Rebirth at the starting point of happiness

Su Qiuyue would write down in detail what Aunt Li asked her to do in her notebook.

She also wanted to find out the position of the baby in her belly. Her idea was very rich, but the reality was that her mind was blank.

The first time, I could only listen to Aunt Li. It was pure theoretical knowledge and she had no idea about it.

The woman still had to wait for a while before giving birth, so Aunt Li and Su Xinyue sat nearby to rest.

Aunt Li whispered to her what the baby looked like in the belly.

What does it feel like when you touch it, and which part of the child it is, etc.

Su Qiuyue listened and took notes in detail in her notebook.

Aunt Li was very happy to see her so serious and was willing to talk more.

Su Qiuyue was not as shy as other girls, and she was so focused on learning from her experience that she liked her even more.

When the woman was about to give birth, Aunt Li first asked Su Qiuyue if she was afraid and whether she dared to watch.

Su Qiuyue agreed to let her watch. When the woman started giving birth, Aunt Li did not have time to tell her in detail. Su Qiuyue carefully observed and recorded the changes in the woman during the delivery process, and how Aunt Li handled it.

After the baby was born, Su Qiuyue handed things to Aunt Li and watched her operate it.

Aunt Li had a few rubber water-absorbing balls in her hand.

The thing has a long tube in front of its big belly that goes from thick to thin, formed in one piece.

The absorbent balls come in different sizes, long and short, thick and thin.

Squeeze it hard, then put the other end of the tube into the baby's mouth, nose, or ear to suck out the amniotic fluid.

Then start to check the child's body surface.

No problem, just take a rag and quickly wipe the dirt off the child's body.

Su Qiuyue prepared some iodine and quickly took it out to wipe the part of the umbilical cord that was to be cut.

The cotton thread used to tie the baby's umbilical cord was also soaked in iodine.

The scissors had been scalded with boiling water, but Su Qiuyue still wiped them with iodine.

I watched Aunt Li cut the umbilical cord skillfully and then tie it neatly into a special strong knot.

Su Qiuyue quickly folded the gauze and placed it on the navel. Then she wrapped the gauze around the child to secure it.

Originally, when Aunt Li taught her apprentice, she would touch and study the pregnant women, which made them unhappy. The pregnant women were also very embarrassed when they were talked about with others' bodies.

But seeing that Su Qiuyue brought the things that only medical workers had and used iodine gauze on them without hesitation, they thought that these were precious things that could only be purchased with money, so they could just ignore their unhappiness.

After the placenta was successfully detached, Aunt Li quickly called the woman's family to help clean up the straw and ash that were dirty under the woman's buttocks.

After settling the mother down and putting straw paper under her, they still have to wait for another hour or two to observe her bleeding.

By this time the child was already wrapped up.

"My apprentice is young and this is her first time delivering a baby, but this guy gave me medicine as if it were free.

She is a health worker and plans to be an obstetrician and gynecologist in the future.

You all will be the heroes who help her become a doctor in the future.

Maybe when your child grows up, gets married and has a baby, it will be my apprentice who will deliver the baby in the hospital." Aunt Li said to the man and mother-in-law while sitting on the kang, smiling.

One was to solve the problem of them having children and feeling uncomfortable with the master and apprentice commenting on them, and the other was to point out that they were not at a disadvantage.

After waiting for two hours, when the bleeding of the woman had subsided, the family took out eggs and money as a token of gratitude and handed them to Aunt Li, then sent them away.

When they returned to Aunt Li's house, her husband had already prepared some dried mugwort and hung it on the door. Aunt Li picked it up and patted it on herself and Su Qiuyue in a casual manner.

Then he entered the yard and threw the pounded mugwort directly into the stove to burn.

"Aunt, what are you doing?" Su Qiuyue didn't understand.

"When a woman gives birth, she bleeds and exudes foul air, which can bring bad luck to others, so we need to use mugwort to pat away the bad luck," Aunt Li explained to her.

"Why is there foul smell in the blood after giving birth?" Su Qiuyue really didn't know this.

"Child, doesn't the blood come out from below? Isn't it dirty?" Aunt Li patted Su Qiuyue and said with a smile.

"Aunt, I don't understand." Su Qiuyue said seriously.

She often heard such statements when she was a child, but she didn't understand them when she was young. Only after she got older and gained liberation did she realize how ridiculous such statements were.

But even in such a modern society, there are still some people who use this kind of rhetoric to belittle women.

"What don't you understand?" Aunt Li was confused by what she said.

"Why do you say women's private parts are dirty? Isn't giving birth a happy thing?

Aren't babies born from women? Why is giving birth a happy thing, but the blood that comes from giving birth is dirty?

Isn't that the price a woman pays for having children?

Besides, aren’t men also born from women?

Women's private parts are dirty, and their blood is dirty, so aren't the children they're born from dirty?" Su Qiuyue couldn't help but ask.

