Chapter 255: [5000 Words] (Countdown to the Ending)
After returning home, Ji Xinyao washed vegetables and prepared to cook, Shi Fang was reading a book, in the United States for more than 20 years, Shi Fang had too many things that he had not been exposed to, whether it was books or some new domestic TV series or music, etc., Xin Yao would often accompany her patiently and explain the difference of each thing for her.
Just as Xin Yao was washing the vegetables, Xiu Li arrived, said hello to Shi Fang and went into the kitchen after coming in.
"Didn't I say that I'll cook at night and I'll come over after work to help you cook? You have such a big belly now, you are still twins, you may not be able to give birth at term, from now on you may give birth at any time, you can no longer go to the supermarket and cook at will. Xiu Li snatched the dish from her hand and gently pushed her: "Did you just come back from the supermarket?" Go and rest, I'll do it. ”
"No, I can hold on to it now, it's too boring to be idle all day, even if my belly is heavier than others, I can't always lie in bed every day and wait for the child to be born, the doctor has explained before, because I want to give birth naturally, twins are already difficult, not to mention that I may have a lot of bleeding, if I don't walk and exercise often, I will suffer at that time, I'm fine, how long can I last, how long can I last, people have different physiques, and I'm not so squeamish."
Xin Yao smiled and turned around to cut the ginger acid, and then said: "You just got off work, go and chat with Aunt Shi, you haven't seen her for more than 20 years, I know that Aunt Shi must be waiting for you to come over and see her every day when you have time to come after work, don't come into the kitchen to help me, go and accompany her, talk, or go out with her, that's your mother." ”
Xiu Li's hand washing vegetables paused, and then the action of washing vegetables slowed down, and he turned his head for a moment, looking thoughtfully at Ji Xinyao who was chopping green onions.
Sensing his gaze, Xin Yao glanced back at him: "What's wrong?" Yan"
Xiu Li looked at her, didn't say anything, and handed her the washed dishes: "It's nothing, then I'll accompany her first, if you are too hard, call me, her legs and feet are inconvenient, and now I can only help you." ”
"It's so long-winded, let's go!" Xin Yao smiled and pushed him.
Thurley turned and wiped his hands, then walked out of the kitchen.
Recently, because she has been pregnant for more than nine months, Xiuli heard from a doctor friend that a pregnant woman with two children may give birth at any time when she is more than nine months old, and she may not wait until full-term, so he will come over almost every day during this time, and he will call from time to time during the day to ask about her physical condition.
Yiqiē seems to have really never changed, but in the life of her and Xiu Li, there is one more Shi Fang who is usually silent, but full of hatred.
"Let's eat." Xin Yao cooked the meal, made the dishes and chopsticks, and asked them to come over for dinner.
Xiu Li pushed Shi Fang to the table and helped Shi Fang take the dishes and chopsticks, at this time Xin Yao came out with the last dish, and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's eat." ”
And just as she sat down, Xiu Li also smiled and said to Shi Fang, "You can eat it too." ”
Shi Fang smiled, glanced at Xiu Li, and then at Xin Yao, seemingly very satisfied.
Xin Yao glanced at them, and suddenly felt a little strange: "Xiu Li, why have I never heard you call Aunt Shi's mother?" You're such a big person, shouldn't you be embarrassed to change your words? ”
Shi Fang was stunned, and Xiu Li also turned his head to look at Shi Fang: "Really?" That's what you haven't heard. ”
"You kid!" Seeing him playing tricks with him, Xin Yao stretched out her hand and slapped the back of his hand with chopsticks: "Obviously you have a problem, why don't you call your mother, how good it is to have a mother, I really don't know the blessing in the blessing!" ”
"Yaoyao, Xiu Li is just not used to it, slowly he will change his words, let's eat first, ah." Shi Fang said with a smile.
Xin Yao nodded, and glanced at Xiu Li again, and the corners of Xiu Li's mouth twitched.
"You haven't been looking back at home lately, and they're not looking for you?" After a while, Shi Fang suddenly asked Xiu Li.
Xiu Li was silent at first, and then took a bite of food, and then said lightly: "It's already a common thing that I don't look back at home, the old man knows that I have a house outside, and he doesn't dare to be too restrained, lest I be forced to be in a hurry, so I am also happy to be free." ”
As soon as they mentioned the Gu family, Xin Yao only lowered her head to eat and did not speak.
"Are you afraid that Xin Yao and I will mind your identity in the Gu family and deliberately clear up the relationship with them, lest Yaoyao turn you away?" Shi Fang smiled.
Xiu Li swallowed something, but choked: "Ahem...... Ahem......"
