Chapter 366 The Birth of Shazhu's Child
"Oh, this is a big deal, Wang Luo, hurry up and leave everything here to us!"

Dean Ding and the others spoke up immediately after hearing this.

"Then I'll be leaving first. You guys can chat in broad daylight. Throw your bike onto my car and I'll pull you along and we'll go!"

Without saying a word, he pulled Liu Guangtian out of the school gate, threw the bicycle casually onto the jeep, stepped on the accelerator, and drove out, heading straight for the Temple of Heaven Hospital.

"Brother-in-law, is the baby born?"

When they arrived at the hospital, they saw Sha Zhu walking back and forth with an anxious look on his face. A group of people who had helped bring Liu Yue there were surrounding the courtyard and comforting him. Not only Sha Zhu was anxious, but He Daqing, who was about to become a grandfather, and He Yushui, who was about to become an aunt, were also anxious.

"Wang Luo is here, but not yet. Suddenly, I had a stomachache and my water broke. I was rushed here. I was so anxious, ah."

"Zhu Zi, why are you in such a hurry? Do you think giving birth is so easy? It takes time, it won't happen so quickly. Just wait patiently. Don't worry, Yue Yue has a big butt and she's trained in martial arts, so you can tell she'll be able to give birth easily. Don't worry."

Qin Huairu from the old Jia family was at home looking after her children and did not come, so Jia Zhang, as a representative, followed the crowd and ran over to comfort them.

"Both, Aunt Jia, I'm just so excited that I can't sit still."

Sha Zhu shook his head helplessly.

"It's okay, brother-in-law, be patient and don't worry."

Everyone was waiting for the cry from the delivery room, but after waiting for an hour, there was still no cry. All they heard was Liu Yue's screaming inside.

"Nurse, why hasn't the baby been born yet?"

Sha Zhu grabbed a nurse who came out and asked.

"Comrade, don't get excited. Don't worry. The mother is in good health. Giving birth is not a quick process. I've even seen women giving birth for a day. Just be patient."

Finished talking and left.

"Why hasn't it been born yet? Why hasn't it been born yet?"

Sha Zhu looked very funny at the moment as he was muttering to himself and walking back and forth. Wang Luo could do nothing but comfort him.

After waiting for about half an hour, the sound of a baby crying was heard in the delivery room.

"Wow, wow."

"It's born, it's born, but this is one, there's another one, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

Not long after, there was another cry.

"Congratulations, congratulations, it's twins, a boy and a girl, both mother and child are safe."

When the nurse finally opened the delivery room and came out holding two little babies, Sha Zhu rushed over.

"I'll see, I'll see."

Sha Zhu was about to take the swaddling clothes with trembling hands.

"Get out of the way, you clumsy guy. I'll go first!"

He Daqing, the grandfather, slapped Sha Zhu in the face, quickly took a swaddling cloth with one hand, and began to look at the two well-behaved little ones with his head down. He smiled foolishly as he looked at them. He finally became a grandfather, and a grandfather of two children at that. How could he not be excited!

"Dad, I am the child's father after all!"

Sha Zhu looked at He Daqing helplessly as he monopolized the two children, and raised his head helplessly.

"I'm still your father, the child's grandfather, but you don't respect your elders at all. Oh, so pretty, so well-behaved, just like my daughter-in-law, she's beautiful. Fortunately, fortunately!"

"Dad, please speak softly, don't scare the child!"

He Yushui reminded from the side.

"Yes, yes, you can't scare my grandson and granddaughter. It's all your fault, you fool. Humph!"

He was so angry that he glared at Sha Zhu again.

"Can you blame me?"

Shazhu was dumbfounded. Well, his family status would be downgraded again.

"This one is the older brother, and this one is the younger sister."

"Dad, let me hold one and take a look at my little niece. Otherwise, you will be so tired, haha."

He Yushui spoke softly and then took the other swaddling clothes.

Only then did everyone gather around.

"This child is so beautiful and fair-skinned. He follows Yueyue, not Zhuzi."

"Yeah, luckily it was with Yueyue. If it was with Zhuzi, it would be too ugly, haha."

Everyone kept teasing Sha Zhu, and Sha Zhu was also happy and didn't refute. Finally, after He Daqing and He Yushui had been together for a while, he walked up to Liu Yue with the child in his arms and said, "Thank you for your hard work, wife. Come and see our son and our daughter. They are so pretty, haha."

