formation. Lu Qiuniang's moans were not loud at first. After all, it was her first time to give birth, and there was always some element of embarrassment in it. But later, although she was still consciously controlling it, she couldn't help it no matter what.
He let up his voice and started shouting. Guan Dashi and others stood outside, hearing a louder shout, and became even more restless. When it was almost midnight, Lu Qiuniang's voice gradually weakened, perhaps because she was tired of shouting. I don't know when the waves drifted in the mountains.
The rain began to fall, and the patter became denser and denser, but everyone was completely unaware of it and was still guarding outside the hut.
After another half an hour, a loud cry came from the hut, and a woman who was midwifery ran out happily, without even bothering to clean the blood on her hands: "I gave birth! I gave birth!"
It's a boy!" Upon hearing this, all the brothers in the regiment cheered. Guan Dashi was so excited that he ran to Yang Sanlang's grave alone, wiping his tears while telling him the long-overdue good news.
Accompanied by that loud cry, the shower outside the hut began to subside, and a long rainbow crossed the sky in the east. The clouds in the west were steaming, and the golden light from the setting sun split the chaotic red clouds into several pieces, outlining them into simple and mysterious patterns, more like
It was an undecipherable inscription on the bronze tripod, which was scattered after a long time. In the Taoist temple near Luoyang City, the Taoist practitioners all looked up and marveled at this sudden vision.
In the Forbidden Garden of Luoyang City, in the Ningbi Pool, the palaces, pavilions and terraces are located on the mountain. A red fox emerged from a hole halfway up the mountain. Its orange-red hair was illuminated by the sky, giving it a somewhat holy feeling. That
The red fox's eyes flashed with something special, and he watched the celestial phenomena for a while, uttered human words, and muttered to himself before escaping into the bushes to look for food.
Soon it was time to light the lamp, and Lu Qiuniang had woken up from exhaustion. On her pillow was a newborn baby, wrapped in layers of fine linen, with only a small head exposed, sleeping quietly. Aunt Guo had a busy day.
Zheng Zhi was leaning on the corner of the kang, snoring loudly. A woman brought crucian carp soup, and she was sitting on the edge of the kang blowing air, preparing to feed her to drink. There were several people sitting hazy in front of the wooden table outside.
Individuals, through the dim oil lamp, could not see very clearly.
The woman slowly finished feeding the crucian carp soup and then walked outside: "Madam Yang is awake!" After hearing this, people outside rushed in. Only then did Lu Qiuniang see clearly that it was Niu Chong and a group of regiment training brothers.
The old man Wang Tongru was also helped over. Since hearing the bad news half a year ago, the old man had been lying in bed for more than a month, and now his body and spirit are not as good as before. Guan Dashi shrank and hid behind the crowd, but he was still recognized by Lu Qiuniang.
He came out and said, "Is it Brother Dashi? My brother-in-law has something to tell you."
Guan Dashi had no choice but to walk to the kang, a little cautiously: "Brother, I would like to say congratulations to Sister Qiuniang!"
Lu Qiuniang held the baby in her arms and said: "My brother-in-law bumped into you a few days ago, and I want to apologize to you... This child's father has entered the underworld... Please ask Brother Dashi to give him a good name on behalf of his father. Brother-in-law."
Thank you in advance, brother!" After saying this, he lowered his head with difficulty as a salute.
Guan Dashi was both happy and sad for a moment, with mixed feelings. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Although I am a decent person, I can't read a few Chinese characters. Mr. Wang is here today, and I will definitely be able to give the child a good name."
The old man Wang Tongru didn't refuse much. He walked closer with a cane. He first asked about the specific time of the child's birth, then raised his trembling right hand and made some deductions before he said seriously: "I once heard his father say that you were in
We met one morning, and it was also a destiny of destiny, so we chose the word 'Chao' here. But the child was born when the sun was setting, so we had to use the word 'Xi'. Just now, the little old man was listening under the roof.
The baby cried loudly, and when he went out to look, he saw a vision from the sky! I thought that this child must have extraordinary bones, and he would become a great person in the future, or he would become a general or a good person, there was no telling! So the little old man thought about it again and again.
So I took the meaning of 'doing merit and virtue, working day and night' and called it 'Yang Chaoxi'! I wonder if the Yang family's intention is appropriate?"
"As my father-in-law said, this child will be called Yang Chaoxi." Lu Qiuniang bowed her head again and saluted, and then she raised her head after a long while.
At this point, this somewhat special baby officially has his own name in this chaotic world.
