Chapter 170 Giving birth

Chapter 170 Giving birth
Jiang Ning was indeed curious about how much money his second aunt's family had.

But I'm afraid no one can tell him the answer.

The second uncle went to the provincial capital. It was said that the son of an old classmate was working in the province and was the director of a certain department. It was not known whether there was any result, and Jiang Ning was not too concerned. Zhang Yulong was getting married, and his uncle Zhang Yuedong came to find him.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a family, it’s the same wherever you are.

You can't stay in the countryside after getting married.

How could Yao Lili stay in the city alone when she had no job?

Parents always consider things more carefully.

Jiang Ning didn't hesitate and was quite happy to do things for his uncle. He called the female boss and said, "Hello, boss."

The female boss sounded very tired: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ning was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask, so he said, "There's something going on. My uncle's son is stationed in the countryside and is getting married on New Year's Day. It's not good for them to live apart. Boss, please see if you can transfer him to the city."

The female boss said: "I've been busy lately, wait a while!"

Jiang Ning was puzzled, but didn't say anything and ended the call.

It shouldn’t be!

This is just a small matter, not even as big as a sesame seed.

How could the female boss refuse?

After thinking it over, I called another boss.

I agreed to it very happily.

It's really not a big deal.

For ordinary people, that is harder than going to heaven. For Jiang Ning, it is just a matter of using up some favors. There are so many units in the county, and any unit may not be able to accommodate one person. As long as a boss says a word, it will be done.

A few days later, Zhang Yulong was seconded to the county office.

According to relevant policies, one must stay in the village for a full two years.

But rules are dead, people are alive!

Secondment is the most convenient way.

I was busy until the second half of the month.

As the due date approaches, Jiang Ning rarely goes out.

But Second Aunt suddenly fell ill.

All the relatives from her mother's side went to visit, so Jiang Ning had no choice but to go as well.

The three families got together and prepared to go together.

Jiang Ning had a sheep slaughtered and personally caught two rabbits.

I drove to the community and waited downstairs for a while.

Jiang Wei and Jiang Ze also drove over and waited together.

The three brothers got out of the car and stood behind it to exchange information.

Jiang Wei's news was all from the public: "I heard that several project bosses were arrested."

Jiang Ze added: "Those people have already confessed. It is said that they gave 5 million to my second cousin."

Jiang Wei asked Jiang Ning again: "Do you know how much money your second cousin has?"

Jiang Ning said: "How would I know? He won't tell me how much money he has."

Jiang Ze clicked his tongue twice, with a look of pity on his face: "What a pity for my second cousin."

Jiang Ning looked at his face and said, "Why don't I see how you feel sorry for me? Instead, I feel like you are gloating over other people's misfortune."

Jiang Ze immediately denied it: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you talk nonsense!"

Jiang Ning said: "If you don't believe me, ask Wei Ge. It's almost written on his face."

Jiang Ze glared at him angrily, and Jiang Wei chuckled twice and nodded repeatedly.

After waiting for a while, the adults arrived.

Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei each transferred 500 yuan to Jiang Ning. Even if the sheep and two rabbits were prepared by the three families, there was no need to buy other things. It would be a waste to buy too much. It was already quite generous.

After driving to the community, Jiang Ning twisted the rabbit.

The three brothers carried the sheep upstairs, and Father Jiang also lent a hand.

My second aunt's house was quite lively, and my eldest and youngest aunts also came.

Seeing the three brothers were so awesome, they just slaughtered a sheep and praised them a few words.

My second cousin’s wife, Su Hongyan, was also there, with a look of worry on her face.

When he saw someone coming from his uncle's house, he had to force a smile.

Jiang Ning was surprised that his cousin actually came.

I haven't seen this guy for a long time. Ever since he kicked me several times in the project office a few months ago, he has become so mean that we are almost refusing to have anything to do with each other. He no longer visits my uncle's house. I heard that he went to another place to investigate business.

It was quite a surprise to see you today.

"Brother, long time no see!"

Jiang Ning acted as if nothing had happened and greeted everyone as usual.

Zhou Aiguo ignored him with a sullen face.

The elders saw it with their own eyes and sighed in their hearts.

A man in his forties is not as good as a young man.

The more I live, the more I go back.

I went to see my second aunt, and she didn't seem sick.

I feel sick in my heart.

Sitting down on the sofa, my second cousin's wife Su Hongyan made some tea and sat down to chat for a while.

Jiang Ning was very curious about what his cousin was doing, so he asked him, "Where are you making money recently?"

