Chapter 295: About to Give Birth
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Your stomach is really not small. In the past, when I was about to give birth, I was only your age. There’s still more than a month to go. You have to control it. Otherwise, if the child is too big, I’m afraid it won’t be a natural birth. Even if it comes down, it’ll be easy to tear.”
Meng Xiaoning’s eyes widened. “Tear?”
Li Xu moved closer to Meng Xiaoning’s ear and muttered something.
Meng Xiaoning was a little curious initially, but then she became shy.
“If the child is smaller, you will suffer less!” Li Xu instructed, “Don’t take it lightly. Under the premise that your nutrition can keep up, eat less if you can.” “I understand, Big Sister!” Meng Xiaoning nodded quickly.
She felt a little warm inside.
Some Aunts only care about the child in their stomach and wish that their stomach would be as big as possible.
The older the child, the better the child will grow.
Thinking of this, Meng Xiaoning really felt she had married the right person.
From her husband to her in-laws to her sister-in-law, they all treated her well and treated her as a real family.
Li Xu said a few more words before she helped Meng Xiaoning into the house.
After dinner, the family went to the fields.
The twenty acres of the greenhouse had been turned over and divided into ridges.
It had just been planted, and the seedlings had not yet bloomed. They had been running the greenhouse for more than a year, and now it was equivalent to starting from scratch.
Looking at the barren land, Li Xu was filled with emotions.
She hoped that everything would be smooth sailing in the future after this calamity passed!
Li Xu stayed home until six in the evening, but Li Yong didn’t return.
If they waited any longer, the sky would turn dark. Li Xu had to bring the children back.
Before she left, she quietly said to Li Lei, “When he comes back, tell him to know his limits and not to do anything out of line.”
Li Lei had been through this and understood what Li Xu meant.
“I’ll tell him when he comes back,” he nodded, his face a little red.
It wasn’t until the next Thursday night that Zhang Kun received a call from Zhang Jun.
The loans he and Zhang Yao applied for had been transferred to their accounts. They each got 3000 Yuan, enough to build a greenhouse of two acres.
The following day, Li Xu contacted the boss who bought the steel pipe. She gave them the address and asked them to meet Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun asked for help, and the greenhouse was built entirely on Saturday.
Li Xu took the afternoon off and returned to teach Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao how to grow vegetables.
The two of them were pretty smart and learned quickly. Zhang Jun even took out a notebook and jotted down everything Li Xu said.
Li Xu was delighted to see the two of them being so serious.
In the blink of an eye, it was already late October.
Everything was developing in a good direction. The Li family and the Zhang family’s greenhouses were growing well, and the business in the store had always been booming.
It was Meng Xiaoning, who was already due to give birth, but had not launched the engine.
Li Lei was afraid that she would give birth at any time, so he brought her to live in a house in the city.
This place was close to the hospital, so they could go to the hospital in time if she were about to give birth.
Liu Guihua and Liang Huimei went with them to take care of Meng Xiaoning.
Li Lei’s house was not far from Li Xu’s house, so Li Xu would bring Ji Yuanyuan to Li Lei’s house from time to time at night to check on Meng Xiaoning’s condition.
That night, the family was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, they heard someone knocking on the door. Knock, knock, knock. It almost gave them a heart attack.
Li Xu hurriedly went to open the door. When she opened the door, Li Lei was standing at the door with an anxious look on his face. He pulled Li Xu and was about to walk out. “Sister, Xiaoning is about to give birth. We have to send her to the hospital as soon as possible.”
When Li Xu heard this, she immediately sobered up.
She shook off Li Yong’s hand. “Wait a moment. I need to put on some clothes and shoes.”
She had the tricycle at home. It would be more convenient to drive the tricycle to the hospital.
Li Xu casually put on a coat and changed her shoes. She took her keys and was about to leave.
Zhang Kun was also woken up by the noise and came over from the opposite side. “What’s going on?”
Li Xu didn’t have time to say anything to him. She only said, “Xiaoning is about to give birth. You stay at home and look after the child.”
“Then hurry up,” Zhang Kun said quickly. “Don’t forget to bring some money.”
Li Xu was reminded and quickly went back to her room. She took out a thousand Yuan from the drawer.
Only then did he hurriedly follow Li Lei.
At this time, Ji Yuanyuan had been woken up. She stood in the living room with hazy eyes, looked at Zhang Kun, and asked, “Daddy, where is Mommy going?”
Zhang Kun closed the door and coaxed her. “Your Aunt is giving birth to a baby. Your Mother will go and take care of her! You still have school tomorrow. Go back to sleep!”
Although Zhang Kun treated Ji Yuanyuan as his own daughter, she was not related to him by blood.
Li Xu wasn’t at home, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to enter Ji Yuanyuan’s room. He just stood in the living room and talked.
Ji Yuanyuan rubbed her eyes and nodded. “I know. Daddy, you should go to sleep too. You still have work tomorrow morning!”
Zhang Kun’s heart warmed. “I know. I’ll sleep in my Mommy’s room. If you need anything, tell me.”
Ji Yuanyuan made a sound of acknowledgment and strode back to the room with her short legs. She climbed onto the bed and fell asleep very quickly.
Zhang Kun returned to Li Xu’s room but could not fall asleep for a long time.
On the other side, when Li Xu and Li Lei drove to the community, Meng Xiaoning was already downstairs.
Liang Huimei supported her, and Liu Guihua was carrying a quilt and a bag.
When the three-wheeled motorcycle came, Liu Guihua quickly spread the quilt on the car and told Meng Xiaoning to get in and lie down.
Meng Xiaoning’s belly was too big, and she finally got into the car with Li Lei’s help.
A group of people rushed to the hospital by tricycle.
With something on his mind, Zhang Kun woke up very early.
He thought that the few of them were in a mess in the hospital and might not have time to eat.
In addition, Meng Xiaoning was pregnant, so it was best for her to eat nutritious food.
He got up and started to cook.
There was no refrigerator in the house, so the meat was all eaten up.
However, there were still some of the prawns left that he had bought yesterday. They were already in a half-dead state in the pot.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Kun used the remaining prawns to make prawn dumplings.
The dumplings could be stored, so they could be eaten when the children woke up later!
Zhang Kun was very agile. In less than an hour, the dumplings were out of the pot.
He took out a thermos, put the dumplings in it, and quietly went out.
He didn’t know which hospital Li Xu and the others went to, but the People’s Hospital was the closest to their home. Moreover, the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the People’s Hospital was not bad.
Zhang Kun went to try his luck. Who knew that he would really guess it?
When he reached the third floor, Meng Xiaoning had already entered the delivery room, and the others were waiting outside.
“How long has she been in there? Still no movement?” Zhang Kun quietly pulled Li Xu over and asked.
Li Xu replied, “She just went in for half an hour. This is her first pregnancy. The child is also big.. I’m afraid it won’t be over so soon!”
