Chapter 630 What should I write?
"Teacher Lin, your family called and said your wife's water broke and she is being rushed to the hospital!"
Li Qingquan walked into the office without even saying hello and spoke to Lin Weimin.
Lin Weimin stood up in a hurry and said to himself, "Isn't there still a week left? How come it's ahead of schedule?"
He found out the hospital she was sent to, and hurried out. When he reached the door, he said to Cheng Zaochun, "Old Cheng, I'm going to take half a month's maternity leave. You can take care of the popular literature seminar. Let Li Xin take charge of the work at Tongwen Society. Let them contact you first for matters related to the society."
"I know. Go ahead."
Lin Weimin walked out of the Guowenshe building with unsteady steps and got into the car, feeling a little overly nervous.
This is the first time he has become a father in his two lifetimes.
After taking a few breaths and feeling a little more relaxed, he started the car and drove off quickly.
When we arrived at the hospital and found the door of the operating room, Tao's mother and Sister Sun were standing at the door.
"Mom, what's going on?"
"I just brought her in a while ago. Xiao Sun was preparing lunch, and I took Huimin for a walk in the yard. Who knew that her water broke while we were walking? She was due a few days earlier than the expected date."
After a brief communication about the situation, Lin Weimin calmed down when he saw that Tao Huimin had been sent to the operating room.
Mother Tao added, "Oh, by the way, Weimin, we came in a hurry and didn't bring the things we prepared. Go home and get them. Let Xiaosun go back with you. She has to prepare some food for Huimin."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After half an hour of trouble, Lin Weimin returned to the hospital with the things, and Sister Sun stayed at home to prepare food for Tao Huimin.
After waiting for about another hour, the door of the operating room opened and the nurse took the child out first.
"Mother and daughter are safe. It's a girl, weighing 15.2 catties and 50.5 cm in length."
Mother Tao put her hands together and bowed to all the gods and Buddhas.
Lin Weimin wanted to take the child, but the nurse refused, "Let the old man come."
He made way for her awkwardly, and Mother Tao said with a smile, "You've never raised a child before, so practice how to hold it later."
"Okay." Lin Weimin responded, staring at his daughter.
The newborn baby was wrapped in a swaddle, and only half of his face was visible, which was wrinkled and a little red.
Oh! So ugly!
Forget it, after all, he is my own child, so I have to be patient with him.
Tao's mother held the child for a while and began to instruct Lin Weimin on how to hold the child.
"Like this, like this, eh, right, right. Okay, I'll let it go for you, don't move, be gentle."
Tao's mother handed the child to Lin Weimin. Lin Weimin's movements were stiff when the two of them handed the child over. When the child was completely in his arms, he dared not move at all.
Small and soft, Lin Weimin's movements were extremely gentle, for fear of accidentally hurting his daughter.
I don’t know why, but the little face that seemed ugly just now now looks pretty.
My daughter is so pretty, just follow me!
While Lin Weimin was admiring his daughter's beauty, Tao's mother asked the nurse, "Nurse, when will my daughter come out?"
Lin Weimin then thought of his wife, "Yes, when will my wife come out?"
"The mother needs to be observed for two hours. You can take the baby back to the ward first."
Several people took the child back to the ward and first tried to boil water to feed the child. Lin Weimin felt that his daughter only drank a bottle cap of milk and then had diarrhea.
The meconium is black, yellow and sticky.
While Tao's mother was cleaning the house for her granddaughter, Lin Weimin stood there stupidly, unable to help at all.
After drinking milk and pooping, the child fell asleep.
Lin Weimin squatted beside her, looking at her wrinkled little face, his heart filled with joy.
Another hour later, Tao's mother was taking care of the child in the ward, and Lin Weimin went to pick up Tao Huimin.
The two of them supported Tao Huimin and slowly returned to the ward. Lin Weimin couldn't wait to show off to Tao Huimin: "Huimin, look! Our daughter is so beautiful!"
Tao Huimin's face was pale at this time, without a trace of blood, and she spoke weakly, but she still insisted on giving Lin Weimin a strong eye roll.
Lin Weimin did not ignore his wife's awareness at all, and kept showing off to Tao Huimin, "Look! Look! The little hands are moving!"
Tao Huimin decided not to argue with him and took a look at her daughter. She could only see half of her daughter's face as she was lying down. She suddenly felt an urge to cry.
She walked forward and gently touched her daughter's hand, fearing that she might wake her up.
"Go lie down on the bed for a while and recover your strength. Sister Sun has gone home to prepare things. Just bear with it for a while."
Tao Huimin slowly lay down on the bed, her lips a little dry, "I'm really a little hungry."
Lin Weimin held Tao Huimin's hand and looked at him affectionately, "Huimin, thank you for your hard work."
Finally, he said some considerate words, and Tao Huimin felt much better.
The couple were lying and sitting at the head of the bed, talking to each other. After a while, the child started crying again. Lin Weimin tried to comfort the child in a panic, but to no avail.
Tao's mother took the child over and said, "Either he is hungry, or he peed or defecated."
She checked the swaddling clothes first and found that the child had indeed urinated. She replaced the swaddling clothes with a dry diaper and the child stopped crying.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Sister Sun came to the hospital with some things.
Tao Huimin had been hungry for a long time. Looking at the red dates, millet porridge and boiled eggs brought by Sister Sun, her mouth began to water.
After eating an egg and drinking half a bowl of porridge, Tao Huimin wanted to eat more, but her mother snatched the lunch box away from her.
