Chapter 197197 (Catching Bugs) Two in One
Ding Guo suppressed her laughter and defended her man: "I have no control over the army's affairs."
Li Shumei couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's right!"
She had no ill intentions, she just couldn't help but make a joke.
Seeing Ding Guo picking up a feather duster to clean the loose dust on the bookshelf, Li Shumei hurriedly said, "Don't bother, I'll clean it up later."
Ding Guo: "It's okay, I'll move around too."
Ever since her belly grew bigger, Li Shumei has been responsible for almost all the sweeping, mopping and closing windows. Sweeping the loose dirt is not tiring, and Ding Guo is not completely clueless, so how could Li Shumei do all the work?
After cleaning up, Li Shumei said, "I'll go call and urge them to deliver the goods. It's been such a long time and they still haven't restocked our shelves. If they don't restock, the shelves will be empty."
There were no customers in the bookstore yet, and Li Shumei went to the back again. Ding Guo glanced outside the door and saw that there was no one near the door. She estimated that no one would come in for a few minutes. She walked to the blind spot of the bookshelf, turned on the small speaker and paid attention to the movement outside. She slipped into the space to use the toilet and slipped out again. The bookstore was still quiet.
Ding Guo continued to stroll.
Although there was no one to pick him up now, Ding Guo was not in a hurry to get things out of the space.
Otherwise it would be too obvious, as if the person who supplied her with goods disliked Pei Che. There was no goods when he was around, but there were goods again after he left home.
Aunt Qiao was always worried when she saw Ding Guo riding his bike to and from get off work every day.
Before Pei Che left, he asked Aunt Qiao to pick up Ding Guo, but Aunt Qiao didn't know how to ride a bike, and even if she could, she probably wouldn't dare to take Ding Guo with her.
Ding Guo disagreed. Although she would feel stuffy riding a bike, and the distance from home to work could be walked without any pressure, she was afraid that she would need to go to the toilet on the way. If Aunt Qiao accompanied her, it would be inconvenient for her to enter the space, which would be very uncomfortable. It would be better for her to ride a bike to shorten the time on the road.
As for taking an early vacation, she didn't plan to take it so early. She would wait until the end of this month and then take a vacation in March to go home and prepare for the birth of her child.
Yu Shaofen knew that Pei Che had gone to the military academy, so she came to stay for a few days and told her about the preparations before giving birth and her experience during childbirth.
Aunt Qiao also has experience. In the past two days, as long as the sun is good, she will take out the small clothes, quilts, diapers and other things that she is going to take to the hospital and dry them repeatedly in the sun.
Among those small pieces of clothing were some new and some old.
The old ones were soft, so Aunt Qiao washed them again and scalded them with boiling water. She has been taking them out to dry in the sun frequently recently.
The new one has also been washed and rubbed repeatedly several times.
Whenever the old man was not busy, he would come over, ask about Ding Guo's condition, and stay for a meal before leaving.
At this point, I didn't dare let Ding Guo continue to supplement. He just ate ordinary home-cooked meals every day and ate small meals frequently.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Ding Guo received her February salary and asked for leave from her boss. She would return to work after giving birth and finishing her confinement period.
I felt a bit guilty about it, so before asking for leave, I asked Li Shumei if she wanted to find a temporary worker to replace her. Otherwise, when she took such a long leave, all the work would fall on Li Shumei.
Li Shumei waved her hand and said, "No need. You are not the first one to ask for a long vacation. The one before you went home to give birth to a child. The company didn't hire temporary workers. They had accountants if they were too busy!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but touch Ding Guo's belly and said with a smile: "Oh, the two little guys are coming out soon. Be quick when they come out, don't let your mother suffer."
Ding Guo also patted his belly and said with a smile as Li Shumei said, "Did you hear what your Aunt Shumei said? Don't bother me when the time comes!"
Li Shumei encouraged Ding Guo: "Take your leave seriously, work harder, and try to give birth to two sons in one go."
Ding Guo: ...
Now that she doesn’t have to go to work, Ding Guo begins her leisurely life of waiting for the birth of her baby.
After work, Song Yuling would come over to talk to her and give her a handful of fresh toon shoots and scrambled eggs to eat.
The old man has asked Aunt Zhang to send him off twice.
I fried the eggs once and deep-fried them once.
Ding Guo prefers fried food.
