The temperature in the north city is still a bit cool at night.
Seeing Wen Nuan's shocked expression, Gu Qinghan knew that she would not be able to fall asleep for a while, so he took her coat and put it on her.
"Be careful not to catch a cold. Put on some clothes and wait and see." Gu Qinghan sat down beside her and stretched out his arms to wrap her clothes tightly.
Wen Nuan was so surprised. This thick stack of big unity notes looked like a lot of money.
When she was in Beijing before, she really thought the conversation between her grandfather and Deputy Commander Shen was a joke. After all, they both loved to say angry words.
But even if there really was a so-called technical fee, she didn't expect that there would be so much money. It was really beyond her expectations.
Wen Nuan touched the thick stack of money in her hand and felt her palms getting warm.
Wen Nuan leaned against Gu Qinghan, then crossed her legs and said with a smile: "Let me count how much money there is."
Gu Qinghan said "hmm", then pulled the quilt over the kang, smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll light another flashlight for you."
Having said that, he stood up, walked to the table, took a flashlight, and turned it on.
Actually, Gu Qinghan didn't come back very late today, but Wen Nuan was probably too tired and fell asleep before 9:30.
Next to Wen Nuan was the little guy Lele, who was sleeping soundly. When he came into the room, he did not turn on the light, but lit a candle, for fear of waking the child.
Now with an extra flashlight, the room is much brighter and the warmth begins to rise.
Oh my god, it’s more than three hundred yuan!
There were a few cloth coupons in the envelope.
Wen Nuan thought she had counted wrong. After all, she just wrote a booklet and didn't really help.
It can be said that this money is almost like a windfall.
Deputy Commander Shen said in the letter that the soldiers stationed on the border have already put on down jackets. After trying them on for more than half a month, everyone felt that they were better at keeping out the cold and keeping warm than cotton-padded jackets, and not too bulky either. Everyone thought they were good.
Although it has not yet been widely popularized, being able to allow soldiers stationed on the border to use it first has already been a great help to the troops.
This money was her reward, and there were also some cloth coupons to compensate for a piece of clothing that Wen Nuan had made for her.
Deputy Commander Shen is so thoughtful!
Gu Qinghan saw that his wife had not spoken a word after counting the money, so he asked, "What's wrong? Do you think the money is a little too little?"
"How can it be less? More than 300 yuan, Deputy Commander Gu, it's my salary for several months!" Wen Nuan smiled at her husband, then leaned on his shoulder and said slowly, "It's already a lot, and I can't help much. I'm a little surprised that Deputy Commander Shen put so much money directly in the envelope."
What if the money is lost? ! !
Wen Nuan knew that the letter had been on the road for at least a week, and she didn't know how many comrades it had passed through.
Although it is impossible for the postman to embezzle, it would be very frustrating if the envelope was damaged and the money inside fell out.
Fortunately, the envelopes of that era were thick and were not damaged even after a long journey.
When Gu Qinghan heard his wife say this, he hugged her tightly and explained, "Deputy Commander Shen's mountain has been closed due to heavy snow. It is probably inconvenient for him to go out, so he sent you cash."
He added: "But it could also be a surprise for you."
Anyone who suddenly receives a large sum of money will definitely be happy.
Gu Qinghan looked at the smile on Wen Nuan's lips and knew that she was very happy, happy from the bottom of her heart.
Wen Nuan leaned into the man's arms and smiled, saying sweetly: "That's such a surprise!"
"Let me think about what to buy."
Suddenly with a few hundred dollars more, Wen Nuan suddenly felt the urge to go to town to buy things. She wanted to buy herself a sweater and a cotton-padded jacket, and also buy Lele a fluffy hat and a pair of small cotton boots.
The cloth shoes that Lele is wearing now were bought for her by Gu Qinglan a few months ago. Because she has grown so fast, they no longer seem to fit her.
Since she started working, Wen Nuan no longer wants to make clothes or shoes by herself.
Especially the shoes, which are really difficult. She doesn’t even know how to sew the soles of shoes.
Gu Qinghan pursed his lips and asked calmly, "Is there a share for me?"
Wen Nuan turned her head, glanced at the man, and burst out laughing. She really didn't expect this just now.
