Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1409 Became a Father (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
As soon as the nurse finished speaking, Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, then he quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly asked the nurse:

"What about Zhu Lin? How is she?"

The nurse said to Fang Yan:

"Director Fang, don't worry, everything is fine. It was a natural birth, and both mother and child are safe."

"They're resting inside right now."

Hearing this, Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and then asked:
"Can I go in and take a look now?"

The nurse said to Fang Yan:

"They're still cleaning him up and doing postpartum observation. It's not appropriate for you to go in right now. Please wait a few minutes."

Zhu Xian, the sister-in-law standing to the side, asked:
Why didn't I hear the child crying?

Cui Jingyi said:
"There's still a distance to the delivery room, and there are several doors inside, so it's normal that you can't hear us."

Sofia then asked:
"By the way, is it a boy or a girl? Does it look like my master's wife or my master?"

The nurse knew Sofia was a student of Fang Yan, and that the Russian had probablyn't understood her earlier, so she replied:
"It's a boy, weighing six pounds and eight ounces. He has fair and tender skin, and his little hands are waving very energetically. I think he looks more like Director Fang."

Upon hearing this, Sofia spoke in dialect:

"Master, that's great, it's a junior brother."

Fang Yan smiled and then said to the nurse:

"Go ahead and get busy. Call me when you're ready to go in."

The nurse then realized what was happening, agreed, and quickly went to get the things.

Dean Cui Jingyi patted Fang Yan on the shoulder and said:

"Now you can rest assured, mother and child are safe and sound, and it's a big, healthy boy."

Fang Yan nodded, glanced at the tightly closed delivery room door, and felt a strong urge to go in and take a look.

At this moment, Zhu Xian, the sister-in-law, asked Fang Yan:

"Brother-in-law, you're a father now, how does it feel?"

Fang Yan was taken aback by Zhu Xian's question. He subconsciously touched the back of his head, but his eyes darted around, as if he hadn't fully grasped the situation.
"How does it feel... I can't really say."

When the nurse said "mother and child are safe," his mind went blank for a moment. His first thought was that Zhu Lin hadn't suffered. As for "becoming a father"... it still felt a little unreal.

Cui Jingyi, watching him like this, couldn't help but laugh:
“It’s normal. First-time dads are all like this. At first, you’re confused, but once you see the baby and Zhu Lin, you feel at ease. My husband and I were still asking me, ‘Is this our daughter?’ for half a day after I gave birth. It felt like a dream.”

Zhu Xian laughed along:
"Brother-in-law, your soul has flown to the delivery room."

Fang Yan's thoughts were indeed hit where it hurt. Having lived two lives and becoming a father for the first time, he was now thinking of seeing Zhu Lin first and then his own child.

Right now, his mind was racing with all sorts of information about postpartum care and related symptoms, making him very worried about whether Zhu Lin and the baby might be in any danger.

Although she knew her mother was inside and that Zhu Lin was in good health and would most likely be fine, she still couldn't help but worry.

Just then, Director Hu from this department arrived. He had been seeing patients when he heard the nurse's report of the situation. He quickly finished seeing his patients, handed the rest over to other doctors, and rushed over without stopping.

Seeing that the hospital director and Fang Yan were waiting outside the delivery room, she quickly came over and asked:
"How's it going now?"

When everyone saw it was Director Hu, they quickly greeted him, and Fang Yan explained:

"The baby has already been born, and we are currently doing postpartum care and cleaning."

"So fast?" Director Hu was also surprised. He had only heard the news a short time ago, and the child was already out. The speed was too fast.

"The child is sensible and didn't let her mother suffer," said Dean Cui Jingyi to Director Hu.

Just as Director Hu was about to ask a few more questions about the baby's condition, the delivery room door clicked open, and the nurse from before quickly walked out, her gaze falling directly on Fang Yan:

"Director Fang, the cleaning and observation inside are all done. Director He said you can go in now. Remember to be quiet." Fang Yan stood up almost the instant the nurse finished speaking. His eyes, which had been somewhat dazed, instantly brightened. He whispered to the nurse to confirm:

"Can I go in alone? Is the child inside too?"

“Yes, you can go in alone. The child is right next to Ms. Zhu Lin; you’ll see him as soon as you go in.” The nurse smiled and nodded, stepping aside to make way for the doorway.

Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and then said to Cui Jingyi, Director Hu, and Zhu Xian:
"Then I'll go in first."

Once the others nodded, he immediately followed the nurse inside.

I was here just a few days ago, when Old Hu's wife was giving birth. Now that I'm back, my mindset and feelings are completely different.

The corridor was unusually quiet, with only the soft beeping of the monitor. Fang Yan could also hear the occasional faint whimpering of a baby.

He wasn't even sure if it was his imagination.

When the nurse led him to the delivery room, his mother, He Huiru, was already waiting for him there.

"Come on, change your clothes!" The old woman handed Fang Yan a set of doctor's clothes and hat.

Quickly switch to the correct dialect.

Then I followed my mother into the delivery room.

Once inside, his gaze immediately fell on the hospital bed.

My wife was lying on her side, her face still a little pale. Her bangs were damp with sweat and clung to her skin. Her long eyelashes drooped quietly, and her breathing was even. She was clearly exhausted.

In the crib beside her, the little one, wrapped in a cream-colored swaddle, was curled up, his head slightly tilted, his eyes tightly closed, and his little mouth occasionally pursed, as if he were having a sweet dream.

Fang Yan walked quietly to the bedside, first reaching out to gently touch the back of Zhu Lin's hand. It was slightly cool to the touch, and he felt a pang of anxiety, quickly trying to take off his coat.

When my mother came up and saw it, she said:
"Don't move! Don't panic!"

Zhu Lin was woken up and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw that it was Fang Yan, he immediately said, "You've come."

"Yes, I'm here." Fang Yan quickly bent down, her voice even softer than before, and asked:
"How are you feeling? Does it hurt? Is anything bothering you? Are you feeling a bit cold right now?"

"It's okay, not cold, just a little tiring." Zhu Lin smiled and glanced at the crib. "Look at the baby, Mom and the nurse both said he looks like you."

Fang Yan followed her gaze to the crib, tiptoed over, squatted down, and carefully touched the little one's tiny hand wrapped in swaddling clothes.

The little hand was soft, with pink fingertips. As soon as he touched it, the little one seemed to sense it and gently grasped his fingers. The force was not strong, but it made Fang Yan's heart melt instantly.

“Look at this little guy’s fair and tender face, especially his little eyebrows, he looks just like you when you were a child,” Mother He Huiru said to Fang Yan.

After saying that, he added:

"But his mouth looks like Linlin's too, sons resemble their mothers..."

“It’s good to be like Mom!” Fang Yan said.

"What are you saying? Wouldn't it be better if a boy looked like you?" Zhu Lin was inexplicably amused by the dialect.

"She looks just like Mom, so cute." Fang Yan smiled as she stood up, walked back to the bedside, took Zhu Lin's hand, and gently squeezed it.

After saying that, he looked at the child and then at his wife, still feeling somewhat dazed; he had really become a father…

At this moment, Zhu Lin reminded him:

"By the way, let's hurry up and come up with a name!"
