Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Two chapters in one

The next day when Shen Moer asked again, Fu Mingze denied that he had done anything to let her down, and just said lightly that he felt that her pregnancy was too hard, so he couldn't forget it after getting drunk and felt resentful.

Fu Mingze had already made up his mind that he must not reveal even a word to Shen Moer before the child was born.

Shen Moer felt that his explanation was a bit far-fetched, but she didn't believe that Fu Zhiqing would do anything to let her down, so she reluctantly accepted Fu Mingze's explanation. Anyway, if there was something, Fu Zhiqing couldn't keep it a secret from her, and he had to tell her.

Besides, between husband and wife, there should be some room for each other.

For example, she also had something she didn't tell Fu Zhiqing, and she didn't hide it on purpose, it was just difficult to say, and she was just hiding it with good intentions.

Factory Director Shen, based on his own reality, didn't take this matter to heart, and soon put it aside.

After breakfast, Fu Mingze first accompanied Shen Moer to the embroidery factory slowly. Since Shen Moer's belly was getting bigger and bigger, Fu Mingze didn't dare to let her sit on the back seat of the bicycle anymore, and he would walk to and from work every morning and evening. Fu Zhiqing

found comrades in the commune health center to learn a lot about the care of pregnant women and infants. Recently, not only did he walk to and from work with Shen Moer every morning and evening, but he would also take Shen Moer out for a walk from time to time after dinner. It is said that there is a plan to accompany Shen Moer to climb the stairs in the future, which is conducive to a smooth delivery.

This is quite different from the customs in Daliang.

The pregnant women Shen Moer had seen in Daliang were either princesses or noble ladies. Pregnant women were of noble status, and having children was so important. Especially when the baby was about to be born, the maids and servants served them very carefully. Who would dare to let the pregnant women walk around or climb stairs?

What if they fell or got hurt?

However, Shen Moer had been in this world for many years and knew that the medical and scientific level in this world was indeed much higher than that in Daliang. In order to understand and master this knowledge, Fu Zhiqing sent vegetables to the comrades in the health center many times, and was teased by them and the people in the family hospital. Even if she was preparing to welcome the little Fu Zhiqing seriously, she had to cooperate, right? The two said goodbye

at the factory gate. Fu Mingze watched Shen Moer walk slowly into the gate until her back gradually disappeared in the distance. Then he turned the bicycle handlebar, got on the bike and pedaled out. "Our factory director Shen and her husband have a really good relationship." The people in the security room who watched this scene every day couldn't help but sigh. This handsome man and beautiful woman, both of them are young and capable, and their relationship is so good. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are a perfect couple. When Shen Moer arrived at the office, the secretary Xiao Tang had already arrived. He helped her get water and poured her a cup of honeysuckle tea: "Director, this honeysuckle has just been picked and dried. It is said that pregnant women can relieve the heat during pregnancy by drinking a little bit of it." Shen Moer nodded and paused. She felt something was wrong: "The honeysuckle in your team is quite famous, but, this honeysuckle was not asked of you by Fu Zhiqing, was it?" Xiao Tang smiled and said, "Director, Fu Zhiqing asked me for it, but he exchanged it with me for something." Shen Moer did not know whether to laugh or cry. Fu Zhiqing had a solid foundation with his group of people, and he had spies almost everywhere around her. Just as she sat down at the desk, the phone rang. Shen Moer picked up the phone. Chen Jiahua on the other end of the phone first asked about her health, talked about all sorts of things for a while, and then got to the point: "I heard a rumor that the province intends to move the second embroidery factory back to the provincial capital, and the person who is leading this matter is our former factory director, now Deputy Director Jiao of the Industry Department." Two years ago, Director Jiao of the South Province Embroidery Factory went to the Industry Department, and the position of factory director was taken over by Zeng Huiru, who has made outstanding achievements in recent years. Chen Jiahua finally had the opportunity to move up a step and became the lowest-ranked deputy director in the South Province Embroidery Factory team. The Department of Industry manages the industrial enterprises of the entire province and is the top boss of the embroidery factory. They do have the final say on the relocation of a factory. Of course, they also need to coordinate the relationship between relevant departments and cities and counties. However, even if Lingjiang City or Jiangbei County disagrees with the relocation, if the Department of Industry insists on doing so, I am afraid that the lower levels will not be able to stop it. Moreover, the Second Embroidery Factory is located in such a remote small county town as Jiangbei, but its annual turnover far exceeds that of other factories in the provincial capital. Even the provincial leaders may have the idea of ​​whether moving to the provincial capital will be more conducive to the development of the factory. Chen Jiahua knew that Shen Moli did not want to go to the provincial capital, but if the factory moved, Shen Moli would be in a difficult situation. Moreover, "some say that the factory should be moved away, and the main production projects should be moved to the provincial capital, leaving one or two product projects for Jiangbei County, with reduced equipment and workers, just like the original ninth workshop, belonging to the second embroidery factory." The so-called relocation is actually mainly about workers and equipment, especially embroiderers who already have rich experience and certain skills. However, the provincial government thinks that it should be easy for these embroiderers from rural areas in Jiangbei County to enter the provincial capital, and give them certain policy preferences, such as housing, children's education, etc. They must be eager to do so. The workers and equipment have all left, so does it matter whether Shen Moer leaves or not? If she doesn't want to leave, she can stay and continue to manage these production projects in Jiangbei County. After all, it was her own request. Lowering her position and retaining her level is polite enough. If she is willing to leave, many things will be easier to handle in the provincial capital. Chen Jiahua's voice was a little worried: "Since the news can be spread, it is estimated that this is nine out of ten. You should be mentally prepared." Shen Moer frowned slightly. A tall tree attracts the wind. The performance of the Second Embroidery Factory in recent years is indeed too impressive. It is not surprising that someone is thinking about it. She thought of what Liu Yinshuang said before. She was afraid that not only the province, but also people in their factory had their minds floating. "Sister Jiahua, thank you for telling me this. I'll treat you to dinner when I have the chance to go to the provincial capital." Shen Moer said sincerely. Since she met Chen Jiahua, Chen Jiahua has really helped her a lot. "Hey, why are you being so polite to me? Haven't you helped me a lot?" Whether it's embroidery technology or the annual Canton Fair, Shen Moer has indeed helped her a lot in the past few years. Compared with the complicated personnel relationships in the Southern Province Embroidery Factory, Chen Jiahua actually envied the Second Embroidery Factory. The people of the Second Embroidery Factory have been a special existence in the Canton Fair venue in recent years. They dare to think and act, are full of wonderful ideas, and are full of vigor and vitality. Chen Jiahua also hopes from the bottom of her heart that the Second Embroidery Factory can always maintain this state. After hanging up the phone, Shen Moer sat at her desk and thought for a while, then called Xiao Tang in: "Xiao Tang, make some arrangements, let's go to the city." Xiao Tang was a little surprised. Director Shen rarely went out recently. He turned down all the meetings and business trips that could be postponed, and those that could not be postponed were handed over to other deputy directors. Basically, she had entered the stage of preparing for pregnancy and delivery.

In fact, after the development of the Second Embroidery Factory over the past few years, the heads of various departments have also been trained. Shen Moer is a person who likes to delegate power to subordinates, so even if she enters a state of rest, it will not affect the operation of the factory.

For the people in the Second Embroidery Factory, Director Shen is not so much the head of the entire factory as the spiritual pillar of all the people in the Second Embroidery Factory. What she does is not important. What is important is that when they see her in the factory, they will feel at ease.

As a secretary, Xiao Tang was surprised, but did not say much, but quickly contacted the fleet to arrange for a car.

Although their factory is located in such an inconspicuous place in Jiangbei County, their annual export earnings are among the best in the entire Southern Province. The factory is directly managed by the province, and has all the necessary configurations in recent years. The factory currently has a fleet of five large and small trucks, and an official car for the factory leader.

After sending the car, Xiao Tang quickly packed up Shen Moer's personal belongings and took out a small package from the mobile cabinet under the desk.

Shen Moer raised her eyebrows: "So many big and small packages?"

Xiao Tang put the small package into the bag and said seriously: "This was specially prepared by Fu Zhiqing. He said that if you have to go to a meeting or go on a business trip, you can take this with you. There are some small snacks such as biscuits and meat jerky, as well as emergency items such as whistles and matches."

Shen Moer: "..."

