If you are still in this world, then this world is meaningful to me no matter what. But if you are gone, then no matter how beautiful this world is, it is only a desert in my eyes, and I am like a wandering ghost.
After a while, Li Zhaokun also arrived. It was a half-hour drive from the south side of his home to the west side of Marie Hospital. He chose this hospital because it was one of the few hospitals in Hong Kong that provided 24-hour emergency services.
He saw that his eldest daughter-in-law was lying on the bed, and there was no doctor next to her. His eldest son was leaning against the wall, and Four was standing by the bed. Wang Yulan and Five were sitting on the chairs in the corridor. They were all silent. He asked Wang Yulan softly, "Are you alright?"
He was even more nervous than Wang Yulan when it came to the future of the Li family.
Wang Yulan was about to speak when she heard her eldest daughter-in-law's pained groan. Urgently, she heard her fourth daughter's shout.
"Her water broke! Quick, call the doctor and get a respirator. "Four rushed into the delivery room and ran toward the nurse on duty.
After the doctor arrived, everyone was chased out of the delivery room again.
Ignoring the nurse's advice, Li He lit one cigarette after another in the corridor. He Fang's painful cries in the ward made him very worried.
The nurse had no choice but to leave. She couldn't afford to offend someone who dared to scold the director.
Just now, when the doctor came late, Li He almost caused a medical disturbance.
Four poked Li He. "Brother, you have to be mentally prepared."
Li He asked, "Why?"
"Usually, when the water breaks, it will be very painful. But it won't be so fast. It might be a contraction. I think we need a C-section," Four said carefully. The look of despair in her brother's eyes almost scared her to death.
At some point, she almost understood what her sister-in-law meant when she said 'your brother's heart is bitter'.
Her brother had always been strict with himself and tolerant towards others. Her brother's underwear was no more than ten yuan, and a bottle of Maotai was no more than two hundred yuan. As for herself, a dress was a few thousand yuan, a pair of shoes was a few hundred yuan, a hair clip was dozens of yuan, and the red wine at home was tens of thousands of yuan. She and Five drank it like tea.
A few days ago, her brother had told her that when she went to England, he would buy her a Ferrari. It would be as flashy as she wanted it to be.
She felt guilty towards her brother, but she couldn't understand why she had to suffer so much.
When they were young, the one who circled around the table with a feather duster and wanted to beat her was her older brother. Now, the one who cared for her in every possible way was still her older brother.
The corner of her mouth revealed a trace of a smile. Her brother must have felt resentful towards her for not living up to his expectations, and loved and hated her at the same time!
When she grew up, in her adolescence, she learned and understood rebellion, and she understood that her brother's love for her was long and tolerant.
"Then let's have a C-section." Li He really wanted to forget that C-section surgeries were very immature at this time, whether it was in China or abroad.
Caesarean section means gambling on luck.
As soon as he finished speaking, a doctor came out.
Four was talking to the doctor, and he pretended not to hear anything.
"Brother, sign it." Four handed the form and pen to his brother.
"You sign it."
"Okay." Four did not hesitate and signed his name.
After the doctor went in, the door of the delivery room opened again. The door of the delivery room opened again, and He Fang was pushed out.
Li He rushed over and was about to grab He Fang's hand, but was pushed away by the doctor.
He stayed behind and kept looking at the various tests, blood test, urine test, pelvic examination, and fetal heart test.
He Fang was pushed into the delivery room again, and Li He followed her in resolutely.
The anesthesiologist came in and asked her to lie on her left side and bend her body. The more she bent, the better, like a shrimp. However, her stomach was too big, and she couldn't bend her body. The anesthesiologist started to give her an epidural anesthesia from her waist up.
Li He watched as her whole body trembled, and his heart ached even more.
However, the doctor closed the curtain.
"Horizontal or vertical?" Li He heard the doctor ask.
"Horizontal."
After hearing He Fang's words, Li He seemed to hear the sound of a knife cutting her stomach again. It was so ear-piercing, so heart-wrenching.
Li He couldn't help but stand up when he heard the child's cries.
When the doctor came out, he didn't ask anything.
He didn't move even when the doctor opened the door and Wang Yulan, Five, and the others rushed in.
Four saw that Li He was still in a daze, so he carried the child to him. "Brother, are you happy now? It's a little niece. "
"I have a daughter." Li He was happy from the bottom of his heart, but before he could see, the child had already been carried away by the nurse.
Li He stood by He Fang's bed. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he didn't wake her up. He just held her hand tightly and kissed it deeply. "I'm sorry."
He felt the movement of her fingers.
He stayed by her side quietly. Although the air conditioner was on, her forehead was sweating from time to time, and he used his sleeve to wipe it off for her.
At nine o 'clock, the Yu Family, the Shen Family, and even Old Man Lee came. The entrance of the ward was crowded with people.
Old Madam Yu put the fishbone soup on the table and said with heartache, "This daughter has suffered greatly."
"Auntie, you do it."
Li He went out to greet Old Man Lee and the others.
"Congratulations." Old Man Lee was also happy for Li He.
"Give me all the cigarettes." This was the first thing Li He said when they met.
Old Man Lee said, "You know I don't smoke cigarettes."
Xiao Quan, who was at the side, gave the cigarettes in his pocket to Li He.
Four came over and said, "Brother, let's go down and have some breakfast."
"Okay." Li He called out to Old Man Lee, "Let's go together."
Everyone went downstairs together.
There was a small square between the Outpatient Clinic and the Inpatient Department. The flowers in the flowerbed were in full bloom, and their fragrance filled the air. There were a few neatly trimmed landscape trees with lush green leaves. There was a pond in the middle of the small square. There was a rockery in the pond, and dozens of red carps were swimming in it.
Li He took a closer look and lit a cigarette in a practiced manner. He sat down on the steps, unwilling to move.
Old Man Lee picked up his pipe and said disdainfully, "When I was young, I was just like you. I felt like the end of the world was coming to an end even if it was just a fart."
Li He said, "I'm fine."
Old Man Lee patted his shoulder and said, "Be content."
Li He ignored him. He stood up and led the way to a stall at the side. He ordered a bowl of noodles and ate it before leaving, leaving Yu Dehua to pay the bill.
"Six pounds six taels. That's not light. It's heavier than Five."
Li He heard his mother's happy voice the moment he entered.
Wang Yulan hugged the child and was overjoyed. "When Five came out, he was so pitiful. His grandmother even said that he wouldn't be able to live. Look, he's fine now."
