Chapter 297: Surgery

Zhang Kun nodded and said, "I should go to work too. If you have anything, just call me!"

Li Xu advised: "Go ahead, but go slowly on the way."

Everyone else gathered at the door of the delivery room, looking nervous and having no time to talk to Zhang Kun.

Zhang Kun looked up, then turned and left.

Meng Xiaoning hadn't given birth until after four in the afternoon.

Li Xu went back home at noon to take care of the children while they were having lunch. She spent the rest of the time outside the delivery room, waiting for Meng Xiaoning.

Listening to the howling coming from inside, Li Lei became extremely anxious.

The other three people, because they were all women who had given birth to children, were calmer than Li Lei.

The doctor came out soon with a serious face, "The mother has no strength left. If she continues like this, the amniotic fluid will be gone and the baby will be in danger. Family members, go in and feed her some food, and observe her for another half an hour. If she doesn't work, we'll have to operate!"

When she heard about the surgery, Liang Huimei felt dizzy and almost fainted.

People of their age don't know much about medicine, so when they hear they need surgery, they think it's a big deal.

Seeing this, Li Lei hurried forward and supported Liang Huimei: "Mom, don't worry, Xiaoning will be fine."

Li Xu listened and felt a little anxious.

Although caesarean section is also very safe, Xiaoning has suffered for nearly a day and a night. If she has an operation, all the suffering before will be in vain.

But she had no strength left. If she waited until the amniotic fluid dried up, the baby would suffocate to death in her stomach.

Suddenly, Li Xu seemed to have thought of something.

If the mother had enough strength, she might be able to give birth.

She immediately said, "Wait for me, I'm going home."

She glanced at the wall and saw that it was already five o'clock and Yuanyuan had already finished school.

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

She returned home in less than ten minutes by driving the tricycle.

As expected, the children were all at home.

Seeing Li Xu coming back panting, the children were a little surprised.

Li Xu felt that Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang were getting in the way, so she quickly took out some money from her pocket and said, "I have to go to the hospital later, so I don't have time to cook for you. You two can go downstairs and buy some dumplings with the money."

Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang didn't suspect anything and just took the money and left.

After the two brothers left, Li Xu went into the kitchen, took out a kettle, and told Ji Yuanyuan: "Quick, bring in some fresh spiritual spring water."

Although the bucket was filled with spiritual spring water, it had been drawn out for many days. Li Xu always felt that it was not as good as the fresh water in the space.

Ji Yuanyuan obediently poured the spiritual spring water into the kettle. Li Xu turned on the gas, boiled the water, and then took out a thermos cup from the corner of the kitchen that was given as a gift when he bought the TV.

The water does not need to be boiled. It is spiritual spring water anyway, and there will be no parasites or anything like that in it.

After it became somewhat hot, Li Xu poured the water into a clean thermos cup.

Just after filling, Ji Ziang and Ji Zixuan came back and bought three servings of dumplings.

Li Xu held the thermos in one hand and took three servings of dumplings in the other: "I'll take these. Go buy another one!"

While walking out, Li Xu was thinking: There are five people in the hospital, and there are only three servings of dumplings, which should not be enough.

But it’s okay, as long as the mother is full, they can fill their stomach first.

Behind them, Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang looked at their empty hands, looked at each other, and were both a little surprised.

After a moment, Ji Zixuan sighed and looked at Ji Ziang: "Forget it, you stay at home with Yuanyuan, I'll go buy it!"

Ji Ziang asked: "Can you carry it? How about we accompany you?"

Ji Zixuan shook his head: "No, I can carry it!"

After saying that, Ji Zixuan walked out.

Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Ziang sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

Ji Ziang is carefree and happy.

Ji Yuanyuan was a little worried.

My mother was so anxious just now that she even came back to get the spiritual spring water. Could it be that my aunt is not in good condition?

We can only wait for Dad to come back and take them to the hospital to check the situation.

Li Xu hurried back to the hospital, handed the thermos cup and dumplings to Li Lei, and instructed: "Go in and feed her some food and water. The water temperature is just right, let her drink more, otherwise she will definitely have a sore throat tomorrow after shouting for so long!"

Li Lei nodded hurriedly, and after obtaining the doctor's consent and changing his clothes, Li Lei entered the delivery room.

Li Xu ran all the way and was so tired that he sat down on a chair next to him.

I don’t know whether the spiritual spring water works or not!

There were still two servings of dumplings left, so she called out to Liang Huimei and Liu Guihua, "I bought some dumplings, have some to fill your stomach."

Liang Huimei waved her hands and whispered, "You guys eat, I can't eat."

How could she, as a mother, endure the pain her daughter was suffering in there?

Hearing this, Li Xu whispered, "Auntie, eat something, or you won't be able to hold on. You'll be busy when the baby comes out!"

Liu Guihua also advised: "Yes, dear, even if you can't eat more, have a few bites."

After much persuasion, Liang Huimei finally managed to eat a few dumplings.

In the delivery room, Li Lei half-supported Meng Xiaoning's upper body, handed the cup of water to Meng Xiaoning's mouth, and muttered: "Drink more, drink two more sips..."

Meng Xiaoning had been in pain and shouting for a whole day, and his throat was really a little unbearable.

She gulped down all the water in the thermos in one breath.

Li Lei picked up another dumpling and put it next to her mouth: "Eat two dumplings, and then try harder!"

Meng Xiaoning gritted his teeth obediently and stuffed a few dumplings into his stomach.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after eating the dumplings, Meng Xiaoning felt like he had more energy.

She grabbed Li Lei's hand tightly, clenched her teeth tightly, and exerted all her strength.

A few seconds later, the doctor suddenly said in surprise: "Keep going, the baby is almost out, I can see the head..."

Hearing this, Meng Xiaoning quickly started to exert force again.

Following the doctor's rhythm, he exerted his strength again and again.

Her eyelids felt heavy, but she knew she couldn't fall asleep.

"Wow..." The baby finally came out.

Meng Xiaoning lay on the bed exhausted, she could hardly open her eyes.

"Congratulations, it's a little princess." said the doctor.

After hearing these words, Meng Xiaoning finally fainted with relief.

…

When Zhang Kun brought the children over, Meng Xiaoning had already been transferred to the ward.

Zhang Kun placed the thermos bucket on the bedside, "This is chicken soup, it's been stewed for several hours!"

"Sorry to bother his brother-in-law. He is still thinking about us while he is at work." Liang Huimei said politely.

It simmered for several hours, and I started simmering it while I was at work.

Zhang Kun smiled and said, "We are all family, it's only natural. Besides, it's convenient where I work, so I'll just stew it while I'm at it."

Meng Xiaoning said hoarsely: "Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Ji Ziang didn't like to listen to the adults talking. He was more curious about the baby.

"Uncle, is the baby a little brother or a little sister? Where is it now? Why can't I see it?"
