Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 63 – Mother and Baby Are Safe!

Ji Jianyun immediately got up. The first thing he did was try to calm Su Danhong down, and then he went to turn on the lights. They had electricity installed now and no longer needed to use an oil lamp.

“Danhong, hold on! I’m going to go get Mother!” Ji Jianyun said immediately.

Su Danhong nodded. “Hurry!”

Even if her Jianyun was a capable man, he was a girl on the sedan chair when it came to a woman birthing a baby. This was the first birth, so how could he understand how it went?

Mother Ji was more reliable!

Ji Jianyun knocked on the door as soon as possible, and Mother Ji quickly got up. She guessed that it would happen any day now, but she didn’t expect it to be a little faster than she thought.

“Jianyun, don’t worry, the baby has just started moving. It’s not that fast. Go find Aunt Gu. She is an expert at delivering babies in our village. She helped deliver all your brothers.” Mother Ji was very calm about the situation.

Moreover, she had already spoken to Aunt Gu about it, and Aunt Gu had agreed to help.

Ji Jianyun immediately rushed over and knocked on the door of the old Gu family. “Aunt Gu! Aunt Gu! Open the door!”

The voice was so loud that the old Gu family could not even pretend to not hear it.

“It’s the middle of the night! Who is it?!” Old man Gu could not help it and retorted since he had just fallen asleep and was awakened.

“Doesn’t that sound like Jianyun?” Aunt Gu also got up. She froze for a moment and wondered, “Is it possible that Jianyun’s wife is in labor?”

“Then go quickly. If he keeps hitting the door like that, we will have to change it tomorrow,” Old man Gu said.

Aunt Gu couldn’t do anything else about it. Giving birth was a big deal.

She got dressed and soon came out.

“Jianyun, is your wife in labor?” Aunt Gu asked when she opened the door.

“Yes! Aunt, please come with me. My wife is worried!” Ji Jianyun responded.

“Wait, aunt needs to take some things…”

Ji Jianyun interrupted, “There’s no need, we have everything at home!”

As soon as Aunt Gu heard this, she followed him right away.

“Mom, why are you outside? You didn’t go in to be with Danhong?” As soon as Ji Jianyun got home, he saw her mother waiting outside.

“She’s just in labor, don’t be nervous.” Mother Ji was getting annoyed. The fetal position was in the correct direction, so she told Aunt Gu, “Come in and examine Danhong.”

“Okay.” Aunt Gu nodded and went into the room.

Ji Jianyun wanted to go in, but was stopped by Mother Ji. “Leave. Why is a man coming in here? Danhong is in labor. I am boiling water in the kitchen, so go and watch it. If the water starts boiling, bring it!”

With that, she closed the door.

Outside the door, Ji Jianyun was still anxious. His original calm composure was gone, but he could still stand and stay on his feet thanks to his training in the army over the years!

He foolishly stayed outside the door for a long time until Mother Ji called out to him, “Jianyun, has the water boiled yet?”

It was only then that he came to his senses and answered, “I’ll go and have a look!”

With that, he hurried to the kitchen.

Near the door, Mother Ji was shocked and suddenly smiled at Aunt Gu and said, “Look at this child, it’s only been a while and he is showing his true character.”

“When my old man became a father for the first time, he was like this. Wasn’t your old man the same?” Aunt Gu chuckled.

“It’s all in the past and you still bring it up,” Mother Ji gave her a side glance.

Su Danhong, who was in bed, wanted to cry out: Mother, aunt, can you pay attention to me? I’m in labor!

As if her thoughts were read, Aunt Gu checked on her and said, “Jianyun’s wife, calm down. The fetal position is correct, and the opening is widening. Don’t worry, the baby will be born soon.”

“When will the baby come out? My belly hurts so much!” Su Danhong could still bear it for now. She had a cramping pain in her stomach, as if she had just fallen.

“Just bear with it, you’ve just started contractions. Even if the contractions are fast, it won’t be that fast after a while. If you can give birth by this time tomorrow, then it will be a very fast birth,” Aunt Gu remarked.

Mother Ji also chuckled. She had given birth to five children. So how could she be inexperienced about this?

“Oh! But I always thought it was going to be extremely fast!” Su Danhong had to say.

“That’s what it feels like to everyone.” Aunt Gu was still very calm.

Mother Ji comforted her. “It’s not that fast. We usually wait until it’s ten fingers wide before the birth happens.”

“Mother, show me how many fingers it is. I really think it won’t be long!” Su Danhong exclaimed at once.

Seeing her like this, Mother Ji was a bit skeptical. She took a look and was shocked. She called Aunt Gu over from the side, “Gu Dajie, come and take a look. It looks like the baby will be coming soon?”

Aunt Gu was confused and came over to have a look. She was also shocked. What “coming soon”? It was obvious that she was ready.

“Oh my god, I’ve been delivering babies for most of my life, but this is really fast!” After Aunt Gu shouted that. They promptly entered the most tense part of delivering a baby.

“Jianyun, is the hot water ready? Your wife is giving birth!” Mother Ji shouted quickly.

“It’s ready! It’s ready!” Ji Jianyun immediately replied. He scooped out the hot water and brought it over.

Mother Ji took it from him. Ji Jianyun still wanted to go in, but he was stopped by his mother again. “Stay here! Don’t come in and trouble Danhong!”

Ji Jianyun was so scared that he didn’t dare go in. He could only shout outside the door, “Honey, just bear it! Stay strong! After we have this one, we will not have another one!”

“No more, no more.” Su Danhong followed his words.

“Jianyun’s wife, if you push harder, then the baby will come out sooner!” Aunt Gu explained.

Mother Ji was on the side wiping Su Danhong’s sweat. Her pretty face was flushed with pain.

But even so, she tried hard to push.

“Jianyun, Jianyun, where are you?” Su Danhong was in terrible pain. She couldn’t help it and called out Ji Jianyun’s name.

Ji Jianyun was outside the door and immediately replied, “Honey, honey, I’m here. You?”

“I’m in a lot of pain. I can’t stand the pain! Ah!” Su Danhong shouted, and there was another scream.

Ji Jianyun tried to push the door open several times, but was blocked by Mother Ji. “A woman’s body is weak when she gives birth. Don’t make a mess, just encourage Danhong from outside.”

Aunt Gu added, “Jianyun, don’t worry, your wife is fast. It usually takes a day for a woman to give birth.”

“Did you sleep through the labor pains?” Mother Ji asked Su Danhong.

“I don’t know. I was sleeping and then I felt my stomach hurting.” Su Danhong gasped.

With how she appeared like a delicate young lady, Aunt Gu guessed it was happening so fast because she was giving birth for the first time and slept through the labor pains.

She was truly a fortunate one.

If she wasn’t, then it was going to take a long time.

But even with her fortune, the process was from past three o’clock at night to five o’clock in the morning. It was dawn when a loud baby’s cry came from the room.

“Jianyun, mother and baby are safe!”
