In the golden autumn of October, Xiao Chan entered her final due date. Compared to her calmness, Gu Wenqian seemed too anxious.
The first is to send two packs of peonies to say hello to the team leader and the younger generation in charge of the tractor. Once Xiaochan has a situation, she will be sent to the county hospital by tractor immediately. The other is to prepare all kinds of items for the hospital in advance. Prepare for a rainy day.
Xiaochan was lying in the yard basking in the sun and eating pears, while Zhang Daying chatted with her while working, "Now the whole team is talking, I have never seen such a good man Wen Qian who is nervous about his wife, our women have children , it will be sent to the health center in the town, and you will be the only one to be sent to the county town."
Xiaochan smiled and looked at the blue sky in the distance. His beauty was like an island, and what others saw was far less than the one sunk in the bottom of the sea.
He would get up in the middle of the night to help her rub her legs when her legs were cramping, and he would take the trouble to find food for her when she was hungry and thirsty. Every time he came back from the county, he would specially cut two catties of pork Weighing some salty biscuits, she couldn't bend down because of her big belly, and he helped her wear the shoes when she got up every day.
He also wrote to ask his mother a lot of precautions during pregnancy, and he implemented each item more thoroughly than Qiu Xiaochan.
Such a husband is naturally enviable. Qiu Xiaochan herself feels very happy. It is because of his meticulous care and care that Qiu Xiaochan feels that there is nothing terrible about having a child. What is it to exchange for a child who is related to their blood
When Gu Wenqian came back from work, Xiaochan was feeding the chickens in the yard, grabbing a handful of millet and spreading them while walking, in the name of exercising.
He smiled and walked over to hug her, the fatigue of the day was swept away by seeing her soft smiling face.
"How is today, how are you feeling?"
"It's good, but the stomach has sunk a little, maybe the child has already entered the basin."
Hearing this, Gu Wenqian took a step back and took a closer look. It seemed that the direction of his stomach had indeed gone down compared to the day before.
He touched the tip of her belly with distress. Guoguo, who was very active in the past few months, has recently decreased in activity. He asked an experienced old man, and he knew that this was one of the signs of labor.
At the end of October, the crops in the field were all brought back, and the busy days were finally relieved. At this time, Xiao Chan, who had not woken up at dawn, felt a burst of abdominal pain. He woke up after a while, and Gu Wenqian beside him also opened his eyes, and asked hoarsely, "What's the matter? Did you have leg cramps?"
"No, I just felt a cramping in my stomach, and it got better after the pumping."
Gu Wenqian sat up from the bed in an instant, and asked nervously, "Isn't it about to give birth? Are there any other symptoms after the throbbing pain?"
Qiu Xiaochan couldn't say anything for a while, after all, the feeling during pregnancy was the same every day, feeling uncomfortable everywhere, and no day was relaxing.
"I'll call mom to get you something to eat first. Let's get ready and go to the hospital today. I'll go find Brother Jiang Sheng after you have eaten."
Jiang Sheng was the one in charge of driving the tractor on the team, and Gu Wenqian had already said hello, as long as he called out, he was sure to come.
Zhang Daying heard his son-in-law say that his daughter had a stomachache, so he got up in fright. Every woman has a life-threatening experience when giving birth, and she is blessed if she survives it.
As soon as Jiang Sheng woke up, before the food was ready, Gu Wenqian came to the door. He didn't care about eating, so he started the tractor and left. Her daughter-in-law shouted behind him, "Aren't you eating at home?"
Jiang Shengyuan replied, "Don't worry, I won't be hungry."
Sure enough, when he arrived at Qiu's house, Zhang Daying prepared sweet potato porridge, eggs and leek pancakes.
"Shengzi, you haven't eaten yet. Hurry up and let's go. Everything has been packed, just pick it up and leave."
Jiang Sheng was not too polite, he picked up the bowl and began to eat in big mouthfuls. Over there, Gu Wenqian took a watch to record the time for Xiao Chan to see how long it took between her stomach pains.
"Mom, I'll forget it, Xiao Chan's pain is about every twenty-six or seven minutes."
Zhang Daying frowned and guessed, "I'm afraid it was activated last night, but I fell asleep and didn't pay attention. I remember it was the same at that time. It was nothing at first, and the work in the field continued. Later, the reaction became more and more serious." Big, the pain is the worst when you are about to give birth."
Jiang Sheng spent five minutes drinking a large bowl of porridge, eating two pancakes and a boiled egg. Zhang Daying peeled the egg and stuffed it into his hand for him to eat.
"I cooked twenty-five eggs in the morning, and brought all the rest with me. When Xiaochan is hungry, I will boil them for her."
In this way, when the villagers were still busy with breakfast, the tractor pulled people to the county town in a "chug chug" and arrived at the hospital 70 minutes later.
After registering, seeing a doctor, and going through formalities, Xiao Chan was admitted to the ward to wait for delivery, while Jiang Sheng left first. Before leaving, he agreed with Gu Wenqian that he would call the commune in advance someday by car.
"If you have any discomfort, you must say it. The doctor said, it's just two days' work."
Zhang Daying covered her daughter with a quilt, and touched her hair distressedly, while Gu Wenqian took a thermos bottle to fetch hot water.
Hot water bottles, tea mugs, bowls and chopsticks, washbasins, towels, soap, etc. are all brought from home, as well as clothes for adults and children. If you don’t know, it’s time to move.
But there is no way around it. It is definitely convenient to buy these daily necessities now, but you need to have a receipt for buying things. Why spend extra money if you have one at home
"Well, Mom, go and rest too, don't worry about me too much."
