Upon receiving this message, Lu Ze was stunned for two seconds.
After realizing what had happened, he became unusually calm, got out of bed, went to the closet to get clothes for Yu Yao to change into.
While changing clothes, he inquired about Yu Yao's condition.
His voice was hoarse but calm and composed. If it weren't for his trembling hands revealing his true state of mind, Yu Yao wouldn't have known that her childbirth had put so much pressure on him.
Yu Yao said, "Don't worry, I've only just started having contractions, I won't give birth anytime soon. Go tell Mom and Dad first, then help me wash my hair."
She had just showered before going to bed, but her hair was washed yesterday. After getting pregnant, she had to stay in confinement and couldn't get wet. If she had to stay in confinement for two months, not washing her hair or taking a bath for two months would be the death of her.
Washing before giving birth will at least help for a longer period of time.
Lu Ze got out of bed and first helped Yu Yao to sit down and rest on a chair in the main room. Then he went to wake up Wu Wanying, Cui Zhizhou, and Hu Lingyu.
"Mom and Dad, Zhizhi is about to give birth."
Amidst the chaos of war, the elders rushed to check on Yu Yao's condition.
Hu Lingyu had given birth four or five times and was experienced. After asking Yu Yao a few questions, she roughly guessed her situation. "The contractions have just started, and there's still some time before delivery. Don't panic, let's prepare first."
“My mother-in-law is right,” Wu Wanying quickly beckoned Cui Zhizhou into the house. “We’ll go get our things. Lu Ze, you wash Zhizhi’s hair first. We’ll be right there.”
I prepared the things the pregnant woman and the baby would need a month in advance, just in case such a sudden situation occurred and I would forget something in the rush.
Hu Lingyu: "I'm going to the kitchen to make something for Zhizhi to eat."
"I'll go pack Zhizhi's clothes." After saying that, Wu Wanying turned and walked towards Lu Ze and Yu Yao's bedroom.
Yu Yao called out to her, "Mom, I put the ginseng in the first drawer of the bedside table, don't forget to take it."
Hopefully, I won't need it.
"I understand, I won't forget."
Everyone worked together in an orderly manner, each preparing their own tasks.
After Lu Ze helped Yu Yao wash her hair, Hu Lingyu cooked eggs and shrimp for Yu Yao, and the hot stewed beef was also ready.
"Mom's cooking smells so good, I'm so hungry." Yu Yao ate while waiting for Lu Ze to dry her hair. "Luckily, I specially saved some beef last night, it's so delicious... um..."
Lu Ze panicked, "Did I pull your hair, or does it hurt again?"
Yu Yao took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said, "I'm fine, the child just kicked me. I'm okay now. I'm still not full, Mom, give me another bowl of beef."
Hu Lingyu went to the kitchen to serve her some food, while Lu Ze continued to dry her hair.
In the end, everyone else in the family was extremely nervous, but Yu Yao, the pregnant woman, was the calmest.
After drying her hair and finishing their meal, the family, carrying bags and bundles, rushed Yu Yao to the hospital.
As it turns out, no matter how well prepared you are, you'll still be flustered when you actually need to use it.
I forgot something on the way to the hospital and had to go back twice to get it.
It was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Lu Ze was worried about Yu Yao walking, so he simply carried her.
Fortunately, the military hospital was not far from the compound. He usually did a lot of weight training, so Yu Yao's weight was not heavy for him.
Cui Zhizhou carried the Nile net, which contained a washbasin, foot basin, toothbrush, toothpaste, enamel mug, and other items, and walked in front, holding a flashlight.
Lu Ze carried Yu Yao behind him, while Hu Lingyu and Wu Wanying carried two bundles containing newborn supplies on their backs, walking on either side of Yu Yao.
Cui Zhizhou led the way, saying, "Lu Ze, there are many stones on the ground, so walk slowly."
"Okay, Dad." Lu Ze pulled her up a little and said gently to Yu Yao in his arms, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. I'll carry you and run faster."
Yu Yao tightened her grip on his neck. "I'm not uncomfortable. Just take it slow."
Wu Wanying was a little worried. "Lu Ze, if you can't carry him anymore, ask your dad to do it. Don't try to be strong."
Hu Lingyu, however, was well aware of her son's abilities and comforted Wu Wanying: "Mother-in-law, don't worry. If he can't even lift Zhizhi, who is only this heavy, then he should have someone else sit in his place as the island's top commander."
Surprisingly, although Yu Yao was pregnant with twins, apart from her belly, she was only slightly fuller than before her pregnancy and didn't gain much weight.
This is all thanks to the two mothers. The baby was too big, and the mothers not only suffered during pregnancy, but also faced greater danger during childbirth.
Especially since Yu Yao is carrying twins, she must carefully control her diet.
The two mothers went to great lengths to ensure that Yu Yao ate enough nutrition without overeating.
In the entire compound, no other woman who was pregnant received such care from her mother-in-law and biological mother.
The family arrived at the hospital, explained the situation to the nurse, and the nurse led them to the ward.
An elderly woman who had just arrived to visit relatives didn't recognize Lu Zeyu Yao. Seeing this, she asked the person next to her, "Whose daughter-in-law is that? If you didn't know better, you'd think she gave birth to a golden nugget. Why are you so nervous?"
"Isn't he a golden nugget? Didn't you see the one holding the pregnant woman? That's Lu Ze, the youngest regimental commander on the island. He's famous in our compound for doting on his wife."
As soon as she mentioned it, the old lady knew. Every military family member who came to the island knew about these two people.
She looked on with envy, saying, "A country girl has married into such a family. Once she gives birth to a son, she'll enjoy endless blessings for the rest of her life."
The young girl waiting to get her medicine couldn't help but interject, "What's wrong with a country girl? Comrade Yu is no less capable than Commander Lu. She's the role model for all the young women in our compound. She's beautiful, capable, broad-minded, and helpful. Commander Lu is truly blessed to have married Comrade Yu."
