Several months had passed in the blink of an eye, and it was winter in Qingyang City.
Qingman's labor was getting more and more intense, and she would feel pain from time to time. Seeing that she was about to give birth, it was no longer appropriate for her to continue staying in the provincial capital. Thus, Li Rui brought her back to Qingyang City and sent her to Sea City General Hospital, where the birth records were kept, so that she could be ready to give birth at any time. His mother-in-law, He Suli, followed him to Qingyang City. She took care of Qingman for Li Rui before giving birth and accompanied her during her confinement.
Zixuan also came to Qingyang City from the provincial capital to accompany Qingman in the hospital.
Qingman went into labor that night. She had severe abdominal pain, redness, and a slight rupture of her amniotic fluid. The doctor didn't dare to delay and sent her to the operation room immediately.
Before that day, Li Rui, Lu Zhouxing, and He Suli had asked Qingman more than once if she wanted to have a natural birth or a cesarean section. Qingman heard that babies born naturally would be very smart and brave after their heads were squeezed. Of course, the whole family agreed with her if she wanted to have a natural birth.
However, Li Rui was concerned about her and warned her that if she didn't have the strength to give birth or couldn't bear the pain, she should have a cesarean section. Qingman agreed with him and said that if she didn't want to give birth, she could have a cesarean section.
She agreed, but now she was pushed into the delivery room, and Li Rui couldn't accompany her. He didn't know what she would do in the end, which made him very worried. He was afraid that Qingman would rather give birth to the baby by herself for the sake of the baby. If that happened, she would have to suffer.
Lu Zhouxing, who was in the provincial capital, heard that Qingman was about to give birth. He put off his work immediately and rushed over by car. Li Jianmin had also arrived. The two families of four and Zixuan, who was not an outsider, were all waiting anxiously at the door of the delivery room. However, there was no movement inside. It was terribly quiet, as if there was another world inside.
Before Qing Man was pushed into the delivery room, Li Rui had consulted the doctor about the delivery time. If it was a natural delivery, the time could be from a few minutes to a few hours, or even more than ten hours. However, if it was a cesarean section, it would be over in about ten minutes. From the initial injection of anesthetic to the completion of the incision, it would take at most half an hour. However, now that a quarter of an hour had passed, there was still no movement inside, which made people worried and afraid.
Another 15 minutes. While they were anxious, Li Rui's eyes. If it was a cesarean section, Qingman to give birth to the baby to time to give birth to the baby... but there was no news of the baby. Did that mean that Qingman was still of trying to give birth to the baby by herself?
Zixuan was so anxious that he couldn't sit still. He stared at Li Rui and asked, "Why hasn't she come out yet?"
Li Rui looked at Yang Ping, who had been waiting beside him. Yang Ping was supposed to go home after work. However, when she heard that Li Rui's wife was about to give birth, she hurried over to see if she could help.
Yang Ping saw Li Rui looking at her anxiously. She understood what he was thinking and comforted him, "Don't worry. It takes time for a woman to give birth."
Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not worried. I'm just worried that Qingman will suffer …"
Yang Ping sighed and said, "Which woman doesn't suffer when giving birth? Even if it's a cesarean section, it will still hurt for a while after the anesthetic wears off. The greatness of a woman is reflected in this. "
Zixuan heard this and interrupted, "I don't want greatness. I don't want to have children in the future." After that, he glared at Li Rui.
Li Rui ignored him and said to Yang Ping, "But I'm worried that she doesn't have the ability to give birth on her own. You don't know, but she rarely exercises. Her physical fitness is average. It should be difficult for her to give birth. "
Yang Ping shook her head and said, "A woman giving birth has little to do with her physical fitness. It mainly depends on the development of her bones and the ability to expand and contract her muscles. Many women who don't exercise usually find it difficult to do some work, but it's easy to give birth. They can give birth almost without feeling anything. So don't worry. Hehe, forget it. I'd better go in and ask. It'll save you from being so anxious. "
Zixuan thanked her twice. The few of them watched her walk into the delivery room at the same time.
He Suli smiled and said, "Xiao Rui, we're already here. Don't be anxious. It's okay to be slow. As long as the mother and child are safe, it's fine."
Zixuan helped Li Rui and said, "He's worried that my sister will suffer."
Lu Zhouxing was more open-minded and said, "President Yang said it well just now. How can a woman not suffer when giving birth? Just take good care of the child after giving birth. "
After the few of them said this, they all looked at the door of the operating theater. They thought that Yang Ping would come out after going in. Who knew that after she went in for a long time, she seemed to have disappeared into thin air and never came out again.
