On the morning of National Day, Huo Haocheng went to the regiment early.
The factory had finally given everyone a day off, but because everyone drank too much the night before, they were all able to get up in the morning. Lan Chaoyang even slept until noon, and if he hadn't been hungry, he could have continued sleeping.
When he woke up, he found that Xiao Mingxuan was not at home. He called out to the door twice, but no one answered. He figured that Xiao Mingxuan must have gone to his aunt's house. He scratched his head a couple of times and then went to the kitchen to cook for himself.
We had planned to take a hunting trip together since it was a rare day off, but we couldn't make it.
They all spent a comfortable and pleasant day at home with their loved ones.
Time always flies when you're working. The National Day holiday has passed, and in the blink of an eye, it's November again. Lu Shuyan's due date is fast approaching. Her mother was supposed to come and take care of her during her postpartum period, but because He Yuwei gave birth early and some things happened in Beijing, she couldn't spare the time and couldn't come.
During this time, Xiao Yuping and Wang Qun discussed the matter over the phone. After discussing it, Wang Qun said that he could take good care of Shu Yan during her postpartum period, so she didn't need to worry and could come to see her grandson when she had time off.
So, at the end of October, Lu Shuyan stopped going to the factory with Huo Haoshen, and Wang Qun moved in with them.
On November 11th, early in the morning, Lu Shuyan had just finished using the toilet when she felt her stomach dropping. "Mom, Mom!" she cried out in alarm, calling for Wang Qun, who was busy in the kitchen.
"Hey, Shuyan, what's wrong? Is your stomach upset?" Hearing his daughter-in-law calling him, Wang Qun immediately put down what he was holding and ran out.
"Mother, I feel like I'm about to give birth," Lu Shuyan said, supporting her belly with one hand and leaning against the wall with the other.
Upon hearing his daughter-in-law's words, Wang Qun first helped her sit on the sofa, then quickly ran to the gate of the residential compound to ask the gatekeeper to inform Huo Haoshen that his wife was about to give birth. After that, he quickly ran upstairs, took out the bags of clothes that Lu Shuyan and the baby needed that he had packed earlier, and then packed the malted milk powder that Shuyan needed to drink and the baby's formula.
After she finished tidying up, she heard Huo Haoshen drive back.
"Mom, how is my wife? Does her stomach hurt?" Huo Haoshen had just parked the car when he rushed over.
"It's okay, it hasn't started to hurt yet, it's just that my stomach is dropping." Hearing Huo Haoshen's voice so loud that the whole building could hear it, Lu Shuyan was almost embarrassed. But thankfully, at this time, most people were either at work or at school, and not many people were at home.
However, Lu Shuyan was quite happy about Huo Haoshen's concern for her, and felt that it was worth it to have children for him.
"Help Shuyan get in the car first now that you're back. I'll check if I've forgotten anything." Having learned from her experience taking care of He Yuwei, Wang Qun first checked what Lu Shuyan needed, then what the child needed, and finally, just in case she was cold, she packed a blanket in a bag. After confirming that nothing was forgotten, she carried the three large bags, closed the door, and went downstairs.
Huo Haoshen listened to his mother and picked up Lu Shuyan, carrying her downstairs. At that moment, he was extremely grateful that he had been training with Ruan Shaoke and the others every day. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to carry his wife and child so easily up the stairs.
After Wang Qun put his things away and sat down, Huo Haoshen quickly drove to the hospital.
Perhaps it was because of the bumpy road, but after only half an hour of driving, Lu Shuyan's stomach started to hurt.
"Huo Haoshen, my stomach hurts so much!" Lu Shuyan leaned against Wang Qun because of the stomach pain, her hands unconsciously gripping the cushion.
"Honey, don't be afraid, we'll be there soon, just hang in there a little longer." Upon hearing Lu Shuyan say that her stomach hurt, Huo Haoshen gripped the steering wheel tightly in fright.
"Shuyan, follow me, take a deep breath, and then slowly exhale." Wang Qun helped Lu Shuyan lean against him and then taught her how to inhale and exhale.
"Huo Haoshen, drive carefully and watch the road. Your family's lives are in your hands." Wang Qun saw Huo Haoshen's nervousness and knew that this was the time when he needed to stay calm the most.
As someone who has given birth to two sons, Wang Qun knows that Lu Shuyan won't give birth so soon; she's only just started experiencing symptoms, and it's still a long way off.
Lu Shuyan, leaning against Wang Qun, listened to her mother's instructions and took a few breaths, after which her stomach pain subsided.
"Huo Haoshen, I don't hurt anymore." Feeling better, Lu Shuyan immediately wanted to get out of her mother's arms. This was her mother-in-law, not her own mother. Although the Huo family had treated her very well since she married into the Huo family, and had mentioned what they said when they proposed marriage—that she would be in charge of her own home—and her mother-in-law had helped them a lot, Lu Shuyan still felt uncomfortable relying on her all the time.
And so, along the way, Lu Shuyan's stomach would hurt for a while, then get better for a while, until they arrived at the hospital, where the real pain began.
Outside the operating room, Huo Haoshen stood pacing back and forth, making Wang Qun, who was sitting to the side, dizzy with excitement, but she didn't remind him to come over and sit down to wait or anything.
His wife is desperately giving birth to his child inside, so he should be anxious and worried. That way, he will understand how difficult it is to be a mother in the future and will feel more sorry for his wife.
The baby was born at noon. Because the baby was too big, Lu Shuyan suffered a lot during the delivery. It was a boy, weighing 7 pounds 2 ounces, twice as heavy as Xiao Yong'an at birth.
Ruan Ruan and the others received the notification in the afternoon. Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoli from the factory knew that Lu Shuyan had started having contractions, but they didn't know when she would give birth. They were also waiting for notification at the factory.
But who knew that Huo Haoshen was too worried about Lu Shuyan. After giving birth, she was exhausted and fell asleep after just one look at the baby. This caused Huo Haoshen to be startled when she came out of the delivery room. Fortunately, the nurse explained quickly, otherwise Huo Haoshen would have burst into tears.
Back in the ward, Wang Qun immediately fetched hot water for Huo Haoshen to wash his wife so she could sleep more comfortably. Then he checked on the child, and seeing that he still had his eyes closed, he didn't disturb him.
By the time the mother and child remembered to notify someone, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and by then the child had already been fed once.
The families who were still waiting for news at home at that time really wanted to give this silly guy a good laugh when they received Huo Haoshen's call.
But thinking about it, it's understandable. It's natural to be nervous when you're a first-time dad.
While Lu Shuyan and the baby were asleep, Wang Qun asked Huo Haoshen to call both the Huo and Lu families to inquire about the baby's name. They had previously stated that the family elders would choose the name, so they wanted to check if the name had been chosen yet, now that the baby had been born.
