Jiang Hua, who also looked unhappy, was standing in the corridor smoking. In fact, he was ready to quit smoking. With one less salary and one more person in the family, he had to quit smoking.
It was really hard to quit smoking after having smoked for decades. He hadn't smoked for a week, but when he saw the child, he couldn't help but buy a pack of cigarettes and started smoking.
"Dad, don't worry. My brother was just born prematurely. He will recover in a few days."
Jiang Hua shook his head. He always remembered how Meili looked when she was born. Although she was not very pretty, she was completely different after a week.
But no matter how ugly it was, the difference between it and the child in the greenhouse was like heaven and earth. He seemed to see a tragedy being staged.
"Is your mother awake?"
"Not yet,"
"Then go back. When she wakes up, she will definitely make a big noise."
"Then Dad, you..."
Meili really wanted to go back. She had been out for four hours. She didn't know what would happen if Chengcheng was left alone at home. A child under five years old would wake up long ago even if he was sleeping.
"Don't worry, the most you can do is watch her go crazy, and once she's exhausted all her strength, everything will be fine."
Yuan Qin finally woke up slowly, but she was in great pain all over. A nurse came over, unplugged the IV from her hand, and cleaned her table, putting away everything that needed to be put away.
"You're awake. Are you hungry? Would you like a bowl of chicken soup?"
The chicken soup was bought from the hospital cafeteria. The price was reasonable. At least Jiang Hua had enough money in his pocket now.
"Well, what about the baby? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"The child is choking in your stomach and is now being treated in the warm room. It's a boy."
"Boy, my son is okay."
Hearing that it was a boy, Yuan Qin smiled happily. She finally had a son. She wondered if her in-laws would still look down on her. It was just a son, and everyone could have one.
"Take me to see my son."
"You had a caesarean section and there was a cut on your stomach. You can't move. If you want to move, at least wait until the wound heals."
"Then bring your son over to me and let me see him."
"Do you want your son to die?"
"What do you mean?"
"They say your son sleeps in the warm room. If anything happens to him, you will be responsible. If you are willing to sign, I will go and take him out to show you."
"No, no, I just said that, why are you so angry?"
Jiang Hua was extremely nervous. He hoped that by tomorrow his son's condition would have improved significantly, so that there would not be any family war.
"You should drink some chicken soup first, then eat and sleep. Take care of your body first, so that you will have more energy to take care of the child in the future. You should know that you are raising a boy, and he is very naughty."
Yuan Qin thought it made sense, so she asked Jiang Hua to feed her a bowl of chicken soup. Then, with Jiang Hua's help, she urinated on the bed before falling asleep again.
Perhaps the effect of the anesthesia had not completely disappeared. When Yuanqin woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Jiang Hua took three days off and borrowed a recliner from the hospital last night. He slept on the edge of the bed. When he woke up early in the morning, he felt really sore in his back.
When he saw his wife woke up, he stood up quickly. Maybe he stood up too quickly and felt dizzy. He quickly grabbed the bed frame and waited until the dizziness passed before opening his eyes.
"Lao Jiang, how are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yuan Qin was also shocked to see Jiang Hua like this. He felt a little guilty when he thought that the other party was after all in his fifties and had spent the whole night on a recliner.
But when she thought about the fact that she had given birth to a son for the Jiang family, she was a great contributor and there was no need for her to feel guilty. Her eyes changed and she wanted to pee.
Meili came over with breakfast, and Yuanqin smiled when he saw her. This girl was really well raised. She always obeyed her parents' wishes. Unlike Cheng Qiao, she gave her son the Cheng family surname after giving birth to him.
"Mom, you must be hungry. Let's have breakfast. I cooked preserved egg and lean meat porridge. I learned this from Cheng Qiao."
Yuan Qin frowned and said, "Cheng Qiao, Cheng Qiao, so stupid." But when he thought that it was Cheng Qiao who cut open her belly and took the baby out, he swallowed his curse.
"Be careful, it's hot, Dad. You should have a bowl too."
"Meili, Chengcheng is okay."
Jiang Meili's eyes were a little evasive. As soon as she got home yesterday, Chengcheng lay on the ground crying. The child was thirsty and drank up the water she had prepared. He wanted to drink the water on the high table.
Thinking that he couldn't reach it, he got a stool, but instead of drinking the water, he fell off the stool. Fortunately, he didn't hit his head, but it was still serious and made the child cry and his voice became hoarse.
The military wives next door also heard the child crying, and they all gathered at the door, but unfortunately they couldn't go in, so they could only comfort Li Cheng from outside.
Fortunately, with the presence of these military wives, Li Cheng gradually calmed down when he heard someone comforting him outside. But it was impossible to ask him to open the door. His mother said that there were human traffickers outside and the door could not be opened casually.
"Dad, it's okay. I brought Chengcheng here today. I just met Brigade Commander Qin outside and asked him to help me hold the child."
"Why is Commander Qin here? Is there something wrong with the hospital?"
"I don't know. I have to go back and make lunch after you finish eating. Mom, take good care of yourself. When you are discharged from the hospital, I will come home to serve you."
"Hey, Meili, don't be too tired, you still have to go to work."
Only then did Yuan Qin realize that he had been thinking too simply. Li Bing went to the border, where the allowance was high, and he could support himself, but Meili would have a hard time.
"Lao Jiang, I feel much better today. Please ask the doctor if I can go see the child."
The doctor came in just in time to make his rounds. Seeing that Yuan Qin was in good spirits and his wounds had healed well, he nodded immediately. In his heart, he was still thinking of Cheng Qiao as being amazing, as it was the first time he had seen someone suture a wound so well.
Moreover, it seemed that some medicine unknown to him was used on the wound, otherwise it would not have recovered so quickly. This Cheng Qiao is indeed the role model they should learn from.
Jiang Hua felt very upset. He hadn't had time to see his child today, so he didn't know if his son would get better today. He hoped Yuan Qin wouldn't make a fuss after seeing him.
Finally arriving outside the greenhouse, the two looked inside through the glass window. When Jiang Hua saw the child, he closed his eyes. Although he looked better than yesterday, he still looked so... scary.
"Where's my son? There are no children in the greenhouse."
No one knew what was wrong with Yuan Qin's eyes. Her son was lying alone in the greenhouse, but she couldn't see him.
“That’s it.”
Jiang Hua pointed at his son who was sleeping soundly. Yuan Qin widened her eyes in disbelief. She had seen it just now and was wondering which unlucky guy gave birth to such a freak.
I didn't expect that this freak was actually my own son. It's impossible, absolutely impossible. It must be Cheng Qiao who secretly switched the children.
"This is not my child, Cheng Qiao, you and I cannot coexist..."
