Three months before Lu Xiaoqiao gave birth, Zhou Qizhen started making comprehensive preparations.
The nanny is selected after several rounds of interviews and careful considerations. The confinement nanny is a gold medal nanny who is proficient in everything from confinement meals to postpartum care. She also arranges home care with medical knowledge.
On the day Lu Xiaoqiao gave birth, she was in the third trimester of pregnancy and her family would not let her go out, so she could only video call Zhao Zhizhi to discuss the location of the studio.
As soon as she hung up the phone and wanted to get up, she suddenly felt pain in her stomach. At first, Lu Xiaoqiao thought it was caused by fetal movement, but as the pain became more and more obvious, she realized that she was about to give birth!
Zhou Qi was in a meeting when he saw Secretary Ding running in in a panic with a cell phone in hand.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou! Your family is calling, asking you to go to the hospital immediately. Your wife is about to give birth!"
After hearing this, Zhou Qizhen ran out of the meeting room in a hurry without even saying hello to anyone.
When he arrived at the hospital, Lu Xiaoqiao had already been pushed into the delivery room. Lu's mother and Zhao Yaqin, who had been brought in a few days ago, now had expressions of worry and anxiety on their faces. They wished their ears could grow into that door so that they could hear what was going on inside.
Zhou's father and Lu's father were pacing back and forth anxiously outside.
Zhou Qizhen, who was usually experienced in the business world and in control of the overall situation, was confused at this moment. Panic was surging in his eyes, but he could only stare at the motionless door.
It was not until two long hours had passed that the door of the delivery room was slowly opened and the midwife came out holding a baby wrapped in a blanket.
There were other family members outside the delivery room. When they saw this scene, they stretched their necks, hoping that their little babies would come out!
"Lu Xiaoqiao's family!"
When the people heard Lu Xiaoqiao's name, they all surrounded her instantly.
Zhou Qizheng quickly said, "I am Lu Xiaoqiao's husband."
The midwife had long known how extraordinary Lu Xiaoqiao was. To have two experienced directors personally deliver her baby was not something that could be done simply by having money.
"A boy, 15 pounds and 20 ounces."
When Zhou's father heard that it was a boy, his eyes instantly turned red with excitement. He hugged Lu's father and said in a trembling voice: "Old Lu, I have a grandson! Did you hear that? I'm a grandfather now!"
Father Lu patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know, I know! Old Zhou, don't get excited. Hey! Why are you still crying? Don't cry! Your grandson will laugh at you if he finds out!"
Father Zhou covered his face and said a little embarrassedly: "I, I was just too excited! Thanks to your Xiao Qiao, otherwise, I would never be a grandfather in this life!"
Zhou Qizheng asked hurriedly: "How is my wife? When can she come out?"
The midwife was very impressed with the family members who cared about the adults first: "We need to observe for another one to two hours. Don't worry, everything is normal."
Zhou Qizheng nodded to express his gratitude: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. This is what we should do. Come, daddy, take the baby over!"
"good."
Zhou Qizhen stretched out his hand and awkwardly took the baby. The moment he held him, he felt that he was so small, just like holding a warm and soft cloud, so soft that it seemed to have no weight at all.
When he saw the baby's pink face, his heart melted! This was his and Qiaoqiao's baby.
Father Zhou looked at Zhou Qi holding the baby and was eager to try: "Can you hold the baby? Otherwise, let me hold it!"
Zhou Qizhen dodged for a moment: "I know how to do it. I learned it when I accompanied Qiao Qiao to class."
Father Zhou still wanted to fight for it: "Then tell me if you are tired of holding the baby, and I will hold the baby for you."
Zhou Qizhen just hummed.
Zhou Qizheng held the baby for a while and then handed it to Lu's mother: "Mom, take the baby back to the room first. I'll wait for Qiaoqiao here."
Father Zhou quickly replied, "Why don't I hold the baby? My mother-in-law has been standing here for quite a while and must be very tired."
Mother Lu took the baby and looked at it with a smile in her eyes: "It's okay, I'm not tired."
Father Zhou: “…”
"Mother-in-law, tell me when you are tired."
Without even raising her head, Lu said, "Okay."
…
Lu Xiaoqiao fell asleep as soon as she returned to the ward from the delivery room!
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Zhou Qi sitting on the bed in the dim light and shadow, his body tense, his eyes staring at her intently, worry and concern in his eyes seemingly overflowing.
Seeing that she woke up, his tense expression relaxed a little: "Qiao Qiao! Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head. Zhou Qi was quickly raising the bed a little and feeding her some water.
"Drink slowly, be careful not to choke."
Lu Xiaoqiao drank some water and glanced around the ward, looking a little anxious: "Where's the baby?"
Zhou Qi was putting down his cup of water and hurriedly comforted her, "I'm in the outer room. I'm afraid I'll disturb your sleep. Are you hungry? Eat something first."
"I want to look at the baby before I eat."
Zhou Qizheng said lovingly, "Okay, I'll let mom bring the baby in."
Mother Lu put the baby into Lu Xiaoqiao's arms. Her palms touched the baby's warm and tender body, which was so soft that her heart felt soft and swollen.
"Mom, he's so small."
Mother Lu smiled and said, "More than 15 pounds! Not small anymore! When you were born, you weighed only 15 pounds. I was changing his diaper just now, and his legs were kicking vigorously. Look at those legs. He will be tall in the future, just like his father."
Zhou Qi was bending over with his hands on the edge of the bed, looking tenderly at his son in Xiao Qiao's arms. The little boy had his eyes tightly closed, his thick eyelashes were like a small fan, his little mouth was moving, and a slight "babbing" sound seemed to be there and not there.
"Are you hungry?"
The nanny next to her reached out to take the baby: "It's time to feed! Madam! Let me hold the baby!"
Lu Xiaoqiao handed the child to her reluctantly.
She had already agreed with Zhou Qizheng that the baby would be fed a mixture of breast milk and formula. Once her own studio officially started, it would be unrealistic to practice exclusive breastfeeding. Fortunately, Zhou Qizheng supported her in this regard.
The baby is very well behaved. He goes to sleep right after eating, without crying or making any noise.
Father Zhou tiptoed to the crib, put his hands behind his back, hunched over slightly, and never took his eyes off his grandson. His eyes were full of affection for the little guy and never left him from beginning to end.
In the hospital, apart from the nanny, only Zhou Qizhen was left to accompany the child at night. Zhao Yaqin called Zhou's father several times, and he lingered for a long time before slowly walking out of the ward.
After everyone left, the baby woke up again. The nanny tidied the baby and gave him to Zhou Qizhen to hold.
Lu Xiaoqiao looked at his cautious and careful appearance and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Zhou Qizheng looked up at her and asked her what she was laughing at, but in that brief moment of distraction, the little girl moved in his arms.
He was so panicked that he stopped all his movements and even breathed lightly, for fear of disturbing the little one in his arms.
