Chapter 159

Xu Wen wondered, "What's wrong, doctor?"

This doctor had been in charge of Xu Wen's prenatal checkups. She was a very responsible female doctor. She raised her gloved finger for Xu Wen to see and said calmly, "You're bleeding! Go to the hospital right away!"

Two days before the expected date of delivery, we simply moved directly to Pengcheng.

She booked a suite in a top-star hotel.

As a result, the child was slow to move.

After the examination, the doctor told Xu Wen that the baby had entered the pelvis and that she could go to the hospital when she started bleeding. He also told her to exercise more.

So every day, accompanied by Dongsheng and Xu Qie, Xu Wen had to walk for at least half an hour.

Xu asked: "..."

I breathed a sigh of relief but started to get nervous again.

The doctor took off his gloves and muttered, "It feels like I was stabbed in the back."

Her voice was very soft, but the room was too quiet and Xu Wen still heard it.

Xu asked: "..."

In order to reduce the embarrassment, she took the initiative to ask: "Doctor, when can I give birth if I see blood?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. It depends on how fast your cervix opens." After thinking for a moment, he added, "I just checked and your cervix hasn't opened yet."

Xu asked just to ease the awkwardness and he didn't really want to ask.

Zhu Meizhen, who accompanied her for the examination, had to help her with the hospitalization procedures.

Xu Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, should we go home and get something first?"

Zhu Meizhen slapped her forehead and said, "Look, I was so anxious that I forgot something so important. But I have to get it. The child's quilt, your cotton-padded clothes..."

She walked out while muttering.

Xu Wen followed.

Zhu Meizhen turned around and saw him and got anxious. "Why are you following me? You wait in the hospital. This place is so close to home. I can just go back and pack my things."

Xu asked: "..."

"Mom, the doctor said the cervix hasn't opened yet. The first child doesn't develop so quickly. I want to go home and take a bath."

Zhu Meizhen knew that Xu Wen always liked to be clean, so she had to support her, complaining: "If you wash and clean now, you will sweat all over when you give birth later, right?"

The two returned to the rented yard. Zhu Meizhen ran around to clean up, while Xu Wen took a shower.

After Zhu Meizhen had packed up, she sent Chunsheng to Sang Xiaoqing.

After a while, everyone came back.

Xu Wang, Sang Xiaoqing, Xu Wen and others were all there.

Xu asked: "..."

"Are you guys out of business?"

Xu Wang waved his hands, "Business can be done anytime. How can you be absent from such an important event as giving birth to a child?"

Sang Xiaoqing nodded: "We wrote a note on red paper saying that the store will be closed for two days because of a happy event in the family and posted it on the door."

Because it is about giving birth, it is not appropriate for men to accompany.

Xu Qiushi and Xie Dechun were responsible for taking care of the children at home.

Xu Wen rode his pedal wheel to take Xu Wen and Xu Wang to the hospital first, and then took Zhu Meizhen and Sang Xiaoqing over.

Xu Wang was sent first because he could read and could help with the hospitalization procedures.

The new Pengcheng Hospital is still under construction, and the conditions of the old hospital are not very good, but it is already the only hospital in Pengcheng with an inpatient department.

The new hospital had just been built and was not yet in use, so Xu Wen had no choice.

Fortunately, the doctors and nurses are very enthusiastic.

Xu Wen was admitted to the hospital smoothly.

Zhu Meizhen, Sang Xiaoqing and Xu Wang had all given birth to children, and they surrounded Xu Wen and chattered about their experiences in having children.

Xu Wen, the only male, listened quietly and looked at Xu Wen, a little dazed.

The little girl who followed her brother around and called him all the time when she was little is now going to be a mother.

Time is unforgiving.

Until midnight, Xu Wen could only open his penis to five fingers, and it didn't feel very big.

The contractions became more regular, but not too painful.

Xu Wen was still not used to bothering others, and kept urging them to go home and rest, but unfortunately they refused to leave.

Zhu Meizhen took some fruits with high sugar content and tried to feed her, saying that she would have the strength to have a baby if she was full. This reminded Xu Wen of another famous saying by an internet celebrity: Only when you are full can you have the strength to lose weight.

