After everyone finished watching the game, some girls volunteered to stay and help clean up.
At this time, the phone in the living room rang, and Chen Xia's scalp went numb as a conditioned reflex.
As a doctor, the thing I fear most is the phone ringing in the middle of the night. It usually doesn't mean anything good, but that there must be some emergency that requires the doctor to go to the hospital for emergency support.
It would be even scarier if it was a family member calling in the middle of the night. It definitely wasn't a good thing, and it must be that a close relative had an accident or an acute illness.
Chen Xia swallowed and answered the phone nervously. Even Gu Lin looked at him worriedly.
"Hello, hello, who are you?"
"Xiao Xia, I'm your elder brother. Let me tell you, your sister-in-law gave birth to a baby girl. Haha..."
Chen Xia clicked the phone receiver onto the table. Gu Lin had noticed it a long time ago and rushed in, asking nervously:
"What's wrong? Is there something going on at the hospital?"
"Oh, oh, it's okay. It's Brother Chen from Jiangzhou calling. My sister-in-law gave birth to a baby girl..."
Chen Xia's mind was blank and his speech was a little incoherent.
"Okay, okay, big brother, I got it. I'll be there soon."
"Hey, Chen Xia, you don't have to come over. It's so late. I just want to tell you, hey..."
Chen Zhenwu, who was on the other end of the phone, tried to answer the call for a long time, but found that Chen Xia had already hung up. He was very touched and said, "This silly boy, haha."
How could Chen Xia not be excited? In his previous life, he was born in August, and now it was November. In his previous life, Yin Yue'e's third child was a boy, and this time it was a girl.
History has changed after all.
Is this baby who replaced Chen Xia in the human world a substitute for Chen Xia? Is it God's way of compensating Chen Zhenwu and his wife?
That was good, at least they no longer had to worry about their disappointing youngest son, nor did they have to act like a nanny, buying him a house and a car, or having to put out fights between him and his wife from time to time...
"Wife, please help me prepare some things. I'm going to Jiangzhou now. My sister-in-law has given birth, and I want to visit her."
"It's so late, can't we go tomorrow?"
"No, I want to go now!"
Gu Lin had never seen Chen Xia look so serious, even a little sad, so she didn't say anything.
If it were another woman, she would definitely get to the bottom of the matter, but it would be strange if Gu Lin could think so deeply.
This is also another important reason why Chen Xia married her. He has too many secrets, so many that smart people can easily see the flaws.
If he married a smart woman who was full of cunning schemes and schemes, Chen Xia might not be able to keep his secrets. And wives are not always the most trustworthy people.
Don’t believe it? Ask Xu Sanduo, ask Li Guoqing, ask the fake Nailiang.
When Chen Xia drove a small jeep overnight and appeared at the obstetrics and gynecology department of Jiangzhou People's Hospital, it was already 1 a.m.
Chen Xia climbed up to the third floor with heavy bags in his hands, wondering in his heart why there was no elevator in this day and age.
In fact, he was too greedy. As early as when he was in Hong Kong, he had secretly bought a lot of milk powder, which he had prepared for his future children. Gu Lin's cup size showed that she was not the kind of big cow with abundant milk production.
Moreover, milk powder was in short supply in China at that time. You had to have a ticket to buy milk powder at the supply and marketing cooperative, and you might not even be able to buy it. It was only available in big cities and not in small towns.
Even if there is, due to backward technology, pure milk is the main product in China, and the best infant formula is formula milk, which needs to be added with some other ingredients to be nutritionally comprehensive and rich to replace breast milk.
In the 1970s and 1980s, many families had children, but the mothers had no milk and could not buy milk powder. What should they do?
If you have the conditions, you can either find a wet nurse, give her some money, and drink from her breast milk every day.
But what about those who don’t have the means? At that time, they only had rice cereal, no cod liver oil, calcium, iron, zinc, etc., but the children were still lively and energetic.
Then, I don’t know what happened to the flowers in the greenhouse. They were all carefully raised, but they were all so delicate that they were malnourished.
The most tragic thing is that ordinary people can finally afford milk powder, but they end up giving you milk powder with three-headed deer in it, and everyone turns into a big-headed doll after drinking it.
So after Chen Xia arrived in Hong Kong, he instinctively wanted to stock up on milk powder. Unfortunately, Hong Kong was not yet diaper-poor in 1982, otherwise he would definitely not have missed it.
This time, Chen Xia carried two large boxes of imported milk powder from Japan, as well as ham, pheasant, eggs, and even a large box of bird's nest. He carried them from the car to the upstairs, and he was so tired that he rolled his eyes.
In the ward, besides Chen Zhenwu, there were two other women. Chen Xia recognized them at a glance. They were his two aunts in his previous life, the two elder sisters of Comrade Yin Yue'e. However, he was not in the mood to greet them at this time.
"Xiao Xia, you really came, look at you, come here." Chen Zhenwu was very surprised.
Chen Xia looked at his "old mother from his previous life" sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, and then saw the baby in the small bed next to him. His palms were sweating, "Brother, can I see the baby?"
Yin Yuejuan took the initiative to give up her seat beside the bed, looking at the young man in front of her with a bit of surprise, wondering when did her brother-in-law's family have such a relative? But she was still very polite:
"Come on, little girl just drank her milk and fell asleep."
Chen Xia carefully opened the baby's bundle, revealing a wrinkled little head. Perhaps it was telepathy, but the baby suddenly opened his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was very happy.
This immediately melted Chen Xia's heart.
He didn't dare to hug her, so he just kept teasing her. This was their first meeting.
Later, Chen Xia always liked this "little niece" very much. When this little baby grew up, she became a core executive of his company.
Chen Zhenwu was used to seeing Chen Xia bringing so many bags of things, so he didn't hesitate and asked his two sisters-in-law to help pack up the things.
Yin Yuejuan and Yin Yuezhen thought that since they were visiting a woman who had just given birth, there wouldn't be many good things. However, when Chen Xia took out each item from the box one by one, they were completely stunned.
Milk powder? Imported from Japan? Two large cartons of 16 large barrels?
What is this? Vermicelli? No, it says bird's nest on the box. Bird's nest? This ancient luxury supplement, only consumed by the royal family, three whole boxes?
And ham? Two top-grade Jinhua hams, plus countless eggs, canned food, malted milk, even pheasant meat and wild boar tripe.
This made Chen Xia's aunt from her previous life could only be described as shocked.
Although they are sisters, they both have a competitive mentality. Now that they see that their younger sister actually has such a rich relative, they feel a little envious and jealous.
Only Chen Zhenwu smiled without saying anything.
