Hearing her heart-wrenching pain during labor, Gao Baoliang wished he could be the one in that pain.
Can't men be the ones to give birth?
It's true that men get all the benefits, while women suffer the pain of childbirth.
He paced back and forth outside the door. The door to the delivery room opened, and a nurse came out carrying a baby, but she didn't call out Gao Baoliang's name.
But he was also afraid of being called by his name.
On one occasion, he heard a nurse call a man's name, not for his child, but to tell him that the pregnant woman was having a difficult labor and needed to sign a consent form for a cesarean section.
In those days, cesarean sections were not very advanced in terms of technology and were only used as a means of rescuing women in difficult labor.
This hospital has only handled a few cases so far, and one of them resulted in a large-scale infection, nearly causing the pregnant woman's death.
Therefore, he did not want that extreme situation to occur.
It was almost 11 p.m., and Jiang Ning couldn't wait any longer. She found a secluded corner, entered her spatial dimension, filled a military water bottle with spiritual spring water, and took it out.
She begged the nurse to bring the water bottle in so she could drink it.
This is a sweet soup to replenish energy.
The nurse was exhausted from Yang Lu's pregnancy and tried a sip herself.
The sweet syrup, like a refreshing spring, instantly relieved most of her fatigue.
She quickly and excitedly handed the water bottle to Yang Lu's lips, urging her to drink.
Yang Lu's hair and clothes were soaked through. She had a moment to catch her breath and, upon hearing that it was given to her by Jiang Ning, immediately took it and started drinking.
After drinking it, she immediately felt her strength return and began to exert herself again.
At this moment, Lin Qiao, who was waiting outside, could no longer sit still. She hugged Luo Guangming, buried her head in his chest, and absorbed his strength.
Wow, childbirth takes so long!
They were all exhausted from waiting outside for so long, so how could Yang Lu endure it for so long?
All I can say is that mothers are strong; for the sake of their children, they will endure any hardship.
During their waiting period, six babies were born in the delivery room.
Just when they thought they had to endure this much longer, a loud cry broke the darkness.
Soon, the nurse brought out a wrinkled little boy and told Gao Baoliang that mother and child were safe and sound, and the baby weighed 6 pounds 8 ounces.
The nurse pretended to give him the child, but he refused and gestured for her to give it to Jiang Ning.
"I'm waiting for my wife to come out."
Jiang Ning smiled and took the child.
"Come on, baby, let's go back to the ward first, okay? Mom and Dad will be here soon."
Jiang Ning and Lin Chen returned to the ward together.
They specifically paid a high price to book a single room.
There is also a tall baby rocking cradle inside.
The baby can sleep inside.
Jiang Ning put the baby in, covered him with a blanket, and gently rocked the crib.
Lin Chen stood behind her, watching this scene, and recalled the time when the two of them had just had their child.
Unexpectedly, six years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ning teased the little baby with a smile, but the little one seemed very sleepy, only holding onto her fingers tightly without opening his eyes, his pink little face full of wrinkles.
After a while, Yang Lu was also pushed in.
She looked tired, but was in good spirits; the first thing she did upon entering was look for her child.
"Where is my baby? Let me see him/her!"
After the baby was born, the nurse only let her see it once before taking it away.
Jiang Ning picked up the child and placed her next to her, letting her feel the warmth of the world.
Gao Baoliang knelt by the bed and finally got a good look at the child.
Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to her mother's, her nose is like her own and is quite straight, her mouth is a little small and her lips are very thin, it's hard to say who she resembles.
They definitely don't seem to be from Gao Baoliang's side of the family.
He doesn't resemble Yang Ziqiang either.
Of course, Yang Lu and Yang Ziqiang have absolutely nothing in common.
Seeing the warm interaction between the family of three, the long wait just now seemed insignificant and was well worth it.
Jiang Ning and Lin Qiao took the items out of the maternity bag and put them in the hospital cabinet. They also took out a clean diaper and taught Gao Baoliang how to change it.
Gao Baoliang is such an idiot, I've taught him several times and he still can't get it.
Yang Lu listened attentively and learned how to do it without even trying.
Just then, the baby farted, pooped out, and then peed. He started kicking his legs and crying.
Jiang Ning handed the diaper to Gao Baoliang.
"Your time to be tested has come."
Jiang Ning fetched some warm water from a basin, and Gao Baoliang clumsily helped his son wash his diaper, then dried it with a towel, and finally put a diaper under his bottom, tying both ends into the elastic band around his waist.
By this time, Gao Baoliang was covered in sweat.
"Ugh, taking care of a child is even more tiring than decorating!" He stomped his feet in frustration.
Lin Chen encouraged him, saying, "Practice makes perfect. Just do it a few more times and you'll get the hang of it. Back in the day, I was twice as tired!"
Gao Baoliang suddenly remembered that he had once laughed at Lin Chen, saying that when the child cried, he would fiddle with this and that, and could not soothe him for a long time.
At that moment, he saw Lin Chen's filter shattered on the ground.
Now it's his turn; all the arrows he once shot have returned.
He saw Luo Guangming laughing along, and couldn't help but huff and puff:
"Guangming, don't laugh at me. Sooner or later, you'll have your day too."
Luo Guangming's face immediately turned red. "What are you saying about me?"
"Who else should I criticize? Are you incapable? Xiaoqiao is old enough to be a mother."
Gao Baoliang deliberately provoked him.
Luo Guangming embraced Lin Qiao and suddenly said with great confidence:
"What's the rush? Let's have another child when your child is a little older, so your son can take care of my daughter."
Gao Baoliang scoffed, "A daughter, my foot! You think you're lucky? We think you're only destined to have sons!"
"Isn't it good to have a son? A son can protect his mother with me."
After Luo Guangming finished speaking, his face turned even redder.
Lin Qiao never expected him to have these thoughts.
He probably thought about having children, but because he wasn't ready to have them, he never brought it up.
Although childbirth is very hard, as long as the couple faces it together and shares the burden, the pain of childbirth will be lessened and won't seem so terrible.
She suddenly had the idea to give it a try.
“You wait, we’ll have one next year too,” Lin Qiao suddenly said.
Luo Guangming listened, looked at her, and a smile spread across his face.
"Honey, are you serious? You've decided to have a child?"
"Hmm, I've thought it through. If we're going to have a baby sooner or later, why not bring the new life here sooner?"
She sighed inwardly.
Watching her child chewing on their own fingers, she suddenly thought of a question.
"What are your children's names?"
