Chapter 398 Becoming a father

"elder brother……"

"Close the door first." Zhou Sen glanced at the study door and ordered.

Jiang Rou nodded, walked over quickly, closed the study door, came back and sat down, said in a low voice, "Brother, the organization sent someone to join me."

"This is a good thing. Who is the person who came to the meeting again, and what did they tell you?" Zhou Sen asked, "No, this is an organizational secret, I shouldn't ask."

"Brother, you are not an outsider. Besides, I am alone now, and according to the tasks sent by the organization, I am also under your leadership." Jiang Rou said.

Jiang Rou's original task was to be sent by the organization to Zhou Senlai as a traffic liaison officer. Although Zhou Sen was not a member of the Communist Party of China, he belonged to the intelligence department of the Communist International. Of course, she didn't know that Zhou Sen was not even a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Zhou Sen, a manchukuo agent who has the exact identity of the intelligence department of the Japanese Kwantung Army, is doing intelligence work for the CCP, the Soviet Communist Party, and even the military command, and he has no identity in any of the three parties.

He didn't want to join the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Army, and the CCP was unable to join for a while, which caused his current strange phenomenon.

"Brother, guess who the connector is?"

"Then how could I guess, could it be someone we know?" Zhou Sen was a little surprised when he heard this tone.

"That's right, it's someone we know, someone you didn't expect." Jiang Ju said.

"An unexpected person?" Zhou Sen said to himself, familiar people around him, but also unexpected ones, he quickly went through the people he knew and familiar people in his mind, and suddenly jumped into it by himself. in his mind.

This guy fits the bill, could it be him?
"I can't guess, just tell me, who is it?" Zhou Sen said.

"It's Sister Lan's brother, Mr. Ai Qing." Jiang Ju said.

Zhou Sen nodded. At this point in time, Ai Qing was the only person they were familiar with who had just come to Bingcheng.

He just didn't expect Ai Qing to be a member of the CCP, but it's normal, the Thirteen Flying Eagles are an anti-Japanese armed force, and the Anti-Japanese Federation will naturally infiltrate to control and guide this anti-Japanese armed force. What's so strange about Ai Qing being a member of the Chinese Communist Party? ?
"You didn't mention my identity, did you?" Zhou Sen asked.

"No, I just got in touch with the organization, and I didn't say anything else." Jiang Rou said, "The organization sent him to collect information and supplies this time, and he will be stationed in Ice City in the future."

"Where is your organizational relationship now?"

"We are led by the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Army, and we have a parallel relationship with the Bingcheng Special Committee." Jiang Rou explained.

"Okay, I'll give you the information, and you can pass it on to him, but don't reveal my identity, it's also for the safety of me and him," Zhou Sen said.

"I see. Right now, their Third Route Army is in urgent need of a batch of medicines. They had a lot of wounded in the anti-crusade war a while ago. Many wounded had no medicine to treat, and many people died," Jiang Rou said.

"It is not easy to completely solve the problem of medicines. The Japanese have a strong blockade on medicines, especially anti-inflammatory medicines for gunshot wounds. Buying and selling are all graded. Medicines often flow into the black market, but there are still certain purchases. It's risky, even if you buy it, how to transport it out is a problem, it's still the old way, I provide them with the information of the medicine and let them pick it up by themselves, that's the safest way." Zhou Sen thought for a while and said.

"Well, but will this make you suspicious?"

"I have a news channel, and it's very secret, so I won't be discovered. Don't worry, I won't disregard my own safety. I can tell which is more important." Zhou Sen nodded.

"Then I'll tell him the next time I meet again."

"Well, try to meet as little as possible, and find a legitimate reason for meeting. You are also a public figure. Even if there are no spies watching, the public will pay attention. Don't be careless." Zhou Sen reminded.

"I see, brother."

"Qin Lang, I'll keep an eye on it. Don't worry, he won't let him go the same way again." Seeing Jiang Rou's hesitant to speak, Zhou Sen naturally understood her worries.

"Thank you bro."

"However, you still have to keep a certain distance from him. Don't give him too good looks. He is a dog. You have to kick him twice to give him a bone. Otherwise, he won't be obedient." Zhou Sen taught.

"I see, brother." Jiang Rou smiled knowingly, got up and left.

……

"Xiao Rou is worried about Qin Lang?" In the bathroom, Bai Yulan sat on a chair, enjoying Zhou Sen's gentle service.