Unfortunately, she couldn't eat it.

Xu Wangze sat next to Xu Wen, repeatedly asking her if she was thirsty, wanted to drink some water, was in pain, and wanted to call a doctor. Or he would wipe the nonexistent sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief.

Sang Xiaoqing suggested that Xu Wen could get up and walk around more if he couldn't sleep. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, it would help with delivery.

This is what the doctor said.

Xu Wen knew rationally that they were doing this for her own good, but in reality, she didn't want everyone to be around her. "How about you all go to sleep for a while? I should sleep for a while too?"

Zhu Meizhen: “…”

Xu Wang: “…”

Sang Xiaoqing: “…”

Zhu Meizhen's mouth was still so fast, "You can still fall asleep with your fingers spread out?"

I definitely can’t sleep.

Xu Wen would of course not admit it, and blinked: "Sleep for a while, and rest well so you can have the strength to give birth to a child, right?"

There was no way for anyone to refute this and everyone could only follow Xu's advice.

Xu Wen leaned to the side and closed his eyes.

There were not many people coming to the hospital to give birth in 1980, so Xu Wen was temporarily treated as a single room with several other beds in the room.

Afraid that Xu Wen wouldn’t be able to sleep well, Xu Wang even turned off the lights.

Without the care of my family around me, other emotions began to magnify in the darkness.

She wanted to go on a long journey.

No matter how close the person is to me, no matter how lively the surrounding is, I still miss him.

It would be great if he were with her at this time.

I happened to have a contraction. I don’t know if it was the darkness that amplified the pain, but it felt much more painful than before.

I felt inexplicably aggrieved and tears quietly flowed down my face.

She hasn't seen him for two months.

However, Xu Wen soon lost the mood to feel wronged and wanted to go on a long journey.

The contractions became more frequent and more painful.

This kind of pain is not like being pricked by a needle or cut by a knife. It is an indescribable pain that makes people very irritated and uncomfortable.

Xu Wen gradually curled up his body, arching his back like a cooked shrimp, grabbing the bed sheets with both hands, enduring the pain again and again.

Suddenly, a hand touched her forehead.

Xu Wen was shocked.

Then I heard Xu Wang's worried voice, "I heard your breathing is not right! Let me ask, are you in pain? Why are you sweating?"

The ward has never been a suitable place for sleeping. Zhu Meizhen and Sang Xiaoqing were just sleeping lightly, but they woke up when they heard Xu Wang's words.

Sang Xiaoqing turned on the light in the room again.

Xu Wen's eyes, which were used to darkness, felt uncomfortable when they were pierced by the sudden light, so he closed his eyes.

Zhu Meizhen came over and also looked concerned: "Does it hurt a lot?"

Xu Wen shook his head habitually.

"You kid! You've been like this since you were little, your teeth are so stubborn! You don't like to talk even when they hurt. Even when you're crying, you're still shaking your head!"

Xu Wen raised his hand and wiped the tears from his face, "It was the light that illuminated it."

His voice was hoarse as soon as he opened his mouth, which was totally unconvincing.

Sang Xiaoqing hurried to call the doctor on duty.

The hand silk that Xu Wang had been holding for a long time finally came in handy. She carefully wiped the sweat off Xu Wen's forehead.

Zhu Meizhen went to the public bathroom and fetched a basin of warm water. Xu Wang squeezed out a handkerchief and carefully wiped Xu Wen's arms and back.

Zhu Meizhen's face was not relaxed, and she kept muttering: "Giving birth to a child is like walking through the gates of hell! It hurts, and there is no other way. No matter how painful it is, you have to endure it, and it will be fine after giving birth!"

Listening to Zhu Meizhen's almost noisy mumbling and being properly cared for by Xu Wang, Xu Wen felt that the pain seemed to be less severe, and there was a sense of warmth mixed with the pain.

Lu Yuanzheng's absence undoubtedly made her very sad, but the company of her family gave her courage and strength, letting her know that she was not fighting alone.

The doctor came quickly and after the examination, he said, "It's seven fingers dilated. Let's go to the delivery room."

The moment Xu Wen entered the delivery room, he subconsciously turned around.

The end of the corridor was empty, and the journey was long but nothing happened.

As expected.

But it is inevitable that there is still a little disappointment.

After dilation to eight fingers, the contractions are almost too frequent to be described.

The pain was so severe that Xu Wen could not sit still.

The doctors and nurses asked her to wait in the delivery room for a while.

They have to prepare first.

Xu Wen put his hands behind his back and bit them, then bent over and knelt on the edge of the bed.

She is not comfortable in any position.

Once I got on the delivery bed, the pain became more intense.

The doctor who delivered her baby repeatedly emphasized to her the correct way to push.

The nurses also encouraged and comforted her enthusiastically.

"It's almost there! It's almost there! The uterus is fully open!"

"Come on, follow my lead and take a deep breath! Inhale, exhale!"

"Push harder! Not with your arms and legs, but with your lower abdomen."

“…”

Xu Wen bit his eyes, not sure whether it was sweat or tears that blurred his vision.

It hurts so much!

The pain was so severe that she didn't want to give birth anymore.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but for Xu Wen, it was so long that she almost wanted to give up.

After the brain receives this signal, it transmits it to the body simultaneously.

"Eh?" The doctor patted Xu Wen's face. "Comrade, come on, try again. It's almost there! I can see the baby's head."

Xu Wen was not encouraged. The doctor had said this no less than five times.

Besides, she really had no strength left.

At first she didn't know how to use her strength and she used it in the wrong places. Now her limbs were sore and painful, and she was shaking all over.

The medical staff were also a little anxious.

They looked at each other, both looking unhappy.

If you delay any further, you might need surgery.

From normal to caesarean section, suffering twice.

The older doctor asked Xu, "Comrade, giving birth is indeed very hard. But you must work hard now! Otherwise, both you and the baby will be in danger! If you continue like this, you may need surgery."

Xu Wen became a little anxious when he heard this.

Is the caesarean section level in 1980s good enough?

But it was no use no matter how anxious she was. She didn't know if it was because she was not helpful or the child was lazy, but there was no progress.

Time passed minute by minute, Xu Wen was already exhausted, but the child was still not born.

The doctor who delivered her also tried to help her.

Finally, the elderly doctor sighed and told the nurse: "Prepare for the operation! Take the operation form and ask the family to sign it."

Difficult birth.

If this continues, neither adults nor children will be saved.

Xu Wen was almost semi-conscious and had no time to protest.

At this moment, a male voice suddenly came from outside the delivery room.

"Xu Wen, I'm back!"

Xu Wen burst into tears, raised his head, and cried out with all his strength: "Lu Yuanzheng, you bastard!"

The delivery room was quiet for a moment.

Then the medical staff took action.

Xu Wen only heard the older doctor say, "Wouldn't it be better if you had done this earlier?"

Xu Wen's moment just now was like a moment of last breath, but now he couldn't move a single finger.

After a while, I heard a baby crying like a cat.

Xu Wen struggled to open his eyes. In his blurry vision, he saw a blood-stained, wrinkled baby in the nurse's arms.

"Congratulations! You've just had a baby!"

Xu Wen completely fainted.

Before falling into the darkness, the last thought in my mind was that Lu Yuanzheng, that bastard, finally got what he wanted!

When Xu Wen opened his eyes again, it was already 10:00 p.m.

"woke up?"

A familiar voice sounded above my head.

The words “I’m back” I heard in the delivery room were not a dream.

Lu Yuanzheng really rushed back at the last moment.

Xu Wen curled his lips and tears started flowing again.

Lu Yuanzheng gently wiped away her tears, "Don't cry! Crying during confinement will hurt your eyes."

"It's all your fault!"

"Well, it's all my fault."

Lu Yuanzheng responded with good temper, got a cup of warm water, helped Xu Wen up, and fed the water to her.

Her lips were so dry that they were peeling.

After Xu Wen finished drinking the water, Lu Yuanzheng was filled with complex emotions, and finally he only said: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Xu Wen just remembered and looked around, "Where are our children?"

