Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 222 Gu Jianing is about to give birth!

"Okay, then I'll go ahead of time."

Whether it was a mother's heart or her daughter's, Yao Chunhua became increasingly restless as Gu Jianing's due date approached.

She was always afraid that Ningning would give birth prematurely, and since she was far away in her hometown, she couldn't help.

She knew that Sheng Zexi was there, and so was Grandma Sang.

But no matter who's around, no one can feel as at ease as she is.

So, she has indeed been quite anxious these past two days.

Unexpectedly, Yang Manman and the others saw through it and even gave such a suggestion.

Yao Chunhua wasn't one to be pretentious, and seeing that Yang Manman was doing well, she agreed.

"Then go pack your luggage, Mother. I'll take you to the train station tomorrow," Gu Yunting said.

"Oh, then don't we need to buy tickets first?" Yao Chunhua asked.

Gu Yunting and Yang Manman exchanged a glance and said with a smile, "Mom, I've booked your train ticket today. It's a sleeper ticket for tomorrow morning."

Yao Chunhua suddenly realized that the couple had already made their decision and were certain that she would agree.

"You guys," Yao Chunhua said with a smile, playfully scolding them.

That evening, while Yao Chunhua was packing her luggage, Old Man Gu helped her pack as well. As he packed, his eyes welled up with tears.

"Old man, why are you crying?" Yao Chunhua was startled.

"I didn't cry." Old Man Gu touched the corner of his eye, but his voice sounded inexplicably aggrieved. "I just envy you being able to go to the Northwest Military Region to see your daughter."

Old Man Gu: I also want to see my daughter.

Yao Chunhua sighed, understanding her desire to see her daughter.

She patted her husband on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you look at yours too."

Old Man Gu: How can that be the same?

Regardless of whether they are the same or not, Old Man Gu is not going along.

Putting aside the fact that Huaihua Village needs him as the village chief, Gu Jianing's home in the Northwest Military Region can't accommodate so many people either.

Moreover, it's more appropriate for the biological mother to take care of her daughter during her postpartum period; it just feels strange for the biological father to do it.

"When you arrive, remember to tell your daughter that I miss her."

"Okay, I know."

"You told our daughter to take good care of herself. Even though she's had a child, she's the most important person to her..."

Although Old Man Gu also adored his grandson, he couldn't compare to his daughter.

It can be said that their daughter, Gu Jianing, is the apple of their eye.

"Sigh, we shouldn't have let her marry so far away, and send her to the Northwest to accompany the army. It must have been so hard for her."

"Then what do you want to do? She's been married for a year now, and her grandson is about to be born."

Old Man Gu: ...

"Besides, Ah Xi is a good person, and his maternal grandparents are also good to our Ningning. I think our Ningning is doing just fine as she is now. You don't know how many people outside envy our Ningning."

“Hey, I just think that if Ningning marries someone closer to home, we and her three brothers can take care of her if anything happens. If Ningning is bullied, we can go directly to her home to seek justice.”

As Yao Chunhua folded clothes, she replied with a smile, "It's possible now. Whenever Ningning is bullied, we'll go to her door, no matter where she is in the Northwest or even across a country, to seek justice for her."

Old Man Gu suddenly realized, "That's true."

In fact, they did.

In their past life, after Gu Jianing was faked as missing by Wen Zhuqing, they searched for her all over the country. Later, when they heard news of her, they traveled over mountains and rivers to find her.

Wen Zhuqing also valued the care and affection the elderly couple had for Gu Jianing. Knowing that they would definitely go if there was news about Gu Jianing, she arranged for me to be in a car accident.

Yao Chunhua and Old Man Gu truly love their daughter.

That evening, as his wife tidied up, Old Man Gu kept giving her a lot of advice and instructions.

Of course, they also took quite a few things that Gu Jianing liked.

The next day, Yao Chunhua, carrying large and small bags, boarded the train bound for the Northwest Military Region...
-
Meanwhile, Gu Jianing was unaware that her mother had already boarded the train bound for the Northwest Military Region.

These past two days, Gu Jianing has felt that something is strange about her.

Specifically, in terms of food, they don't have much of an appetite.

It wasn't until she tasted the pickled cabbage her mother had sent her that she realized she missed the taste of her mother's cooking.

Gu Jianing suddenly realized that, although she hadn't said anything, she hadn't noticed it herself these past few days.

But her body showed it first.

On the eve of her delivery, she missed her mother and her family.

"Ningning, don't worry, your mother-in-law promised she would come, and she will." Sheng Zexi hugged Gu Jianing and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Gu Jianing leaned against him and gave a muffled "hmm".

Perhaps because she missed her family too much, Gu Jianing couldn't sleep that night.

I didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

But he didn't sleep for long.

Just as dawn was breaking, Gu Jianing was awakened by waves of abdominal pain.

She couldn't help but let out a groan, which immediately startled Sheng Zexi, who had just opened his eyes and was about to get out of bed.

"Ning Ning, what's wrong?"

"I... I think I'm about to give birth." The moment Gu Jianing woke up, the system's voice reminded her in her mind that she was about to give birth.

"She's about to give birth?" Sheng Zexi exclaimed in disbelief.

His voice startled Grandma Sang, who had also gotten up and was preparing to make breakfast.

Grandma Sang rushed to their door, "What happened?"

Sheng Zexi hurriedly opened the door, "Grandma, Ningning is probably about to give birth."

"Is she going into labor? Shall we go to the hospital now?"

Because she had anticipated this, Grandma Sang wasn't as flustered as Sheng Zexi, the soon-to-be father.

So the two decided to take Gu Jianing to the hospital. As for the things needed for childbirth, they had prepared them long ago.

Gu Jianing, however, refused, saying, "No rush. I reckon it'll be a while before I give birth. How about we eat something first?"

“That’s right. I’ll go make Ning a bowl of noodles now. She’ll need to eat to have the strength to give birth.” With that, Grandma Sang headed to the kitchen.

He instructed Sheng Zexi to help Gu Jianing walk around the room first, so that she could have a proper delivery later.

Just then, there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard.

"Oh dear, who could be coming at this hour?" Grandma Sang, who was on her way to the kitchen, heard this and quickened her pace to open the door first.

When she opened the door and saw people standing there with large and small bags, Grandma Sang was immediately taken aback.

It was the visitor's first words, "mother-in-law," that brought Grandma Sang back to her senses.

"Oh my, it's my mother-in-law!" Grandma Sang exclaimed with delight after realizing what was happening. "Quick, quick, my mother-in-law, come in quickly."
