Chapter 104
As the due date gets closer, Xu Di still insists on going to work.
I went to the hospital for a check-up and the fetal heart rate was good and the baby was not too big.
Grandma Qian also knew that moderate activity was beneficial to childbirth.
However, it was freezing cold outside and the road was slippery and difficult to walk on, so she was very worried.
Aunt Wu takes Xu Di to work every morning. She doesn’t have to support him, but she is just in case something happens on the way and she needs someone by her side.
In the evening, Aunt Wu went to pick up Xu Di from get off work again.
It was almost time for delivery, but Zhang Chaoyang hadn't come back or called. I didn't know if he was out on another mission.
The school hasn't closed for the holidays yet, and Xu Jun wanted to ask for leave to stay here, but Xu Di didn't let him. She was doing pretty well now, so there was really no need to be so nervous.
Xu Jun didn't come, but Zhang Chaoheng came over with the luggage.
"Chao Heng, why are you here?"
"I don't have much to do at school, so I came to stay for a few days. My second sister-in-law is about to give birth, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
Zhang Chaoheng will graduate next year and will start his internship after the New Year, so he really has nothing to do this semester.
"Okay, you're thoughtful. The wooden bed I made a few days ago just arrived. You can use it first."
Although grandma didn't say anything, Zhang Chaoheng could feel her happiness.
"Grandma, you knew I was coming and even prepared a bed for me in advance. It seems like we are in sync!"
"Shao Pin, that's for your second sister-in-law's brother, and his school hasn't had its holiday yet.
I wanted to ask for leave yesterday, but your sister-in-law wouldn't let me. ”
Zhang Chaoheng had some impression of his second sister-in-law's younger brother, who seemed to be of little talent.
"Grandma, I seem to remember that my second sister-in-law's brother is not very old, right? I noticed it when my second brother got married."
"Xiaojun is in the first grade of junior high school. He is very sensible and always comes to help with any housework.
Your second brother is not at home, and your second sister-in-law is pregnant, so all the moving and lifting is done by her brothers from her natal family. ”
Zhang Chaoheng felt very unhappy. There were many people in the Zhang family, but none of them were useful.
"My second sister-in-law's family is so nice. Grandma has benefited from it."
"Yes, I also benefited from it."
After Grandma Qian arranged everything for her grandson, she went to check again to see if there was anything missing from the production supplies.
Zhang Chaoheng looked at his busy grandmother, although he didn't come here very often, only a few times a year.
However, he found that his grandmother's mental state was much better than in previous years and she looked younger.
In the evening, Zhang Chaoheng went with Aunt Wu to pick up Xu Di.
He is twenty-two years old this year, older than my second sister-in-law, so it would not be convenient for him to go and pick her up alone.
"Second sister-in-law, give me the things."
"Chao Heng, why are you here?"
As soon as Xu Di got downstairs, he saw Zhang Chaoheng next to Aunt Wu and was quite surprised.
"We don't have many classes at school, so we come here to stay for a few days."
Xu Di knew that he meant well because he was worried that there would be no supportive man at home when she was about to give birth.
"Thank you for your trouble!"
"We are a family, sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite."
Zhang Chaoheng felt a little embarrassed, as his second sister-in-law was quite insightful.
The three of them walked back home slowly. Xu Di sat on the sofa to rest for a while, and his stomach felt heavy.
In the evening, there was one more person in the house.
At the dinner table, Zhang Chaoheng, a big guy, had a big appetite, so as a result, the others also ate a little more.
"Aunt Wu, your cooking skills are really good!"
Zhang Chaoheng was too full; the food in their school was just average. At home, my mother’s cooking skills are just so-so, she can only cook it well.
The housekeeper at my grandfather's house is quite skilled, but he doesn't like going there very much.
Grandma Fang looks gentle and speaks slowly, but at Grandpa's house, they are different from Zhang Chaomiao and the others.