"Mom is taking her to get checked out. She'll be back soon."

Xu asked and sat up, "Check-up? What's wrong with the child?"

"It's just a routine check-up. Don't get excited." Lu Yuanzheng pressed Xu Wen's shoulders and let her lie down again.

"I'm sorry! I made you suffer."

Seeing the pain in Lu Yuanzheng's eyes, Xu Wen sniffed, snorted, and said coquettishly: "I should find a chance to let you experience what level 10 pain is like."

Lu Yuanzheng hummed.

But after Xu Wen finished speaking, he thought of Lu Yuanzheng, a man who had been given critical illness notices more than twenty times due to serious injuries, and it seemed that the pain he had endured was no less than level 10 pains.

Thinking of this, the anger disappeared. Xu Wen softened his voice and asked him, "Why did you come back?"

Lu Yuanzheng looked like a travel-weary man, with dark eyes, and he hadn't shaved for who knows how many days, and his hair was messy.

"As soon as the competition was over, I reported back and left the main group." Lu Yuanzheng apologized, "I'm sorry, I still couldn't make it in time to accompany you."

"You're not the leader? Is it okay for you to leave early?"

"I am just the leader of Rainbow Island. I have leaders above me. Are you still in pain?"

Xu Wen shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

This is roughly the difference between a natural birth and a caesarean section.

One is that the pain goes away after giving birth, and the other is that the pain starts right after giving birth.

Thinking of this, Xu Wen pouted and complained to him: "I almost suffered twice."

She had already experienced the pain of a natural birth, and now she almost had to experience the pain of a caesarean section.

Lu Yuanzheng apologized again: "I'm sorry!"

He knew that this word had no meaning, but he really didn't know what else to say.

"I know you feel guilty, but I'm not angry. I scolded you because I was in so much pain. And you saved me and the child from getting stabbed."

Lu Yuanzheng didn't know what to say, he just hugged Xu Wen tightly.

Zhu Meizhen walked in holding her child and happened to see this scene. She subconsciously wanted to hold the child and then leave.

Lu Yuanzheng had sharp ears and quick reactions. He saw her let go of Xu Wen and stood up, "Mom!"

Zhu Meizhen couldn't leave anymore, so she carried the child to Xu Wen and said, "Nuo, come and see the child!"

Xu Wen was a little afraid to hug him.

Wrapped in a tight swaddling cloth, she was only a tiny bit big, like a little old lady, with wrinkled and dark skin.

Zhu Meizhen taught her the correct way to hold a baby.

Lu Yuanzheng watched and listened silently and kept it in mind.

"Why is he so ugly?" Xu Wen frowned. She thought she was pretty and Lu Yuanzheng was handsome. "He's still so young. Did I pick him up by mistake?"

Zhu Meizhen rolled her eyes, "All children look like this. Six pounds and two ounces is not considered small! When you were a child, you were not as big as her! When you weighed less than five pounds, everyone said you couldn't survive! You were delivered at dawn, how could I have taken the wrong child?"

Xu asked: "..."

Lu Yuanzheng also agreed: "Not ugly! Very beautiful."

How could the daughter she gave birth to him be ugly?

Xu asked: "..."

All right! You are willing to deceive yourselves, what else can I say?

Zhu Meizhen asked: "Have you decided on a name for the child?"

Xu Wen shook his head.

I have discussed it with Lu Yuanzheng several times, but I couldn't think of a suitable name.

"I haven't decided on a full name yet, but I do have a nickname." Lu Yuanzheng said, "Let's make it the same as Dongsheng and Chunsheng!"

Xu asked: "..."

He blurted out: "Xia Sheng?"

Zhu Meizhen: “…”

She was the first to disagree: "What kind of a thing is it for a girl to say? Besides, it's not even summer yet!"

Pengcheng is already very hot in May, but that is due to its geographical location and does not mean it is summer already.

Lu Yuanzheng didn't dare to confront Xu directly like Zhu Meizhen did, so he asked tactfully: "What do you think of Xia Chu?"
