Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 82 Secretly Wiping Tears
After He Yuzhu came out of the steel rolling mill, he found a tricycle on the road and returned to the courtyard together. He entered the yard and, together with an old lady, helped Chen Miaoyun out. Then they went to the hospital together.

After everyone arrived at the hospital, He Yuzhu and others went to see Doctor Wang. However, halfway through the journey, Chen Miaoyun suddenly cried out that her stomach hurt and she felt uncomfortable. She even had no strength to walk.

Immediately, an experienced lady looked at him and said quickly, "Quick, go and call Doctor Wang over."

He Yuzhu did not dare to be careless at this time. He asked an old lady to help him support himself, and he ran to Doctor Wang.

After a while, He Yuzhu brought Dr. Wang to the hospital corridor, panting.

From a distance, Doctor Wang's expression changed when he saw Chen Miaoyun's appearance. When he got closer, Doctor Wang saw it: "Comrade, your wife is about to give birth. Hurry up, send someone to the delivery room!"

As she spoke, she waved her hand and asked the nurse to notify people.

……

After Chen Miaoyun was pushed into the delivery room by everyone, He Yuzhu and the aunt stayed outside.

Although he was mentally prepared, when it was really his wife's turn to give birth with him and her separated by a door, He Yuzhu could no longer sit still.

He kept pacing back and forth at the door of the delivery room. Because the soundproofing of delivery rooms in that era was not very good, he could even hear some of Chen Miaoyun's painful noises inside.

He Yuzhu always felt uneasy about this.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the sounds in the delivery room were still intermittent, and He Yuzhu's heart was beating fast.

As for the old lady, she was mumbling something, probably praying or something.

……

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a baby cried in the delivery room. He Yuzhu and the aunt outside the delivery room froze in their tracks.

The auntie suddenly looked happy.

gave birth?

He Yuzhu, who had been feeling anxious, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked quickly to the door of the delivery room, pressed against the door, and tried to listen to the noise inside. After a while, there was another baby crying.

twin!
Doctor Wang had mentioned this when he examined him, so He Yuzhu was mentally prepared.

However, He Yuzhu heard the doctor inside continue: "There is one more, you try harder, try harder."

"There is still one?"

He Yuzhu didn't react at first.

But with the doctor's constant encouraging voice inside, He Yuzhu finally came to his senses.

If that's the case, then my wife is giving birth to triplets?

Immediately, his eyes were filled with excitement and complexity!

After all, this was his first time as a father in the true sense. With three children coming at once, he didn't know if he could take good care of them.

As I was lost in thought, the sound of the last baby crying finally rang out in the delivery room. This third baby was also delivered successfully!
Immediately, cheers were heard in the delivery room.

Then the door of the delivery room was opened.

The first person to come out was Doctor Wang. However, compared to before the operation, Doctor Wang now looked obviously tired.

However, after seeing He Yuzhu waiting outside, Doctor Wang still smiled and said, "Comrade, everything went well. You are very lucky. It's triplets, two boys and one girl. You can go in and take a look now."

Upon hearing the news, He Yuzhu's head suddenly buzzed.

Or two men and one woman?
Now, doesn't it mean that I have both a son and a daughter at once?

The lady behind him also pulled the pillar to make him come back to his senses.

He Yuzhu immediately nodded and thanked Dr. Wang: "Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Wang. Thank you so much!"

At this time, the crying of the baby in the delivery room sounded again, which made He Yuzhu's heart tremble, and he walked in impatiently.

The first thing he saw was Chen Miaoyun lying on the operating table, her face as pale as paper. Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu felt a pain in his heart. He hurried to the side of the operating table and held her hand: "Wife, you have worked hard." His words were sincere and full of emotion.

After hearing this, Chen Miaoyun smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, bring our child over to me so I can see him."

"Hey, that's good."

He Yuzhu stood up after hearing this, only to see an old lady standing beside them, looking at the three children with joy on her face. She even couldn't help but picked up one of them, rocking him or her, and looked very fond of him or her.

