Chapter 154 Find a Bull Cart to Send
It turned out that today was New Year's Eve, and the captain was in a hurry to go back home to celebrate the New Year, so he sailed the boat away early.
This made everyone in the jeep very anxious!
Especially Shen He, who was already extremely nervous, and now it seemed as if the blood in his body was frozen.
Other things are easy to deal with, but having a child cannot wait.
Su Ranran's contractions were also beginning to become regular, and the speed was completely beyond the normal delivery speed.
During pregnancy, both Su Ranran and Shen He did their homework and naturally knew that normal development would not be so fast.
What's more, there are two mothers here who also know that the current situation is very critical.
"Mom, mother-in-law, you guys take care of Ranran first. I'm going to go find a boat."
Shen He said decisively.
In this situation, every second of delay means an extra second of danger.
But what boat was he looking for?
Apart from passenger ships, there were only fishing boats and a medium-sized ship belonging to the army on the island.
Fearing that Shen He would be criticized for using public property for personal gain, Su Ranran quickly grabbed his clothes and said, "If there is no one, let's go to the health center and don't occupy the army's boat."
Shen He did intend to use the troop ship. After all, it would take a long time to find a fishing boat, and most fishermen were superstitious and avoided matters of production.
"I know my limits, just wait patiently."
Shen He was so anxious that he almost lost his temper, but he still comforted her in a low voice.
It was as if he was afraid that a louder sound would scare her.
As for what she said about going to a sanitary facility to give birth, Shen He had never considered it at all.
The conditions at the clinic were poor, and the doctor could only give simple diagnoses. How could he be reassured if she was having twins or a premature baby?
After carefully removing her hand that was pulling at his clothes, Shen He stood up and prepared to make a phone call.
After a while, many people gathered around to watch.
"Is this military wife about to give birth?"
The experienced woman guessed when she saw her frowning face in pain.
"It looks like she's about to give birth. Why don't you hire a midwife at home?"
In the village, most women would hire an experienced midwife to deliver their babies. Who would go to the hospital to give birth? Isn't that a complete waste of money?
"I see her belly is so big, maybe she's pregnant with twins. I guess she wants to go to the hospital for safety, right?"
Everyone was guessing.
Shen He didn't care about the discussions. When he was about to walk out of the crowd, he suddenly heard someone say in surprise, "Isn't that Comrade Su Ranran?"
After hearing this, everyone could recognize the face that was half covered by the hat!
"It's Comrade Su Ranran!"
"Oh my! It turns out that Comrade Su Ranran is going to give birth today!"
…
Su Ranran is now a celebrity on the entire island.
There was no other way. They could eat vegetables every day thanks to her research on hydroponic water spinach.
I heard that she and the technicians from Hanshui Village also used sandy soil to grow rice, not to mention what else can be used to grow vegetables directly on sandy soil.
Each of these things is a great thing for the island residents.
"Comrade Soldier, don't bother looking for a boat. I'll call my man to take you. Our boat is nearby and will be here soon."
Suddenly, an old lady grabbed Shen He.
If there was a nearby fishing boat willing to take them there, that would be great. Shen He did not refuse, but said to the aunt with gratitude: "Thank you, auntie. Where is your home? I'll take you there."
Hearing that he wanted to give her the iron lump, the aunt waved her hands and pointed to a tiled house not far away and said, "My home is over there."
Seeing that they were indeed very close, Shen He left with his aunt.
The rest of the people started talking to each other about Su Ranran.
"Did you bring some brown sugar? Remember to cook her a brown sugar egg after she gives birth."
An enthusiastic lady asked.
Pan Shuifang had been on the island for a long time and knew how enthusiastic the islanders were about their wives.
Hearing these caring words at this time, although she was anxious in her heart, she still patiently responded one by one.
"I brought everything. I brought diapers and licorice root."
Ding Yuzhen had only been on the island for a few days, and she was somewhat surprised to see so many people caring about her daughter.
Su Ranran's attention was all on her belly and she didn't bother to talk to them.
Half an hour had passed since my water broke, and the pain in my stomach had started to become regular.
It’s the first time in two lives that I’m giving birth to children, and two at once. If I say I’m not afraid, I’m lying.
But at this point, no matter how scared you are, you have to rush to put the product on the shelves.
Fortunately, Shen He came back not long after.
Su Ranran saw a medium-sized fishing boat slowly approaching the pier.
"Thank you for your concern. We will get on board first."
As Pan Shuifang spoke, she went to pick up the bag that she had just placed on the ground.
But the onlookers were also very enthusiastic. They helped to get the things onto the fishing boat.
Shen He carefully picked up Su Ranran and went on board the boat with her.
"Yongqiang, drive the boat carefully and send Comrade Su Ranran to the hospital safely."
The aunt was still on the shore waving to her man.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure they're delivered safely."
Li Yongqiang patted his chest and assured.
Just kidding, the person sitting on his boat now is a very important person!
Later, when she grew a lot of rice on the island, it would be a great honor for me to tell others that I had given her a ride.
The fishing boat is not very big and is not used to carry passengers, so jeeps cannot be driven on board.
Therefore, apart from Li Yongqiang who drove the boat, there were only Su Ranran and three other people crossing the sea.
Li Yongqiang is a warm-hearted person and he talked non-stop along the way.
Su Ranran had a stomachache and only replied occasionally, while Shen He was only concerned with taking care of her the entire time and had no mood to talk at all.
Only Pan Shuifang, after her initial panic, had calmed down a lot, and was basically chatting with Li Yongqiang.
Fortunately, the weather was good today and it didn't rain. The boat sailed smoothly and soon arrived at the pier on the other side.
It was New Year's Eve, the shuttle buses were closed, and there were few people in the entire pier.
As soon as he put on his clothes, Li Yongqiang said to them, "I'll go find a car for you."
He said he would send the person to the hospital, and he did so without any perfunctory attitude.
Li Yongqiang was very familiar with the wharf here, and he found an ox cart for them in a short while.
At this point, it would be better to use a bullock cart than to walk directly to the hospital. The few people did not refuse, but thanked the two people profusely.
After all, it’s New Year’s Eve, and people still take the trouble to send them gifts.
When they arrived at the hospital, Pan Shuifang gave each of them a red envelope.
These red envelopes were given to her by Su Ranran before she left, and they were of different sizes.
Pan Shuifang was not a person who was unfamiliar with the ways of the world, so these things were no problem to her.
Shen He was no longer able to take care of much else and had already taken his wife to the hospital.
As soon as I entered, I heard a surprised voice.
"Comrade Shen He, Comrade Su Ranran, why are you coming to the hospital at this time?"
