Chapter 411 I’m afraid I’m going to give birth
An Yue looked at the clean and tidy shop and felt very satisfied.
Then she turned and said, "Daniu Ale, put the dustpan and broom in the shop, and let's carry the baskets and go home!"
"Okay." Al responded.
Then Ale and Daniu picked up the backpacks beside them, closed the shop and prepared to go home.
......
Several people returned home and had lunch.
Everyone went back to the house for a nap.
An Yue returned to the room and sat on the small stool by the window.
She opened her account book and began to plan the subsequent business matters of the shop.
In addition to putting a few tables and chairs in the shop, it also needs to be decorated well.
Mid-afternoon.
The sky suddenly became gloomy, with dark clouds rolling, lightning and thunder.
Unexpectedly, after a while, it started to rain heavily.
......
An autumn rain came suddenly and lasted for three days.
That day, early in the morning.
The family had breakfast.
The weather outside the yard was clear and cloudless.
The brother and sister and Chunzhi got on Li Wu's ox cart and arrived in the town early.
An Nian still went to school, while An Yue and Chun Zhi went straight to the shop.
As soon as the two men opened the shop door, the carpenter and his son came into the shop.
They are going to start repairing the pillars and making counters.
An Yue was not idle either. She took Chunzhi to choose fabrics and decorative items suitable for the shop.
The two first walked into a cloth shop.
A woman came towards them from the counter of the cloth shop. She greeted them warmly and asked politely, "What kind of cloth do you two girls want to buy?"
An Yue replied calmly, "Sister, we came in to see if there is any fabric for making curtains in the shop."
"Yes, yes, yes. Ladies, please follow me." The two followed the woman.
The woman motioned for An Yue to look at the cloth in front of her and said, "Miss, what do you think of this cloth?"
An Yue said humbly: "Let us discuss this first."
After that, she turned to Chunzhi and asked, "Chunzhi, what do you think of this fabric?"
Chunzhi looked at it carefully, touched it, and analyzed: "Miss, the color looks fresh, but the texture seems not thick enough."
An Yue nodded and continued to choose.
After several rounds of careful selection, An Yue and Chun Zhi finally chose the window curtains they were satisfied with.
After paying the money, they put the purchased cloth in a backpack and walked out of the cloth workshop one after the other.
Afterwards, the two of them went to a craft shop.
Bought some unique decorations.
After buying everything, An Yue and Chun Zhi prepared to go back.
When the two returned to the shop, the carpenter and his son had already completed part of the process.
An Yue smiled and said, "Master, thank you for your hard work!"
The carpenter wiped his sweat and replied with a smile: "It's not hard. My father and I can finish it in two more days."
"Master, you know that my home is a little far from town. In order to make it easier for you to work, I will give you a key to the shop so that you can go in and out of the shop more conveniently. What do you think?"
The carpenter smiled and replied, "Sure, sure, as long as the girl trusts us."
"Of course I can trust you." After saying that, An Yue took out the other key and handed it to the carpenter.
The carpenter took the key and said, "In this way, we can work a little longer every day and finish it sooner."
An Yue stood where she was and said frankly, "Don't worry, don't worry, just take your time."
After saying that, she looked around the shop, watching the shop gradually taking shape, her heart full of anticipation.
After handing the keys to the carpenter, An Yue and Chun Zhi also began to prepare to go home.
The two men walked to the entrance of the town and just caught up with Li Wu's ox cart returning to the village.
An Yue and Chun Zhi ran over and got on the ox cart to go home.
......
Soon, they arrived at the main road at the east end of the village. The two jumped off the ox cart and walked along the path back home.
Just when I was not far from home, I vaguely heard some noise coming from the house.
Hearing the sound, Chunzhi quickly ran to the gate of the yard and knocked on the door.
dong dong dong.
Soon, Ale's voice came from the yard: "Who is it?"
Chunzhi responded loudly: "Brother Alega, it's me and the young lady who are back."
Ale hurriedly opened the gate of the yard.
When he saw An Yue, he said anxiously, "Miss, Sister Xiu'er might..."
Before A'le could finish his words, An Yue ran towards the room.
At this time, the shouting of sister-in-law Meng Xiuer was heard from the room.
My aunt quickly poked her head out of the room and asked loudly, "Daniu Ale, is the hot water ready?"
Ale quickly replied: "Right away, right away."
After Ale responded, he rushed to the kitchen.
An Yue ran into the room in two steps at a time.
Looking at my sister-in-law Meng Xiu'er lying on the bed, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands, her face covered in sweat, and screaming with one heavy breath after another.
An Yue stepped forward and said to her sister-in-law Meng Xiuer: "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, I'm back."
Meng Xiuer panted heavily, turned her head with great pain, and said with great effort: "Yueyue...I'm afraid she will give birth today..."
"Well, Yueyue understands. Sister-in-law, don't be nervous and keep breathing deeply."
At this time, my grandmother and my aunt were kneeling on the bed, trying to deliver the baby.
An Yue turned around and asked her aunt Zhang: "Aunt, have you invited the midwife to come over?"
The eldest aunt said anxiously, "Yueyue, your grandmother and I are here, so there is no need to hire a midwife."
An Yue turned around and looked at her sister-in-law who was in agony. The situation was urgent, so to be on the safe side she decided to ask for help from a midwife.
She hurried to the door and ordered, "Ale, run fast, go to the west end of the village to ask for a midwife!"
Ale didn't dare to delay and ran out immediately.
The anxious aunt on the bed said, "Yueyue, in our village, mothers-in-law help deliver babies, so there is no need to hire a midwife."
"These are two lives! If anything goes wrong, how will you explain to Brother Anqing?"
Then, An Yue said to Chunzhi, "Chunzhi, go to the kitchen and clean the other pot. Prepare more hot water and make sure the water is boiling."
"Okay, miss." Chunzhi hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.
An Yue returned to the room, sat on the bed, held her sister-in-law Meng Xiuer's hand tightly, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, the midwife will be here soon."
At this moment, Meng Xiuer bit her lower lip tightly in pain.
The pain was so severe that she could hardly speak, so she could only nod vigorously in response.
——A few minutes later.
A'le hurried over with the midwife.
As soon as the midwife entered the room, she began to give instructions in an orderly manner.
"Yue girl, you are still young, go wait outside the door first!"
"Okay, grandma, call me anytime if you need anything."
After saying that, An Yue looked at her sister-in-law reluctantly and walked out of the house.
Only my grandmother, my aunt and the midwife were left in the room.
Time passed by breath by breath.
The midwife shouted rhythmically in the room:
