Xie Yongliang had already found out some information about Geng Ailing's past from Fan Hua. He knew that Geng Ailing had never forgotten Li Dazhui, so he was not in a hurry to confess his feelings, fearing that he would scare Geng Ailing away. He wanted to wait for Geng Ailing to accept him little by little.
After spending more than half a year together, Xie Yongliang has seen all the good things Geng Ailing does to Niannian. Xie Yongliang can feel that Geng Ailing now fully understands his feelings and is slowly beginning to accept him. He just doesn't know to what extent she accepts him now, so today he couldn't help but want to take the opportunity of Niannian's words to test her out.
Geng Ailing was a little at a loss when asked this question. Her face suddenly turned redder. She lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes.
"This... let's talk about this later." After saying that, he quickly ran away.
Xie Yongliang smiled. Not refusing was the same as agreeing.
He picked up Nian Nian and followed behind, "Come on, Nian Nian, let's go cook with Aunt Geng."
"Great!" Niannian clapped his hands happily.
The three of them left the hospital together. Along the way, Xie Yongliang and Geng Ailing's eyes met from time to time, and the atmosphere between them suddenly became subtle.
…
Not long after Geng Ailing left, the doctor came in. "Comrade Fan, we have done a preliminary examination of your two newborns. The elder brother is heavier and his organ functions are relatively well developed. With careful nursing, there shouldn't be any major problems. But the younger sister's lungs are not fully developed yet, so it's best to keep her in an incubator for treatment..."
The doctor paused for a moment, then continued hesitantly, "It's just that this incubator was just imported from abroad by the hospital, and the cost is quite high. I wonder what you think?"
Fan Hua was stunned for a moment, her face full of worry, she asked directly: "How much does it cost to live in an incubator?"
The doctor said with a heavy face, "In your daughter's case, she will need to stay in the hospital for about 20 days, 80 yuan a day!"
Eighty yuan a day is indeed very expensive in this era and not something that an average family can afford. Fan Hua is very glad that she has saved some money in the past few months since coming to Yangcheng. However, Xiaoxiao's stay in the incubator this time will use up all her savings, and she even has to borrow some money from Geng Ailing.
But as long as the child can be saved, Fan Hua feels that everything is worth it!
I think in the original book, Geng Ailing really took good care of the original owner. The original owner never fell down the stairs, nor did she worry as much as she did. She didn't give birth prematurely, otherwise, with the original owner's ability, Xiaoxiao would definitely not have survived.
Fan Hua pulled back her thoughts and continued to ask, "Doesn't my brother need a place to stay? He can't weigh much more than my sister, right?"
The doctor pursed her lips. She had seen many parents who favored sons over daughters in the hospital, and she had also seen too many families who gave up treatment because they had premature babies and could not afford to put them in incubators. She thought that the reason Fan Hua asked this was because she wanted to keep only the son and abandon the daughter, so she quickly said, "The brother is developing well. Instead of putting him in an incubator, it is better to let him eat breast milk as soon as possible and take better care of him in the future. There shouldn't be any big problems."
"Okay, I understand. Doctor, please arrange for my daughter to stay in an incubator. I'll pay the hospital bill when my family arrives!"
The doctor didn't expect Fan Hua to make the decision so easily. "Don't you need to discuss it with your family?"
"No need, I have the final say over my child!" Fan Hua said firmly.
The doctor looked at Fan Hua with admiration in his eyes. She said nothing more, walked out of the ward quietly, closed the door, and went to arrange for the newborn to stay in an incubator.
When Geng Ailing came back, Chu Qiuye also came.
Fan Hua was very surprised and asked happily, "Aunt Chu, why are you here?"
"I happened to run into Ailing when I was going downstairs. I asked her and found out that you gave birth today, so I hurried over. You said that neither of you had given birth before, so why didn't you ask me to come and help with such a big thing?"
Fan Hua smiled and said, "It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to call you. But you came at the right time. The doctor will bring Yuanyuan over soon. I really don't know what to do!"
Just take a good rest, but make sure to take good care of yourself during the confinement period. Apart from breastfeeding, you don't have to worry about anything else. Ailing and I will take care of it.
Fan Hua was very touched and felt the love from Chu Qiuye that only an elder could have. "Thank you, Aunt Chu. Can you help me take care of the children in the future? I will pay you 30 yuan a month. Is that okay with you?"
"How can I earn so much just by taking care of your kids? Anyway, I have nothing to do at home when Zhicheng goes to work, so I can't charge you so much money for just helping out. This is more than what the workers in the weaving factory make!"
"Not much, not much. I think it's too little. It costs a lot of money to put the premature baby in the incubator, so I'll give you thirty a month first. When I have more money in the future, I will definitely give you a raise. Looking after a child is not an easy job."
Chu Qiuye was a straightforward person. Seeing that Fan Hua was so sincere, he stopped refusing and said directly, "Okay, I will definitely treat them as my own grandchildren from now on. Don't worry!"
Fan Hua nodded vigorously, "Yes, I've been with you for such a long time, I am absolutely confident in you!"