But there must be!
However, everything Gu Qinghan wore and used was provided by the flight team, of course, even the food was no exception.
I really don't know what to buy him.
So Wen Nuan sat face to face with him, looked at him and asked, "What do you want?"
Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows, met his wife's sparkling eyes, pinched one of her hands and said, "It seems like there's nothing you want."
Just when Wen Nuan was about to ask her to buy him a pen, a figure suddenly leaned over and a low, hoarse voice whispered something that made her blush.
The man just squinted his eyes and smiled, waiting for her answer.
Wen Nuan pinched the man's arm unhappily and scolded him, "Not serious!"
After pinching, Wen Nuan realized that the man was only wearing a thin shirt, but she herself was already wearing a base layer, a sweater vest, and her cotton-padded jacket on her shoulders, looking fully armed.
Although it is only the beginning of October, the temperature in the north city is already close to zero degrees at night, and the stove has not been lit yet at home. Now we can only rely on wearing more clothes and covering ourselves with more quilts to keep warm.
"Why are you wearing this? Did you just take a cold shower?" Wen Nuan turned around and tried to find the man's coat, but saw nothing. He probably had been wearing it like this since he took a shower.
Wen Nuan was angry that this man didn't take care of herself at all, and couldn't help scolding him: "Gu Qinghan, how many times have I told you? We are in North City now, do you still think you are in your hometown? You are taking cold showers in October!"
Although Gu Qinghan's physical condition was indeed good, he could not withstand his casual treatment.
"It's okay, I'm not cold at all." Gu Qinghan grabbed the warm hand, trying to let her feel his body temperature.
The warmth touched the man's hot palm, and he didn't feel cold at all, but she couldn't help scolding him: "Use hot water next time!"
Gu Qinghan moved towards her, watched her swallow, lick her lips, then moved his gaze from her palm to her bright red lips, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to check your body?"
As he asked, he placed his warm hands against his abdomen through the thin shirt.
She could instantly feel the warmth from the thin fabric, which instantly transferred the man's hot body temperature to her palm, causing her to lick her lips unconsciously, "Not bad."
Gu Qinghan grabbed her the moment she wanted to withdraw her hand, and directly pulled her into his arms. He put one hand around her waist and slid her hand under the fabric with the other hand. He smiled and asked, "You haven't checked me for a long time. Do you want to take a look?"
The solid abdominal muscles were clearly defined. Wen Nuan couldn't help but hold her breath. She looked into Gu Qinghan's dark eyes and nodded unconsciously.
The next second, Gu Qinghan picked her up, and the stack of money that was originally placed on the side fell directly to the ground, and some big unity bills were scattered.
Wen Nuan hummed subconsciously: "My money!"
"Don't worry, my little money-grubber." Gu Qinghan carried her out of the room and whispered in her ear, "No one will touch your money. Wait for me to pick it up for you."
…
Maybe he was too excited last night, so Gu Qinghan was still a little excited when he woke up the next day. After hugging Wen Nuan and kissing her, he got up to make breakfast for the children and his wife.
Wen Nuan also woke up, but just didn't want to move. When she got up and prepared to wash up, her legs felt a little weak when she walked.
So after a simple breakfast, Wen Nuan lay back on the kang, and the child woke up.
Wen Nuan saw Gu Qinghan coming in, so she threw a pillow at him and scolded him, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Gu Qinghan accurately took the pillow that Wen Nuan threw to him, then put it back on the kang with a refreshed look, and asked her: "So you're not going to the kitchen today?"
"Go, wait a moment." Wen Nuan had something to do today, and planned to take Le Le to the town to buy boots after she was done with today. Since tomorrow was the weekend, she would go there.
Then she raised her head and asked the man beside her with a little displeasure, "Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to go to town together?"
Gu Qinghan sat on the kang, put on Lele's coat while she was still yawning, and said softly, "It should be ok in the morning. I have a meeting in the afternoon."
Wen Nuan raised her chin, indicating that he should brush the child's teeth, and replied: "Let's have lunch together at noon. I have something for you to try."
"Okay." Although he didn't know what his wife wanted him to try, Gu Qinghan always trusted her. He didn't ask any more questions. He just hugged Lele, who was still rubbing his eyes, and walked out of the room.
