This wasn't Tao Chunfang's first time giving birth, but this time it received more attention than her first.
"Listen to Xiaoni, you can't go wrong. If you find it troublesome, just wait and let Mom pack. Then you can help carry the things to the car."
"I was just saying that. It doesn't take much effort. Can't I do it?" Qiao Dashan stuffed the quilt into his luggage bag.
Su Chenhao lifted the curtain and came in: "The car has been found. For safety reasons, I found two cars so that there will be more space for us to sit."
“Yes, we can’t skimp on this money.” Li Meihua is clear-headed even in critical moments.
Qiao Manli was reluctant to let her mother go to the hospital, so she could only go forward and hug her legs.
"Mom, come back soon. Come back right after you give birth to your little brother."
"Okay, be a good girl at home and don't cause any trouble for anyone," Tao Chunfang instructed her daughter, only feeling relieved after seeing her daughter nod obediently.
Qiao Haisheng glanced at the calendar: "The baby will be born this month, and Xiaoshan will get married next month. Our family will be full of happy events."
"Of course! They'll be here on the 18th of this month." Li Meihua was always thinking about her youngest son, though she didn't say it aloud.
Last month, they discussed and set their wedding date for June, which was just the right time as the weather wouldn't be too hot.
To prevent any trouble for the two families, we bought them a two-bedroom, one-living-room house on the street in front of us, so they can stay there for the time being.
Buying a big house isn't easy, so this is the only arrangement for now. These days they've done some simple renovations and bought all the appliances.
After packing, they finally managed to bring everything they needed. Qiao Haisheng was responsible for taking care of his granddaughter at home, so he couldn't go along.
Upon their arrival at the hospital, Zhao Susu personally greeted them and had already completed the admission procedures for them in advance.
"We specially reserved a double room for you, with two beds, and it's not occupied yet. This way, the pregnant woman can get a good rest," Zhao Susu said as she led them to the room.
"Aunt Zhao, thank you so much. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to get a double room." Qiao Xiaoni had seen that the hospital environment was rather poor. After all, this was the 1980s, and being able to give birth in a hospital was already a blessing. Some rooms had six beds, and it would be quite a scene if several pregnant women were giving birth.
Double rooms are relatively quieter, and everyone can get enough rest.
In order to make room for someone, a folding bed was specially prepared in advance so that Li Meihua and Qiao Dashan could take turns taking care of her.
If she weren't so pregnant, she would have wanted to stay and take care of the baby.
Ma Yulan will be here soon after I give birth, and she can help take care of me during my postpartum period.
Upon arriving at the double room, I could finally put down the things I was carrying, which were piled up all over the floor.
"You brought so much stuff, you're very well prepared," Zhao Susu said after looking at it.
"It'll save us from being scrambling around later." Li Meihua noticed that the bed on the right was near the window, where sunlight was streaming in, which was nice. She first took the bedding from the bed and put it on the other bed, then spread out the bedding she had brought.
“You can’t do it like that. The bedding will get dirty after the baby is born. Why don’t you put the hospital bedding on top and change it after the bleeding stops?” Zhao Susu couldn’t help but interject.
Li Meihua thought that made sense, and took the mattress back: "The doctor is so thoughtful. I can't remember anything right now."
Zhao Susu smiled and took out meal tickets from her pocket: "These are the meal tickets I got for you. Don't go to meals in groups, it's not good if outsiders see. The hospital cafeteria is mainly for employees, family members need to buy meal tickets to eat."
