Chapter 189 He Yuzhu's first child is born
He Yuzhu took He Yushui into the main hall and said hello to Lu Shunyi and his wife. He Yushui found an excuse and left the main hall. He Yuzhu glanced at He Yushui's back and said, "Grandpa, grandma! I'll come to pick you up after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Lu Shunyi said, "Zhu Zi, isn't your wife's due date in May or June?! It's not appropriate to go there so early, right?!"
He Yuzhu replied, "Grandpa, there's nothing wrong with that! I know what you're worried about! We don't have much else in our family, but we have a lot of food. What I've saved over the years is enough for us to eat for five or six years. Besides, you two know the current situation in the village better than I do. My third uncle and his family are filial, so when the time comes, the food will definitely be left to you and grandma. They have to do hard labor, and you two feel sorry for them, so you will definitely leave the food for them. Instead of pushing it back and forth, you might as well come with me to live in the city."
"Old man?!" Cui Juan was somewhat persuaded by He Yuzhu.
Lu Shunyi thought about it for a few minutes and nodded, "Okay! After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, your grandmother and I will go live with you in the city."
"That's right!" He Yuzhu agreed with a smile, and was about to say something else. Lu Guodong and Lu Guoliang walked in from outside. Lu Shunyi asked, "Third brother, have the bricks and tiles been decided?!"
Lu Guoliang took out the order form and said, "It's already been ordered. After the fifth day of the New Year, we'll go pick it up. I'll go find my fourth uncle and say hello to him later."
After having lunch at Lu's house, He Yuzhu and He Yushui returned home around 2 p.m. After sending He Yuzhu and his sister away, Lu Guoliang said to Lu Shunyi, "Dad, Zhuzi brought a lot of food today."
Lu Shunyi said: "When your brother leaves, let them take a bag with them. No matter what time it is, as long as you have food in your hands, you won't be worried."
"Hey!" Lu Guoliang responded. Lu Guodong, who was standing next to him, said, "Dad, that's not necessary!"
Lu Shunyi glared at Lu Guodong and said, "You haven't seen it as clearly as that kid Zhuzi. Just listen to me on this matter. When you go back, take a bag with you."
Days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year was over. Due to food shortages, the workers' working hours did not change, but the factory stopped providing breakfast, only lunch. White flour steamed buns were provided before, but now they are no longer provided, and even two-grain flour steamed buns are limited in supply. The number of dishes has been reduced from four to two. Even the leaders' small kitchen has stopped.
Without a special kitchen, He Yuzhu had a lot of free time. He went to work on time and left work on time every day. On June 1st, before dawn, Huang Ying suddenly had a stomachache. He Yuzhu immediately realized that his wife was about to give birth. Without giving him time to think, He Yuzhu picked up his wife and went downstairs. He put Huang Ying on the tricycle and pushed the tricycle out of the courtyard.
It was probably the cry of Huang Ying that gave He Yuzhu the motivation. It would normally take half an hour to get to the hospital, but this time it only took a quarter of an hour. When he arrived at the hospital, He Yuzhu didn't bother to lock the car. He picked up Huang Ying and ran into the hospital building, shouting, "Doctor! My wife is about to give birth!"
The nurse on duty heard the cry and immediately pushed the flatbed cart in front of He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu put Huang Ying on the flatbed cart. The nurse immediately pushed the flatbed cart into the operating room and blocked He Yuzhu at the door of the operating room.
Hearing the screams coming from the operating room, He Yuzhu's heart seemed to be lifted up. After staying for two or three minutes, He Yuzhu ran out, pushed the tricycle into the parking shed, locked it, and ran back to the door of the operating room.
About half an hour later, He Yushui and Wang Xia arrived. He Yuzhu was slightly startled when he saw the two people who suddenly appeared, and asked, "Why are you here?!"
Wang Xia said, "I encountered rain on the road and knew your wife was about to give birth, so I came to see her."
He Yushui asked: "Brother, how is my sister-in-law?!"
He Yuzhu replied: "It's still inside!"
Wang Xia comforted him: "Zhu Zi, don't worry. Huang Ying will be fine."
"Wow!" As a loud cry came from the operating room, He Yuzhu was stunned and muttered to himself: "It's born?!"
Not long after, the door of the operating room opened, and the nurse came out and asked, "Who is Huang Ying's family member?!"
He Yuzhu hurried forward and said, "I'm her husband!"
The nurse said, "Congratulations! Both mother and child are safe. Here is the payment slip. Please go to the payment window and pay the money. We will send the child and your wife out after the cleaning is completed."
"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded and ran to the payment window not far away with the payment slip.
There were not many people in the hospital at this time. He Yuzhu quickly paid the bill. Then he returned to the door of the operating room without stopping. Before He Yuzhu could stand still, the door of the operating room opened. Huang Ying was pushed out, and the nurse handed the swaddling clothes to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu took the child, ran to Huang Ying's side without even looking at her, and asked, "Wife, are you okay?!"
Huang Ying smiled and shook her head, then closed her eyes. Two nurses pushed a flatbed cart and took Huang Ying to the ward. After Huang Ying was moved to the bed, the two nurses left.
Wang Xia said, "Zhu Zi, Ying Zi is fine, I will leave first. I will come back at noon. Wait a minute, I will ask for leave from the steel mill for you, and also tell your grandpa and grandma."
He Yuzhu said solemnly: "Thank you, Aunt Wang!"
He Yushui followed and said, "Brother, sister-in-law is fine, I'm going to study first."
"Go!" He Yuzhu watched Wang Xia and He Yushui leave the ward, walked to the bedside, looked at the sleeping Huang Ying, sighed unconsciously, looked at the child in his arms, and said, "Boy, you've made your mother suffer a lot this time! If you dare to be unfilial to your mother in the future, I will make you go back to school."
A little after ten o'clock in the morning, Lv Taishan brought Lv Shunyi and his wife to the hospital. After entering the ward, Cui Juan couldn't wait to ask, "Zhu Zi, how is it? Is your wife okay?!"
"Grandpa, grandma!" He Yuzhu stood up quickly, asked the two old people to sit down, and said, "She's fine. The doctor said she'll be fine after a while of sleep!"
Cui Juan took the child from He Yuzhu's hand and said with a smile, "As the old saying goes, three generations of a family will stay together. This kid is really like your fourth uncle when he was a child."
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It seems that this child is really destined to be with our family."
Lu Shunyi asked: "Zhu Zi, have you chosen a name for the child?!"
He Yuzhu replied, "He Bing, nicknamed Ah Fu." Then he looked at Lu Taishan and asked, "Why are you here too?!"
Lu Taishan said, "I just came back from work and met Director Wang from the Street Office. She said your wife gave birth. I came to see, is there anything I can help with?!"
Cui Juan said, "Zhu Zi, I made some porridge for your wife. When she wakes up, heat it up for her to drink."
"Thank you, grandma!" He Yuzhu took the thermos bucket from Lu Shunyi, put it on the bedside table, and said, "Grandma, please keep an eye on it for me. I'll go back and make some chicken soup and come back."
Lu Shunyi said: "Go ahead! We are here, don't worry!"
"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded, and just as he was about to leave, Huang Ying woke up. He Yuzhu heard the noise, immediately stopped, walked to the bedside, and asked: "Wife, how do you feel?!"
Huang Ying replied weakly: "Not bad!"
He Yuzhu then asked, "Are you hungry? Grandma brought some porridge over."
