As for building the bridge, he knew in advance that the county had such a policy, but he was not sure whether it would succeed.
Otherwise, why didn't he remind Andelai before the New Year? Maybe it would have been built by now, wouldn't it be more convenient for them?
An Hongdou stopped chatting with him and walked over to see how the chicken soup was cooking.
After the two of them finished their meal, Shen Xiangzhi went to get her some water to wash.
During the night, An Hongdou got up twice. Her round belly seemed to be beating like a drum. Sometimes a bulge would appear on this side, and sometimes it would be poked on that side. The feeling went from novelty at first to discomfort later.
It was not until the second half of the night when she felt extremely sleepy that she finally fell into a sound sleep.
She woke up again before daybreak.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to feel a slight pain in her stomach.
However, she didn't take it too seriously.
Although few women can actually last the full ten months of pregnancy before giving birth, she is only a little over nine months pregnant, so it should take a few more days for her to give birth.
But An Hongdou overlooked a problem. Twins are prone to premature birth, not to mention that this is her third child.
Since the pain only lasted for a moment and then there was no movement, she just thought it was an illusion of pain caused by the baby moving too violently in her stomach.
When it was time for dinner, An Hongdou hadn't finished her meal yet and her stomach started to hurt again.
This time, it was much more ferocious than the last time, and it hurt so much that the newly bought white flour bun in her hand was deformed.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xiangzhi didn't swallow a mouthful of steamed bun. Seeing that she was obviously in an abnormal state, he asked worriedly.
"I... have a stomachache." An Hongdou's voice began to tremble slightly. This pain was strange, as if it was not just a simple ache.
It wasn't so unbearable that she couldn't bear it, but it was definitely not pleasant.
In fact, it was not as good as the feeling when being scratched by zombies.
"Stomachache? Are you about to give birth?" Shen Xiangzhi panicked instantly, feeling extremely regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Mrs. An to come along yesterday.
He had already told Mrs. An to come back to help in a few days, because he didn't expect An Hongdou to have an attack so soon.
After all, they just got here yesterday. He thought that a pregnancy lasts ten months. Even if Mr. Zhang said that having multiple babies would come earlier, it would take at least nine and a half months to give birth.
Shen Xiangzhi supported An Hongdou, forced himself to calm down quickly, and said: "Hongdou, bear with it for a while, I'll get the things, and we'll go to the hospital now."
The small clothes and quilts he prepared for the child were bought on short notice at the supply and marketing cooperative. When he brought them back, they were already covered with a layer of dust. He didn't know how long the supply and marketing cooperative had been storing these unsold goods.
Fortunately, he had already cleaned them with boiling water and put them all in a small package.
Shen Xiangzhi quickly took the small package and hung it on the handlebar of the cart in the yard. He also brought a quilt and spread it on the cart, then helped An Hongdou lie down on it.
He was about to leave with the cart when he heard An Hongdou suddenly say, "Um...my stomach doesn't seem to hurt anymore."
"I heard from mom that this is labor pain, it's just waves of pain. Anyway, let's go to the hospital first. Mom is not here. If the baby is really born, it's safer in the hospital." Shen Xiangzhi suddenly remembered that old lady An Hong also said that giving birth for a woman is like walking through the gates of hell. Some people can't give birth even after several days of pain, but there are also cases where it's easier than at home. It's just like a hen laying an egg. After giving birth, you can do whatever you need to do without any delay.
But An Hongdou's situation is different. She is pregnant with more than one baby, so he should pay more attention to her.
After becoming pregnant, An Hongdou secretly studied some knowledge about pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum care, so of course she understood these things.
She told Shen Xiangzhi that she was no longer in pain, and also told him not to worry too much.
Chen Xiangzhi wanted to be convenient, so he rented a house not far from the hospital.
I arrived at the hospital within two minutes of leaving the house.
As soon as I entered the door, I ran into the smug Nurse Li who was talking to two young nurses.
After all, she was a woman who had admired Shen Xiangzhi, so she must have had a deep impression of him.
Seeing Chen Xiangzhi helping a pregnant woman in, and their actions were quite intimate, Nurse Li immediately came over and said, "Comrade Chen, what are you doing..."
She was particularly puzzled about the relationship between Shen Xiangzhi and the pregnant woman he was supporting, because she had seen An Hongdou in the past, but if they were not together all day long, it would be really difficult to connect the current An Hongdou with the former black bear spirit.
"My wife is about to give birth. Is there any ward available?" Shen Xiangzhi had a very cold impression of Nurse Li, but he still asked anxiously while supporting An Hongdou.
"Oh, the delivery room is over here, come with me." Nurse Li was still wondering, isn't Comrade Shen's wife the fat and dark one?
Could it be that Chen Xiangzhi is really an adulterer?
Looking at An Hongdou who was supported by Shen Xiangzhi, Nurse Li’s eyes widened in surprise.
An Hongdou's stomach started to hurt again, but even so, she did not ignore Nurse Li's piercing gaze.
"It's right here. You go in first. I'll go find the midwife." Nurse Li left after making arrangements for them.
The delivery room was empty except for the two of them.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, An Hongdou took Shen Xiangzhi’s hand and warned: “When I give birth, no matter what happens, you can’t leave, you must guard the child yourself, understand?”
Maybe she was a conspiracy theorist, or maybe she had been too deeply influenced by TV dramas and novels, but she was just worried.
Especially Nurse Li's gaze and what she had done in the past.
Knowing that Shen Xiangzhi was married, she should stare at him eagerly, but who knows if she will still have feelings for Shen Xiangzhi now?
An Hongdou doesn't trust her.
Shen Xiangzhi was not stupid. Seeing her cautious look, he immediately became alert, "Are you afraid that someone will steal the child?"
In fact, such a thing has never happened before, but he had heard of one case before.
He hadn't remembered it before An Hongdou reminded him, but when she said that, he instantly remembered that thing.
An Hongdou just had that worry in her heart, and was afraid that Shen Xiangzhi would not take it to heart, so she continued: "I don't know either, anyway, my heart is beating fast, and I don't know if it hurts or what, anyway, it's better to be careful, so you should pay more attention."
"I know. I'll take good care of it. Just lie down quickly." Shen Xiangzhi helped her lie down and asked, "How is it? Is it still painful?"
"It's okay..." An Hongdou's expression suddenly changed as soon as she said this.
She...seems to be incontinent!
The stomach pain became more severe. The midwife arrived at this time. She first examined An Hongdou and said, "The amniotic fluid has broken. Family members, please leave quickly..."
