Since November, Su Liang has never seen Gu Ling sleeping with his eyes closed. Every time she wakes up, he keeps his eyes open, sometimes staring at her face, sometimes leaning against her pregnant belly,
Listening to the children.
Last month, Gu Ling had successfully delivered babies for a horse and a cow. With one more skill, he could basically become a part-time veterinarian. However, he did not have the opportunity to practice caesarean section because he could not perform a caesarean section without necessity.
Forcibly cut open the animal's belly.
Early that morning, Su Liang opened his eyes and found that Gu Ling was not there.
But the next moment, he heard the sound of the door opening softly, and Gu Ling went out and came back.
Lifting the bed curtain, Su Liang stretched out his hand, and was hugged and pulled up by Gu Ling. This was already a habitual action, and Gu Ling liked it very much. He felt that Su Liang, who had just woken up and leaned into his arms, was particularly cute.
After washing up and having breakfast, Su Liang smelled an attractive aroma and saw Gu Ling bringing a plate of roasted sweet potatoes.
"You got up early just to bake sweet potatoes?" Su Liang was pleasantly surprised. These are not ordinary sweet potatoes, they are from Sujia Village. Previously, Su Liang sent people back to Sujia Village to check on the school, and at the same time gave some gifts to relatives and friends in the village, including Li
Zheng Subai, Gu Ling's carpenter master Su Dakuan, and Aunt Bai's family. The people they sent returned to the capital yesterday and brought back some specialties from the village, including pickles pickled by Aunt Bai, sweet potatoes grown by Uncle Bai, and dried by Aunt Bai.
Beans, letters written to them by Xiaohu and Zhuzhu, and a rattle made by Su Dakuan for their baby.
At that time, Su Liang recalled those happy times in Sujia Village. It was snowing heavily in winter when she went to Bai's house. The sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes filled the door when she entered. Uncle Bai's dark skin had a kind smile on his face as he came out of the kitchen.
Invite them to sit in the main room, then use a stick to push the charred sweet potatoes from the stove to the ground, put them in a bowl, bring them over, use chopsticks to crack the skin and break it into two halves. The inside is sweet and soft.
Melts in your mouth.
Last night before going to bed, Su Liang said that she would roast sweet potatoes to eat today, but Gu Ling got up early in the morning and started roasting them.
Gu Ling broke one open and handed Su Liang a small spoon to dig in and eat so that her hands would not get dirty.
Su Liang took a sip, and it was still hot, just like the taste in her memory. She couldn't help but sigh, "It may have been snowing heavily in Sujia Village."
Su Liang wanted to try some pickles, but Gu Ling only gave her a small, thin stick, and wouldn't let her eat any more. He also agreed to stew meat with dried beans given by Aunt Bai at noon.
After breakfast, Zheng'er came, and Gu Ling took out the roasted sweet potatoes that were still hot in the stove for him and Lao Mu to eat.
Lao Mu often looked at Nanfang and sighed recently. Su Liang knew that he was concerned about Lao Bai's safety, but in order not to make her worry, he didn't mention it in front of her.
Su Liang was also very worried about Lao Bai and Yuan Ying. It had been several months since they went to Yan State, and there was still no news. Things must not have gone smoothly, otherwise they would have come back long ago.
But if Lao Bai, who is the best in martial arts and poison skills, can't deal with Mrs. Yue's group, if he sends people there, there will be no return, unless Su Liang and Gu Ling go in person, but they really can't go now. And
They suspected that even if they went there, there would probably be no one there.
I can only comfort myself. No news is good news. Lao Bai and Yuan Ying are valuable to Madam Yue. They should at least be alive. Even if they fall into Madam Yue's hands, the poisonous woman will always come to their door.
Being so far away, there was no solution for the time being, so Su Liang didn't think too much and planned to give birth to the child safely first.
"Mr. Mu, I am the eldest disciple of the beautiful master!" Zheng'er puffed out his chest and said with a proud look. The uncle became the master, and the relationship became closer.
Gu Ling was not sure which of Zheng'er's and Ji Yuebai's sons was older, but since he couldn't see Ji Xiaobai for the time being, he assumed that Zheng'er was the oldest and decided that he would be the eldest disciple. Zheng'er was happy.
