Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Jiang Hongguo hurriedly called for help: "Doctor, I...

Summer is here, and the nice clothes bought in the city can be worn. After she started to wear thin clothes, the aunts in the village all said that Jiang Hongguo's belly was not big. Hongguo took out the medical examination report and said that everything was normal.

Aunt Liu said, "Look at Hongguo. She has been eating a lot but has not gained any weight since she was little. Life was hard before, but now her family can only have meat dishes every meal. She just won't gain any weight. This child should be the same as her, with a small belly."

The inspection list from the city and Aunt Liu's words helped Hongguo to stop many of the villagers' speculations.

In early July, Aunt Liu's youngest son took the college entrance examination. After estimating his scores, he was struggling to decide on a college application. Aunt Liu wanted her son to go to the capital, any school would be fine, as long as it was in the capital.

Uncle Yang hoped that his son could apply to a normal school, saying that it would be a good idea to be a teacher. Little Yang listened to his teacher's advice and decided that choosing a school was as important as choosing a major. So he chose an industrial university in the provincial capital and pursued the path of an engineer.

Aunt Liu was reluctant, but waited for the admission letter to come down. After all, it was a good major in a key university in the provincial capital, so she was still very happy. She had money from setting up the stall, so she held a graduation banquet at home.

In the past, Hongguo would definitely be asked to cook, but now that Hongguo is about to give birth, he is only responsible for eating.

Before the banquet was over, Aunt Liu pulled Hongguo into the room to talk, complaining that her youngest son had no conscience.

"He got into a good university, so I felt relieved. I said I would give the stall we rented to his sister, but he said it was not a good idea. He also said the best way to relieve his sister was for me to take care of her children and let her and her husband go out to work. His sister was so good to him, and he was so heartless."

Jiang Hongguo asked: "Then Xiao Yang, can you tell me the reason?"

"I told you that if I gave the stall to his sister, it would be snatched away by my mother-in-law and become hers. I don't believe it. I gave it to my daughter and son-in-law. Why should they snatch it away?"

Jiang Hongguo said, "Because she gave birth to your son-in-law, Aunt Liu, even if you can treat your daughter-in-law as well as you treat your daughter in the future, your daughter's mother-in-law may not be able to do so. She thinks that if she marries into her family, she is a member of her family, and the business also belongs to her family."

Aunt Liu didn't believe it and was unhappy with what Jiang Hongguo said. She complained to her husband, "Hongguo is really showing off because he is rich. I can't listen to what you said to me."

Nice words are not pleasant to hear. Lao Yang agrees with his son's opinion, but his wife won't listen. Hong Guo knows that she can't persuade her, so she says it firmly. It is better to blame her now than in the future. Hong Guo has come to terms with it.

Since he couldn't persuade his wife, Old Yang, like his son, said nothing more.

Aunt Liu's other stall was given to her daughter and son-in-law, along with all the supplies for setting up the stall. Aunt Liu continued to sell fried dough sticks and sesame cakes with Uncle Yang at Hongguo's original stall.

In early August, Jiang Hongguo reached her due date. She packed her delivery things and checked into the county hospital to wait for her birth. She was able to eat and sleep well. Changzong stayed by her bedside day and night, and went out to buy Jiang Hongguo's favorite dishes for every meal, never repeating them.

Gu Changzong used his connections to get a single room, where he was not disturbed by anyone and was quite comfortable.

Last night, Jiang Hongguo said she wanted to eat the fried dough sticks made by Aunt Liu. Early in the morning, Gu Changzong went out to buy some and brought back four dough sticks.

Jiang Hongguo asked: "I can only eat one, why did you buy so many?"

Gu Changzong put down the bag in his left hand and said, "This is the fried dough sticks from Aunt Liu's stall."

Holding up the bag in his right hand, he said, "This is the fried dough sticks stall of Aunt Liu's daughter and son-in-law. Aunt Liu's daughter is pregnant again and has gone into hiding somewhere. The stall has been taken over by her mother-in-law, who also sells fried dough sticks. Try it and see which one tastes better?"

Jiang Hongguo picked a piece of each and found that the ones fried by Aunt Liu were crispier and more fragrant.

Aunt Liu didn't listen to Xiao Yang's advice before, and now Aunt Liu's daughter is hiding from giving birth, so she has no choice but to close the stall. Why bother?

Jiang Hongguo said: "Money can really change people."

Gu Changzong said: "Guoguo, you don't need to change. I will earn back all the money you want."

Jiang Hongguo was afraid that he might think too much, so she quickly said, "Our family is already very rich, I am very satisfied."

Gu Changzong was happy when Jiang Hongguo said she was satisfied.

Today is Hongguo's due date. She started having stomach pains right after she finished breakfast. There was no reaction at all yesterday, so now she's going to give birth today?

"Guoguo, are you in pain?" Gu Changzong held Hongguo's hand tightly. He wanted to suffer for her, but there was no way he could do that.

Jiang Hong really felt okay. Maybe it was because her stomach was small, so it didn't hurt too much? She wasn't sure.

The head nurse came over to check and said, "It's already three fingers dilated so quickly? Can't you feel it? Go to the delivery room quickly."

Gu Changzong immediately picked up Jiang Hongguo and walked quickly towards the delivery room. The nurse behind him couldn't catch up with him.

Jiang Hongguo was carried to the door of the delivery room. She felt her stomach was heavy and something was about to come out. Could she be giving birth?

The baby in her belly is so small, so should we just let her give birth faster and suffer less?

She was afraid to give birth at the door of the delivery room, so she asked Changzong to let her down: "I'm going in to give birth, you wait at the door."

Gu Changzong was anxious to follow in, but was stared at by the nurse at the door.

