The teacher in the class said that natural birth is good for both the fetus and adults, so Tong Qiao planned to give birth naturally. However, she heard from others that natural birth was very painful, and the scenes on TV were also quite scary. The mother was covered in sweat and screaming loudly. Thinking about the child, Qiao felt a little numb all over.
But the joy of becoming a mother diluted this fear.
Tong Qiao wanted to tell Lu Jinshen and Aunt Lin the news, but it was only after five o'clock and it was time to sleep well. She endured it and decided not to disturb them because she wouldn't give birth so early anyway.
Tong Qiao remembered what she learned in the maternal and child class. At this time, pregnant women should clean themselves first. They should not take a shower or wash their hair for several days after giving birth. After Tong Qiao cleaned herself up, the sky outside had just brightened.
Tong Qiao lay back on the bed, opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside the window. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep at all. In a while, Lu Jinshen would get up, and Aunt Lin would also get up to make breakfast. If she was about to give birth, Tell them the news, how will they react
You must be extremely happy, right
Tong Qiao's lips curled up unconsciously as she thought to herself. At this moment, the door to her room was pushed open. Tong Qiao saw Lu Jinshen walking in, "Why did you get up so early?"
Lu Jinshen was a little surprised to see Tong Qiao with her eyes open, but it was okay. Before he came in, he was worried about disturbing her sleep, so he wouldn't worry about it. "The army has an urgent mission. I have to go out for a few days to let you know. "
Tong Qiao grabbed Lu Jinshen's hand, "No, you can't leave."
"Can't bear to leave me?" Lu Jinshen's eyes widened with a smile. This was the first time that Tong Qiao relied on him so much. Every time he told her before when he went on a mission, she always said let's go, let's go, Qing Jing.
"Who can't bear to leave you?" Tong Qiao glanced at Lu Jin deeply, withdrew her hand and put it under the quilt.
Lu Jinshen helped Tong Qiao pull the quilt and tucked the corners of the quilt, "I will be back as soon as possible, don't worry."
Tong Qiao looked at Lu Jinshen and said nothing.
Lu Jinshen touched Tongqiao's round belly through the quilt, "Be good, don't trouble your mother, father will be back soon."
When Tong Qiao heard the words "mom and dad", thinking that the child would be born soon, she couldn't help but said: "Lu Jinshen, actually I..."
Lu Jinshen waited for a moment and saw that Tong Qiao didn't say anything further, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Tong Qiao's eyes fell on Lu Jinshen's straight shoulders in combat uniform. The golden stars on the epaulettes were shining brightly. It was his honor and her pride. He was not only the father of her child, but also a national soldier.
Tong Qiao looked away and said, "It's nothing. Pay attention to safety. My child and I will wait for you to come back."
It was the first time that Tong Qiao said such words to him. Lu Jin's deep eyes were full of smile, "Okay."
Tong Qiao touched her belly and looked at Lu Jinshen's leaving figure and murmured in a low voice, "Baby, daddy went to catch the bad guys. He can't witness your birth, but you can't blame him. We have to be proud of him."
In the maternal and infant class, the teacher said that giving birth to a baby would not be so fast, especially for the first baby, and the process of initiating the baby would usually take a long time. Tong Qiao did not want to cause too much trouble, so she did not tell Aunt Lin until her stomach began to hurt at four o'clock in the afternoon. , Tong Qiao told Aunt Lin that she was going to give birth.
Aunt Lin immediately called the family doctor.
Then he called Lu Meihua to announce the good news, and then loaded the mother and baby supplies that had been packed into the car to send Tong Qiao to the hospital.
Tong Qiao sat on the sofa and called Xia Daiyun before the severe pain in her stomach started. Lu Jinshen was not around. What she hoped most now was that Xia Daiyun could accompany her.
Xia Daiyun said on the phone that he would go directly to the hospital to meet Tong Qiao.
After everything was loaded into the car, Aunt Lin helped Tong Qiao walk to the door of the villa, when a man wearing camouflage uniforms walked in.
"Jiji, why are you here?" Aunt Lin asked.
Ji Ji first smiled and greeted Aunt Lin and Tong Qiao, "Aunt Lin, sister-in-law." Then she explained the purpose of her visit, "I can't find an approval document. I think it may have been taken home by the boss. It is rare for the boss to ask for leave, so I don't want to trouble him. I just came and got it myself.”
"Ask for leave?"
"Ask for leave?"
Tong Qiao and Aunt Lin asked in unison.
Yoshiki was startled by their posture, scratched the back of his head in confusion and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Tong Qiao forced herself to calm down, "You don't have any urgent tasks today?"
Yoshiki shook his head, "No."
"Qiao'er, don't be angry, maybe Jin Shen has other urgent matters." After Aunt Lin finished speaking, she looked at Ji Ji and winked at him.
No matter how stupid Yoshiki was, he could see that something was wrong and hurriedly tried to remedy the situation, "Sister-in-law, sometimes the boss doesn't notify us when he has urgent tasks, and instead acts alone..."
"Stop lying for him. Why would the higher-ups arrange tasks for him since he asked for leave?"
"..." Jiji cried with a sad face, speechless, boss, where have you been? But you can't blame me for trying to undermine you. You didn't communicate with me beforehand, so I didn't know.
A burst of abdominal pain hit her, and Tong Qiao's hands on her side curled up slightly. After a few seconds, the pain disappeared. Tong Qiao unclenched her fists and looked up to see her family doctor putting her cell phone back in her pocket. She just heard that the family doctor was secretly giving her a massage. Lu Jinshen called and asked, "Dr. Li, have you told him?"
Dr. Li smiled forcefully, "Mrs. Lu, I didn't call the chief just now..."
"Stop lying to me, or do you want me to call him again in front of you?"
Dr. Li hesitated for a few seconds and said, "The chief may really have something urgent..."
Tong Qiao interrupted Dr. Li, "Tell him that I'm going to give birth?"
Dr. Li nodded, "I said it."
"What did he say?" Tong Qiao asked.
Dr. Li, "He said that he had made arrangements at the hospital in advance and asked me to take you to the hospital."
Tong Qiao frowned, "He didn't say he wanted to come back?"
"...No, Mrs. Lu, I think the chief must have encountered something urgent..."
"Whether he comes or not has nothing to do with me." Tong Qiao walked towards the door with an expressionless face.
"Jiji, you can go to Jin Shen's study to find the approval document yourself. I don't have time to care about you." Aunt Lin hurriedly followed after explaining.
Jiji watched several people disappear at the door and hurriedly dialed Lu Jinshen's phone, "Boss, come back quickly. My sister-in-law is angry... Nothing is more important than my sister-in-law giving birth... Okay, then you try to come back as soon as possible..."
Yoshiji hung up the phone, scratched the back of his head, and muttered to himself: "What kind of important matter that affects people's lives is even hidden from me?"
The process of giving birth was painful and long, but Tong Qiao did not shed a single tear or cry out. When the pain was severe, she clenched her fists. After the labor pain passed, she let go. When the pain hit her, she clenched her fists again, and so on. Repeatedly, as time passed, her hands became sore and numb, and her palms were covered with deep and shallow nail pinch marks.
