Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 439 Three Gunshots

"How are you?"

Li Guoqiang noticed something strange about Luo Huijuan, his expression changed slightly, and then he asked hurriedly.

"I"

Luo Huijuan slowly frowned, then said in some pain: "My stomach hurts so much!"

"Don't worry, I'll help you check it first!"

When Li Guoqiang heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and then he quickly said a word of comfort, and quickly grabbed Luo Huijuan's wrist and carefully checked her pulse.

After a while, he suddenly turned around and shouted outside: "Sister Ping, Sister Fen, Xiaoyan, come in quickly, Sister Juan is about to give birth!"

Hearing the call, Xu Yuping, Ma Shufen and Zhu Caiyan dropped the work in their hands without saying a word, then quickly got up and ran into the west room, and started busying themselves according to the delivery process arranged by Li Guoqiang in the past.

Among them, some were making hot water, some were wringing towels, and some were spraying disinfectant all around.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang did not waste any time. He quickly moved the delivery bed that he had taken time to prepare and placed in the corner of the kang, and then carefully helped Luo Huijuan lie down on it.

And so, soon, the West Room became a temporary delivery room.

At the same time, Qu Yinfeng, Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani, who were in the next room, also learned the news of Luo Huijuan's delivery, and they all ran over to help, specifically responsible for ensuring logistics.

Since Li Guoqiang had told them more than once about the delivery process and precautions, although the atmosphere was a bit tense at the moment, nothing went wrong in the busy process.

The only thing that made people feel a little distressed was the cries of pain that could be heard from time to time in the house.

This also made Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping recall the time when they gave birth to their own children.

Among them, Qu Yinfeng was particularly outstanding. She also asked a midwife to help her give birth to her child at home. The conditions in all aspects were much more simple than they are now. It can be said that she risked her life.

Xu Yuping's condition, on the other hand, had improved somewhat. At least she could have a full meal, which gave her more strength to give birth.

Moreover, she was quite capable and gave birth to Zhu Caixia in just over three hours.

At this moment, looking at Luo Huijuan's painful expression, she could only pray silently in her heart, praying that Luo Huijuan could be more successful than her.

After all, Luo Huijuan was pregnant with three babies at once, which was much more difficult than it was back then.

Just when she was feeling distressed, Li Guoqiang had already completed all the prenatal examinations. He encouraged Luo Huijuan to persist in the breathing method and exertion rhythm he had taught her, while giving her a midwifery massage.

Although he had never helped with a baby before, fortunately he had comprehensive skills in traditional Chinese medicine.

In other words, whether it is surgery, internal medicine or gynecology, everything is under control.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so confident as to let Luo Huijuan come to Jinshanbao to give birth.

Perhaps it was because of Li Guoqiang's encouragement, or perhaps it was because of her responsibility as a mother, Luo Huijuan slowly adjusted her breathing rhythm, and then endured the severe pain and tried her best.

Not long after, Li Guoqiang successfully saw the hair of his first child, which greatly boosted his spirits. He then hurriedly told Luo Huijuan the good news to cheer her up.

At the same time, he did not forget to continue doing the massage to induce labor to help his eldest son be born as soon as possible.

As time slowly passed, suddenly the sound of a baby crying was heard from the house.

Then, after a while, another crying sound suddenly appeared.

Li Guoqiang looked at the eldest and second oldest who had been cleaned up and wrapped up like little dumplings, and felt a surge of joy in his heart. He then hurriedly continued to cheer up Luo Huijuan, who was already sweating profusely and even a little pale.

Moreover, he tried his best to mobilize all his energy to help Luo Huijuan regulate her body so that she could recover some strength as soon as possible and give birth to the third child.

Luo Huijuan listened to the cries of the eldest and second child, as well as Li Guoqiang's encouragement. She gritted her teeth silently, and squeezed out the strength in her body bit by bit. She seemed to have completely forgotten the pain.

After more than ten minutes, the third cry was finally heard in the room, making everyone secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, Li Guoqiang did not bother to check on his three children carefully, and quickly did the follow-up work to avoid accidental infection and heavy bleeding.

With his efforts, Luo Huijuan was soon smoothly transferred to the warm fire pit, where she closed her eyes and took a rest.

Her three children were held firmly in the arms of Xu Yuping, Ma Shufen and Zhu Caiyan, who then rocked and coaxed them.

As for Qu Yinfeng, after waiting for Li Guoqiang to finish dealing with the aftermath, she immediately gathered the blood-stained gauze and some taboo things together, then took them to the hillside behind the house, found a relatively remote corner, dug a hole and buried them.

In addition, in order to prevent it from being dug out by snakes, insects, rats and ants, she also pressed several large stones on it and sprinkled some realgar powder.

After all this busy work, she was sweating all over.

However, she had no intention of resting at all. She ran back home without stopping and directed Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani to boil water and cook porridge, so that she could wipe the bodies of Luo Huijuan and the three children and replenish their energy at any time.

As for Xu Yuping and others, they couldn't leave at all. They were either holding the children and coaxing them, or they were busy making milk powder for the children, changing diapers, etc.

Needless to say, Li Guoqiang not only has to help take care of the children, but also is responsible for regulating Luo Huijuan's body so that she can recover as soon as possible.

After being busy for a while, until everything that needed to be done was done and Luo Huijuan had recovered some of her spirits, she took the initiative to ask Xu Yuping and others to bring the child over and place him next to her. Only then did Li Guoqiang breathe a sigh of relief, then turned and walked out, ready to take a breath and calm his complicated emotions.

After all, he has lived two lives, and this is his first time as a father!
Not to mention, he delivered the baby himself.

The complex emotions involved are simply beyond description.

