Zhang Ruan felt even more nervous staying in the hospital.
Although the due date is one or two days, it may actually be earlier or later.
After two days of living, there was still no sign of birth.
Chu's mother found different ways to cook delicious food and took the trouble to deliver meals to her daughter-in-law every day.
The hospital is located in the county town, more than three hours' bus ride from their home.
Every day when Chu's mother goes out, she has to take an extra taxi outside the village to catch the bus.
Zhang Ruan saw this and was deeply moved. After lunch that day, she said:
"Mom, I'll just eat some fast food nearby. It's too tiring for you to go back and forth."
Mother Chu didn't care much:
"You can't eat fast food three times a day. It's so unnutritious. It's okay. I'm not tired. I'll just deliver one meal to you every day."
Zhang Ruan felt warm in his heart. From childhood to adulthood, Chu's mother treated Zhang Ruan coldly, but it was just a friendly gesture.
At first, she was afraid that if she married Chu Qi, she would not get along well with his parents and would be embarrassed.
I didn't expect his parents to be such kind people, they treated her very well...
Zhang Ruan unknowingly treated the two elders as his own parents and decided to be filial to them in the future.
Chu Qi didn't tell anyone about her return home. She went back quietly. When she got back to the county town, she followed the address given by her wife and hurried to the ward where her wife was in the afternoon.
She knocked gently on the door.
My parents went out to buy food, and only Zhang Ruan and another pregnant woman were in the room.
Hearing the knock on the door, the pregnant woman next door and Zhang Ruan stared at each other. Nurses don’t knock when they come in, they usually just go in directly, so who is knocking on the door?
The other pregnant woman looked at Zhang Ruan, with no intention of speaking, and silently lowered her head to play with her phone.
Zhang Ruan had no choice but to ask: "Who is it?"
"It's me."
"Chu Qi?" Zhang Ruan recognized the voice immediately. She widened her eyes slightly, filled with disbelief and joy.
How come Chu Qi is here? Isn’t he at school?
"I'm coming in."
Zhang Ruan said quickly: "Come in."
Chu Qi opened the door and walked in slowly. She had a backpack on her back and a bag of apples and bananas in her hands. She put the bag on the table and untied the backpack and put it aside.
"Why are you here? Is school on holiday?"
Zhang Ruan could hardly hide the excitement in her tone, and looked at Chu Qi with curved brows.
"No, I asked for leave to come back. How could I not be with my wife when she gave birth?"
Chu Qi went into the bathroom, washed her hands and wiped her face, simply removing the dust, and then sat on the stool next to the soft bed.
She reached out and held Zhang Ruan's slightly rough hand, rubbing their palms together. Chu Qi used her body temperature to warm Zhang Ruan's hand: "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhang Ruan had one hand held, and he glanced at the woman in the next bed with embarrassment. When he found that she was not paying attention to him and was still playing with her phone, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"Fortunately, except for not being able to turn over when sleeping at night, everything else is a minor problem."
Chu Qi looked at her for a moment and smiled slightly, "Well, you look good and have gained a lot of weight. It seems that our parents have taken good care of you."
Zhang Ruan blushed, unable to bear her husband staring at her, and turned away embarrassedly:
“Is it really fat?”
She lowered her voice: "Will you dislike me?"
Chu Qi pinched her face and said seriously:
"I like you no matter you are fat or thin. Besides, you became fat because you wanted to have a baby. Who am I to dislike you?"
Zhang Ruan felt so sweet in her heart that she grasped Chu Qi's bony fingers with a little force and whispered something in his ear.
"I like you too..."
Chu Qi's ears felt numb and tingling, as if there were small hooks teasing them. He tilted his head and kissed his wife on the face. The touch was soft and tasted great.
After kissing her cheek, Chu Qi turned and kissed his wife on the lips.
Zhang Ruan opened her eyes wide, like a frightened deer, and couldn't help but look at the bed next to her, hoping that they would not notice our little actions.
As a result, his eyes met with the pregnant woman in the next bed.
Zhang Ruan: "......"
The pregnant woman next door: "......"
She silently looked away and returned her gaze to her phone.
Acting as if nothing happened.
Zhang's hands and feet were so weak that she let him kiss her. It was a while before Chu Qi ended the French kiss.
......
After finishing their meal, Chu's father and mother came back with packed lunch boxes. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a very familiar figure sitting in front of Zhang Ruan's bed.
The couple stopped in their tracks at the same time and looked at each other.
The look in their eyes means: Are you seeing things?
When Chu Qi heard the noise, she turned around and called "Mom and Dad" with a smile.
The two elders woke up as if from a dream and walked in quickly.
"Boss, why are you back?" Chu's mother.
"The little brat didn't even tell anyone when he got home." Father Chu cursed with a laugh.
"Isn't this a surprise for you?"
Chu Qi rubbed her nose.
"I like to do everything quietly, just like when I was a kid."
Mother Chu placed one hand on her eldest son's slightly messy head, rubbed it a few times, and said with concern:
"Why did you go home out of the blue? Is the school closed for the holidays?"
Chu Qi: "No, I want to come back to accompany my wife to give birth, I will be back in a few days."
Zhang Ruan smiled shyly, lowered her head embarrassedly, and tangled her fingers together.
"Good boy, you still remember to accompany your wife, not bad." Father Chu praised.
He opened the lunch box and the aroma of food filled the air.
Chu Qi felt a little hungry after smelling it.
Zhang Ruan said, "Chu Qi, you haven't eaten yet, come and eat with us."