His grandmother, although not as gentle as Grandma Fang, is warm.
In this way, Zhang Chaoheng settled down in his grandmother's house.
Xu Di could feel that her belly was getting smaller and smaller and the baby was about to be born.
During this period, there was no news about Zhang Chaoyang.
After New Year's Day, Xu Di's stomach still showed no sign of pregnancy.
The due date had passed, Xu Di was a little worried, so she went to the hospital for a check-up.
The doctor said everything was normal and there was no problem.
Xu Jun came on the third day after New Year's Day, and their school was finally on holiday.
"Xiaojun, this is Chaoyang's younger brother Chaoheng, you can just call him brother.
He was also on vacation and came over to help. ”
"Hello, Brother Chaoheng!"
Xu Jun didn't have much impression of him, but he was grateful that he could come and help at this time.
Grandma Qian asked Chao Heng and Xiao Jun to move the single bed to Xiao Di's room. She would stay there at night to prevent Xiao Di from making a move in the middle of the night.
Zhang Chaoheng and Xiaojun sleep together in grandma's room. There is a double bed, and they can sleep comfortably together.
After all the personnel were arranged, Xu Di started the operation that night.
"Grandma, grandma, my stomach hurts, I think I'm about to give birth."
"It's time to give birth. Don't be afraid. Let's get dressed and go to the hospital."
Grandma Qian was a light sleeper, and she woke up when Xu Di called her.
Go out first and wake up the others.
"Chao Heng, Xiao Jun, wake up, Xiao Di is about to give birth."
"What, the baby is about to be born, now? Grandma, what are we going to do?"
Zhang Chaoheng was a little confused. He suddenly sat up, not knowing what to do.
"You and Xiaojun quickly put on your clothes, carry the quilt to the cart downstairs and spread it out, then come up and help Xiaodi down."
"Got it, Grandma Qian, we'll be there right away."
Xiaojun had already put on his clothes, and the quilt for covering the car had been prepared in advance and placed at the door.
Aunt Wu got up when she heard the noise, put on her clothes, and helped Xu Di change clothes with Grandma Qian.
"Xiao Di, don't be afraid, it's okay. This is your first baby, it won't happen that fast."
"I know, grandma, I'm not afraid."
Xu Di felt calm. After all, she had some experience.
Although she was born by caesarean section in her previous life, she understood the basic process.
After changing clothes, Zhang Chaoheng and Xu Jun also came up from downstairs.
"Xiaojun, you carry my second sister-in-law's things, and I'll support her. Aunt Wu, you and grandma go slowly, it's dark and slippery outside."
After Zhang Chaoheng and Xu Jun gave their instructions, they also reminded grandma. He was still relatively calm.
"It's okay, we have flashlights.
Chaoheng, you are strong, please support your sister-in-law. ”
The grandmother worriedly said again that her grandson looked tall and strong, but had not done anything to help.
The group went downstairs in an orderly manner. Xu Di lay on the flatbed cart and covered himself with another quilt.
The two-wheeled flatbed cart is relatively easy to push, and Zhang Chaoheng had practiced it in advance.
A few days ago, he pushed Aunt Wu to buy groceries when he had nothing to do, and he had become very skilled at it.
The hospital was close and we arrived there in no time.
The doctor on duty examined Xu Di and found that the movement had just started and was not going that fast, so he asked her to walk on the ground.
Xu Jun and Grandma Qian accompanied Xu Di and Zhang Chaoheng to handle the formalities.
Because his mother works in a hospital, Zhang Chaoheng is very familiar with hospital procedures.
Aunt Wu went home to make chicken soup and brought it over when it was done. Giving birth is also physically demanding.
Xu Di walked slowly, holding on to the wall. His stomachache became more and more severe, and sweat was pouring down.
After more than an hour, the doctor came to check again and said that it was already four fingers dilated and almost there.
When the day just got light, Xu Di was pushed into the delivery room.
