Chapter 465 466 Preparation

The days passed in a blink of an eye, and there were only about twenty days before Li Yu's due date. Zhou Jia thought about the two wet nurses that Gong mentioned and said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, my aunt has found two wet nurses for the baby in her village. , I think you can take her home."

Li Yu thought for a moment, looked at Zhou Jiadao: "I heard the master say before that breast milk is nutritious for the first four or five months. If we invite two wet nurses who have fed the children for several months to go home, we might as well buy a few sheep. , feeding goat milk to children is nutritious.”

Zhou Jia thought for a while and said with a smile: "My aunt has made a search. It's not a good idea to reject the old man's kindness. You said goat's milk is nutritious. Let's buy a few goats and invite two wet nurses to come back and help with the feeding." It’s good to take care of the kids too!”

Li Yu thought about it and said, "Okay! I'll listen to you."

Nanny Yang went to Gong's Zhuangzi to pick up the two daughters-in-law and took them to see Li Yu.

Li Yu saw that the two of them were about 20 years old, with average appearance, gentle eyes, clean hair, and clean nails. She nodded with satisfaction. Nanny Yang said to Li Yu: "Madam, two sisters-in-law. , one is named Yu and the other is named Cui, the children are four months old."

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Cui kowtowed to Li Yu. Li Yu smiled and said, "No need to be polite. I'm sorry to bother you. Is there anyone to take care of your children when you come to the house?"

Mrs. Yu smiled shyly and said, "Go back to Madam, my mother-in-law is taking her with her!"

"My mother-in-law is also taking care of me!" Ms. Cui said with a blushing face.

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "You can live in the house with peace of mind, and you can go back to see the children every now and then."

The two of them saluted quickly, "Thank you, madam."

After the two arrived, Li Yu asked Mrs. Liu to go to the market and buy four sheep and raise them in the livestock shed to give the children extra food.

After bringing the goat home, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu squeezed half a bucket of goat milk. Li Yu asked them to filter the goat milk through boiled gauze and put some radish slices in it to cook together, which reduced the fishy smell of the goat milk. I put a spoonful of sugar in it and everyone thought it was pretty good after drinking it.

Ruyi went to the Wu family and took the Wu family's two sisters to the Zhou family. After Wu's sister-in-law examined Li Yu, she said with a smile: "Madam, the pregnancy is good and the fetus is in the right position. It looks like she will give birth prematurely. From now on, you don't want to If you don’t go out again, stay at home with peace of mind and wait for the birth, we will also watch over you.”

Li Yu smiled politely, "Okay, I'll excuse you."

The Wu family's sister-in-law smiled and saluted, and said: "Madam, you are too polite. This is what we should do."

Nanny Yang smiled and took the Wu family's two sisters-in-law down to rest.

Yangyang looked at his mother's tall belly and asked Li Yu strangely, "Mom, aren't my brother and sister bored in there?"

Li Yu laughed dumbly, "It's not boring, you were hiding in it before."

Yangyang couldn't imagine him hiding in his mother's belly, so he asked curiously, "Can I touch them?"

"Okay! Yang'er touches his younger brothers and sisters and says hello to them." Li Yu said with a smile.

Yang Yang gently put his hand on Li Yu's belly, felt it for a while, shook his head and said, "Mom, I don't have any younger brothers or sisters."

Li Yu smiled and said softly to him: "You talk to them, and they will say hello to you."

"Really?" Yangyang thought for a moment and looked at Li Yu distressedly: "Mom, I can't even see them, what should I say to them?"

Li Yu looked at his frowning and distressed expression and said with a smile, "Tell them what's on your mind, or recite the text to them."

Yangyang pursed his lips, thought for a moment, put his hand on Li Yu's belly, and said softly: "Brother, you have to be obedient, don't be naughty, don't disturb your mother at night, be obedient and let her sleep and rest, you are obedient Come out to meet us, and my brother will give you all the toys, including little tigers, kites, boats... so many!"

Listening to his son's words, Li Yu felt warm in his heart. He touched his little head, kissed his forehead, and said, "My dear, dear." She looked up at him and smiled softly.

At this time, Yangyang felt his palm being kicked, and then another, and he looked up at Li Yu in surprise, "Mom, my brother said hello to me, he kicked me, and he promised me that they will be good."

Li Yu looked at Yangyang's joyful expression, smiled and rubbed his shiny black hair, and said softly, "Yes! My younger brother and older brother said hello! They said they would be obedient!"

On the afternoon of the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yu woke up from a nap. Xinghua looked at her and said happily: "Madam, the wintersweet flowers sent by the old man have bloomed and are very fragrant."

Li Yu saw her happy look and laughed, "Really? Let's take a look."

Li Yu went out and stood under the eaves of the corridor, looking at the pots of wintersweet flowers delivered to him by Mr. Zhou this morning.

Two pots of yellow and two pots of red wintersweet were in bud when they were delivered, and they bloomed within a short time of being placed under the eaves.

The two pots of yellow flowers are delicate and cute, while the outer petals of the other two pots are yellow, but the stamens are red, emitting wisps of fragrance.

Li Yu looked at the delicate yellow petals and smelled the faint fragrance. Suddenly, an uncontrollable stream of urine flowed out. His underwear was instantly wet. Li Yu was startled for a moment, and suddenly realized that the amniotic water had broken, ten years earlier than the expected date of delivery. I'm going to give birth in a few days...

Li Yu turned around and looked calmly at Nanny Chen who was standing aside, "Nanny, my amniotic water has broken. Help me to the delivery room quickly."

After hearing this, Nanny Chen was startled for a moment. Seeing Li Yu's calm expression, her originally panicked heart calmed down. She stepped forward to support Li Yu and said, "Madam, let's go!"

Grandma Chen helped Li Yu walk toward the delivery room that had been prepared early, and said to the somewhat flustered Xinghua and Grandma Yang: "Xinghua, go call the midwife, and then go to the kitchen to have someone make a bowl of brown sugar for Madam." When the eggs come, Sister Yang will inform the manager Ruyi, and then someone will inform the master and take him home."

"Okay." Xinghua and Nanny Yang agreed and started working separately.

Aunt Chen helped Li Yu into the delivery room, helped her lie down on the bed, and said warmly: "Madam, let me help you take off your underwear. The amniotic water has broken and has started. You may not feel any pain now." It hurts so much, it will hurt later.”

"Okay." Li Yu came down and felt that there was not much pain. She only felt that her lower body was swollen and swollen. An indescribable discomfort invaded her. Aunt Chen helped her take off her underwear. Xinghua held a basin of hot water. I took the midwife into the delivery room.

Aunt Chen used hot water to scrub Li Yu, checked, took out the oilcloth and spread it at the end of the delivery bed, then spread a layer of straw paper on top, and then prepared the quilt and clothes.

After taking out the prepared delivery equipment and placing them in a convenient place, the Wu family's sister-in-law came.

After the two checked, they said to Li Yu: "Madam, delivery usually takes place within ten hours after the amniotic water breaks. Sometimes it only takes one or two hours. You need to eat something first to preserve your strength."

"Okay." Li Yu nodded in agreement.
