"Me?" Xiao Dong immediately waved his hand: "I can't do this. I've never taken care of a child, how could I know these things?"
Jiang Ling was not surprised to hear Xiao Dong say this.
After all, few men take care of children these days.
"Then I'll stay here and help you for a while. Have the driver take Doctor Wang and Doctor Ye to the company, and then have the messenger bring your mother here. Besides, we came to the hospital in such a hurry that we didn't bring all the maternity and baby's things. I'll just ask your mother to bring them along when she comes."
Jiang Ling arranged the matter and turned to ask Xiao Dong for his opinion: "Is this okay?"
Jiang Ling's arrangement was reasonable, so Xiao Dong naturally had no reason to refuse: "Of course."
"That's it," Jiang Ling said. "Doctor Wang, Yun Qiao, you can go ahead. It's troublesome for you to go through so much trouble with me."
"No trouble, no trouble."
After leaving the heated room of the field hospital, Yun Qiao got into the leaky bed of a tractor and shivered all the way. He finally arrived at the fifth company after being frozen into a lump of ice by the cold wind.
Wang Ying's delivery bag was returned to the Dong family. Just as Yun Qiao was about to notify Meng Que's mother-in-law Jiang Yuren to ask her to go to the hospital, the driver drove the tractor directly to the door of the Dong family.
The noise from the tractor engine was so loud that it could be heard clearly from a long distance away.
Meng Que's mother-in-law had sharp ears and ran out of the yard as soon as she heard the noise. She moved so quickly that she was blocking the outside of the windbreak before the tractor even stopped.
"Doctor Xiao Ye, has my daughter-in-law given birth? How come you came so soon?"
"She gave birth. It was a quick cesarean section. She was in the operating room and the baby was born in about an hour."
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"It's a boy, weighing 9.7 jin."
"Tut, tut, tut!" Granny Meng Que said three 'tut' characters in a row: "My Dong family finally has an heir!"
Mother-in-law Meng Que never asked Meng Que a single question from beginning to end. Yun Qiao couldn't help but ask, "Don't you even ask how your daughter-in-law is doing?"
Mother-in-law Meng Que curled her lips: "Isn't it just giving birth to a child? What else can she do?"
“…” Yun Qiao was speechless.
"Doctor Xiao Ye, have you seen my eldest grandson? What does he look like? Does he look like my son?" Grandma Meng Que happily pulled Yun Qiao to her side and kept asking questions, constantly moving closer to her as she spoke. The sour smell in her mouth and the smell of brain oil in her head rushed straight into Yun Qiao's nose.
Yun Qiao frowned at the fumes. She rubbed her nose, stepped back calmly, and said with a smile, "It's hard to tell what a newborn baby looks like yet. You can take a closer look when you get there. Jiang Yuren just said he'll arrange for a messenger to take you to the hospital. Hurry up and pack up the things the child and the adults need and take them over together. This way, you won't have to buy them around the hospital when you need them."
Mother-in-law Meng Que was stunned. "Let me go to the hospital? You're right, aren't you? The baby's already been born, why are you asking me to go to the hospital now?"
"Go take care of Sister Meng and the child!" Yun Qiao said, "Brother Dong doesn't know how to take care of children at all. If you don't go, who will take care of the child?"
"Let Meng Que take care of the child. She gave birth to the child, so she should take care of it." Mother-in-law Meng Que said as a matter of course.
Yun Qiao: "But, but Sister Meng just had surgery. She's in so much pain that she can't even get out of bed. How can she take care of the child?"
"You have to tell her this, not me. Let her figure it out on her own." Grandma Meng Que said confidently, "I'm already so old. After raising my son, do I have to raise my grandson now? There's no such thing in the world. I have no obligation to babysit her child."