Zhou Aiguo still ignored him.

Jiang Ning asked again: "I heard that you went out to investigate business. Have you found a good project to make money?"

Zhou Guoai had a sullen face, as if he would never have anything to do with him again.

The uncle couldn't stand it anymore: "Jiang Ning is asking you a question. You are in your forties, do you have any manners?"

"Don't mind my business."

Zhou Aiguo snorted angrily, then stood up and left.

My uncle sighed deeply, looking very lonely.

The eldest aunt wiped away her tears.

Every family has a hard-to-read scripture.

On December 12th, the farm held its annual meeting ahead of schedule.

We didn’t go to the New Town Hotel, but just prepared some food and drinks in the cafeteria and had some fun.

There is no more evaluation of outstanding employees. The truly outstanding employees are still the same few people. Those lagging elements will never become outstanding even if they are beaten with sticks. It is meaningless. We simply don't evaluate them and just give out year-end bonuses.

Jiang Ning prepared five or six red envelopes and distributed them to the management.

There is no money in the red envelope, but a small note.

Kong Fangfei took out the note and read it while going to the toilet.

His eyes are so bright, the boss is so generous!
After the show ended at around ten o'clock, Chen Xuefeng returned to the dormitory first.

Jiang Ning's aunt Zhang Yuzhen is a canteen worker and she was busy until after eleven o'clock before returning to the dormitory.

As soon as I walked in, I asked, "How much did you get?"

Chen Xuefeng pointed to the table and said, "Look for yourself."

Zhang Yuzhen picked up the red envelope, pulled out the small piece of paper and looked at it: "20?"

Chen Xuefeng nodded.

Zhang Yuzhen was very happy: "I can earn more than 40,000 yuan, plus the salary I save, I can save more than 300,000 yuan this year."

Chen Xuefeng was very calm and couldn't be happy.

Zhang Yuzhen suddenly said, "The wages at the farm are so good, why not call Chen Gang back to work on the farm as well."

Chen Xuefeng asked, "Why call him back? Can he farm, cut wood or raise livestock?"

Zhang Yuzhen said, "There are always jobs that Chen Gang can do. If not, arrange for him to join the hunting team to catch rabbits. Anyway, you have to find a way to call him back. He is in his thirties. If he doesn't get married, will he be single forever? Look at the two children in Yulan's family. Why are the children of your Chen family so bad? They are all crooked and ugly. None of them is worry-free."

This critical hit damage value is a bit high.

Chen Xuefeng lost his composure. "What are you talking about? How can the Chen family's offspring fail? Even if the business fails, aren't we still upright people? At most, we didn't educate our children well. Stop saying such angry words."

Zhang Yuzhen also felt that what she said was a bit too much, so she sighed: "Every time I see Feng Yu with a big belly, I feel that I will not be able to face the ancestors of the Chen family in a few decades. What sin have I committed!"

When the old couple was worried about their son.

My aunt Zhang Yufang and my uncle Chen Qiang are also taking stock of this year's income.

My uncle-in-law Deng Qiang can earn more than 60,000 yuan.

Zhang Yufang can earn more than 40,000 yuan, and the two of them together can earn 110,000 yuan.

I thought this year would be the same as last year, with a year-end bonus of only 20,000 yuan.

I didn't expect to be paid a year's salary directly. The result of exceeding my expectations was naturally a surprise.

but……

Zhang Yufang asked: "Do you know how much my brother-in-law gave me?"

Deng Qiang didn't take it too seriously: "How would I know? Anyway, it must be more than me."

Zhang Yufang was extremely curious: "Jiang Ning gave me a red envelope specifically, which must be much more than a year's salary. My brother-in-law earns 8,000 yuan a month, which is less than 100,000 yuan a year. Jiang Ning gave me a red envelope specifically, which must be more than 100,000 yuan."

Deng Qiang said, "Go to sleep quickly. Even if I get paid one million, it has nothing to do with you. Why are you curious?"

Zhang Yufang criticized him: "You are the only one who doesn't work hard every day. You just lie down and do nothing with a salary of 5,000 yuan without considering anything. Xiaodong is 24 years old in the new year. He is one year younger than Zhang Yulong. It's time for him to get married. How much money have you saved?"

Deng Qiang is quite optimistic: "I saved 100,000 last year, and I saved more than 80,000 from my salary this year. With the year-end bonus, I can save about 200,000, which makes 300,000. If I save for another two years, it will be enough to buy a house."

