Chapter 377 Two Sons
He Zhongsheng sneered: "How can I be on duty after giving birth?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials frowned: "Isn't there still a county magistrate and a county lieutenant? They are supposed to assist the county magistrate. If the county magistrate is not around, they can also bear the burden."

He Zhongsheng laughed dryly: "Those two people are really busy. It is said that they have always shared the affairs of the sihu. Now they are presiding over the overall situation instead of the county magistrate?"

The official secretary did not answer.This job was arranged by the Holy Spirit, and once arranged, it would have to face the problem of women getting pregnant and giving birth.It is not unreasonable that all official positions in the imperial court are held by men.

He Zhongsheng didn't dare to blame the emperor, and he didn't continue to speak, so he retreated to his position.

Chen Fan was arranging related work, and asked about Meng Xue in particular.

Yuanshuo County successively came to recruit people, and temporarily taught in various academies, the county government paid them salaries, and Zhang Ci trained them regularly.But the number of juren is far from keeping up with the number of teachers needed by the school.

The most serious thing is that so far, no female gentleman has come to Yuanshuo County.

The county magistrate said: "These candidates all come here for fame, but the journeys are not very far. Those who are far away may not come until next year."

The county captain echoed: "Those who are studying or teaching in the academy will not be able to leave until the end of the year. Next year, more people will definitely come to Yuanshuo County. Those who study in the academy will definitely be able to start school next spring."

Zhang Ci said: "Juren will be in touch with each other, and more and more people will know the news. Don't worry about the lack of husbands."

Chen Fan sighed. It is not feasible for male teachers to teach female students in this era.It is very difficult for a woman to leave her hometown to teach here.

She continued to arrange other things, and then announced the start of maternity leave.

After dinner, Zhang Ci helped her take a walk.

"The due date is only two days away, and you just rested now. If you have a stomachache while on duty, what should you do?"

Chen Fan smiled: "The family is ready, even if it is activated suddenly, it will not be in a hurry, isn't there still a husband to stabilize the situation."

"I'm afraid I'll be more panicked than you then."

"There's a doctor, Mrs. Wen, and Nanny Xu." Chen Fan said it easily, but his body was a little unnatural.

Zhang Ci noticed it, and put his arms around her shoulders: "Let's go back to the house, it's fine to walk this far."

It was a bit cold in the room, Zhang Ci asked her if she wanted to order a charcoal basin.

Chen Fan was reluctant: "The smoke is a bit choking."

"It can be placed in the room on the west, otherwise it will be cold when the baby is born. If Wen Po is warmer, she may be in a better condition."

Seeing that she was so worried, Chen Fan agreed.

I had nothing to do all night, except that I ran to the toilet a little too much.Every time Zhang Ci helped her put on a cotton coat before going there, only missing a toilet in front of her bed.

Nanny Xu was sleeping in the west room, and when she heard the commotion, she got dressed and came over to accompany her, saying: "Ma'am is probably going to give birth soon, master should take a leave of absence to stay with Madam."

Zhang Ci agreed.

Chen Fan wanted to stay in bed in the morning: "Can I not get up?"

"Of course, I'll bring you some water." Zhang Ci got up first.

There is no need for Zhang Ci to bring water out of the door. If a maid brings it in, Zhang Ci can just bring it to the bedside.

"It's inconvenient to sit on the bed and wash your face. I'd better wait a while. I don't want to leave the bed now."

Zhang Ci twisted a towel, wiped her face and hands for her, and then helped her to sit up and came over.Chen Fan had no choice but to put on a cotton coat.

"I don't know how many people bought quilts." Chen Fan began to worry again.

"You are on maternity leave now, maybe you will have a baby in the next moment, and you still worry about the quilt. There is cotton, there is a cotton maker, buy what you want to buy first, and those who don't want to buy will always be able to afford it next year. You can buy it. It's not you Leave it to the market." Zhang Ci found cotton trousers for her.

Her cotton-padded jacket and trousers are made according to the style of home clothes, which are relatively loose and easy to put on.

"I said I stayed in bed, but I still got up." Zhang Ci teased.

"It's all because of this damn habit." Chen Fan didn't want to sit on the bed and brush his teeth, "When will you improve your toothbrush? I've already told you the method."

Zhang Ci smiled: "I think you are really going to give birth, so worry about this and that early in the morning."

Nanny Xu came in with breakfast: "My husband, go back to bed and lie down after breakfast, save some strength."

Chen Fan looked at the three sugar-watered eggs in the bowl: "So many?"

Nanny Xu smiled and said, "Eat more to give you strength. Madam, don't worry, we are all here."

Chen Fan half leaned on the bed after breakfast, Zhang Ci sat by the bed, and went to the Yamen to ask for leave when the time came.

"I seem to have a stomachache." Chen Fan frowned.Zhang Ci instantly became nervous and shouted, and Nanny Xu pushed the door open and came in.

"How's Madam?" Nanny Xu looked at her with concern.

"Now it doesn't hurt anymore." Chen Fan said.

"Sometimes it's like this. It's not obvious at first, and it hurts only after a while, and then it becomes more and more frequent."

Two doctors came to remove the fat, and they were both in normal physical condition.Chang touched Chen Fan's belly and said that the fetal position was normal.

Sitting and lying down, Chen Fan fell asleep in a daze.The intense pain hit her and she woke up suddenly.

"What's the matter? Does your stomach hurt?" Zhang Ci came to support her.

Chen Fan nodded.Zhang Ci immediately helped her put on cotton clothes and trousers, and wanted to carry her to Westinghouse.

"No, I'll walk over." Chen Fan felt that the pain was bearable, but also worried that Zhang Ci would be too hard to hold.

Westinghouse was warm with a burning charcoal basin, and the windows were half-opened, so there was no wind.

Chen Fan looked out the window: "The weather seems to be pretty good today."

"Indeed, the weather is fine and there is no wind, which is a good sign." Zhang Ci nodded.

Chen Fan had been in pain for a whole day, but he didn't feel like he was about to die at all, so he had to endure the pain to eat.Zhang Ci tasted the yellow lotus water there: "Will it be too bitter? Can the child bear it?"

"I can bear it, this amount is normal." Doctor Fang glanced at Zhang Ci, "Babies have never tasted anything, and bitterness is not bitter to them."

"Where's the nanny?" Zhang Ci was also very worried.

"I'm waiting there. I'll let her come when I need her." Nanny Xu said.

Chen Fan was in pain all night, and it was after ten o'clock that he officially started.She felt like her whole body was about to explode, and her mind was in chaos. She could only vaguely listen to the sounds of "inhale", "exhale" and "strength", but there was still no feeling of output.

No matter how strong her body is, she still feels powerless.

Something was stuffed into her mouth, and a pair of strong hands held her hand, and Zhang Ci's voice was heard: "I'm here."

She continued to work hard, and finally, when she heard a loud cry, she couldn't help but relax.

"There's one more." She heard Zhang Ci's voice again, and the midwife's voice was also there.She pulled herself together, and finally, she heard another cry, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

"Is she important?" Zhang Ci asked eagerly.

Dr. Chu came in and took his pulse, and said, "It's okay, madam is just tired, just take a nap and you'll be fine."

The midwife happily said to Zhang Ci: "Congratulations, master, congratulations, madam, they are sons, two big fat sons."
