Chapter 85: Giving birth

"Aunt Qin. I'm sorry. I've been hiding it from you for so long. I?? I can't help it. I'm afraid you won't rent me the house."

Aunt Qin shook her head. Alas, he sighed and said, "Alas. It's me who has a lot of trouble. I'm thinking of introducing you to my nephew."

"Ahh

"My eldest nephew works in Shenzhen. The work mixes well. But at the age of thirty-five, he still hasn't started a family. I spoke to him on the phone the other day. He also said to find a time to come back and have a look. Alas. I'm so eventful. I don't want to ask you what you mean in advance."

Qiao Xinwei looked at her aunt embarrassedly. I don't know what to say for a while.

Aunt Qin took her hand and asked her to sit down. He said, "You should have sued me sooner and I can help you??"

Qiao Xinwei looked at Aunt in surprise. I was very moved. It's full of warmth.

"Heart-only. Usually you look like you're alone. You don't have anyone here. You big belly out and live alone. The family doesn't know. Where's your husband?"

Husband. It's been a long time since anyone asked. Now suddenly asked. Her heart still throbs.

"What about your mother's family?"

Look at her with her head down in embarrassment. Aunt Qin couldn't bear to continue to ask." You must have something difficult. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I'll just ask you. You're planning to give birth to a child here alone."

Qiao Xinwei nodded.

"Oh, you're really thinking about having a baby too simply. You still have to be confined after giving birth. You also have to take care of the children. You definitely can't do it alone. And. When a woman gives birth to a child, she goes to the ghost gate to go around in a circle. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. You'd better still inform your family. Even if it's a friend."

Qiao Xinwei still bowed her head and remained silent. She doesn't want Jing Shang and Yang Jiajia to have a conflict because of herself, she doesn't want her mother to be so embarrassed in Jing's house because of herself, and her friends Arnold and Xiaozhi, she doesn't want to take this risk.

"You kid. Why are you so stubborn??" Aunt Qin said worriedly. I've never seen a woman pregnant as big as you. This day is the same. The belly is bigger. It will be more inconvenient for you to move. It's hard for you to go to the hospital alone."

Qiao Xinwei had no choice but to say helplessly: "I've thought about all of this. It's also close to the hospital. If you want to give birth, you will pass. Just in time. Please confinement sister-in-law. I'll take it with me when I'm out of confinement."

"What is the due date?"

"End of October."

Aunt Qin was silent for a while. Say, "Otherwise, kid. When you get off work, you'll come to my place for dinner. I'll make you something nutritious. You see you're still so thin this month. How can this be done? You don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children."

Qiao Xinwei lowered her head. Tears were rolling in my eyes.

"Sister-in-law, I can introduce you to a good one. She also took care of my daughter-in-law when she was confined. Very good. People are in our community. I'll tell her tomorrow that she can get October and November free."

"Thank you. Aunt Qin. Thanks??" I thought that Aunt Qin would not rent a house for her if she knew that she was pregnant. I didn't expect Aunt Qin to not do this. And so helpful. She was so ashamed.

"Alas. I don't know what you've been through before. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. You can live here in peace. Call me for anything. I'm right across the street."

Qiao Xinwei nodded. Two lines of tears hung straight down." Thank you. Thank you." She really didn't know what to say. There are still many good people in this world.

Hot summer. Electricity is scarce. There are frequent power outages in the old community. She already has a bad night's sleep, and it is even more difficult for her to fall asleep. When I can't sleep. She does it most often. It's half-lying in bed. Place your hands gently on your stomach. Quietly wait for the fetal baby to give her a response.

The third trimester has a big belly. It made her back sore. Sitting sour. Lying down is also sour. Sometimes I can't fall asleep after tossing and turning all night. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to fall asleep early. but he woke up in the middle of the night. Then you can only open your eyes until dawn.

In the dead of night. She would also cry silently. Maybe it's not long enough. Thinking of mom. Thinking of Jiang Hao. She'll still have heartache.

But. It was a long 10-month ordeal that was nothing. Giving birth to a child is a painful process that makes her afraid.

The amniotic water broke in the middle of the night. A water-like liquid flows out from below. I can't stop it. Her legs trembled with fear.

Aunt Qin has also paid more attention to the movement of the door these days. As soon as I heard Xinwei's cry for help. She rushed over at once.

Hospital. Obstetric Emergency. The doctor asked, "Where's your maternity health book?"

"Nope."

"Don't you even do a prenatal checkup?"

"Nope."

"And what about your birth permit?"

"Nope."

"Where's your husband? What about your family?"

"Nope."

The doctor was dumbfounded. This woman is too bold." You don't meet the conditions of our hospital."

Qiao Xinwei thinks that she can bear it. But the pain was more intense than it was unbearable. She took the doctor's hand. Say: "Doctor. I bear the consequences myself. I can afford it."