Yu Qian also comes to play on weekends, so I don’t feel bored at all.
Sister Aifeng and Wu Fang from the Huang family also ran home several times.
But Ding Guo didn't expect that Peng Guihua would come from the countryside just in mid-March.
She came here by bus, carrying all her bags.
Peng Guihua knew Ding Guo's approximate delivery time, and she was worried about asking her to wait for news at home, so she simply asked for leave from the team and got a letter of introduction to come to the capital.
She planned to wait until Ding Guo had given birth and finished her confinement before going back.
Ding Guo was both delighted and surprised: "Aunt San, isn't it the time for spring ploughing in the village now?"
It is the busy farming season. Not to mention whether it is easy to take leave, a lot of work points will be lost due to delays.
"What's wrong with earning a few less work points? You are the one with the bigger problem."
How can I be pregnant with two children without my family members here to watch over the births?
Although the Pei family is really nice and takes good care of Ding Guo, and her niece-in-law is also a good person, Peng Guihua still feels that there must be a family member from her mother's family here to serve as the backbone of Ding Guo.
Ding Guo felt warm inside.
She doesn't lack help.
In addition to Aunt Qiao, the old man found another helper, who was about thirty-three or thirty-four years old and named Wang Chunhua.
Ding Guo called her "Sister Chunhua".
She gave birth to three children, who were taken care of by her mother-in-law while she went out to work.
It was Ding Guo's idea to find someone younger. She had two children and it was very tiring to take care of them. Ding Guo was even a little worried that Aunt Qiao wouldn't be able to bear it for too long.
So they found a younger person to help.
However, there was no rush for her to go to work. She came here to get acquainted and chat for a few minutes. She would come over after Ding Guo gave birth.
Yu Shaofen had said before that if she couldn't find a suitable person, she would come and take care of Ding Guo during her confinement.
Aunt Wu Fang also said so.
Of course Ding Guo would not really let Aunt Wu and Aunt Yu take care of her during the confinement period. She could handle it herself.
Even if we really can't find a helper at the moment, Aunt Zhang will come to help.
Now that Third Aunt is here, we have more manpower.
Peng Guihua took some more food.
Ding Guo felt very unhappy. She understood what her Third Aunt meant. She came to take care of her and had to bring her own food.
But she didn't say anything. When Third Aunt returned to her hometown, she would find an opportunity to pour some things out of the space and let Third Aunt take them back.
In addition to food and spare clothes, he also brought a bundle of Chinese toon, a large bag of shepherd's purse, and a basket of eggs.
I don’t know how Aunt San brought these things.
That night, I made shepherd's purse and pork dumplings with Aunt Qiao.
Ding Guo was strolling in the house. She was about to give birth. Apart from the inconvenience caused by her big belly, she didn't feel anything else for the time being. She was just a little nervous psychologically. In order to relieve this tension, she went to harass the system again.
"Mouse, can rice be grown in black soil?"
System: "Host, no!"
Ding Guo: "But we can do it in the future. Can't you load future technology?"
System: “Yes!”
Third Aunt and Aunt Qiao were busy in the kitchen. Ding Guo went back to the inner room, slipped into the space, took out a banana, peeled it and ate it, saying, "After the corn and wheat are harvested, we should focus on millet and sorghum, and also plant some beans."
Naturally ripened bananas are sweet and soft, and the taste is completely different from the artificially ripened and softened bananas. Ding Guo ate three bananas before stopping, feeling unsatisfied.
If I eat any more, I’m afraid I’ll finish my meal.
System: "Okay host, I'll change it after this crop is harvested."
Ding Guo opened the mall and bought some bean seeds and placed them in the living room. He then stepped out, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, cracked a few, and returned to the space.
The system detected the emotional fluctuations of its host and said, "Host, don't be too nervous. I will remind you three days in advance."
Ding Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
But she didn't expect that she would receive a reminder from the system two days later: "Host, the two little hosts will be born in three days, host, you can get ready."
Ding Guo was eating the roast duck brought by Pei Yu at the time. He paused after hearing this, then picked up a piece of duck meat, wrapped it in the pancake, and took a bite.
One day before the due date, Ding Guo took some clean clothes and a bath ticket, and asked her Third Aunt and Aunt Qiao to go to the bathhouse to take a bath together.
