Chapter 528 Difficult Birth
Lin Chang'er: "..." The little guy wasn't actually scared; he was just a beat slow to realize how to express his shock.
Lin Chang'er tapped Yudian'er's nose, "Oh my, look how happy Yudian'er is, does she like watching this?"
Raindrops waved their little hands in response, and perhaps feeling that wasn't enough, they kicked their feet as well, their little mouths babbling incessantly.
Lin Chang'er was infected by the baby's energy and laughed out loud, "Good, good, good! From now on, when we test the big firecrackers, we'll have Grandpa bring raindrops with him!"
As long as the child isn't afraid, it's not a bad thing to expose them to such influences.
Having been exposed to this environment since childhood, her father will have no worries about finding an heir in the future.
Under the moonlight, the Linhai slowly sailed back to the dock, cutting through the waterway on the calm sea.
After reaching the shore, the large net was pulled in, revealing a sea of white-bellied fish. Some fish were even frantically thrashing their tails and pounding the net.
In the past, some ancestors of the villagers in Linshui Village went out to sea to fish. However, because they were all small, private fishing boats, they were not very able to withstand the wind and waves and often did not return.
Gradually, the villagers' livelihoods shifted to mainly farming and odd jobs.
So it was not only the first time the children had ridden on a large boat, but also the first time they had seen such a grand fishing scene.
He yelled and pounced on the fish to hug it...
Not only the children, but also the men who accompanied them, and the adults who waited at the dock to pick up their children after class, were all extremely excited.
Because the sea area they went to this time was relatively deep, the fish they caught were many times larger than those they usually catch in the near sea.
However, the adults were generally quite restrained; they wouldn't act without Lin Chang'er giving them a heads-up. The children, on the other hand, were different.
They roared and rushed forward to hug the big fish they had chosen. Some of them were stunned by the waves, while others were simply caught in the big net.
Gu Xiaoman was lucky; she picked one that had been knocked unconscious and was still standing, and it was about as tall as her.
Laughing, he picked it up and ran, but it slipped halfway. He then grabbed the fish by the head and dragged it by the tail, trying his best to pull the big fish back into the basket.
Zhou Yi was rather unlucky; he chose a lively, jumping fish, and sure enough, after the little guy was fed well, it became quite agile.
At first, he actually managed to hug her.
They grabbed the fish and ran, but once out of the water, the fish struggled desperately, its tail thrashing loudly, hitting the little child several times.
In the end, she came back crying while holding the fish, which made the adults watching feel both sorry for her and amused.
Zhou Mu took the big fish from his son's arms, and Zhou's sister-in-law helped wipe the water off the child's face. Little Bao, not forgetting to tattle, said, "The fish is bad, it hit Little Bao..."
It really upset the child...
Zhou Mu and his wife laughed and comforted the child, "Yes, the fish is naughty. How about I chop it up and make fish head soup for Xiao Bao later?"
"Okay!" Xiao Bao was immediately coaxed, but when he took the fish he had brought back to find Lin Chang'er, his eyes were still filled with tears.
This left Lin Chang'er both amused and exasperated.
Tonight's harvest was bountiful, and the villagers worked overtime to sort and process the produce.
The smallest live fish were released back into the sea, and the crabs were tied up and sent to the icehouse.
Since the space opened up two modes, Lin Chang'er used the ice storage to make ice. She built an ice storage under the warehouse, which also made it easier to hide.
Of course, she would only openly store the items in the icehouse. Later, Lin Chang'er would find time to put them all into her spatial storage and take them out when she finally left the storage. In any case, everything had to go through her hands.
As for mantis shrimp and other small, live ones, they are released back into the sea and then sorted by size.
Because there were so many things, by the time everything was sorted out, Lin Chang'er had already arranged for delivery.
Fortunately, there are enough people now, and everyone is still working in an orderly manner. Except for the villagers who worked overtime all night, after having a hot breakfast in the small canteen, Lin Chang'er gave them a day off.
Lin Chang'er knew that a day's rest was not enough for adults, but since the night shift was already shortened by an hour, she was allowed to leave early when things weren't busy.
So she only gave him one day off and paid him three times the normal wage. In addition, now that conditions allowed, Lin Chang'er had higher requirements for the quality of the fish entering the warehouse.
Some of the fish that didn't meet the standards were used as employee benefits, while others were sold at low prices at the market. That's why the workers on the night shift were carrying fish home last night.
Although the villagers in Linshui Village have been eating at the small canteen for a long time, many families rarely cook anymore.
But you can give it as a gift, right?
So even though everyone had been busy all night, my brother was in high spirits and full of energy, and didn't even feel very sleepy.
Children also receive rewards, of course.
Lin Chang'er has always been more tolerant of children, so the fish that were given to the children were chosen by them themselves.
Wu Qingfeng was still on holiday. After breakfast, he and Lin Chang'er prepared to rest.
The children were looked after by Mrs. Wu, Aunt Xu, and a few others.
Lin Chang'er had been busy all night and felt sticky all over, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower first. After washing up, she happily lay down on the soft quilt.
Exhausted, Lin Chang'er closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep upon returning to her familiar surroundings.
I felt like I had only slept for a short while when there was another knock on the door.
"Chang'er, Chang'er..." It sounded like Aunt Gu's voice.
Lin Chang'er suddenly opened her eyes and instinctively asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"Someone from Caijia Village said that Cai Shitou's wife is about to give birth, and Cai Shitou is already heading home. I was originally going to have Liu Zi prepare some brown sugar and rice wine to send over, but I just heard that his wife seems to be having a difficult labor..."
Just as Aunt Gu finished speaking, Lin Chang'er put on her clothes and opened the door. "What does 'not being able to give birth' mean?"
Aunt Gu's face darkened. "They said the child was lying sideways."
Malposition of the fetus? Lin Chang'er understood; this was also a risk in later generations.
Lin Chang'er frowned. "Cai Shitou went back in such a hurry? He didn't even mention going to get a doctor or anything?"
In her later life, she read novels or watched TV dramas. People in this era also had their own ways of living. Although there was no cesarean section, some midwives or doctors had the expertise to adjust the position of the fetus.
Cai Shitou went back by himself, unable to help with anything, and this matter was difficult to resolve.
Seeing her expression, Aunt Gu also said with concern, "I saw how well you took care of the Cai family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before, so I came to ask you for advice."
Lin Chang'er pressed her temples. She was more concerned and tolerant of women and children, but she was not a pushover.
But Cai Shitou is now working for her and his performance is quite good. He has also applied to join their coastal defense team and has passed the assessment.
Lin Chang'er also transferred him from the composting worker to another position.
This is a matter of life and death; it can't even be considered humanitarian concern.
"Mother, go tell the old doctor first, and when you go out, have Ah Da prepare the carriage. I'll change my clothes and leave for Caijia Village right away!"
