Chapter 304 Little Peach is Scared
"Grandpa Jiang, we will take good care of Haitang. You should wait for news at home!" Shi Shulan advised.
Old Master Jiang shook his head firmly: "Shu Lan, I can't stay here and wait. Stop trying to persuade me and just let me go to the hospital!"
Although he knew that the Lu family was very kind and would not abandon his granddaughter at a critical moment, he still wanted to be with her in person at this time to feel at ease.
Just as the preparations were in a chaotic yet orderly state, there were sudden sounds of brakes and footsteps outside the gate!
A tall, dusty figure carrying a suitcase suddenly pushed open the gate and strode in.
It was none other than Lu Liangchen!
There was sweat on his forehead and his eyes looked around anxiously.
After seeing Jiang Haitang being supported by He Wanyi, he threw down his luggage bag and rushed over, holding Jiang Haitang's hand tightly, "Tangtang, I'm back! I'm sorry, I'm almost late!"
His voice was a little hoarse from the rush, but it was filled with immense heartache and relief.
He traveled almost day and night and finally caught up!
Seeing her husband suddenly appear in front of her, Jiang Haitang's forced calmness instantly collapsed. A mixture of grievance, dependence and peace of mind made her eyes red all of a sudden. She grabbed his big hand tightly with her backhand, as if she had found her backbone.
"Liangchen...you are finally back..."
"I'm back! I'm back! Don't be afraid, I'm with you!" Lu Liangchen's voice was extremely firm. He carefully half-supported and half-hugged his wife and looked at He Wanyi: "Mom, is the car ready?"
"Alright, alright! Liang Jin has already asked Xiao Li to drive the car to the door! Let's go!"
Without saying a word, Lu Liangchen picked up Jiang Haitang and carried her horizontally, then walked towards the door with steady but extremely careful steps.
Jiang Haitang buried her face in his chest, which smelled of worldly yet extremely familiar, and the pain seemed to ease a lot.
The group rushed to the hospital.
Before completing the formalities and sending her to the delivery room, Lu Liangchen always held Jiang Haitang's hand tightly, kept wiping her sweat, and whispered encouragement to her.
His arrival brought peace to Jiang Haitang's originally panicked heart.
Because Mr. Jiang insisted on coming to the hospital, Mr. Lu finally accompanied Mr. Jiang.
This is a military hospital. The doctor knows both Mr. Jiang and Mr. Lu. Seeing these two big men appear in the hospital together, the doctor was shocked at first. Later, he found out that it was Mr. Lu’s granddaughter-in-law who was giving birth, and then he understood.
However, people are still wondering why Mr. Jiang also appeared in the hospital when Mr. Lu’s granddaughter-in-law gave birth.
Some people even brought up the rumor that Mr. Lu was going to adopt Lu Liangchen to Mr. Jiang. Some even said that he might not be adopting a grandson, but a great-grandson.
No matter what the medical staff in the hospital were talking about, outside the delivery room, the entire Lu family was sitting or standing, waiting anxiously.
Lu Liangchen was even more restless, pacing constantly, with his ears perked up, catching any movement in the delivery room.
Every time he heard a slight sound from inside, his heart tightened.
"Grandpa Jiang, you and grandpa should go and have a rest first. I just asked the hospital to open a vacant ward." Knowing that the two old men would not leave so easily, Shi Shulan found a way to ask the hospital to open an empty ward.
There are several young children in the family, so Lu Liangjin and Uncle Lu stayed at home, and the others are still staying in the hospital.
The two of them were really unable to hold on due to their age, so after looking at each other, they went to the ward together.
"Big Boss's wife, you guys stay here and if you have any news, come and tell us."
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I promise to come over and tell you the good news as soon as possible."
The two old men then went to rest.
Time passes by every second.
Finally, when it was almost dawn, a loud and powerful baby cry was heard in the delivery room!
"It's born! It's born!" Shi Shulan immediately became alert and shouted loudly.
The people waiting outside the door were instantly cheered up and all stood up.
Shi Shulan remembered the promise he had made to the two old men and immediately rushed to the ward where they were resting to look for someone.
At the door of the delivery room, a nurse came out holding a swaddling baby with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, it's a big fat boy! Mother and child are safe!"
Everyone gathered around in an instant.
Lu Liangchen was the first to rush over, but not to see the child. Instead, he anxiously asked, "Nurse, where's my wife? Why hasn't she come out yet?"
The nurse didn't expect that Lu Liangchen would come not to see the child, but go directly to the woman in labor.
"The mother will be sent back to the ward immediately, please be patient!"
Lu Liangchen finally felt relieved after hearing the news.
He Wanyi held her grandson in her arms and said to Yuan Yinan beside her, "Look, this kid is really good-looking."
"Liangchen, come here and hold your son. Let's go to the ward to wait for Haitang." He Wanyi looked at her son staring at the door of the delivery room and hurriedly called him.
"Mom, I'll wait for Haitang here. She'll be sad if she doesn't see me when she comes out."
While a few people were talking, the two old men had already come over accompanied by Shi Shulan.
When Jiang Guozhu saw the little guy, his hands even trembled a little.
He Wanyi knew that Mr. Jiang probably wanted to hug the little guy, so she smiled and handed the little guy to Jiang Guozhu.
