Chapter 23 The Abandoned Capitalist Lady in the 1950s
At night, since many families had not bought food or pots, Ning Ning's family did not dare to make any special arrangements, for fear that someone would smell the food. People nowadays have very sensitive noses.
I just cooked some porridge and made some cold dishes.
"Xiao Ning, just eat something for now. I'll ask Dayong to make you some chicken soup tonight."
"Mom, you and Dajun shouldn't leave tonight. Stay here. The rooms over there are still empty.
In the evening, we all drank some chicken soup together.
Besides, we bought a pot today, but you don’t have anyone to cook at home, so you will have to make another trip tomorrow morning.
Besides, look at my belly. I won't give birth for many days. I'll need your and Xiaojun's help then. It's better for you to stay here now and leave after I give birth."
Mother Lu thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense. There was no one at her eldest daughter-in-law's family, so she was the only one to help with the confinement. The house was spacious, and she and Xiaojun living here would not cause any trouble to her eldest son.
Moreover, my daughter-in-law's belly is big and she is pregnant with twins. There is a high possibility of premature birth. She will have to come to take care of her during the confinement period. It is not a bad idea for her to come earlier.
It is already spring. After moving in, Lu's mother took her two older sons to plow the land in the yard and planted sweet potatoes and potatoes all over it.
When they went out to harvest food some time ago, they could clearly feel the shortage of food.
This year I decided not to grow those vegetables and just grow these two high-yield crops. At least when times get tough, I won’t starve.
He also took advantage of the day off to go to the countryside and catch a few old hens, secretly raising them in the cellar, waiting to make soup with them when Ning Ning was in confinement.
Ning Ning has also taken leave to stay at home to prepare for the birth of her baby. Her belly is so big now that the section chief doesn't dare to ask her to go to work for fear of danger.
Not until most people in the alley had bought pots did Lu Dajun take the ironware he had secretly hidden and return to the slum.
The house over there cannot be left empty forever. If no one lives there, the factory can take it back, and that would be a loss.
So Lu Dajun went back to live, and Lu Ma continued to stay here.
Just after dinner that night, Ning Ning felt her stomach sinking and told Lu Ma about her feelings. Lu Ma thought about it and thought that she might be about to give birth. After all, it was twins, so premature birth was common.
"Let's go to the hospital right away. Regardless of whether you're going to give birth or not, we should stay there for the safety of our own safety. We don't care about the cost of the hospitalization for a few days. You and the baby are the most important."
As she said that, she hurried to call Lu Dayong, took the bag she had prepared for giving birth, and hurried to the hospital.
After checking in the hospital, it turned out that it was indeed time, but the birth canal had not opened yet. They told me to walk first so that the birth would be smoother.
After completing the hospitalization procedures, several people came to the ward.
There was already a woman in labor in the ward, being helped by her mother-in-law to stand up. "Zhao Di, come, let's get up and walk around again. You've eaten so many good things during this pregnancy, you must do your best to honor me and give me a big, fat grandson."
"Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely do my best this time. I have a feeling this will definitely be a son."
Ning Ning was so shocked by the conversation between the two that she stood there in a daze for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, Ning Ning continued to walk forward and sat on her bed.
Lu Ma and Lu Dayong just thought Ning Ning had a stomachache and didn't think too much about it. When they saw Ning Ning sitting down, they busied themselves packing up the things they brought from home.
Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, the light flashed on the phone again, a new novel appeared, and a new memory appeared in my mind.
This time it is a story of exchanging babies. The woman in the next bed will give birth to a daughter this time. This is her fourth daughter.
Ning Ning gave birth to two sons, but this woman replaced one of her sons with her own daughter.
After Ning Ning woke up, she found that something was wrong with her child. She was so anxious that she immediately called the police, but the child was still not found. Ning Ning died of heavy bleeding due to her anxiety.
This is the memory that came this time.
Time was urgent, and Ning Ning had no time to read the contents of the new novel. She also didn't know why Lu Ma and Lu Dayong were there and didn't find out that the baby had been swapped until Ning Ning woke up.
As long as the child was not replaced, nothing would have happened. Now is not the time to read that story.
"Dayong, I'm pregnant with two children. I heard there might be cases of child theft in the hospital, and I can't let it go.
I can't give birth for the time being, so you should go back and call Xiaojun over.
As for the two children, I will feel more at ease if you two each take care of one.
Mom can sleep well at night."
"Okay, I'll go right away. Just tell Mom what you want."
Although Lu Dayong felt that his wife was a little too nervous, he didn't say anything.
After all, the baby is about to be born, and my wife is very nervous. As long as she feels that this will make her feel at ease, there is no problem, and it would be nice to ask Xiaojun to help.
Mother Lu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She was also very nervous when she gave birth to her first child. Xiaojun was a big boy and it wouldn't be tiring for him to run all the way. The most important thing now was to ease the mood of the mother.
"Don't panic, Xiaoning. When Xiaojun comes, I will definitely tell him and Dayong to take good care of the baby. Just be at ease and don't think about anything else. Just focus on giving birth to the baby. Mom will take care of everything!"
The old lady in the next bed asked Lu Ma, "This is your daughter. Why didn't her in-laws come?"
Mother Lu smiled and said, "I am her mother-in-law, we are all her husband's family!"
The old lady then asked, "How many babies have you had? Your belly is quite big."
Mother Lu responded, "This is the first child, and my daughter-in-law is a little nervous. I'll help her walk outside. Sister-in-law, we can talk when we have time."
In fact, Mrs. Lu looked down on the behavior of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law next door and didn't want to talk to them much.
Boys and girls are all our own children.
From what they said, if you give birth to a daughter, she won't even be worthy of eating any good food.
If you don't feel sorry for your own child, how can you expect others to feel sorry for you? That mother is also a heartless person.
Afraid that Ning Ning would overthink things, Lu's mother began to comfort her after leaving the ward, "Our Lu family doesn't discriminate against boys. We like both boys and girls. Don't let that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law affect your mood."
"Yeah, I know. Mom is the best."
Looking at Ning Ning, Mother Lu thought that it would be nice to have two granddaughters who looked like Ning Ning. They would be small and soft, and would definitely be very cute when they acted coquettishly.
She only gave birth to two sons in her life. She was not lucky enough to have a daughter, but at least she could have two granddaughters.
In the second half of the night, Ning Ning entered the delivery room.
When the sun just rose, she gave birth to two sons.
She was afraid that the baby would be swapped again, and even though Xiaojun had arrived, she was still worried. While the doctor was not paying attention, she quickly stuffed a Peiyuan Pill into her mouth, hoping that her body would recover faster.
After leaving the delivery room, I saw Lu Dayong and Lu's mother, and she reminded them: "Watch the baby carefully. Someone must be with the baby at all times."
Lu Dayong took Ning Ning's hand and said, "Relax, I promise to take good care of it. Don't worry about it, just rest well."
After all, he was exhausted. Even after taking Peiyuan Dan, he still needed to recuperate slowly.
After receiving the assurance, Ning Ning gradually fell asleep. Lu Dayong and others held the child and pushed Ning Ning to the ward.
Ning Ning didn't know how long she had been asleep when she suddenly felt a panic attack. She woke up with a start and saw the woman in the next bed who was about to pick up her little son.
Ning Ning jumped off the bed, stepped on the ground with her bare feet, pulled the woman back, stood in front of the child's bed, and shouted: "What are you doing!"
The woman had already changed her clothes and packed her things, and was planning to take Ning Ning's son and run away, but she didn't expect Ning Ning to wake up at this moment.
