When Wang and Zhuqing returned home, Sun Fucheng and the others were already a little anxious waiting.
"Has Mrs. Da Jiang given birth? Is it going well? Is she giving birth to a girl or a boy?" Sun Fucheng stepped forward and asked as soon as he saw them.
"His wife has a difficult delivery this time. The midwife Dajiang hired before did not dare to deliver the baby, so she came to Qingya. Fortunately, our Qingya learned some gynecological skills from Mr. Mo, otherwise it is really difficult for Dajiang's wife to have a smooth delivery this time.
It's very dangerous." Wang replied.
On the way back, she had already agreed with Zhuqing not to mention the fact that Zhuqing had a dream about someone teaching her medical skills. Because she was afraid of arousing unfounded doubts from others, she just said that it was Mr. Mo who taught her medical skills.
"Oh, even the midwife didn't dare to pick her up? Our Qingya actually picked her up? This is really a big deal! It seems that Mr. Mo is really an expert!" Sun Fucheng sighed repeatedly after hearing this.
.
He felt that Zhuqing had just studied medicine for a short period of time, and yet he was already able to independently handle difficult births that even experienced midwives did not dare to handle. Apart from the fact that the medical skills taught by Mr. Mo were good, there was really no other explanation.
"Who says otherwise! Mr. Mo is well-known in the county, and most people may not be able to hire him if they want to. We Qingya are lucky enough to have such a good master!" Mrs. Wang nodded.
Wang actually vividly remembers Zhu Chunxiang's difficult delivery today. She has always been concerned about it.
Fortunately for Zhuqing, although her baby was large, she was born smoothly. There were no serious sequelae such as birth trauma or postpartum hemorrhage.
"Hey, Qingya, why haven't you spoken?" Wang and the others were chatting about what they had seen at the Xu family today, but they found that Zhu Qing hadn't said a word since she came back.
"Mom, I think I have to go to Xu's house again. I'm not too worried yet." Zhu Qing had just thought about postpartum complications when she suddenly thought of a question. She was afraid that she had been negligent, so she stood up quickly.
"Hey, isn't her child ready? Isn't this how other families have children? Don't go, it's almost dark. Besides, you've been busy for a day and you're tired too!" Mrs. Wang felt distressed.
My daughter couldn't help but persuade her.
"Mom, I have to go. Otherwise, I won't worry!" Zhu Qing opened the door and walked quickly to Xu's house.
"Qingya, it's so late, what big thing can happen?" Wang muttered, but still followed her uneasy.
"The weather is too cold. I am worried about their family. I forgot to tell them that the child must keep warm. In addition, the child must be given some sugar water to drink. Otherwise, there may be problems!" Zhu Qing thought of Zhu Chunxiang.
Sure enough, it is gestational diabetes. The child has been in an environment with high blood sugar. After being suddenly separated, he may have a hypoglycemic reaction, which would be bad.
This was an oversight on her part. It was her first time dealing with such a difficult problem, but she still made some mistakes.
"This child had to drink sugar water when he was born? Did he really grow up eating sugar water?" Ms. Wang didn't understand the mystery behind this and couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"Well, his children must drink. Other people's children may not." Zhu Qing confirmed.
They rushed to Xu's house and saw them returning. Xu Dajiang was a little surprised: "Qingya, why are you back again?"
Zhuqing stepped forward and asked: "How is the child now? Is Aunt Chunxiang awake?"
Xu Dajiang rubbed his hands and said, "No! Both the adults and the children slept well! The child didn't cry at all, so he was so good!"
Hearing what he said, Zhuqing couldn't help but feel nervous, and quickly went into the house to see the child.
He saw that the child had his eyes closed and looked like he was asleep, but Zhu Qing suspected that the child might be in a coma due to hypoglycemia.
So she quickly picked up the child and pressed and stimulated the Yongquan point on the sole of his foot. The child soon started crying loudly.
"Quickly, pour a glass of sugar water, I want to feed it to him!" Zhu Qing told Xu Dajiang's mother, Mrs. Liu.
"Sugar water? Okay, I'll make it right away!" Because there is a pregnant woman at home and Zhu Chunxiang has a sweet tooth, it is quite convenient to have sugar water at home.
"Qingya, here, what, this child will be given sugar water after birth?" Ms. Liu couldn't help but ask.
