Chapter 370 Xu Manman gave birth
The days passed one by one, and while Jiang Xinbai was anxiously waiting, Xu Manman finally gave birth.
Yang Jiabao held his newborn son and said cheerfully, "Manman, thank you for your hard work. We won't have any more children in the future."
It has been hard for me to be the caregiver for the past few months, let alone my pregnant wife, which would have been even harder.
Xu Manman looked at the child in her husband's arms happily and gently touched his little nose with her hand, "Hey, look, this nose looks like yours, straight and tall, he's a handsome boy. By the way, have you called your parents?"
Yang Jiabao was stunned when he heard this, "Well, I only cared about you and the child, and I haven't notified them yet!"
"Oh, you should have told your parents about such a big happy event earlier. Manman and the child's aunt will help you take care of it. Go and make the call quickly!" Wu Hehua smiled and took the child from Yang Jiabao's arms.
"Okay, then, aunt, please look after the mother and son first." After saying this, Yang Jiabao ran directly to the convenience store outside.
"Hey, Mom, yes, Manman was born. It's a boy, weighing 6.32 jin. Yes, both the adult and the child are fine. I know I will take good care of Manman. We plan to go back when the weather gets warmer." Yang Jiabao said happily while leaning on the counter of the convenience store.
Jiang Xinbai was so happy when he received the call, "Jiabao, find someone to pay some money to take care of Manman during her confinement! Don't live in the chicken farm anymore. There's an empty room in our house. Find someone to clean it and move in. Oh, if I wasn't stuck with your clothing store, I would have wanted to go back to take care of Manman."
"Hey, Mom, I know everything you said. I'll find someone to clean the house later and find an aunt to take care of Manman during her confinement."
"Okay, call mom if you have anything else. By the way, have you told Manman's parents?" Jiang Xinbai only then realized that his in-laws probably didn't know that Manman had given birth yet!
"Well, not yet. Mom, I won't talk to you yet. I still have to call my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
"Okay, Mom will give you some money. Remember to pick it up when the time comes. Don't treat Manman badly. This is her last month of confinement. You must take good care of her." Jiang Xinbai thought that since she already had two children, she probably wouldn't have any more children.
Over there, Yang Jiabao notified everyone who needed to be notified, and then walked briskly towards the hospital ward. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a few unfamiliar people inside, so he quickly squeezed in and stood in front of his wife's bed.
“You are…”
The middle-aged woman in the lead coughed twice and explained, "Yang Jiabao, Xu Manman, right? We are from the Family Planning Office, you should know why we are here!"
Xu Manman gently pulled her husband's hand from behind and whispered, "My aunt just went to get the baby checked, and they came and said we violated the family planning policy."
Yang Jiabao nodded in understanding, closed the door, looked at the middle-aged woman and said with a smile: "Leader, I'm sorry to have delayed your work."
The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You are so brave that you dare to come to the hospital to give birth. Isn't this delivering it to your door?"
"Alas, there is nothing we can do. For the safety of both adults and children, we should come to the hospital. However, leader, the baby is born. You can't just take the baby away, right?"
Yang Jiabao thought that this was not the case. Could it be that the government was raising children for free?
"Do you think that just giving birth to the child is enough? What about registering the child? Can you register the child without a birth certificate?"
Yang Jinsheng understood what she said. He quickly walked a few steps closer and asked in a low voice, "Leader, how much does it cost to get a new birth permit?"
Seeing Yang Jinsheng coming to the rescue, the middle-aged woman said directly, "Now the fine for having an extra child is 5,000 yuan. Don't think it's too much. The fine here is not high. If you ask around elsewhere, you can find fines of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan!"
"Hey, leader, can it be a little less? Five thousand is really..." Yang Jiabao pretended to be embarrassed.
The middle-aged woman immediately shook her head and replied seriously: "Now you know you have no money? Why didn't you think of this when you gave birth to the child? Anyway, the fine cannot be reduced by a penny. If you pay the money now, you can get a birth certificate to register your household registration. When the policy changes in the future, you can't buy a birth certificate even if you pay."
At this time, Xu Manman pulled her husband's hand, poked her head out and said softly: "Leader, we don't have so much money right now. Can you give us some more time to get it together?"
"You don't want to escape, do you? I tell you, if you run away, it will be a mistake on top of a mistake." The middle-aged woman looked at them with suspicion.
Xu Manman waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, we won't run away. Well, tomorrow, tomorrow I will ask my husband to go to the Family Planning Office to pay the money. You have to give us some time to collect the money, right?"
The middle-aged woman held out her hand and said, "Pledge your ID card!"
Yang Jiabao had no choice but to hand her his ID card.
"Okay, remember to come tomorrow and bring money."
Just then, Wu Hehua came in holding her child. Seeing the middle-aged woman coming towards her, she asked curiously, "Jiabao, who is this?"
Yang Jiabao smiled helplessly and replied, "It's done by the family planning department. They're so fast. As soon as Manman gave birth, they came right after."
"Oh, it's the family planning office. Why are they here? The baby is already born." Wu Hehua thought that the family planning office was in charge while the baby was in the womb, but it would be none of their business after the baby was born, right?
“The fine is coming.”
"Oh, look at me, I forgot about this. Yes, you have to pay a fine, otherwise you can't get your household registration. By the way, did they say how much it would be?"
"Five thousand." Yang Jiabao stretched out five fingers.
"Hiss, is it so expensive?" Wu Hehua's family is not a family member who practices family planning, so naturally she doesn't understand the market situation.
"Well, they took my ID card away because they were afraid we would run away. I have to pay the fine tomorrow."
Wu Hehua held the child and looked at Yang Jiabao with some entanglement, and asked softly: "Hey, Jiabao, do you have any money? How about you take some from me first?"
Anyway, she hasn't touched the five thousand yuan Xiaobai gave her, so it's okay to lend it to him first.
Yang Jiabao glanced at his aunt and smiled, "I don't have that much money on me, but I can go to the bank to withdraw it. I brought my passbook with me when I came. Thank you for your kindness, aunt."
Wu Hehua instantly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what he said, and her smile became relaxed, "That's good, that's good. But, you have to register your household registration in Shenzhen, right? Will the birth permit from your hometown be useful?"
"Ah? I really don't know about that, but it doesn't matter, I'll find out tomorrow when I ask."