Zhang Yufang said: "You wishful thinking, what if Xiaodong buys a house in Bird Market?"

Deng Qiang said, "Houses in Niao City are not that expensive. The highest price is more than 10,000 yuan per square meter, and there are also 7,000 or 8,000 yuan. If you save for another two years, you can buy him a two-bedroom apartment of 80 or 90 square meters in Niao City. But I always feel that his job is not reliable. He is a labor dispatcher and not a formal employee. After working for a few years, he will be fired. I think you might as well go find Jiang Ning and call your son back to work on the farm. The farm also pays for social security, and the payment is higher than theirs."

Zhang Yufang objected: "Working on the railway is a government job, but working on the farm is for private individuals, how can they be the same? We don't even know how many years Jiang Ning's farm will last. What if it fails in a few years? You're thinking too simply."

Deng Qiang turned over and simply stopped thinking about it.

Holding the phone, he continued digging.

Get up early the next day to go to work.

Zhang Yufang took the opportunity to ask her elder sister: "Sister, how much money did your brother-in-law make?"

Zhang Yuzhen looked around and whispered, "Two hundred thousand."

Zhang Yufang was instantly envious: "It's much more than the two of us combined."

Zhang Yuzhen said, "Your brother-in-law is very worried. Have you seen him come home a few times this year?"

This is the truth.

Zhang Yufang said: "Deng Qiang is too unmotivated. He just spends his days idling and goes out drinking with others from time to time. If I don't pay more attention, he will spend all his salary. I told him to learn from my brother-in-law and worry more, but I don't worry."

Zhang Yuzhen said, "Just get by. Some people's personalities are innate and cannot be forced. Working on a farm costs less, and you two can save hundreds of thousands a year. Life will be much better than before."

Zhang Yufang nodded: "That's true."

Zhang Yuzhen asked: "When will you go to the villa?"

Zhang Yufang said, "Wait for Jiang Ning's call. I'll go if he lets me go."

Zhang Yuzhen said: "It will probably be soon, either before New Year's Day or after New Year's Day."

……

After a while, Jiang Ning got up early and ran over to have breakfast.

Zhang Yuzhen found an opportunity to ask him: "Jiang Ning, I want to ask you something!"

Jiang Ning pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit down and talk."

Zhang Yuzhen sat down opposite and asked, "Can Chen Gang come to work in the field?"

Jiang Ning asked, "Will Brother Gang come back?"

Zhang Yuzhen said, "I don't know yet. I have to ask you first. Promise your uncle to call him first."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Then let uncle call, if he wants to come then let him come."

Zhang Yuzhen said yes and made a phone call.

The farm has not been recruiting workers for a long time, and now Jiang Ning’s approval is required to hire someone.

Of course, Lao Yang can also arrange someone, but it is better to find Jiang Ning than Lao Yang!
Jiang Ning looked around while eating.

I didn’t see my uncle this morning. Did I get up late?

It shouldn’t be!

It was just after seven o'clock.

After eating and drinking, I packed two breakfasts and went back to the villa.

……

On December 12, Jiang Ning accompanied Feng Yu to the hospital for examination.

Starting from late December, I go there every day.

It's either a routine check-up or a simple physical examination.

The doctor will decide whether to hospitalize the patient for delivery based on the patient's physical condition.

After the examination on the 29th, the doctor asked me to be hospitalized.

The doctor asked Feng Yu to be hospitalized, so he was admitted.

The Jiang family immediately became busy, and Jiang's father and mother brought their eldest granddaughter to visit.

My eldest aunt, second aunt and several sisters-in-law also came to visit.

Relatives also lined up to come.

Jiang Ning went back to the villa, brought a lot of things, and prepared to stay in the hospital.

Feng Xue also came and stayed with him in the hospital.

The special ward I needed was large enough and had a place to cook.

While Zhang Yulan was sorting out her things, she asked, "Is the milk powder ready?"

Jiang Ning said, "I'm ready." Zhang Yulan asked, "Where is he? Why can't I see him?"

Feng Xue quickly took out a can of milk powder from a cabinet.

Zhang Yulan took it and looked at it: "Is it the same brand as the milk powder you bought for Tingting and Wenwen?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "They are all the same."

Zhang Yulan didn't ask any more questions and continued to count other things.

Since they learned that milk powder is unsafe, my eldest granddaughter and youngest grandson no longer drink domestic milk powder.

The milk powder he eats is all bought by Jiang Ning from outside.

On the last day of 2022, Jiang Ning went to his uncle's house because his cousin Zhang Yulong was getting married the next day.