After a while, the little guy's pig-slaughtering cry was heard outside.
Wen Nuan turned over and pretended not to hear. Fortunately, the little one stopped crying soon and ran in happily, saying with a smile, "Mom, let's go to work!"
"Okay." Wen Nuan yawned lazily and for the first time hoped that winter would come soon.
Then she can stay at home during the winter.
Lele looked at the warmth of her breasts, stretched out his little hand and pinched her, then said with a grin, "Lazy piggy mommy!"
Wen Nuan raised her eyebrows, who is the lazy pig
Then she picked up the child and tickled her. Unlike the crying just now, this time the little one's sharp laughter filled the small room.
Gu Qinghan stood at the door of the room, looked at his wife and children, and laughed.
*
At noon, Wen Nuan brought out a dish of fish-flavored eggplant and stir-fried black fungus with beans, carrots and black fungus, intending to ask Gu Qinghan to help try it.
Several leaders and Commander Xu had tried the meat before and thought it was fine, but they still had to observe for another two days to see if they would experience gastrointestinal discomfort after eating it.
Therefore, the kitchen staff will not start making those quick dishes for the next few days. Wen Nuan plans to take a day off tomorrow, go to the town, and then start working again.
Wen Nuan carried two dishes and walked to Gu Qinghan's side, then pushed the food in front of him: "Come, help me try these two dishes."
Meat alone is not enough, and the supply of meat is also tight. Fish can be supplied, but vegetarian dishes are still the highlight.
Therefore, the preservation of vegetarian dishes must be strictly guarded.
Gu Qinghan had already ordered his in-flight meal, and was not able to react for a moment. When he saw Wen Nuan sitting down, he remembered that she had asked him to help try it in the morning.
It turned out to be a food tasting.
Gu Qinghan took his chopsticks, picked up the plate of stir-fried vegetables, and tasted them carefully.
Beans, carrots and black fungus all have a crisp texture. In fact, they don’t have any special taste. They are just light in taste. Many people cannot get used to them and just mix them with chili sauce.
Gu Qinghan didn't know what Wen Nuan wanted him to try, so he thought about it and said, "It doesn't seem to be anything special, just an ordinary vegetarian taste."
Wen Nuan looked at him and asked, "Will the taste change?"
Gu Qinghan put down his chopsticks and shook his head: "It's okay, I can't really tell the difference, it's just a normal vegetarian taste."
Unexpectedly, Wen Nuan laughed and said, "That proves that these dried vegetables are very successful." Then Wen Nuan pushed the fish-flavored eggplant to him and said, "Try this one."
Gu Qinghan tasted it carefully again and felt that it was no different from the fish-flavored eggplant he had eaten at home before.
Wen Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gu Qinghan with a smile, "That's fine. This is a quick dish that our factory will be producing soon."
Seeing that Gu Qinghan was listening attentively, Wen Nuan continued to explain to him: "We prepared these dishes first and then put them in the freezer for a while. Now we want everyone to try them first to see if there is any difference."
The quartermaster told her as soon as he came back this morning that Commander Xu had already contacted the Dongjiang Border Defense Station, and it depends on whether they need it. If they do, they will be arranged to be in the first batch.
The situation at the research institute is not that urgent, but it has already snowed in many border areas. If they don't send it over, the roads will be difficult to travel when the heavy snow comes.
Now Commander Xu also agrees very much with this plan and supports them in setting up the factory, which will not only help everyone but also increase some income for the troops.
Now most of the workers have been recruited, and it won’t have much impact if a few people are missing. Once the plan is finalized, the factory will start to get busy.
After listening to Wen Nuan's quick dishes, Gu Qinghan also thought they were feasible, so he said, "Then you can start preparing them. The border areas really need them."
Gu Qinghan often flew to the border, and he had seen many scenes of heavy snow. It was conceivable how cold the environment there would be. Although it only solved a small problem in life, it was a great help to the troops.
Wen Nuan nodded: "Yes, I'll take Lele to town tomorrow and prepare some winter clothes for her, and then we'll start working."
After finishing this batch of things, it was winter in the north city, and Wen Nuan planned to take a good rest.
