Maybe the fetal position compressed the nerves, and her calves and below began to swell, and her feet were swollen like steamed buns!
She tried acupuncture, but it didn't work for long, so she gave up.
The due date was getting closer! She drew lots of cute baby clothes and asked Tang's mother to make them according to the designs.
Imagining how the babies would look wearing these clothes, she couldn't help but miss their father again... She wondered when that man would come back?
It had just rained that day, and the sky cleared up in the evening.
She sat next to the flower stand, her hands supporting her bulging belly, and gently told prenatal education stories to the babies.
The gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open and a tall figure walked in.
The man stopped at the door and looked at his young wife under the flower stand from a distance.
He didn't know how to express his longing for her for so many days at this moment! He just felt that just looking at her like this made him feel very satisfied.
"Have I become uglier?" Wen Guoer saw him standing in front of the door, looking straight at her. She lowered her head suspiciously and looked at what she was wearing today.
A pink pure cotton home outfit, with the top made into a baggy T-shirt and wide-leg pants underneath.
Because her feet were so swollen that many shoes couldn't fit her, Tang's mother specially made her wide cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.
It seems that it is indeed a bit dirty...
After hearing what his wife said, Tang Zhan walked towards her.
He threw his luggage onto the stool next to him and leaned over to seal her lips.
"Hmm~" Wen Guoer was startled by the man's sudden behavior and pushed his hard chest.
"Just for a moment!" The man had to stop, panting, whispered something to coax her, and then lowered his eyebrows to look at her red lips.
The long-lost atmosphere lingered around each other, and they both fell in love unconsciously.
"Guo'er! Who's here?" When Tang's mother came out of the room, she saw two infatuated figures.
"Oh, mother!" Tang's mother quickly turned away and said awkwardly, "As for you, you rascal! Can't you just be more patient? Guo'er is still pregnant! If you hurt her, I'll punish you!"
"Mom? Why are you here?"
Tang Zhan was really surprised to see his mother suddenly appear!
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known how crazy you were!" Tang's mother said, rolled her eyes at him embarrassedly, and turned back to the house.
"It's all your fault!" Wen Guoer frowned, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"It's really my fault! Wife, thank you for your hard work!"
Only then did Tang Zhan notice her swollen instep, and his eyes were full of heartache.
When his wife needed care the most, he couldn't be by her side, and he hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and a father. He felt so guilty that it was hard to put into words...
He reached out and touched his wife's ankle, rubbing it gently: "Does it hurt?"
"Don't be nervous, it doesn't hurt at all! It's just a normal reaction during pregnancy! Besides, as long as I can hold on for another month, I can deliver the baby!" Wen Guoer heard the guilt in her tone and pretended to be relaxed.
After saying that, not wanting him to continue to be immersed in self-blame, she urged him, "Go wash up quickly, and trim your beard, it's prickly!"
Tang Zhan then stood up, packed two pieces of clothes, and went into the bathroom.
"Mom, why are you here?" After Tang Zhan finished washing up, his mother brought the food to the table. The three of them sat at the table, eating and chatting.
"I'm worried about you guys! This is Guo'er's first baby, and she doesn't know anything, so I just wanted to come over and take a look! Who would have thought that Guo'er's pregnancy would be so difficult! I figured I'd take care of her after the confinement period first!"
"Mom is so thoughtful! I was worrying about this before!" Tang Zhan swallowed his rice and flattered her loudly.
"Mom, you come to take care of me during the confinement period, what about my third sister-in-law?"
Wen Guoer thought that Zhang Xiaocui's due date was only a few days away from hers. As the saying goes, both the palm and the back of the hand are made of flesh, and she mentioned this in passing, fearing that Tang's mother would be embarrassed.
"She's already having her second child, so she's got experience taking care of children. Besides, don't you still have your eldest and second sisters-in-law at home? Even though they're not very reasonable on a daily basis, they still have some sense when it comes to big things!"
Don't think too much, just focus on taking good care of yourself. You're giving birth to three children this time, so you need to take good care of yourself!"
Wen Guoer felt relieved when she knew that Tang's mother had a plan in mind.
"Okay! Then I'll go back and buy two buckets of milk powder for my third sister-in-law and send them back. If her milk supply is low, it will be there for her in an emergency."
Tang's mother listened to her daughter-in-law's plan and became more and more satisfied with her. She thought to herself, it was really a waste to give birth to four sons. None of them is as considerate as her daughter-in-law!
In the blink of an eye, the dog days of summer passed and the green leaves turned yellow.
Tang's mother looked at Wen Guoer's alarmingly large belly and couldn't help but worry.
"Guo'er, isn't the due date these days? Why don't we stay in that hospital first? If anything happens, it will be easier to deal with it, don't you think?"
"Okay, let's go there when Tang Zhan comes back."
As her due date approached, Wen Guoer couldn't help but feel anxious. Current medical conditions were far too poor! Even if she had great medical skills, it would be difficult for her to heal herself during childbirth.
"Then let's go to the hospital first. When there's any movement, we'll call our in-laws! Your aunt has repeatedly told us not to forget to notify them when the baby is born."
Tang's mother muttered as she began to pack her things for the hospital.
Swaddles, clothes, diapers, bottles, milk powder...three sets of things for the children were prepared.
Tang's mother also prepared a hat, scarf, and thick socks for Wen Guoer...
In the afternoon, the three of them came to the military hospital with bags of various sizes.
"Deputy Captain Tang, is your wife about to give birth?" The head nurse saw them and came forward first.
She still remembered that last time in the disaster area, thanks to Deputy Captain Tang, several medical staff from their hospital were rescued!
"It should be soon! I'll have to trouble the head nurse these days." Tang Zhan held Wen Guoer's arm and said politely to the head nurse.
"You came at the perfect time. There's a double room available, which is much more comfortable than that shared room!"
The head nurse said as she grabbed a nurse and instructed, "Take Deputy Commander Tang to arrange for hospitalization. He'll be arranged in that double room."
Tang Zhan followed the nurse to go through the formalities, while the head nurse guided Tang's mother and Wen Guoer to the ward.
At that time, many hospitals didn't have single rooms, so the double rooms here were considered the best! Wen Guoer knew that the head nurse was taking good care of them.
Several people came to the ward.
A pregnant woman, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, was already sleeping on the bed by the window and looked like she was nearing her due date.
A woman in her forties was standing by, peeling an apple with her head down.
Seeing several people coming in, the woman raised her head, looked them up and down, her face full of disgust, and shouted to the head nurse in dissatisfaction:
"Didn't I tell you not to cram anyone into this room anymore? It's so noisy with so many people! How can my daughter rest well?"