During the hospitalization process, Gu Wenqian added an extra bed to let Zhang Daying rest. As for himself, he planned to stay with Xiaochan all the time.
"Hey, my heart is pounding right now. I can't even lie down even if you tell me to lie down."
Gu Wenqian made a cup of malted milk for Xiaochan after fetching water, then turned to Zhang Daying and said, "Mom, I've already asked, you can only charge money for ordering meals in the hospital cafeteria, today I eat fragrant dried shredded pork, Oil-pressed cabbage, stir-fried shredded potatoes, I will bring back a portion of each at noon?"
"Okay, why don't I go, the eggs in the morning are still in the bag, I'll ask the master to heat them up, and they should go bad if I put them in again."
In the afternoon, the interval between Xiaochan’s labor pains became shorter and shorter. The doctor came to the ward for an examination and said, “When the stomach doesn’t hurt, you can go for a walk in the corridor. , I think your fetal position is very good, don't have too much psychological burden."
Gu Wenqian turned around after sending the doctor out of the ward, walked to the bedside and asked, "Do you want to walk? I'll help you."
Xiao Chan nodded, got off the bed with his support, walked slowly with penguin-like steps, stopped and leaned against him when she encountered labor pain, and took a breath after the pain passed. Continue to go.
After going back and forth like this five times, Gu Wenqian felt distressed and asked, "Are you tired? Why don't you go in and have a rest?"
Xiao Chan smiled weakly, "Okay, let's go back to the house, fortunately I have you with me, otherwise it would be too boring."
He is such a patient person, he will definitely be a good father.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night. At first, Xiao Chan was able to close her eyes and sleep for a while, but in the middle of the night, the pain began to intensify, and the intervals also shortened. She lay on her side and curled up in a ball. Gu Wenqian called the doctor on duty, and then she was in a hurry After entering the delivery room, I didn't come out until the next afternoon. After thirteen hours, a little princess was born.
After giving birth, Xiaochan glanced at the baby and fell asleep. She only remembered that it was small and red, like a monkey.
In the bewilderment, she thought again, if the child looks like a monkey, then what is she, is it a female monkey
When she woke up and returned to the ward, Gu Wenqian sat by the bed and took care of her, while Zhang Daying changed the baby's diaper on the other bed, humming some song softly.
Seeing her open her eyes, Gu Wenqian immediately held her hand in surprise and put it in his palm.
"It's hard work, the child is healthy, how about you, how do you feel?"
Xiaochan felt it seriously, but she didn't feel anything special. She touched her flat stomach again, and she was really not used to it.
"Very good, I was a little tired at the beginning, and it was much better after a night's sleep."
Gu Wenqian put her palm to his lips and kissed her. Originally, he wanted to kiss her lips, but his mother-in-law was here, and he didn't like to show intimacy in front of other people except the two of them.
After Zhang Daying changed the diaper, she brought Guoguo to Xiaochan for a look. Her smiling face was full of love from her grandma. She said happily, "This child is carved out of the same mold as you when you were young. The eyelids are sharp, the chin is rosy, and anyone who sees it will like it very much."
Although Guoguo was born by herself, Xiaochan couldn't help but praise how white Guoguo was, and how did her mother tell whether Guoguo had double eyelids or single eyelids through Guoguo's closed eyes
"She's been sleeping too? Should I feed her?"
Only then did Zhang Daying realize that his daughter hadn't eaten yet, so he hurriedly said to his son-in-law, "Wen Qian, go to the cafeteria and bring Xiaochan's fish soup, as well as the cooked rice porridge, how can a girl feed Guoguo if she doesn't eat. "
The fish soup and rice porridge were made by Zhang Daying when Xiaochan was still in the delivery room, and Zhang Daying said a lot of good things and stuffed money before letting the canteen master let go.
Gu Wenqian went to get food, Xiaochan sat up and leaned against the bedside to hold the fruit. Although it was a little red monkey, it was still cute no matter how you looked at it. Women secrete a kind of "oxytocin" in their bodies from the beginning of pregnancy, and they naturally have maternal love.
Zhang Daying was very touched when he saw his daughter hugging his granddaughter, and once again thought of her husband who passed away early, "Finally, everything went well. If your father is still here, I don't know how happy I am to see you give birth."
Others' families are patriarchal, while theirs are patriarchal.
"Has Gu Wen told the family?"
My uncle's house has a phone, so they just need to make a call. They must have been waiting for news.
"I didn't take care of it. I was worried that you were very worried. The doctor took Guoguo out and took a look at him, and then he kept guarding you. Hey, I don't know what to say. Is it good for you? Talk."
Xiaochan stretched out her hand to hold Guoguo's little finger, and said with a smile on her lips, "He just hasn't adapted to being his father, and he will definitely love Guoguo more than us in the future."
His heart is so gentle, Xiao Chan is not worried that her husband does not love the child, but worried that her husband spoils the child.
"I don't know if your mother-in-law will be disappointed with your daughter who was born in this womb. Their family only has one son, Wen Qian."
Xiaochan replied seriously to this question, "Mom, my mother-in-law is not that kind of person. I know that many people will say that in the future, but our family knows our own affairs, so we just take good care of the fruit and don't care about others. As for whether it will Rebirth, don't think about it for a short time, wait until Guoguo is bigger."
Anyway, she will have at most two children in this life, and she still wants to take the 1977 college entrance examination. Six years is enough time for her to seriously think about these issues. , please keep in mind:,.
