Since Grandpa and Grandma came to live here, the whole family has been living a very comfortable life.
Grandma not only took care of Ning Xiaowei in the courtyard, but also helped take care of Wang Aifang. They were both her granddaughters-in-law, so she couldn't possibly favor one over the other.
Yu Li and Sun Zhenghong would often come over to help with chores and chat with each other.
Gradually, I even started eating lunch here, to avoid the hassle of going back.
Another month has passed in this comfortable and pleasant life.
Wang Aifang and Ning Xiaowei are both about to give birth, and even their second uncle and aunt from the countryside have come to stay temporarily in the courtyard so they can deal with any unexpected situations.
Sun Zhengguo has been somewhat absent-minded at work these past few days, constantly thinking about his wife's upcoming delivery.
Fortunately, the technicians have already mastered the modification technology, so he is no longer needed.
That morning, Ning Xiaowei, who lived in the courtyard, suddenly felt a dull pain in her stomach, so she quickly went to find her grandmother.
"Grandma, my stomach feels uncomfortable, it's aching slightly, am I about to give birth?!"
Upon hearing this, Grandma asked, "What do you mean, 'Is she about to give birth'?" She replied, "That means she's about to give birth."
So he quickly shouted, "Dahe, get the cart ready, Xiaowei is about to give birth!"
Hearing the shouts, Sun Dahe quickly pushed out the cart that had been prepared beforehand. Yu Li quickly helped spread out soft bedding and then helped her sister-in-law onto the cart.
Everything was ready, and just as everyone was about to leave, Auntie Er suddenly ran out of the house and shouted, "Wait, wait!"
"Mom and Dad, Dahe, Aifang is also complaining of stomach aches."
Well! Did these two plan this beforehand? They either don't act at all, or when they do, they all rush to the same spot.
"Yu Li, Zheng Hong, you two go in and help Ai Fang get into the car so we can take her to the hospital together."
At the old man's command, Yu Li and Sun Zhenghong rushed into the house and carefully helped Wang Aifang onto the cart. Only after they helped her onto the cart did Sun Dahe pull it up, and the whole family followed, heading to the hospital.
About ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the Sixth People's Hospital, completed the admission procedures, and after the doctor's examination, he simply gave a curt reply.
"It's still early! The pregnant woman is in good health, so everyone doesn't need to worry. Let's wait a little longer!"
After hearing the doctor's words, the family was relieved. Only then did the grandfather realize that he hadn't informed Lin Wencui and Sun Zhengguo yet.
"Dahe, call your sister-in-law and tell her that Xiaowei is about to give birth. As for Zhengguo? Let Wencui tell him herself. We don't know where he is."
"Okay, Dad."
Without hesitation, Sun Dahe immediately borrowed the hospital's phone number, called the steel rolling mill, found Lin Wencui, and briefly explained the situation.
When Lin Wencui received the call, she did not rush to the hospital immediately. Instead, she called Wang Guiying first to inform her of the situation.
Then she called the tractor factory again, because Sun Zhengguo had been modifying machine tools there during this period.
When the tractor factory liaison received the call and learned that Section Chief Sun's wife was about to give birth, he didn't dare to delay and immediately ran to the workshop.
Sun Zhengguo, who was in the workshop, was unaware that his wife had already gone to the hospital. He was still explaining some precautions for the modification.
The person following behind him to learn was his younger brother, Sun Zheng'an.
After more than two months of learning, Sun Zheng'an was already able to work independently, but Sun Zhengguo was still a little worried, which is why he gave him extra tutoring.
"Zheng'an, you've learned almost everything now. I'd like to entrust you with the task of renovating the tractor factory. I wonder if you have the confidence?"
"Don't worry, brother. I can't guarantee anything else, but I have 100% confidence in modifying these machine tools. Otherwise, I would be letting you down."
"I believe that. Although you have a weaker foundation than Zheng Wenhua and the others, as long as you are willing to learn, your brother will definitely help you."
"..."
"..."
The two brothers were talking when the liaison officer came running in from outside, panting.
"Section Chief Sun, your mother just called and said your wife is about to give birth and has been taken to the Sixth People's Hospital. She wants you to come over right away."
Upon hearing the liaison officer's words, both brothers showed expressions of excitement.
"Big brother, congratulations! You're going to be a dad soon!"
"Hehe! You should also work harder." After saying that, Sun Zhenguo thanked the liaison officer.
"Thank you, comrade, I'll go right away."
"Section Chief Sun, it's nothing, don't mention it."
After saying that, the liaison officer left the workshop. Sun Zhengguo gave a few more instructions and handed over the task of transforming the tractor factory to Sun Zheng'an.
After arranging everything, Sun Zhengguo went to the factory office, made another phone call to Chen Lianshan, and asked him to take charge of the overall situation temporarily before riding his bicycle to the hospital.
Speeding along, Sun Zhengguo pedaled his bicycle at a speed comparable to a motorcycle, finally arriving at the hospital 20 minutes later.
When I arrived at the hospital, I saw that my whole family was there, including my mother-in-law.
"Mom, how is Xiaowei?"
Sun Zhengguo didn't even bother to greet him before immediately inquiring about his wife.
"It's okay, there's still plenty of time! The doctor said everything is normal."
Hearing his mother say that, Sun Zhengguo was relieved. He quickly wiped the sweat from his face and then greeted his grandfather and the others.
Since it was a hospital, no one could make a loud noise, so they could only sit there and wait quietly.
Seeing his wife lying on the hospital bed, her brows furrowed and softly humming, Sun Zhengguo felt bad too and kept comforting her.
This situation continued until after 4 p.m., when Ning Xiaowei experienced severe pain and felt obvious uterine contractions, and even her voice became hoarse.
After another examination by the doctor, Ning Xiaowei was the first to be wheeled into the delivery room.
The whole family followed to the delivery room and prayed quietly at the door, but the occasional cries of pain coming from inside were heartbreaking.
Hearing his wife's painful groans, Sun Zhengguo paced back and forth outside like a headless fly, somewhat at a loss.
Inside the delivery room, the crucial moment had arrived, and the two midwives were encouraging each other.
"Push, push, good, keep this rhythm, the head is out..."
Ten minutes later, Ning Xiaowei used her last bit of strength to finally give birth to her child.
Upon seeing this, the two midwives divided the work: one was responsible for treating postpartum trauma, while the other skillfully lifted the baby's legs and patted its bottom twice.
"Wow...wow...!"
The newborn baby seemed very dissatisfied. Why did you hit me? So it started to cry loudly in protest.
Hearing the child cry, Ning Xiaowei struggled to open her eyes and asked weakly.
"Doctor, is it a boy or a girl?"
"Congratulations! It's a big, healthy baby boy, and he's not light either! He weighs 6 pounds 8 ounces."
The midwife finished weighing the baby and said cheerfully.
The two doctors were being so polite because Sun Zhengguo had just given them a red envelope.
Ning Xiaowei was quite happy to hear that it was a son, so she closed her eyes and began to rest.
Because in this era, having a son is the mainstream, and everyone is just an ordinary person, so no one can escape this custom.
