But after a whole night of tossing and turning, Lu Xia still didn't give birth.
It was almost dawn when the doctor came to check and found that she was only two fingers dilated. When he heard that it was her first child, he asked her to wait a little longer.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Lu Xia had become numb from the pain. When the doctor came again, he found that her cervix was five fingers dilated, and she was finally sent to the delivery room.
It was not until before going in that Lu Xia pulled himself together and reminded Jiang Junmo, "Don't forget what I told you!"
Jiang Junmo nodded randomly. He didn't know why his face turned pale and he looked very worried. He didn't pay attention to what she said. He just kept saying, "Don't worry, it will be fine soon."
Seeing him like this, Lu Xia knew that he could not be relied on, and looked at Sun Shengnan beside him. Seeing this, Sun Shengnan nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I remember everything!"
Only then did Lu Xia feel relieved.
Then she was taken to the delivery room.
…
On the morning of the second day of February in 1975, Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo's first child was born.
...
...
She no longer wanted to recall the birth process. She only remembered that her whole body was in pain as if she had been run over by a car, and she finally gave birth to him when she was exhausted.
In a daze, I heard the doctor's voice, "Yes, it's a big fat boy. He weighs 15.6 pounds. He is well-fed. It's rare!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xia reluctantly opened her eyes and took a look. Then, due to the tossing and turning all night and the exhaustion from giving birth, she fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, Jiang Junmo, who was wandering nervously outside the delivery room, finally heard the baby's cry. He subconsciously stopped and looked at the door of the delivery room nervously. After a while, he saw the nurse coming out holding the baby.
Jiang Junmo didn't care to look after the child, and immediately asked: "How is my wife?"
The nurse smiled when she saw him like this, "Don't worry, mother and child are safe."
Jiang Junmo finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, only then did he realize that in this cold winter, he had been sweating profusely without knowing when.
But he couldn't care less about that now and focused his attention on the child again.
The child was small and red, and it was hard to tell who he looked like. He felt a little soft in his heart, and just as he was about to hug him, he saw Lu Xia being pushed out.
She immediately forgot about the child and ran towards Lu Xia. Seeing her face covered in sweat and her eyes closed, she asked the doctor beside her anxiously, "What happened to her? Is she okay?"
The doctor said: "It's okay, he fell asleep because he was tired, and he will be fine when he wakes up."
Seeing him like this, Sun Shengnan knew that he had completely forgotten what Lu Xia said.
He quickly took the child, looked at him, wrote down his characteristics, and took out a red cloth from his pocket and tied a knot around his ankle.
Only then did I finally feel relieved.
The nurse beside her was puzzled by her actions, but thought it was the custom there, so she didn't ask any more questions and just said, "The child still needs to be sent for examination. Do you want your family members to go with you?"
"Go, I'll go!" Sun Shengnan looked at Lu Xia, Jiang Junmo and decided to go by herself.
"Come over here then."
Sun Shengnan and Jiang Junmo said hello and followed.
…
When Lu Xia woke up, she was still a little unaware of where she was. She subconsciously wanted to turn over while protecting her stomach. However, when she stretched out her hand, she found that her stomach was not so heavy anymore. Then she remembered that she had already given birth.
Then I saw that only Sun Shengnan was in the ward, and there was a little kid beside her bed.
Lu Xia took a quick look.
