Yu Songyan and Qi Yan (son born) October 7th...
At 6:30 a.m. on October 7, Qi Yan was wheeled into the delivery room, where Yu Songyan waited anxiously outside.
The delivery room was quiet, and there was no sound of Qi Yan crying out in pain. Yu Songyan listened intently, and the quieter it was, the more anxious he became. He couldn't help but call out, "Ayan, Yan Yan, why are you so quiet? Yan Yan."
No childbirth is painless, and Qi Yan was in a lot of pain too, her forehead covered in sweat, but she could endure it.
Even if it hurts terribly, she won't scream.
Following Director Chen's lead, she just wanted to give birth to the baby as soon as possible.
Hearing Yu Songyan calling from outside, his voice cracking, she couldn't help but laugh: "I'm here."
Hearing the sound, Yu Songyan finally felt relieved and peered through the crack in the door: "Yanyan, if it hurts, just shout. I'll be right here."
Lying on the delivery bed, Qi Yan had just finished a round of contractions. She still had the mind to joke with Yu Songyan: "What are you afraid of when I give birth?" She then comforted him: "Don't be afraid."
Yu Songyan: "As long as you're okay, I'm not afraid. Ayan, you have to be okay."
Finally, Director Chen complained that Yu Songyan was delaying Qi Yan's life too much, and told Yu Songyan to shut up and not delay Qi Yan's childbirth.
Yu Songyan dared not speak again, "I won't say anything more, I won't say anything more."
Yu Songyan, who was waiting outside, was very uneasy. Last month, a worker at the food factory died from postpartum hemorrhage. He realized that childbirth could be fatal.
About ten minutes later, Yu Songyan said again, "Yanyan, answer me."
Qi Yan: "Mm."
Then, every five or ten minutes, Yu Songyan would call out to Qi Yan.
Cheng Xiuying also gradually became uneasy. She had given birth to all five of her children very quickly, so why hadn't Qi Yan finished giving birth yet? She hoped that both mother and child would be safe and sound. Seeing Yu Songyan crowding at the door, asking questions every now and then, she was getting annoyed: "Can you be quiet? You're disturbing Ayan. Ayan's baby is in a good position and she's in good health, so the baby will be born soon."
Yu Songyan wouldn't listen to Cheng Xiuying at all.
About an hour later, I finally heard the sound of a child crying loudly.
Yu Songyan quickly asked, "Ayan, Ayan, how are you?"
Qi Yan: "...I'm alive."
Yu Songyan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, that's wonderful."
At 8:00 AM, Qi Yan safely gave birth to a son at the steel mill hospital. The baby weighed 3400 grams and was 56 centimeters tall.
His full name is Yu Huaichuan, and his nickname is Lele.
The baby cried loudly as soon as he was born, was healthy, and had an enormous lung capacity.
The head nurse came out carrying the child and was about to hand the child over to Yu Songyan, but Yu Songyan didn't care about the child at all and rushed in, calling out, "Ayan, Ayan."
Qi Yan remained calm, while Yu Songyan panicked. When he saw Qi Yan lying weakly on the hospital bed, all he felt was heartache. He had never seen Qi Yan like this before.
He held Qi Yan's hand, lowered his head to touch Qi Yan's face, and called her name.
He made his love for Qi Yan plainly and clearly, letting Qi Yan know it.
"Ayan, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."
Qi Yan wasn't a sentimental person, but she was still moved by Yu Songyan at this moment. She reached out and hugged Yu Songyan, saying, "Don't cry."
Director Chen wasn't oblivious to the situation, so of course she wouldn't urge Director Qi and his wife at this time. She thought to herself, no wonder Director Qi married Yu Songyan. Such men are so rare—handsome, capable at work, and with his wife on his mind.
My son was born, but I didn't even glance at him; my mind was entirely on my wife.
Director Chen was perceptive, and so were Cheng Xiuying and the others. Knowing that Qi Yanping was safe and sound, they didn't go any closer.
Cheng Xiuying thought Yu Songyan was amazing. No matter what, he always put Qi Yan in the most important position. No wonder Qi Yan liked him. She guessed that after giving birth, Qi Yan would like Yu Songyan even more, and might even give him a watch.
Qi Yan had just given birth and needed to be observed for two hours. Yu Songyan stayed by her side the whole time, his eyes never leaving her, afraid that something might go wrong.
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, little Lele was held by Cheng Xiuying. The newborn baby was full of curiosity about the outside world, his dark eyes looking around, and he kept blinking as if the light was too strong.
Little Lele is very pretty, inheriting all the good features her parents have: thick, black hair, fair skin, big, bright eyes, long, thick eyelashes, a small, pert nose, and pink lips. She's so adorable.