Jiang Guozhu glanced at He Wanyi, then carefully took the small, wrinkled baby.
Looking at the new life in his arms with its eyes closed and smacking its lips, the eyes of this man who had never shed tears on the battlefield instantly became wet.
This is his blood relative!
"Good, very good, very good!"
After seeing his great-grandson, Jiang Guozhu finally remembered, "Where's Haitang? Why hasn't she come out yet?"
As soon as the voice fell, the nurse said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, the mother is doing well, just tired. She is resting and will be pushed out soon."
Jiang Guozhu finally felt relieved and looked down at his great-grandson.
Lu Liangchen only glanced at his son, then looked up at the door of the delivery room, with the worry in his eyes undisguised.
"Liangchen, it's okay. The nurse said you're fine." He Wanyi shook her head slightly and said to her son.
When Jiang Haitang was pushed back to the ward, although she was tired, she was still in good spirits.
Lu Liangchen immediately brought the child to her and let her see it.
"Haitang, look, our son looks like you." His voice was so gentle that water could drip out of it.
Jiang Haitang turned her head to look at the little guy beside her, her heart filled with indescribable happiness and satisfaction.
She gently touched her son's little hand, and the soft touch made her heart melt.
Such a tiny thing is her blood relative.
It’s great that she has another blood relative in this world besides grandpa!
After dawn, Xiao Taozi was brought to the hospital by Lu Liangjin. When she heard that her mother had given birth to a little brother, Xiao Taozi was extremely happy.
She stood on tiptoe, curiously looking at the tiny "brother" on the crib, and whispered, "Mom, my brother is so small. When can he play with me?"
This sentence made everyone laugh.
"When your little brother grows up a little, he can play with Xiao Taozi." Jiang Haitang said gently to Xiao Taozi.
Xiao Taozi took out a piece of candy from her pocket and put it next to the little guy: "Mom, this candy is for my little brother. I saved it specially for him!"
He Wanyi picked up Xiao Taozi and handed the candy next to the baby to Xiao Taozi, saying, "Little brother is still too young to eat candy, so Xiao Taozi will eat it."
Little Taozi obviously couldn't understand why the little guy couldn't eat the candy. She looked at him for a long time and asked, "Grandma, is it because my little brother's mouth is too small to eat the candy? Can I let him bite off half of it?"
The little girl couldn't think of any other reason except that the little one was too young to eat candy.
Ho Wan-yee said: "He can't eat candy until he grows up. He can only eat candy during the Chinese New Year next year."
After hearing this, Xiao Taozi felt quite disappointed. Does it really take so long?
However, children's moods always change quickly. Although she felt sorry that the little brother took so long to eat the candy, she soon became happy again and kept circling around the little guy.
The little guy might be hungry, and suddenly he started crying loudly.
Xiao Taozi was startled and quickly took a step back, looking at He Wanyi blankly.
"Grandma, it's not me..." The little guy was obviously scared.
He Wanyi didn't expect that Xiao Taozi would be so scared because of a baby crying. She immediately looked at Jiang Haitang with a questioning look.
However, Jiang Haitang didn't know why Xiao Taozi reacted so strongly.
"Xiao Taozi, don't be afraid, your brother is just hungry." Jiang Haitang pulled Xiao Taozi over and said to her with a gentle smile.
Jiang Haitang's milk had not come in yet, so He Wanyi made milk powder for the little one.
Jiang Haitang was able to talk to Xiao Taozi patiently.
"My brother is crying..." Xiao Taozi stammered.
"It's normal for children to cry, Xiao Taozi, don't be afraid." Jiang Haitang took Xiao Taozi's hand and asked, "Why are you afraid of children crying, Xiao Taozi?"
"Mom, before, when my little brother cried, my aunt would beat Xiao Taozi, saying that Xiao Taozi was not nice and made her brother cry. But Xiao Taozi didn't..."
Jiang Haitang was shocked when she heard Xiao Taozi say this.
Xiao Taozi was only three years old when she was taken to the textile factory. Logically, children under the age of three should not remember anything, but this incident still caused such a big reaction in Xiao Taozi after such a long time. It can be seen that the memory of that time was too deep.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Tao. It's normal for children to cry. They might be hungry, or they might have peed or defecated and feel uncomfortable. It's not Xiao Tao's fault."
"Mom believes that our little Taozi loves her little brother very much, right?"
Xiao Taozi immediately nodded heavily and said, "Mom, I will protect my little brother!"
At this time, He Wanyi's milk powder was also prepared. After drinking the milk, the little guy stopped crying and began to suck milk with his little mouthful moving.
Looking at the little guy who didn't even open his eyes, Xiao Taozi stared with her eyes wide open, almost unable to believe it, covering her mouth and said, "Mom, really, little brother, don't cry anymore."
Seeing Xiao Taozi like this, Jiang Haitang would be lying if she said she wasn't sad. Xiao Taozi had suffered so much in those years.
"Liangchen, we must be nice to Xiao Taozi in the future and not let her suffer any more grievances." Jiang Haitang said to Lu Liangchen.
"We won't let her suffer any injustice. Our daughter deserves the best." Lu Liangchen held his daughter and sat next to Jiang Haitang.
"Mom, what's my little brother's name?" Little Taozi thought of this question and asked.
When they heard this, everyone remembered that the child didn't have a name yet.
