"Mom... I have a stomachache." Lin Qingqing frowned. She had just finished her meal and was about to go for a walk when she felt a cramp in her stomach. The cramp was indescribable, coming in waves. She remembered hearing someone say on the Internet that if you have experienced the pain of childbirth, then the pain of menstruation is not that big of a deal. Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing suddenly felt a little scared.
Mother Lin said quickly, "She might be about to give birth. Even if she hasn't, let's go to the hospital first." Her daughter is due to give birth in the next few days, so it's good to go to the hospital early. Ever since she had a difficult birth, Mother Lin only wanted to go to the hospital for matters like giving birth. She gave birth to her second child in the hospital. There's nothing she can do. She's timid and afraid of death.
When Lu Cheng heard this, he immediately said, "I'll go drive the car. You guys go wait for me at the entrance of the army."
Lin's mother reminded: "Take this packed bag with you." Knowing that she would give birth in the next few days, she and her daughter prepared the things they would need to go to the hospital in advance.
When Lu Cheng heard this, he quickly picked up the bag and said, "Mom, is there anything else?"
Mother Lin: "No more, just this one."
So, Lu Cheng picked up the bag and drove. Lin's mother helped Lin gently outside, closed the door, put on her bag, and then helped her daughter to the entrance of the army.
By the time they arrived at the entrance of the military unit, the two of them had grown into five people, and a few idle wives of soldiers also accompanied them to the entrance of the military unit.
Lu Cheng drove the car with three people in it and they quickly arrived at the hospital. Lin Qingqing's face was not very good. Because the pain in her stomach was too uncomfortable, she wanted to either just get better or stop torturing her.
After Lu Cheng had completed the formalities, Lin Qingqing had already started bleeding, so she went straight to the delivery room to wait for delivery. Because her cervix was not fully dilated, it was not time for her to give birth yet, so Lu Cheng could stay with her in the delivery room. However, the nurses and doctors were ready and waiting for her to give birth at any time.
While waiting in the delivery room, Lin Qingqing was a little nervous. Imagined medical accidents and difficult labor, etc., rose from her mind involuntarily. In the past, Lin Qingqing had thought that if she was pregnant, she would definitely protect herself during difficult labor, but at this moment, she touched her belly and understood what it meant to be a strong mother.
“Lu Cheng…” Lin Qingqing’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red, and she called out to the man sitting beside the bed.
"I'm here." Lu Cheng held her hand, "Don't worry."
Lin Qingqing said: "Lu Cheng, if anything happens, you must protect the child. Also, if something happens to me, you... you must take good care of the child, you... if you want to remarry, you must give the child to the Lin family to take care of." She was now full of wild thoughts, thinking that if something happened to her, she couldn't ask Lu Cheng to stay with her for the rest of her life, so if Lu Cheng remarried... she would also be worried.
Lu Cheng knew that she was emotionally unstable, so she was talking nonsense, such as saving the eldest and remarrying. It was all nonsense. "Qingqing, listen to me. If anything goes wrong, I will definitely save the eldest. So you have to be strong, okay?" At this time, what she needed was motivation.
Hearing what they said, the nurse who was waiting with them said, "Comrade Lin, don't worry. You are in good health and there will be no problem." Because Lin Qingqing came to check the fetus every month, the nurses all knew her.
Speaking of which, this is the first time she has seen someone like Comrade Lin come for a monthly check-up in her many years of working as a nurse.
"I..." Lin Qingqing wanted to say something, but her stomach hurt even more and she didn't have the strength to speak.
The doctor said, "The pregnant woman is about to give birth. Captain Lu, please go outside and wait."
Lu Cheng asked: "Can I accompany you during the birth?"
"No." The doctor said, "If the family members have any emergencies, it will disturb us. Please understand, Captain Lu."
Lu Cheng couldn't afford any unexpected situation, so he had to wait outside.
As soon as Lu Chengyi walked out, Lin's mother, who was waiting outside, asked, "How is it?"
Lu Cheng said: "She's about to give birth, I can only wait outside."
When Lin's mother heard this, she said, "You have to wait outside. In our countryside, when a woman gave birth at home, her husband insisted on accompanying her. Then he fainted when he saw the blood. Now, the pregnant woman is already busy giving birth, and the family has to take care of the fainted man."
Lu Cheng nodded and said nothing. He naturally followed the hospital's rules, but if it were him, he would definitely not faint at the sight of blood, as he was used to seeing blood. But at the same time, he was also a person who followed the rules and knew that the doctor's arrangement must have a reason.
The sounds in the delivery room could not be heard outside, so Lu Cheng could only wait. In the past, when doing tasks, the more Lu Cheng waited, the calmer he became. But now, at the door of the delivery room, the more he waited, the more uneasy he became.
He didn't know how long it had been, but the eyes that were staring at the delivery room door seemed to be blurred. When he saw the door of the delivery room open, his body moved faster than his brain, and he subconsciously strode over. Fortunately, the door was really opened, and the nurse pushed the mobile bed out, and Lin Qingqing and the child were lying inside.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?"
