Chapter 70: The Newborn's Birthday

As we enter September, it's been an eventful time.

On September 8, Tom's great-grandmother died in her sleep at the age of ninety-six.

There was no illness or disaster, and Smith's family happily had a "wedding funeral" and buried his great-grandmother.

On September 11th, the previous pregnancy had labor pains, which stopped after a few minutes, and it is normal to see a doctor for examination.

On September 14th, the first edition of "Old Ma Rui's Commentary" was published, and Tom chose to order it as soon as possible, and it was 800 miles expedited.

September 19, 1867,

Monday

Half past nine in the morning.

Tom slept peacefully in the single bed in his office.

Tom has a good habit of getting enough sleep for 12 hours a day, otherwise he will not be able to fully relieve the "heavy" fatigue caused by the "hard work" of the previous day.

In order to avoid being disturbed, Tom usually sleeps with the door locked.

"Bang!"

John knocked open the door to Tom's office.

The huge movement of breaking into the door woke Tom directly on the bed.

John didn't talk nonsense, just grabbed Tom and put it on his shoulder, and was about to leave with Tom.

"What's the matter, it's only half past nine now, I still want to sleep a little longer, I didn't go to bed until ten o'clock last night, and I haven't slept enough."

"Your baby is about to be born, and the doctor arranged by Aunt Penny has already started the delivery process when I leave."

"Hey, I will give birth to a child, I don't care what I do, I won't deliver a baby, I will only give birth to the first link of the child's initial movement - the man-making movement, and the rest will not be."

"Uncle Penny said that when your child is born, you must be by your woman's side."

"No, I want to sleep."

Tom, who was physically unable to fight John, could only be carried by John through the living room and into the waiting room.

In the living room, dozens of core members of the Smith family stood densely, waiting for Tom Smith's first child to come out.

Good to celebrate as soon as you show your loyalty to Tom.

Tom Smith's first child, the real head of the Smith family, even if it is an "illegitimate child", everyone has to come in person to express it.

Tom sat in the waiting room with his mother and sisters, bored waiting for the birth of the child.

Before the child could come out, a doctor in a white lab coat walked out first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the delivery of the mother is not going well."

"How is that possible? I prayed to God for several days, and the priest said that if he had gone with the flow, he would give birth to a strong son. ”

As soon as Penny heard that there was something wrong with her daughter-in-law's birth, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked the obstetrician that Tom had hired a month in advance.

"The mother is small, the pelvis is too narrow, the bone birth canal is too narrow, and the baby's head is too large. A C-section may be required. The doctor explained to an agitated Penny the problems she was experiencing.

"Don't do that kind of vandalism, the priest said, you must go with the flow, otherwise you may become a daughter." As a modern person, Tom doesn't care much about caesarean section or spontaneous delivery.

"Mom, whatever the doctor says, it's possible that what God said is naturally a caesarean section, in my Tom's eyes, there is only one sentence that the priest can fully believe, that is, the priest can heal the little boys in the world..."

"Huh?"

Tom, who interjected, was directly frightened by Penny's vicious look and shut up.

"It is because of your impiety that your child cannot be born smoothly."

"Quick, take it, this is the Bible from Rome."

"I have recently learned a lot of Latin with the priest, you can learn a few words with me, and pray to God in God's Word together to keep the mother and child safe."

After forcibly pressing Tom's prayer, Tom could only helplessly kneel on the ground and pray "sincerely".

No way, who made Penny their mother?

The world is big, and my mother is the biggest!

This is not only Tom's own filial piety to his mother because of the memory of the original owner Frederick, but more importantly, it is a statement.

If you are not filial to your parents and do not respect your elders, why should you ask your subordinates outside the door to respect you?

John Mueller tapped the doctor on the shoulder and asked the gynecologist to accompany him out of the delivery room.

The two walked to the door of the delivery room.

Within one door is the mother who is giving birth and several other obstetricians and midwives.

"Doctor, what's the situation, I haven't heard of caesarean section, is the success rate of caesarean section high?" John had heard of a caesarean section for the first time, and asked the doctor with some doubts.

"If it is an ordinary person, the probability of the safety of the mother and child by this means of production is less than one-fifth, but Mr. Smith has given us a lot of new disinfectants before, and the success rate of this kind of operation has been as high as more than 90% in the past year. It's just ......"

"Just what?"

"There is a high probability that pregnant women will not be able to have children in the future."

"It doesn't matter, don't worry about doing it boldly, Tom told me, professional things are handed over to professional people, all Texas, you are the most professional."

"Thank you for your trust."

"If the production goes well, Tom and I will apply and give you an additional twenty percent of the research fee every year."

"Thank you so much."

Pregnant women have also given birth by cesarean section and have a 90 percent success rate.

The probability of the collapse of the U.S. economy is calculated by dividing the excess issuance of the currency by the issuance under normal circumstances.

It's already hundreds of thousands.

The bubble of hypocrisy is being punctured today!

"Wow~"

Half an hour later, a newborn cry brought Smith Farm to life again.

Members of the Smith family take turns going into the waiting room to congratulate Penny and Tom.

Tom was not interested in this kind of newborn congratulatory etiquette, and asked a few midwives who came out of the delivery room.

After confirming that he could go in and not worry about affecting the mother's health, Tom walked into the delivery room.

In the delivery room, lying is the secretary who has just given birth.

"My sweet little secretary, what's wrong with you?"

"Tom, the doctor said I might never be able to have children again."

"And this kind of good thing? Then you need to recover as soon as possible! ”

“???”

Houston was filled with a few joys because of the birth of Tom's eldest son, Mender Smith.

According to Tom's Chinese soul, it should be celebrated in red.

At the same time, Wall Street in New York, USA, was also celebrating in red.

This "red" is not an ordinary "red".

Today is not only the day of Tom's eldest son, but also the day of the most horrific economic crisis in American history.