Lao Mu rubbed Zheng'er's little head, "Very good, defeat your master as soon as possible!"
Zheng'er said with a smile, "That's too difficult. Master is invincible, but I will work hard! I also have to protect my younger brothers and sisters!"
"Where did the sister come from?" Lao Mu asked. Wan Hui gave birth to a son last month, named Lu Zhengfeng. Zheng'er's name is Wan Zhengyang, which is his mother's surname, and Lu Zhengfeng is his half-brother.
As for whether Su Liang was carrying a son or a daughter, no one except her and Gu Ling knew.
"It's my sister in my aunt's belly!" Zheng'er said with a serious face.
Lao Mu's eyes lit up, "Did they tell you she was my sister?"
Zheng'er shook his head, "I guessed it!"
Lao Mu coughed lightly, "Okay, I hope you guessed it right."
…
This winter in the capital city of Qian Kingdom is colder than in previous years. However, after the successful renovation of Yuanming Pavilion, the courtyards of the Su Mansion were renovated, and floor heating was installed. Even the charcoal pots were no longer needed. Gu Ling also taught the method He asked Qi Yan to lead people to make similar improvements to the Qin family, Xing family, Lin family and Lin family where they needed it, especially for the elderly and pregnant women who were afraid of the cold, as well as those who had just given birth. Very beneficial.
The Lin family has been living in Kasyapa City in the south all year round. This is the first time to spend winter in the capital, and they are not used to it. After having the floor heating, they feel much more comfortable.
However, as the delivery date approaches, there is another problem. Su Liang and Gu Ling have never decided what to name their daughter.
Su Liang felt that he should pick it up in advance to avoid being given a nickname by others after he was born because the name was not yet decided.
"Little bamboo shoots don't sound good, Xiaozhu?" Gu Ling was still thinking about what happened on the island.
Su Liang didn't like it very much and asked Gu Ling to think about it again.
"Today is the tenth day of the lunar month. Let's name her according to the day she is born." Gu Ling thought of a simple solution.
Su Liang looked confused, "If I were born tomorrow, my name would be Gu Shiyi? Should I be so perfunctory?"
Gu Ling thought about many long-term things for his daughter, but he was worried about Su Liang giving birth and had no time to think about his daughter's name.
"Inappropriate." Su Liang objected, "It's not a bad name for some days, but have you ever thought about it, if she was born on the 18th day, should she be called Gu Shiba?"
They have a friend named Yan Shiba...
Gu Ling frowned, obviously forgetting about Yan Shiba, "Pretend I didn't say that." Even if he wasn't Shiba, calling him something else would sound like he was from Yan Shiba's family, which is not good.
"But where did Yan Shiba go? There has been no news for almost half a year." Su Liang sighed, "Don't get caught again. If it was Situ Xie's group who caught us and knew about our relationship, She should have threatened me with it a long time ago. Could it be that Yan Qiqi, who was still alive at the time, came to her again? If that were the case, her ghost would really linger."
The reason why he suspected that Yan Qi Qi came out again was because Gu Ling tried to contact Yan Yun Lou in the capital, but failed. I don’t know if it was because Yan Yun Lou’s killer disappeared from the capital after the original incident, or because Yan Yun There was turmoil inside the building again.
We can only wait until there is news.
"Both of our names are too cool." Su Liang thought for a while and said, "Choose a warmer name for your daughter?"
Gu Ling nodded, "Then let's call her Gu Nuan?"
Su Liang raised her eyebrows, "Not bad. There was a popular song in my previous life called "Nuan Nuan"."
As she spoke, Su Liang softly hummed the song that once echoed in the streets and alleys. She couldn't quite remember the lyrics, but the melody was still very familiar.
Gu Ling silently wrote it down and planned to play it to Su Liang tomorrow.
But by November 11th, Gu Ling had no chance to play the piano because Su Liang was about to give birth.
The baby was already full term, within the time range Su Liang expected. However, when she told Gu Ling that she seemed to be giving birth, she still saw Gu Ling's face turn pale.
Last month, Gu Ling, who calmly sat outside Lin Xueqing's delivery room, handed out sugar pills to the men of the Lin family and the Xing family, and asked Xing Yusheng how she felt, was no less nervous than Xing Yusheng at this moment.
