Chapter 118: Granddaughters Are All Money Losers (Page 1/2)
The woman in bed three is called Zhang Xiaofang. She gave birth to a daughter before, and this time she came to the hospital to give birth to her second child. As soon as she was sent to the hospital, the doctor examined her and said that her cervix was four fingers dilated.
Lin Man was so envious. Looking at her condition, she thought she would give birth tomorrow morning.
Zhang Xiaohua cried out in pain, then told her husband Liu Heping, "Daddy, go get me something to eat. I don't have the strength to cry out anymore."
Liu Heping said, "It's the middle of the night, where do you want me to get you something to eat?"
"I don't care, just go get me something to eat right now."
"Ancestor, where do you want me to get you food?"
Lin Man's stomachache finally subsided and she planned to take a nap, but the newcomer actually started arguing with her husband about food.
Huo Qingci was worried that if she continued to make such noise, no one would want to sleep, so he said to Lin Man, "Manman, let me get her an apple."
"Give it to me."
Anyway, she couldn't eat now. Her mother-in-law would bring her breakfast in the morning. When she was really about to give birth, she would just eat some chocolate and drink some medicinal spring water.
Huo Qingci took an apple and two pieces of peach cake from the bag on the bedside table and handed them to the husband of the woman in bed three.
"Here, giving birth is hard work, you should prepare some food for her in advance."
Liu Heping touched his head awkwardly. "She had a sudden attack in the middle of the night. We rushed to the hospital and didn't bring her any food."
"Take it! After we finish eating, the doctor will probably send your wife to the delivery room."
Liu Heping took the apple and peach cake and stammered, "Thank you!"
Zhang Xiaofang didn't expect that the family of bed 2 would be so generous. She smiled and said thank you, then took the apple from Liu Heping's hand and ate it without even washing it.
Before she finished eating the apple, she started to cry out "ouch, ouch". Lin Man was startled by her cry and felt the urge to urinate. With a whoosh, her amniotic fluid broke.
"Qingci, Qingci~!"
"What's wrong, Manman?"
"I'm leaking amniotic fluid."
"I'll call the doctor."
The doctor came over to check and said that everything was fine and the amniotic fluid was not flowing much. She asked the nurse to help Lin Man change the mattress, and Huo Qingci cooperated to help her change into clean pants.
After changing the mattress and pants, Huo Qingci began to transfer his supernatural powers to Lin Man again. Lin Man slept for two hours. At six o'clock, the woman in bed three was sent to the delivery room, and Lin Man woke up in pain again.
Huo Qingci poured another cup of medicinal spring water and gave it to Lin Man to drink. He drank a cup himself in advance. After Lin Man finished drinking the water, he began to transfer his supernatural powers to her.
At half past seven, Xiao Ya entered the ward carrying red bean, peanut, longan porridge and boiled eggs.
"Manman, how is it? How many fingers dilated is your cervix?"
"It's four fingers open."
"Get up and have some breakfast first. Xiao Jie went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a chicken. She'll cook it and bring it to you at noon."
Huo Qingci took the breakfast from Xiao Ya's hand, put it on the bedside table, turned around and said, "Mom, I'm going to ask for leave first. Please help me look after Manman. She has a stomachache, so just rub it gently."
"I know, go ahead!"
Huo Qingci returned to the department to ask for leave. The director learned that his wife was giving birth and specially approved him for three days of leave. Of course, he would not receive any salary for these three days of leave.
Li Mingyu joked, "Doctor Huo, please come back and tell us the good news when your wife gives birth. We are waiting for your red eggs."
Director Xu said, "Doctor Li, isn't your wife going to give birth in three months?"
"Well, when Yingying gives birth, I'll treat everyone to red eggs."
Huo Qingci didn't care. He had two hundred eggs stored in his space, so there was no problem in treating his colleagues to red eggs.

"Okay, I'll send everyone some red eggs when the baby's third birthday comes."
Xiao Ya helped Lin Man get up and wash up, and watched her eat breakfast. At this time, an old lady rushed in and asked Xiao Ya, "Comrade, where are the mother and her family in bed three?"
Xiao Ya had no idea who the woman in bed three was. Lin Man said, "Auntie, the woman in bed three entered the delivery room at six o'clock, and her husband is waiting at the door."
The old lady asked again: "Where is the delivery room?"
"Turn left when you get out of the door and go straight ahead."
Just as Lin Man finished speaking, Liu Heping walked in with a child in his arms, smiling, "Haha, I, Liu Heping, also have a son."
Seeing her son coming back, the old lady rushed to Liu Heping and asked, "Son, what did you say? Xiaofang gave birth to a son for you?"
"Mom, you're here! Xiaofang gave birth to a son for me. Go back and stew a chicken for Xiaofang so that your grandson will have milk to drink."
The old lady twisted her leg and it hurt so much. She was not dreaming. The third son really gave her a lovely grandson.
"Well, I'll go back and kill the chicken." The old lady lifted the quilt and smiled, saying, "It really is a boy. Third brother, you have another one too."
Liu Heping chuckled and said, "Yes, Mom, I have a successor."
"Come and let Mom hold my dear grandson."
Liu Heping handed the child over. The old lady took the child, frowned, and muttered softly, "Why is my dear so thin?"
"Mom, Xiaofang is pregnant and says she's hungry every day. You let her drink sweet potato porridge every day. How can the child grow?"
"Got it. I'll go back and kill a chicken for your wife."
After breakfast, Lin Man decided to go for a walk. The woman in bed 3 had already given birth, but her cervix was only four fingers dilated. If she walked more, she would probably give birth faster.
"I want to walk down the hallway."
"Okay, I'll go with you. I'll wash these dishes when Qingci comes back."
Xiao Ya was about to help Lin Man take a walk outside the ward when the old lady came up to them, holding her grandson in her arms. "Look at how handsome my grandson is!"
Lin Man took a look and found that newborn babies were all ugly, especially those who were as thin as monkeys, with wrinkled skin like little old men and a piece of white vernix caseosa on their foreheads.
Lin Man didn't say anything. Xiao Ya smiled and said, "Your grandson is good-looking."
The old lady smiled and said, "Well, my grandson looks just like my third son. He's a handsome boy."
Then she looked at Lin Man's belly and said, "Why is your daughter's belly so big? Could it be that she is pregnant with a girl?"
Xiao Ya smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words. If my daughter Manman gives me a beautiful granddaughter, I will treat you to candy and red eggs."
The old lady's mouth twitched. It turned out that they were not mother and daughter, but mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Is this person crazy? He actually wants his daughter-in-law to give her a granddaughter.
All granddaughters are money-losing products. The Liu family has several money-losing products. The eldest daughter gave birth to three daughters before giving birth to a son. The second daughter gave birth to a son first, but then gave birth to two daughters in a row. The third daughter gave birth to a daughter first, but then gave birth to a son for the second time.
Xiao Ya accompanied Lin Man out and walked slowly. The old lady turned around and said to Liu Heping, "The mother-in-law of the woman in bed 2, is there something wrong with her brain?"
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. His son has two bars and one star on his epaulettes, and he's a doctor in this hospital."
When the old lady heard that the family of bed 2 was of great importance, she immediately fell silent.