With a big belly, I can only rely on others to take a bath.

"Well, Qin Lang's temperament is still unstable, so he has to keep an eye on him, so as not to let Yi go astray." Zhou Sen said.

"It seems that Xiaorou is sincere to Qin Lang?" Bai Yulan laughed.

"It's still too early for the two of them to cultivate to a positive result." Zhou Sen said, "Xiaorou is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, it's not so easy to agree."

"That's true, but, do you have too much prejudice against Qin Lang? I think he's a nice guy, much better than most men. At least he doesn't gamble or whore, and he's not very aggressive now. It's just The prodigal son will not change his money when he turns around." Bai Yulan said.

"We are in serious business, isn't it normal to be strict with dishonest people?" Zhou Sen asked back.

"Okay, you help me up..." Bai Yulan stretched out his hand, Zhou Sen lowered his head, gave her his shoulder, and then stretched out his hand to hold her under her armpit.

This pregnant woman's body is heavy, Zhou Sen could easily pick up the former Bai Yulan, but now, it is a bit difficult.

And she was pregnant with twins, which were heavier than the average pregnant woman.

"I don't know when these two boys will come out. My waist is almost too much to bear." Bai Yulan complained.

"Come on, come on, don't worry, isn't it still in the due date, maybe it will come out tomorrow."

Zhou Sen helped her change into clean pajamas, then helped her walk from the bathroom back to the bedroom, let her sit down, leaned against the head of the bed, and lay down.

"Pour me a glass of warm water." Bai Yulan ordered.

"Okay, here we go." Zhou Sen nodded. He was sweating all over just now, and he had to take a shower to cool off, but now the sky is big and the world is big, and his wife and children are the biggest.

Zhou Sen got Bai Yulan a glass of water and went to take a shower by himself.

Only three to five minutes later, as soon as he put on his clothes and came out, he saw Bai Yulan lying on the bed caressing her belly, with a painful expression on her face and beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

Zhou Sen was taken aback when he saw it, and hurried forward and asked, "But it's about to give birth?"

Bai Yulan said with difficulty: "I don't know, it's just a burst of pain, like a knife..."

"Wait a minute, I'll call Aunt Chun and Ah Xiang over here." Zhou Sen panicked when he heard that. Could it be that he's about to give birth?

Zhou Sen hurriedly went out and called Aunt Chun and A Xiang over. Ni Juan, who had production experience, also came over after listening to the news, and Jiang Rou, all the women in the yard came.

Zhou Sen hurriedly asked Wu En to get up to invite the midwife, while he went to invite Bai Yulan's aunt, who had given birth to several children and was more experienced.

Then the whole Ningxiang Hall moved.

The midwife has already agreed that no matter what time, as long as she is invited, she will come and live not far away.

Not necessary if you live too far away.

Soon Bai Yulan's aunt Bai Mo'er and uncle Cai Qingjiang also came over. Although Cai Qingjiang was not a midwife, she was a doctor at least.

As soon as the midwife came, she checked and found that she was about to give birth.

The pain came again and again.

Fortunately, Bai Yulan's physical fitness is good, this ordinary woman, I am afraid that after a few times of tossing, she will have no strength.

When a woman gives birth to a child, the elders are definitely not allowed to stay in the house, and unmarried women are also driven out.

Only the midwife, Bai Mo'er and Aunt Chun were left inside.

Although Ni Juan was married, after her child had a miscarriage, the husband she married who smoked opium was no longer able to have children.

She can only stay outside to prepare for the little life.

When a woman gives birth to a child, it is like walking through the gate of hell. If she says she is not nervous, it is a lie. Zhou Sen is a human being, and it is also the first time to be a father. He is also nervously pacing back and forth in the yard, Also kept rubbing hands.

Every heart-piercing scream inside made him extremely worried, and he didn't know how long this process would last.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Sen got up, sat down, got up again, sat down again, his back was wet, then dry...

"what!"

A sound of pain pierced the silent night sky, Zhou Sen trembled with fright, his face turned pale.

Then I heard a crisp baby crying from the room.

Zhou Sen hurried to the door and asked, "Auntie, how is Yulan?"

"Xiao Mori, don't worry, there is one more who hasn't come out yet, don't worry, Yu Lan is fine." Bai Mo'er's voice came from inside.

"I know, aunt, you must take good care of Yulan, she and the child will be fine." Zhou Sen said.

"Don't worry, the first one comes out, the second one will be much easier."

