The end of the year is approaching, and the cold wind of deep winter is still biting, but the people are all happy and their faces are beaming.
The white world of ice and snow is filled with a few bright and eye-catching colors, adding fresh vitality to the earth.
There are red lanterns hanging on the doors of every household and red couplets posted on the door, which is very festive.
The streets and alleys and the markets are bustling with people, the sounds of hawking and bargaining and children playing are everywhere.
On New Year's Eve, it is even more lively, with firecrackers blasting everywhere. On New Year's Eve, every family gathers together to celebrate the New Year.
However, Xianyang Hospital was still silent.
It was a lot quieter than usual, with only a few people around except for the hospitalized patients.
Most of them were listless, and some were pale and dazed, looking as if they were worried about something.
Chen Ergou is one of them.
He stood outside the delivery room, listening to his wife's painful moans. His heart seemed to be tightly gripped, and he felt so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe.
Chen Cui looked at her nephew who was on the verge of collapse, suppressed her inner worries, and comforted him softly.
"Don't worry too much, Ergou. Lan'er and the child will be fine."
At this moment, Chen Ergou's entire attention was focused on his wife and children.
How can I spare any time to deal with others?
He nodded randomly, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the door of the delivery room.
Chen Cui, who was standing aside, sighed dejectedly, her face full of worry.
Since ancient times, childbirth for women has been a hurdle.
And based on her experience of giving birth, Lan'er's slender figure and small frame would make childbirth more difficult.
Time passes by little by little.
The painful groans coming from the delivery room became quieter and quieter, but the baby's cry was still not heard.
Chen Ergou's heart sank little by little, and he was in great torment. Several times he couldn't control himself and wanted to rush in.
After an untold amount of time, the door of the delivery room finally opened.
The doctor wore a white mask, revealing a pair of serious eyes.
His heart skipped a beat and he hurried forward to inquire about the situation.
"Doctor Bai, how is my wife?"
"The situation is not optimistic. The pregnant woman's fetus is in an abnormal position, with the breech position facing downwards, making it difficult for her to give birth naturally."
Upon hearing the bad news, Chen Ergou staggered and shivered all over.
The next moment, he knelt down with a plop and begged Bai Ying desperately.
"Please save my wife and children! Please... I am willing to serve you like a slave..."
"That's not necessary. I will do my best. This is my job as a doctor."
Bai Ying helped the man up and comforted him in a gentle voice.
But she did not forget the urgent matter and informed the two of them seriously.
"However, in this situation, if the pregnant woman continues with a normal birth, there is a high possibility of both death and injury."
"If a caesarean section is performed, there is still a glimmer of hope."
This unheard-of and strange method made Chen Cui shocked and frightened, and she couldn't help but question it repeatedly.
"Cesarean section? Do you mean cutting open the stomach? Can that person still survive?"
Bai Ying had anticipated facing the emotional family members.
After all, there has never been a precedent of caesarean section in the Qin Dynasty, and this sounds too bloody and terrifying.
"We'll sew up the wound."
She explained concisely and then solemnly urged the patient's husband.
"Time is of the essence, and we ask the family to make a decision as soon as possible."
At the door of the empty delivery room, the atmosphere was depressing and solemn, and the woman's painful moans were intermittent, making people feel uneasy.
After thinking for a few moments, Chen Ergou made a difficult decision.
"A Caesarian section."
The man's voice was dry and hoarse, enough to reveal the pain and struggle in his heart.
Bai Ying looked at the man with some surprise.
"Okay, please sign the consent form for the surgery."
After signing, the doctor in white turned around and hurried into the delivery room.
Just as he was about to step in, an extremely firm voice sounded from behind him.
"If you can only save one... please save my wife!"
Bai Ying paused, nodded, and then entered the delivery room filled with the smell of blood.
She announced the news while putting on her surgical gown.
"Teacher, the family agreed."
"Well, start the cesarean section."
Gao Ci announced solemnly, his eyes filled with solemnity and seriousness.
The operation was performed by Gao Ci, with Bai Ying as his assistant, responsible for coordinating suturing, cleaning the wound, and stopping bleeding.
But when she saw the flesh being cut open and the blood dripping out, her heart still trembled.
She gritted her teeth, forced herself to calm down, and tried her best to assist the teacher.
The operation cannot tolerate any mistakes, otherwise it will result in two deaths.
The night grew darker and darker, but the streets of Xianyang were brightly lit and bustling with activity.
However, human beings do not share the same sorrows and joys; everyone in the world suffers and rejoices on their own.
The hospital became increasingly deserted and quiet late at night.
Chen Ergou squatted at the door of the delivery room, buried his head between his knees, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a haze of despair.
He recalled his wife's voice, smile, and every sweet moment they had together, and their anticipation for their child...
He once thought that the bad luck in the first half of his life was over and that the second half was destined to be lucky and happy.
But unexpectedly, God played a joke on him.
Chen Cui looked at her decadent and desperate nephew, patted his shoulder and comforted him softly.
"Ergou, Lan'er is blessed by fate. God will surely bless her and her child."
Hearing this, Chen Ergou suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of red eyes.