The nurse handed the three children to He Yuzhu and said, "Comrade, these are your three children. The eldest son weighs 2.5 jin (6.7 ounces), the second son weighs 1.5 jin (6.4 ounces), and the youngest daughter weighs 1.5 jin (5.7 ounces). All three children are in good health. They must have had good nutrition during their pregnancies."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled widely.

Of course, He Yuzhu provided his wife with eggs, flour, etc. in public, not to mention that he sometimes cooked a small meal for her in secret, and even ate meat. In addition, the whole family took good care of Chen Miaoyun. In that era, ordinary families did not have the conditions to do so.

"Comrades, you have worked hard, thank you for delivering my wife." He Yuzhu thanked the nurses. Then, he took the three children to Chen Miaoyun in turn, and then asked the nurse to take the babies to the resettlement house. This is the procedure for newborns. Of course, the aunt followed.

As for He Yuzhu, he took Chen Miaoyun to a double bed. He Yuzhu paid extra for this.

……

After a short rest, it was soon noon. There was a cafeteria in the hospital, and He Yuzhu went to the cafeteria to buy some porridge, potatoes, cabbage, etc. The food in the hospital was very light and suitable for patients.

The group finished their lunch in this way.

In the evening, an old man also came to the hospital, took a look at Chen Miaoyun and the three children, and congratulated Zhuzi again.

Today, my wife gave birth. An old lady followed me around and helped a lot. He Yuzhu remembered it all.

At about ten o'clock, He Yuzhu asked the old man and old woman who were planning to accompany them to go back and rest early. After all, there were nurses in the hospital and he was here to take care of them.

"Uncle, you and Auntie can go back first. I may need to trouble you to talk to the canteen director for me tomorrow. I will continue to take leave to take care of my wife."

The factory was quite humane in the special situation of the family members of the workers giving birth, and usually approved the leave. In this regard, Yi Zhonghai and his wife also gave Zhuzi some instructions, and then they went back.

So, He Yuzhu stayed in the hospital to take care of Chen Miaoyun. The three children are still in the baby room, with nurses watching over them at all times.

Even so, He Yuzhu still keeps checking every few hours.

Early the next morning.

He Yuzhu was still lying on the hospital bed with his eyes half closed when he heard the voice of an old lady outside the ward.

Zhuzi stood up and went to open the door, but saw an old lady with a lunch box that smelled of chicken soup.

At the same time, behind the aunt were two girls, He Yushui and Chen Miaozhi.

As soon as the two girls entered the room, they couldn't wait to run to Chen Miaoyun.

"Sister/sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Seeing the two little girls caring about Chen Miaoyun, He Yuzhu smiled slightly: "You still care about others."

Auntie was standing nearby, but she didn't forget, "Come on, Zhuzi, this is the chicken soup Auntie made early in the morning. Let Miaoyun drink it while it's hot to replenish her body."

As soon as the lid was opened, the rich aroma of the chicken soup was immediately irresistible and filled the entire ward, making the two little girls, Yu Shui and Miao Zhi, drool over it.

However, they both knew that this was for Chen Miaoyun's body to nourish her. Even though they kept swallowing saliva, they did not clamor for chicken soup.

Chen Miaoyun slept very soundly last night. Of course, this was also inseparable from He Yuzhu's careful care. She hadn't eaten for more than ten hours, and when she smelled the rich aroma of chicken soup, her appetite suddenly opened up. After a while, she finished all the big box of chicken soup that the aunt brought.

An old lady was watching from the side and was so happy.

"Okay, okay. Looking at Miaoyun, she's recovering really well. I think she'll be able to be discharged from the hospital soon."

In response, Chen Miaoyun said, "Auntie, I actually feel like I can be discharged from the hospital now. I'm not feeling any discomfort. Besides, you and Zhuzi are so tired of taking care of me like this."

"This won't work."

He Yuzhu said quickly: "Wife, you just gave birth, you should stay in the hospital for a few more days. If there is any problem, the doctors can solve it in time. And our child also needs to stay in the hospital for a few more days, right?"

He Yuzhu's words convinced Chen Miaoyun.

So everyone agreed to stay in the hospital for two more days to observe the situation, and be discharged if there is no problem.

