Delicate Baby in the 1960s

When Su Jin opened her eyes, she found herself in the black land of Northeast China. Her parents had sacrificed their lives for their work, leaving her an orphan from the city.

To escape the ...

Chapter 152 Giving birth

Just as the sky was getting light, there was a knock on Lu Shiyi's door. When he got up, he covered her with a quilt.

He quickly changed into his training uniform and opened the door. Wu Jun and Lin Zitao were standing outside with serious expressions.

"The four girls were sent away. We didn't show up in person, so we asked the logistics staff to come to their house. They will be transferred to the local area in eight months." Wu Jun told Lu Shiyi, "If anyone comes to ask about it, just say you didn't see them."

Lu Shiyi nodded: "Was there any trouble in sending someone away?"

"The four girls should contact their families. It would be most appropriate to arrange jobs for them. I told them clearly in advance that it's just a job arrangement and they are not to use our name to cause trouble." Lin Zitao made three rules with the four children in advance, and this was one of them.

"Captain Three didn't show up?" Lu Shiyi sneered. "It seems Captain Three doesn't want to cause trouble, so he won't use his teammates as an excuse."

Wu Jun's lips curled slightly. "Someone told Captain Three that this isn't just a problem between the two families. If it's not handled properly, the entire village will be implicated. How can the villagers not be afraid?"

"Pay more attention to your sister-in-law recently. We'll take care of what's going on outside." Lin Zitao patted Lu Shiyi's shoulder. "You have the closest relationship with the nearby village. The food for your sister-in-law's confinement was also sent by the village. There's no guarantee that the Third Brigade won't ask you for help."

"I will be cautious." Lu Shiyi nodded.

The villagers who Lu Shiyi ordered food from were all preparing chickens. They all hoped that these two chickens would bring in extra expenses. In a bad year, they were happy that they could get this job.

On the farm, Su Jin and Lu Shiyi sat at the dining table eating breakfast. This year was her third year here. After getting married, the days passed quickly.

"Ayi!" Su Jin had just put down her bowl and chopsticks when she felt her stomach start to ache. The pain was more frequent than before and the intervals between them were shorter.

Lu Shiyi put down his dishes and helped Su Jin to the bathroom. She took a quick shower. He took the delivery bag from the closet and put it on the table. He turned and ran out of the yard to tell Liu Yunshan that Su Jin was about to give birth and asked her to make some food and send it to the clinic later.

"Go back and take care of your sister-in-law." Liu Yunshan nodded immediately and told Wu Jun to get some chicken or fish.

After Lu Shiyi informed Liu Yunshan, he turned around and ran back home, standing next to the bathroom and calling Su Jin.

"Wife, when will you finish washing?" Lu Shiyi was talking to Su Jin. Su Jin noticed that her stomachache became more frequent. After taking a quick shower, she blew her hair with a hair dryer.

At this moment, she was glad that the higher authorities had approved the electricity supply to the farm to facilitate her work.

After cleaning up, Su Jin opened the bathroom door and gave him a faint smile.

"Wife, are you having more frequent pains?" Lu Shiyi had learned a lot about childbirth from several doctors, so when she showed symptoms, he wouldn't have to just stand by and worry.

"Ayi, let's go to the clinic." Su Jin said softly, "It will take a while before the baby is born."

Su Jin turned on the monitoring in the space so that she could check the health status of the baby in her belly at any time.

The young couple walked slowly out of the house. Su Jin leaned half of her body on him to reduce her own weight.

"Wife, I have informed several doctors in advance, and your ward is reserved. You can move in directly when you get there." Lu Shiyi changed the subject and asked her not to focus on the labor pains anymore.

Su Jin chuckled, realizing his intentions. In front of him, she no longer needed to be strong and tough, she could be willful and act like a spoiled child.

"Ayi, how long will it take to get there?" Su Jin felt her legs were very heavy, and it was a bit difficult for her to walk the distance that usually took more than ten minutes.

"It's only a few hundred meters away." Lu Shiyi noticed that she was a little tired and wanted to run over with her in his arms, "A few doctors reminded me to be more careful."

Su Jin's forehead began to sweat. She found the gate of the clinic's courtyard and gritted her teeth and walked forward.

"Ayi, can you accompany me later?" Su Jin found herself timid.

In modern times, many fathers who accompany their babies during childbirth develop psychological problems after giving birth, but she really hopes that he can stay by her side.

"I've discussed this with the doctors a while ago, and they suggested I stay with you behind a curtain, because some people are still a bit hesitant right now." Lu Shiyi said helplessly, "I'd rather stay with you safely, but I also have to consider what others think. After all, I'll have to cooperate in the future."

Su Jin chuckled: "Ayi, you've done well enough."

It is the best that Lu Shiyi can achieve this in this era.

After arriving at the delivery room, Wang Boya quickly pulled the curtain. Lu Shiyi sat beside her, holding Su Jin's hand tightly.

Wang Boya watched the smile on Su Jin's face disappear, and reached out to grab him tightly.

Behind the curtain, Lu Shiyi sat on the stool with a stiff back, staring at the curtain nervously. He had never been so nervous even when he was on a mission.

Wu Jun and Liu Yunshan came over with a thermos bucket, and were stunned for a while when they didn't see Lu Shiyi outside the delivery room.

Liu Siying came out of the delivery room and Liu Yunshan went up to her to ask about her condition.

"Bu Lu is in the delivery room. Apart from us doctors and nurses, only you two know about this." Liu Siying said hurriedly.

"I understand," Liu Yunshan nodded with a smile, "You should get back to work."

Wu Jun sat with Liu Yunshan on a chair in the corridor, and they both looked at the red light above the delivery room.

"Shi Yi has stepped on some people's taboos, but he also loves his wife." Wu Jun said happily.

"Who said it wasn't? Once the baby is born, notify Mr. Lu immediately." Liu Yunshan instructed Wu Jun, "Have you made arrangements for the four girls?"

"Everything has been arranged. The two sisters will stay in one village so they can help each other." Wu Jun asked people to inquire about the situation in the two villages in advance. "Don't worry."

"Thank you for your trouble. The four girls will get married in a few years, so you just need to keep an eye on them." Although Liu Yunshan didn't want to interfere, she couldn't let outsiders bully them.

"I told the two village chiefs to prevent anyone from bullying them. It's up to them to decide on their own marriage. Our staying out of the way is the best protection we can provide." Wu Jun said in a low voice.

In the delivery room, Su Jin looked like she had been pulled out of the water. She had little strength left.

"Minister Lu, have you asked people to prepare food? If not, I'll let Xiaoying go to the cafeteria to get food." Wang Boya asked in a low voice.

"My aunt is outside. I told her in advance." Lu Shiyi heard Liu Yunshan's voice.

Liu Siying went out again and walked in front of Liu Yunshan.

"Aunt, Minister Lu asked me to get my sister-in-law's meal." Liu Siying whispered to Liu Yunshan.

"Here, I made some chicken noodle soup specially for her." Liu Yunshan handed her the thermos. "How is Xiaojin now?"

"She hasn't given birth yet. Doctor Wang said it will take another two or three hours before she gives birth." Liu Siying comforted him.

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of a baby crying came from inside the door, and Liu Siying hurriedly walked in holding the thermos.

Su Jin lay exhausted on the delivery bed. When she heard the baby crying, her eyes became moist.

"Bu Lu, sister-in-law, it's a fat boy weighing 6.2 jins, born at 10:20." Wang Boya and the two doctors congratulated them.

After the doctor had finished cleaning up, Liu Siying opened the curtain. Lu Shiyi looked at his pale-faced wife and leaned over to kiss her on the forehead.