However, Gu Ling had already rehearsed the steps of Su Liang's delivery in her mind many times, so after panicking for a moment, she forced herself to calm down, first put Su Liang in place, and then asked Qi Yan to quickly notify her family.
Po Wen is the old nanny next to Mrs. Xing. She has delivered all the children of the Xing family. She just delivered Lin Xueqing last month. She has rich experience. She moved into the Su Mansion three days ago and is on standby at any time. She will be here soon.
Already.
Zheng'er and Lao Mu were stacking blocks in the pavilion. When they heard that Su Liang was about to give birth, Lao Mu immediately stood up. Zheng'er jumped off the stool, and was picked up by Lao Mu and thrown on his back, and then flew away with him on his back.
Crossed the lake and arrived outside Yuanming Pavilion.
"Don't go up there." Cen Man looked serious and hurried in after saying that.
Zheng'er was still lying on Lao Mu's back, frowning, "Mr. Mu, it hurt so much when my mother gave birth to my younger brother. Will my aunt also feel pain?"
Lao Mu has never had a child of his own in his life, but of course he knows at this age that women who give birth to children have to go through hell. However, in order to avoid scaring Zheng'er, Lao Mu still tried to say it as tactfully as possible, "It's okay, she is a miracle doctor."
"Grandpa Lin said that doctors don't heal themselves." Zheng'er is now learning from Lin Shuzhi. It seems that he plays in the Su Mansion every day, but there are also two hours of study time. Occasionally, Lin Shuzhi will give him a day off if something happens.
Lao Mu coughed lightly, "That's true, but it depends on the person." Su Liang couldn't heal herself, but she taught Gu Ling her medical skills, which gave her an extra layer of protection.
Regarding the fact that Gu Ling would accompany Su Liang during the birth, he had made an agreement with Po Wen early in the morning. Mrs. Xing also told Po Wen that the rules of Su Liang and Gu Ling's family were different from those elsewhere, and everything was subject to their arrangements.
.
Nangong Qian rushed over. She didn't understand this and had nothing to do to help. She stood beside Lao Mu for a while holding the handkerchief, and then took Qiuyue back to prepare lunch for everyone.
Su Liang thought it was okay. She had just had a seizure and there was still some time before she was born. She asked Gu Ling to bring her a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and feed it to her to avoid losing strength later.
It's a pity, if only this world had anesthesia technology... Su Liang felt the pain of giving birth, thinking that the convenience and superiority in the previous life were still obvious. At least women can choose not to endure such terrible pain when giving birth.
.
Originally there was a stool next to the bed, and Gu Ling sat on it, leaning over to hold Su Liang's hand. But after all, he was a little taller than Su Liang, so he simply removed the stool and sat on the floor beside the bed.
Mrs. Wen was very helpful and prepared the delivery quickly. After checking Su Liang's condition, she said it was not yet time.
Then Su Liang drank another bowl of chicken soup. Today was a difficult task, and she had to get through it.
Po Wen couldn't help but sigh that Su Liang was the calmest and most sensible pregnant woman she had ever seen.
…
Lao Mu and Zheng'er were sitting on the first floor of Yuanming Pavilion, looking at the lake outside and the bleak woods beside the lake. They both had the same posture, holding their faces with their left hands.
Suddenly, Zheng'er rubbed his eyes, jumped off the chair, and ran to the window with a look of surprise on his face, "Aunt, beautiful uncle, it's snowing!"
I saw light snowflakes falling from the sky like catkins. There were not many scattered ones at first, but they soon became dense.
This is the first snow this winter.
For a region with a normal and moderate climate throughout the four seasons, the first snowfall is always a joyful thing. Unlike the Yan Kingdom, which has no snow all year round. Unlike the Liang Kingdom, which is tired of heavy snow covering the entire cold winter.
Su Liang, who was upstairs, heard this and twitched the corner of her pale mouth, "It's a good sign."
Gu Ling also felt that although it was just a coincidence, the day when their daughter was born had a special meaning to them because of the arrival of the first snow. From now on, every year on the first snow day, they would miss this day and the birth of a new life.
A painful and happy process.
Zheng'er ran out, but Lao Mu didn't ask him to come back.
