Chapter 315 The Young Wife is Born
When the other brothers came back, while they were talking to the old man, Lin Shu pulled Gu Jiu aside and asked in a low voice, "What were you and Gu Zhiyuan talking about just now?"
Gu Jiu glanced at the brothers who were chatting on the sofa and coughed lightly: "Just chatting, what's wrong?"
Gu Zhiyuan preferred not to mention the fact that he envied himself for having a good in-law family in front of his wife, as he was afraid that she would become proud.
"Chatting?" Lin Shu obviously didn't believe it. "Just now I saw him looking at me from time to time, which made me feel uneasy. Did I offend him in some way?"
The main reason was that she didn't lend him money last time because she was afraid that Gu Zhiyuan would feel upset and would criticize her in front of Gu Jiu.
"No way? We have separated and don't live together. How can you go to provoke him? Don't think too much."
"Okay." Lin Shu believed him for the time being, then frowned and said, "This time I saw that his clothes were empty and his face looked haggard. Maybe he didn't take good care of himself because of the Jiang family. If he is short of money, why don't you support him a little and ask him not to be too hard on himself."
Otherwise, the old man and the old woman would be so distressed that they wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep well.
"Don't worry about him. Even if I give him some money, it will be in the hands of Jiang's mother and son in less than two days." Gu Jiu raised his hand and rubbed her head. He felt very warm that Lin Shu cared about his family.
Lin Shu's worries were right. When it was time for dinner in the evening, Wang Suzhen saw Gu Zhiyuan's condition and served him a bowl of red dates, ginseng and chicken soup and placed it in front of him, asking him to drink more and not to exhaust himself.
After returning home from the old house, Gu Jiu washed up and lay down on the bed, checking whether the two children's quilts had been kicked away.
After finding that the quilt was covered, he returned to bed. "It's almost the end of the year. I'm going to Guangdong Province in a few days to attend the factory summary meeting. Do you want to go?"
"Go ahead. I heard that Guangdong Province has warm winters. It's a good opportunity to take the kids there for a couple of days."
Since Gu Jiu mentioned this, Lin Shu just agreed.
Today during the day, Dabao was still telling her that he was going to Guangdong Province. According to Xiaofen's birthday in her previous life, she should have been born on the fifth day after the winter solstice.
In this life, Dabao wanted to welcome Xiaofen's birth and wanted to see what the newborn Xiaofen looked like when she was carried out of the delivery room.
"Want to take the kids with you?"
Gu Jiu invited his wife to go to Guangdong Province because he wanted to spend some time alone together. Now he has to take the children with him, which means he will be busier than at home.
At home, Liu Xiao'e and Lin Dashan help take care of at least two children.
Seeing him frowning and looking reluctant, Lin Shu found it funny: "Yes, take the children with you. If you are afraid of trouble, take my parents with you. They have never been to Guangdong Province. It's a good opportunity for them to go out for a walk and take care of the children with us."
"What? From your expression, it seems that you don't want the children to follow you. If Dabao and Erbao knew that you disliked them, I don't know how sad they would be."
"I'm not unwilling!"
Gu Jiu hurriedly denied it.
However, I stretched my neck and took a look at the children sleeping soundly in their cribs. I felt a little guilty. What was going on?
Dabao didn't know that his belly was rising and falling with his breathing, so his wish to see his wife for the first time when she came out of the delivery room might not come true.
Because at the same time, outside the delivery room of the Guangdong Provincial First People's Hospital, Su Aiguo was pacing back and forth with an anxious look on his face, glancing at the closed door of the delivery room from time to time.
Su Bangliang was dizzy by his figure. "Don't hang around in front of me. Although giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell, this is in a hospital, which is much safer than giving birth at home. Be quiet, don't make me feel agitated, sit down!"
Su Aiguo stroked his hair, put his hands on his waist, lowered his head and asked, "Dad, I am worried about my wife and children. Can I control it? Otherwise, you can go back first? Anyway, you can't help here."
When Su Bangliang heard that he was asked to go back first, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm waiting here for my grandson to be born. I want to hug him first. I'm not going back."
In order to ease his nervousness, Su Aiguo deliberately teased him: "You keep talking about grandsons, what if my wife gave birth to a daughter?"
"..."
Su Bangliang was dumbfounded when he heard this. He had never thought of this possibility. Could it be his granddaughter?
"Ah, bah bah bah!"
Su Bangliang spit on the ground several times and glared at her, "You are full of nonsense, be careful not to offend the fetus god. If I say it is a grandson, then it is a grandson! If it is really... a granddaughter, then I will find a grandson-in-law in the future, and the child will still have the surname Su!"
This happened more than 20 years later, and Su Aiguo felt that there was no need to argue with the old man now. The most important thing now was for his wife to give birth to the child safely.
Thinking of this, his gaze turned to the closed door of the delivery room.
Seeing this boy looking nervous, Su Biaoliang became worried as well.
"Boy, how long do you think it will take for this woman to give birth?"
Su Aiguo shook his head: "I don't know. This is my first time being a father and I have no experience. Besides, shouldn't you be the most experienced person here? Let me ask you, how long did it take for me to be born?"
Su Bangliang felt a little guilty. He was not at home when his wife gave birth. It was his mother, Su Aiguo's grandmother, who helped with the delivery. He had no idea how long it took from the onset of the disease to the birth.
"It's been decades since this happened, how come I still remember it? Why don't you go home and burn some incense and ask your grandmother about this?"
Su Aiguo wanted to roll his eyes speechlessly, but he still had to burn incense and ask grandma to bless the child and his mother to be safe and sound.
"You can't even remember such an important moment, Dad. What on earth can make you so obsessed? Could it be Ah-Shan, our neighbor next door?"
"...You deserve a beating, Ah Sang is your elder, you can't make fun of him!"
"Dad, are you angry because of what I said?"
"You little bastard, you have no respect for your elders and deserve a beating!"
The father and son started arguing with each other.
Not to mention, in this situation, bickering can really divert attention and relieve tension.
However, despite the bickering, as time passed and the door of the delivery room had not yet been opened, the father and son became worried again.
"Aiguo, why does it take so long to give birth to a child? Isn't giving birth to a child just like a hen laying an egg, with just a little push and it comes out in a slippery motion?"
"Dad, I told you before, this is my first time being a dad, I really have no experience."
"You said, your wife has been in prison for so long, she won't give birth to a lot of children for our Su family, right?"
Su Aiguo was speechless and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Dad, you have a very rich imagination. During the early examination, the doctor told us that it was a single baby."
"It's a pity that it's a single baby. It would be great if it were twins or triplets. I could have two or three babies a year. How exciting it would be." Su Bangliang started to laugh as he spoke.
"Liu Huimei's family members?"
"It's born. I'm Liu Huimei's relative. Doctor, how is my wife now?"
Su Aiguo pulled Su Bangliang to the door of the delivery room. While he was answering, his eyes were already glued to the swaddling clothes in the guard's arms.
"Mother and daughter are safe. The mother is still in labor and will come out later. This is your child, a girl."
"Girl?" Su Bangliang was stunned, his bad words came true.
"Yes, girl, now we advocate gender equality. It doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl. Your family members should not have the idea of favoring boys over girls."
The guard handed the child to Su Aiguo and did not forget to preach to him.
