Chapter 319 No little piglet is as cute as my little brother Raindrop.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoman and the other children immediately squeezed through the crowd.
They jumped for joy.
"Wow, it really happened! A bright red little piglet, just like Raindrop when she was little!"
"Yes, yes, little piglet, Xiao Bao saw the little piglet."
"Mommy is so amazing!"
"Aunt Chang'er is amazing!"
The other little boys were also jumping around happily, but although the little rascals were excited, they seemed to have reached a certain tacit understanding.
They didn't want to cause trouble for Lin Chang'er, so they tacitly kept their distance from her.
Aunt Liu hurried over and indeed saw a piglet lying under the sow, grunting.
Aunt Liu was overjoyed, "Old man, it's born! It's alive!"
He then rushed to check on Lin Chang'er, "Chang'er, how are you? Are you alright?"
"It's alright!" Lin Chang'er sat up, picked up the piglet, and gently pushed it against the mother's belly with both hands.
The sow was in a lot of pain and kept screaming, but she probably sensed that Lin Chang'er had come to help her.
He seemed to have calmed down and stopped kicking her with his hooves, instead cooperating with her movements during childbirth.
After the first piglet was born, the subsequent piglets fared much better.
An hour later, the ten piglets were safely delivered, and their gestational membranes were successfully expelled!
Lin Chang'er then used hot water to clean the sow's incision and sewed it up with cotton thread.
They then sprinkled the hemostatic medicine they had brought on the wound, and thoughtfully wrapped it with gauze to prevent infection.
Finally, he handed a packet of herbs to Aunt Liu, saying, "In a little while, decoct this medicine and give it to the pig to drink. It's all from around here. Let it drink for seven days. During these seven days, don't drive the pig back into the pigpen. Let it stay outside for now. Make sure to clean up the manure and other waste promptly, otherwise the wound will become infected and it won't be good!"
Aunt Liu took it, tears of gratitude streaming down her face. "Good, good, Chang'er, you've really helped Aunt Liu a lot today!"
"You must be tired. Come inside and rest for a while. We'll eat at Aunt Liu's house tonight!"
Looking at the ten plump, white piglets, Uncle Liu chuckled and said, "Yes, Chang'er, you'll eat at Uncle Liu's house tonight."
Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "We're all from the same village, no need to be so polite."
“That won’t do. It’s too much trouble for you. You haven’t even had a sip of hot water. Aunt Liu will be too ashamed to go out.”
Lin Chang'er laughed and said, "Sixth Aunt, I'm not being polite, but I have guests at home today. I'll come over for a meal another day! I'll head back now. My guests are waiting for me."
"Okay... then, don't just say it, you definitely have to come when we eat pig's blood during the New Year."
"Of course!" Lin Chang'er replied casually, picking up the first-aid kit from the ground.
The little ones immediately swarmed around.
"Auntie, are we going back now?"
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Yes, Headmaster Chen, Grandpa Chen, and your uncle are still at home!"
Gu Xiaoman nodded and muttered softly, "But Xiaobao said he wants to see the piglets again."
Zhou Yi, who wanted to see the little piglet: "..." Xiao Bao is not, Xiao Bao doesn't have it.
Zhou Yi said, "Xiao Bao didn't say it, it was his older brother who said it. His older brother wants to hug the little piglet!"
"My brother also said that the little piglet looks exactly like my little brother Raindrop when he was a baby. Holding the little piglet is just like, just like, holding my little brother Raindrop."
Lin Chang'er couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The surrounding villagers also burst into laughter.
Someone joked, "Xiaoman, do you know how much you miss Yudian'er?"
Gu Xiaoman blushed instantly, looking at Zhou Yi with a slightly annoyed expression. This younger brother is unreliable. Humph, I won't secretly give you candy anymore.
Gu Xiaoman pouted, "I was just saying, I didn't mean to hug a piglet!"
"No little piglet is as cute as my little brother Raindrop! My little brother is the cutest, hmph!"
