[The timeline is not fixed and can be viewed as a standalone chapter.]
Autumn in Haicheng is picturesque. Although the weather is still hot, it is much more comfortable than in summer.
A major event happened in the Chen family today: Lan Meixuan is going into labor.
Because Lan Meixuan's water broke suddenly, it was so sudden that she had already entered labor and dared not move around.
Fortunately, the Chen family had arranged for a home-based family doctor in advance. They went upstairs to notify the doctor, and the doctor was able to come down.
Lan Meixuan's childbirth was quite a big event, and at her age, giving birth must have been very painful for her.
Chen Jiayi knew that Lan Meixuan's due date was in the next two days, so she stayed at home and didn't go out.
She discovered early in the morning that Lan Meixuan was about to give birth, so she went to call the doctor.
Although Chen Jiayi also studied medicine, she mainly focused on academic aspects of medicine; gynecology is something that needs to be handled by someone who is skilled in it!
The tools at home were prepared in advance. As soon as the doctor arrived, he tried to find ways to reduce Lan Meixuan's pain. However, Lan Meixuan was older and her condition was not good during childbirth!
Although she exercised throughout her pregnancy to boost her immunity, Lan Meixuan was in excruciating pain when she actually went into labor.
After the doctor applied the pain-relieving medication to Lan Meixuan, it took effect very quickly.
It was visibly that Lan Meixuan's expression had softened considerably.
However, she could still feel something strange, as well as a little pain.
"Madam, relax, then exert your strength."
The doctor, a head of gynecology, had delivered countless babies. Now, facing Lan Meixuan, a high-risk pregnant woman, he began the delivery methodically.
At the sound of a cry, everyone waiting outside stood up.
The doctor did not immediately take the child out, but instead checked whether the child was crying.
She frowned. "Madam, it's a boy."
Immediately, the doctor slapped him.
The baby's cries grew louder and louder, and only then did the doctor pick the baby up with satisfaction.
Originally, Chen Jiayi wanted to go in and help Lan Meixuan give birth, but Lan Meixuan didn't want her daughter to see her giving birth.
Finally, the doctor brought an assistant, who personally stitched up Lan Meixuan's wound. Although her movements were gentle, Lan Meixuan could clearly feel the needle and thread moving underneath.
The pain of childbirth is far greater than the pain of stitches.
Lan Meixuan hadn't suffered for many years, but now, suddenly experiencing the pain of childbirth, her face was almost contorted with agony.
Despite the aid of medication, the pain of uterine contractions could no longer be suppressed by drugs.
Chen Jiayi, who was outside the door, also thought of this. She gritted her teeth and thought that she would go back and research medicines that were beneficial to women.
Fortunately, both the pregnant woman and the baby are safe and sound.
After the doctor came out carrying the baby, Aunt Wang immediately brought in the soup.
The doctor quickly stopped the other person.
"Oh dear! The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet, so the new mother can't eat anything. You need to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't fall asleep."
"You can eat something after the medicine wears off. Right now, you can only drink water, not soup!"
Aunt Wang's gaze unconsciously drifted to Chen Jiayi, who shook her head at her.
Aunt Wang had no choice but to put her things down. Chen Qiming, who was already wearing protective clothing, went in first.
In order to provide a clean and sterile environment for the new mother, and in case Lan Meixuan experienced a pain attack, the family had already prepared everything.
Chen Jiayi knew that Aunt Wang and Lan Meixuan had been together for many years and were practically family.
Ever since Aunt Wang learned that Lan Meixuan was giving birth inside, she has been pacing anxiously outside, constantly worried about Lan Meixuan.
Lan Meixuan is now safe and sound, but she'll have to wait a while before she can feed the other person some soup.
Chen Jiayi smiled and said to the head of the gynecology department, "Director Chen, thank you!"
Yes, this director's surname is also Chen.
She is a good friend of teacher Chen Jiayi, and their acquaintance was somewhat by chance.
Because Lan Meixuan was an older mother, Chen Jiayi was worried that something might happen to her, so she simply spent money to hire a home-based family doctor.
Almost no one would quit their stable job for a short-term family doctor position.
Originally, Director Chen was reluctant, but she hadn't taken her annual leave, and her total vacation time was a month. Plus, Chen Jiayi was offering a really generous amount! So she came.
Director Chen smiled as he looked at the couple in front of him, a touch of emotion in his eyes.
"What are you thanking me for? It's fate, really. I was in the delivery room when your mother gave birth to you. But back then I was just an intern. Now I'm helping your mother deliver her second child, and I never expected to be in charge of everything."
Chen Jiayi never expected that Director Chen would be there when she was born.
She was a little surprised. After chatting for a while, Director Chen looked tired. Chen Jiayi, being very perceptive, escorted Director Chen to rest.
When Chen Jiayi returned, she saw her father holding her newborn brother with a gentle expression, but speaking in a fierce tone.
"You're lucky to have been born into our family! You really knew how to choose!"
"When you grow up, you'll inherit our vast fortune and serve your sister for the rest of your life..."
Upon seeing this, Chen Jiayi couldn't help but chuckle.
She looked at her father with amusement and reached out to take the child from Chen Qiming's arms.
"Dad, my little brother is still too young."
Chen Qiming chuckled, "Children grow up in the blink of an eye. You'll see if you don't believe me."
At first, Chen Jiayi didn't take those words to heart, until five years passed in the blink of an eye.
My younger brother is now five years old, a lively and energetic age.
Chen Jiayi looked at the things on her desk, which her younger brother had neatly tidied up.
She found her younger brother with some suspicion, and the moment she opened the door, Chen Jiayi's blood pressure spiked.
"Chen Xiaobao!"
Hearing the noise, Chen Xiaobao took off running.
However, the room was only so big, and his short legs couldn't outrun Chen Jiayi at all, so he was caught by her.
Chen Jiayi gritted her teeth and said, "Chen Xiaobao, you actually broke my most beloved pen!"
The moment she opened the door, Chen Xiaobao was destroying evidence of her beloved pen. If she hadn't sensed something was wrong, she might have simply assumed the pen had fallen by itself.
Chen Xiaobao cried out, "Sister, I was wrong! I didn't mean to!"
Chen Jiayi ignored Chen Xiaobao's apology and dragged him out of the room, her brows furrowed.
A gentle voice rang out, "What's wrong?"
When Chen Xiaobao saw his brother-in-law return, he immediately called out for help.
"Brother-in-law! Help me! My sister is trying to murder her own brother!"
Shen Jialiang did not speak up for Chen Xiaobao immediately, but instead inquired about the situation.
Upon learning that Chen Xiaobao had broken Chen Jiayi's favorite pen and was pretending nothing had happened, Shen Jialiang gave Chen Xiaobao a helpless look.
This time, you'll have to figure it out yourself; your brother-in-law really can't help you.