Zixuan was impatient and unhappy. He said, "What's wrong with this woman? What's going on inside? Why didn't she come out and say something? She went in and didn't come out. What the hell is she doing? "
Li Rui waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. President Yang is a good person. She definitely didn't ask. If she did, she would come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the operating theater opened. Yang Ping walked out with a smile and said to Li Rui, "Congratulations, Xiao Rui. You gave birth to a fat boy."
Hearing this, Li Rui felt like he was in a dream. He didn't feel anything at all. His mind was empty and blank. He didn't know what he was thinking at all. He didn't know where he was. He lost himself in an instant.
Lu Zhouxing patted him on the shoulder and said with a laugh, "Good, I have another grandson."
Li Jianmin also laughed and said, "We finally have a grandson! Our family has a baby! "
He Suli also laughed and said, "Really? He's finally born? "
Yang Ping explained, "He was just born and is stitching up Qingman. The process wasn't very difficult and Qingman didn't suffer much. Both mother and child are safe, haha."
Zixuan patted Li Rui on the shoulder and said, "Hey, I say, how does it feel to be a father?"
The others all looked at Li Rui with a smile.
Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I … I don't know either."
Everyone laughed. He Suli and Li Jianmin were overjoyed. One said that Li Rui was lucky to have a son as his first child, while the other said that Qingman was a good daughter-in-law as her first child was a son. Li Rui was amused. In the end, it was just the same meaning.
After a while, a nurse came out of the operating theater with a baby in her arms and said, "Who is the family member of the pregnant woman, Lu Qingman?"
Li Rui was just about to answer when He Suli, Li Jianmin, and Zixuan surrounded him.
Li Jianmin reached out and snatched the baby from the nurse's arms and said, "Grandpa … Grandpa …"
The nurse laughed and said, "You're the baby's grandpa, right? Don't call him grandpa. That's messy. "Then, she handed the baby over.
Li Jianmin chuckled and said, "I want to say grandpa, carry!"
A group of people surrounded Li Jianmin and looked at the baby in his arms. They all said that the baby looked very much like Li Rui. It was as if they were made from the same mold. Although Li Rui was the baby's father, he couldn't squeeze in at this time. After a long time, he finally saw the baby. He saw that the baby was fair, clean, and handsome. Didn't he look exactly like himself when he was young? He couldn't help but feel happy.
After a few minutes, the nurse pushed Qingman out of the operating theater. Li Rui went up to her and comforted her. He held her hand and asked her for a long time. Qingman was very conscious. She didn't look like she was in pain. Then, she greeted her family members who surrounded her.
"Xiao Rui, did you give birth? What did you give birth to?" Du Minsheng's voice came from the elevator.
Everyone looked over and saw Du Minsheng and his wife, Chen Lijuan, hurrying over. They both smiled and said, "Yes, it's a boy …"
From that day on, the Li and Lu families were immersed in the great joy of having a son for about half a month. The baby's name was given by his grandfather, Lu Zhouxing, as Li Bowen. This made him look more refined. Li Rui himself was very satisfied.
Qingman stayed in the renovated welfare room of Cloud Lake Immortal Abode for her confinement. Her nanny, Xiao Hong, took care of her meals and He Suli took care of her daily life. Li Rui wanted to ask the confinement nanny to take care of the baby for the first month, but He Suli didn't agree. She said that she was worried about the quality of the confinement nanny's work. She decided that she and Qingman would take care of the baby together. She would help during the day, and Qingman would take care of the baby at night. After all, she had to breastfeed at night.
Zixuan stayed with Qingman for a week. Seeing that there wasn't much room left and there wasn't much he could do, he drove back to Jingnan. Before he left, he left a pair of gold bracelets and a gold necklace for the baby to be safe and auspicious.
Within a week after the baby was born, the Li family (uncles and aunts) of Li Jianmin's family, Qingman's parents' family, the couple's friends, and countless relatives and friends came to visit Li Bowen and Qingman. It was worth mentioning that Yang Qingqing had already returned to China and contacted Xu Da. After learning from Xu Da that Li Rui had given birth, she flew over from Shanghai. Under the guidance of Xu Da, she came to visit the baby and left gifts.
It could be said that this period of time was the most festive and lively day in the life of Li Rui and Qingman, second only to their wedding. However, apart from the festive atmosphere, Qingman felt bored because she had to stay at home and lie in bed during her confinement period. She couldn't go anywhere.
The confinement period could be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty's "Book of Rites", which had a history of more than 2000 years. It was a necessary ritual after giving birth. The main purpose was to let the pregnant woman rest in bed, nurse her body, and promote the recovery of her reproductive organs and muscles as soon as possible. Therefore, Qingman had to spend the rest of her time in bed, other than going to the bathroom. It was easy to imagine how uncomfortable it would be if she stayed in bed for a long time. This was because she was quiet and could sit still. If it were Zixuan, who was impatient, he probably wouldn't be able to sit still and would have turned the house upside down.
