The Su family stayed in Yuncheng for three days to finalize the marriage arrangements between the two families. After setting the wedding date, they prepared to return home. The night before they left, they came to see Ruan Ruan.
"Grandpa Su, this medicine can only relieve the pain. Just take one pill before bed." Ruan Ruan handed the prepared medicine to Grandpa Su, explained its effects and how to take it, and then said nothing more.
They all understand that they are getting old. When they were young, they went to the battlefield and thought they were young, so they didn't take it seriously. After that, they worked day and night and their bodies were exhausted. There was nothing they could do.
Taking the medicine bottle from Ruan Ruan, the old man carefully put it into the inside pocket of his Zhongshan suit. "Girl, we're going back tomorrow. You're quite far along in your pregnancy, so take good care of yourself. Your grandparents and maternal grandparents asked me to check on you and tell you that your sister-in-law is about to give birth. They can't leave right now, but they'll come to see you in a few days. Take good care of yourself. Of course, they also said that with your grandmother and aunt around, they feel at ease. Take good care of yourselves, and call them if anything happens."
"Grandpa Su, thank you for your trouble. When you get back, please tell Grandpa and Grandma, and Grandpa and Grandma on my mother's side that everything is fine here. Tell them to take good care of themselves too. In a few days, the weather will gradually get cooler, so they won't have to go through the trouble of traveling back and forth. After I give birth, we'll find an opportunity to take the baby back to see them."
Okay, I understand.
After finishing their business, they left. The next time they would see each other would be when Su Yanqiu got married.
After the Su family left, Ruan Ruan didn't think about anything else and focused on resting at home during her pregnancy. In her spare time, she would read books and play with Xiao Mingxuan. Speaking of Mingxuan, every time he got out of school, if his father hadn't come to pick him up, he would run to Ruan Ruan's house with the other children in the compound. At first, this scared the Lan family quite a bit, and they searched back and forth between the compound and the school. Later, they asked the other children and found out that Xiao Mingxuan ran to his aunt's house as soon as he got out of school.
When they arrived, they saw Huo Haocheng carrying him, patting his little bottom as he walked out, and constantly lecturing him, telling him that if he went to his aunt's house again, he must tell his father or great-grandfather that if he misbehaved, he would hit him until he learned his lesson.
In response, the Lan family also said that Huo Haocheng should be disciplined properly, because they felt they owed Xiao Mingxuan before. Now the Lan family dotes on him a lot, and they can't bear to say a harsh word to him even when he does something wrong.
After this incident, whenever Xiaomingxuan didn't come home after school, Lan Chaoyang stopped looking for him everywhere and just went to Ruanruan's house to pick him up.
Su Yanqiu's marriage application was approved half a month after he submitted it, and the house he applied for was approved 20 days later.
Ruan Shaohong and Qian Ling's son was born in late October. It happened to be a weekend, and the whole family was at home. After breakfast, Qian Ling felt abdominal pain, so Ruan Shaohong drove his father's car to take her to the hospital. The family waited from morning until night before the baby was born.
Ruan Ruan only found out the next day. When Ruan Ruan's mother called her, she said that the baby was too big, weighing 7 pounds and 3 ounces, and was stuck. In the end, there was no other way, and the doctor had to reach in and pull the baby out. She also said that Qian Ling had suffered a lot this time. She also said that when Qian Ling returned to the ward, she heard the doctor say that Ruan Shaohong was so heartbroken that he cried and told the baby that if he was not filial to his mother in the future, he would break his legs.
Fortunately, Qian Ling was well taken care of at home during her pregnancy, and coupled with her good health to begin with, she recovered quickly.
After learning about Qian Ling's childbirth experience, Huo Haocheng worried that his wife might encounter the same situation during childbirth. He kept asking Ruan Ruan what he would do if she were in that situation. He even thought of more frightening scenarios, such as if the baby couldn't be delivered and the doctor asked him whether to save the mother or the baby. He told his wife, "Honey, don't worry. I will definitely choose you without hesitation. If the baby is lost, it's lost. But how can I live without you?"
The three women in the family didn't comment on this, simply assuming he was overly nervous and frightened.
Finally, still feeling uneasy, he took Ruan Ruan for another prenatal checkup. He then earnestly told the doctor that if any problems arose during the delivery, the doctor must save his wife. He was afraid that if he encountered unforeseen circumstances and had to go on a mission, he wouldn't be able to stay by his wife's side. So he wanted to make things clear now.
Ruan Ruan was getting annoyed by Huo Haocheng's rambling, but the doctor listened attentively. There was no way around it; Huo Haocheng was now Dr. Ruan's family member, and how could doctors not patiently listen to their family member?
Finally, Ruan Ruan couldn't bear to watch any longer and pulled Huo Haocheng away.
After they left, the doctor immediately spread the word throughout the hospital about how worried and caring Dr. Ruan's husband was about her. Soon, a saying became popular in the hospital: "If you're going to marry, marry someone like Dr. Ruan's husband."
Of course, they didn't know any of this. After returning home, whenever Huo Haocheng had time, he would take Ruan Ruan for walks in the family compound. The doctor had told him that pregnant women should walk around more before giving birth so that the delivery would be smoother and the mother would suffer less.
This continued until Gu Jinghe's child was born. After Dr. Jiang gave birth, when Huo Haocheng took her to visit her, he specifically asked Gu Jinghe, "Was your wife's delivery smooth?"
