Chapter 1 A son is enough
Back in 1990, it was a snowy day in the winter.
It was already late at night, very cold, the road was unusually deserted, the thick snow had completely flooded the road, and occasionally pedestrians and vehicles were hurrying back to their warm homes.
The people in an alley in Xinjiekou, Chengxi District, Beijing, suddenly opened the door at this time, and a man rushed out of it, with an anxious look, rushed onto the road at the entrance of the alley, trying to find a car on the road, but looking at the empty road, how could there be a shadow of a vehicle, this anxious stomping foot.
Presumably, something must have happened to this family, otherwise how could there be someone looking for a car on the road at this hour, it was already midnight, and in this kind of weather, the taxis had already gone home to rest.
The old man slipped on the road for nearly ten minutes, did not wait for a car, saw that there was almost no hope of waiting for a taxi, this old man immediately made a decision, rushed to the door of a house at the entrance of the alley, and began to smash the door of this house with great force, only to hear the sound of 'bang, bang', which seemed unusually loud in the middle of the night.
The lights in the house came on, and the owner came out of the bedroom and shouted out the door, "Who, in the middle of the night, still doesn't let people sleep, and the fire is on the house?" ”
The old man outside the door replied, "Brother Liu is embarrassed to disturb your rest, I am Chen Jun who lives in the alley, just now my daughter-in-law's stomach hurts badly, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth, I don't go to the street to find a car, but there is no car on the street, I remember that you don't have a three-wheeler at home, and you want to borrow your family's three-wheeled one to send my daughter-in-law to the hospital, do you think?"
As soon as the male owner in the door heard that it was this kind of burning eyebrow, he quickly opened the courtyard door and beckoned Chen Jun outside the door to enter the courtyard, "You're welcome to do this, who hasn't been in a hurry yet, or a neighbor, and help should be", as he spoke, he pushed the tricycle in the yard over, found a broom to clean up the snow on it, and handed the tricycle into Chen Jun's hands.
Chen Jun pushed three wheels and was about to go out to pick up his daughter-in-law, and the house-keeping Lao Liu behind him shouted, "Xiao Chen, is there enough people in the family?" If it's not enough, I'll go over and give it a hand."
When Chen Jun heard this, he looked at Lao Liu gratefully, "Brother Liu, thank you so much, I won't be polite to you at this time, the family is really not enough, just my mother, she is old, and she can't help much, you can come to help, it's really to save my brother from fire and water."
Lao Liu, "What's the time to be polite, don't you have a priority for everything, you go home first, I'll go back and put on clothes and go over right away", after speaking, Lao Liu entered his house in two steps to get dressed.
Chen Jun pushed the three wheels and ran quickly towards his home in the alley, not far away, and soon arrived.
Pushing open the door, he rushed into the yard, ran towards the bedroom, and when he entered the bedroom door, he saw his wife lying on the bed screaming in pain, stroking her high bulging belly with both hands, and Chen Jun's mother was standing next to her and was busy waiting.
Seeing Chen Jun coming in, both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked up at Chen Jun.
"Found the car?" Chen Jun's mother asked.
Chen Jun replied, "Where can I find a car at this time, there is not a single taxi on the street, there is no way, I will go to Brother Liu's house at the entrance of the alley to borrow his tricycle, and use the tricycle to send Wang Hui to the hospital, at present, it can only be like this."
When Chen Jun's mother heard this, she glanced at her son complainingly, and then said to him, "Then hurry up and get more futon or something, and put a good cushion on the car, don't you dare to bump it on the car."
After Chen Jun heard this, he hurriedly ran to the next room and took out all the bedding on the bed, spread it on the tricycle, covered every corner, felt the thickness, felt that it was not enough, and ran to his bedroom, took out the idle bedding, spread it, felt it with his hands, and was satisfied.
This is the neighbor Lao Liu has rushed to Chen Jun's door, and at the same time called another neighbor to help, Mr. Wang, a math teacher at a nearby middle school. Neighbors who live in an alley.
Seeing the two neighbors who came to help, Chen Jun glanced at the two gratefully and nodded, his eyes were a little red.
Lao Liu waved his hand and signaled Chen Jun to prepare to take the pregnant woman out of the house and get on the tricycle.
Chen Jun walked quickly into the house and told his mother that he was ready to take his daughter-in-law out.
The old lady quickly put on a thick winter coat for the pregnant woman, and carried Wang Hui to the tricycle at the door with Chen Jun, and then the old lady turned around and took a thick quilt from the house to cover her daughter-in-law.
Chen Jun and the two neighbors who were helping were about to push the three wheels and set off, and the old lady followed, planning to go to the hospital together.
As soon as Lao Liu saw this situation, he spoke, "Old lady, we are in a hurry, don't follow, you can't keep up, the snow is thick and slippery on the road on this snowy day, it's not safe for you to follow, turn around and fall again, you will go to the hospital slowly after dawn tomorrow morning."
Chen Jun felt that it made sense, so he stopped his mother and told her to go to the hospital after dawn.
The old lady also understood that she couldn't help much in the past, so she agreed, stood at the door and watched Chen Jun and them push the three wheels away quickly, turned around and went back to their yard, worrying at home about their daughter-in-law and unborn grandson.
