I have a fiancée in Siheyuan

Chapter 156 Sow Gives Birth

jingle……

Bai Baoshan was awakened by the alarm clock. He opened his eyes and looked at the watch. It was 6 o'clock.

I had to go to work today, so I was a little dazed and carefully pulled my hand out from under Qiao Yun's head.

I looked at Qiao Yun who was still squeezing her own.

He moved his body away and covered her with the quilt.

It was over 10 degrees below zero outside, and the temperature inside was not much better. It felt like less than 5 degrees at most.

Although there is water heating, it doesn't heat up as quickly as a fireplace. I'll wait and see if I can build a house next year. Bai Baoshan's idea is to buy the house next door and then connect the three rooms together, so that it will be more comfortable.

Turn on the water from the tap and let out some water for washing, then add some more.

While brushing my teeth, I was thinking about whether I could move to another house, or see if I could get the factory to allocate me a house nearby.

After all, I am a section-level cadre, so it’s not too much to ask for a small private courtyard.

The temperature inside the house was much higher than outside, so the water pipes weren't frozen, luckily.

There was nothing else to do in the morning. I took out the sea cucumber that was soaked yesterday, cut it into small pieces, boiled some water in a pot, added various ingredients, boiled the sea cucumber first, blanched it to remove the fishy smell, put it in a casserole, added two handfuls of millet, and chopped up the large white mushrooms grown in a space and put them in, added water, turned on the coal stove, and put the casserole on the stove.

Wait for an hour and the simplest millet stewed sea cucumber will be ready.

(If you want a professional one, go watch professional tutorials online. They say it’s too troublesome. I’ve tried it on airplanes, and the taste is about the same as this. There are also different methods that can be discussed.)

After several months of hard work, Bai Baoshan has now learned how to make simple steamed buns using a ground pot.

If it comes to other stir-fried dishes, Qiao Yun has to come and ask Bai Baoshan to make a stew, which is his specialty.

After cleaning up here, I looked at the time and it was almost 7 o'clock, so I stirred the millet porridge with a spoon.

Look at the little cutie on the bed.

What if he doesn’t wake up?

Put the cold little hand on your forehead for three seconds...

Hehe...it works really well.

"Brother...good morning." Qiao Yun said this in a daze without even opening her eyes.

"It's getting late, it's 7 o'clock, hurry up and get up. I'll wait for you to clean up and the meal will be ready."

In the end, Qiao Yun was dragged out of bed by Bai Baoshan.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the days are getting colder day by day.

While eating, let Qiao Yun read a book at home today.

I'll bring her something delicious when I get back in the evening.

The girl disagreed at first, but after coming back from the toilet, she nodded her little head like a chick.

Bai Baoshan rubbed Qiao Yun's little head and said, "Girl, when you are at home, lock the door. If someone knocks on the door, say hello before opening it. Don't open the door for just anyone."

"Brother, I'm not stupid, hehe..."

Although it is cold, I still have to ride my bike there. It will be even colder if I walk on the road.

Wear a thick hat, which is said to be made of bear skin, and gloves.

Bai Baoshan has never done any research on this, and he has never come into contact with a bear in his previous life. How can he know if this is true? If you say it is made of panda skin, I would believe it.

Wearing a mask and a scarf knitted for me, it would be nice to have a warm helmet.

Well...it's better to have a car.

You still have to work hard.

Try to reach level 7 so that you can get a private car. When you reach level 13, you can also take the public bus. It seems that you are now level 18, so the distance is not too far, right?

"Morning, Director Bai."

"Well, good morning, thank you for your hard work."

Bai Baoshan entered the factory gate and the security department greeted him as usual.

Bai Baoshan just nodded in response.

Do you want me to give you cigarettes like I did before?

I want to eat shit.

Bai Baoshan arrived at the office door.

As soon as the door opened, Liu Datian ran over.

"Director Bai, you're here. Pig No. 2 is not feeling well. We thought it was going to give birth, but it isn't. It won't eat and just hums softly. Please go and check it out." Liu Datian was sweating profusely.

"The other two are okay."

"I'm fine, but I'm not in a good condition. But I can still eat."

"I see. I'll get the stuff later."

Maybe it's because there are too many cubs in the womb and artificial delivery is needed. It would be better if this happened in space.

There are so many people here, we can't chase them all away.

Take all the medicines and tools you can.

Don’t worry about anything else for now, just wait and see what the situation is when you get there.

"Make way, the director is here."

Bai Baoshan nodded to everyone and lay down in the pigpen to look at the pigs.

I couldn't see anything, so I washed my hands with disinfectant.

After entering the pigsty, No. 2 saw Bai Baoshan, grunted twice, tilted his head to one side, and gasped.

Bai Baoshan first checked the stomach, but couldn't see anything.

The mental power stretched out and enveloped the sow's belly.

No. 2 is the smallest in size, but there are quite a lot of them, a total of 21.

It's difficult for it.

Bai Baoshan turned around and saw Zhang Shuhua who was at the outermost corner. "Sister Zhang, go to the canteen warehouse and ask Sister Zhou for 10 eggs. Come back quickly."

"Hey, I'll go right away." Then he ran out.

