Chapter 688 Xu Huizhen was pushed into the delivery room
Time flies, and two weeks have passed in a flash.
Xu Huizhen's due date is in these two days. He Yuzhu took a special leave on this day to send Xu Huizhen to the hospital in advance.
Seeing He Yuzhu moving large and small bags into the tricycle, Chen Xueru asked curiously:
"Zhu Zi, are you moving?"
He Yuzhu said casually: "No, these are quilts and baby supplies. I plan to send Huizhen to the hospital in advance."
Chen Xueru asked in confusion: "Hasn't Xu Huizhen given birth yet? Why did she send him to the hospital in advance?"
In this era, pregnant women usually ask midwives to deliver the baby at home, or they are sent to the hospital when they are about to give birth. Very few pregnant women stay in the hospital in advance to give birth.
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't people often say that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell? I was also afraid of any accidents, so I sent Huizhen to the hospital in advance to wait for the birth."
Chen Xueru felt sad when she heard this. It was the same as Xu Huizhen's experience when she gave birth to her first child. No one took her to the hospital. She went to the hospital alone with her big belly and almost died in the delivery room due to dystocia.
Thinking of this, Chen Xueru couldn't help but sigh:
"He Yuzhu, you are so good to Xu Huizhen. It is her greatest luck in this life that she can marry you."
He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "You are serious. She is my wife. If I don't treat her well, who else can I treat well?"
Chen Xueru felt jealous when she heard this, and said sourly:
"He Yuzhu, you are so thoughtful. You have prepared everything, including quilts, kettles, ceramic basins, enamel cups, aluminum lunch boxes, baby bottles, diapers, small clothes, and even milk powder?"
He Yuzhu said calmly: "Chen Xueru, can you help me check if there is anything missing?"
Chen Xueru pouted and said, "You've prepared everything so well, what is there to be missed?"
He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and said loudly: "No, we need to prepare some brown sugar. Huizhen needs blood after giving birth."
"I'm going to buy some brown sugar now, Xueru, tell Huizhen for me, I'll be back soon."
Chen Xueru looked at He Yuzhu who was busy running around, and she felt very regretful. She regretted not taking He Yuzhu down earlier, allowing Xu Huizhen to get such a big advantage.
At this time, Xu Huizhen came out of the house holding a package. Noticing that He Yuzhu was gone, she frowned and asked:
"Chen Xueru, did you see where my man went?"
Chen Xueru said angrily: "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell brown sugar. They said you would bleed when giving birth, so they wanted to prepare brown sugar to replenish your blood."
Xu Huizhen was dissatisfied and said, "Chen Xueru, I didn't provoke you, why are you talking to me in this tone?"
Chen Xueru said angrily: "Who said you didn't provoke me? It was you who provoked me. Who made you marry such a considerate man?"
Xu Huizhen smiled like a flower and said proudly, "So you are jealous of me?"
Chen Xueru said very straightforwardly: "Yes, I am jealous. I am not as good as you Xu Huizhen in that aspect. How can you find such an excellent man? But I can't find one?"
Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Chen Xueru is indeed no worse than you, but fate is something that cannot be forced. I just met the right person at the right time. I believe that you will also meet the right person in the near future."
"Huizhen, are we good sisters?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Would you please let me have the pillar?"
When Xu Huizhen heard this, her face darkened instantly and she said in a cold voice:
"Chen Xueru, are you crazy? How can you say such shameless words?"
"Chen Xueru, I'm warning you, don't have any ideas about my man, otherwise we won't even be sisters anymore."
Chen Xueru laughed awkwardly: "Huizhen, I was just joking with you, why are you angry?"
Xu Huizhen said with a dark face: "Is this a joke?"
Chen Xueru pouted and said, "Okay, okay, I won't make jokes like this in the future, okay?"
He Yuzhu came back and saw the two girls were in a tense situation. He asked in confusion:
"What are you two doing, you two are so anxious?"
"Nothing!"
Chen Xueru's eyes were panicked, and she quickly changed the subject: "Zhu Zi, why did you buy the brown sugar so quickly?"
He Yuzhu did not answer Chen Xueru, but turned to Xu Huizhen and said:
"Huizhen, take a look, is there anything else you need to bring?"
Xu Huizhen shook her head and said, "I can't think of anything at the moment. Let's go to the hospital first. If you need anything, come back and get it. It's not far anyway."
He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you get in the car."
Chen Xueru said: "He Yuzhu, give me your bicycle key, I will go to the hospital with you."
He Yuzhu declined politely: "Don't bother, I can do it alone!"
Chen Xueru said dissatisfiedly: "What trouble is it? Huizhen is my good sister."
"Besides, when you go to register for hospitalization, doesn't someone have to accompany Huizhen?"
He Yuzhu heard this and felt that what Chen Xueru said made sense, so he didn't insist anymore.
Coincidentally, Xu Huizhen had just been admitted to the hospital when her stomach started to move.
"Ouch! Zhuzi, my stomach hurts and I feel like I'm about to give birth!"
"Don't worry, wife. I'll go call a doctor now."
When the doctor learned the news, he immediately arranged for a nurse to push Xu Huizhen into the delivery room.
Hearing Xu Huizhen's shrill cries coming from the delivery room, He Yuzhu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Chen Xueru comforted him, "Zhu Zi, don't worry. This isn't the first time Xu Huizhen has given birth. Nothing will go wrong."
"Instead of worrying here, why don't you go find the child's clothes?"
He Yuzhu said excitedly: "Yes...Yes, I will go get the baby's clothes now."
A moment later, He Yuzhu brought the child's clothes.
"Xue Ru, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to handle it all by myself."
Chen Xueru smiled and said, "He Yuzhu, you are too polite. Xu Huizhen is my good sister. Besides, you have helped me a lot."
"Hey, why did you bring two pieces of clothing?"
He Yuzhu asked in confusion: "Didn't Huizhen tell you that she was pregnant with twins?"
Hearing this, Chen Xueru said loudly, "Xu Huizhen is really too much. She didn't even tell me such an important thing."
"Xue Ru, don't be angry, she may have forgotten to tell you."
"Don't cover up for Xu Huizhen. How could she forget such a thing?"
He Yuzhu changed the subject and asked, "Chen Xueru, does it usually take longer to give birth?"
Chen Xueru pondered for a moment and said calmly:
"It depends on the individual. Generally, it takes about ten hours to give birth to a first child. If it's a second child, the time will be shortened by about half."
"Although Xu Huizhen is having her second child, this time she is having twins, so the delivery time should not be less than ten hours."
He Yuzhu was shocked and asked, "What? It takes so long?"
Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and said, "What do you think? Is this why people often say that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell?"
