Zhang Pingping said with a smile, "My parents have already bought train tickets and will be coming over in the next two days. I heard they were coming too, and I felt much more at ease."
"Brother-in-law, remember to talk to the villagers in advance and get the mule cart ready. Once Sister Pingping starts, we will go to the hospital immediately." Lin Zishan reminded.
Du Yueming waved his hand and said, "No, we won't take the mule cart. I've already made an appointment with the driver from the armed forces department. As soon as Pingping starts, he will drive over to take us to the hospital."
Du Yueming and Zhang Pingping wanted to go for a walk by the river, so they didn't sit there for long before leaving the educated youth site.
In the evening, after returning to the space, Chu Jingqiu opened the bag that Xiao Yihan had brought. Inside were two sets of blouses, a pair of sandals, and some food and drinks.
Sandals in that era were all made of plastic. In order to make it easier to work, she always wore black square-toed cloth shoes and never wore sandals when going out.
That day, Zhao Yaru went for a walk in the village wearing a bra and sandals, which shocked several old women in the village. Their eyes were fixed on Zhao Yaru's feet.
As soon as Zhao Yaru left, the fat lady said with a smile: "Have you seen the shoes on Zhao Zhiqing's feet? Are people in the city so frugal when wearing shoes now?
The toes were exposed, with five cloves of garlic sticking out from the front and a yam egg sticking out from the back. It was so ugly!"
Chu Jingqiu couldn't help laughing when she thought of this. She decided not to wear the sandals to prevent people from calling her feet five cloves of garlic and yam eggs.
The skirt Xiao Yihan bought for her was really beautiful. It was pure white with a red checkered collar and cuffs, a thin red checkered belt at the waist, and a row of seven buttons covered with red checkered cloth on the upper body. It looked elegant and fresh.
The other one is sky blue with small squares, and the collar and belt are pure white. The big white collar is slanted down to the shoulder and tied with a knot on the shoulder, which is also very beautiful.
Chu Jingqiu tried on every skirt. When she put them on, her figure looked curvy and her skin was white and flawless, like porcelain. Her straight and slender legs were faintly visible under the hem of the skirt.
Jiang Jiang exclaimed, "Wow... so beautiful! Qiuqiu, Captain Xiao has such good taste! You look so... delicious!"
Chu Jingqiu laughed and said, "Jiang Jiang, only food can be described as delicious. You're using the wrong word."
Jiang Jiang tilted his head. "I just thought of a word to describe someone so beautiful that they can make people forget they're hungry. I'm not well educated, so I really can't remember what the word is."
"Puchi..." Chu Jingqiu was amused by Jiang Jiang, "Jiang Jiang, you're almost illiterate. Haha, you don't even have a high level of education!"
Lele laughed at it and said, "Jiang Jiang is just uneducated. Being uneducated is terrible. The word is 'beautiful to behold'. Do you understand? Jiang Jiang!"
Jiang Jiang glared at Lele with disdain. "You've only been staying at the director's house for a few years. You're an old crow making fun of a black pig! We're the same."
The three of them laughed and played for a while, then went to sleep. They slept until about four in the morning, when they heard people talking in the next room.
Chu Jingqiu walked out of the space and listened carefully to the noise outside. It seemed that Du Yueming was calling Lin Zishan, "Zishan, she has spotting, but her stomach doesn't hurt. I've called Xiao Wang, and he will be here soon. Can Pingping wait until he arrives?"
Lin Zishan said, "It's okay. Sister Pingping is having her first child, so it won't be that fast. Even the onset of labor pains will take some time. Don't worry, brother-in-law, I'll be fine soon."
Chu Jingqiu hurriedly changed out of her pajamas and walked out. Shi Aihong also came out of the room at the same time.
They saw Du Yueming standing outside Lin Zishan's door waiting. The light was on in Lin Zishan's room, so she must be packing up.
Shi Aihong asked in confusion, "Brother-in-law, isn't Sister Pingping due in a week? She went into labor today!"
Lin Zishan just walked out and explained with a smile, "Aihong, the due date is just an approximate date. It's normal to have a due date three weeks in advance. Sister Pingping, this is within the normal range. The baby is already full-term."
Shi Aihong nodded embarrassedly, "I really don't know much about giving birth to a child."
Chu Jingqiu said happily, "You guys go first! When it's daybreak, Aihong and I will ride our bikes to the clinic to see you. I really want to see the baby!"
Du Yueming and Lin Zishan walked out of the educated youth site quickly.
After breakfast in the morning, Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong rode their bicycles excitedly towards the health center.
When they arrived at the town clinic, they asked around and found out that Pingping was giving birth in the delivery room.
The two of them trotted to the outside of the delivery room. Lin Zishan and Du's mother were sitting on chairs outside the delivery room. Du Yueming paced back and forth at the door of the delivery room, and from time to time he peeked inside through the crack of the door.
Mother Du glanced at Du Yueming and said, "Yueming, can you sit for a while? You've been spinning around for a long time. I'm dizzy."
"Ah..." A scream came from the delivery room. Du Yueming's legs went limp and he sat down on the ground. He clenched his fists, his face was covered in sweat, and veins bulged on his arms.
If you don’t know him, you might think he is trying hard to have a baby!
Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong hurried over and helped Du Yueming up. Du's mother pushed him onto a chair and went to the door.
After a while, "Wa...wa..." everyone heard the loud sound of a baby crying in the delivery room.
Du Yueming stood up all of a sudden, wiped his tears, and shouted with a smile: "It's born, Pingping is born...! I...I'm going to be a father!"
The door to the delivery room opened, and a nurse came out holding a swaddled baby. "Is Zhang Pingping's family here?"