At this moment, Shazhu was like a fool, just having fun.

Wang Luo watched all this and blessed silently. It was great that the plot had changed. Sha Zhu had offspring and the fruit of his love. Everyone in the courtyard was also moving in a good direction. It seemed that everything was going well.

"Wang Luo, come and take a look at your two nephews, okay? I'll give you a hug, but be gentle."

Sha Zhu walked over holding one of the children as if showing off and said to Wang Luo.

"You don't even need to tell me. It's not good to follow my sister."

Wang Luo gently took the swaddling clothes and looked at the little person with closed eyes. Although it was not Wang Luo's own child, he was really envious of this little person. Damn, he had lived two lives but was still a single dog. He really wanted to have a cute baby to play with. Sha Zhu was so lucky. At this moment, he was jealous.

"Brother Wang Luo, come and take a look at this one. Is it cute?"

He Yushui brought another swaddling cloth to him. The arrival of the child added to the joy, and in the evening after work, the hospital ward became more lively. Even the deaf old lady, who had not received attention for a long time, was pulled over by Yi Zhonghai on a cart.

A group of women were chatting and laughing around Liu Yue and her two children, while a group of men were thinking about what to name the children.

"Zhu Zi, you are too lazy. From the time Yue Yue got pregnant to the time the baby was born, you only gave her a nickname. This nickname is not nice at all. A boy named Goudan and a girl named Maodan are fine, but why did you give a girl this name? It's a bit perfunctory."

After hearing the nickname given by Sha Zhu, Li Jun shook his head repeatedly.

Everyone was speechless.

"Isn't it easier to raise a humble name? As for the real name, I really haven't decided what it is. Dad, how should we rank according to the seniority of the He family?"

Sha Zhu had no choice but to look at He Daqing.

"According to the He family's generational structure, the next generation should be Chun. But now is a new society, so don't worry about it. It's hard for me to come up with a name, so let Yueyue do it. But the first boy should not be named He, but Liu. We agreed on it before the marriage. Although our He family has been cooks for several generations and not very educated, what was promised is what was promised, and it cannot be changed. People should live with integrity!"

He Daqing said in a decisive tone.

He was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law Liu Yue. She was very open and generous, never shy. One was one and two was two. When he was in Baoding, she took good care of the family. She was not only good to her own silly son, but also to her sister-in-law He Yushui. She was filial to him after he came back and arranged all the relationships in an orderly manner. She married into the family and not only did she not ask for a dowry, but she also gave a lot of things as a dowry. It was simply impossible to find a good daughter-in-law even with a lantern. It was a blessing for the He family to have her.

There was only one condition when they got married, that one of the children must have the surname Liu, to carry on Liu Yue's family line. Today, before Liu Yue even brought it up, He Daqing took the initiative to bring up this topic, which was really good. At least Wang Luo was very satisfied.

It is never as good as others taking the initiative to propose something yourself. This is a matter of attitude.

"Dad, why don't we just forget about the first child? It won't be too late to have another child with the last name Liu. After all, he is the eldest son and grandson!"

Liu Yue was very touched that his father-in-law took the initiative to bring up this matter, but he felt that it was not good for his eldest son to have the surname Liu since birth, so he spoke out.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? What was agreed upon is agreed upon. I'm the one who makes the decision. No matter what his last name is, he is your and Zhuzi's child, and he is my grandson. Don't worry about these things. Just give him a name!"

He Daqing said to Liu Yue with a smile.

"Then, how about the eldest brother be named Liu Chunxu and the second brother be named He Chunnuo?"

Liu Yue thought about it and brought up the name she had thought of when she first became pregnant.

"I think this name is good. The rising sun symbolizes our new Dragon Kingdom, and a promise is worth a thousand gold, which means that the He family values ​​their promises. Yueyue is a good name! Master Li, what do you think?"

Yan Bugui spoke carefully and asked Li Jun.

"I think it's a good name, let's call it that!"

Li Jun also nodded with satisfaction and looked at the grandfather and father of the two children, He Daqing and He Yuzhu.

"I have no objection to Zhuzi. The name Yueyue came up with has a good meaning, so let's call it this. Haha, the rising sun in the east, a promise is worth a thousand gold."

He Daqing was very satisfied with the names of the two children and agreed immediately with a smile.

"Okay, let's call him that. The nickname is Maodan. What do you think of Goudan?"

Sha Zhu still hasn't forgotten the two nicknames he gave them.

"What kind of names are these? They sound really bad. I think just calling them Xuxu and Nuonuo will be fine."

"See? My sister doesn't agree. You should take a rest. It's a waste of your time."

Wang Luo was finally convinced by Sha Zhu.

"Haha, then I'll listen to Yueyue in everything. I'll call you whatever Yueyue says."

Shazhu touched the back of his head like a fool and said.

After a while, the uncles, aunts, and other relatives from the military compound also came over. This was a big deal, especially those brothers who were very close to Yueyue's father. They were sincerely happy to see that he finally had a successor, so a visit was essential.

. . . . . .

Three days later, Wang Luo drove the family back to the courtyard, attracting waves of people to watch the excitement. Twins, a boy and a girl, were not common these days. Everyone came to see the novelty. Wang Luo helped Sha Zhu serve tea and cigarettes to entertain them. In his spare time, he asked Sha Zhu, "Brother-in-law, my sister gave birth. How many days of leave did you take?"

"Half a month, how come there is no paternity leave in our country? My wife has to take leave to give birth, what a shame."

"Come on, it's not that good of a thing. It's good enough that you can take a leave. I know your factory has been very busy recently."

There is no such thing as paternity leave these days. The law on paternity leave was not implemented until 2001 at the earliest. However, maternity leave is still good for women. my country's "Regulations on Labor Protection of Female Employees" has made further provisions for this: female employees are entitled to 98 days of maternity leave, including 15 days of prenatal leave. If the delivery is difficult, the maternity leave is increased by 15 days. For multiple births, the maternity leave is increased by 1 days for each additional baby. Female employees who have a miscarriage before 15 months of pregnancy are entitled to 4 days of maternity leave. If the miscarriage occurs after 15 months of pregnancy, they are entitled to 4 days of maternity leave.

And this is not the most important thing. The most important welfare is the nursery system. Different from the private and public kindergartens of later generations, nurseries at that time were social welfare in nature and were often set up in enterprises. Almost all of them were run by factories and units themselves.

In other words, dual-income families do not have to trouble the elderly, nor do they have to quit their jobs to stay at home to take care of the children. They can just send their children to daycare without any worries.

Take a factory as an example. After giving birth and taking maternity leave, the baby can go to the factory-run nursery with the mother after 2 months.

When going to work in the morning, parents hurriedly send their children to the nursery, where the caregivers take care of them collectively, feeding, coaxing them to sleep, sunbathing, and exercising... Parents don't have to worry about anything at all, and the teachers work in three shifts so that parents can come to the nursery to pick up their children after get off work at any time.

When the child is older, parents can transfer him or her directly to the kindergarten where the unit is located. The conditions may not be as good as those of today's professional kindergartens, but at that time, the environment was still pretty good.

Compared with kindergartens in later generations, many mothers would probably sigh and feel that the nurseries of that era seemed more like "kindergartens in their dreams": parents were relieved and children were happy, and most importantly, there was no need to fight for places in public kindergartens or worry about the high fees of private kindergartens, so children had basically no pressure to go to school.

Why are daycare centers free?
In fact, this has a lot to do with the social reality at that time. In the 60s and 70s, many women went to factories and units to become productive forces after giving birth. In order to share the burden of raising employees' children, nurseries were set up.

All the funds for these nurseries come from the revenue of factories and units and are social welfare in nature, so almost all nurseries are free. Even if some other fees are required, the amount will be very small.

Moreover, the nursery's daily "entertainment and learning" activities are very rich. It's not that the children are just allowed to roam freely and just watched as nothing happens. When they are younger, they learn singing and drawing with the teachers. When they are older, they learn paper cutting, etc. Although they may not receive a more systematic enlightenment education compared to later kindergartens, they are also very happy and have a wonderful childhood.

The factory of this era is a complete living circle, taking care of birth, aging, sickness and death, and it is very comfortable.

While I was chatting with Sha Zhu, I saw Uncle Li Da and Aunt Li coming in with bags.

"Uncle, aunt, why are you here with so many bags?"

Sha Zhu quickly stood up, took the bags and greeted everyone.