"Well, your grandson loves sweet things!" Zhu Qing touched the child's tender face, took the sugar water from Mrs. Liu's hand, and fed it to him little by little with a spoon.
The little person sucked the sugar water on his lips bit by bit and soon stopped crying.
Seeing the child slowly drink about three or four spoons of sugar water, Zhu Qing felt relieved.
"From now on, feed this child less sugar water every day. But you must not feed him too much." Zhu Qing told them.
"Okay, Qingya, we will definitely do it." Xu Dajiang held his little son who was finally sleeping soundly in his arms a little stiffly, with a grateful look on his face.
"Also, the weather is too cold this year, so be sure to keep warm! Children can't withstand the cold!" Zhu Qing warned again and again. She was afraid that the various conditions here were too backward to allow this little life to thrive.
From her modern point of view, the conditions here are really bad and primitive. Without various modern diagnosis and treatment methods, Zhuqing is really not used to it.
That's why she has all kinds of worries. But she knows that in a short period of time, she will definitely not be able to have much impact on the world. What she can do is start from herself.
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhuqing to promote her medical skills too high-profile. What she has to do is to first integrate into the world and then adapt to it, so as to do her meager contribution to the world.
After explaining to the Xu family, Zhuqing can really go home with peace of mind this time.
This New Year's Day is the most special New Year's Day that Zhuqing has ever experienced. However, the sacredness and fun of the arrival of a newborn cannot be compared to so many other New Year's Days.
When Zhuqing and Wang returned home, it was already dark. Zhushan was already waiting impatiently at home: "Sister, why did you go so long? Is the child okay?"
Zhuqing said: "It's okay, the child is okay. It's just that I forgot to tell them some things. Is Shan'er impatient?"
Zhushan nodded: "Wish you a happy New Year, I will wait for you to come back at home. As a result, you and mother went out for most of the day, so I had to study and practice calligraphy at home. It's boring to spend such a long time!"
"Okay, I understand. Now I have good news to tell you. Tomorrow we will go to my grandfather's house, and we will also go to the temple to burn incense! Do you want to go?" Zhuqing directly told Zhushan about tomorrow's itinerary.
"Go, why don't you go? I'm almost bored at home! Besides, I can see my cousin Zijun tomorrow, and I still have some academic things to ask him!" Zhushan was really in high spirits after hearing this.
Extremely excited.
"Okay, okay, you two brothers should have something to eat quickly and go to bed early." Seeing that the two of them were not finished chatting, Wang quickly interrupted them.
On the first day of the first lunar month, of course there was a lot to eat at home. The dinner was also as expected a rich one.
Zhuqing and his family of four were chatting and laughing, and the meal only lasted for more than half an hour before it was over.
Zhuqing was called to Xu Dajiang's house to deliver the baby on the way. But after Zhushan returned home, he went to Li Zheng's house, his brother-in-law's house, Guihua's sister-in-law's house and others to pay New Year's greetings.
He also got a big red envelope at Li Zheng's house. He didn't want to accept it, but Li Zheng insisted that he accept it. So, he still didn't reject Li Zheng's kindness.
After Sister-in-law Guihua and the others returned home from Zhushan, they also went to their house to pay New Year greetings. Sun Fucheng specially gave some of the New Year goods prepared by Wang in advance to Sister-in-law Guihua and her family.
This year, Guihua's sister-in-law started taking medicine and rented a house in the town. The family's expenses are really high.
During the Chinese New Year, their family was even more stretched. Needless to say, the Wang family also noticed this.
In the past, Zhuqing's family couldn't get rid of the pot during the Chinese New Year, and Guihua's sister-in-law found a way to help secretly. This year, however, the two families turned against each other.
Of course, Mrs. Wang would not watch her neighbors suffer and live for years to come.
That's why she specifically told Sun Fucheng that if Sister-in-law Guihua and the others came to play, she would give them something affordable. This would not only take care of Sister-in-law Guihua's family's face, but also help their family in a real way.
Sure enough, Sun Fucheng heard that the things Wang gave their family were the things that Guihua's sister-in-law's family needed most at the moment.
Therefore, Sister-in-law Guihua is very grateful to Zhuqing and his family.
In the evening of that day, she specially brought over a bowl of glutinous rice dumplings made by herself. This appeared on the dining table of Zhuqing's family.