Then, with a swift step, he swaggered off towards home.
Gu Xiaolu giggled, "Mom, Xiaoman is shy! I'll go see!"
Li Qingning immediately followed, "I'm going too!"
"I, I'll go too..." Zhou Yi was frantic and chased after them, his legs wobbling.
The other little boys followed suit in a flash.
Only Lin Chang'er remained, carrying the medicine box, swaying and dangling behind.
At this moment, having finished watching the excitement, Chen Shanzhang and Chen Yuanwai, who had gone to the Gu family's residence first, had already arrived at the entrance of the Gu family's courtyard.
Li Xun, Gu Ziyan, and Chen Zhao were older than Chen Shanzhang, and unlike Chen Shanzhang, they didn't have the childish temper that often gets into trouble, so they didn't join in the fun.
They helped Aunt Gu wash and soak the beans, and also helped her prepare the vegetables for dinner.
Aunt Gu was delighted to see the three of them, and she even took them to her private plot of land not far from the door to pick some greens and radishes.
When I returned, I happened to run into Headmaster Chen and Master Chen at the door.
After exchanging greetings, Chen Shanzhang and his companion very politely let Aunt Gu enter first.
He then spoke with Master Chen from behind.
Chen Shanchang stroked his beard, still reeling from the decisive moment Lin Chang'er had wielded the scalpel to assist in childbirth. He sighed and said, "What a pity. If it had been a boy, I would have taken him under my wing and taught him well."
Master Chen looked bewildered. "Uncle, it's rare to see such a thing. Over the years, Yunhai Academy has produced at least a thousand students, and not one of them has caught your eye. But Chang'er is different..."
She paused for a moment, then said, "It's alright! If we can't take her as a student, we can adopt her as a goddaughter! That way, she'll have someone to look after her in the future. Besides, let me tell you..."
Just as Master Chen leaned closer, a string of children came running up the road. When they reached the door, the whole bunch of kids stopped.
They practically lined up to greet the two men, saying, "Hello, Headmaster! Hello, Grandpa Chen!"
Then they entered the courtyard in an orderly fashion, but the moment they stepped across the threshold, they immediately let loose and became carefree again.
Gu Xiaoman called out towards the kitchen, "Grandma, Grandma, we're back!"
Aunt Gu put down the greens and radishes and came out from inside, smiling gently at the children, "Oh, has Aunt Liu's sow given birth yet? You're all sweaty from running around, come here and let Grandma wipe you down!"
Gu Xiaoman chirped as she leaned closer, "It's born! It gave birth to ten little piglets! Auntie delivered them!"
"Oh, I see! Your aunt is really amazing!" Aunt Gu said, raising her sleeve to wipe Gu Xiaoman's sweat.
"Yes, yes! Auntie is amazing. Even a sow can't give birth by herself. Xiaoman should learn from Auntie in the future."
Aunt Gu's smile grew even brighter. "Then Xiaoman, remember this well. You must learn from your aunt and not be a liar!"
Gu Xiaoman nodded with a serious expression.
Zhou Yi waited anxiously to the side, "Grandma, Grandma, Xiao Bao needs to wipe his sweat too!"
Gu Xiaolu comforted him from the side, "Xiaobao, don't rush, take it one at a time."
Zhou Yi's agitated state was immediately calmed down. "Xiao Bao, don't rush, take it one at a time."
The little ones were lining up to wipe their sweat, while Lin Chang'er returned with her medicine kit.
She had been to a pigsty, so her feet and skirt inevitably got dirty.
She seemed completely unconcerned. As she passed by Headmaster Chen and Master Chen, she cheerfully greeted them, saying, "Sorry to have kept you waiting. I'll go back to my room to change my clothes, and then I'll take you to visit the primary school!"
After saying that, he carried his small medicine box back into the house.
Headmaster Chen watched her retreating figure, stroking his beard repeatedly. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Master Chen and suddenly realized that his nephew's suggestion might not be entirely out of the question...
