The phone ringing late at night was particularly harsh. Su Tiantian, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up. She realized it was her phone ringing. Just as she was about to answer it, her daughter who was sleeping on her right was also woken up and started crying.
Su Tiantian had no choice but to sit up and reach out to hug her daughter first: "Tangtang, be good. Did you wake us Tangtang? Don't be afraid, mommy is here."
The phone was still ringing and Liu Jingze woke up. He turned on the bedside lamp and picked up Su Tiantian's mobile phone from the bedside table with a serious expression: "It's Zhihao's call." Without asking Su Tiantian's opinion, he pressed the answer button and handed the phone to Su Tiantian's ear.
He checked the time on his phone. It was 2:05 AM. A call at this time must be about something urgent.
As soon as the phone was connected, Su Zhihao's anxious voice came: "Sister, Aling's water broke."
Su Tiantian actually guessed that her sister-in-law might be about to give birth. She said calmly, "We need to rush to the hospital. Aling should lie down flat. The doctor told you about the precautions last time. Bring your delivery bag and rush to the emergency room. We will be transferred to the obstetrics and gynecology department when the time comes."
Su Zhihao said, "Let's go now, and Mom and Dad will follow."
Su Tiantian said, "Be careful when driving. If necessary, call an ambulance. Your brother-in-law and I will go to the hospital later."
After the call ended, Liu Jingze, who already knew what had happened, said, "Let's change clothes and go to the hospital quickly."
Su Tiantian looked at her sleepy daughter in her arms and said, "What about Tangtang? Should we let Azhi sleep with her?"
Liu Jingze said as he changed his clothes: "Okay. I'll tell Dad that we're going to the hospital."
Su Tiantian hesitated: "Would it be bad to wake up Dad?"
Liu Jingze said: "Don't be afraid, Dad won't be angry, and we might wake him up if we go downstairs."
At around 2 a.m., the roads were deserted. The Su family lived 20 minutes from the hospital, and the Liu family 10 minutes, so even if Su Zhihao left earlier, they would arrive at the hospital at about the same time.
When the doctor in the emergency department heard that it was a woman whose water had broken, he looked at Li Yunling's condition and immediately asked the nurse to notify the obstetrics and gynecology department to prepare.
As the bed was pushed from the emergency department on the first floor to the obstetrics and gynecology department on the seventh floor, Li Yunling was sweating profusely. "The doctor said last time that if my water broke, I had to give birth as soon as possible. I'm a little scared."
Su Zhihao quickly said, "Don't be afraid, we are in the hospital and there are doctors."
Su Tiantian comforted her: "A Ling, don't be afraid, we are all here."
The doctor on duty in the obstetrics and gynecology department came out of the examination room and said, everyone rushed to greet him. The doctor said seriously: "The pregnancy is 38 weeks and 4 days. The amniotic fluid has broken. The delivery should be as soon as possible. However, the cervix is not dilated. The umbilical cord of the fetus is wrapped around the neck and has not descended into the pelvis. I think the birth will be a bit difficult."
Su Zhihao said, "Doctor, do you mean a caesarean section?"
The doctor said, "A caesarean section is recommended. I don't think the injection of oxytocin will result in a normal birth."
Su Zhihao said, "It's a Caesarian section, right? Which doctor will perform the operation?"
The doctor said, "I'm the doctor on duty. I can do it. Do you want to designate a doctor?"
Liu Jingze said, "I want Director Guan Huizhong to perform the surgery. She has always been doing prenatal checkups for pregnant women."
The doctor was a little embarrassed: "At this time, I don't know if Director Guan can make it."
Liu Jingze said, "I'll call her." Su Zhihao quickly said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Half an hour later, two nurses entered the ward, and one of them said, "Li Yunling, we'll take you to the operating room now."
Another nurse said, "After you give birth, you will be transferred to another ward. You can choose a double room, a triple room, or a large room. A large room is for six people."
Su Tiantian said: "Isn't there a VIP ward?"
The nurse said, "Yes, 800 yuan a day, at your own expense."
Su Zhihao said: "We want a VIP ward."
They had already agreed to stay in the VIP ward after the baby was born. The VIP ward in the town hospital was much cheaper than the municipal hospital where Su Tiantian had originally stayed.
Why didn't Li Yunling go to a municipal hospital to give birth? That's because her situation was different from Su Tiantian's. Su Tiantian was pregnant with twins at the time, so it was safer to go to a large hospital.
At the door of the operating room, Su Zhihao paced back and forth. He was anxious and uncomfortable sitting down. Others did not try to persuade him to sit down, as it was useless anyway.
Su Jinyuan looked at Liu Jingze hugging Su Tiantian sitting on the chair and asked, "A few days ago, they said that the nanny who was taking care of Xiaoyi quit. Have you hired someone yet?"
Liu Jingze said: "The nanny said that my mother-in-law was injured and needed someone to take care of her. She was asked to leave on the same day. There is no point in staying if your heart is not here. We haven't hired anyone yet. Dad said he would take care of Xiaoyi himself, and grandma said she could help with the child. We need to slowly find a suitable new nanny."
Sang Yimei said a little worriedly, "Isn't it possible for Aunt Lu to take care of the child?"
Su Tiantian said, "Mom, don't worry. Dad and the nanny will take care of her during the day. Brother Xi and Azhi will help. At night, Tangtang will sleep with us. She only needs to wake up once at night. We can take care of her."
Su Jinyuan said, "Now that you're all here, who's going to accompany Tangtang?"
Liu Jingze said: "She was woken up and cried in frustration. She also cried when the nanny held her. But her grandmother said she would sleep with her, and she agreed."
Thinking of her daughter's sudden smile, revealing two small dimples, Su Tiantian said, "Tangtang likes her great-grandmother very much."
When Su Zhihao received his 6.9-pound son from the nurse's hands, he was so excited that he couldn't describe it: "I'm a father now. He looks a lot like me."
Su Tiantian was also very happy: "I am an aunt now. The nurse just said that A Ling will be transferred to the ward in about half an hour. Let's arrange how to take care of her and the child. Mom and Dad, are you going back to the factory today?"
Su Jinyuan checked his phone and said, "It's past four in the morning now, and I need to be back before eight. The factory can't be left unattended. We have two shipments coming in, and the customers are anxious. Yimei, Xiaomei promised last time to take care of Aling during her confinement. Will you call her after daybreak?"
Sang Xiaomei was Sang Yimei's biological sister. She had promised to take care of Li Yunling during her confinement, so they didn't hire a confinement nanny. As for a confinement center? They hadn't even considered going there.
Sang Yimei nodded: "Call her after dawn, it's not good to wake her up now."
Su Tiantian said, "How about this? Mom and Dad, let Brother Jing take you home to rest before going to work. Zhihao and I will watch over you at the hospital."
Su Jinyuan took the child from Su Zhihao and said worriedly, "Are you and Zhihao okay?"
Su Tiantian said, "Dad, I'm already a mother of two children. If it doesn't work, you can ask the doctor or the nurse. The service in the VIP ward is pretty good."
Sang Yimei thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I'll call your third aunt after daybreak."
Liu Jingze said, "Father and mother-in-law, I'll ask the driver to take you back. I'll go home to take care of Tangtang and ask the nanny who takes care of Tangtang to come over for half a day. She has experience in taking care of mothers and children. She'll go back after Third Aunt arrives. I'll ask someone to bring breakfast and lunch over. Just let me know what you want to eat in advance."
This arrangement is certainly good.
Su Jinyuan didn't bother being polite with his son-in-law and said, "Thank you for your help."
