Lu Xia still couldn't accept it. "Then why didn't you go to the hospital when you gave birth? Li Aiguo was also an educated youth from the city, so why did he trust the midwife from the countryside?"

Sun Shengnan was a little helpless when she heard this. "It is said that he originally planned to take his wife to the hospital to give birth, but the due date was moved up and he didn't expect it. Hey, I heard that hospitals can perform caesarean sections now. If they had gone there, this probably wouldn't have happened."

"yes."

But it was too late to say this now, and it was useless to regret it. Lu Xia sighed, "What about the child?"

"The child is fine, it's a girl, and apart from being a little thin, I think I can raise her."

"That's good, it's at least a little bit of thought."

"Yes," Sun Shengnan sighed again, "You didn't see what Li Aiguo looked like today. A grown man, he just stood there in a daze holding his daughter. He looked like he had lost all his energy and spirit. He looked several years older in an instant."

Lu Xia also felt a little sad after hearing this. She didn't expect that this couple, who were envied by the educated youth and the villagers, would end up like this.

"What does he plan to do in the future? Will he go back to the educated youth camp?" After all, he is now living in his wife's family's home, and the girl is gone, so he may not be able to continue living there.

Unexpectedly, Sun Shengnan shook her head and said, "I don't think so. I think the Wu family treats him very well. Sister Xu was so distressed to see him like this today that she tried to persuade him with tears. Besides, he has a child, so he probably won't move away."

...

...

"That's good."

Lu Xia nodded, because after hearing this, they were not in the mood to say more.

After they returned, they were silent for a while. After Jiang Junmo put away his things, he suddenly said, "When you give birth in the future, we will go to the hospital a month in advance."

Lu Xia was originally upset, but after hearing what he said, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think the hospital is your home? They will probably chase you away if you go there."

Jiang Junmo thought about it carefully and said, "Then find a house near the hospital so it will be convenient for me to go there when I give birth."

Seeing that he had already made a plan, Lu Xia was too lazy to talk to him anymore and interrupted him directly: "Okay, go get some pickled cabbage and stew the bones tonight."

Jiang Junmo, who was still thinking about the plan, said: "...I know."

Not long after the two of them finished cooking, they heard shouting outside again.

Jiang Junmo opened the door and walked out.

Lu Xia also looked outside and saw a young man from the village. She had seen him before but didn't know his name.

The young man had red eyes and he forced a smile when he saw Jiang Junmo. He pushed his bicycle in, handed him a bag of things, and then left.

Jiang Junmo came back with the bicycle and the things in his hand. He said without waiting for her to ask, "It was Comrade Wu's younger brother Wu Xiujun. He came to return the bicycle and gave me some red eggs."

Lu Xia knew that the local custom was to send red eggs to close relatives when a baby was born, but now that the family was gone, she didn't expect them to send them anyway, which showed how much they valued the child.

Lu Xia nodded. "I guess they gave it to us because we didn't ask for rent. Let's keep it. Sister Xu is a nice person. It's not good to be too polite."

"Um."

After Wu Xiuhong passed away, the villagers were silent for a while. After that, Lu Xia also met Li Aiguo several times. After all, elementary school was about to start, and he slowly started to live a normal life.

But he was no longer as meticulous as before, and looked a lot more sloppy. But he was very good to his daughter. Lu Xia often saw him taking his daughter out for a walk, and only then could she see his smile.

Of course, this is all in the past.
