Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Zhou Zhigang, being a veteran worker with many years of experience, understood Zhou Bingkun's meaning after listening.

"Dad, Bingkun, dinner's ready."

Upon hearing Zheng Juan's voice, Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Zhigang came out of the study.

At the dinner table, Zhou Zhigang was still talking about work with Zhou Bingkun, which made Li Suhua very dissatisfied.

She had thought that after her husband retired, he would be able to spend more time with her.

The results of it?

I only spent two or three months with them before I got impatient.

After Zhou Bingkun found him a job, he was busy with work all day long, even when he was at home.

The only good thing is that ever since Zhou Zhi started working, no matter what she says to him, he never talks back, as if he has lost his temper.

He would often try to please her, asking her to bring more food to the construction site.

After a few months, she gradually got used to it.

That's good, at least her husband can come home to sleep every day, and she can see him every day.

Li Suhua glared at Zhou Zhigang: "Speak less while eating. Say what you have to say after you finish eating!"

Zhou Zhigang shrank back and winked at Zhou Bingkun.

However, Zhou Bingkun did not look at him at this moment, but stared at his wife with a puzzled look: "Juan'er, give me your hand."

Zheng Juan was somewhat surprised by Zhou Bingkun's gaze. Hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

However, while speaking, Zheng Juan still reached out her hand to Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingkun put down his chopsticks and bowl, placed Zheng Juan's hand in his palm with one hand, and began to take her pulse with the other.

Zhou Bingkun's actions drew the attention of everyone at the table.

Feng Yue couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, is Aunt sick?"

They are no strangers to pulse diagnosis.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever they were sick, it was Zhou Bingkun who would take their pulse.

So when they saw Zhou Bingkun taking Zheng Juan's pulse, they assumed that Zheng Juan was sick.

Zhou Bingkun did not answer Feng Yue, but after taking her pulse for a while, his brows relaxed.

Zheng Juan asked nervously, "Bingkun, am I sick?"

“Don’t worry, you’re not sick, you’re pregnant,” Zhou Bingkun said to Zheng Juan with a smile.

"Ah?" Zheng Juan exclaimed in surprise.

This was even more surprising than when she found out she was sick.

Hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Zhou Zhigang and the others were stunned.

However, after the initial shock, the three children quickly showed expressions of delight.

"Uncle, you said Auntie is pregnant?" Feng Yue asked Zhou Bingkun excitedly.

Zhou Bingkun nodded: "Yes, your aunt is indeed pregnant."

Upon receiving Zhou Bingkun's affirmative answer, Feng Yue and the other two were extremely excited.

Zhou Xiangdong exclaimed excitedly, "Great! I'm going to have a younger brother or sister! I'm finally not the youngest in the family anymore!"

Having been the youngest for so many years, Zhou Xiangdong was even more excited than Zhou Boyan and Feng Yue at this moment.

Mom is pregnant, which means he will soon have a younger brother or sister, and he will no longer be the youngest.

After Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua realized what was happening, they were both overjoyed.

However, while Li Suhua was pleasantly surprised, she also asked with some nervousness, "Bingkun, Juan'er is already thirty-seven this year. Will getting pregnant now have any impact on her health?"

Hearing Li Suhua ask this question, Zheng Juan stared at Zhou Bingkun with a nervous expression.

Knowing she was pregnant, her feelings were the most complicated.

I'm certainly happy, but I also have my share of worries.

I'm 37 years old now, which makes me a definitely advanced maternal age mother.

Seeing Li Suhua and Zheng Juan looking nervous, Zhou Bingkun smiled and said, "Mom, it's alright. I know Juan'er's health best. She's in great health! Most women in their thirties aren't as healthy as her."

Zhou Bingkun has done a lot of work to improve Zheng Juan's health over the years.

This pregnancy was indeed unexpected, as they had no plans to have a child at all.

But despite the unexpected turn of events, knowing that Zheng Juan was pregnant filled him with boundless joy.

Upon learning that Zheng Juan was alright, Zhou Zhigang burst into laughter: "Great! Our Zhou family is about to have a new member!"

After dinner, Zhou Bingkun excitedly told the chat group that he was going to be a father again.

Upon hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, the chatter naturally offered their congratulations.

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Bingkun, my child hasn't even been born yet, and your wife is already pregnant with your third. I really can't keep up with you at all!"

Zhou Bingkun: "Hehe gif! Judging by the time, your child should be due soon!"

Group admin Xiao Shan: "Yes, soon! The baby should be born in about a month!"

Chapter 379, Waiting Outside the Delivery Room! (Please Subscribe!)

The world of courtyard houses, the city of Beijing.

It was June of 1968, and Ding Qiunan was more than eight months pregnant.

Ding Qiunan has already requested maternity leave from the factory and is going home to prepare for childbirth.

Xiao Shan would finish his tasks early every day and then come back to be with his wife.

At this moment, Xiao Shan was helping the heavily pregnant Ding Qiunan take a walk in the yard while chatting with everyone in the chat group.

Seeing Zhou Bingkun excitedly announce in the chat that his wife was pregnant again, Xiao Shan could understand his feelings.

After all, this is exactly what happened when I announced my wife's pregnancy in the chat group.

Looking at his wife's big belly, Xiao Shan wondered whether he should send her for a C-section.

However, Xiao Shan was worried that with today's technology, cesarean sections were not as advanced as in later generations, and it would be bad if there were any sequelae.

"Honey, what are you thinking about?" Ding Qiunan asked curiously, noticing Xiao Shan's slightly furrowed brows.

Xiao Shan looked at Ding Qiunan and told her about the cesarean section he had just been considering.