"Oh my God, my ancestors." Aunt Li listened to Su Qiuyue's complaints with her eyes wide open and her mouth open, then she went up and covered her mouth with her hands.

Her husband and children were in another room and did not hear Su Qiuyue's remarks.

"My dear, do you think you are the only one who thinks this way?

As long as you are a woman, no matter whether you have given birth to a child or not, you will think this way once you hear about this.

But what's the use? Everyone says that if you say too much, you will be unruly and full of foul language.

This is passed down from our ancestors." Aunt Li said helplessly.

"You can't argue with everyone just for this.

You still have to do what you have to do.

Isn't this how women have lived since ancient times? "Aunt Li is too old to care about this.

"I don't mean to argue, I'm just annoyed. Not everything our ancestors passed down is right." Su Qiuyue actually knew this, but it really made her feel uncomfortable.

"What's the trouble! No matter how much they say, it can't change the fact that he was born from a woman.

No matter how much I dislike it, he has to find a woman to give birth to his child, and he has to pay me for the delivery.

If your uncle thought the money I earned was unlucky, I would have been a widow long ago.

Just like that dog, when it sees someone squatting to poop, it starts barking and seems to think that you are going to pick up a stone and hit it with it.

When you finish pooping, doesn't he also enjoy eating your shit?

I'll scold you for your dirty shit while I'll lick your asshole clean.

Anyway, you are the one who is clean, so just let it bark a few times, and kick it when you get tired of it.

Next time, I’ll have to wait by your side and wait for you to poop for it to eat.” Aunt Li poked Su Xinyue and said.

This made Su Xinyue couldn't help laughing.

It's true, but the truth is there. It makes me happy when I think about it.

"In the future, there will be many such bastard men and bastard women. If all of them care about us, we will have trouble living like this.

Sometimes you just have to pretend you can't see or hear anything. No one cares about them, and they are the ones who suffer. "Aunt Li said, patting Su Qiuyue on the back.

"Aunt, you are so kind. Thank you." Su Qiuyue said sincerely.

He has wisdom in life and is very insightful. He can also enlighten her. This is a genuine concern and is worthy of her sincere gratitude.

"Why thank you? You are my apprentice now, so it's normal for me to teach you anything.

Thank you so much, when you become a doctor in the future, just remember to say you are my apprentice." Aunt Li said jokingly.

"I will definitely not forget it." Su Qiuyue said with a smile.

After they talked for a while, Aunt Li asked Hu Zi to send Su Qiuyue back.

Su Qiuyue didn't need to go there, it wasn't far, she could just ride her bike back in a short while.

Aunt Li disagreed, saying it was unsafe for her to walk on the road alone.

Because of the buns that Su Qiuyue had given him before, Hu Zi had a good impression of this sister who was not much older than him.

He happily followed Su Qiuyue back.

After sending him to the brigade entrance, Su Qiuyue asked him to go back quickly because it was really unsafe to be outside after dark.

When Su Qiuyue got home, her aunt had already prepared dinner.

He also asked about her going out. Since she had children at home, Su Qiuyue picked out some things she could talk about.

My aunt is happy for the child because she can learn real skills.

There was nothing to do the next day, so Su Qiuyue took out her notes and sorted them out carefully.

I also wrote down some details and feelings based on my previous experiences and this time.

Some of the methods and folk remedies mentioned by Aunt Li were also recorded carefully.

Aunt Li talked to her about iodine yesterday.

Although iodine, alcohol and mercurochrome are common nowadays, they are not easy to obtain.

It's quite precious. People don't use it once a year, but she gives it to them as if it were free.

Su Qiuyue also reflected on herself and realized that she still had some habits of serving her grandson and his wife from her previous life.

Aunt Li said that now they just wash it and scald it with boiling water, or boil the wine and use it as alcohol after it is heated.

Also, take out the cotton from the child's belly button and burn it until it turns into black carbon ash. If it cannot be burned into gray ash, then it is real ash.

After crushing the carbon ash, pinch a little and put it on your belly button. There will be no bacteria, and it can keep your belly button dry. It will not stick to the wound and will fall off with a light touch. Your belly button will heal quickly.

This was passed down from our ancestors.

Su Qiuyue planned to keep them all so that she could use them in the future.

Su Qiuyue was concentrating on her studies, and her sister was very attentive and went to the west room to play with her cousins.

"Is your sister studying?" Aunt asked Xinyue while she was patching up a bench on the kang.

Xinyue nodded.

"Your sister will definitely have a great future. Look how hard she works." My aunt said affirmatively.

"You also have to study hard with your sister, and you will all have a bright future." She did not forget to encourage the children.

The little ones all nodded obediently.

Su Qiuyue took out the picture book she brought and showed it to her younger brothers and sisters.

Xu Ling taught her the words she didn't know and also explained them to her illiterate little cousin. She felt a special sense of accomplishment at this time.

When Su Qiuyue is not studying, she starts making delicious food.

