Time flies, and it's early summer. He Yuhan and Han Yixian's second child is due soon. As the due date approaches, Han Yixian is starting to worry.
He had asked Yan Qingya to reserve a ward at the county hospital well in advance. For safety reasons, Han Yixian had He Yuhan admitted to the hospital when her due date arrived.
With Yan Qingya helping out at the county hospital, Han Yi first booked a private room for He Yuhan. The room had two beds, making it convenient for the person accompanying her to rest.
He Yuhan was taken care of by Wen Jinyu during the day after she was admitted to the hospital. At night, Han Yixian didn't need anyone else to accompany He Yuhan; he slept in the ward with his wife.
Fortunately, He Yuhan went into labor on the third day after being hospitalized. Her second delivery went even more smoothly; the baby was born shortly after she entered the delivery room.
Even so, Han Yixian was still terrified. He knew that childbirth was like passing through the gates of hell, and even with better medical conditions now, accidents could still happen.
However, two people in her family are knowledgeable in medicine, and He Yuhan usually pays special attention to conditioning her body, which is why her delivery went so smoothly.
This time it was another boy. This made Han Xiao, who had always been worried about the small number of members in the Han family, beam with joy. "Our Han family has gained another boy! Great! We can finally use the name we were thinking of before."
Han Xiao immediately named his grandson. The little guy was called Han Xugan, one of several boy names that Han Xiao and Liu Zhongyi had thought of for a long time. Now it finally came in handy.
Wen Jinyu and Liu Zhongyi were naturally overjoyed to have another grandson. Wen Jinyu hoped that her son and daughter-in-law would have more children, and if possible, she wanted to ask their opinion on having a son with the surname Liu, so as to leave an heir for her eldest brother.
She had never told anyone about this idea. The Han family still had too few children; it wasn't the right time to discuss it.
Although Han Yixian wanted a daughter, he would be just as happy to have a son as well.
Several elders stood in front of the hospital bed where the child was, looking at the sleeping child with his eyes closed, unable to get enough of looking at him.
The three little ones, Gu Huayang, were standing by the bed and were very happy to see that they had another little brother. They all asked when their little brother would grow up and play with them.
Han Yixian was busy wiping his wife's face and hands and feeding her water at her bedside, and he couldn't take care of his youngest son for the time being.
He Yuhan was still conscious and was very happy to know that she had another son.
She looked at Han Yixian, who was busy working, and said, "It's another son this time. Your wish for a daughter has not been fulfilled."
Han Yixian wiped his wife's hands and said, "We'll have a daughter in the future. It's good for her to have a few more brothers to protect her."
He Yuhan immediately understood Han Yixian's meaning: they would have another child.
However, He Yuhan wasn't too opposed to it. In this era, having many children is still considered a blessing. There's no family planning policy now, so having several children isn't a problem.
Having more siblings means the children can help each other in the future.
He Zhenhua was happy for his sister when he saw that she had given birth to another nephew. He sent a telegram to his parents that same day to tell them the good news.
The He family has been enjoying a string of happy events lately. Just a few days ago, He Yuhan's second sister-in-law confirmed her pregnancy. While He Chenglin and his wife are overjoyed, they also feel they can't leave their second son's home. Otherwise, He Zhendong and his wife simply wouldn't be able to manage.
Gu Huayang and He Haobo will be starting elementary school this summer. Although He Haobo is a bit younger, they plan to have the two children go to school together so that they can keep each other company.
Little Xu Rui is still too young to stay at home. But with his little brother, he'll soon have a playmate.
After giving birth, He Yuhan stayed in the hospital for a few more days and went home as soon as everything was fine. During her postpartum period, Wen Jinyu and Han Yixian took great care of her, making sure that He Yuhan could recover as quickly as possible.
Han Yixian was also hoping his wife would recover from her postpartum confinement as soon as possible. He had been a vegetarian monk for a long time during her pregnancy and had been longing to eat meat ever since.
Han Yixian felt that he now had a wife and children, and his parents were also by his side, so he could consider his life fulfilling. As long as he kept his family together, he didn't mind if their living conditions became more difficult in the future.
Han Yixian sensed that the internal relationships within the pharmaceutical factory were becoming increasingly complex, and that several leaders were becoming more and more self-serving. Han Yixian no longer wanted to stay at the pharmaceutical factory.
With the foundation laid by Han Yixian, the pharmaceutical factory might be able to maintain its prosperity for a few more years. However, without subsequent technological support and the continued production of new drugs, relying solely on past achievements is unsustainable.
Those who are short-sighted only see the immediate benefits, but forget that companies without talent and new technologies cannot last long.
The Wang family in Kyoto is taking action, and so is the Chen family. Some families that had previously paid no attention to the small Qianyuan County are also starting to take notice.
In just one or two years, not only has the pharmaceutical factory become increasingly successful, but several other factories, such as the textile factory and the machinery factory, have also improved significantly, almost becoming leaders in their respective industries.
They couldn't let such a tempting piece of cake slip by. The Chen family had originally intended to take revenge on Han Yixian, and this time they joined forces with several other families to cause trouble for Han Yixian and force him to leave.
Han Yixian had already received news that the Chen family, along with several families in Kyoto and Y Province, were preparing to attack him and try to remove him from the pharmaceutical factory.
Han Yixian didn't need to wait for them to make a move; he would simply make way for them, rendering all their preparations futile.
Judging from the current situation, people quickly lost interest in production after he left, and he couldn't predict how long the pharmaceutical factory could last. In any case, it would only be shorter than he predicted.
Han Yi first planned to send his parents, uncle, wife and children to Beili Village, while he would stay in Qianyuan County to handle the follow-up matters, and then go to Beili Village to meet them.
The city may soon descend into chaos; the countryside will be more peaceful.
He Yuhan naturally didn't want to leave Han Yixian alone in the city. She was also afraid that something might happen to Han Yixian. After all, there were quite a few people watching Han Yixian now, and who knew if they would secretly harm him?
He Yuhan said, "Let Mom, Dad, and Uncle take Xu Rui to the countryside first, and I'll stay in the city with the rest of the family to keep you company."
Wen Jinyu was also worried that her son wouldn't be able to take care of himself if they all left. She felt relieved knowing that He Yuhan was looking after them.
Wen Jinyu said, "Let Yuhan stay here, we'll take Xurui with us."
Han Yixian was also reluctant to let his wife leave him, and seeing that everyone advocated that He Yuhan should stay, Han Yixian did not object anymore.
He took some time to drive his parents, uncle, and eldest son back to Beili Village.
Gao Shuwen had already received the news and, along with his family, tidied up the Han family's house so that Han Xiao and the others could move in immediately.