Within 5 minutes, not only Zhang Shuhua came, but also Zhou Lanqing and Xiao Haoping came.

Bai Baoshan cracked all the eggs and stirred them.

He took out a glass bottle from the medicine box. This was a nutrient solution for livestock. It also had a slight effect of inducing labor and could quickly replenish nutrition, much like the Red Bull that humans drink.

Adding eggs will make it even better.

I touched the pig's head and put the bowl of eggs close to the pig's mouth. Fortunately, it could still eat. It slurped the eggs in two mouthfuls, and the whole bowl of eggs went into its stomach. It also licked it.

After eating, I saw that there was no more, so I continued to lie down and hum.

After another 10 minutes, it must have taken effect, the humming sound became noticeably louder.

Even the two rows of grain outlets began to ooze milky white grain.

It seems sufficient.

Bai Baoshan comforted them with his hands. They waited until lunch time, when he let everyone else go to eat.

Pigs are not human beings, so they can't say anything. They just groan in pain.

Bai Baoshan stood up and was about to leave the pigpen.

Number 2 actually started howling.

Bai Baoshan came back and saw that No. 2 was lying on the ground motionless.

Tried it again, same thing.

Well...it's all my fault.

Bai Baoshan asked someone to bring him a small stool and he was not allowed to eat, otherwise it would cause discomfort to the pigs.

I can only wait here.

This wait is 3 hours.

It was past 2 o'clock, and even Director Huang, Deputy Director Li and the secretary came to take a look.

Number 2 suddenly became uneasy.

Bai Baoshan hurriedly stood up to comfort her, and it turned out that she was about to give birth.

The process went pretty smoothly.

Send someone to get a bucket of wood ash.

For newborn piglets, rub them with wood ash and dry them.

After about an hour, all the babies were born, and they were all chubby.

The same number as tested at that time, a total of 21.

The people who raise pigs are all from the village. They know very well how many pigs give birth to in one litter. Thirteen or fourteen is normal, while sixteen or seventeen is a lot.

Never stopped for more than 20.

Wang Daguo even wiped his tears and said that his love for the animal was not in vain.

No. 2 is small, so I want to feed it more and make it grow bigger.

Even the cabbage stalks are sometimes fresher than those of other pigs.

Others were also delighted.

Bai Baoshan asked someone to get five more eggs and added two medicines, one for postpartum recovery and the other for quickly replenishing physical strength.

At this time, no one would say that pigs feel sorry for eating eggs.

By the time No. 2 was able to stand up, it was almost 6 o'clock.

Liu Datian brought over the pig food that he had specially cooked for it.

Most of the tank was poured out.

No. 2 ignored the food he usually liked and kept sniffing at a bunch of piglets.

From time to time, he would gently nudge the piglets and lick their bellies.

This is the method of identifying the cub by smell.

He turned around, ate all the dinner in the trough with a grunt, returned to the nest with a shaking belly, and fell down.

Fortunately, it didn't fall on the little ones, otherwise this litter would have only been able to eat suckling piglets.

One by one, the piglets that were rooting around were forced to find their food sources.

No. 2 just hummed a few times.

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the secretary and Director Li's secretary were still waiting at the door, Bai Baoshan hurried out of the pigsty and washed his hands.

Secretary Wang’s secretary is Wu Jianshe, and Li Huaide’s secretary is Li Zhongtian.

"Secretary Wu, Secretary Li, why haven't you left work yet?" Bai Baoshan offered each of them a cigarette.

The two of them didn't act pretentiously. They just took it and held it without even trying.

"Director Bai, aren't we waiting for your news? What's going on?"

“Haha… you’ve been waiting for a long time, don’t worry, the one we marked as number 2 gave birth, and it gave birth to 21 cubs.

I think the other two will be pregnant soon, probably in the next two days. They all got pregnant at the same time, so the births are probably around the same time."

"Okay, Director Bai, thank you for your concern. Secretary Li and I will go back and report. The leader is waiting."

"Okay, I won't keep you two here. Go back quickly. I think the leaders are waiting anxiously."

After seeing the two off, Bai Baoshan returned.

Now that the baby has been born, there is no need to keep so many people.

It's time to get off work. Those on duty should take turns to watch and make sure No. 2 doesn't roll over and crush the piglets.

Bai Baoshan brought back a large bamboo basket from the warehouse.

When the little ones were full, they were all put directly into the basket, with a cloth bag filled with straw on top.

It can keep the piglets warm.

This way the sow will not crush the piglets when she turns over.

The heating here is turned up to moderate today.

Close the door quickly when entering or leaving, and try not to let too much cold air in.

After instructing everyone what to do, Bai Baoshan used his mental power to take another look at the other two pigs to make sure they would not give birth today. Only then did he feel relieved and returned to the office with the box.

It's already half past six and it's so... cold.

But I still have to ride my bike home.

When we got home, Qiao Yun was knitting her sweater around the stove.

She took apart a sweater she had knitted before. She said she learned the knitting technique from an aunt in Lou Xiao'e's family, and the sweater she knitted would definitely be beautiful.

Oh, when can I take apart this long-sleeved and short-sleeved sweater and knit it again? It's so embarrassing.
