The sixth day of the lunar month corresponds to February 3rd, 1987, a Tuesday in the Gregorian calendar.
At 10:00 AM, outside the operating room of the special needs building of the main hospital.
A group of people are waiting here, some standing and some sitting.
Li Qiaoyun has been inside for twenty minutes.
Ever since his wife went into the operating room, Wang Jun has been pacing back and forth like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Just now, he was holding onto Director Liu, the surgeon in charge, and kept saying that no matter what, the adult must be safe.
This made Director Liu look at him with new respect.
"Do you have thorns growing on your butt or something? You're such a grown man, can't you be a little more composed? Stop turning around like that, it's making me dizzy."
Uncle Wang finally couldn't hold back any longer.
The old man's intimidating presence was undeniable; Wang Jun shrank back and sat down next to Li Chu.
"That old man is really something. I'm so old, but he still scolds me like a child."
“Scolour him? Go up to him and see if he hits you.”
"Am I crazy? Why would I try this for no reason?" Wang Jun glanced at Li Chu with disdain, then said with a mournful face, "Li Chu, Brother Chu, Brother, it's been so long since he went in, why is there still no movement? I'm really getting anxious."
"Hey bro, it hasn't even been half an hour yet. Normally it would be about another half hour. Be patient."
Besides, your mother-in-law and father-in-law are just as worried as you are. Go talk to them and comfort them. It would be troublesome if your mother-in-law became so anxious that she lay down here.
This reminder made Wang Jun realize that Li Ma's expression was indeed not good. He turned his head and glanced at her.
"Yueyue"
"Father Chu"
"Go to that office over there and get your grandma a glass of hot water."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Come back, give me the child, don't panic."
Little Choubao seemed to be affected by the tense atmosphere as well, and he had been well-behaved and quiet for the past half day.
"Wenxuan"
"dad"
"Go sit in the back with your grandparents, talk to them, talk about anything, and try to distract them."
"Okay, Dad!"
He had just finished making arrangements when two people came running down the hallway.
It was Wang Bing and his wife who came over, carrying a bag in their hands.
"Mom and Dad, Uncle and Aunt, we're here. Big brother, here are some bags of milk powder that Qiqi bought, and some diapers made from old clothes, all washed and scalded. How long has Sister-in-law been inside?"
"About half an hour."
How long will it take to get this out?
"Brother Chu said it would take at most another half hour."
"Brother Chu, Sister-in-law"
"Okay, Qiqi and Xiaobing, please sit down. Don't stand. Where's the child?"
"I don't know where he ran off to. I couldn't find him when I came over, so I didn't bring him with me."
After a brief period of noise, the rest area quieted down again, and everyone sat in their chairs, waiting anxiously.
Inside the operating room, Director Liu was under considerable pressure. Compared to the babies she had delivered before, the pressure today was much greater. After all, the pregnant woman in front of her was an older mother with a less than ideal physical condition. Although she had received treatment, she was still not as healthy as the average person.
The greatest pressure actually comes from those people in the rest area outside.
The guards standing in the corridor were nothing to them; they were commonplace here, and she had even seen them carrying guns.
The people sitting down were different. The old man sat there, and although he didn't say a word, his imposing presence made her feel like she couldn't breathe properly.
Although the woman's husband seemed very nervous, the way he looked at people when he grabbed her earlier made Director Liu feel extremely uncomfortable.
As for Director Li, as a member of the Internal Security Committee, he was also her superior. Today was the first time she had seen this leader with a slight frown, appearing authoritative without being angry.
"Hoo~" Director Liu tried to adjust her breathing and relax as soon as possible. She was the first surgeon to perform a cesarean section.
...
"Squeak"
The operating room door was pushed open, and a nurse appeared in the doorway carrying a package, saying timidly, "Mother and daughter are safe!"
The people sitting on the chairs immediately swarmed around them.
"Don't rush, take a look first. I still need to carry it inside. I'll go back to the ward with the new mother later."
Li Chu remained seated, a faint smile on his face.
His work was finally over.
From the time Li Qiaoyun was found to be pregnant until she gave birth, these nine months were the most stressful for him, as he was always worried about what might happen.
That's good. After they are discharged from the hospital, they will go to the sanatorium to stay with Uncle Wang. He can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu!"
Wang Yueyue leaned over to take a look at her little sister, and then turned around to see her father-in-law sitting there holding the baby.
“I’ve known your dad for fifty-one years. It’s not your turn to thank me.”
“It has nothing to do with my dad; I said it myself.”
"Okay, I received it. Here, take the little rascal over there and let him see his little aunt."
"Haha..." This title made Yueyue laugh; this was her son's own aunt.
...
"Zhu Wen"
"Brother Chu, what can I do for you?"
Ten days have passed since Li Qiaoyun gave birth, and she was finally discharged from the hospital today. Wenxuan just drove them there.
When he left home in the morning, he asked someone to tell Zhu Wen to come to his place. It was almost lunchtime when Zhu Wen finally arrived.
"Help me find another detached house nearby, with clear property rights, and the price is negotiable."
Zhu Wen no longer reacted when he heard that this guy wanted to buy another house.
He even suspected that this guy was planning to buy up every house that was available in that area.
“Brother Chu, what I know is that there is a two-courtyard house, a bit smaller than the one you live in now, and the residents in the courtyard are all planning to sell it.”
"You mean the one behind our house?"
"You know?"
“I’ve heard of it, but their requirement is to find me an apartment. There are seven units in the building, so I need to find seven apartments. It’s really quite difficult.”
"I really don't know about what you're talking about. As for detached houses, let me think if there are any with clear property rights over there."
"No rush," Li Chu said, taking a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and tossing it over.
"Brother Chu, can you get some US dollars here?" Zhu Wen took the cigarette, thought for a while, and then asked hesitantly.
"How so?"
"There's a family in the alley behind you. The old man there wants to exchange some US dollars to send his eldest grandson to study abroad."
Explain yourself.
"The old man from that family doesn't live here. He lives with his eldest son in Xuanwu. It seems that his eldest grandson got a government-sponsored scholarship this year, but as you know, the foreign currency exchange quota he was given is not enough. So he wanted to exchange more for his grandson."
