In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Chapter 433 Giving birth

Jianghuaibei also has its own demands.

"Who did it? Don't you want to take a nap?" Huaixi was curious. His second brother was so energetic.

"No, I'll get the meat after I finish my meal. I'll leave it to my aunt in the afternoon." Huaibei felt that he had used his brain more this year and was often very hungry. He basically ate all the peach cakes and biscuits bought by home.

Sometimes I would sleep until dawn and my stomach would start growling. I used to make fun of Huainan.

Only when it was my turn did I start to feel it. This was different from simply being hungry. I really wanted to eat meat.

I eat 3 bowls of meatless meals and feel like I have digested them when I wake up from a nap at noon. The problem is that there is no one at home who specializes in cooking.

Gu Lixia also felt a sense of urgency. There was not much time left, as there were less than 20 days left until the exam.

We also make pickles at home.

"After this month, starting next month, all four of you will take half a day off every day to study at home. Also, take care of the logistics so that we can eat as soon as we get home. During the two days of the exam, Huaixi, perform well. If you do a good job in logistics, you'll get a corresponding reward, two yuan a day."

"Okay." Huaixi agreed happily. He had been saving for New Year's money since he was a child, and had only saved 12.29 yuan. How could he not be happy when he got another 4 yuan?

"I plan to go see Susan this afternoon. Sister Qingnan called and said she's given birth. I'll go see her before she's discharged from the hospital and get her two bags of milk powder. It's okay if I come back early." Jiang Xiu already knew that Susan had given birth.

The relationship between Jiang Han and Jiang Qingjin, as between good brothers and lovers, should be as good as possible.

As soon as Susan found out she was pregnant, she quit her job and took care of herself. Plus, she had her third sister Jiang Qingnan to take care of her. Jiang Qingnan did not go on this mission because his wife was about to give birth.

"Let's stew a chicken and take it to the hospital. The thermos you prepared when you gave birth is still usable. Jiang Han is not here, so you're needed to take over. The other battalion commanders' families will resent you for carrying two bags of milk powder. They might just take two taels of brown sugar." Gu Lixia thought about it and decided to put on a complete show.

"Bring the stewed soup over there. If you see someone around, tell them Sister Nan called and asked for your help. If no one's around, put down the milk powder you prepared and have Qing Jin prepare it for Susan. Also, bring half a basket of apples from home. I'll go with you. I'm free this afternoon."

Gu Lixia felt that she had to go and take a look. After all, she already knew about it and couldn't pretend not to know. She would go with her sister-in-law to let the Jiang siblings feel that Jiang Han valued his brothers.

"Okay." After clearing away the pots and pans, Jiang Xiu started stewing chicken soup.

Others brush their teeth, wash their faces and take a lunch break.

Gu Lixia slept until 4 p.m. When she woke up, her sister-in-law had already prepared chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Seeing Gu Lixia get up and go to the bathroom, Jiang Xiu also put down her pen, went into the kitchen, and fished out chicken and chicken soup, filling three layers.

I took half a basket of apples from the storage room and two bags of milk powder from the display case.

Lock the door and go.

Gu Lixia drove herself to the military hospital with her sister-in-law sitting in the passenger seat.

"Wait until Jiang Han comes back, and then you two can discuss how to look after the woman who has just given birth..."

When he arrived at the hospital, Jiang Qingjin saw him as soon as he entered. He came out to see off the families of several other battalion commanders.

She was being polite at the gate when she saw Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu. "Second sister-in-law and sister-in-law are here. Thank you for coming here. You can come home when Brother Han comes back. Aunt Sun, please go back slowly."

Gu Lixia and the other two went in. The four people at the door looked at each other and asked, "Why are we carrying such a big basket?"

"I brought a pound of brown sugar."

"Who isn't?"

"The basket was covered tightly, so you couldn't see anything. She was also carrying a three-layered insulated lunch box. These two families are so close. Girls from the city are so fair and look like unmarried girls."

"Yeah, look at her, she still likes to wear leather shoes in this weather."

"Even city dwellers can't necessarily live like this. Having a brother who can stand up for himself is the most important thing in the family. Even if you become a leader of the Revolutionary Committee, you still have to look after men and go home to take care of the whole family."

"No, that doesn't look like the skill for working."

Jiang walked towards the family compound, muttering to himself.

Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu followed Jiang Qingjin upstairs, pushed the door open, and found Susan asleep.

Jiang Qingnan is not here.

The child curled up next to his mother and fell asleep.

The child's eyes were tightly closed, but it was obvious that he had cataract.

After putting down the things, the mother fell asleep. Gu Lixia pulled Jiang Xiu out of the ward and said, "Qingjin, we'll go back first. Let Susan have a good rest. Who will help take care of her during the confinement period?"

"When I'm discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow, my sister-in-law in the family compound can help me during the day, and my sister and I can take care of me at night." Jiang Qingjin thought about it. Her mother is old and has difficulty walking, so she can't travel far.

My sister-in-law also has to take care of the family and the elderly, so it’s not convenient.

The others were all far away, so they could only ask their sisters-in-law on both sides to lend a hand and bring some food to the neighbors' homes on both sides when the time came.

Susan's mother accepted the money sent to her but never replied to any letters since the mother and daughter separated. Her nephew is much more important than her daughter.

"Then go back slowly."

"Okay, no need to send me off, let's go back." After refusing, Gu Lixia and her sister-in-law went downstairs.

As soon as she got in the car, Jiang Xiu began to sigh, "It's been a long time since I've seen a newborn baby. Now that I think about it, I've almost forgotten whether Huaizhi and Huaishu looked like this when they were born."

"Go back and look through the photo album. Do you still want a second child now?" Gu Lixia suddenly remembered that there was a time when her sister-in-law was particularly cautious, fearing that she would get pregnant.

"No, now that I'm pregnant and the baby is born, who will take care of it for me? I can't do it by myself. Did you just see how pale Susan's face is? She has yellow skin, and her mouth is so pale."

Jiang Xiu wanted this before because most families have at least four or five children, and everyone knew that Jiang Xiu had only given birth to one child, so they couldn't help but persuade her to have a younger brother or sister.

Jiang Xiu thought so too. Both she and Jiang Han had few brothers and sisters, so if they had more children, they would help each other in the future.

However, Shen Roujun, her biological mother, came to recuperate and did not ask when to have a second child for half a year. Jiang Xiu was worried that the plan could not be implemented.

Jiang Han told Jiang Xiu what his biological mother said when he asked her, and Jiang Xiu was completely relieved.

In fact, no one knew that when Jiang Xiu got on the delivery bed, she was very scared. She didn't know how to push, and she only felt pain but no strength. She was very afraid that she would lose the baby during childbirth.

What's more, there are already 7 brothers in the family, which is not too few. Jiang Xiu often comforts herself in this way.

In fact, I love children in my heart, but I don’t have the courage to have another one. Now I feel so painful when I think about giving birth to Huaizhi and Huaishu.
