721: Braving the wind and snow to go to the field headquarters
Yu Zhengxian turned on the light, took Chen Ci's cotton jacket and cotton trousers and put them on her. He put a roe deer fur coat over the cotton jacket, a fox fur hat on her head, a rabbit fur scarf around her neck, and leather cotton boots on her feet.
After dressing Chen Ci, he quickly put on his own clothes and began to prepare other things.
Chen Ci had already packed a bundle with baby supplies in it. Yu Zhengxian tied the bundle to his body, rolled up Chen Ci's bedding, tied it up and placed it on the bed:
"Wait inside the house and don't move. I'll drive a sled over to pick you up!"
Yu Zhengxian hurried out.
The sky outside seemed to be getting brighter, and the snow-white earth was reflected in a cold white light.
Snowflakes were flying in the sky and it was still falling.
Yu Zhengxian walked through the snow to the female dormitory first, and before he even reached the dormitory, he shouted at the top of his voice:
"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, my wife is about to give birth. I'm taking her to the headquarters. You're going to take care of the canteen work. Do you hear me?"
Without waiting for a response from the girls' dormitory, Yu Zhengxian turned around and ran away again.
Lao Zhang, who was in the female dormitory, heard someone calling him in his sleep. He thought he was dreaming, so he turned over and went back to sleep.
When I realized that I might not be dreaming, I quickly got up and looked outside. It was quiet outside and there was no one around, but there were two clear rows of footprints left in the snow.
After Yu Zhengxian finished shouting outside the female dormitory, he quickly went to the warehouse at the foot of the mountain to get a horse, pulled out a horse-drawn sleigh, harnessed the sleigh, and drove the sleigh up for a while. When he reached a steeper place, he tied the horse to a tree on the side of the road and ran all the way back to the cabin.
When we got to the cabin, Chen Ci was still waiting inside:
"Let's go, the horse sleigh is outside."
He put the bedding on his back, held the porcelain with both hands, and without turning off the lights, locked the door and rushed to the foot of the mountain.
The snowy ground was very slippery and the road was downhill, so they walked very carefully. Yu Zhengxian specially found a stick for Chen Ci to lean on to prevent him from falling.
The dog Hei Dou heard the commotion here and ran over from the cafeteria, following the two of them.
Yu Zhengxian scolded the dog:
"Hei Dou, you stay and watch over the cafeteria!"
"Woof woof!"
The dog barked twice and continued to follow.
Seeing that he couldn't drive the dog away, Yu Zhengxian didn't care about anything else and let the dog follow him.
The two of them trudged to the place where the sled was tied. Yu Zhengxian carefully helped Chen Ci sit on the sled, then opened the quilt and wrapped it around Shen Ci.
"Just sit down, we'll go to the field office now. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"Go slower, watch the road, and don't bump me."
"I know."
After settling Chen Ci, Yu Zhengxian untied the reins, got on the sled, and rushed to the field office dozens of miles away in the wind and snow at dawn.
The sled moved forward steadily on the ice, and the dog followed closely beside it.
In the weather of minus thirty degrees Celsius, the biting cold wind wrapped in snowflakes blew on my face, making me shiver all over. Yu Zhengxian kept turning his head and asked:
"Wife, how are you? Can you hold on?"
A trembling reply came from under the quilt:
"I'm fine."
But there was a hint of pain in his voice.
Yu Zhengxian was anxious, but he didn't dare to go too fast. He was also afraid of encountering wolves in the snow, so he was terrified all the way.
After finally finishing the extremely long journey and arriving at the second division field headquarters, it was already dawn.
When Yu Zhengxian saw the houses rising and falling in the snow from afar, he shouted happily:
"We're almost there, wife, just hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon!"
The main street of the field office was getting closer and closer, and we finally arrived.
When the sled arrived at the door of the clinic, Yu Zhengxian finally felt relieved. He got off the sled, tied the horse to the wooden stake at the door, and looked back to see that the bedding was covered with a thick layer of snow.
Chen Ci loosened the quilt and emerged from under the snow. Her whole face was frozen purple, her lips were trembling, and a layer of frost formed on her eyelashes.
Yu Zhengxian felt very distressed and stepped forward to lift the quilt and said:
"We're here, we're finally here."
He supported Chen Ci and walked into the clinic. From the icy and snowy wilderness into the warm room, it was like walking into spring.
"Where's the nurse? My wife is about to give birth. Please help me!"
The three medical staff inside hurried over and looked at the two people covered in frost. A female medical staff said:
"Come with me."
Yu Zhengxian helped Chen Ci into a room inside, let Chen Ci lie on it, and then drove Yu Zhengxian out.
Yu Zhengxian asked worriedly:
"Is my wife okay? Is she okay?"
The hygienist said impatiently:
"I'll have to check to know if there's anything wrong, don't worry."
"Well, what can I do? What can I do?"
"You can't do anything, just wait outside. When the baby is born, come and hold it."
Yu Zhengxian was helplessly stopped outside, waiting anxiously and listening carefully to the conversation inside.
The hygienist asked:
"How long did it take for the reaction to start?"
"About the second half of the night."
"Come, lie down, take off your pants for inspection."
After a while of rustling, the nurse said again:
"I'm sure you'll be able to give birth this morning. Don't panic. Eat and drink as needed, and save your strength."
When Yu Zhengxian heard this, he remembered that they had rushed here in a hurry early in the morning and hadn't even had a sip of water.
But when I came, I was so busy bringing bedding and the children's things that I completely forgot about the food.
He looked inside and said:
"Wife, wait a minute, I'll find you something to eat."
He came outside and saw the horse sleigh still tied outside, with the bedding on it. He shook off the snow on the bedding and put the bedding inside for Chen Ci to see.
Covered.
Then I drove the horse sleigh to the yard for storage, and then went to the agency store to buy a lunch box, peach cakes and a spoon.
After buying the things, I poured hot water into the lunch box, took two slices of peach cakes and soaked them in the water for Chenci to eat.
Chen Ci's frozen face gradually returned to normal, but there were still two bruises on his cheeks.
She reluctantly ate two slices of peach cake.
When Yu Zhengxian saw that she had eaten, the tension he had been feeling along the way finally eased a little.
After settling Chen Ci, Yu Zhengxian thought he should call home for help. He could handle other things by himself, but he was really worried about his wife giving birth and wanted to find someone to help.
After thinking about it, I can only ask my family for help.
Although his parents don't recognize him as their son, they can't deny his grandson, right?
Yu Zhengxian came to Director Wang's office and begged Director Wang to call Zhou Ziheng's office.
When Director Wang heard that the call was for Zhou Ziheng, he asked him vigilantly why he called. Yu Zhengxian told the truth and said that his wife was about to give birth and asked Director Zhou to pass on the message.
Director Wang also heard that the couple seemed to have some friendship with Director Zhou, so he helped make a phone call.
When the call was connected, Director Wang said respectfully:
"Director Zhou, Yu Zhengxian from the forest farm wants to see you. Do you want to take the call?"
"Let him answer it."
After hearing the order, Director Wang handed the microphone to Yu Zhengxian.