.
The next day, Wen Nuan took the children to town, and Gu Qinghan also went with them.
Gu Qinghan happened to be in town on business today, so he borrowed the army's Phuket car.
Maybe Lele hadn't been out with Gu Qinghan for too long, so she was very excited while sitting in the car, and kept quacking, making Wen Nuan's ears almost deaf.
The temperature during the day was not very low and one would sweat if moving. Gu Qinghan was driving with only one piece of clothing on.
Wen Nuan felt the wind coming in from the window, and saw Lele facing the window with his hair blown up. The little guy's hair was much longer now, and it fluttered in the wind.
Seeing the children having fun, Wen Nuan asked Gu Qinghan in front of her, "Are you really not cold?"
Sometimes Wen Nuan really wondered if this man was made of fire. Even in the middle of winter and with heavy snow, she never said she was cold.
It was even more so now. Wen Nuan, sitting in the back seat and holding Lele, felt a little cold from the wind, but Gu Qinghan was only wearing a piece of clothes and he didn't even shrink his neck.
Gu Qinghan, who was in the driver's seat, heard Wen Nuan's question and rolled up the car window, saying, "Is it cold in the back? I closed the window."
As soon as the window was closed, Lele, who was enjoying the wind, said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, open the window."
"I want some fresh air."
Gu Qinghan glanced at the little guy in the rearview mirror, then smiled and said, "Mom is cold, we'll be there soon, please sit down."
Not long after they finished talking, they arrived in town.
Lele knew that Wen Nuan was going to bring her to buy boots today, so she quickly pulled her into the supply and marketing cooperative and said with a smile, "Mom, it's over there!"
Gu Qinghan followed behind the two of them and couldn't help but say, "It seems like your aunt has taken you out to play quite a lot."
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Qinglan now has three days off a month, plus the holidays, so she has four days off a month. She basically makes the most of every holiday, and she brings Lele with her, so she must come a lot."
The little guy pulled Wen Nuan to the counter selling children's shoes as if he knew the place well.
Lele had probably been here many times, so he pointed directly at the pair of red boots in the display cabinet and said, "Mom, I want that pair."
The pair of shoes were made of leather, and few children in the family compound had them, let alone children, even adults didn't have many.
At this time, most people still wear cloth shoes. In the cold weather in the north city, people wear cotton shoes even in winter.
These leather shoes are good looking but not practical. They look impressive when worn outside, but they cannot withstand the cold.
But it's just right to wear in this kind of weather.
Moreover, as soon as Lele arrived, he knew he was looking for this pair of shoes. He must have wanted them before.
But buying shoes requires industrial coupons. Maybe her aunt brought her here, and Gu Qinglan didn’t buy her any because she didn’t have enough coupons.
Wen Nuan thought about it and asked the salesperson to help her take it down. "Comrade, please take the red boots. I want to let my child try them on."
The salesperson looked at them and recognized Lele, remembering that she had come to buy shoes before.
It is really that the little fat boy Lele is too easy to recognize. He has a chubby face, is fair and tender, and looks as delicate as a piece of jade. It is obvious at first glance that he is not a child raised in an ordinary family.
So even though the salesperson was not so happy about it, he still took out the shoes and reminded them: "Don't get them dirty. I'll get you some newspaper to pad them."
Wen Nuan had met many sales clerks with bad attitudes, but this time she had a good attitude. In the past, they probably wouldn't even let her try the product.
So Wen Nuan followed her advice and let Le Le try on the clothes by standing on newspaper.
After Wen Nuan put the shoes on her, she pinched the toe and found that there was a space slightly larger than the thumb. It would definitely not be small, but she didn't know if it would be bigger.
After Wen Nuan put two pairs of shoes on her, she asked her to stand up and walk a few steps, and asked her: "Are the shoes too tight? Or too loose?"
The little guy took two steps, liked it very much, and said with a smile: "It looks good!"
Wen Nuan saw that she liked it, and asked her patiently, "Is it suitable?"
"It fits!" The little guy turned around in his new shoes and said excitedly, "Mom, I want this pair of shoes."
