If you ask him to ride a bicycle or drive a jeep, it would be fine, but if you ask him to drive a ox cart, he has never tried it.

His good brother's wife was about to give birth, and he was also terrified. It was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a thing up close, so he couldn't help but feel flustered.

It would definitely be better to have someone to help now.

Su Qingxue felt the pain in her stomach getting a little more severe and knew that she would definitely be able to give birth to the baby today.

I took a look at the sky outside. It was just beginning to turn white and the sun had not yet come out.

It’s still early!

"Su Zhiqing, don't be anxious, take your time, get on the ox cart first, and you will definitely catch up."

The captain was worried about the inexperience of these young people, and they were panicking, so he quickly spoke to them to comfort them.

Su Qingxue was not very anxious. After all, as someone who had experienced the end of the world, she had a strong ability to endure pain.

From the outside, she didn't look uncomfortable at all. She watched Zhou Huaian put straw on the ox cart and spread a quilt on it, then slowly got on the ox cart.

"Excuse me, Captain!"

The team leader was indeed very experienced in driving ox carts, and there was a quilt on the cart, so Su Qingxue didn't feel uncomfortable when sitting on it.

He even had the energy to comfort Zhou Huaian, whose hands were shaking with fear.

"Don't be afraid. I don't feel any pain at all. The birth is not that soon. Look, I'm fine. Don't let me faint when I'm still fine at the hospital."

Su Qingxue could even joke with him just to ease his nervousness.

Zhou Huaian must have known this, but he was too worried about his wife, so it was difficult for him to remain calm.

"Wife, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Although he didn't take it seriously when he was asked to pack the steamed buns, he actually stuffed two into his bag when he left.

I am just worried about the current situation. The restaurants are definitely closed, so if you are hungry, you can have a bite to fill your stomach first.

Before he said it, Su Qingxue didn't feel anything, but as soon as he said it, it seemed as if she was indeed a little hungry.

"Here, I am a little hungry. Let me eat first."

The captain and Sun Rui were sitting in the front row. Listening to the noise coming from behind them, they felt that the young couple were quite carefree.

She is about to give birth, and at such an urgent moment, she still has the mind to chat and laugh. I really admire her.

Normally, it takes about an hour to go to the commune by ox cart.

Although I was very anxious today, I didn't dare walk too fast. After all, the weather was not too cold, so it took me a little longer than usual to get to the hospital.

There are still very skilled doctors in the hospital who are on night shift.

- After looking at Su Qingxue's condition and taking her pulse, the doctor instantly stopped being anxious.

"Wait another four or five hours before coming back. If you are not about to give birth, you can go and get hospitalized first and come back when you are about to give birth."

Don't you need a nurse to check if the cervix is dilated to a certain extent?

Su Qingxue looked puzzled, and had only one thought in her mind: that doctor was truly amazing, as he could sense what was happening just by feeling her pulse.

Zhou Huaian hurried to go through the hospitalization procedures, and after everything was done, he followed the nurse directly to where he was staying.

I felt a little relieved when I knew it wouldn't be that fast.

Zhou Huaian thought that he couldn't let them wait here for him, so he simply asked them to go back first.

"Captain, I'm sorry to bother you today. I'll treat you to red eggs after the baby is born. It's not that soon anyway, so you can go back first. It's time to pay the public grain soon. There are still many things in the village that cannot be done without you. Thank you today."

After that, he turned to Sun Rui beside him and said, "You should go back with the captain as well. Don't forget to ask for a few days' leave for me. I will bring the baby back to you after it is born."

The captain really couldn't stay here for long. He got up so early in the morning to help with the delivery because the two families got along so well. Now that the patient has been safely sent to the hospital, he really needs to go back early and not delay things in the village.

"Okay, Zhou Zhiqing, I'll go back first. When Su Zhiqing is ready to go back after giving birth, just tell someone and I'll come pick you up in a bullock cart.

But don’t try to walk back by yourself, or you’ll get caught in the wind.”

He was worried that the young girl didn't know anything and didn't have an elder to look after her. If she got caught in the cold, she would easily get postpartum sickness. So he, as a grown man, had to give her some advice.

He was talking about all the things to pay attention to when having a child, and I don't know where he heard it from.

When he said these words, this grown man felt embarrassed and his whole face was flushed.

After saying that, he couldn't wait to go out.

Seeing the captain running away in panic, I was quite grateful.

Sun Rui didn't say much, just nodded at Zhou Huaian, indicating that he would help to ask for leave.

He was worried that the captain would leave too fast and wouldn't be able to wait for him, so he prepared to leave without saying anything more.

Zhou Huaian quickly took a key and went over. "Please help keep an eye on the house. I don't know when I will be back. Collect the things in the backyard so they don't rot in the field."

Sun Rui nodded, "I see. Do you want me to bring you something? Is there anything you forgot to bring?"

"No, I have brought most of them. If there are things I didn't bring, I can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them. Don't worry. Just take care of the family and don't forget to tell my father-in-law."

"Don't worry, it's still early when we get back. I'll go tell them when no one is around."

After Sun Rui and Zhou Huaian finished talking, they turned to Su Qingxue who was lying on the bed and said, "Sister-in-law, I will go back first. I will come to see you after you give birth."

Su Qingxue endured the pain in her body, smiled at him, and said soothingly: "Don't worry, it's okay, I'm in great health."

After talking for a few more words, Sun Rui was worried that the captain would not wait for him, so he did not talk for too long and left quickly.

When they were the only two people left in the ward, they just stared at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Fortunately, it was not yet 5:00 in the morning when she moved in. There was no one else in the ward and no other noise. Su Qingxue fell asleep quickly.

After Su Qingxue fell asleep, Zhou Huaian sat beside her and watched her quietly. Seeing his wife fall asleep, cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously. He knew that she must be in a lot of pain.

I thought since I already have twins, I might as well not have more in the future!

However, he did not dare to make a decision on his own and planned to discuss it with his wife after she gave birth. He really could not bear to see her suffer.