On the day of the birth, after breakfast, Ding Guo went to check the things he needed to bring and said to Peng Guihua, "Aunt San, I feel a pain in my stomach. The doctor said before that the twins might be born early. Is this the time for the birth?"
As she was talking, she felt like something was flowing out from beneath her body. She went to the bathroom and saw a slight spotting.
Peng Guihua was so nervous that she kept asking, "Does your stomach hurt? Is there a lot of bleeding?"
Aunt Qiao also said nervously: "I'll make a phone call."
Knowing that Ding Guo was about to give birth, Aunt Qiao had been memorizing the two phone numbers over and over again over the past two days, but now she was in a panic and didn't want to remember anything, so she wanted to take a look at the phone book.
Ding Guo hurriedly stopped her and said, "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little bleeding, it shouldn't be that fast, don't worry, we'll take a car over there, stay in the hospital and call directly from there."
Aunt Qiao: "Can you, can you, can you still walk?"
Ding Guo smiled and said, "She can walk. She just feels a little bit. She definitely won't give birth so soon. Besides, didn't you also say that more movement is good for childbirth?"
But it was obvious that Peng Guihua and Aunt Qiao were still a little nervous. They carried the things and helped Ding Guo to the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital, the doctor checked and said, "It's time to give birth. Please get hospitalized!"
Aunt Qiao called the old man, and after hanging up, she called the military academy using the number Pei Che left for her.
Not long after Ding Guo was admitted to the ward, her amniotic fluid broke. Soon after, the nurse came to check and found that her cervix had already dilated.
The nurse was a little surprised: "Is this your first child?"
First births rarely happen this fast.
Ding Guo nodded.
She could feel her stomach contracting, not frequently and not painfully. However, based on the experience of the woman in the next bed who was experiencing pain during contractions, she also frowned.
However, Yue Hongmei, who was far away in Fengning, felt unwell since she woke up in the morning.
I was teaching my grandson to walk when I suddenly had a stomachache. I quickly put him in the walker, grabbed some paper and ran to the toilet.
The labor pain transferred from the pregnancy-protecting pills turned into diarrhea for Yue Hongmei.
After I finished my meal and went out, I felt stomach cramps again soon after.
"I didn't eat anything this morning, so why do I have diarrhea?" Yue Hongmei muttered and quickly ran to the toilet.
In the capital, the entrance to Dingguo Palace is also opening very quickly.
By the time the old man arrived, she was already preparing to enter the delivery room.
"Guoguo, there are doctors and nurses here, don't be nervous, Xiao Che is on the way."
Ding Guo nodded weakly: "Grandpa, I'm not nervous."
However, the military academy was not close to the city, and at her speed, she would not have the chance to have a sentimental conversation with Pei Che before the child was born.
If things go wrong, by the time Pei Che arrives at the hospital, she might have already given birth and returned to the ward.
Ding Guo's judgment was correct. She even suspected that the two little guys really heard what Li Shumei said to her belly before the vacation.
It was a normal birth, and the battle was over in less than twenty minutes after entering the delivery room, with the brother in front and the sister behind.
It was very fast and smooth, without any hassles at all.
The doctors and nurses who delivered the baby were all amazed. They smiled and exclaimed as the two babies cried one after another, "You are such a pity to have two little babies. It's rare for other women to have a single birth as smooth as you did."
Moreover, the mother was very cooperative. She didn't scream or shout. She just pushed when she was told to. She was so quiet that it seemed as if she was not giving birth herself.
"Congratulations, you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
Ding Guo raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and said, "Thank you, thank you. You have worked hard."
It's not that it doesn't hurt at all. When the baby came out, there was still a little tearing pain in my lower body, but it's bearable.
The two little guys cried loudly, and after crying for a few times, they gradually calmed down with a hum.
The nurse wiped the children clean and wrapped them in blankets, and brought them to Ding Guo to show her: "This is the brother, and this is the sister."
Ding Guo leaned over and took a look: "Two red-skinned monkeys."
But there are no wrinkles, the face is smooth and the scalp is clean.
The nurse smiled and said, "The babies with red skin at birth are getting whiter as they grow older." She added, "The two little babies have long arms and legs. They will grow up to be tall in the future."
"Thank you, I wish you good luck." Ding Guo said with a smile.
The nurse took the child out, but Ding Guo hadn't finished yet.
The old man and Peng Guihua each held one.
The old man was fine. This was not his first great-grandson, and his face showed genuine joy.