"Sir, she is a rich lady." Aunt Chun came out with a swaddling baby in her arms and handed it to Zhou Sen.

"Well, okay, you help take care of the child first, and I'll stay here first." Zhou Sen glanced at the infant child, wrinkled, with closed eyes, and the shadow of Yulan could be seen between the brows, She should grow up to be a beauty embryo.

Aunt Chun agreed and took the child to the next room.

After more than ten minutes, I heard my aunt Bai Moer's surprised voice inside: "Yulan, use a little more strength, and it will come out, it is a man with a handle!"

Then, there was another cry of "Wow", loud and loud, three points higher than the one just now.

After all, boys cry much louder than girls.

Zhou Sen, who was outside the house, breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly relaxed, and sat down on the steps, as if he had collapsed.

God bless, all the best.

Inside the room, Bai Yulan, who had almost used up the last bit of strength in her body, slowly opened her eyes: "Auntie, where is the child?"

"Here it is." Bai Mo'er said as she carried her newborn son to Bai Yulan.

"There is one more, where is my daughter?"

"Oh, I took it out to take a bath, and I'm going to take this one to take a bath later." Bai Mo'er explained.

Newborns are covered in blood, so they have to be washed in boiled water, otherwise they will be dirty and the baby will feel uncomfortable.

"Where is Komori?"

"Guye has been guarding outside. If the delivery room hadn't become popular and men were not allowed to enter, he would have come in a long time ago." Bai Mo'er said.

Bai Yulan nodded.

Bai Mo'er carried the baby out to take a bath, and the midwife was left to deal with the rest, and it took about ten minutes.

The midwife just cleaned up and opened the door to come out. Zhou Sen didn't care about it, so he just opened the door and walked in.

Women who have just given birth must not be able to take a bath. They can only wipe their bodies with hot towels and put on clean clothes.

It's just that there is nothing to do with the hair, as if it has just been washed.

"Yulan, how are you?" Zhou Sen came to the bed, leaned down, and asked with concern.

"Thank you Komori."

"Thank you for what I did, I should thank you." Zhou Sen said hastily, "I asked Ah Xiang to stew an old hen for you. After a while, you can drink more or less."

"Go to sleep for a while. You have to go to work tomorrow. I have my aunt and aunt Chun to take care of them. It's fine."

"It doesn't matter, it won't be long anyway, you should take a rest first, I will stay here with you." Zhou Sen grabbed Bai Yulan's hand and said.

While talking, Aunt Bai Mo'er and the midwife each carried a baby and walked in.

"Yulan, the two little ones are both very healthy. The difference between births is less than 10 minutes. However, this girl is the first, so it must be the elder sister." Bai Mo'er said with a smile.

Bai Yulan raised her eyes to look at Zhou Sen, and found that Zhou Sen's face didn't change much, and said, "Xiao Sen, what are you going to name the two children?"

"My daughter should be called Nannan, and my son should be called something." Zhou Sen said.

"This is the baby name, what about the big name, you two will still prepare it?" Bai Moer asked in surprise after hearing this.

"Okay, ready, we discussed it, the daughter will be called Zhou Lan with my surname, and the son will be named Bai Sen with Yu Lan."

Bai Mo'er couldn't help but looked at Bai Yulan in surprise, this son was passed down from the family line, Zhou Sen actually gave his son the surname of Bai Yulan, this was really unexpected.

"Xiao Mori, didn't we agree that the first child born will be my surname, and the second one will be yours?" Bai Yulan was also surprised.

"I'm an orphan, with no relatives and no reason, and I'm not the heir of a big family. There's no need to be obsessed with the inheritance of the surname. Besides, this is not our first child, and we can have another child in the future!" Zhou Sen said, "The Bai family has arrived. Yulan’s generation is already dead, if it can continue the incense, wouldn’t it be great.”

alive?

When Bai Yulan heard this, her face immediately turned pale. She really didn't want to experience this kind of crime of walking through the gate of hell once again.

"That Xiaosen, you go out first, I'll talk to Yulan a little bit more sensibly." Bai Mo'er observed Zhou Sen's words and quickly sent Zhou Sen away.

"Okay, aunt, Yulan, if you have something to call me, I'll be outside." Zhou Sen said as he walked out.

"understood."

When he came to the outside yard and looked at the bright sky, Zhou Sen took a deep breath. Becoming a father will bring more responsibilities on his shoulders in the future, so he has to work hard.