Cheng Xiuying teased the child, "Little Lele, I'm your grandma."
Yu Jiajia leaned closer to look: "Little Lele, you're so beautiful! Is it really a baby boy?"
Cheng Xiuying was also very suspicious. The child looked delicate, like a pretty baby girl. She lifted the swaddling clothes and took a peek, and it was indeed a baby boy.
Yu Jiajia touched Xiao Lele's little hand: "Xiao Lele, I'm your aunt."
Yu Jiamin: "Little Lele, I'm your aunt."
There are only two aunts, one older aunt and one younger aunt, which is just right.
Yu Jiamin also touched the little hand: "So cute."
She's even starting to wish she had a child as cute as that.
Cheng Xiuying casually remarked, "If it's cute, we'll have one for fun."
Yu Jiamin doesn't want to play her own game for the time being; she wants to play someone else's.
Yu Hongding also came over to look; he had become a grandfather, which was quite amazing.
Old Man Yu and Old Woman Yu also craned their necks to look. Old Woman Yu looked at Little Lele with great fondness, praising her for being smart and beautiful. She couldn't stop smiling and said, "I'm a lady now!"
She's actually been a wife for a long time, but now she's so biased that she's almost forgotten about her eldest son's family.
Old Man Yu also said that Little Lele is good-looking.
Cheng Xiuying told Yu Hongding to go home and bring over the stewed chicken soup at the right time. Once Qi Yan's observation period was over, he could drink the chicken soup to nourish his body.
Grandma Yu arrived at the hospital a little later; she had already started simmering the chicken soup before coming.
Yu Hongding quickly went back.
Little Lele was very curious about the outside world. After his curiosity was over, he immediately started to cry with a pout.
Cheng Xiuying asked Yu Jiamin to make formula for the baby.
The baby bottles and formula are all in the bag. The bottles have been washed and then scalded with hot water. The formula is mixed with warm water. Since Lele is a newborn, one spoonful of formula is enough.
Yu Jiamin quickly prepared the formula.
Qi Yan is still under observation, so please don't breastfeed her baby yet. Besides, the baby was just born and may not have started producing milk yet.
Grandma Yu watched Xiao Lele cry and praised, "Such a loud voice, and such a powerful cry!"
Qi Yan heard the child crying and turned to look outside. "Is Lele crying?"
Yu Songyan: "Mom is outside, don't worry."
Qi Yan: "Aren't you worried about your son? Didn't you even glance at him?"
Yu Songyan held Qi Yan's hand, "I want to look at you."
Qi Yan: "I risked my life to give birth to this son, and you won't even look at him?"
Yu Songyan: "I'll go see, I'll go see right now."
He really wanted to see his son.
But he clearly distinguishes between his son and his son's mother.
When Cheng Xiuying saw Yu Songyan come out, she handed Xiao Lele to him so he could hold her. She definitely couldn't help take care of the child; only the child's parents could take care of him, so she had to find someone to help.
Little Lele was so small and soft, it seemed like she would break if you held her. Yu Songyan was forced to take the child, and he froze, not daring to move.
Little Lele felt uncomfortable being held and cried even harder.
Yu Songyan panicked: "He's crying even harder, is he feeling unwell?"
The head nurse guided Yu Songyan on how to hold the baby, prepared the formula, and taught him how to feed the baby. After feeding, she also taught him how to burp the baby.
The child is so small, but holding him is more tiring than holding a bag of rice.
The child stopped crying after eating and drinking his fill, and looked around with wide eyes.
Yu Songyan's heart softened. This was his child. He said, "Lele, I'm your father." He then carried little Lele back to the delivery room and held him up to show Qi Yan: "This is your mother. We, father and son, will protect her together."
Qi Yan watched as her handsome husband held her beautiful son and said they would protect her together, and she couldn't help but smile, "Okay, you two protect me."
Yu Songyan placed his child with his wife, and by staying by their side, his life seemed to be complete.
Two hours passed quickly, and Yu Songyan had his first child. He held the baby, fed the baby, changed the baby's diaper, wiped the baby's bottom, looked at his wife, and looked at the baby.
Qi Yan passed the two-hour observation period safely and was transferred to a regular ward.
Yu Songyan opened the lunchbox. The nourishing chicken soup had been simmering for a long time. The soup was very thick and the chicken meat was very tender. Yu Songyan was going to feed Qi Yan the chicken soup.
Qi Yan: "...I'll drink it myself."
Yu Songyan had no choice but to let Qi Yan drink the chicken soup herself. He lifted Qi Yan up, put a pillow behind her back, and served her the chicken soup, letting her hold the spoon and drink the soup herself.