Along the way, Chen Jun and the three of them were moving quickly, Lao Liu pedaled the three wheels, the speed was fast, Chen Jun sat on the three wheels and supported his daughter-in-law to prevent them from bumping on the three wheels, and Mr. Wang rode the car next to the three wheels, ready to replace the pedal with Lao Liu at any time.
The hospital is not very far from the alley where Chen Jun lives, just in an alley at Xinjiekou, which is Jishuitan Hospital, the affiliated hospital of Beijing Medical University, and a well-known tertiary hospital in the country.
At this time, the hospital was not so carefully divided, and the big hospitals could deliver children, so Chen Jun chose the nearest Jishuitan Hospital.
Twenty minutes, the three of them pedaled to the hospital, and quickly ran towards the emergency room through the hospital gate.
Chen Jun pushed open the door of the hall and said loudly to the doctor and nurse on duty in the hall, "Hello, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, please hurry up and take a look."
The medical staff in the hall quickly stepped forward, picked up the pregnant woman from the tricycle, sent her to the flat car used by the hospital to transport patients, carefully put Wang Hui on the bed on the flat car, let Wang Hui lie down, and quickly pushed into the operating room.
Chen Jun stood outside the operating room and looked anxiously at the operating room, he couldn't wait to rush in, Lao Liu and Teacher Wang next to him were already the fathers of the children, and they were all coming over, all of them were calming Chen Jun's emotions, telling him not to be too impatient and worried, and now he could only wait for the results outside.
Chen Jun told each other in a casual conversation with Lao Liu and Mr. Wang that his wife's due date was a week later, but today may be because the amount of activity after dinner is a little large, Wang Hui's stomach began to hurt when she slept at night, and the due date was advanced.
If I had known that I should have been admitted to the hospital as soon as possible, I would not have been in such a dangerous situation and in a hurry.
The nurse in the emergency room had already gone to the gynecology department to call the doctor on duty in the gynecology department, and the two quickly passed in front of Chen Jun and walked into the operating room with the lights on.
Chen Jun and the three of them have been waiting outside the operating room, about twenty minutes or so, Wang Hui's shouts began to come from inside, looking very painful, Chen Jun heard his daughter-in-law's shouts outside, very nervous, his fists clenched tightly, and never let go.
Lao Liu stepped forward to comfort Chen Jun and told him not to be too nervous, he should have started production now, so he would make such a sound.
Chen Jun listened to it outside, worrying about his wife and children inside.
Time passed little by little, and Wang Hui's shouts kept coming out, and Chen Jun walked back and forth at the door like an ant on a hot pot outside the door of the operating room.
Lao Liu and Teacher Wang both found a stool and sat down, looking at Chen Jun's actions there, they felt cordial and familiar, when their wives gave birth to children, they also behaved like this, they really felt the same way.
There was no bad news in the operating room, and Lao Liu and Teacher Wang knew that there was no danger and everything was going well, while Chen Jun walked around worriedly.
Suddenly, Wang Hui's shouting stopped, and after a second or two, a clear baby's cry "Wow......" came from the operating room.
Chen Jun was stunned, then jumped up happily, waved his hand vigorously, "I'm a father, I'm a father", and excitedly rushed forward to hug Lao Liu and Teacher Wang one by one, and his whole face was like a blooming flower.
Lao Liu and Teacher Wang were congratulating Chen Jun and patted Chen Jun's shoulder vigorously, and in the future, this shoulder will once again shoulder the responsibility of raising children, and the burden and responsibility will be a little heavier.
Chen Jun turned around and waited at the door of the operating room, and after a while, the operating room opened, and the doctors and nurses came out of it, removing the masks on their faces as they walked.
The doctor saw Chen Jun standing at the door, shook Chen Jun's outstretched hands, and said to him with a smile, "Congratulations, the mother and child are safe, he is a big fat boy of seven pounds and six taels, and the child is very healthy."
Chen Jun was already happy when he heard this, and he smirked.
Lao Liu and Teacher Wang behind them smiled happily when they heard that the adults and children were safe and healthy, looked at each other, turned around and walked outside the hospital, and went home.
Leaving Chen Jun happy and waiting there alone, now Chen Jun is the happiest man in the world, and he should be allowed to enjoy the joy of becoming a father for the first time.
Chen Jun turned around and saw that the two neighbors had left, and secretly kept the friendship of the two enthusiastic neighbors in his heart and kept it for later repayment.
The door of the operating room opened, and the nurse pushed Chen Jun's wife Wang Hui out of it.
Wang Hui looked at her husband in front of her, and tears were also left in her eyes, tears of happiness.
Chen Jun held his wife's hand and said to him, "Thank you for your hard work, wife, I love you"
Wang Hui was lying on the bed looking at her husband, her face was a little red, "Why did he say this here, there is a nurse next to him", a little shy.
The nurse told the couple that the child had just been born and that they would not be able to see the child immediately, but they would be able to see it soon, and the child was very healthy.
Chen Jun leaned down and kissed his wife, and pushed his wife to the delivery room of the gynecology department with the nurse, talking excitedly about his baby along the way.
As soon as he was placed in the delivery room, the nurse came over with the child in her arms and handed the child to Wang Hui, and Chen Jun poked his head and looked at his child with Wang Hui. I feel that I am the happiest person in the world at the moment, "You have a son and everything is enough."