My aunt said that the New Year pig would be slaughtered soon, and their team’s task pig had already been handed in.

Su Qiuyue quickly told her aunt that she would buy more, including some bones and internal organs.

"Aunt, I want to raise some chickens in the spring." Su Qiuyue said.

"Early spring? It's hard to do, there won't be any chicks then.

Generally, hens start laying eggs and hatching chicks in autumn. The temperature is just right, and the chicks will become strong after they shed their feathers before winter.

In spring, chickens become adult chickens, and in summer, they can lay eggs if they have enough insects to eat.

It’s too cold in winter, the hens don’t lay eggs anymore.” said my aunt.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I really didn't know. I thought chicks would appear when the weather was warm." Su Qiuyue finally reacted.

"It is generally difficult for them to lay eggs in winter. Only in the spring when there are insects and grass to eat well will they start to lay eggs slowly." My aunt thought it was okay for her not to know since she had not experienced it.

Su Qiuyue told her aunt to tell her when there were chicks, as she wanted to raise chicks this year.

My aunt nodded and kept the matter to herself.

Like Aunt Li said, famous midwives are very busy at this time.

Two days later, Aunt Li sent another message saying that she was going to deliver a baby.

This time was not as easy as last time. The mother stayed in labor for half a day on the first day but still didn’t give birth.

Aunt Li said that the baby might not be born tonight, so she agreed to come back tomorrow.

On the way, Aunt Li said that such things are common, and only a few women can give birth after going there.

She had also encountered patients who had intermittent pain for several days. It was so painful that it was not easy for them to survive. It is said that giving birth is like stepping into hell.

Saying that giving birth is as easy as laying an egg is just like forgetting the pain once the wound has healed.

Women giving birth are such cheap bastards. The pain is so intense that I wish I would never be a woman again in my next life.

When the child starts to call me mom, when I feed him, I think about how it is so good and how he can still give birth.

We went back chatting and laughing all the way.

The mother will then give birth when it gets dark.

This is not the first child, so there is nothing to remind me.

As long as mother and child are safe, just accept the gift happily.

Aunt Li said that there was another family whose wedding date was coming soon, in Shanghe Village. It was far away, and they might have to stay overnight there, so Su Qiuyue had to talk to her family about it.

When Su Qiuyue came back, she told her aunt about it. She felt much more at ease with her aunt at home.

“My grandma finally realized that my mom wasn’t home, and she scolded me until dawn last night.

She even stood in the yard and cursed in the morning.

It's winter now and everyone is staying indoors. Who would come out to listen to her scolding?

I just don't believe it. Someone in the family needs to recover from an illness, and she is cursing people every day. Is she right?" The eldest cousin said to Su Qiuyue when she came over.

"So you're just going to endure this?" Su Qiuyue felt annoyed just listening to this. It would be too uncomfortable to live like this every day.

"Just hold on. How old is she? I wonder how long she can last." Xu Feng didn't care. She seemed to have gotten used to it in the past two days. She could continue to fall asleep even when she had a rhythmic tapping rhythm.

"My grandma is almost stopping scolding me." said Xu Feng.

"Why?" Su Qiuyue didn't understand.

My aunt was resting in the house. Although she could calm down and recuperate at her home, her body was still weak, so she still felt tired and sleepy.

It's nothing to worry about anyway. I just need to get my health back in shape so I can take care of the whole family.

Several children were playing in the house.

Su Qiuyue and her elder sister were in the kitchen, sitting on small stools watching over the stove. They cut some potato chips and put them on the stove cover to fry.

Eat it as a snack later.

"My dad has taken on some work, and then my grandma will have to stop worrying about it." Xu Feng said nonchalantly.

Su Qiuyue didn't understand, how could a carpenter take on a job without getting scolded by his aunt?

Su Qiuyu pushed her elder sister and asked her to speak.

"My father took on the job of making coffins. Older people think that coffins are kept at home for the elderly.

My grandma wants to live a few more years. She feels that it is foul air." Xu Feng wanted to laugh as he thought about it.

“Everyone thinks making coffins is foul, and as long as they can make a living, no one wants to take it.

My father said that making coffins has always been very profitable, and the wood provided is particularly sufficient, and the excess will not be taken back.

They also say that it is actually a good thing and has good meaning related to wealth.

In the past, children with bad luck or who were always sick or injured would look for families with coffins and crawl under them. That's what Maikaner meant." Xu Feng explained to her.

Su Qiuyue didn't care much about this matter, but many people do care about it now.

My cousin wants to pay back the money quickly. A carpenter like him who can make furniture and build houses doesn't need to take such work.

In fact, this is a good thing. Others will think that the two families are really broke and that is why they take this kind of job.

Now it was confirmed that the family was short of money.

In addition, when it comes to making coffins, neither the person who makes the coffin nor the person who orders it will tell others how much money they spent, so my cousin's family will be able to save some money in the future.