As she said that, she rushed over to Gu Qinghan, hugged her father's thigh, raised her little head, and said in a baby voice: "Dad, I want this pair of shoes."
Gu Qinghan looked at the pair of shoes that the little guy had already put on, then looked at Wen Nuan and asked her, "Did you choose them for the child?"
Wen Nuan replied helplessly: "She chose it herself. When she came here, she said she wanted this pair."
Then Wen Nuan added, "Le Le likes it very much and it looks good on her."
And most importantly, it was the child’s own choice.
Since the child could speak, Wen Nuan also gave the child the opportunity to choose. She felt that this could also cultivate the child's independence.
Gu Qinghan lowered his head again to look at the shoes on Lele's feet, and then said, "It's not very suitable in the winter when it snows."
Wen Nuan was just about to tell him that Lele liked it very much, then she saw Gu Qinghan pick Lele up and said to her with a smile: "Then this pair of small boots is bought for you by your mother. Daddy will buy you another pair of cotton boots, which you can wear when we make snowmen."
Lele was even happier when he heard this. He hugged Gu Qinghan's neck, rubbed his furry little head, which was a little messy in the wind in the car, against his neck and said, "Daddy is so nice!"
Gu Qinghan rubbed her head and said, "Go and see which couple you like."
Gu Qinghan's shoes were specially provided by the flight team, so there were some industrial coupons left, so it was no problem to buy a pair of shoes for the child.
Originally, Gu Qinghan also wanted to buy it for his wife, but Wen Nuan said that she planned to let Chen Meijiao buy it in Beijing and send it to her.
Thinking that lesbians have better taste, Gu Qinghan didn't force it.
Lele picked out a pair of red floral boots from a pile of cotton boots. The salesperson took out the shoes with a smile, not caring that Lele had already put on her little leather shoes and ran around.
"Here, kid, this is for you. Try it on first and see if it fits you."
This time, Lele sat on the small stool by himself, took off his leather shoes, and then put on his cotton boots with all his strength and unskilledness.
Lele looked at the shoes on his feet and said with a smile: "This one looks good too, Dad, take a look!"
"Look at my new shoes!"
Gu Qinghan did not hesitate to praise him and said with a smile, "It looks good."
Then he looked at his wife and asked, "How about buying these two pairs for Lele?"
"I'll go over and see if it fits." Wen Nuan went over and pinched the toe of her shoe. There was some room left, so she thought it would still fit even in the winter when it snowed.
Lele knew that her father and mother had bought her new shoes, and she was so happy that she wanted to carry the shoes herself.
However, the little girl, who was easily bored with old things and easily pleased with new things, took off the old cloth shoes that Gu Qinglan had bought for her and asked Wen Nuan to hold them. Then she put on her own red leather shoes and swaggered out of the supply and marketing cooperative without asking to buy anything else.
Under normal circumstances, Lele would not stop until he had taken a walk around the snack area.
In addition, there was another person who was also very happy, that was the salesperson selling shoes. He didn't expect that Wen Nuan and her friends would buy two pairs of shoes at once, so he was so happy that he gave Lele two pairs of cotton socks.
Wen Nuan took the cotton socks handed to her by the salesperson and smiled: "Thank you, comrade. It just so happens that my child is short of two pairs of socks."
The salesperson smiled so hard that his eyes almost disappeared. "You're welcome. Welcome to come again next time."
*
When they walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Wen Nuan looked at the man next to her and couldn't help asking him, "Do you really not want anything?"
Lele's two pairs of shoes were not expensive, three yuan a pair and ten yuan a pair, but Deputy Commander Shen sent them several hundred yuan.
Gu Qinghan glanced at his wife and smiled: "I'm not a child anymore, what else do I need?"
"Let's go, Lele is out." Gu Qinghan pulled his wife's wrist, then pulled her out of the supply and marketing cooperative before letting her go.
Just after walking out for a while, I saw Lele, who had a happy face just now, standing in front of a comrade selling popsicles. He stared at the popsicles with his big black eyes without blinking, without saying a word.
Until Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan came over, he looked at Wen Nuan and said, "Mom, I want to eat popsicles."
Lele was like this every time she went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the compound. She would look at other people's boxes without saying a word, and then ask Wen Nuan to buy something for her.
