After the postgraduate examination, it was like a holiday. Shen An Ning's belly was big, and Cheng Lao and her senior brothers and sisters at the hospital would not let her go. Her cousin took care of all the matters concerning Hua Yan, so she was completely relaxed. Every day she stayed at home to play with the baby in her belly, take a walk with her grandparents, eat delicious food, and her life was so comfortable.
Every day when Cao Jingheng returned home, he would see a smiling and happy pregnant woman about to give birth.
At 6:30 in the evening, Cao Jingheng pushed the door and walked into the dining room carrying the New Year's goods distributed by the police station.
Shen Anning was having dinner with his grandparents. There were only three of them, so naturally there were no rules at the table. They enjoyed the meal while watching TV. The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which was recently introduced from Hong Kong, was a hit in the streets and alleys. Grandpa Cao was also a fan of Jin Yong, and for this reason he even went through the export channels to buy the latest large color TV.
Ana Shen looked at the man who came back just in time for dinner, "Huh? Why are you back so early today? Isn't the police station busy?"
"Isn't it the end of the year? We'll all take turns taking leave starting tomorrow. Tonight, the logistics department is distributing New Year's goods, so I don't have to be on duty. I'm almost done with the cases I have, so I'll come back early to spend time with you guys."
After the coldness subsided, he walked over to his wife and greeted the little peanut still in her belly. Although he only got a lazy response, Cao Jingheng was already very happy. He was eating in the middle of the meal, and the little guy could still give him a response, which was really a great honor.
Grandma Cao looked at her grandson and said, "Chinese New Year is only a week away, so it's time for you to take a break. An Ning's due date is approaching, but I'm not sure if Peanut wants to come out this year or next."
On New Year's Eve, after eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Shen An Ning was admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Union Hospital. She had made arrangements in advance. There were fewer people in the hospital during the New Year period, so the beds were not so tight. She stayed in a double room, but Shen An Ning was the only one there, so it was very convenient for her to do things.
I stayed in the hospital for a week, but the baby in my belly showed no signs of coming out. The examination results were all normal. My family said that this child is very patient and will definitely be a stable person in the future...
Cao Jingheng: Humph, you really don’t believe a word of it.
After another week of waiting, it was the Lantern Festival.
Early in the morning, the family sent Shen An Ning some glutinous rice balls filled with peanuts and sesame. Shen Zixi and Erbao sat on the bed, watching Shen An Ning eat while talking to the baby in her belly. Shen Erbao had been waiting for his younger brother to come out since the Chinese New Year. He had been waiting for more than ten days, and the flowers had withered.
"Hey, Auntie, when will Peanut come out? He's too unhurried."
"Well, Auntie can't guarantee it either. Maybe today, or maybe in a few days."
Shen Ziyi touched his aunt's belly, stared at it for a while, and suddenly said, "You are not obedient at all. If you don't come out, your brother will not play with you in the future."
Just after Erbao finished saying this, Shen Anning's stomach suddenly moved, "Mom, Grandma, I, I seem to be giving birth."
The feeling of amniotic fluid wetting the pants was very obvious. It was a sudden sign. Not only Shen An Ning, but also Erbao, whose little hand was on his aunt's belly, showed a look of horror. His younger brother would not bear a grudge in the future. It had been such a long time, and he only said it this time.
The people who stayed at home arrived soon. Cao Jingheng had just arrived at the police station and hadn't even sat down when he received a call from his mother-in-law. He quickly ran to the car. His colleagues who were watching from behind hadn't reacted yet. Everyone had been on edge every day during this period, but finally, it could be over after today.
On the way to the delivery room, the bed was surrounded by family members on both sides, and the two young nurses were squeezed in the back. Shen Erbao sat beside the bed, feeling guilty. It was the first time he saw such a scene. Shen Anning comforted him, "It's okay, Erbao, auntie still wants to thank you. If you hadn't spoken, Peanut would have been lazy again. He must want to see his brother. Let you see how well-behaved he is."
"Really? But Auntie, you're in so much pain!"
"Auntie, it won't hurt soon. It's okay. Just wait outside for a while. You'll be able to see your brother soon."
Cao Jingheng held his wife's hand all the time, watching the door of the delivery room close, and then looked at the little guy beside his legs. It turned out that Erbao's words of being naughty could be so destructive. He had said it a lot in the past half month, and the little guy really didn't give him face the most!
The fetus was in the right position, and both Shen An Ning and Xiao Huasheng were in good health. The natural birth process was a bit painful. Even though the baby in her belly was very cooperative, Shen An Ning couldn't help but cry out in pain.
The doctors who delivered her were all greeted in advance by her aunt Shen Yipei. Seeing Shen Anning holding back for a few minutes but still couldn't help but scream, several people couldn't help laughing.
"Your aunt and I even made a bet about when you would scream."
"Come on, An Ning, this is just the beginning. We need to save our energy. Once we have spread all ten fingers apart, we can start exerting force."
"Now follow me. Come, take a deep breath. Let's get used to the frequency of the contractions first. Did you eat enough outside just now? Is there anything you want to eat now? It's best to breastfeed for the first month after the baby is born. You'll have to control your diet then."
Upon hearing that his wife wanted to eat roast duck with chili powder and vinegar, Cao Jingheng was stunned for a moment, "Okay, okay, I'll go out and buy it right away."
The duck slicing chef at Quanjude had never heard such an outrageous request before. "Say it again, roast duck is not sliced, but chopped into pieces, and you also add chili powder and vinegar. No, what kind of local way of eating is this?"
"Master, my wife is about to give birth. Please pick a roasted duck that is a little older. She likes the crispy skin on the outside."
Hearing that it was a pregnant woman's request, the chef also expressed his understanding. They had all been through this before. "Okay, comrade police officer, you are also a loving wife. I will chop it for you, but we don't have vinegar in our store. Why don't you go to the restaurant next door to buy some and put it in a bowl when you eat it. It will be better to dip it in."
When Cao Jingheng hurriedly ran to the door of the delivery room with a bowl, a bottle of vinegar and roast duck, his forehead was covered in sweat.
Shen An Ning went out to eat, and the food was in the rest area next to the delivery room. Anyway, there were many people at home, some helped to hold the roast duck, some helped to hold the chili noodles, and some helped to hold the vinegar bowl. There were also other family members of the mothers waiting on the side. Looking at this posture, they all felt a little ashamed.
Seeing his aunt eating so deliciously, Shen Erbao also tasted it, and the facial features of his whole face were deformed. What kind of strange taste is this?
A whole roast duck, except for the bite that Shen Ziyi ate, the rest went into Shen Anning's stomach. The pregnant woman, who had eaten and drunk her fill, waved her hand and walked into the delivery room very casually.