My uncle's house is also very busy, all the relatives are here.

Jiang Ning didn't care about anything else and arranged a convoy to pick up the bride.

The most tired ones are Jiang's father, Jiang's mother and the two uncles' families. Zhang Yulong is getting married and they have to help with all the arrangements. Feng Yu is about to give birth and they have to visit her in the hospital from time to time. With so many things happening at once, they really don't have time to spare.

On New Year’s Day, we usher in a new year, a new scene and a new atmosphere.

The whole country is celebrating the festival, but the city of Bei'an is extremely busy.

From time to time, you can see wedding processions.

According to statistics afterwards, there were at least twenty couples getting married on New Year's Day.

In contrast, the hospital was quiet.

At six o'clock in the morning, Jiang Ning got up early, washed up and started waiting.

Feng Xue also got up and checked her things after washing up.

Around seven o'clock, someone from the farm brought breakfast.

Jiang Ning and Feng Xue ate a little, but Feng Yu didn't eat.

Around eight o'clock, Zhang Yulan brought her eldest granddaughter over.

Dad Jiang didn't come, and neither did the two aunts. They were all helping out at my uncle's house.

My eldest aunt, second aunt and two cousins ​​also came.

I waited with her until eight o'clock, when the nurse came.

Notice to enter the delivery room.

They said the umbilical cord was wrapped around the neck and the only option was a caesarean section.

It’s decided to do a cesarean section today.

When we arrived at the obstetrics department, everyone else was waiting outside.

Jiang Ning followed in.

Sun Mei asked Jiang Ma, "Aunt San, how did Jiang Ning get in?"

Zhang Yulan said: "He was worried and wanted to watch the cesarean section."

Sun Mei was stunned, and so were her aunt, second aunt, and Jiang Ze's wife.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt that he had some paranoia.

It’s just giving birth to a child, what’s the big deal!

Not only did he invite a doctor from the provincial capital, but he also went in himself.

This is simply...

The eldest aunt asked: "Isn't Jiang Ning afraid?"

Zhang Yulan said: "He said he was not afraid, but I don't know."

The elders didn’t know what to say.

I watched the door of the delivery room close and the light above come on.

I couldn't see anything inside, so I could only sit on a chair in the corridor and wait patiently.

delivery room.

Feng Yu was lying on the operating table, and medical staff were making final preparations.

Jiang Ning completed the disinfection and changed into protective clothing.

Seeing that she was a little nervous, he held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Feng Yu grabbed his hand tightly, still very nervous.

Wait until the medical staff is ready for surgery.

Jiang Ning stepped aside and watched from the side.

From cutting open the belly to taking out the baby, he watched without blinking.

I also found out the gender of the baby right away.

It's a daughter.

Jiang Ning was neither sad nor happy, and felt very normal.

There are no complicated emotions of being a father for the first time.

Feng Yu was awake the whole time, but she didn't feel anything because of the anesthesia on her back. However, she saw the baby after it was taken out. However, she couldn't speak, so she could only use her eyes to ask Jiang Ning, who said, "It's a daughter."

Feng Yu smiled and said that her daughter was doing well.

Since we are going to have two children anyway, it would be fine if the second child is a son.

The nurses washed the baby and performed various examinations on him.

Then wrap yourself in the small quilt you brought.

Jiang Ning ignored the child for the time being and watched the medical staff clean and suture Feng Yu's wound.

Feng Yu didn't go to see his daughter until he had put on his clothes.

The little one, weighing only 6.8 jin, is really too small.

Jiang Ning held it with one hand and touched his thick hair with the other.

The little guy was wrinkled, but not too seriously. He felt much better than my nephew when he was just born. I don’t know if it was because he developed well in the womb or if he was basically strong, but he opened his eyes shortly after being taken out of his mother’s belly.

It’s just that the eyes are too small, like two slits.

His eyes were unfocused and devoid of any emotion.

Observing the outside world in a daze.

……

Outside, the family waited for almost an hour.

Just when I was getting anxious, the lights in the delivery room went out.

It's coming out!

We all have experience, and we know it's time to go out as soon as we see the lights go out.

Sure enough, the nurse opened the door soon.

First, the good news: mother and daughter are safe.

Feng Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Mei looked around and said, "It's a daughter. Congratulations, Third Aunt!"

Zhang Yulan smiled and nodded, in a very happy mood.

Anyway, I already have a grandson, so it doesn’t matter what kind of child he or she has.

After a while, Jiang Ning came out holding the child.

