Chapter 395 My Sister - Li Gu Shengzi
Chapter 395 My Sister - Li Gu Shengzi
The pain from the contractions made Li Gu grit his teeth, clench his fists, and stare at his legs.
Zhou Leng and Sun Yu were waiting anxiously outside the delivery room.
When you open all your fingers to prepare for delivery, you cannot shout out loud, as shouting will make you lose your energy. You need to gather your strength and exert force according to the strength of the contractions.
"That's great. You're really good at exerting force."
The doctor's encouragement boosted Li Gu's spirits and she felt victory was in sight.
"what..."
"Don't shout, you'll lose your energy if you shout. Don't shout, hold it in and use your strength."
Li Gu felt like a long time had passed. Amid the doctor's encouragement, she asked, "Is the head out yet?"
"Almost there, almost there, I can see the hair."
Li Gu felt dizzy. Why did he see the hair just now?
After half an hour.
"Is the head out yet?"
"It's almost there, I can already touch my hair, come on!"
Li Gu felt devastated when he heard this.
Twenty minutes later.
"No, you have to do an episiotomy, otherwise it will tear."
"Ah, episiotomy!"
Because he had an epidural on his lower back, he didn't feel any pain from the episiotomy. Li Gu only felt something slippery being discharged, and then his body felt relaxed.
The sound of a child crying was heard.
"A boy."
The child was placed in Li Gu's arms. The baby cried anxiously. The doctors were waiting for the placenta to be expelled. The weight on her body felt strange and familiar. Li Gu thought, is this my child? I actually gave birth to a child!
The child was pushed out, and only the doctor, nurse and Li Gu were left in the independent delivery room.
"Give me anesthesia for the stitches."
"Well, don't worry."
Li Gu felt the threading of the needle but there was no pain, only shame.
An hour later, Li Gu did not fall asleep due to exhaustion, but waited to return to the ward to see the baby again.
Li Gu named the child himself, Sun Jingyuan.
Everything went smoothly, mother and child were safe and discharged from the hospital.
During the confinement period, Sun Dashan and Bai Xiaohua came to see the child. When they looked at the child, they swallowed back the words they were about to say.
The old couple planned to sell the big house they lived in, return the money to Li Gu, and keep the rest of the money for themselves. They were old and didn't have a penny in their hands. They wanted to buy a small old house nearby. It would be good for their son to live here. They already regarded this house as their future grandson's.
Sun Yu saw that his parents were in a dilemma and seemed to have something to say, but he pretended not to notice. Now he gave them living expenses every month, so they didn't have to worry about food and clothing. The only thing they were worried about was their sister. He thought that his parents shouldn't have too much money, otherwise they would be cheated out of it sooner or later. The house was in his and Li Gu's name, and the old couple couldn't sell it even if they were cheated.
Sun Yu drove his parents back home, leaving only the siblings and the confinement nanny in the room.
The sunlight shone through the window onto the wall, turning the dust into mottled shadows. The baby was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, his little arms in a surrender position and his legs spread straight apart.
Li Gu couldn't help but stretch out her hand to feel the baby's breath. The gentle warmth sprayed on her fingertips. She lay down with peace of mind. Perhaps it was because she was too nervous, or perhaps it was because the child's breathing was silent, she was always worried that the child would die.
"Sister, you take a nap. I'll watch from afar."
Li Gu lay down with a smile but couldn't fall asleep. She turned her head to look at her son. The unfamiliar feeling of being a mother always made her inexplicably excited.
"Brother, you are the uncle now, and I am the mother now."
The baby kicked his legs at the sound, and the two of them fell silent.
Zhou Leng nodded silently. The burning mark deep in her soul made her feel a little uncomfortable, but the strong happiness and gratitude there moved her. Li Cheng's world was too simple. His sister was all he cared about. Now that he saw his sister's smile, his blood-related nephew, and the ordinary happiness of being happy every day, he felt satisfied.
Such happiness and warmth healed the pain. Li Cheng had no regrets. After a while, the mark returned to normal.
"Brother, why are you so still? You are far away asleep. You don't need to be so nervous."
"Ah."
The silence of the soul mark brought Zhou Leng back to his senses.
The brother and sister just smiled at the sleeping baby, an unconscious smile of happiness.
Li Gu did a great job during her confinement. She had a confinement nanny to take care of her and the child, and her brother was with them every day. If she had not experienced it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that her brother, who had a rough life and needed care, could be like this now.
Babies during the confinement period need to be fed almost every two hours. Li Gu simply stops breastfeeding because she has little milk. When the baby wakes up hungry, Zhou Leng gets up to make milk. Then the confinement nanny holds the baby and coaxes him to sleep, and he will stay by his side while she does so.
Sun Yu went back to work after using up her half-month maternity leave. Zhou Leng had previously asked Lu Liang to introduce a nanny to his home. In fact, he had a clear purpose in finding Lu Liang, which was to ask him to find a reliable nanny.
Huang Xiaobing, a plain-looking girl who cooks the best and is the most hardworking in the team, got the job of a nanny and earns two salaries based on her own ability.
One day, Li Gu was playing with the baby in the nanny's arms. She looked at the busy Zhou Leng and said:
"Brother, I found that you have become smarter. You have learned a lot of things since I gave birth to my child. You and Sister Wang learned to make milk powder after five times. You are amazing!"
Sister Wang held back her smile and tried to coax the child without paying any attention.
"I tried very hard, sister, but I can't cook as well as Xiaobing, and I can't soothe children as well as Sister Wang, but I am the best at making milk powder."
“My brother is the second best in the world.”
"Who's the first one?"
"Of course it's far away."
"My sister is right. He is far and away the best in the world."
The conversation between the brother and sister made everyone in the room laugh, even the baby giggled twice.
Most people's worries in this world did not stay with Li Gu. After the confinement period, the confinement nanny left, but the nanny Huang Xiaobing stayed. She did not have to worry about money, her brother helped take care of the children, someone cooked and cleaned, her husband was gentle and considerate, her children were smart and sensible, and her job was stable and valuable.
Li Cheng has exchanged this for his sister's happy life, and he has no regrets or worries.
Life just slips away quietly as children grow and change.
When Sun Jingyuan was one year old, Zhou Leng heard from Sun Yu that Sun Xiaomei had contacted him and said she would come back to see the child soon.
In the second month after Sun Xiaomei took the money and left, she sent a message to Sun Yu telling him not to look for her and that she would come back when she succeeded. A year has passed, and I don’t know whether she succeeded.
Li Gu looked up at her husband and said, "It's good to come back and have a look. Have you told your parents?"
"I did, but their reactions were pretty calm. You and big brother support each other and have such a good relationship. Xiaomei and I have come this far. I often wonder if I didn't care about her enough. If I should have let her take the civil service exam, maybe all these things wouldn't have happened."
Li Gu rolled her eyes secretly, but she didn't say anything. She thought to herself, "If you want to support her, I won't do it. But Sun Xiaomei can run away with her parents' hard-earned money. How can she be a good person?"
Zhou Lengliang learned from the nosy Xiao Ding that Sun Xiaomei was indeed successful in her business.