Su Liang listened to Zheng'er's cheerful laughter below, imagining the scene of taking her daughter to play in the snow in the future, and felt more energetic. Soon, she would be able to unload the goods and complete this arduous task... Su Liang
At the same time, comfort and cheer yourself up.
After Qi Yan arranged things in the Su family, he ran back to the Xing family. Because Mrs. Xing had told her that Su Liang must tell her when she was about to give birth.
So, before Su Liang was born, Mrs. Xing, Xing Ji and Lin Shuzhi all came. Not long after, Mr. Qin also came in a carriage.
In addition to being worried, everyone is also looking forward to whether Su Liang will give birth to a son or a daughter, because this is a surprise for them that will be revealed soon.
Old Mrs.
Mr. Qin suggested that everyone might as well make a bet to see if Su Liang would have a son or a daughter.
As a result, the bet could not be established at all, because everyone hoped that Su Liang would have a daughter. Of course, this was based on the fact that Su Liang and Gu Ling had no elders, no family constraints, no task of inheriting the family line, and they never cared about the eyes of others.
Under the premise, everyone hoped it would be a daughter because they knew that Su Liang and Gu Ling did not prefer sons, so they just took it as they pleased.
"Master, please sing me a song." Su Liang felt that the pain was almost beyond the scope of her cognition, and wanted to divert her attention.
"What do you want to hear?" Gu Ling asked.
Su Liang was unable to think normally due to the pain, so he asked Gu Ling to sing a random song.
But Gu Ling couldn't think normally at the moment, and couldn't think of any suitable song.
At this moment, Su Liang cried out in pain, and Po Wen's voice spread, "Mrs. Gu is about to give birth!"
Gu Ling's strength was relieved in an instant, and her body and heart immediately became tense again. Her face turned pale. She held Su Liang's hand tightly and said, "I will never give birth again."
Mrs. Xing next to her was dumbfounded.
The time was getting longer and longer. Gu Ling looked at Su Liang's face filled with pain. Everything from the past to the present flashed through his mind like a revolving door. His eyes were fixed on Su Liang's eyebrows and he saw big beads of sweat.
, he raised his hand and wiped it away gently, and when he looked again, there were fine beads of sweat. Under the sweat beads was pale skin, without black mist.
Gu Ling prayed silently in his heart. All the people he had saved and the disasters he had prevented in the past were all for this moment. He hoped that the people he loved could be safe.
The baby's cry seemed to reach Gu Ling's ears from the horizon at the speed of light. This feeling was very strange... His eyes finally moved away from Su Liang's face, and he saw Po Wen holding a little baby with a smile, and then
He immediately looked away and looked at Su Liang.
Su Liang was still awake, his head was covered with sweat, his hair was soaked, his face was almost transparent, and he had exhausted all his strength. No matter how much he saw or listened to, it was time to experience it for himself.
Lai's experience was of no use, because under the extreme pain, the only thing she could do was to desperately regain control of her body so that the clarity of her mind would not be eroded.
"Do you want to cut the umbilical cord?" Su Liang asked Gu Ling in a weak voice.
This was something they had discussed a long time ago. Gu Ling said that he would cut the child's umbilical cord with his own hands, but Su Liang was a little doubtful whether he could stand up quickly.
"Yes..." Gu Ling finally remembered this matter, stood up from the ground, took a deep breath, and signaled Po Wen to hand him the sterilized scissors.
Po Wen handed over the scissors and told Gu Ling where to cut.
Gu Ling took a deep breath again, cut it off decisively, and then returned to the original position. Po Wen was handling the rest quickly.
Gu Ling held Su Liang's hand again and heard her say, "Congratulations to the great master on becoming a father."
"Congratulations on becoming a mother." Gu Ling lowered his head and kissed Su Liang softly, "Thank you." for everything you gave him...
The child was crying loudly upstairs, and everyone downstairs looked happy after confirming that Su Liang was fine.
Mr. Qin said cheerfully, "He looks like a strong boy!"
Lao Mu asked three times in a row, "Are you a boy or a girl?"
Zheng'er also asked, "Is she a sister?" He really wants a sister!
Finally, Cen Man answered the following question, "He is a daughter of a daughter."
Zheng'er jumped up happily, "It's my sister! I have a sister!"
