That night, Su Yiyuan got on the train with two big bags of things for the children.
After arriving in Yangcheng, I rushed to the airport non-stop. I was relieved when I actually boarded the plane.

I hope my little sister will give birth slowly, otherwise there will be no family members around during the birth, so what if something happens. Although the eldest brother said that the person named Lu is good, no matter how good he is, can he be better than his elder brother?
It's really God's calculations. He's already a few days ahead of schedule. Is it still too late?
The next day, Lu Changzheng sent Su Mo and Li Yuee to the city hospital.
Su Mo is now a public employee, and there is no charge for medical treatment. She only has to pay 10 cents for the registration fee. After paying other expenses in advance, she can be reimbursed by returning the receipt to the commune.
I remember when she first came here, she spent more than ten yuan just to catch a fever.
No wonder people in this era want to have a job, and the fact that they don’t have to pay for medical treatment is attractive enough. For example, some large factories in Haishi have their own hospitals, so you don't even need to pay in advance.
Seeing that Su Mo was still so far away from her due date, the doctor wasn't going to admit her to the hospital, but seeing how big her belly was and the fact that she was twins, he reluctantly admitted her.
However, I have also said that if the baby does not give birth within two days, she will be discharged from the hospital first and then sent back when there is news, so as not to waste national resources.
Su Mo stayed in the hospital, in a three-person room with two pregnant women who were about to give birth.
At this time, you are not able to live in a single room if you have money. Single wards can only be enjoyed by senior cadres.
Lu Changzheng came back in a hurry yesterday. He still had some unarranged matters in the army. He had to go back again today to arrange everything before he could come to the hospital to spend time with his wife.
After settling the people down, Lu Changzheng hurried back to the army to finish the matter as soon as possible and come here as soon as possible.
The original two women in the ward were both close to their due dates, and one of them was already screaming in pain and would give birth soon.
When Su Mo and the others settled down, the aunt on the bed next to her asked Li Yuee, "Sister, is that officer your son just now?"
"Yes, eldest sister." Li Yue'e responded.
"Oh, I am so lucky. My son and daughter-in-law are both so handsome and promising," the aunt praised.
"Your daughter-in-law has a really big belly. She must be a big fat boy."
Li Yue'e smiled and said, "As for the twins, it doesn't matter if they are younger or younger, as long as the children are healthy. Personally, I like girls. If you want to be like my daughter-in-law, you will attract more people."
The aunt clapped her hands and came over to watch curiously, "Oh, twins, those are very rare."
"Is this your first child too?"
"Yes, my first born. Where's yours, eldest sister?"
"It's also the first child. I don't worry about my daughter. I have to come and watch over it myself." The aunt said, "I have given birth to three sons, so I have such a daughter. I don't want to cherish her."
Li Yue'e's smile became even bigger, "What a coincidence, I also have three sons and one daughter."
"Hey, sister, we are really destined." The aunt took Li Yuee's hand and her smile became much brighter.
The two women started chatting.
"To tell you the truth, eldest sister, my son-in-law is also a soldier. If he is not high enough, his family members cannot join the army, so he can only leave his wife at home."
"It's an honor to marry a soldier, but it's also hard. But that girl is so stubborn. Fortunately, the two families are close to each other, so I can always take care of her."
"What level is your son at? Can his family members join the army?"
"My third son is now the commander of the regiment and can join the army. But now that he has been transferred here, he can come back home from time to time."
The aunt gave a thumbs up, "Sister, your son is really like this. He is the leader of the regiment at such a young age."
"It's his luck that he married a good wife." Li Yuee said with a smile.
"Sister, it's rare to find a mother-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law as much as you do." The aunt said, she was also the mother of an army officer, but her in-laws were so annoying.
"I have a good wife here, so it should hurt. There are other annoying people at home..."
The two women had a brief chat, and Su Mo and the aunt's daughter sat on the hospital bed and listened with interest.
Suddenly, my aunt's daughter exclaimed and quickly got off the bed.
"Mom, please get me a pair of pants quickly, I peed again." He said as he walked out to change his pants.
For the past two months, she had no idea what was going on. She would leak urine even if she sneezed or moved a little, which made her, a young daughter-in-law, wet her pants like a child. She was really embarrassed.
When the aunt saw that her daughter's pants were wet, and she was about to get wet again, she quickly grabbed her and said, "Oh, your water has broken. Go back to the bed and lie down for me. I'll call the doctor."
"But I don't even have a stomachache."
"Someone's water broke first. My daughter, please lie down first." Li Yue'e also went to help and helped the pregnant woman lie down.
The aunt quickly went to find a nurse. After the nurse checked her, she said her water had broken and she called her when her stomach hurt.
The aunt was not in the mood to chat anymore, and was worried as she watched her daughter. In less than half an hour, the pregnant woman began to feel pain in her stomach. After a while, she began to scream and scream.
The aunt quickly called for a nurse. When the nurse saw her, she said she was about to give birth, so she quickly pushed her to the delivery room. It took less than two hours.
"He is also a lucky one. He was born quickly and the mother will not have to suffer for too long. He is here to repay his kindness." Li Yue'e said to Su Mo.
After saying that, he turned to Su Mo's belly and said, "You two, please be obedient and don't let your mother suffer too much when the time comes."
As soon as Li Yue'e finished speaking, Su Mo was kicked in the belly, as if in response to their milk words.
"Ouch." Li Yue'e was so happy, "He must be a smart one. He can understand the words while he is still in his belly."
At this time, the pregnant woman who had been crying out in pain when she first arrived started to cry out in pain again. It's just that they have been here for half a morning, and they haven't seen any family members accompanying the pregnant woman.
Li Yue'e couldn't stand it, so she went over and asked, "Daughter, where are your family members? What's your situation now? Do you want to call a doctor for you?"
All women, those who have given birth to children, know the pain.
"My, my wife will be here in a minute. Aunt, please call a doctor for me. I think I will be there soon." The pregnant woman calmed down for a while and then said to Li Yue'e.
Li Yue'e quickly went out and called the nurse. The nurse came over to check and said that she had only opened three fingers and told her to wait.
The pregnant woman almost collapsed, "But I've been in pain for a whole day, why can't I do it? Will the baby be fine?"
The nurse comforted him: "Don't worry, this is a normal phenomenon. Everyone's situation is different, some are faster and some are slower. You opened three fingers very quickly, please bear with me."
"Where are your family members? Ask them to get you some food to replenish your strength, otherwise you won't have enough energy during the birth."
"Okay, thank you doctor." The pregnant woman responded weakly.
After the nurse left, Li Yue'e also comforted her with a few words: "Daughter, don't be too nervous. This is the first time for some people to give birth. For some people, it takes longer. When I gave birth to my eldest son, it took two days of pain. .”
This is also a hard life. When giving birth to a child, you have to go through hell without anyone to accompany you.
