Qin Xiangju put down her chopsticks and said, "Oh, the baby is finally coming out. Come on, let's go to the hospital. Can you walk?"

Lin Yiyi gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, it will hurt a little." It's more painful than her period.

Qin Xiangju put away her things and helped Lin Yiyi walk to the hospital. Although Lin Yiyi had a little stomachache, she could bear it. What's more, she could not only bear it, but also jog. In order to get to the hospital quickly, she tried her best.

The old alley is in the center of the county town, and the county hospital is also in the center, so it is still very fast to rush there from the old alley. As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at the hospital, Qin Xiangju took out various certificates. In fact, in this era, not many women in labor will be sent to the hospital. Those in the countryside will not be sent, and some people in the county town with low ideas will not be sent. So Lin Yiyi was immediately arranged a room.

Lin Yiyi is lying in bed right now, her stomach is heaving and swollen. The doctor said she is not ready to give birth yet.

Lin Yiyi endured the pain, her eyes were red, she wanted to cry but couldn't. Qin Xiangju stayed by her side to comfort her: "Just bear with it, Yiyi, just bear with it, little baby, please come out quickly, you have to be good and don't make your mother feel bad."

Lin Yiyi panted and said, "I...I still hope he will come out tomorrow."

Qin Xiangju: "Ah, then you will have to suffer pain for an entire afternoon and night. Why do you want him to come out tomorrow?"

Lin Yiyi: "Tomorrow is my birthday. If he comes out tomorrow, it will be our birthday on the same day and we can celebrate together."

Qin Xiangju didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You kid..."

Of course, Lin Yiyi did not get what she wanted. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, she gave birth to the baby. The door of the delivery room opened and the doctor came out: "Are your family members here? The baby is born."

Qin Xiangju: "Yes, yes, yes, I am her mother-in-law. How is my daughter-in-law? Is she okay?"

Obstetricians and gynecologists have delivered too many women, and there are not many mothers-in-law like Qin Xiangju who care about their daughters-in-law first. As a mother, she is most impatient with mothers-in-law who only care about their children and not their daughters-in-law. Some mothers-in-law only care about boys. So for Qin Xiangju, she was gentle: "It's okay for pregnant women. You can be discharged from the hospital after two days of rest."

Qin Xiangju breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good... By the way, did my daughter-in-law give birth to a boy or a girl? Is the child healthy?" After the incident with Xiao Jixiang, she was most worried that the child would be born weak. Nursing is one thing, but it's the adults who worry about it.

Doctor: "Girl, weighing 6 catties

, very healthy. ”

Qin Xiangju: "As long as she's healthy, as long as she's healthy, my son will be happy for sure. " Qin Xiangju didn't really care whether it was a boy or a girl. The Qin family had many sons. She had given birth to two or three sons in the Xiao family, and the first and third wives also had sons. Maybe the Qin family didn't lack sons, so the Qin family didn't care much about whether it was a boy or a girl.

The doctor asked, "Why?"

Qin Xiangju: "My son is afraid that my grandson will compete with him for his wife."

Doctor: "...I'm sorry, your daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson. I was just joking with you."

Qin Xiangju: "..." Can a doctor be so naughty? Qin Xiangju suspected that the doctor was joking this time. She looked at her daughter-in-law who was pushed out of the delivery room door by the nurse with disbelief, "Yi Yi, are you okay?"

Lin Yiyi: "I'm fine, Mom, please look at the baby." When the baby was born, the nurse wanted to take the baby out to show her mother-in-law, but she stopped her. After reading many novels, she was worried that the baby would be taken away to the wrong place, so she decided not to let the baby out of her sight. Her mother-in-law would be able to see it anyway.

Qin Xiangju: "Hey, here it comes." She stood beside the stretcher and followed him to the ward, looking at the baby. The skin of the newborn baby was white and tender, and the baby was chubby with his eyes closed. He looked so cute. "This baby looks like the second child, just like when the second child was born."

Lin Yiyi: "...You can tell that, you're amazing." She didn't see that the child looked like Xiao Yu at all. But it seemed that the elders would say that the newborn baby looked like so-and-so.

Qin Xiangju: "Yes, is this a boy or a girl? The doctor said it was a girl, and then told me it was a joke, it was a boy."

Lin Yiyi was a little surprised, but when she gave birth just now, the doctor was very gentle when speaking to her. She was very nervous during the birth, but she slowly relaxed in the doctor's gentle voice. Thinking that the doctor would make a joke, she couldn't help laughing and said, "She is joking with you. It's a boy. There are many boys in the family. I guess he will be very naughty in the future."

Qin Xiangju: "That's right, the second brother also wants a concubine."

Lin Yiyi: "If the second child gives birth to a daughter, it's good to have a brother as the first child. In the future, the sister will have a brother to protect her." Speaking of this, Lin Yiyi couldn't help but remind her son who was still sleeping with his eyes squinting, "Did you hear me, little guy? If mom gives birth to a sister as the second child, you have to protect her well."

Baby: I don’t know. I didn’t hear it. I went back to sleep.

Lin Yiyi gave birth

The child looked healthy, so Qin Xiangju felt relieved. It was almost three o'clock now, and when she saw that her daughter-in-law was fine, she went home to cook porridge.

