When he arrived at the hospital, Xu Sui was asking Zhang Yunxiu to help her walk a few more steps in the corridor.
She was a little surprised to see him appear so quickly, "Why are you here?"
"I will definitely come." Lu Chenghuai held her other arm and walked slowly with her.
"Giving birth is not that quick. I will not go into the delivery room until my cervix is dilated." Xu Sui explained with a smile, "I am still fine now."
She did feel good. It must be said that the spiritual spring gave her a great sense of security.
Without it, she might have had to muster more courage to have a child at a time when medical conditions are backward.
The conditions in the military hospital are actually already good. Most hospitals outside don’t even have machines to check for pregnancy, and the pulse diagnosis is done by doctors.
Lu Chenghuai couldn't help but feel nervous.
Even though he didn't have a perfect understanding of having a child, he knew that it was a difficult and dangerous process.
He recalled the screams he had heard in the hospital before, and even felt a little regretful. He held Xu Sui's hand and said, "Let's just have this one child."
Lu Chenghuai was an only child, but before him, Song Yuqing actually had two children. One was aborted, and the other died in the midst of the ups and downs as the country was not yet stable.
Song Yuqing did not hide these from him. When Xu Sui was pregnant, 껩 repeatedly wrote to him or called him to ask him to take good care of Xu Sui.
Lu Chenghuai was initially happy about the birth of the child, but as time went on, he became more and more nervous when he saw the many inconveniences and discomforts that his wife had to endure.
Zhang Yunxiu couldn't help but stop in her tracks after hearing this incoherent remark. She glanced at her son-in-law, but finally held back her words.
She didn't know what to say! Her son-in-law said to give birth to one child! He felt sorry for her daughter, but about this matter... Zhang Yunxiu became the one who couldn't understand it the most among the three.
She inevitably had some old ideas, but at this time, young people had their own ideas. It was impossible for her to ask the young lady at this time, so she simply chose to remain silent.
Xu Sui smiled and didn't respond to him for the time being.
She started having contractions after noon and didn't enter the delivery room until after ten o'clock in the evening.
Lu Chenghuai and Zhang Yunxiu could wait outside. Xu Mian came in the evening and brought some cooked soup, which was more nutritious than the food in the hospital.
But Xu Bing was not at home, and there were three children at home, so she couldn't stay with them all the time. After Xu Sui finished eating, she took the dishes and chopsticks back home.
At around twelve o'clock in the morning, the door of the delivery room finally opened.
When the nurse took the child out, Lu Chenghuai took a quick look and knew that the child was very small and there was some blood on it.
The bloodstain made him feel nervous.
He heaved a sigh of relief only after hearing the nurse say that the adult was safe.
Seeing him staring inside and waiting for his daughter to come out, Zhang Yunxiu took the child and was a little surprised. "This little one..."
Children should not be praised for their good looks, so she held back the second half of her words.
Xu Sui was in real pain.
Even if a woman is healthy and has the help of spiritual springs, the pain of childbirth is still inevitable.
It can be said that the medical conditions in the hospital are better, and if any accident occurs, it can be treated in time.
It is hard to imagine that in most areas, children can be born one after another with just a pair of scissors and a basin of hot water, but in the process, countless lives are wiped out.
When Xu Sui was transferred to the ward, Lu Chenghuai stayed by her side the whole time.
Their child is between them.
Xu Sui couldn't help but poke the soft face, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.
This is the child who is connected to her by blood and will call her mother in the future.
Lu Chenghuai held her somewhat cold hand and asked, "Would you like some water?"
Xu Sui shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm just thinking about a name!"
As for the name of the child, the two had discussed it a few months ago, and they had been asked about it in letters from the capital.
This child was born with the expectations of several families.
Xu Sui wanted to give her a nickname first and then think about a real name later.
In the family compound, names like Tuantuan, Yuanyuan and Gugu are considered good. Some families in my hometown have the custom of giving bad names that are easier to keep, so they would call them Tiedan, Goudan and the like.
Like Shitou, who was almost called "Heidaner" by Shi Hong before, but Du Rantong firmly refused.
"Take your time to think about it. Sui Sui, you should have a good rest first. The doctor said you need to rest." Lu Chenghuai was expecting and happy about the child, but at this moment he paid more attention to the fact that Xu Sui's face looked a little pale. He had asked the nurse for her opinion before and knew that he could let his wife eat some porridge or something like that one hour after the birth, so he went to the stove in the hospital cafeteria to heat up some food.
The porridge was prepared in advance, but Xu Sui took a few sips and didn't want to drink it anymore.
It was already early morning, and in a few hours, Lu Chenghuai would have to go to the military camp to work again. Xu Sui asked him to go back and rest first, but he was unwilling to take a nap.
The next day, Xu Sui was discharged from the hospital.
Giving birth is really not a big deal nowadays. If she continues to stay in the hospital, she will be considered as a capital crime.
Xu Suixiao felt that she was in good condition.
The child's nickname was decided: Mai Bao. April is the time to plant wheat.
The name was given by Mr. Lu's son Lu Tingjing, Lu Jinyue, which came from the poem of a great man.
After taking care of Xu Sui during her confinement, Zhang Yunxiu set off back to Qingshan Brigade.
Before going back, Xu Sui asked her to take a lot of photos, developed them one by one, and asked her to take them back to show her family.
After Zhang Yunxiu left, Xu Sui did not feel uncomfortable taking care of the child.
There was no other reason, Song Yuqing arranged for Aunt Liu to come over.
We are distant relatives, so coming to take care of me won't cause any gossip.
Aunt Liu was a woman who looked very honest, dark, thin and short. It was said that she had been dark since childhood. Her husband used to be a soldier, but he died on the battlefield.
She had no children, so her husband's family would not keep her, and her parents were unwilling to let her stay at home and were eager to marry her off again.
Aunt Liu didn't want to get married again, so she went to ask Lu Tingjing and Guan Cheng냫 for help. Guan Cheng냫 asked her to come to the capital, and at first she took care of the two old people.
After things stabilized, as Lu Duosheng and Song Yuqing were relatively busy, she turned to take care of Lu Chenghuai.
Aunt Liu has been in the Lu family for decades. It can be said that she watched Lu Chenghuai grow up and she likes Mai Bao very much.
She likes cleanliness very much, is a good cook and most importantly, knows how to read, which was taught to her by Guan Cheng.
This time she brought two books with her, intending to follow the methods in the books to raise her children.
