"You are really thoughtful!" Li Zhi praised him twice. Seeing several police officers busying themselves, he pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "There is something I don't know whether I should tell you!"
Director Gong glanced at him and said, "Should I say that you have already mentioned it? Go ahead!"
Li Zhi choked, then rubbed his hands and said, "Xu Dujuan, you still remember it, right?"
Director Gong nodded slightly: "Zhou Xiaochuan's wife. What's wrong?"
"Today, another bullock cart overturned, and Zhang Xiaochuan's wife was sitting on the cart.
The car is pressing on my belly, I don’t know if I can give birth smoothly.”
Director Gong's expression froze: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Li Zhi's eyes flashed with bitterness. He knew how important Zhou Xiaochuan was to Director Gong. "I want to handle this matter and go back to the city with you."
Director Gong took off his hat and walked quickly to the cannery: "You stay here and investigate this matter. I'll be back soon after I take a look."
Li Zhi looked at Director Gong's back as he hurried away and sighed heavily.
When we returned to the cannery, Lu Zhiye was checking the car.
Hearing Director Gong's shout, he looked up in surprise: "What's wrong? Director Gong."
Director Gong panted and said, "Drive me to the county hospital first. Then we can go directly to the next city from the county."
Lu Zhiye nodded and shouted to Lu Yuanshan: "Brother, let's go."
Director Gong's hands were shaking when he got into the car. He picked up the cigarette on the driver's seat and slid the match with great effort.
But it took a long time to light up. Finally, Lu Zhiye couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to take the match.
Director Gong took a long puff of cigarette before he calmed down.
Looking at the scenery outside the window receding, I don’t know what I was thinking.
After a long while, he finally asked in a hoarse voice, "You have been following the pregnant woman you sent over today. How is she doing?"
Lu Zhiye paused while steering the wheel, and suddenly understood why Director Gong was so uneasy.
He said in a deep voice: "The one with the older month is fine, but the one named Du Juan is not in good condition."
Director Gong leaned back and said dejectedly.
"That female comrade is the wife of a soldier under my command.
He sacrificed his life to protect me during a mission some time ago.
I was also seriously injured in that mission, so I transferred to the cannery here.
I want to make it easier to take care of Zhou Xiaochuan's mother and daughter-in-law."
Hearing his somewhat heavy words, Lu Zhiye didn't know how to respond.
After a long while, he said, "They are blessed by fate, and everything will be fine."
Director Gong rubbed his face vigorously and said in a vague voice: "I hope so."
The car finally arrived at the county hospital. When Director Gong jumped out of the car, he almost couldn't stand still. If he hadn't been quick to hold the car, he would have fallen to the ground.
Lu Zhiye was worried about him, so he helped him walk towards the delivery room.
At this time, at the door of the delivery room, Zhou Xiaochuan's mother had a numb expression, her head leaning against the white wall, sitting there motionless.
When he saw Director Gong coming, his lips trembled constantly.
As if he had seen his family, Director Gong pushed Lu Zhiye's hand away and took two quick steps forward.
He grasped Mother Zhou's shaking hand and said, "Aunt Zhou."
"Wow, Xiao Gong, I feel so miserable..."
Director Gong felt heartbroken by Zhou's mother's heart-wrenching cry.
"It will be fine, it will be fine."
I don’t know whether I was saying this to Zhou’s mother or to myself.
Seeing that there was nothing for Lu Zhiye to do here, he whispered something to Director Gong and strode away.
I don’t know how long it was before a loud cry was heard from the delivery room.
Everyone looked up at the same time, and Xu Jianguo rushed to the door.
About ten minutes later, a young nurse came out holding a baby and asked, "Who is Jiang Cuifen's relative?"
Xu Jianguo stepped forward quickly: "I, I, I am her husband."
"It's a girl, weighing 5.8 jins. The mother is in good condition."
"Nurse, nurse, how is Xu Dujuan doing?"
Zhou's mother staggered over and grabbed the nurse's arm and refused to let go.
The nurse hurriedly consoled her, "Teacher Liu is giving the woman in labor an injection to give her the strength to give birth.
Go prepare some brown sugar water for the woman in labor, and wait outside calmly."
The young nurse's words were like a sedative, making many people present feel relieved.
Zhou's mother's heart, which had been in a knot, now relaxed a little.
She happily held Director Gong's hand and said, "Xiao Gong, Xiao Gong, did you hear that?"
Director Gong nodded repeatedly: "It will be fine, it will be fine, don't worry."
It was not until after six o'clock in the evening that the door of the delivery room was opened again.
Liu Dezhi's face was full of fatigue. After rescuing the big ones, he rescued the small ones. Fortunately, he had eaten two steamed buns before coming, otherwise he would not have the strength to hold on until now.
"Teacher Liu, how is my daughter-in-law?"
Seeing the worried look in Zhou's mother's eyes, Liu Dezhi forced a smile: "Don't worry, mother and child are safe.
But the baby is weak from birth, so we need to take good care of him in the future.
The mother has suffered a lot this time, so she should go back and take care of herself."
"Hey, hey, thank you, thank you."
As Zhou's mother was speaking, she was about to bend her legs and kneel down towards Liu Dezhi.
Liu Dezhi quickly supported the man and said, "Look, you are really embarrassing me.
Now the hospital pays me a salary every month, and I do my work in return for the money.
I'll write you a prescription later. Your daughter-in-law must take the medicine during the confinement period, otherwise she will easily develop a chronic illness.
From six months old, children should drink the medicine.
I was born with a weakness that cannot be cured in a short time. You will have to take more care of me in the future."
"That's right, that's right."
Zhou's mother was about to cry with excitement again. Seeing her like this, Liu Dezhi swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue silently.
The next sentence is, if the child is not treated properly, he may not live past the age of six.
If properly taken care of, he could barely live past ten years old.
He was already born prematurely, and the car hit the pregnant woman's belly, so he suffered another severe blow in the womb.
For being able to save the child, Liu Dezhi has to be called a medical genius.
Liu Dezhi sighed imperceptibly and said, "Forget it, let's talk about this later."
He was afraid that if he said this aloud, the old lady would not be able to bear it and would collapse.
When Liu Dezhi walked away, Zhou's mother's stiff body completely relaxed.
Standing in the corner, he clasped his hands together and whispered, “Thank God, thank God.
Da Zhou, you must protect your wife and children over there. May they be safe and healthy.
In my life, even if I die now, I will have no regrets."
Director Gong's eyes were sore and he turned his back and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.