Qin Xiangju left, and Lin Yiyi held the baby and let him suck her milk. Actually, she had just given birth and had no milk yet, but letting the baby suck more would help the milk come faster.

At about five o'clock, Qin Xiangju came back with some daily necessities and millet porridge.

Qin Xiangju: "Mom asked the doctor, and he said it's better to eat something light, so I cooked millet porridge and boiled eggs for you." As she said that, she poured some warm water for Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi: “Thank you, mother.” The water was still a little hot, but the temperature of the millet porridge was just right, which showed that it had been left there for a while when Qin Xiangju brought it.

After Lin Yiyi finished her meal, she held the baby in her arms and let him suck her milk. She had prepared baby formula before giving birth, which was the same formula that her colleagues had mentioned their own babies were eating. Thanks to her good memory.

Qin Xiangju looked at her actions and asked, "Is the child hungry?"

Lin Yiyi said: "No, I just had a baby and I don't have any milk. Let the baby suck more, and the milk will come faster."

Qin Xiangju: "That's right. After you are discharged from the hospital, I will cook you something to increase your milk production. Chicken soup is a good choice. I know you don't like chicken soup, but you have to drink more for the sake of milk production."

Lin Yiyi: "Oh, I know. Mom, soak the milk powder first. If the baby is hungry and I don't have milk, I can let him drink the milk powder."

Qin Xiangju: "I understand."

There were only the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law in the ward. The bed next door was empty. The two of them chatted casually without worrying about disturbing others. Even when she was feeding, Lin Yiyi didn't have to worry about being seen, otherwise she would feel very embarrassed.

"Sister...Sister, are you in there?"

Lin Dajun is here.

Lin Yiyi pulled up her clothes to stop the baby from sucking milk: "Yes." When Lin Dajun came, he was carrying a thermos bottle. He ran breathlessly and said, "Sister, you gave birth, where is my nephew?"

Lin Yiyi: "Here, how do you know my sister gave birth?"

Lin Dajun: "When I got home, I saw that my aunt-in-law had left me a note." The commune opened a literacy class, and this plan was proposed by Lin Yiyi. The Xiao family would of course support her. Last summer vacation, winter vacation, and this summer vacation, Qin Xiangju attended three literacy classes, which amounted to four months. She knew a lot of words, so when it came to leaving a note, was she afraid that she wouldn't be able to write?

Qin Xiangju: "I left him a note, asking him to bring a thermos with him when he came to the hospital.

I’m worried it’s not enough.”

Lin Yiyi: "Mother is still very considerate."

Lin Dajun: "Sister, my nephew looks so much like me."

When Lin Yiyi heard this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although there is a saying that nephews resemble their uncles, she couldn't see how the baby looked like Lin Dajun or Xiao Yu.

Qin Xiangju: "The child looks like the second child, but his mouth looks like Dajun."

When Lin Yiyi heard this, she immediately looked at Lin Dajun's mouth: "..." Not at all. The baby's mouth is so small, it doesn't look like him at all.

Qin Xiangju: "I will stay with Yiyi in the hospital tonight. Tomorrow I will go back to my hometown and catch an old hen so that Yiyi can drink chicken soup after he is discharged from the hospital."

Lin Yiyi: "You are too tired to go back and forth, let Dajun go by bicycle, you can write down what you need on a piece of paper, and Dajun will take care of it and prepare it."

Lin Dajun: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go. Aunt-in-law, I'll bring you whatever you want."

Qin Xiangju: "Well, that's fine too."

Lin Dajun sat for a while and then left. He was extremely happy that his sister had given birth to a nephew. He counted his own pocket money and thought about what gift to prepare for his nephew.

the next day

Early in the morning, Qin Xiangju returned to her house in the county town and made breakfast for Lin Yiyi. When she arrived at the ward, she saw her daughter-in-law staring at her grandson. She asked with amusement, "What's wrong with Xiaobao?"

Lin Yiyi: "Mom, I just saw him open his eyes, then he closed them again after looking for a while."

Qin Xiangju: "Yes, a newborn baby will open its eyes in a few days, but it will only last for a short time."

Lin Yiyi: "He's so cute. He looked silly when he opened his eyes. He even looked at me for a few times. Does he know me? He should know me, right?"

Qin Xiangju smiled and shook her head after hearing this.

In fact, Lin Yiyi also knows that a newborn baby does not recognize its mother, and it will take three months for a baby to recognize people.

Datang Production Brigade

Lin Dajun went to the Xiao family first to tell everyone the news: "Grandma Xiao, my sister gave birth to a nephew weighing six kilograms, who looks very much like me."

When Grandma Xiao heard this, she couldn't stop laughing: "How is Yi Yi? Is she okay?"

Lin Dajun: "My sister is in good health. She will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. My aunt-in-law asked me to come and get some things. She asked me to bring..."

Grandma Xiao prepared the things that Lin Dajun wanted, especially the old hen, and put them in the backpack.

After leaving Xiao's house, Lin Dajun went back home, and then took his three younger brothers to the county town. Except for Lin Wudi, Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun all carried large and small bags.
