Transmigrated to the 1960s, Li Chu only wanted to lay low and live a safe, peaceful life.
...As soon as Li Chu finished speaking, Ding Qiunan and the two children stared at him intently.
Ding Qiunan was happy, but his two children looked at him in horror. Was this still their father? How could he treat his own children like this?
"Haha, right, I'll prepare the rope when we get back, and we can use it tomorrow morning. Let's see if you two can run away again." Ding Qiunan looked triumphantly at Wenxuan in her arms, and then at Wenhui in her husband's arms.
"Dad, I'm going to tell Grandma that you're helping Mom bully me and my brother."
"Huihui, who taught you to say that all day long?"
Xiao Wenhui looked at her father with a blank expression; she didn't understand what he meant.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wenxuan said from the side, "It was my older sister who taught me."
Li Chu and his wife exchanged a glance, and Ding Qiunan asked, "Xuanxuan, which older sister taught him?"
"Yes, it's just... it's just..."
Xiao Wenxuan was so anxious that he couldn't speak, and his little face turned red.
"Little brother, it's a daycare center."
As expected of twins, Xiao Wenhui knew exactly what her younger brother wanted to say.
"It was Sister Nana from the daycare who taught me." With her reminder, Xiao Wenxuan finally managed to finish his sentence.
Judging from the fact that it was taught by older children, Li Chu felt that the nursery nanny would not teach the children to tattle.
They played around on the way, which took up some time. By the time they arrived at their doorstep, Li Qin and Jia Yuan were already there.
Once inside the house, Ding Qiunan started steaming rice.
Later, Wang Ziwen also came over with her cousin Wu Xiaoliu after get off work.
Since we're all family, there's no need to say thank you.
Wang Ziwen has already arranged for her cousin to work as a temporary worker at the grain station, and will give him a permanent position when the opportunity arises.
Li Chu learned during a casual chat while begging that Wu Xiaoliu had participated in the self-defense war against India and was forced to return to civilian life because of killing prisoners of war.
The last time Li Chu saved him, he came to Beijing to find Wang Ziwen.
Wu Xiaoliu is the son of Wang Ziwen's uncle. Her uncle has passed away, and her aunt remarried, so they have not been in contact since.
After returning from his rehabilitation, Wu Xiaoliu didn't want to go back to the countryside. Knowing that he had a cousin in Beijing, he came directly there.
He hadn't expected Beijing to be so big. Without a letter of introduction, he had nowhere to stay, so he spent his days in those dilapidated houses that nobody wanted.
The little recovery money and food coupons he had on him were quickly spent.
If Li Chu hadn't rescued him and given him money and food coupons, motivating him to keep staking out those various units, he might not have been able to find Wang Ziwen, and might have starved to death that time.
They left as dusk fell, and Wu Xiaoliu stayed at the grain station to look after the warehouse.
National Day, at the hospital, outside the delivery room
Director Li of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department said to Li Chu with a serious expression, "Dr. Li, the mother is still a bit weak. In my experience, it will be difficult for her to have a natural birth. You and your family should discuss whether to have a cesarean section. Even if we do have a cesarean section, we are not entirely confident."
That's right, Li Qiaoyun has entered the delivery room. Although Li Chu has tried his best to take care of her body, her constitution is still not strong enough for her to give birth naturally.
The children had a good National Day holiday, but because of the 15th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China military parade, Uncle Wang couldn't come at all, and Wang Jun's troops were also unable to return due to combat readiness missions.
Moreover, all the leading cadres must be on duty today, so there are only Li Chu, Ding Qiunan, Aunt Wang, and Li Qiaoyun's mother at the entrance of the delivery room.
Director Li's words made all three of them turn their attention to Li Chu, who was the backbone of the day.
Seeing Li Chu's hesitant expression, Aunt Wang said anxiously, "Xiao Chu, just say what you want to say."
“I…I do have a way to help Qiaoyun have a natural birth, but…but…” Li Chu stammered, unsure of what to say next; he was truly in a dilemma.
The Fairy Tree Romance
"What is it anyway? What time is it? Why are you still hesitating here?" Aunt Wang said angrily.
"Li Chu, tell me what you can do!" Ding Qiunan asked anxiously.
Li Qiaoyun's mother just stood by wiping away tears.
"Auntie, Qiu Nan, Director Li, my solution requires me to go in."
Li Chu's words seemed to have been paused, and everyone fell silent, stunned.
These days, it's impossible for a man to be in the delivery room, and there are no male doctors in the obstetrics and gynecology department. Li Chu's method requires him to go in himself, which is simply unbelievable.
Just like when Ding Qiunan gave birth, he was kicked out.
After a while, Director Li hesitated before speaking: "Dr. Li, what method is so special that requires you to go in? Can't we just teach this method to someone else?"
Li Chu shook his head with a wry smile: "Director Li, does anyone here know how to take a pulse?"
"Uh..." Director Li didn't know what to say. Everyone in their delivery room, including herself, was trained in Western medicine or nursing. How could anyone possibly know how to take a pulse?
"Xiao Chu, how confident are you in getting in?" Having weathered many storms, Aunt Wang quickly regained her composure.
“I can guarantee that both adults and children will be safe if I go in,” Li Chu said firmly.
Ding Qiunan held her husband's hand tightly: "Li Chu, I believe in you."
Li Chu smiled slightly at his wife.
"Mother-in-law, what are you thinking?" Aunt Wang asked.
"I...I don't know what to do either," Li Qiaoyun's mother said helplessly.
"Xiao Chu, go inside. Qiaoyun and the child's safety are in your hands." Aunt Wang stated her thoughts firmly.
Although he had Aunt Wang's approval, Li Chu was still a little hesitant. Although doctors don't distinguish between men and women, they still have to consider who the patient is. If he went in like this, how would he meet Wang Jun and Li Qiaoyun in the future?
Especially Li Qiaoyun, she will definitely be too embarrassed to see him again in the future.
Li Chu took out his mask from his pocket: "Qiu Nan, I'll cover my eyes with this mask. You come in with me."
"This, is this okay? Can you cover your eyes? What am I going to do inside? Don't make me prick my needles again, I really don't dare this time." Ding Qiunan was worried that Li Chu would prick her again like he did when he pricked her mother. This time was completely different; it involved two lives.
"I won't let you prick me, you just need to point out the places." After saying that, Li Chu took out two needles from his bag and handed them to Director Li: "Director Li, have them disinfect the needles, I need to use them later."
Director Li took the needle, gave Li Chu a deep look, and then turned and walked into the delivery room: "Dr. Li, you'd better hurry, the mother can't wait that long."
