Whether he refused or not had no impact on Li Chu's life; he continued to do what he was supposed to do every day.
However, as October drew closer, his mood worsened.
That evening, Ding Qiunan had just finished preparing dinner and was about to call someone to bring it when Li Wenxuan rushed over from the front yard in a hurry.
"Mom, Yueyue seems to be going into labor, her stomach hurts terribly."
With a clatter, the spatula in Ding Qiunan's hand fell to the ground. She didn't bother to pick it up and just wiped her hands haphazardly on her apron.
"Don't panic. Go and have Dazhuang drive the car, and then get all the things we prepared in advance. I'll call your dad; he's in the backyard."
"Okay, Mom!"
As Ding Qiunan shouted, the three families—her sister's house next door, her mother's house next door, and the house next door—all got busy.
Actually, there's nothing much to do. Everything that needs to be prepared is packed, and now that I'm leaving, I can just grab it.
Li Chu also quickly called Uncle Wang's family and Wang Jun's side to inform them.
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang spent several months in the southeast and only returned in early September.
Wang Jun was also transferred back from his previous post.
Then what happened next.
When Wang Jun and Li Qiaoyun arrived at the main hospital on their bicycles, they hadn't even reached the ward door when they heard their daughter's cheerful laughter.
The couple exchanged glances. Didn't she say on the phone that she was about to give birth? Why hadn't she gone into the delivery room yet?
The two entered the ward with doubts, only to find that she had already given birth and come out, not that she hadn't given birth yet.
Wang Yueyue was strolling around on the ground, as if she hadn't just given birth.
"Oh, Mom and Dad, you're here! Come and see your grandson."
Yueyue, who was strolling around the bed, looked up and saw her parents walking in from outside, and quickly said something.
The people who were gathered around the bed looking at the child only turned to the doorway when they heard her words.
Wang Jun and Li Qiaoyun stared blankly into the room, their heads filled with confusion.
"What...what's going on? When did she give birth? She called me just now saying she was still at home and was just getting ready to come over."
"There are so many problems there, hurry up and come see the child, what a leisurely day."
Uncle Wang frowned and scolded his son.
"Hehe, Mom and Dad, we were indeed still at home when Dad called, but I gave birth as soon as I got here. And afterwards, I walked out of the delivery room by myself. Amazing, right!"
Rebirth in the Great Era of Surfing Waves
Wang Yueyue stood by the hospital bed, her hands on her hips and her head held high, looking extremely pleased with herself.
Li Qiaoyun's mouth was wide open at this moment. Her mind was filled with the image of how she almost died from the pain when she gave birth to her daughter. In the end, Li Chu came in blindfolded and gave her an acupuncture, which helped her give birth smoothly.
Why is having a baby so simple when it comes to daughters?
If having children were this easy, then I wouldn't have ended up with only one daughter.
The couple walked blankly to the bedside and looked at the baby who was fast asleep.
Newborn babies are never very good-looking, but because of blood ties, Wang Jun loves them no matter what.
But the thought that the child's surname was Li made his expression darken again.
It's hard to say whether it's male chauvinism or not, but he always felt empty inside because there were no boys around.
Shaking his head to dispel the thoughts in his mind, he joined in the discussion about the children.
With a creak, the ward door was pushed open, and Li Wenxuan walked in carrying two kettles of hot water.
"Mom and Dad, you're here!"
When Wang Jun heard Wenxuan's voice, he realized that someone seemed to be missing from the ward.
He looked up and saw that his parents were there, as were Li Qin and Wang Ziwen, Ding's parents, son, and daughter-in-law.
Huh? Where's Li Chu?
"Wenxuan, where's your dad?"
"Oh, my dad went to the kitchen to stew chicken for Yueyue."
Wang Jun was slightly taken aback. Hey, this Li Chu really treats Yueyue like a daughter.
At this moment, Aunt Wang glanced at the watch on her hand and spoke.
"Alright, Yueyue, get on the bed right now and stop showing off on the floor. Except for Qiu Nan and Wen Xuan, everyone else, let's go back. Those who want to watch can come back tomorrow. Qiaoyun, I remember you've been free lately, right? You can come and take over Qiu Nan's shift tomorrow."
When Wang Yueyue saw her grandmother telling everyone to leave, she became anxious.
"Grandma, I don't want to be hospitalized. I heard from Qiu Nan's mother that she went home overnight after giving birth to Hui and Xuan. I'm fine too, so please let me go home as well."
"Swish swish swish" Everyone's eyes fell on Ding Qiunan.
She felt awkward and could only chuckle before saying, "Auntie, let's just go back later. I can't get a good night's rest at the hospital."
This time, Aunt Wang didn't make the decision to switch careers on her own. She turned to Ding Ma and asked, "Sister, what do you think?"
Ding's mother hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wang Yueyue's expectant eyes and nodded: "Since Yueyue is really alright, let's go back then."
As for Uncle Wang and Dad Ding's opinions, they simply ignored them.
"Yay!" Wang Yueyue would have jumped up if her stomach hadn't still felt a bit bloated.
As a result, her shout woke the child up.
Newborn babies, once they wake up, do nothing but cry.
Ding's mother picked up the baby, patted him twice, and then placed him in Wang Yueyue's arms, who had quickly sat down on the bed, preparing to breastfeed the baby for the first time.
Then, apart from Wenxuan, all the other men in the room consciously left the ward.
They had just stepped into the corridor when Li Wenhui ran over from the other side of the stairwell.
"Grandpa Wang, Grandpa, Uncle Junzi, Uncle, Yueyue... Where is Yueyue? I just went to the delivery room and they said she has already given birth."
As soon as she got off work, she went with Shen Yi to help furnish the new house.
I just got home and entered the alley when I heard from the neighbors that Yueyue was about to give birth and had already been taken to the hospital. I didn't even have time to go home; I hopped on my bicycle and rushed over.
“She’s inside. She’s already given birth. It’s a big, healthy boy. Now you’re an aunt, Wenhui.”
"Ah!" Li Wenhui shouted happily, then realized something was wrong—they were in a hospital room—and quickly covered her mouth.
"Uncle, what are you all doing standing at the door?"
"The baby just cried. We're feeding the baby right now. Go in and check on him."
Upon hearing this, Li Wenhui turned around and ran into the ward.
After Wenhui entered the ward, Uncle Wang said to Ding's father, "How about this, let my car and Xiao Chu's car take you back first."
"OK"
"Junzi, how did you and Qiaoyun get here?"
"Dad, that's a really rare question. What else can we do besides riding bicycles?"
"What do you mean? You can have my car from now on?"
"You must be joking, Dad." Wang Jun shrank back and dared not say another word.
Uncle Wang glared at his son and then said, "Then you and Qiaoyun can continue riding back. Tomorrow you can go directly to Xiao Chu's house to see the child."
