September 23, 1969, 3:00 p.m.
Three days have passed since the due date of the third child of the Xu family, but the little guy still has no intention of coming out.
At this time, in the obstetrics ward of Jingzhou 501 Hospital, Wen Sitian was lying leisurely on the hospital bed, eating yogurt in her left hand and fried chicken legs in her right hand, her little mouth was greasy and she looked extremely cute.
Opposite her, Xu Jianguo and the children were sitting there with helpless expressions on their faces, staring at each other.
"Dad, why hasn't my brother come out yet?" Lele asked while sitting in Xu Jianguo's arms.
Xu Jianguo ruffled the little girl's hair and said with a smile, "I guess your brother is hungry. He should come out after your mother finishes eating the chicken leg."
"Oh, all right then." Lele said, then jumped down from Xu Jianguo's arms and ran to Wen Sitian's bedside. He rested his hands on his chin, stared at her belly and whispered, "Brother, brother, come out when you're full. My brother, my aunts and I are waiting for you!"
Wen Sitian put the last piece of meat on the chicken bone into her mouth, then drank the yogurt in one gulp, and then a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo quickly stood up, helped her wipe her mouth and hands, and then looked at her with a face full of pampering and heartache.
Wen Sitian took Lele's hand and said, "Don't worry, your little brother will be out soon!"
"Well, mom, you have to work harder!"
"Okay, Mom will definitely do her best!"
I don’t know if the time has really come, or if the third son of the Xu family heard the conversation between his mother and sister.
Just as Wen Sitian finished speaking, her brows suddenly frowned.
Xu Jianguo, who was standing by, immediately noticed something was wrong. He gently lifted the quilt and took a look, and found that Wen Sitian's pants and mattress were soaked. He immediately became nervous.
"Daya, your sister-in-law's water broke. Take good care of her. I'll go call the doctor!" Xu Jianguo said to Daya.
"Okay, brother, go now!"
A moment later, Xu Jianguo came in with the obstetrician and gynecologist.
Then he and the children were driven out by the doctor. After a while, the doctor came out of the ward and Xu Jianguo hurried to greet him.
"Doctor, how is it?"
"She's just two fingers dilated. We have to wait a little longer. I came out to discuss with you. Do you want her to go into the delivery room now?"
"Ah? Go in now?"
"Yes, you don't have to worry, we will take care of you, so you don't have to be in a hurry and scare the child." The female doctor said very considerately.
Xu Jianguo naturally believed what she said. After all, when Wen Sitian was admitted to the hospital, she was accompanied by the hospital director Liu Zhijiang and the vice-director Tian Yongjiang. So everyone in the obstetrics and gynecology department, from the director to the nurses, knew about it.
Now when people heard that Wen Sitian's water had broken, a lot of people came.
A woman whose cervix is two fingers dilated is not yet ready to enter the delivery room. She will need to go through several more contractions and dilate a few more fingers before she can enter the delivery room to give birth.
However, in order to avoid any unexpected situations, the director of obstetrics decided to arrange for Wen Sitian to go to the delivery room in advance to wait for delivery. In this way, there would be doctors and nurses around for any problems, and the mother and her family could feel more at ease.
Xu Jianguo thought about it and felt that what the obstetrics director said made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of your wife!"
After the two finished talking, Xu Jianguo led the children into the ward and said something to Wen Sitian.
Because of the labor pains, Wen Sitian's face was a little pale at this time.
When the four maids saw this, they immediately ran to the bed with tears in their eyes.
Even Wenwen, who is always strong, kept wiping her tears with her sleeves after seeing her mother's distress.
Wen Sitian endured the severe pain brought by the contractions, a smile appeared on her pale face, and she spoke out to comfort the little ones.
Xu Jianguo, who was standing aside at this time, was also heartbroken. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that the third child was the last one, and he would not have any more children, no matter what.
After the children had spoken to Wen Sitian, Xu Jianguo walked over, took her hand, and said, "Wife, you've worked so hard. No matter whether this baby is a boy or a girl, this is your last chance. We'll never have another one again!"
“Bang!”
Wen Sitian slapped him in annoyance and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this baby is definitely a boy!"
"Okay, okay, it must be a son!" Xu Jianguo said with a helpless smile.
After chatting for a while, Wen Sitian was sent to the delivery room by the doctors and nurses to give birth, while Xu Jianguo and the children continued to stay in the ward waiting for good news.
Because of the relationship between Liu Zhigang and Tian Yongjiang, and Xu Jianguo's own price was high enough, Wen Sitian's ward was in good condition. It was a high-ranking cadre ward with a separate living room and bathroom.
Time passed quickly. At six o'clock in the evening, the young nurse came to tell Xu Jianguo that Wen Sitian had started giving birth and was in good condition, so he didn't need to worry.
After thinking about it, Xu Jianguo told Daya to take the little ones back to the space for dinner first, and then pick them up after Wen Sitian came out of the delivery room.
The children didn't want to leave at first, but when Xu Jianguo said that they would still need their help after the baby was born, the enthusiasm of the little ones was immediately aroused, and they happily followed Daya back to the space to eat.
In addition to preparing dinner for the children, Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi in the space had already prepared the confinement meals. They were just waiting for Xu Jianguo's order, and then the two would take on the responsibility of taking care of the confinement meals.
…
7:09 in the evening.
Xu Jianguo and the children, looking anxious, had already been waiting outside the delivery room. Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from the delivery room.
The cry was so loud and clear that it immediately dispelled the tension outside the delivery room.
Xu Jianguo and the children also showed relieved smiles on their faces.
"Dad, Dad, is this my brother crying?" Lele hugged Xu Jianguo's thighs and asked with his little head tilted up.
"That's right!" Xu Jianguo rubbed her hair and said with a smile.
"Wow, my brother has a really loud voice!"
Hearing Lele's sigh, Xu Jianguo stopped talking and looked towards the delivery room with a worried look on his face.
The joy of the child's birth was only a moment. After all, there was no affection between him and this little guy who had just come into the world. What he was really worried about was Wen Sitian's condition.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, two young nurses came out holding a little baby wrapped in a swaddle.