Xiao Tang said enviously: "Director Shen, Fu Zhiqing She is so nice to you."

She was a little embarrassed, but she still said it out loud: "I will look for someone as considerate as Fu Zhiqing in the future."

Shen Moer smiled: "Then you have to observe carefully."

When the official car drove out of the gate of the Second Embroidery Factory, Jin Caifei frowned while standing at the office window and watching the car go away. Why did Shen Moer suddenly go to the city at this critical moment?

She didn't go to any meetings or business trips during this period. Today's sudden visit made Jin Caifei feel her heart pounding, as if something bad was going to happen.

Jin Caifei stood at the window for a while, and couldn't help but sit back at the desk and make a phone call to the provincial capital.

"What's wrong with going to the city? As a factory director, it's normal for her to have meetings that she can't refuse, or to report to the city leaders about some work. Besides, she has always been close to that Gu Yangbo. Gu Yangbo is quite young, maybe they are together, hehe."

Mao Jianxin's voice sounded a little distorted on the phone, especially the last obscene laugh, which was particularly harsh to Jin Caifei.

At that time, the two of them came from the province to build a factory together. Mao Jianxin was still a young man with high spirits, ideals, ambitions and pursuits. Jin Caifei actually admired him for a while, and always felt that the two of them were dependent on each other in Jiangbei County.

However, the unsuccessful life in the past few years seems to have destroyed all the ideals and aspirations of this man. He has now completely become the kind of greasy and dirty middle-aged man that Jin Caifei hates very much.

Jin Caifei felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help saying, "Don't spread rumors. We all know what kind of person Shen Moer is. She won't do such a thing."

To be honest, Jin Caifei now thinks that Shen Moer is more suitable for the position of the second embroidery factory director than Mao Jianxin. If Mao Jianxin hadn't left, the factory might not have developed to its current level. Shen Moer is much better than Mao Jianxin both professionally and as a person.

It's just that Shen Moer is unwilling to take the factory to the provincial capital, and she really can't stay in Jiangbei County any longer.

Mao Jianxin sneered on the other end of the phone: "I didn't expect that you, Deputy Director Jin, would speak for her."

Jin Caifei rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Don't talk about these nonsense, you must remember what you promised me!"

"Of course, the premise is that our plan is successful, keep a close eye on it, Deputy Director Jin."

Mao Jianxin hung up the phone, and Jin Caifei was silent for a long time holding the microphone, then he gently hung up the microphone and let out a long breath.

After this day, Shen Moer returned to the state of going to work and leaving work on time every day. She never went on a business trip again, nor did she attend any meetings. Even within the Second Embroidery Factory, there was only a short regular meeting. At the regular meeting, Shen Moer sorted out the things that happened in the next few months again. It was clear that she was ready to leave her job at any time.

Jin Caifei finally let go of her worries.

*

After Shen Moer was due, Fu Mingze didn't even go to the village and stayed at home to take care of her. Shen Moer also arranged her work at the factory and went home to wait for the birth. The couple's daily routine was eating, sleeping, walking, and climbing stairs.

After several days had passed since the due date, Shen Moer still showed no signs of labor, and the two new parents finally began to worry.

"What due date? When I gave birth, there was no need to worry about it. I just went to the clinic when I had a stomachache, and the baby came out soon after. I was lucky, at least the doctor at the clinic delivered me. People in my hometown village all gave birth on their own, or had a midwife to help. It's okay. The baby will come out if it wants to."

Liu Guizhi comforted Shen Moer with her only experience from 20 years ago.

"That's right. When the time is right, don't worry. It may come out at any time."

Shen Yinyin, who came specially to help take care of the baby during the confinement period, also felt that the young people were young after all. Although they were both capable, they were still too inexperienced in matters such as having children. Shen

Moer was relieved when she heard them say this.

In fact, I had never heard of any due date during the cold weather. It was just like what Liu Guizhi said, it was all estimated.

Once she relaxed, Shen Moer felt a little hungry and her mouth was a little craving. She thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat the meat buns from the state-owned hotel."

She looked eagerly at Fu Mingze who was pouring water.

Fu Mingze didn't understand anything. He first poured water into Shen Moer's enamel cup, took a few apricots that she loved to eat recently and put them next to her, and then took the bills and bicycle keys to go to the state-owned hotel to buy buns.

