As Gu Xi's belly grew bigger and bigger, and she was approaching her due date, Wang Xu basically worked from home and was almost inseparable from Gu Xi unless necessary.
On the second Sunday of May, Mother's Day, Gu Xi was taking a nap when she suddenly screamed.
Wang Xu immediately went into the room to check: "What's wrong? Do you have a stomachache or something uncomfortable?"
Gu Xi's face turned pale: "My stomach hurts a little, but my water broke, what should I do?"
Wang Xu was also inexperienced. Chen Minhua happened to be away, so he could only follow the plan: "Don't be afraid, calm down, calm down, I'll take you to the hospital now."
Seeing his pale face, Gu Xi found it amusing. "Calm down, don't be nervous. The delivery bag is ready. Take the bag and my small bag, and then take me to the hospital.
By the way, tell Sister Yuan that when my parents come back, tell them we went to the hospital."
Gu Xi was actually the calmest one.
Wang Xu did as Gu Xi said and sent her to the hospital.
The doctor examined the situation and said, "You're about to give birth, but the contractions aren't that intense at first. Walk around a bit and eat something to replenish your energy."
When Gu Xi was in pain, she kept cursing Wang Xu, but after the pain passed, she felt weak again.
Gu Weiguo and Chen Minhua arrived in the afternoon. "What's going on? Is the baby coming? Why didn't it start while we were here, but started when we went out for the wedding banquet? She's really a little girl with big ideas. She's definitely going to be rebellious in the future."
Gu Xi was a bit amused and confused. Even when she was about to start, she was still being tickled by her grandmother. There were no painkillers available at that time, so she could only endure it. The pain was indescribable, like all the bones in her body were broken.
By the time the baby was born, Gu Xi was drenched in sweat.
The nurse came out holding the child: "Is Gu Xi's family here?"
Wang Xu was the first to rush over, followed by Gu Weiguo and Chen Minhua.
The nurse looked at the three people and said, "Mother and daughter are safe. It's a beautiful girl."
Chen Minhua took the child and immediately fell in love with her after seeing her facial features: "She is so beautiful. As beautiful as Gu Xi was when she was a child."
Wang Xu took a look at the wrinkled body, how could it look like Gu Xi? "Doctor, how is my wife?"
The nurse was immediately impressed by his concern for the mother. "Don't worry, she's in good condition. She'll be out after cleaning."
Wang Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief and teased his daughter: "Why is it a little ugly? Did she do something bad like me?"
Chen Minhua looked at him with amusement: "Don't talk nonsense, she is one of the pretty ones among the children. And her skin is red now, but it will become white later."
Wang Xu nodded perfunctorily. Gu Xi happened to push out. Wang Xu immediately went over and took Gu Xi's hand: "How is my wife? You have worked hard."
Gu Xi was too tired to answer and closed her eyes to sleep.
Seeing her like this, Wang Xu became anxious: "Why is she ignoring me? Is there something wrong?"
Gu Weiguo saw that he looked inexperienced and said, "She was tired, so she fell asleep. It's normal. There's nothing to do. Go back to the ward first."
Wang Xu booked a separate ward for Gu Xi so that she could rest.
Gu Chao and Tian Congbao rushed to the hospital upon hearing the news, but were driven out by Chen Minhua: "She just gave birth, it's inconvenient for you both. Take your dad back with you as well, as he'll be in the way. Just keep Wang Xu and me."
Wang Xu accompanied Gu Xi: "Mom, you all go back, I'll stay with you."
Chen Minhua was worried and wanted to stay with him, but Wang Xu insisted on taking care of him himself, so Gu Weiguo took him back.
Not long after Gu Xi fell asleep, the doctor came into the ward and woke her up: "It's time to feed the baby. Feed her directly with breast milk."
Giving birth is painful, and breastfeeding is even more painful. The child was so reckless that Wang Xu felt a little sorry for him: "Why don't you feed him formula? It's too painful for you."
The nurse was displeased when she heard this: "How can you be such a parent? Breast milk is more nutritious than formula. How can you let your child drink formula right away? It's not like you don't have breast milk. If you've chosen to have a child, you have to be responsible."
Wang Xu was scolded by the nurse and could only bow his head and admit his mistake: "Then Gu Xi, please bear with it for a while... There is nothing we can do."
Chen Minhua took a leave of absence and cooked different kinds of soup for Gu Xi every day to help her increase her milk production. She was discharged from the hospital 5 days later and went home to recuperate after giving birth.
Gu Xi was wrapped up like a mummy, tightly wrapped, for fear of leaving a root of disease.
She was not allowed to wash her hair. Every time, Wang Xu would wait until everyone was asleep at night and wash her hair. He was severely criticized by Chen Minhua. It was the first time that Chen Minhua got angry at Wang Xu, and Wang Xu could only bear it for Gu Xi.
Two months later, the baby was already plump and white, and Gu Xi's spirit and figure had fully recovered. Only Wang Xu had lost weight. "How could I forget to wear a condom and give birth to an ancestor to torment me?"
Gu Xi was unhappy: "What do you mean! Are you not satisfied with giving birth to a child for you? That's fine, I will take the child back to my parents' home alone and won't bother you."
Wang Xu immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and slapped his mouth: "I said the wrong thing. How could I not love the child? You and the child are my most beloved and closest people."
After the confinement period, Gu Xi went back to school. No one knew that she had given birth to a child.
This caused Chen Minhua to burst into conflict again: "How can you be so cruel as a mother? The child is only a little old, and you are already thinking about weaning him and letting him go back to school. What are you thinking? Why did you give birth to him in the first place if you were so irresponsible?"
Gu Xi also felt aggrieved: "I have to finish my studies. The teacher specially gave me an extension. I have to make up for what I have fallen behind. It will only take me two months.
And when did I say I wanted to wean my baby? I only go to school occasionally and come back to breastfeed on time. I work so hard but no one understands. I am a person first and a mother second. I don’t want to be constrained by my child.”
Wang Xu also fully supported Gu Xi: "Mom, she will finish her studies in two or three weeks. Special times require special treatment. I'll be fine at home, and the child won't suffer."
Chen Minhua got angry when she saw Wang Xu: "It's you who spoils her all day long. She's lawless and doesn't listen to a word the family says. You agree to whatever she does. What will happen to her in the future?"
Wang Xuzhen didn't think it mattered: "I should be nice to her. She went through so much hardship giving birth, and I don't want to lower her quality of life because of the family and the child. Let her be."
Gu Xi stopped talking. Often, the concepts of two generations are different. What's more, the real age difference in her body is more than two generations.
Seeing that she couldn't convince them, Chen Minhua angrily threw the child into Wang Xu's arms and said, "You won't listen to anything I say anyway. Take care of this child yourselves. Out of sight, out of mind. If I say too much, I'll become the villain."