The medical staff followed behind, pushing the ward.

Zhang Yulan was just about to go over to him when she saw Feng Xue go over first.

Just half a step slower.

Jiang Ning came out and handed the child to Feng Xue.

The others surrounded the patient and asked about Feng Yu's condition.

Jiang Ning took the medical bed from the nurse and pushed it himself.

Feng Xue held the child for a while and then handed him to Jiang Ma.

He went to the bedside and showed Feng Yu sign language.

Feng Yu didn't have the energy to speak, and only said two words: "It's okay."

When they arrived at the ward, Jiang Ning carried the patient to the bed.

Then I went to the bathroom to take off my protective clothing.

After I came out, the doctor came and gave me a lot of precautions.

Let your baby breastfeed after half an hour.

If you can’t suck it down, let Jiang Ning suck it.

Anyway, a bunch of...

After the medical staff evacuated.

Sun Meicai asked Jiang Ning: "Aren't you afraid?"

Jiang Ning said: "Don't be afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of when giving birth to a baby."

Sun Mei clicked her tongue twice: "You are really brave. Not many men dare to watch a woman give birth."

The women all nodded, this was the truth.

Not to mention men, even women don’t dare to see it except doctors.

Zhang Yulan held the child and looked at her while saying, "Look at her eyebrows. They are so similar to her mother's, thin and curved. She will definitely be a beauty like her mother when she grows up. Her nose is a bit like Jiang Ning's, straight."

The big-breasted and the middle-breasted both nodded in agreement.

Jiang Ning was speechless after hearing this. How come he couldn't see any resemblance between them?

How can a baby who is only one hour old see these things?

They are all illnesses of the heart.

Zhang Yulan held her granddaughter for a while, then said to Jiang Ning, "There's nothing wrong here, go to the hotel and take a look!"

Jiang Ning nodded and said something to Feng Yu and Feng Xue.

Went to the New Town Hotel.

Zhang Yulong’s wedding banquet was held at the New Town Hotel.

When we got downstairs, the security guard saw the boss coming and asked, "Boss, is the baby born?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "It's born."

"What did you give birth to?"

"Give birth to a daughter."

"congratulations!"

"Well, I'll give you the bonus when I get back."

"real or fake?"

"Really?"

Jiang Ning strode upstairs, feeling very happy.

After all, it is still happy to have children.

The security guard was also very happy. He didn't expect to get a bonus just for congratulating him.

I was wondering how much bonus my boss would give me.

Jiang Ning went upstairs and was questioned all the way.

Everyone in the hotel knew that his wife was going to give birth today.

They sent their congratulations one after another.

When we arrived at the banquet hall, there was no need to ask any questions from the relatives.

Mother Jiang took photos and sent them to the group immediately.

The relatives had already seen it.

It's still early, not even ten o'clock.

Most of the relatives were still in Zhang Yulong's new house and did not come over.

Only several uncles from the Zhang family came early to greet the guests. Father Jiang and the eldest and second uncles were also there. It was not until almost eleven o'clock that people started to arrive. When Jiang Ning saw Deng Xiaoyun, he was surprised: "When did Sister Xiaoyun come back?"

Deng Xiaoyun said, "I arrived last night. I heard that you became a father?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Just gave birth this morning."

"congratulations!"

"You have to hold on tight too!"

One sentence almost ruined the whole chat.

Deng Xiaoyun said angrily: "Can you please stop mentioning this to me?"

Jiang Ning hit back: "You are already 27."

Deng Xiaoyun couldn't bear it and ran away.

Jiang Ning asked his uncle who was sitting next to him, "Did Sister Xiaoyun come back specially?"

Deng Qiang nodded: "He originally said he wouldn't come back, but the day before yesterday he called and said he would come back. He arrived at 2 a.m. last night."

Jiang Ning asked again: "Where is Deng Xiaodong? Can't he come back?"

Deng Qiang said: "I can't come back. I can't take a leave without rest."

Jiang Ning looked around and asked his uncle, "Have Brother Gang and Sister Yan come back?"

Chen Xuefeng flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "I didn't come. He said he couldn't get leave."

Jiang Ning asked, "A few days ago, my aunt said she wanted Gang to come back to work on the farm. Will you come?"

Chen Xuefeng said: "From what he said, it doesn't seem to be going up."

Jiang Ning asked, "What on earth is Brother Gang doing in Western Xinjiang?"

Chen Xuefeng paused for a moment before telling the truth: "I'm massaging a woman's feet!"