Fortunately, it was not long after breakfast time, and the state-owned hotel just happened to have a few buns left. Fu Mingze simply bought up all the remaining ones.

The people in the state-owned hotel also knew him. He was the husband of an educated youth who was the director of the largest state-owned factory in the county. Anyone from Liuqiao Commune would have heard of this.

Moreover, this educated youth Fu would come every now and then to pack some pickled vegetables since his wife became pregnant.

"Is Director Shen not given birth yet?" The waiter asked curiously while putting the buns into the lunch box that Fu Mingze brought.

Fu Mingze frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "Not yet."

The waiter was also a smart guy. He immediately said, "It will probably be in these few days. Director Shen is a blessed man. Everything will be smooth for sure."

Fu Mingze smiled and said, "Thank you for your good wishes."

He rode his bike into the family compound. As soon as he arrived at the bottom of his building, he heard a commotion upstairs. Fu Mingze's heart sank. He dropped his bike and ran upstairs.

Shen Moer was being carried out by Shen Yinyin and Liu Guizhi, one on each side. When they saw Fu Mingze, Shen Yinyin shouted, "Xiao Fu, Moer is about to give birth. Hurry up, get someone to support her. I'll go get the prepared things."

Fu Mingze hurried over to help. Shen Moer was still holding it in at first, until she leaned into Fu Mingze's arms, she grabbed his strong arms and whispered, "Fu Mingze, it hurts."

Fu Mingze was so distressed that he hugged his daughter-in-law with his slightly trembling hands. The woman's body almost held her in her arms, and she said softly: "I know, bear with it, we will go to the health center right away, I will help you walk down slowly, okay?"

Shen Moer nodded, a thin layer of sweat on her forehead: "Let's go quickly."

Fu Mingze was actually very nervous, and he was helped downstairs in a daze the whole time, and then he went to push the tricycle that he had borrowed from someone in the morning, first using worn-out clothes to pad it, and then helped people up.

The tricycle pulled Shen Moer, Liu Guizhi and Shen Yinyin, and it should be very heavy, but Fu Mingze didn't know where he got the strength from, facing the bright white sun in the summer morning, and pedaled to the entrance of the health center in one breath.

"Oh, Fu Zhiqing's clothes are all wet."

Liu Guizhi got off the tricycle and saw that Fu Mingze's back was almost completely wet.

Fu Mingze wiped it off casually: "It's okay, let's go in quickly."

The three of them helped Shen Moli off the tricycle. Someone in the health center had already come out to greet her: "Is Director Shen going to give birth?"

As soon as she entered the door, Shen Moli was arranged to lie on a gurney, and then she was directly pushed into the production room.

In recent years, the Second Embroidery Factory has expanded its factory buildings, recruited more and more workers, and some of the commune's infrastructure has also been repaired and updated.

For example, the commune health center, originally there were only a few doctors, and usually they treated people with headaches, fever, diarrhea, and heat stroke. In the past two years, not only has the building been expanded, but several new medical and nursing graduates have been recruited. There are now delivery rooms, operating rooms, and more than ten inpatient wards.

It can't be compared with the county hospital, but it is also complete, and it is much better than ordinary health centers.

After all, there are more permanent residents in Liuqiao Commune now, and with more people, there must be higher professional requirements for the health center.

So, the establishment of the Second Embroidery Factory in Liuqiao Commune was not just to provide more opportunities for recruitment. The schools, clinics, supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned hotels, etc. in the commune also developed and “changed their weapons”.

Even the buses to the county town, which used to run on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 2nd, 4th and 6th schedules like other communes, have now become fixed buses in the morning and evening.

This is beside the point.

After Shen Moli was pushed into the delivery room, Fu Mingze was stopped outside by the nurse: "Family members are waiting outside."

Fu Mingze frowned: "Can't I go in and accompany her?"

The nurse looked at him and said, "Women in labor need a hygienic and sterile environment. Look at you, you're sweating all over. You must have been covered in dust along the way. What if you get the woman infected?"

Fu Mingze was rarely choked and speechless for a long time. After a while, he nodded: "I'll wait outside."