Qi Yan wasn't actually hungry, but the soup was so delicious that she unknowingly finished the chicken soup, ate two large chicken drumsticks, and a lot of chicken meat. Her whole body felt warm and comfortable.
It's obvious that this chicken soup must have been made by Jiajia.
It's incredibly nourishing.
Qi Yan, having eaten and drunk his fill, just wanted to lie down and sleep for a while.
Little Lele was hungry before she was fully asleep and started crying loudly.
This child is quiet when he doesn't cry, but when he does cry, he wants the whole floor to hear him.
Yu Songyan: "Why is he crying?"
Cheng Xiuying: "Feel if you've peed or pooped. If you haven't peed or pooped, then you're hungry."
Little Lele hasn't pooped or peed, and is hungry again.
This time, Xiao Lele didn't drink formula, but breastfed. The head nurse taught Qi Yan how to breastfeed the baby while lying down.
Cheng Xiuying went out first, it was just time for lunch. Before leaving, she instructed Yu Songyan: "Take good care of Ayan and the child. Don't leave them alone in the ward, and don't let the child out of your sight."
When Yu Songyan saw Qi Yan breastfeeding the child, he also looked away.
He's been a vegetarian for too long, he can't bear to look at these things.
...
Yu Songyan learned very quickly and soon mastered holding the baby, burping the baby, changing diapers, washing diapers, and soothing the baby to sleep. Then he accompanied the mother, feeding her water and helping her to the toilet…
She would also watch the baby strain with the mother, and the head nurse said the baby was gathering strength to poop.
New parents find it amazing that their babies are so cute, even when they're straining to poop. But the cuteness only lasts a moment, because it really smells terrible.
The whole room smelled terrible.
The head nurse said it was meconium, which was indeed quite smelly, but it would stop smelling bad after a few more bowel movements.
Yu Songyan can now wash diapers for his child without batting an eye, but he really can't bring himself to do it with diapers that have a strong smell, so he has to throw them away.
Let's talk about it when it doesn't smell anymore.
Diapers can be thrown away, but a baby's bottom can't; it needs to be washed.
Yu Songyan gritted his teeth and used a clean cotton cloth to wash and dry the child, rubbing as he washed.
The head nurse burst into laughter, praising Yu Songyan for doing a good job, saying, "You'll get used to it."
Qi Yan couldn't help but want to have sex, but it would be a bit much for her to want to have sex even though she was so far away, so she had to endure it.
Yu Songyan didn't want to get used to it, feeling that his own son wasn't as close to him anymore, and his pretty child wasn't as pretty anymore.
I suddenly realized that I had sacrificed too much just to wear a watch.
Qi Yan's mother, Zhou Yunzhi, and her younger brother, Qi Ming, arrived in Qingshan County that evening, where they were met by Cheng Xiuying and Yu Hongding at the train station platform.
Now Qingshan County also has a train station, with direct trains to Beijing and Haicheng, making travel very convenient.
Zhou Yunzhi and Qi Ming brought a lot of things, put them in the car, and headed straight for the steel mill hospital.
When the two arrived, Qi Yan and Yu Songyan were having dinner: steamed black carp, stir-fried chicken and mushrooms, garlic-flavored chrysanthemum greens, and a pot of "Five Red Waters".
At this moment, Xiao Lele started crying again. Yu Songyan didn't even need to look to know that she had diarrhea.
It stinks! You can smell it from way over there.
Yu Songyan ate the steamed buns and vegetables in his hands in two bites, and urged Qi Yan to continue eating, especially the blackfish and the five-red soup, and to eat and drink more! He took Xiao Lele outside and changed her diaper on a chair outside. He had to go outside, because Qi Yan was still eating. If he changed her diaper inside, Qi Yan would have no appetite.
Qi Yan just gave birth, so she needs to eat more to replenish her body.
Yu Songyan tried to breathe as fast as possible, but he still couldn't help but groan. Fortunately, this was the second time, so he had a little more experience.
After changing the diaper, I rolled up the dirty cloth and threw it in the trash can.
Next comes wiping the bottom.
When Cheng Xiuying arrived with Zhou Yunzhi and Qi Ming, she saw Yu Songyan bending over, wiping the child's bottom, putting on a diaper, and wrapping the child in a blanket.
Cheng Xiuying asked the question that everyone was wondering: "Why did you bring Lele out?"
Yu Songyan was about to speak when she hesitated, "Yanyan is eating, and Lele pooped, it smells awful." She couldn't help but complain, "How can a child poop so smelly?" Then she ran over with the clean little one in her arms, showing off her baby to them, "Mom, Mingming, look, this is Lele, he looks just like Yanyan!"
