Most men don’t know much about obstetrics. Seeing redness, opening fingers, breaking water, etc., sounds like a series of difficult Mathematical Olympiad problems.
Li Qinzai is no exception.
Although he had lived two lifetimes, he had never been married and had children in his previous life, and he had no idea about the process of a woman giving birth.
It was a very helpless scene. His mother-in-law was going through a life-and-death disaster inside. A group of old women and maids were busy, but as the husband and the closest person, he could only wait in the yard, unable to do anything to help.
.
He was nervous and scared. He had no confidence in the medical level of this era. Women basically did not hire a doctor when giving birth, but relied on one or two stable women to complete the birth process. If there was any problem in any link, it would be a serious problem.
Matters concerning human life.
To put it simply, only those with a tough life can survive, otherwise they will accept their fate.
Because of this, Li Qinzai felt scared.
As the old woman in the delivery room shouted, "My water has broken," it was like a machine was started inside and outside the delivery room, and everyone became busy.
The maids hurried in and out carrying hot water, and the old woman methodically brought clean strips of cloth and scissors into the delivery room. Cui Jie, who sounded relatively relaxed just now, was now crying out in sorrow.
Li Qinzai stood stunned in the hospital, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, staring blankly at the door curtain of the delivery room, his hands clenched tightly, not knowing what to do at this moment.
A small hand held him, and Li Qinzai lowered his head numbly. He saw Qiao'er staring at the delivery room with a fearful face. The expressions of father and son were very unified at this moment, and they were both at a loss.
"Dad, it's so painful for my aunt to give birth to a baby, why do we still let her give birth?" Qiao'er asked in a trembling voice.
Li Qinzai twitched the corners of his lips: "If she wasn't born, would it have been digested in her belly?"
After finishing speaking, Li Qinzai sighed, this joke was not funny at all.
"Dad, will my child also have babies when he grows up? Will it be as painful as my aunt's?" Qiao'er asked again.
Li Qinzai sighed and said: "Good boy, you don't have that ability, it's your future mother-in-law who will suffer."
In the delivery room, Cui Jie's screams of pain became louder and louder, and it was obvious that she had begun to have a seizure.
Seeing Qiao'er's frightened expression, Li Qinzai rubbed his head, held his hand and left the backyard.
Children are too young to see such scenes.
The father and son came to the front yard. Li Qinzai found a stone bench and sat down, saying: "As children and grandchildren reproduce, women have to go through this, it is inevitable."
"Precisely because women have suffered so much when giving birth, we men should be kinder to our mothers-in-law. If it weren't for our husbands, she wouldn't have to go through this hell."
Qiao'er nodded in understanding, thought for a while and then said: "If the child marries the mother-in-law in the future, she can be prevented from having children..."
Li Qinzai laughed, "Young man is still too young. If you can control your crotch when you become an adult, I will lose."
Especially when you are born into a family like this. Although you are a commoner, you are destined to be a wealthy young master, and there are also a bunch of junior brothers who are good at eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, etc. How can such a family be short of women? Can you not have the belly of a grown-up woman?
"It's not realistic not to have a baby. You... just restrain yourself a little and don't bring too many daughters-in-law to your family. My father was old at that time and I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the excitement." Li Qinzai said seriously.
Qiao'er nodded in confusion, and then said: "Dad, will auntie give birth to a younger brother or younger sister for me?"
Li Qinzai said funnyly: "Do you like younger brother or younger sister?"
Qiao'er said without hesitation: "I like my brother."
"Why?"
"My younger brother can play with me, but my younger sister can't. The girls in the village are very pretentious, love to cry and get angry, and I don't like to play with them anymore."
Li Qinzai sighed and rubbed his head.
What a stupid kid. If your facial features become ugly when you grow up, these few years may be your only bright moments in your life. If you want a woman to play with you in the future, you will have to spend money.
"Whether it's a younger brother or a younger sister, you have to take on the responsibilities of an older brother. You are the eldest brother in our family. Your younger brothers and sisters need your care and education. Do you understand?"
Qiao'er nodded vigorously: "My child understands that I will not bully him, and I will also take him to play. If any outsider dares to bully him, I will greet him with a slingshot..."
Li Qinzai smiled happily.
At home, he has been trying hard to downplay the so-called concepts of "direct descendants" and "concubines", and he has also sternly warned Cui Jie and his servants not to instill any concept of direct concubines in front of Qiao'er.