However, when he walked out of the house, before he could calm down, his attention was suddenly drawn to the huge crowd outside the yard. He hurried over and wanted to ask what was going on.

But before he could say anything, Xu Yuliang, who was standing in front of everyone, smiled and said, "Qiangzi, congratulations, congratulations on the birth of your baby boy today, and it was a three-gun slam."

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers standing behind him also started talking at once about festive things, making it hard to tell who to listen to.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone!”

When Li Guoqiang saw this, he was slightly stunned, then he quickly clasped his hands together and thanked everyone.

At the same time, he roughly understood that Xu Yuliang and others gathered at the gate of the courtyard for no other reason than to be able to congratulate him as soon as possible.

The reason why they did not enter the yard was because of the rules passed down by local ancestors.

He didn't feel any strange emotions about this, he just felt happy. "That's enough!"

Xu Yuliang saw that the scene was a bit chaotic, and was afraid that someone would run into Li Guoqiang's house without paying attention, so he waved his hand and said, "Since the intentions have been sent, everyone should go back first! Wait until Qiangzi's wife is out of confinement next month, and then everyone can come over and have fun!"

After hearing this, no one dared to raise any objections and quickly turned around and left.

In fact, the main reason why most of them braved the cold wind to come here and congratulate Li Guoqiang was because Li Guoqiang was their God of Wealth.

As the saying goes, if someone gives a gift, the host may not remember it, but if someone does not give a gift, the host will definitely remember it.

Similarly, if someone came now, Li Guoqiang might not remember them, but if someone didn’t come, Li Guoqiang would definitely remember them.

Precisely because of the fear that Li Guoqiang would bear a grudge against them, almost all the villagers who could come would come.

Soon, the courtyard gate, which had been bustling with people, became quiet again.

Li Guoqiang stood where he was, looked at the rising sun in the sky, exhaled lightly a puff of white mist, and a very happy smile slowly emerged on his face.

Before he knew it, he had been busy all night.

If it weren't for the fact that his physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary people, he would probably have collapsed from exhaustion by now.

Moreover, it was with the help of Xu Yuping and others that he was able to complete the delivery so smoothly.

While feeling thankful, he also deeply realized how difficult it is to have a child.

In addition, he secretly hoped that the delivery dates of Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others would not coincide with each other.

Otherwise, he might have to use the small world to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

"Qiangzi, Qiangzi, what are you doing there? Come in quickly!"

Soon after, a shout came from behind. Li Guoqiang turned around and walked into the house, asking, "Sister Ping, why are you calling me in so urgently?"

"What else could this be?"

Xu Yuping raised her eyebrows, and then said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "You have been busy all night, why don't you eat a few bites and take a nap! Juanzi and the three children will still need you to take care of them!"

"Row!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly after hearing this, then nodded and agreed: "Then I'll eat a few bites first."

After saying that, he followed Xu Yuping to the east room, sat on the kang and ate freshly baked pancakes.

In fact, Xu Yuping was just worrying for nothing. With his physical condition, he would have no problem staying up for three or four days, let alone a whole night.

However, at this moment, there was no need for him to argue with Xu Yuping. He should try to eat well and sleep well first, and then replace Xu Yuping and others.

In the blink of an eye, it was soon noon.

Li Guoqiang took a nap in the east room, and then accompanied Xu Yuping, Ma Shufen and others for lunch. Only then did he let them lie down on the kang and sleep obediently.

Then he went to the west room and took care of Luo Huijuan and the three children together with Qu Yinfeng.

At this time, after a morning of rest and recovery, Luo Huijuan felt much better and her face had more color, no longer as pale as it had been just after giving birth.

While holding the youngest child in her arms and feeding him food, she looked on with happiness as Li Guoqiang walked around the house holding the eldest and second child in his arms.

After feeding the youngest, Li Guoqiang had just coaxed the eldest and second oldest to sleep, and then he carefully wanted to put the two children on the kang.

However, before he could let go of their hands, the two children immediately opened their mouths and cried "woo woo woo wa". He was so scared that he hurriedly picked up the two children again.

Seeing this scene, Luo Huijuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In her impression, ever since Li Guoqiang went to the countryside, he has been omniscient and omnipotent.

But now, the two newborn children have completely controlled them.

This contrast really makes people feel funny.

When Li Guoqiang heard Luo Huijuan's laughter, he couldn't help but glance at her with a bit of annoyance, then he walked around the room again with the two children in his arms with a helpless look on his face.

In fact, it was not just Luo Huijuan who found the situation a little funny, he himself also felt a little surprised.

Originally he thought that with his ability, it should be easy to coax the child to sleep, but he never thought that the problem would lie in the step of letting go.

No matter whether he tried to release it gently or silently using his strong energy, it was impossible to do anything. It was as if a detector was installed on his body and he had no way to do anything.

With no other options, he had to carry them around obediently, acting as a human cradle.

After a while, Luo Huijuan coaxed the youngest child to sleep after eating and drinking enough, and then winked at Li Guoqiang, indicating that he could give one to her.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurried over and put the boss into Luo Huijuan's arms.

It’s strange to say, but this time, the eldest brother didn’t burst into tears like he did before.

Perhaps, in his young mind, he could also tell that Luo Huijuan was his mother!

Just like that, it didn’t take long before Luo Huijuan coaxed all three little ones to sleep.

Among them, the eldest and the youngest snuggled up to her, while the second oldest was held in her arms.

Seeing this scene, Li Guoqiang didn't know why, but suddenly in his mind emerged a picture of the three brothers surrounding Luo Huijuan and protecting her from the wind and rain.

If this could really happen in the future, it would be worth it for Luo Huijuan to work so hard and risk her life to give birth to the three brothers.

And if it is not like this in the future, or even becomes an unfilial son, then...

Where's my belt?!
