Chapter 65: How’s the Situation?

Chen Guoqiang replied, “Captain, we trust Educated Youth Song. It was her who noticed that Chunhua wasn’t acting right.”

Aunt Chen spoke up, “Old Third, you and your father and brothers stay with the captain and Technician Li. We’re heading off to get busy.”

She glanced at her two daughters-in-law. “Eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, come with me to the kitchen.”

The two daughters-in-law followed Aunt Chen into the kitchen.

Aunt Chen took out the eggs and brown sugar she had been saving, preparing to make brown sugar eggs.

One portion was for Yang Chunhua, and the other was for those who had come to help, including Song Yue.

Inside the Room

Song Yue stood beside the bed, looking down at Yang Chunhua.

“Chunhua, the process might be a bit painful. If it hurts, don’t hold it in—just scream.”

Yang Chunhua nodded. “Alright.”

Song Yue placed her hands on Yang Chunhua’s swollen belly. “Let’s begin.”

With that, she started moving her hands across Chunhua’s stomach.

The already prominent belly began to shift in shape…

Yang Chunhua’s face gradually turned pale.

Even the midwife, who had seen plenty of births, felt her heart pound at the sight, a little unnerved.

Song Yue remained calm, her gaze fixed on Yang Chunhua’s stomach as she carefully moved her hands.

“Hiss—”

At first, Yang Chunhua could endure it, but soon the pain became unbearable. Remembering what Song Yue had said earlier, she stopped suppressing herself.

She let out a cry. “Ah…”

Outside in the courtyard, a few people heard the scream and turned their heads toward the room in alarm.

The captain looked at Chen Guoqiang. “Is she giving birth already?”

Chen Guoqiang wasn’t sure. “I don’t think so?”

“I’ll go check.”

Chen Guoqiang got up and went to the door. “Educated Youth Song, is my wife giving birth now?”

The midwife responded, “Not yet. Comrade Song is correcting the fetal position.”

Another loud scream rang out. “Ah!”

A few minutes later—

Song Yue withdrew her hands and let out a deep breath. “It’s done.”

She turned to the midwife. “Sister, it’s your turn now.”

“I need a break.”

After saying that, Song Yue moved to a chair and sat down to rest.

The midwife was in disbelief.

That was it? It only took her two or three minutes?

Still in shock, she asked, “The position is fixed?”

Song Yue nodded, her voice slightly fatigued. “Yes.”

To confirm, the midwife placed her hands on Chunhua’s belly.

One touch!

Sure enough, the baby had shifted from a dangerous breech position to a normal head-down position.

This…

Comrade Song really had some skills!

With the fetal position corrected, the midwife took over the delivery.

Song Yue sat to the side to recover.

Even though it had only taken a few minutes, for her, it felt like an eternity. It had drained her concentration and energy completely.

“Ding~”

A familiar system notification sounded in her ear.

“Host has used the Fetal Repositioning Technique to avert a childbirth crisis, earning 70 points.”

Seventy points?

Song Yue frowned. That seemed a bit low.

“Current points…”

Another notification appeared. “Ding~”

“Host has diagnosed and treated a patient, earning 20 points.”

“Current points: 165.”

Song Yue: “…”

No complaints.

As the midwife encouraged Chunhua to push, and Chunhua gritted her teeth to bear down, Song Yue sat quietly, waiting.

She wanted to step outside for some air, but it wasn’t the right time. She could only wait until the baby was delivered and settled before leaving.

Time Passed

About half an hour later, the baby was born.

The midwife lightly flicked the baby’s foot.

The newborn opened its mouth and let out a loud cry.

Hearing the baby’s cry, a smile appeared on Song Yue’s lips.

Those sitting outside in the courtyard all stood up excitedly, looking toward the room in anticipation.

Aunt Chen and the two daughters-in-law, who had been busy in the kitchen, rushed out.

“It’s born!”

Chen Guoqiang shouted in excitement. “It’s born!”

“Mom! The baby’s here!”

Aunt Chen gave him a playful glare. “It’s your wife who gave birth!”

The second daughter-in-law suddenly asked, “Third Brother, hurry and ask—did she have a girl or a boy?”

At that moment, the atmosphere suddenly turned silent.

Realizing she had said something inappropriate, the second daughter-in-law tried to find a way to change the topic.

Chen Guoqiang grinned. “Doesn’t matter what the baby is—we love them all the same.”

The second daughter-in-law’s expression stiffened. “…”

---

Inside the room, the midwife wrapped the baby in a cloth and placed it beside Yang Chunhua. “Congratulations, it’s a handsome little boy.”

Tears welled up in Yang Chunhua’s eyes. “Thank you, Sister.”

“Thank you, Educated Youth Song.”

The midwife shook her head. “No need to thank me. You should mainly thank Comrade Song.”

“Honestly, if it weren’t for her today, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything.”

Song Yue smiled. “Sister, that’s not right—we should thank everyone.”

Chunhua choked up. “Either way, I’m grateful to all of you.”

Knock, knock.

A knock came at the door.

Aunt Chen’s voice followed. “Sister, Educated Youth Song, can we come in now?”

Both Song Yue and the midwife answered at the same time, “Yes.”

“Come in.”

Aunt Chen pushed the door open and quickly closed it behind her.

She moved carefully and asked softly, “How are Chunhua and the baby?”

The midwife beamed. “Mother and son are safe.”

Aunt Chen was so delighted that she said “good” three times in a row. “Good, good, good! Sister, Educated Youth Song, thank you for your hard work.”

“We made some brown sugar eggs for you. They’re ready. You should eat while we check on Chunhua and the baby.”

“Alright.”

Song Yue and the midwife responded, then left the room.

Outside, the captain and Chen family members called them over to sit.

The tractor driver, Li, curiously studied Song Yue.

Who would’ve thought that this seemingly frail young girl not only knew medicine but could also help deliver a baby?

She herself looked like a little girl.

Noticing Li’s gaze, Song Yue recognized him—he was the one who had driven the tractor that brought them from the commune to the educated youth station.

If she remembered correctly, his name was Li Ping?

Song Yue turned to give him a polite smile.

Unexpectedly—

As soon as she looked over, Li Ping quickly lowered his head.

Song Yue: “…”

Just then, the Chen family’s daughters-in-law came out carrying the prepared brown sugar eggs.

They handed them to Song Yue and the midwife.

“Educated Youth Song, here.”

“Auntie, here.”

“Thank you.”

“Much appreciated.”

“No need to be polite.”

Of course, the brown sugar eggs weren’t just for Song Yue and the midwife.

The captain, Li Ping, Chen’s father, the eldest brother, and the second brother also received a portion.

---

After eating, Chen Guoqiang took out two red envelopes—one for Song Yue and one for the midwife.

Inside was their payment for their hard work.

After accepting the red envelopes, Song Yue sat for a while before getting ready to return to the educated youth station. She had to work the next morning, after all.

The captain, who was also heading back, decided to leave with her. Li Ping was also going.

As for the midwife, she would be staying at the Chen household overnight to keep an eye on Chunhua, just in case any complications arose.

Song Yue hopped onto the tractor and rumbled back to the educated youth station.

Outside Li Hongjun’s House

In the dark night, Zhou Ye, crouched outside, suddenly perked up at the sound of an engine.

He turned sharply to Lu Huaishen.

“Boss, it sounds like thunder. Should we head back first?”
