Yun Jin waited in the family compound for a while. Li Aimei stayed by Yun Jin's side and brought all the necessary things: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Commander He will be back soon and we can go to the hospital right away."
"When my mom gave birth to me, everyone said I was a debt collector. It took her a whole day and night to give birth to me, but now I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
Yun Jin: "..."
You are good at comforting people.
Looking at Yun Jin, whose face was pale with fright, Sister Gao gave Li Aimei a wink: "Don't worry, your belly looks fine for childbirth. You go out for walks every day, so there won't be any problems."
Yun Jin felt comforted.
After waiting anxiously for almost an hour, there was still no sign of He Tingchuan.
Yun Jin's belly tightened and sagged, and waves of pain came over her. Sister-in-law Gao, who was experienced, said that she was indeed about to give birth, but it would still be some time before she actually delivered the baby.
Yun Jin desperately wanted to call He Tingchuan, but unfortunately she didn't have a cell phone with her, so she couldn't make the call even if she wanted to.
Her stomach pain was getting worse, and Yun Jin couldn't wait any longer: "I'll go to the hospital myself. Aren't there buses? Let's take the bus."
Yun Jin was afraid that by the time He Tingchuan returned, she would have already given birth.
She wouldn't dare give birth without going to the hospital.
Sister-in-law Gao had no objections.
Li Aimei, carrying bags and packages, and Gao's wife, each on one side, helped Yun Jin downstairs.
As soon as they came downstairs, a military green jeep sped toward their apartment building. Its menacing appearance frightened Yun Jin and the others so much that they stood frozen in place.
He Tingchuan drove the jeep like an airplane. When he saw Yun Jin being helped by someone, his heart sank. He steadily parked the car in front of them, opened the door with a bang, and got out. His handsome face was already serious.
His handsome face was tense with nervousness, and his brows were slightly furrowed. "I'm sorry I'm late. Get in the car quickly, I'll take you to the hospital. How's your stomach? How are you? Does it hurt?"
Enraged, Yun Jin punched him.
To He Tingchuan, her strength was nothing more than a tickle.
He took her hand and pulled her into his arms, carrying her in a princess carry to the back seat of the jeep. He carefully settled her in, his deep eyes fixed on her anxiously: "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine once we get to the hospital."
Yun Jin nodded: "Don't drive too fast." The roads nowadays aren't as smooth as the asphalt roads of later generations.
The road is full of potholes, and it's so bumpy that it feels like your bones are going to fall apart.
Yun Jin was so afraid that she might accidentally give birth in the car while she was being jostled around.
Sister-in-law Gao and Li Aimei followed, accompanying Yun Jin on either side.
He Tingchuan had to go back to get the maternity bag. Seeing that Li Aimei had it hanging around her neck, he immediately put it on the passenger seat, signaling them to sit properly. With the greatest patience he could muster, he drove the jeep at a snail's pace.
A man riding a bicycle with his wife on the back, seeing the jeep moving at a snail's pace, curiously caught up and asked, "Comrade, is your vehicle broken?"
He Tingchuan: "..."
Sister-in-law Gao: "......"
Li Aimei: "......."
Yun Jin was in so much pain she couldn't bear to look: "Actually, it would be fine to go a little faster."
He Tingchuan had no choice but to accelerate, driving at 30 miles per hour, turning what should have been a 15-minute journey into a 30-minute drive before finally parking the car in front of the hospital.
Yun Jin, already drenched in sweat from the pain, was carried to the hospital by He Tingchuan. She clutched her stomach and watched as He Tingchuan, dressed in a military uniform, stood tall and strong, with a cold and composed expression.
It must be admitted that He Tingchuan is very suitable for wearing military uniforms; he gives people a strong sense of security when he wears one.
Feeling safe and secure against him, Yun Jin suddenly realized that having him by her side made childbirth less of a threat.
When Yun Jin was taken to the delivery room, she said to He Tingchuan, "If I can't give birth naturally, you'll be in big trouble if you don't give me a C-section."
He Tingchuan: "Listen to the doctor."
Only after receiving reassurance did Yun Jin let go of her hand, and she was pushed into the delivery room by the nurse.
He Tingchuan wanted to follow, but was stopped by a nurse: "The delivery room is a restricted area. Only women in labor are allowed to enter. Family members should wait outside."
As she spoke, she glanced at He Tingchuan's military uniform. Judging from his shoulder insignia, he was a regimental commander.
It's unbelievable that someone so young could become a regimental commander and still dote on his wife so much. The woman in the picture is truly enviable.
Li Aimei and Sister-in-law Gao were also waiting outside. Sister-in-law Gao was experienced, so she wasn't too worried.
Li Aimei had seen her mother give birth and knew how painful it was, so she was a little worried.
He Tingchuan was different. He was completely lost and helpless. He stood against the wall with a seemingly expressionless face, staring intently at the closed delivery room door. Only he knew the fear and anxiety in his heart.
For some reason, that nightmare I had a long time ago resurfaced in my mind.
I dreamt of a body being pulled out of a lake...
Realizing he was overthinking, He Tingchuan clenched his fist, went to the restroom, and splashed his face with cold water to prevent himself from thinking about the nightmare at this moment.
It's unclear how long He Tingchuan waited outside, but several more women were brought into the delivery room. Each time the door opened, the painful screams of the women could be heard.
He Tingchuan listened carefully but couldn't hear Yun Jin's voice.
He panicked and asked the nurse, "How is my wife?"
Who is your wife?
"Yun Jin, my wife's name is Yun Jin!" He Tingchuan shouted to the nurse.
The nurse went in and came out carrying a baby. He Tingchuan almost grabbed the baby: "My wife gave birth so quickly, how is she?"
"Are Zheng Meimei's family members here?" The nurse warily avoided his hand: "Your wife is still giving birth, she's only three centimeters dilated. Please step back a little, don't block other family members from picking up their babies."