Xin Yao hurriedly handed him a glass of water, and quickly withdrew his hand when he took it, seeing Shi Fang looking at them with a smile, he immediately frowned secretly.
"I've finished eating, you eat slowly, my unit just called, and I was asked to help solve something, so I'll go first." As he spoke, Xiuli picked up the paper and wiped his mouth, then got up and left.
"Hey, you kid......"
Shi Fang looked back at him, but Xin Yao didn't stop her, just quietly looked at Shi Fang in front of her, and after Xiu Li left, Shi Fang sighed and turned back, Xin Yao was still looking at her.
"Aunt Shi, you really plan to live in Y City, right?" Xin Yao asked.
Shi Fang glanced at her: "Yaoyao? ”
"I know that you and my mother were very good sisters when they were young, and now that I am divorced, and Xiuli is often with you and me, you can deliberately match us in your heart, but Aunt Shi, let's not say that I am one year older than Xiuli, just say that the relationship between me and him can only be a sister-brother relationship, and I will always only treat him as a younger brother." She put down the dishes and chopsticks and said very seriously.
Shi Fang sighed, and then said: "Forget it, I just suddenly had this idea, since you don't think it's appropriate, I won't force you to do anything, anyway, I'm old now, I never thought that I would have freedom in this life, and now that I'm leaving that ghost place, with you and Xiu Li by my side, I'm satisfied, and I can't ask for too much." ”
Seeing that she was not stubborn in this regard, Xin Yao lowered her head and continued to eat with confidence.
But in my heart, it seems to be a big hole.
*********************************************************************************************
Gu Nancy did leave G City, his whereabouts were not something ordinary people could know if they wanted to know, once because they were husband and wife, he didn't need her to wait, let alone look for her, so he naturally stayed in her life.
And once he left, it seemed to be a complete stripping, Xin Yao did not deliberately inquire about Gu Nancy's whereabouts, but she could occasionally hear the citizens discuss, saying that Mayor Gu had really been transferred to leave G City more than a month ago, and there were different opinions about his whereabouts, which were nothing more than the people's blind fabrications and speculations.
What would it be like if someone who is accustomed to your life really disappears from your life and does not appear, or even disappears at all?
In Ji Xinyao's place, at least it is indescribable, and Gu Nancy really does what she says.
At that time, the twilight of the night was quiet and almost lonely, she blocked all the messages and ringtones of her mobile phone, and sat quietly in front of the window, looking out the window at the night.
Did she say that the so-called love, until the end, you will never know how fragile it is.
Okay~ This qiē was chosen by herself, and she had no choice at that moment, even if it ended, it would be a good ending, wouldn't it?
……
Two days later, more than a week before the due date, Ji Xinyao felt that she was about to give birth, and was hurriedly called by Xiuli to the hospital, and when she was lying on the bed, Ji Xinyao found out in a trance that the ring on her ring finger, the platinum ring with a simple and refined shape, was exquisite like a wordless irony.
She closed her eyes, and as the doctor pushed her into the delivery room, she pulled it off and held it tightly in her hands.
Giving birth to a child, she is alone, and she can do the same.
When the doctor was examining her body, his expression looked a little worried: "Miss Ji, your uterus has been violently vibrated before, I don't know if any doctor reminded you during your previous examination that you may have heavy bleeding during childbirth......"
Ji Xinyao smiled, maybe all the stories, even if they are over, need a complete curtain call.
She really wants to take another look at Nancy at this time, even if it's just a glance, even if she really dies on this operating table, she has no regrets, she doesn't regret the divorce, but at this moment, she really misses the smell of him too much, which allows her to muster all the courage and confidence, and makes her feel safe and unique to him.
"I know, please see if there is enough blood type A in the blood bank, no matter what, I will give birth to these two children safely." She laughs.
The doctors in several delivery rooms had to quickly contact the hospital's blood bank, Xin Yao closed her eyes, and a picture was frozen between the delivery room and the labor pain.
"How much has the palace opening?"
"2-3 cm!"
"Quick, listen to the fetal heart rate again, and do fetal heart rate monitoring!"
There was a chaotic sound in her ears, Xin Yao's painful cold sweat broke out, and her eyes were full of Venus shining, but she knew that she couldn't faint at this time, she had to stay awake and maintain her strength to give birth to the child, she held her strength and held the ring in her palm with both hands.
Ji Xinyao couldn't remember the process after that, but she heard the doctor say how big the uterine opening was, what contractions were weak, and she needed to adjust her mentality and couldn't be nervous, she did everything the doctor said, her eyes were always staring at it, I don't know how long it took, she
I could clearly feel the child sliding down from her body little by little, although it was very slow, although it was very painful, but the joy of being a mother covered her, she shouted tears in her eyes, and kept staring at it, as if she could see Gu Nancy's face from a certain angle, she tried to smile, maintain a good attitude, and repeatedly ......