If Wen Nuan didn't buy it for her, she would stand in front of the person and refuse to move until Wen Nuan bought it for her.
Most of the time, Wen Nuan is willing to buy it for her.
Before Wen Nuan could say anything, Gu Qinghan said to the popsicle seller, "Comrade, please give me three."
Then everyone took one and ate it slowly while walking on the main road in the town.
Lele was so happy that he was holding new shoes in one hand and a popsicle in the other. He was wearing a pair of new leather shoes on his feet and walking on the road with his chin held high.
Wen Nuan couldn't help but remind her: "Watch the road carefully!"
Lele licked the popsicle happily and said, "Got it, nagging mom."
warmth:"… "
Gu Qinghan was laughing on the side.
Wen Nuan took a bite of the ice, then turned her head to look at Gu Qinghan and asked him, "Why are you willing to buy everything for her? Just now she bought her shoes, and now she's eating popsicles!"
Gu Qinghan is sometimes very strict with Lele, but sometimes he seems to have no principles.
When the man heard her ask this, he just smiled and said, "We only come to town three or four times a year, and the comrade selling popsicles is not here every day. Even in the family compound, Lele only goes there three or four times a week, so it wouldn't be too much to let her eat twice a week."
"And Lele doesn't want everything. I see many children like to eat this. When it snows in winter, we will make some more for her."
After hearing what the man said, Wen Nuan really wanted to tell him that you go to the supply and marketing cooperative three or four times a week, but your daughter doesn’t!
Little Lele would go with them once in the morning, and in the evening when Gu Qinglan came to the family compound, she would drag her aunt with her to go again.
Given how much Gu Qinglan loved Lele, even if she was asked to buy meat every day, she would probably ride her bike to the black market to buy it for her, let alone popsicles.
However, it is still commendable that Gu Qinghan thinks this way.
I remember one of her best friends told me that when she was a child she wanted a big rainbow lollypop.
But her parents divorced early, and she lived with her mother. Later, her mother remarried and had children, and she felt like an outsider in that family.
One year, my best friend had a birthday and told her mother that she wanted a piece of lollipop, but her mother didn't even remember her birthday.
Later, her younger brother and sister clamored for her to buy one, and her mother reluctantly bought her one.
But before she could open it, her mother took the big piece of lollipop and smashed it into several pieces, and distributed them to her younger brothers and sisters.
Later, after she started working, she saw the big lollipop in a store one year and bought the candy she had wanted so much in her childhood.
But my best friend said that the candy that she wanted so much when she was a child, didn’t taste good when she ate it as an adult.
That sugar is too sweet.
So Wen Nuan will sometimes satisfy Le Le's needs within a reasonable range.
As long as she is not unreasonable and asks for everything, and the price is not too expensive, she will buy it for her child.
She doesn't want her child to grow up and still feel regretful about the popsicles she had that summer when she was a child.
Fortunately, Gu Qinghan thought so too.
*
After buying the things, Gu Qinghan took them back to the family compound.
Wen Nuan was planning to take out the pen she bought and give it to Gu Qinghan, but just after getting off the car, she heard the cry of pain coming from Sister Guihua's yard.
Wen Nuan reacted quickly and said to Gu Qinghan anxiously: "Qinghan, maybe Sister Guihua is about to give birth."
Sister Guihua's due date came last week, but there was no movement yet. This week she went out for a walk every morning, noon and evening, hoping to get pregnant as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, there's a car here." Seeing his wife in a panic, Gu Qinghan pulled her and said, "Take Lele with you, and let's go and have a look together."
Lele was still holding the new shoes happily, planning to go back and try them on again, but suddenly Wen Nuan grabbed her arm and said, "Lele, let's go see Aunt Guihua first. Follow your mother and don't run around."
"Aunt Guihua might be giving birth to a baby. Be good. We are going to take her to the hospital. Got it?"
Over the past few months, Lele has watched Aunt Guihua's belly grow bigger day by day, and often asks her when the baby will come out to play with her.
When she heard Wen Nuan say that Sister Gui Hua was finally about to give birth, she nodded obediently: "I know, Mom. I won't run around."
