Chapter 443 Parental Love (Twenty)
After getting off work at noon that day, Xie Zhiqiang strolled into the entrance of the alley carrying half a roast duck.
The third aunt looked anxiously at the door. When she saw someone, she walked forward with her small feet and waved to the person.
"Zhiqiang, Xiulan is about to give birth. Your father and others have just sent her to the hospital. You should go and see her."
"What? I'll go right away."
Xie Zhiqiang rushed into the courtyard in a hurry and appeared at the door pulling his father's tattered bicycle.
With a strong push of one foot, the man flew away like an arrow from Li Xuan.
Chang Dafa held Ernengzi in his arms and peered in: "He's riding so fast, I'm really worried his bike will fall apart halfway."
Jin Qiaofeng shook the clothes and hung them on the line to dry: "You really worry about nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clanging sound in the alley, followed by a scream that could scare away a whole tree of cicadas.
Ernengzi opened his eyes wide with curiosity and pointed at someone not far away.
He muttered, "Flying, flying."
Xie Zhiqiang was lying half-dead on the ground, with bicycle parts scattered around him.
One of the wheels crushed him, and the other automatically turned into the alley public toilet.
Wu Shengli was lowering his head and bumped his belt. He was stunned and a car wheel was stuck under him.
"What the hell?"
Why did he ride a Kadang unicycle when going to the toilet?
Life is so unpredictable, and you have to endure many setbacks.
Chang Dafa put the child down and trotted over to pat the person's face.
"Qiangzi, are you okay? Wake up."
It took Xie Zhiqiang a while to come back to his senses. Every time he moved, his buttocks twitched and the pain made his face pale.
"It's okay, I just...fell on my butt."
Holding his hand and holding on to the wall with the other side, she climbed up from the ground tremblingly.
Maybe it was because my butt was stretched, but after I stood up slowly, I felt better.
"You're incredibly lucky, but I think you'll need to get your car repaired."
Chang Dafa tilted his head and saw Wu Shengli coming over with a very aggressive wheel, his face full of resentment and a hint of gloating.
"Qiangzi, look at you. You're already a father, but you're still so clumsy in doing things."
“Oh, kid, Xiulan has given birth, and I still need to go to the hospital.
Dafa, can you lend me your bike? I promise I won’t ride it so fast.”
"Okay, I'll get it."
Chang Dafa has always been a generous person. Without saying a word, he turned around and went back into the house to push his bicycle.
Jin Qiaofeng was the first to come out dragging her bicycle.
"Big deal, here you go."
Chang Dafa smiled shyly and pushed the bicycle to Xie Zhiqiang.
"Brother, sister-in-law, thank you so much today."
Xie Zhiqiang felt a burning sensation in his heart and was about to push the cart away.
Seeing Ernengzi sitting on the doorstep at the gate of the courtyard, he thought of something else.
He put the bicycle back into Chang Dafa's hands and quickly walked into the compound.
After a while, he came out again and stuffed the half roast duck in his hand into Jin Qiaofeng's hand.
"Sister-in-law, this roast duck tastes good. I'll give you an extra dish for lunch."
Jin Qiaofeng smelled the aroma of meat and said, "How can I do this? I can wait for you to come back and eat it."
She didn't expect to get such a great benefit just by borrowing a bicycle.
Xie Zhiqiang took the bicycle from Chang Dafa, waved his hand, and left.
He was going to the hospital to wait for Xiulan to give birth.
Diao Yulian heard the noise in the backyard and rushed out. When she saw the oil-paper bag in Jin Qiaofeng's hand, she almost vomited.
Wu Shengli, this idiot, didn't even bother to borrow a bicycle, and thus gave away the benefit in front of him.
Her father-in-law also has a bicycle, which he treasures very much. Only two grown men in the family can ride it.
If she did, her nagging mother-in-law would definitely start nagging her again, which would be so annoying.
Ernengzi is small but has a big heart for meat. He slurps his saliva, pats his belly and waits for the meat.
