He didn't even stop when he passed Mu'er, which completely baffled her. Before she could even say anything, her father had already run home.
But Mu'er still remembered what her mother said and wanted to call her great-grandfather home.
So Mu'er continued running into the wasteland, calling out, "Great-grandfather, great-grandfather."
When Grandpa Zhao saw Mu'er running over, he immediately hugged her and gently coaxed her, "Mu'er, don't be afraid, let's go home first."
Seeing this, Yunhua followed behind, and the three of them hurried home together.
It turns out that Xu Han felt unwell yesterday and went to bed late, so she naturally woke up later today.
Lu Chuan and the others went out to dig a pond as usual. Zhao Yunyun usually stayed at home, but coincidentally, she went out to collect herbs today.
Not long after they left, by sheer coincidence, Xu Han went into labor with abdominal pain.
Lu Chuan rushed home and saw Xu Han writhing in pain on the bed as soon as he entered the room.
"Honey, how are you? Don't be afraid. Grandpa Zhao is right behind us." Lu Chuan grabbed Xu Han's hand and said with concern.
"I'm fine, just a little sore. Where's Yunyun? I haven't seen her," Xu Han said weakly.
"Yunyun just went out for a while, she must have gone to gather herbs, she should be back soon," Lu Chuan explained.
As the two were talking, Grandpa Zhao walked in. On his way back, Grandpa Zhao had already asked Yunhua to take Mu'er to find Zhao Yunyun.
Fortunately, Zhao Yunyun is not far from home, so she should be able to come back to help soon.
"Xiao Chuan, go boil some water first. I'll take Xiao Han's pulse," Grandpa Zhao instructed.
Seeing that Xu Han was in great pain, Lu Chuan hesitated for a moment, but eventually turned around and walked out.
Production requires a lot of hot water, and it's definitely not going to work without it. I can't help here, so I'd better go and boil some water.
Grandpa Zhao took Xu Han's pulse and checked the baby's position. Seeing that everything was normal, he was relieved.
"Xiao Han, don't be afraid. The baby is fine and in the right position. Don't use up all your energy, or you'll run out of strength soon," Grandpa Zhao said softly.
Xu Han nodded obediently, trying her best to keep quiet and conserve her energy.
After some time, Zhao Yunyun finally returned. As soon as she entered the room, the grandfather and granddaughter exchanged information.
"Check the baby's position first, I'll go brew some medicine for Xiao Han," Grandpa Zhao said before leaving the room.
After seeing that her grandfather had left, Zhao Yunyun immediately lifted Xu Han's blanket and began to check on Xu Han's condition.
"Sister Xiaohan, the baby is fine. You must save your strength for later. Don't use up all your energy," Zhao Yunyun comforted her.
Actually, that's not the case. The baby is in an abnormal position, and the baby is very fussy, so Xu Han is definitely going to suffer during this delivery.
Xu Han endured this torment for what seemed like an eternity, until finally she felt completely exhausted.
Seeing this, Zhao Yunyun quickly stuffed the ginseng slices she had prepared beforehand into Xu Han's mouth and said...
"Sister Xiaohan, you absolutely mustn't fall asleep! Cheer up and start pushing with my rhythm. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale."
Zhao Yunyun tried her best to help Xu Han adjust her rhythm, and Xu Han also exerted all her strength.
Finally, seeing that Xu Han's condition was getting worse and worse, Zhao Yunyun quickly started acupuncture and combined it with labor-inducing drugs.
Lu Chuan, who was outside the door, heard Xu Han's voice getting softer and softer. He paced anxiously outside, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Unfortunately, he couldn't suffer in place of his wife, so he could only wait anxiously outside.
Hearing the heart-wrenching cries from inside, Lu Chuan wished he could immediately pull the child out of Xu Han's belly and throw it away.
Little Mu'er was terrified by her mother's cries. Seeing that her father was not in the mood to pay attention to her, she could only cling tightly to Yunhua's clothes and refuse to let go.
Seeing this, Yunhua gently comforted her, "Mu'er, don't be afraid. Your mother is giving birth to your younger brother or sister. You'll be a big brother soon."
Mu'er had always known that she was going to have a younger brother or sister. She used to be happy that someone would play with her, but now that she sees her mother in so much pain, she suddenly doesn't want this younger brother or sister anymore.
The three people outside the door each had their own thoughts. After some time, there was suddenly no sound from inside.
Lu Chuan was startled and immediately ran into the room. Mu'er also slid off Yun Hua and ran forward with her father.
Just when Xu Han was about to give up, the cry of a baby rang out.
"Wah~wah~" The newborn baby cried very loudly, his little face turned purple, which looked very scary.
Upon seeing this, Grandpa Zhao quickly took the child and began to clean him.
Xu Han completely collapsed the moment her child was born, her head lolling to the side and she fainted.
Zhao Yunyun was startled when she saw this and immediately began to examine Xu Han's body. Only after confirming that Xu Han had simply fallen asleep from exhaustion did she feel completely relieved.
The three people waiting outside were also extremely anxious. It was already around 8 p.m., and Xu Han had been in labor for a full ten hours, longer than when she gave birth to Mu'er.
Hearing the baby cry, Lu Chuan paused for a moment and immediately asked, "Grandpa Zhao, where is Xiao Han? I haven't heard Xiao Han's voice."
Just as he was about to open the door and go inside, Grandpa Zhao immediately stopped him and said, "Xiao Han is fine, don't worry, she's just too tired and fell asleep. You should go out quickly, Mu'er is still behind us, it wouldn't be good if he saw her."
The scene of a woman giving birth is too bloody, and children will inevitably be frightened if they watch it.
Hearing the Taoist priest's words, Lu Chuan noticed Mu'er standing to the side. He picked Mu'er up and said softly, "Mu'er, don't be afraid, Mother is alright. Come on, let's make Mother something delicious. Mother can eat when she wakes up in a little while."
“I’ve been going with you all day and haven’t had a proper meal. I’m starving,” Yunhua said.
Because Xu Han had been giving birth all day and was not in good condition, everyone was quite worried, so they only had a quick bite to eat at noon.
There hadn't been time to cook all evening, and now that Xu Han was alright, everyone realized they were starving.
After Grandpa Zhao cleaned the baby up, he was about to take the baby out to show Lu Chuan when he found that there was no one there.
"This father is so unreliable! Where is he? He can't just abandon his son now that he knows it's a son," Grandpa Zhao muttered to himself.
That's right, Xu Han gave birth to a boy this time, not the daughter the couple had been longing for.
I really wonder what Xu Han and Lu Chuan's reaction will be when they find out they've given birth to a son.