Jiang Hongguo was helped into the delivery room by the nurse. Besides her, there were several other women in labor, all waiting for their cervixes to dilate.

Everyone was screaming in pain, and Hongguo felt embarrassed. She felt she could bear it, but she also knew that giving birth was extremely painful, and her situation was different from others.

After waiting for only ten minutes, Jiang Hongguo felt something coming out of her stomach, and she quickly called out, "Doctor, I'm about to give birth."

"How is that possible? It was only three fingers dilated before it came in. How can it be that fast for your first baby..."

"Really, the baby seems to have come out by itself." Jiang Hongguo was at a loss. The pain was really unbearable at this moment.

The midwife ran over and said happily: "The baby's head is out, how come it's so fast? I really feel sorry for you, mom, and I don't want you to suffer."

Jiang Hongguo felt that the midwife was using pulling force and asked her to cooperate and push. Hongguo pushed hard, and then the baby was born as if her stomach was unloading.

"This baby is so small, but it looks so fresh and not wrinkled at all. This pregnancy of yours is really interesting."

The nurse cleaned the child, weighed him, wrapped him in a small blanket, and sent him back to Jiang Hongguo: "This 3.2 kg kid is pretty good looking."

Three pounds and two ounces is quite small, but it doesn't matter that the baby is a little small. The nurse just patted his back and gave him a bath, and his expression didn't change. Except for being small, the baby is normal in other aspects, so Jiang Hongguo was relieved.

She recovered her strength in the delivery room, and the child was taken out to Chang Zong. After a while, the nurse took the child back and smiled helplessly: "Your child cried as soon as he was in his father's arms, and his father didn't even smile when he saw him. Is he his biological child?"

Jiang Hongguo: "Of course they are my biological children."

How could the previous Gu Zhiqing give birth to a child who could control his weight at will? He must have inherited Changzong's bloodline to be so extraordinary.

After resting for a while, Jiang Hongguo regained her strength and walked as light as a swallow. It must be because she felt relaxed after giving birth and delivering the baby.

Without the help of the nurse, she put on her hospital gown, put some straw paper under her to prevent lochia, and went out by herself with the baby in her arms. Jiang Hongguo recovered quickly, which was rare, but the hospital gave birth to so many babies a day, which was not uncommon at all. There were several born in a month, and the doctors and nurses were used to it.

All of Gu Changzong's anxiety was focused on Jiang Hongguo. He picked her up and said, "Don't walk. I'll carry you back."

Hong Guo was holding the child, and was also held by Chang Zong. She was too embarrassed to raise her head: "Chang Zong, put me down and walk by yourself. You hold the child."

"Wait until we get back to the ward before picking him up." This time, Gu Changzong didn't listen to Hongguo. Ignoring all the looks on the road, he carried Jiang Hongguo back to the ward, gently put her back on the bed with a pillow already placed on it, and then he took the child from Hongguo's arms.

The newborn baby frowned, wanted to cry but didn't, and continued to sleep.

"Guoguo, the first time I met this little guy, he was fighting with me and kept crying. I refused to comfort him. Look, you are next to him, he can feel your presence and is still very well behaved. This little guy knows how to treat you well."

Jiang Hongguo teased the curious child, and the little one was very quiet and well-behaved.

The head nurse came over, asked Gu Changzong to go out, and then instructed the new mother how to feed the baby.

Gu Changzong pointed to the two cans of milk powder he had bought in advance and said, "We bought milk powder and fed it to the little one. Hongguo will eat well and sleep well."

"You plan to take care of the baby during the confinement period? You don't have to go out to earn money?"

Gu Changzong was quite proud: "I have already made a lot of money in advance. When Guoguo gives birth, I will take care of the child and will not let her get tired by the little thing."

The head nurse suddenly envied Jiang Hongguo. Where did she find this man? He was a little silly but cute.

"Okay, feed him every two hours. If the baby cries, it means he is either hungry or has peed. Remember to change his diaper."

Gu Changzong went out for a walk and soon all the family members on this floor knew about the male family member in Ward 301. They asked several people how to prepare milk powder and watched other families change diapers for their newborn babies. They also asked about the posture to hold a baby and the amplitude to rock a baby to coax him. They asked very detailed questions.

Soon, many family members came to Ward 301 to see what was happening. Every time they came to visit, Jiang Hongguo was either eating or sleeping, or Gu Changzong would rub her legs and arms, feed her milk powder, and change her diapers. Gu Changzong did a good job.

This was the scene that Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhao saw when they came to see Hongguo.

Chen Minyi was very pleased. Hongguo's father had made the right choice of son-in-law. Changzong was really great.

He smiled: "Your aunt discussed with me that she wanted to take you to our house to recuperate after childbirth, but I think that's not necessary in this situation."

Jiang Hongguo's mother and Aunt Zhao have a close relationship like sisters. Because of their parents' relationship, Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhao are destined to be together. Jiang Hongguo treats Aunt Zhao like her own aunt.

Although Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhao's homes were good, she just wanted to return to her small home with Chang Zong and told them not to worry: "Look, Chang Zong can take good care of me."

Jiang Hongguo was able to be discharged from the hospital. Aunt Liu came and wrapped Jiang Hongguo tightly with a thin blanket. Aunt Liu held the little one in her arms, and Changzong drove the tractor borrowed from the village back to the village.

Aunt Liu said that although the child was small, he looked very cute, so she held the child in her arms and showed it to the neighbors who came over.

As soon as the baby was born in the delivery room, Jiang Hongguo thought the baby was cute. When he was discharged from the hospital, he was weighed and found to be 3.6 jin (15.3 kg), having gained 4 liang (1.2 ounces).
