720: I think I'm going to give birth
Yu Xiaoye laughed and threw himself into his arms:
"Brother Heng, do you know everything?"
Zhou Ziheng asked in a blaming tone:
"Why didn't you tell me in advance? If no one else told me, were you ever going to tell me?"
Yu Xiaoye argued:
"I just think that there's no need to alarm you over such a small matter."
Zhou Ziheng sighed slightly, thinking:
"Aren't you being too formal when you say that? Aren't there always these trivial matters between husband and wife? There's no need for so many big things. You're deliberately hiding it from me, which means you don't treat me as your own."
Yu Xiaoye didn't expect Zhou Ziheng to care about this, and she was suddenly a little speechless.
Zhou Ziheng added:
"Remember, next time something happens, don't hide it from me. If your parents know, I can know too."
Yu Xiaoye raised his eyelids meaningfully and looked into Zhou Ziheng's eyes, thinking, there are so many things my parents know that you don't know, and if I tell you, you'll be scared to death.
I thought so in my heart, but said sweetly:
"Okay, I know I was wrong this time, but I won't do that next time. Okay, I'll definitely tell you if I have anything next time."
"That's right," Zhou Ziheng kissed her forehead with satisfaction. "By the way, what's going on between your eldest brother and that quartermaster? Are they really having an affair?"
"It's true, and Chen Ci caught him red-handed. My eldest brother admitted it himself."
"So exciting? Tell me in detail—"
Yu Xiaoye pushed Zhou Ziheng away and told him what she knew while preparing to wash up.
When the two of them got on the kang and lay in the same quilt, Yu Xiaoye said again:
"Brother Heng, in a few days, should we move back to the agency's family housing?"
"You don't want them to move back?"
"No, we want Chen Ci to go home and give birth. The conditions in the forest area are not good, and we're afraid of accidents during childbirth. It's cold now, and their cabin doesn't even have a kang. We're afraid the child will get cold, so we want to bring them back. As for the job of quartermaster, I think it's ridiculous. I don't know what they're thinking about letting a female educated youth who is about to give birth be the quartermaster."
"Is it possible that the forest farm appointed Chen Ci as the chief steward because they were impressed by your eldest brother's abilities?"
“——”
"I heard the canteen at the forest farm is doing very well. If we keep up this trend, maybe by the end of next year we'll be recognized as an advanced collective."
"——" Yu Xiaoye raised his head from Zhou Ziheng's arms, and the two looked at each other. Yu Xiaoye asked seriously:
"No way, someone like him can be rated as an advanced collective?"
"They have a clean background, excellent work aptitude, and no major blemishes. The Second Division might actually select them for the Advanced Group selection. You and I both know what your eldest brother did before, but others don't."
Yu Xiaoye couldn't help but exclaim:
"How come my big dog brother is so lucky that all the things he did before were actually wiped out?"
"He's lucky because he has family like you."
Yu Xiaoye was very upset and said:
"Yeah, we follow him around all day, cleaning up his mess, worrying about him. We don't know when we'll be able to stop completely. Oh, right, I just told you, take Chen Ci home, and I'll move back to the office dormitory with you. Is that okay with you?"
"No problem, I'll do as you say."
"Brother Heng, you are so nice!" Yu Xiaoye rubbed his body in Zhou Ziheng's arms like a little pig.
The next day, Yu Xiaoye wrote a letter to Chen Ci, asking her to put down her work at the forest farm and move to her home in the county town, and make other plans after the baby was born and she had finished her confinement.
A few days later, the letter was delivered to Yu Zhengxian.
When Yu Zhengxian saw that the letter was from Ono, he felt a little uneasy. He wondered what bad idea this girl had come up with and whether she had thought of some way to mess with him again.
But Yu Zhengxian still gave the letter to Chen Ci.
Chen Ci finished reading the letter in the canteen tent, and Yu Zhengxian immediately asked:
"What did Ono write?"
Chen Ci didn't answer and handed the letter directly to Yu Zhengxian.
Yu Zhengxian had a low level of education and had not even graduated from elementary school. He had great difficulty reading the letter and did not recognize many of the words, but he still managed to understand the meaning of the letter, which was to ask Chen Ci to take leave to go home and give birth to the child.
Yu Zhengxian felt happy and anxious at the same time.
He was happy that someone was taking care of Chen Ci, but he was anxious that if Chen Ci went home to give birth, he would not be able to see him every day.
The forest farm is far away from Mishan County, and it is inconvenient to travel there, so it is difficult to visit it.
So he was happy that Chen Ci was being well taken care of, but also sad that he could not see his wife and unborn child every day.
Putting down the letter, Yu Zhengxian asked:
"Are you going back?"
Chen Ci was not sure either, and she was also conflicted. Given the living conditions in the forest farm, it was indeed difficult to give birth and recuperate here. Even with Yu Zhengxian's care, she didn't know if the child could withstand the extremely cold weather.
But she couldn't give up her job in the canteen. Thanks to the efforts of her and Yu Zhengxian, the canteen was developing in a good direction. She was afraid that if she left, Yu Zhengxian would not focus on his work and the canteen, which had just been on track, would go downhill.
Neither of them knew how to choose.
Chen Ci touched her increasingly heavy belly and estimated that the baby was not due yet. After careful consideration, she decided not to go back for the time being. It would not be too late to go back until she was about to give birth.
She wrote back to Yu Xiaoye, saying that she would go back when she was about to give birth, and then continue to stay in the forest farm. She also began to arrange her work during the confinement period.
A few days later, heavy snow fell and the ground was frozen.
Heavy snow fell on and off for more than a week.
That morning, just as the sky was getting light, the fire in the cabin had gone out and the room was as cold as an ice cellar.
Yu Zhengxian was awakened by the cold, put on his clothes, climbed up, and relit the fire in the house.
Light the fire and return to your
He was about to lie down on his mat and take a nap. Before falling asleep, he glanced at the bed in the dim light and saw Chen Ci's eyes were open. He thought he had woken up Chen Ci by getting up to light the fire. Just as he was about to say something, Chen Ci touched her stomach and said:
"I think I'm about to give birth."
Yu Zhengxian jumped up, his heart instantly in his throat, and rushed to the bedside and asked a nonsense question:
"Are you going to give birth?"
"I feel like I'm going to give birth."
Yu Zhengxian panicked. Although he had thought about how to deal with the birth countless times in his mind, when the time came, he suddenly had no idea:
"What should we do then? How long can we hold on?"
Chen Ci was very calm. She knew that it would take at least a few hours for a woman to give birth to a child. After thinking for a while, she said:
"Send me to the field office."
"Don't you want to go to the hospital?" After asking this question, Yu Zhengxian realized that it was unrealistic to go to the main farm hospital now.
The main farm hospital is so far away from here, and it’s freezing cold and snowing outside. Even if we find a car, it would be fatal if something unexpected happened on the way.
It would be great if we could deliver it to the site safely.
Yu Zhengxian panicked for a moment but quickly calmed down:
"Okay, let's go to the field office. Get up and get dressed first."
