"What are you talking about? You seem so happy."
Lu Jingchuan came into the room after breakfast, brought a plate of fruit to Gong Linglong, and sat down beside the bed to feed her.
After he came back yesterday, Gong Linglong had not had time to tell him about Ruan Yumian and the Ruan family. Now she told him what Jiang Yun had just said, so that he would have a better idea of the situation.
"She changed her surname and severed ties with the Ruan family. Now she's a member of the Ruan family. Whatever she does has nothing to do with us."
Lu Jingchuan had no feelings for the Ruan family mother and daughter, and didn't even want to talk about them. He turned to ask Jiang Yun, "Junior sister, have you set a date for the wedding? What are your plans after the wedding? Will you live with mom, or go out and live on your own?"
"It's set. April 8th."
"Grandpa Gong prepared a large courtyard house for my sister-in-law as a dowry and has already started renovating it. My sister-in-law plans to move there after she is transferred back to Beijing. Your family of five can arrange your own homes, and we will live with my mother-in-law. Otherwise, she will be too lonely at home alone."
Lu Jingchuan still didn't know about the dowry for the courtyard house, so Gong Linglong smiled and told him, "The dowry my grandfather gave me as a replacement for my wedding was the former property of the Gong family. It's near the imperial palace, and my uncle has arranged for people to renovate it."
"After three months of training, I've become the grandson-in-law of a wealthy family. I'm still a little uncomfortable with it. Let me take it easy." Lu Jingchuan joked to himself.
When he came back yesterday, he also received greeting gifts from the elders of the Gong family. They were really lavish and generous, one more than the other. His grandfather gave him a car, his aunt gave him a building in a prosperous area of Guangzhou, and his second uncle and his wife gave him a passbook with a deposit of 100,000 yuan.
These gifts were so lavish and valuable that he only took a look at them before handing them over to Gong Linglong for safekeeping. He didn't have anything good to offer in return, so he gave a piece of top-grade M-country jade rough stone that he had obtained during the overseas training to his second uncle's four children as a gift.
Jiang Yun laughed heartily and teased him, "Second Brother, you should learn from Master. Master has long since adapted to being the son-in-law of a wealthy man and now lives very comfortably here."
On the wedding day of his master and mother-in-law, he did not come back to attend, nor did he receive the good news in time. Lu Jingchuan still felt a little regretful about this.
Zhou Lanqin chatted with Gong Jingyi outside and came into the room. She pulled her son away and sat down beside the bed. She helped Gong Linglong massage her swollen legs and instructed her son to pack up and prepare for hospitalization in the afternoon.
Today's reunion dinner was jointly prepared by Gong Wantang and Wen Huixuan, sister-in-law. Half of the dishes were famous mainland dishes, and the other half were specialties from Hong Kong. Two large round tables were set up in the living room.
This year is a very special year, a very extraordinary year, spent in a mixture of great sorrow and great joy.
On New Year's Eve, firecrackers were set off all over Kyoto, with a loud bang, bidding farewell to the misfortunes of the past year and welcoming the arrival of the new year in a lively atmosphere.
Before the reunion dinner was served, Gong Kaizhou personally lit firecrackers, dispersing the dark clouds and fog that had shrouded the Gong family for nearly twenty years.
The elders sat at one table, and the four of Lu Jingchuan sat at the same table with the four brothers and sisters of Gong Zhongxi.
Although the four children did not grow up in the mainland, they are full of heroic dreams like other children, and they have a deep-seated admiration for the soldiers who defend their country.
The four of them are all lively and outgoing, with a strong desire for knowledge. They chatted happily at the dinner table and were excitedly looking forward to their brother-in-law performing a martial arts show for them.
In order to fulfill the children's wishes, after a short rest after dinner, Lu Jingchuan and Jiang Yun had a sparring match on the spot, and both the senior and junior brothers and sisters showed their true skills.
Jiang Yun's fighting skills were among the best among the female comrades, but she was still a little behind Lu Jingchuan, especially after three months of intensive training. His fighting skills had obviously improved, and every move he made was sharp and precise, without a trace of pretense. However, after just ten rounds, Jiang Yun was clearly at a disadvantage.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, everything was ready at home. Han Ji called the Military General Hospital. After confirming that everything was ready, they set off for the hospital.
It was not yet time for delivery, so Gong Linglong did not invite all the elders to go. She only wanted Lu Jingchuan and her mother-in-law to accompany her.
After arriving at the hospital, I had a simple check-up. The afternoon was calm and the evening was still peaceful.
Gong Linglong was in a very good mood. She ate and drank as usual, closed her eyes and took a rest when she was sleepy, and chatted with them about small matters. She did not feel nervous at all about giving birth.
On New Year's Eve, every family gathers around the fire to stay up all night, and the sound of firecrackers outside is getting louder and louder, with no stopping rhythm.
"There's no movement now. Looks like we have to wait until tomorrow."
Zhou Lanqin also stayed by his side, and when she saw that it was almost twelve o'clock, she got up and planned to lie down on the bed next door to rest.
As she stood up, Gong Linglong's expression suddenly changed and her voice soared: "Mom, Brother Jing, I think I'm about to give birth."
Lu Jingchuan immediately jumped up, "Linglong, is your water broken?"
"right."
Upon hearing that the amniotic fluid had broken, Lu Jingchuan immediately ran out to call the obstetrician, and Zhou Lanqin also followed the doctor's instructions to help check her.
When the doctor arrived, the New Year's bell was ringing outside.
"These triplets really know how to pick their time."
The doctor confirmed that the birth was imminent and that the onset was rapid, so he immediately arranged: "Captain Lu, please come and help take Comrade Gong to the delivery room for delivery."
Seeing that her cervix was opening very quickly, Zhou Lanqin immediately borrowed the hospital phone and called the Gong, Lu, and Zhou families, and also called Lu Nanzheng when her son sent the baby to the delivery room.
The Gong family lived close to the hospital and arrived first. Except for Gong Jingyi, Wen Huixuan and her mother and son, everyone else arrived.
Gong Wantang hurried over and asked as soon as she arrived, "Mother-in-law, is Jingchuan in the delivery room with me?"
"Yes, he went in."
"Okay, you guys wait outside, I'll go in and guard it."
Gong Wantang knocked on the door, carrying her own medicine box, and said to her son-in-law who was guarding the bed: "Jingchuan, you go out, I'll take care of Linglong."
"Mom, I won't go out. I'll stay here with you." Lu Jingchuan wanted to accompany her at the critical moment.
"Brother Jing, get out."
Gong Linglong had been persuading him to leave. She didn't want the man to see the experience of giving birth. The birth process was bloody and not pleasant, and she didn't want him to have a psychological trauma.
"Jingchuan, go wait outside. You will disturb Linglong if you stay here."
Gong Wantang immediately pushed him out with force, pushed him outside, and locked the door of the delivery room.
