Gu Shuhe quickly explained their confusion, "I heard from my aunt before that giving birth to a first child is a slow process. From the pain to the birth, it takes at least a day and a night."
When Aunt Shen was free, she would often come to visit them. When they sat together, they would inevitably talk about having children.
When talking about childbirth, one naturally has to use one's own experience and other people's experience to talk about what the process of childbirth is like. Gu Shuhe was listening beside him!
and……
"My second sister and her friends also said that when they were giving birth, they felt pain at night and didn't give birth until the evening of the next day!"
Therefore, Gu Shuhe remained calm and said, "I definitely won't give birth right away, so there's no need to rush."
She was very calm, but Chen Ying and the others were not calm at all.
Chen Ying and Shen Tingci got up immediately, and they each went to pack the things they needed and prepared to go to the hospital.
Gu Shuhe held the egg in his hand and said, "It's really okay, it just hurts a little bit."
"It must be very painful before giving birth." As she said this, she cracked the egg with the edge of the table and prepared to eat it.
Chen Ying walked to the door and couldn't help but say, "Silly child, everyone is different. Some give birth quickly, some give birth slowly. How can we talk about experience?"
Gu Shuhe looked at the half-peeled egg in his hand and asked, "So are we going to the hospital now?"
As she spoke, she was about to put the egg down.
Shen Pengfei said to her, "Eat your food. Wait until Xiao Ci and his mother have prepared everything before you go out. There's no rush."
Shen Tingzhi also said, “Yes, sister-in-law, I will eat with you, don’t worry.”
"Then let Mom and Tingci finish breakfast before cleaning up. I really..." My stomach ached again. Gu Shuhe said, "...well, it's okay. I don't think I'll be able to give birth for a while."
Shen Tingzhi said, "Why are you worried about Mom and Big Brother? They don't have any children, so what's wrong with skipping a meal?"
Shen Pengfei: “…”
What a daughter is a warm and caring little cotton-padded jacket, but it's leaky.
“Tingzhi is right, you eat first!” After saying that, Shen Pengfei also stood up and said, “I’ll go and take a look too!”
"Tingzhi, you take care of your sister-in-law." As a father-in-law, he really couldn't continue the conversation with his daughter-in-law about the issue of having children, so he simply went to help prepare things.
Shen Tingzhi nodded without raising her head, "Yeah, I understand."
Shen Tingyu picked up the bowl and drank the porridge in a few mouthfuls. "I'll go and take a look too!"
Everything was quickly packed up and put in the car. Chen Ying said, "I'll go to the hospital with them. Tingyu..."
Shen Pengfei said, "Let Tingzhi go with you and help you run errands."
"If anything happens, let her go to the county committee and tell it. Tingyu and I will go there later."
"Yeah, that's fine."
As soon as Gu Shuhe put down his chopsticks, he was supported by Shen Tingci and Chen Ying on his left and right and sent to the car.
Gu Shuhe felt that he could walk independently, but seeing how nervous everyone was, he thought that instead of saying those words, he should speed up and get in the car!
I got in the car, surrounded by my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and drove straight to the hospital.
As the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, she has a separate ward and experienced hospitals come to check on her from time to time.
Just like Gu Shuhe said, the baby cannot be born in a short time, we need to wait.
After the examination, Gu Shuhe said to Shen Tingci and Chen Ying, "You guys go have dinner. I'm in the hospital now, don't worry."
Shen Tingzhi also said, “I’ll look after my sister-in-law, you guys go!”
Shen Tingci looked at Gu Shuhe lying on the hospital bed and said to Chen Ying, "Mom, go buy some."
"Okay, then you stay here with me."
The morning passed quickly, and at noon we had a packed meal at a state-owned restaurant.
After lunch, Gu Shuhe finally experienced the pain of childbirth.
The occasional contractions in the morning were really just an appetizer.
Even though her face was pale with pain, Gu Shuhe could still seriously ask, "Does childbirth hurt this much for everyone?"
Chen Ying couldn't help but call her stupid again, "You silly child, of course giving birth is like this."
"This is still considered good. If something bad happens..." Chen Ying stopped talking and said, "Pah, pah, pah!!!"
"As the saying goes, giving birth is like taking one foot into the gates of hell!"
When Gu Shuhe was in labor again, she couldn't help but ask, "Does our family have any requirements for having children?"
"Huh?" Chen Ying didn't understand.
Shen Tingci held her hand and told her gently, "No requirements, after giving birth to this one, I don't want any more."
Chen Ying couldn't help but poke him on the back, obviously disagreeing with what he said.
Chen Ying still has old ideas and thinks she should have a boy.
She also believes that having many children means more blessings.
I don't agree with having only one child.
What's more, if Gu Shuhe had a girl this time, wouldn't she have no descendants if she only had one?
Gu Shuhe gasped in pain, but still asked, "Really?"
"Is it enough to have only one daughter?" Gu Shuhe thought it was impossible.
Because there is no family around that has only one daughter.
If she gave birth to a daughter, she would definitely have another one, just like her mother did, and would not stop until she gave birth to a son.
Because everyone is like this.
She also acquiesced to this. In fact, she has been following the crowd since she was a child.
She followed the crowd, but at this time, she still couldn't help asking.
After asking this question, she unconsciously grasped Shen Tingci's hand.
In fact, she doesn't know what love is.
She just got married when it was time to get married, and after marriage she and Shen Tingci lived in mutual respect.
She tried hard to live the life that a good couple should live with Chen Tingci, without quarrels or arguments, living a simple life.
She has no opinions or requests on many things and matters because she thinks they are not important.
Because in the environment she grew up in, women didn't have many requirements for married life.
They all made sacrifices in their marriages.
Gu Shuhe also conceded that she should be that kind of role, so her marriage with Shen Tingci was harmonious.
Like before, she might not insist on the answer of "only one daughter", but now she hopes Shen Tingci will say "yes, it's okay to only have one daughter."
Even if it was just to lie to her.
Because it really hurts.
Fortunately, Shen Tingci did not let her down. Shen Tingci held her hand tightly with one hand and gently stroked her wrinkled face with the other hand. His expression was very gentle and his eyes were very firm. "Well, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, one is enough."
Gu Shuhe suddenly felt that her stomach wasn't as painful anymore.
She could hold on again.
In the evening, Shen Pengfei and Shen Tingyu also came to the hospital.
The hospital director came over immediately. He had visited once before, but for a hospital that currently does not perform caesarean sections, giving birth means one can only wait.
Shen Pengfei came over, and the dean came over again, and could only tell Shen Pengfei, "We have arranged for the last doctor in the obstetrics department of the hospital to be waiting, and we will definitely not let anything go wrong."
Shen Pengfei nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
The other party quickly shook his head.
The other party wanted to exchange pleasantries, but Shen Pengfei said, “Go ahead and get busy. I just came to see you. Don’t delay your work.”