After the nurse went in, Fu Mingze stared blankly at the door of the delivery room. The door was obviously well soundproofed, and he should not be able to hear any sound from inside, but Fu Mingze inexplicably had an illusion that he heard Shen Moli screaming in pain.

Thinking of how she had just held his hand and refused to let go, the usually calm person was now confused by the pain, and her eyes were full of grievance and vulnerability when she looked at him. Fu Mingze felt as if someone had grabbed his heart, and it was both bitter and painful.

"How is it, how long have you been in there?"

Shen Shaoyuan hurried over. He was going to work as usual. When Fu Mingze and the others were leaving, he called a helper from the family compound to inform Shen Shaoyuan. After he got the news, he quickly asked for leave from the factory and came over.

Shen Yinyin went home to stew chicken soup. Liu Guizhi stayed outside with her. Hearing this, she said, "It hasn't been long since she went in, probably only about twenty minutes. It's still early. It's the first baby, so it won't happen that quickly. It's considered fast if the baby is born before dark."

After thinking for a while, she said, "But Director Shen's stomachache came on quickly. She was eating apricots and suddenly it started to hurt."

Shen Shaoyuan nodded, walked to the door of the delivery room, and stared at the delivery room with Fu Mingze.

Fu Mingze turned his head and looked at him: "Dad."

Shen Shaoyuan was shocked by his appearance. This kid usually had a blank expression and looked calm, but now his eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry. If Liu Guizhi hadn't said that Moer had only been in for about 20 minutes, Shen Shaoyuan would have thought that his daughter had a difficult birth and that was why his son-in-law looked so half dead.

He patted Fu Mingze and comforted his son-in-law with a rare smile: "Don't worry, Moer has been in good health since she was a child, and everything will be fine."

Fu Mingze nodded silently.

The waiting time always seemed to be particularly long. I don't know how long it had passed. Fu Mingze subconsciously knew that it should not be long, but it felt like a long time had passed. Suddenly, there was a sound of a bed being pushed past in the corridor. Fu Mingze seemed to be suddenly awakened and turned his head to look over.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's an empty bed. There are not so many pregnant women and patients in our hospital."

Liu Guizhi couldn't help laughing when she saw him being startled. It was really funny to see this usually calm man getting nervous!

She smiled and said, "I think you two should stop blocking the door of the delivery room. It will only take more than an hour. It's impossible for it to be that fast. You will get tired standing like this. Sit aside for a while. When the people come out, you will have the energy to take care of them, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the delivery room suddenly opened. The nurse came out holding a blue cotton swaddling cloth. Seeing Fu Mingze and Shen Shaoyuan, the nurse was startled, and after a pause she said: "Are the family members of Director Shen here? Is it you?"

Shen Shaoyuan immediately said: "It's us, that's us."

The nurse stuffed the swaddling clothes in her hand into Shen Shaoyuan's arms: "Hold the child, the mother will be out soon, you get ready and send her to the ward."

Liu Guizhi was so shocked that she could fit an egg in her mouth: "No, so soon, the baby has been born?!"

The nurse smiled and said, "Yes, Director Shen's cervix seemed to have opened a lot before she came here, so her stomach hurts so much. It's probably different for everyone. Director Shen has a good physique and the delivery was very smooth. The first child was almost as fast as the second and third children of others."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the delivery room, leaving the three people stunned.

Shen Shaoyuan was stiff, holding the soft swaddling clothes.

When he lowered his head, he saw a white little face. The little guy closed his eyes, had long eyeliner, pink lips, and moved his hands tucked into his cotton clothes. Then he blinked his eyes and started crying.

Shen Shaoyuan: "..."

He turned around and stuffed the swaddle into Fu Mingze's arms: "Your child, you as a father should comfort him quickly."

Fu Mingze looked at the child in his arms. The little guy looked at him with his eyes like black glass. The crying gradually stopped. He sucked his mouth. He still looked hungry, but he didn't cry anymore.

Although he knew that the child couldn't see him at this time, Fu Mingze had an inexplicable illusion that he was making eye contact with the child.

This was his and Mo'er's child.

Liu Guizhi came over and took a closer look: "This child is really good-looking, with black and shiny hair and curled lips. She is really born with a beautiful face."

She suddenly paused and said: "By the way, did the nurse just say whether it is a boy or a girl?"