After saying this, the auntie patted Zhuzi on the shoulder and said, "Alright, Zhuzi, you've been guarding here for a whole day and night. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. You must have slept well last night. Go back and have a rest. I'll keep an eye on you here."

He Yuzhu saw this and didn't try to stay up. After all, he didn't dare to sleep soundly last night, and he would get up soon to check on his wife, or go to the baby room to look after the three children.

"Okay, Auntie, I'll leave this to you. Thank you for your help."

……

Courtyard No. 95, Nanluogu Lane.

When He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard, all the neighbors he met came over to congratulate him.

After all, everyone saw Chen Miaoyun being sent to the hospital. And after the uncle's family came back yesterday, the news would naturally spread in the hospital.

"Congratulations, Zhuzi, you gave birth to triplets at once."

"Yes, you will enjoy happiness in the future."

"Zhu Zi, your child..."

After some people congratulated him, they couldn't help asking some other questions. He Yuzhu had been busy all day and night, and was exhausted. He answered casually and went back to the house.

But at this time, the deaf old lady was also sitting in the living room.

He Yuzhu gave a brief explanation, and the old lady immediately told him to go to bed and have a good rest.

He slept from morning till seven in the afternoon. He woke up in the middle of the night and ran into an old man who was cooking in the yard and preparing to take someone to the hospital. He Yuzhu was going to go with him, but the old man told him to rest at home, saying that he and his aunt were enough.

So He Yuzhu continued to lie on the bed.

But somehow, this time, he couldn't fall asleep. After tossing and turning, and making sure he wasn't sleepy, He Yuzhu simply got up and took out two books to read at home.

As for this compound, there was also someone who couldn't sleep today, and that was Qin Huairu in the backyard.

In the backyard of Xu's house, after dinner, Xiaodang and Huaihua had already gone to bed in a side room. Qin Huairu was sitting by the bed, but she had no intention of sleeping at all. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief from time to time. After marrying Xu Damao, Qin Huairu's life got better visibly, and she no longer had to worry about her livelihood.

However, because she had been married for several months and there was no sign of pregnancy, Xu Damao's family was a little unhappy.

After all, Xu's father is a smart man, as can be seen from the fact that he did not allow Qin Huairu to get an IUD. After a few months of normal marriage, there was still no movement, and Xu's family was a little suspicious, wondering if Qin Huairu had secretly gotten an IUD behind their backs.

So, Xu Damao took Qin Huairu to the hospital for a checkup. Qin Huairu did not do anything tricky this time because of what Xu's father said. She was not afraid to prove her innocence and followed Xu Damao to the hospital for a checkup.

She had already given birth to three children, so her fertility was naturally not a problem. But after learning the result, Xu Damao became even more confused.

So what's going on?
Sha Zhu got pregnant just a few months after getting married, so how come I haven't gotten pregnant for several months after getting married? Qin Huairu was originally dissatisfied with Xu Damao's family for suspecting her and asking her to check. Seeing Xu Damao still complaining, she couldn't help but refute a few words, and the two of them got angry and started fighting. This was also the first time that the two of them had a fight in the yard, and later the three uncles came to mediate.

However, as the days passed, Qin Huairu's belly showed no movement, and Xu's father and mother became more and more dissatisfied.

After all, the reason they agreed to let their son marry a widow was, firstly, there was no other way as they had been caught, and secondly, they also thought that as long as Qin Huairu could give birth to a child of the Xu family, that would be something they could barely accept.

But who knew that the daughter-in-law had no intention of laying eggs for such a long time. They never thought that this would be a problem for their son, and their dissatisfaction with Qin Huairu became more and more obvious.

Qin Huairu could certainly feel this attitude, but who could she blame for not having children?

Qin Huairu is not a stupid woman. After several quarrels, she began to reflect on herself.

Now I haven't gotten pregnant for several months, what's the problem? First of all, there is definitely nothing wrong with me. Whether it's the hospital examination or the three children my family has already given birth to, it can prove that there is definitely nothing wrong with Qin Huairu. If that's the case, then the problem can only be with Xu Damao.
