Shen Xiangzhi noticed that something was wrong with her at the first moment, and asked her with concern, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"stomachache."
As soon as An Hongdou said this, Shen Xiangzhi's eyes widened immediately, "Is she going to give birth?"
He pulled An Hongdou's hand and could tell from the strength she was struggling.
This was not his first time being a father, and with his experience from the last time, he was not at all confused this time.
He quickly stood up, put on his shoes, ran to the window and shouted down, "Mom, Hongdou is about to give birth, you and Changyue should get up and get ready."
"Hey... Hey..." Old Mrs. An responded and told An Changyue to take the things that had been prepared long ago to the car outside. She ran upstairs in a panic.
Shen Xiangzhi had already helped An Hongdou down from upstairs, opened the car door for her to get in, and An Changyue also put the prepared delivery items into the car.
Dabao and the other two also heard the scream. They were already preparing to go to bed, so they hurried downstairs. Erbao had just finished taking a shower and didn't have time to put on any clothes. He was even naked, so he wrapped himself in a small bath towel.
"Mom, mom, is my little sister about to come out?" Dabao was clinging to the car door, his little face full of curiosity.
However, when he looked up, he saw An Hongdou's pale face covered in sweat, and he was obviously feeling very uncomfortable.
Dabao put away the excitement on his face, and his little face turned into a worried look. He kicked his legs and climbed into the car, "Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable? Is your little sister making trouble in your stomach?"
While he was talking, he had already climbed into the car, put his warm little hands on An Hongdou's bulging belly, and said, "Sister, you have to be good and obedient, and don't make trouble for mom, otherwise mom will be very hard."
Since An Hongdou became pregnant, the three of them witnessed how she felt about not being able to eat and vomiting after eating. In the later stages, it was inconvenient for her to walk with a big belly, so the children naturally became more sensible.
I also understand that when they were in their mother's womb, their mother must have been very uncomfortable, but she still gave birth to them.
Mom has suffered so much. If they don’t listen to her, how sad she will be!
"Mom is fine, Dabao, you are the older brother. Dad and grandma are going to take Mom to the hospital now. You have to take good care of your two younger brothers at home, okay?" An Hongdou felt the pain in her stomach like a knife. Fortunately, she had a high tolerance, otherwise she would have screamed.
The pain of childbirth is different from simple pain. The baby in the belly is moving, scratching the flesh in the belly back and forth, which is painful and itchy, but you can't scratch it and you dare not touch it, for fear of hurting the baby in the belly.
He wanted to say that he also wanted to go to the hospital, but Chen Xiangzhi had already carried Dabao down. He didn't have time to say anything to comfort him. He just said to An Changyue: "Changyue, please look after them at night. If we can't come back tomorrow, please make them some food."
"Hey, uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of them." An Changyue said.
Shen Xiangzhi had quickly gotten into the driver's seat, started the car and headed outside.
An Changyue has a lot of brothers and sisters in her family, and all of them gave birth at home. She has seen women giving birth many times. Although she has never seen it with her own eyes, she knows the general process.
Compared to the panic of Dabao and the other two, she was much calmer and told them to go back to bed quickly as they had to go to school tomorrow.
He also promised to take them to see An Hongdou after school tomorrow, and the three little guys then returned to their room obediently.
On the way, An Hongdou's painful expression suddenly faded away, and she said, "I suddenly feel that my stomach doesn't hurt that much anymore."
"This is normal. It will be painful at the beginning..." Mrs. An had given birth to several children herself and had delivered a baby for her daughter-in-law. So when it was her own daughter's turn, she inevitably became nervous.
But she didn't dare to say that the pain would be most severe towards the end, for fear that An Hongdou would be nervous.
Maybe An Hongdou walked too much when she gave birth to Dabao, so she didn't feel the pain and rest. She only knew that the pain started and then she gave birth not long after.
Since the reform and opening up, the nights in Jiangcheng are no longer as quiet as before. There are many night vendors on both sides of the road, adding a bit of prosperity to the streets.
Shen Xiangzhi tried his best to take the deserted road and came to the hospital as quickly as possible. He parked the car, opened the door and helped An Hongdou down.
Almost as soon as she got off the bus, her stomach started to hurt again.
This time the pain was even worse than before, and the fingers that were holding Shen Xiangzhi were trembling slightly.
Shen Xiangzhi simply changed his posture, let her snuggle in his arms, picked her up horizontally, and ran inside, shouting as he ran, "Doctor, my wife is about to give birth..."
After a lot of chaos, An Hongdou was put into the delivery room.
Shen Xiangzhi held her hand, and even though he felt that his hand was about to be broken by her grip, he still did not let go.
"Hongdou, just scream if it hurts, or... you can bite me!" This is how it's played in the movies. As he said this, he stretched out his hand and placed it near her mouth.
An Hongdou suddenly felt aggrieved, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't always been thinking about having a child, I wouldn't have to suffer this much."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." Don't say that it's just his fault now. Even if he has to die, he has to give it.
He wished he could suffer this pain in her place, but unfortunately, he could only believe this idea.
"Let's have another child this time, and never have another one again, okay?" Shen Xiangzhi coaxed her.
Old Mrs. An's eyes were red as she watched from the side, and at this moment she no longer cared about saying anything about having many children and grandchildren and being blessed.
No matter how much blessing she has, it is obtained at the cost of half her daughter's life.
After the pain passed, she was just about to take a break when she suddenly felt a surge of fluid rushing downwards, soaking her pants.
An Hongdou was still very calm at this time, and said to them calmly: "It seems that the amniotic fluid broke..."
Just as Shen Xiangzhi was about to stand up to check, the nurse drove him out, "We are going to deliver the baby, family members please leave first."
The nurse's voice was very steady. There were people coming and going in the hospital all day long, and she was used to many ups and downs.
Chen Xiangzhi had no choice but to be driven out along with Old Lady An.
The moment he went out, his eyes were still fixed on An Hongdou.
The door of the delivery room was closed, completely isolating the world inside.
From time to time, the sounds of women crying out in pain could be heard from other delivery rooms nearby, but An Hongdou remained silent inside, which made the people waiting outside even more anxious.
Not long after, Mr. Shen and Shen Wanhua came over one after another.
"What's going on? Where's my granddaughter-in-law?" Mr. Shen asked hurriedly.
Shen Xiangzhi looked at the tightly closed door in front of him and said, "I'm still inside. Why are you here?"