They are all of one's own seed, no matter who gives birth to them, the direct descendants are not that important.
With Qiao'er's current ability and intelligence, even if he is a commoner, his achievements when he grows up will not be much different. Qiao'er is destined to have a share of the Li family's family fortune, and maybe he will give himself a surprise.
"If you want a younger brother, before your aunt is born, go to the backyard and roar and give her a blessing." Li Qinzai encouraged with a smile.
Qiao'er ran out of the archway of the backyard without hesitation. She was so angry that she let go of her voice, and her childish voice echoed in the backyard.
"Auntie, I want a younger brother. It's not a mistake to have a baby!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old woman in the delivery room rushed out and glared angrily.
Li Qinzai patted his butt: "You're going to be scolded, run away!"
Qiaoer disappeared in a flash.
The production process is very long, at least in Li Qinzai's view, this process has taken almost half a lifetime.
Everyone in the delivery room was still busy nervously, and Li Qinzai was pacing back and forth in the yard impatiently.
Jin Xiang was also waiting nervously outside the delivery room. Seeing that Li Qinzai was getting more and more anxious, he stepped forward to hold his hand and said, "Husband, don't be anxious. There is always a process for a woman to give birth to a baby."
Li Qinzai sighed: "I know it requires a process, but this process is too long. I can't be like Sun Wukong, who was born with a bang when a stone exploded, and could do a backflip just after he was born..."
Jin Xiang blinked in confusion: "Who is Sun Wukong? Whose child has such ability?"
"He was born without a father or a mother, and he is a monkey...I will tell you his story later." Li Qinzai said absently.
Jin Xiang rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Husband, you have no serious words again!"
Until late in the night, Cui Jie's cries of pain had lost all strength and became intermittent. Suddenly, a loud and high-pitched cry of a baby burst out in the silence. Then the door curtain of the delivery room was finally opened, and an old woman ran out and greeted her happily.
Li Qinzai blessing ceremony.
"Congratulations, Fifth Young Master, your wife has given birth!"
Li Qinzai was overjoyed: "Are you safe, big and small?"
"Young and Ding are safe. Madam has given birth to a young man. He weighs six pounds and eight taels. He looks very similar to the fifth young man. We have another baby in our family!" the old woman said with a smile.
Li Qinzai was stunned for a long time, then jumped up on the spot, punched the sky several times with both hands, and shouted to the delivery room: "Damn! Well done, Madam! Heroic mother!"
Jin Xiang also hugged his arm with joy and said with a smile: "You are safe and sound, congratulations to your husband, we have added another person to our family. What a great joy!"
Li Qinzai held her face and gave her a firm smack, then urged the old woman: "Go in and take care of Madam...forget it, I'll go in person and tell Butler Song to inform Grandpa and parents in Chang'an City and send gifts as soon as possible!"
Before the old woman had time to stop her, Li Qinzai rushed into the delivery room, causing the old woman and maids in the delivery room to scream in surprise.
Li Qinzai didn't bother to pay attention to them, and rushed to Cui Jie's bed. Seeing that her hair was messy, her face was pale, her temples were soaked with sweat, and she didn't know how much she had suffered, Li Qinzai couldn't help but feel sorry for her, and he half-knelt in front of her.
I helped her straighten her messy hair.
"Thank you for your hard work, Madam. We won't have any more children in the future. There is no reason for us to suffer like this again..." Li Qinzai said guiltily.
Cui Jie opened her eyes and showed a weak smile, but stubbornly said: "No, I can still have children in the future. After a woman gives birth to her first baby, it will be easier for her to have another baby in the future."
The old woman handed a small baby wrapped in swaddling clothes to Li Qinzai. The baby was pink and tender. It had just been washed in hot water after birth. The amniotic fluid and dirt on the skin had been washed away. It looked polished at the moment.
, extremely cute.
"Fifth Young Master, look at your Young Master. He is amazing. When he was born, his cries almost broke the roof. In the future, he will be a great man who will be honored as a prince and prime minister."
Li Qinzai carefully took the baby. He had never held such a small child in his two lives. He seemed a little at a loss. Under the guidance of the old woman, he hugged him in a standard posture.
After careful inspection, the old woman was right. Her facial features, eyes, mouth and nose were somewhat similar to his. Even the way he closed his eyes and kicked his hands and feet, there was a familiar unruly bastard vibe.
