Chapter 126
Xu Di held a flashlight and walked slowly towards the staff quarters of the department store next door.
To be honest, the light from the flashlight at that time was really not that good.
Three batteries support the small light bulb in the front. Sometimes the aperture is too dispersed and needs manual adjustment.
Xu Di remembers that this kind of flashlight was only used at home when he was a child.
Fearing that Sister Fang might have an accident, Xu Di jogged all the way and soon arrived at the building where Aunt Wang and her family lived.
"Xu Di, here."
Aunt Wang and the others had already helped Sister Fang down and placed her on the prepared cart.
"Auntie Wang, what's going on?"
"It's okay. I just started to labor. I won't give birth that soon. Let's go to the hospital first. You can take Ankang home."
Xu Di looked at Ankang, whose eyes were filled with tears. He was woken up from his sleep.
"Ankang, auntie, go find your sister, okay? I'll take you to find mom and dad tomorrow morning after you wake up."
"Okay, Auntie, you must take me to see my parents and grandma tomorrow."
"Okay, it's a deal."
Xu Di held the little guy's hand and let Aunt Wang and the others go first.
"Okay, Xu Di, I'll leave Ankang to you."
Brother Liang pushed the cart forward, while Aunt Wang followed behind with a flashlight to illuminate the way.
"Ankang, let's go. Auntie will carry you."
Xu Di squatted down, carried Ankang on his back, held a flashlight, and slowly walked home.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Nuannuan crying.
"My sister is crying."
"Well, my sister is hungry. Auntie will go and feed her. Can Ankang sit on the sofa for a while?"
"Okay, auntie."
Ankang sat on the sofa. Aunt Wu came out of Xu Di's room, holding a warm ceramic basin with her diapers in it.
"Grandma, give it to me. Nuannuan is hungry."
"I'm hungry. I have to eat when it's time to eat. Otherwise, I'll cry loudly. I really can't stand any injustice."
Grandma smiled as she looked at Nuannuan who was drinking milk with big mouthfuls of milk. What a little charlatan.
"This child has a quick temper."
Xu Di touched the hair by Nuannuan's ear, which was wet with tears.
"By the way, how is your sister Fang?"
"Auntie Wang said that she just started to labor and that the baby won't come soon. They went to the hospital and I carried Ankang back directly. Tomorrow morning, I will take him to the hospital and visit Sister Fang."
"Okay, I'll ask your Aunt Wu to make some food tomorrow morning and you can bring it directly to them."
Grandma Qian knows her cooking skills, so she won’t embarrass herself and lets Xiao Xu work harder.
"Okay, grandma, Ankang is in the living room. Ask him if he wants to sleep with you or with me tonight."
"Okay, I'll go ask him."
Grandma Qian went out, and Xu Di changed Nuannuan's direction so that she could eat the rations on the other side.
After eating and drinking, Nuannuan yawned slightly.
Xu Di held her upright and patted her to make her burp.
"Okay, little Nuannuan baby, it's time to go to sleep." Xu Di put the child into the crib and covered her with her quilt.
The crib has guardrails around it, so there's no need to worry about Nuannuan turning over and falling to the ground.
Because the double beds nowadays are not like the double beds of later generations, which are 1.8 meters by 2 meters.
At that time, most double beds were 1.5 meters by 2 meters.
Xu Di was afraid that the child would be accidentally crushed at night, so she always let her sleep in a small bed.
Xu Di planned to find time to get a single bed of similar height and put the two beds together to make a big bed.
From now on, she can sleep in a real big bed with Nuannuan.
After Xu Di settled Nuannuan down, he got up and went to the living room to see how Ankang was doing.
There was no one in the living room. Xu Di quietly walked to her grandmother's door and heard her coaxing Ankang to sleep.
Xu Di understood that Ankang also slept with his grandmother at home. So, he was not opposed to sleeping with Grandma Qian.
Xu Di returned to her room. She was tired after all this trouble.
The next morning, Xu Di got up, washed, changed Nuannuan's diaper, fed her, and washed her diaper before going to eat.
"Grandma, Ankang hasn't woken up yet?"
"Not awake yet. I was tossing and turning last night and I'm halfway unconscious.
Xiaodi, go to the hospital later to bring some food to your Aunt Wang and the others, and check on whether your sister Fang has given birth.
If you have nothing to do, just go to work.
Ankang should stay here for now. There are too many people in the hospital and your Aunt Wang doesn’t have the time to take care of him.
At noon, you made a hard trip and took Ankang to see his mother. ”
"Okay, I get it, Grandma."
After finishing his breakfast, Xu Di went to the hospital carrying his lunch box and soup bucket.
It was still early and the doctor had not yet come to work. Xu Di went to the nurses' station first and asked where Sister Fang's ward was.
Xu Di found the ward and went in.
"Auntie Wang, how is Sister Fang? Did she give birth?"
"She gave birth not long after arriving here yesterday. Both mother and child are safe!"
"That's great, congratulations, Aunt Wang, congratulations, Aunt Wang."
Xu Di knew that Aunt Wang was happy not only because she had another grandson.
The Liang family has been a single-line family for several generations, and it is a true single-line family. There is only one male in each generation, and no females.
This time, not only do we have a second child, but it's also a boy. How can we not be happy?
"Auntie Wang, this is the porridge Auntie Wu cooked, along with buns and boiled eggs.
You eat something later, and let Sister Fang have some too.
Ankang hasn't woken up yet. Grandma told him to play at home first and I will bring him over after get off work at noon.
Let him stay at home for the next few days, and you can take him home when Sister Fang is discharged from the hospital. ”
"Okay, thank you so much Aunt Qian and Sister Wu. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Di."
"Auntie Wang, given our relationship, there's no need to be polite.
I'm going to work first and will come back at noon. ”
Xu Di was afraid of being late, so he left quickly.
In the morning, when Xu Di went back to feed Nuannuan, Ankang had already woken up and looked a little unhappy.
"Aunt, when are you going to go find mom and grandma?"
"After lunch, auntie will take you to see mom and grandma, okay?"
"Well, I can't forget it."
"No, Auntie will feed my sister first."
Xu Di carried Nuannuan back to the room. The little girl was so impatient.
Before Xu Di even started to unbutton her clothes, her little hands had already started pulling.
"Nuan Nuan, baby, don't be so anxious. Mommy unbuttoned your clothes for you."
“Ah…ah…”
She kept warming her hands and shouting "ah ah".
Xu Di unbuttoned his clothes, and Nuannuan immediately found the rations and ate them very hard.
Xu Di hurriedly finished feeding the baby and returned to work.
At noon, after lunch and feeding Nuannuan, I took Ankang to the hospital.
"Mom, grandma, woo woo..."
Ankang felt very aggrieved after not seeing his grandma and mom for a whole night, and started to cry.
"Ankang, mom is here to give birth to a little brother. Ankang is the older brother now."
"Brother, not sister? I want a sister, a sister like the one in my aunt's family, not a brother, wuwu..."
Ankang's tears, which had just stopped flowing, began to flow out again as if a floodgate had been opened.
"Ankang, what's wrong?"
As soon as Liang Bo came in, he saw his eldest son crying.
"Daddy, I want a younger sister, not a younger brother. I want a younger sister, wuwu..."
Looking at Ankang who was crying, Xu Di couldn't help but want to laugh.
After saying hello to Aunt Wang, she held back her laughter and went home first. There was still more than half an hour before work, so she went home to lie down for a while.
I didn’t sleep well last night, so I feel a little tired today. It’s convenient that my workplace is close to home!
Xu Di sighed in his heart without stopping and soon reached home.