Peng Guihua was a little excited. She wiped her eye sockets over and over again, and her heart felt achy with excitement.
The little baby who was sent back to her hometown when she was just one month old, who learned to speak with her and who was helped by her to learn to walk, is now a mother.
When Ding Guo just learned to speak, he called her mother-in-law "Mom". The mother-in-law said beside him, "This is not your mother. Your mother didn't want you a long time ago. Call her Third Aunt."
The two words "Third Aunt" were a little difficult for a child who was just learning to speak, so I just called her "Niang". I called her that for more than a year before I changed my way of speaking after repeated corrections from my mother-in-law.
Aunt Qiao came over and patted Peng Guihua on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "Are you very happy?"
Peng Guihua wiped her eyes again and whispered, "I'm happy, so happy. In the blink of an eye, the little girl back then has become a mother!"
Aunt Qiao looked at the two children and said with a smile, "Both of them look like Ding Guo. Look at their faces, noses, and mouths. You can't tell without opening their eyes."
Peng Guihua glanced at Mr. Pei from the corner of her eye and said hurriedly, "It also looks like Xiao Che."
Although she also looks more like Guoguo.
But the child's great-grandfather was here, so how could we not mention Pei Che, a participant?
The baby was born, and there was nothing to do here for the time being. Aunt Qiao said hurriedly, "I'll go back and cook some chicken soup for Guoguo and boil some eggs in brown sugar water..."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
“It’s my duty!”
The old man asked Xiao He to send Aunt Qiao back to cook for Ding Guo.
Fengning!
Yue Hongmei came out of the toilet for the last time and stood against the wall for a while.
Although my legs were a little weak due to diarrhea and my face was a little pale from the stomachache, somehow my body, which had been feeling a little uncomfortable since I woke up in the morning, suddenly felt relaxed.
There was a strange feeling that everything was over.
"It's really evil!" Yue Hongmei couldn't tell what was wrong, so she shook her head and went back into the house.
Judging from all the problems that have occurred before, it really feels like being pregnant. So the end is... the birth of the baby?
"Give birth?"
The weirdness in Yue Hongmei's heart became more and more intense.
She rested for a while, then went out with the child in her arms.
Pregnancy, birth, who gave birth?
She thought of Ding Guo who was far away in the capital. She had to find that little bitch Ding Tao and ask her about the exact time of Ding Guo's pregnancy and whether she gave birth today.
capital!
Pei Che entered the ward sweating profusely, and saw his wife, dressed in clean clothes, half sitting on the bed, with two tightly wrapped strips lying on her left and right.
"Guo Guo, I'm late, right?"
Ding Guo chuckled and said, "What are you talking about?"
"No, I wanted to ask if the baby was born?" Pei Che was a little confused. He seemed to be unable to react. He felt as if his soul was floating in the sky and he was dizzy.
He had already seen the child, yet he still asked such a question foolishly.
Peng Guihua was amused by him: "Why are you standing there like an idiot? You're a father now!"
Pei Che turned around and asked in surprise: "Third Aunt?"
Peng Guihua couldn't help but roll her eyes: "So you're the only one who saw me?"
The old man did not follow into the ward. He just sat on a chair in the corridor.
At this moment, Peng Guihua is the only one taking care of him in the ward.
Pei Che felt a little embarrassed and blushed slightly: "Aunt San, I'm sorry. I, I didn't pay attention for a moment."
Ding Guo couldn't help laughing. He laughed twice, then felt a little pain in his lower body. He quickly stopped laughing and said, "Pei Che, I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Am I awesome?"
Pei Che: "Awesome! Wife, you are awesome, so amazing!"
Pei Che finally regained his composure. He walked over and touched Ding Guo's hair. His eyes were a little red. He said distressedly, "Wife, I'm sorry for making you suffer!"
When I was in the army, a sister-in-law who lived next door gave birth to a baby at home. I could hear her screams clearly through the wall.
He couldn't imagine the painful look and helpless cries of Guoguo lying alone in the delivery room before he rushed over.
Ding Guo said: "It's OK, the birth was pretty quick, and I didn't suffer too much."
Pei Che knew that his wife was just comforting him. Giving birth is bound to be painful.
Regardless of the fact that there were other people in the ward, he bent down and kissed his wife on the forehead before going to see the child.