"Doctor, how is my wife?"
Mother Lin and Lu Cheng asked in unison.
The doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. Both mother and daughter are safe. The baby weighs 5.8 jin."
Upon hearing this, Lin's mother breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the baby's little face in the cradle and said, "This child looks exactly like her mother. She is so blessed. Oh, I must call my family later. Everyone is looking forward to Qingqing giving birth to a daughter." Upon hearing that her daughter was fine, Lin's mother turned her attention to her granddaughter.
Lu Cheng looked at Lin Qingqing's pale face and said, "Thank you for your hard work." He had never seen her look so bad before. At that moment, his heart was lifted up.
Lin smiled and shook her head: "It wasn't hard. The doctor said that I gave birth quickly. It's only been half an hour since you came out."
Lu Cheng had long forgotten the time. He felt as if he had been waiting for a very long time.
"It was indeed fast. Comrade Lin's delivery went smoothly. The child is very obedient and doesn't want his mother to work hard. He will definitely be a good child in the future." said the doctor.
Lu Cheng: "Thank you."
When we arrived at the ward, the doctor asked the family to carry the mother from the mobile bed to the bed inside, then checked her and left. The nurse left and reminded the mother of the things she should pay attention to, then left as well.
This is a three-person ward. There is someone inside, sitting near the window, while Lin Qingqing is sitting near the door. There is no one in the middle position, but there is something placed in the **, so it is not known whether there is anyone there.
When Lin Qingqing arrived at the ward, she was so tired that she closed her eyes and fell asleep. She was also relieved to have her mother, an old hand, by her side.
Seeing her daughter fall asleep, Mother Lin couldn't help but say, "Daughter, let me undress you and let the baby suck some milk." She knew her daughter had milk.
Lin gently opened his eyes and said tiredly, "Yeah."
Seeing this, Lu Cheng asked, "Mom, what do you need me to do?"
Lin's mother said, "Go get a kettle of hot water and wash the bottle." She also brought the bottle in case her daughter couldn't suck out milk when she had a baby.
"Yeah." He took out the thermos and the bottle and went out immediately.
Mother Lin undressed Lin Qingqing and let the child suck milk, then pulled the quilt and watched over her daughter and granddaughter. After a while, Mother Lin looked at her daughter's chest again and found milk at the corner of her granddaughter's mouth, and she felt relieved.
When Lu Cheng came back, he saw Lin's mother taking out everything in the bag, including the baby's clothes and Lin Qingqing's clothes. "Mom, do you want to make milk powder now?"
"No need." Lin's mother said, "Qingqing has milk now, wait until you have no milk before soaking." You know, in the countryside, if the mother has no milk, the child drinks rice soup, so the granddaughter is lucky. But after she gave birth to her daughter, although she experienced a difficult delivery and lost half her life, she still had enough milk because she took good care of herself during pregnancy. So the daughter has been white and tender since she was young.
Lu Cheng didn't understand these things, so he left it to his mother-in-law to arrange. However, after he sat down by the bed, he looked at his wife and daughter, and asked curiously: "Mom, the child hasn't put on clothes yet, aren't you going to put clothes on her?" The child was in a swaddling cloth, which they made at home, made of the home clothes that his wife had worn. The reason for using this is that the material of the clothes that had been worn is soft, not rough, and will not hurt the child's body. In fact, the child has several sets of underwear that were altered from his wife's home clothes. And they would take them out to wash every few days and then dry them in the sun.
"No, she's just been born and there's no need to wash her. I'll wipe her body with warm water tomorrow." Lin's mother said, "Go home and cook some rice porridge. Add more water and rice soup. If you can get some meat or fish, you can add some lean meat or fish."
"I understand." Lu Cheng took note of his mother-in-law's words. After leaving the hospital, he did not go home immediately, but went to buy fish and meat.
Lin's mother took out the ceramic cup, took out the brown sugar, soaked the brown sugar water, and then covered it with a lid. When her daughter wakes up, she can drink the brown sugar water to replenish her body. If it is cold, you can add hot water. But if you soak it too late, your daughter will wake up too hot and can't drink it.
Lin's mother had been hospitalized when she gave birth to her second child. She knew that women who did not have a scalpel could drink brown sugar water, but those who did not have a scalpel could not drink it. She stayed in the hospital for several days when she gave birth to her second child, so she talked a lot with the nurses, doctors, and women in the same ward.
Even she herself didn't know it, but now she is using it.
At this time, Lu Cheng naturally couldn't buy pork, so when he went back, he went to the nearby production brigade and bought a few fish. There are many people fishing in this season, and it is allowed to catch a few fish in the river or the sea. So there are farmers who really have fish, so Lu Cheng bought them.
Almost all the people nearby knew Lu Cheng. There was no other way. Lin Qingqing was in charge of the farm. People bought piglets from the farm and exchanged them alive. So as Lin Qingqing's husband, Captain Lu was also known by everyone. When the families who had fish heard that Comrade Lin was pregnant, they were willing to exchange them. Some even wanted to give them away to make friends. Of course, Lu Cheng would not agree.
