Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 456 It’s ripe for success
Another week later, under the strong advice of Gu Weijun, as well as the persuasion of her mother-in-law and her sister Zhu Jue, Zhu Lin finally went to Union Hospital to wait for delivery.

After all, the child Zhu Lin is carrying is the first child of the Gu and Zhu families (on the surface). The parents of both parties cannot be said to be particularly nervous, but they all want to hang around Zhu Lin.
Every day, Gu’s mother and mother-in-law cook delicious food in different ways, and now they are preparing for Zhu Lin’s lactation in advance. Today you will bring pig’s trotters and soybeans, and I will bring crucian carp tofu; tomorrow you will bring black fish stew, and I will bring mother’s mother. chicken soup.

In short, it’s just a rotation.

They are all bland and no salt is added.
Okay, Zhu Lin couldn't eat just the food brought by her mother. The doctor also repeatedly suggested that it is not time to supplement, but to supplement after delivery and after the mother has lactated.

But there was really no place for the care of the two old mothers. In the end, all the soup went into Gu Weijun's stomach.

Gu Weijun is so uncomfortable
"Mom, really don't give it away." Gu Weijun was holding the casserole with a look of pain on his face, "Hiccup", his hiccups now smelled like chicken shit.
"Xiao Lin and I really can't eat any more."

Gu's mother looked like you didn't know what was good or bad, "Is this prepared for you?"

"This is to enhance Xiaolin's nutrition when she gives birth! Otherwise, she won't have the strength to give birth!"

"You don't understand, get out of here"

When Gu's mother looked at Zhu Lin lying on the bed, she immediately saw another face that was asking for help. The change of expression made Gu Weijun stunned, "Xiao Lin, come here, Mom will help you walk around."

"The closer this is before giving birth, the more walking you need to do. Only then will the birth be smooth."

The mother-in-law also followed, "Xiao Lin, your mother-in-law is right."

"Come, let's help you go for a walk together."

Zhu Lin got up from the bed with difficulty, "Oh!"

"What happened?"

The two mothers started to get nervous together, one on each side of the bed holding Zhu Lin's arms.

Zhu Lin looked around at the two mothers and said, "Mom, it's okay. It's just that my stomach hurts for a while now!"

"Oops! Dajun, hurry up and find a doctor!" Gu's mother immediately began to direct Gu Weijun.

Gu Weijun didn't move a step and explained patiently, "Mom, the doctor said when he came for the ward check in the morning that this is a normal phenomenon before giving birth, Xiaolin can only endure it."

"The doctor also listened to the fetal sounds and checked the fetal position. Everything is very normal."

"Just let us wait patiently."

"You know nothing!" Gu's mother suddenly yelled at Gu Weijun: "I have given birth to two children, do I still know that this is normal?"

"I want you to ask a doctor to come over and see if there is any way to make Xiaolin less painful!"

"Isn't medicine making progress now?"

"Why does it hurt so much for a woman to give birth?"

It's so hard to be a man. Gu Weijun took the opportunity to put the casserole next to the bed, sat down on the bed, grabbed Zhu Lin's hand, and said with concern, "Xiao Lin, you are suffering."

Then he turned his head and looked at the two mothers, "Mom, there are some painless births abroad, but there is really nothing you can do about the labor pain before delivery."

"From the theory of Western medicine, this is the regular contraction movement of the woman's uterus in preparation for the birth of the fetus. The scientific name is uterine contractions."

"If you want to avoid it, there is only one way, and that is a caesarean section!"

Gu Weijun raised his left hand and made a scratch on his belly, "It means to cut open the belly and then take out the fetus. This way you can avoid the pain during contractions."

"But..." Gu Weijun smiled bitterly again, "If a woman can have a natural birth, it is best not to have this kind of caesarean section." "Any surgery has risks, and the process of women's birth itself is a natural process. It is better not to go against nature. Rules are good.”

"In addition, post-operative surgery is actually not conducive to women's own recovery. After all, an incision is required on the abdomen."

Gu Weijun held Zhu Lin's hand tightly with his backhand and said with some trepidation: "Xiao Lin, if you are really in unbearable pain, then I will ask the doctor whether to perform a caesarean section on you?"

"No!" Zhu Lin looked strong and stroked her belly gently, "Although it hurts for a while, I can feel that the child is saying hello to me!"

"Besides, don't all women have to go through this?"

"The doctor also said that the fetus is very healthy now. I am a dancer and my physical fitness is good. If I give birth naturally, it will be fast."

"Mom, Weijun, don't worry."

Zhu Lin followed the two mothers to go for a walk in the small garden downstairs. Gu Weijun stood in the ward and watched from the window. That is to say, the country's medical conditions are much better now. Gu Weijun was chatting with his mother before.

Gu Ma also lamented that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, pregnant women had to go through hell when giving birth. When they gave birth, matchmakers came to the door. Where could they go to the hospital?
Just a basin of hot water and a pair of scissors. How many pregnant women were unable to give birth and ended up suffocating to death, one dead and two dead.

Even if the baby is born and the pregnant woman bleeds heavily, is it impossible to save her? During the confinement period, you contracted mattress fever and died? There are even more children who cannot feed themselves.
This is why before the founding of the People's Republic of China, every family gave birth to more than a dozen children. It was good if 2 or 3 survived in the end. Some families may only survive one.
Now the country has specialized hospitals and obstetrics departments, and continues to provide health education. Children are also given timely vaccination after birth.

Therefore, many families now have as few as 5 or 6 children and as many as 10 or more children.

Thanks to the party and the government, the children can be fed easily. Although the food may not be particularly good, people can no longer go hungry.
Zhu Jue took advantage of a break from work and came to the ward. He stood quietly next to Gu Weijun and looked at Zhu Lin with envy, who was walking in the small garden with a big belly. "I just asked the doctor and he said that Xiaolin has started Open your fingers."

"If it goes slowly, it will take 1 or 2 days. If it goes quickly, I might be able to enter the delivery room this afternoon."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Xiaolin."

Zhu Jue moved closer to Gu Weijun, lowered his voice, and finally plucked up the courage, "Weijun, I know I have little hope now."

He kept biting his lower lip, "But I'm so envious of Xiaolin."

"I also want to be a mother."

"Wei Jun. Can you help me realize this wish?"

Gu Weijun turned his head and looked over. Zhu Jue's eyes were full of expectation. Gu Weijun stretched out his arms and hugged Zhu Jue's shoulders, exerting a slight force, "Xiao Jue, I've been waiting for you to make up your mind."

"Xiao Lin also knows it. Xiao Lin has been privately advising me before that I should be more proactive with you."

"But, I think, we are already a family, so it's good to keep it like this. We must wait until Xiaojue has completely figured it out, and our relationship will get closer."

"I know I'm greedy, but how can any man not be greedy?"

Gu Weijun gently kissed Zhu Jue's forehead, "As long as we don't hinder anyone, as long as we live happily, that's enough."

"In this life, a hundred years will pass by in a blink of an eye. It is best to leave no regrets as much as possible."

"Don't wait until we are all gray-haired, and then look back and think, what would have happened if I had been braver? There are no ifs in life."

"Xiaojue, I love you."

"Well, Wei Jun, me too."