"Like you!" Pei Che looked at the child, then raised his head to look at Ding Guo, and said with a smile, "Wife, they look like you. They all look like you."
Peng Guihua was afraid that her niece-in-law would be disappointed that the child did not look like him, so she tried to comfort him: "He looks a bit like you!"
It's impossible that there is no resemblance between the child and his father. When the child opens his eyes, if we look carefully, we should be able to find some resemblance between the father and his father.
But Guoguo and Pei Che both look great. No matter who they look like, they will both be good-looking when they grow up.
Ding Guo winked at him and said, "Guess which one is the daughter and which one is the son? There is no reward if you guess correctly!"
Pei Che looked down with amusement and pointed at the little kid on the left: "This one is a son, right? That one is a daughter."
Ding Guo: “Guessed wrong!”
Pei Che said helplessly: "Wife, they look exactly the same, it's hard to tell them apart."
Ding Guo was just teasing him on purpose. This man was too nervous, even more nervous than she was when she gave birth to a child herself.
Peng Guihua couldn't help laughing, and handed a towel to Pei Che to wipe his sweat: "You are sweating all over, wipe it quickly."
Pei Che hurriedly took it with both hands: "Thank you, Third Aunt!"
Peng Guihua smiled and said, "It's just a polite remark from a family."
After staying in the ward for a while, Pei Che said to Ding Guo, "I'll go tell Grandpa to go back first."
Ding Guo nodded, and Pei Che left the ward.
Ding Guo said to Peng Guihua, "Aunt San, there's nothing to do right now, so you can sit down and have a rest."
"I'm not tired, but you, aren't you tired after giving birth to two children? Why don't you lie down and take a nap?"
Ding Guo was not tired, but he did not sleep well last night. He felt a little tired now, but he did not force himself to stay awake and just lay down.
She took the time to get some sleep. Giving birth was not the end but just the beginning. She would probably have to learn to breastfeed the baby soon, although she didn't feel anything at the moment.
Haozi: "Yue Hongmei is online. She must have realized something and is probably scolding you like crazy."
Ding Guo's breathing gradually became even, and he muttered in his mind: "It's not important, the reward is what's important."
After saying that, he fell asleep.
System: "...I haven't forgotten. It will happen!"
In Fengning, Ding Tao looked at Yue Hongmei, who came to her with a child in her arms, in shock: "My sister gave birth? How did you know, Aunt Yue?"
"I don't know, I'm just guessing." Yue Hongmei said coldly, "Aren't you in contact with her? Go call her and tell me when you're done. I'll be waiting for you here."
Ding Tao was a little surprised.
What happened to this former aunt?
"Guess?"
Ding Tao almost couldn't help but suggest that the former middle-aged woman should have her brain checked.
I feel like I'm not mentally normal.
Yue Hongmei didn't have the patience to talk too much with Ding Tao, and gritted her teeth and said, "Just go if I tell you to go, don't talk so much nonsense, if you don't go I will make a scene here..."
Ding Tao was furious and felt a little overwhelmed: "Okay, okay, I'll go ask."
She turned around and went back to the factory. She came out more than half an hour later and said, "No, how did you guess that? You were teasing me!"
Ding Tao never contacted Ding Guo at all.
She knew Sister Ding Guo's due date, and calculated that it was still ten days away. How could she possibly give birth?
However, Sister Ding Guo should be at home waiting to give birth now. She doesn’t know the phone number of the compound, but Dayong knows it. I will tell Dayong when I get home in the evening and ask him to call and ask what the situation is like at Sister Ding Guo’s place.
Yue Hongmei was surprised: "No birth? Really? When exactly did that ungrateful bastard get pregnant? When is the due date?"
Ding Tao was somewhat speechless and said unhappily, "How can an unmarried girl like me think of asking these questions? I don't know!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the factory.
Yue Hongmei stood at the factory gate for a long time holding her grandson. Ding Guo didn't give birth? Was she wrong? After a while, Yue Hongmei left with the child.
Yue Hongmei is offline again.
Ding Guo was drinking chicken soup while listening to Haozi's report.
Maybe I did think of something, but not much.
Ding Guo didn't care about the small gifts Yue Hongmei brought. She said, "Haozi, ask your leader. The supporting character in the book who never had children has now had two, but the promised reward has not been given yet. Is he preparing some super gift package that will make him rich enough to rival a country?"