Aunt Qin is also anxious." Dr. Zhang. She rented from me. It's not easy for this kid. Pregnant until now she's alone. You see her water is broken. Your hospital doesn't accept it. Wouldn't that just tell her to die?"

Qiao Xinwei was already in so much pain that she couldn't bear it anymore. She cried and begged, "Doctor. Please. Please save my child??"

The doctor took a look. The amniotic fluid is running dry. The palace entrance is also opened. If you don't deliver a baby again. I'm afraid something will really happen. She said, "Listen well, mother. Now I'll send you to the delivery room. But you're running out of amniotic fluid. We don't know what the fetal position is like. If you can't give birth in half an hour. Then you can only have a caesarean section. Do you agree?"

"Agreed, agreed." Now she agrees with whatever the doctor says. It hurts so much.

Soon. She was wheeled into the delivery room. There are other women in the delivery room who are screaming in pain. Their families are guarding the door. Their babies have the anticipation and love of the whole family before they are even born.

Midwives are always busy. When strapping her with a fetal heart rate monitor. For the first time, she heard the baby's fetal heartbeat. The same sound as a small train. Beating strongly and violently.

At that moment. She felt like an extremely incompetent mother. Also very selfish.

Baby. You must be safe. Mom will definitely give you all her love.

"The mouth of the palace is wide open. The fetal position is normal. The double parietal neck 9.0 is very suitable for normal delivery."

Qiao Xinwei vaguely heard the doctors talking. The midwife came over and patted her face. Say, "Mother, be sober. When the labor pains come, you are strained. After a long time, the baby will be deprived of oxygen, and it will be dangerous. You know."

Qiao Xinwei nodded. What are you afraid of? As long as the child can be born safely and smoothly. What are you afraid of? And the pain does not die.

After a period of great pain in which the heavens and the earth were shattered. Suddenly. She felt a burst of emptiness in her stomach. The kid slipped out. At that moment. She suddenly felt comfortable. The pain was gone.

The midwife puts the baby on her belly. She looked up at the child. She thought it was incredible. That little sticky, crumpled puppy-like thing. It turned out to be her child.

The child didn't cry. She was scared to death. Why didn't the child cry?

The midwife sucks a tool in the child's mouth. In an instant. A loud cry rang in her ears. She could feel the fleshy mass on her stomach kicking and moving.

Child crying. She cried too.

The doctor came and picked up the baby. Ask her, "See for yourself. Boy or girl."

Qiao Xinwei wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. It's not the child's face that is shown to you. It's the kid's underneath. She said weakly, "Boy."

There is a small bed next to the delivery bed. The doctor carries the child to the cot and does some cleaning. It's ten centimeters away from her. She looked at the child with a sideways face. The child's eyes were wide open. Nor blinking. Seems to be looking at her too.

"Thank you. Thanks??"

Outside the window, the sky is getting brighter. The eastern sky is white. A new day has begun

Jiang Hao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up from the bed. He looked left and right. The room was empty. Nothing.

He had a sweet dream. Dream about yourself holding a small baby in the sun in the park. Then Qiao Xinwei came over and picked up the child and said that he wanted to go home to feed. He said okay. Then the screen turns. That little baby grows up. Say while running. Daddy's chasing me. Daddy's chasing me.

He ran. And he woke up. But the childish voice echoed in his ears for a long time. I want to keep sleeping and keep having that dream. But I don't feel sleepy.

He took his phone from the bedside table. Qiao Xinwei sent him the last photo he kept forever. If the child doesn't flow out. This time. He may have become a father

Under the care of Confinement Sister-in-law and Aunt Qin. Qiao Xinwei's confinement is doing well. The baby is raised white and fat. Compared to the wrinkled little old man when he was born. It's so much cuter now.

The baby is born at the dawn of the day. Qiao Xinwei named him Qiao Zaixi. Follow her last name. It's pretty good in Xi. If you are full of food and drink, you will sleep obediently. Grows fast, too. One thing a day.

Aunt Qin also likes to be in Xi. Come over often to hold the child.

With children. Time seems to pass very fast. In a New York minute. It's winter again. The wind blows. The sound of fallen leaves all over the ground in the courtyard of the community.

Qiao Xinwei took out her phone. I flipped to my grandmother's phone number and dialed it.

"I'm sorry. The number you dialed is empty."

Empty number. She was shocked. That's not wrong. This is my grandmother's number. I've fought before. She hit it again. But it's still the same." I'm sorry. The number you dialed is empty."

Qiao Xinwei was a little panicked. She doesn't have her uncle's number. Since my mother remarried, I have rarely been in contact with people on my mother's side. She doesn't have the number of a relative on her grandmother's side. Not a single one.

How did my grandmother's mobile phone number become empty, maybe the mobile phone was stolen. Or maybe my grandmother didn't continue to pay the bill because she couldn't use her mobile phone.

Now. She could only guess for no reason.