It was completely impossible to estimate how long it had been, her body was already in pain and was almost unconscious, just a mechanical and instinctive effort to follow the doctor's words and obey, and then there seemed to be some faint movement in her ears, she couldn't hear clearly, all her thoughts were on the child, she slowly closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and endured the extraordinary pain.
At the moment when she heard the child's cry, the whole person instantly seemed to swell to the extreme with her heart, and she had no strength at all, when the consciousness in her brain gradually withdrew, although she tried to open her eyes and continue to work hard, she still heard the doctor say "the mother is weak and needs to be assisted in midwifery", she is still using her last strength......
It wasn't until the second child came out that she seemed to be empty, and there were tears in her eyes, but she couldn't open them, and she only heard the cry of ignoring joy in her ears: "Wow! Dragon and phoenix fetuse! Miss Ji, you're really lucky! ”
Xin Yao wanted to laugh, but she didn't have the strength, she desperately wanted to grab something, but she was still weak, until the fingers gradually loosened weakly, and the moment the ring fell from her hand, she frowned and tried to move her fingers, but suddenly, the cold hand was held, and the hand holding her hand was very warm, so warm that it made her feel a little familiar, she wanted to open her eyes, but the severe pain in her abdomen and the weakness of her body had made her sink into the dark, only a shallow consciousness, but she couldn't open her eyes.
"The placenta is retained! Fast! ”
Suddenly there was something in her ears, Ji Xinyao frowned uncomfortably, opened her mouth, wanted to speak, but she couldn't say it, let alone open her eyes, her fingers instinctively moved in the hand that held her, but that hand suddenly held her tighter.
"It's bleeding!"
Her ears were messy, but tears were falling from the corners of her closed eyes, and she felt it, the hand that held her......
Nancy......
It's Nancy Gu's temperature......
She still tried hard to open her eyes, but she felt that the doctors and nurses were moving her body, she was in pain, the pain was indescribable, was she really going to die? Postpartum haemorrhage is said to be the highest cause of maternal mortality......
She finally opened her mouth: "Child...... Kid ......"
"Xin Yao, hold on!"
Faintly, she heard a voice in her ear speaking, gentle, full of encouragement.
The hand held her tightly and whispered in her ear: "Hold on, you must hold on, you are a strong Ji Xinyao, you will definitely survive!" You can! ”
She frowned and moved her head, but she could no longer speak, until the darkness came in completely......
"Dr. Wang, the mother is in shock!"
"It's important to save people!"
……
The moment she finally opened her eyes, the bright light in the ward made her can't help but raise her hand to block it, and when she got used to the brightness in front of her, a voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"Xin Yao? Awake? ”
Xin Yao turned her head suddenly, seeing that it was Xiu Li, she was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively touched her stomach, and then looked at both sides of the bed even more nervously, but she didn't see the child, and she was about to sit up in a panic.
Seeing her movements, Xiu Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her: "Don't worry, the two babies are very healthy, but you almost died of postpartum hemorrhage, and finally saved your life, and it took three or four days to wake up, and the two children are in the nursery room of the hospital, and they will be picked up tomorrow." ”
As soon as she heard him say this, Ji Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought I was dead......
"Don't say this kind of thing, you knew that you would encounter this situation when you were born, but you still tried your best to give birth to the child, do you know what we were in a hurry at that time? I'm afraid you have what to expect! Xiuli turned around and poured her a glass of water: "Come, drink some water first, I'll call the doctor." ”
Xin Yao looked at him quietly, didn't speak, just sat up slowly by supporting her body, she was in a natural birth, if it weren't for the postpartum hemorrhage, I'm afraid she could walk around casually now, but her body didn't have much strength at this time, so she could only lean on the side of the bed.
She turned her head to look out of the window on a sunny day, and suddenly seemed to think of something, lowered her head, and looked at the ring finger of her right hand, her ring...... Where did it go? Did you get rid of yourself when you gave birth in the delivery room that day?
She lifted her hand and touched the ring mark on her ring finger.
When Xiuli and the doctor came in, she raised her eyes and looked at him: "Xiuli, when I was in the delivery room that day, did any special people go in?" ”
Although she had a vague impression at that time, she was very profound, and she remembered that the voice was Gu Nancy's voice......
Xiuli was a little surprised: "What person? I didn't see any special people other than doctors and nurses. ”
"Really?"
"What am I lying to you for?"
