Just as I coaxed the child back to health, another pregnant woman was admitted to the ward. The last ward in the ward was full.
The pregnant woman was about 30 years old, wearing a Lenin suit, leather shoes, and her hair was combed meticulously. She had a smile on her face and behaved gracefully.
Following behind her was a little girl, about 16 years old, dressed simply, with two braids and carrying a bundle.
As soon as the pregnant woman entered the ward, she walked to the old woman's bedside and began to greet her enthusiastically.
"Wow, the child is so beautiful, he looks like a blessed one. Is it a boy or a girl?"
The pregnant woman gave the girl behind her a look, and the girl took out White Rabbit milk candies from her bag and started distributing them to the old woman and her family, giving each person a small handful.
"This is what our wife prepared before we came to the hospital. It's fate that we're all sharing the same ward. Come on, grab some White Rabbit candy and sweeten your mouth. We're new here, so please take good care of us."
The old woman took the White Rabbit candy, quickly peeled one, and put it in her mouth. Her eyes narrowed as she ate the White Rabbit candy.
She took the initiative to pick up her eldest grandson, handed him to the pregnant woman and began to introduce him: "This is my eldest grandson, white and chubby, I think he looks good. He is very well behaved, he only cries when he is hungry or wet, otherwise he is very well behaved and not a bother to anyone."
After the old woman finished speaking, she opened her eldest grandson's diaper and showed it to the pregnant woman.
The pregnant woman's eyes lit up, and she asked sincerely: "Sister, your grandson is so handsome, can I hold him? Your grandson is a blessing, I hope I can also give birth to a son."
"Of course, you look very lucky. You are not from here, right? Look at your outfit, it looks really nice. You dress like a leader."
The old woman took the initiative to hand her eldest grandson to the pregnant woman. The pregnant woman held the child and looked at him carefully. The child stopped crying and became even happier.
The pregnant woman hugged the child and kissed him. When the old woman was about to stop her, the girl quickly handed her the White Rabbit milk candy.
The old woman said happily: "You can hold him as long as you want. My eldest grandson is very well behaved and won't cry."
"Thank you, sister. I'm not from this place. My family is from Beijing. My husband's last name is Wang, so you can just call me Mrs. Wang.
My husband and I came to your commune to inspect the work. But my husband is too busy and didn't have time to accompany me when I gave birth, so I can only bring my nanny with me.
"So you're the leader's wife, no wonder you look so impressive. And you're the leader of Beijing City, so you must be a very high-ranking official."
"It doesn't matter if he's an official or not, he's just too busy. He didn't even have time to be with his wife when she gave birth. He was free, while I had to work so hard to give birth in the hospital alone.
"Ah, men are still the best. We women have such a hard time. Fortunately, you are a kind person. You chat with me when I enter the ward. I am not so bored or nervous anymore. After seeing your grandson, I am more motivated to have children."
"Mrs. Wang, if you have any questions, you can ask me. My family is from the commune. I'm not bragging, but within a radius of hundreds of miles, there's nothing an old woman like me doesn't know."
"Thank you, sister. You are so kind. We just arrived here today and are unfamiliar with the place.
Can I ask where the state-owned restaurant is? My nanny can go buy food later."
"Mrs. Wang, I'm going to the state-owned restaurant to buy food later. Just ask your nanny to go with me."
"Thank you, sister. You are so kind and warm-hearted. When my husband comes back, I will tell him that the people in your commune are very nice."
"That's right. Your leaders from Jing City are coming to inspect our work, so we have to take good care of them."
It was not until the child started crying that the pregnant woman reluctantly returned the child to the old woman.
The pregnant woman came to Gu Ranran's bedside and asked enthusiastically, "Is it a boy or a girl? Or twins? They're so cute."
Just as Gu's mother was about to answer, Gu Ranran answered, "What's the point of being pretty? My husband is furious because I gave birth to two girls. My mother-in-law was so angry that she went home. I have no choice but to ask my family to take care of me."
After Gu Ranran finished speaking, she wiped her tears pretending to be wronged. She gave Lu Hai a look, and Lu Hai started to curse.
"Why are you feeling wronged? I haven't felt wronged at all. I have two daughters and no sons.
Hurry up and get well, and give me another son, or I will not forgive you."
Gu's mother also pretended to defend Gu Ranran: "Why are you yelling? My daughter just gave birth to a child, didn't you just give birth to your first child? If you want a son, just have another one."
Lu Hai gave Gu Ranran a look, and Gu Ranran stood up from the hospital bed.
Lu Hai punched the bed, and it collapsed instantly: "You didn't give birth to a son, and you're still so confident. When she was pregnant, I provided her with good food and drink, but she didn't give birth to a son.
How can my mother not be angry? I think there is no need for hospitalization, just discharge directly."
After Lu Hai finished speaking, he walked out angrily. Father Gu quickly chased after Lu Hai: "Son-in-law, don't be angry, it's all because of the child's mother's ignorance. I will pay for my daughter's hospitalization, and I will also pay for the bed you smashed.
"Can we change to another ward and stay for another day? My daughter just gave birth and can't leave. It would be bad if she hurts her body, and she won't be able to have more children in the future. Don't you think so? Don't argue with the child's mother, let's put the overall situation first."
"Okay then, you have to pay. I'll go find the nurse and change the ward now."
