Chapter 32: New Life

Lin Hai and Wang Liang both laughed. Lin Hai gestured for Wang Liang to go first: "Let's go, let's go see the mother and child."

The newborn baby and the mother were resting in the delivery room. Well, at least the mother was resting. When Lin Hai turned to the door of the obstetrics and gynecology department, he heard the loud cry of a baby. Well, it was a healthy baby.

Due to Lin Hai's insistence, the hospital was one of the first buildings to be built with cement, and its priority was even higher than the city wall and the county government office. In addition, he repeatedly emphasized the health regulations and even used flogging to enforce them. Therefore, although the entire hospital still looks inferior to the township health centers of decades ago (mainly because it lacks any advanced equipment), the green-bottom and white-top walls and the clean ground still give people a sense of security.

Lin Hai and Wang Liang did not enter the delivery room. They only met the woman at the door and told her that she did not need to come out to greet them and that a good rest would be a great help.

The child's father took the child out, and Lin Hai saw the baby in the cradle.

It was a boy, and he looked very healthy. Although his body was still wrinkled, and there was a lot of vernix caseosa mixed in the folds of his arms and neck, his loud cry still announced his existence.

Bao Gu brought two midwives to take care of the women and babies after childbirth. These were not the traditional midwives who would chant scriptures and perform shaman dances when encountering difficult births, but medical and health professionals who had received comprehensive training from Lin Hai at night school. After all, these two midwives were not professional midwives before, but had some childbirth experience, while Bao Gu was a medical talent trained by Lin Hai himself. At least for Lin Hai, everything he knew about medical and health care was taught to Bao Gu, and Bao Gu truly grew up to become the head of Qinghe County First Hospital, surpassing his ninth brother Sun Deyou.

Of course, Sun Deyou was a little unhappy about being surpassed by Bao Gu, but he finally accepted his fate. After making sure he had learned all about first aid and surgical operations from Lin Hai, he returned to his old job and became the head of military doctors.

When Lin Hai announced that Bao Gu could graduate, he said to her seriously, "There's no end to medicine, just as there's no end to people's pursuit of life and health. You've learned everything I know, but nothing can stop you from continuing your research and study. Your last name is Bao, but you don't have a given name. Today, I'll give you the name Bao Gu, after a female healer in ancient times. I hope you can inherit this name and its meaning and carry it forward."

"I remember your last name is Wang. Have you named the child?" Lin Hai turned his head and looked at the young father.

"Not yet..." The young father kept coaxing his child, then revealed a hint of pride. "According to your instructions, his mother and I both attended night school and learned a few words. We wanted to give him a good name, and a long time ago we asked the teacher which words were best. With a good name, this child will definitely be smarter in the future."

Lin Hai felt very relieved. After education, this couple of parents would no longer give their children names like Wang Da, Wang Yi, Wang Goudan, etc. as before. They would never know the so-called etiquette and honor and disgrace.

Lin Hai was about to ask County Magistrate Wang to choose a name, but he noticed Wang Liang quietly waving at him. Thinking about Wang Liang's naming skills, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, then, let's call him 'Wang Xudong.'" Lin Hai chose a name that seemed a bit out of place in this era, then said, "I think only the feeling of the rising sun can be worthy of him. This is a child full of hope, and today is a good day."