After listening to Xiao Shan's concerns, Ding Qiunan thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better not to have a C-section! My colleagues at the hospital said that babies born vaginally are generally stronger than those born via C-section!"

“But your belly is so big now. If you don’t have a C-section, I’m worried you’ll be in a lot of pain!” Xiao Shan whispered. “When Brother Zhu’s wife gave birth to He Duo, we were all outside the delivery room. You heard her screams!”

Ding Qiunan's face paled, but she still said firmly, "If Sister-in-law Caijuan could pull through, I believe I can too!"

Just then, Ding Qiunan's mother, Feng Chunlian, stood at the door and called the two people who were taking a walk in the yard to come back for dinner.

Since Ding Qiunan became pregnant, Feng Chunlian has been coming to Xiaoshan's home every few days to help take care of Ding Qiunan.

Ding Qiunan's pregnancy was very stable this time, and the little one in her belly didn't want to come out even when the due date arrived.

The doctor said that Ding Qiunan's baby was in the correct position, and that a vaginal delivery should not be a problem.

So on her due date, Ding Qiunan checked into the steel mill's staff hospital to await delivery.

Two days passed, but the baby in her belly showed no signs of coming out.

Xiao Shan rushed to the staff hospital as soon as he got off work.

In the ward, Feng Chunlian and Deng Yiping, Xiaoshan's teacher's wife, were sitting on either side of Ding Qiunan's bed, chatting with her.

"I don't feel anything yet..." Ding Qiunan touched her stomach and ate a segment of orange, somewhat embarrassed.

For the past few days, He Yuzhu has been bringing meals from the hospital, and they've been making do with eating in the ward.

Ding Qiunan felt a little embarrassed seeing Feng Chunlian and Deng Yiping accompanying her around the clock.

"Honey, why don't you go home after dinner?" Ding Qiunan glanced up at Xiao Shan. "You have to go to work tomorrow..."

Xiao Shan shook his head; he had been sleeping in the hospital for the past two days.

After all, the doctor said that his wife could go into labor at any time.

He didn't want to miss the birth of his child on his first time becoming a father.

Just as Ding Qiunan was about to say something, she suddenly frowned: "It seems like I'm having contractions..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Chunlian quickly went out to call the doctor.

Xiao Shan sat down on the hospital bed with an excited expression, holding Ding Qiunan's hand: "How are you feeling? Does it hurt?"

Ding Qiunan frowned and nodded: "It's alright, I can still bear it!"

The doctor from the hospital arrived quickly.

After checking Ding Qiunan's body by lifting the blanket, he said to Xiao Shan and his wife, "She's dilated to two centimeters. She can be taken to the delivery room in a little while."

Upon hearing this, both Feng Chunlian and Deng Yiping showed excited expressions.

"Xiaoshan, you stay here and keep watch. I'll go back and call Lao Ding!" Feng Chunlian quickly got up and said to Xiaoshan.

After all, Ding Qiunan's father, Ding Dade, had already said that if Ding Qiunan started having sex, he would have to wake him up no matter how late it was.

Xiao Shan smiled and stopped Feng Chunlian, "Mom, you sit down. I'll go out and call someone to help inform Dad."

He was worried that his mother-in-law might get too excited and trip and fall on the way, which would be bad.

Xiao Shan left the ward and went to the factory gate. He handed out two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes to the two security guards at the gate and asked them to help inform his father-in-law and He Yuzhu.

The reason for notifying He Yuzhu was that Xiao Shan wanted He Yuzhu to bring over dinner early so that Ding Qiunan could have a bite.

"Director Xiao, congratulations! We'll have to keep this cigarette as a keepsake, to share in your good fortune." The two security guards took the cigarettes and said to Xiao Shan with smiles.

Even if Xiao Shan hadn't offered them cigarettes, they would still have been happy to do things for him.

After all, Xiao Shan was not only an eighth-level worker and deputy workshop director in the welding workshop, but also someone that Director Li valued.

But Xiao Shan knew how to get along with people, so they respected him even more.

Xiao Shan returned to the ward and saw that Ding Qiunan's forehead was slightly sweaty, which made him very nervous.

The contractions came in waves, and Ding Qiunan also experienced waves of pain.

Xiao Shan felt as if his heart was in his throat.

When Ding Dade arrived at the hospital, He Yuzhu and his wife also arrived with lunchboxes.

He Yuzhu told Ding Qiunan to quickly eat a couple of bites so she would have the strength to give birth when she got on the delivery bed.

Li Caijuan thoughtfully prepared a thermos of hot goat milk for Ding Qiunan.

Ding Qiunan was being taken care of perfectly, and Xiao Shan couldn't get involved at all, so he could only sit there anxiously.

After Ding Qiunan ate a few bites to replenish her strength, the doctor came to examine her again.

Upon discovering that Ding Qiunan was already five centimeters dilated, they instructed the nurses to move her into the delivery room.

In this day and age, family members are not allowed to accompany a woman during childbirth.

So Xiao Shan and the others were kept outside the delivery room.

Everyone sat in a row outside the delivery room, waiting for good news to come from inside.

Xiao Shan, listening to Ding Qiunan's muffled groans from outside, couldn't sit still any longer.

He understood that his wife's reaction meant she was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it anymore.

After all, Ding Qiunan has always been an exceptionally strong person. Even if she gets bumped or bruised and bleeds, she never utters a sound.

Even now that she's giving birth, she's suppressing her screams to avoid screaming too loudly.

“Every woman has to go through this, don’t be too nervous.” Feng Chunlian saw that Xiao Shan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and patted Xiao Shan’s hand kindly. “Don’t worry, Qiu Nan is a lucky person, she will be fine.”

Ding Dade and Deng Yiping also noticed Xiao Shan's nervousness and quickly spoke to comfort him.
