In the blink of an eye, Xia Wen was about to give birth. Except for training, Lu Mufan basically stayed with Xia Wen. Lu Mufan wanted his mother to come a few days in advance to take care of her, but Xia Wen refused to do so.
Xia Wen didn't mean anything else. She felt that it was unnecessary. Lu Mufan was usually there, so even if he was working, it would only take him about ten minutes to get there. She didn't worry about being late. Besides, her parents and aunt were all around, so there was no need for him to come.
If her parents-in-law don't work, she is willing to let them come over. But if they come now, they will have to separate. She doesn't want them to be separated because of this person. Her mother will retire next year. Xia Wen thinks her mother can take care of the children, and it would be fine to have an aunt to help before that.
That day, Xia Wen had just seen her spotting after Lu Mufan had left for a while. She felt that she might be about to give birth, but her aunt had not come yet. She had to endure the discomfort and asked the neighbor to help call Lu Mufan.
Here, Lu Mufan had just arrived at the playground when she heard someone calling her, "Captain Lu, Captain Lu, go home quickly, your wife is about to give birth."
Hearing his wife was about to give birth, Lu Mufan ran out like the wind. No one around him could react in time, leaving the soldiers staring at each other in amazement. What were they doing? What were they going to do? What happened to them when the commander ran away?
Finally, Cao Yang couldn't stand it anymore and could only clean up the mess left by Lu Mufan. "At ease, stand at attention, train as you should. Don't let down the team leader when he's not around."
"yes."
Cao Yang saw that the soldiers were training seriously before leaving, and he had to ask for leave from Lu Mufan. Alas, he really owed him in his previous life.
Because of Cao Yang's leave, Xia Wen's parents also knew that the baby would be born in the afternoon, so they hurried to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, Lu Mufan was waiting outside. The door of the operating room was closed, and the words "Operation in Progress" were lit on it.
"Mu Fan, how is Wenwen?"
"Mom and Dad, I'm not too sure. When I got home, Wenwen said she had spotting. She went straight into the operating room when she came to the hospital. There's been no news since."
"How long have you been in there?"
"Almost an hour."
"Mu Fan, why don't you sit down and wait? It should take a while."
"Mom, it's been an hour since we went in, and the doctor hasn't come out yet. Wenwen hasn't moved either. I'm worried."
"Your worry is useless. This is how childbirth is."
Seeing that the time was getting later and there was still no news, Lu Mufan's voice trembled with worry. He was a man of steel who had never been afraid of going to the battlefield and was always calm in dangerous missions, but at this moment his voice was trembling.
Just when Lu Mufan was about to climb onto the operating room door again, the door opened from the inside and he bumped into the doctor coming out.
The doctor asked the man if he was stupid and what he could hear. "Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping here?"
"Doctor, I'm Xia Wen's husband, and the woman in labor inside is my wife. How is she now?"
"Didn't you see the child?"
"Child? What child? Whose child? I mean, how is Xia Wen?"
"Isn't this the child in my hand? If you are her husband, then this is your child. Both mother and child are safe."
"Then when can I see Xia Wen?"
"I'll be out in a bit. I've already fallen asleep from exhaustion. Prepare some food for the woman in labor to eat when she wakes up, and for your child."
"I don't want a child. I'm waiting for Xia Wen." As Xia Wen was pushed out by the nurse, Lu Mufan ran directly to the bedside. Looking at the sweat-soaked hair and pale face, he felt a little distressed.
The doctor looked at the child in his hands and whispered, "You don't want the child? Are you going to give it to me?"
At this time, Xia Wen's mother stepped forward and said, "Doctor, I am Xia Wen's mother. Please give the child to me."
The doctor handed the child over and left in a hurry, fearing that the child would depend on him. This man was sick, but fortunately there was a normal person at home. He couldn't explain clearly why he wanted to take a child home.
Xia Wen fell asleep after being pushed back to the ward. Lu Mufan didn't go there, but just stayed by her side. It was already evening when Xia Wen woke up. She was woken up by hunger.
Seeing Xia Wen open her eyes, Lu Mufan asked nervously, "Wenwen, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
"I'm fine, just a little hungry. How's the baby?"
"Child? The doctor didn't give me a child? He didn't seem to say anything about the child's condition."
Overhearing the conversation, Xia Wen's parents glanced at each other and rolled their eyes. "Didn't they say anything? It's because you didn't listen that they didn't give you the child? Didn't you want it?"
"Wenwen, the child is here, it's a son, come and see him."
"Mu Fan, don't you take care of the child?"
"I didn't hear the doctor talk about the child. It's not too late to see him now."
Xia Wen opened his mouth but didn't say anything, thinking, "Why are we here if we haven't heard there's a child?" Fortunately, his parents came, otherwise the child would have been lost.
Xia Wen took a look at it and couldn't tell whether it was pretty or ugly. It was just a small ball. But she thought it shouldn't be too bad. After all, Brother Mu Fan was very handsome.
"Mu Fan, I'm hungry."
"I'm sorry, I was negligent. It's already this late. I'm going to buy food."
"Your dad has already gone to buy it. He will probably be back soon."
Just as Xia Wen finished speaking, his father came back with food. "Wenwen, you can only eat light food now. I bought you some red date porridge. I'll ask Auntie to make you some soup to nourish your body when we get home."
"I see."
The other few people ate boxed lunches. They were not picky about food. They ate whatever they could get while on a mission, and the boxed lunches were pretty good.
After dinner, Xia Wen felt drowsy. Maybe he was too weak, and he fell asleep without saying a few words.
"Mu Fan, go out and tell your family the good news tomorrow. They must be waiting anxiously."
"Okay, Mom. I didn't think about it today, but even if I did, I wouldn't be able to think about it. I'll tell my family tomorrow. They'll be here just in time for me to be discharged from the hospital."
"Mu Fan, when you go back, I'll ask my aunt to come over and help you take care of the child and Wenwen. This way, you can relax a little and we can run both ways."
"Okay, Wenwen thinks so too, so my mom will be back in a few days. If you need anything, come over."
"Your parents live far away, and you two have to separate when you come here. We are right here, so why don't we take care of you?"
"Then I'll trouble my parents to work harder."
"We're all family, so it's a bit awkward to say this. By the way, has the child been named yet?"
"Did I? I thought Dad was up early enough?"
Xia Wen's father saw them staring at him and said, "Don't look at me. I'm not up. Your son wants to go by himself."
"Mom, I'll think of something nice when I get home from the hospital."
Lu Mufan felt that he had to come up with a nice-sounding name, one that had to be high-end, classy, and not something like "building a nation and making contributions." That was too tacky, and he even wanted to laugh when he heard it.
Lu Mufan was looking forward to the exciting expressions on his parents' faces tomorrow when they heard that Xia Wen had given birth. Lu Jianguo and the others were really getting anxious. Seeing that the due date was approaching and there was still no news, they thought they would wait for two or three days. Regardless of whether there was any news or not, they would have to go over.
Xia Wen's parents are there, and they can definitely take better care of him than they do, and it's more convenient, but they are also really worried. If they weren't afraid that it would be inconvenient for Xia Wen, they would have gone there long ago.
