Ye Chenming was very meticulous in his work. He mixed hot water with cold water, added dish soap, and washed the rice bowls thoroughly.
Seeing that the thermos flasks were almost empty, she called Ye Huiguo to go and fetch water together, and they filled all five thermos flasks before returning to their room.
Upon entering the room, I noticed that Yan Xiaonan's complexion was off; her originally rosy face had turned somewhat pale.
"Nan Nan, are you about to give birth?" Ye Chenming rushed over and asked.
"I feel my belly sinking, but I shouldn't give birth so soon." Yan Xiaonan felt her stomach hurting even more.
Cuihua had already helped Tianru wash her hands and face, and was now holding Nannan's towel, ready to wipe Nannan's face as well.
Upon hearing Ye Chenming's words, she immediately ran out: "Nannan, does your stomach hurt?"
Yan Xiaonan nodded, and Fu Qingping became anxious and shouted, "Quickly call a doctor!"
His voice had already changed when he called out, and Ye Huiguo hurriedly ran towards the nurses' station: "Quick, Nan Nan is about to give birth."
There was only one nurse at the nurses' station; the other two had gone to eat.
Upon hearing Ye Huiguo's call, she quickly picked up the phone. The obstetrician had said that Yan Xiaonan in the VIP room was giving birth, so she should contact her immediately.
As soon as the phone rang, the obstetrician knew that Yan Xiaonan was about to go into labor: "Take Yan Xiaonan to delivery room number one immediately."
The nurse nodded repeatedly, hung up the phone, and went to the back to push out a mobile bed: "Come on, we'll take Ms. Yan to delivery room number one."
Ye Huiguo watched as the nurse finished her phone call and pushed the mobile bed with a calm and composed demeanor. He nodded in approval, memorized the nurse's number, and decided to write her a letter of commendation later.
Cuihua, having given birth to four children, was experienced. She glanced at Yan Xiaonan's belly and said, "It's probably still a while before you give birth. Wash your face and get up to walk around."
Yan Xiaonan nodded and, with Ye Chenming's help, went to the restroom. After using the toilet, she washed her face and hands and applied a layer of face cream.
Ye Chenming's heart was pounding so hard he could hear it himself.
Every move Yan Xiaonan made made him anxious; would the child fall?
Yan Xiaonan tied her hair up, thinking that she would sweat a lot during childbirth and tying it up would keep her clean.
She then placed the ring on her hand into her spatial storage, as the ring representing the matriarch of the Ye family could not be lost; it was meant to be passed down through generations.
The portable bed had already been pushed into the room: "Ms. Yan, can you come up?" the nurse asked.
Yan Xiaonan smiled and said, "Just call me Nannan, that's what everyone calls me. I'll go over there, you lead the way."
The nurse nodded repeatedly, saying it would be best if they could walk over there; walking before delivery is more conducive to childbirth.
"Okay, Nan Nan, I'll walk in front, and you walk slowly behind. If you can't take it, just lie down on me."
Yan Xiaonan nodded and looked at Cuihua, saying, "Mom, please keep an eye on Tianru and Grandpa and Grandma. Don't let them come over. If they can go home, Uncle can take them back."
Cuihua was unwilling to leave, and Tianru was even more reluctant: "Mom, let me follow behind you."
Ye Ren made a quick decision: "Cuihua, you and Tianru go with her. Ye Huiguo, you take your mother back."
Ye Huiguo nodded repeatedly. He didn't know how long childbirth would take, and Fu Qingping couldn't stay up late, but Ye Ren also seemed to be unable to stay up late.
“Dad, you come back with me too. I’ll pick you up after Nan Nan gives birth. Anyway, home is very close to here.”
Ye Ren nodded, stood up with his cane, and knew he shouldn't cause trouble for the child at this time; it was best to go home and wait for news.
“Tianru, your parents can’t control you now, and you can’t help them either. Go home with your great-grandfather and come back after you have the baby.”
Tianru shook his head. He understood the reasoning, but he was still a child and always wanted to stay with his parents.
Yan Xiaonan walked back with difficulty, patted Tianru's head and said, "Tianru, be good. If you stay here, Mommy will worry about you. Why don't you go back with Grandpa?"
Tears welled up in Ye Tianru's eyes. He longed to see his younger brother or sister born, but to avoid worrying his mother, he retreated to Ye Ren's side.
Seeing her son's well-behaved and sensible nature, Yan Xiaonan was extremely pleased and gave him two thumbs up: "Tianru is such a good boy, Mom gives you two thumbs up."
Ye Huiguo closed the door and pushed Fu Qingping in front, while Ye Ren supported Tianru behind. They all calmed down and waited for the arrival of the new life.
When Grandma Yan learned that Yan Xiaonan had started labor, she quickly climbed onto the bed and prayed to the ancient ginseng: "Ginseng spirit, ginseng spirit, please bless my Nannan with a safe delivery."
Then she went to the bathroom to take a shower so she would be clean when she went to see the baby.
It took Grandma Yan two hours to wash herself clean. Then she started looking for clothes, insisting on wearing cotton ones, otherwise the baby would be uncomfortable when she held him.
Yan Xiaoqiang was doing the same thing in his room. Nan Nan was about to give birth, and he needed to clean himself up so he could hold the baby.
Ye Chenming helped Yan Xiaonan walk back and forth for almost an hour, of course, sitting for a while and then walking for a while.
When she was in pain, she sat on a chair by the corridor, and Cuihua quickly gave her longan soup.
Cuihua was glad she had cooked longan and red date soup today, otherwise she wouldn't know what to feed Nannan now.
There's also the broth in the thermos; I can just heat it up and eat it after giving birth—it's so timely.
The obstetrician rushed over from home. Today was her day off, and she was planning to have a good rest, but unexpectedly, her baby started labor today.
Fortunately, it started in the evening, so at least all the housework that needed to be done today is done. It's almost the end of the year, and there's still a lot to do at home.
Seeing Yan Xiaonan walking at the entrance of delivery room number one, he nodded in agreement and went inside to disinfect and change clothes.
She helped Yan Xiaonan lie down on the delivery bed, glanced at her, and said, "You're only three centimeters dilated. Take a rest, and if you have the energy, walk around a bit more."
Yan Xiaonan nodded. She needed to go to the restroom, so Ye Chenming quickly led her inside.
"Chenming, check if there are any security cameras. I want to go inside."
Ye Chenming nodded quickly and carefully inspected the toilet. This toilet must be for VIPs; it was so clean it didn't look like a public toilet.
"Nan Nan, I've checked carefully, there's nothing there," Ye Chenming said.
Yan Xiaonan nodded, entered the cubicle, and then slipped into the space. Yu Shu ran around anxiously, sensing that her mother was in pain.
"Mom, are you going to have a little brother? I feel uneasy." Yu Shu rushed over as soon as she saw Yan Xiaonan.
A wave of pain hit her, and Yan Xiaonan quickly sat down, trying her best to endure the pain.
Yu Shu's tears fell in a stream, her heart aching: "Mom, when you gave birth to me and Tianru, did it hurt like this too?"
Yan Xiaonan nodded, thinking that giving birth to you and Tianru was much more difficult than it is now. She gave birth to twins in her first pregnancy and even had to deliver the babies herself.