Seeing how much her son-in-law cared for her daughter, Zhou Yun felt comforted. Looking down at the child, she couldn't help but reach out and take the child in her arms. "When Ayan was first born, he was just like this."
Cheng Xiuying thought the child resembled Yu Songyan, but she certainly wouldn't disagree with Zhou Yunzhi, as she was still hoping Zhou Yunzhi would help the young couple take care of the child.
Zhou Yunzhi carried the child inside to see Qi Yan.
Qi Ming also went over to take a look and reached out to touch the child. He couldn't see any resemblance to his sister, but the child was really good-looking.
Hearing the commotion outside, Qi Yan got up and went to the door. "Mom, Mingming."
Zhou Yunzhi quickly said, "Ayan, lie down quickly."
Yu Songyan stepped forward and helped Qi Yan back to bed.
Qi Yan: "I'm fine."
But it didn't matter that she said she was fine, as she spent all her time lying in bed except when she went to the toilet.
Zhou Yunzhi looked at her daughter carefully. She had gained some weight, and her little face was rosy and glowing. She was clearly well-nourished. She was completely relieved. She only regretted that she had come too late. She should have come earlier so that she could have been with Qi Yan when she gave birth.
Zhou Yunzhi liked Yu Songyan as her son-in-law and the Yu family, but her daughter was so far away from home that she could only see her twice a year. She was still worried and afraid that her daughter would be wronged. Even though she knew that her daughter was not capable of being wronged, she was still worried.
After arriving, I felt relieved. The Yu family is a good family, and Yu Songyan is the best son-in-law among the best.
When a daughter gives birth, she doesn't have to do anything except breastfeed; her son-in-law practically feeds her.
She couldn't find another son-in-law as good as him.
My daughter has fallen into a lucky nest.
The next day at noon, Qi Yan took the child home from the hospital. After arriving home, she took out a new watch from the drawer and gave it to Yu Songyan.
Yu Songyan didn't know when Qi Yan had prepared it, but he felt that his recent dark circles and weight loss hadn't been in vain, and all the hard work had been worth it.
Of course, he couldn't just quit without a watch.
He married a wealthy woman, and he had a troublesome son.
All I can say is that I will never have any more children.
You don't need many sons, one is enough.
He didn't want to suffer again; it would be foolish to make himself suffer for the sake of his child.
Seeing her second brother looking so haggard, Yu Jiajia couldn't help but get him some nourishing medicinal wine to help him recover. Her second brother couldn't afford to fall ill; if he did, who would take care of Xiao Lele?
The baby is super cute, the sleeping baby is incredibly cute, and the smiling baby is incredibly adorable. However, the baby is noisy when crying, the poop is smelly, and the diaper washing is a nightmare.
Everyone loves to hug and cuddle the sweet and soft baby, so let Yu Songyan do the hard work.
Yu Jiamin often took He Yuanzheng back to her parents' home so that he could learn how to be a good father. He Yuanzheng watched very carefully and learned very diligently. He learned how to hold a baby, and he could even wash Lele's bottom and change diapers without feeling disgusted. He really loved children.
He Yuanzheng also found a book on how to take care of new mothers and babies, and studied it with Yu Songyan.
He has clearly become a qualified stay-at-home dad.
Lu Chenzhou was a bit different. Like Yu Jiajia, he really liked the baby who was laughing and playing, but he didn't want to touch the baby who was pooping at all, and politely stayed away.
Yu Songyan: "What will happen to your children in the future?"
Lu Chenzhou thought about it carefully and concluded that Jiajia's daughter must be a fragrant baby, because even her poop smells good.
He said, "My daughter is different; her poop smells good."
Yu Songyan: "...Shameless! Just wait and see if you can have a son."
Lu Chenzhou retorted: "Daughter! You want a soft little daughter too."
Cheng Xiuying rolled her eyes as well, then turned to Yu Jiamin and said, "Go ahead and have the baby. You take care of it, and let Yuanzheng raise it."
Yu Jiamin whispered, "Then Yuanzheng should stay at home."
He Yuanzheng is a soldier; he's lucky if he can stay home for two months a year.
Seeing how diligently He Yuanzheng was studying, she thought having another child would be a good idea. Even if He Yuanzheng wasn't home, she could manage everything herself.
Yu Songyan genuinely admired He Yuanzheng; he had no choice but to do it. He Yuanzheng genuinely loved doing it, though he might also be faking it.
If a person can pretend for a lifetime, then it doesn't matter whether they pretend or not.
He didn't actually know how much he loved Qi Yan. The moment he saw her, he wanted to marry her and spend his life with her. The exact extent of his love wasn't important; he knew that for the rest of his life, Qi Yan would always be the most important person in his life, along with Jiajia.
Next, I am the most important person, and then my son.