"You just gave birth, you can't eat too much. If you want to eat, wait an hour before eating."
Tao Huimin looked at the food eagerly and pursed her lips.
The doctor came over to ask about Tao Huimin's condition. Seeing that she was in good condition, he said, "It's OK. Both the mother and the baby are healthy. You can be discharged from the hospital if you are fine."
After completing the discharge procedures, Tao Huimin was wrapped tightly by her mother and returned home.
After returning home, Tao's mother went to check the doors and windows before letting Tao Huimin enter the house.
Seeing her mother's attitude of facing a great enemy, Tao Huimin said, "Mom, don't be so exaggerated."
"If you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you will get all kinds of diseases in the future," said Tao's mother.
Sister Sun also said, "Yes, confinement cannot be taken lightly. We are all experienced people. You have to listen to us. We will definitely not be wrong."
Tao Huimin was forced to accept the advice and lay down on the bed peacefully.
The birth took most of the day, and except for Tao Huimin, no one in the family had eaten yet, so Sister Sun hurried to cook.
My daughter started crying again. This time she didn’t poop or pee. She must be hungry.
Lin Weimin was just about to prepare milk powder for his daughter when Tao's mother took the child to Tao Huimin.
"Hey!"
Tao Huimin felt a little aggrieved. I haven’t eaten yet, so I have to feed her first.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Sister Sun to finally finish cooking.
After dinner, the family chatted for a while and went to bed early.
That night, Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin fully experienced the hardships of being parents.
I don’t know where this little baby gets such a good appetite. He needs to be fed less than every two hours, and I have to clean up his feces and urine in between.
The couple hardly slept the entire night.
Early in the morning, Tao Huimin looked at her daughter, who was well-fed and enjoying a sweet dream, with a pair of panda eyes, feeling full of resentment.
She turned her gaze to her husband and said, "Let's find a nanny."
Lin Weimin also looked at her and nodded solemnly.
While eating breakfast, Tao Huimin kept staring at Lin Weimin.
Lin Weimin received the signal and said, "Mom, I think we should hire a nanny to take care of the child. Sister Sun may be too busy to handle it alone."
"Don't you still have me? Huimin and I are more than enough to take care of the child, and she doesn't have to work now."
Tao Huimin suffered a critical blow and looked depressed.
She and her husband looked at each other, and they understood each other and decided to act first and report later.
Lin Weimin secretly made a phone call, and within less than half a day, a nanny appeared at home.
The new nanny’s surname is Qin. She is one of the two people who interviewed with Sister Sun last time but failed. This time she was called back by Li Guangfu and was overjoyed.
Sister Sun had been at home for almost a year and was very familiar with Tao Huimin, so Lin Weimin arranged for her to take care of the children, while Sister Qin was responsible for hygiene and cooking.
In the 1990s, the term "confinement nanny" did not exist.
With the new nanny, Lin Weimin and his wife immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
The only one who was unhappy was probably Tao's mother.
Feeling the distrust of her daughter and son-in-law, she has looked unhappy to everyone except her granddaughter these past two days.
In the past few days, many guests visited Lin Weimin's home. Relatives, friends, and colleagues all learned the news that Lin Weimin had a baby girl, and they almost broke down the threshold of Lin Weimin's house.
When Cheng Zaochun came, Lin Weimin specifically asked about the contemporary popular literature seminar.
"We have almost prepared everything. We will have a meeting next Tuesday. You can just stay at home and take your maternity leave. I will be there for you at the company."
Lin Weimin also told Cheng Zaochun that he wanted to hold a novel seminar specifically for Shaanxi writers in the second half of the year, and his words were exactly the same as what he said to He Qizhi.
The frequency of seminars held by the National Literature Society is calculated on a weekly basis.
But Lin Weimin’s so-called “novel seminar” is obviously not a serious seminar, but a “writing meeting” under the banner of a seminar.
Eating, drinking, having fun, and traveling are the basic characteristics of this kind of literary gathering. Publishing houses or editorial departments certainly don't have the money to burn to do these things.
Dear writer, you have come here, eaten, drunk and played, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to leave some "calligraphy"?
Some publishing houses euphemistically call it a writers' club, but in fact they just find a beautiful place, provide good food and drink to the writers, and refuse to produce manuscripts and resolutely refuse to release them, which is even worse than a sweatshop.
The writers' gatherings of the Guowen Society have always been relatively harmonious and not so naked. The purpose of the gatherings is to strengthen relationships, and the true colors are generally revealed after the gatherings are over, which makes them appear more affectionate.
"You arrange it yourself." Cheng Zaochun had no objection to this matter.
In recent years, Shaanxi literary circles have produced many talented people and are almost far ahead of the rest in Chinese literary circles, so it is not a problem to hold a special seminar to strengthen the relationship.
At night, Lin Weimin lay on the bed, Tao Huimin coaxed her daughter to sleep, and stood by the bed looking at her, her face full of maternal radiance.
When they got on the bed, she said to Lin Weimin, "Weimin, you said you wrote so many novels, shouldn't you write something for our little Doubao?"
Xiaodoubao is my daughter’s nickname.
Lin Weimin didn't expect Tao Huimin to come up with such an idea, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be right. His daughter was born, so he should write something to commemorate her.
What should I write?
Teacher Lin has just given birth to a baby girl. Wouldn't readers like to congratulate him by sending him some monthly tickets?