Chang Dafa looked back at his smiling wife and children, then lowered his head to collect the bicycle parts one by one and put them in a basket on the corridor of Old Xie's house in the east room.
The two bicycle wheels on top of the basket were still spinning.
On the other side, Xie Zhiqiang restrained his legs from pedaling the bicycle a little and hurried to the hospital.
Uncle Three, Xie Dawei, and Old Man Gao were waiting outside the delivery room when they heard Gao Xiulan's cries of pain from inside.
Xie Dawei's head was spinning when he saw his son coming.
"You're finally here."
Old Man Gao had difficulty walking, and as he sat on the bench, his hands shook unconsciously.
His daughter was giving birth in there. The man who normally wouldn't complain of being tired even if he moved a cart of cabbages was now crying like this in there.
Xie Zhiqiang held his knees with both hands and took a deep breath.
"As soon as I got off work and arrived at the gate, Auntie Three told me about this. Is Xiulan still in there?"
The third uncle replied: "She hasn't given birth yet. She's been pushed in for an hour."
Xie Zhiqiang couldn't sit still either, so he leaned against the wall, staring at the delivery room without blinking.
Everyone waited outside for it to end.
Finally the door was opened and a nurse came out holding the child.
"Is Gao Xiulan's parents here? The baby is born, weighing 5.92 jins."
Xie Zhiqiang rushed over and asked, "Comrade, is my wife okay?"
"He's fine. He'll be wheeled to the general ward soon. Mother and child are safe."
When Xie Dawei heard this, he raised his chin and looked at the child's face.
"He's my eldest grandson."
It looks ugly and red, and he can't tell who it looks like.
Old Man Gao first looked at his daughter who was sweating profusely, then looked at the child, and finally his tense body relaxed.
He turned his head and put his hands together in a slight bow.
With the help of the nurse, Gao Xiulan changed into dry clothes.
Although I was a little tired after giving birth, I still couldn't sleep.
Xie Zhiqiang stayed with Gao Xiulan, and her child was sleeping next to her.
"Xiu Lan, can you tell who our son looks like?"
Xie Zhiqiang compared the children's appearances, but couldn't figure it out for a long time.
Old Man Gao laughed, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes squeezed together: "This child's nose looks like yours, and his mouth looks like Xiulan."
Xie Dawei stretched it out and took another look, half believing and half doubting: "Brother, you can even see this? It's amazing.
Anyway, it is definitely your child, there is no doubt about it."
Gao Xiulan was the only one who came to the hospital to give birth at this time today. He was a little worried when there were too many people.
No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, the best children are those at home.
Gao Xiulan looked at her red monkey-like son and joked, "This child came just in time for dinner. He will definitely be a foodie in the future."
After the third uncle knew that the mother and child were safe, he went back to the compound to report the good news.
"Being able to eat is a blessing. If children eat well, they will grow tall and have good health in the future."
Xie Dawei was very satisfied with this because he also loved to eat.
Well, he understood. His eldest grandson was like him in this respect!
"Xiu Lan, are you hungry? I'll go out and buy some food."
After asking Xie Zhiqiang, his own stomach started to sing the "Empty City Strategy" and his face turned red.
Father Gao came to his son-in-law's rescue: "Let's go to the restaurant and cook two dishes and order some soup."
Xie Zhiqiang responded and ran outside to pack up the food.
Gao Xiulan looked at the child who had his eyes closed, his body curled up, and his mouth stammering from time to time.
"This child isn't very noisy, is he?"
Xie Dawei touched his chin: "It's only the first day, it's hard to say."
When Zhiqiang was born, he was very well behaved with his eyes closed. But after he opened his eyes, he became a little trumpet who could only cry out for milk.
"Dawei, our child is so well behaved. He loves his mother and will definitely not make a fuss."
Old Man Gao is old and can't stand the hard work.
"No, I have to go pray again."
Xie Dawei couldn't sit still anymore, so he ran to the corner and started muttering again.