The glutinous rice balls are made of glutinous rice flour, and the filling inside is the simplest bean paste filling. However, because of the skillful craftsmanship of Osmanthus Sister-in-law, this simple bowl of glutinous rice balls tastes particularly sweet in the mouth.
After Zhuqing ate it, he had an idea: "Sister-in-law Osmanthus's craftsmanship is so good, she can actually sell some snacks! This can also increase their family's income a lot!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang shook her head: "Business in the snack business? I'm afraid even if Guihua and the others want to do it, her mother-in-law won't agree! She will find it too embarrassing!"
Zhuqing didn't expect this, and felt speechless at the same time: "What's so embarrassing about this? Don't we all make money with our own hands? I don't think it's anything! Sister-in-law Guihua's craftsmanship is so good, it's really good to keep it at home.
What a pity!”
Mrs. Wang nodded: "Osmanthus has skillful hands. She also does good embroidery work! Now she does embroidery work every day and sells it in the embroidery shop in the town to support her family!"
"Sister-in-law Osmanthus has good embroidery skills? She is really capable!" Zhu Qing couldn't help but admire her after hearing this.
Mrs. Wang nodded: "Who says otherwise! Back then, your sister-in-law Guihua's father was a scholar! If he hadn't been seriously ill and their family had no money to treat it, your sister-in-law Guihua wouldn't have married in a hurry just to raise money.
Yes! As a result, I got married and have been looked down upon by my husband’s family all my life. It’s as if I owe them something.”
Wang's words solved the doubts that Zhuqing had always had in her heart. She asked, how could such a young and capable woman like Guihua Sister-in-law marry a villager and still do everything to please her husband's family?
Everything has a cause and a result.
"Mom, aren't we going to burn incense in the temple tomorrow? Why don't we ask Sister-in-law Osmanthus to go with us? Then she can try to sell some snacks. There is always a first time for everything!" Zhuqing said to Mrs. Wang.
"This is a good idea, but it's too late. Even if I tell her now, she won't have time to do anything!" Ms. Wang was a little embarrassed.
Zhuqing said: "Actually, it's not that difficult. Tomorrow, sister-in-law Guihua will bring a stove and a pot and make the simplest pancakes in a crowded place on the roadside!"
Zhuqing plans to teach Sister-in-Law Osmanthus how to make egg pancakes that will be particularly popular tomorrow. This egg pancake is simple and easy to make, and depending on the things wrapped inside, there can be many variations. I think it will also be popular.
Because their family is busy with the peppermint oil business, they have no time to worry about the small business of making egg pancakes.
Zhuqing thought that Guihua's sister-in-law was honest and willing to endure hardships, so she decided to hand over this Qiao Zong to her!
"That's a good idea. Okay, I'll call Osmanthus immediately and explain this matter to her clearly. If she is willing, she will set off with us tomorrow." Wang was always a warm-hearted person, and after hearing this
Zhuqing was very happy to help Sister-in-law Guihua and responded positively immediately.
Soon she went out. When she came back, she still looked excited. Zhu Qin knew that Sister-in-law Guihua must have agreed to her request.
Early the next morning, Zhu Qing, his whole family, Guihua's sister-in-law, and the couple brought simple stoves and pots, as well as flour and other raw materials, and set off on a regular mule cart.
In the car, Zhuqing told Sister-in-law Guihua one by one how to make egg pancakes that she thought of.
"Qingya, this is indeed a good idea. Your brain is full of inspiration. Thank you for giving me such a good idea. I will try it later." Sister-in-law Guihua is a clever person.
When he heard Zhu Qing's suggestion, he suddenly became enlightened. Even more than Zhu Qing thought of.
The Lingfu Temple that Zhuqing and the others were going to was actually surrounded by a large market place. It was very lively during the New Year. The Osmanthus sister-in-law and her husband set up a stall on the roadside. They followed Zhuqing's instructions.
They started making egg pancakes. Soon, their business came. Because the egg pancakes were easy to make, fresh and delicious, they quickly attracted a large number of customers.
Osmanthus sister-in-law and her husband are honest people. They use practical ingredients and make them quickly and well. Moreover, this egg pancake is indeed a new thing. People have plenty of money during the New Year, so they don't care about spending a penny or two.
They bought some fresh food. So for a while, their small stall opened and the business was pretty good.
Seeing that Sister-in-law Osmanthus's business was good, Zhuqing felt relieved.
So Zhuqing and his family went to Lingfu Temple to offer incense.