At this moment, Sister Guihua called out again. Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan quickened their pace. After entering the room, they saw Sister Guihua sitting on a wooden bench in the living room with an obvious puddle of water on the ground.
When Zhang Guihua saw Wen Nuan, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving piece of driftwood. She stretched out a hand to her and said, "Xiao Nuan, I... I think I'm about to give birth."
"My mother went shopping..."
Wen Nuan walked to Sister Guihua and comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll go to the hospital now. Don't move now, your amniotic fluid has broken."
Sister Guihua tightly grasped Wen Nuan's hand and nodded weakly: "Okay... I, I'll listen to you."
Wen Nuan didn't care about that anymore. She looked at Gu Qinghan and said, "Qinghan, carry Sister Guihua to the car. We'll go to the hospital now."
"Hurry, the amniotic fluid has broken, lay her flat in the back seat later."
When Gu Qinghan heard Wen Nuan say this, he walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, hold me."
Gu Qinghan picked up Sister Guihua right away, and Wen Nuan helped to hold her. Although Gu Qinghan was very strong, he still had to be careful because she might struggle during the contractions.
Fortunately, the back seat was very clean, so Gu Qinghan laid Sister Guihua flat in the back.
Gu Qinghan looked at Wen Nuan and said, "Wife, I'm going to send Sister Guihua to the hospital first. You stay here and bring Aunt Liang with you to see what to pack."
Wen Nuan looked at Sister Guihua in the back seat with concern. She must have had contractions, as her body curled up and she started to cry out in pain.
Wen Nuan's lips turned pale. She got into the car and sat next to Sister Guihua. She said to Gu Qinghan, "I'm afraid she will fall. Aunt Liang is not in a hurry. I'll go with you."
Lele raised his arms and said, "Dad, I will be good. I want to go too!"
Just as Gu Qinghan took the child into the car, Huang Yueying, who lived next door to Guihua's wife, came over with her son Daniu and asked, "Is Guihua about to give birth?"
Wen Nuan saw her and said quickly, "Yes, we have to send her to the hospital now."
Huang Yueying said, "I just saw Aunt Liang. I'll take Aunt Liang with me later."
Wen Nuan didn't care about that anymore and urged Gu Qinghan to drive quickly. Fortunately, Sister Guihua's pain came in waves and was better when it stopped. "It doesn't hurt anymore now. I haven't notified Lao Zhou yet."
Wen Nuan hugged her back and said, "I'll ask Qing Lan to notify him when we get to the hospital."
In a few minutes, the car arrived at the hospital. Everyone in the hospital knew Wen Nuan, and when she got out of the car, someone came out to greet her. Knowing that Zhang Guihua was about to give birth, they pushed a cart out to pick her up.
In just a few short minutes, Sister Guihua seemed to be in more and more pain. Wen Nuan didn't dare to leave her, so she asked Gu Qinghan to take Lele to make a phone call and ask Captain Zhou to come over.
Seeing that both of them were so nervous, Gu Qinglan said, "Sister Guihua, don't worry. Our Doctor Xu has already rushed to the delivery room. Now relax and take a deep breath."
Wen Nuan looked at Sister Guihua who was already sweating, and said, "Sister Guihua, Captain Zhou has already arrived, don't worry."
Sister Guihua tightly grasped Wen Nuan's hand and cried out in pain: "I'm not worried. It's useless even if that bastard Lao Zhou comes. He's not a painkiller. I still feel pain. Ouch..."
"That's not the case. With Captain Zhou here, you'll feel more at ease."
When Wen Nuan heard that Sister Guihua was still in the mood to joke, she knew that she should be in a good mental state.
But with Captain Zhou around, I can take it as psychological comfort, and he must be by my side.
Sister Osmanthus groaned twice, then frowned and cried out in pain.
Soon, Doctor Xu came over, examined Sister Guihua, and then pushed her directly into the delivery room.
Wen Nuan originally thought about whether she could follow him in, but she was not allowed in. Gu Qinglan then walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, I will look after Sister Guihua and will come out as soon as anything happens."
Wen Nuan patted Qing Lan's shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Wen Nuan thought that it would take a while for Captain Zhou to come over, but he actually came shortly after they arrived.
